"If it weren't for the withdrawal of our fleet from Tsushima Island, how would the Japanese have a chance to enter, of course, we don't need to be a shield for others, right?"

Ping An is not shocking and endless, as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Shixing was taken aback, and a mouthful of tea spurted out three feet. www.biquge.info Ping'an pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "My Lord Shoufu, such a thing scared you?" ”

"Is this still small?"

Shen Shixing smiled bitterly: "It was a big battle between the two feudal states, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, killing you to the death." The king of Joseon, Li Hao, has already asked the court for help, and he has to move troops in a big way, and when the time comes, he will consume countless money and food, and it is good if he wins, but if he is defeated...... As you know, the drought in the north is like fire at the moment, and just now Henan, Shandong and other places have been hit by locust plagues. The Yellow River is not flooding, but the river is less water, trickling, not even as good as some medium-sized rivers in the southeast, several provinces are lacking, tens of millions of people are in urgent need of relief, the imperial court can't take out too much financial resources to help Korea fight, but the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and they can't ignore ......"

Talking back and forth, it is just a sentence, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the court is short of silver again.

"I said Brother Ru Mo, in the past ten years, hasn't my father been a strong advocate for immigration, and he has made millions of dollars, and the pressure is still so great?" Ping An didn't understand what he meant.

Shen Shixing smiled bitterly, "That's it, I'm complaining to you, I don't dare to talk too much in front of the teacher, in fact, the population of the Central Plains has not only decreased over the years, but has also increased slightly." ”

"Why is that?"

"It's not that in recent years, the imperial court has become richer and richer, the finances are sufficient, roads and irrigation have been built, commerce and trade have flourished, and industry and commerce in the Central Plains have also risen. Then there is a steam engine research, all over the country to build railroad tracks, the heart of the Central Plains, or it will not be long before it will become a transportation hub, a place where wealth and goods gather, on the one hand, to immigrate, on the other hand, the population from all over the country to replenish in. Besides, life is good, and the common people dare to have children, in the past, they also gave birth to seven or eight, and it would be good to survive three or two, but now they have given birth to seven or eight, let alone five or six. The more people there are, the more natural populations there are. No, since last year, a national census has been conducted, according to estimates, the total population of our Ming Dynasty will exceed 20,000, not including the various overseas governors' territories, such a huge country, there are thousands of things, you see. Shen Shixing pointed to his sideburns, and his white hair came out, looking haggard.

Ping An groaned, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Brother Rumo, the more internal pressure you have, the more you should look outside. Whether it is North Korea or the Japanese country, although it seems barren, it is not a problem to settle tens of millions of people in such a large place, there is no shortage of rainwater. They are fighting, you should be happy, the more fierce the fight, the better, it is better to come to the same end, let's go and take over the territory, what's wrong! That's what we did in Annam! ”

When it comes to Annam, Ping An is not without pride, taking advantage of the war disasters of the Li Dynasty and the Mo Dynasty after Annam, in the ten years before and after, Annam's household registration dropped by seventy percent, and at the same time, Chinese immigrants increased to three million, accounting for more than sixty percent of the total population, and the proportion of Han people even exceeded that of Yunnan, Guizhou and other southwestern provinces.

It can supply China with 3 million stone of grain every year, and as long as the momentum is maintained for another 20 years, it can establish a province in Annam, starting from Qin Shi Huang, it has continued to march south, until now, it has gained a firm foothold and completely opened up the situation, and Ping An certainly has reason to be proud.

"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry." Shen Shixing said with a smile: "The rebellion of the Wa Kingdom, I am a poor donkey, I have to ask my brother for help, you are doing your best, how to cooperate, I won't say a word!" ”

Ping An patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." ”

……

"Dad, isn't the brains of the Japanese people broken, how could they send troops, could it be your old man's bureau?" Tang Yi asked with a smile while pouring tea.

Tang Shen grabbed his gray beard, with a smile on his face, the old man was also over the age of six, and he inevitably grew old, Tang Yi was reluctant to let his father suffer overseas, more than two years ago, he wrote to ask his father to come back, but Tang Shen delayed until three months ago before returning to China, as a result, as soon as he came back, the Japanese country sent troops, Tang Yi couldn't help but suspect that his father had done something inside.

"This matter, it can only be regarded as pushing the boat along the river, not only me, but that kid from Ping An has also put a lot of effort into it."

Tang Shen sipped the tea and talked about the changes in the country in recent years...... Oda Nobu imitated the Ming Dynasty and was determined to innovate, but at first he only cut the feudal domain, unified the government decrees, and strengthened the collection of fiscal and tax revenues...... Later, with Tang Yi serving as the first assistant and promoting the reality of the hypocrisy, the entire power fell to the cabinet. Oda Nobunaga believed that the Wa State could be completely adopted, and compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State also had an advantage, that is, the emperor had been in an embarrassing position of power for a long time, and the real power fell into the hands of the shogun, who held military power.

Oda Nobunaga raised the banner of honoring the emperor and nominally respected the emperor, but in fact, in the name of the emperor, he established a cabinet with civilian officials as the core, and he also followed the example of the Ming Dynasty, increased the position of auxiliary minister, and recognized himself as the chief auxiliary minister.

Oda Nobunaga's reform is in the same direction, closely following the pace of the Ming Dynasty, but the situation he has to face is far more difficult than Tang Yi, the conservative force of the Japanese state is very strong, and they all have military power.

Just after Oda Nobunaga proposed the introduction of Yangmei Mind and the abolition of all Buddhist temples and Shinto, the long-accumulated contradictions finally broke out. Oda Nobunaga's subordinate Akechi Mitsuhide set a trap at Honnoji Temple and assassinated Oda Nobunaga.

Only one step away from unifying the Wa Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga died at the hands of his own subordinates.

After his death, the Wa kingdom began a fierce internal strife, and Akechi Mitsuhide was beaten to death by Nobunaga's men, and the rest of the feudal kingdoms revived, and there was a great chance of returning to the situation of twenty years ago.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga's other general, Yushiba Hideyoshi, stood up, he united with the conservative forces of the Wa State externally, suppressed the civil officials under Oda Nobunaga internally, and used two years to basically regain control of the Wa State, and the power was better than Oda Nobunaga.

It's just that his style is relatively conservative, and all the reforms of Oda Nobunaga have been abandoned.

Moreover, he believed that the Beiyang Company had seriously harmed the interests of the Wa State by operating in a big way, robbing Iwami Silver Mountain and monopolizing domestic and foreign trade.

The Wa State should rise up to expel the Ming Dynasty and regain its independent status.

Of course, compared to the Ming court, the Wa State was too weak and was not an opponent at all.

But if you don't die, Wanli fought back against the New Deal, causing a crisis in the Ming court, and the Tang Party and the royalist party fought a war, giving Yushiba Hideyoshi a precious opportunity, and by the way, he had been given the name by the emperor and changed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"It's ridiculous to say, Toyotomi's monkey originally wanted to join forces with North Korea, thinking that they were sympathetic to each other and just expelled the Chinese forces together, but North Korea sternly refused, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was annoyed and angry, so he sent troops to attack, wanting to use North Korea as a bargaining chip to force Beiyang Company to withdraw from the Japanese country."

Tang Yi smiled, and said in his heart that the Japanese people really can't change their temperament, and in their previous lives, didn't they also march into China under the banner of expelling Western forces and establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!

"Dad, what do you think you should do?"

"Well, in my opinion, I can't ignore it, and I can't really care about it, let them mess around for a few years first, exhaust their strength, and then go pick peaches."

……

The three generations of the Tang family are, to put it bluntly, a virtue.

First of all, Tang Yi issued a strong condemnation in the name of the government, and then there was no movement, and the people of the imperial court did not move. Subsequently, it was the Beiyang Company that vigorously recruited personnel and threw them into the Korean battlefield.

The direction they chose was concentrated in eastern Liaodong, as well as the grasslands.

After many years of war, the tribes of Liaodong and the steppe have been scattered, but there are still many remnants of nomadic soldiers, who are unwilling to engage in production and live a life of raiding and robbing houses, which is a major threat to the development of the north.

In recent years, the weather has become colder and colder, and survival is difficult, forcing more and more savages to move south, mingle with bandits, and frequently go south to loot, making the court anxious.

Finally had the opportunity, the Beiyang Company threw out a lot of silver, as long as it entered the Korean war, food and clothing were worry-free, and the past sins could be written off.

And there are still landed properties after winning the war, and countless women are waiting for them.

More and more bandits were drafted, formed an army, and slaughtered into Korea.

Among these people, there is a guy whose name translates to "wild boar skin", his grandfather Jue Chang'an, and his father Takshi were once in the hands of Li Chengliang, he gave Li Chengliang as his godson, but he took the opportunity to get acquainted with Han Heming, the imperial historian, and impeached Li Chengliang.

Later, Li Chengliang was sheltered by Tang Yi and passed the test, and afterwards Li Chengliang went all over the world to find the wild boar skin that bit him, but the ability of people to escape was also very good, and he was stunned that he was not caught.

However, the life of the wild boar skin was not easy, and it was almost exhausted, but fortunately, the Beiyang Company recruited personnel, and they rushed into North Korea with the Beiyang Company's food and salary.

After entering North Korea, in three months, he successively defeated the Japanese and ambushed and killed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pioneer Ukita Hideya.

After becoming famous in World War I, the king of Korea Li Hao personally received him, and also presented 20,000 taels of silver as a military salary, and the number of wild boar skins and horses expanded to more than 1,000 people at once.

Among the large number of anti-Japanese armies, it is second to none.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally led more than 100,000 horses from south to north, and went straight to Uiju, where the Korean king Li Hao lived, and behind Uiju was the Yalu River.

Li Hao once again sent a letter of salvation to Daming, this time he said more humblely, even if the kingdom only sent a few hundred people, it was enough to strengthen the momentum of the small state. If there is no rescue from the Supreme Kingdom, the small state will be ruined, and the ministers will flee, just in front of you!

"It's really hard for them, it's a miracle that such a weak force can survive." Tang Yi was silent for a long time, feeling that the heat was almost over, and he asked the two generals who had been waiting for a long time to call over.

"Li Rusong, Liu Wei, I will give you 6,000 men and horses each to destroy the Japanese invaders."

The two of them were stunned, "This is too little, right?" There are more than 100,000 pirates, huh? ”

"Hahaha, listen, if you win, Li Chengliang will be the governor of the Japanese state, and Liu Xian will be the governor of North Korea." Tang Yi crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "How about it, for your father, it's time to work hard, right?" (To be continued.) )
