eldest son of Ming dynasty

In July, Yan Song also arrived in Ningbo.

He left the port before Jing Yang, and when he didn't have enough time to board the ship, he heard that Jing Yang was also going to sea.As for the imperial court's recognition of maritime territory as territory, he was not surprised.

The emperor's thoughts were already familiar to him.

Whether it's chieftains from various places or overseas vassals like this, today's Ming Dynasty doesn't care about anything, it must be under the control of the Celestial Empire.

In fact, Yan Song arrived in Ningbo earlier. He spent some time looking at this beautiful place. Compared with Guizhou, this place with prosperous trade and prosperous commerce was an eye-opener for him.

At the same time, we still have to wait for the goods to be loaded, the navy to replenish supplies, etc.

But when he actually went to sea, his suffering came again. This guy got seasick.

Wu Wending had no choice. There were no women in the army, so he could only ask one of the merchants accompanying him to serve him.

Unfortunately, Yan Song's stomach was churning, but he lacked interest, but he took advantage of it. He was tired of lying in the room, so he wanted to walk on the deck. When he met Wu Wending, he asked: "Jing Haibo, this world is so vast. There’s no end in sight, when can we get to Japan?”

Wu Wending saw the look on Yan Song's face and was a little worried, "Yan Butang, it's only been four days since we set off, and we still have more than a month to go."

Yan Song asked the emperor to appoint a governor, the governor of Japan.

This official position is a bit strange. The Ming Dynasty did not manage a large base or population in Japan, unlike the original governors of Zhejiang and Fujian, let alone the governors of the three sides.

However, Zhu Houzhao considered that after all, Japan was hanging overseas and far away from China. It was not his turn as the emperor to deal with any issues. In fact, it was up to the officials sent to make decisions on their own.

So, since he has been asked to do this, why not give him this name?To do big things, you can't be too stingy in terms of fame and position, which will make you appear narrow-minded.

And since he is the governor, Wu Wending can only be called the Ministry of Honor.

"It will take more than a month!!" Yan Song screamed, "Why is it that Japan is so far away?"

"Fuyan Budang, sit down." Wu Wending said consolingly: "We have experienced seasickness before going to sea. It will take a while and you will get better as you gradually get used to it. Budang, please bear with it."

Having said that, Wu Wending was still a little worried. Ever since he reported the silver mountain in Japan to the emperor, everything had changed.

They also had an important mission on this trip. At this time, Yan Weizhong suddenly suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. How could he not be worried?

Yan Song lay down and covered his forehead and said, "These discomforts are bearable. I'm just worried about missing His Majesty's important event."

The emperor's instructions were still in his ears, and he did not dare to forget them for a moment.

The sea is endless, and above the waves, their ships are big, but they are just small boats. If there is a slight accident, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed. For the first time he goes to sea, he doesn't know if he will survive to land in Japan.

"Jing Haibo, how are you doing?"

"Navy training and adapting to taking a boat are basic. You don't have to worry about it."

"That's right. I feel like the world is spinning and my head is spinning. It's just me who has something to do. That's okay. The navy can still be used."

"Budang...what are you going to do?"

Ming Dynasty went to sea to other countries. These things have just started in the past two years. The future described by the emperor does not seem to be easy to reach, but I heard that Yan Weizhong is very considerate of the holy will.

"His Majesty said that the country of Japan is afraid of power but not moral." Although Yan Song felt uncomfortable, the regulations were still clear. "Thanks to Jing Haibo's foresight, 3000 people were left in Japan at that time."

"good."

"3000 people...Jing Haibo, don't blame me for speaking abruptly. Japanese people are obedient on the surface, but in fact they must be constantly moving secretly. Although I have never been there, I am very confident in my judgment. So we have been away for more than half a year. , maybe there is something going on. Of course, it is just the right time to find an excuse to start fighting over these things. This will trouble Jing Haibo."

This guy smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, if you fight, you will win."

Yan Song was not so relaxed. Of course, his face was ugly now, so he couldn't tell.

He felt that even if the Japanese were weak at the moment, they would definitely try their best to find their weaknesses. They would go on an expedition and there were only 3000 people guarding there. He was actually a little worried.

Although Japan is a small country with few people, not to mention 30, but 3 horses and horses can always be gathered together. How can it be sure to win against ten people?

Therefore, even the emperor adopted a strategy of combining hardness and softness.

Instead of occupying all of this country, using a port area as a foothold and developing trade at the same time is equivalent to setting up horse markets in some border areas in the north.

"Jing Haibo's confidence in victory is commendable, but this battle is different from the battle of Ming and Meng." Wu Wending was a scholar and a scholar. Even if he became a military general, he was still a wise military commander. After thinking about it for a while, he had gained something. "The Mongols live in the grasslands and have always been a nuisance to our Central Plains. Whenever we raise troops, we will destroy their lairs and capture their royal courts. This is indeed different from Japan. After killing the people, who will sell the goods of the merchant ships along the way?"

Yan Song praised, "Heroes have similar views, and Jing Haibo's words really hit the mark. The main purpose of the imperial court's use of troops in Japan was to force them to surrender and act in accordance with the will of the heaven. Of course, the silver mine matter was also included. Therefore, this The main purpose of the battle is to make them bow their heads, and if you want to have such a good effect...to capture the thief, you must first capture the king."

"The Ouchi clan of Ishimi Province itself is considered a relatively powerful force in Japan. In addition to this, there is the Hosokawa clan. The Ashikaga clan of the Muromachi shogunate is not that strong."

Yan Song has done a lot of research along the way.

As the Ming Dynasty began to explore the Japanese island, its understanding of it became deeper and deeper.

Because Japanese culture was born out of the Central Plains, a closer look shows that it is the same as the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains. This is of course not difficult for Yan Song. "In addition to catching the thief first, capture the king first. It is really difficult for us to control so many countries in such a small place. It is thought that the forces with good obedience should be supported in different regions, with the Japanese ruling the Japanese as the main force, and the Han people ruling the Japanese as the supplement. In this way, the dogs will not be driven into panic."

"Well, that makes sense."

Anyone who has read the book will naturally know that you can't push people into desperate situations. If you just show off your courage and fight fiercely, others will have no other choice but to fight you, and they will have no choice but to resist desperately.

Once a few conditions were set, Yan Song already had an idea in his mind. He would first hit the hard ones, then select a few obedient ones, and use these 'minions' to carry out partial transformation. He would not show up at ordinary times and let them fight with each other. He only needed to Maintain a rough balance behind your back to ensure that you are not threatened.Then he can dig up silver mountains and engage in trade. In this way, he can report to the emperor for rewards!

That day in Qianqing Palace, the emperor had roughly this purpose.

But a Japanese woman...

"Ah..." Yan Song was thinking about it when the waves hit the boat and rocked it hard. Ordinary people couldn't feel it, but he got seasick and his reaction got worse, "Dizziness, dizziness, dizziness..."

The little maid next to him immediately pressed her cool fingers on his forehead and started kneading it.

Wu Wending, who was watching on the sidelines, was a little stunned. To be honest, everyone is a man and can understand that finding a woman for him also means this, but...

Don’t take me out of your room!
In public, in front of outsiders, this is a bit presumptuous.

In fact, he had known Yan Song before. He had been an attendant of the emperor, and he seemed to be quite popular with the Holy Heart. But his style was different from ordinary people. Maybe it was because he was proud of the spring breeze and had a bad horse. He invited the Holy Favor, and he was from the southwest. Since he was from Japan, the emperor loved to use him, so naturally he acted a little more indulgently.

I'm afraid he will be a traitor in the future.

But Wu Wending didn't dare to say more.

Yan Song didn't care at all. He pretended to use his dizziness as a cover, "Look, I've been negligent. Jing Haibo is also working hard. Or should he order someone to find one for you?"

"No, no, no." Wu Wending said with a bit of uneasiness, "I am different from the army. We cannot have these things in the army. Otherwise, we will violate taboos and set a bad example, and the officers and soldiers will gossip. In the future, I will have no face to face His Majesty when I come to the Imperial Palace."

"Hey, you don't have to be so restrained. Your Majesty is not as unkind as you think." Yan Song relaxed his body and changed into a more comfortable position, "Working for Your Majesty means doing the job well and to His Majesty's satisfaction. Everything else is just small sections.”

Wu Wending didn't dare to listen to this.

Anyway, Yan Song is focused on doing things and there is no conflict with him, so just let him be.

He believed that Holy Grace could not compare to Yan Song.

After about ten days at sea, Yan Song's condition gradually recovered. In fact, he had lost weight. He vomited more when he was seasick and ate less. He still couldn't eat. He suffered a lot, but now he can slow down. He drank some porridge slowly. At the same time, he was getting closer to Japan, so he became a little more serious.

This guy with a literary background began to be interested in warships, artillery and soldier training. Wu Wending saw that he was quite serious in acquiring new knowledge, and immediately put away his slight contempt for him.

In fact, it's not how Yan Song concentrates. The main reason is that this guy has a clear mind. He has floated so far on the sea, and his life is in the hands of these warships and navy. He really feels uneasy if he doesn't know clearly.

He discussed with Wu Wending, "It's better to be careful in a foreign country. When we dock in a few days, everyone will not get off the ship and send a vanguard to get in touch with General Xu Yan who is staying in Japan. What does Jing Haibo think? ?”

Although Wu Wending was not stupid, he did not expect that he would be affected by the previous experience and subconsciously felt that Xu Yan would not be a problem.

But if you really think about it, it’s better to be careful when going out.

In case Xu Yan was in trouble, the Japanese would always keep an eye on the situation at sea and then ambush them when they disembarked...

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Wending felt a chill down his back.I have to say that this Yan Song is really quite capable at what he does.

"Okay! There's still time, so I'll send three teams there."

Yan Song touched his beard and half-squinted his eyes, standing on the deck and looking into the distance, "The last time the Ming Dynasty suddenly conquered Japan, the other side was caught off guard, but this time it was not the case. According to normal people's thinking, someone else would break into the house. Why is it so easy to give in? Even if the boss gives in, the other brothers always have impulsive personalities, right? Plus there is such a long time to prepare, maybe there is a trap waiting for us on the shore. So. You and I have to figure out how to deal with situations and situations, and have good strategies in mind so that we can be calm and unhurried."

The sea breeze blew by, and Wu Wending suddenly woke up. He understood, no wonder the emperor asked Xing Guan to send such a person to take action!
