Thanks to the "Chief of the Innocent Dao" for raising 100 taels to rescue the 9,000-year-old from prison!

.......

If you want to conquer Japan, you must first conquer the Ryukyus; If you want to subdue the Ryukyus, you must first possess Taiwan.

The same is true for the imperial maritime industry, in order to properly collect the passage money to and from merchant ships, the Ming must control the route of Ryukyu and Taiwan.

In Japan, the suppression of Christians by the Tokugawa shogunate made the long-standing movement more intense, and the power of the shogunate became more powerful, and even many powerful people of the shogunate were secretly opposing the rebellion.

Taiwan has been officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of the Ming Emperor's pro-army command envoys, the combined fleet is also about to launch an expedition to the Ryukyus, if you can conquer the Ryukyus in one fell swoop, you can use this expedition to Japan, this is called the geographical advantage.

What is harmony?

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a man and a man!

As long as His Majesty the Emperor can unswervingly support, the soldiers of the Ming Emperor's army will conquer Japan in one fell swoop under the leadership of Gonggong Wei in order to achieve the unification of the Chinese cultural circle.

Father-in-law Wei was impassioned, and at the political level, he firmly tied the meaning of the expedition to Japan with the national fortunes of the Emperor and the emperor's own exploits, and pointed out that if the Ming Dynasty could conquer Japan, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely be famous and famous in history.

On the military level, Gonggong Wei told His Majesty the Emperor that the naval forces of the Ming Dynasty were far stronger than those of Japan, and that the strength of the newly formed combined fleet was no less than that of the shogunate.

"According to the slave maid, after the death of the thief chief Toyotomi of the Tokugawa shogunate, the sailors did not pay enough attention to it. If His Majesty can send someone to canonize and pardon his past sins, the slave maid expects that Li Dan and others will not be driven for me, but they will not serve Tokugawa.

On the other hand, the Tokugawa shogunate, if it were known that our country had canonized Li Dan and other maritime strongmen, they would definitely be suspicious. If we make use of it, we will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

This judgment was made by Gonggong Wei from the moment he knew that Li Dan actually controlled Japan's foreign shipping lanes and was Tokugawa Ieyasu's God of Wealth.

The basis for this judgment is that those who are not of our race will have different hearts!

If Li Dan was a guest of Tokugawa before Tokugawa failed to unify Japan, now, this pirate God of Wealth is only a thorn in Ieyasu's side.

This can be seen from the Murayama fleet that invaded Taiwan.

Tokugawa Ieyasu let Murayama father and son lead a fleet expedition to Taiwan, instead of allowing Li Dan's fleet to attack Taiwan, which already showed that Tokugawa Ieyasu was cultivating his own sea power. Even without the operation of Father-in-law Wei, the "breakup" of Tokugawa and Li Dan is inevitable.

As the old Chinese saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, but it is an eternal truth.

"The slave maid thought that as long as the shogunate's naval forces could be defeated, the imperial army would be able to land on its long coastline at will and make actual contact with the anti-shogunate forces, or gather heavy troops to attack its Kyoto and attack its cities, or imitate the Japanese invaders and cooperate with the anti-shogunate forces to disturb the heart of Japan. Our imperial army can fight and nourish on the spot, but his shogunate cannot, and after a long time, the shogunate will surrender to my Ming Dynasty..."

Gonggong Wei spared no effort to peddle his plans for an expedition to Japan, and many of the versions were directly copied from Jin Xuezeng, the governor of Fujian.

Wanli listened to it and felt that it was feasible, but he was repeatedly concerned about a question, that is, whether the shogunate of the Japanese country would really be as Wei Liangchen said, and be forced to cede land and pay compensation without coastal defense, and send the Iwami Silver Mountain to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

"If not, the slave is willing to come to see her!"

Father-in-law Wei's answer was categorical.

The emperor replied to this, but he was not confident.

In the battle to aid Korea, after all, there were more than 200,000 soldiers in the Japanese army, how could it be so easy to conquer.

His Majesty still hopes to see real money immediately, instead of waiting for next year with his neck crossed.

It's just that it seems that Wei Liangchen is really exhausted, and he really can't squeeze too much silver out of this kid.

Whether to let him slow down, or to fish with all his might, Wanli groaned there.

Seeing this, Father-in-law Wei was anxious and worried that Wanli would not allow it. He looked at Jin Zhong as if asking for help, Jin Zhong stretched out three fingers, Wei Liangchen shook his head and raised two fingers.

When Gonggong Jin saw it, he sighed secretly, how can he also be a person under his own name, if he can do something to his own family, he will be less than a thousand taels.

He said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wei is in the southeast to run maritime affairs for Your Majesty, the imperial court has not invested a penny of silver, everything depends on Xiao Wei himself to have today's maritime appearance... The old slave thought that now that he had the ambition to share the worries of His Majesty and go to Japan to seek the losses of our war, he might as well let him do it for a year and a half, and tell him to do it first. ”

Wanli was noncommittal.

Jin Zhong then said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wei has no merit and hard work, thinking of his hard work over the years, Your Majesty will give him some dragon grace." ”

Saying this, thinking that he had received a lot of silver from Xiao Wei in the past few years, and his family still owed a lot of money to others, His Majesty the Emperor finally relented, glanced at Wei Liangchen, who was worried, and snorted slightly: "You just have to do this matter, and I will let you go for a year." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Father-in-law Wei was overjoyed when he heard the sound of heaven. With Wanli's support, his long-prepared plan to conquer the sun can finally be put on the table to talk to the Zhejiang Party.

"Your Majesty, what about my second uncle?"

My father-in-law was happy and didn't forget about the second uncle, which is a major event that coexists with Zhengri.

Wanli frowned and said: "Li Jinzhong has committed such a big thing, if I just let him go, how can I explain to the foreign court?" ”

His Majesty the Emperor really didn't embarrass Father-in-law Wei, but it was really difficult to explain this matter.

There are a lot of related performances on the side of the outer court, and it is also a fact that Yang Lian was injured, if there is no explanation, it will be difficult for him, the emperor, to do it.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor meant that it would be locked up for a year or two, and it would not be too late to let it go until no one remembered it.

This thing is really not easy to handle, unless the bitter master Yang Lian is willing to write a letter of forgiveness...

But this is obviously unrealistic, but you can't lock up the second uncle for a year or two.

Father-in-law Wei is anxious, you must know that the emperor will only be alive for three or four years, which will be delayed for a year or two, and he will miss the most important stage of Zhu Youxiao's life, how can the second uncle be nine thousand years old in the future.

This matter is tricky, and Father-in-law Wei is also in trouble.

At a critical time, Gonggong Jin, who had been immersed in the palace for decades, gave a wise solution, he said: "Your Majesty, it is Li Jinzhong who is guilty of the crime, not Wei Jinzhong's business." ”

"Huh?"

Grandpa Wei's eyes lit up, this is really a solution with a high degree of political wisdom!

Father-in-law Jin is clever, really clever!

Wanli also thinks this method is good, anyway, as long as Li Jinzhong is not released. Moreover, Li Jinzhong committed a crime, but Yang Lian didn't give him face as an emperor, which really made Wanli very angry.

immediately asked Jin Zhong to do this.

Gonggong Wei's heart fell completely, and he was about to go with Jin Zhong to do the second uncle's release from prison, but Wanli stopped him and coughed lightly: "Where's the thing?" ”

"Huh?"

Gonggong Wei was stunned, and immediately reacted, quickly took out the purse, and respectfully placed it on the imperial table of His Majesty the Emperor without looking at it.

Just as he was turning around to leave, Jia Daquan walked in lightly, saying that it was the concubine Niangniang who had sent a message and asked Xiao Wei's father-in-law to go to her after the matter was done.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang?"

Gonggong Wei didn't know whether to go or not, and he didn't know what the concubine called him.

"There you go."

Wanli nodded and coughed lightly: "Where is the concubine, do you know what you can say and what you can't say?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave knows!"

Gonggong Wei reluctantly took his eyes off his purse, and withdrew from Xinuan Pavilion in small steps in pain. After talking to Gonggong Jin outside, someone from the concubine led him over.
