Although the case of King Chu has been concluded, for those who know the inside story, the matter is far from over, because there are still two gangs involved in the case that have not been punished as they should be, that is, Warat and Wa Guo.

It's just that as for how to deal with the two of them, Zhu Yunwen and even the Ming court feel very tricky.

After Zhu Yunwen became the prince, he began to manage the south and northeast, and moved the northwest defense line north to the Yinshan line through the construction of Suiyuan City, plus the three cities of Datong, Kaiping and Daning, firmly controlled the Monan grassland; In addition, through the naturalization of the Jurchens and the rebellion against Korea, the territory south of the Songhua River was pocketed, and then in order to block the passage of the Monan grassland to the northeast, the veteran Guo Ying was sent to build Tongliao City, and finally added the stronghold established in the upper reaches of the river, that is, the hometown of Duoyan Sanwei, and initially stabilized the northeast.

But the Ming Dynasty's rule over Mo Nan and the Northeast is very fragile, on the surface, the Jurchens have been naturalized, but in reality, sporadic rebellions are still emerging, far from the real return; And the herdsmen of the Monan grassland are even more so, they still hope that the golden family in Mobei can fight back, when they heard that Harguchuk and Erlebok were captured and sent to the capital, the Monan grassland was full of sorrow, these are very dangerous signals.

Therefore, once the Ming Dynasty has a slight decline in the south and northeast, then the situation will immediately flip around.

Of course, the best way to solve this problem is to completely defeat Warat and control Mobei and even Moxi, but at present, it is not realistic.

Since Zhu Yunwen came to power, he has attacked Mobei twice, once for King Ning and Fu Youde, once for Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou, if the former is not for Geng Xuan's achievements in Mobei and the success of Suiyuan City, it would have been a fiasco, Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, was killed in battle, and the soldiers lost more than 60,000 people; Although the latter achieved its goal, hit the Golden Family hard, and captured Erleboke, but did not dare to gain a foothold in Mobei, and could only flee back to the Great Wall in a hurry, so that Mobei fell into the hands of Ugqi, Xu Huizu's 20,000 troops returned to the Great Wall only more than 12,000 people, and the rest were buried in the vast desert and grassland.

In this case, Zhu Yunwen did not dare to send troops to attack Mobei, Zhu Yunwen knew that he was not Zhu Yuanzhang, and he did not have the earth-shattering military talent of Emperor Hongwu, so he could remotely command Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Mu Ying in the Beijing Division to expedition to Mobei; He is not Zhu Di himself, he can personally lead hundreds of thousands of troops to chase the dead and chase the north on the grassland. Although Zhu Yunwen pays great attention to exercising and can gallop on horseback, compared with Zhu Di, it is not an order of magnitude level at all.

Although Zhu Yunwen killed Zhu Di with the advantage of artillery and numbers, it is also an indisputable fact that the combat power of the Ming army has declined, which is due to some of the reasons why Emperor Hongwu killed heroes, but even if they survive, they can no longer go to the battlefield now, and among their heirs, there are only a few people who can be used, such as Xu Huizu, Chang Sheng, Qu Neng, etc. And Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Li Yuan, Wang Zhong and others were all promoted in the line of fire, and crossed the Great Wall to fight on the grassland, Zhu Yunwen had no bottom in his heart.

Moreover, the Mobei campaign could only rely on cavalry, but Zhu Yunwen could only rely on four cavalry corps, but in addition to the earliest formation of the third and fifth cavalry armies, which were full of 20,000 people, the eighth and ninth cavalry armies formed later only had more than 10,000 people, far from being replenished. These cavalry can be said to be Zhu Yunwen's baby bumps, if they are all buried in the grassland, Zhu Yunwen can only wait for at least another five to ten years, and may even give up completely going north.

Therefore, in Zhu Yunwen's view, the best way is to hold Monan and open up the northeast at the same time, but it will take time, and during this time, it is very necessary to maintain a good relationship with Warat.

Moreover, the conquest of Mobei is very uneconomical from the economic point of view, with large input and small output, and may even be a by-output.

So when he learned that Wara was involved in the rebellion of the king of Chu, Zhu Yunwen handled it very carefully, first tortured the subordinates of the king of Chu, and finally obtained confirmation from the king of Chu's henchman Cheng Wuji and his righteous son Song Tianyuan that there was indeed a messenger named Siqin Duri who visited the king of Chu, and the rebel general Luo Haichao also confirmed that Siqin Duri was ordered by him to sink into the river, but unfortunately the soldiers at the scene were executed by Luo Haichao for various reasons, and the circumstantial evidence has not been found.

Then Zhu Yunwen sent someone to ask Erbok and Kharguchuk, Kharguchuk did not know about this matter because he was captured too early, and Erebuk said that he did not know about it at all, thinking that it was probably Ugqi's own assertion, for this answer, Zhu Yunwen was a little disappointed and a little helpless.

And the envoy of Warat, Arslen, resolutely denied that Warat had sent an envoy to provoke the King of Chu to rebel, saying that this was a slander of the villain, insisting that Warat and the Ming Dynasty had no grievances, and that there was a grudge against the golden family, so Warat would not do this kind of thing that was painful for relatives and quick for enemies, and in the face of the excited and abnormal Arslen, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had no evidence at hand could only say that it was a misunderstanding, so Zhu Yunwen still focused on appeasing Warat, and agreed to their request for mutual markets, thanking them for their early warning of Timur's possible eastward invasion. There was also no mention of Ugqi's submission, because he knew that it was simply impossible.

Soon after this incident, Erleboke wrote to become a monk and practice Buddhism, Zhu Yunwen naturally agreed after hearing this, and personally came forward to ask the monk Daocheng to accept him as a disciple, Daocheng hesitated again and again before finally agreeing, and took the Dharma name "Juekong" for Erleboke, and the guard Hu Qitu took care of Erleboke, and also became a monk, and the Dharma name "Jueyuan".

On the second day of the first month of March, Daocheng traveled north, accompanied by Juekong, and Kharguchuk chased him to the river after learning about it, and said goodbye to his brother with tears......

On the same day, the envoy of Warat, Arslen, asked Zhu Yunwen to resign and go north and return to the grassland, and Zhu Yunwen sent Wang Gen, a scholar of Hanlin, to accompany him all the way and send him out of the border pass.

To a certain extent, even if Zhu Yunwen now orders to go to Mobei, his generals will fight bravely, Ping'an, Qu Neng, Qu Tao, Geng Xuan, Song Xuan and others are all fierce generals who can fight well, because the expedition to Mobei has happened many times in the past dynasties, Han Zhi Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Dou Xian, Tang Zhi Li Jing, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Xu Da of this dynasty, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and others are among the best, so the generals are also gearing up, hoping that they can also be among them.

As for the Wakoku, it is a completely different concept, because the Wakoku has not yet been conquered by outsiders, which makes the Wakoku people very proud.

There were two wars between China and the Wa Kingdom, the first was the naval battle between the two sides at the mouth of the Baijiang River when the Tang Dynasty pacified Goryeo, which ended in a crushing defeat for the Wa State, in order to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, the Wa State integrated the national strength at the same time, and established fortifications on the northwest coast to defend against the landing of the Tang army, but fortunately, the Tang Army did not intend to invade Japan; The second time was the attack on the Japanese during the Yuan Shizu period, and this attack was divided into two times, both of which ended in failure.

The disastrous defeat at the mouth of the Baijiang River sent a large number of envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn the culture and political system of the Tang Dynasty; Defeating the Yuan army's attack made the Wa Kingdom realize its own strength, and its sophisticated katana played a huge role in the battle, and in hand-to-hand combat, the Mongol samurai were no match for the Wa samurai, let alone the Han army at that time.

Based on various considerations, even if the Wa State was involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion case, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, still set it as a country that would not be conquered, but unfortunately this was of no use except to fuel the arrogance of the Wa State.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang established a huge naval division and coastal guards, the raids of the Japanese have not been eradicated, and it is not of much use to send an envoy to Xiaoyu and the Japanese state.

After Zhu Yunwen opened the sea, he eliminated the sailors and vigorously eliminated the Japanese and achieved certain results. However, after the naval battle of Jeju Island and the crushing defeat of the Japanese and Korean coalition forces, the Japanese invaders began to run rampant again.

In order to punish the Wa State, Zhu Yunwen proposed that the Wa State compensate five million taels of silver and cede the Iwami Silver Mountain, perhaps this condition angered the Wa people, and the Wa people chose to support the King of Chu to plot rebellion, and attacked the holy car with Li Jinglong in Liuhe Mountain, which made the Ming court angry, and asked Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to go to Beijing to receive the guilt, and at the same time compensate 10 million taels of silver and cede the conditions of Kyushu, but after the Japanese envoy returned to China, there was no news, and some only the Japanese raids became more frequent.

On the question of how to deal with the Wa State, the courtiers were divided into two factions, one faction thought that they should follow the old Hongwu system, eliminate the Wa Kou, and at the same time refuse the Wa State to come to pay tribute, which was essentially equivalent to prohibiting trade with the Wa State; The other faction believes that the crimes committed by the Japanese are unforgivable, and in terms of the severity of the problem, the crimes committed by the Japanese are much more serious than those committed by the DPRK, and they must not be punished, otherwise where is the majesty of the Celestial Empire?

The reason why they are divided into two factions is because everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and when the war with North Korea began, there were not many people who opposed it, because everyone knew that the chances of winning were very large, and the possibility of losing was very small. However, the conquest of the Japanese kingdom is another matter, there are too many uncertain factors in the cross-sea expedition, if there is another "kamikaze" at the critical moment, reinforcements and supplies cannot be sent, I am afraid that the mistakes of Kublai Khan will be repeated!

However, in Zhu Yunwen's view, it is somewhat difficult to completely conquer the Wa Kingdom, but if you only occupy Kyushu Island, you should still have a certain degree of certainty, and Zhu Yunwen's goal is very simple, that is, Iwami Silver Mountain.

Zhu Yunwen needs silver, a lot of silver, because the development of the economy must need the same or more monetary support, otherwise it will fall into deflation, and this has become more and more obvious after six years of Jianwen......
