Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu could understand Bi Ziyan's worries, and he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Well, I will consider this matter. Bumubutai will come to Beijing in June, and I will listen to what she has to say."

Seeing this, Bi Ziyan said nothing.He originally wanted to mention Jiangxi's affairs, but Prince Jing had already left Beijing, so he didn't want to say more.

Zhu Xu looked at it, then looked at Sun Chengzong, and said, "Old Sun Ge?"

Sun Chengzong raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened in the southeast. The Military Intelligence Department flew pigeons to pass on the letter, and Siam suddenly sent troops, broke through Nanzhang and other countries, and annexed many places. The army went straight to Annan. Dorgon was in an emergency. In the letter, although Zouben is on the way, it means that he hopes to get full power to deal with possible invasion at any time. In addition, the situation in Myanmar is also undergoing sudden changes, and the situation of division has changed drastically. It seems that reunification is not far away. In this way, There will be only three powers left in the southeast peninsula. I am Ming, Siam, and Burma. The situation is not optimistic. The war between Burma and Ming is not over yet, and the border is still not peaceful..."

Zhu Xu thought it was a matter of the Wa country, but he didn't expect it to be the southeast peninsula.

This change surprised him a bit.I thought that the surrounding area was stable and I could concentrate on internal affairs, but another moth appeared in the southeast peninsula.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu's expression, and said again: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have made deduction. Although Siam annexed Nanzhang and other countries, they are unable to continue to expand in a short period of time. They have many internal conflicts and may fall apart. Although there is a tendency to speed up the unification of Myanmar, natural disasters continue and the forces are complicated. I predict that within ten years, they will not be able to invade the outside world."

Zhu Xu tapped his finger on the table slowly, then raised his eyebrows, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "There is nothing to worry about. Dorgon... I originally planned to let him be more stable, but now I want to move. "

Sun Chengzong knew that this Dorgon was a knife that Zhu Xu had buried in the southeast peninsula long ago. Now that something unexpected happened in the southeast, it was time to take it out.

"Dorgon has not stopped in the past few years. In addition to the 5 Jurchen cavalry, there are also various other miscellaneous soldiers. There are more than [-] people in total. The land in South Annan is fertile and densely populated. I am afraid that there are still a lot of people, money and grain hidden away. .” Sun Chengzong pointed out directly.

Zhu Xu nodded, not surprised, and said with a smile: "Didn't he want full power? Give it to him! The cannons he cast in private are of poor quality. Give him another fifty broken cannons. The gunpowder is powerful. Give him some too. This wolf has been kept for so long, it's time to look at his fangs."

This is exactly what Sun Chengzong meant. Naturally, it would be best if he could contain potential threats without affecting the country. , Ichiro Tanaka and others."

Zhu Xu put down the porridge in his hand, and said: "Give them all, it's useless for me to keep them. Isn't Tokugawa Iemitsu trying to hide his strength and bide his time? I gave him this time, how is the preparation on Jiuguo Island?"

Sun Chengzong said: "I have ordered the Satsuma clan to deliver a lot of firearms to the original city. Huashan Jiugao has quietly sent the 2000 people they trained in. It should be worry-free. Zuo Liangyu is still coming from the Wa kingdom. Collect warriors from various places and expand the army. In three to five years, it should not be a problem to expand to 3 or [-] people..."

"Okay, as long as the Tokugawa family admits their weakness, the Kanmon Strait will be returned to him. The construction on Tsushima Island will focus on construction, and there is no need to station too many troops. First, we will suppress the conflicts in Jiuguo Island, and we will wait with them together." ..." Zhu Xu said.

Sun Chengzong said: "Yes. The minister will let the Japanese delegation go back and authorize Cao Bianjiao to conduct final negotiations with the Wa people on Tsushima Island. Once they confirm the signing, they will report it to the emperor as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu said "hmm" and said: "The cabinet's 'new policy' must be accelerated, and the 'military reform' of the commander-in-chief's government must continue to deepen. Now is a rare time of peace. We will concentrate on handling internal affairs with all our strength. Can't be distracted anymore..."

"Observe the order!" Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong raised their hands together.

Zhu Xu's statement made them happy.Both Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan have always wanted to focus on internal affairs, but Zhu Xu has been systematically eliminating external threats. After nine years, the surrounding threats are basically eliminated, and he can concentrate on internal affairs.

Not long after, Tadatoshi Aoyama, Nobuzuna Matsudaira and others left the capital, which was still incomparably prosperous despite the disaster, with the same expressionless faces and the same thoughts.

Sitting on the carriage, feeling the flatness of the ground, Tadatoshi Aoyama, who was silent all the way, suddenly said, "Izumori, tell me, what does the public want to do?"

Nobuzuna Matsudaira was taken aback, it wasn't obvious, he looked at Zhongjun Aoyama for some reason.

This time the Ming Dynasty was stuck at the right time, so that the Tokugawa family could not go up or down, so they could only humiliate and ask for peace. This time they agreed so happily, it was nothing more than two or three years of forbearance, and a new start.

But immediately, Matsudaira Nobuzuna seemed to realize something, and said: "Zhong Jundian, you mean, the public has other goals?"

Aoyama Tadatoshi nodded silently, without further words.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is different from his father, and even more different from his grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu. This man has no remnants of the Warring States Period, and his ability, means, and character are impeccable.He is merciless to the daimyo from all over the country. Relying on the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate, he is constantly reforming the Wa country. The most important one is to weaken the local and strengthen the shogunate. The shogunate complained, but no one had the ability to rebel.

How could such a person bow his head so easily?

Nobuzuna Matsudaira was puzzled. Although he did not have a clear understanding of the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, the size of 7000 people was definitely not the entirety of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Wa Kingdom is an island country, and it cannot be fortified everywhere.

"Navy?" Nobuzuna Matsudaira whispered to himself.But he felt wrong. Matsudaira Nobuzuna had known Tokugawa Iemitsu for decades, and he didn't think Tokugawa Iemitsu was the kind of ambitious person like Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"What is that?" Nobuzuna Matsudaira was puzzled, and planned to go back and discuss it with Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The country of Wa is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, with no waves on the surface, and no one can see clearly what's going on inside.Even the Jiuguo Island and the Kanmen Strait are silent and eerily quiet.

Chapter 1161 Murderous

Cao Bianjiao was ordered to move from Tsushima Island to Jeju Island. At the same time, from Sakhalin Island, North Korea, to Satsuma Domain, and Ryukyu, almost all entered a state of strict alert, closely watching every move of Japan.

To say that the happiest among them are the Christians in Yuancheng.

Due to the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate army withdrew from the Shimabara Peninsula, and allowed Christians from all over the place to come here, no longer attacking and slaughtering them, and with the support of Ming Dynasty weapons, tactics, strategies, etc., Shiro Amakusa's power expanded rapidly , including the Shimabara Peninsula in its hands.

Kagoshima, where the Satsuma domain is located, is also a beneficiary this time. Thousands of farmers and samurai from other domains flocked to escape the war in less than a month.According to the order of the cabinet, Zuo Liangyu and Hua Shanjiu dug deep into the foundation, trained soldiers, and implemented compulsory military service for the Satsuma clan.Three to five years later, if it is fully mobilized, Satsuma can also draw an army of [-] to [-]!

Tadatoshi Aoyama and Nobuzuna Matsudaira went straight back to Edo, and only set off to Jeju Island about five days later.

On Jeju Island, Cao Bianjiao made Qingshan Zhongjun and others see an unforgettable scene.

Hundreds of Ming fleets gathered, and the large-scale exercise deeply shocked them.

They never thought that the navy could be so powerful. If this navy appeared near Edo, what a terrible situation it would be!

From the beginning to the end of the exercise, Qingshan Zhongjun and others did not say a word. It was not until the final signing that Qingshan Zhongjun talked to Cao Bianjiao.

"Angel, our country hopes to buy firearms and warships from Daming, the price is negotiable, please entrust your convenience to Angel."

"I will convey it for you, sign it."

"Our country has admired Daming for a long time, and the youths of our country have yearned for Daming for many years. This time, they hope to study in Daming's academy, and the angel must allow it."

"I will convey it for you, sign it."

"Angel, our country is willing to increase offerings, and hopes that China can withdraw its troops from Tsushima and Ezo. Our country has no other intentions, and only hopes that China will have a minimum of respect for our country."

"I will convey it for you, sign it."

……

The dialogue between Qingshan Zhongjun and Cao Bianjiao is basically in this mode.In the end, Qingshan Zhongjun's usually expressionless face also showed anger, but he still suppressed it firmly.

He could see that the Ming Dynasty was determined to conquer the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom had no ability to resist.

The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves, especially after a vigorous military exercise.

Qingshan Zhongjun signed with trembling hands, did not accept Cao Bianjiao's false persuasion, and left by boat that day.

Cao Bianjiao watched them leave and heaved a sigh of relief.This time, the purpose has basically been achieved. As long as the Wa Kingdom signs the signature, the Ming Dynasty will have enough reasons to "receive" the Wa Kingdom when the time comes.

At the same time, the conflicts in Jiuguo Island are temporarily suppressed, and as time goes by, the future outbreak will be even more terrifying, and will drag Wa Kingdom into an endless abyss.

He Xilian stood beside Cao Bianjiao, and said: "My lord, it seems that the Wa Kingdom really wants to forbear, and there is no conspiracy for the time being."

Cao Bianjiao was noncommittal, and said: "We still can't relax. The Military Intelligence Department has to intensify its monitoring of the Japanese country, especially those involving the navy. The navy will return to Fujian soon, and the combined fleet will also go south. There will not be many people in the base, so be careful of Japanese sneak attacks, and then go to North Korea..."

He Xilian immediately said: "Yes. The commander's mansion has already made an overall arrangement, and soon there will be adjustments in various places, especially Ezo, and Liaodong will dispatch tens of thousands of people to station to put enough pressure on Edo."

If there are pressures from both sides at the same time, what Wa country wants to do must be thought over and over again, and some risky moves will be cautious, and they will not dare to mess around easily.

Cao Bianjiao didn't say much, his mission has been completed, and after finishing it, he will return to Beijing.

At this time, Su Yinyin came from behind and said behind Cao Bianjiao: "My lord, there is a letter from Zongbing Zuo, hoping to send [-] Japanese soldiers in Satsuma to South Annan for actual combat training."
