Above the blue waves.

Zhu Biao and Tang He stood on the deck, facing the wind.

Hearing Tang He's question, Zhu Biao bowed his head slightly and said:

"More than expected."

"If the reserves reported by Li Jin are true, I am afraid that it will be enough for the Li family to inherit for hundreds of years, and they will not worry about eating and drinking."

Tang He's eyes suddenly burst out with an astonishing light, and he said with great joy:

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

朱标 says:

"Uncle Tang doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the amazing reserves, how could my father send me here in person?"

"If it's just a small silver mine, do you need Uncle Tang to garrison it with 10,000 elites with such fanfare?"

Tang He nodded with a smile, and his heart was full of surprise.

It was beyond my expectations to think that it was just a random investment, and that I could get such a big gain.

Originally, because of the ocean, the mood caused by the depression became light and light, and the wind and sun were beautiful.

Even looking at the sea that was originally extremely annoying, it turned out to be cute and abnormal at this moment, and sighed loudly:

"This island is really a treasure of feng shui, with this place, my Ming will soon become rich."

"The sea is boundless, and I don't know how many places like Wajima are overseas."

"If Daming can include all these places in his bag, why worry that Daming will not prosper?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, his eyes began to narrow slightly, and he muttered:

"Yes, overseas is full of gold, and there are treasures everywhere."

"I can't lose the sea, I must conquer the ocean, so that my Ming can achieve the great cause of no one before and no one after me."

Zhu Biao has his own lofty ambitions in his heart, and he is far from being as cowardly as Zhu Yuanzhang seems.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to control is too strong, causing Zhu Biao to have to accommodate Zhu Yuanzhang many times, otherwise it may cause estrangement between father and son.

But after Zhu Biao is not by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he will naturally form his own independent style of doing things, which is also the reason why Zhu Biao can become the first prince in the future.

This overseas trip has shown that Zhu Biao has begun to focus on overseas.

If this trip to Wajima can reap the expected results, presumably the center of gravity of Zhu Biao's future administration will begin to shift towards the ocean.

After all, the development of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty needs to be carried out step by step, and various measures such as population, agriculture, economy, and commerce can only be continuously relied on by time accumulation.

If Zhu Biao found that he could rely on robbery and plunder the wealth and population of other countries overseas, so as to return to the Ming Dynasty for development, it would greatly accelerate the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Absorb the nutrients of other countries to supplement the seedling of Daming, so that Daming can quickly grow into a towering tree.

Zhu Biao thought about it and felt that this matter was feasible, after all, Zhu Biao had seen the force of the Ming Navy with his own eyes.

Most of the small countries on the sea around them are still drinking blood, as if they are uncivilized, how can they be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty?

However, the Confucian education that Zhu Biao received since he was a child is still firmly binding Zhu Biao, making him think that this is an immoral behavior, but one cannot be the other.

Although the country is big, the belligerent will die, and the blood in Zhu Biao's heart slowly subsided.

Everything will be said after seeing Li Jin first, and he believes that Li Jin should be able to give himself a satisfactory answer.

Let yourself choose the most suitable path between the dilemma of plunder and justice.

Tang He and Zhu Biao had their own concerns, and they were all silent for a while, quietly looking at the undulating sea, and slowly sailing towards Wa Island.

...

Iwami Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Those miscellaneous people of the Southern Dynasty still dare to refuse our proposal?"

Lan Yu's loud voice kept ringing in the City Lord's Mansion, as if he had a great complaint against the Southern Dynasty.

"This Southern Dynasty is simply a waste, the territory is bigger than others, and the army is more than others, and as a result, since the founding of the country, it has not won a few battles at all."

"They are not even as good as the Northern Dynasty, if it weren't for our arrival, these miscellaneous pieces would be killed by the Northern Dynasty in a short time."

"How dare you reject our treaty now? In my opinion, we might as well unite with the Northern Dynasties and kill the Southern Dynasties first. ”

After so many days of familiarity, Lan Yu also heard a little about the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties on Wajima.

In his opinion, the so-called Southern Dynasty is simply a bunch of waste, and they have never won a war.

Hearing Li Jin say that the envoys of the Southern Dynasty were unwilling to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, he was immediately furious and eager to lead his troops into the capital of the Southern Dynasty.

Seeing Lan Yu's angry appearance, Li Jin understated it and said softly:

"Yongchang Hou, don't worry, this treaty is indeed very harsh, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept it at first."

"I have invited Tian Shangjiro to come to the military camp tomorrow to observe the military strength of my Daming."

"I believe that after reading it, they should have a clear understanding."

"If you don't know how to be interesting at that time, don't blame us for being polite."

Xu Da sat on the main seat, and saw that Li Jin and Lan Yu both looked murderous, and said lightly:

"The emperor is going to send a special envoy to come soon, and this matter will wait for the special envoy to come, and then let's talk about it."

"Marquis Yongchang, you go down to prepare for tomorrow's military exercise, and you must make the movement bigger."

"Let these barbarians on the island see what the power of the Ming is."

Although Xu Da did not express his position, the meaning of his words was that he was a little angry at these people who didn't know what to do.

Lan Yu naturally understood what Xu Da meant, rubbed her hands excitedly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked:

"I have an idea, can you put the drill venue outside the city gate tomorrow?"

"Let the messenger of the Wajima Island and the people of Iwami Castle see and see."

"When the time comes, I will prepare a big gift for them, which will definitely make them unforgettable for life, and they will never dare to be my enemy."

Xu Da looked at Lan Yu suspiciously, but seeing Lan Yu's confident look, he finally nodded and said:

"Don't play too much, and you need these messengers or go back to report the news."

"Don't worry, there will never be any mistakes."

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he left with a puff of goodbye.

After Lan Yu left, Li Jin asked Xu Da again:

"Why did the emperor send a special envoy here? Is it because you don't feel at ease with us? ”

Xu Da shook his head and said:

"Probably not, the envoy is an acquaintance of you and me, if you don't feel at ease, you won't send him."

"Acquaintances? Who? Could it be Lao Huang again? ”

Li Jin immediately thought of the grumpy old man.

If it's really him, I don't know what kind of moth will be made.

After Xu Da heard Li Jin's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only say:

"No, you'll find out then."

"When the envoy arrives, you can also tell you the plan you want to swallow the island."

"The envoy has a weak temperament, if you can convince him all, presumably there will be no problem with the emperor."

Li Jin's eyes lit up, if this was the case, then he really needed to work hard to persuade such a so-called envoy to agree with his plan.

The island must be recovered, and these Japanese people on the island, as well as this nation, will be completely wiped out in this world.

This kind of inferior nation, living in this world, is the greatest disrespect for Li Jin, a traverser.

Thinking of this, Li Jin said to Xu Da again:

"Since the envoy is here, what about the reinforcements we asked for earlier?"

"Did the emperor send reinforcements to support us? After all, Iwami Silver Mountain is so important, if it is lost, wouldn't it be our sin? ”

Xu Da glanced at Li Jin, what kind of reinforcements, isn't it that Li Jin wants to further enhance his strength and prepare for the annexation of Wadao?

With only the 30,000 navy in his own hands, no matter how many people come to Wajima, tens of thousands of people come, and tens of thousands of people die, what reinforcements do you need?

However, Xu Da didn't break it, but replied lightly:

"The emperor supported 10,000 Ming troops, including 3,000 elite cavalry."

"But there is only one responsibility of these reinforcements, and that is to protect Iwami Silver Mountain, so don't think about it that you shouldn't have."

Li Jin automatically ignored the latter sentence and directly high-fived and praised:

"Great."

"That way, there's a better chance that the plan will succeed."

"Plans? What is the plan? ”
