0251 Boudoir Calculation
When Yang Ling heard Huo Ran's expression, he hurriedly said: "With such a major news, can the sailor make all preparations?" ”
Cheng Qiyun said: "Don't worry, my lord, the news has been reported to the command and envoy at the same time. This year, they fled in a hurry under the blows of the Ouchi and Hosokawa families, more than half a month earlier than in previous years, and their preparations must not be sufficient, and at the same time, they did not have time to contact the details hidden in the Ming Dynasty, and they had to stop on the island halfway, and the actual attack was still about the same time as in previous years."
Yang Ling listened for a while, he pondered for a while, nodded, and shook his head again: "This year is different from previous years, it is said that the country is suppressing the Kou, and the Japanese Kou know each other between their own country and the Daimyo, and it is difficult to hide their whereabouts. However, their fleet cannot live permanently on our land, so they need to find a reliable stop and supply point at sea."
Yang Ling stood up, pacing slowly with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, and he didn't know what to think. Cheng Qiyun followed his figure with a pair of bright eyes, implying a slight smile.
When Cheng Qiyun and Yang Ling first interacted, she tried her best to show her intelligence and skills, just to attract Yang Ling's attention, but she didn't believe that there would be a man who liked a strong woman who was a little smarter than him everywhere.
Now that she feels that Yang Ling seems to have an indescribable hazy affection for herself, Cheng Qiyun is full of joy, she doesn't want to destroy the image she has created in Yang Ling's heart, so she wants to hide it and let her beloved little lover show her face.
Unexpectedly, this benevolent brother was like a grinder, the circle became smaller and smaller, his brows were wrinkled deeper and deeper, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Cheng Qiyun's heart softened, she couldn't bear to let him bother anymore, and was about to say her own plan, Yang Ling suddenly stopped, and said word for word: "You wrote it down!" ”。
Cheng Qiyun's eyes showed a hint of amusement, she got up according to her words, walked to the bookcase, lifted the ivory old Arhat bamboo pen and dipped it in ink, rolled up the red sleeve with her left hand, the jade tube on her right wrist was suspended, the tip of the pen touched the snow-white paper, and said with a smile: "My lord, please speak!" ”
Her long ink-like hair fell down her shoulders, lined with a beautiful face, and the red candle reflected a layer of brilliance on her beautiful face and hair, and the soft silhouette was half-light and half-dark, and the mysterious atmosphere was a moment of bookishness, ink, and beauty, which reflected the antique fragrance of each other.
It's a pity that Yang Ling looked up at the sky, but he didn't pay attention to this moving scene, he thought about it: "The Japanese are here, and the attack may not be Jiangnan. The Daming Sea Line is too long, so I am afraid that the Japanese will avoid my sailors and attack the people, in fact, they have always done this.
This time, the Japanese invaders have lost their native roots, and they will need to loot a lot of goods in order to build a base on the island, and the means will be ten times more tragic than in the past.
Qiyun, the news of the attack of the Japanese invaders, Ming said that the military post quickly reported to the military department early in the morning, and submitted a secret letter to the emperor. At the same time, the officers and men of the 58 guards and 89 institutes in Liaodong, Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and other places should be on strict alert, patrol at sea and patrol on land, and mobilize the people to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the gap to sneak attack and injure the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Cheng Qiyun walked the dragon and snake, waved the book, and a beautiful line of grass jumped on the paper.
After listening to Yang Ling, Cheng Qiyun gestured, rolled her eyes and said, "My lord, is there anything else?" ”
Yang Ling said: "It is also necessary to send people to warn Korea, Ryukyu, and Luzon, in case the desperate Japanese invade their place as a stronghold, and if the military strength of North Korea and Luzon can get the news and prepare early, it will not be difficult to deal with the Japanese invaders."
I'm only worried about Ryukyu now, the Ryukyu country is small and weak, and the Japanese have to take it easily, they didn't need this base before, and now they don't have a place for them to live in their own territory, as long as they suffer a little loss on the border of our Ming Dynasty, they may choose Ryukyu as a base in desperation."
Cheng Qiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "My little ancestor, you have finally thought of everything that people want to say."
She put down the pen with joy and chuckled, "What the adults are thinking about is so thoughtful, I haven't thought of it for a while." However, what the adults said reminded me that although it was difficult to save the Ryukyus, it was easy to defend the Ryukyus. If we wait until the Japanese invaders occupy the Ryukyus to send troops to help, I am afraid that our own country will weigh the pros and cons, and it will secretly drag us back.
Therefore, since it is expected that they will take the Ryukyus, according to the humble opinion, we have to get ahead of them, and we only need to transport the three guards and horses to defend the island, and the Ryukyus can be safe, and at the same time, we can contain the Japanese invaders to attack and plunder the coast of our Ming Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone, what do you think."
Yang Ling's heart moved, and he secretly thought: "Not only can you deter the Japanese invaders, but the garrison here can also contain the book." Using this as a springboard, if there is a dispute between the two countries, with this island in hand, all worries about the transportation of troops, grain and grass supplies, and fleet maintenance will be gone, and there is no need to worry that Xiao Yue will annex the Ryukyus later.
It's just that although he has received four secret decrees and an order to transfer troops, he has prepared troops in the Ming Dynasty, and now he wants to send troops to other countries, how can he be possible without the emperor's decree? It's hard to ......."
Cheng Qiyun saw that his face was embarrassed, and covered his mouth and chuckled: "The Ryukyu Kingdom is the most loyal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ryukyus are in trouble and do not save it, it will chill the hearts of the vassal states, and the adults in the court will not fail to see this."
Moreover, the emperor has a lot of trust in the adult, and believes that the adult will play the secret fold to the court, analyze the pros and cons, and the emperor will also approve the adult's suggestion. The military expenses are easy to manage, the garrison is to defend the Ryukyus, and the second is to protect the Ryukyu merchants and civilians after the market is opened to trade, so the required military baggage can be paid by the Ryukyu State ......".
The more Cheng Qiyun spoke, the more proud she became, and she couldn't help but say with her eyebrows fluttering: "As for the Ryukyus, there is no problem." Ryukyu has long been bullied by pirates and their own country, and has long had a request to borrow troops from the imperial court to station, but the imperial court sailors cannot sail far, and they have not been allowed to do so because they are too busy to take care of themselves, so what is there to fear now that there are a large number of ocean-going warships?
My lord, the king of the Ryukyus learned that the Ming Dynasty decided to open the sea ban, and had sent the prince to cross the sea to inquire about the news, and at this moment in the city of Suzhou, the lord said that he might as well see him, and the prince of the Ryukyus would be interested in it, and it would not be difficult to ask the Ryukyus to take the initiative to ask for help. ”
Yang Ling looked at her talking eloquently in front of herself, with a confident look, with an expression on her face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, that strange appearance made Cheng Qiyun's heart furious, she couldn't help but take a step back, looked herself up and down, and wondered: "Why do adults look at me like this?" ”
Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and snorted, walked back to the table and sat down, picked up the cup and gently plucked the tea leaves on the water with the tea lid, drooped his eyelids and said slowly: "What I just said, I must have thought of it a long time ago, right?" ”
"Huh?" Cheng Qiyun laughed dryly, only to find that he was happy, and he made an old mistake, and he played it off again in front of him.
Yang Ling smiled, blew the floating tea, raised his glass and drank it all, then put down the teacup and got up and said: "Okay, since you already have a belly case, I don't need to say it too carefully, you think about it again, polish it well, and hand it over to me in the morning." ”
He walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and turned back and said: "By the way, most of the forces of our inner factory in Jiangnan were developed by you, you have to control them, and the direction of intelligence collected in the future is not only the commercial war and military of our Ming Dynasty, with the expansion of the scope of trade with the vassal countries, you have to arrange spies to pretend to be merchants to travel to and from all countries in the world with merchant ships, and pay attention to collecting information on various aspects of agriculture, industry and commerce in various countries."
"Yes!" Cheng Qiyun responded, and when she saw Yang Ling walking out, she hurriedly called again: "Adults walk slowly, ......."
Yang Ling waved his hand casually and said, "Well, you don't need to send it, you can go to bed early after writing the fold Chen."
Cheng Qiyun suddenly said coquettishly: "I mean, please don't go!" ”
"Huh?" Yang Ling's hand had just opened the curtain of the Suzhou embroidery door, and when he heard this, his heart fluttered, and the curtain slipped out of his hand, swaying gently, and the curtain was embroidered with a picture of folding flowers on a spring night.
Yang Ling's heartbeat increased a little, and he muttered, "I...... I...... Don't think about it, go to bed early", as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his tone had become so weak, and there was no sense of righteous and awe-inspiring refusal.
Cheng Qiyun's beautiful eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "What am I thinking?" ”
Her eyes rolled, she suddenly "fluttered" - laughed, her face turned red all of a sudden, she finally knew where Yang Ling thought: it turned out that this guy was not a good thing, and men really didn't have a good thing.
She bit her lip and glared at Yang Ling, and then she blushed and said: "There is still something I want to ask my lord, since I have agreed with my country that the sailors of the two countries will jointly exterminate the Japanese invaders, is my lord ready to adopt the method of doing their own things now?" Notice...... Ouchi and Hosokawa are sweeping the Kou, and our Daming Naval Division is sweeping the Kou along the coast, and they do not cooperate well with each other, and there will be a place in the middle that cannot be reached by the forces of both sides, so that the Japanese can survive for a long time."
Only then did Yang Ling know that her "slow walking" was not a polite remark, Yang Ling was embarrassed and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, he walked back to the house in a sneer, coughed dryly and said, "This...... I know that too, but ...... Hosokawa and Ouchi are the two most powerful daimyos in the whole of Samoto, and if they are allowed to use their troops together, I am afraid that they will promote exchanges between the two families in cooperation, and if they join forces to govern, the chaos in Samoto will be calmed down."
"Qiyun", Yang Ling looked at her deeply, and then said with deep disgust: "I tell you, no matter how polite and humble this nation is, its bones are full of aggression and greed, and I don't want them to have a stable regime until the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and the strength of the sailors have a decisive grasp of them."
Cheng Qiyun glanced at him in surprise, although the Japanese were brutal and ferocious, but Yang Ling's evaluation at that time was obviously a suspicion that a stick swept away a boatload of people in people's hearts, and the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty made them hate the Japanese who had no surname, but they still had a very good impression of the person who visited the daimyo through formal channels, bowed three times in a word, and looked extremely respectful.
However, she did not refute Yang Ling's words, but smiled happily: "If they want to trade with our Daming, why don't they let them do their part in this matter of Jingqing Haijiang?" What's more, we can also learn more about their strength and strengths through joint actions, which will be of great benefit to the growth and development direction of our Daming Water Master. As for worrying that the two daimyo will work together from now on, there is no need for adults to worry about this."
Yang Lingqi said: "How can you be so sure? ”
Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, "The humble duty is to stop the lord, just to report this matter to you." Now Ouchi and Hosokawa are standing side by side, but in terms of strength, the Hosokawa clan is still superior.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to negotiate with them about the tributary business, he sent someone to inquire about the information of the other country, and learned that Hosokawa Masamoto, the governor of the shogunate, had deposed the shogun Ashikaga Yoshinoe and installed a puppet Ashikaga Yoshisumi, who controlled the shogunate himself, and the other daimyo called him a 'semi-shogun,' in fact, he was now the real shogun.
If he wants to ally with the Ouchi clan, I believe that the Ouchi clan will not refuse, but this powerful hero is now obsessed with cultivation, he quits women, and he can't take care of government affairs.
The three righteous sons he adopted are now fighting openly and secretly for the position of family governor, and if the Hosokawa clan splits, the biggest beneficiary will be the Ouchi clan, so they are not only optimistic about it, but also fan the flames if they have the opportunity. In order to win in chaos and take advantage of fire, neither the Ouchi clan nor the three yoshiko who are now in power in the Hosokawa clan want a stable regime to emerge. ”
Yang Ling smiled happily when he heard this: "Very good, if this is the case, I can rest assured, then Ming Yue will notify the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan and ask them to send troops to help exterminate the pirates, I want to see what ability they have to dig out the bottom of the box, and at the same time, let our Daming sailor who has not been at sea for a long time broaden his horizons, and never be a frog at the bottom of the well."
Yang Ling said that he was happy to give Cheng Qiyun a smile, and then stroked his palm and sighed: "I have Qiyun, like a fish in water."
Cheng Qiyun glanced at him and said in her heart: "I want to work with you."
She also politely returned the salute, and said solemnly: "It is an honor for Qiyun to choose trees and perch on trees, and to be able to serve adults."
The two of them laughed a few times with a ghostly "hehe", and suddenly felt ...... It seems that each other's laughter is a bit fake......
