At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 200 Great Ming is a Land of Etiquette

Yu Qian counted more and more, and continued: "The armor and weapons of the soldiers, especially the ammunition, consume a lot. The key is that the soldiers are overseas, and the food can be supplied by the Japanese country, but there is no place to replenish the ammunition. They can only be obtained from the capital Wang Gong. Send it to the factory, if you calculate it like this..."

Xiong Toyama felt his heart was bleeding, he couldn't listen to what Yu Qian was saying, he only heard two words from the beginning to the end, Yinzi!
Zhu Qizhen was in high spirits, and said: "Forget about the details, after all, it is a country of friendship, so if you can avoid it, you can just say the total, and you can get the meaning."

"Calculating roughly, the monthly expenses for five thousand sailors going to war are about..."

When Yu Qian said this, he hesitated for a while, and deliberately didn't finish speaking once.

Yuu Toyama is going crazy, he has an ominous premonition, it seems, it seems, maybe...

Yu Qian smiled politely and said, "The monthly cost is roughly 30 taels of silver!"

Hearing this number, Toyama Yuki almost smoked it, 30 taels, still every month!

If your people don't come back for a year or so, even if you evacuate the Japanese treasury, it won't be enough!

Zhu Qizhen said cheerfully: "30 taels is not too much, and the Wa country is definitely not short of this amount of money."

Xiong Toyama finally realized that this is a clear grab!
However, even if you know that someone is robbing, so what?

Don't agree, those thieves continue to burn, kill and loot, the Japanese army can't resist their firearms at all, and sooner or later, the Japanese will be looted.

Give it...that's too much!

"His Majesty Qizuo, this... this..."

Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "Don't worry, just ask if you have any questions, and I will help you solve them!"

"Yes Yes……"

Yuu Toyama wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, summoned up his courage, and said, "About the capital of the army, is it..."

"You mean it's less?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen rushed to say: "I have said it all, since it is a country of friendship and a country of non-expropriation, it should be treated as a friendly help, half selling and half giving away, for the sake of good relations between the two countries, I will make a loss." There's no harm in buying or selling."

Yuu Toyama wants to cry, I have never seen such a shameless one!

There are just 5000 people, and the military expenses for a month cost 30 taels of silver. That's it... or half-selling and half-giving?
It is said that Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, a state of etiquette, and it has always been very generous to the surrounding vassal states. Seeing you today, hehe, generous ass!
This is clearly driving people to death!

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, this matter...is of great importance, I...a subject...I am afraid I don't have such great power..."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry!"

Zhu Qizhen looked relaxed, and said: "You go back first, report to your general or emperor, and reply to me after you have discussed it."

Hiroshi Toyama's heart skipped a beat, of course you are not in a hurry, but we can't afford to wait here!
Your people burn, kill and loot every day, even if you wait one more day, the losses caused are immeasurable.

No, I can't wait!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor, if the Wa Kingdom agrees to provide military expenses, when will the army of the Kingdom of Heaven be dispatched?"

"Well..." Zhu Qizhen didn't answer directly, but said, "Yu Qian, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, you answer it!"

Yu Qian nodded and said: "The army needs to prepare in advance for the expedition. If everything goes well, about... three months will be enough."

Toyama Xiong widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Three months?"

"Yes, three months if it goes well, and it may take longer considering the more complicated overseas situation, such as monsoons, tsunamis and other emergencies."

Fu Shanxiong hurriedly said: "I can't wait, I beg His Majesty the Emperor to remember the friendship between the two countries, can you... send troops as soon as possible?"

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Are you in charge?"

"Your subject... your subject...you can make the decision, pay the Heavenly Army for three months first...oh, no, two months of military supplies, and report it to General Ashikaga immediately to discuss follow-up matters."

Xiong Fushan knew that those thieves were undoubtedly the Ming army. Whether you admit it or not, everyone knows this well.

Don't you want money, first take out 60 taels, whether you go out or not, at least get those of you back first!
Zhu Qizhen didn't seem to expect that this person agreed so cleanly, and originally wanted to hang him out for a few days, but when they got anxious, they would naturally compromise.You can even take this opportunity to make another big deal, but now it's good, you just agreed, could it be... I want less?
"Then... alright, you send the money first. Just now, the minister of the Ministry of War also said that the army needs to be prepared for the expedition. If you send the money one day earlier, I can arrange the dispatch of troops one day earlier."

Fu Shanxiong thought quickly, and said: "The minister can sign an agreement with Daming on behalf of the Wa Kingdom, and the first military funds will be delivered within a month. Please also arrange the expedition as soon as possible. The minister does not want to urge, really Yes...there is no time, I hope His Majesty the Emperor can understand!"

Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to say: "Okay then, I will send someone to draw up an agreement, and you will come and sign it tomorrow!"

Fu Shanxiong hurriedly knelt down and said, "On behalf of the emperor of the country, General Ashikaga, and thousands of people in the country, I thank His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for his kindness!"

After the person left, Yu Qian asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do next?"

Zhu Qi straightened his teeth, still regretting in his heart, alas, it is really going to be less.

It should cost 50 per month, even if the price is bargained, at least 40 will be sold...

Now that things are up to now, it's embarrassing to go back on it. He looked at Yu Qian and said, "Since you agreed, let's do this!"

Yu Qian asked again: "The Japanese are not people who keep their promises. What if they don't take the money?"

Regarding this point, Zhu Qizhen was not worried on the contrary, and said: "Since I have agreed to help them suppress the thieves, such a large fleet and so many soldiers and horses must be supported by someone. If the Japanese don't have any money, Are they in the mood? As the saying goes, courtesy is reciprocal, and reciprocity is indecent, they will not understand this truth, don't worry, they will definitely give this money."

Some words are inconvenient to say clearly, but Yu Qian can also hear the implication of these words, dare not give money, I just don't send troops.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter needs careful consideration."

"Oh? What do you think, tell me!"

Yu Qian nodded and said: "The Japanese pirates come and go without a trace. Even if they are driven away, they may return one day. Therefore, in order to keep the coast of the Japanese country from being disturbed, my Ming army can be stationed in the Japanese country. For example, Hirado Town, which faces North Korea across the sea, is also the passageway for Ming to travel to the ocean. If a base is established here, it will not only benefit maritime trade, but also have huge benefits for the future development of Ming's navy and the search for more shipping routes. "

Zhu Qizhen said with a half-smile, "If so, wouldn't it be a robbery?"

"I thought that the Japanese would definitely welcome us. After all, without the Ming army in charge, the pirates who will wreak havoc in the future will definitely come back. Sending troops at that time will cost even more money and food. They should be able to settle the account."

Zhu Qizhen nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You're right, I didn't think carefully, and I must add this to tomorrow's agreement."

Yu Qian continued: "Besides, in order to eliminate the previous suspicions between Daming and Wa, I think that Ming and Wa should deepen exchanges. It is better for the emperor to personally issue an order to invite the sons of the great names of the Wa and the nobles, especially His eldest son came to Daming, either on a study tour, or came here to communicate."

"That's... a good idea! It's just... will they come?"

"Whoever refuses to come will not protect him!"

Yu Qian said confidently: "The terrain of the Wa country is long and narrow, and any place is under the attack of pirates. No one can be spared."

Zhu Qizhen gave Yu Qian a meaningful look, yes, this guy is on the road!

Yu Qian seemed to be still not satisfied, and continued: "Actually, it is not only the Wa country, but also North Korea, and its two classes of nobles can be the same. There are also Ryukyu, Uzang, Annan and other vassal states. Although my Ming Dynasty has a tribute system, But after all, we only deal with the small imperial courts of various countries, if we do not communicate with the nobles of various countries, they will inevitably lose their morality in the long run, so it is better for the emperor to issue an edict and invite the children of nobles from various countries to come to Beijing."

"Wonderful!"

Zhu Qizhen slapped the table excitedly, and said, "Just do as you said, and prepare now!"

For some reason, I suddenly felt happy.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that if the ancients played tricks, they would be no different than modern people.

They are only hindered by the shackles of the historical environment, and their vision is very limited. They are not stupid!

If we popularize the basic education and vigorously develop the theory of natural science, when the time comes, talents like Yu Qian will show up, then the Ming Dynasty will not take off...

Early the next morning, Toyama Xiong rushed over from Honglu Temple impatiently.

However, when he read the agreement, he was dumbfounded.

Daming requested to garrison troops in the country of Wa, and moreover, the country of Wa was required to bear the military expenses.

This is not enough, and the children of the famous and nobles of the Japanese country are also required to come to learn the cultural knowledge and advanced technology of Ming Dynasty. Isn't this...isn't it turning people into protons?

Too bullying!

However, now people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, no matter how much they are bullied, they must temporarily swallow their anger.

"I dare to ask His Majesty the Emperor, why is this agreement different from what was discussed yesterday?"

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "After the discussion yesterday, I feel that there are still many problems that have not been resolved. For example, the Japanese pirates are rampant. Even if I send troops to drive them away, who knows that they will make a comeback one day. If there is no garrison, how can the Japanese country be protected? Unmolested?"

Xiong Toyama understood what he meant, which meant that today you paid the money, and I helped you shovel the matter away, but it was just a one-off deal. If you don't plan to pay the money for a long time, the "Japanese pirates" will beat you in the future.

If this continues, the matter will not end.

Wa country needs to send money to Daming continuously for a long time, otherwise, it will be beaten.

When will such a day be the end!
Fu Shanxiong sighed secretly, and said: "If the army of the kingdom of heaven is willing to garrison, everyone in the Wa Kingdom would be very grateful, but... the Wa Kingdom is a small country, so I'm afraid they won't be able to spend so much money..."

Zhu Qizhen had been prepared for a long time, and said: "It's okay if you don't have money, you can exchange things."

Hiroshi Toyama's heart trembled, and he asked cautiously: "His Majesty the Emperor, the country is actually relatively poor, and I'm afraid I can't afford any... valuable things..."

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "I know, you don't have any valuable things over there, so just take a few ports out!"

port!

Even Hiroshi Toyama had been prepared in his heart. Hearing this, he couldn't help a mouthful of old blood, and almost passed out on the spot.

This is clearly driving people to death!

First, they sent troops pretending to be Japanese pirates to beat us, and then pretended to send troops to fight against the pirates, allowing us to get money, and now they want to garrison troops, and they want us to cede the port, haha, what a big game of chess!

Not to mention any protons entering Beijing, how about simply merging Wa Kingdom into Daming?
Yuu Toyama wanted to cry but had no tears, and what was in front of him was a complete conspiracy.

No, it's a conspiracy!

Conspiracies and tricks can't be seen in the light, and they are worthless if they are seen through. However, conspiracy is different. Now they want to kill you openly, but you have nothing to do.

How to do……

He thought about the trade-offs in his mind, and if he didn't give the money, the Japanese pirates would continue to wreak havoc, and even Daming might send out more "Japanese pirates", which would plunge the Japanese country into panic, and the whole country would be enveloped in the smoke of guns and artillery.

If things go on like this, all the ports will be abandoned. Is it true that the Wa Kingdom should also learn from Ming Dynasty and implement a sea ban?
This is absolutely impossible, because Daming has a vast land and abundant resources, even if it does not rely on the ocean, it can be self-sufficient.

But Japan is different. Not to mention the small size of the country, earthquakes, tsunamis, and domestic supplies are also very scarce. If you lose the ocean, it is equivalent to losing everything.

This money... Even if you grit your teeth, you can get it.

If it goes out, Wa country will be completely reduced to a subsidiary country of Ming Dynasty. From now on, no matter what you do, you will have to act according to the color of others.

If it doesn't come out, it's gone completely.

Fu Shanxiong weighed in for a long time, and had to say: "My servant is on behalf of the country, thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Finally, I still admit it.

Because there is no choice!
Zhu Qizhen was very satisfied, and immediately ordered: "Yu Qian, go prepare now, and send troops as soon as the money arrives!"

Yu Qian saluted and said, "Observe the order!"

Fu Shanxiong did not dare to neglect, signed with tears in his eyes, and immediately took the agreement, boarded the ship from Ningbo Port, and returned to Wa Kingdom.

For some reason, he has a feeling of betraying his country and seeking glory...

However, I obviously did a good thing. Only in this way can I guarantee that the Japanese country will not be killed by those "Japanese pirates" with guns and cannons.

With complicated emotions, he looked towards the sea, the sky was clear and the blue waves were sparkling... Wait!
He seemed to see a ship with a red three-headed dragon painted on the sail.

Three-headed dragon, pirates!

Xiong Toyama hurriedly shouted: "It's Japanese pirates!"

However, a hundred households on the boat took a look and said, "Where did the Japanese pirates come from? It's just a fishing boat. Don't make a fuss!"

Yuu Toyama was stunned, can't you see the big three-headed dragon pattern?

"My lord, look carefully, it's a Japanese pirate's ship!"
