Fulin, who was made out of temper by the soft nails of the Queen Mother, had no choice but to give up his self-praise for his political achievements, and once again listlessly told the "interesting story" that his mother was more interested in:

"Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Liaoyang, went to the court today, saying that the old people of Liaodong are now living on Dengzhou Island. Zhang Shangxian issued an order to solicit. Subsequently, there were more than 700 people from Guanglu, Changshan and other islands and Mindingjiakou, all of whom returned to their original hometown of Jinzhouwei. However, now that the interior of the Golden State is sparsely populated, if the imperial court allows it to be cultivated at will, the number of people who gather will gradually increase, and in the future, prefectures and counties can be established to govern it. If this is the case, then the scattered people of the overseas islands will be 'all heard'[1]. ”

"Huang Eniang, you said that these old people of Liaodong are really interesting, but they have a good life, not to work hard in their hometown, but to go to those barren islands, which is really ridiculous." The emperor casually found a so-called interesting thing, and was ready to send away the queen mother's request, so that he could go back early to get rid of it.

"Yes, this Zhang Shangxian really has some responsibility, and it can be regarded as a credit to be able to re-attach this old people scattered overseas. So how is the emperor going to reply? "The Queen Mother doesn't really care about any interesting things at all, but how the emperor governs.

"Huang Eniang is right, the son has ordered to hand over his performance to the minister." Fulin is really boring.

"Huang Ama, are there any inhabitants on the island?" Hongyi suddenly interjected.

"Haha, it is estimated that there are not a few families left, this Zhang Shangxian still has some ability, and if this continues, the overseas islands will no longer be stranded with the old people......" Fu Lin recalled Zhang Shangxian's excerpt and said with confidence.

"Huang Ama, you can't leave people on the island!" Hongyi was in a hurry, forgetting the etiquette of the monarch and the minister's father and son, and interrupted the emperor's speech.

"Xuan Ye, have you forgotten how Huang Mama taught you? Why are there no rules! The queen mother listened to the court and politics very "energetic", but she didn't expect Xuan Ye to be rude to interrupt without knowing the current affairs, and immediately reprimanded him seriously.

"Huang Eniang, it's okay. Xuan Ye often has some ideas recently, but Erchen is willing to listen to them in detail. Fu Lin didn't care about his son's sudden rudeness, but keenly felt that maybe this little guy would have some kind of clever plan.

"Huang Ama, the overseas islands are on the Yellow Sea east of Liaodong?" Hongyi didn't explain anything, but deliberately asked closely. In fact, if you show special attention to one thing now, you will immediately make the people around you naturally interested. At this point, Hongyi is full of confidence.

"It should be." Fulin affirms.

"Then, Erchen implored the emperor to give an edict to let Zhang Shangxian's prefect leave a number of households on the island and continue to produce. There is also a military department, which chooses one or two leaders among the people of the island, and receives the post of 'hundred chiefs[2]' from among them, so as to prepare for the garrison. Hongyi knelt on the ground again, solemnly.

"Xuan Ye, why is this so?" Without waiting for the emperor's son to ask, the queen mother really came to be interested, and she had already thrown this grandson's rude behavior out of the clouds.

"Huang Ma Ma, Huang Ama, Xuan Ye has a concern, and he has abandoned it for a long time." Hongyi, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head suddenly, with a look of concern for the country and the people.

"What's the matter?" Fu Lin was startled, and Bu Mu Butai on the side was also nervous.

"Why was my Taizu Taizong able to fight against the Ming Dynasty outside Longxing Pass and frequently achieve impressive results?" Hongyi began to flicker.

"Providence!" Fulin is positive and uses the standard answer.

"Not bad. But the emperor Amma, there was a Ming Dynasty, the southeast coast of the Japanese [3] rampant, the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end to take care of one and the other, it is really not to be counted. Hongyi talked to himself, seeing that the two of them were silent, it was clearly recognition, so he continued to flicker.

"With the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to deal with thousands of pirates and pirates, which is really not to underestimate the strength and ambition of the Oriental Japanese people. The Ming Dynasty had a maritime ban [4], but the more and more they banned this Japanese coquent, the reason was that they gave up the guard of the sea frontier for thousands of miles and gave it to small overseas countries to come and go freely. The ban on the sea did more harm than good to the Central Plains, and relying only on the exploration trade[5] to maintain maritime transportation stimulated the smuggling and piracy activities of the people, and even became an important reason for the aggravation of the Japanese trouble. Under the increasing opposition and pressure inside and outside the court, although the sea ban was lifted in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese sea disaster was already in the ascendant at this time...... "Hongyi was about to explain by the way that the so-called sea ban was sinful and laid a good foundation for the future, but Fu Lin suddenly interjected.

"Xuan Ye is talking about the small country of Dongyang [6] Yuer? Haha, then you're too worried. Fulin smiled, heartily.

"Huang Ama, a small country in the east, is indeed not enough to worry about, but he is small and broad, but he has a headache for the big country in the Central Plains, such as scabies on his back and restless sleep! Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, failed to conquer Dongying twice, and Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty only expelled the thieves from the Korean Peninsula, but he could not make them submit after all. Hongyi promptly dismissed the idea of popularizing the common sense of maritime trade to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and instead specialized in policy toward Japan.

"I entered the customs, although the small country of Dongying sent envoys, but they were not sealed, not called ministers, isolated overseas, surrounded by oceans, he just wanted to one day, encroach on the hinterland of the Central Plains and swallow me! And if it encroaches on the Central Plains, it will be the first to annex North Korea, annex North Korea, and then enter Shengjing outside our Guan, and get the land of Shengjing Longxing, then follow my example of the Qing Dynasty and enter the Central Plains of Dingding......"

"Bold!" The queen mother yelled, startling Hongyi, and even Fu Lin, who was listening to the "fresh arguments", was shocked.

Hongyi was about to kowtow and ask for sin, thinking that he said the infamous "Tanaka Song" - "If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manmeng." If you want to conquer Shijie, you must first conquer China. If China can be conquered by our country, then other peoples such as Minor Central Asia and the South Seas of India, etc., will fear me and respect me and surrender to me, and it is shijie who knows that East Asia is the East Asia of our country, and will never dare to invade me" and other related contents angered the queen mother, and hurriedly prepared to fight on the basis of reason, but heard the old lady continue to "roar":

"A mere Japanese country, how dare you be so arrogant? During the Renchen [7] period, the Japanese invaded Korea in the north [8], and Taizu was the governor of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers were treacherous later, my Emperor Taizu was loyal and clear in Jianzhou, and the world can learn from heaven and earth. In August, Taizu was paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, which coincided with the setback of the first batch of Ming troops in Pyongyang and retreated to China. When Taizu heard this, he was furious, and sent a letter to Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ming Military Department, saying: "I am connected to the border between Jianzhou and Korea. Now that Korea has been invaded by Japanese slaves, it will be invaded by Japanese slaves in the future, and it was agreed that "when the severe winter ice is combined, even if the river is crossed, the Japanese slaves will be killed and serve the dynasty." In September, after Taizu returned to Liaoyang, he immediately sent an envoy Ma Sanfei to North Korea to say: There are 30,000 or 40,000 horse troops and 40,000 or 50,000 infantry troops under the Jianzhou Wei Army, all of whom are brave and accustomed to war. It's a pity that the timid and fearful king of Joseon actually refused to us after discussing it with his ministers. ”[9]

It was also in this year that Empress Xiaoci Gao[10] gave birth to Emperor Taizong. After I married Emperor Taizong, I heard Taizong say that when Emperor Taizu heard about the invasion of the Japanese invaders, he was furious and prepared to send troops to conscript, if it were not for the Ming Dynasty Emperor who forced Taizu not to leave his post without permission, he taught those Japanese invaders early, what was Toyotomi Hideyoshi [11], and died many years early! On that day, Taizu once said that the Japanese people have never been attached to China, and I will let him surrender every day! [12] "Speaking of the critical moment, Bumu Butai took out the Sunnah of Taizu in order to make his words unquestionable.

This remark made Hongyi happy, who was still kneeling on the ground! Before he could answer, Fu Lin, who was sitting on the side, got up to participate.

"Taizu Taizong is in the spirit of the sky, and the sons and ministers will definitely pacify the Japanese and realize Taizu's grand wish!" Fu Lin also knelt down solemnly and prayed.

"Okay, the emperor has this ambition, it's really a blessing for the Qing Dynasty!" The impassioned Queen Mother looked at her son kneeling on the ground and praised him proudly.

"Xuan Ye, get up and talk in detail, why is it important to overseas islands?" The queen mother, who had just participated in government affairs, flickered around a lot, and did not forget the arrangements for specific political affairs, so she turned to ask Xiang Hongyi.

Hongyi, who was on the side, listened to what he said just now, and his heart was simply happy! - And such a good thing! Then it depends on how I am at my mercy, and there must be a good start in the policy towards Japan!

[3] Woko generally refer to maritime invaders based in Japan and active along the coast of the Korean Peninsula and Chinese mainland between the 13th and 16th centuries. It was once classified as a pirate or the like, but in reality it was not a ship that plundered it, but a land-based city. The composition of the Japanese pirates was not limited to Japanese pirates, but because they were originally from Japan (then known as the Wakoku), they were collectively called "Wakoko". In the later period, due to the change in the domestic political situation in Japan and the control of the government, the number of Japanese people going to sea to plunder ships has decreased. In their place, there were Chinese and Korean maritime merchants and pirates, who continued to plague the East China Sea in the same way that the Japanese raided in the past, and were also classified as Japanese pirates. The ancient Wako were mainly divided into two periods: the first and the last. In the early stage, the Japanese were mainly Japanese, in order to retaliate against the invasion of the Mongol and Korean coalition forces and the capture of the Jurchen pirates; In the later period, the Japanese were basically a mixed formation of China and Japan, which was caused by the Ming Dynasty's policy of closing the country (sea ban).

[4] The Qing court did not prohibit the sea at first, and later in order to prevent the coastal people from fighting against the Qing Dynasty through sea activities, the sea ban was implemented, and it was more severe than the Ming Dynasty, in June of the twelfth year of Shunzhi (1655), in order to deal with Zheng Chenggong in the southeast, it was ordered that the coastal provinces "are not allowed to sail into the sea, and the violators are set up with heavy regulations", and in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), the coastal residents of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Shandong and other provinces were moved 30 to 50 miles respectively, and the boundary was set up for defense, and it was strictly forbidden to cross. It was not until the 20th year of the Kangxi reign (1681) that the rebellion of the three feudatories was pacified, and the 22nd year of the Kangxi reign (1684) when Taiwan was pacified, and the Qing court opened the sea ban, and successively set up four customs offices in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang from 23 to 25 years to manage foreign trade affairs respectively, and the trade to Japan that has always been strictly prohibited is also within the scope of openness. However, only after more than 30 years, the policy of opening the sea in an all-round way began to shrink, in the face of the increasingly serious "sea bandits" activities and the potential threat of the West Shili in the East Asian seas, Kangxi 55 years (1716) October 25, Kangxi summoned the minister, put forward the issue of the ban on the sea, the following year, the regulations were drafted, the official implementation of the ban on the sea, this is the Nanyang sea ban order. Although the ban on the South China Sea is not a complete ban on the sea, it is undoubtedly a serious blow to the growing Chinese non-governmental foreign trade. The Qing Dynasty out of political considerations to prevent the Han Dynasty and control the country, and at the same time in order to combat and destroy the anti-Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world, and even implemented a cruel coastal relocation (Kangxi period), once because of the sea ban [1], the migration caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and countless massacres! The consequence of the Qing Dynasty's sea ban was that with the cooperation of a series of supporting strategies such as the sea ban and **, the development path of Chinese culture was completely destroyed. In the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727), Yongzheng was worried that the Fujian and Guangdong regions would be troubled by the ban on foreign affairs, so he agreed to abolish the ban on the sea in the South Seas, and then opened the four treaty ports of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, "but in the twenty-second year of Qianlong (1757), Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty ordered the closure of the Jiang Customs, Zhejiang Customs, and Fujian Customs, and designated foreign merchant ships to trade in the Guangdong Customs-Guangzhou, and strictly restricted the export volume of traditional commodities such as silk and tea, and traded with Chinese merchant ships. There were also many prohibitions, which are commonly referred to as the policy of retreat", which was further severe until the outbreak of the Opium War, and this irrational policy became the focus of contradictions. The traditional concept of active coastal defense formed since the end of the Ming Dynasty was abandoned. It curbed China's maritime trade and inhibited the development of domestic industry and commerce. The established policy of the Manchu government was primarily responsible for China's historical burden of backwardness and humiliation throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

[5] In the Ming Dynasty, a term for foreign countries coming to China for tributary trade, also known as "tribute trade". After the implementation of the sea ban in the early Ming Dynasty, only foreign countries were allowed to engage in tributary trade with the Ming court with a specified time and place. Foreign merchant ships came to China with tribute and their own local products, and after the Ming court received the tribute and purchased the goods, it rewarded the Chinese goods needed by foreign merchants in the form of "national gifts". The period of tribute for each country is either 3 years or 5 years. For Japan, it is stipulated that the tribute will be paid for 10 years. Gongbo must have a "conquest" (license visa) issued in advance by the Ming court. The Mingkanhe trade allowed the official overseas trade window to be maintained after the Ming Sea ban, but this trade reflected the typical Chinese management model in overseas trade, which hindered the expansion of China's commodity exchanges with other countries and the development of domestic industry and commerce. Because of the huge profits from maritime trade, the practice of allowing only prospect trade has stimulated private smuggling and piracy, and has even become part of the reason for the exacerbation of the "woe problem". Under the pressure of increasing opposition from both inside and outside the DPRK, the maritime ban was lifted in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and after that, private overseas trade became the mainstream for a time.

[6] "Japan State" was a Chinese term that only appeared in Japan during the Meiji Restoration in 1870, and before that China generally referred to it as "Dongyang" or "Yingzhou"; In the 16th century, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to the Korean Peninsula and in China's War of Resistance Against Japan, the people of both countries called the Japanese army "Wako". In Qin, Kou and the thief agreed.

Battle of Keichō; In China, it is called the Battle of Korea, and together with the Battle of Ningxia and the Battle of Banzhou, it is called the "Three Great Expeditions of Wanli".

[10] Empress Xiaoci Gao (1575~1603), Yehenala clan, named Menggu Zhezhe, was born in the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and was the daughter of Yang Jitong, the leader of the Yehe tribe. In September of the sixteenth year of Wanli, at the age of fourteen, he married Xinjueluo **Hachi. Meng Guzhuang respects wisdom and benevolence, dignified and virtuous. Four years after marriage, he gave birth to a son, namely Qing Taizong Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji. On September 27, 1603 (October 31, 1603), he died of illness at the age of 29, and was buried in the Tokyo Mausoleum in the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1624), and was buried in the Fuling Mausoleum on February 13 in the third year of Tiancong (1629). In the tenth year of Tiancong (1636), Huang Taiji called the emperor, respected his mother as the Empress of filial piety, and finally called "Filial Piety Zhaoxian Jingshun Ren Hui Yi Deqing Xian Cheng Tianfu Shenggao Empress".

August 18, Keicho 3 (September 18, 1598) was a daimyo and feudal lord of the Sengoku period and the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and one of the three heroes of Japan's Sengoku period who unified Japan for the first time in modern times after the Muromachi shogunate. He was originally a foot light (lower infantryman), and later rose to prominence because of his service to Oda Nobunaga. He was the de facto ruler of Japan from 1590 to 1598, serving as Sekihaku and later as Taisei Minister, known as "Taiko". During his reign, the policies such as the sword hunting order and the Taiko land inspection were of epoch-making significance, and had certain achievements in the transformation of Japanese society from a medieval feudal society to a modern feudal society. In the latter part of his reign, he gradually became suspicious and began the Wanli Korean War (Battle of Munrok Gyeongcho), and later died of illness.
