Chapter 306 Dad has been thinking about the Japanese gold and silver mines for a long time
"After Fujiwara returns to Japan, his country also needs someone to meet the emperor of that country and express his country's willingness to reconcile with him."
"Therefore, in the month when Fujiwara returns, sir, would you condescend to accompany him as an envoy to Japan?" Zhu Su asked Gao Qi.
Everyone present was stunned, and Gao Qi's expression froze. He frowned and thought for a while, and solemnly asked: "Do you want to reconcile with the Japanese country? Or not..."
"He has the intention of opening up territory in the Ming Dynasty to the east...?"
When it came to "opening up frontiers and expanding territory", Zhu Di couldn't help but straighten up. The others also didn't immediately walk away. Zhu Su secretly praised in his heart, nodded frankly and said: "Yes, he will bring the Japanese country under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty
, Only then can the Japanese plague be eradicated from its roots forever.”
"For this reason, the emperor must be instigated to ask for help from his Ming Dynasty, so that his Ming Dynasty's legitimate condemnation army can be stationed... But Fujiwara is arrogant and talentless, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on a big job..."
"Is that what the master meant? No..."
"What does Bidong mean?"
Gao Qi got the idea in one sentence.
Zhu Su was silent for a moment, and then he said honestly: "No, then I made a temporary decision after meeting Fujiwara."
"Prior to Bu Nao, I had proposed to my father to open up frontiers to Japan... My father also had this intention."
"Hahahaha. Is that really so?" Gao Qi smiled freely, but Zhu Su's heart froze. Deep down in his heart, that celebrity was so proud that he resigned without even doing what Lao Zhu had given him in the past month.
It's fun to make mistakes.
If he didn't respect his "copied" reputation in the literary world, such a celebrity might not even help deceive Fujiwara.
But it is not very necessary to send a useful person to the Japanese country. Someone must understand the external political situation and the distribution of forces in the Japanese country, and judge the opportunity to instigate the emperor, so as to prompt the emperor to report to the Japanese country at the most appropriate occasion.
The Ming Dynasty asked for reinforcements. The time could not be too early or too late. If it was too early, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to free up its own legs, and it would not be able to cross the ocean; if it was too late, the defeat of the Japanese emperor in the Southern Dynasty would have been determined, and even if the Ming army went, there would be no chance.
Coco is locked in a tug-of-war with the Ashikaga Shogunate, which has unified all the forces of Japan.
Zhu Su thought about it for a long time, whether Gao Qi was the most suitable candidate. Firstly, Gao Qi was not a famous person, and the Japanese aristocrats admired such heavenly figures the most. Even if he did not rely on Fujiwara, Gao Qi was very likely to be like a fish in water in the Japanese country with his talents.
Secondly, Gao Qi already had a certain friendship with Fujiwara, so it would be most suitable for him to go to Japan to "control" Fujiwara.
But that would not be a rejection of the emperor's order after all, it would just be a rejection of his own request. There is nothing wrong with Gao Qi not agreeing...
"The master of the palace really has great ambitions! He actually wants to devour the Japanese kingdom! It makes me feel the legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Zhu Su was worrying about gains and losses, but Gao Qi clapped his hands on the table and praised him. "If the master of the palace has this ambition, why should Qi cherish it?"
Although the mountains and rivers are high and the rivers are far away when I go to Japan, it is my duty to go to Japan."
He winked at Zhu Su and said, "Don't you know, my master, that I admire Ban Dingyuan's achievements the most in my life?"
Ban Dingyuan was known as Ban Chao of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As an ordinary envoy, he made great achievements in conquering more than 50 countries in the Western Regions. In his life, he established unparalleled martial arts as a civil servant. He was first known in history and praised forever.
, can be called a legend.
Gao Qi actually aspired to be Banchao of the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Su was overjoyed. Over there, Ru Taisu, who was also a scholar, Wei Guan and others frowned after hearing this. Ru Taisu said: "Is there something wrong in the East of the Five Halls?
Too high a goal? The Japanese country is a barbarian land. Taking it will waste people and money, and there are nuclear concubines.
"Hey, I'm too rigid." Gao Qi had friendship with Ru Taisu and other literati. Zhu Su didn't shut up. When he heard this, he laughed and said: "Ming Zai has always been considerate of the people, and he has always been considerate of military affairs.
It’s safe. If it wastes people and money, do I need to worry about it?”
"If we can control the Japanese country with a partial army and suppress the Japanese troubles, how can we say that it is useless? Besides, even if he can't send out troops in the Ming Dynasty, the worst he can do is come back. It's just an idle move by the east of the palace, so why should he make the mistake?
"
As soon as this statement came out, Ru Taisu and other conservative civil servants could not deny it. Indeed, when Mingsheng was caring about the people, it was well known to everyone. If it was really a waste of people and money, he would not allow it.
Since there are saints watching over us, what is there to worry about?
Zhu Su was extremely satisfied with Gao Qi. He thought that Gao Qi's crazy attitude of quitting his job at every turn was even more to his liking. Among those who behave wildly, who doesn't have his own lofty ideals in his heart?
Well, that point can be put to good use. If we encounter such literati again in the future, we can guide their ambitions and use them to resist and neutralize the conservative faction in the court...
The tide of history is overwhelming. If you miss that opportunity, once the Chinese nation expands its territory, you may not be able to wait for thousands of years!
…
After settling the matter of Dong Gao Qiyue and Fujiwara going to the Japanese country, everyone dispersed. Most people regarded Zhu Su's "expanding the Japanese country" as a temporary strategy, and did not pay much attention to it.
Su Ze has already planned which troops to take out to sea. This trip to sea to rescue the people of the Ming Dynasty who were kidnapped by Japanese pirates can also be used as a touchstone to test whether Fujiwara sincerely returns to the Han Dynasty: if he is serious about the Ming Dynasty, he will serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly.
The military should be a good "party that leads the way".
As the small leader of the Japanese pirates in Oida in the past, did he know where the lairs of other Japanese pirates were hidden? If he could wholeheartedly assist the Ming army in suppressing the Japanese, it would be enough to prove that he had truly and legitimately become the queen of China.
people.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Zhu Di was still walking on the chair and lingering on the bed. Zhu Su asked strangely: "Fourth brother? What's wrong with me? Do you have anything to say to him alone?"
"Lao Wu." Zhu Di came over as expected. "You want to open up the Japanese country. As I said before, do you want to make the Japanese country the first stop for their brothers to establish a vassal overseas?"
"Let me tell him secretly, what are the benefits of the Japanese country? Is it worth my trouble?"
Zhu Di had already known Zhu Su's origins, and naturally guessed that Zhu Su's calculations must not only be about "eternal peace of the Japanese pirates". However, the Japanese land was poor and harsh, and Zhu Di really couldn't think of anything good about that place, so
I specially waited for everyone to leave and looked for an opportunity to have a good time.
"Uh..." Zhu Su laughed for a moment. Zhu Di might have used his knowledge of his origins to predict and choose a fiefdom he wanted.
In fact, he wanted to destroy the Japanese country so much, and there was no reason for the hatred between the country and the family in later generations. But it was a long story to tell Zhu Di about it, so he said: "He told me, I don't want to tell them.
"
"Actually, there are countless gold and silver mines outside of Japan!"
"Gold and silver mine!" Zhu Di was shocked. "Isn't that just money?"
He immediately realized, what is the most expensive thing in war? Money!
Food can be bought with money, soldiers can be recruited with money, and people can be cared for with money... In a nutshell, as long as you have money, you can fight to the ends of the earth!
"Lao Wu! He begged for that fief!" Zhu Di's eyes had turned into the shape of copper coins. "I don't want to fight with him! When the time comes, we will send troops to the Japanese country, and he, Zhu Di, will be the first!"
Zhu Su didn't know what he was thinking. Ever since he told him about Alexander the Great, he had been holding back his energy and wanted to compete with the great Western emperor from the pre-Qin period.
But Zhu Su said that "Emperor Yongle" was not good at logistics and foreign affairs, and he did get a headache when he saw things like food and grass dispatching. He didn't plan to marry in that life, so naturally he couldn't give birth to a fat man who could work.
His son helps him organize logistics.
Therefore, during those months, that fellow was intently scouting the surrounding barbarians, preparing to find a wealthy barbarian to "rob him", and then use the barbarian country as a fiefdom, use its wealth as military resources, and fight all the way to the west.
, and didn’t stop until they reached the hometown of the great emperor who was under great pressure.
Now that he has heard that Japan has a lot of gold and silver, how can he stop?
"Fourth Brother, let me not worry about the gold and silver mine," said Zhu Su. "Why don't I think he told the literati about it? The Ministry of Household Affairs is very short of silver now. If they didn't know that Japan has gold and silver, it would be very embarrassing.
Is your son encouraging your father to rush eastward?"
"It's hard to guard against others. Those gold and silver are of use to me! Isn't there a picture of the universe and the kingdoms hanging in the Jinshen Palace? The old man drools all day long, just staring at the picture of the Japanese kingdom.
…”
"I'm sure the old man's legs are still there for the gold and silver mine. I won't think about it anymore!"
Since Zhu Su wronged Lao Zhu and Chen Ming's treasure banknotes, Lao Zhu stopped the excessive issuance of treasure banknotes. However, the economic problems of the Ming Dynasty were already very serious, and the money circulating in the market was extremely insufficient. In a few years, it will be difficult to
It has reached a point where it is impossible not to issue money.
The gold and silver mines in the Japanese country are not the "gold reserves" that Lao Zhu allocated to the Ming Dynasty Baoqian. With the almost endless gold and silver in the Japanese country as insurance, the Ming Dynasty Baoqian will no longer be in danger of collapse.
