The Ming Dynasty is definitely not defenseless against Japan, in fact, the Ming Dynasty is not ignorant of Japan's imminent military war, a war involving hundreds of thousands of troops from three countries, even in modern society, it is difficult to hide it to death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, before the war, many merchants who traveled between China and Japan used the name of business to bring back the news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was about to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, which the patriots living in Japan had painstakingly gathered.

Xu Yihou, Guo Guoan, Zhu Junwang, Chen Shen, Su Ba, we may never have heard these names, but we must not forget them, although they were lost in Japan, they never forgot that they were the Han Miao descendants of the Ming Dynasty.

The precious information they sent back with enthusiasm and loyalty was more accurate and timely than that of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty's professional organization, and it was this information that made the Ming have sufficient psychological and material preparations for the fact that Japan was about to start a war.

It can be seen from the fact that the Ming Military Department issued two official documents to the coastal officials in Shandong, Zhejiang, and Fujian within three months of the nineteenth year of Wanli, and it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty definitely did not believe that Japan would launch an attack, but the Ming Dynasty did not expect that Japan would choose Korea as a springboard to attack.

When we talk about Japan, everyone immediately thinks of the Japanese invaders, immediately thinks of the Japanese invaders from the sea, and immediately thinks of the Japanese invaders from the sea, and reminds of the southern Japanese and northern captives of the year.

Not long after the time passed, the memory of the coastal people had not disappeared, the alarm came again, from the governor to the people of Li all prepared and prepared for the worst, Zhejiang, Fujian and other coastal areas immediately made intensive preparations to build warships to fight against the Japanese invaders, and the naval soldiers practiced day by day, vowing to wipe out the Japanese from the country and protect the land behind them.

Throughout the second half of the 19th year of Wanli until now, the coastal areas of Shandong, Zhejiang, and Fujian have prepared a sea force that will kill Japan in the future.

At that time, the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty also considered this matter quite carefully, for example, the cabinet ministers thought that the ambitions of Japanese wolves were well known, which was not surprising.

However, the Ryukyus and the coastal merchants kept warning that Korea was the eastern barrier of China, but there was no news at all, and it stands to reason that Korea was the closest to Japan, so it should have been the first to know, so why has there been no news at all so far?

In the second half of the 19th year of Wanli, the suspicion and malice of the Ming Dynasty towards Korea reached its peak.

Is North Korea really colluding with Japan?

In the cabinet at that time, only Xu Guo insisted that North Korea had always been friendly to the Ming Dynasty, obeyed the will of the Ming Dynasty in everything, and had never violated it, so how could he suddenly rebel against the Ming Dynasty?

It's not scientific.

However, most of the officials were extremely worried about this, and Xu Guo could not ignore everyone's opinions, so he wrote a letter to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, asking the Liaodong Metropolitan Division to ask what was going on with the Koreans.

In fact, there are two kinds of rumors about Japan's imminent war, one is widely circulated in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is that the Japanese invaded Liaodong with Korea, so during that period, the news that Korea was about to join Japan to invade the Ming Dynasty was circulating throughout Liaodong, which made the Han people in the entire Liaodong land shocked and angry.

North Korea is obviously not unaware, after the Liaodong Metropolitan Division wrote the inquiry into a stern question, the North Koreans panicked, and hurriedly sent people to the capital to defend the accusations again and again, and even argued in front of Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun soothed the North Korean envoys with a smile at that time, expressed his disgust with Japan, and then put forward an opinion that almost didn't make North Korea faint - I have found two helpers for you, and the three of you will join forces to destroy Japan!

As soon as the Korean envoy asked, he was even more dizzy, one is Ryukyu and the other is Siam, not to mention Ryukyu, what can a soldier do? Siam is quite strong, and firearms technology is also available, but Siam is in Southeast Asia, and you want them to come across the entire Ming Dynasty to help in the war? The North Koreans were perfunctory, Zhu Yijun was also a whim, and North Korea didn't take it seriously afterwards, so it was naturally impossible for the Ming Dynasty to shed blood for North Korea.

North Korea didn't take it seriously, but the Ming Dynasty couldn't take it seriously, North Korea had been peaceful for a long time, and most of the areas were swordsman's knife into Kuma to put Nanshan, but the Ming Dynasty never relaxed, and soon after the end of the Japanese rebellion, the Ming Dynasty still maintained a strong vigilance and hostility towards Japan, and the entire coastal area was in full swing to prepare for war.

Under such an undercurrent atmosphere, Xiao Ruxun arrived in the capital on the seventh day of June.

Along the way, the Ningxia heroes heard some rumors, which were actually related to North Korea and Japan, and rumors such as North Korea uniting with Japan to plot against the Ming Dynasty were rampant, which made Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen uneasy day and night, and asked Xiao Ruxun to discuss carefully - is it that in addition to Ningxia, there is also an accident on the North Korean side? Otherwise, why is there so much gossip?

The answer is yes, but Xiao Ruxun won't say it, he can only speculate that there is no groundless news in the world, since there is this rumor, it proves that there must be something related to happen, for this, Xiao Ruxun will not say it to death, think about it carefully, but find a way of life for Ye Mengxiong.

Can you operate for Ye Mengxiong, make him the commander of the anti-Japanese aid Korea, and cooperate with himself again?

Although he knew that the probability of this was very low, Xiao Ruxun was unwilling to give up this only possibility that could save Ye Mengxiong's future was not very good.

In addition, Xiao Ruxun's biggest worry about entering Beijing this time is the cheap dad Xiao Wenkui who is a general in Beijing, after all, the cheap dad himself has not seen it, if he really sees it, if he says something secret, he doesn't know, how can it be good if he is exposed?

However, because the convoy arrived at the time of sunset, the gate of the capital division was quickly closed, and after nightfall, nothing could be done today, so the government arranged to stay and wait for the emperor to summon him.

Xiao Ruxun also wanted to go to see the cheap dad first, but only to know that according to the rules, meritorious ministers can't move around at will before meeting the emperor, and they can only move freely after waiting for the emperor's reward to be issued, so they can only live in the post house honestly now, and they can't do anything, Xiao Ruxun originally wanted Yang Caiyun to go to see his father first, but Yang Caiyun said that he wanted to accompany Xiao Ruxun back, so he didn't go to see the cheap dad first.

With his wife by his side, Xiao Ruxun did not feel lonely, exchanged feelings, in the dead of night, his beloved wife had already slept, Xiao Ruxun was full of emotions, walked out of the house, and went to the yard to look at the starry night sky.

Every time I think that this prosperity will fall into the hands of outsiders in another fifty years, I can't help but worry, and when I am thinking about how to deal with the big salt merchant and Xiaoice River, there are bursts of footsteps behind me, or footsteps that are not deliberately hidden.

Xiao Ruxun looked back and saw an old man with a white face and two people with knives in brocade robes pushed open the gate of the post house, walked to the courtyard under the leadership of a post house official, and then stood in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Ruxun asked with some doubts and vigilance, the sudden appearance of these people made Xiao Ruxun very alert, in the dead of night, three people suddenly appeared to the Jingshi Station, what is the situation? Moreover, their outfit seems to be a bit similar to the legendary Jinyi Guard...... Wrong! This is the outfit of the Jinyiwei, right?!

"Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect you to fall asleep so late, but it also saved a lot of trouble, please come with the old slave, someone wants to see you."

The white-faced bearded old man had a slight smile on his face, which made Xiao Ruxun stunned on the spot.

Jinyi Wei ...... Old Slave ...... No need to ......

The three clues are linked, and the identity of the one who wants to see him is needless to say.
