Chapter 111: What's the use of raising you

Looking at the four pavilions with a pale face, a thought popped up in Ye Chunqiu's mind.

The Portuguese should have made preparations at the same time, expressing "good intentions". If the Ming Dynasty allowed it, they might find a settlement and "do business" with the Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty flatly refused, they would use force.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart. He never expected that his actions of the rich would actually trigger such a big crisis.

But now when I think about it carefully, which Portuguese who arrived here is not a greedy adventurer? These people have come from all the way from Florida to the point where they are pursuing wealth.

They were doing business, holding swords in the other hand, and crossing the ocean. They thought they had already made a fortune by taking India and taking Malacca. However, a local tyrant from the Ming Dynasty actually used tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a few seeds that were worthless in their eyes.

It would be fine if it was a luxury item, but it was the most valuable thing.

You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Once the other party thinks that the Ming Dynasty is full of gold and silver, the result can be imagined.

This should be a military adventure carried out by the Governor of Malacca, Portugal. In fact, they have tried such an adventure many times, but this time, their goal is the Ming Dynasty.

Quanzhou is the most important harbor of the Ming Dynasty and is of great significance. Like Ningbo, it is a place where diplomatic envoys enter and exit. Now it was destroyed by the Portuguese in one fell swoop, which immediately ruined the Ming Dynasty's face.

What's more, these Folang Ji people plundered and massacred the city, which was extremely rampant. Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse was also burned down, and the losses were heavy.

More than 7,000 officers and soldiers were killed in battle, which cast a shadow on the court. It can almost be said that this was the first serious setback after the Tumu Fort Incident.

In the tea room of the cabinet, there was a silence for a moment, and almost anyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

Even Xie Qian, who was so angry just now, was speechless. It was obvious that he lost too unfairly in this battle and too depressed.

Tens of thousands of troops were vulnerable, and the tall Quanzhou city wall broke the city overnight. What was even more annoying was that if the Portuguese did not leave, the court could immediately order the Guangdong general and the guards of Zhejiang to rush to support the Japanese guards and encircle them. In any case, they could avenge a single arrow.

However, after the killing started, they quickly fled far away and disappeared into the vast ocean, and no longer saw any trace.

Frustrated...

Liu Jian let out a long sigh at this time. He knew that the court had already reached this point and the court was powerless. Everyone had already run away. What else could he do besides comforting and repairing Quanzhou? It was probably just to strengthen his defense.

Liu Jian's face was very bad. The court suffered such a crushing defeat and was so miserable, but he still didn't know what the government and the country would make a fuss. He stroked his beard and said bitterly: "You guys, be prepared to write a letter to apologize. What happened such a big thing today is my fault, hey..."

After Liu Jian sighed, he stopped talking.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liu, don't know when the specific Chen memorial of Fujian Provincial Administration and the loss has been counted?"

"What?" Liu Jian seemed to have grown a lot aged a lot. He looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Does Chunqiu have something to say?"

"I just want to analyze it." Ye Chunqiu looked suspicious and continued, "I think it's a bit strange."

Liu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "They have fled far away. What's the use of saying this now?"

Seeing that they looked sad, Ye Chunqiu didn't say anything more and said goodbye to the cabinet. However, he thought that the little emperor should have known about this at this time, so he hurried back to the warm room to meet him.

Zhu Houzhao had indeed received the news. Now Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were kneeling here. Zhu Houzhao seemed furious. Seeing Ye Chunqiu returning here, he was not surprised. He just stared at Zhang Yong and Liu Jin and said, "Those envoys have gone out to sea? Hurry up and find a way to recover them. I want to cut them into pieces, and I must cut them into pieces."

After experiencing such a crushing defeat, several cabinet ministers felt depressed, let alone Zhu Houzhao?

Not long ago, the Florians were still lying down to ask for advice, but who expected that they would prepare for both hands and not have any morality at all.

The mentality of the Celestial Kingdom is now no longer able to follow the trend of the world. In Folangji, people's selfishness and cunning have been infinitely amplified. Everything is seen from money has become the norm for people. Therefore, they can go out to sea with all their might, or they can plunder foreign countries or even their own ships without hesitation, and explore what they call their trade points everywhere. If trade cannot satisfy their appetite, they will plunder. If looting is not enough to satisfy them, they will slaughter.

The Ming Dynasty was still immersed in the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Zhu Houzhao hated the Folangji people attacked Quanzhou and hated the Folangji people massacre, but what he hated even more was their cunning and treacherousness.

At this time, Liu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, they have gone out of the sea, but they have been out of the sea for two days, I'm afraid..."

"Bastard." Zhu Houzhao, who was angry, picked up the memorial on the table and threw it hard on Liu Jin's face. Liu Jin just knelt down and did not dare to show up.

"Pan Zhang, tell me, let me tell you, can the Imperial Horse Supervisor urgently dispatch troops and rush to Quanzhou immediately. If the Folang Jimen attacks again, can the Warriors Camp resist?"

"This..." Zhang Yong was speechless for a moment. He wanted to pat his chest and promise, but he was scared. If he had promised himself to go to Quanzhou, then the Folang Jiman would come and go without a trace. God knows when will he log in? If he really killed someone and shot him back, his life would be out of order.

Zhang Yong analyzed this memorial and understood some of the military. Naturally, he knew how powerful these Folang Ji people were, and he didn't have the confidence in his heart and did not dare to say all of them.

When Zhu Houzhao saw him wandering, he was furious again: "Bastards, you are all a bunch of bastards, what's the use of me to support you?"

"I have to die." The two had to pause.

However, at this time, Zhu Houzhao finally set his eyes on Ye Chunqiu, who was beside Hou, and said, "Chunqiu has come just right. I, the Ming Dynasty, have never experienced such a great defeat for so many years. What does Chunqiu have to think about this matter? Let me tell you, let me tell you."

Zhu Houzhao had a bad temper, but she was annoyed at this time and her body was trembling with anger.
