(Thank you for the monthly pass!) ）

Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see that China's first equal contract had been signed in his hands, after all, he was now famous in history according to the words of those stinky old nine. In the past, when Zhu Hongsan didn't succeed, he didn't care about his posthumous name, how much love dropped, how to drip, who could care about it when his life was gone? But since he occupied Nanjing, he has paid more and more attention to his own image, after all, he doesn't want to be written down by those stinky old men, Zhu Hongsan hopes that he will not be recorded as a tyrant and a faint monarch in the future, at least he must get a Shenwu Zhongxing.

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhang Huangyan: "Xuanzhu, what is the urgent twist and turn today?" ”

Now that the fighting has stopped, all parties are in the stage of licking their wounds, and most of the twists and turns reported by the provinces are related to people's livelihood, such as the typhoon in the coastal areas of Fujian in July, which needs the imperial court to allocate money and grain relief; There is also the tide of the Qiantang River in Zhejiang, which needs to be renovated; The city of Nanchang, Jiangxi is dilapidated, and it needs money and food to renovate the city wall, and silver is needed everywhere anyway.

Zhu Hongsan saw that these heads were big, the whole country was in ruins, and he was still occupying the richest place in the country, if the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was successful in the future, what would happen to those provinces in the north that had been in war for more than ten years? Now that the treasury has no money, there is only one way to ask for grain in the provinces, which is to mobilize local wealthy households to raise donations.

Zhu Hongsan flipped through dozens of folds casually and asked, "What is there besides asking for money and food?" ”

Zhang Huang picked one out of his hand and dedicated it to Zhu Hongsan, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a request for help sent by the Jiangsu Provincial Inspector, on July 4, Lu Ruoteng, the deputy envoy of Jiangsu Patrol Road, found five pirate ships in the sea off the Yangtze River, and on July 10, Baoshan, Suzhou Prefecture, reported an emergency, and more than 500 Japanese robbers landed and plundered the place, but they have been repelled by the navy stationed in Chongming, and more than 300 people have been beheaded!" After interrogation, most of these pirates came from the Wa Kingdom! ”

Zhu Hongsan's eyes lit up when he heard that these pirates were from Japan, why did he forget that there was a Japan by his side? Although Japan is not rich, it is also stronger than the war-torn Ming Dynasty, so why not send troops to Japan to grab some silver and food?

Zhu Hongsan said angrily after hearing Zhang Huangyan: "These little Japan, just fucking will take advantage of the fire to rob!" Xuanzhu, you gave an order, ordered the navy in Chongming to send five ships, with three regiments of the army, to the Satsuma domain in Japan, and ask their daimyo what happened to the land? Can you still have a good time? ”

Zhang Huangyan didn't care about Zhu Hongsan's nonsense, he knew that the emperor was angry and ready to take action against Japan.

China and Japan have been neighbors since ancient times, and there have been long honeymoon periods in history, such as the Han and Tang dynasties. There have also been times when water and fire are incompatible, and the most typical of the latter is Kublai Khan's two expeditions to Japan during the Yuan Dynasty, which is huge and unprecedented. But I'm afraid few people know that when the country was founded in the early Ming Dynasty, the eloquent Zhu Yuanzhang also had plans to attack Japan.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to attack Japan is not because he has nothing to do, and the "Japanese Bandits" is one of the main reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang wants to attack.

Although there were famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou in the later period, it was not until the Tokugawa shogunate period, when the country was closed three times in a row, that the "Japanese Invaders" were truly extinct on the southeast coast of our country, and the "Japanese Troubles" were truly solved.

As early as the Hongwu period under the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Japanese invaders harassed the southeast coastal areas of China for a long time. According to statistics, there were as many as 44 recorded invasions of the Japanese during the Hongwu period, and most of them were concentrated before the 14th year of Hongwu, with an average of more than two per year. In order to solve this problem, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to have exhausted himself and racked his brains.

In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia, to guard Guangdong, set up guards in key coastal areas, sent troops to defend, and at the same time sent a letter of state to the Japanese countries (at that time, Japan was in the period of the "Northern and Southern Dynasties" split) to express his hope to establish good-neighborly and friendly relations with the Japanese countries, eliminate the Japanese invaders together, and share the blessings of peace. However, the Japanese shogun at that time, Ashikaga Yoshikan, prevaricated on the grounds that "the Japanese government did not know about the Japanese pirates in Kyushu". In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had an eye on long-term interests, sent Yang Zhi and seven other people to Japan, and personally wrote a sternly worded letter threatening the "Japanese Invaders". After receiving the letter, Prince Huailiang of Japan was furious, beheaded five envoys, and detained all the others, and Zhu Yuanzhang's negotiations were fruitless.

In March of the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who did not give up, sent Zhao Zhi, the governor of Laizhou Prefecture, and others to Japan again. After some thrilling maneuvers and verbal strife, Zhao Rank finally softened Prince Huailiang's position. Prince Huailiang sent the monk Zu to bring a large number of tribute horses and native products to the Ming Dynasty to "pay tribute" to the Ming Dynasty, and also returned more than 70 Chinese who had been captured by the Wu Kou. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, held a banquet in the palace to entertain the Japanese envoys, and rewarded a large amount of money. Considering that the Japanese generally believe in Buddhism, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent eight monks to escort his ancestors back to China. But Zhu Yuanzhang lacked a minimum understanding of Japan at that time, he overestimated the influence of Prince Huailiang, Prince Huailiang was only a prince and not a king, and his will did not represent the will of the entire Japanese country, so what did the most powerful Japanese king think at that time? It so happened that this benevolent brother had the opposite idea of Prince Huailiang, who did not think that friendship with China was such an urgent and urgent matter. So this time, the negotiations that had brought hope to Zhu Yuanzhang were once again stranded.

Later, Japan also had some scattered tributes, but because these were mostly private activities carried out by local powerful officials who coveted the rewards of the Ming Dynasty, there were no formal expressions and seals, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not care much. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the Japanese envoy came to pay tribute again, and the situation was the same as the previous few times, but he brought a letter of the Japanese general Yuan Yoshimitsu, the article was written extremely arrogantly, Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy after reading it, so he refused the Japanese tribute.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Japan came to pay tribute again, but Zhu Yuanzhang once again refused, and asked the Ministry of Rites to write a letter to reproach the Japanese king and their general Zhengyi: "The king lives in the vicissitudes of life, and has been passed down for a long time, and now he does not obey God's orders and does not keep his own points, but he knows that the king is dangerous around the sea, and the mountain is solid." arrogant, wantonly destroying neighbors, and conniving at the people as thieves. God will put a false hand on man, and disaster will come. I am ordered by the Supreme to move the text to the king. If the king doesn't judge the huge and small, imitates the frog at the bottom of the well, looks up at the mirror sky, and thinks that he is big, is there no source of suspicion? ”。 Not to be outdone, Japan also replied with an extremely tough letter, and the writing was brilliant: "The ministers heard that the three emperors were extremely strong, and the five emperors were Zen Buddhism, but China has a master, and there is no king." The universe is vast, not the sole power of one lord, the universe is wide, and all states are divided into defenses. The one who covers the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person. The vassals live far from the weak, the country is small, the city is less than 60, the territory is less than 3,000, and there is still contentment. His Majesty is the lord of China, the king of ten thousand times, with thousands of cities and millions of miles of territory. The husband is killing and moving the stars to change the night. The ground kills the machine, and the dragon snake goes to the land. People kill people, and heaven and earth repeat. Xi Yao, Shun Youde, guests from all over the world. Tang, Wu Shiren, tribute from all directions! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he read this letter, and the history records that "the emperor is very embarrassed", but considering the experience of the Yuan Dynasty's two expeditions to Japan, Zhu Yuanzhang held back this bad breath. Although Li Wenzhong, a tiger general, also suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang conquer Japan to hate before snowing, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not lead the Ming Dynasty's boat division to the east after careful consideration. However, after this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his previous strategy of trying to befriend Japan, and instead actively fortified internally, strengthened defense and defense construction in various coastal areas, and minimized the losses caused by the Japanese invaders. In the end, on the grounds that Japan supported Hu Weiyong's rebellion, he decisively severed contacts with Japan in the 20th year of Hongwu. Japan was listed as a "country not to be conquered" and Japan was never allowed to trade with China, and this was written into the "Emperor's Ancestral Teachings" that was passed on to future generations. It was in this same book that Japan was included in the list of the fifteen countries that would never be attacked.

Zhang Huangyan is familiar with history books and knows this history, so he hurriedly said after hearing that the emperor was going to do something to Japan: "Your Majesty, when Emperor Taizu Gao listed the Wa Kingdom as a country that was not to be conquered, it has been written into the Emperor's ancestral teachings. If Your Majesty goes on an expedition to Japan, it will be easy to teach the truth! ”

Zhang Huangyan's worries are not unreasonable, after the Mongols occupied the Southern Song Dynasty, they used the strongest naval division in Asia in the Southern Song Dynasty to expedition to Japan, and they all returned with a feather. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to take care of Japan, but he was also afraid of following in the footsteps of Meng Yuan, so that Japan could survive. Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, Zhu Hongsan wants to send a few thousand people to attack Japan, but he really doesn't know what to do! However, Zhang Huangyan naturally couldn't say that the emperor was not self-sufficient, but put forward Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial ancestral training, hoping that Zhu Hongsan could use this ladder to step down.

How do you know that Zhu Hongsan thinks differently from Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Hongsan is now poor and can't wait to lick his fingers after, it is really unreasonable to not take a few bites of such a big piece of fat on the side, and it is not like Zhu Hongsan's character of retribution and plucking.

"Xuanzhu, you don't have to worry about the rest, give an order, order Zhao Guoliang to lead three regiments, and five warships of the navy to set off! Zhao Guoliang sent a military admiral to Japan! Chin this! ”

Although Zhang Huangyan is the foreman of the emperor's military aircraft department, the military aircraft department is the emperor's secretary to put it bluntly, and they can only implement it after the emperor decides. Zhang Huangyan couldn't ask: "Your Majesty, what is the name of the holy decree given to the king of the Japanese Kingdom?" ”
