Chapter 516 What the son-in-law is playing is excitement
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang received the secret letter, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
Although he designated Japan as a country without conquests when he founded the country, it did not mean that he could tolerate the Japanese jumping up and down.
In order to maintain the face of his father-in-law, Yue Lin put in a lot of effort.
Among them was the plan to conduct conquests in the name of pirates from the Central Plains.
When the Satsuma Domain was conquered, the Japanese envoy Ashikaga Yoshiken was already obviously anxious.
In the past few days, I have been traveling continuously to visit all the important officials of the imperial court.
Unfortunately, before the emperor's attitude was determined, even Hu Weiyong, who was close to the Japanese, simply chose to stay behind closed doors.
Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Liu Bowen and others directly rejected the Japanese.
Once upon a time, there was an opportunity for peace before the Japanese, but it was a pity that these Japanese slaves did not cherish it.
It was not until the homeland was attacked that I regretted it, but it was a pity that there was no what if.
It’s just the news of today’s secret letter that makes Zhu Yuanzhang even more excited!
"Yue Lin actually captured Kyoto, and even captured the King of Japan, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
The Ming Dynasty itself has not suffered from the war. Its neighbor to the north, Beiyuan, is still fighting internally and has no time to invade the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, the Central Plains is now prosperous, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, recuperating and recuperating.
The taxes imposed by the imperial court were not heavy, especially since Zhu Yuanzhang was not an emperor who coveted mausoleums, so the taxes were greatly reduced.
"Father, what is it that makes you so happy?"
Zhu Biao peeked from the side and already understood some of the situation, but he still couldn't help but be curious.
Zhu Yuanzhang put away the secret letter and said with a chuckle: "Mao Xiang, let the other princes come over, we want to study it carefully!"
Zhu Biao was not unhappy, he now paid more attention to his relationships with his brothers.
For the sake of the country and the country, the brothers would rather abandon the life of Jinling and go to the border to guard the border. As the eldest brother, he must consider them even more.
In a short time, King Zhu Chen of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, fifth prince Zhu Ji and others all arrived.
"If our country captures Japan's Kyoto, what do you mean to do with Japan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly at the princes, he wanted to know what they were thinking.
Zhu Biao bowed and saluted. As the prince, he naturally had to be the first to answer.
"Reporting to my father, I believe that this barbarian land should be educated and civilized. We can keep the emperor in our Ming Dynasty to end his faith."
"Use Confucianism as the essence again to make them change their ways."
"It won't be too late to release the Emperor after the civilization of the Japanese people is completed."
Zhu Biao still adheres to the principles of the Holy Lord and the Mingjun, focusing on benevolence and righteousness, and does not talk about decisive killings throughout the article.
"Well! Ping'er, it's your turn to say it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not make any comments, but asked Qin Wang Zhu Chen to continue.
"Father! Of course I will kill them all! Didn't my brother-in-law say that the Japanese are a serious problem in our Central Plains!"
"As the saying goes, solve the problem at the root and kill them. Wouldn't it mean that there would be no worries?"
After hearing what Zhu Xi said, everyone took a deep breath.
"Second brother! You can't do this! How innocent are the people? With your behavior, aren't you going to make the Japanese people perish?"
Seeing his eldest brother Zhu Biao's face showing displeasure, King Zhu Fan of Jin quickly opened his mouth to smooth things over.
"Eldest brother is right! Second brother, you are too extreme in what you do! How can you kill them all?"
"If you ask me, you can keep the women and children! Intermarriage with our Ming men will also solve the problem of many men being single!"
"By the way, this can not only remove the threat, but also keep the blood of the Japanese clan alive!"
Zhu Fan felt complacent in his heart and said to himself: "As expected of me, I have considered it so carefully!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly. These two sons were thinking too hastily!
"Fourth! Tell me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yan King Zhu Di with a hint of expectation.
As he grows older, Zhu Di becomes more and more like him.
"Back to my father, neither the emperor nor the shogun can leave the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became serious, and Zhu Di continued: "Japan is different from the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. The emperor is more like a decoration like an abbot."
"The shogun is the one who holds the real power! If, as my elder brother said, the shogun is let go, Japan will become stronger without the emperor's constraints."
"We, the Ming Dynasty, want to control their thoughts, and we also want to break the foundation of the shogunate's rule!"
Hearing this, even Zhu Biao was attracted by Zhu Di's words and couldn't help but encourage him: "What my brother said is good, keep talking!"
With the encouragement of his eldest brother, Zhu Di happily said: "Brother-in-law once said that political power comes from swords, guns and sticks!"
"Without the martial arts family based on the shogunate, the martial spirit of the Japanese people will decline."
"The Ming Dynasty can station troops and turn Japan into another province of the Ming Dynasty in the name of protection!"
"What's more, without the jurisdiction of the shogunate, Japan will inevitably fall into chaos, and the people will actively seek a court that can take care of things!"
Zhu Di's words made Zhu Yuanzhang take another high look.
"The fourth child has a delicate mind, considers things comprehensively, and is unscrupulous. Yin and Yang go hand in hand. He has the same idea as me."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! What the fourth child said is right. As for the fifth child, forget it. We don't plan to enfeoff you to the frontier."
Zhu Yuanzhang had long heard that the fifth prince Zhu Ji was determined to practice medicine, but now he only supports it.
Zhu Di took a deep breath and felt even more grateful to Yue Lin and Dao Yan.
The political system of Japan was all described by Yue Lin, so he was one step ahead and understood the importance of retaining the shogun better than Zhu Biao.
As for Monk Daoyan, he took the parallelism of yin and yang to the extreme, and his idea of garrisoning troops was exactly the same as Yue Lin garrisoning and occupying the city.
If the Ming Dynasty can successfully garrison troops, Japan will no longer have its own armed forces. How can it threaten the Ming Dynasty?
"You guys gave good answers."
“We are very satisfied!”
"Come here, order Xu Da to come to see us. You guys can go back!"
Xu Da received the order and did not dare to neglect it, and soon came to Wuying Hall.
"Xuda, a humble minister, pays homage to the emperor!"
"There is no need to be polite for virtue!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and told Xu Da everything about Yue Lin's capture of Kyoto.
Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty was very excited when he heard about this.
"The Prince Consort is really talented! He actually captured Kyoto!"
"Wei Chen believes that if a strong army is stationed to guard Japan, Japanese pirates will be completely eliminated!"
"From now on, there should be no private soldiers in Japan! I, the Ming Dynasty, will be responsible for security!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of admiration and he smiled and said: "We think so too! So you have to prepare a large army and station it in Weihaiwei!"
Chapter completed!
