The next day, Zhang Juzheng, who came out of the palace, immediately set off for the mansion of Shoufu Xu Jie. After some greetings, Zhang Juzheng went straight to the point.
"Teacher, just yesterday, the Japanese envoy arrived in Beijing, and now the students have arranged for them to live in the Huitong Pavilion." Zhang Juzheng said respectfully.
"Oh? An envoy of Japan? Hehe, they're pretty well informed. Xu Jie chuckled when he heard this, "So, what did the envoys of Japan say?" ”
He said that he hoped for stable and long-term trade with the DPRK, but he also expressed regret over the rebellion of the pirates in the past, and promised that if a trade agreement could be reached, he would do his utmost to eliminate the pirates in Japanese waters. Zhang Juzheng said respectfully, "And he also said that although this dynasty is basically useless, if this dynasty needs help in dealing with the northern nomads in the future, they will also send troops to help." ”
"Oh? So what did the Japanese envoy really say? Xu Jie couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"But he said it himself!" Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice.
"Well, then tell me what you think~" When Xu Jie heard this, he casually picked up the teacup on the side and tasted it, as if he didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, for the Ming Kingdom, Japan or something is really not worth mentioning.
Although it is said that the Wako Rebellion harassed the coastal towns of the Ming Kingdom for decades, strictly speaking, this level of harassment was not at all insignificant to the Ming Kingdom. After all, no matter how powerful the Japanese are, they are only a few ronins and peasants who can't get along in the troubled times of Japan, plus a large number of merchants who are united by the inability to conduct maritime trade.
So no matter how much trouble those pirates made, Ming Guo's attention was never really on it. After all, compared to the Japanese Kou, there is an enemy around the Ming Kingdom that is even more of a headache for the Ming Kingdom.
Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said, "Teacher, the student thinks that this matter is worth thinking about carefully. Although the pirates had infested the coast of the DPRK for many years, in reality they never had the support of the real Japanese regime. They are supported by nothing more than some local forces in Japan. As you know, at this time, Japan was in the midst of civil strife, and the Japanese king had no way to control the world. ”
After speaking, seeing that Xu Jie didn't mean anything, Zhang Juzheng continued. So the students thought it would be better to agree to it. The advantage of this is threefold: first, the dynasty can obtain a large amount of gold and silver through trade with it, and as you know, Japan is rich in gold and silver. If stable trade could be carried out, it would be a huge income for the imperial court. ”
Hearing this, Xu Jie's attention, which had been on the teacup, finally shifted to Zhang Juzheng's body, "This is indeed a reason, what about the other two?" Xu Jie said with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said, "Second, although the Haikou Rebellion has gradually subsided, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not recur, after all, it has lasted for so many years, and it is impossible to eliminate it immediately." But how to trade with Japan, then they certainly don't want to see the sea uneven. In this way, the dynasty does not need to leave too many troops along the coast. ”
Hearing this, Xu Jie's expression suddenly became serious, "What do you mean......"
"Not bad! The third point is to take this opportunity to transfer the troops along the coast to the north! Zhang Juzheng said with a serious expression. The change of Gengxu is a great shame for this dynasty, the first emperor is still haunted before his death, although now this dynasty and the Tatar people have negotiated peace, but the capricious nature of the Tatar people has to be guarded against. ”
Hearing this, Xu Jie nodded and said, "Yes, the old man has always had such an idea, after all, the Haikou is just a minor illness, and the Tatars are the big trouble." In your opinion, if you want to transfer people from the south, who should you transfer them? ”
"Students recommend Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou! Teacher, Yu Dayou is a famous general of this dynasty, Qi Jiguang has also shown his military talent in the war to eliminate Haikou in these years! If the two of them can be transferred to the north and sent a general commander who knows how to make good use of people, he will definitely not let the Gengxu change reappear! Zhang Juzheng looked at Xu Jie and said in a deep voice.
"Qi Jiguang~ Well, he's a talent." Xu Jie groaned, "But that Yu Dayou is said to be in his 60s, can he do it?" Xu Jie asked with some confusion. Marching and fighting is no better than being an official in the court, and when you are old, it will always make people feel uneasy.
"The teacher forgot Lian Po Huang Zhong? Although Yu Dayou is old, he still kills Haikou and flees, and even if he has limited energy, he is more than enough to rub it as an assistant. Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said when he heard this.
"Hmm...... That's a good idea. Xu Jie groaned, his fingers lightly tapped on the table next to him, seeing this, Zhang Juzheng sat respectfully and waited.
After a long time, Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked in a deep voice, "You said that the Japanese envoy belongs to a certain force in Japan?" ”
"Not bad! According to him, he was the first important minister of the Oda family, which is now the most powerful force in Japan. Judging from his tone, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he unifies Japan. Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice.
"Well......" Xu Jie nodded when he heard this, and then said to Zhang Juzheng, "In that case, you go and negotiate with him, but there is one thing that is not negotiable, that is, if you want to trade, you must pay tribute to this dynasty!" Moreover, it must be guaranteed that there will be no more pirates invading the coast of the DPRK. As for the rest, you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, Xu Jie suddenly chuckled and looked at Zhang Juzheng and said meaningfully, "After the negotiation is completed, I will go to report to the Holy Lord and let him decide, but remember, they are begging us to ......."
"Students understand!" Zhang Juzheng nodded knowingly.
"Well, let's go down......" Xu Jie said with a wave of his hand.
After Zhang Juzheng left, Xu Jie reached out to touch the teacup, but found that the tea had already cooled. Shaking his head, he didn't let his subordinates bring another cup up, but stood up and stretched, looked at the sky outside the hall, and chuckled and said to himself, "Young man, I just have to fight hard~ It seems that I can't accept it anymore~"
But immediately, his face became gloomy, "It's just that now the saint is ...... Alas, I hope that my old bones can be retired......" Xu Jie sighed helplessly.
Back in his house, Zhang Juzheng did not immediately go to the Huitong Pavilion, but directly hung Oda Yoshinobu there. For three days, Zhang Juzheng didn't pay attention to Oda Yoshinobu, and didn't even send anyone to say anything to him, and it seemed that he had completely forgotten about it.
"Lord, that Zhang Juzheng's move is obviously to tell us that they don't care about this matter, if the lord is in a hurry, then they will naturally be able to change the conditions to their advantage." Shigeharu Takenaka said in a deep voice.
"Advantageous? What kind of conditions are good for them? Oda Yoshinobu asked curiously when he heard this.
"The subordinates think that it is estimated that it is still a matter of being a minister." Shigeharu Takenaka said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly said with some disdain, "It's really a shame to die, even if you are a minister, what can Ming Guo get?" "He couldn't understand in his life why some people were so face-conscious. Well, he and Oda Nobunaga are both consequentialist lords, and it doesn't matter if it's face or something.
"The Ming Kingdom prides itself on being the superior kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and always pays more attention to things in terms of face." Shigeharu Takenaka chuckled and said, "But my subordinates think that they may be trying to get some benefits from us by doing this." ”
"Hehe, do you want money? These princes and ministers, everywhere is a virtue~" Oda Yoshinobu heard this, and suddenly remembered the matter between him and Oda Nobunaga and those ministers before. How so? That's almost any request for money.
After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu chuckled, "Then leave them alone for the time being, they are not in a hurry, are we in a hurry?" It would take 1 or 2 months for Lilu to be able to take root in Ningbo. At that time, it doesn't matter whether the Ming State agrees to open up trade or not. ”
"The lord is wise!" Shigeharu Takenaka said respectfully.
"Haha~ Let's go, accompany me to see the prosperity of Kyoshi~ I hope that in many years, Osaka will be able to have this scale!" Yoshinobu Oda laughed.
"This ......" Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, "My lord, it's not easy to build to such a scale." ”
"Hehe, then it's up to you~ I just issue the order and wait for the result~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a rogue look.
"Your lord, ......" Shigeharu Takenaka was speechless when he heard this, what else could he think except to lament that there was such a hand-shaking shopkeeper on the stall?
That night, Zhang Juzheng Mansion.
"What? Did they leave the guild?! Where did it go?! Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he heard this, not because he was worried that Oda Yoshinobu and them would leave, but because he was worried that they had other intentions.
"This ......" came to report to a guard of the same hall, and when he heard Zhang Juzheng's questioning, he immediately stammered and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Ask you! Where the hell did it go?! Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng asked sharply.
"My lord, the Japanese envoy took his men to the Spring Festival Tower." The guard saw that Zhang Juzheng was angry, and hurriedly said.
"Gone to visit the Qinglou?!" When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he almost didn't catch his breath.
