Emperor Hongzhi only remembered the paper in the weekly journal, but this thing was just a curiosity, just look at it, and you wouldn't think about it in depth. After all, these things are too far away.

At this time, Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile and said, "But does Your Majesty still remember that when Xu Jing returned to the voyage, he reported that the two uncles led the fleet to continue traveling west? Now... after they bypassed the Golden Continent and continued to travel west, they arrived in Japan more than a month ago..."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately took a breath of cold air and said in surprise: "You can even return to the origin by sailing on a boat."

"Your Majesty, I'm not saying that there is a ball under your feet."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time before he realized the problem and couldn't help but smile: "I am a little confused, please continue talking."

Fang Jifan continued: "Since that's the case, then my son has calculated that if the Zhang brothers are still alive, they must come back at this time. This time they will be at the end of their lives and pass through Japan..."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and then widened his eyes: "What do you mean are those pirates, are the Zhang brothers?"

Fang Jifan Zheng said with a key point: "It must be them. The Japanese are rampant in the southeast. What they rely on is a group of sea refugees who are fearless and fearless. These people have no livelihood and have long put life and death aside, and are extremely cruel. But... Your Majesty, some of their Japanese are refugees in the sea, but they don't know that many of them are refugees in the Ming Dynasty. My sons can proudly say that our Ming Dynasty refugees are not richer than these damn Japanese pirates. If they are anxious, they will never be cruel to the Japanese pirates, and they will be less."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

His mood was very complicated and he could no longer tell whether he was a compliment or a scolding.

"You mean, the problem of Japanese pirates has been solved?"

Fang Jifan said: "More than half of it has been solved. Your Majesty once ordered me to solve the problem of Japanese pirates within one year. Now... I'm so kind to say that there will be no Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty within half a year. Not only that, I will also solve the problem of Japanese people once and for all."

In fact, what Emperor Hongzhi wanted was the result. It was not that he was not interested in the process, but that he found that this process... was so... it was becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

He looked down at the map. The world on the map was round, which surpassed his previous cognition.

He couldn't understand even more that the fleet that started from Tianjin Wei finally appeared in Japan.

Of course... what he was even more incredible was how could the two useless brothers of the Zhang family, coupled with a group of sailors at sea, burst out with such a powerful combat power?

Emperor Hongzhi looked up at Fang Jifan: "What will happen next for the Qing family?"

Fang Jifan seemed to have already decided and said without hesitation: "Help the Japanese to combat the thieves, Ningbo Navy, as originally planned, will arrive in Japan next month."

“…”

Fang Jifan continued: "Since we have helped them to combat the thieves, naturally, someone must support such a large fleet. If the Japanese don't pay some money, would they be embarrassed? It's a bad thing to be polite to come and not to deal with each other. My son-in-law thinks that the Japanese will definitely pay the money."

“…”

"In this way, the Ningbo Navy, in order to pacify the pirates, can station in Japan. Erchen has seen the map. Zhou Fang is a good place. It is across the sea from North Korea and is also a passage for the Ming Dynasty to travel through the Pacific Ocean. If we set up a stronghold for the Japanese guards here, it will not only be conducive to sea trade, but also will be of great benefit to the future Ming Dynasty sailing from west to east, that is, to... go east to Golden Continent to find more routes."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't it be a robbery?"

"Your Majesty... the Japanese will definitely welcome us. After all... Without the Ningbo Navy, the pirates that will rage in the future will be enough to make everyone scared. Those pirates are used to killing people without blinking, burning, killing, and looting. And our Ningbo Navy has strict discipline and is a majestic and mighty army."

"In addition, in order to eliminate the previous rift between the Ming and Japan, my sons thought that the Ming and Japan should deepen exchanges. It is better for Your Majesty to invite the country's famous name and the children of the nobles, especially the eldest son, to come to the Ming Dynasty, to study or to exchange here."

"This..." Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows. This guy had an old problem again. What the hell is trying to mess with? Why do you think... it seems that there are some conspiracies.

But Emperor Hongzhi did not seem to understand Fang Jifan, who was a sentimental person.

Liu Jian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say, "Master Fang, is it that he asked the Japanese to mortgage the proton?"

Fang Jifan coughed and said, "You might as well call it ", attract each other and love each other."

Emperor Hongzhi said uncertainly: "Are they willing to come?"

"Whoever refuses to come will not protect him!" Fang Jifan said with a confident look on his face and smiled: "The terrain of Japan is narrow and long, and any place is among the attacks of pirates, and no one can escape."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan deeply, feeling that Fang Jifan seemed to be having some ideas.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that I was overly worried. Before that, wasn’t I still suspected that Fang Jifan colluded with Da Nei Yiyan because he received the gift from Da Nei Yiyan?

Fang Jifan... After all, he is a person who thinks about the Ming Dynasty everywhere.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

"My son thinks that it is not just Japan, but North Korea. The two nobles of the two classes can be like this. There are also Uszang, other vassal states, etc. Although our Ming Dynasty had a tribute system, it was only dealing with small courts of various countries. If we do not communicate with the nobles of various countries, it is inevitable that they will be disunited. It is better for Your Majesty to issue an edict to invite the children of nobles of various countries to Beijing."

This is not a trivial matter. Emperor Hongzhi still seemed hesitant and looked at Liu Jian.

I'm afraid no one here knows the benefits of the proton strategy best than Liu Jian.

For example... my son got on the boat of this dog named Fang, wasn't he afraid of being a mouse?

Liu Jian sighed and said, "Since your Majesty ordered Fang Jifan to fully deal with the affairs of the Japanese state, you might as well trust Fang Duwei."

Since Liu Jian said so, Emperor Hongzhi's doubts were less, and he nodded...
