Wanli 1592

Chapter 146 Unequal Treaties

"Return to Your Majesty, it is true."

Although he was a little displeased with Yang Junmin's dismantling, but in front of the emperor, Shi Xing could only pretend to be magnanimous and indifferent, so he said: "But apart from Chen Lin's liking for gold and silver coins, he is indeed very good at fighting. He has never lost a single battle, and he will be 60 years old this year. He can be regarded as a veteran veteran, who can intimidate the soldiers, and has a good reputation in the southern army. It is indeed appropriate for him to be the admiral of the navy."

"Employees are not suspicious, suspects are not necessary. Although Chen Lin has some minor problems, I can't expect everyone to be honest and honest. As long as he can do things and win battles, take some money and go. I don't care, and I will reward him greatly. You send someone to call Chen Lin to the capital to order him to prepare to go south to integrate the navy, so that the navy can be dispatched as soon as possible."

Zhu Yijun decided to use this money-greedy Chen Lin.

"By the way, you can't give him the rank of admiral. You have to let someone take care of him, so that he doesn't rely on his old age to sell his old age. When he goes to the battlefield, he has to push three obstacles and four seniority rankings. He is only given the rank of commander-in-chief. He is under the command of admiral Xiao Ruxun and obeys his orders."

"According to the order!"

Goodbye Shi Xing.

After the discussion was over, Zhu Yijun turned around and left without saying anything else to comfort them, which made the two of them feel anxious. After they could not see Zhu Yijun at all, they left the palace carefully. The moment they stepped out of the palace gate, At the same time he was relieved.

"Shibutang, why do I feel that His Majesty has called us here, and it has become very different from before?"

After all, Yang Junmin is not his father, Yang Bo, and cannot feel the true meaning of Zhu Yijun's attitude change before and after, but Shi Xing can clearly feel it, but he has no friendship with Yang Junmin, and has no contact with the Jin Party faction. Questioning the candidate he proposed, he naturally has nothing to warn Yang Junmin.

"It can only be said that His Majesty is angry with us, and we should be more careful in what we do in the future, so as not to offend His Majesty. Losing an official position is a small matter, but a family matter is a big deal!"

With a strange smile on Shi Xing's face, he finished his sentence in a strange manner, and then walked away. Before Yang Junmin could react, Yang Junmin did not react until Shi Xing walked a long way, and the anger flashed across his face. .

"you……"

As soon as the words came out, I didn't know where to start. The Jin Party was acting too arrogantly, and those Shanxi merchants acted too recklessly, which touched the nerves of other places. What's more, if I resign, the support of the Jin Party in the court will disappear, and the other factions and factions will definitely try to embezzle the Jin Party's right to speak.

At that time, what should the first branch of the Jin Party do?
It is true that Jin merchants succeed, and Jin merchants lose!

Thinking about the 20 taels of silver, Yang Junmin had a headache, shook his head, and had no choice but to leave the palace lonely.

The news that the emperor summoned his courtiers quickly spread throughout the court and the public. Some of the courtiers were excited, some were worried, and their thoughts were different. When Shi Xing and Yang Junmin came back, they crowded around and asked long and short questions, making them very depressed. Then he repeated what the emperor had said, and conveyed the news that the emperor was going to dispatch the navy to attack the Japanese pirates.

After hearing this news, many speech officials decided to write a letter to accuse the emperor. The war cannot be opened lightly. Although it has been opened now, the 30 army marching east to North Korea is already the limit of Ming Dynasty. What else does Ming need to do?It costs another [-] taels of silver to dispatch the navy, and we won’t get anything in return for fighting Japanese pirates in North Korea.
Zhu Yijun will not easily tell the key points of the problem to the ministers. He wants to monopolize the benefits this time and not share them with others, so the apparent imperial decree is to divert attention. Gave it to Xiao Ruxun.

What Zhu Yijun meant was to force Xiao Ruxun to sit at the negotiating table after getting the cooperation of the navy and cutting off the Japanese pirates' retreat, and then occupy all the places he knew had gold and silver mines. Force Japan to cede land, cut off a piece of land with a population, and enslave those Japanese to open mines for Daming, saving Daming from spending manpower and material resources on his own. If he can do it, he will set up a new military town and appoint Xiao Ruxun as the commander of this military town Chief soldier.

So when Xiao Ruxun received this secret order in Daegu, he was quite dumbfounded.

Zhu Yijun has decided to enlist himself to become his confidant, which is good news. However, Xiao Ruxun does not intend to develop his own power from here. His purpose is to develop in Nanyang, where he can get in touch with a wider world. Get in touch with more foreigners, do some things that are still under consideration, and seek a foundation for standing.

As long as this place is guarded by a reliable person, Ma Gui is a good candidate, but Zhu Yijun's appetite is obviously in line with Xiao Ruxun's ideas. Gold mines and silver mines are not enough, and they need to cede land and pay compensation. What a good idea is this?
Yes, why didn't I think of forcing Japan to sign an unequal treaty and force them to cede land and pay compensation?Japan is far from a monolithic interior. They are also divided into eastern and western factions. The western faction is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's own strength, and the eastern faction belongs to the "outside daimyo", similar to semi-independent vassal states that listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement. Toyotomi Hideyoshi can't interfere in other people's affairs.

Not to mention that Xiao Ruxun also knew that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the last victor of the Warring States Period in Japan, was hidden among these most powerful foreign daimyos.

I have to say that Japan's Warring States Period is really similar to China's Three Kingdoms Period, and Tokugawa Ieyasu can indeed be compared with Sima Yi. They are also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Ninja has the right to rule, and the 260-year rule of the Tokugawa shogunate has also begun. It is not an exaggeration to call it an old fox.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces are in turmoil right now, and the final victor Tokugawa Ieyasu is still eyeing him. If Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hawkish forces can be greatly defeated on the battlefield, then wait until Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is relatively conservative in thinking, takes power in Japan. Forcing him to sign an unequal treaty in exchange for Ming's recognition is probably a possibility.

Based on the current situation, it seems that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has not responded to the defeat on the Korean battlefield, but Xiao Ruxun believes that this is not because Toyotomi Hideyoshi has not responded, but because he does not know about it at all. If his generals deliberately conceal their The defeat, Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself is not in North Korea, how to know?

PS: Just to clarify, it will be on the shelves next Friday. Before that, I will try my best to save the manuscript, so there will only be one update from today to next Thursday. I will update it after it is on the shelves on Friday. Please understand~~
