Luan Tingyu opened his mouth and said: "Tell Your Majesty, last month, the Southern Wa Kingdom and the Northern Wa Kingdom started a big battle in the Chiyoda area of the Kanto Plain, and the Southern Wa suddenly crossed the river at the ancient river to attack the flank of the Northern Wa, and the Northern Wa army has retreated to the Fukushima and Changgang areas to defend, according to the plan originally formulated by Your Majesty, we have adjusted it, and invited the kings of the Northern and Southern Wa Kingdoms to come here. ”

Zhang San nodded and said: "In this way, the north has basically lost the Kanto Plain now, so I'm afraid it will be more difficult to launch a counterattack against the south in the future?" ”

Luan Tingyu nodded and said: "At present, due to the restrictions of the treaty, the strength of the two sides is still equal, but most of the soldiers in the north are newly recruited, while the south is veterans, and it is difficult to resist for a while, but as long as we delay for two or three months, I believe that the war will enter the stalemate again." ”

Zhang San nodded and asked, "How did you proceed with the currency war plan formulated by the General Staff?" ”

Luan Tingyu nodded and said: "I am following the plan of the General Staff, the first is to order the Ryukyu merchants to use Ryukyu currency for future trade settlement, and the second is that the arms trade with the Japanese can only be settled with gold and silver and Ryukyu copper coins, and at the same time, the bank has also opened the business of exchanging gold and silver for Ryukyu currency." ”

Zhang San nodded and said, "En! You're doing a great job. ”

This time the vigorous promotion of the Ryukyu copper dollar in the Wa Kingdom was also an experiment of Zhang San's financial theory, to see how feasible the plan of plundering the enemy country with copper coins was, Zhang San was more concerned about the development of Iwami Silver Mountain in addition to this.

When Zhang San asked, Luan Tingyu nodded and said: "According to your request, a hundred miles near Iwami Silver Mountain has been designated as a mining area, and the recruited Japanese craftsmen and slaves transported from the south have been mined in advance, and the smelting technicians have also been in place to start building a smelting furnace, and it is expected that a large amount of gold and silver will be produced within three months." ”

Zhang San nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What is the attitude of the north and south of the Japanese kingdom towards this mediation in the Ryukyus?" ”

Luan Tingyu thought about it and said, "I'm afraid I dare to be angry and dare not speak!" ”

Zhang San laughed when he heard it: "I just like this attitude!" ”

The two talked about some other things that night, and the intelligence department finally sent what Zhang San wanted, Zhang San browsed it and said, "Okay, it's enough to have this!" ”

Recently, in order to improve the production efficiency of farmland, Ryukyu has been working hard to purchase cattle and horses, not only in the Great Song Dynasty, but also in the Goryeo Wa Kingdom, South Vietnam and North Vietnam.

The people of Goryeo have always been self-exalted, and they have never heard the name of the Ryukyu Kingdom before, and this time they heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom fought with the Song Kingdom and took the initiative to retreat and became a vassal of the Song State, which made Goryeo even more despised.

Goryeo is a vassal state of Liao, and in the eyes of Goryeo, Song is also a vassal state of Liao, so in the eyes of Goryeo, he is the same as Song, and Ryukyu is willing to be a vassal of Song, so it must be one level lower than Goryeo.

At the beginning of this year, a businessman from the Ryukyu Logistics Department went to Goryeo to buy cattle, and the Goryeo native Park In-moong, who was originally a gangster in Incheon Province, Goryeo, saw this opportunity, so he pulled the sick cattle bought from the cattle store at a low price and sold them to the Ryukyu logistics merchants at shoddy quality.

After the completion of the delivery, the Ryukyu merchant found that there was a problem with the cattle, so he asked to return the cattle, but Park Renmeng naturally did not do it, and the two sued the government together, and the lord of the official mansion was a distant relative of Park Renmeng, seeing that it was a foreign businessman, not only did not return the cattle money of the Ryukyu merchants, but also confiscated the cattle and money on the grounds that the Ryukyu merchants traded cattle privately.

Ryukyu diplomats have repeatedly complained to the other party's yamen about this matter, but the Goryeo officials have ignored it at all, and such an ordinary matter has now become an excuse in Zhang San's hands.

Zhang San thought about it and said: "You order the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to submit the credentials directly to Goryeo, first, to punish Park In-meng for selling sick cattle, second, to deal with the officials involved in this matter and compensate for the losses of the Ryukyus, and third, to ask the whole Goryeo not to obstruct the normal trade of the Ryukyus without reason, and to demand that Goryeo apologize for this matter." ”

Luan Tingyu was on the side, and when he heard this, he asked, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this Goryeo won't agree, right?" ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "I just want him to disagree, and then we give them an ultimatum, so that we can have a reason to beat them!" ”

Luan Tingyu looked at Zhang San strangely, when he fought the Japanese Kingdom in the past, it wasn't so complicated, he just fought first and then thought of a reason? Zhang San also knew what Luan Tingyu meant, and explained: "Today is different from the past, now we are a regular country, and we must have a reason to fight in the future to prove that our war is just." ”

The next day, Zhang San invited both the north and the south of the country to review the garrison of Ryukyu Town and the Japanese island, and the two naturally did not dare to underestimate this force that had left a deep impression on the two countries, and the two countries naturally had their own sources for the renewal of Ryukyu weapons.

Therefore, both sides were very worried when they saw that Ryukyu had gathered tens of thousands of powerful troops on Zhenwei Island, so the two of them trembled when they participated in the review, for fear that Zhang San would give them a Hongmen banquet, and ordered the left and right guards to take down the two.

Originally, Zhang San wanted to scare them, and then let them both stop and rest for a while, but because they were going to start a war against Korea, Zhang San changed his mind.

That's right, Zhang San thought of a good way, the last time the Ryukyus were in war against the Japanese Kingdom, because the looting was too indulgent, which led to the decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops, so Zhang San had the idea of organizing a vassal army.

Isn't this a good opportunity? There are many advantages to using the soldiers of the Japanese State to make Goryeo, the first is that it can prevent the rebellion of the Japanese State, and take away 30,000 soldiers from both sides, and the remaining people will still rebel.

The second can also solve the problem of insufficient combat power of recruits in the north, and the lack of combat power will pull Goryeo to practice, and will he be a veteran soon after he returns? At that time, the military strength of the north and the south will be balanced again, and they will be able to fight a war again.

The third is to use the Japanese to rob, and the province will do it by itself, and there is no need to worry about their own soldiers being red because of the robbery, and when the time comes, the discipline will decline, as long as a certain proportion of the income is increased from the Japanese soldiers.

The fourth is to add a little blockage to the two countries, although the two countries are feuding, but Zhang San doesn't mind making the hatred between the two sides deeper, this is a long-term strategic plan, and when he repairs the Japanese state, he can also let Goryeo send troops to fight, so that the hatred will soon be deeper?

The fifth is that although Zhang San looks down on the soldiers of the Japanese State, the number of tens of thousands of people is still somewhat useful, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers is not much worse than that of the Goryeo soldiers, and the more these 60,000 people, the more Zhang San can do.
