Chapter 683: A Hundred Years of Enemies
More than 100 years of seclusion, the Ming Dynasty people do not have a deep understanding of Japan, a large part of the image of the Japanese in their eyes comes from the Japanese Kou, they comb their hair, wear kimonos, and have a fierce face with a Japanese sword, killing the people of the Ming Dynasty in the most cruel way, plundering the people's property, and laughing wildly after the most relenting and leaving......
This perception of the Japanese is too one-sided, Japan is a very extreme nation, they have no sympathy for the weak, just like the people of the Ming Dynasty, in their eyes, the life of the weak is no different from pigs and dogs, they can be slaughtered to their heart's content, and for the strong, they are deeply surrendered and worshipped, even if the strong take a knife and cut them alive, they also think that this is an honor, the glory of being cut alive by the strong.
In fact, this kind of thinking of the Japanese is quite similar to the Mongols, both of them are practitioners of the cruel laws of nature, and they both believe in the concept of the strong as the respect of the world, simply put, if the whole family has only one food, this food must be undisputed to the youngest and strongest people in the family to eat, the elderly, women and children can only be hungry, only the prime of life in the family is full of food can get more food from the outside, this concept of life is very different from the Confucian doctrine of the Ming Dynasty, but Japan and Mongolia also have differences, the same naked thing, The Mongols are very straightforward and straightforward, but the Japanese put on a layer of hypocritical etiquette on the surface of this cruel nature, which is quite pleasing to the eye at a cursory glance, but makes people shudder at this nation after a long time.
Qin Kan knew very well what a tragic war this seemingly polite nation had brought to China five hundred years later, in his heart. The hatred of the Japanese is especially greater than that of the Mongols, and of course, the most vigilant are also the Japanese.
Yang Dequan fought a war with Japan in a daze, which was a deep surprise to Qin Kan, but he was very happy in his heart, and he even secretly made a decision, Zhu Houzhao was inconvenient to reward, but he Qin Kan could be rewarded, and Daming Daliang beat gongs and drums to give him a thousand taels of gold, which can not only win the hearts of Tianjin sailors. It made other sailors jealous. With Yang Dequan's bitter sea lamp, are you afraid that others will follow suit? So today, the Quanzhou sailors swam to Japan to fire two cannons, and tomorrow the Ningbo sailors swam to Japan to fire two cannons, and the innocent Japanese emperor cried and fainted in the thatched house......
It's a pleasure to think about.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa! ”
Ding Shun summoned Qin Kan back to his soul in an accentuated tone: "Why is Grandpa smiling so ethereally? ”
"I remembered a very happy thing......" Qin Kan came back to his senses and smiled. He coughed twice and said, "The Japanese lord and the envoys of the two daimyo are on their way to Beijing to worship. I guess it's time to go to Beijing tomorrow. You arrange it and order the Jingshi Jinyi Guard to protect it secretly, so that nothing can go wrong with the three envoys. Bad big deal. ”
Ding Shun said with a smile: "Since the envoy of the Japanese emperor is here, does Grandpa plan to talk to him directly about trade?" ”
Qin Kan glanced at him and said, "We do want to talk about trade, but not with the envoys of the Japanese emperor, but with the envoys of the two daimyos......
Ding Shun was surprised: "The subordinates are stupid, the emperor ...... It should be bigger than those two so-called daimyos, right? ”
"Theoretically speaking, the emperor is indeed big, but today is different from the past, today's Japan is the era of the Warring States Shogunate, and there are dozens of famous people fighting around in the land of small projectiles, and the nominal biggest emperor is naturally a phoenix with wings that is not as good as a chicken, everyone has to kowtow when they see him, but no one takes him seriously, and life is like asking for food......" Qin Kan said with a smile of schadenfreude on his face.
“…… I heard that the death of the previous generation of Emperor Goto Gomon in Japan was going to hold a funeral, but their palace treasury was so empty that they could run rats, and they only scraped together a hundred pieces of money, and hastily wrapped the Emperor Houto in a mat and buried it, and the new generation of Empress Kashiwahara was even more miserable, and she didn't even do the enthronement ceremony, so she quietly took the throne like a thief, and then the new emperor was poked in the backbone and poked in the backbone, and he mustered up the courage to ask for silver money to hold the enthronement ceremony to the most powerful daimyo Hosokawa clan, who knew that he was pushed back by Hosokawa's words: ' The enthronement ceremony is useless and wastes money', so the dignified emperor has been in office for almost nine years, and he still has not done a great gift......"
Ding Shun was dumbfounded when he heard it, and only after a while did he say: "Today, I know that the Japanese emperor is in such a bleak situation, and my grandfather once said that the emperor may not even be able to hang a fart curtain, which turned out to be not a joke, but a big truth." ”
Qin Kan sighed: "If I am the emperor of Japan, my life has become like this, my father can't afford to bury me, and I can't afford to do the enthronement ceremony, it's better to die headfirst than to live like this, but their emperor is still alive and well, which shows how thick-skinned and shameless the Japanese are." ”
Ding Shun's eyes blinked, and he hesitated and said tentatively: "Listening to the meaning of Grandpa's words, you seem to have a great ...... for Japan Enmity? ”
Qin Kan seemed to smile: "Otherwise? Am I going to have to offer this group of shameless things as my ancestors? ”
His face gradually became solemn, Qin Kan said in an aggravated tone: "Ding Shun, you have to face up to the country of Japan, don't be confused by their temporary servility, once their strength swells, they will tear off the disguise of humility and show their hideous fangs, they are more terrible than the Mongols, Mongolia is just a ten-year disaster for my Ming Dynasty, and Japan is a hundred years for my Ming Dynasty!" ”
Ding Shun seemed to understand whether he understood or not, his eyes were blank for a long time, and he nodded heavily after the last round, although he still didn't understand his grandfather's words, but since his grandfather was so hostile to Japan, Ding Shun would naturally not be too polite to them in the future.
"Grandpa, the Japanese envoy is going to Beijing tomorrow and tomorrow, so ...... you see it then," Ding Shun asked tentatively.
Qin Kan smiled: "Treat them with good food and drink, those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, there is no need to be angry with a few envoys, what I want is Japan's decadence in decades or even a hundred years." ”

Whether it is a fight or a martial fight, the winner has the winner's gain.
After the court meeting was dispersed, the ministers had not yet walked out of the palace gate, and the factory guards who were guarding outside the palace gate early were like tigers and wolves, and began to take people according to the map, including Cao Yuan, the left attendant of the military department, and Feng Yuan, who was in the matter, and took down a total of more than 50 civil officials involved in the case on the spot, in vain, the court experienced a bloody purge.
At sunset, a carriage waited quietly outside the lobby of the Criminal Department, the carriage curtain was opened, Qin Kan's white and handsome face appeared in front of the officials of the Criminal Department, and the officials of the Criminal Department who were full of panic and panic laughed with him, and sent out Yan Song, the prefect of Tianjin, who had been in prison for half a month.
Seeing that Yan Song was covered in scars, his white prison clothes were covered with dry and dark red blood stains one after another, obviously he had received a lot of punishment in prison, Qin Kan's face gradually became gloomy.
When the officials of the Criminal Department saw Qin Kan's unkind look, they suddenly felt weak all over, their knees were uncontrollable, and they knelt in front of the carriage and couldn't stop kowtowing and begging for mercy.
On the contrary, Yan Song was relieved, smiled freely, and said: "That's it, if you can see your grandfather again in this life, it is God's mercy and mercy, why should your grandfather meet these little people?" ”
The murderous intent on Qin Kan's face gradually dissipated, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Weizhong was affected by me this time, you have suffered, I can't stand you." ”
Yan Song endured the pain and gave Qin Kan a long look: "The soldier dies for his confidant, and Yan Weizhong is still glorious even though he dies." ”
Qin Kan patted him on the shoulder with emotion, and said with a smile: "Go back and recuperate from your injuries, you have to continue to work hard for me after your injuries are healed." ”
Yan Song also smiled: "It's just a matter of doing your best." ”
Yan Song, who had been tortured, was in a very bad spirit, and his limbs were oozing blood when he moved slightly, Yan Song was also stiff, and his forehead was so painful that he was sweating coldly, but he seemed to be unconscious, and he still talked and laughed with Qin Kan.
Qin Kan personally stretched out his hand to help Yan Song into the carriage, ordered someone to send him home to recuperate, and invited several doctors from the Tai Hospital who specialize in treating external injuries to Yan Mansion to see the injury, Yan Song was quite bitter as an official, perhaps because of his youth, his face was too thin when he accepted bribes, unlike Qin Kan, an old fritter who could be released, so Qin Kan ordered someone to get some precious medicinal materials such as mountain ginseng and deer antler velvet from his own treasury and send them to Yan Mansion, and also sent 10,000 taels of silver.
At night, Qin Kan still stayed in Beizhen Fusi and did not go home, and recently the court purged a large number of civil officials, convicting these people specifically, how to make them confess, how to collect human and material evidence, and how to take this opportunity to fill these vacant positions with his henchmen, etc., these things need to be handled by Qin Kan himself.
Under the brightly lit candlelight, Qin Kan was holding a sheep's hair pen and was carrying words on a huge piece of rice paper.
Qin Kan rarely writes, this painting was specially given to Yan Song, and the content is very positive and inspirational.
"On the side of the sunken boat, there are thousands of sails; In front of the sick tree, but it is spring for thousands of trees. ”
After the stroke of the wonderful pen, Qin Kan took two steps back, looking at the ink treasure he had just written, the more he looked at it, the more frowning he became, it was obvious that Grandpa Qin's ink treasure was not proportional to his appearance, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, he had come to this era for many years, but Qin Kan's stinky words were a little bit out of his hands.
Of course, probably only an illiterate person like Ding Shun would blindly brag without skin and face.
"Good word! Grandpa's handwriting dragon and phoenix dance, wonderful pen flowers......"
Qin Kan crumpled the words into a ball irritably, threw them far away, calmed down and wrote a new one, still not satisfied.
Grandpa Qin's patience is not very good sometimes, and after repeated setbacks in calligraphy, this time he simply threw the pen out, and his face gradually turned a little blue.
"Ding Shun!"
"The subordinates are here."
"Send someone to Guozijian to pick a person with outstanding calligraphy, put a knife on his neck and force him to write a picture of what I just wrote, and then send it to me, I will write the payment and stamp the private seal and send it to Yan Song's mansion."
"Yes!"
