Chapter 661 Blame Japan and order an apology
You may not know that there was a large number of pirates in the East China Sea in the past, they colluded with the Japanese people, and actually tried to attack the royal port of Lushun in a desperate and arrogant way, causing great losses to the local military and civilians! The Jinluan Hall was silent, only Zhengde's heartbroken voice was echoing. [No pop-up novel network]
"What's even more odious is that no one notified me in advance of such an important matter, and as a result, I was disgraced by these rebellions, which is the result of not being personally commanded by me! If I am here, how can I ......"
"Wow!" Whether they knew it or not, everyone looked up in amazement and couldn't suppress their exclamations.
To say that these old bureaucrats are deep in the city, Jiao Fang's complete unknowings are pure surprise, and he knows that the emperor doesn't care much about etiquette, so he exclaimed. This news is really shocking, that omnipotent champion Hou actually suffered a big loss at the hands of pirates? What kind of gods are those pirates?
But Wang Wei's insiders are very powerful, after a long drought and a rainy day, they have been waiting for so long, and the good news finally fell from the sky, and their hearts were filled with joy.
At such a time, they can turn their joy into surprise and shout out, which is not comparable to being in danger. This shows that they are free to control their emotions, and their EQ index must be at least above 2500 to reach such a level.
Wang Shouren's expression became more indifferent, a great loss? Your Majesty, do you mean the holes above the lightning net? Or is it the fright of the people of Lushun and the dangerous sea? There's got to be a limit to messing around, right?
The sympathy in Tang Bohu's eyes became even stronger, Wang Ge Lao, don't blame me for not reminding you, I have been hinting at you with my eyes for a long time, telling you to take it easy, why don't you listen? After a while, the emperor has had enough, and you will be bad.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to Lushun's losses? How is the aftermath going? "How can Wang Wei have time to pay attention to Tang Bohu, can he not let the joy pour out, his concentration is already amazing, in his eyes, Tang Bohu's eyes are clearly begging for mercy.
Now that the emperor has expressed his dissatisfaction, Xie Hong is likely to lose his holy favor, and it is when you are sick and want your life that Wang Wei is ready to cut off the other party's retreat directly from the root.
"Your Majesty, although it is not the full responsibility of the trilateral general system by accident, it is inevitable that he will not be able to catch it if he takes care of the three sides with the strength of one person, especially if he has to take care of the maritime affairs, which makes him even more lacking. The old minister thinks that it is better to send a capable member from the military department to clean up the pirates and clarify that maritime affairs should be in charge of the military department, so I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”
After that, he glanced at Lu Wan meaningfully, and there was a smug look in his eyes. In his heart, he was unwilling to pin his hopes on King Ning, and he didn't even agree with Yang Tinghe's plan.
You must know that once a war breaks out, the status of the warriors will decline sharply, and the status of the warriors will rise suddenly, although after the chaos is reversed, the scholars will regain the general trend. But who knows how long the war will last? Such as the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, followed by the Five Chaos of China? Or is it like the warlords at the end of the Tang Dynasty, five dynasties and ten kingdoms?
He is already old and does not want to see that kind of situation, if the war continues for decades, the Wang family may not even be able to be saved. Therefore, if there is a little hope, he will not think of doing those back-ups, that is just in case, once the fight starts, the situation will no longer be in the hands of the soldiers, out of control, it is very terrible.
The current situation is the best, that is, Xie Hong has lost his holy family, the emperor is still young, and his heart is undecided, and it is not impossible to change from one extreme to another.
Lu Wan was assigned to be in charge of maritime affairs, and after the mouth of the Jiangnan side was extinguished, he took advantage of this great work to straighten it out, and then put an end to Tianjin's economic resources and completely put things in order.
For a time, Wang Weizhi was complacent and looked down on the court.
"Oh?" Zhengde asked in surprise: "Scholar Wang, do you already know my maritime policy?" And, you know the whole thing? ”
"Huh? Lao Chen...... His Majesty ...... "Wang Wei is at a loss, maritime policy? Attacked by pirates, of course to suppress bandits, what else is there to think? And, the whole thing? What does this mean, Jiangnan's plan leaked? The emperor is annoyed and angry, in that case, I am afraid that he will have to use his back hand.
But the question is, Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? The old man finally discovered his mistake, and when talking to the current emperor, he must not be in a hurry, and he must not follow his train of thought, otherwise, he may not be taken to the ditch by his teleportation at any time, and his problem is that he is too anxious.
"Since Scholar Wang is willing to take responsibility, it would be great." Only then did he realize that it was too late, and that the strange person would not only misunderstand others, but also be very good at misinterpreting others, or rather, he would never pay attention to the meaning of others, but only understand the problem according to his own needs.
At the moment, Zhengde's behavior proved this, he nodded with satisfaction, and assigned the task by himself: "It is said that there are many Japanese people mixed in those pirates, and the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be the Japanese ......."
The more Wang Wei and the others listened, the more confused they became, and the murder in the name of the Japanese was not Xie Hong's original, but the creativity of the Jiangnan scholars, which was plagiarized by Xie Hong.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Japanese have been making waves from time to time, whether in terms of credibility or aftermath, it is much more convenient to use their name than to use the banner of the Xu brothers.
However, in this attack on Lushun, they also thought about this trick, but they just thought about it. The sea route to the Wa Kingdom was blocked, and it was not easy to recruit people for a while, although it was possible to bypass it from the Ryukyus, but many of the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom were surrendered by Xie Hong, and they were rushing to slap him.
As a result, the emperor suddenly mentioned it now, what does this mean? The emperor has never been known for being empathetic, right?
"Therefore, I decided to ask the king of Yuben, that is, the guy who claimed to be the emperor, and ordered him to come to Yanjing, to explain to me why he indulged the Japanese to come to Daming to make trouble, and at the same time, I also wanted him to apologize to the people of Daming who had died because of the Japanese invaders for so many years......"
After thinking about it, Zhengde continued: "In the end, do you want him to go to that title, Emperor? I am the son of the Great Tomorrow, and I am not embarrassed to call myself the emperor, how can the king of a mere island dare to call himself the emperor? Hmph, that's a shame. ”
"......" Wang Wei and the others were completely confused, where is this, why did it get to King Yuben all of a sudden? And, what about that emperor? There is such a person in the Wa country?
He turned his head and glanced at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhou Jing, who shook his head slightly, it is the Ministry of Rites that is in charge of diplomacy, but there are not many exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and the leaders of the Wa Kingdom are also called the king in the dossier.
The king of this book is a bit eccentric, and often changes people, not only people, but also different surnames, sometimes the surname is Ashikaga, sometimes the surname is Fujiwara, and sometimes the surname is Hosokawa...... According to the Ming Dynasty's point of view, it is said that the dynasty is often changed, and the king's surname has changed.
Anyway, it was a strange place, and it was set up by Emperor Taizu as a country not to be conquered, even if it was a Ministry of Rites specializing in foreign affairs, no one wanted to bother there, how could Zhou Jing know this at the beginning of his tenure?
Although he often makes oolongs, Xie Hong, a traverser, still has enough knowledge of the Wa Kingdom to be proud of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not uncommon for Zhengde, who is most influenced by him, to know the existence of the emperor.
Zhengde solemnly asked: "Scholar Wang, this matter will be handed over to you, the deadline, well, just let him arrive before the New Year, I am really generous, right?" ”
"......" Wang Wei was speechless, this is still generous? People say that the king is very innocent, and the minister is also innocent, wow, that's a king!
In this era, there is no such thing as a friendly visit, and there are only two situations in which the king of a country appears in the capital of another country and has to apologize and explain something. One is that the country is gone, and the king has either been captured or exiled; Either the country is about to die, and the king himself will do such a thing.
The Wa Kingdom, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have been very unruly, often blowing up thorns, until the treasure ship crosses to the east, which has been reined in. How could the king of such a country do such a thing so easily? What's more, it's still for a false charge.
Wang Wei has the heart to cry, don't talk about him, he doesn't even think that Xie Hong has this ability, although the Governor's Mansion is powerful, but after all, it is mainly to buy, not to press. Is the Wa Kingdom so easy to conquer? How great was Meng Yuan's power back then, didn't he return home in the end?
"Your Majesty, what happened to the rebellion of the Japanese still has to be discussed, and it seems that it is a little inappropriate to ask other countries for their crimes, and besides, the old minister is old, this matter of crossing to the east is ......" Wang Wei immediately refused.
It's impossible to complete this task, and it's a fool who should come down? He was even wondering if Zhengde was planning to take revenge on himself in a roundabout way, but this was nothing, it was a big deal to ask for Zhishibei, anyway, the Lushun problem had been solved, and his own merits were enough to go down in history.
"Don't worry, Scholar Wang, I haven't finished talking yet, I have evidence for the invasion of the Japanese invaders, well, the evidence is ironclad."
Zhengde waved his hand, interrupting a bunch of excuses that Wang Wei was babbling about, and then said angrily: "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know, those Japanese not only attacked Port Arthur and Weihaiwei, but also went to the south of the Yangtze River, broke through dozens of county seats, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, including the hometown of Wang Daxue, Wuxian County, Suzhou......"
