In the upper study.

Zhu Yuanzhang read the treaty agreement in his hand and the document of the thief on Wadao back and forth several times.

There are more and more doubts in my heart, and I don't understand why Li Jin wants to make things so troublesome.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Wadao is just a small country, as long as the imperial army arrives, isn't a small country like Wadao captured?

Where is there such a trouble? Do you want to let Wajima pay compensation for land cession? Isn't it a big move to take off your pants and fart?

Zhu Yuanzhang was undecided and decided to summon Liu Bowen into the palace to play the right game.

But this time Zhu Yuanzhang not only summoned Liu Bowen alone, he also called Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong over.

Of course, there is also Song Lian, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, after all, diplomacy is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

It didn't take long for several important ministers of the court to be called together by Zhu Yuanzhang and began to study Li Jin's letter of begging for thieves.

As for the treaty, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was more radical, and he would wait until a few people read this article to discuss the thief.

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang only knew a little about Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to open the sea, and after seeing this article begging for thieves, they were suddenly a little confused.

I don't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang wrote such an article to beg thieves?

No matter what happens to Wajima, it has nothing to do with Daming, let alone I haven't heard of anything big happening in Wajima?

Song Lian was even more confused, although he was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but he had already handed over the matter of sending an envoy to Daming to Fei Qing to be responsible.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wrote an essay on the island of thieves, which couldn't help but make the second monk scratch his head.

Liu Bowen may be the only person in the field who knows, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang has already discussed the opening of the sea with him, and he learned from Zhu Yuanzhang that Wadao produces Jinshan silver mine.

This point made Liu Bowen understand that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely attack Wajima.

It's just that he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to start so quickly, in just a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang has already concocted such a document to beg for thieves.

However, this article made Liu Bowen's eyes light up and relieved Liu Bowen's worries for many days.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw that several people had finished reading it, he coughed lightly and began to ask:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this document for begging for thieves?"

Li Shanchang was the first to stand up as usual and replied:

"Superior, Rong Chen asks a question first, who is the hand of this inscription?"

"Libu Langzhong, Li Jin."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, but this sentence surprised everyone present.

Li Jin, didn't he serve as a county magistrate in Shanghu County? Why did you suddenly run to the Ministry of Rites, and what kind of Ministry of Rites did you play?

Hu Weiyong and Liu Bowen couldn't help but look at Song Lian, after all, Song Lian is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he should know this matter best.

But Song Lian also looked puzzled, as if he didn't remember that there was a Lang Zhong named Li Jin in his Ministry of Rites.

"Li Jin has a good understanding of the national conditions of Wajima, so we specially ordered Li Jin to be the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, so there is no need to make a fuss about this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw everyone's expressions, opened his mouth to explain, and then continued to ask:

"Do you think Li Jin's essay on the thief is appropriate?"

"On the throne, the old minister thinks that this rhetoric against thieves is too fierce and inappropriate."

When Li Shanchang heard that it was from Li Jin's handwriting, he immediately began to give a critical admonition, saying:

"And on this article begging for thieves, it is really nonsense to ask us to send troops to the Ming Dynasty."

"That Wa Island is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, and it is still far away from the ocean, although our Ming army is elite, but can it not fly over?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Hu Weiyong, as a disciple of Li Shanchang, naturally raised his hand in favor for the first time.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word at the moment, and his eyes swept to Song Lian and Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen was still weighing the pros and cons in his heart, as if he was thinking about something, and did not answer immediately, but Song Lian next to him opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the original intention of this article to beg the thief is very good."

"As a subject country of our Ming Dynasty, if Wadao really falls into civil strife and there are rebellious ministers and thieves, our Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, does have the obligation to set things right."

"Eradicate the rebel ministers of Wajima, return Wadao to a prosperous future, and ensure the interests of my Ming vassal country."

"However, this article against thieves is a bit taken for granted."

"As Li Xiang said, Wadao is separated from Wa Dao by the sea, and even if I send troops, I will not be able to reach Wa Dao."

"Yes, Weichen thought that the article on begging for thieves could be released, but the paragraph requesting Daming to send troops should not be added."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his chin, and his eyes changed to Liu Bowen, wanting to hear Liu Bowen's suggestion.

Liu Bowen took a moment and said softly:

"The minister thinks that I should send troops."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise:

"Oh? Where did Berwyn say this? Come on. ”

"Since the time of the previous dynasty, Wajima has always refused to accept the king, and its strength is not weak."

"At the beginning, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, launched a total of three expeditions in order to conquer the island."

"It's a pity that because of the stubborn resistance of Wajima, and the use of the sea antenna as a barrier, it was finally defeated."

Liu Bowen talked eloquently, since the last time he discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang about going to sea, Liu Bowen has made up for his knowledge about overseas at home.

In the books, the record of Wajima is slightly detailed.

At the beginning, Kublai Khan's three expeditions to the Japanese island, but all of them returned with feathers, made Liu Bowen remember deeply.

At the same time, it also cast a haze on Liu Bowen's plan to conquer Wadao.

After all, the Mongolian iron cavalry, which was powerful and unparalleled in combat power at the beginning, was helpless against Wadao, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, who is still tired.

This worry has been haunting Liu Bowen's heart, until today I see this article begging for thieves.

In Liu Bowen's view, this article against thieves is not from the hand of Li Jin, but more like from the hand of the Japanese people.

Or it can be said that Li Jin used the name of the Japanese people to draft a document against thieves.

But it doesn't matter who wrote it, the important thing is that if this article against thieves is really prevalent in Wajima, then the Ming Dynasty can enter Wajima justifiably.

Why did Kublai Khan fail back then? It was because the distance between Wajima and the Central Plains was too far, and once Wajima built fortifications on the seashore and the army could not enter Wajima for a long time, there would be problems with the logistics supply of the army.

After all, the biggest problem of the labor expedition is the logistics problem.

If the Ming army could get permission from Wajima, even if it was only to occupy a small foothold, it would be fatal for Wajima.

Therefore, this article on the thief made Liu Bowen feel that if Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to crusade against Wadao, he would really be successful.

"The minister thinks that this paper can completely prevent our Ming Dynasty from repeating the mistakes of the past and help us successfully land on Wa Island."

"The minister suggested that this text should be copied in multiple copies at once, and then someone should be sent to find a way to spread it on Wajima."

After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he directly let Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Song Lian be blinded.

What is Liu Bowen talking about? Are you talking about the same topic?

Still landing on Wajima? Daming doesn't even have a naval army, how can he land? Is this Liu Bowen crazy?

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Li Shanchang stood up directly and accused Liu Bowen and said:

"Does Liu Yushi want our Ming soldiers to swim to Wadao?"

"The sea is very dangerous, and there are both pirates and pirates, you simply treat the lives of my Ming soldiers as child's play."

Li Shanchang was indignant, but Hu Weiyong did not stand up to help his teacher, but looked at Liu Bowen thoughtfully.

Liu Bowen directly ignored Li Shanchang and continued to admonish:

"If the emperor wants to swallow Wajima, the minister thinks that he should not be in a hurry, but first use this document to gradually establish a logistics base after landing on Wajima."

"After the logistics are stabilized, the island will definitely be owned by my Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, Liu Bowen seems to have returned, when he helped Zhu Yuanzhang to make suggestions to fight the world, he was radiant and confident.

But what Liu Bowen said completely shattered Li Shanchang and Song Lian's three views.

Whale Swallow Wa Island???

This Liu Bowen is really crazy!!
