Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 343: Choose the pirates' lair as your base, leaving them with nowhere to go
If there really is a pill to regret in the world, Li Ziwen would do his best to get it like a hungry tiger, even if he has to lose everything he has.

He could never have imagined that the Japanese pirates would be so cruel and brutal, slaughtering all the core family members of the Jiangnan Family Alliance as if they were possessed by demons.

If it wasn't at the critical moment, Li Ziwen would have revealed Nakazato Hesa's name.

I'm afraid that at this moment he has already drunk Meng Po soup by the Naihe Bridge, and is waiting for reincarnation in the bitter wind and rain.

"If he is truly not of my kind, his heart must be different!"

This sigh seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of Li Ziwen's soul with great difficulty, carrying with it endless grief and helplessness, and echoing in the air like a weeping bloody wail.

However, he was completely unaware of this. At this moment, Yao Guangxiao was in charge of the "Japanese pirate leader" who was responsible for slaughtering the core family members of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family Alliance.

They were sitting leisurely in the cabin and drinking happily, and their wanton laughter spread unrestrainedly in the air, piercing people's hearts like a sharp blade.

"Marquis Huaiyuan, the Japanese language you spoke earlier sounded very familiar, like the cordial call of an old friend.

I wonder which expert taught this?
If I have the opportunity, I would really like to come and ask for your advice."

Looking at Yao Guangxiao who was dressed in Japanese clothes opposite him, Huaiyuan Hou Cao Xing, who was also dressed in Japanese clothes, gently put down the wine glass in his hand.

The barely perceptible worry in his eyes flashed like a faint flame, and he said slowly: "Your Highness Prince Jin is willing to teach me, but I don't know if there is still hope for me to return to the Ming Dynasty after going to the Five Islands this time?"

That tone carried a deep fear of an unknown future and a lingering attachment to one's homeland, lingering in the hearts of both of them like wisps of smoke.

The Goto Islands, located in the western waters of Japan, are like a dazzling but dusty pearl. They were once a key hub for maritime transportation in East Asia.

Due to their unique geographical location, these islands are like warm, secluded and peaceful havens.

It became an important stopover for ancient Chinese ships traveling to Japan, and was especially a life-saving straw in people's hearts during bad weather.

Just as they were heading to the Goto Islands with great anticipation, a sudden storm swept in like a roaring beast.

The wind was howling and the waves were surging.

The ship was shaking violently in the waves like a falling leaf, as if it would be swallowed up mercilessly by the bottomless abyss of the sea in the next moment.

The inexperienced crew on board panicked and the cargo was scattered everywhere.

Fortunately, Cao Xing and Yao Guangxiao tried their best to command in the wind and rain, like a lighthouse standing firm in the strong winds and huge waves, and they managed to stabilize this shaky situation.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Gang chose the Goto Islands as the place where the "fake Japanese pirates" would occupy was mainly because it was the lair of the later pirate Wang Zhi.

After experiencing the ruthless baptism of the storm, Cao Xing's eyes became more determined, like the shining stars in the cold night.

When the two returned to the cabin, they changed into dry clothes.

Yao Guangxiao, who sat next to Cao Xing again, stroked his short beard and said, "As a key point of maritime transportation, the Goto Islands are located off the west coast of Kyushu, Japan.

Just like a mysterious key that can unlock endless wealth and supreme power, a slight turn opens the door to maritime transportation connecting Japan, Ming Dynasty, and Southeast Asia.

For those engaged in maritime trade and piracy, such a location is like a mysterious treasure house with endless treasures, which can facilitate our trade and information exchange with all parties.

It can not only easily reach various areas of the Japanese mainland, but also conveniently contact and trade with merchants, pirates and other forces along the coast of the Ming Dynasty and in Southeast Asia.

Your Highness Prince Jin has a sharp and unique vision, just like an eagle soaring in the sky overlooking the vast earth. I really admire you!"

After hearing what Yao Guangxiao said, Cao Xing hurriedly stood up and walked to the map.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, but his heart was in turmoil and could not calm down.

“The archipelago is made up of many islands, and the waterways between the islands are crisscrossed. It is like an intricate yet tempting mysterious network, which is indeed convenient for ships to hide their whereabouts and avoid tracking.

If we are besieged by the Ming army or other forces, we and our subordinates will be able to quickly disperse to various islands and use the complex terrain and sea environment to cleverly escape pursuit.

Moreover, the area is some distance away from the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the navy's operations at sea are subject to many restrictions, making it difficult to carry out long-term and effective strikes against it.

In this sense, the Goto Islands are truly a Feng Shui treasure land.”

Cao Xing's voice trembled slightly, expressing both a fiery anticipation for the future and an unspeakable hidden worry.

Yao Guangxiao's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and he said meaningfully: "I have heard His Royal Highness Prince Jin mention that the waters around the Goto Islands are extremely rich in fishery resources.

The richness was like an inexhaustible deep-sea treasure, which could provide ample food supply for Huaiyuan Hou and his people.

After all, obtaining food is an important cornerstone for maintaining the survival of a group at all times.

The abundant fishery resources are sufficient to guarantee our basic living needs.”

There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he had seen the hopeful future slowly unfolding before him.

Cao Xing, Marquis of Huaiyuan, who had served as prime minister of King Jin for a period of time, instantly understood the hidden meaning of Yao Guangxiao's words.

His heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a thousand-pound hammer, and waves of pain spread throughout his body like electric currents.

Cao Xing quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Jin has also told me that the region where the Five Islands are located has a deep trade tradition.

That tradition is like an ancient and tenacious tree root, deeply rooted here and standing firm despite the vicissitudes of time.

The local residents have frequent trade exchanges with surrounding areas.

By choosing this place as the territory, we can take advantage of the existing local trade networks and resources.

Further expand our own maritime trade activities and seek more economic benefits for the Jin Palace."

Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly and said: "The internal situation of Japan is now in chaos, and the disputes between the Northern and Southern Dynasties are rising one after another, like a turbulent and never-ending storm.

This means that their central government's control over local areas is extremely weak.

Like a candle in the wind, it flickers and is about to go out, and may fall into endless darkness at any time.

This political situation enables our force to find a certain living space in Japan.

In addition, some local forces in Japan may be more willing to cooperate with us for their own interests.

Or they may adopt an ambiguous attitude of turning a blind eye to related activities.

Like a cunning fox waiting for an opportunity, he seeks personal gain in the chaos. "

His expression was as solemn as ice, and his mind was clattering with calculations.

However, just as the two were discussing heatedly, a secret letter brought into the cabin by a carrier pigeon suddenly came like a thunderclap.

It turned out that someone had secretly informed Prince Huailiang of the Southern Dynasty of Japan in an attempt to completely crush Zhu Gang's grand plan.

Cao Xing's eyes were wide open with anger, he slammed the table and stood up, the flames of anger seemed to devour everything.

Yao Guangxiao was as calm as a deep lake, thinking calmly about how to deal with the situation.
