Borrow the day to change the day

After more than a week of recuperation, Zhong Jinwei appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen alive and kicking again.

In fact, his body had fully recovered two days ago, but because Archie was pregnant, he took another two days off for himself before re-entering the great cause of Zhongxing Daming.

"Master Zhong, I didn't expect Jianlu to send envoys to lobby Japan in a vain attempt to get Japan to send troops to the southeast coast." Emperor Chongzhen said to Zhong Jinwei a little surprised.

"Oh, is the envoy from Japan back?" Zhong Jinwei was also very surprised when he heard that.

Although in the original history, there was no such thing as Jianlu uniting with Japan.But he wasn't sure if something would change because of his appearance.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Yes, thanks to his adaptability, he burned the Jianlu embassy and killed Jianlu, leaving Japan with no way out, so he came to the Ming Dynasty with the envoy to pay tribute."

Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Who is this messenger, so powerful?"

In his memory, Ban Chao of the Eastern Han Dynasty seemed to have done this, and his heroic and decisive deeds have been handed down.

"His surname is Sun, his name is Chuanting, his style name is Boya, and he is from Wuwei, Daizhou Town." Emperor Chongzhen knew what official name to say, but it didn't help Zhong Jinwei's impression, so he directly introduced the basic information of Sun Chuanting down.

"Ah, so it was him, no wonder." When Zhong Jinwei heard it, he naturally knew who it was.Sun Chuanting can be regarded as a well-known person in the history of later generations.

After hearing Zhong Jinwei's answer, Emperor Chongzhen knew some information, and he confirmed, "Master Zhong, you are a well-known person in your hometown."

Zhong Jinwei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty. Since it is him, according to the reputation of my hometown, it is not surprising that he can do these things."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was delighted, and he discovered another talent that Master Zhong had missed.

"Your Majesty, when did they arrive in the capital and where are they now?" Zhong Jinwei asked Emperor Chongzhen.

"I just arrived yesterday, and I'm resting in the embassy. It's a pity that I missed the prisoner offering ceremony a few days ago, otherwise it would be enough to deter the Japanese, and they would not dare to contact Jianbao again." Emperor Chongzhen first answered Zhong Jinwei's question, and then said regretfully.

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this! Let someone accompany them to wander around the capital for a few days and listen to the discussions among the people. They will naturally know about my victory in the Ming Dynasty's war against the captives."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded first, then shook his head suspiciously: "Then will they suspect that the folks are exaggerating and unreliable?"

"How could it be? Let them see the heads of those captives, Dai Shan, and others to prove it." Zhong Jinwei replied without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head. He and Wen Tiren and other cabinet members mentioned it in the discussion yesterday.He said to Zhong Jinwei: "This is not enough to prove, because the Japanese don't know those people."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, he felt that Little Japan was extreme. Hearing the slightly exaggerated claims of the folks, and seeing some unfamiliar so-and-so, he might really have doubts, so it's better to be direct.

Thinking of this, he replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, how about this, I will organize a military parade to frighten them."

"Military parade?" Emperor Chongzhen asked quickly, not quite understanding what he heard.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei introduced the military parade ceremony of the later generations to Emperor Chongzhen, and then added: "It doesn't need to be very formal, just give the minister a few days to train and show the current military might of the Beijing camp."

Now Emperor Chongzhen pondered instead, and he said after a while: "Master Zhong, will it take a lot of trouble to do this?"

Regarding this point, Zhong Jinwei had already thought about it just now, and he replied: "Your Majesty, I think it is still necessary to do this. Because it is related to the feudal overseas affairs of the vassal king's clan, whether it will go well or not."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very curious, and quickly asked, "How could it be?"

"Your Majesty, the vassal kings and clans are bound to pass through the waters near Japan. If they do not truly submit to Daming, they will be afraid of Daming's combat power. It will be an extremely troublesome thing to harass Daming's ships going south and north." Zhong Jinwei's expression became solemn, and he analyzed seriously to Emperor Chongzhen.

After what Zhong Jinwei said, Emperor Chongzhen also realized this.When discussing the North American route before, I actually thought about it.For this reason, Sun Chuanting was sent to investigate the attitude of the Japanese king.

It was just because of successive victories in wars against captives that Emperor Chongzhen and others ignored Japan's potential threat to North American routes.

"Your Majesty, only by deterring the Japanese can we avoid the war against Japan that we have to take when troubles arise in the future." Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen did not speak immediately, Zhong Jinwei said again.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhong Jinwei seemed to have misunderstood, so he said to him: "I know, I just remembered it just now, and this matter has been discussed before."

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and suddenly said regretfully: "It's a pity that Daming is not strong enough now, otherwise there would be no need for a military parade to frighten Little Japan. Let him harass the North American route, and then use this as an excuse to send troops to destroy it." Little Japan is the safest way."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled when he heard this, and said that it would be a good day indeed.In the past, Ming Dynasty was good to Japan, but in exchange for Japanese pirates, there was also the Korean War during the Wanli period.There is no psychological burden for a country like this to be destroyed directly.

It's just a pity that it can't be done now, because the war of destroying the country is not something that can be succeeded by simply fighting a few battles.As a king, Emperor Chongzhen understood this truth.

"Okay, I will obey Master Zhong. I will let the Ministry of Rites make arrangements for the Japanese envoys. Only after Master Zhong arranges the military parade, let the Japanese envoys see the might of the Chinese army." Emperor Chongzhen concluded.

At this time, none of them thought that after some years, Ming finally sent troops to Japan.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei took the order to prepare for the military parade.At this time, Little Japan had just finished fighting and killing on those small islands, and hadn't seen much of the world.

Zhong Jinwei will not make this military parade as standard and grand as the later generations, he only needs the Beijing camp to show the momentum of a strong army.

Regarding this point, Zhong Jinwei was not worried at all.Because Jingying was originally the elite selected from Damingqin Wang's army, they all went to the battlefield and experienced life and death.Even the death camp and the new army have been nurtured by cruel wars or many victories, and they are not the same as ordinary elites.

When Zhong Jinwei had just left the gate of the palace, he suddenly remembered what he had discussed with Lu Xiangsheng, which was how to prevent Jianlu from counterattacking, and he had to discuss this with Emperor Chongzhen in advance.So, he turned back and re-entered the Wenhua Palace.
