With the end of the first five-year recovery period after this war. The problem in the northeast has basically stabilized, and grain and oil crops are also abundant in various places. The imperial army's grain depot and the local standing positions also have enough surpluses, even if they start another war, there is no problem.

This period of time in history roughly corresponds to the last years of Shunzhi, the weather and natural environment were already in the process of improving, and the intensity of the Xiaoice period was gradually weakening, and now it is finally enough for Daming to eat this wave of heavenly dividends.

In addition, when it comes to Shunzhi, I have to say a digression, in the fifth year after the surrender of the Ming Dynasty, at the age of twenty-one, Fulin still died, five years longer than his eldest brother Haoge.

No one doubts whether Fulin was killed, and they all think that he died of natural causes - and there is a precedent for this kind of thing, when Zhao Kuangyin was in a yellow robe, he seemed to be so polite to Emperor Zhou Gong Chai Zongxun, an eight-year-old child of Emperor Zhou Gong, didn't he live for another thirteen years, and at the age of twenty-one, he "died of natural causes".

Emperor Zhou Gongdi's death, but no one in the world doubted it. In this case, Fu Lin died of illness and old age at the age of twenty-one, and it was no problem, and there were no thorns in the process.

The budding ones were also killed by the Ming Thunder, anyway, the scale of the Han people in the Northeast is five times that of Manmeng. Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong were not vegetarians in the construction of military cantonments in the border areas, and they just harvested the unstable parts of the people's hearts.

After the situation was completely stabilized, at a year-end meeting at the end of the 15th year of Longwu, Zhu Shuren finally planned to deploy some new actions.

Enough recuperation and recuperation, it is time to maintain the intensity of action on a small scale once in a while, and move your muscles and bones.

He will not go to chaos in a large-scale war, but as a follow-up extension of the Manchu and Mongolian conquest wars, it is still possible to investigate the responsibility of some nepotistic forces that have previously been implicated with the pseudo-Qing Dynasty and unclear nepotism, and not to expand the problem.

The first object that Zhu Shuren thought of that needed to be punished was some small forces in the Fusang area that were said to have violated the ban of the Ming Dynasty and the ban of the Fuso shogunate ten years ago, traded with the puppet Qing without authorization, and provided strategic support for the puppet Qing.

It must be clarified here - it is not because Zhu Shuren, as a traverser, has any special hatred and discrimination against the Fusang people that he went to find trouble. But at this juncture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Fusang people of this era did have problems themselves, because of various butterfly effects, they were caught by the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, in the process of reporting on the work of the local real power governor at the end of the year, Zhu Shuren recruited his younger brother Zheng Chenggong, who had been operating on the Liaodong Peninsula and Dayuan Island for five to ten years, and told Zheng Chenggong of his demands.

wants to take advantage of Zheng Chenggong's relatively familiar relationship with the Fusang people to bring a message to the other party, so that the other party can seriously deal with those female thieves who "broke the trade embargo of the Ming Dynasty against the Puppet Qing Dynasty a few years ago and provided strategic materials to the Puppet Qing to deal with the Ming Dynasty".

When Zheng Chenggong first heard this request, he was still very confused: "When did the Fusang people support the pseudo-Qing back then? None of them are next to each other, the trade along the coast of the Ming Dynasty is controlled by you and our two families, and the Fusang people are surrounded by the sea, so it is impossible to trade with the puppet Qing by land, right?"

Zhu Shuren had already obtained the evidence: "Why haven't you supported it? The reason why Emperor Haoge at the end of the puppet Qing Dynasty was able to return to the jurisdiction of General Jilin to delay after the loss of Liaodong caused our Ming Dynasty to spend several more years to completely clean up, an important reason is that the Ezo barbarians of Fusang provided the seeds of Ezo rice to the Pseudo Qing Dynasty!

In addition, I heard that the people of Ezo not only live on Ezo Island, but also in the southern part of Dry Leaf Island, which is north of Ezo Island! The source of the rye seeds that Hauge obtained back then, according to Ben Wang's investigation, seems to be related to the Ezo people!

Don't look at the fact that these Ezo barbarians didn't provide much food at the beginning, but the value of the seeds of the new species is huge! These things will multiply geometrically, and eventually have a significant impact on the fortunes of the country and the pattern of the world!

If it weren't for the fact that the Ezo barbarians violated the Ming Dynasty's Qing trade embargo on neighboring countries, causing the Puppet Qing to re-establish a foothold in the settlement area on the land that was originally unable to grow food on a large scale, would the Ming Dynasty spend so much money to take down the last remnants of the Puppet Qing?

Therefore, if this account is to be settled, at least the Ezo people must pay a price equivalent to the loss of my Daming against Hauge in the final battle! The casualties of the last battle of the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty all need them

Pay! Otherwise, Haoge would have died in Shenyang and had nowhere to run!"

This may seem like a strong word, but it really makes sense logically.

Zheng Chenggong took a long time to understand his eldest brother's rhetoric, and at first he subconsciously wanted to justify: The Ezo people have no contact with Daming at all, and there is no agreement, so how can they breach the contract?

But he quickly thought that the Ezo people did not have an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, but the shogunate of Fuso had an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, although it was not a strict paper treaty, at least it was a gentleman's agreement.

In the past few decades, there have been many restrictions on foreign trade, and only the Ming Dynasty and some Koreans, as well as the Dutch, have issued trade surveys, and trade that is not on the survey is illegal.

And since the Ming Dynasty and the Fuso Shogunate once reached a tacit understanding, it was based on the fact that "the Fuso Shogunate will definitely be able to fulfill his internal management commitments externally, control his subordinates, don't mess around, and can't make any money for profit." Therefore, there is no need for Da Ming to explain everything in detail! This is Da Ming based on trust so he didn't say much!

Now, since the Fuso shogunate can't control the Ezo people, Daming is going to help take care of it!

What's more, the shogun of Fuso has always been officially called "Seiyi Shogun", which means Ezo. It shows that even the emperor of Fuso knew from ancient times that the area they ruled was a local "civilized area", not including those "barbarians", so the shogun had to go to "conquer the country", and this "razor" was never considered a state of complete conquest, so it was not a subject of the Fuso emperor.

Therefore, in the 17th century, Hokkaido and Fuso were indeed two countries de jure speaking! Similar to the relationship between the Ming and Qing dynasties! One is relatively civilized and the other is relatively barbarian.

Since Fusang can't manage the barbarians in the northern section of his archipelago, which led to the collusion between the barbarians in the northeast of China and the process of pacifying the thieves in the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will help the Sangren to take care of it and exterminate the Ezo!

What's more, the Ezo people at that time, in terms of ethnic composition, were closer to the aborigines of Withered Leaf Island further north, and farther away from the main ethnic group of Fuso Island.

Zheng Chenggong felt that the prince's request was very reasonable, and he was not blindly reckless. He humbly accepted the task, but out of caution he asked:

"What if the shogunate of Fuso didn't accept this warning and wanted to solve the problem that the Ezo people couldn't control?"

Zhu Shuren: "Then there is nothing to say, our Ming has to convince people with reason - and this king will let the Fuso shogunate know that the more we Daming is not satisfied when he is invited by courtesy, then there will be more accounts to be calculated!"

As far as this king knows, the Satsuma Domain of the Fuso people forced the Ryukyu, a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, to pay tribute to it more than 30 years ago. In the past thirty or forty years, I heard that the Ryukyus have gradually been encroached upon by the Satsuma Domain, and in fact, they have gradually become a lost country!

If the Fuso shogunate doesn't allow me to solve the Ezo rebellion on my own, then let's settle the problems of the Ryukyu and Satsuma domains together! If you still resist, then find another reason! I believe that the Tokugawa family will know the current affairs! The more you rebel against them, the more you will be charged! In the end, the more benefits will be lost! Only by admitting mistakes obediently can we stop losses in time!"

Zhu Shuren also knew that as time came to the second half of the 17th century, the troubled times of Fusang had come to an end.

However, the population of Fuso has not yet swelled and the samurai are superficial, and it is estimated that it will be at least another hundred years before the samurai will become dissatisfied with the Edo shogunate because of their increasing reproduction. The national identity within the Fuso people is now relatively strong.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

It is the gold, silver and copper mineral resources that are all found in the volcanic archipelago, and there are no others)

In addition, both Zantoshi and Iwami Ginzan have been discovered and mined, and the peak production of these two places was around the beginning of the 17th century, that is, thirty or forty years ago, when the Edo shogunate had just unified Fuso, and now it has begun to decline slightly.

This kind of cash cow Fusang people will definitely fight hard to protect it, and the price is too great to take. However, the benefits are far less than those of picking up leaks when these mines have just been discovered and their potential has not yet been fully exposed.

But even if you don't take the main island of Fuso, if you can take Ezo, recover Ryukyu, or even take Kyushu punitively, it will be very beneficial to the strategic situation of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Because since Zhu Shuren has developed the Northeast and managed it well, he will definitely make good use of the Northeast outlet to the sea in the future. The respective outlets of the Tumen River and the Songhua River to the sea must be utilized, and Vladivostok near the mouth of the Tumen River must also be developed.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty needed the Northeast port not to be blockaded by the first island chain when it broke through the Sea of Japan. If you take Dry Leaf Island and then take Ezo, then the shipping route between Ezo and Dry Leaf Island and Chiba Islands will completely become the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, in the era of modern civilization, the Ming Dynasty can also break through the first island chain in the direction of the Sea of Japan from its own absolute territorial waters.

At the same time, if according to the original development inertia, if Daming only holds one Dayuan Island, it is not enough to completely and absolutely break through the first island chain in the direction of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, because the existence of Daming is not strong enough in the sea area on both sides of Dayuan Island.

But if you take back the Ryukyus, which was just destroyed by Fuso a few decades ago, and take it to Kyushu again if you take it to punishment again, the situation will be completely different. At that time, the sea area between Dayuan Island and Kyushu was the backyard of the Ming fleet that freely entered and exited the first island chain.

In contrast, the ships of other countries, after entering the era of civilization, will not be able to enter the East China Sea or the Yellow Sea from any place such as the Miyako Strait, and the entire East China Sea will be wrapped up and become the absolute inland sea of the Ming Dynasty.

These three places that Zhu Shuren fancied were not of great value in the era of land power, but with the logic of world development and entering the era of sea power, the importance of these strategic security points will become more and more prominent.

Just when the Fuso people on the other side had not yet awakened and the cut was not too painful, the excision operation was completed, and it will be a matter of "since ancient times".

As for how to deal with Fusang in the future, it can be handed over to future generations and believe in the wisdom of future generations. If the Fusang people continue to collude with other forces against the Ming Dynasty, then of course they will be further punished.

But now there is no reason, Daming can uphold the "people don't offend me, I don't offend people" to this end, but also to prevent Daming himself from becoming a subdued and tasting the sweetness, and he can't step on the brakes if he expands too much.

After holding the dead leaves of Kyushu Ryukyu Ezo in his hand, even if the Ming Dynasty had to deal with Fusang again, he would not have to cross thousands of miles of sea to go on an expedition, and the logistical difficulty would be reduced countless times.

Between Ezo and the main island, Kyushu and the main island, there is only a strait of a short dozen to dozens of miles. If you really want to do it, the Ming Dynasty can completely hoard enough troops, food and grass in Kyushu and Ezo in advance, and then attack, and you don't have to cross the sea in wartime.

If they can't win in this way, then Zhu Shuren can only doubt whether the IQ and execution of the descendants are too poor, and the ancestors have drawn such a good card for them, it should not be.

……

After Zhu Shuren finished his order, the specific implementation was of course handed over to Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen.

These two people are basically at the top of the Marquis of Daming Military Merit, and Zheng Chenggong is only in his thirties, and Zhang Mingzhen is in his forties and less than fifty, and they are all early confidants of Zhu Shuren, so who doesn't want to fight and strive to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom in his lifetime.

Who let Zhu Shuren start in the south, so there were more admirals in the early henchmen, these two people are representatives of the naval forces, for the future development of sea power in the Ming Dynasty, and in order to encourage the future Ming aspiring young people to march to the sea, get a little admiral Feng Guogong, can also play a role in inspiring future generations.

In Zhu Shuren's mind, there is hope in this life that after the unification of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no one Li Dingguo left.

Zheng Chenggong planned a little

After moving the rhythm and making preparations for a military solution, he then sent his younger brother who stayed in Fuso, Tagawa Shichizaemon, according to Zhu Shuren's request.

As the intermediary of the first contact between the Ming Dynasty and Fuso, he brought a message to the fourth shogun of the Edo shogunate, Tokugawa Ietsuna.

Although Tagawa Nanazaemon's surname is the surname of his mother Tagawa, after all, he still regards himself as a Han, and he is even more proud of his paternal lineage of Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, when the Tokugawa family was given conditions, he did not feel that he was betraying the country.

The original relationship between the Zheng family and the Edo shogunate was not bad, after all, the monopoly had undertaken Fuso's trade with China for many years, and the negotiations proposed this time could be regarded as a reason.

When Tokugawa Ietsuna heard the news, he was really shocked, but he didn't dare to embarrass Tagawa Nanazaemon.

"What? Da Ming actually accused the Ezo barbarian of maintaining a deal with the pseudo-Qing for many years and violating the embargo of Da Ming?"

"What kind of strategic material is Ezo rice! This is nothing more than a rice variety that can be grown in cold regions. How can such a thing as the proliferation of species be blamed on the local authorities!

Besides, hasn't the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty! Why bother turning over such old accounts! Although Ezo rice was planted by Haoge's pseudo-Qing at the beginning, but now it is also cheaper for you Daming, doesn't Daming also grow a large number of Ezo rice outside the Northeast Pass? In this way, the Ezo people of Fusang still have kindness to the Ming Dynasty!"

For the Fusang people, of course, the Ming envoy could not accept it.

The Ming side immediately stated that even according to the principle of reciprocity, the Satsuma Domain on the Fuso side dared to seize the Ryukyu vassal state of the Ming Dynasty 30 years ago, forced the Ryukyus to pay tribute to Satsuma instead, and even gradually annexed the Ryukyus.

And the current state of Ezo cannot be regarded as the actual control of the Fuso shogunate, at most it is a nominally subdued vassal! And since the shogunate can't control this vassal and causes it to collude with the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty has to take care of it! Totally reasonable and legitimate!

After leaving this sentence, Zhang Mingzhen led the Northern Fleet of the Ming Dynasty and prepared to take action against Ezo on his own.

The Southern Fleet of the Ming Dynasty led by Zheng Chenggong reorganized its armament on Dayuan Island, always keeping an eye on the direction of Ryukyu and Satsuma.

Once the Edo shogunate dares to support and counterattack the north, then Zheng Chenggong will retaliate in the south!
