Nearly 2,000 Japanese ronins quietly attacked the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Almost all the soldiers of a guard post were killed in battle, and the commander Liu Pengju died on the spot.
The Japanese slaves not only looted the people along the way, but also broke through more than a dozen salt farms along the sea, causing thousands of casualties.
Salt production is a labor-intensive industry, and not only are there strong men who do all kinds of work in the salt works, but also their wives and children generally live there.
These old and weak were not spared, and they were all killed by the Japanese slaves.
Fresh/blood stained dozens of miles of nearby roads.
The village was no longer inhabited, and some were just densely packed with corpses.
His behavior is simply mad and outrageous!
This is a shame that has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
When the news reached Yingtianfu, the secretary of the military department did not dare to slack off, wrote an excerpt overnight, and ordered a special person to send it to the capital.
Change horses and don't change people, day and night to the direction of Shuntianfu!
The whole world was shaken.
Thousands of people were slaughtered, 2,000 troops were killed, and half of the southern part of the Ming Dynasty was in chaos!
There are tens of thousands of people involved, which family has no relatives who have been killed, and which family has not had friends who have been slaughtered?
Revenge, revenge!
The Nanjing Military Department was unprecedentedly lively, and countless people came to sign up to join the army.
Good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers. But at this moment, this taboo was broken.
In the face of national hatred and family hatred, all personal interests must give way.
The rich people were shaken, and there were no small families who could open salt works, and the long workers who were busy in the salt works all day long established a deep relationship with them.
All they can do is donate money to the imperial court, and try to send troops as soon as possible to exterminate this group of pirates!
The Lu family also moved, and their keen business acumen made them quickly recognize the reality, and for those of them who walked in the dark, it was an opportunity.
The sea ban can also be lifted.
For more than 100 years, overseas trade has been monopolized by a few families, who have gained great wealth but have always lived a life of fear.
The walker in the dark is eager for light, and the Lu family is also patriotic.
The merchants spontaneously joined together, and a petition was delivered directly to the hands of Shangshu of the Nan/Beijing Military Department. The signatures are all family members of famous families: as long as the imperial court is willing to send troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese who are wandering in the Daming Sea, and ask for people to give people and money to money, the children of Jiangnan are not ambiguous.
When the messenger went to the capital, the news of the Ming Dynasty's blatant invasion of the Ming Dynasty also spread to all directions with great speed.
King Ning was excited, if the emperor couldn't protect the great rivers and mountains of the Zhu family, he was willing to do it for him!
It was really a cry of joy, and the king of Touning, who had invaded the territory through the Japanese slaves, actually asked for the restoration of the guards that had been retrenched.
"Lord Wang, think twice!". The strategists have persuaded one after another, now that the world is peaceful, it is really not the time to challenge the emperor!
"I can't control it so much, if I don't do anything all the time, when will I have to wait until I want to win the world!" The young King Ning let out a wail when he looked up to the sky, and King Ning had been dormant for too long, and he didn't want to wait any longer.
A chapter excerpt of King Ning was passed to the capital, followed by 300,000 taels of silver.
He was willing to share the king's worries, and the money would be used to finance the war against the Japanese slaves.
In addition to King Ning, the other ministers were also shaken.
At the moment of receiving the news, all the feudal officials did one thing in unison: to write to the emperor to make a statement.
Mossy has grown into a cancer, and it's time to get rid of it.
What made them even more angry was the border army in the northwest.
They have the responsibility of defending the land, and even the troubles in the south of the Yangtze River have entered their eyes.
One after another, these usually unruly men even bypassed their immediate superiors and used various methods to send the excerpts directly to the imperial case.
When the messenger came to the capital, he was already sleepy, and in desperation, he could only find a tea stall to rest for a while.
The shopkeeper was chatting with the messenger and asked for shocking news.
The news of the Japanese slave attack on the Ming Dynasty spread far and wide, and half a day later, women and children already knew about it.
The first to rise up was a group of readers.
When the news reached Taixue, the students stopped on the spot and took to the streets despite the dissuasion of several professors.
Stir up the text, and the dung was ten thousand households in the year.
Outside the palace gate, the whole street was full of kneeling students, and if the emperor did not give a satisfactory answer, they would not get up until they knelt to death!
Other strata also took action, and the capital was thunderous.
The emperor had a problem, and so did all the ministers.
When you are attacked, is it a grievance, or a hard blow? Is the precept of the ancestors important or the people of the world important?
The ministers were quickly divided into two factions: one faction advocated self-protection and would be able to do a good job of defense work in the future, and the other faction advocated sending troops to the Japanese invaders. Let them understand the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty.
Not only in the court, but also in the cabinet, the boss is smoky, and the two factions quarrel as soon as they meet. There are also different opinions on how to deal with the Japanese elders.
All of a sudden, everyone was arguing. The whole capital was in chaos.
The emperor was completely disappointed, and the ruler of the world, whom he relied on, was at a loss when faced with a thorny matter.
He was a little angry, did he think about such a simple thing again?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the early Ming Dynasty, the Japanese have always threatened the security of the southeastern region.
The invincible Mongols once swept across Eurasia, conquering everything and winning the war. But the two invasions of Japan were met with heavy defeats.
The Mongol attack on Japan was caused by Japan's refusal to submit to the Mongol Empire. Kublai Khan sent envoys to Japan several times to demand tribute, and the king of Goryeo also sent a letter to the Japanese asking them to submit to the Mongols, but each time the Japanese contemptuously rejected Kublai Khan's demands. In the face of such an offense, the Mongol Great Khan, who ruled the world, of course, could not tolerate it, and resolutely launched two large-scale wars of aggression against Japan.
But the outcome of both wars ended in the defeat of the Yuan dynasty.
Is the growing rampant of Japanese slavery related to these two wars? Is it because of the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty that he is arrogant?
I am not a Mengyuan, and I will not let the Japanese slaves come!
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists, and he made an astonishing decision.
A central decree was issued: From now on, the sea ban will be lifted, and the southeastern coastal areas can organize their own group exercises to fight against the Japanese invaders, and after the Japanese plague is eliminated, they will be rewarded for meritorious deeds.
Among them, those who have made great contributions can be awarded regular military positions, and official positions can be hereditary!
After the decree was issued, the cabinet was closed, and there was no vote, and the emperor directly approved the red. I'm sorry, this can only be regarded as your personal letter from the emperor, not an official government document.
And the emperor issued a holy decree without consulting the cabinet, which is obviously distrust and even contempt for the cabinet.
All the ministers unanimously protested and demanded that the emperor draft a new decree and submit it to the cabinet for review!
