Lao Zhu pursed his lips, obviously not believing that Ma Du had such noble sentiments, "You seem to know a lot about the Japanese Invaders, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces can't guess that the Wolves have such a big courage, you can actually guess it, it shouldn't be a random guess." ”

Madu stretched out two fingers and pinched, "I just know a little bit!" ”

This is not modest, what can be remembered by the people of the country is the tragic history of modern times, and those who are a little farther away only know a little bit of the skin, but now the Ming Dynasty knows less than him, and when it comes to foreign countries, they care more about whether these barbarians come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.

Lao Zhu said impatiently: "Then hurry up!" ”

Ma Du took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a map of the surrounding Ming Dynasty, and the emperor will know that the island where the Wa Kingdom lives is not a small island, it is much larger than Goryeo." ”

He rummaged through the encyclopedia and finally found a more detailed map of East Asia, which he finally traced. The map was huge, and Yuan Sheng stretched out his arms before he could spread it.

"Well, the country is really not small! It can be worth the land of two provinces. Lao Zhu beckoned Chang Yuchun, Liu Ji and others to come over and watch, looked at Ma Du and said, "Xuanzhong, you didn't paint this, right?" ”

"It was my grandfather who surveyed and mapped it in the past, and it has been hanging at home, and I was impressed by watching it every day, so I drew it from memory." Ma Du knew that his name was not good, so he simply pushed it to the unwarranted grandfather.

Lao Zhu nodded, "Then I can use it with confidence." ”

Liu Ji praised: "Good map, the ditches and bumps on the long coastline are clearly drawn, it is really a fine work!" ”

Lao Zhu said with a smile: "The old monk has been looking for a way back to his hometown all his life, and there are gods such as airplanes, and the natural accuracy of the painting is seen in the sky." If you have something good, you will hide it, so why don't you offer it sooner. ”

Maps were very precious in ancient times, and marching and fighting were indispensable for the management of people's livelihoods, and accurate maps like this were treasures for an emperor who worked hard.

After offering the baby and complaining, Ma Du felt very wronged, but fortunately, Chang Yuchun helped him speak, "Your Majesty, Xuanzhong should be credited with this picture!" ”

"Hmmm! Count him to credit. Lao Zhu nodded and said to Ma Du: "Tell me what you know about the situation of the Japanese Invaders." ”

Ma Du cleared his throat and said: "The Japanese country is adrift on the ocean on all sides, there are many volcanoes, there are many mountains in the country, and the land is barren. When the land was insufficient, the famous lords who were close to the sea, that is, the landlords, took the farmers of Zhuangding to the sea to plunder, and at first their scale was not large, and the scope of their activities was relatively small, and it was Goryeo that suffered the most......

However, during the Zheng period, the north and south of the Wa Kingdom were divided, and the princes divided their territories and attacked each other. Some of the landlords of the Southern Dynasty who were defeated in the war organized samurai, merchants and ronins to join the Japanese invaders, and the momentum of the Japanese invaders grew, and the plundering land also expanded, from Goryeo to Mengyuan. ”

Liu Ji stroked his beard and said: "It turns out that there were more and more Japanese in the last years of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and this is the reason, Xuan Zhong knows so clearly, has he been to the Japanese country?" ”

"No, listen to what grandpa said, he has been to the old man's house!"

"Since it's the old layman who said it, that's right!" Liu Ji arched his hand at Lao Zhu Gong and said, "Weichen thinks that the emperor has sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom to rebuke the Wa Emperor, and ordered him to restrain his subjects and not to come to my Ming Dynasty to plunder again." ”

Wang Guangyang also said: "I was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in recent years, I first conquered Mingxia, and now I have conquered Yunnan, and it is not beneficial to start a war again, not to mention that across the vast sea, it is impossible to kill and resist." Brother Berwyn's proposal is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and Weichen seconded it! ”

Without waiting for Lao Zhu to reply, Ma Du couldn't help laughing, "Don't joke with the two of you, how big are the Japanese from the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, but they are weak now and it is difficult to protect themselves, if they can restrain those Japanese Emperors, they would have taken them to fight with the Northern Dynasty a long time ago." Besides, the Japanese emperor is like a puppet, and if you want to find it, you have to find the shogun......"

Lao Zhu slapped the table and interrupted Ma Du's words, and said angrily: "This shogun actually holds the lord hostage, it's really a big rebellion!" ”

His mood was understandable, but Lao Zhu was obviously misunderstood, and he explained: "Since the Kamakura shogunate period two hundred years ago, the Japanese emperor has been a puppet, and their country is like this. Ma Du pulled the fur he knew to Lao Zhu.

"Didn't the shogun usurp the throne?"

"They don't dare, there are restrictions from the princes in various places, and the shogunate is at most abolishing the establishment. Grandpa said that the imperial power of the Japanese Kingdom is not strong, and the country will only become more and more turbulent, and there will be more and more defeated samurai and ronins to join the ranks of the Japanese Invaders, and it is my Ming people who will suffer! ”

After a short period of unification, Japan entered the Warring States Period, as Ma Du said, the army of the Japanese was unprecedentedly strong, coupled with the Chinese pirates, the Ming Sea was full of holes, and the southeast rivers and mountains were eroded, almost to an uncontrollable situation.

"Huh...... This emperor is a bit like Zhou Tianzi! Lao Zhu said with a smile: "I can naturally trust what the old monk said, you Aiqing, what do you think this trouble should be handled." ”

Without waiting for others to speak, Ma Du hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just said that he is willing to be the prime minister to suppress the widows, and I also ask the emperor for permission!" ”

"I always think you have other intentions, tell me, what good ideas do you have!"

Ma Du gritted his teeth and said: "Prepare to build a navy and kill the Japanese invaders!" ”

Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "Xuan Zhong looks at you like this, it seems that you have a grudge against the Japanese Kou, did they really not rob your goods?" ”

"Nope! I'm completely out of the same mind! ”

Liao Yongan, who had never spoken, said: "If the emperor is preparing to build a navy, the remnants of Weichen can still be used!" ”

Ma Du wanted to scold, but he didn't expect to kill a robber halfway, "Yunguo Gongshui is a sailor, and the navy is a navy, which is not the same thing at all." Interlacing is like a mountain, you still don't want to get involved, if you are willing to be a tactical staff officer, you can still do. ”

Liao Yongan said disdainfully: "Aren't they all fighting on ships?" What's the difference, I don't know it, you know! ”

Lao Zhu also gave Liao Yongan a help, "That is, do you know how to fight at sea." ”

"Weichen doesn't understand, but he has already cultivated two thousand good hands who can sail on the sea, the emperor forgot, the two thousand people were still recruited by you for Weichen!"

When Ma Du first started to partner with Shen Wansan in the sea trade business, he suggested to Lao Zhu to form a maritime patrol team, and Lao Zhu recruited 2,000 children from well-known families for him.

These people have always followed Shen Wansan's ship, and they have long been good at navigating ships, and now is the time to use them.

Lao Zhu glared and asked, "It seems that you really have a grudge against the Japanese Kou, and you don't even make any money!" ”

"Weichen is really out of a public heart, as for the silver, a few less boats and less money!"

Lao Zhu spread his hands and said, "But I don't have the money to build any more navy." ”
