"It's a good sentence, 'It's easy to go to foreign countries, but it's hard to go to China.'" It's easy to go to China, but it's hard to go to China's clothes." ”

Zhu Kun was silent for a moment, and muttered in his mouth.

Although Zhu Kun was very reluctant to believe it, judging from the current situation and Xu Yan's analysis, it is likely that it is these Fujian and Zhejiang seamen who are sowing discord and demagoguing the Japanese envoys to assassinate.

Zhu Kun only felt that his heart was being stabbed by countless needles, and it was stinging.

The soldiers fought bloodily on the front line with the pirates in order to stabilize the coastal defense, but these Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants stabbed them in the back.

It's chilling!

"In the opinion of the time, what should this official do now?"

At this time, Zhu Kun felt very confused and couldn't find the direction for a while.

"In the humble opinion of late life, the lord of the ministry might as well simmer slowly."

Xu Yan said without hesitation.

Although these Fujian, Zhejiang and maritime merchants deserve to die, it is not possible to completely eradicate this stubborn disease in one or two days.

Zhu Kun was so anxious that he was strongly resisted by the interests of Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants.

"I wonder if you've heard of boiling frogs in warm water?"

Xu Yan continued.

Zhu Su shook his head.

"If you throw a frog directly into a pot of boiling water, it will most likely jump out. But if you put it in a pot of cold water and heat it slowly, it will easily feel the change. As the water temperature gets warmer and higher, the changes felt by the frogs are becoming more and more noticeable. By the time it realizes that something is wrong, it is too late to jump out. ”

Xu Yan's words are extremely vivid, how could Zhu Yan not understand?

"Does it mean that these Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants are the frogs in the pot? Should I heat it slowly with a simmer? ”

"Yes!"

Xu Yan nodded.

He has always believed that Zhu Kun's problem is not in ability, but in personality.

It is saved.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years."

Zhu Kun sighed.

Xu Yan hurriedly said: "The Lord of the Ministry is serious, and the late student is just talking casually..."

"There must be my teacher in the threesome, and it is not an unspeakable thing to have opinions from time to time above this official."

Zhu Su said with a smile: "Your words can be regarded as completely waking up the official. ”

"Then, according to the view of the time, what should this official do next?"

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Actually, in the final analysis, this matter depends on His Majesty's attitude. If His Majesty has the heart to completely rectify the southeast, then these maritime merchants are all paper tigers. If His Majesty's mind changes, no matter how hard the ministers try, it will be in vain. ”

Zhu Kun didn't know this truth.

"This official has already written to the Son of Heaven on the matter of the Japanese envoy arriving in Ning, and it is estimated that it will not be long before His Majesty will make a decree."

In fact, Zhu Kun himself couldn't tell what Emperor Jiajing was thinking.

The mind of this great tomorrow is the most unpredictable.

"That being the case, the ministry only needs to wait for now. The assassination could be pursued, but it was best to do it secretly. ”

Xu Yan felt that if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three.

This time, the Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants tried to kill people with knives, and they will definitely not give up, and they will do it again after a while.

"During this time, the lord of the ministry should still be careful, don't be taken advantage of by traitors."

"Rest assured, this official will not fall until these traitors are uprooted."

Zhu Kun smiled and said, "If they want to fight their own officials, they will accompany them to the end." ”

Xu Yan was finally a little relieved when he heard this. As long as Zhu Kun's strategy changed, then he was confident that this famous anti-Japanese marshal would continue to sit in the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

...

...

"What? Failed assassination? ”

Liu Jingqi, the head of the Liu family, was disappointed when he got the news.

This Zhu Kun, who killed a thousand knives, ordered the port to be blocked after breaking through Shuangyu.

The Liu family has been doing business all year round, mainly dealing in raw silk, silk and other cotton textiles.

These things were very popular in Japan, and the Liu family cooperated with Xu Dong and other Haikou to sell goods to Japan to make huge profits.

One trip to win several times the breath.

They all trade in Shuangyu Port. Now that the port of Shuangyu has been destroyed, the connection between the Liu family and Xu Dong has also been broken.

At least for a short time, it will be impossible to go to sea again. The losses during this period are incalculable.

"Old horseman, old man will take your life sooner or later!"

...

...

Xu Yan returned home and thought about how he could help Zhu Kun.

As he said to Zhu Kun, the root of this matter lies in Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing's attitude directly determined the support that Zhu Kun received.

Judging from historical data, Emperor Jiajing really wanted to rectify coastal defense and pacify the troubles.

But the effect was not good at first, Xu Yan felt that it was because Emperor Jiajing did not recognize the essence of the plague, thinking that it was the Japanese ronin who plundered the coast.

Therefore, the top priority is to let Emperor Jiajing understand the truth about the troubles in Fujian and Zhejiang.

Emperor Jiajing is a conceited and intelligent person, and he may not fully believe in the performance of ordinary courtiers.

Therefore, it is impossible to rely on Zhu Kun to "wake up" Emperor Jiajing.

This great genius likes the results he deduces the most, and thinks that this is the most credible.

It was Xu Yan who decided to do what he liked, and wrote a story for him to taste slowly.

Now that he had thought about it, Xu Yan dipped his pen in ink and began to write.

"When the boat came, I gradually went out of the sea and saw the silver waves rolling snow, and the snow waves turning silver. The turbulence is like the sun and the moon, and the waves are like the stars.

For three or five days, I drifted away with the wind, and I didn't realize how much distance I had passed.

Suddenly, I came to a place, looking in the boat, people gathered, the city was majestic, and I knew what the capital had arrived.

The boatman propped the boat into the small harbor sheltered from the wind and waves, nailed the pile, lowered the iron anchor, and the cable was ready.

Many people in the boat went ashore. Take a look, Yuanlai is the place where he has been, and his name is Ji Lingguo.

Yuan comes here and Chinese goods get there, and if you get it there, you will have three times the price if you double it. The same is true for the goods that are exchanged over there and brought to China.

One time and one back, it is inconvenient to have eight or nine times the interest, so people are struggling to take this road.

Most of the people have done transactions, and they have familiar brokers, families, and generals, etc., and they have gone ashore to find the goods. ”

Although it is only a short paragraph, it vividly describes the benefits of smuggling to Japan, and also shows from the side that the Japanese are not only real Japanese but also fake Japanese people. And this fake widow is an armed force raised by Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants, and the most unfortunate is a cooperative relationship between the two.

Xu Yan wrote a chapter and wrote a poem at the end.

The poem says:

The Japanese array is not noisy, and they are oblique.

The sound of snails and butterflies, and the fish run through the long snake.

The fan is scattered and there is no shadow, and the knife comes to a flower.

It is also a mixture of truth and falsehood, and it disturbs China.

He naturally planned to print this article, but he would not be branded with the name of the Xu family's bookstore, and even the use of paper and ink would deliberately distinguish it from the Xu family.

To put it bluntly, he didn't plan to sell it, but to win public opinion support for Zhu Kun.
