On the evening of the same day, several brothers gathered in the yamen of the thousand households in front of Fushan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Pan Xuezhong brought the entourage sailors, Wang Rui also prepared a banquet to entertain.

These young brothers, who value love and righteousness, have seen each other every few months, and they have to drink and talk.

Young people dare to talk about anything when they drink too much, and they can be honest and outspoken.

"Second brother, you have brought over so much food and materials this time, we don't have so much silver to pay the bill." Ma Ju said worriedly.

He didn't care about the accounts, and the materials and silver of Zhenhai Fort were all allocated from the front of Fushan. But no matter how much he cares, he knows the expenses of hundreds of people in this town.

He is not from a wealthy family, and his spending temperament is naturally much smaller than that of Wang Rui and Pan Xuezhong.

Of course, it's not that Wang Rui is so atmospheric, and it's too much. It's just that he is still a modern person in his thinking, and after traveling through the past, he is not sensitive to silver data!

"Haha! Big brother, you're still worried about this! Now it's not the money you owe me, it's the tens of thousands of taels of silver I owe you. I only reconciled with my third brother in the afternoon. The total value of the goods and silver I brought over was 45,000 taels, but the goods delivered to me by the third brother were worth 95,400 taels. The third brother was magnificent, and let me four hundred taels. You see, it's reversed now! I've got fifty-five thousand taels of you missing! Pan Xuezhong laughed.

"Third brother, what is produced in our workshop can be worth so much money?" Chen Ming asked excitedly and curiously.

"Value! In the future, I will earn at least more than 100,000 taels of silver every month! Wang Rui confidently patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Even if you let everyone eat white flour buns every day, you can't finish it!" Chen Ming said stupidly.

"Look at you! More than 100,000 taels of silver can be spent without spending! In the future, our workshop will earn back 200,000 taels or 500,000 taels a month! Wang Rui said with a smile.

"Third brother, you really have so much silver, what are your plans for spending?" Ma Ju asked.

"There is definitely a plan for expenses, and we will do financial planning and auditing in advance in the future. The most important thing for us now is to have a plan to expand the army, a plan to be promoted! Or rather a bloody plan! Wang Rui waved his hand vigorously and said.

Seeing the hateful and decisive look on Wang Rui's face, Pan Xuezhong and the others were taken aback, and he asked anxiously, "What plan?" ”

Ma Ju and Chen Ming also looked puzzled and surprised. Chen Ming was thinking in his heart: If the third brother wants to rebel, should I do it? Anyway, I am a single person, and the third brother is really going to rebel, so let's do it!

"Haha, look at what scared you! Think I'm going to do something rebellious? I also want to take my brothers to get promoted and make a fortune. My plan is to fight the Japanese country! Wang Rui laughed.

"Fighting the Japanese country? Why do you want to fight the Japanese state? The Wa Kingdom is not a threat to my Ming Dynasty now! Ma Ju asked puzzled.

He couldn't help but think in his heart: If you don't fight Jiannu who is close to Liaodong, you go to fight the Wa Kingdom farther away, is your brain bad or what?

"There are Japanese people in the country! Doesn't it often come to disturb my Daming? Right! That's why! But then again, I have strong troops in hand, and I can fight whoever I want, what other reasons do you have? Let's talk about it! It's about hitting it, that's the reason. Wang Rui said extremely domineeringly.

"Ahh The three of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say to Wang Rui.

"Where does the strong army come from? Soldiers must be trained! But even more to pull out and fight! In the future, there will be only one criterion for the promotion of our army, that is: have you never been on the battlefield, have you never fired a gun, have you ever been injured, and have no culture! Iron-blooded strong armies are all fought out of the flames of war! But you look around us, where can we fight? None of them can be hit. Bandits and bandits? It seems to be very easy to fight, and it is also a good training object. But the involvement is too big, and as soon as we pull it out to fight, our strength will be too easily exposed. How many of these bandits and bandits who have been entrenched in the local area for a long time have not colluded with the government gentry? With our current official strength, we can't fight for the time being. After fighting, there will be no less trouble! Wang Rui patiently explained to the three brothers.

"But third brother, these bandits and bandits do a lot of evil, and they love to bully the common people the most." Chen Ming is a teenager with a young heart, and he was excited to listen to Wang Rui's bold words.

"It's not that I don't fight, it's just that the time is not right. When the time comes, within a month, we can all serve the bandits and bandits in Denglailu Province! Wang Rui slammed his hand downward.

"Third brother, what you said makes sense. I just don't understand, why don't you go to Jiannu? Won the head of Jiannu, and his military merit is the greatest! Ma Ju came out again and broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"Haha! We don't have a ship! Did you swim in the sea? Wang Rui spread his hands and laughed.

Pan Xuezhong listened, but smiled strangely.

"Third brother, don't fight haha! If you go to fight the Japanese country, you will be able to have a ship? Ma Ju frowned.

"Of course there is a ship! Hey, isn't the second brother, the young owner of the Haigang, here? Wang Rui casually pointed at Pan Xuezhong.

"You, you here! If you fight the Japanese country, you will have a ship, but if you fight Jiannu, you will not have a ship? Ma Ju was a little angry, but he was ruined by Jiannu, so he naturally wanted to go to Jiannu first to take revenge.

But when he got angry for a while, he obviously had some brain circuits.

"Yes, third brother, why don't you go to Jiannu first? I admire the hero of the eldest brother and the third brother who killed Jiannu the most! Chen Ming's situation was similar to that of Ma Ju, so he also asked with a blank look.

Looking at the serious expressions of the two, Wang Rui didn't dare to fight anymore Haha, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to fight Jiannu." Like you, I hate these Manchu Tartars who slaughtered us and other Han people like pigs and dogs! But we really can't go now. To fight Jiannu, there are at least three or four places involved: the governor of Denglai, Haiphong Dao, and the Guanning Dongjiang River. With our current strength, even if we win, we may not end well! If he was defeated, I am sure that he would be easily sacrificed by his fellow Shangguan. ”

There are many people in Pan Xuezhong's family in the officialdom, so they naturally understand the twists and turns. He also stood up and interjected: "Fighting Jiannu involves too many aspects at one time. We'd better not pick on the head for now. ”

After listening to Wang Rui's explanation, and seeing that Pan Xuezhong also agreed, the depression in the hearts of Ma Ju and Chen Ming finally calmed down a lot.

Wang Rui watched the two of them look better, and then patiently continued: "We have very few horses now, and we don't have cavalry troops. Just using us, the infantry who have not fought in battle, really want to fight Jiannu, in the short term, we really can't please us. Therefore, I went to fight the Japanese country for two purposes: one is to train troops in actual combat by fighting instead of training, and the other is to get a lot of benefits. On this vast sea, we can all grab the money and food of the ship! Second brother, tell me, how many sea boats are running around this country every day? ”

"That's a lot! For any fleet, the cargo silver will be at least 78,000 taels. The third brother wants to fight these fleets? Pan Xuezhong said with a wry smile.

"Those who know me, the second brother too! Yes, we go to sea, we are kings! Let's give it a guerrilla war at sea! When encountering a fleet, all that could be grabbed was robbed. If you can't beat it, let's turn around and run! We don't have heavy supplies on board, so it's no problem to run away, right? Wang Rui said with a smile.

"Haha, third brother, you are good at sea guerrilla! When the float is white! Pan Xuezhong raised the wine bowl in a chic manner and greeted.

"Drink, drink! Drink it and talk about it! Wang Rui agreed.

Although Ma Ju Chen Ming felt unreliable when he heard it, he also picked up the wine bowl and drank it with a snort.

After drinking, Ma Ju motioned for Chen Ming to pour the wine, and persuaded him: "Third brother, you have to be cautious in this matter!" It's okay for you to kill the Japanese in Denglai, if we just go to fight the Japanese country so boldly, it will go against the teachings of the ancestors! I, Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, have set fifteen 'non-conscripted countries'. This Wa kingdom is one of them. ”

The saying of "the country that is not conquered" is still known by Wang Rui, who loved to read and was well-informed in his previous life.

In other words, the "non-conquest country" was an important policy under the Ming Dynasty's vassal system and tributary system.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang set the tone for the diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty: first, to pursue harmony, and second, to enforce the sea ban. The pursuit of peaceful diplomacy is a continuation of the traditional way of "Huairou Yuanren" in the Chinese Celestial Empire, and it is also a negation of the foreign expansion of the Mongol and Yuan Tatar rulers.

In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the compilation of the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", announcing that 15 overseas countries such as Korea and Japan would be listed as "countries not to be levied", and warned future generations not to arbitrarily levy them. The 15 countries were: Korea (present-day Korea), Japan (present-day Ben), Greater Ryukyu, Lesser Ryukyu, Annam (present-day Vietnam), Chenla (present-day Cambodia), Siam (present-day Thailand), Champa (present-day southern Vietnam, later destroyed by Annam), and so on.

The proclamation of these 15 "non-conscripted countries" marked the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy of peace, and in the subsequent edicts to other countries, the Ming Dynasty also repeatedly stated its position of "sharing the blessings of peace".

However, Wang Ruike does not take such a position. Peace is nothing but a weak and shameless cloth for the weak. The strong have never taken peace seriously.

When I think that my China was weak, these "countries that do not conquer" set by Ming Taizu have never been polite to the Chinese people. Occupy my Chinese land, dominate my Chinese sea frontier, and kill my Chinese fishermen, they have never been soft.

For peace, such a shameless and weak statement, Wang Rui is sneering.

"In the world of great contention, strength prevails!" 'The country that is not conquered' is just a cliché saying of those nerds, but the younger brother does not approve of it. Since I don't approve of it, I don't bother with it. Of course, big brother doesn't have to worry, the court is corrupt, we just killed the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and these straw bales don't know! Wang Rui said unceremoniously.

"My lord! Zhang Er has something important to report! Suddenly, there was a rough voice outside the door.

Wang Ruima and the others glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "What's wrong?" ”
