Lao Zhu took out a map and threw it on the dragon case, took a Zhu pen and handed it to Ma Du, "Mark the silver mine for me!" ”

Ma Du reluctantly took the brush, dotted it not far from the sea, and wrote three small characters, "Iwami Mountain". The silver mine he is talking about is the famous Iwamiyama silver mine in Japan, no, the world-famous Iwamiyama silver mine.

Located in Shimane Prefecture in Japan's Yama**, this silver mine was discovered in the 16th century and has been mined for 400 years, accounting for one-third of the world's silver production at its peak.

The Iwamiyama silver mine, which is rich in reserves, was also a focal point of conflict during the Warring States period, and the princes and daimyo near the silver mine were beaten to the brink and finally fell into the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The Iwamiyama silver mine has always supported the trade of the Japanese state, and the silk porcelain obtained from China and the firearms obtained from Spain, which made the Japanese kingdom strong for a time, and even made Toyotomi Hideyoshi have the arrogant idea of fighting from Korea to India, of course, he did not measure his own strength, and finally collapsed in the Liangming Strait.

"Is there a lot of silver here?" This is what Lao Zhu is most concerned about, and there are a lot of silver mines in the Ming Dynasty, if the reserves are small, it is not worth his blood to send troops to the country.

"There should be a lot, grandpa and I passed through here by plane, and went around the ground three times before grandpa said that there is a silver mine here, and the quality reserves will not be too bad in the eyes of grandpa."

Lao Zhu smiled when he heard this, "I naturally know the magical means of the old layman to look at the mountains and rivers, just like the quantity and quality of Taiping iron ore, but unfortunately you don't know anything like this, and you still eat the old book left by his old man." ”

Lao Zhu made it clear that he didn't like his brother-in-law who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but he got a big silver mine, he was naturally happy in his heart, and slapped the table, "This matter is accurate, but going to the country is a big deal, and you have to go to the court, if the ministers oppose you and Wen Ying, you can't be a stuffy gourd." ”

Sending troops to rob the silver mines is naturally not good to say clearly in the court, even if the courtiers know about it, they may not support it, especially those civil servants will definitely shout "soldiers, murder weapons, saints have to use them", and then jump out to oppose it.

Ma Du said with a smile: "Weichen has a plan, which can make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military support the emperor to send troops to the Wa Kingdom." ”

"If you have any bad ideas, I'll give you a detailed review!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yoshiko Noda spit the milky white liquid in her mouth into the spittoon, and didn't bother to clean her mouth, so she took a clean towel, knelt on the ground and reached out to gently wipe it between Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's crotch.

The men she served were not one or two, and the Japanese were generally relatively short, but this general had such a majestic thing at a young age, and it was estimated to be four inches and two minutes (14 centimeters) by visual inspection, which was really a very person.

After she wiped it clean, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu casually put on his pants and asked, "What are Hosokawa Matsuyuki busy with these days?" ”

Yoshiko Noda put down the towel in his hand and replied respectfully: "Hosokawa Matsuyuki is still running around in the mansions of the magnates of the Ming Kingdom with generous gifts. ”

This time the envoy of the Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty was not actually the will of the emperor, nor was it the master of the shogunate Yoshimitsu Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but the shogunate in charge of the army Hosokawa Yoriyuki, the real ruler of the Northern Dynasty now, Hosokawa Matsuyuki as the envoy is his brother.

In a sense, Hosokawa Matsuyuki is also an enemy of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, he has been looking at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu very closely, and the last time he was able to go to Fangshan was he stalked and followed.

When Ma Du proposed that the Ming Dynasty send troops to the Northern Dynasty to help the war, he knew that he could get the help of the Ming Dynasty as long as he agreed, but he subconsciously refused, and he didn't know why he always felt that there was a deep malice hidden behind that smiling face.

Now he regrets it a little, the envoys of the Southern Dynasty also went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, if they are allowed to become, the Northern Dynasty will be in danger. If the skin does not have hair, everyone else can surrender, but he can't do it with the Ashikaga clan, and the descendants of Emperor Go-Daigo will not spare him.

"Has Hosokawa Matsuyuki made any progress?"

Noda Karyoko said: "There is still progress, since Fang Shan came back, Hosokawa Matsuyuki has finally been able to enter those noble doors, but they have received gifts but never promised." However, Hosokawa Matsuyuki also met several envoys from the Southern Dynasty, and they were also actively running, probably wanting to meet the great emperor as soon as possible. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiman snorted in his nostrils, "Hosokawa Matsuyuki is purely in vain, the promises of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty are useless, what is the use of those noble words, it is really not good, this general has to secretly go to Fangshan." ”

Noda Karyoko looked up and asked, "Your Highness has seen Prince Daming?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said coldly: "This is not what you should ask, the hour is not early, Hosokawa Matsuyuki should come back, you hurry back and don't be discovered by him." ”

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is young, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise it is impossible to seize power and unify Japan in the future, and this Noda Yoshirako is the spy he planted next to Hosokawa Matsuyuki.

Yoshirako Noda got up slowly, and on the side of the corridor door just now, she heard Shinemon outside the house whispering, "Who is it!" Don't come here! ”

Noda Yoshirako hurriedly turned his head and pushed open the back window, jumped out of the body, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu closed the window, opened the door and saw that his personal samurai Shinemon was coming from the courtyard gate with a person, isn't it that he saw the Jiang Ninghou a few days ago, and his heart couldn't help but be happy, and he went down the steps to greet him from afar.

Ma Du said: "This is not the place to talk, and then talk about it when you enter the house. ”

As soon as he entered the room, Mado smelled an obscene atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Ashikaga General is really interested." ”

Started playing with women at a young age and was really a pervert, and it was rumored in later generations that he took the Empress Palace for himself, and the Japanese royal family after Muromachi was his bloodline, and eighty percent of it was true.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, he only said: "It's really boring to be trapped in Honglu Temple, just call a maid for entertainment." I have long heard that the white flowers on the Qinhuai River are beautiful, and I don't know if the Hou Ye is willing to go together. ”

Ma Du found a chair and sat directly, and sneered: "Oh, Ashikaga General is really good Yaxing, and he still wants to visit the Qinhuai River when he is dying." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, "What does Master Hou mean by this!" ”

"Oh, you don't know yet, I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, have decided to summon the envoys of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

Madu asked rhetorically, "Why is it impossible?" ”

"The pirates of the Southern Dynasty burned and looted along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and also colluded with the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Kingdom should have the same hatred for the Southern Dynasty, how could they summon them first."

"You're really clean, as if you don't have pirates involved in the Northern Dynasty." Ma Du casually picked up the fan on the coffee table and fiddled with it, "The Southern Dynasty is much more sincere than you, in addition to paying the New Year's coin, it also sent a lot of pirates who did evil in Daming, and was even willing to hand over Jin Zilong to Daming for disposal." ”
