Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1218
Qian Fugui still couldn't figure it out, but since the emperor had made it so clear, he didn't insist, and immediately agreed.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen chatted with Wu Daji privately and said, "You suggest to Dorgon to send troops to conquer the Iwami Silver Mine in the Wa Kingdom."

Iwami Silver Mine has been mined for more than 100 years since [-].It can be said that this Iwami Silver Mine was the largest silver mine in Japan from the late Sengoku period to the early Edo period.According to the statistics of later generations, in the seventeenth century, the silver output of Iwami Ginzan accounted for one-third of the world's total silver output.

It can be seen from this that the importance of this Iwami Silver Mountain to the Wa Kingdom can be said to be the lifeblood of the Wa Kingdom.And this Iwami Ginzan is in Shimane Prefecture in the San'in area.It is not too far from Kyushu Island, and it is also far from the base camp of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Of course, although this Iwami Ginzan is a bit far from Edo, the importance of this place is beyond doubt.Therefore, it was accepted by the Tokugawa shogunate as a direct-controlled territory, and was stationed in Yinshan to pursue management.Of course, it is certain that heavy troops will be stationed, and it will not be so easy to fight them down.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen entrusted Wu Daji with this suggestion instead of asking Qian Fugui to suggest it was because Wu Daji was considered Dorgon's man.

Now the Manchu Qing emperor in Wa is Dorgon. Although Hauge is still quite powerful, the right to speak is in the hands of Dorgon.

After Wu Daji arrived in Wa Kingdom, Dorgon had no talents at hand, so he used Wu Daji to help him govern the place.Kyushu Island has been fighting for years, and people's livelihood is not much better.Wu Daji's proposal to capture Iwami Silver Mountain would not be very abrupt.

After receiving Emperor Chongzhen's will, Wu Daji quickly stood up to speak to Dorgon during a meeting: "The slave is incompetent. The tax money collected by your majesty is currently less than one-tenth!"

Hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help frowning.In terms of civil affairs ability, Wu Daji is the best of his subordinates.Others basically just know how to fight.Now even he can't handle the errand he told him?
He was thinking about it, but before he could speak, Dodo began to scold angrily: "You trash, what are you doing? You can't even do a little thing? Kill anyone who dares not to pay, and see who dares not!" Hand in? Such a simple thing, you dog slave can't do it well?"

Seeing that he was so angry, Wu Daji was not afraid, but just bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, most of the farmers on the island are Catholics. Your Majesty has made a decree, and the slaves can't do anything about it."

Because the Catholic army is an allied army, Dorgon has issued a decree before that these people will be extrajudicial and will not be taxed.Unexpectedly, the remaining Japanese on Kyushu Island rushed to join the Catholic Church.

After Dorgon figured this out, he couldn't help but feel a headache.He was still young after all, and he hadn't considered this situation before.

Toyotomi Kunimatsu basically didn't have many troops, and the biggest use was a righteous name.Therefore, Dorgondove occupied the magpie's nest and seized the power of Toyotomi Kunimatsu, and it was nothing to sacrifice him high.

As for the Catholic army, as soon as people recognize Catholicism, if they want to seize power, it will easily lead to internal strife.Now under the eyes of the powerful enemy of the Tokugawa shogunate, Dorgon can't bear any internal strife.

There is another reason. It is said that the Spaniards from Luzon may pass through the country of Wa when they return to their own country.Also due to the existence of the Catholic army, it should be possible to contact those Spaniards.Only in this way, the artillery and warships of Xiyi that Dorgon had thought at the beginning, could have a clue.

This point, from what he heard, the Japanese people on the Wa country had gone to Luzon to serve their lord, and it can be confirmed that this idea should be feasible.Last year, the Spaniards did not come, but based on experience, they will definitely come this year.

Therefore, Dorgon had to accommodate the Catholic army on Kyushu Island.Unexpectedly, this instead contributed to the prestige of the Catholic army.Let the remaining Japanese people in Kyushu Island rush to join the Catholic Church, this is a big trouble!
Dorgon's plan was to prepare silver to buy from the Spaniards with a lot of money.He believed that these western barbarians came all the way for money.If I can give them what they want, I'm afraid I won't get what I want!
However, when he fled from North Korea to Wa, he did not flee voluntarily, but was forced by the Ming army and chased him all the way. Therefore, he did not bring much property.Of course, there is another reason, that is, North Korea is so poor that it is not as rich as the Ming Dynasty, and it does not have much wealth.

According to experience, the Spaniards will pass through the Wa country in June and July. During this period, they must gather property.Thinking of this, Dorgon frowned and stretched out his hand to stop Duduo, who was about to get angry, and said in a low voice: "Wu Qing can't be blamed for this, I know it well."

Saying this was to set the tone for this matter, and then he said a little worriedly: "But we have only one chance in the Qing Dynasty, and we must gather enough silver coins before contacting the Spaniards!"

But what is the current situation? After Wu Daji said it, everyone in the hall knew.Azig pondered for a while, and then suggested: "No one pays taxes, how can they afford the money! Otherwise, just owe it first. Let the people over there talk about it first." , they are all under the command of a god, it should be fine, right?"

After Dorgon came to Wa, because the Yi people were his hope, he had carefully inquired about the Western Yi.He probably knew about those Westerners, so after hearing Azig's words, he shook his head and said, "Those Spaniards all focus on practical interests, and without enough gold, silver and jewels, their help to us will be very limited. "

"Then what should we do?" Duoduo on the side became a little anxious after hearing this, "It's impossible, let's grab the one on the other side, shall we?"

The opposite side he mentioned does not refer to the North Korean side.Don't say that North Korea is now poor and empty, and there is nothing to rob. Even if the Ming army is stationed there, Duoduo has no courage to rob.What he meant was the Tokugawa shogunate that was across the sea from them.For the Japanese people who are like short winter melons, Duoduo is very courageous. His mentality towards the Japanese people is just like the mentality he had towards the Liaodong Ming army back then, and he has a great psychological advantage.

But what he said just now is mainly because the navy is not as good as the opponent. Now on the other side of the strait, they are no match for the Tokugawa shogunate navy. Their limited ships are all hiding in the port and dare not go out.It seems impossible to rob the Tokugawa shogunate!

Therefore, after Duoduo finished speaking, the hall was quiet, and no one responded.However, Wu Daji's heart was moved, and he remembered the will of Emperor Chongzhen, so he played aloud: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks this is a good idea."

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to him, and there was an idiot in their eyes.If you can easily rob the opponent, use your Koryo stick as an example. When it comes to robbery, the experience of the Qing Dynasty should not be too much!
"Your Majesty, the Wa country has a very large silver mine, which is far away from Edo, where the Tokugawa shogunate is located..." As a Korean, Wu Daji knew a little about the Wa country.After Emperor Chongzhen made his decree, he inquired again and learned more about the situation.Therefore, regardless of those strange gazes, he just talked there.

In fact, when something is passed from person to person many times, it tends to become exaggerated.And Ishijian Yinshan itself is very big and famous, and it has been exaggerated by rumors, as if this Iwami Yinshan is a mountain made of silver, as much as you want.

After Wu Daji introduced what he knew, he finally said: "If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the Japanese, the slaves are telling the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

After all, Dorgon and others were outsiders, and it was only at this time that they really realized that the size of Ishijian Yinshan was far beyond their imagination.Immediately, everyone showed a look of surprise and shock.They didn't need to ask, they all believed that Wu Daji couldn't possibly lie to them.

Duo Duo showed his true nature even more excitedly, waved his hand, and suggested to Duo ErGun: "Such a good place, needless to say, grab it directly!"

I didn't want to grab it before because the price might be high.But now, he found that the harvest would be great, so he naturally changed his attitude.

After finishing speaking, Duoduo also said to himself: "Damn it, I have grown up so much, I have never seen Yinshan!"

Azig was also very excited, and nodded repeatedly in response: "Yes, I snatched it here, are you afraid that you will run out of money in the future?"

However, Dorgon is much more sensible than his two brothers. Although his face was a little excited, he still said with a little worry: "This Iwami Ginzan must be very important to the Tokugawa shogunate. Heavily guarded!"

"What are you afraid of!" Duoduo said indifferently when he heard this, "on land, who am I afraid of coming?"

Speaking of this, it seemed a bit inappropriate, so he added: "At least in the Wa country, others are afraid of us Daqing, it is impossible for us Daqing to be afraid of others!"

When he said this, he was full of confidence.

Regarding this point, let alone these Manchu leaders, they all have this confidence.Not to mention their stature, just in terms of strength, if a Jianlu confronts a Japanese, even if there are a few, they will be wronged.Not to mention, fighting is what the Manchus are best at, so what's wrong with bullying these poor and dwarfs!
To be honest, Dorgon was also moved after listening to Duo Duo's words.He also has self-confidence. If he only fights on land, he is not afraid of the Tokugawa shogunate.However, as the head of a country, he also has some considerations.

Just listen to him say: "This can't just consider the matter of war. We are short of food and grass now. If we go to Iwami Yinshan, if the Tokugawa shogunate gives us a strong wall to clear the country, even if we withdraw at that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to." So easy!"

After repeated wars in Kyushu Island, the livelihood of the people has withered, and it is enough to feed the army, and there is no food at all.Now that the Japanese can't collect taxes, the collection of military rations is even more difficult.For this reason, both here and the Tokugawa shogunate chose to cease fighting, and there was no further major war, just to recuperate and accumulate strength.

Now these Manchu leaders, when they heard that there would be a shortage of food, their fear came out of their bones.Therefore, although Shi Jian Yinshan's temptation was there, several people in the hall fell silent unexpectedly.

At this time, Dorgon was really embarrassed.It is almost April now, and in June and July, the Spaniards will pass by.If you don't seize this opportunity, you will have to wait another year, or even longer.To be honest, he felt that he couldn't afford to wait.

But now, although the silver mountain is there, it is very difficult to get the silver.Besides, it is impossible to raise enough money in Kyushu Island.Dorgon thought about it left and right, but still couldn't make up his mind. He had too many worries. He had to think for the whole Qing Dynasty and the overall situation.

Thanks to the lack of news about the Japanese kingdom, the Spaniards who didn't know Luzon had already been wiped out by Ming Dynasty, and those Japanese who went to serve the Lord were also killed, otherwise, they wouldn't have to be so entangled.

Just when the hall was quiet and Duoduo was a little impatient, suddenly there was movement outside the hall.There was the sound of chaotic footsteps, and when the people in the hall heard it, they knew who was coming, and immediately, all of them showed unhappy expressions on their faces.

As the footsteps approached, a rough voice came in: "The emperor is discussing matters, why didn't you inform my nephew?"

Needless to say, the person who came here was Hauge, the emperor's nephew who was unique in history.

I saw him breaking into the hall with a group of subordinates, no matter what the group of people in the hall thought of him, it was obvious that everyone's relationship was not good anyway.Seeing him approaching, he casually said a thousand words to Dorgon: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

Dorgon frowned, but immediately loosened his brows, squeezed out a little smile and said, "It's nothing serious right now, I didn't think of calling you, so you can rest more."

Since Hauge knew that Dorgon had dug out his general, he didn't give Dorgon a good face.Hearing this, he immediately yelled: "How did you become the emperor? Nothing serious? Tell you, the Ming army is coming soon!"

For the rudeness on his lips, Doduo on one side was going to yell angrily.But as soon as he heard Hauge's words, the cursing words got stuck.

Dorgon didn't care about Hauge's rudeness, and immediately asked with a serious face: "What did the emperor's nephew say? What news did you hear?"

In the hearts of those who are still full of Qing Dynasty, the number one enemy will always be the Ming army who drove them into the sea.At this time, when they heard that the army was coming, no matter whether it was the arrogant Doduo or the cautious Dorgon, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly checked it out, regardless of other things.
