"I wonder what your lord needs your subordinates to do?"

Shigehide Suzuki asked cautiously.

Li Jin's eyes were solemn, and he asked rhetorically:

"Do you know why our emperor refuses to cooperate with you?"

"I don't know."

Shigehide Suzuki bowed his head obediently, as if he was listening to the teachings.

"Could it be that we have some disrespect for the Ming Emperor?"

Li Jin shook his head and explained:

"It's actually quite simple."

"It's that you're not the orthodox Wajima."

"Our Emperor Ming believes that the Celestial Empire is orthodox, how can we cooperate with one of you emperors who is not rightly named?"

When Shigehide Suzuki heard this, he immediately became anxious and explained:

"My lord, our Emperor Guang is the orthodox imperial family, and that Emperor Daigo is not justified at all."

"Please be aware of it."

Li Jin showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said:

"I'm also very embarrassed, you keep saying that your Emperor Meiguang is the orthodox imperial family, but you are even a symbol of the imperial family."

"There are no three artifacts on Wajima, how can I talk to you?"

"Let me tell you the truth, our Ming Emperor has already issued an order to fight against you."

"Huh?? Help, my lord, please help us. ”

Suzuki Shigehide was frightened at this moment, and immediately cried bitterly, and kept kowtowing to Li Jin, asking for help.

"My lord, you know, we have always been in awe of Da Ming, and we are not Da Ming's enemies at all."

"I know it's useless."

Li Jin said helplessly:

"I can delay for you as much as possible, and not send troops to fight for you for the time being."

"But this time is not too long, if you can't prove that your emperor is orthodox during this time, then I can't do anything at that time."

"As long as you can get back the three artifacts of Wajima, this kind of thing is not irreparable."

"But the basis of all this is that your emperor is orthodox, and at least he can retrieve the three artifacts of Wajima, do you understand?"

"My lord, the three artifacts of Wajima are now in the hands of Emperor Daigo, how can we get them back?"

Shigehide Suzuki was suddenly a little shocked.

Originally, they had some disadvantages over the Southern Dynasties, but now Li Jin actually asked them to get back the three artifacts of Wadao, how easy is this?

"Hmph, if you can't even get back the three artifacts of Wajima, do you still have the face to call yourself orthodox?"

Li Jin's face turned cold instantly, and he continued:

"This official is already doing his best to deal with you, do you still want this official to get back the three artifacts of Wadao for you?"

Seeing that Li Jin was angry, Suzuki Shigemu suddenly didn't dare to say any more, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu on the side interjected at this time and said:

"My lord, if we get back the three artifacts of Wajima, will we be able to exchange them for the alliance of the Ming Dynasty?"

"This official will try his best to mediate in the middle, and your sincerity is so sufficient, the emperor will never turn a blind eye."

Li Jin's words were vague, but they gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Suzuki Shigemu a lot of hope.

"Okay, in that case, please give us a little time, we will definitely recapture the three artifacts of Wajima and prove our legitimacy."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said confidently, but Suzuki Shigemu, who was next to him, was very surprised, and didn't understand where Ashikaga Yoshimitsu got his courage.

Li Jin took a deep look at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and then said:

"Okay, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and this official is here waiting for your good news."

"But the speed must be fast, this official can help you delay for a month at most, if there is still no effect after a month, I hope you two don't blame this official."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu arched his hand:

"I will never let the adults down."

"In that case, then you can go down, fight quickly, and don't delay the big thing."

Li Jin immediately waved his hand and sent the two away.

Shigehide Suzuki and the two bowed away.

Li Jin looked at the figures of the two leaving, thoughtful.

And after Suzuki Shigehide returned to the post house, he kept complaining, thinking that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was too arrogant.

The three artifacts of Wajima were regarded as treasures by Emperor Daigo, and they could never be obtained easily, and the only way to get them was to start a war.

However, now the Ashikaga family will not necessarily be the opponent of Emperor Daigo, and if it is launched suddenly, it can only make the Ashikaga family fall into a place of no return.

But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu smiled and said:

"Who said we were going to get back the three artifacts of Wajima?"

"But you just said that..."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said with deep meaning.

"If we don't say that, how can we leave this land of right and wrong?"

……

Dengzhou, surrounded by the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

At the same time, Dengzhou was also a necessary maritime route for the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong.

In the early Hongwu period, Liaodong was also under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, and a large part of the immigrants to Liaodong and the grain distributed were transported from Dengzhou to Liaodong.

In addition, Dengju is also the closest distance to South Korea, especially in places like Busan, and it only takes one day to reach all ports in South Korea from the port of Dengju, which is very convenient.

During the Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou Port was an important treaty port and was also very prosperous.

However, after the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on the sea, Dengzhou gradually declined, the population withered, and the trade routes were cut off, and it has become a real dilapidated place.

But on this day, Dengzhou ushered in a new caravan and a large number of craftsmen.

Accompanying this group of caravans, there were actually a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

When the prefect of Dengzhou heard the news, he hurriedly ran out of the office of the Dengzhou Mansion and warmly greeted the Jinyi Wei Qianhu and Jiang Zhen who came.

After all, Jinyiwei dispatched, either dead or injured, although he didn't know the purpose of Jiang Xuan's visit, but if he was remembered by Jinyiwei because of his own negligence, he was afraid that his prefect would also do it.

"Xiaguan Dengzhou Governor, Bai Jian has seen adults."

"It's very hard for adults to come from afar, so why don't you move to the city and let the adults pick up the wind and wash the dust."

The prefect of Dengzhou is the fourth grade, and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu is the fifth grade, and now the white inspection actually salutes Jiang Xuan, I have to say that this is also a rarity in officialdom.

Jiang Zhen waved his hand and said:

"I'm here for another important purpose."

"Find me a guide immediately, I'm going to Weihaiwei."

"In the future, Weihaiwei will become a direct area under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, and you must not interfere."

Bai Jian was shocked, and he didn't understand what happened to Weihaiwei, who was suddenly so valued by the imperial court.

Don't dare to slack off, Bai Jian planned to personally guide Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen took a deep look at Bai Jian, then smiled slightly and said:

"Lord Bai is really a smart person. In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, so please ask Lord Bai to lead the way. ”

Bai Jian bowed down again and again, saying that he didn't dare, and then personally led the way for Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Zhen waved his hand, and the artisan caravan and some slaves behind him followed Jiang Zhen to the east and went straight to Weihaiwei.

....

In the Honglu Temple, Song Lian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came here in person to negotiate with the Korean envoys.

Zhu Yuanzhang has already given Song Lian a death order, and he must lease the Busan port in North Korea, if not, let all the officials of Honglu Temple get out.

Song Lian didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do, but Song Lian could feel that Zhu Yuanzhang attached importance to this matter.

Thinking of this, Song Lian had to go out in person to negotiate with North Korea, hoping to complete Zhu Yuanzhang's entrustment.

"Lord Song, it's not that we don't want to lend, it's just that we have always had territorial autonomy in North Korea."

North Korean envoy Park Jung-min, in the face of Song Lian's request, did not nod in agreement as expected.

On the contrary, he began to talk about the territorial sovereignty of his own country, and he would never borrow it.

This made Song Lian anxious, and said:

"Ambassador Park, our Daming is only on loan for two months, and when it is over, we will naturally return it with both hands."

"It will not have any adverse impact on the sovereignty of your country, and I ask Ambassador Park to make sure that you communicate to the king of your country."

"This is absolutely not possible!"

In the end, Park Zhengmin was no longer verbose, and directly refused categorically, and did not even give Song Lian half of the face, and turned to leave.

Song Lian looked at Park Zhengmin's back and sighed, since the old man can't explain it to you, then you can only let the group of killers in the Governor's Mansion tell you.
