Hearing Tokugawa Iemitsu's greeting, Shi Fenglai barely squeezed out a smile: "You have a heart." It's just that the years are not forgiving, even if the old man wants to live a few more years, I'm afraid there is no chance. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "Emperor Ming and the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas will bless Mr. Shi and let Mr. Shi's body get better as soon as possible." ”

When Shi Fenglai heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Hao - this kid's head is broken!

It's been so many years since I came to Kyushu Island, and the number of times I have dealt with the Japanese slaves is not small, but what kind of Amaterasu god is the other Japanese slaves who open and close their mouths, or Buddha, where have they paid attention to the Ming Emperor?

Now that this Tokugawa Iemitsu opened his mouth, he first mentioned the Ming Emperor, could it be that this guy's head has been completely broken?

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Fenglai figured out what was going on.

When he came to Kyushu Island, Tokugawa Hidetada was still alive, and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the titular shogunate of the shogunate, was not actually in power, and he also studied from the Ming Dynasty for a while.

It is estimated that during this period of studying in Daming, this guy's brain was completely washed.

As for who washed it, Shi Fenglai didn't care, and Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't care about it here, anyway, it was all done by those guys from Honglu Temple or Guozijian.

However, as long as this guy's brain is washed, it is a good phenomenon, indicating that this Tokugawa Iemitsu still needs to be saved.

If it can be rescued, Shi Fenglai would prefer to rescue Tokugawa Iemitsu, not because this kid has been washed out of his brain, but because Shi Fenglai feels that he can't let Daming start a war on multiple fronts.

After nodding, Shi Fenglai said: "Tokugawa, you are very good, the experience of studying in Kyushu Island and Daming seems to have taught you a lot, and your knowledge is already stronger than many scholars in Daming." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked happy: "Thank you Mr. Shi for your compliment, Tokugawa will definitely work harder!" ”

After smiling reluctantly again, Shi Fenglai continued: "After a while, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will go to Kyushu Island in person, and at that time, the old man is willing to introduce you to you, but whether His Majesty will see you or not is not something that the old man can control." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart was first happy, then sunk, and he hesitated: "Wouldn't it be too presumptuous?" ”

Shen Hao said: "Why did Mr. Tokugawa say this? Mr. Tokugawa once read books with Shi Ge Lao for a period of time, and naturally he can be regarded as half of Shi Ge Lao's protégé, and I Daming are naturally a family, where did you take the liberty of saying it?

It's just that His Majesty sailed all the way from Annam to Kyushu Island, and it was hard to say whether he would like to see Mr. Tokugawa or not.

It's just that it's not just Mr. Shi Ge who will introduce Mr. Tokugawa, but Shen will also try his best to promote this matter, please rest assured that Mr. Tokugawa is. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu was overjoyed and said, "That being the case, thank you Mr. Shi, and thank you Governor Shen!" ”

After another bit of idle talk, Shi Fenglai said: "Ziming will arrange a place to live for Dechuan, the old man is tired, so he will come here first today?" ”

Shen Hao nodded in response, and after leading Tokugawa Iemitsu to settle down, he returned to Shi Fenglai's house again.

At this time, Shi Fenglai still had the appearance of dying just now, although his expression was still not very good, but it was countless times stronger than just now.

Seeing Shen Hao coming in, Shi Fenglai said directly: "Are you all settled?" ”

Shen Hao nodded: "The students are worried that Shi Ge Lao is still waiting for the students, and he rushed back just after settling down Tokugawa Iemitsu, and those people brought by Tokugawa Iemitsu also ordered people to settle them." ”

Shi Fenglai nodded, and after taking a breath, he said: "The matter of introducing the Tokugawa family's glossy saint is not trivial, you still have to inform Jinyiwei's side, and let them find a way to pass on the news first." ”

Shen Hao smiled bitterly: "Old Shi Ge, now that Your Majesty is still at sea, it is simple to give us news, but if we want to give news to Your Majesty, it is extremely difficult!" ”

Shi Fenglai hummed and said: "The old man also knows that it is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, he must let His Majesty have a preparation in his heart, otherwise His Majesty will not be able to control the killing intent in his heart once he sees Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the Wa Kingdom will be in chaos."

Let Jinyiwei think of ideas, it's really not good, so I can only persuade Your Majesty first after His Majesty arrives. ”

Shen Hao also nodded with a little headache.

The time to enter the officialdom is not short, and I have been in contact with Emperor Chongzhen several times, especially when I returned to the Ming Dynasty to report on my work, I reported to Emperor Chongzhen in person about the situation of the Wa Kingdom.

However, no matter what he said about the situation on the side of the Wa Kingdom, Emperor Chongzhen had the intention of wanting to get rid of it quickly, such a big killing intent would only be there when Emperor Chongzhen mentioned Jiannu.

This gave Shen Hao a headache.

Now the Tokugawa family is obviously a little lame by others, although it cannot be said that it is a comprehensive reversal to the Ming Dynasty, but from all aspects, it is no problem for the entire Tokugawa family to say that it is a proper pro-Ming faction.

If Emperor Chongzhen can't help it now and directly kills Tokugawa Iemitsu, then the Wa Kingdom will be in chaos in the future - the chaotic Wa State is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, at least not in the immediate interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty needed the overseers exported by the Wa Kingdom, he also needed to sell the Fushou paste to the Wa Guo and earn back the silver that he had bought the overseers before.

And once the Wa Kingdom is in chaos, will it be able to continue to steadily export and supervise the work?

After discussion, Shen Hao and Shi Fenglai came to the same conclusion - once the Japanese kingdom was in turmoil, those overseers would not be enough.

The reason is simple, because the overseers are men, and the main consumption of war is men, and even when the consumption of men reaches a certain level, women will be forced into battle.

If the Wa Kingdom is in turmoil, it is almost a sure thing that those who have not been sent to be overseers will go to the battlefield, and even those who have been brought to be overseers may be recalled - of course, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to let them come back.

……

Tokugawa Iemitsu arrived on Kyushu Island, Shi Fenglai and Shen Hao planned to introduce the news to Emperor Chongzhen, and finally sent it to Emperor Chongzhen before Emperor Chongzhen arrived on Kyushu Island.

After Emperor Chongzhen read the information in his hand, he motioned to Wang Chengen to hand it over to Li Yan.

After Li Yan also took a rough look, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Li Aiqing has also been on Kyushu Island for a long time, I want to ask you what you think of the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Li Yan pondered and said: "The lord of the Wa Kingdom is also known as a family of all generations, and is regarded as a god by their people.

It's just that the land of the Japanese country is small and densely populated, there are many mountains and little land, and it is not easy for ordinary people to wrap their stomachs, and there are more earthquakes, and the character of the Japanese people is really not easy to say. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly and said: "You just said that there are no Japanese people on this ship, will anyone leak the news to the Japanese people?" ”

Li Yan bowed and said: "Maybe it's because the land is small and lonely overseas, Weichen always feels that the Japanese people are full of a small family, and they always seem to be worried that they will sink into the sea, so the Japanese people have a sick thirst for land, just like the Renchen rebellion in the Wanli period."

In addition, it seems that there is something wrong with the mentality of these Japanese slaves, it is very easy to drill the tip of the horns, and the sword is biased, and there is something strange everywhere?

The minister thought that Korea and Ryukyu were too close to the Japanese Kingdom, and if they did not plan early, they were afraid that the Japanese people would provoke the Korean battlefield again. ”

Lai Zongdao scolded: "Governor Li is cautious! North Korea has become the land of our Ming Dynasty, and the North Sea Fleet is stationed in North Korea. ”

Li Yan, who was scolded by Lai Zongdao, was not angry at all, but smiled and arched his hand: "The old man who came to the pavilion is reasonable, and the lower officials are just worried that the Japanese slaves will take risks." ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and stopped the discussion below.

When it comes to understanding the Wa Kingdom, it is estimated that only Emperor Chongzhen knows what the Wa Kingdom is - it is a magical existence that all the people like to bet on the fortune of the country!

In fact, the Wa Kingdom has already lost two bets.

The first time was the Battle of Baekjiangkou, Su Dingfang took Liu Renyuan, Liu Renshi, Liu Renliang, Du Shuang and other double-flowered red sticks to put the coalition forces formed by Japan and Baekje into various poses, and then pressed them on the ground and rubbed them wildly.

The second time was that Toyotomi Hidetomi sent troops to expedition to Korea, and he was also pressed to the ground and rubbed by the double-flowered red sticks of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the goal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops in North Korea was actually aimed at Daming, and the initial plan was to kill North Korea and then attack Daming, but he didn't think that he would be killed.

Later, there was the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle...... From the point of view of the whole of Japan, the First Sino-Japanese War was basically a game that must be gambled on "opening up thousands of miles of waves and spreading the power of the country in all directions."

Unlike previous wars, this time, Japan won the bet.

These three wars all have a common feature, that is, the landing sites are all North Korea - you can reach Korea from Japan with a bath, and this geographical location is really too pitiful.

Now that North Korea has returned to the Ming Dynasty and has become the political envoy of North Korea, with such a neighbor who is good at gambling on national fortune by his side, how can Emperor Chongzhen not be worried?

Even if you don't mention Emperor Chongzhen's own hatred for the Wa Kingdom, just the sentence "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore", it was enough to make Emperor Chongzhen make up his mind to kill the Wa Kingdom.

It's just that what Shi Fenglai and Shen Hao said in the recital also makes sense, and it is not very in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty to make a big mess in the Wa State now, and you have to endure it if you are angry, at least wait until the railway is almost repaired before engaging in the Wa Kingdom.

It's just that the more he thinks about it for a while, the more angry he becomes, and the more he takes a step back, the more he loses, and Emperor Chongzhen wants to lift the table again, until he takes a few deep breaths, and then he slowly calms down.

There is no way, now we still have to use these Japanese slaves as overseers - let these Japanese slaves do a good job of offending people, and there is no need for blood on the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty, let alone this kind of blood that loses their conscience.

After glancing at the ministers in the cabin, Emperor Chongzhen said slowly: "I, endure today's breath, don't make any moves in the Wa Kingdom, but you also give me a good thought, what to do in the future!"

I put my words here, as long as my Ming railroad is completed, and I don't need those Japanese slaves to be overseers, I will make it impossible for the whole country to have even a single grass left! ”

As soon as the inexplicable anger was over, Emperor Chongzhen left the cabin that was used for deliberations and went back to his room to rest, leaving a bunch of bigwigs staring at him.

Zhu Chunchen smiled and pulled Zhang Zhiji, and said with a smile: "The British duke will go back to the cabin with the old man to discuss it." ”

Lai Zongdao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left-these vulgar martial artists know how to kill people and make military achievements! Don't you know, after you have killed people, you still want me to wait for the civil officials to come and worry about the next thing?

Immigration, election of officials, governance, what can you martial artists play? His mother!

……

When Emperor Chongzhen really arrived on Kyushu Island, the time had slowly come to the end of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and in the first half of the month, it was estimated that it would be the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

After arriving at the port through the pedal, Emperor Chongzhen first glanced around the dock.

Shen Hao saw Emperor Chongzhen get off the boat, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Minister, Shen Hao, the governor of Kyushu Island, has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and then said directly: "How is Shi Aiqing's body?" Is it getting better? ”

Shen Hao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, Shi Ge Lao's spirit has already improved, and he is clamoring to come to the dock to greet Your Majesty." It's just that Weichen was worried about Shi Ge Lao's body, so he didn't dare to let him come with him. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, it's right if you don't come, even if you tie him up, you can't let him run to the dock to fill the wind anymore." ”

After taking a few steps forward, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered: "Change to a fast horse, I want to see Shi Aiqing earlier." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage arrived at the Governor's Mansion on Kyushu Island, as soon as they entered the house, a wave of heat rushed to their faces, and there was no cold in winter, but some sweaty heat.

After Emperor Chongzhen was around the heat for a while, he said curiously: "Why is it so hot in this room?" But burned the earth fire dragon? ”

Shen Hao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is what the craftsmen have figured out, it is not the earth fire dragon, but the iron pipe is coiled in the ground, and there is water in the iron pipe, and after it is heated, the inside of this house is much warmer." ”

After arriving at the room where Shi Fenglai was, Emperor Chongzhen had not pushed the door open, but heard Shi Fenglai shouting inside: "Wait...... Wait for the boldness! ”

Another voice inside clearly revealed helplessness: "My grandfather! Your old man spared the little one! Governor Shen said, if the little ones let you out of the house, they will beat the villain to death, you are always good, just pity the poor villain! ”

Zhu Hu, who was next to Emperor Chongzhen, said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Elder Shi Ge has been making a lot of trouble for a while, and he has been clamoring to go to the port to greet the holy driver. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he laughed loudly and then pushed the door open directly, and said with a smile: "What kind of tantrum is Shi Aiqing doing?" ”
