"Did the Japanese shogunate be destroyed in just three days?"

Between the waves crashing, on the horse road of a coastal city, a forty-year-old man wearing the costume of the king of Daming County had a melancholy face.

Korea has a long history of being harassed by the Japanese invaders, as early as the Goryeo period, and it is for this reason that Goryeo participated in the two Yuan-Japanese wars.

However, the two Yuan-Japanese wars did not achieve victory, but instead caused heavy losses to Goryeo, and relations between the two countries deteriorated significantly.

"Do you think it's feasible to trade gold and bring it to the country?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's true, the minister saw it with his own eyes." Kwon also knows North Korea's current predicament, and if he can obtain enough gold from Kunlun and convert it into copper money through trade, it will greatly alleviate the current money shortage.

As a Korean envoy accompanying him to the West, Quan Xiangshan of Licao was a qualified candidate selected by Li Fangyuan.

"His Highness Chitose!"

As for Europe, at the moment they are still fragmented, carrying out the Renaissance in a bland manner, and Britain and France are still immersed in a century-old struggle.

He was very happy for Lin Su, you must know that the flintlock pistol has not yet been equipped with the soldiers and horses of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, and he led 2,000 cavalry to pursue 5,000 Whara cavalry, and he can still achieve more than 600 level results, which is already very good.

In the Battle of Persia, although Quan Xiangshan did not follow the Ming army to the battlefield, he would observe the battlefield after the war.

"The son came uninvited, I hope my father will not be surprised."

"You let the right to be good to see the widow."

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked towards the gate of Longjiang Shipyard, asking as he walked.

In addition to them, there are also the four generals of the Bohai Sea that Zhu Di likes to take with him every time he goes on his northern expedition, Li Shi, Li Chi, Li Cha, and Li Qi.

"Okay, then transfer Wu Gao out of Zhenshanxi, Chen Mao out of Zhenbeiping, and Liu Zhen out of Zhendaning."

Li Fangyuan felt heavy and couldn't help but think of the original dispute in Donghai Mansion.

"Wow! For! Wow......"

Maintaining a certain degree of force and utilization value is the way for the DPRK to survive.

In addition to here, there are seven large shipyards in Hangzhou, Songjiang, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Dengzhou, and Dingliao.

"It's a pity that Lin Su next to me can't get out, otherwise I would have wanted to take him to participate in this northern expedition."

Li Fangyuan did not name anyone to do trade with, but everyone in the gatehouse knew very well.

"I'm not dead yet, you straight thieves!"

Zhu Gaochu smiled and saluted, Zhu Di saw that he was not interested, glanced left and right at the generals he had summoned, and saw that their eyes were all looking at Zhu Gaochu from time to time, Zhu Di was a little jealous.

The powerful sun never sets on Spain, which is not yet unified.

Li Fangyuan gave an order, and then walked to the city gate tower not far away to rest.

There are 10 super-large docks of more than 5,000 materials, 20 large docks of 3,000 materials, and 50 ordinary docks of more than 2,000 materials, and more than 4,700 shipwrights.

Especially after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, the coastal Wako became a legend.

"When the time comes, we will go to Hulan and lose ......"

Guangxi's water post and horse post extend in all directions, most of them began to be built from the Han and Tang dynasties, after the Song and Yuan dynasties were reinforced, and then widened by the Ming Dynasty, the local roads are not rugged and difficult.

Even though it was already a cold winter, the Longjiang shipyard was crowded with people, and some timber pulled from Liaodong, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Ryukyu was unloaded at the wharf one by one.

Zhu Di scolded secretly in his heart, and Zhu Gaoxu also took this opportunity to scan the generals in the palace.

"The countries of Kansai and Kanto are very excited and determined to find out the killers."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

If we want to say that the central government interferes, then Guizhou is even more backward by thousands of years, which can be seen from the post roads of the two provinces.

Once the phenomenon of North Korea's lax armament and internal affairs is exposed, even if the current Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu do not want to deal with North Korea, it is difficult to guarantee that the future kings of the Ming Dynasty will not be interested in North Korea.

The whole of Guangxi, except for the west of Liuzhou and the north of Sien, is geographically complex, and other places have been developed very maturely, but they have not been developed due to insufficient population and little central investment.

Mu Chun and Mu Sheng can't be transferred, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di are disgusted, and the remaining Wang Xuan is still running western Yunnan, and Zhu Di will not pick these three people at all.

However, at this moment, Zhu Di is not a person in charge of politics, nor is he a civil government, but a military government.

Facing the unknown Oriental shipping route, Hu Lun had a headache and said: "The situation in Japan is still unclear, and they can't return to Pingjiang for the time being, if it is delayed until after April, even if they come back and set off again, they will be a month behind the plan." ”

Although Guizhou is more inland than Guangxi, the Han people developed Guangxi hundreds of years earlier than Guizhou.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"According to your orders, the Marquis of Hirae vaguely reminded Ashikaga Yoshiji."

Zhu Gaoxu replied to Hu Lun, and at the same time said: "When Mu Chun and they return to Nanjing, I can also discuss the matter of changing the land and returning to Guangxi." ”

After Hu Lun finished explaining, he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, if Kanto and Kansai really fight with Ashikaga Yoshiji for the position of emperor, then do we want to send troops?" ”

He should be glad that he withdrew his troops from Donghae Province in order to gain the recognition of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise in the event of a conflict between the two sides, Korea would probably be destroyed in a short time.

"I summoned Zhang Fu, Zhang Chun, and Xu Sheng to report back to Beijing, and prepared to take them and the generals in the palace to the north."

Standing in front of a super-large dock, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the information in his hand, nodded and couldn't help but ask.

Four years later, Columbus enlisted the support of the Queen of Spain, and the voyage west discovered the New World.

For North Korea, which has a population of only three or four million, more than 100,000 copper coins are enough to alleviate the domestic money shortage.

Obviously, Zhu Di knew that the group of people in the hall were all brave generals of the assault type, and they were not suitable for controlling the three armies, so he explained to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Yes, the minister retired ......"

Looking at the sea, Li Fangyuan did not answer in a hurry, but waited for a moment before saying:

Once the mission to the West and the East is over, it will not only be possible to discover the southern continent (Australia) in the south, but also complete the great achievement of circumnavigating the earth in one fell swoop.

Hu Lun responded, Zhu Gaoxu also sat on the foot, came to the West Corner Gatehouse in the swaying, and saw Zhu Di who was in charge of politics inside.

Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping, Marquis Wang Cong of Wucheng, Marquis of Jing'an, Marquis Wang Zhong, Marquis of Tongqing, Marquis Huozhen, Marquis of Anyuan, Liu Zhen......

Because of this, after the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going trade was in full swing, North Korea, which was most affected by it, naturally followed suit.

That must be a lot of fun.

Therefore, after arriving at Mugudushu, the size of Zheng He's fleet will be reduced by half, and only this half of people can really reach Dongzhou.

He will never forget the corpse that was torn apart by the cannonballs, especially the cavalry, which was regarded as the most important weapon of the country.

"Calculating the time, this Northern Expedition and the return of the land are similar to the situation last time, but this time the southwest will be easier to change the land and return to the river."

In the end, Zheng He will bring all kinds of seeds and Chen Xuan to return in their different directions.

Compared with North Korea, which was poor in gold and silver, Japan and the Ming Dynasty were much more powerful......

"The widow wants to promote you to the envoy of the Kunlun Festival, and allow you to choose 600 people from the country, take 50 taels of gold from the treasury and 500 taels of silver, and go to Kunlun to mine gold."

He is well aware that resting on his laurels will only be replaced, and that at the moment North Korea has no enemies and its armaments are seriously relaxed.

The Netherlands, the coachman of the sea, was not yet a country, but Portugal was forming a Portuguese fleet in an attempt to conquer Ceuta, the trading center of North Africa.

Zhu Di, who was engrossed in the sand table, suddenly heard the sound of singing, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Gaoxu walking into the hall.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down on this group of people, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's population and immigration policy to be placed in Nanyang and Indochina, plus Japan had too many people and the land was too barren, he would have sent troops to take Japan a long time ago.

"Since both of them died in Gyeonggi, the guardians of the Kansai and Kanto countries did not like to see the Ashikaga family who caused the war."

Compared with 17 years ago, the scale of Longjiang Shipyard at this time is undoubtedly the largest in the world.

After Quan Xiangshan walked into the city gate tower, he called for a thousand years old, Li Fangyuan did not hide it, but asked him directly: "Is the gold mine in Kunlun Continent real?" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Pingjiang and they were still stationed in Kyoto, I'm afraid that Kansai and Kanto would already be going to meet with the shogunate swordsmen."

Li Fangyuan was going to organize a large fleet to go to Kunlun to mine gold, but before that, he needed to carefully ask the envoys of the North Korean official ships whether it was feasible to mine gold in Kunlun.

However, during this period, Zheng He would send an advance team to sail southward, and finally bypass Dongzhou Jiao (Hop En Jiao) in the south, and go north to join Chen Xuan and them.

In fact, after entering the fifteenth century, countries around the world have begun to communicate slowly, but limited by distance, and the exchange is not frequent.

Although the population of the Timurid Empire was not more than 10 million, the army they were able to pull out was better and more elite than that of Korea.

"This so-called position of the Heavenly King, whether Ashikaga Yoshiji can sit firmly is not to see whether this group of local chickens and dogs agree, but to see whether the Ming Dynasty agrees."

If Zhu Di didn't say it, Zhu Gaoxu estimated that he would not know about it until he went back.

"Well done, is there any fluctuation in Japan after learning about the death of the so-called emperor in their mouths?"

"A month ago, he ascended the throne as an adopted son, but he also announced to other countries that he believed that he was of foreign blood and could not be called emperor, but only king."

This is normal, after all, if the old man takes this group of people there, Zhu Gaoxu can let him go to have ghosts.

Twenty-six-zero-five: fseven-zero-zero: four-three: six-zero-zero-zero:: seventy-two-nine

"Minister, thank you!"

At the same time, he is relatively upright, so he will not do some things like chickens and dogs, which is reassuring.

Therefore, when tomorrow's diplomatic relations deteriorated, Li Fangyuan, as the king of Joseon, paid close attention to it, and even came to Busan in person to inquire about the progress of tomorrow's war in the name of "transporting supplies for the heavenly army".

"As for Sheng Yong, He Fu, Qu Neng, Qu Yu, Qu Tao, and Gu Cheng, I'm afraid they won't be able to pull out."

Zhu Di felt a little regretful, but Zhu Gaoxu was surprised after hearing it: "Why do you pay attention to Lin Su?" ”

Before that, Quan Xiangshan's words would definitely be disgusted by Li Fangyuan, but now that the news of the defeat of the shogunate has come, Li Fangyuan has taken it seriously.

"When will the Navy be ready to continue sailing the Western Ocean?"

"Sending troops?" Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "If they really care about the emperor so much, then why don't they hand over their military power to the emperor?"

The object of Zhu Gaoxu's change of land this time, Zhu Gao is the Tusi who is hiding in Datengxia and this area.

He is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very young, so even if he is buried overseas, Li Fangyuan is not distressed.

Unlike some small countries, the current Ming Dynasty is simply the vane of East Asia, and many policies of various countries have copied or emulated the policies of the Ming Dynasty, and even the clothing is similar.

In such a short period of time, Japan, with a population of 10 million, was solved by the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer Korea by force, then how long could North Korea resist?

"Yes!"

Although relations between the two sides gradually thawed from 100 years ago, the number of Japanese pirates along the coast of Goryeo increased dramatically as Japan entered the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it became even more widespread during the Joseon period.

"As long as there is no problem with the news from Wang Ren's side, Zheng He will be able to transport supplies to and from the west coast through trade after arriving in Dongzhou."

"Once the countries find the true Emperor bloodline, he will serve the Emperor's bloodline as the Emperor, and he will definitely not covet this position."

"Back to His Highness...... Hu Lun received the information and explained respectfully:

"Quan died of illness nearly half a month ago, and the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty are very fond of him, take this opportunity to enter the court, and at the same time talk about the affairs of Kunlun with His Royal Highness the Prince."

In the winter moon, when the sound of the wooden mallet echoes in the lively workshop, the Longjiang Shipyard not far from the Jiangdong Gate of Nanjing is in full swing.

"I don't need you to say that, I know how to do it." Zhu Di showed a proud look on his face, and waved his hand:

"Zheng He brought back a lot of gold and silver, and the imperial court has to let go of this group of Hu people in this northern expedition."

As long as it is guaranteed that copper coins will not continue to flow out of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea's money shortage can be completely ended in the next 20 years or so.

"However, even with the Marquis of Hirae in charge, the guardians of various countries still ask to find the blood of the emperor's lineage, and they don't want Ashikaga Yoshiji to inherit the emperor's throne as an adopted son with foreign blood."

"Your Highness, where are we going now?"

Although his shot is very shabby, as a country that has not yet produced by the Ming Dynasty and Japan, Li Fangyuan has already given the greatest support he can give.

"At that time, even if Hu Lun and his people arrive a few months late, the countries of Dongzhou can afford to support Zheng He and their more than 10,000 people."

"Go, go, go."

Half an hour later, with the carriage he was riding in arrived at Xihuamen, after getting off the car, he also turned around and ordered: "By the way, keep an eye on Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin." ”

"The minister once saw the scene of the Celestial Empire's war against the Timurid Kingdom, even if there were tens of thousands of cavalry, they could not help the 20,000 navy of the Celestial Empire."

Compared with Guizhou, the traffic situation in Guangxi is indeed much better.

At present, Japan has a population of 10 million, and the Ming Dynasty is only more than 80 million, and among the more than 80 million people in the Ming Dynasty, there are nearly 10 million young people in the southwest and few people in the north.

Most of these tens of millions of young people live in the mountainous areas of the southwest and northeast, and it is difficult to completely control them.

"Out of the way." Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the shipyard, got into the carriage and took his seat.

"It is estimated that in May of the next year, my father can lead 30,000 iron horsemen to the north, so that he can teach Nawarat to know that my Han people are not easy to mess with."

Since the 27th year of Hongwu, the Japanese who had harassed the Korean Peninsula for nearly 200 years began to gradually disappear, and all of this was basically the credit of the Ping Japanese Navy Division and the later Ming Navy.

"I will definitely attack and impeach Guangxi for the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream, no matter what outrageous moves he makes, don't be in a hurry to impeach him, press it first, and wait for my father to come back from the northern expedition and explain it together."

"I said he could sit, he sit!"

However, for the old man's words, Zhu Gaoxu frowned: "Erchen is ready to start preparations for the reform of Guangxi after the Northern Expedition, and if the southwest generals are dispatched, at most Liu Zhen, Chen Mao, and Wu Gao can be transferred." ”

"The minister is gone." Seeing that Zhu Di didn't want to take care of his appearance when he had money, Zhu Gaoxu could only say that the old man was still the old man, but fortunately, he was no longer his original self.

Such an elite army was defeated by the Ming Navy with less fighting, and there was no room for retreat, once North Korea, which was surrounded by the sea on three sides, caused trouble, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the gods to save it.

Standing beside Li Fangyuan, Li Chongshan, an official of Licao, asked cautiously.

Compared with Japan, Zhu Gaoxu wants three declarations and ten comforts and the whole of Sumatra.

According to the normal trajectory, Portugal would not have made its way south to the Cape of Good Hope until 78 years later.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how many years later this information would take effect, in short, he still wanted to see the news that the Portuguese fleet arrived at Kunlun Point in his lifetime and then encountered the news of the Ming army's interrogation.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu was also happy: "The flintlock pistols on the Liaodong side have begun to be mass-produced and reloaded, and the elite cavalry of Daning, Bohai and Liaodong have also added them to training. ”

Although the fleet of the Ming Dynasty under the Western Ocean was not prepared to go to Europe, as in history, the officialdom stationed in Mugudushu and Kurumus would constantly send a message to Europe through Arab merchants.

Hu Lun followed, sitting aside and listening to the teachings.

It seems that Lin Su has not been in vain in the Hetao in the past few years, and before he was replaced, he did not have such means to command the cavalry.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously not a wise move to cross the sea to touch the country of Japan.

"Our country has a large number of people and does not produce gold, silver, copper and iron, and all kinds of materials need to be obtained from the Celestial Empire."

It's just that the progress of tomorrow's war is far beyond his imagination, and it only took four days from the beginning to the end of the war, from the outbreak of civil strife in Japan to the disappearance of the emperors of the north and south, and it was only three months before the Ming Dynasty opened the Subordinate Pavilion.

"Back to the palace, before leaving the palace, my father asked Yishuha to go to the West Corner Gate, probably in preparation for the Northern Expedition."

"No problem, as long as it's deferential enough."

"Probably all the warships and horse ships can be repaired and maintained in Layue, and the goods are ready early, and the only things that need to be prepared temporarily are fruits, vegetables and grains."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu began to bow his head and carefully write down the detailed process of changing the land and returning to Guangxi.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't mention Mu Chun, Mu Sheng, Li Jinglong, and Wang Xuan at all.

Because of his various personalities and actions, he became the most suitable person to develop Kunlun.

Looking at this group of people, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but gasp.

"This is true for the navy, and even more ...... for the army"

"The courtiers Cao Zuolang is good and good, see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose!"

Of course, all this is a historical situation, and the situation today is not a historical situation.

"According to the convention, you can go to sea after the Lantern Festival, but it is more troublesome to go to the East Ocean."

"Do you want to invest in Kunlun Continent?" Li Chongshan opened his mouth in surprise, after all, Li Fangyuan yesterday did not agree to send forces to Kunlun Continent, thousands of miles away, why did he suddenly agree now, is it because he was stimulated by Japan?

In this regard, Li Fangyuan walked on the horse road in Busan City, put his hands behind his back, and said as he walked:

Although Lin Su was Zhu Gaoxu's right-hand man in the early stage, he did not stand out in the Battle of Jingyan, and the Battle of Ping'an Nan was not a brilliant performance, which is why Zhu Gaoxu transferred him to Dongsheng and asked him to mine the iron ore in Yinshan and replace agriculture with workers.

"In a few days, you and Li Shenzhi will send an envoy to Nanjing, you must plan the official ship well, and the treasury still has 100,000 yuan for you to use, and you can retire now."

"In the past, it was possible to trade with Japan and sell goods to the Celestial Empire to obtain the materials it needed, but now the problem of money shortage in the country is becoming more and more serious, and if there is no foreign gold, silver, copper and iron, sooner or later there will be a big problem."

Every year, there are 200 warships and horse ships launched from here, and this is only the first of the seven major shipyards of the Ming Dynasty.

"The reason why they care so much is that they don't think they can sit and they don't want others to sit."

After Zhu Gaoxu assigned Qinzhou, Guangdong to Guangxi, and obtained the blessing of shipping, it was easier for Guangxi to encircle and suppress Tusi.

When Li Chongshan heard this, he immediately returned the salute, and then sent someone to summon the Korean official ships that went to the West to make the ministers good.

"In addition, Wang Yi, Meng Zhang, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng also have to follow me this time, and the north is estimated to be relatively empty, so I am ready to discuss with you for now, and summon some generals from Annan and the southwest to the north to defend it."

Because of this, when the Ming Dynasty formed the Ping Wa Water Division, even though the Korean monarchs and ministers were unwilling, they still agreed to the matter of the Ping Wa Water Division in the Korean coastal waters.

"While the countries have not yet made a move, we will go to the Celestial Empire first, this time we will order enough official ships, and then mine gold and silver ore in Kunlun Continent."

As long as they received Chen Xuan and built the Dongzhou Propaganda Division on the west coast, then Zheng He and Chen Xuan would explore the coasts of Beizhou and Dongzhou respectively, and establish diplomacy with the two city-states of Yujia (Aztec) and Yin (Inca).

Of course, not every shipyard can get a large number of orders, and an established shipyard like Longjiang is still the first choice for most businessmen.

"You don't have to worry about the things in the north, you pay more attention to the south, after the Lantern Festival, I will write a will for you to supervise the country, you don't slack off."

In the face of Li Fangyuan's promotion, Quan Xiangshan has no reason to refuse, because the national strength is not strong, this is already the biggest move that Li Fangyuan can take.

After Li Fangyuan gave the order, he asked Li Chongshan to retreat with the right to Shan.

Different from the scale of the previous voyage of 20,000 people, although there were more than 20,000 people when they set off for the Western Ocean, 10,000 of them had to exchange guards with the officers and men of the navy guards and officialdom along the way, and change the original garrison to go home to save their relatives.

Zhu Di drove Zhu Gaoxu away, and without waiting for him to leave, he continued to explain his Northern Expedition battle plan.

"We're going ...... from Hairaer"
