However, I could not agree to Dong Changyuan's request easily.
"It is of great importance. I will report it to the emperor and wait for the emperor to inform him."
Dong Changyuan seemed to see hope and hurriedly said: "The meaning of humble pirate is to ask your country to help Japan eliminate the bandits in order to meet the friendship between the two countries. As for the Japanese nuisance, the country must cooperate with each other. If there are Japanese pirates on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, even if they kill only one Ming people, humble pirates will be punished and killed."
When Zhu Qiyu saw that people said that this was worthwhile, he had to say: "The Ming and Japanese countries are wearing water, and your country is in trouble. How can I stand by and watch in the Ming Dynasty? Let's do this. I will immediately write this matter into a memorial and submit it to Nanjing!"
Dong Changyuan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the situation is urgent. Can you allow Hu Zi to go with you? After you get the emperor's will, you can inform the news to Ashikaga as soon as possible!"
He no longer cares whether the attacker was the Ming army or not. Judging from this, as long as the Ming Dynasty speaks, the matter can be solved.
However, he was too anxious because one day later, the Japanese mainland might suffer another attack.
Can't wait!
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to say, "Okay, tomorrow morning, 600 miles will be sent to Nanjing. Are you... OK?"
Dong Changyuan touched his butt and said, "I am injured in my body, but another messenger of the country, Toyama Yuki is in Honglu Temple, and he can follow him."
The matter was decided, Dong Changyuan said goodbye and left, and returned to Honglu Temple to talk to Toyama to visit Nanjing tomorrow.
In Wenhua Palace, Zhu Qiyu was still confused and asked, "What's the situation?"
Cao Nai and Kuang Shi shook their heads one after another, saying they were unaware of the situation.
Only Zhu Ji seemed to know something, but he was a little confused.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu asked, "Zhu Ji, tell me, what's going on?"
"this……"
Zhu Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "The lower official knows a little, but I'm not sure..."
Kuang Teng couldn't help asking: "What do you know? Just say it, but no one blames you if you say it wrong!"
Zhu Ji had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, two sirs, do you still remember...Shi Heng?"
…………
The next morning, he took a quick horse with a speeding six hundred miles away from the capital and headed south.
I finally arrived in Nanjing after changing horses and not changing people along the way.
Toyama Yu was so tired that he felt like he was falling apart, and there was no bone that belonged to him.
However, thinking that the Japanese people were in dire straits, they had to force themselves and follow the messenger to the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
Just three days ago, Zhu Qizhen had just received a gift.
It was sent back by Shi Heng, an iron box containing several letters.
There is no need for translation at all, you can roughly understand that after unifying the four islands of Japan, Yoshimasato of Japan was already planning to attack the Ming Dynasty!
When Zhu Qizhen saw these letters, he was not surprised, he was just amused.
What kind of cat and dog dare to covet the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty?
He had already made plans in his mind that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty and Japan to get along well with each other.
For such a wolf-like ambition, it is not familiar with feeding. The only solution is to beat him up and hurt him so that he dare not look at you directly. Whenever he sees you, he will bow down and kneel down and call him dad!
Let Shi Heng continue to harass him first. I think that Japan will send a messenger to ask for help soon.
Sure enough, just three days later, Toyama Yu arrived.
"I am here to visit the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Long live the Emperor of the Emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter when I visit the Ming Dynasty?"
Toyama Yu hurriedly said the attack on Japan. His Chinese language is not as good as Dongchangyuan. It speaks stumble and does not make any verbal words. Fortunately, it can make the meaning clear.
Zhu Qizhen had an idea in his mind, so he replied: "What do you mean is that I want me to send troops to help you fight the bandits?"
"That's exactly what it means!"
At this time, Yu Qian beside Zhu Qizhen said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be cautious!"
"This...this adult..."
Toyama Yu did not recognize Yu Qian, so he had to bow first and then said: "The Ming Dynasty and Japan are friendly countries. Now that Japan is in trouble, the Ming Dynasty cannot ignore it!"
He knew in his heart that this was not a matter of sending troops at all, but to take back your troops!
The weapons taken by those thieves are clearly the new firearms of your Ming Dynasty. What are you equipped with?
Yu Qian said: "The matter is still unclear. You said that Japan was attacked. Who attacked? Did you, Japan, attack others first? Now they are taking revenge. If these matters are not clear, the Ming Dynasty should not act rashly."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "What the Qing family said makes sense. If the provocation of Japan was the first, and now the two countries are fighting, the Ming Dynasty, as a country above the Celestial Empire, should focus on mediation and should not use weapons lightly."
Toyama Yu is almost crazy. It’s yours. What are you pretending to be?
"Your Majesty the Emperor clearly understands that it is a group of pirates... It is Japanese pirates, yes, it is Japanese pirates. They dare not attack the Ming Dynasty again, so they turned to attack Japan and asked His Majesty the Emperor to take charge!"
Zhu Qizhen pretended to think about it and said, "Let's do this, send someone to check it first. Who attacked Japan and then make a decision after the matter is clear!"
"Your Majesty, it's too late. The thieves come and go like the wind. If they didn't make plans early, I'm afraid the losses of Japan..."
Zhu Qizhen was secretly funny. What does your losses have to do with me?
"Since that's the case, well... let's do it, how can I calculate the calculation first."
"What's the account?"
Toyama was a little surprised. Didn’t you say that you should send troops? Why do you still have to settle the score?
Suddenly, he became nervous. Could it be that he wanted to settle the score with us because of the Japanese pirates?
Zhu Qizhen smiled calmly and said, "It's okay to send troops, but what about this cost... Yu Qian, aren't you arithmetic? You can calculate it. If I send 5,000 navy troops to fight to help the Japanese suppress the bandits, how much money and food will be needed?"
Yu Qian also cooperated and said, "The army went to war, and each soldier had about five stones of food per month. According to the five thousand soldiers, it was about twenty-five thousand stones of food per month, which was equivalent to five thousand taels of silver. Going to sea also required treasure ships. The cost of a treasure ship was about five thousand taels of silver, and five thousand people needed at least ten ships, which was fifty thousand taels of food, drink, defecation, and every month..."
Toyama suddenly felt his heart beat suddenly accelerated. Is this aid, or... a robbery?
