Chapter 570: The Meaning of Fuso
Li Chen was groaning, he was thinking about whether to agree to mediate, this was a matter that should be cautious for both him and Daqin.
"Okamoto Ryiyam, let me ask you, does the Tokugawa family's green jade pill really have the miraculous effect as the legend?" Li Chen looked at Okamoto Lingshan and asked in a solemn tone.
Perhaps because of his perennial high position, Li Chen's body has a coercion, and this kind of coercion is directly pressed against Okamoto Lingshan with a feeling of breathlessness. In the face of Li Chen, Okamoto Lingshan did not have the courage to lie.
"Poof." Okamoto Lingshan's knees weakened, and the whole person was prostrate on the ground, and he said in a trembling tone: "Report to the Generalissimo, how dare you lie about this matter." This green jade pill is indeed a rare miracle medicine, and several generations of patriarchs of my Tokugawa family have personally tried it. The patriarch of the Tokugawa family took the soup soaked in this green jade pill all the year round, and the last years to live were all over 90 years old, and there were even people who were 100 years old. ”
Hearing what Okamoto Lingshan said, Li Chen's face turned heavy, and he said in his heart, could it be that this green jade pill really has some magic effect.
"Really?" Li Chen asked solemnly.
"Naturally, you can't fake it, this matter is well known in my Fusang, how to do it." Okamoto Lingshan said solemnly.
If you think about it, Okamoto Ryozan is a fool, and it is impossible to lie about this kind of thing. Japan is now probably a time when warlords were divided, and the warlords who ruled everywhere were called shogunates. The Tokugawa shogunate was the largest of these warlords, and it was a giant in the land of Fuso. Although the lord of the shogunate is compared to the emperor of Great Qin, he can be regarded as a weakened version of the little emperor. When such a person lives and when he dies, naturally he can't hide it from anyone, so the patriarch of the Tokugawa family has lived for nearly a hundred years in a row, and he shouldn't be able to fake it.
You know, this era is not comparable to the previous life, this is an era of poor medical environment. Not to mention Fusang, an island country with poor living conditions, even if you can be hot pot in Daqin, seventy years are considered elderly people. Not to mention that the successive lords of the Tokugawa shogunate lived to be ninety or hundreds of years old. It can be said that it is a coincidence that one person is like this, but several people are like this one after another, so there is naturally an important reason for this.
These people have also taken the decoction of the green jade pill, so it can be seen that even if this green jade pill is not as miraculous as the legend, it must have a peculiar medicinal effect.
"Get up." After Li Chen pondered for a moment, he motioned for Okamoto Lingshan to stand up.
Hey, this Fusang person is really, he always likes to crawl on the ground, how cold is this ground.
"Qingyu Pill's matter, can you do it?" Li Chen looked at Okamoto Lingshan and asked solemnly.
That's right, Li Chen already had the idea of mediating for the Tokugawa shogunate in his heart. The First Emperor is too important to Daqin, and this importance is far more important than Da Hadron to Jingdong and Jackma to Ali.
The First Emperor is unique and irreplaceable for Great Qin.
It may be that the development of Great Qin to the present, the actual role of the First Emperor in Great Qin can be replaced. But the first emperor's spiritual role in Great Qin is indeed irreplaceable. This is a spiritual leader that no one can replace, if he is gone, then the spirit of the people of Great Qin will inevitably languish for a long time.
Li Chen thought in his heart, what Great Qin needed now was a bridgehead to get out of the land and go to the sea. The Ryukyu Islands are well placed to serve as their bridgehead, and Fuso is not necessary. And if you get the Blue Jade Pill through war, it will take too long, and it is not safe. Suppose that when the Tokugawa shogunate was defeated, it destroyed the green jade pill, which would inevitably be a bit more than worth the loss.
Saving the First Emperor is the most important thing for Great Qin, if Qingyu Pill can save the First Emperor, then it is not impossible to let Fusang go for the time being.
"Although I can't be the master of this green jade pill, but the daughter of our Tokugawa shogunate, the daughter of Tokugawa West Asia, is in Qu County. If Hou Ye agrees to see her, he can come to see Hou Ye tomorrow. "Okamoto Ridge Mountain Masasemichi.
Li Chen was anxious to save the First Emperor, and hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, what are you waiting for tomorrow." Go back now, and let that young lady of your family come to see me. ”
Hearing this, Okamoto Lingshan was overjoyed in his heart, and he hesitated a little regardless of his thoughts. He said tentatively, "Generalissimo, it's noon now, I'll go back now, and then tell the young lady to come over." This back and forth is estimated to be evening. Seeing such a solemn thing as the generalissimo, it must have been a little unruly at night. ”
Li Chen's face turned pale, and he immediately said: "What rules are not in order, the words of this handsome are rules." Okay, you go back now, and notify the young lady of your family to come over, Ben Shuai is waiting here. ”
As the weaker side, Okamoto Ridge Mountain has the right to choose where to go. Anyway, their purpose was to see the generalissimo, and since the generalissimo was in a hurry to see him, he would do it at night. Thinking of this, Okamoto Lingshan hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, then I can go back and inform Miss." ”
After Okamoto Lingshan left, Du Bishu asked Li Chen, "Marshal, let's really give up Fusang like this." ”
Li Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "If that Qingyu Pill can really save Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if Fusang is defeated or not." In a strategic sense, it was enough to be able to capture the Ryukyus. The reason why I want to attack Fuso is because of a silver-rich district in Fuso. Of course, even if we let Fusang go, the mining rights of the silver mine in the Fusang area must be held in our hands anyway. ”
Great Qin now needed a lot of copper ore to make weapons, but it also needed a lot of copper for private currency transactions. However, in this era, the mining technology for copper ore is extremely scarce, and the current situation of Daqin is that the low yield of scary copper, the army needs to use it to cast muskets and artillery every year, and the household department also needs it to replenish copper coins. Every year, because of the distribution of copper production, the household department and the military almost fight.
And once the silver mines in the Fusang area are obtained, then a large amount of silver can flow into Daqin. In terms of currency, silver can gradually completely replace copper and become a widely used currency among the people.
In this way, all the copper output can be used for the development of the army, so that the weapons of the Great Qin army will be updated more quickly.
Du Bishu is a smart person, so he is naturally thorough. Li Chen's intentions, as soon as he said it, he understood everything. In a strategic sense, the capture of Fuso was just an additional place for the Ryukyus to be horns of each other. This kind of meaning is there, but it is not very significant. Now Li Chen's purpose is nothing more than silver ore and green jade pills, as long as these two purposes can be accomplished, Fusang is not much different from it.
