Steel Dynasty - Chapter 830

[Chapter 829: Changes in the Cao Family]

“Your Majesty, a division led by Yun Changfeng has settled in Liujing City, and the credential of the King of Korea has also arrived.”

In the imperial study, Qian Dafu held the credential of Korea in both hands. This was the credential that the post general had just left. Gao Li sent it back.

It had been more than ten days since he last received the Crown Prince of Korea and Huang Zixu at the Zhengdaguangming Palace, and now he finally waited for the reply from the King of Korea.

“This King of Korea is not stupid enough.” Xiao Ming stood up and looked out the window. From June to July, more than half of this year has passed.

Generally speaking, he is very satisfied with the results achieved this year. First, he captured the six cities in Guandong from the barbarians. This strategy completely turned the Golden Horde into a nomadic nation and could no longer confront the Great Chongqing Kingdom head-on.

The next achievement was Goryeo. After losing the protection of the Golden Horde, Goryeo finally returned to the normal historical track and became a vassal of the Great Yu Kingdom again.

“No, if he is ignorant, the emperor will probably kill him.” Qian Dafu said with a smile. At the court meeting that day, he felt that Xiao Ming had murderous intentions towards the King of Korea.

“Indeed, I will not allow an ignorant King of Koryo to exist, because it will affect the control of Dayu Kingdom over Koryo.”

Qian Dafu nodded, “It’s just that although Goryeo was recovered, the Japanese country became Dayu Kingdom again. It’s a serious problem, and compared to Goryeo, Japan is more difficult to deal with.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming laughed, “Japan is indeed better than Goryeo and the Golden Horde in terms of firearms, but compared to our country, Dayu. There are many differences. The only trouble is that this Yamada Nobunaga is very good. He makes the Daimyo and the people of Japan very enthusiastic, a bit like ****?

“What is this?” Incomprehensible.

Xiao Ming pondered for a while. He didn’t make this sentence out of nowhere, but based it on the analysis of the secret guard’s intelligence.

Because of the existence of technological crystals, he has also been studying the characteristics of the Japanese country. Generally speaking, the Japanese country has some good characteristics, such as hard work, obedience, and loyalty, but its shortcomings are also very obvious. They are strong in subordination and the island country has a narrow mind. Easy to go to extremes, very cruel to other ethnic groups, lack of compassion.

Coupled with the existence of the bushido spirit that is deeply rooted in the souls of the Japanese islanders, this nation can easily be transferred to Japan and become a country of robbers in a short time due to the bewitchment of politicians.

This was true whether it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Wanli period or the invasion during World War II.

In this era, it was Yamada Nobunaga who led the Japanese country to extremes. According to the records of the Japanese country by the Dayu Kingdom, the bushido spirit of the Japanese country in this time and space showed many characteristics. The warriors of the Japanese country were arrogant and at the same time inferior. This inferiority complex It also makes them pay attention to etiquette on the surface, but they are brutal and cruel in their hearts. They take pleasure in bullying the weak, and at the same time they show amazing obedience to the strong.

This is the Japanese country he knows, a strange country where if you press him to the ground and rub him, he will call you daddy.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming’s view, before Dayu had beaten the Japanese to the ground, the Japanese had always despised Dayu, even though they knew that Dayu might become stronger.

After all, the bad nature of the Japanese country is to deceive itself and others, and it will not shed tears until it sees the coffin.

During the contemporary World War II, the Japanese country dared to directly attack the United States, which is enough to show how nervous this country is.

“It means going militarily.” Xiao Ming said lightly. Qian Dafu said

with a clear look, “You have to have some ability to engage in military affairs. If you don’t have the ability, isn’t it just looking for trouble?”

“That’s true, Yamada Nobunaga is just looking for trouble.” Xiao Ming laughed. .

The two were chatting and laughing, when a young eunuch came outside the imperial study and said loudly: “Your Majesty, Li San, the commander of the secret guards, is asking for an audience outside the palace.”

“Let him in.” Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows, and Li San asked Responsible for the intelligence collection in Dayu.

Regardless of Wang Xuan or Li San, if they have important information, they will come to report to him personally.

After a while, Li San arrived outside the imperial study.

Li San is now a little chubby. Since marrying Liuli, Li San has been living a good life.

After entering the imperial study, Li San bowed and said solemnly, “Your Majesty, the lower officials found something unusual in the Cao Family Bank, so they immediately went to the palace to report to the Emperor.”

“Cao Family?” Xiao Ming frowned.

Li San continued: “Yes, the emperor played hard to catch the Cao family, just waiting for the Cao family to make mistakes. Unexpectedly, this time he really answered the emperor’s guess.”

Xiao Ming was not surprised. In this era, many officials and businessmen would use Judging him by the thinking of this era, Xiao Ming’s foresight was much higher than theirs. ‘

Often when they make a small move, Xiao Ming understands what they are going to do.

Especially businessmen, they couldn’t see Xiao Ming’s supervisory hand and thought that the imperial court had no concern for their business activities. This was a big mistake.

“What exactly happened?” Xiao Ming asked.

“According to the information obtained by the secret guard, a lot of money was transported out of the Cao family bank in a grand manner today. According to the bank, the bank needs to transfer the money to other banks. “Li San said.

After a pause, he continued: “And at the same time, Cao Zhengyang is selling assets in Youzhou and Qingzhou to other businessmen in the name of family business losses.”

“I see.” Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes. Come on, these behaviors of the Cao family are normal, because money turnover is a very common thing.

It’s just different in the eyes of Xiao Ming and the secret guards. Their behavior is very questionable, but Xiao Ming doesn’t dare to make a decision. If this is just a normal thing, his rash removal of Cao Zhengyang may cause criticism from businessmen and make more people more suspicious. Many businessmen support the King of Chu who is now desperate to Westernize.

“In this way, don’t alert the snake for the time being. You send people to keep an eye on the merchant ships transporting silver. Once the merchant ships try to reach Chu State, you and the Jinling City defenders will immediately capture them. At the same time, you immediately ask the secret guards to investigate all the Cao family in the north. Once we find similar behavior in the bank, we will immediately seal off the Cao family bank with the security guard,” Xiao Ming said.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Li San nodded heavily.

After reporting the matter, Li San turned around and left. At this time, Xiao Ming rubbed his eyebrows. In fact, he had expected this day in his heart, but he was a little unhappy when it actually happened.

Because the Cao family’s behavior proved one thing to him, after getting enough money, a businessman will definitely look for every opportunity to claim rights.

Standing up and looking out the window, Xiao Mingji took it seriously and said, “Qian Dafu, what do you think of holding businessmen’s court meetings regularly?”

Qian Dafu looked confused. He was shocked and said, “The emperor is ready to compromise with the businessmen?”
