I want to ruin the country

The word "brother" also touched the soft spot deep in Prince Gong's heart. Who says it isn't true?

However, Prince Gong wondered if his fourth brother had called him here today just to complain to him!

He tried to say,

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please give me your orders. As long as our ancestors are in heaven, I swear that for the sake of our ancestors' legacy, I will obey your orders and will not bring shame to them!"

Prince Gong was able to swear in front of his ancestors, it seems that his knot in his heart is about to be untied. Since you have done me a favor, I will return the favor!

"Sixth brother, I want to do two things now. Let me discuss them with you first to see if they are feasible!"

When Yi Xin heard that there was something to discuss with him, he was very happy. It seemed that his fourth brother had no ill will towards him!

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"First, I want to train a new army."

Yi Xin was surprised.

"Organize a new army? How many should be trained?"

Yining Road,

"Start by training 50,000 new troops, then gradually increase the number to no less than 500,000!"

Prince Gong took a deep breath. How could a soldier survive without five taels of silver a year?

Prince Gong said worriedly,

“That’s a huge expense!”

Yining Road,

"How could I not know this? But now we can no longer win the war by relying on those veteran soldiers of the Eight Banners and Green Camps!

Our country cannot rely on them, otherwise the crooked tree where Emperor Chongzhen was hanged on Coal Hill will also be my final resting place!

My death is a small matter, but my ancestors' legacy is in my hands. How can I face them in public?

Prince Gong thought to himself, is the emperor asking me to train a new army?

This is an offensive job. Can Senglinqin and those Eight Banners nobles do it?

The Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp have always been their sphere of influence. If their interests are affected, it would be strange if they don't fight to the death with us. This is absolutely not something we can do!

Prince Gong quickly said,

"Your Majesty, let alone the lack of money now, even if you had the money, would those nobles and generals be willing to abandon them and train a new army?"

Yining sneered,

"They've led the troops into this state, and they still have the nerve to refuse. I haven't even settled the score with them yet!"

Prince Gong asked,

"What does the Emperor's second wish?"

Yining Road,

"I'm going to send people to the West!"

Prince Gong was weighing the pros and cons of training a new army and sailing to the West. After a long time without any conclusion, he asked tentatively,

"Your Majesty, do you intend to let me train a new army?"

Yining smiled.

"Sixth brother is really smart, he guessed it right!"

Prince Gong thought, as expected, this is a big pit, I can't step into it, and then said,

"Originally, the emperor has sent an order, and I shouldn't refuse, but I don't know how to lead troops!"

Yining said in his heart, you really don’t want to do this job, but this is not really prepared for you. Even if you want to do it, I still don’t agree.

he said,

"Listen to me first, then make your choice!"

"Whoo!"

Yining Road,

"If we want to build a powerful ironclad fleet, we need a lot of money, but the money we can spend now is limited!

I want South Korea to contribute some of the money to establish a joint fleet!"

Prince Gong said,

"As far as I know, the Koreans are also extremely poor. I'm afraid they don't have any money either. Besides, even if they did have money, would they be willing to spend it?"

Yining gritted his teeth and said,

"It's not up to them whether to take it or not!"

Prince Gong didn't know why his fourth brother said that.

"Your Highness does not understand!"

Yining said with a smile,

"The reason is that if we don't care about them, their fate will be the destruction of their country!"

Prince Gong was surprised.

"Destroyed country?"

"In a few years, the Japanese will invade South Korea with great force. What do you think is better, they should be our sons or the Japanese's grandsons?"

Prince Gong asked in surprise,

"Will the Japanese really invade them?"

Yining sneered,

"Has Japan ever given up on invading Korea? If it weren't for the Wanli Emperor, would the Koreans still have a home? They would have become second-class citizens long ago!

The Ming Dynasty defeated Japan in a war that left them completely defeated and weakened, and only then did they behave themselves for over two hundred years!

Prince Gong also knew about this war. During the Wanli period (1592), Toyotomi Hideyoshi planned to use Korea as a springboard to land in the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese squashes defeated the enemy with great force and soon drove the Korean King Li Yan to Liaodong in the Panda Kingdom.

Emperor Wanli was furious and resolutely sent troops to fight against the Japanese pirates.

After six years of fighting, the Japanese were finally driven out of the Korean Island, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi died!

This war is known in history as the "Imjin War".

This war was also the last glory of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, until 1945, the Panda Kingdom never won any foreign wars again.

In fact, the Japanese invaded Korea that time to test the strength of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty ignored the Koreans, they would use Korea as a springboard to invade mainland China.

The reason why the squashes love to go ashore is that they live in the vast ocean with no one around them, and they are afraid that one day God will be displeased with them and send them to hell through earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and volcanoes!

There is nothing wrong with wanting to live a stable life, but will the neighbors around him give up their homes to him? If they don’t, he has no choice but to rob!

The strong prey on the weak, the law of the jungle, there is nothing wrong with that. Whoever lags behind will be bullied, it’s not unfair!

Then I heard Yining say again,

"Emperor Wanli kept them quiet for two hundred and sixty years. Now that they've recovered, they're ready to strike again. I've received accurate information that they're making plans to attack the Bangko Sins!"

Prince Gong couldn't help but believe it, he asked,

"When will they start?"

In fact, the Japanese now have no plans to invade Korea.

Because the last time Emperor Wanli slapped them and exposed their true colors, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi even lost his life, they have been obedient for so many years because they know that this powerful neighbor to the west is not easy to mess with.

It was not until the Meiji Restoration in 1868 that they recovered.

There are still eighteen years until 1868, and the Japanese have no intention of invading Korea.

But Yining had to say this, otherwise, how could the Koreans take out the money happily?

In fact, Yining felt a little guilty. Millions of taels of silver were nothing if he was given time.

But there is no time now, so I have to encourage my sixth brother, who is more clever than a monkey in fur, to go to Korea to ask for money!

No one else can do this, only he can do it because he is the emperor's younger brother!

Not giving face to the emperor's brother is not giving face to the emperor himself. They have to think carefully about the consequences of not giving face to the emperor!

However, Yining estimated that they didn’t dare yet!

Why don’t the Koreans dare not pay out the money? Because they know the Japanese people’s character too well!

Yining wants money, but the Japanese gourds want more than just money. They also want your home, your woman, and your life!
