"Bastard!!"

In the study, when Zhu Yuanzhang learned of the attitude of the North Korean envoy, he was immediately furious.

"We usually treat North Korea well, and every time they pay tribute, we will reward them greatly."

"That's what the result was in exchange?"

Zhu Yuanzhang instantly remembered a sentence that Li Jin often hung in his ears:

Alien races, but they are all barbarian beasts, afraid of power but not virtuous.

Song Lian didn't know what to say, just lowered his head, looked at his toes, and didn't say a word.

After all, this time, Song Lian, a good old man, was also a little angry.

You must know that Song Lian is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, a dignified and second-class official, and personally went to negotiate this matter with these North Korean envoys.

As a result, the North Korean envoy didn't even bird himself, didn't give any face, and left the table on the spot.

"Go, call Mao Xiang in!!"

The anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart could no longer be suppressed.

Since he is afraid of power but not virtuous, then Zhu Yuanzhang wants to let these North Korean envoys know what the wrath of the Son of Heaven is.

Soon, Mao Xiang hurried to the upper study.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face full of anger, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"I've seen the emperor."

"Get up, we'll give you something."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice:

"We plan to lease the North Korean port of Busan, but the North Korean envoys are very cheap, and we need to loosen their bones."

"You wait to go down, and then take the person to the Imperial Prison to relax and relax."

"We're going to let them beg us to lease their Busan port, understand?"

Mao Xiang nodded hurriedly, then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Song Lian was shocked, and opened his mouth to dissuade:

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done."

"Torture the envoys of a country, this is something that has never been done for thousands of years, please think twice."

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give Song Lian a good look, and continued:

"From today onwards, all the officials of Honglu Temple will be deposed, a group of wine bags and rice bags, soft eggs and waste bags, it is a shame for us, we will re-recruit the officials of Honglu Temple."

"In the future, you will honestly do your Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and in the future, we will find someone else to do the diplomatic affairs of other countries."

"If it's all right, you can go down."

Song Lian's heart suddenly changed, it seemed that this time Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, even he was implicated.

Originally, he wanted to open his mouth to plead, but when he looked up and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's cold eyes, Song Lian didn't dare to speak again after all, so he could only bow down and bow, and then slowly leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that after Song Lian left, his heart was still full of anger, and after thinking about it, he immediately lay on the table again and wrote a secret letter to Xu Da on the island.

……

On Wajima, Luoyang, Kyoto.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu returned to Kyoto, the Ashikaga family attached great importance to it and once again held a top meeting of the shogunate in Muromachi.

All the high-ranking and powerful daimyo in the shogunate basically came.

"Da Ming promises, as long as you take it back..."

Suzuki Shigehide slowly told Daming's request, but it caused everyone present to be in an uproar.

You must know that the three artifacts of Ujima are the lifeblood of Emperor Daigo, and if you want to get it back, there is no other way than to fight with Emperor Daigo.

But now there is no three artifacts of Wadao, and the Ming Dynasty is going to form an alliance with the Southern Dynasties, and when the time comes, they will be attacked from both sides, and they will still die without a place to be buried.

Ashikaga Yoshikan was the first to stand up and said:

"Emperor Daigo of the Southern Dynasty is not a concern at all, the most terrifying thing is that they join forces with the Ming Dynasty."

"Since the Ming Dynasty has put forward the conditions, then let's prepare immediately now, and wait until tomorrow to raise troops to attack the Southern Dynasty."

"In the fight against the Southern Dynasties, we have long accumulated a lot of experience, and we have never had a record."

"As long as there is no Ming sideways, we just need to follow the steps and sooner or later we can take the Yamato of the Southern Dynasty."

"Such a great opportunity, how can we miss it, I suggest that we send troops now, kill Emperor Daigo, unify Wajima, and wait until the reunification is over, and then come to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty."

Ashikaga Yoshikan's words resonated with everyone.

After all, after fighting the Southern Dynasty for so many years, they can be regarded as having more victories and fewer defeats, and they have long established a psychological advantage.

But the Ming Dynasty, a powerful Central Plains dynasty, they really don't have much confidence in their hearts.

You must know that just half a month ago, the Ming Dynasty landed in Iwami Province in an instant, and destroyed Iwami Country in one day.

With such a ferocious army, they couldn't help but feel weak in their hearts and didn't dare to look at it directly.

"Your Excellency is right."

"I support fighting against the South."

One by one, the daimyo of the shogunate began to speak in support of Ashikaga Yoshitsune.

Ashikaga sat on his knees on the throne, his cloudy gaze swept over everyone present, and the audience fell silent again for a moment.

In the end, Ashikaga Zunji's gaze fell on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's body, and he slowly spoke:

"Yiman, you also went on an envoy with you, and you have met the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, what do you think about this matter?"

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who was sitting behind Ashikaga Yoshitsu.

And after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu heard his grandfather's question, he took a moment to say:

"Grandpa, grandson thinks that Daming's move is to let us fight with the Southern Dynasty, and it is an endless battle, intending to weaken the overall strength of our Wa Island."

"Da Ming may have secretly formed an alliance with the Southern Dynasties, or even concluded a peace treaty."

"In today's situation, the Southern Dynasty is even more powerful than ours, and if we want to defeat them, we must mobilize all our forces before it is possible to compete with the Southern Dynasty."

"And the Ming is eyeing us behind us, if the Ming attacks from our back when we are in the midst of a fierce battle with the Southern Dynasties, then how should we deal with ourselves?"

"Therefore, it is impossible for us to unify Wadao in a short period of time, and it is impossible to completely ignore the Ming Dynasty and attack the Southern Dynasty."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words made the discussion on the field sound again.

"If that's the case, aren't we dead?"

"Yes, I think it's righteous and unfounded."

Everyone expressed their opinions, but most of them did not agree with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words.

"Ahem!"

Ashikaga Takashi coughed lightly twice, suppressed the voice of the audience again, and then motioned for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to continue.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu continued:

"I think that an alliance with Daming is almost impossible."

"The Southern Dynasty was the first to arrive, and during the half month we stayed in the post house, I was afraid that the Southern Dynasty would make a peace treaty to sell the interests of Wajima in order to gain the favor of the Ming Dynasty."

"Since it is no longer possible to form an alliance, we can only fight to the death with the Great Ming."

"If the Southern Dynasty wants to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, it must have promised some benefits, and it will definitely not be willing in my heart."

"We can unite with the Southern Dynasties and unite together to drive the Ming out of Wadao."

"Only in this way may we be able to resolve this crisis of ours."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone present had the same reaction, which was to shake their heads like pee.

Originally, the Southern Dynasty was already difficult enough, but now he actually took the initiative to provoke Daming, which was not playing with fire at all, but directly committing suicide.

If when he attacked the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Daigo in the south suddenly gave himself a blow, who could bear it?

Ashikaga Yoshikan even stood up and accused:

"Yoshimitsu, do you want our Ashikaga family to bury you all?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Father, don't worry, since the son dares to say this strategy, he naturally has a countermeasure to deal with Daming."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was in his chest, calming his father's emotions, and then slowly said the way he had been thinking about dealing with Daming for a long time.
