Ma Du is not a lie, this is indeed a condition issued by the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, no wonder they will betray Jin Zilong, a hero of the Southern Dynasty, Jin Zilong jumped up and down in the Southern Dynasty to fight for power and profit, and the Southern Dynasty has long looked at him unpleasantly, anyway, they have already obtained the technology of casting cannons.

Historically, Jin Zilong also died because of this, and it is obvious that the Japanese people also understand the truth that their hearts must be different if they are not of our race. Compared with the Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties, which came empty-handed, did indeed lack sincerity.

Ma Du took the national letter presented to Lao Zhu from the Southern Dynasty and spread it on the table, and said to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "You should be able to see that this is not a fake, my Hongwu Emperor has the best face, and it is not strange at all that my heart is towards the envoys of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Ma Du lied, Lao Zhu is indeed a good face, but he is even more resentful, mentioning that Lao Zhu hated Lao Zhu in the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom.

The northern and southern dynasties of the Wa Kingdom are in the same vein, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu naturally knows the truth of the national book, he can't help but change color when he is young, and he has no idea for a while, he raised his eyes to look at the dark sky outside, "Wait for Hosokawa Matsuyuki to come back, discuss with him below, and definitely show the sincerity that satisfies Daming." ”

Madu smiled and said, "If Ashikaga General feels that he and the Hosokawa clan are grasshoppers on the same rope, it doesn't hurt to consult with him." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Hosokawa are naturally not grasshoppers on the same rope, on the contrary, Hosokawa is the biggest stumbling block to his power, I didn't expect this Hou Ye who was far away in Daming to know?

"Please teach me!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lifted his wide kimono and knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.

"Nagong is a minister, please ask my Ming Emperor to send troops to help you in the Northern Dynasty."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his head and stared at Ma Du with straight eyes, "The labor expedition is not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty at all, why is the Hou Ye obsessed with this." ”

"You're right, it's not good for Da Ming, but it's good for Benhou, why your country is rich in pirates must be very clear to you."

"Naturally, the war between the north and the south, the manor is deserted, the land is nowhere to be found, and the farmers and samurai are displaced and have to go to the sea to plunder, what does this have to do with the Hou Ye?"

"Ben Hou really thinks highly of you, I can't understand this point, and the navy of Ben Hou has nothing to do without pirates." Ma Du gently tapped the table with a Japanese fan, and his voice became very low, "Although my Emperor Ming is wise and powerful, it is a pity that he is very picky...... Thrifty, although there are not many people in the navy, but a lot of money is spent, and now the sea has just been peaceful for a few days, and the emperor is ready to dismantle the navy. ”

"Do you mean that the North and the South will face off for a long time, so that the pirates will not be cut off?"

"Uh-huh!" Ma Du shrugged, "That's what it means, Ben Hou still has a lot of business at sea, and he needs the protection of the navy, and it would be bad if he cut it off." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, this person is really vicious, for his own business at sea, but he wants people from other countries to shed blood as a cover. As for whether Japan will be divided for a long time, it is not something that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will consider.

Ma Du suddenly asked, "What do you think?" Don't you think that I have a great eye for the rugged and barren land of your country, full of volcanoes and earthquakes at any time? ”

"The Ming Dynasty is fertile for thousands of miles, and naturally looks down on the wild land of our country, and when it comes to rich and rich country, it is better to warm and humid the South Sea."

"You're self-aware! When the time comes, with my Ming army as your backing, the royal family and princes of the Northern Dynasty will no longer be a threat to you, and you can be a real general with dignity. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's heart throbbed, "It's just that your country's expedition to Japan, I'm afraid that there will be few people above the court who oppose it, and if the stalemate lasts too long, the army of the Southern Dynasty will hit Kyoto." ”

"Yes, there will definitely be courtiers who oppose it, can't you make some strategies, look at what you say in Chinese, you should know something about Chinese history, haven't you heard of the old things of Ban Chao's envoy to the Western Regions, and the envoys of the Southern Dynasty seem to live next door to you."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu showed a ruthless look in his eyes when he heard this, "Lord Hou is going to kill the envoy of the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Ma Du stared at him with a smile: "Do you think that the Ming Dynasty is a small country in Shanshan and allows the envoys of Fanbang to do mischief?" ”

"Then the Hou Ye means to let the envoys of the Southern Dynasty kill us?"

Ma Du reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right, it's not stupid, Benhou will send someone to help you." ”

The powerful Ming Dynasty is not a small Shanshan country in the Western Regions, the Han people have just picked up the dignity that has been lost for nearly a hundred years, and it is the time to reinvigorate the national prestige with high spirits.

After talking to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Ma Du left Honglu Temple and walked home with Zhang Wuliu. In late autumn, the night was short, and before the street drums sounded, there were no people on the streets, only the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Command Division patrolling back and forth.

I was interrogated several times along the way before I got home, and as soon as I entered the door, the porter of the house came over and said, "A guest came to the house just now, saying that he was looking for you." ”

Madu couldn't help asking, "What person?" ”

He usually lives in the countryside, and there are only a few old servants in the huge mansion in the city who are responsible for guarding and sweeping, and only come to live in the city during the New Year's holidays, and acquaintances will not come to the city to look for him.

"The villain doesn't recognize it, it's a middle-aged man who looks at him as a person in the army, with a big girl."

"Oh, what about people? Driven away? ”

"How can the little ones be so ignorant, please go to the hall to eat, clean the guest room, leave them overnight, and let them go to the countryside to find Hou Yeli tomorrow. Hou Ye hasn't eaten yet, has he? The little one asks the old woman at home to cook a few dishes for you. ”

Madu said goodbye, "Don't bother so much, just burn some sweet potato porridge and make do with it, I'll go meet the guests first." ”

Because there was no one to live, the huge house was pitch black, only the flower hall was brightly lit, and from a distance, I saw a tall man lying on the table munching, and a woman sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Ma Du suddenly stopped his steps and called Zhang Wuliu, who was walking with a lantern in front of him, "I'll go to meet the guests myself, you go to the kitchen and wait for dinner, and bring me the food when you're done." ”

Zhang Wuliu touched his rumbling stomach, "Okay, I'm hungry for a long time, I'll bring it to you when I'm full." ”

Seeing Zhang Wuliu walking away with the lantern, Ma Du walked quickly to the hall, reflexively bolted the door, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Why did you two come to my house, do you want to play me to death!" ”

The tall man glanced up at Madu, buried his head and continued to eat. The maid who was sitting on the chair drinking tea put down the tea bowl in her hand, and a pair of beautiful eyes rolled her eyes, "Dare to let me go in front of everyone, I thought you were bold, but I didn't expect to be scared like this." ”

The woman in front of her is none other than Zhang Minzhu, who was let go by Ma Du at sea, and the man is her personal guard Zhao Chuyi. Even if Ma Du could pinch and figure out the ancient of Jinbogu, he could not have guessed that this woman would come to his house.

He pointed in the direction of the palace, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "No matter how bold I am, I can't help you from being so scared, do you know that less than two miles to the west is the palace, you are trying to kill me......"

Before Ma Du finished speaking, he heard someone knock on the door twice, and his heart suddenly jumped to his throat, and he swallowed the words stiffly, thinking that the school inspector had come to the door.

Zhang Wuliu's voice sounded outside, "Master Hou, the little one is going to bake two sweet potatoes, or I will roast two for you." ”

"Don't eat! Get out of here! Madu roared in annoyance.

"Oh, it's okay not to eat, it's easy to fart if you eat too much at night."

Ma Du's shit was about to come out, so he didn't care whether he farted or not, opened a crack in the door and kicked Zhang Wuliu away, only to feel his heart return to his chest.

He patted the table and said to Zhao Chu, who was eating and drinking: "Don't fucking eat, go to the window and stare at it." ”

"I haven't eaten enough!" Zhao Chuyi muttered dissatisfiedly, but still got up and went to the window, opened a gap and stared out.

Zhang Minzhu said nonchalantly: "It seems that I am not very popular, since the Hou Ye doesn't like me, I will take Zhao Chuyi away!" With that, he pretended to get up and walked out.

"It's already curfew outside, as soon as you go out, you have to be caught by the soldiers and horses commanding the envoys, stay tonight, or talk about it tomorrow."

"Then thank you Master Hou!" Zhang Minzhu bent her knees and was blessed.

Ma Du waved his hand and said, "Don't come to be vain, you took the risk to come all the way to Yingtian, shouldn't you come for a follow-up?" ”
