Chapter 238 They lost everything, but gained freedom
Zhang Juzheng's methods were very vicious. He wrote many specific methods in his memorial, but Zhang Juzheng did not say them out.
Zhang Juzheng's behavior can never be called kind, and he never claimed to be a good person, but the courtiers did not object, and it was every point that made the Japanese country uncomfortable.
There is a blood feud between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, which is an inextricable knot.
Concerning the matter of destroying the Japanese, Zhang Juzheng was not serious about fooling the emperor, but promoted the decision step by step through various decrees. The most frightening thing is that even if Zhang Juzheng's poisonous schemes were made public, he would be Everyone knows it, and it does not affect the implementation of these poisonous plans, which can help the Ming Dynasty destroy the Japanese.
Because these vicious schemes are unstoppable conspiracies.
The first decree allowed merchant ships to go to Japan for trading.
This decree can also be understood as: This is a further step for the Ming Dynasty to open up the sea.
Zhang Juzheng will not become a traitor to the Japanese because of this, because the merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to the Japanese country to traffic in Japanese silver. It was not a year, two years, five years or ten years, but a business of decades or hundreds of years. After more than a hundred years of struggle, Zhang Juzheng himself would not be beaten to the list of Japanese invaders because he was solving a deep-rooted contradiction and problem in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invasion.
The causes of the Japanese invasion are very complex, but generally related to the opening and closing of seas. Banning seas does not prohibit maritime trade, but makes sea trade a private patent.
For example, the current method of soot blowing in Japan was passed down from the Ming Dynasty.
The amalgam method used in Taipei is more efficient, but more harmful to workers.
The Ming Dynasty actually noticed very early that mercury can digest gold and silver into mud. Mercury can be used to capture free gold and silver in coarse-grained ores to form amalgam, which is amalgam, but mercury is a huge poison. , Spanish colonists used a large number of amalgam methods to extract gold and silver because they had a large number of cheap slaves to use.
The soot blowing method is to use the mutual solubility characteristics of silver and lead to obtain a silver-lead alloy, and then introduce air to oxidize the lead to obtain crude silver.
Merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to Japan all year round to sell Japanese silver, and they had to take a detour to Ryukyu. No words about Japan could appear in the customs clearance documents. This time the court further opened up the sea and relaxed the ban, so there was no need to By taking a detour, maritime merchants will only make more money.
Maritime merchants do business at sea, and they have to shed a layer of skin after passing a hurdle.
"We cultivate friends and relatives of the Japanese country. With the opening of the sea, won't the Ming Dynasty have many more Japanese traitors?" Ma Ziqiang expressed his doubts. He did not agree with this decree. The Japanese country There are few people, but there are many people in Ming Dynasty. The absolute number of Japanese traitors will definitely be greater than the friends who admire Ming Dynasty.
This will cause a lot of trouble to Daming.
When the time comes, the Japanese thieves will shout that one family in the Ming Dynasty is related to the Japanese. Wouldn’t that make everyone laugh?
Wan Shihe sneered and said, "If they don't open the sea, won't they be able to communicate with the Japanese?"
"Yes." Ma Ziqiang frowned, then relaxed. Wan Shihe was now too good at ending arguments with one sentence. Even if merchants from the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to go to the Japanese country to sell, there would be many people who were pro-Japanese and connected with the Japanese, because Japan's silver production was stable and its quantity was the largest.
In pursuit of profit, merchants always gather in places where there is the most money. The number of people from Fujian, Zhejiang and Huaihe in Japan is not small, such as the former sea pirate Wang Zhi.
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Wan Shihe in surprise. When Wan Shihe first became the Minister of Rites, he was really on the verge of death. Now he has become something of an evergreen in the court. The appearance of the tree is extremely sensitive to the change of wind direction.
"Wang Bengu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Nanjing, sent a memorial. Hearing that there were pirates Lin Afeng and others under the governor of Luzon, he asked for orders to kill them." Zhang Juzheng turned out a memorial.
Wang Bengu served successively during the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli years. He served in three dynasties and was highly respected.
"Has he been to Luzon? Does he know the situation in Luzon? Yin Butang worked hard to make Luzon impregnable. If he says a word, I will order to kill him Lin Afeng? If Yin Butang wants to use it, I won't let him go?
This memorial was presented to Zhang Juzheng personally and he told the little emperor the details.
When Wang Bengu was the governor of Zhejiang, he had conflicts and conflicts with Hu Zongxian regarding the handling of pirate Wang Zhi.
But in the end, Wang Bengu, the governor of Zhejiang, won a great victory, arrested Wang Zhi, and finally beheaded him in Hangzhou. From then on, the Japanese invasion intensified.
Hu Zongxian advocated the use of both suppression and appeasement, recruited Wang Zhi, and used Wang Zhi’s powerful overseas power to destroy pirates;
However, Wang Bengu hated evil and felt that pirates were pirates. Wang Zhi falsely stated that he would help the Ming Dynasty quell the Japanese invasion, just to use the prestige of the court to strengthen his own reputation.
Before Wang Zhi was recruited by the imperial court, he overrodely proclaimed himself the king of Satsuma Island and called himself the Song Dynasty. He called himself the King of Hui. The thirty-six islands of the Satsuma Domain were all under Wang Zhi's control.
Hu Zongxian personally wrote a letter to Wang Zhi to enter the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhi's entry into the Ming Dynasty was very cumbersome and complicated. Wang Zhi's ship arrived outside Ningbo Cengang, but he still hesitated. Only after Hu Zongxian's persuasion did Wang Zhi agree to disembark.
However, Hu Zongxian failed to save Wang Zhi in the end. Wang Bengu, representing the deep-rooted retro-religious faction in the court, beheaded Wang Zhi, and the leaderless Japanese pirates began to invade the southeast.
Wang Bengu wanted to kill Wang Zhi because of his stubbornness and prejudice against villains. Even though Wang Zhi had never once seduced Japanese pirates to invade the sea, he even helped the Ming Dynasty navy to suppress Japanese pirates many times under Hu Zongxian. However, Wang Bengu felt that a villain like Wang Zhi was like a rat and a rat. In the environment where he was bound to die if he crossed the border, Wang Zhi was beheaded.
Wang Bengu believed that the villain Wang Zhi had a desire to make a profit, went into the sea in violation of the sea ban, forgot the righteousness of China, entered the foreign country as a bandit, arrogated the name of Song Dynasty and made himself king, and deserved to die.
Wang Zhi was already dead when he was arrested. Even if Wang Zhi is released, who can guarantee that Wang Zhi does not hold a grudge and will not collude with Japanese pirates to invade the Ming Dynasty?
When he heard that Yin Zhengmao was re-employing Lin Afeng in Luzon, Wang Bengu reported to the court and requested that Ni Hu be killed.
Why must Wang Zhi die?
Because Wang Zhi’s proposition harmed the vital interests of smuggling merchants along the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zhi advocated that the imperial court abandon its outdated maritime ban policy, legalize maritime trade, establish a customs rate office to collect tariffs, establish municipal shipping departments in Zhejiang and Fujian, and restore Japan's tribute trade relations.
This seriously harmed the smugglers' monopoly on maritime trade, so Wang Zhi must die.
In the second year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty established the Yuegang Shipping Department. Many years after Wang Zhi's death, maritime trade was legalized, and finally started slowly and slowly.
"Then Lin Afeng is in Luzon, and he can kill anyone he wants? Did Wang Bengu think it was when he killed Wang Zhi?" Wan Shihe got the wind and immediately spoke in agreement. : "In order to ensure the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Lu Song, His Majesty even did not hesitate to give the country a surname. When such an edict reaches Lu Song, won't it become the source of disaster?"
Once the edict to kill Lin Afeng arrives, In Luzon, whether to kill or not to kill is the question.
If they are killed, the six to seven thousand pirates recruited by Lin Afeng will become civil strife in Luzon and even spread to the Ming Dynasty.
If you don't kill and disobey the imperial decree, you will break with the Ming Dynasty and completely rely on the Ming Dynasty to rule the Governor's Palace. It will be beaten to pieces by the red-haired fans of Taixi and overthrown. In a split second.
Wan Shihe is definitely not alarmist when he says that this is the source of trouble, because unrest will definitely happen.
Lin Afeng is not disobedient. After being recruited, she is also conscientious and dedicated. Yin Zhengmao's control over Lin Afeng is also very effective. Lin Afeng's generals and junior officers are all Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Guest soldiers led by Yuan Xun and Deng Zilong served as the commander.
"Wan Dazai's words are reasonable." Tan Lun agreed with Wan Shihe's statement.
Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou, as famous anti-Japanese generals back then, knew clearly that Wan Shihe's words were based on historical lessons and what kind of disaster Wang Bengu had caused when he arrested Wang Zhi without authorization.
Wang Zhi’s family of pirates was the dominant one and was entrenched in Satsuma Prefecture, which completely blocked the Japanese influence on the Ming Dynasty. Once Wang Zhi died, the Japanese pirates were like vicious dogs released from the cage.
Because Wang Zhi’s death meant that Ming Dynasty had completely lost control of its maritime territories.
Hai Rui said with a playful expression: "As the saying goes, once the power is in hand, orders will be carried out. It is said that if you clear the prefecture in three years, you will get one hundred thousand gold and silver." , This saying means that no matter how honest the prefect is, he can make a hundred thousand gold and silver in three years."
"Wang Bengu, who has been a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has a reputation for being honest, so we can check it out. Check to see if he is really honest."
Hai Rui directly regarded Wang Bengu as an anti-corruption target, because he felt that what was written in this memorial was unreasonable and Luzon was thousands of miles away. , how did Wang Bengu figure out the situation in Luzon and report it to him?
After Yang Bo became an official and returned to his hometown, he ignored the affairs of the court. The court learned about Yang Bo again, and it was when Yang Bo died of illness at home.
Ge Shouli shook his head and said: "If anything is found out, nothing can be done about it, right?"
Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no anti-corruption, and forgetting past the past was a political default rule. Wang Bengu was greedy. No matter how much, it can't be investigated and dealt with, right?
Hai Rui said with a smile: "Why can he write a letter to speak out? Because he is a second-ranking gentry. Why should he write this memorial about killing Lin Afeng? This can always be checked Check.”
"That's it." Ge Shouli understood.
When can ex post facto proceedings be pursued? When he doesn't stop and still collects money to do things, old accounts from the past will have to be listed and dealt with.
Zhang Juzheng continued to preside over the court discussions. This time he appointed an envoy to Ryukyu and made Shangjiu king to help the Ryukyu king pacify the Japanese.
Shangjiu was not the prince, and the court did not want to confer the title, so it delayed for five years. But the problem now is that the Ming Dynasty was beyond its reach. The right way was to use the help of Ryukyu to quell the Japanese to expand the Ming Dynasty's influence in Ryukyu.
Sanniangzi came to Beijing. This was her third tribute. After staying at Huitongguanyi, she rested for a day and couldn't wait to see Chen Xuexue, the minister of Honglu Temple.
"My sister's matter has caused a lot of trouble for Chen Dongqing." After greeting each other, Sanniangzi first apologized. She gave her sister to Chen Xuexue to establish a communication channel and prepare herself for entering the court. Make preparations.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Siwei's military expedition is in danger. Because the wool business is a big deal, the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty are no longer satisfied with communicating with the northwest Jin Party, but want to communicate directly with the court. This In fact, my sister is just like the grandson of Anda Khan who fled into the Ming Dynasty. They are both creating communication channels.
But Sanniangzi, the younger sister, escaped back, making Chen Xue Xue very passive.
"She comes from a womanly family, and there is fierce competition in the court. It is normal for her to be afraid." Chen Xuexue sat upright and said with a smile.
Sanniangzi’s sister is Chen Xuexue’s concubine and is now Chen Xuexue’s concubine. Therefore, Sanniangzi and Chen Xuexue are related by marriage. Chen Xuexue originally intended to avoid suspicion. Sanniangzi is a loyal and obedient wife canonized by the Ming Dynasty. He is also qualified to directly face Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites.
However, Zhang Juzheng still asked Chen Xuexue to receive him during the court meeting. This was a kind of protection.
"Chen Dongqing is a real man." Sanniangzi said sincerely.
Chen Xuexue looked at Sanniangzi with some doubts. This sentence seemed to have no beginning or end.
Sanniangzi said very solemnly: "I thought that my sister was not going to die soon until she came to Huitongguyi yesterday to look for me, so I said that Chen Dongqing is a real man."
Sanniangzi said to herself When her sister returned to the Ming Dynasty, she had a pessimistic attitude. She sent her sister back to the capital. In fact, she was already prepared for her sister to die violently and find out who this person was. The scholars in the Ming Dynasty were ruthless. Sanniangzi had seen it many times. They fought for power and power. What can't be accomplished due to strife?
Sanniangzi’s sister has become a hindrance to Chen Xuexue’s continued advancement, so it is only natural that she die in order to eliminate the resistance.
"Mrs. Zhongshun is ridiculous. When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. When you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since you have entered my house, you will naturally be under my care." Only then did Chen Xuexue understand that his feelings were in this sister-in-law. In my heart, I am this kind of villain who kills people and silences them.
The escape of Sanniangzi’s sister was finally deemed by the court as a return to hometown to visit relatives. After returning, his problem was not so serious.
Because of the power of the court, public opinion is still focused on Wang Chonggu, a clan traitor. Especially since Wang Chonggu is about to join the cabinet due to his meritorious service, Wang Chonggu is even more at the forefront of the storm. No one cares about the problem of Chen Xuexue Attention. After all, people came back with their children.
If Sanniangzi's sister does not come back, or cannot come back, Chen Xuexue will be in trouble.
Chen Xuexue couldn't help but think of Wang Daokun. Wang Daokun presided over the marriage of his father-in-law in Songjiang Mansion, which caused a lot of trouble. One day, Wang Daokun woke up in the morning and suddenly saw an extra woman beside him. Soon this matter became a mystery. The imperial censor heard that Wang Daokun was impeached for raping a common woman. The final resolution of the matter was that Wang Daokun took the common woman as his concubine.
Wang Daokun didn't care about this concubine. After the struggle between the emperor and his father was over, this concubine also lived well.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were vicious and cruel. This is not the stereotype of Sanniangzi, but the reality.
"The imperial court will never allow Anda Khan to request a gold seal." Chen Xuexue clarified his attitude after reminiscing with Sanniangzi.
"The Ming court did not allow it, but Anda Khan still has to go." Sanniangzi said with great certainty: "This is the fourth time he has gone to Xining. In the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth years of Jiajing, In the second year of Longqing, Anda Khan went south from Hetao many times and defeated the Yibula tribe and the Bu'erhai tribe one after another. The Ming Dynasty tried to stop them, but they couldn't stop them. "
Anda Khan attacked four times. The conquest of Qinghai and the two attacks on Oara were impressive. If the Hexi Corridor had not been blocked in the middle, Qinghai and Hetao would have been connected and became a serious problem in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is why the Ming Dynasty did not give gold seals. The Hexi Corridor is the Hexi Corridor of the Ming Dynasty." Chen Xuexue said very calmly: "Ida Khan is very powerful. In the words of your grassland, the Immortality of Heaven The glory shines on Xining again."
"If Anda Khan is given the golden seal, then the Hexi Corridor will be the passage for Anda Khan to enter at will."
Of course Chen Xuexue knows about Anda. Anda Khan is very strong, and he has won many battles against Oara, Xining Rongdi, and the Ming Dynasty. The victory of the war has made Anda Khan's cohesion extremely strong. However, as Anda Khan's leg disease has become more serious, his The rapid decline of personal prestige gave Sanniang an opportunity.
"Are Anda Khan going to become a Buddhist?" Chen Xuexue suddenly asked.
"Yes." Sanniangzi's expression changed suddenly, but she still replied.
Believing in Buddhism is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Once the grassland people believe in Buddhism, they will lose their ability to attack. For example, the Liao Kingdom, a close enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, became a Buddhist country after believing in Buddhism and lost its ability to attack. In terms of ability, he and the Northern Song Dynasty were worse than each other.
“The grasslands believe in the Immortal Heaven. The literal translation of Genghis Khan is: He who relies on the power of the Immortal Heaven to become a Khan is chosen by the gods. As a golden family, wouldn’t Anda Khan have betrayed his ancestors?” Chen Xuexue was full of praise. Said with a smile.
"Anda Khan is a traitor on the grassland." Sanniangzi said helplessly after all.
Anda Khan was very persistent in his belief in Buddhism, which meant that Anda Khan not only betrayed the god of the grassland, but also his ancestors. The Sanniang also opposed it, but the stubborn Anda Khan insisted on his own way.
The imperial court did not grant the gold seal, and Anda Khan went to Xining. The imperial court gave the gold seal, and Anda Khan still went to Xining.
Sanniangzi said unwillingly: "The imperial court gave Anda Khan the golden seal, which is also good for the court. The Ming Dynasty is planning the northeast, so the northwest will be more stable. Anda Khan went to Xining smoothly, which is good for the court. Ming Dynasty's strategy in the Northeast has only advantages and no disadvantages."
"The court meeting has already made a decision, and it will not be easier." Chen Xuexue answered this question very clearly.
"What a pity." The third lady had no choice but to accept the court's decision, because the court had already made a decision, and even if it was found to be wrong, it would go all the way to the end.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was supreme, and his imperial edicts were golden words. However, in the early years of Wanli, the effectiveness of the results of the Ming Dynasty's court deliberations even exceeded the emperor's imperial edicts. Once the court deliberations were passed, it represented the highest will of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was wrong. We will continue to implement it resolutely.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by Emperor Wanli. Zhang Juzheng substantially threatened the imperial power.
Gao Gong's downfall was because he wanted to knock out the Supervisor of Ceremonies and threatened the imperial power. Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by Emperor Wanli after his death because Zhang Juzheng threatened the imperial power.
“Has the court approved the expansion of border trade this time?” Sanniangzi asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhongshun is well-informed. Even in Bansheng, she got the news faster than I did." Chen Xuexue confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Before, after the Ming Dynasty imperial meeting ended, the courtiers had not received clear information. Anda Khan in the grassland already knew what the court meeting was discussing, and the courtiers who knew Anda Khan also wanted to exact.
But now, this situation has changed. The news Sanniangzi received was that Chen Xuexue asked his concubine to pass it on to Sanniangzi.
"What does the court want?" the third lady asked with a frown.
"Horses." Chen Xuexue replied with a smile: "To be precise, war horses and stallions."
"That's impossible." Sanniangzi said firmly, war horses and stallions Horses are related to the survival of Beibei, their mobility.
But Chen Xuexue stood up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I don't sell it, we can just ask Tuman Khan to buy it."
"Chen Dongqing stays!" The third lady said in shock: "The Ming Dynasty There is a war going on recently, isn’t it necessary to fight against the barbarians?”
“We can also do business without delay.” Chen Xuexue left Sanniangzi’s room without any nostalgia. Not to mention meeting His Majesty, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain anything from this visit to Beijing.
The border trade expanded by the imperial court was to buy good horses and stallions. Ida Khan refused to sell them, so the Ming Dynasty asked Tuman Khan to buy them.
Chen Xuexue did not leave Huitongguanyi, but found Legas, the Thai-Western envoy.
“When I heard the magpies chirping happily on the branches in the morning, I knew that a distinguished guest was coming to my door. Chen Dongqing’s visit really made me particularly surprised and happy.” Legasi smiled broadly. In the past few years in the Ming Dynasty, he had been pampered, lived a stable life, and seemed to be getting richer.
Legas was the governor and special envoy of the Philippines appointed by Felipe II. However, this governor was not in Mindanao, but in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Legas has become accustomed to the comfortable life in the capital, and the days of fighting storms, huge waves, and indigenous people at sea have become strange and fearful.
The Ming Dynasty has everything, and it is quite polite to Legas. If Legas is asked to choose to return to the West or stay in the Ming Dynasty, Legas will definitely hesitate repeatedly.
This place is like heaven to him.
This is how admiration for friends is cultivated.
“You have learned the polite words of Ming Dynasty scholars.” Chen Xuexue motioned for Legas to sit down.
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Chen Xue Xue asked tentatively: "How do the Thais trade slaves with peace of mind?"
"Slander! This is slander! When will we Are they selling slaves? We are their pilots, leading them out of their ignorant and backward life, allowing them to live in a new world and live freely!" When Legasi heard this, he immediately broke his guard and was very angry. argued loudly.
"Yes, yes, that's what I'm here to learn!" When Chen Xuexue heard this, he said in great surprise: "That's it."
Legas was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this. Gritting his teeth but having no choice but to do anything about it, Chen Xuexue must learn from the Westerners about human trafficking. They are always so leading in this regard.
Zhang Juzheng’s trick was to allow Japanese women to breed, but there was a ban on not allowing Japanese women to return to Japan. That is, any Japanese woman could sell herself to a Ming merchant, and then marry someone in the name of marriage. Ming Dynasty people.
The money used to redeem one’s life is called betrothal gift.
Chen Xue Xue explained his purpose.
After listening to this, Ligas nodded repeatedly and said: "Isn't this great? There is no such thing as human trafficking. How can there be human trading? It's just that life in the Japanese country is too difficult. In order to pursue a better life, A good life, marrying in the Ming Dynasty, isn’t this a good story? ”
"The Ming Dynasty is no longer as good as Taixi in covering up shame."
"There are still some shortcomings." Chen Xuexue said solemnly: "Then if its orthodoxy is eliminated, sweep away How should its nest be concealed? "
Legas thought for a moment and replied: "A limited, closed, ignorant, dark, and heavy universe is surrounded by an infinite, open, and civilized universe. "After destroying the sky and the kingdom of heaven, tell them that they are free."
Chen Xue Xue said suddenly. , In this way, they lost everything, but gained freedom, so good! In this regard, Taixi is indeed a master-level figure. "
Freedom is a way of saying something, but you have lost everything and gained more. Important things, this freedom can be fairness, justice, equality, etc., it all depends on how it is packaged and described.
"Are you praising or insulting?" Ligas has been in Beijing for several years and can already distinguish between good and bad words. It is obvious that Chen Xuexin is scolding people.
Chen Xuexue really knows how to learn these techniques and narrative styles of Tai and West, which is a good way.
The Ming Dynasty's imperial edict to confer King Shang Yong of Ryukyu was sent to Songjiang Prefecture by the coastal defense inspection. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty appointed Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun as the chief envoy, Caojiang Admiral Xiao Chongye as the deputy envoy, and Chen Lin as the general of Ping Japanese, and went to Ryukyu to confer the title. He defeated the King of Ryukyu and helped the King of Ryukyu pacify Japan.
The fleet that was consecrated this time was not just one sealing boat. There were thirteen five-masted ocean crossing ships, thirty-six three-masted plywood giant ships, and seventy four-masted warships. Two ships, a navy with a total of more than 30,000 soldiers and generals, and more than 3,000 guest soldiers, headed for Ryukyu.
This is almost all the power that Songjiang Prefecture can use, and the eight prefectures along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian will also provide 400 materials and more than a hundred ships. They will gather at Songjiang and Ningbo Shipping Departments, waiting for news of the carrier pigeon, at any time Prepare to support the army.
April is when the trade winds are most suitable. It only takes three days to reach Songjiang Prefecture, and this period is also the time when there are the least storms on the sea.
On April 17, Wang Daokun, Xiao Chongye, and Chen Lin gathered at the Tide Watching Building in Xingang to prepare for tomorrow's sea voyage.
"Your Majesty means that this time we go to Ryukyu to pacify the Japanese, but we will not pacify the Japanese either." Wang Daokun began to interpret the imperial edict.
Xiao Chongye said doubtfully: "What does it mean to be equal to Japanese and not equal to Japanese?"
"Ruping." Wang Daokun said with great conviction.
Come or not? Tathagata; equal or not? Ruping.
“Your Majesty’s intention is to mainly carry out an armed parade, circle around Ryukyu, and then go directly back to Songjiang Prefecture City.” Chen Lin saw Xiao Chongye’s confused look and explained His Majesty’s holy intention. .
This trip to sea was just an armed patrol, not a real battle. The reason was actually that the Ming Dynasty wanted to expand its influence in Ryukyu.
The King of Ryukyu is eager to get rid of the Japanese control over them, so after seeing the powerful naval power of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Ryukyu will pay more to invite the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how harsh the Ming Dynasty's conditions were, they were not as harsh as the Japanese pirates' conditions.
Will you give me a monthly pass? If given? ! Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
