Qian Fugui still couldn't figure it out, but since the emperor had said it so clearly, he didn't insist on it, and immediately agreed.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen chatted with Wu Daji privately and said: "You suggest to Dolgon that you send troops to conquer the Iwami silver mine of the Wa Kingdom. ”

Iwami Ginzan has been mined for more than 100 years since 1526. It can be said that this Iwami Silver Mountain was the largest silver mine in the Wado Kingdom from the late Warring States period to the early Edo period in Japan. According to later statistics, in the 17th century, Iwami Ginzan accounted for one-third of the world's total silver production.

It can be seen from this that the importance of this Iwami Silver Mountain to the Wa Kingdom can be said to be the lifeblood of the Wa Kingdom. And this Iwami Ginzan is in Shimane Prefecture in the San'in region. It's not too far from Kyushu Island, and it's also far from the Tokugawa shogunate's base camp.

Of course, although this Iwami Ginzan is a little far from Edo, there is no doubt about the importance of this place. Therefore, he was accepted by the Tokugawa shogunate as a direct government and sent to Ginzan to administer it. Of course, it is certain that heavy troops will be stationed, and it will not be so easy to defeat them.

And the reason why Emperor Chongzhen gave Wu Daji this suggestion, instead of letting Qian Fugui propose it, was because Wu Daji was a person from Dolgon.

Now the Manchu emperor in the country is Dolgon, although Hauge's power is still quite large, but the right to speak is in the hands of Dolgon.

After Wu Daji arrived in the Wa Kingdom, Dolgon had no talent on hand, so he used Wu Daji to help him govern the place. Kyushu Island has been fighting for many years, and the people's livelihood is not much better. It would not be very abrupt for Wu Daji to put forward this proposal to capture Iwami Silver Mountain.

After receiving the will of Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Daji quickly stood up and spoke to Dolgon in a meeting: "The minions are incompetent, and the tax money that Your Majesty asked the minions to collect is currently less than one-tenth!" ”

Hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but frown. If you talk about civil affairs ability, your subordinates are the best at Wu Daji. Everyone else, basically, just knows how to fight. Now even he can't do the errand he gave him?

He was thinking about it, but before he could speak, Duoduo had already scolded angrily: "You waste, what do you eat? Can't even do a little thing? Whoever dares to kill whoever doesn't pay, see who dares not to pay? You can't do such a simple thing, you dog minion? ”

Seeing him so angry, Wu Daji was not afraid, but just saluted him and said, "Your Royal Highness, most of the farmers on the island are Catholics now. Your Majesty has made a will, and the minions can't help it. ”

Because the Catholic army was an allied army, Dolgon had decreed that these people were extrajudicial and not taxed. Unexpectedly, the remaining Japanese people on Kyushu Island rushed to join Catholicism.

Dolgon figured it out, and couldn't help but have a headache. He was still young, and he hadn't thought about it before.

Toyotomi Kunimatsu basically didn't have many troops, and his greatest use was for righteousness. Therefore, it is nothing that Dolgondove occupies the magpie's nest and seizes the power of Toyotomi Kunimatsu, and he is offered high.

On the side of the Catholic army, first, people recognize Catholicism, and if they want to seize power, it will easily lead to infighting. Now under the watchful eye of the Tokugawa shogunate, a powerful enemy, Dolgon could not afford any infighting.

Another reason is that it is said that the Spaniards on the Luzon side will return to their own country and pass through the Wa Kingdom. It was also due to the presence of the Catholic army that it was supposed to be able to get in touch with the Spaniards. Only in this way can the artillery and warships of Xiyi that Dolgon originally thought of be able to have eyebrows.

This point, from the fact that he had heard that the Japanese people on the Japanese side of the country had gone to Luzon to serve their lord, could be confirmed, and this idea should be feasible. Last year, the Spaniards didn't come, and based on experience, they will definitely come this year.

As a result, Dorgon had to accommodate the Catholic army on Kyushu. Unexpectedly, this only boosted the prestige of the Catholic army. Let the remaining Japanese people on Kyushu Island rush to join the Catholic Church, which is a big trouble!

Dorgon's plan was to prepare silver to be purchased from the Spaniards with a large sum of money. He believed that these Xiyi came all the way to make money. If you can give them what they want, I'm afraid you won't get what you want!

However, when he fled from Korea to the Wa Kingdom, he did not flee on his own initiative, but was forced by the Ming army, and chased all the way, so he did not bring much belongings with him. Of course, there is another reason, that is, North Korea is so poor that it is not as rich as Ming at all, and it does not have much wealth itself.

As a rule of thumb, the Spaniards would have to pass through the Wa kingdom in June and July, during which time they had to gather their possessions. Thinking so, Dolgon frowned and stretched out his hand to stop Duoduo, who was about to go crazy, and said in a low voice: "You can't blame Wu Qing for this, I know it in my heart." ”

Saying this, he set the tone for this matter, and then he said with a little worry: "But we only have such a chance in the Qing Dynasty, and we must gather enough silver taels before contacting the Spaniards!" ”

But what is the current situation, after Wu Daji said it, everyone in the palace knows it. Azig pondered for a while, and then he suggested: "No one pays taxes, how can you afford the money!" Otherwise, just owe it first. Let the people over there go and talk about it first, they are all under the hands of a god, it should be okay, right? ”

After Dolgon came to the Wa Kingdom, because the Yi people were his hope, he carefully inquired about the affairs of Xiyi. He had a general understanding of those Xiyi, so after listening to Azig's words, he shook his head and said, "Those Spaniards are all concerned with practical interests, and if they don't have enough gold, silver and jewelry, they will be of limited help to us." ”

"What then?" When Duoduo on the side heard this, he was a little anxious, "It's impossible, let's go grab the other one, right?" “

When he said the other side, he didn't mean the North Korean side. Don't say that North Korea is now poor and white, there is nothing to rob, just because the Ming army is stationed there, Duoduo does not have the courage to rob it. He meant the Tokugawa shogunate, which was currently across the sea from them. For the Japanese people who are like dwarf winter melons, Duoduo is very bold, and his mentality towards the Japanese people is like the mentality of the Ming army in Liaodong, and he has a great psychological advantage.

But what he just said was mainly because the sailors were inferior to the other party, and now on the other side of the strait, they were no match for the Tokugawa shogunate's sailors, and their limited ships were hiding in the harbor and did not dare to go out. It seems impossible to rob the Tokugawa shogunate!

Therefore, after Dodor finished speaking, the hall was quiet, and no one took the stubble. However, Wu Daji's heart moved, and he remembered Emperor Chongzhen's will, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks this is a good idea. ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to him, and there was an idiot look in their eyes. If you can easily rob the other side, and use your Goryeo stick to say, if you want to talk about robbery, you don't have too much experience in the Qing Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, there is a very large silver mine in the Wa Kingdom, far from Edo, where the Tokugawa Shogunate is located...... "As a Korean, Wu Daji himself knew something about the Wa Kingdom. After Emperor Chongzhen made his will, he inquired again and learned more about the situation. Therefore, he ignored those strange gazes, and just talked there.

In fact, when some words are passed from person to person many times, they tend to become exaggerated. And Iwami Silver Mountain itself is very large, very famous, and after the exaggeration of rumors, it seems that this Iwami Silver Mountain is a mountain of completely silver piles, and there is as much silver as there is.

After Wu Daji introduced what he knew, he finally said: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the Japanese people, the servants are all telling the truth, and there is no lie!" ”

After all, Dolgon and the others were outsiders, and it was only at this time that they really realized that the Iwami Silver Mountain was far bigger than they imagined. Suddenly, they all showed a look of surprise and shock. They didn't need to ask, they all believed that Wu Daji would not be able to lie to them.

Duoduo was even more excited to reveal his true nature, waved his hand, and suggested to Dorgon: "Such a good place, needless to say, just grab it!" ”

I didn't want to grab it before, and that's because the price can be high. But now, he found that the harvest would be great, so he naturally changed his attitude.

After finishing speaking, Duoduo also said to himself: "Damn, Lao Tzu is so big, he hasn't seen the silver mountain yet!" ”

Azig was also very excited, and nodded again and again in response: "Yes, I grabbed it, I'm afraid I won't have money in the future?" ”

However, Dolgon was much more rational than his two brothers, and although his face was a little excited, he still said a little worriedly: "This Iwami Silver Mountain must also be very important to the Tokugawa shogunate, and it must be heavily guarded!" ”

"What are you afraid of!" When Duoduo heard this, he said indifferently, "On land, who am I afraid of coming?" ”

Speaking of this, it seemed a little inappropriate, so he added: "At least in the Wa Kingdom, others are afraid of our Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible for us to be afraid of others in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

When he said this, he was full of confidence.

For this, these Manchu leaders really don't say it, they all have this self-confidence. Not to mention that their size is there, in terms of light and strength, one captive is against the Japanese people, even if a few come, they can be very right. Not to mention, the matter of fighting a war is what the Manchus are best at, what else can be wrong with bullying these poor and frustrated dwarves!

To be honest, listening to Dordor's words, Dorgon was also moved. He was also confident that he would not be afraid of the Tokugawa shogunate if he fought only on land. However, as the head of a country, he also has some considerations.

I heard him say, "You can't just think about war. We are short of food and grass now, and if we go on an expedition to Iwami Ginzan, if the Tokugawa shogunate gives us a strong wall, then we will not be able to withdraw it, I am afraid it will not be so easy! ”

After repeated wars on Kyushu Island, the people's livelihood has withered, and it is enough to feed the army, and there is no food at all. Now that those widows can't collect taxes, the collection of military rations is even more difficult. It is also for this reason that both the side and the Tokugawa shogunate chose a truce, and there were no major wars, just to recuperate and accumulate strength.

Now these Manchu leaders, when they hear that there will be a shortage of food, the fear simply comes out of their bones. Therefore, although the temptation of Iwami Ginzan was there, several people in the main hall were unexpectedly silent.

At this time, Dorgon was really embarrassed. It's almost April, and in June or July, the Spaniards will pass by. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will have to wait another year, if not longer. To be honest, he felt that he couldn't afford to wait.

But now, although the silver mountain is there, it is very difficult to get it. In addition to that, it is impossible to raise enough silver on the island of Kyushu. Dolgon thought left and right, but still couldn't make up his mind, he really had too many concerns, and he had to think about the whole Qing Dynasty and the whole situation.

It is also thanks to the closed news of the Japanese state, and the Spaniards who don't know that Luzon have long been annihilated by the Ming Dynasty, and those who went to serve the Lord have also been killed, otherwise, they don't have to be so entangled.

Just when the hall was quiet and Duoduo was a little impatient, suddenly there was movement outside the hall. There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and as soon as the people in the hall heard it, they knew who was coming, and suddenly, all of them showed unhappy expressions on their faces.

As the footsteps approached, a rough voice came in: "The emperor is on a discussion, why didn't he inform the nephew?" ”

Needless to say, the winner is the only imperial nephew in history.

I saw him break into the main hall with a group of subordinates, and no matter what the group of people in the hall thought of him, it was obvious that everyone had a bad relationship anyway. Seeing him approach, he casually said to Dolgon: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

Dorgon frowned, but immediately let go of his brows, squeezed out a little smile, and said, "It's not a big deal right now, I didn't think about calling you so that you can rest more." ”

Ever since Hauge found out that Dorgon had poached his generals, he hadn't given Dorgon much a good look. When he heard this, he immediately shouted: "How did you become an emperor?" Don't have a big deal yet? Tell you, the Ming army is about to fight! ”

For the rudeness of his mouth, Dodor on the side was about to scold angrily. But as soon as he heard Hauge's words, the curse was suddenly stuck.

Dolgon didn't care about Hauge's rudeness, and immediately asked with a serious face, "What do you say about the imperial nephew?" What did you hear? ”

In the hearts of these remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the number one enemy will always be the Ming army that drove them into the sea. At this time, when they heard that the army was coming, whether it was the arrogant Duoduo or the cautious Dorgon, they were all taken aback, and they didn't care about other things, so they hurriedly verified.
