"It just doesn't make sense! Then Japan is obviously invading other countries, and now it dares to be so brazen?! A minister shouted after reading the recital.

It's just that these words didn't arouse too many people's echoes, most of them were contemplating, and after a while, they whispered to each other, while a few people simply stood aside in a daze with an attitude of indifference.

In this recital, Oda Yoshinobu is very long, first of all, he justifiably shows that Japan is an innocent victim from beginning to end, and emphasizes that they are very wronged because they are humiliated...... They were helpless and inexplicably humiliated...... They want to swallow their anger, even if they are severely humiliated......

In a word, the Korean state was a bully, a fox and a tiger, relying on its own surrender to the Ming State earlier, and completely ignoring Japan, which was also a subject of the Ming State. Not only did he humiliate Japan, but he was also ready to ride on his head as a prestige. And the reason why they sent troops was completely because they were forced to be helpless, as a last resort, and the crowd was excited, and if they did not send troops, the Oda family would not be able to gain a foothold in their own country at all, so they finally sent troops to the Korean state.

By the way, the report also mentions in a roundabout and very vague way that a large part of the reason why this is the case is because when the Ming Kingdom was humiliated in Japan, it did not show the fairness that the Ming Kingdom should have as the suzerain.

As for why he occupied most of the Korean country at once, Oda Yoshinobu said that he didn't know much about it, but just fighting, he suddenly found that most of the Korean country had been taken by them. At the same time, Oda Yoshinobu also mentioned that when they attacked Korea, many cities, counties and towns were surrendered to the news, and many of the Korean people even welcomed the Japanese troops.

Then, Oda Yoshinobu listed a large number of criminal evidence of the Joseon State, from using tribute to defraud the Ming State of finances with low-value items, to relying on the support of the Ming State to implement tyranny in the territory, and finally there was a large number of letters from the Northern Barbarians contacting the Korean State in the hope that they would cooperate with the Northern Barbarians attacking the Ming Kingdom, as well as letters from many ministers of the Korean State contacting the Northern Barbarians.

In the end, Oda Yoshinobu showed Japan's loyalty to the Ming Kingdom, and promised that as long as it was a reasonable request, it would obey the orders of the Ming State, such as sending troops to the Northern Barbarians to help the Ming Kingdom defend the border passes......

Well, if you need to find a word to describe this letter of Oda Yoshinobu, then I am afraid that the despicable and shameless obscene work is a little indescribable, because he not only completely blamed the Korean state for attacking the Korean state, but also pressed a lot of charges on the head of the Korean state.

But the question is...... But most of what Oda Yoshinobu said is still the truth. For example, the Korean state did humiliate the Japanese state, for example, the Jurchen or Tatar and other northern barbarians did win over or threaten the Korean state, for example, some ministers of the Korean state did have ties with the northern barbarians, for example, there were indeed various tyrannies in the DPRK.

Although it is not as exaggerated as Oda Yoshinobu said in the report, there is a yes, and no one can deny it. After all, it's one thing to exaggerate, it's another to make something out of nothing.

Speaking of which, it is basically impossible for the minister of the Ming Kingdom to find any flaws in this report, because this was personally studied by Oda Yoshinobu with Shigeharu Takenaka and Li Huamei, in order to minimize the dissatisfaction of the Ming State caused by the Japanese attack on Korea. If Ming Guo can give up sending troops, it will undoubtedly be the best.

For a long time, many ministers still failed to negotiate a clear result, and the reason is very simple, it is true that Korea has seriously humiliated Japan, and it is true that Ming, as the suzerain, has some dereliction of duty in this regard, so it is actually excusable for Japan to send troops to Korea.

In fact, if Japan only had some advantages on the battlefield, Ming would have been much easier to handle. One was humiliated, the other was attacked, and at that time, the Ming Kingdom could come forward as the suzerain, and each of them would fight fifty boards. It's just that the Korean state was directly pushed away by the Japanese state within 1 month, so if the Ming country wants to intervene again, it must be careful.

The reason is also very simple, two words, interests.

There can be no so-called friendship between countries, whether it is alliance or hostility, it is only because of interests. It's like between the Ming Kingdom and the Korean State, does the Ming Kingdom really care about the Korean State? It is impossible, because for the Ming State, with or without the existence of the Korean State, the interests of the Ming State will not suffer any loss.

And the reason why many ministers of the Ming Kingdom, including the Wanli Emperor, will be more biased towards Japan is the word interests. As the younger brother of the Ming Kingdom, the benefits that Japan can bring to the Ming Kingdom are incomparable to the Korean State in any way.

Whether it is a large supply of gold and silver, or to help Ming stabilize maritime security, what Japan can do, Korea cannot do. In fact, the impression of most of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Kingdom of Korea was just an obedient little brother.

Finally, it has to be said that Oda Yoshinobu took the initiative to help the Ming Kingdom fight against the Northern Barbarians, which made many people moved. The Northern Barbarians have always been a big trouble for the Central Plains Dynasty, and in order to guard against this enemy, the Ming State has to invest a lot of financial and material resources in the north every year. If a subject country can help, it will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the Ming State in the north.

Of course, even the young Wanli Emperor would not believe in Japan, not because of anything else, but because it was difficult for real trust between countries. But even if it was distrustful, it did not prevent the whole Ming Kingdom from being tempted by Oda Yoshinobu's proposal. Because they believe that Japan does not dare to deceive the Ming Kingdom, this is a self-confidence in their own strength. Even if Japan and the Northern Barbarians unite at that time, the Ming Kingdom will have nothing to fear.

In this case, the Ming court once again fell into a debate about whether to help or not tie up the Korean state, but this time, there were many more ministers who favored Japan. No way, who let all this be provoked by the North Korean state?

However, although the Ming court failed to make a decision on this matter, the Ming court did not miss a single thing that should be done. On the one hand, a large number of spies were dispatched to try to infiltrate the Korean country and the northern grasslands to listen to various intelligence, and on the other hand, the northern troops in Liaodong and Jimen began to mobilize frequently.

Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng and other ministers did not want war, but if it was unavoidable, then they had to ensure that it would end quickly when it began. They don't want to fight, but they never fear it.
