Such a scene was just a small means of influencing the Japanese economy set up by Zhu Youzhen in the Japanese state.

On the other side, the hunt against Tokugawa Iemitsu began at the same time.

Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't believe his ears.

Originally, those Ming officials who always felt that it was quite difficult to do the various requests of the Tokugawa shogunate, but now they are actually responding to their own purchase requests.

And the iron tools that I bought at the beginning were already of high quality for the Wa Kingdom.

Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty actually took the initiative to find the envoys of the Wa State.

Ask him if he is willing to buy more iron weapons made by the Ming Dynasty, and there are no restrictions, as long as you settle with silver, you can buy them directly.

This was undoubtedly a great temptation for the Tokugawa shogunate, which controlled the entire Wa kingdom by force.

What's more, the official of the Ming Dynasty was even willing to provide special weapon customization to the Wa State.

Instead of the first time they were sold weapons, many things were changed by the Tokugawa shogunate after they received the goods and realized that the shape was completely wrong.

"Buy! If you buy them with all your might, you won't have too many weapons at any given time, isn't that the spirit of the samurai? What samurai could refuse such a superior sword! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu's words once again opened up the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom for iron and steel weapons, and compared to such a trade.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty even pulled out conditions that made it even more difficult for Tokugawa Iemitsu to refuse.

Silk, porcelain, tea, and even all the daily necessities of the common people that could be seen in the Ming Supply and Marketing Bureau could be sold to the Tokugawa shogunate at a relatively "preferential" price without reservation.

You must know that although the purchasing power of silver is quite strong, the quantity of goods is really small and pitiful.

Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that he had bought all these Ming goods in the name of the Tokugawa shogunate.

If you set up a large number of sales points belonging to the Tokugawa shogunate throughout the country, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money by setting up a supply and marketing bureau market similar to the Daming Dynasty.

But there is only one question about this matter that makes Tokugawa Iemitsu feel a little uncomfortable.

That is, the Ming Dynasty asked the Wa State to pay all the money in silver at one time.

And in the words of the Ming Dynasty official at the time, if the Japanese could grasp this opportunity, it would be possible to continue such trade exchanges in the future.

If the Tokugawa shogunate refuses such an opportunity, or if the number of goods purchased at one time is too small, it will be difficult in the future.

Tokugawa Iemitsu thought for a moment.

Anyway, it's all about making money for yourself, and there's nothing wrong with paying early.

In addition, the current Tokugawa shogunate's treasury has silver that has been exchanged for Tokugawa treasure banknotes from all over the country.

The follow-up events made the painting style of the whole thing gradually become more and more weird.

Almost every once in a while, the officials of the Ming Dynasty would summon the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to each other's residences.

Every time I find them, things are almost surprisingly consistent.

Sell something.

Ironware, swords, grain, silk, felt, there is almost nothing that the Ming Dynasty does not sell.

This made Tokugawa Iemitsu very puzzled, but at the same time, he really couldn't refuse the temptation brought by these things.

On the one hand, he was able to gather a large number of people to continue mining Iwami Silver Mountain even in the bitter cold of winter, and on the other hand, he began to frantically embezzle the silver that was exchanged for treasure money in the shogunate.

After all, in Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, since the Tokugawa treasure money in the hands of the common people can buy things, not to mention that it is so easy to carry, why must it be exchanged for silver and then returned to them?

As long as you use this silver to buy enough goods in Daming and sell them in the market, it won't take long to not only make up for these shortfalls, but also make a lot of money.

....

Daming.

In the capital of Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Youzhen looked at the map of Annan in front of him in the Dongnuan Pavilion in the palace, but the whole person's brows were tightly locked.

And beside Zhu Youzhen were Meng Tu, who had just returned to Beijing, and Bi Zisu, who was summoned back from Liaodong.

"Annan . . . The whole terrain is actually more like a gourd, thick on both sides, thin in the middle, not only this piece in the north is also closely connected with the Ming Dynasty, and the two borders are steep mountains and mountains, and there is no road that can pass freely. ”

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhu Youzhen suddenly regretted allowing Huo Weihua of the Military Department to transform all the original guards into the Pingnan Army overnight.

At this time, Bi Zisu on the side also frowned, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty.. If this is the case, if the Pingnan Army enters Annam from the north, I am afraid that the poor climate and terrain in the local area can make the entire Pingnan Army be dragged down quite seriously. ”

Meng Tu on the side also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, although there is still a certain difference between this Pingnan Army and the Tianhu Army, in general, most of the main soldiers are still from the north, such a humid environment and bad weather..."

"The two Aiqing want to say that if we attack Annam from the north, not only will we have to face the problems brought by the environment, but more importantly, the problem of adaptation, right?"

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he turned around and sighed and said, "Indeed! Although the local troops in Annam were not as well trained and equipped as the Ming army, their familiarity with the local terrain was unattainable by the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Annan occupies the most favorable terrain for them, jungle fighting. . . Daming really has no such experience, and this kind of battle is probably very different from the wide terrain and straightforward battles in the grassland and Liaodong. As soon as Meng Tuo finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen took it and said.

"Indeed, I'm afraid that Huo Weihua will have to suffer a lot here, and even this battle of Annan will be lost because of such an inconspicuous trivial matter!"

Just when the two thought that the battle of Annan was destined to be extremely tragic, Zhu Youzhen looked at the map in front of him and laughed.

The two looked at Zhu Youzhen with some confusion.

I only heard him say: "I came to the two Aiqing today, just to tell the two Aiqing to persuade Huo Weihua to replace me and persuade Huo Weihua that attacking Annan from the north must suffer a big loss!" There is absolutely no way I would make such a joke with the lives of my own soldiers! ”

However, Bi Zisu opened his mouth to respond: "Your Majesty.. This is naturally not difficult to convince Huo Weihua, but what if the battle of Annam is not attacked from the north? ”

"Since the north is going to suffer!! Then the army of the Ming Dynasty cannot enter from the north, while the army of Annam can occupy an advantage in the north, they are also limited by the terrain, as long as a part of the army of the Heavenly Tiger Army is deployed along the border area of Annam! They can't get out anyway! ”

Zhu Youzhen said.
