If we rank the queens of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Miaojin is definitely among the best.
If Empress Ma is Zhu Yuanzhang's strong backing, then Zhu Di's successful rebellion was definitely without the help of Xu Miaojin.
Xu Miaozhen was brilliant and smart, and left a strong mark in the battle of Jingnan.
It can be said that he is a virtuous and virtuous person. Xu Miaojin can definitely be called Zhu Di's virtuous wife, who helped Zhu Di finally succeed in his rebellion.
When Li Jin saw the legendary Queen Xu, he couldn't help but look up and down.
Seeing Li Jin being so rude, Xu Miaojin couldn't help but blush on her face and spat:
"lecher."
Then, Xu Miaojin turned around and ran away, leaving behind a confused Li Jin.
I just looked twice and was called a disciple? Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Jin was led by the maid to the Xu family's living room.
"woke up?"
Xu Da had already been waiting in the living room for a long time. When he saw Li Jin arriving, he asked softly.
Li Jin touched his head and said:
"This drink has too much stamina. I have to stop drinking in the future."
Xu Da glanced at Li Jin angrily. This guy drank most vigorously yesterday, so he still wants to stop drinking? It may not be possible in this life.
"Now that you're awake, let's have a meal together later, and then go back to Shanghu County with me."
"So fast?"
Li Jin was shocked. He had only been in Yingtian for a few days, and he didn't expect to go back again.
Xu Da glanced at Li Jin and said calmly:
"The Emperor is afraid that if you don't leave, you will be beaten to death by Song Lian's disciples."
"whee."
As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, he heard bursts of laughter coming from behind the screen in the living room.
Li Jin's face froze slightly, and he looked at Xu Da awkwardly, speechless.
However, thinking of Song Lian being so angry that he vomited blood, Li Jin said with some guilt:
"That shouldn't be the case."
"How can you be so rude about a scholar? A gentleman can use his words but not his hands. He has the ability to scold me and make me vomit blood?"
Xu Da ignored Li Jin and said teasingly:
"Do you want to go back to Honglu Temple and see how crowded the streets are now?"
"There are at least thousands of students waiting at the gate of Honglu Temple now."
"Master Li, who do you think they are waiting for?"
Liu Yu's scalp was numb and his hairs stood on end when Xu Da said it, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Let's set off as soon as possible."
"Although I am not afraid of them, as the saying goes, a gentleman talks but never takes action. I am an upright gentleman and will not fight with these barbarians."
Seeing Li Jin's cowardly look, Xu Da said nothing more and just said:
"The food is ready. Come with me."
"Xu Shuai, there is one more thing."
Before Li Jin left, he spoke again:
"The two envoys from Wadao must be sent to Shanghu County. These two people are crucial."
"After we send troops to Japan, I will be of great use to these two people."
Xu Da turned around, frowned and asked:
"Where are these two people now? Didn't they let you occupy their embassy?"
Li Jin chuckled:
"Isn't there no place to live in Yingtian? Everyone in Honglu Temple is talented and well-spoken. I like it there very much."
"We have no choice but to ask two envoys from Wadao to stay in the imperial prison for two days, so that they can see more of the tragic situation of Jin Yiwei's execution."
"In this way, they will be more obedient in the future, and they will be less likely to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have on the Japanese island."
Xu Da took a deep look at Liu Yu.
Xu Da naturally knew how eerie and terrifying the prison was. People who arrived there would become mentally disturbed even if they had not been tortured by the Jin Yiwei.
Now these two Japanese envoys have been sent to prison. I wonder if they have committed suicide.
"You can handle this matter yourself. You are still holding the official position of a fourth-grade doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette."
"Didn't the Emperor give you full authority to deal with the affairs of the Japanese envoys?"
Li Jin nodded, and then asked the servants of the Xu family to go to Fusi, Beizhen Town, Yingtian Mansion, and send a note to Jiang Wei.
Then, he followed Xu Da to the dining hall to have a meal.
What Li Jin didn't expect was that Xu Da's family was all present.
Xu Da's wives, concubines, and three children were all introduced one by one by Xu Da. The pretty woman Li Jin saw in the morning was indeed Xu Da's eldest daughter, Xu Miaojin.
In addition, there are Xu Da's two sons, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou.
Li Jin saw them one by one and felt in his heart that Xu Da valued him.
Maybe it was because of his various performances that he caught Xu Da's attention that led to this banquet.
However, Li Jin didn't care. He was chatting and laughing at the dinner table, constantly talking about all kinds of interesting things he encountered in Shanghu County, as well as some novel Western objects, which often caused laughter at the dinner table.
Li Jin couldn't help but look at Xu Miaojin twice more. Compared to the dinner table, the beauty Xu Miaojin was the most eye-catching.
Xu Miaojin was often made laugh by Li Jin's humorous words, and his eyes unconsciously formed a crescent moon.
Li Jin ate the meal for half an hour. Finally, at Xu Da's request, Li Jin smacked his lips with some unfinished content.
Finally, Xu Da carried him out of the room and embarked on the journey back to Shanghu County.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
After Li Jin returned to Shanghu County, Zhu Yuanzhang took back his official position as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. The reason was simple: disrespect for his superiors.
Li Jin didn't care about this doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette. Fortunately, after Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to be dismissed, Song Lian's disciples and grandsons did not come to trouble Li Jin again.
Li Jin is already training troops and forming a fleet intensively.
Now Li Jin's naval fleet is already a giant fleet with more than a hundred warships. You must know that the Spanish Armada only had one hundred and thirty warships.
Li Jin's fleet alone has more than a hundred large warships, which are no less than the original invincible warships.
In addition, Li Jin also equipped these warships with a large number of transport ships, including more than 300 large and small ships.
Most of these transport ships are medium-sized ships that have just been built by the shipyard. The characteristic of these ships is that they have a very large cargo capacity.
The characteristics of Fuchuan are its big belly and small deck, which looks very funny, but precisely because of its large cargo compartment, its cargo capacity is often very huge.
These transport ships are responsible for providing logistics for the warships and transporting troops.
As the training of the newly recruited Yiwu soldiers gradually matured, Li Jin asked Lan Yu to take them to drive warships to and from the seas of Zhejiang and Fujian to perform cruise missions.
Once any Japanese pirate ship is discovered, it will be sunk immediately and no one will be left alive.
If someone dares to smuggle, the ship will be seized first. If someone dares to resist, the ship will be sunk as well, without mercy.
Li Jin finally cleared the Ming Dynasty sea area, and now that the fruits are about to blossom and bear fruit, he must not let others pick the peaches.
These measures taken by Li Jin completely compressed the living space of the remaining Japanese pirates, causing these Japanese pirates to return to the Japanese islands one after another and no longer dare to stay in the Daming Sea.
As for the merchants who went to sea privately, after Li Jin successively sank merchant ships, they all asked for leave on the spot, and no one dared to risk going to sea anymore.
It can be said that Li Jin's family is the only one in the Ming Dynasty now, and no one dares to take advantage of him.
Li Jin was actively preparing for war, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not idle either.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang took out the memorandum against thieves from Li Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang had tens of thousands of copies printed day and night.
Then the Ming Dynasty's largest spy agency, Jinyiwei, began to penetrate into the Japanese island with the help of Li Jin.
In just half a month, all the daimyo and vassal towns on the Japanese island received the petition against thieves.
The whole country on the Japanese island was shocked, and what shocked them even more was that this memorandum against thieves actually had the signatures of Saito Tianchi and Ashikaga Yoshichunaga.
This entire text was written in Japanese, and it was a proclamation that cursed the Southern Dynasty court and called on the whole country to attack the Southern Dynasty court.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Daigo Emperor of the Southern Dynasty was bewildered, as was the Muromachi Shogunate who controlled the power of the government in the Northern Dynasty.
None of them expected that Ashikaga Yoshinaga and Saito Tianichi would do this, because it meant that the two sides were completely torn apart and would fight to the death.
Today's Northern Dynasties do not have an advantage. If this is done, the outcome of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is yet to be determined.
What the Muromachi shogunate did not expect was that Ashikaga Yoshinaga would invite the Ming Dynasty to come to quell the rebellion at the end of his appeal against thieves.
This was a shock to the Muromachi shogunate. They felt that Ashikaga Yoshinaga was absolutely crazy.
As a member of the Ashikaga family, why would he do this? Doesn't he know that doing this will be a disaster for both the Southern and Northern Dynasties?
