The topic in the Qianqing Palace has been completely distorted, but the topic of Li Mansion has not changed, Li Zhaoxian's interpretation is a paraphrase after all, and Li Dongyang's ability to understand new things is not as good as Zhengde, so the father and son discussed for more than an hour before they sorted things out. 【Reading.com】

"In this way, for the Japanese country, these twenty-one articles are not only not a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but a noose around the neck!" Li Dongyang has been calculated by Xie Hong many times, but this is the first time he has seen such a grand conspiracy, and he once again held the scroll in his hand, only to feel that it weighed a thousand catties.

Every time he thought about the subtleties, he was palpitating, and without waiting for his son to answer, he just murmured in his mouth: "Don't say that the Japanese can't detect it, even if someone tells the truth, they may not believe it, and even if they believe it, they may not retreat, after all, even if the country collapses, those people still have a way to stay out of it, the green hat, the immigration policy ......"

As he spoke, he shook his head gloomily, looking at the morning sun that had risen to mid-air, and suddenly felt that the sun was so brilliant and dazzling, he sighed: "It's not wronged to lose, it's really not wrong, that Lord Xie's understanding of politics and people's hearts is comparable to those legendary characters, Ganluo is thirteen for the phase, and everyone in the world praises it, but this adult, alas, is amazing, it's really amazing!" ”

When Li Dongyang sighed, Li Zhaoxian had been waiting quietly beside him, he knew that his father didn't need to answer, but he just wanted to vent some emotions.

used to call for wind and rain in Wenyuan Pavilion, but now it has become a white body of loss; The leader Shilin, in the end, lost the pain of the last position; In the unprecedented changes, there is no choice but to retreat. All kinds of emotions are mixed together, and Li Dongyang's mood is far from being as calm as it appears today.

With emotion, Li Dongyang also kept flipping through the scroll in his hand, and when he turned to the last page, he suddenly pointed to the last entry and asked: "Zhaoxian, this last article, the so-called Ming Dynasty recruited ronins in the name of the king of the Wa Kingdom, what does this mean?" ”

"It's called a mercenary." Li Zhaoxian was selected to be the head of the promotion department, in addition to his economic attainments, his understanding of the customs and customs of the Japanese country was also part of the factor.

Li Gongzi and Tang Bohu and Zhang Cai have similar hobbies, and the Fengyue places in the capital are full of widows. After all, in this business, widows have innate advantages, and the original girls in the capital have begun to transform into the entertainment industry, and they have completely let go of the pure Fengyue field.

The language talents of the Japanese women are high and low, and although they are also studying hard, the time is still short, and the achievements are not obvious. If there is an obstacle in communication, it will naturally affect the interest, these two principals and one student are all talented people, and they know the principle of self-reliance.

Therefore, in the process of mixing in the Qinglou, Li Gongzi not only learned to speak fluent Japanese, but also had a considerable understanding of the Japanese country through the mouths of all the Japanese women.

"In the second year of Zhengde, Hou Ye went out to Liaodong, and then went to the sea to cross to the east, when there were only ten ships and no more than three hundred soldiers...... However, it was with such a seemingly meager force that Hou Ye defeated the Korean naval army, incorporated it, and then used it to conquer the five islands, set up the governor's palace, and attacked the maritime merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, thus laying the direction of the situation in the East China Sea. ”

These things were originally military secrets, and the details were not known, and only after the overall situation had been decided, did they be completely released. Li Dongyang has also heard some rumors piecemeal, but what he has heard is, of course, not as complete as Li Zhaoxian's understanding, in terms of formal establishment, the latter is already the head of the Governor's Office and the financial department of the Japanese Dynasty.

"In this process, it is the overseas colonial army that plays a crucial role." Speaking of Xie Hong's deeds back then, Li Zhaoxian also looked leisurely and fascinated, and now the folk are saying that the name of Hou Ye, the champion Hou, is really appropriate, although the Ming Dynasty has not yet expanded to the north, but the expansion on the sea, how much is the difference between it and Feng Wolf Juxu?

Born between heaven and earth, a man's ambition should be ambitious, is there anything more exciting than driving the country and expanding the territory?

"The Japanese people are brave and ruthless, not afraid of death, and fully possess the qualities of a colonial army. Those ronins are the samurai of the families of the princes who were defeated in the Japanese civil war, as a samurai, these people's original identity is almost equivalent to the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and they have quite a lot of privileges, such as they can kill people in the street or something......"

Listening to this analogy, Li Dongyang was a little depressed, but it was difficult to refute. Although the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not as rude as the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, the privileges they possessed were not under the other party, and they only changed their names, but the essence was the same.

"Even if they don't have a livelihood, these people don't want to go into agriculture and business, because it would make them lose their status as samurai, and they have to wander around looking for a chance to become a leader again. It is said that the princes are all in a civil war, and these people can cut and kill, so it should be easy to find an opportunity, but in fact, it is not, because the princes of the Wa Kingdom are very poor, and they must be careful to recruit samurai. ”

In the wars of the Wa Kingdom, in terms of combat power, the samurai were the backbone; Quantitatively speaking, the ashigaru, that is, the peasant soldiers, is the main force. For the daimyos, the samurai were a purely expensive commodity, and not only did they not make any profit from raising them, but they also had to pay a large sum of money.

In contrast, the surname price ratio of Ashigaru is much higher, usually a peasant, fighting is a soldier, although the combat effectiveness is a little worse, but the victory is in a large number, and it is not very distressing to die. To a certain extent, the military system of the Wa State is similar to the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.

"So, where are these people going......" Li Dongyang has such experience, after listening to a few words, he already has a complete concept of the ronin, which is nothing more than whether he can go up or down, and the Ming scholars are the same, in fact, the two are even in similar circumstances.

"Nanyang." Li Zhaoxian's answer was not what Li Dongyang expected.

Take the family as the precursor to carry out the strategy; disseminate culture through traditional readers; In the end, the colonial army was used as a blade to kill, provoke or expand the contradictions between local countries, and finally catch all the nets in the palm of his hand, this is the whole picture of Xie Hong's overseas plan.

"Zhaoxian," Li Dongyang was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating about something, and after a while, he raised his head as if he had made up his mind, and asked, "In your opinion, did Lord Xie send the traditional scholars overseas, did he send them into exile, intending to kill people with the sword of the natives?" Or will Confucianism and Taoism be revived overseas? If so......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, he felt very strange, Xie Hong had killed all the literati in the past, and from this, he inferred that the previous inference was correct. However, cultural dissemination is also an indispensable part of the overall strategy, and unless Xie Hong intends to kill all the locals, he must find a way to win over the hearts and minds of the people.

However, in that case, even if it is only education, the strategy of the literati may not be impossible to seek a comeback. But Li Dongyang couldn't believe that Xie Hong would leave such a loophole for others to exploit, that was not his style.

"Specific ......" Li Zhaoxian couldn't answer. He only knew the general situation of the Nanyang strategy, and the governor's palace had a fairly complete system, and it was impossible for the literati to make much trouble, but he did not know much about the specific details, after all, he was not a staff officer specializing in strategy, and he did not participate in these plans.

"In short, you just need to know that the emperor is benevolent and does not mean to kill them all, Confucianism is the study of China, and the Hou Ye is also very respected, but he has taken the wrong path before and needs to be readjusted. By participating in overseas development, Confucianism will complete the transformation from the chaff to the good, and then re-establish itself in the Ming Dynasty and the world's academic circles with a new attitude, of course, alongside other academics. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes were like torches, he looked at his son very seriously, and asked word by word: "Is this true?" ”

"A child does not dare to deceive his father." Li Zhaoxian responded calmly: "The academy has already moved, Hou Ye intends to merge the Hanlin Academy into the academy, renamed Confucianism, and may have to separate an archaeological college in the future, Hou Ye said this: as long as it is not involved in politics and monopoly, Confucianism is a good thing." ”

"That being the case, then I'm relieved......" From his son's expression, there was no trace of falsification, Li Dongyang took a long breath, slowly fell back to the left, leaned on the back of the chair a little weakly, and his voice was low.

Gently pushing the scroll in front of him, the former cabinet chief assistant said lightly: "Go, the next thing is the era of you young people." ”

"The boy is gone." After receiving the national credentials, Li Zhaoxian's mood was a little heavy, but more excited. What he has in his hands is nothing more than an insignificant volume of diplomatic documents, but at this moment, it seems to herald the turn of history and the advent of a new era.

On this day, in the capital, the Japanese court headed by Katsuhito signed a white paper on friendship between the Ming and Japanese people, which had a total of 21 articles, covering many fields such as politics, economy, and military.

At the signing ceremony, the two sides had cordial and friendly consultations, and then held a celebratory banquet, after the banquet, the new director of the Ming Dynasty, Li Gongzi, invited guests, and carried out a carnival, no matter from which point of view, it was a happy situation.

At this time, no one knew what far-reaching impact these 21 articles would have on the Japanese kingdom, and how many people of insight in later generations would regret it and weep bitterly.

Because the treaty was signed in the Qinglou in Dongfang, which is famous for its hot ** performance, this treaty also has another name, namely: Dongre Treaty.
