Zhang Juzheng looked at the map, "Japan? This place is rich in gold and silver, and not only you know, but the old man also knows it. In fact, outside the gates, there is also a huge silver mine. When it comes to silver reserves, it is not necessarily less than Japan's silver reserves. However, that silver mine is a big gift prepared by me, and I will use it to buy the Li clan in Liaodong in the future. It's hard to say how much it can give back to the court. Although there are many gold and silver mines in Japan, this is an indisputable country set by Hong Wuye, and you want to use force against it? ”

Even if Li Yanqing had no experience as a descendant, those pirate subordinates had never been less inclined to him to attack Japan. Zhang Qi, who was a mercenary for Japan back then, participated in the war between the princes, and had a better understanding of Japan's wealth.

"The Japanese kingdom was divided among the daimyo and fought against each other. For a short time, they were not able to form a powerful court, and the princes had different orders among themselves, and they were just right to use force against them. And the Japanese side is also in urgent need of the goods of the Ming Dynasty, we hold a knife in one hand and an abacus in the other, half trade and half plunder, so we don't have to worry about not being able to get their gold and silver. Although the Daming Sailor Guan Jian can't do it directly, the East India Company can. What can Japan do about the East India Company's use of troops against it? Your old man is willing to let Zhejiang soldiers help me, but you have helped my son-in-law a lot. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." This island country has a lot of gold and silver, but it is insatiable and has repeatedly used force against me. The rebellion of the Japanese invaders has poisoned the southeast coast of our country, and the people have suffered more than one million victims. It's time to teach them a lesson. However, the intelligence ability of the Japanese has always been good, and you, the brand of the East India Company, are okay to fight once or twice, but if you fight too much, it will inevitably be sniffed out. Beware of them coming to the capital to sue you. ”

Li Yanqing also smiled: "Uncle Yue." Slowly, the son-in-law is playing the banner of the East India Company, even if he is playing the banner of the Ming official army. Where are those widows going to sue me? Our Ming Dynasty has already issued a tribute order to him, where will he sue me? ”

Japan since the Ningbo tribute incident in the second year of Jiajing. The Ming Dynasty's punishment method was to pay tribute. At the official level, tributary trade between China and Japan was interrupted.

Japan now does not have a unified imperial court, either it cannot send envoys, or several forces have sent envoys, and the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the Japanese envoys is extremely poor. In recent years, there has been no envoy willing to come to the Ming Dynasty, and no envoy can really represent Japan.

What if Japan did send emissaries? Whether they are envoys or not, this identity must be officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Zhang Juzheng holds the seal, he is considered a true messenger. and took him away as a messenger. Even as long as an order was given along the way, those Japanese envoys would not want to enter the capital alive to sue the emperor. As long as the upper and lower levels join forces, we will not worry about letting those Japanese envoys spew blood and have no way to sue.

The samurai in Japan are very combative, but the problem is that there are not too many samurai who are combative. Its main operational cornerstone is the peasant soldiers with an average fighting will, and their mobilization capacity is also very limited.

Japan is currently in the Warring States period when the princes are vying for hegemony, and it has not yet reached the era of Toyotomi's unification, which is the time when its local combat effectiveness is the weakest.

Like the two princesses married by Zhang Qi. It's just the daughter of a daimyo of 10,000 stones, which may not even be counted in the county order in Daming. I don't know how many Japanese daimyo like this, Li Yanqing's East India Company was armed, and the tactics of fighting one faction and pulling one faction were implemented. He was also ready to follow Wang Zhi and participate in the Japanese Daimyo War, from providing mercenaries to selling arms. Do anything. Are you still afraid that Japan's gold and silver will not fall into the pocket of the Ming Dynasty?

In this time and space, later generations of Japanese historians. When talking about the "three hundred years of suffering" during the occupation period, it is generally counted from the sixth year of Wanli Kyushu Dadeng 6. Including the twenty-first century and beyond. There has been a wave of online writing in Japan, and there are many Japanese hot-blooded men who use this period of occupation as the background to create alternate novels, which are generally divided into the literary and arbitrary schools.

The arbitrary faction is to let the protagonist lead the Japanese army to kill the Ming army in Kyushu Daden 6.,Millions of Ming soldiers were killed.,The corpses are piled up into a mountain.。 Among them, the inferior samurai of the Ryuzoji family stood out the most, and it was successfully published and reprinted several times in Japan, and the adapted anime was regarded as a classic in the Japanese otaku world.

The Wenmou faction emphasized farming, and in the sixth year of Wanli, it had established a huge fleet in Kyushu Bay and a strong artillery battery, ensuring that the Ming army could not land on the shore. Or bribe officials within the Ming state, so that the notorious Liu family could not pass through the court, and the official power of the Ming dynasty to ban the East India Company, an organization that exudes evil from its pores.

There are also people who find another way, so that the protagonist assassinated the demon of the Ming Kingdom, the great enemy of the Japanese people, and the devil Liu Chaozuo, who brought countless shames to Japan, six years ago in Wanli. However, no one thought that the 300-year occupation period and the hundreds of years of suffering in Japan after that date were set in the second year of Longqing.

Zhang Juzheng was very interested in Li Yanqing's plan to plunder Japanese gold and silver. Weng and his son-in-law knew that it was impossible to use force against Japan at the moment, but as long as this tone was set, they would be able to eat this piece of fat meat in their mouths sooner or later.

In addition to Japan's gold and silver reserves, Zhang Juzheng's eyes fell on Goryeo, a friendly neighbor of the Ming Dynasty. "There are medicinal herbs in Goryeo. Its Korean ginseng can just defeat the long white ginseng of the female straight, so that those female straight people can't rely on ginseng to make money, in addition, Goryeo also has a good copper mine, our Ming is really short of copper. ”

With current technology, whether it is a Western cannon or a Chinese homemade artillery, the best quality is the copper cannon. Until the time of the American Civil War, the Bronze Cannon was still the most advanced artillery. Compared with iron cannons, copper cannons have superior performance and are not easy to explode, but using copper cannons is too luxurious, or it is a loser's behavior.

Daming is a country lacking copper, and copper is also used to mint copper coins, the currency in circulation. Even the copper coins made by the Ming Dynasty are still commodities that earn foreign exchange through exports. At such a time, it is too difficult to embezzle copper to cast cannons, and the number will not be too much. And Goryeo has rich copper reserves, and Zhang Juzheng's eyes fell on this.

Li Yanqing hurriedly said: "Father-in-law is wise. The son-in-law must follow your instructions and put a little pressure on the Koreans to understand that in addition to the beauties of Goryeo, their copper and ginseng must also be taken out. The tribute is the tribute, the trade trade. They're ours, and ours is ours. ”

"Nonsense." Zhang Juzheng feigned anger and said: "If you say this, you will be said that I am very cruel to my friends." Remember, we're just helping them to exhibit and help them build. Take a little bit from them, just exchange what you have. According to the experience of later generations, Goryeo Wen Tian is martial, and the army is very weak, and someone will use force against it in the future, and he has no power to defend himself, and he will go to my Ming Dynasty to cry Qin Ting. You, the East India Company, should also be more concerned about the defense of Goryeo, and if you don't have enough manpower, I'll help you. (To be continued!)
