As soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked, Fattomi couldn't help but feel sad, and immediately complained: "Your Excellency General, when you return to China this time, Fattomi bought a large number of goods for the general, but not long after he went to sea, he was all robbed by pirates!" Those damn pirates, I have already reported the name of the general, but they don't pay attention to it, and they have recorded all the fat rich, Your Excellency General, you have to be the master of the fat rich! ”

"Huh?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Speak slowly, what the hell is going on?" ”

Fattomi told the story from beginning to end, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said unhappily: "These ronin, declining samurai, are too unusual. Last time, Mitsuo Shimazu came back from Daming, and he was robbed by them, and this time it's like this again, even my messenger dares to rob it, it's time to give them some teachings. ”

Fei Fu took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Emperor Inu Ming is also worried about this, they hope to join forces with the general to clear the pirates and make the sea route peaceful, otherwise they are unwilling to reopen the door of trade with our Japan." ”

Fat Fu took the opportunity to tell Ashikaga Yoshimitsu about the three conditions mentioned by Xia Xun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't help but hesitate, and muttered: "Cracking down on dirty goods, arresting and selling dirty pirates, attacking and encircling the islands occupied by the pirates that have been discovered, I am thinking about it: there is no problem with the Ming Dynasty to provide information to each other and provide the information of the pirates in their possession, but open the port and allow the Ming warships to dock, rest, and replenish!" This ...... "......"

Fat Fu hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, General, your army is very powerful, but the navy is not as powerful as the pirates, if you can eradicate these pests with the help of the Ming people, then why not?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said with a calm face: "Japan, it's my Ashikaga Yoshimitsu Japan, conniving at his ** team to show off his might in my territory?" No, no, no, no...... "......"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was primarily concerned about reputational issues, and his self-esteem made it difficult for him to make this decision, as it would prove his incompetence and his inability to exercise effective control over Japan. He is not worried about the methods of control over other countries that are more commonly used by the modern world's superpowers, such as military bases and cultural infiltration.

In those days, it was unrealistic to station troops in a country beyond the reach of the whip and thus exercise effective control over the country. You build a base there, and food can be obtained locally, but the replenishment of soldiers and armaments can only depend on the country. And the long way, the supply will cause great difficulties, the Ming garrison in Liaodong, its supply will occupy a considerable part of the tax revenue, and later Zhu Di abolished the Liaodong capital is because of this reason, far away in a foreign country to establish a military base that is enough to deter the country, will cause a huge economic burden to the country, can be imagined.

In addition, there is no need to worry about the long distances, the information that cannot be transmitted instantly, the absence of modern weapons such as rockets and missiles to carry out effective long-range strikes, and the absence of mobile forces that can be quickly put into battle such as aircraft and warships. If they want to destroy the bases of other countries, the battle will start for more than a month, and the news can reach the ears of the rulers of other countries, and then they will gather troops and make preparations in all aspects such as logistics, and the real battle will be half a year later.

Therefore, in that era, under the various practical conditions of that era, the garrison of an independent country that was relatively strong and had a relatively strong military strength would be a waste of money and would have no effect.

As for cultural aggression, the people at that time did not have this understanding, and the Japanese did not resist it in the slightest, and they were eager to absorb Chinese culture, politics, culture, religion, manufacturing, architecture, rules and regulations, everything they wanted to learn, everything was imitated, Chinese characters, Go, calligraphy, tea drinking, and so on, had penetrated into all strata of Japan.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also fond of and searched for Chinese treasures, goods, calligraphy and paintings, gathered scholars and painters with profound Chinese attainments, conducted literary research in the country of Jin, and formed a distinctly Chinese-style Kitayama culture, how could he be resistant to cultural invasion? I can't ask for it.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu hesitated, Fatrich rolled his eyes, hurriedly climbed two steps forward, and whispered: "Your Excellency General, reopen trade with the Ming Dynasty, and the wealth will be in your hands, otherwise if you let the pirates go crazy, it will have two adverse effects on Your Excellency the General." ”

"Oh, tell me about it!"

Fei Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, first, Da Ming is gathering troops to crack down on pirates. On the way back, Feifu has seen the entire Daming coast, everywhere is training military warfare, the pirates are not bargaining, once they suffer losses on the Daming coast, they can only shrink back, rob our Japanese people, which is greatly detrimental to your rule, general. Second, even if the Ming Dynasty was not able to fight the pirates, the things that the pirates could loot were very limited, which could not be compared with the goods obtained by trading with the Ming Dynasty, neither in quantity nor quality.

The third and most important point is that as far as I know, some daimyo and guardians are also secretly letting their samurai join the ranks of pirates, and if they rob the wealth, they will make them stronger, and maybe one day they will pose a threat to His Excellency ...... "......"

"Fatty, you are so bold! Are you telling me that my samurai are not faithful enough to me? ”

"The fat rich don't dare, the fat don't dare, the general is mighty, no one can beat it! However, there is a saying in Chinese that 'talented people have been leading the way for hundreds of years...... "General, you ............ What do you think? ”

This sentence hit Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the underbelly, he was not arrogant enough to think that the Ashikaga family could hold power forever, and his threat came from his samurai.

Genji Ashikaga originated from the Hachiman Taro Minamoto Yoshika, the two sons of the Yoshikoku family, Yoshishige and Yoshiyasu, who lived in Shindaso in Ueno Province and Ashikagaso in Shimono Province respectively, and Yoshiyasu changed his surname to Ashikaga, which is the origin of the Genji Ashikaga clan. In the Battle of Genpei, the Ashikaga clan naturally followed Minamoto Yoritomo, who was also in the same lineage, and after the death of Yorito, the Hojo clan became the true ruler.

Beginning with Yoshikane, the son of Ashikaga Yoshiyasu, the Ashikaga clan has always married into the Hojo family and became the guardian of the Kamiso and Mikawa countries. But the Ashikaga clan in the Kamakura period was just a sword of the Hojo family, and wherever the Hojo family pointed, the Ashikaga family would fight. The Minamoto Yoshiya once left a last word, "One of my seventh generation of descendants will be able to seize the world...... ......""When I arrived at the Ashikaga family, it happened to be the seventh article, and I was still living under the suppression of the Hojo family, and I felt ashamed of my ancestors when I was at home, so I revised the seven-year plan left by my ancestors, and pretended to be a fool and claimed that "someone in the next three generations will definitely take the heavens and ......" and then committed suicide by seppuku in Hachimangu.

However, it also happened that the Ashikaga family really rose within three generations after so many years of joint efforts from generation to generation, and finally became the emperor above the Japanese emperor in the generation of Zanri Yoshimitsu.

In the era of the emperor's rule, the magistrates of the 66 countries (66 states) in Japan were appointed by the emperor, and in order to confront the emperor, the general of the Seiyi Dynasty placed his own clans or heroes in each country to become "guardians", and had the power of local military and administrative and police inspections. The administrative and taxation powers have become the actual victims.

And are these perpetrators really willing to be subject to the Ashikaga family forever? In the past, they followed the Ashikaga clan and gained their current status, will their descendants be as ambitious as the Ashikaga clan was in the past?

The anger on Ashikaga Yoshiman's face disappeared, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "What kind of person is this Yang Xu?" What is the status in front of the Ming Emperor? The Ming Emperor gave him all the right to negotiate with Japan, if I agree to his conditions, then what kind of benefits can I get, or a tribute for ten years? The copper coins we minted ourselves are of too poor quality to circulate at all, we need the copper coins of the Ming Kingdom, will they still restrict the outflow of copper coins? ”

Fat Fu was stunned, he didn't know much about Yang Xu at all, and he couldn't give an answer to these things that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little displeased, and said with his sleeves: "Find out as soon as possible, and then reply to me!" ”

Fei Fu hurriedly agreed, hurriedly said goodbye and left. After the fat tomo left, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thought for a moment, summoned a guard samurai, and ordered: "Go to the city, find a few people who have recently come from the Ming Kingdom, who know more about their court, I need to know some news about the Ming Dynasty!" Need to know their auxiliary prince Yang Xu! ”

Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, is now watching the sea off Haiwei, and he is standing on a warship, watching the drills of Li Yifeng and Chizhong's two naval fleets.

At present, Li Yifeng and Chizhong's fleet are still in continuous exercises, but their drills are not just this kind of exercises aimed at imaginary enemies, after Chizhong arrived in eastern Zhejiang, he led the Fuzhou Naval Division, which is rich in naval warfare, and has already taken Li Yifeng's Chaohu Naval Division to fight several battles with the Koukou. The Chaohu Naval Division, which has quickly become proficient in water conditions, sea routes, and maritime combat skills, is now able to carry out patrol missions alone.

Recommended by Xia Xun, Si Hanchao, who has become the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Envoy, stood beside Xia Xun steadily, watched the drill for a while, and the leader said: "The people are on the sea, it is difficult to compete with my Daming Sailor, but now look at it, the command of the Chidu Division is remarkable, and the tactics of Li Dusi are quite novel. However, there is one thing that is unclear about the humble position, and it is difficult for Baien to understand it...... Liu Xia Xun held on to the side of the ship, smiling and watching the two fleets flexibly surround and counter-encircle; Interspersed, interspersed, and asked, "What's the confusion?" ”

Si Hanchao said: "Ministry, my Daming Navy Division warship, mostly use Dafu ships. The Great Fortune ship is as tall as a city, sailing on the empty ocean, but when it encounters a ship, it can just rush into the past, and it is invincible, so most of the warships of my sailors are equipped with such warships, but the warships equipped by the adults, why are they mainly sentinel ships, sea boats, Cangshan ships and even centipede speedboats? If it is because of the rush of time, I am afraid that the shipyard will not be able to build enough warships, and I think that I can try to requisition the existing huge ships of various sailors. ”

Xia Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "Where there is a strength, there must be a short." The big ship is indeed powerful, and when encountering at sea, you don't need to fight the strength, you only need to fight the ship's strength, you can run over the mantis in a car, the problem is that those 'praying mantises' can't beat you, but they will run. The Daifuku ship is as tall as a city, it is difficult to drive by manpower, and it is all supported by the wind, so that when there is no wind, it is a waste, and when the wind is not right, it needs to turn around and keep turning, and use this time, the vulnerable ship has long escaped.

Therefore, ships must be diverse in order to adapt to the unpredictable seas. What's more, the place where I really fought as a sailor this time will be a shallow sea water, where the islands and reefs are crisscrossed? Big ships, not very useful, it is these flexible small boats that can play a big role, when the time comes, let's prepare more underwater mines, haha......"

Xia Xun suddenly laughed, pointed his finger forward and said, "Look, in the end, it is the Chidu Division that is more skilled, and Li Yifeng's fleet is surrounded again!" ”

It seems that Chi Zhong was the right person to choose Chi Zhong as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and for now, Chi Zhong's rich experience and naval combat skills make him the best person to command this huge fleet. However, in the long run, once Li Yifeng, a young general, is familiar with naval warfare, has accumulated enough experience, combined with his various innovations in naval divisions, he is bound to catch up with the latter and become an outstanding admiral.

The soldiers of Shuangyu Wei did not participate in the exercise, they have their own way of playing, not only have they been accustomed to it over the years, but also created a set of unique tactics that belong to them, Xia Xun has no need to force them to reform, learn the consistent tactical tactics of the Ming Naval Division, and Zhu Di conjecture is different, Xia Xun did not plan to treat Shuangyu Wei as his Chinese fleet, but let them out, as a strange army cruising outside the main fleet to fight independently.

In this way, on the one hand, it solves the problem of insufficient tacit cooperation between Shuangyuwei and other naval fleets, and also relies on Shuangyuwei's strong survivability and independent combat ability to give full play to its strengths and give full play to their greatest combat effectiveness.

The Shuangyu Guardian has left Shuangyu and rushed to Ryukyu, and the target that Xia Xun really wants to occupy is here.

The Ryukyus were a transit point for trade in Northeast and Southeast Asia, and were known as the "Tsuryo of the World", and are now home to three small states and countless tribes. One hundred years later, it will be unified: two hundred years later, it will be occupied by the Satsuma, who live in the southernmost part of Japan, and become a puppet state of Japan: four hundred years later, it will change its name to Okinawa and be completely incorporated into the Japanese territory; Then there was the "......" ...... Naha and the Diaoyu Islands, all the way south until they took control of Taiwan.

Xia Xun nailed a wedge here, there are polar bears in the north, Shuangyu tigers in the south, Daming in the west, and Canghai in the east, where will the snake be stuck, there will never be enough space for it to turn into a dragon!

And other fleets stationed there, not only will it consume a huge amount of money from the Ming court, so that the Ming Dynasty can't bear it, but it will not be able to integrate into and really gain a foothold at all, but Shuangyuwei is different, this not very "rule-abiding" sailor fleet will be the most suitable fleet to take root here and survive!

Here, it will become an aircraft carrier that will not sink into the Ming Dynasty!
