During this period, they followed Lan Yu and killed many people from the Northern Dynasty. In the future, whether it was peace talks or outright defeat, there would be no good end, not to mention that they did not want to lose their glory and wealth at all.
These two are most likely from the Central Plains, which was the great empire that defeated the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. If the other party really wants to get involved in Japan, there is nothing wrong with it. It is not a good idea to serve as ministers to anyone, and how can the Celestial Empire have the energy to take care of the internal affairs of Japan?
The thing is nothing more than paying more tribute.
On this psychological basis, the nobles and the lords of major temples and feudal lords actively interacted with Tang Ding. The weak Southern Dynasty could only maintain the situation with concerted efforts. Although the emperor and the clan of the Southern Dynasty were dissatisfied, they could not punish their ministers and turn a blind eye.
Close one eye.
Or speaking of the current situation in the Southern Dynasties, the emperor and the clan may also feel that as long as they can defeat the Northern Dynasties and maintain their rule over Japan, it is okay to surrender to the original suzerainty. Hasn't this been the case since ancient times?
That's why families like Matsuura Konoe Saionji and other families will obey Tang Ding's wishes and organize manpower. As for the results of these people, they don't care at all. The low-level ronin and untouchables are really not worth mentioning, and they exist like weeds.
With these 3,000 Japanese slaves plus the Japanese pirates captured by Marquis Jinghai in Nanyang, at least there was no need to mobilize the Ming people in some dangerous places. However, the people below had to be instructed not to be as ruthless as before, and the water would flow slowly.
According to the Ministry of Industry, these Japanese pirates are fierce and unruly, and each time they are transferred to labor, at least a dozen of them must be killed before they can be brought to peace. It is recommended that they be castrated directly to remove their power and prevent them from doing other things.
It's easy to use.
This is not impossible, but it is not easy to castrate such a large number of people on a large scale, and the loss rate may be very high, but as a method of punishment and deterrence, it is expected to be more effective than direct killing.
"Your Highness, I have also learned that Japan seems to have sent several waves of envoys to Goryeo to open the capital. They may want to inquire about the situation of our country, the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao responded indifferently, "The Eastern and Northern Dynasties are not fools. The Southern Dynasty, which knows the basics, how could they not pry when two Tai Sui demons suddenly appeared? There are countless factions among the nobles of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and they can't hide anything."
As for why we did not directly send envoys to the DPRK, we have to mention that a few years ago, Lao Zhu sent envoys to Japan due to the Japanese pirates. It was originally a very simple matter, but there was no one in Japan who could really make the decision, and the envoys did not understand it either.
The situation can only be dispersed and each side goes to one side.
As a result, we received various responses. The shogunate of the Northern Dynasty excused him on the grounds that "the Japanese pirates were committed by Kyushu pirates, and the Japanese court did not know about it at all." Prince Lianghuai of the Southern Dynasty even directly restrained the envoy, the feudal lord Fujiwara.
The head of the family and the head of the Kikuchi family both directly sent the envoys out...
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and Japan had had little contact with the Central Plains since the Yuan Dynasty. They were also busy with civil wars, so they probably regarded the so-called Ming Dynasty as a local force occupying the southeastern coast and did not pay much attention to it.
The angry Lao Zhu sent another envoy with his handwritten letter, which said: "The Japanese soldiers invaded the seaside in large numbers, and they left their wives and harmed their lives. Therefore, I compiled a letter to report the orthodox incident, and also ordered the Japanese soldiers to cross the border."
On the day when the edict is issued, if you are a minister, you will come to the court with a request; if you are not a minister, you will prepare troops to consolidate yourself and secure the territory forever to cope with the rest of the day. If you are a bandit, I will order the navy commander to sail to the islands and capture them.
Kill his disciples and lead them to his country, and tie his king to prostrate himself in front of the court!"
However, this letter of credence was blocked by Zhu Biao. Firstly, Japan was in political chaos, and the disunified regime did not have an official force that could represent the whole of Japan. Communication with it was completely in vain.
At the time when the Ming Dynasty was first established, the Ming Dynasty had not yet conquered the world. People's livelihood was difficult and many things were in ruins. There were remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, Liaoning, east and west. Even if Japan really acted disrespectfully, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't spare the time to cross the sea to conquer it.
But it is different now. Although it is still not possible to raise troops to attack Japan, after the recovery of Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty can control Korea to a higher level. With Korea as a springboard and vanguard, and Tang Dinglan who has gradually gained a firm foothold.
Jade, coupled with the confrontation between the north and the south of Japan, everything is promising.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and decided that he still had to support the Southern Dynasty and help the weak to resist the strong in order to obtain the greatest benefits and ensure that the development of the situation would not be out of control.
"Inform the Goryeo side and let Jiang Side meet the envoys from the Eastern and Southern Dynasties. The Goryeo family must find a buyer after greedy so much military supplies and grain."
"promise."
Japan lacked everything, but gold and silver had been abundant since ancient times. The Shang Chronicle of the Song Dynasty recorded that "Japanese barbarian merchants only used gold and silver to barter, not like the Western Tibetan trade with goods."
Business must be circulated. People in the Ming Dynasty were short of food, but the accumulation of hundreds of years by aristocratic families and business gangs since the Song and Yuan Dynasties is no joke. No matter how the times change, no matter how poor the poor can become, there will always be wealth when there is poverty.
Zhu Biao would not take it by force, but he also did not want them to stay motionless like old hens guarding their golden eggs. Otherwise, what would he be doing by having Marquis Jinghai sweep the sea area and Marquis Jiangyin organize and build a fleet?
The main reason why the Song Dynasty was weak and lasted for more than 300 years was because its commerce was prosperous and there was abundant money and food. As long as the court had money and food, as long as it was not destroyed in an instant, it could reorganize its army at any time and survive even at the expense of a large number of lives.
.
The combat effectiveness of the Song soldiers was not good, but the scale was no joke. Even at the time of the most peace-loving Song Renzong, his regular army had reached more than 1.2 million.
It is a pity that the Song Dynasty was not congenitally deficient and did not have the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to defend it. Otherwise, it should have been more glorious and splendid. It is expected that it would not be weaker than the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
According to the original trajectory, the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were two extremes. The Ming Dynasty was poor, and it was poor from the beginning of the founding of the country to the end of the dynasty. Of course, it was not that the country was poor, but that the court was poor and the emperor was poor...
In addition to the relationship between natural and man-made disasters, this is basically an economic tree that has been crooked since the founding of the People's Republic of China...
After Shang Honghai retreated, Zhu Biao picked up the memorial beside him, which belonged to Xu Yungong. As the crown prince of Zhongshan, and with Zhu Biao's favor, he was now a fourth-rank Mingwei general and had the right to directly submit the memorial.
As long as he made meritorious service in the Conquest of the South this time, it would not be surprising to be directly promoted to the third rank. If Chang Yuchun and other princes in the army could not bear to be dissatisfied, then Xu Da could be regarded as a being who was convinced by all three armies.
As the eldest son of Xu Shuai, Xu Yungong can still do well in the army even if he is a idiot. Moreover, his ability and character are extremely outstanding. In addition, the coach this time is Tang He. It is estimated that he would rather not have it himself than give it to the big man.
My nephew’s arrangement is clear.
Xu Yungong's handwriting was very neat, and he felt that his words were like his own person. Zhu Biao had not seen him for a long time, and he missed him a little. He might have brought some rewards with him when Chang Mao went south.
Now there are many women in Zhu Biaodong Palace, and I don’t know what his father was thinking when he was on his way to the north. He actually had selected the daughters of several local officials for him, and they were all coming to the capital one after another...
To be honest, it would be hard to feel happy if there were a few more beauties and beauties like Zhu Biao, but it would be different if there were a few more outstanding confidants, civil servants and generals. Just thinking about it makes it clear.
In the memorial, Xu Yungong described his thoughts on the battle to recover Yunnan, and even gave suggestions on how to garrison troops after the recovery. This shows that he understood why the prince specially transferred him from northern Xinjiang.
Just when Zhu Biao started to write the reply, the eunuch on duty at the entrance of the palace walked into the palace timidly. When Liu Jin saw that His Highness frowned, he immediately reprimanded the man: "Asshole! The rules made you eat into the dog's belly.
?What kind of place is this? If something happens, you should make a loud announcement before entering. How can you be sneaky?"
The eunuch's legs weakened and he knelt down: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, Zhao Chenghui personally sent it to him and made it with his own hands..."
Zhu Biao raised his head slightly, with a slight doubt in his eyes. Who did Zhao Chengwei come from? The one with a very thin waist? The one with a small but big stature? Or the one with a delicate body?
