Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Shen Hao nodded and said: "It's very easy for you to see them, no matter whether you let them come to Kyushu Island or you go to the capital of Wa Kingdom, it's only a few days."

Li Chengyan said: "I'd better go to the capital. After all, I still have to do business with them. It's really unreasonable to always toss our big money back and forth."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengyan thought of his two students again, and simply said to Shen Hao: "By the way, you have to send me some people."

Shen Hao, who had regained his lazy look once again, sneered and said: "It is said that the bolder you are, the younger you are. Originally, I didn't take this sentence seriously, but now it seems that it is true."

Pointing out the window of the carriage, Shen Hao continued: "Look out the window, look at these people you brought, don't they still not guarantee your safety? Do you still need the Governor's Mansion to send someone?

You are thinking too much, buddy, here is Kyushu Island, and to the north is the country of Wa, regardless of whether it is Kyushu Island or the country of Wa, your attire as a Ming official is enough to guarantee your safety, even those Japanese daimyos who are dissatisfied with Daming, they I have no guts to attack you. "

Li Chengyan smiled and said: "You are the one who thinks too much. It's not my own problem, it's my two students.

I plan to let them take a walk among the people of the country of Wa, one is to see the customs of the country of Wa, and the other is to see the difference between the country of Wa and my Ming Dynasty.

Presumably you also know that just relying on the things taught in books and classrooms can only give them an impression, but it is not as intuitive as seeing it yourself. "

Shen Hao looked Li Chengyan up and down, and said with a smile: "Why, are you planning to find two successors?"

Li Chengyan twisted a strand of hair behind him, and said with a wry smile: "Look, our brothers are not too young, how many more years can we serve for His Majesty? Even if we can keep up with the spirit, the body is not enough." Allowed.

I'm not like you. Back then you made a big commotion in the capital, and the legal school line was revived because of you. Even if you have no successors in the future, the legal school apprentices will respect you.

I can't do it anymore. The Strategists are no match for the Legalists, and I am no match for you. There are still too few students in Beijing University who are willing to join the Strategists.

If you don't pick some good successors now, and pass on the knowledge of the Strategist, what's the use of being respected as a plum in the future?I always have no face to meet the sages.

The two children, Di Mu and Mo Yanbai, are both excellent in terms of talent and attitude. If you pass on this knowledge to the two of them, it won't just be buried. "

Shen Hao straightened his body, adjusted his clothes, and said solemnly: "You have chosen an extremely difficult path, but what is rare is that you have persisted and passed on the knowledge of the sages. This alone , I would be much worse off, now replace wine with tea, please!"

After Li Chengyan also drank the tea in the cup, he said with a smile: "Let's continue what we said earlier, you send me some people to protect my two students."

Shen Hao nodded and said: "I sent a Baihusuo under the Governor's Mansion to follow them, and I can assure you that no matter what they did in Japan or what kind of situation they encountered, as long as the Baihusuo returned With only one person left, they can return to Daming safely!"

Li Chengyan smiled and waved his hands: "Don't make the atmosphere so dignified, it seems like I'm talking about a will."

After laughing a few times, Li Chengyan continued: "Besides, there are other things that I need to ask for your help."

Shen Hao nodded, motioning for Li Chengyan to continue.

Li Chengyan continued: "I'm going to see Zhengren and Tokugawa Iemitsu. On the surface, it's not easy to get in touch with the remaining Japanese daimyos, but I have to ask you to help me contact them secretly."

Shen Hao asked curiously: "Didn't you just say that you want Zhengren and Tokugawa Iemitsu to end the chaos in Japan as soon as possible? What's the matter now?"

Li Chengyan said: "Hurry up, but it's not about letting them end the chaos smoothly, that's not in my Da Ming's interest.

Presumably you also know what Daming needs now.

If the chaos in the Wa country ends too early, those supervisors will be fine. Who will sell the eliminated arms and weapons to?

The European savages are about to beat people's brains into dog's brains. Although they consume a lot of ammunition, they all belong to the earlier generation. There is no place to deal with the old ammunition now. "

Shen Hao asked in surprise, "Have you sold the latest arms to European barbarians?"

Li Chengyan spit out a sip of tea: "How is it possible! Who would dare to sell European barbarians in large quantities with the latest weapons? Sell them a small amount to test the performance of weapons and new tactics.

The old munitions I am referring to are the equipment of the previous generation, which is a generation behind the equipment you are using in Kyushu now, understand? "

Only then did Shen Hao click right, and said indifferently: "Then it doesn't matter, anyway, those Japanese daimyos have bought a lot of arms from Kyushu Island, so it's okay to sell them some more."

Li Chengyan nodded, then changed the topic, and talked with Shen Hao about the time when he was studying in the capital and walking and studying in various ministries and cabinets.

……

When Li Chengyan was recalling the youthful years with Shen Hao, Zhengren and Tokugawa Iemitsu were also sitting opposite each other, drinking the green tea sent by the Liao Palace.

After a long silence, Iemitsu Tokugawa said, "The attitude of Xingzi..."

Zhengren's face couldn't help but look a little ugly: "There's no other way now, we can only gamble once, and Xingzi's heart is still towards us, and Xingzi still has Hezu in his heart!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head and said, "What if you lose the bet?"

Zhengren gritted his teeth and said, "If you lose the bet, you can at least unify Japan completely, and even if you donate soil to the Liao Palace in the future, you can win another benefit for Japan.

What I am worried about now is that Ming Dynasty will not allow us to unify Japan so easily, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the middle. "

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said, "Do you know what Daming needs most now? What Daming needs most now are laborers, those laborers who don't need to be paid, and don't feel sorry for being exhausted.

Since the lack of labor means that they lack supervisors, otherwise, how to manage those laborers?Daming has never let Daming people work as laborers themselves, and it is estimated that the status quo will not change in the future.

When we unify Japan now, a large number of samurai will lose their masters, become ronin, and finally enter Daming to become overseers.

In order to achieve this goal, I estimate that Daming will secretly provide arms and supplies to those daimyos.But what does it matter? "

Zhengren said with a gloomy face: "It doesn't matter? This means that our samurai will die more, and a large number of ashigaru may die on the battlefield without even seeing the shadow of the enemy."

Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head and said: "In that case, more samurai will become ronin. This is a preordained result. As for the arms that Da Ming gave them secretly support, believe me, it will not exceed the arms that Da Ming sold to us, and The price will be higher than ours."

After being relatively silent for a while, Tokugawa Iemitsu continued: "All of this has actually been doomed since the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Daming is a dynasty that bears grudges. From their first king to the current king, they have always held grudges. It can be seen from their countless attacks on the grassland.

If it wasn't for the weakening of Ming's national power at that time, I'm afraid that Japan would have ceased to exist in the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.The current emperor of Ming Dynasty likes to fight more than other emperors in the history of Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for him to let Japan go.

All of this has something to do with those bastards in North Korea who attached Daming.

If they hadn't been attached, then North Korea was the buffer zone between Ming and Japan, and now we lost this buffer and Japan faced Ming directly, their emperor would not be able to bear it no matter what. "

Zhengren couldn't help but sighed: "One line of ten thousand generations! The system of emperors of Japan, one line of ten thousand generations, finally ends in my hands!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered, and retorted: "You should call yourself the king, not me, once this word gets out, it will be a serious crime of beheading!

Moreover, it is not yet known whether the emperor's lineage will be completely terminated. Don't forget that we still have the son of the Liao prince. "

Seeing Tokugawa Iemitsu brought the topic back to the beginning, Zhengren couldn't help but sighed again: "Even Xingzi's attitude is so vague, do you think Prince Liao's heart is for Japan?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "That's why I said it can only rely on gambling!

There is also a newly born daughter in my family, who happens to be two years younger than Prince Liao, and I will train her from now on, and let her marry Prince Liao! "

Zhengren said blankly: "The Xingzi back then...can you guarantee that your daughter will not become the Xingzi now?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said: "I can guarantee that Xingzi's attitude will become so vague, because we did not train her from a young age.

As for my daughter, I will contact various ninja genres and ask them to send out masters for training.

If she can't win the favor of the Liao prince's son in the future, and can't revive Japan, let her pick up the relationship between the Liao king's family and the Ming emperor, make Daming completely chaotic, and give Japan a chance! "
