Yu Qian calculated more and more, and continued: "The armor, weapons, especially ammunition, of the soldiers consume a lot, the key is that the soldiers are overseas, and the food can be supplied by the Japanese country, but there is no place to replenish the ammunition, so it can only be sent from the Jingshi Wang Gong Factory, so if it is calculated......" Toyama Xiong felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he couldn't listen to what Yu Qian was saying at all, and he only heard two words from beginning to end, silver!

Zhu Qizhen was full of interest and said: "Forget the details, after all, it is a country of friendship, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, you can just say the total number, and the general meaning is good." ”

"Roughly calculated, the cost of five thousand sailors going out on the expedition is about ...... per month" Yu Qian said this, hesitated for a moment, and deliberately did not finish talking once.

Yuto Toyama was going crazy, and he had a sense of foreboding, seemingly, as if, maybe...... Yu Qian smiled politely and said, "The monthly expenses are roughly 300,000 taels of silver!" Hearing this number, Yu Toyama almost drew it, 300,000 taels, or every month!

If your men and horses don't come back for a year and a half, even if the treasury of the Wa Kingdom is emptied, it won't be enough! Zhu Qizhen said happily: "300,000 taels is not too much, and the country of Wa is definitely not short of this bit of silver." "Yu Toyama finally reacted, this is a robbery!

However, even if you know that people are robbing it, what can you do? If you don't agree, those thieves will continue to burn and loot, and the army of the Japanese country will not be able to fight their firearms at all, and sooner or later, the Japanese country will be looted.

Give it to you...... That's too much!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this ...... This ......" Zhu Qizhen said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, just mention any problems, I will help you solve them!" ”

"Yes, yes......" Tomiyama wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, plucked up his courage, and said, "Regarding the capital of the army, is it ......?"

"You mean it's less?" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "I have said that since it is a country of friendship and a country that does not conquer, it should be regarded as a friendly help, half sold and half sent, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, it is okay for me to make a loss-making deal." "Yu Toyama wants to cry, I've never seen such shameless!

There are only 5,000 people, and the military expenditure for a month is 300,000 taels of silver, and that's it...... Or is it half sold and half given?

It is said that the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the state of etiquette, and the treatment of the surrounding vassal countries has always been very generous.

This is clearly a pit of death!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this matter ...... The stakes are high, I ...... Subordinate ...... I'm afraid I don't have that much power......"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry!" Zhu Qizhen looked relaxed and said, "You go back first, report to your general, what emperor, and wait until you discuss it and reply to me." "Tomiyama Xiong chuckled in his heart, of course you are not in a hurry, but we can't afford to wait!

Your men burn and loot every day, and even if they wait for one more day, the damage caused is immeasurable. No, you can't wait!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask Your Majesty the Emperor, if the Japanese Kingdom agrees to provide military expenses, when will the army of the Heavenly Kingdom be launched?" ”

"Well...... this" Zhu Qizhen didn't answer directly, but said,

"Yu Qian, you are the secretary of the military department, you will answer!" Yu Qian nodded and said, "When the army goes out, you need to prepare in advance, if everything goes well, it will be about ...... Three months is enough. Toyama's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Three months? ”

"Yes, if it goes well, three months, considering that the overseas situation is more complicated, such as monsoons, tsunamis and other emergencies, it may take longer." Tomiyama hurriedly said: "I can't wait, I ask His Majesty the Emperor to remember the friendship between the two countries, can you ...... Send troops as soon as possible? Zhu Qizhen asked, "Have you done the master?" ”

"Minister...... Subordinate ...... You can call the shots and pay the heavenly army for three months in advance...... Oh no, two months of military funding, and immediately report to Ashikaga Shogun to discuss the follow-up. "Tomiyama knows that those thieves are undoubtedly the Ming army, whether you admit it or not, this is something that everyone knows.

Don't you want silver, take out 600,000 taels first, whether you go out or not, at least get your people back first!

Zhu Qizhen didn't seem to expect that this person would agree so neatly, and he originally wanted to dry him for a few days, but when they were in a hurry, they would naturally compromise.

You can even take the opportunity to knock on another bamboo bar, and now it's good, you just agreed, is it...... Am I going to be less?

"That'...... Okay, you send the silver first, and the secretary of the military department also said that the army needs to be prepared for the expedition, and if you send the silver one day earlier, I can arrange the dispatch of troops one day earlier. Tomiyama Xiong thought quickly and said: "The subordinate can sign an agreement with the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Wa State, and the first military funds will be sent within a month, and he also asks His Majesty the Emperor to arrange the expedition as soon as possible...... There is no time, I hope His Majesty the Emperor can understand! Zhu Qizhen was helpless, so he had to say: "Okay, I will send someone to draw up an agreement, and you will come over tomorrow to sign it!" Tomiyama hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The subordinates are in charge of the Emperor of the Shogun, the Ashikaga General, and the thousands of people in the country, thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for his grace!" After the person left, Yu Qian asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do next?" Zhu Qizhen straightened his teeth, and he was still regretting in his heart, alas, it was really going to be less.

It should cost 500,000 yuan a month, and even if it is bargained, it will cost at least 400,000 yuan...... Now, no matter how embarrassed he is, he looked at Yu Qian and said, "Since you agreed, let's do it!" Yu Qian asked again: "The Japanese are not people who keep their promises, what if they don't take the silver?" For this, Zhu Qizhen was not worried, and said: "Since I have promised to help them quell the thieves, such a large fleet, so many soldiers and horses, someone must raise them, if the Japanese don't give some silver, are they embarrassed?" As the so-called courtesy is still exchanged, and it is not rude to come and go, they will not understand this truth, rest assured, they will definitely give this silver. "Some words are inconvenient to say clearly, but Yu Qian can also hear the overtones of these words, dare not give silver, I will not send troops.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be carefully considered."

"Oh? What do you think, tell me about it! Yu Qian nodded and said: "The Japanese have come and gone without a trace, even if they are driven away, maybe they will turn back one day, so in order to prevent the coastal areas of the Japanese country from being harassed, my Ming army can be stationed in the Japanese country." For example, Hirado Town, which faces Korea across the sea, is also the passage of the Ming Dynasty through the ocean, if a stronghold is set up here, it is not only conducive to maritime trade, but also has great benefits for the future development of the Ming Dynasty sailors and the search for more routes. Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be a forcible seizure?" ”

"The minister thinks that the Japanese people will definitely welcome us, after all, without the Ming army in charge, the pirates who will rage in the future will definitely make a comeback, and when the time comes, it will cost more money and food, and they should be able to settle this account." Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're right, it's that I didn't think it through, and tomorrow's agreement must be added to this article." Yu Qian continued: "In addition, in order to eliminate the previous suspicions between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese State, the minister thinks that the Ming and the Japanese should deepen their exchanges, and it is better for the emperor to personally issue an order to invite the children of the Japanese and nobles, especially their eldest sons, to come to the Ming Dynasty, or to study or come here for exchanges. ”

"This ...... That's a great idea! It's just that...... Will they come? ”

"Whoever refuses to come, will not protect him!" Yu Qian looked confident and said: "The terrain of the Wa Kingdom is long and narrow, and any place is among the attacks of pirates, and no one is immune. Zhu Qizhen glanced at Yu Qian meaningfully, yes, this guy is on the road!

Yu Qian didn't seem to be satisfied, and continued: "In fact, it's not just the Japanese State, but also North Korea, and its two classes of nobles can also be the same. There are other vassal states such as Ryukyu, Usizang, and Annam, although my Ming Dynasty has a tributary system, but after all, it only deals with the small courts of various countries, if it does not communicate with the nobles of various countries, in the long run, they will inevitably deviate from morality, it is better for the emperor to issue an edict to invite the children of nobles from various countries to come to Beijing. ”

"Wonderful!" Zhu Qizhen slapped the table excitedly and said, "Just do as you say, go and prepare now!" For some reason, my mood suddenly became happy.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that if the ancients played strategy, they were not far behind the modern people.

They are just hindered by the shackles of the historical environment, and their vision is very limited, but they are not stupid! If basic education is popularized and natural science theories are vigorously developed, when the time comes, talents like Yu Qian will emerge, and the Ming Dynasty will not take off...... Early the next morning, Yu Toyama rushed over from Hongroji Temple in a hurry.

However, by the time he finished reading the agreement, he was stupid. The Ming Dynasty demanded that troops be stationed in the Wa State, and moreover, the Wa State was required to bear the military expenses.

This is not enough, but also requires the daimyo of the Japanese kingdom and the children of the nobles to come to learn the cultural knowledge and advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty, which is ...... Isn't it against people as protons?

It's too much of a bully! However, now that people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads, and no matter how much they are humiliated, they must swallow their anger for the time being.

"Your Majesty the Emperor has the courage to ask why this agreement is the same as yesterday's discussion...... What's the difference? Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "After yesterday's discussion, I feel that there are still many problems that have not been solved, such as the rampant ravages of the Japanese invaders, even if I send troops to drive them away, who knows when they will come back, if they do not garrison the army, how to ensure that the Japanese country is not disturbed?" "Tomiyama Yu understood, which means that today you paid the money, I will help you shovel the matter, but it is just a hammer deal, if you don't plan to pay for a long time, in the future

The "Woko" will still beat you. If this continues, the matter will never end. The Wa Kingdom needs to send silver to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, otherwise, they will be beaten.

When is such a day a head! Tomiyama Yu sighed secretly and said, "If the Heavenly Kingdom army is willing to garrison, the whole country of the Japanese kingdom will be grateful, but it is just ...... The country is a small country, I'm afraid I won't be able to take out so much silver......" Zhu Qizhen was already prepared, and said: "If you don't have money, you can exchange things for it." Toyama's heart trembled, and he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty Emperor Qiqi, the country is actually relatively poor, I'm afraid I can't get anything...... Valuable things......" Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "I know, you don't have anything valuable over there, so let's take a few ports out!" "Harbor!

Rao is Toyama Xiong had already prepared in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but have a mouthful of old blood gushing up, and almost fainted on the spot.

This is clearly forcing people to death! First sent troops to pretend to be Japanese to beat us, and then pretended to send troops to level the Kou, let us take the money, and now they want to garrison again, and they want us to cede the port, hehe, what a big game of chess!

Not to mention what protons entered Beijing, is it okay to simply merge the Wa Kingdom directly into the Ming Dynasty? Yu Toyama wanted to cry without tears, and what was in front of him was a complete conspiracy.

No, it's a conspiracy! The conspiracy and trickery are not visible, and it is worthless if it is seen through, but the conspiracy is different, and now people want to kill you openly, but you have nothing to do.

What to do...... He thought about weighing it in his heart, if he didn't give money, the would-be robbers would continue to wreak havoc, and even the Ming might send more

The "Japanese Invaders" plunged the Japanese into panic, and the whole country was shrouded in the smoke of muskets and artillery. In the long run, all the ports will be abandoned, is it possible that the Japanese country will also learn from the Ming Dynasty and implement a sea ban?

This is absolutely impossible, because the land is so vast that even if it does not rely on the sea, it can be self-sufficient.

However, the country is different, not to mention the small size of the country, and there are earthquakes and tsunamis at every turn, and domestic materials are also very expensive, and if you lose the sea, it is equivalent to losing everything.

This silver...... Even if you grit your teeth, you can get it. Out, the Wa Kingdom will be completely reduced to a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, from now on, no matter what you do, you have to act according to the color of others.

If you don't come out, it's completely gone. Toyama Xiong weighed it for a long time, and had to say: "The subordinates have replaced the whole country, thank you to His Majesty the Emperor!" Finally, I still admit it.

Because I don't have a choice! Zhu Qizhen was very satisfied, and immediately ordered: "Yu Qian, go and prepare now, and as soon as the money arrives, you will send troops immediately!" Yu Qian saluted and said, "Obey!" Tomiyama didn't dare to slack off, signed with tears in his eyes, immediately took the agreement, boarded the ship from Ningbo Port, and returned to the Japanese country.

For some reason, he had a feeling of betraying his country for glory...... However, he has obviously done a good deed, and only in this way can he ensure that the Japanese country will not be attacked by those with muskets and artillery

"Wako" killed. With mixed feelings, he looked at the sea, the sky was clear, and the blue waves were sparkling...... Wait a minute!

He seemed to see a ship with a red three-headed dragon painted on its sails. Three-headed Jiao, Wako!

Tomiyama hurriedly shouted, "It's a wolf!" However, one of the hundred households on the boat stepped forward to take a look, and said, "Where did the Japanese come from, it's just a fishing boat, don't make a fuss!" "Toyama was stunned, can't you see such a big three-headed monster dragon figure?

"If you look closely, my lord, it's the ship of the Japanese Bandits!"
