Regarding the affairs of the Japanese state, Zhu Gaosui has always been in contact.

In fact, the Japanese people also bet on both ends, and ran to Langshan on the one hand, hoping to play some autumn breeze, but no one ignored you at all, so they ran back in disgrace.

At the beginning, the court didn't care much about the Japanese people, until something happened to the Mu family, and Zhu Gaosui became nervous, but let the Japanese take advantage of the loophole.

The conditions of the Japanese are roughly the same, they claim that they have a million soldiers, as long as the Ming is willing to let the goods of the Japanese people in the Ming Dynasty unimpeded, they can bring 100,000 soldiers ashore to help.

For them, in fact, the land is now virtual, the most important thing is the market, with the market, the workshop of the Japanese can be expanded, there can be more and more Japanese craftsmen to participate in industrial production, this Ming sooner or later becomes the industrial dumping ground of the Japanese people, after the dumping, the strength of the Japanese people can become stronger and stronger, the Ming Dynasty is more and more dependent on it, after earning a large amount of silver, the Japanese people can raise more military horses, build more ships, After the workshop has made a lot of profits, it can use a considerable part of it to upgrade the scale of the workshop, improve the process, and make its firearms sharper.

This is actually the way of Langshan, Langshan has walked a hundred steps, and the Japanese people have walked 20 steps, but if the Ming Dynasty is really willing to open up a comprehensive trade with the Japanese people, on the one hand, it is to vigorously encourage industry and commerce, and on the other hand, it is to passively accept and suppress industry and commerce, then it will not take ten years, and the national strength of the Japanese people will only increase more than ten times. Even the entire southeast coast has become the fish and meat of the Japanese people.

And for Zhu Gaosui. The so-called trade did not cause him to lose the slightest benefit at the moment. The bravery of the Japanese people, he has also heard of it, when Taizu was there, there were Japanese pirates harassing the southeast, those are some of the ronins of the Japanese country, there is no access, so they have to come here to plunder, just these people, it is enough to make the local guard office anxious. If the real military horses of the Japanese people are willing to help in the war, it will be a beautiful thing for the imperial court.

In fact, if it weren't for the Battle of Guangzhou and the surrender of the Mu family, Zhu Gaosui would not have come to this point, and now, any life-saving straw is attractive enough for him.

The two sides hit it off, and the Japanese took a copy of the secret decree of the Ming Dynasty and had returned. The next step is for the Japanese to fulfill the agreement.

Zhu Gaosui is reluctant to say this matter for the time being, but now. Xu Jingming asked suddenly, which made him a little annoyed and angry.

"How do you know these things?"

Xu Jingming is also single. said: "Weichen has become the humeral minister of this loyal country, so he made up his mind. Never appear in the Qinglou restaurant, closed every day. For our court to think about this thief's strategy, for this reason, Wechen also probed around, and finally got to know some, Your Majesty, although these things are secret, but Wechen ...... Ahem...... It's easy to find out. It's just that ......Xu Jingming was about to cry again, his eyes were full of tears, full of resentment: "Your Majesty says every day that Weichen is the minister of the humerus, but since he is the minister of the humerus, why should he hide such a thing?" Wechen is thinking, that wolf's ambition, this time we come to help the war, may not be willing to be sincere, Wechen is afraid of luring wolves into the room. ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded, although Xu Jingming was confused, but there was one thing that hit his heart, in Zhu Gaosui's opinion, the surname Hao is not a thing, can the Japanese people be a good thing?

"This time they arrived in our Ming Dynasty, Weichen thought that they must not be allowed to land, if they went ashore, taking advantage of the desperate efforts of the court and the thief army, suddenly attacked, wouldn't it be that the country did not die in the thief army, but died to the Japanese people?"

In fact, there has been a discussion in the cabinet about this, and in any case, this is what everyone is worried about.

It's not a problem for the Japanese to trade, but when the Japanese bring troops to come, it can't help but make people feel worried, if these guys stab them in the back, it will be terrible.

Although Zhu Gaosui hated Xu Jingming, this Xu Jingming suddenly opened his mind, which made Zhu Gaosui suspicious and couldn't help but agree a little, but now he was silent and wanted to see what Xu Jingming wanted to say.

Xu Jingming said with a deep sorrow: "So Weichen thought about it, or felt that the Japanese people must be guarded against, they are from the sea, since they are from the sea, then they must not be allowed to land, I think let them be stationed on the outer islands, for our Ming Dynasty to guard the gateway to the southeast coast, in addition, the imperial court should also allocate a new army, the number does not have to be too much, there are tens of thousands, on the surface it is to garrison the southeast with them, on the other hand, they can also be monitored, if they have a little misconduct, On the one hand, you can immediately contact the inland, on the other hand, you can immediately carry out bomb pressure, so that these Japanese people can not save into the mainland one step, Your Majesty, the heart of harming people can not have, the heart of defense is indispensable, Weichen feels that this matter is important, and please ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

All of a sudden, Xu Jingming became a normal person, a normal Xu Jingming is terrible, this guy is a little not simple.

Zhu Gaosui's eyes cooled, he stared at Xu Jingming, and said slowly: "What Xu Qing said is quite reasonable, oh, how did you think of it?" ”

Xu Jingming was dumbfounded all of a sudden, looked at Zhu Gaosui, and squeaked.

Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly: "Could it be that someone is pointing you behind your back, who is this person?" ”

Xu Jingming's face changed, and he flatly denied it: "No, no, Weichen just wants to share his worries for the king." ”

"Is it Qiu Fu, or Zhang Fu, or Zhu Yong?"

Xu Jingming was like a deflated ball, but Zhu Gaosui was indifferent.

This guy is a pistachia, others don't know, but Zhu Gaosui knows that this kind of scum scum suddenly became a loyal minister of both civil and military affairs, and he couldn't help but start thinking about what great achievements he wanted to make, most of the time he was looking for a way around, and the Xu family had many protégés and former officials in the army, so naturally, someone secretly mentioned him.

If this is the case, then all the explanations make sense.

"So...... You want to lead troops to the southeast front, don't you? Zhu Gaosui's eyes were blazing, staring at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty refused to go to Jiangxi, and Weichen was thinking, if Weichen stayed in Beijing, he would really fall into the wisdom of his ancestors, and he was sorry for His Majesty's kindness, so he had to find some fun...... He wanted to say that it was fun, but his tone tightened, and he continued: "Do serious things." ”

Zhu Gaosui's face loosened a little.

This guy wants to go to Songjiang and the southeast, it doesn't matter, after all, at the moment, the real main battlefield is in Jiangxi, and as Xu Jingming said, the Japanese side is really reassuring, as for Xu Jingming, it seems that he can no longer stay in Beijing, let this guy continue to stay in Beijing, he has to go crazy, think about it, let him go out of Beijing is a good thing.

Zhu Gaosui said slowly: "Yes, you are the minister of the Pillar Country, I still expect you to be the mainstay, now since you take the initiative to ask for help, how can I refuse you again and again, and this time I will give you a heavy burden." ”

Xu Jingming was suddenly excited, didn't say a word, bowed to the ground, and said: "Weichen is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not give up." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the port of Edo in the Wa Kingdom, the Wa people who had been waiting for a long time had received an urgent report from the clipper, and the Wa Kingdom immediately celebrated with a crown, and the Emperor had summoned Prince Yongjian, and immediately, an imperial decree came out, and the Wa State Administration also issued an excerpt about the alliance of tomorrow, and the emperor gave his permission, and countless troop carriers gathered outside the Edo port.

Over the years, the Wa State has emulated Lang Son, has been increasingly effective, they use a variety of cottages, as well as a large amount of silver in the country, forced out countless workshops, but the production level of the workshop is low-end, although it can be mixed up, but after all, it is far from Lang Son goods, and in the long run, Lang Son will definitely suppress the goods of the Wa State, in view of such hidden concerns, the founder of the Wa State Prince Yongjian has already begun to conspire with many senior ministers and ministers, determined to use extraordinary means to avoid the crisis that is about to be caused, The Japanese state had to open up new markets, as Langsan did to the West, and monopolize them, and at the same time use force if necessary to protect the right of the Japanese state.

In fact, this foreseeable crisis is related to the founding of the country before the Japanese people, at the beginning, the Japanese people were almost poor, there was no capital for development, in order to establish a workshop, a lot of funds came from the Japanese government, that is, with the government's tax revenue to build a workshop, but there is no market for the things made by these workshops, how to solve it, the Japanese people came up with a way, their iron workshops, firearms workshops, textile workshops, dockyards were all ordered by the Japanese officials and soldiers, and the Japanese taxes were used to store the army. Then the army ordered a large number of military supplies, and the workshop was put into operation, which built this grass platform team.

It's just that the most direct crux of this approach is that they have raised so many military horses and finally have many workshops, but the demand in the civilian market is not very large, and the Japanese court is now in debt, if this time does not find a new civilian market to replenish, or these more and more large military horses will stay on this island forever, then sooner or later, the entire Japanese state will collapse.

Therefore, as early as a few months ago, Prince Yongjian, the ruling faction within the Wa Kingdom, had put forward a slogan, saying: "Within three years, there will be a war in the Wa Kingdom, and the imperial kingdom will rise and fall, in one fell swoop!" (To be continued......)
