Duduo was in a bad mood. Seeing him like this, he was unhappy and asked with a little annoyance: "What are you doing?"

"Master Beile, Master, you're back!" the guard stuttered with excitement, "General Gangying Erdai has entered the city!"

"What? Ying Erdai is back?" Duduo was shocked and asked quickly.

When Dorgon heard this, he lost his composure and immediately asked, "How much food did you bring back?"

Two months ago, Ying Erdai went to Japan to buy grain on the orders of the two of them. To be honest, under the current circumstances, Dorgon had high hopes for Ying Erdai's trip to Japan. If we could really buy food, the most fatal flaw of the Qing Dynasty could be made up for, and we would not be passive in many things.

"Slave... I haven't seen the food!"

The guard's answer made the two Dorgon brothers stunned, and their surprised expressions suddenly turned ugly.

"You brought so much money here, but you can't buy food? What a useless slave!" Duduo couldn't help but yelled.

Dorgon frowned, and had no intention of welcoming him. He just ordered: "Let him come to see us immediately!"

"Cha!" The guards retreated after receiving the order. About a quarter of an hour later, the guards appeared with Ying Erdai covered in snow.

"Slave Ying O'erdai has met his master, Lord Beile!" Ying O'erdai knelt down and saluted as soon as he came in.

Duduo's face darkened, and when he was about to curse, Dorgon spoke first: "Get up, you have worked hard along the way, how did things go?"

Ying Erdai stood up and saw Duoduo's face, knowing that he was suppressing his anger. If Duoduo hadn't been there, he would have exploded immediately.

He didn't take it seriously and answered Dorgon respectfully: "Working for the master and the Qing Dynasty is a matter of course. It's not hard work!"

At this point, his eyes caught sight of Dodo's dark face as if he was about to speak, and he quickly added: "This slave went to Japan this time and only brought back a boatload of food. In fact, there is not much food in Japan. The most important thing is, The Japanese country has silver mines, so they have no shortage of silver!"

When he heard that he had brought back a boatload of food, it was better than getting nothing at all. Dorgon and Duoduo looked at each other, and their faces finally looked better.

Among them, Dorgon managed to put a smile on his face and said in a better tone: "If you can bring back a boatload of food, it's a boatload of food! You go and rest first!"

Duduo felt that Ying Erdai's trip was a failure, but looking at him, he didn't seem to have this consciousness at all, and he seemed to be excited, which made him very annoyed! After bringing so much money, you only got a boatload of food. Are you still shameless?

Therefore, after Dorgon finished speaking, he saw that Ying Erdai did not seem to listen, so he couldn't help shouting: "Why don't you get out?"

Ying Erdai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then he came back to his senses and knew that his master had this temper, so he could only accept it. He replied respectfully: "This time I brought someone back from Japan. It would be best for Master and Lord Beile to meet each other."

"Who?" Dorgon asked a little surprised when he heard this.

Duduo replied dissatisfiedly: "What are you seeing?"

When Dorgon heard this, he turned to look at Dodo with dissatisfaction. Seeing that he shut up and lowered his head, he turned back and asked with a slightly serious face, "What's the situation?"

Ying Erdai knew that as long as Dorgon was around, he would be the one who made the decision, so he replied respectfully: "Back to Mr. Baylor, the one who makes the decision in the Japanese country now is General Tokugawa, but he took it from General Toyotomi Hideyoshi..."

He introduced the background of the current Japanese state, mainly talking about the fact that before the Japanese state, the princes were fighting for hegemony, and there were continuous wars. In the end, Toyotomi Hideyoshi conquered all the princes and became a complete Japanese state. Then Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted to have land on the mainland and set his sights on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he brazenly launched the Korean War, trying to use Korea as a springboard to finally conquer the Ming Dynasty.

Dorgon and others knew about this matter. In the end, the Japanese did not succeed and finally withdrew their troops after fighting twice.

Ying Erdai introduced the subsequent situation, saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell ill and died during the second war, which forced the Japanese soldiers and horses to retreat. Then Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyori succeeded to the throne and competed with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's general Tokugawa Ieyasu for the world. He was eventually defeated and committed seppuku. Therefore, the current situation of the Tokugawa family controlling Japan happened.

At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate actually had two people in charge. One was the former general named Tokugawa Hidetada, who was similar to the emperor and still held power. The other was the current general named Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was nominally in power. .

The Tokugawa shogunate was afraid of repeating the old path of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so it did not want to launch war with other countries. It just thought about how to consolidate the rule of the Tokugawa family and oppress and guard against various princes. Even now, it is ordered that all parts of the country are not allowed to trade with foreign countries. All traders can only go to Nagasaki and Hirado to trade, because these two places are directly under the jurisdiction of the shogun. As a result, other princes would not be able to enjoy the profits from trade with foreign countries.

After Ying Erdai arrived at the Japanese country, he tried to communicate with the Japanese country and wanted to use the theory that the enemy of the enemy is a friend to communicate with the Japanese country so that the Qing Dynasty could form an alliance with the Japanese country. However, the two shoguns were not interested and refused directly.

When Duduo heard this, he was a little impatient and said: "I have said so much, but it is of no use! It is really disappointing!"

Originally, in their estimation, the Japanese and the Ming were mortal enemies, and there was a high possibility that the Qing could form an alliance with the Japanese to deal with the Ming together. But things went counterproductive, which made both of them feel very disappointed!

However, compared to Duo Duo, Duo ErGun understood that Ying Erdai's remarks about these things that did not seem to have anything to do with the Qing Dynasty were probably not explaining the reasons for his failure on the mission, but explaining the background and what he had said before. You must meet the person you brought, he must be related!

Therefore, after Dodo complained, he stretched out his hand to stop Dodo from continuing. Then he stared at Ying Erdai and asked: "Then who is the person you brought back? Can he change this situation? , can it bring benefits to the Qing Dynasty?"

When Ying Erdai heard this, he finally regained the excitement that had disappeared before. He nodded vigorously and said: "Master Beile is wise, how will the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese country be in the end? It has a lot to do with the man brought by the slave!"

At this point, he finally answered the original question: "The slaves in the Japanese country publicized the victory of the Qing Dynasty over the Ming Dynasty. In the end, many people secretly contacted the slaves. This person is the most important one among them!"
