So after Ruan Shu's First Fleet leveled several ports and county towns along the coast of Japan, angering countless daimyo generals, Qian Bingrup took his diplomatic delegation to Hong Chengchou's palace in the Ryukyu Kingdom to meet Hong Chengchou.

In the face of this kind of visit, the attitude of the scheming Hong Chengchou and Feng Quan was to delay, and they had not seen Qian Bingrup for half a month.

In the Ming Dynasty, when Hong Chengchou was in charge, Qian Bingrup was just a petty official of a county government when he was a great minister, and later although he went deep into the ranks of Beijing officials, he was also a great minister many years later, but he did not enter the core circle of power.

The most held positions are in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and finally rose to the level of the Ministry of Rites, and later arrived at the Longwu Imperial Court before serving as the Ministry of Rites, and came to the Kingdom of China is also the Ministry of Rites and finally concurrently serving as a local governor, becoming a feudal official, becoming a member of the cabinet of the DPRK, having absolute decision-making power, and entering the highest center of power.

When he was a Beijing official, he and Hong Chengchou had met and drank, but Hong Chengchou, who was arrogant by nature, would not give him face, and the two of them could be said to be nodding friends, maybe in the Ming officialdom, they could give face, are they colleagues, but in the subsequent series of evolutions, the two have not seen each other for many years, at least twenty-seven or eight years.

The two people in the past have now reached their twilight years, and Qian Bingrup has completed his tenure as a scholar, and he has also decided to retire and enjoy his old age in peace.

You Haibo's actions this time dealt a blow too hard to many officials who were once colleagues in the Ming officialdom, and it was impossible for him to even go to the Central Council to serve as a nominal member of the Central Council.

was arranged in this seemingly important position, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shangshu, this should be very suitable for his profession, because the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Rites Shangshu is also responsible for diplomacy, but the previous diplomacy is different from the current diplomacy, he understands, the previous diplomacy is to declare the country's might, etiquette, civilization, atmosphere, the current diplomacy is just squatting in front of the fish vendor, and he smells the fishy smell, looking at the trace of unwashed blood, baht must be compared, a copper plate and a copper plate bargaining, this thing, alas, Only those eunuchs can do it so smoothly, and he feels a little embarrassed to let an old and serious scholar of the Ministry of Rites do this thing.

If you still want to be this official and a cabinet elder in peace, for the glory of your children and grandchildren, Qian Bingrup still has to go.

However, when he came here, he found that his politeness was fed to the dog, Hong Chengchou didn't even want to see him, visited Feng Quan, Feng Quan just politely didn't say anything, the two of them just chatted about Daming, chatted about the tea ceremony, such a kung fu to nourish qi, it simply made Qian Bing, who was anxious to turn the diplomatic task given by Zhang Qiang into a beautiful political achievement, blew his beard and stared angrily, but he couldn't attack because of his feelings, and continued to use the skills of the original Ming officialdom to go around the bend, knock on the side, play haha, and all kinds of roundabout officialdom skills.

But when he returned to the inn and thought about it, he suddenly realized that he had fallen for the trick of these old foxes, he was a literati who was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but he still couldn't play two people who were better than him in officialdom and battlefield, and were better than him in all aspects, so he reluctantly wrote his own things into a recital for the speedboat to send back.

In the middle of the night, he heard someone knocking on the door, opened the door and saw that it was a military attache of the military intelligence department of the negotiation mission who followed him to negotiate, he handed Qian Bingrup a note, Qian Bingrup went back to palm the lamp and saw that it was a holy decree, which read: "Wait three days, go to the palace gate, and tell them to hit the Japanese peninsula in half a month, otherwise the Lu country will be destroyed, and the first fleet and the second fleet are already on the way to the Lu country, and the Lu country will be surrounded in three days." ”

Three days of encircling the country of Lu, Qian Bingrup trembled, the governor of the capital did not let Hong Chengchou live, if so, with his understanding of Hong Chengchou, it is absolutely impossible to accept this kind of shame, he would rather die than accept this kind of coerced thing to do without a way out, the Ming literati have a temperament, that is, arrogant, and would rather die than fulfill your wishes.

But this can't be done by him, he can only execute, now His Majesty is no longer the original Metropolitan Governor, the Metropolitan Governor is just a continuation of the Ming Dynasty, from the Jinhua Righteous Army to the Huaxia Army is just to resist the invasion of the Qing Army, and the Qing Dynasty was established, but Your Majesty, the Majesty of the Huaxia Kingdom This is the founding of the country, how can he take into account the feelings of a Ming official, he has just basically eliminated the influence of the Southern Ming Kingdom.

Three days later, in the morning fog, as many as 600 thousand-ton Huaxia warships slowly sailed out of the fog, unloaded their gun jackets on the sea, opened the gun windows, raised the muzzles, and the sea breeze blew the flag of the Huaxia Army hanging on the top of the mast.

Behind the 600 warships, as many as 670 870-ton warships lined up in battle formation, encircling the entire Ryukyu Kingdom on the long 1,000-kilometer-long sea.

In the middle, as many as 1,000 300-ton ships shuttled across the sea at a speed of up to 9 knots, doing all kinds of maneuvers, and as many as 60 ships of 180 tons were communicating the communications of the various fleets at a speed of 11 knots, sending orders from the various fleets along the coast to the center of the Huaxia Kingdom in Jinling Prefecture to the two flagships of the fleet, and then the news of the flagships being conveyed to the fleet and back to the center was transmitted.

The remnants of as many as 1,000 warships of the Lu State also quickly put out a battle formation, ready to meet the navy of the Huaxia Kingdom, and at the same time, as many as 100 armed merchant ships of various countries quickly drove out of the port, and then put on a battle formation after a certain distance, and thousands of merchant ships of various countries were in a panic, looking helplessly at the battle formation of the two sides on the sea outside the port for twenty or thirty miles, and at the same time they were frightened to inquire around for news, and the entire Lu country was in chaos.

A few months ago, when Lu attacked Miyagi in Japan, Lu was still complacent, and a month later, when the first fleet of the Huaxia Army Navy raided Japan, Lu did not feel in danger, but gloated.

Seeing Qian Bingrup like a local prince arriving in the capital, the princes in the capital are running all over the place, but the power is not as good as the soldiers guarding the door in front of the door of a prime minister, when the old gatekeeper, they feel that they have everything in control, and the world belongs to me.

Now when the powerful Huaxia Kingdom Navy warship arrived, Lu Guo fell into a panic all of a sudden, and their minds were full of the scene of the bombing and annihilation of the flying ash off the coast of Japan.

At this time, they suddenly realized that the conspiracy can be played, but it cannot be played on the Huaxia Kingdom, and now the Huaxia Kingdom has a reason to run here.

At this time, Qian Bingrup was not like the previous times, politely treated the palace eunuchs and guards who received him, the officials, he said coldly: "A word for your king, in half a month, the army of Lu must march on the island of Japan, and it must start a war with Japan, otherwise Lu will perish." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Back at the inn where he was staying, Qian Bingrup instructed the mission that had already been prepared, "Evacuate all the people of the Huaxia Kingdom, all the supplies, and in a day, we will also leave here, let's prepare." ”
