When Xu Qin returned to Haifansi, it was already snowing heavily. He returned with a fully loaded fleet.
On this day, Haifansi's port was specially vacated for the fleet he brought back to dock.
The war between Japan and Japan has been gradually reported back to the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty sent the Shenji Battalion to the north for training. Unexpectedly, Xu Qinqian made such a big move.
First, they directly attacked the Kaijing City of North Korea and forced North Korea to send troops to attack the Japanese country.
But after taking over Tsushima Island, he still wasn't willing to give in. He coerced the Korean army to cross the sea and arrived in Japan.
Fighting in Japan for more than four months, during this period Zhang Fu also transferred the main force of the Shenji Battalion, leaving only 7,000 people.
When the Korean army escaped in the middle of the night, he adapted and killed the Japanese general Ashikaga Yoshimichi. Defeated 60,000 Japanese troops.
After supporting Emperor Kameyama to ascend the throne, he forced Japan to cede territory and pay compensation. Just one Iwami silver mine has an annual output of two million taels.
This does not include the associated copper ore, iron ore, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of copper. In addition, saltpeter, sulfur, and young labor were brought to Daming every year.
Now that the Japanese and Southern Dynasties were at odds with each other, both sides had to turn to the Ming Dynasty in order to better defeat each other.
The day Xu Qin disembarked was almost at the end of the year. The imperial envoy who greeted him was Yang Shiqi. This shows the court's attitude towards Xu Qin at this time.
Zhu Di issued an imperial edict and appointed General Hai Guangwei to Xu Qin. Haifansi was once again upgraded to a fourth-grade yamen. The subordinates who were successful in planning were promoted to one level.
Zhu Di also specifically mentioned that Xu Hao was promoted to captain of light vehicles. The two sons of the Xu family, Wei Daming, traveled thousands of miles. Zhu Di was satisfied.
Over the past year or so, with the normal operation of the Enset Consulting Field and the Haifan Division. Zhu Di's own treasury is not considered to be rare treasures, but foreign objects from overseas.
The silver alone is almost a million taels. The Ministry of Household Affairs took more than 1.5 million taels of tax money from these two departments.
Of the 1,200,000 silver sent back from the Iwawa Kingdom's Ishimi Silver Mine, 560,000 belonged to the Royal Silver. Because the banknote has been given to the daimyo.
This part must be offset.
The remaining 640,000 taels went into the pocket of the Ministry of Revenue, which was regarded as the military salary and expenses of the Shenji Battalion.
The amount of silver stored in Haifansi's Ming Dynasty Royal Silver Number alone has reached eight million taels. And there is a growing trend.
There are eight million taels of silver, and eight hundred silver notes are circulating outside. The Grand Royal Silver notes are very strong.
Many merchants are willing to deposit silver even if they do not do maritime business. Royal Bank has opened branches in Nanjing, Yangzhou, Fujian and other places as planned.
After Yang Shiqi read out the imperial edict for the reward, there was a second edict, which was to choose a date for Xu Qin and the princess to get married.
"Congratulations, young master, for opening up new territories and becoming famous in foreign lands." Yang Shiqi said happily.
"It's all my own fault. It's all due to His Majesty's support and the tolerance of the court princes. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened in a few days. I've caused trouble to you all."
Everyone carried the sedan chair. Xu Qin knew that he was forcing North Korea outside. If he sent troops to the Japanese country, he was afraid that Zhu Di and these ministers would be under huge pressure at home.
Because there are always those who are stupid in reading, talking about benevolence and righteousness, and talking about a country without conquests.
They turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he complains a little bit, he will be labeled as unruly.
But we cannot see that Ming Dynasty was not good to other countries, otherwise it would be contrary to the way of the saints, and we must convince people with virtue.
He could all think of the excuses, such as provoking border provocations, not conquering the country, and violating the ancestral system.
They couldn't see the huge gains or the benefits gained by Ming Dynasty, so they copied the books mechanically and lived in narcissism of convincing others with virtue.
It is as if the words of the Yongle Saint can lead to peace and prosperity. The reason why the world cannot be peaceful and prosperous is that the emperor did not do a good enough job. It has nothing to do with him anyway.
It is inevitable for a young man to achieve such an achievement and be arrogant and arrogant. But Yang Shiqi didn't expect Xu Qin's understanding to be so clear.
Not only was he not proud of himself, he also gave all the credit to the court.
"My young master is too self-effacing. If he hadn't dared to be the first in the world, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today." Yang Shiqi said sincerely.
"Without the power of the Ming Dynasty and the open-mindedness of His Majesty, I might not have been able to reach North Korea. Thirteen gold medals would have chased me. What I can be proud of is that Your Majesty and the court are tolerant and generous."
This time Xu Qin was not being modest but telling the truth. If the Ming Dynasty was not strong, how could it easily coerce North Korea? If Zhu Di did not silently support him, how could he take back Jeju Island, and how dare he wait for the decisive battle in Japan for several months?
Logistics and supplies were a thorn in his side. After all, Zhu Di was not Song Gaozong, and he could not be regarded as Yue Fei.
What the two people said meant nothing.
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Xu Qin's whereabouts and actions, because he took Guan Guan and Wan Wan with him, and even all the strategies and ideas along the way were not concealed. Jin Yiwei naturally found out in time.
Zhu Di knew very well, and he knew every step of Xu Qin's actions.
Until Jiaozhi rebelled, he transferred Zhang Fu but did not give Xu Qin any orders, just letting him choose on his own. Whether to fight or retreat depends on Xu Qin's own choice.
He did not expect that Xu Qin would choose to fight and lead a lone army of 7,000 to fight against the entire Japanese nation. At the critical moment, when 20,000 Koreans fled, he actually defeated 60,000 Japanese troops. Kill the Japanese shogunate.
By the way, he also saved more than 10,000 people in North Korea. Finally, the Japanese were forced to sign such a treaty.
It is simply to draw the blood of the Japanese country to strengthen the muscles and bones of the Ming Dynasty. This battle demonstrated the confidence of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the dignity and pride of the Ming Dynasty.
Seven thousand troops marched across the Japanese country. Zhu Di was very happy. He couldn't help but wonder what the history books would write about him.
"He may not be my Huo Qubing, but he must be my Chen Qingzhi." Zhu Di said, stroking his beard with satisfaction.
After saying that, I felt something was wrong. Emperor Wu of Liang was not a good emperor.
"Father, do you think that if Zhang Fu had not been transferred, would this boy have gone to Kyoto?"
Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Di.
Zhu Di recalled Jin Yiwei's information and shook his head. Xu Qin never had this idea. It was impossible for even 100,000 people to occupy the Japanese country, let alone more than 10,000 people.
Therefore, Xu Qin's main purpose was to create division and opposition in the Japanese country, and then the Ming Dynasty gradually took action.
It's just that without Zhang Fu's 10,000 people, this country almost relies too much on the Koreans. As a result, the North Koreans almost cheated him.
"Probably not, there are too few people after all. Japan is not a small country. But Jiaozhi..." Zhu Di's face turned ugly when he thought of this.
The chief envoy of Cochin did not understand the court's intentions at all. Blindly exacting taxes and extortionately.
Even turning a blind eye to the signs of rebellion led to the uncontrollable consequences later. Otherwise, Zhang Fu would not have to leave Japan in a hurry.
"Those in Jiaozhi should not be spared lightly, whether they are rebels or the original chief envoys." Zhu Di said coldly.
Zhang Fu had already arrived in Yunnan as the chief officer and soldier, but the command of the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Sheng, was poor in the early stage. Military Counselor Liu Jun, Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi Liu Yu and Lu Yi were killed in the battle.
The situation was out of control for a while, and now Zhang Fu was reorganizing his army and planned to attack at any time.
"It would be better to mobilize Xu Qin's seven thousand soldiers and horses to cross over from the sea and attack from the north and south." Zhu Gaochi said.
"Wait a minute, Xu Qin's wedding is coming soon. Moreover, they should be repaired for the expedition to Japan." Zhu Di said with flashing eyes.
Haifansi Liujiagang.
Xu Qin entertained Yang Shiqi and took a stroll in Liujiagang. The place had changed a lot in just a few months.
A huge nine-story pagoda was built on Mantou Mountain. Suppressed three thousand Japanese pirates.
A huge clock tower was built next to the port, and the craftsmen finally understood the gears and research. The entire Haifansi built on this bell tower can be seen.
At the top of the hour, the big clock will sound melodious. The clock tower has four sides, and everyone can see the time when they look up.
Xu Qin was followed by Heitan Tou. With the help of his son, this guy could finally speak the words of the Ming Dynasty.
Holding an umbrella to protect Xu Qin from the heavy snow in the sky, Xu Qin wore a white fox fur cloak. There is a white jade hairpin in the bun on her head.
Take a stroll in Liujiagang.
In the shipyard in the distance, a huge dock has been built, and four treasure ships the same size as Zheng He's voyages to the West are already being built.
Positions for the cannons have been reserved above, and with these Xu Qin, at least the people of the Haifansi can be guaranteed to control the entire coastal area of the Ming Dynasty.
But the boat was not enough. Otherwise, we would not be so polite to Japan this time.
Suddenly he discovered that there were many blond people and even women. The appearance of these women did not attract any attention.
Haiboji is used to it. These people are all from overseas. It is said to have come from thousands of miles away.
While he was lost in thought, a blond girl with big breasts and fat buttocks ran happily past him.
"Young Master..." Lu Siliang came to Xu Qin and greeted him carefully.
"Master Lu, you have become rich recently." Xu Qin said.
"It's all thanks to you. I've also got a few boats and want to do business. Can the young master give me some guidance?"
Lu Siliang said carefully, he wanted to see Xu Qin's thoughts.
"Okay, we are all our own people, I will give you a convenience. You know that the Japanese country gave Ming a piece of territory. But wherever the Japanese people are more numerous and the Ming people are smaller, it is not a problem.
You can recruit some people in Ming Dynasty and make an agreement with Ouyang Fei, wherever it is convenient for you. As long as you pay taxes on land and minerals, Ming Dynasty will recognize your legitimate income. "
Xu Qin began to encourage Ming immigrants. As long as there are enough immigrants, Xu Qin can ensure that wherever there is, it will gradually become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
He believed too much in the ability of the Ming people to live their lives, or in other words, he believed too much in his ancestors. As long as it can take root, it will surely do well.
Lu Siliang understood it wrong. His eyes lit up, what does Prince Ming's son mean? Is this finding a place for the white lotus to bloom?
Could it be that the son of King Ming's overseas expedition was just to find a pure land for the White Lotus Sect?
"Young Master, you are really..." Lu Siliang was speechless.
"Hypocritical, go ahead and do it quickly. The more people come there, the better. The sooner you go, the more favorable the policy will be." Xu Qin patted his shoulder and encouraged.
Lu Si was shocked beyond measure.
