Yuan Huang is a qualified praise painting, Xiao Ruxun is convinced of this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Japanese city is strong and easy to defend, the strong attack is the bottom, the attack is the top, Ji Xin, don't be impatient, the overall situation is like this, our army has cut off the supply line of the Japanese invaders, from now on turn the strong attack to a feint, besieged it, he will not last for a month, I don't care about this time and a half, so don't be impatient, you are the main general, if you are restless, the whole army will be restless!"

Yuan Huang's words calmed Xiao Ruxun's mood a little, and ordered the whole army to turn a strong attack into a feint, inducing the Japanese to use more weapons such as iron cannons to consume their supplies, and when their supplies ran out, we swaggered to fill the ravine, and the Japanese were helpless.

Since the beginning of the war, the Ming army has been invincible and invincible, and the army is proud, but there is no way to sink the sand under the city, and Xiao Ruxun is very unhappy to go down to the ordinary soldiers, feeling ashamed, holding his breath in his heart, just waiting for the day of the city to be killed.

At this stall, the envoy sent by Chen Lan arrived at the camp in Daegu and handed the letter to Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun read it and then showed the letter to Yuan Huang, after Yuan Huang read it, he frowned and said: "Although the Japanese have no way, but this is not unreasonable, the Japanese country has not been completely defeated by me, and it must be easier to ask for some money, but if they want to go to the emperor and surrender to the national character, they must be on the verge of extinction." ”

"I naturally know, that's why I insist on this and refuse to let go, just to let the eyes of the Japanese invaders shift a little from the Iwami Silver Mountain, and it is not easy to win fifty percent of the share, for this reason, we may also have to start a war with this Tokugawa Ieyasu, and going to the emperor is just an additional clause, and it is not necessary for me."

"Is it necessary to cut the land?"

"Part of it is that Hizen and Iwami are the front, and the three islands of Tsushima, Sado and Oki are indispensable, and these three islands are connected in a line, so that my Daming Naval Division will put a blockade line in front of the Japanese mainland and isolate it from Korea, which will not only facilitate us to go to Japan for trade at any time, but also give us the convenience of attacking Japan and plundering silver anytime and anywhere, so we must get these three outlying islands."

Xiao Ruxun wrote a reply letter categorically, clarifying the necessity of obtaining these three islands.

"We can see it, and the talented people in Japan can see it, how can you be sure that they will say yes?"

"Because Tokugawa Ieyasu is anxious to establish an alliance with us, so that he can concentrate on dealing with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the remnants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he is absolutely unwilling to complete Toyotomi Hideyoshi, or be attacked from both sides and become the most unlucky one, he will definitely find ways to form an alliance with us, and even use our strength to destroy Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

Yuan Huang pursed his lips and said, "Then, what you really want shouldn't be all what is said in this letter, right?" ”

"That's natural, we didn't really defeat Japan, I did this, just to deter Japan with a big victory, so that they can't react for a while, what the Ming really wants at the moment is nothing more than Tsushima three islands, three million taels of silver and fifty percent of the share of Iwami Ginzan, the rest is a disguise, but since the Japanese promised to trade with three articles, why don't we do it?"

Yuan Huang squinted his eyes at the three articles of trade drawn up by Xiao Ruxun, and asked very suspiciously; "Even the old man thinks that these three are insignificant, just like the Mongolians in the past asked the Ming Dynasty to open the border and mutual markets, there is no deterrence, it is nothing more than a matter of national system and majesty, compared to real money, and my Ming, what are the benefits?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled and said: "Yuan Gong, maybe you can't see it now, you will think that it is better to have real money and silver than to open a port and mutual market, but it won't be long before the Japanese may start another war with us for these three treaties." ”

"Another war? For the sake of mutual trade? Ji Xin, it's not that the old man said you, even if you open up the road to trade with Japan, you won't hand over the Japanese tariff, but how can you be sure that those big merchants are willing to go to Japan to do business? ”

Yuan Huang was a little incredible: "The old man really doesn't believe it, businessmen can't afford to make profits early, the road to Japan is far away, and it is not necessarily safe, just pay a tariff less, can make those businessmen flock to it?" ”

"How about we make a bet? At that time, if Japan seeks to go to war for this, Yuan Gong must grant me a request, if not, in turn, I will grant Yuan Gong a request, of course, this request is not contrary to the general righteousness. ”

Yuan Huang touched the beard on his chin and thought for a while, looked at Xiao Ruxun for a while, looked at the terms on it for a while, and then laughed.

"Even if your kid's wisdom is outstanding, it's rare for ten years, and the old man doesn't believe in your evil! Yes! Deal! A gentleman's word! ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang high-fived three times and made an oath.

After that, Xiao Ruxun had a new idea.

"Yuan Gong, I plan to go to Japan to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu in person, personally finalize this matter, and hand it over to Chen Lu and they don't know when to talk about it."

"You're going in person?"

Yuan Huang was stunned for a moment: "You are the main general, only you can suppress this group of arrogant soldiers, if you are not there, who do you expect to suppress them?" Who will take the position of the chief general? Will arrogant people like Li Rusong honestly obey orders? His Jurchen soldiers suffered the most losses, and they have been clamoring for the slaughter of the city these days. ”

"Slaughter the city, slaughter the city, when the time comes, you can hand over a Wacheng city to him to slaughter the city, I have no opinion, anyway, his subordinates are all Jurchen soldiers, even if the court wants to pursue it, it can't be investigated, the Han soldiers under my jurisdiction have never slaughtered the city, that's fine, as for the position of the main general, Yuan Gong, only you can temporarily replace this position for me, after all, your qualifications are old and old, even Li Rusong does not dare to ignore you."

Xiao Ruxun took up the pen and wrote down the military orders, ready to go to Japan to negotiate in person.

"If you have to go, the old man can't stop you, but how long are you going to go? If there is any unexpected incident here, the old man does not have the prestige that you can deter the army. ”

Yuan Huang knew that he had always existed in the army as a praise painting, although everyone knew each other, but they all looked at Xiao Ruxun's face and were in awe of Xiao Ruxun's prestige, not him Yuan Huang, in addition to his qualifications as a civilian official, he Yuan Huang had no other capital to deter the generals, let alone personally lead the army.

This made Yuan Huang hesitate.
