I saw that in the chat group, the private chat sent by Jinyiwei from Tianjin Port read: The Tokugawa shogunate of the Japanese kingdom came to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty, and the tribute is very rich, which is expected to reach 100,000 taels of silver, and there are five beauties of the Japanese country.

Emperor Chongzhen was really speechless, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to attack Korea during the Wanli period and officially fought with the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State has not sent envoys to pay tribute. Moreover, even when they came to pay tribute in the past, they all wanted to make money from the Ming Dynasty, and during the Jiajing period, in order to reap this benefit, even the two factions of the Wa Kingdom fought each other on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, it's really real, the tribute is worth as much as 100,000 taels of silver, and there are five beauties in the Japanese country, this shot is really generous!

In advance, Emperor Chongzhen did not receive a secret report from the Jinyi Guard lurking in Edo. Including from the opponent side of the Tokugawa shogunate, whether it was Qian Fugui or Wu Daji, there was no secret report of this news, and it is obvious that this envoy of the Tokugawa shogunate of the Wakuni was a secret envoy. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Nishiki guard agent in Edo has no level and cannot blend into the decision-making level of the Tokugawa shogunate.

However, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it a little, and in fact, he understood the reason why the Tokugawa shogunate secretly sent envoys to pay tribute. To be precise, the Tokugawa shogunate sent an envoy to the Ming this time, and it was not the purpose of the tribute to obtain enough profits from the Ming Dynasty, so the tribute was very real. The real purpose of the Tokugawa shogunate should be to ask the Ming to send troops to help them solve the remnants of our country.

This can be deduced.

First, Kyushu Island had been occupied by the remnants of Kenju for a long time, and the Tokugawa shogunate had not been able to take it back. You know, there are only a few islands in Japan, and Kyushu Island is the largest and most economically valuable island outside of Honshu, and it is impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate not to want it.

Second, because he had ordered Qian Fugui and Wu Daji to do things before, he instigated the remnants of Jianyu to capture Iwami Silver Mountain. Although the remnants of the Kenyu have not yet been defeated, they have been mobilizing troops, and it is estimated that the Tokugawa shogunate has already felt that a big war is about to break out and feels enough pressure.

Hehe, these Japanese people also want to be beautiful! When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help but say in his heart. I have been laying out my own layout for so long, this Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty is wanting. Although in itself, it is only a few islands, and there are many volcanoes and earthquakes, but its geographical location is good, and when the Ming Dynasty plots North and South America in the future, this Japanese country will be a springboard.

Besides, in the past, when you felt that the Japanese kingdom was strong, you wanted to fight the idea of the suzerain, but now that there is something, you want the suzerainty to help you, this abacus is too good!

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen forwarded the news to the temporary group of the cabinet, and then asked, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

There was silence in the temporary chat group for a while, and Shoufu Wen Tiren replied: "Your Majesty, Taizu has issued an edict saying that this country is a country that is not to be conquered. ”

In the past, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was going to lay out the Wa State and take the Wa State. He didn't persuade, because Emperor Chongzhen's method was to force the remnants of Jianyu into the Wa Kingdom and let them eat dogs. In this way, the place where the Ming Dynasty took the Wa Kingdom from the Jianyu Yu became a part of the Ming Dynasty's territory, and it did not conflict with the will of Taizu back then. Just like North Korea, Taizu also said that it was a country that was not conquered, but in the end it did not become a part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty was taken from Jianyu Yu, and the royal family members of North Korea who originally had the right to inherit were all killed by Gwanghaejun. And Gwanghaejun himself, not only was he taken hostage by the remnants of Jianyu and went to the Wa Kingdom, but he was also a usurper who plotted the throne and was an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what happened, it was impossible for North Korea to return it to him. In this way, it is justified that the Ming Dynasty included North Korea in its territory.

But the Wa Kingdom is a little different, and people are now sending envoys to pay tribute, which shows that people recognize that the Ming Dynasty is still the suzerain, and they will definitely shirk the responsibility of the year. In this case, it is like two people fighting, but the other party is instigated, kneeling on the ground and holding his thighs and begging, saying that he is wrong, saying that he is not willing, it is instigated by others, and one side is a humble gentleman (the Heavenly Empire), in this case, can you still fight? The situation of the Wa Kingdom is a similar reason.

Therefore, Wen Tiren just reminded him, but it was just that, and he didn't say anything else. Obviously, the decision is still in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, he is just reminding Emperor Chongzhen for reference.

However, if the second assistant Sun Chengzong played correctly, he went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, we have laid out the Japanese country for a long time, how can we give up all our achievements?" And the wolf heart of the wolf, the wolf of the country, the bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard, what is the use of staying? ”

Sure enough, those who lead soldiers and those who don't lead soldiers are different in terms of doing things and thinking.

Several other ministers of the cabinet also spoke, and they were clearly divided into two factions, supporting the different views of the first assistant and the second assistant.

Emperor Chongzhen groaned, as a mature politician, he couldn't shout and kill nakedly. Although Daming is currently strong enough, the so-called division is famous, whether it is internally or externally, there must be an explanation. It is also a loss that in the previous days, he had already guided public opinion to denounce the invasion of Korea by the Japanese state. Today's Ming Dynasty has no good impression of the Wa Kingdom.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, he definitely wants this Wa country, but the matter of face is best solved properly, and there can be enough reasons to do it.

If the Wa State did not come to pay tribute and maintained the previous relationship, based on the previous public opinion, the Ming Dynasty would occupy the Wa State. But now that the Wa State has come, preparing a real tribute to bow his head and admit his mistakes, if the Ming Dynasty at this time preemptively captures the Wa State, it is estimated that there will be public opinion in the country that will sympathize with the Wa State. Although I am not afraid, it is better to avoid this situation!

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly had an idea, so he did it!

So, he told the cabinet all his thoughts, and then instructed them that when the time came, let Honglu Temple come forward.

When Wen Tiren, Sun Chengzong and others heard this, they couldn't help but admire the emperor's face-saving matter, and only the emperor often had unbelievable ideas to come up with such a countermeasure.

Then, a holy decree was handed down, allowing the envoys of the Japanese state to enter Beijing.

At the same time, however, news of the arrival of the Japanese envoy also spread in Gyeonggi. And under the guidance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang secretly, public opinion began to ferment.

So, when the envoy of the Wa Kingdom went all the way to the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, he was a little dumbfounded.
