Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 525: Japanese all-out war breaks out!
"Is this... going too far?" Zhu Su said hesitantly.

Isn't the reason why Prince Huairiang assassinated the emperor was caused by the fact that it was best not to expose the Ming Dynasty to the public and arouse the hatred of the Japanese people?As soon as this treaty was promulgated, the diehard elements in the Japanese country were not angry with each other and wanted to expel the Ming Dynasty.

If because of this treaty, Ming Dynasty fell into the quagmire of war, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
"Of course not." Fujiwara Takanao said matter-of-factly. "According to my brother's original intention, I should have thought of directly deposing Emperor Naoshiko, and letting Your Highness directly rule the Southern Dynasty."

"On the one hand, considering that doing so may offend the taboos of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and on the other hand, this Southern Dynasty has some uses. It can call on the Japanese princes to fight against the Northern Dynasty."

"Such a treaty is extremely merciful. Compared with that of the shogunate, I don't know how much more benevolent and righteous it is."

"Nothing too much."

Zhu Su was stunned.It makes sense. The shogunate of the Northern Dynasties didn't even leave any underwear to the emperor, but kept them as ornamental pets.In comparison, the Ming Dynasty only wanted some concessions and some honorable status, which was already a great deal of face to the Japanese country.

After all, without the help of the Ming Dynasty, these remaining forces in the Southern Dynasty would not be the opponents of the shogunate at all.

"My master has something to say about this. Can the young monk say something?" Hui Ru interrupted at this time. "Your Highness is worried that it will arouse the anger of the Japanese people?"

"Forgive me, young monk, for speaking frankly. The Japanese country does not practice righteousness, and most of the country's famous people are selfish and selfish people."

"As for the ordinary people, they are indifferent and don't know who will be in charge of the country today. Moreover, the Japanese country has always been dominated by daimyo and nobles with several surnames. The people have no promotion level. They have been resigned and exploited for generations, so how can they care about it? What kind of humiliation does the emperor have, what kind of hatred is caused by the hatred of the country and the family?”

"If they can have the identity of a Chinese and enjoy the treatment of China's benevolent government for a day, for them, it would be a worthwhile death."

He was originally a common man from the Japanese country, and these words spoke from the bottom of his heart.Zhu Su nodded when he heard this: It makes sense. The Japanese country is still ignorant and its rulers are cruel. How can the people of Li have any national consciousness.The so-called people's war should be based on unfounded worries.

Huiru continued: "My master once said that controlling the emperor is indeed a great tool for gaining great righteousness and fame, and can greatly save effort."

"However, although the Japanese country is small, there are still one or two righteous people. If these people are not eliminated, and when His Highness leads the army to retreat, these people will rise up and become monsters."

"In this case, it would be better to blatantly attract such people to come forward, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, which would be a long-term solution."

Hui Ru's voice was calm, but her words were shocking.

"Is this Monk Daoyan's plan?" Zhu Su touched his chin.Huiru clasped her hands together and nodded in confirmation.Zhu Su then sighed: "Monk Dao Yan is indeed a monster monk, and he has already thought of such a way to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."

"In this case, I, Ming Dynasty, won't hide it anymore." Zhu Su stood up. "With only one ambitious Northern Dynasty left, so what if they blatantly regard the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty as a puppet?"

"The puppet's righteousness is also righteous. Anyway, the Northern Dynasty wants to fight us to the death."

"We will proceed according to the treaty. After that, Guishan will give up his title and respect the Ming Dynasty as the master. There is also one more article: All the lands conquered by the Ming army will be our Ming Dynasty concession, and the lease term will be tens of millions of years. They are all regarded as the land of my Ming Dynasty."

This was when the Ming Dynasty was preparing to directly use war to enclose territory in the Japanese country. Fujiwara Takanao nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Mr. Gao, please choose some people to go to the emperor first to report all the affairs of the Japanese country to my father, and then ask him for a name, saying that I want to establish a 'Yingzhou Xuanwei Division' in the Japanese country. "Zhu Su turned to Gao Qi and said.

"There are also many Chinese remnants in the Japanese country. We, the Ming Dynasty, are now the Chinese orthodox, and we cannot ignore these wanderers wandering overseas. The Chinese people are protected and governed by our Chinese orthodoxy. I, the Ming Dynasty, established Xuanwei in the Japanese country. Secretary, it's just right." "What His Highness said is true. I will arrange this matter properly." This was to give a status to the many concessions in the Japanese country. Gao Qi nodded in agreement.

"Ambassador Fujiwara, you and your brother will help our Ming Dynasty select people who are willing to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan." Zhu Su said to Fujiwara Takashi. "Anyone who recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan can take up a position in the Xuanwei Department of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Whether he wants to be an official of the King of Japan or an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is up to you."

"Your two brothers have made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty. I will ask my father to give instructions and reward them according to their merits. In the future, I think it will be indispensable to be granted the title of Marquis."

Fujiwara Takanao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly knelt down on the ground: "Thank you for your grace! Thank you for your grace!"

"Yeah." Zhu Su nodded.He turned to look at Gao Qi again: "Mr. Gao, how to trace the origins of these Chinese people living overseas depends on your erudition."

Gao Qi naturally nodded in agreement. During these days in the Japanese country, he was already familiar with the behavior of finding ancestors for the Japanese people.After all, the ancestral origins of the Japanese are very vague, and they might actually be descendants of the Chinese.As long as you are willing to guide, you can lead in the direction of China, and there will also be some classics for research.

The Fujiwara clan is the ancestor he found. Looking at Fujiwara Takanao's frankness and Fujiwara Shinpei's heart toward the Ming Dynasty today, it can be seen that hundreds of people in the Fujiwara clan have no doubts about the origin of the ancestors that Gao Qi found.

"Also, Di Meng." Zhu Su called his own soldiers to confront him. "Go to Jeju Island yourself and let General Lanyu and General Zhang He act according to the previous plan."

"Don't worry about me, let General Lan Yu do whatever he wants."

"Just make sure to capture Tsushima and Sado Island first."

"Yes!" Di Meng ordered him to leave.

"Is Your Highness planning to start a war with the Northern Dynasty?" Gao Qi chuckled.Fujiwara is still loyal, the Southern Dynasty has the justice in its hands, and it is indeed time to confront the Northern Dynasty.

Mu Ying frowned and said: "Let Lan Yu and the others go grab Sado... What if the Northern Dynasty shogunate is desperate and comes to attack us first?"

"The fortifications of Sakai Port are now completed. When the time comes, it will be up to us to stay here and buy time for Lan Yu and the others." Zhu Su is full of confidence in the abilities of Lan Yu and Zhang He. "The shogunate is just a superficial unification of the daimyo, and we hold the righteousness of the Southern Dynasty. Those daimyo will not think that we are here to destroy the country, and naturally they will not resist with all our strength."

"As long as they encounter a slight setback and see that something is not going well, they will alienate the shogunate."

"Although that treaty may make some daimyo with Japanese intentions extremely hostile to us...but if they admire the emperor so much, he and the shogunate will naturally be in harmony with each other, so there is nothing to worry about."

"At worst, seeing that the situation is not good, we will hide directly at sea."

Mu Ying nodded, agreeing with Zhu Su's statement. In his eyes, Zhu Su's safety was always the first priority, and it was not that he underestimated these Japanese. If the Southern Dynasty's combat power was similar to that of the Northern Dynasty, then it would really be It poses no threat to these five thousand Ming troops.

It's just a group of villagers fighting with each other's tactics. How can they defeat Ming elites like them who are equipped with Daicha firearms?

However, it would be even better if the main force of the shogunate could be lured away... Mu Ying lightly twirled her short beard.

"Your Highness, please allow me to return to Ping'an Capital to join my master." Monk Huiru said. "Perhaps the master can find a way to make another contribution to prevent the shogunate from attacking the south first."
