Iwami country.

After Li Jin and the envoys of the Northern and Southern Dynasties completed the negotiations, the entire county began to build an unprecedented infrastructure.

The first thing to start building was the castle wall of Iwami Prefecture.

In Xu Da's opinion, the city wall of Iwami County does not deserve to be called a city wall at all, it is simply lower than the wall of a village in Daming, and it has no defense.

Originally, Li Jin did not plan to build the city wall, after all, Shanghu County was in front of the car, and the real defense was to attack.

Li Jin is confident that the current Ming navy is invincible in the world, and there is no need to build a city wall at all, and the city wall is just a self-comfort for the weak.

But whether it is Tang He, Xu Da, or even Liu Bowen, they all suggested that the city wall be repaired first.

The importance of Iwamikoku is self-evident, and he is expected to lose before he wins, and Zhu Biao is also in Iwamikoku at this time, so there is no room for loss at all.

Helpless, Li Jin could only plan the city wall first.

Li Jin is a professional in urban planning, which can be seen from the layout of Shanghu County.

In just half a day, the entire Iwami country's planning blueprint had been drawn by Li Jin.

When Zhu Biao saw the planning map drawn by Li Jin, he was taken aback.

Looking at the big paper in his hand, and the dense marks on it, the various areas of the city, and even each house was carefully marked on the white paper.

You must know that Zhu Biao has never seen this kind of drawing of designing a city since he was a child.

In the past, when building a city, at most, the core area was roughly marked, and if the city was found to be too small, it would be re-expanded.

But Li Jin's big move this time seemed to be about to rebuild a Shanghu County, which made Zhu Biao only feel extremely shocked.

"Master Li, isn't this a little too exciting?"

"Iwami Province is just a city on Wajima, and no matter how well we build, we will eventually make a wedding dress for Wajima."

"The envoy is wrong."

Li Jin was very satisfied with the blueprint he had planned.

"Since this city has been occupied by our Ming Dynasty, it will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Not only Iwami Country, but also Wajima, which are all inseparable territories of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be said that they are making wedding dresses for others?"

"Today's reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain have been proven, 843.5 million taels of silver, which means that Iwami Province will become an important gold panning city in the future."

"There will be countless Ming gold diggers who will come to Iwami Province, which is destined for the prosperity of Iwami Castle."

"And Iwami Castle will also become the most important export city for immigrants from tomorrow, so Iwami Castle is definitely more important than we thought."

Zhu Biao nodded, just a few days ago, after more than ten days of hard work by three hundred miners, the reserves of Iwami Castle were finally completely discovered.

Indeed, as Li Jin reported, the reserves of more than 800 million taels made Zhu Biao excited.

immediately wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to continue to send reinforcements to reinforce Iwami Castle, because the current situation in the Ming Dynasty has meant that the Ming Dynasty must not give up Iwami Castle.

This stone sees the silver mountain, which will become the most important cornerstone for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's father and son to open the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and he can greatly accelerate the arrival of the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Zhu Biao heard Li Jin's suggestion, he didn't speak out against it, and then let Li Jin start the infrastructure construction of Iwami Castle.

Li Jin, who received the order, immediately began to forcibly levy conscription in the city, and those who dared to disobey the conscription were directly reduced to slaves and continued to contribute to the infrastructure construction of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Li Jin recruited more than 30,000 Japanese people in Iwami Castle, basically men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60.

Among them, more than 2,000 people intended to escape from forced labor, and were directly reduced to slaves by their families to make cattle and horses for the Ming Dynasty.

At first, Li Jin wanted these Japanese people to bring their own dry food, but Zhu Biao was benevolent and righteous after all, and opened the granary of Iwami Castle to provide these Japanese people with rice porridge subsidies for two meals a day.

In the end, Li Jin did not stop him, after all, if he really starved to death so many widows, Li Jin's next infrastructure plan would also be affected.

However, what Li Jin didn't expect was that when he heard that Daming would take care of food every day, this made the Japanese people, who were still a little angry and aggrieved, suddenly become grateful.

This change in the scene made Li Jin and Zhu Biao a little dumbfounded.

What they didn't know was that the daimyo of the Miyoshi family recruited these widows before, but they would not be as kind as Zhu Biao, and each person was provided with two meals a day.

It is natural for the daimyo to recruit Japanese people, but they are all his own people, so why should they provide food and grass for these people?

Now Daming's actions have unexpectedly collected the hearts of the people of Iwami Castle, making Iwami Castle's conscripts more diligent and active.

The walls of Iwami Castle, which is more than 30 miles in circumference, have been completed in less than ten days, and the towers and arrow towers on the walls have not been repaired, but the overall wall has been erected.

Even Li Jin was shocked by this progress, it was really incredible, this slave of Wajima was really easy to use, no wonder the beautiful Congress of later generations would find Wajima as a dog's leg.

Just when Li Jin was in full swing to start the construction of Iwami Castle, the entire northern part of Wajima Island was surging.

The Ashikaga family gathered all the daimyo under their tent and immediately led all the armies to Luoyang, Kyoto.

For a time, Luoyang, Kyoto, was full of soldiers, and in just ten days, 150,000 soldiers and horses had been recruited, which was almost all the soldiers and horses under the Ashikaga family.

Some daimyo even called on the children and old people in the city to respond to the call of the Ashikaga family.

And Xu Da and the others have naturally received the rumors, but they think that this will only be a precursor to the Ashikaga family going to fight the Southern Dynasty.

Because just a few days ago, the Southern Dynasty also began to gather a large army and assemble in Yamato, and even the Southern Dynasty sent envoys to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could attack the San'in Province of the Ashikaga family and contain the Ashikaga family.

This made Li Jin think that this was the eve of the decisive battle between the north and the south of the island, and after sending away the envoys of the southern dynasty at will, Li Jin continued to concentrate on his own infrastructure construction.

The decisive battle between the two countries on Wajima is naturally difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.

They only need to wait quietly, silently accumulate strength, and wait until Zhu Yuanzhang's next batch of reinforcements arrives, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

Whether it is the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Dynasties, they are just people waiting to die in Li Jin's eyes, and there is no need to save them at all.

But what he didn't know was that at this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had already been regarded as a guest of honor in Yamato Yoshino of the Southern Dynasty.

Emperor Daigo personally summoned Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and held secret talks with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Amaterasu Palace, and even Takami Jiro knew nothing about it.

"Ashikaga-kun, you said that your Ashikaga family is willing to dissolve the shogunate and recognize the legitimacy of my emperor, but is it true?"

Emperor Daigo sat on the main seat and asked condescendingly to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who was kneeling below.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu respectfully bowed to Emperor Daigo and said:

"Absolutely."

"My grandfather has been guilty ever since the emperor left Kyoto."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty is menacing, my island is about to capsize, and my grandfather regrets it even more when he sees this."

"It was precisely because of my grandfather that the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation and occupied Iwami Castle on our Wajima Island."

"Our Wadao has reached the point of survival, and my grandfather realized that only by working together can we defeat the Ming Dynasty and bless our Wadao from being wiped out."

"Therefore, my grandfather sent me here to express my remorse to His Majesty the Emperor, hoping to ask for His Majesty's forgiveness, and then the two families joined hands to fight against the Ming Dynasty."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words made Emperor Daigo's heart extremely happy.

For so many years, why did Emperor Daigo lie down and try his best to make the country prosperous? It's just to get back to Kyoto.

He waited for ten years, just to wait for an opportunity, he wanted to fight for a breath, not to prove that he was amazing.

He's going to tell everyone that what he's lost must be returned!

He wanted to hear Ashikaga Takashi's repentance in person.

Although I haven't heard Ashikaga Son's personal confession now, Ashikaga Yoshimi is the grandson of Ashikaga Son, and there is not much difference between the two.

And if the Ashikaga clan really dissolves the shogunate, then sooner or later he will have to kneel in front of him again.

Emperor Daigo smiled triumphantly.
