Castle Lord's Mansion.

It is said to be the city lord's mansion, but it still looks dilapidated, but the densely planted bamboo forest in the mansion has added some exotic style to this simple city lord's mansion.

Xu Dalanyu and Li Jin sat together, discussing how to talk to the envoys of the Southern and Northern Dynasties on Wajima.

"Li County Order, you know a lot about Wajima, how do you think we should deal with these two waves of envoys?"

Xu Da sat on the main seat and looked at Li Jin on the left-hand side, wanting to ask Li Jin's advice.

"Xu Dashuai, now the Southern Dynasty is strong, and its territory far exceeds that of the north, and Emperor Daigo holds the three artifacts of Wajima, which seems to be more popular."

Li Jin briefly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then asked:

"In addition, the Northern Dynasty was attacked by our navy and lost Iwami Province, and its strength was further weakened, and the gap with the Southern Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger."

"Who do we think we should help?"

Xu Da hadn't spoken yet, but Lan Yu next to him replied directly:

"Of course, it's to help the Northern Dynasty."

"The Southern Dynasty is already so powerful, if you help the Southern Dynasty to attack the Northern Dynasty, then the Northern Dynasty will be finished sooner or later."

"Our Ming Dynasty is here to make profits in the chaos, if the island is unified, then what reason do we have for the Ming Dynasty to stay on the island?"

"Besides, the art of war is cloudy, and the weak are united to resist the strong, and now only by supporting the Northern Dynasties can we continue to maintain the balance of the island."

Xu Da nodded, saying that there was nothing wrong with what Lan Yu said, and now in this situation, we should still help the Northern Dynasty and continue to maintain balance, so that the Ming Dynasty can be left and right and tap interests.

But Li Jin shook his head and said:

"It's not appropriate, we should continue to support the Southern Dynasty and suppress the Northern Dynasty."

Li Jin's unreasonable words directly surprised Xu Da and the others, and they all looked sideways and looked at Li Jin for some reason.

"What's the explanation? Didn't we agree before we came to help the Northern Dynasties, fight against the Southern Dynasties, and let the Japanese Island fall into a situation of fragmentation and dismember the entire Japanese Island? ”

"This time and that time."

Li Jin slowly explained:

"Marshal Xu, General Lan, what do you think of the combat power of the Wadao army?"

Lan Yu had fought with the Japanese army, so he naturally knew best, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"The army of Wajima has the spirit of blood and bravery, but the equipment is extremely rudimentary, and the array is scattered, like a farmer."

"Just like the Japanese on our beach at the beginning, they are ferocious, but as an army, these Japanese armies are still a little inadequate in the face of a large army."

Li Jin nodded in agreement and said:

"The people of Wajima, the perennial war, coupled with the extreme religious baptism, the fierce folk customs are also reasonable."

"But it is undeniable that this kind of fierce character, under the fire of our Ming Navy, there is only one way to die."

"Before coming to Wajima, I admit that I overestimated these Wa troops, so I thought about supporting the Northern Dynasty, weakening the Southern Dynasty, and finally dismembering the Wajima."

"But now that we have a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Japanese army, there is no need for us to be so conservative."

"We should speed up the pace, first destroy the Northern Dynasty, and then raid the Southern Dynasty, and finally include the entire Wadao Island in the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

"At that time, the gold and silver mines on the entire Wa Island are all in the pocket of our Ming Dynasty."

"Presumably, for the sake of the emperor, the emperor will definitely not oppose this plan, and we can even ask the emperor for reinforcements."

"The people of Wajima, all of them drink blood, like savages, with a fierce temperament, and with religious evil, these people's thoughts will also be very extreme."

"The Imperial Court of Wadao even specially sent warrior ronins to enter my Daming sea area, intrude on my Daming sea territory, and kill my Daming people."

"This kind of country, this kind of nation, is not qualified to live in this world at all."

"If we destroy this country, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, avenging the people of the Ming Dynasty, and more importantly, for the future of the Ming Dynasty, no longer being harmed by this kind of country."

"The two generals think about it, the great achievement of destroying the country is close at hand, and if they don't take it, they will be blamed for it."

After Li Jin's analysis, Xu Da and Lan Yu's performances are completely different.

Xu Da's face was calm, as if he had no interest in the so-called work of destroying the country.

But Lan Yu's face was blazing, and his eyes were full of light, as if he had seen his future glory.

But this kind of thing is obviously not for Lan Yu to call the shots, even if it is Xu Da, he can't make up his mind.

"In this matter, you still need to ask the emperor for instructions."

"If the emperor agrees, this matter can be implemented."

"Of course, then ask Xu Dashuai to report truthfully, and explain the situation on the island and the combat strength of the Japanese army to the emperor one by one, so as not to mislead the emperor."

Li Jin also agreed with asking Zhu Yuanzhang, but with Li Jin's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Such a grand event, coupled with the effortlessness of destroying Wadao, occupying the rich mineral resources of Wadao, as well as the territory and population of slaves, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will wake up laughing in his dreams.

"This matter will be discussed after the emperor's reply, but the envoy of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, you can lift it first."

Xu Da decided to let Li Jin contact the envoys of the Northern and Southern Dynasties on Wajima.

"Test the details of the two, if you can strive for more benefits for Daming, it will naturally be better."

Li Jin had no opinion, and then the three of them discussed some suggestions about Iwami Castle, and when they decided to start the renovation of Iwami Castle, Li Jin Shi Ran left the living room and prepared to go to the post house to meet the messenger of Wajima.

...

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu followed his own mission, day and night, and finally arrived at Iwami Castle on the third day of the fall of Iwami Province.

This time he traveled north, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu hoped to observe how strong the Ming army's combat effectiveness was.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, for three or four days here, he could only spend his days in the post house every day, and he was not allowed to go out at all.

Not to mention going to see the military appearance of the Ming army, you can't even enter the city to check the current scene of Iwami Castle.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu approached Shigehide Suzuki, the leader of the envoys, hoping that he would be able to ask for a meeting with the Ming general, at least so that they could move freely, otherwise it would be too passive to go on like this.

Shigemu Suzuki did not promise Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but just said lightly:

"Lord Yiquan, let's get the alliance of the Ming Dynasty this time."

"Yoshimitsu, this trip to Iwami is very important for us, don't make any extraneous branches, do you understand?"

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was warned by Shigemu Suzuki, this time he became honest and quietly waited in the house for the summons of General Daming.

The boring waiting made the patience of the young man Ashikaga Yoshimitsu almost exhausted, and just when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thought that the Ming Dynasty did not intend to see them at all, someone finally reported that the messenger of the Ming Dynasty had come and asked them to go and meet them.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was in good spirits, quickly got up from the bed, and followed Suzuki Shigemuhide to the meeting room of the post station, preparing to obtain the alliance of the Ming Dynasty.

Soon the two entered the meeting room, and they saw a young Ming official, sitting on the main seat, looking at them with a smile.

"Meet your lordship."

Suzuki Shigemuhide didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly knelt down, and saluted Lee, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu bowed and saluted together.

"Excuse me, please be seated."

Li Jin smiled and looked very kind, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu always felt that Li Jin's smile was a little infiltrating, which made him creepy.

"I don't know why the two of you came to Iwami Castle this time?"

Li Jin got straight to the point, and Shigehide Suzuki replied:

"The Ming Dynasty had some misunderstandings about our dynasty before, and this time I came here to eliminate the misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?"

Li Jin's smile remained unchanged, and he asked rhetorically:

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Shigehide Suzuki slowly took out a piece of begging for thieves from his arms, spread it on the table, and said:

"The envoy who went to Daming last time was sent by our court, and this document to beg the thief was also reached between our court and Daming."

"The subordinates don't understand why the Great Ming Army came from afar, why it would attack the territory of our dynasty instead of helping our dynasty to quell the rebellion?"
