Zhang Juzheng's methods were very vicious. He wrote many specific methods in his memorial, but Zhang Juzheng did not say them out.
Zhang Juzheng's behavior can never be called kind, and he never claims to be a good person. However, the courtiers did not object, and they made Japan feel uncomfortable every time.
There is a blood feud between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, which is an inextricable knot.
Regarding the matter of exterminating the Japanese, Zhang Juzheng was not serious about fooling the emperor, but was promoting the decision-making step by step through various decrees. The most frightening thing is that even if Zhang Juzheng's poisonous schemes were made public and known to everyone, It does not affect the implementation of these poisonous plans, and can help the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Japanese.
Because these vicious schemes are unstoppable conspiracy.
The first decree allowed merchant ships to go to Japan for trading.
This decree can also be understood as: This is a further step for the Ming Dynasty to open up the sea.
Zhang Juzheng will not become a traitor to the Japanese because of this, because the merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to the Japanese country to traffic Japanese silver, not for one, two, five, or ten years, but for decades or hundreds of years, and they have gone through hundreds of years. After more than ten years of struggle, Zhang Juzheng himself would not be beaten to the list of Japanese invaders because he was solving a deep-rooted contradiction and problem in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invasion.
The causes of Japanese invasion are very complex, but generally related to the opening and closing of seas. Banning seas does not prevent maritime trade, but makes sea trade a private patent.
For example, the current method of soot blowing in Japan was passed down from the Ming Dynasty.
The amalgam method used in Taixi is more efficient, but more harmful to workers.
The Ming Dynasty actually noticed very early that mercury can digest gold and silver into mud. Mercury can be used to capture free gold and silver in coarse-grained ores to form amalgam, which is amalgam. However, mercury is a highly toxic substance. Spanish colonists used it in large quantities. The amalgam method was used to refine gold and silver because they had a large number of cheap slaves to use.
The soot blowing method is to use the mutual solubility characteristics of silver and lead to obtain a silver-lead alloy, and then introduce air to oxidize the lead to obtain crude silver.
Merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to Japan all year round to sell Japanese silver, and they had to take a detour to Ryukyu. No words about Japan could appear in the customs clearance documents. This time the court further opened up the sea and relaxed the ban, so there was no need to make a detour. Maritime merchants You will only make more.
Maritime merchants do business at sea, and they have to shed a layer of skin after passing a hurdle.
"We cultivate friends and relatives of the Japanese country. With the opening of the sea, won't Ming Dynasty have many more Japanese traitors?" Ma Ziqiang expressed his doubts. He did not agree with this decree. There are few people in the Japanese country and many people in the Ming Dynasty. , the absolute number of Japanese thieves will definitely be greater than the friends who admire Daming.
This will cause a lot of trouble for Daming.
When the time comes, the Japanese thieves will shout that one family in the Ming Dynasty is related to the Japanese. Wouldn’t that make everyone laugh?
Wan Shihe sneered and said, "If they don't open the sea, won't they be able to communicate with the Japanese?"
"Yes." Ma Ziqiang frowned, then relaxed. Wan Shihe was now too good at ending arguments with one sentence. Even if merchants from the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to go to the Japanese country to sell, there would be many people who were close to the Japanese and communicated with the Japanese. Because Japan's silver production was stable and its quantity was the largest.
Merchants who pursue profits always gather in places with the most money. The number of people from Fujian, Zhejiang and Huaihe in Japan is not small, such as the former sea pirate Wang Zhi.
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Wan Shihe in surprise. When Wan Shihe first became the Minister of Rites, he was really on the verge of death. Now he has become somewhat of an evergreen tree in the court. This pair of The change of wind direction is really extremely sharp.
"Wang Bengu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Nanjing, submitted a memorial. Hearing that there were pirates Lin Afeng and others under the governor of Luzon, he asked for orders to kill them." Zhang Juzheng turned out a memorial.
Wang Bengu served successively during the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli years. He served in three dynasties and was highly respected.
"Has he been to Luzon? Does he know the situation in Luzon? How much effort did Yin Butang put in to make Luzon impregnable? If he just says a word, I will order to kill Lin Afeng? Yin Butang The ministry wants to use it, but I say no? Lu Song is far away overseas, and he is disobedient. The Ming Dynasty is in danger." Zhu Yijun immediately expressed his opposition to this memorial.
Zhang Juzheng presented this memorial specifically to the young emperor and told the little emperor the details.
When Wang Bengu was the governor of Zhejiang, he had conflicts and conflicts with Hu Zongxian regarding the handling of pirate Wang Zhi.
But in the end, the governor of Zhejiang, Wang Bengu, won a great victory and Wang Zhi was arrested and finally beheaded in Hangzhou. From then on, the Japanese invasion intensified.
Hu Zongxian advocated using both suppression and appeasement to recruit Wang Zhi and use Wang Zhi's powerful overseas power to destroy pirates;
However, Wang Bengu hated evil and felt that pirates were pirates. Wang Zhi falsely stated that he would help the Ming Dynasty quell the Japanese invasion, just to use the prestige of the court to strengthen his own reputation.
Before Wang Zhi was recruited by the imperial court, he arrogantly proclaimed himself the king of Satsuma Island, the Song Dynasty, and called himself the King of Hui. All thirty-six islands of the Satsuma Domain were under Wang Zhi's control.
Hu Zongxian personally wrote a letter asking Wang Zhi to enter the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhi's entry into the Ming Dynasty was very cumbersome and complicated. Wang Zhi's ship arrived outside Cengang, Ningbo, but he still hesitated. Only after Hu Zongxian's persuasion did Wang Zhi agree to disembark.
However, Hu Zongxian failed to save Wang Zhi in the end. Wang Bengu, representing the deep-rooted retro-religious faction in the court, beheaded Wang Zhi, and the leaderless Japanese pirates began to invade the southeast.
Wang Bengu wanted to kill Wang Zhi because of his stubbornness and prejudice against villains. Even though Wang Zhi had never seduced Japanese pirates to invade the sea area, and even helped the Ming Dynasty navy to pacify Japanese pirates many times under Hu Zongxian, Wang Bengu Gu felt that a villain like Wang Zhi had both ends of the head and the rat. In the environment where he was bound to die if he crossed the Japanese border, Wang Zhi was beheaded.
Wang Bengu believed that the villain Wang Zhi had a desire to make a profit. He violated the sea ban and went to the sea. He forgot the meaning of China. He entered the foreign country and became a bandit. He arrogated the name Song and Yue and proclaimed himself king. He deserved death.
Wang Zhi was already dead when he was arrested. Even if Wang Zhi is released, who can guarantee that Wang Zhi does not hold a grudge and will not collude with Japanese pirates to invade the Ming Dynasty?
When he heard that Yin Zhengmao was re-employing Lin Afeng in Luzon, Wang Bengu reported to the court and requested that Ni Hu be killed.
Why must Wang Zhi die?
Because Wang Zhi's proposition harmed the vital interests of smuggling merchants along the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zhi advocated that the imperial court abandon its outdated maritime ban policy, legalize maritime trade, establish a customs rate office to collect tariffs, establish municipal shipping departments in Zhejiang and Fujian, and restore Japan's tribute trade relations.
This seriously harmed the smugglers' monopoly on maritime trade, so Wang Zhi must die.
In the second year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty established the Yuegang Shipping Department. Many years after Wang Zhi's death, the legalization of maritime trade finally began slowly and slowly.
"Then Lin Afeng is in Luzon, and he can kill as many times as he wants? Does Wang Bengu still think it was when he killed Wang Zhi?" Wan Shihe got the wind and immediately spoke in agreement: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the Ming Dynasty With regard to the relationship with Luzon, he even did not hesitate to give the country a surname. Wouldn’t this kind of edict become the source of disaster when it reaches Luzon?”
Once the edict to kill Lin Afeng reaches Luzon, whether to kill or not will be a question.
If they were killed, the six to seven thousand pirates under Lin Afeng's command would turn into civil strife in Luzon and even spread to the Ming Dynasty.
If he didn't kill him and disobeyed the imperial decree, he would break with the Ming Dynasty and completely rely on the Ming Dynasty to rule the Governor's Mansion. He would be beaten to pieces by Taixi's red-haired fans and overturned in an instant.
Wan Shihe is definitely not alarmist when he says that this is the source of trouble, because unrest will definitely happen.
Lin Afeng was not disobedient. After being recruited, she was also conscientious in her work, and Yin Zhengmao's control over Lin Afeng was also very effective. All the generals and junior officers under Lin Afeng were guests led by Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Yuanxun, and Deng Zilong. Soldiers are in charge.
"Wan Dazai's words are reasonable." Tan Lun agreed with Wan Shihe's statement.
Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou, as famous anti-Japanese generals back then, knew clearly that Wan Shihe's words were based on historical lessons and what kind of disaster Wang Bengu had caused when he arrested Wang Zhi without authorization.
Wang Zhi's pirate family was the dominant one and was entrenched in Satsuma Prefecture, which completely blocked the Japanese influence on the Ming Dynasty. Once Wang Zhi died, the Japanese pirates were like vicious dogs out of the cage.
Because Wang Zhi's death meant that Ming Dynasty completely lost control of its maritime territory.
Hai Rui said with a playful expression: "As the saying goes, once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out. It is said that if you clear the prefecture in three years, you will get one hundred thousand gold and silver. This means, No matter how honest the magistrate is, he can make a hundred thousand gold and silver in three years."
"Wang Bengu, who has been an official to the Ministry of Personnel, has a reputation for being honest. We should check to see if he is really honest."
Hai Rui directly regarded Wang Bengu as an anti-corruption target because he felt that the memorial was unreasonable. Luzon was thousands of miles away. How did Wang Bengu understand the situation in Luzon and write a memorial? thing?
After Yang Bo became an official and returned to his hometown, he ignored the affairs of the court. The court learned about Yang Bo again, and it was when Yang Bo died of illness at home.
Ge Shouli shook his head and said, "If anything is found out, nothing can be done about it, right?"
Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no anti-corruption and it was a political default rule to let bygones be bygones. No matter how greedy Wang Bengu was, he couldn't investigate and deal with it, right?
Hai Rui said with a smile: "Why can he write a letter to speak out? Because he is a second-ranking Jin gentry, so why he wanted to write this memorial about killing Lin Afeng can always be investigated."
"That's it." Ge Shouli understood.
When can past deeds be pursued? When he doesn't stop and still collects money to do things, old accounts from the past will have to be listed and dealt with.
Zhang Juzheng continued to preside over the court discussions. This time he appointed an envoy to Ryukyu and made Shangjiu king to help the Ryukyu king pacify the Japanese.
Shangjiu was not the crown prince, and the court did not want to confer the title on him, so it delayed for five years. But the problem now was that the Ming Dynasty was beyond its reach. The right way was to use the help of Ryukyu to pacify the Japanese to expand the Ming Dynasty's influence in Ryukyu.
The third lady came to Beijing. This was her third tribute. After staying at Huitongguanyi, she rested for a day and couldn't wait to see Chen Xuexue, the minister of Honglu Temple.
"My sister's matter has caused a lot of trouble for Chen Dongqing." After greeting each other, Sanniangzi first apologized. She gave her sister to Chen Xuexue to establish a communication channel and prepare for her entry into the court.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Siwei's military expedition was in danger. Because the wool business was a big deal, the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty was no longer satisfied with communicating with the Jin Party in the northwest. Instead, they wanted to communicate directly with the court. This sister is actually the same as what I said at the time. It was the same when Khan's grandson fled into the Ming Dynasty. They were all creating communication channels.
But Sanniangzi, the younger sister, fled back, making Chen Xue Xue very passive.
"She comes from a womanly family, and there is fierce competition in the court. It is normal for her to be afraid." Chen Xuexue sat upright and said with a smile.
Sanniangzi's sister was Chen Xuexue's concubine, and now she is Chen Xuexue's concubine. Therefore, Sanniangzi and Chen Xuexue were related by marriage. Chen Xuexue originally intended to avoid suspicion. Sanniangzi, as the loyal and shun wife canonized by the Ming Dynasty, was also qualified to face the Ministry of Rites directly. Shangshu Ma Ziqiang.
However, Zhang Juzheng still asked Chen Xuexue to receive him during the court meeting. This was a kind of protection.
"Chen Dongqing is a real man." Sanniangzi said sincerely.
Chen Xuexue looked at Sanniangzi with some doubts. This sentence seemed to have no beginning or end.
The third wife said very solemnly: "I thought that my sister was not going to die soon until she came to Huitongguanyi yesterday to look for me, so I said that Chen Dongqing is a real man."
Sanniangzi had a pessimistic attitude towards her sister returning to the Ming Dynasty. She sent her sister back to the capital. In fact, she was already prepared for her sister to die violently and find out who this person was. Sanniangzi had seen how ruthless scholars in the Ming Dynasty were many times. In order to Fighting for power and profit, fighting for power, what can't be done?
Sanniangzi's sister has become a hindrance to Chen Xuexue's continued advancement, so it is only natural that she die in order to eliminate the resistance.
"Mrs. Zhongshun is ridiculous. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since you have entered my house, you will naturally be under my care." Only then did Chen Xuexue understand that in this sister-in-law's heart, feelings are like this murderous thing. Silent villain.
The escape of Sanniangzi's sister was finally deemed by the court as a return to hometown to visit relatives. After returning, his problem was not so serious.
Because the court's public opinion is still focused on Wang Chonggu, a clan traitor, especially since Wang Chonggu is about to join the cabinet due to his merits, Wang Chonggu is even more at the forefront of the storm. No one pays attention to the issues of Chen Xuexue.
After all, people came back with their children.
If Sanniangzi's sister does not come back, or cannot come back, Chen Xuexue will be in trouble.
Chen Xuexue couldn't help but think of Wang Daokun. Wang Daokun presided over the abdication of his father-in-law in Songjiang Mansion and caused a scandal. One day, Wang Daokun woke up in the morning and suddenly saw a woman beside him. Soon this matter was heard by the censor. Wang Daokun He was impeached for raping a civilian woman, and the final resolution of the matter was that Wang Daokun took this civilian woman as his concubine.
Wang Daokun didn't take anything wrong with this concubine. After the struggle between the Qing Dynasty and his father-in-law was over, this concubine was also living well.
Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were vicious and ruthless. This is not a stereotype of Sanniangzi, but the reality.
"The imperial court will never allow Anda Khan to request a gold seal." Chen Xuexue clarified his attitude after reminiscing with Sanniangzi.
"The Ming court does not allow it, but Anda Khan will still go." Sanniangzi said with certainty: "This is the fourth time he has gone to Xining. In the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth years of Jiajing and the second year of Longqing, Anda Khan went south from Hetao many times and successively defeated the Yibula tribe, Bu'erhai tribe, etc. The Ming court could not stop them even if they wanted to."
Anda Khan conquered Qinghai four times and Oala twice, and his martial arts were outstanding. If the Hexi Corridor hadn't blocked it in the middle, Qinghai and Hetao would have become one and became a serious problem in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is why the Ming Dynasty did not grant a gold seal. The Hexi Corridor is the Hexi Corridor of the Ming Dynasty." Chen Xuexue said very calmly: "Anda Khan is very powerful. In the words of your grassland, the glory of the Everlasting Sky has shined on Xining again. "
"If Anda Khan is given the golden seal of Governor-General, then the Hexi Corridor will be a passage for Anda Khan to enter at will."
Of course Chen Xuexue knew that Anda Khan was very strong. He had won repeated battles against Oara, the Rongdi in Xining, and the Ming Dynasty. The victory of the war made Anda Khan's cohesion extremely strong, but as Anda Khan's legs The disease became more serious and his personal prestige declined rapidly, which gave Sanniangzi an opportunity to take advantage of him.
"Are Anda Khan going to become a Buddhist?" Chen Xuexue suddenly asked.
"Yes." Sanniangzi's expression changed suddenly, but she still replied.
Believing in Buddhism is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Once the grassland people believe in Buddhism, they will lose their ability to attack. For example, the Liao Kingdom, a close enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, became a Buddhist country after believing in Buddhism and lost its ability to attack. Compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, it became a Buddhist country. rotten.
"The grassland believes in the Immortal Heaven. The literal translation of Genghis Khan is: He who relies on the power of the Immortal Heaven to become a Khan is chosen by the gods. As a golden family, wouldn't Anda Khan have betrayed his ancestors?" Chen Xuexue said with a smile.
"Anda Khan is a traitor on the grassland." Sanniangzi finally said helplessly.
Anda Khan was very persistent in his belief in Buddhism, which meant that Anda Khan not only betrayed the god of the grassland, but also his ancestors. The third lady also opposed it, but the stubborn Anda Khan insisted on his own way.
If the court does not grant the gold seal, Anda Khan will go to Xining. If the court gives the gold seal, Anda Khan will still go to Xining.
Sanniangzi said unwillingly: "The imperial court gave Anda Khan the golden seal, which is also good for the court. The Ming Dynasty is planning the northeast, so the northwest should be more stable. Anda Khan went to Xining smoothly, and will be responsible for the Ming Dynasty's management in the northeast. There are only advantages and no disadvantages.”
"The court meeting has already made a decision, it won't be easier." Chen Xuexue answered this question very clearly.
"What a pity." The third lady had no choice but to accept the court's decision, because the court had already made a decision, and even if it was found to be wrong, it would go all the way to the end.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was supreme, and his imperial edicts were golden words. However, in the early years of Wanli, the effectiveness of the results of the Ming Dynasty's court deliberations even exceeded the emperor's imperial edicts. Once the court deliberations were passed, it represented the highest will of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was wrong. We will continue to implement it resolutely.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by Emperor Wanli. Zhang Juzheng substantially threatened the imperial power.
Gao Gong's downfall was because he wanted to knock out the Supervisor of Ceremonies and threatened the imperial power. Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by Emperor Wanli after his death because Zhang Juzheng threatened the imperial power.
"Has the imperial meeting approved this expansion of border trade?" Sanniangzi asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhongshun is well-informed. Even in Bansheng, she got the news faster than I did." Chen Xuexue confirmed the authenticity of the news.
In the past, after the Ming Dynasty imperial meeting ended, the courtiers had not received clear information. Anda Khan in the grassland already knew what the court meeting was discussing, and the courtiers that Anda Khan knew were even more precise.
But now, this situation has changed. The news Sanniangzi received was that Chen Xuexue asked his concubine to pass it on to Sanniangzi.
"What does the court want?" Sanniang asked with a frown.
"Horses." Chen Xuexue replied with a smile: "To be precise, war horses and stallions."
"That's impossible." Sanniangzi said categorically. War horses and stallions involve the Beilu's ability to survive, which is their ability to maneuver.
Chen Xuexue stood up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I don't sell it, we can just ask Tuman Khan to buy it."
"Chen Dongqing, stay!" The third lady said in shock: "There has been military trouble in the Ming Dynasty recently, isn't it just to fight against the barbarians?"
"You can also do business during the war. There won't be any delays." Chen Xuexue left Sanniangzi's room without any nostalgia. Sanniangzi, let alone meeting His Majesty, might not be able to gain much from her visit to the capital this time.
The imperial court's expansion of border trade was to buy good horses and stallions. I replied that Khan would not sell them, so the Ming Dynasty asked the Tuman Khan to buy them.
Chen Xuexue did not leave Huitongguanyi, but found Legas, the Thai-Spanish envoy.
"When I heard the magpies chirping happily on the branches in the morning, I knew that an important guest was coming to my door. Chen Dongqing's visit really made me particularly surprised and happy." In the 1990s, he was pampered, had a stable life, and looked a little rich.
Legaz was the governor and special envoy of the Philippines appointed by Felipe II, but this governor was not in Mindanao, but in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Legaz had become accustomed to the comfortable life in the capital, and the days of fighting storms, huge waves, and natives on the sea had become strange and fearful.
The Ming Dynasty had everything, and was quite polite to Legas. If Legas were asked to choose between returning to Taipei or staying in the Ming Dynasty, Legas would definitely hesitate repeatedly.
This place was like heaven to him.
This is how admiration for friends is cultivated.
"You have learned how to speak politely to Ming scholars." Chen Xuexue motioned for Legas to sit down.
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Chen Xue Xue asked tentatively: "How do the Taixi people trade slaves with peace of mind?"
"Slander! This is slander! When did we trade slaves? We are their pilots, leading them out of their ignorant and backward life, allowing them to gain a new world, live again, and live freely!" Legas heard this With these words, he immediately broke his guard and argued very loudly.
"Yes, yes, that's what I'm here to learn!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xuexue said in great surprise: "That's it."
Legas was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this. He gritted his teeth but was helpless. As for human trafficking, Chen Xuexue must learn from the Thai people. They are always so leading in this regard.
Zhang Juzheng's trick was to allow Japanese women to be reborn, but there was a ban on allowing Japanese women to return to Japan. That is, any Japanese woman could sell herself to a Ming merchant and then marry a Ming man in the name of marriage.
The money for ransom is called betrothal gift.
Chen Xue Xue explained his purpose.
After listening to this, Ligas nodded repeatedly and said: "Isn't this great? There is no such thing as human trafficking. Where can human beings be traded? It's just that life in Japan is too difficult. In order to pursue a better life, marrying Daming, isn’t this a good story?”
"Da Ming's ability to cover up shame is already comparable to Tai Xi's."
"There are still some shortcomings." Chen Xuexue said with a solemn expression: "Then if we want to eliminate its orthodoxy and sweep away its lair, how should we cover our shame?"
Legaz thought for a moment and replied: "A limited, closed, ignorant, dark, and heavy universe was replaced by an infinite, open, civilized, perfect, and orderly universe."
"After shattering the sky and heaven, tell them they are free."
Chen Xuexue suddenly realized and said: "Oh, so, they lost everything, but they gained freedom, so good! In this regard, Taixi is indeed a master-level figure."
Freedom is a kind of rhetoric. You lose everything but gain something more important. This freedom can be fairness, justice, equality, etc., it depends on how you package and describe it.
"Are you praising or insulting?" Ligas has been in Beijing for several years and can already distinguish between good and bad words. It is obvious that Chen Xuexi is scolding people.
Chen Xuexue really knows how to learn Taixi's speaking skills and narrative style, which is a good way.
The imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty conferring the title of King Shang Yong of Ryukyu was sent to Songjiang Mansion by the coastal defense inspection. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty appointed Governor Wang Daokun of Songjiang as the envoy, Admiral Xiao Chongye of Caojiang as the deputy envoy, and Chen Lin as the general of Pingwa. He went to Ryukyu to confer the King of Ryukyu and help Ryukyu. The king pacified the Japanese.
The fleet that was consecrated this time was not just a sealing boat. There were thirteen five-masted ocean crossing ships, thirty-six three-masted plywood ships, and seventy-two four-hundred-mast battleships. The military commander The navy, with a total of more than 30,000 men and more than 3,000 guest soldiers, went to Ryukyu.
This is almost all the power that Songjiang Prefecture can use, and the eight prefectures along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian will also provide 400 materials and more than a hundred ships. They will gather at Songjiang and Ningbo Shipping Departments, waiting for news of the carrier pigeon, at any time Prepare to support the army.
April is when the trade winds are most suitable, and it only takes three days to reach Songjiang Prefecture, and this period is also the time when there are the least storms on the sea.
On April 17, Wang Daokun, Xiao Chongye, and Chen Lin gathered at the Tide Watching Tower in Xingang to prepare for tomorrow's sea voyage.
"What your Majesty means is that this time we go to Ryukyu to pacify the Japanese, but we will not pacify the Japanese either." Wang Daokun began to interpret the imperial edict.
Xiao Chongye said doubtfully: "What does it mean to be equal to Japanese and not equal to Japanese?"
"Ruping." Wang Daokun said with great conviction.
Come or not? Tathagata; equal or not? Ruping.
"Your Majesty's intention is to mainly carry out an armed parade, circle around Ryukyu, and then return directly to Songjiang Prefecture City." Chen Lin saw Xiao Chongye's confused look before explaining His Majesty's holy intention.
This trip to the sea was just an armed patrol, not a real battle. The reason was actually that the Ming Dynasty wanted to expand its influence in Ryukyu.
The King of Ryukyu is eager to get rid of the Japanese control over them, so after seeing the powerful naval power of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Ryukyu will pay more to invite the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how harsh the Ming Dynasty's conditions were, they were not as harsh as the Japanese pirates' conditions.
Will you give me a monthly pass? If given? ! Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
