Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 481
Cai Jin was so happy that he immediately asked.Not satisfied with this alone, he even went to the streets in person to listen to the music in the streets and alleys.Later, I heard that there were records of various wars in the Chungnyeolsa Shrine, so I went to check it out again.

Just like that, Cai Jin finally had a comprehensive understanding of Daming's wars in the past few years.

At this time, he realized that the previous rumors were indeed true, but that was all in the past.After the current emperor rises up, he will suppress the bandits, overthrow the government, comfort the common people, destroy Mongolia, and defeat the captives...

"His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, you are really the master of wisdom and martial arts!" Cai Jin couldn't help but secretly sighed, and made up his mind that if he could have an audience with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future, he must ask the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to be the master of the small Ryukyu country!
If you don't see the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in the end, then you have to think of another way, no matter what, you must fight for Ryukyu, otherwise, without Daming to make the decision, Ryukyu alone will not be able to break free from the clutches of the Japanese Kingdom!
But if he knew the reaction of Emperor Chongzhen, he would probably be sad.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the Ryukyu Credentials forwarded by the Supervisor of Rites.In his impression, Ryukyu was the territory of the Japanese country. To be honest, he really didn’t know that at this time, Ryukyu was not the territory of the Japanese country, and the Ming Dynasty was still the suzerainty of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Just like Korea, it was to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty. To be enthroned as king.

In other words, Ryukyu is Daming's younger brother.According to the usual practice, the canonization is the canonization, and Emperor Chongzhen has no objection.But he was a little curious, wondering when Ryukyu was taken over by the Wa Kingdom.

With this interest, he ordered to summon the Ryukyu envoy.

When Cai Jin heard that the Emperor Ming had summoned him, and that he was summoned so quickly, he was ecstatic. He immediately tidied up solemnly, and rushed to the Forbidden City thinking about his words.

Needless to say, there is no need to mention the etiquette of meeting, including formally handing over letters of credence, presenting a list of tributes, etc.

It can be said that Shangxian, the eldest son of the Ryukyu Kingdom, sent troops to expel the Japanese pirates in order to obtain the Ming Dynasty. The tributes this time were all things from the sea, such as corals and other rare treasures.

But it is a pity that Emperor Chongzhen just glanced at these things and put them aside, not interested.This made Cai Jin, who secretly peeked at the emperor's face, couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart: Daming has a vast land and abundant resources, it seems that the Emperor of Ming doesn't like this stuff, so the next thing may be a little difficult!

He was thinking about it, when suddenly he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask him with a smile: "Ryukyu and Wa Kingdom are adjacent, can they still be in harmony?"

Hearing this, Cai Jin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, he was overjoyed immediately, no, no, no, he shouldn't be overjoyed, his face changed very quickly, and immediately showed grief and indignation, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed Weeping and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the Japanese country has always been extremely vicious, and my small Ryukyu country has been bullied by the Japanese country for a long time! What is even more hateful is that my Ryukyu country regards the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, but it still forces me to serve the Japanese country as the main country, forcing me to do so. Let Ryukyu pay tribute to Edo."

Speaking of this, he raised his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and said righteously: "Although the country is small, it understands the principle of having only one master. It's just that the small country is powerless to resist, so we can only ask Ming to send troops to be the master of the small country!"

Emperor Chongzhen had been emperor for a long time, so he naturally understood which of the Ryukyu envoy's words were exaggerated and which were true, but he didn't mind because he had a natural sense of mission, which was to defeat the Japanese.It's just that they haven't freed up their hands yet. Another reason is to give the country a reason to send troops.

The Wa country at this time was the Tokugawa shogunate, and Emperor Chongzhen knew from his memory that the Tokugawa shogunate did not have any enemies with the Ming Dynasty, and they implemented the policy of closing the country.

Of course, in the future, if Emperor Chongzhen is free and wants to beat the Wa Kingdom, there must be a reason for it.But this doesn't mean that he wouldn't mind one more reason to beat up Wa.

And the Ryukyu country's request is the best reason.Just like when North Korea was the vassal state of Ming Dynasty, after being attacked by foreign enemies and asking for help, Ming Dynasty also sent troops to rescue.With this precedent, no one will say anything.

As for taking the opportunity to blackmail Ryukyu and reap some benefits from Ryukyu.To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't have that kind of thought. It is really that Ryukyu is too small, and it is just a few islands. What benefits can be obtained, so I don't like it!

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he pretended to be angry, and shouted sharply: "What a Japanese country, the previous invasion of North Korea, the lesson given by Ming was not enough? Now that he doesn't want to repent, he went to invade Ryukyu again, and wanted to fight against me, Daming, and rob me A vassal state, how bold it is!"

Hearing these words, Cai Jin was overjoyed and moved at the same time. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was still willing to get angry for a mere small country. It is a small country's fortune to have such a suzerain country!

Just as he was thinking, he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask him majestically: "Please tell me the specific situation in detail!"

"Your servant obeys the order!" Cai Jin immediately told the story of Ryukyu being bullied by the Japanese country from beginning to end.At the end, he took out another item from his bosom, put it on with both hands, and said with a sob, "This is Xiaoguo's weeping blood pleading letter. It has the blood marks of the former king and son on it. I implore Daming to be the master of Xiaoguo!"

It would be even better to have such a formal document!Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard it. He took it from his servant, and after reading it, he said, "Don't worry, I will make the decision for Ryukyu!"

The ministers standing nearby, especially the Minister of the Household Department, had been a little worried when they heard their conversation. Now that they heard the emperor's intention, they seemed to be about to send troops, and they became anxious immediately.

The revenue of the imperial treasury has only improved, but after all, there are still wars in Liaodong and Southwest China, and not to mention the disaster relief in various places, all of which need money.If the emperor wants to start another war again, then the Wa country is not a small country, and I don't know how much it will cost to fight, let alone drag down the treasury of Ming Dynasty again!
Thinking about it this way, according to what he meant, he would not send troops.However, if the vassal state asks for help, the suzerain state will not be able to justify it if it does not call the shots.When he was thinking hard about how to persuade him, he heard Emperor Chongzhen change the subject and said to the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom: "However, I will not hide it from you. Now that Liaodong has not been restored, we cannot send troops for the time being. Wait until we are destroyed in a few years. After you conquer Jianlu, we will definitely send troops to help you Ryukyu!"

Hearing this, Minister of the Household Department couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: Your Majesty is wise, it's so good, so good!
He doesn't understand his emperor, who absolutely puts Ming's interests first!After finally walking on the road of ZTE, how could it be possible to destroy all of this by himself!
After hearing this, Cai Jin was naturally a little disappointed.But compared to previous expectations, at least the Emperor Ming had agreed to send troops to help Ryukyu, and he would finally have an explanation when he went back, so he prostrated himself on the ground, expressing his gratitude.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for him to finish, and then instructed him: "However, at the time of this canonization, Ryukyu must spy on the details of the Wa Kingdom, so that when the Japanese send troops, we can know ourselves and our enemies!"

Doing so would further prove that the Emperor Ming wanted to send troops. Therefore, Cai Jin immediately agreed, saying that there was absolutely no problem.

Needless to say the situation of Japanese pirates in Ryukyu, Ryukyu naturally knows.As for the domestic situation in Wa Kingdom, because Ryukyu is going to pay tribute, I can also learn some things.

So, things about Ryukyu were basically settled like this.As for canonization or something, just follow the usual practice, there is nothing to say.

One thing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't know was that because of his time travel, history had changed, and his butterfly wings had also fanned to the Wa Kingdom.

At this time, the country of Wa was in the 20th year of Kanyong, and Emperor Houguang had just ascended the throne.The actual ruler of Wa was Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of the Tokugawa shogunate.No, the end of the year is approaching, and Tokugawa Iemitsu is also in a meeting, listening to the report of Nakamatsudaira Nobuzuna.

The so-called old middle school of the Wa Kingdom is similar to the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, who manages the government affairs of the shogunate.And this Matsudaira Nobutsuna is Tokugawa Iemitsu's confidant. A few years ago, it was Matsudaira Nobuzuna who suppressed the Shimabara Rebellion and gradually began to lock the country.

I just heard Matsudaira Nobutsuna complaining: "...As a result, this year's national harvest is still lower than expected, please punish the general!"

After hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head and sighed: "This is not your fault! The earth dragon in our country is overturning, tsunamis continue, and there will be more this year, and it is to be expected that the harvest is lower than expected!"

When he said this, he thought of something and couldn't help but fell silent.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna is his confidant, seeing him like this at this time, he immediately understood what he was thinking.

The country of Wa is just a few islands, and it is mountainous, greatly influenced by the earth dragon and the sea.Every person in the Wa country knows these shortcomings of the Wa country, and therefore, the ambitious rulers of the Wa country will want to expand the country to avoid this predicament.

The former Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to North Korea, which can be said to be an attempt.No, tried twice.It's just a pity that they were all stopped by the Ming Kingdom.And because of consecutive defeats, it was later that Tokugawa Ieyasu seized power, and only then did the Tokugawa shogunate.

The position is not correct, and all the big names have considerable strength, which also makes the Tokugawa shogunate no longer have the mind to expand, and only want to consolidate its rule.This point, whether it is Tokugawa Iemitsu or Matsudaira Nobuzuna, is crystal clear.

At this time, because he talked about the things affected by the natural disaster and remembered the past, he was silent for a while.If the original historical development is followed, then they will do whatever they should do next.However, on this plane, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and someone from his subordinates came over and said, "Marshal Jin Zi of the North Korean capital crossed the sea to vote!"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu and Matsudaira Nobuzuna couldn't help being a little surprised. They looked at each other, and they both saw that the other had doubts.

Both of them could hear clearly that Marshal Du of North Korea did not come here to go on an envoy, but to seek refuge. How could this be? What happened in North Korea? Could it be that North Korea wanted to kill him before he escaped?
A little curious in his heart, Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to hear what was going on, so he ordered a summons.

This Marshal Jin Zi pointed out that it was none other than the one who led the troops to accompany Yingerdai to escort the grain back to Liaodong, and was ambushed by Lu Xiangsheng's troops on the way, because he saw the opportunity quickly and fled into the mountains and escaped.

Jin was unlucky from the point of view, because he was too anxious, he escaped a little faster, and got lost in the mountains.After he came out, the situation in North Korea changed so fast that he couldn't get used to it.

First of all, North Korea rejoined Daming anyway, and became an enemy of Jianlu.And he is a gold-supporting faction, afraid that he will be punished if he returns to the court, so he sneaks back to his hometown.

Speaking of which, he is a descendant of a famous family in North Korea, and he is a rich family in the local area, so he can live comfortably when he goes back.

However, not long after, Jianlu invaded again, burning, killing and looting half of North Korea.However, Jin Zi pointed out that it was nothing. On the contrary, he felt that it would be good for him to kill Jianlu again.Therefore, just as he was about to go out of the mountain again to meet his master, because of Lu Xiangsheng's blockade in Pyongyang, Jianlu all went back again, making his joy empty.

When the next time Jianlu invades North Korea again, it will be more powerful than the previous burning, killing and looting. It is to destroy North Korea.For the kings and ministers of North Korea, there is no distinction between the factions that support money or support Ming, all are arrested and all are robbed.

This situation frightened Jin Zi, who was full of joy.When Jianlu killed him, he had no choice but to flee and hide in the mountains.

After Jianlu left, North Korea became a land of no one.People from all walks of life, as long as they have a little thought, they will start to grab the territory.And Jin Zidian is a local wealthy family. Among the many forces, he is really the master of one side, not to mention.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Dorgon ordered to plunder North Korea again, because Liaodong was really short of food. He couldn't surrender to Jianlu, and he couldn't go to the Ming Dynasty. In the end, he had to cross the sea to join the Wa Kingdom.

It was for this purpose that when he met Tokugawa Iemitsu, his posture was very low.When Iemitsu Tokugawa asked the reason, he naturally knew everything and explained the current situation in North Korea in detail.

Unexpectedly, only a few years later, North Korea had already destroyed the country, and the Ming Dynasty was fighting the Liaodong rebellion to the death. Such amazing news immediately stimulated Tokugawa Iemitsu.

With the efforts of two generations of Tokugawa shoguns, the Wa Kingdom has basically stabilized its rule.Now that North Korea has become a land of no man, it is simply a piece of fat and oily fat for the Wa country!That allure, for the Japanese people, is really very great.

As a result, the Tokugawa shogunate began to summon their confidants and immediately discussed the news brought by Jin Zidian.

In the previous era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it was because of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty that the Wa Kingdom failed to eat North Korea.Although they eventually withdrew to the Wa country, they did not admit that they were defeated by the Ming country, but because Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, they retreated by themselves.
