Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

For all these changes, although Tokugawa Iemitsu did not go to those Western barbarian countries to see them, he can still figure out the key points.

Because the entire Wa Kingdom is now being overwhelmed by Daming—even if Da Ming did not directly attack the situation, but with the continuous attachment of Korea, Ryukyu, and Nanyang feudal vassals, the form of Wa Kingdom is becoming more and more difficult every day.

So Tokugawa Iemitsu was very sad.

I also have a heart for Daming. Although I can't do what North Korea and Ryukyu did, I'm still much stronger than other foreign domains, right?

The simplest example is that when I was playing closed doors, I never thought of shutting Da Ming's father out, so why do I still feel so sad now?

Is it necessary to let the Japanese state have a seal attached to it?

Faced with Shen Hao's request to meet him, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not dare to be negligent, and hurried into the Wa King's Palace to have a general discussion with Zhengren, and then took his staff and went to Kyushu Island.

The land area of ​​the Wa country is really a bit small - only three days have passed since Shen Hao sent his men to inform Tokugawa Iemitsu, and then when Tokugawa Iemitsu rushed to Kyushu Island.

Facing the complicated dishes, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt a little bit inexperienced. From the beginning of serving to the present, Shen Hao has been persuading himself to eat the dishes, but he didn't mention half a word about the serious business. .

Shen Hao didn't wipe his hands until he finished eating an unknown meal, and said with a smile: "General Tokugawa, Shen will leave tomorrow to return to Daming to report on his duties. What matters here in Kyushu Island, we still have to I need your attention."

Iemitsu Tokugawa nodded, paused and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Shen. Tokugawa has also prepared some gifts for Mr. Shen, and there are some others that need to be dedicated to the emperor. Tokugawa is a foreign minister, and it is difficult for him to enter the capital without an edict. , I have to ask Shen Jun for everything?"

Shen Hao smiled and said: "It's easy to say, Shen will definitely live up to the trust. General Tokugawa is the uncle of the queen of your country. After the queen of your country marries me, King Liao of the Ming Dynasty, General Tokugawa will be a relative of the state. The country is good for the whole family. Between a family, everything is easy to talk about."

Tokugawa Masamune nodded his thanks again - I believed your ghost!

After the two of them laughed and made some polite remarks, Shen Hao went on to say: "Speaking of the marriage between the queen of your country and me, King Liao of Ming Dynasty, a certain Shen suddenly remembered that in the 18th year of Chongzhen, His Highness the King of Liao To marry the queen of your country, it is estimated that Shen's return to the country to report on his duties is also related to this?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's face, which was still smiling just now, froze suddenly, and he smiled again: "Yes, I'm going to get married next year, I'm really happy for Xingzi."

Shen Hao nodded with a smile, and continued: "Speaking of which, Ezo Island is your country's dowry to His Highness Xingzi, and it will be jointly owned by His Highness King Liao and His Highness Xingzi from now on.

But there are still a lot of barbarians on that island. After His Royal Highness King Liao and His Royal Highness Xingzi get married next year, will they continue to lead troops to eliminate those barbarians? "

Seeing that Shen Hao had already shown up, Tokugawa Iemitsu stopped talking about useless things, but sat up straight and looked at Shen Hao: "What does Governor Yi Shen mean?"

Shen Hao said: "As a courtier, you always have to share the worries of your superiors. There are many barbarians on the Eizo Island, and Shen is uneasy. General Tokugawa is the general who conquered the barbarians of the Japanese country..."

Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally heard Shen Hao's voice, nodded his head and said: "If Tokugawa leads the troops to clear up, it's all right, but the Ezo wild nature is cruel and easy to kill, and if you want to clear up everything, unless With the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, the military strength of the entire Wa Kingdom is really insufficient?"

Shen Hao picked up his teacup and took a sip slowly, then said with a smile: "Speaking of military strength, the Japanese warriors are pretty good, if they are equipped with my Ming's weapons, they will be trained by my Ming's officers, don't you know? "

Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart suddenly despaired, and the shadow in his heart began to expand without limit-finally, did he start to reach out to the army?

Since the Kyushu Island Lease Act, the entire Wa country has been living under the shadow of Daming. It is no exaggeration to say that any Wa country person must be able to avoid one thing in his life-Da Ming.

From the moment of birth of almost any Wa people, the midwife who delivered the baby is likely to have been trained by the Ming people, and the snacks and drinks from the time of birth may have been sold by the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

When they grow up and start working, it is very likely that they are all shops or industries controlled by Ming businessmen. Until they die, they may have to be buried according to Ming etiquette.

In more than ten years, the entire Ming Dynasty has infiltrated all aspects of the Wa Kingdom. Except for the shogunate and the military that have not been infiltrated by the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the place has a faint shadow of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the court, in fact, is not without the shadow of Daming in it, especially after the marriage contract between Xingzi and King Liao was settled in the 13th year of Chongzhen, Daming's influence on the Wa Kingdom was even greater.

Even the people of the Wa Kingdom began to agree that Daming is the master of the whole world—of course, the Wa Kingdom and Daming are related by marriage, and the people of the Wa Kingdom themselves are probably similar to having children at home, and they are much nobler than those servants!

It doesn't matter if one or two people have this kind of thought. After all, the population of Wa country is not too small, and life has improved again in recent years, especially after those warriors who worked as supervisors in Ming country came back to publicize it, this kind of situation occurred. Random thoughts are normal.

But when the whole Wa country began to slowly agree with this idea, it became very scary, especially when I even had a little bit of agreement...

Looking at the table in front of him, Tokugawa Iemitsu finally resisted the urge to lift the table, nodded and said: "Presumably after being equipped with Ming's military equipment, the Japanese army will also go to a higher level, right?

It's just that it's okay to ask the officers of the Ming Dynasty to teach the Japanese army. After all, the warriors of the Japanese country are relatively wild, easy to restrain and difficult to train. "

Shen Hao squinted his eyes and said: "General Tokugawa is also a great talent who has read a lot of poetry and books, don't you know about Sun Wuzi's old stories?"

Of course Iemitsu Tokugawa knew about Sun Wuzi's past. The court ladies who trained the King of Wu, if they failed to give the order the first time, they would let it go because the order was unknown. "The general is in the army, and the emperor's order is not acceptable" this sentence.

The meaning of Shen Hao is also the same. After the instructors of Ming Dynasty came, it didn't matter whether the warriors of the Japanese country were trained or not-killed a few leaders, and the rest would naturally be honest.

The reason is this, and doing so will definitely subdue the Japanese warriors.

Tokugawa Iemitsu believes that even if such a trick is not used, the officers of the Ming army will definitely be able to subdue the Japanese warriors, because the Japanese army now looks at Daming's army as well-behaved as a grandson looks at his grandfather...

But after agreeing in this way, Tokugawa Iemitsu still felt a little unwilling: "Even so, it is not easy to pacify Ezo before the Liao king gets married next year? It is better to let the warriors of the Wa kingdom use Daming's weapons first." Equipment, make plans after Ezo is calmed down?"

Shen Hao said with a smile: "If only relying on the Japanese warriors, I am afraid that it may not be possible to pacify Ezo in 30 years after Chongzhen, but if you add the teachings of my Ming military officer, I am afraid that Ezo can be completely pacified within 15 years of Chongzhen.

Of course, in order to make the warriors of the Wa Kingdom adapt, and to prove that the Wa Kingdom can go further under the guidance of our officers of the Ming Dynasty, it is better to select some warriors to set up another battalion, taught by the officers of the Ming Dynasty, and then promote them after training. What does General Chuan think? "

Tokugawa Iemitsu endured it again and again, and finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, according to the governor, Tokugawa will select capable warriors after he returns, and when Ezo is pacified, the warriors in this battalion will become Xingzi Your Highness's dowry."

Shen Hao is very satisfied, as long as a seed can be planted in the Japanese army now, with the brainwashing ability of Jin Yiwei and those in Dongchang, he is not afraid that the warriors in this battalion will not become loyal to Daming.

Especially after the warriors of this battalion are trained, they will use this as a basis to spread to other Japanese armies. In the end, the entire Japanese army will become Ming's non-staff military force, and the entire Japanese army still has to run?

After raising the teacup to greet Tokugawa, Shen Hao continued: "Speaking of which, there is another matter of getting rich. I wonder if General Tokugawa will consider it?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's mind is now full of the army and military power, and he also wonders about the direction of the entire Wa country in the future. How can he care about making money or not? He just let out a soft voice and asked: "I don't know what the Governor-General said. What's the matter?"

Shen Hao said: "My Ming Dynasty recently excavated the Suez Canal at the Ottoman side. General Tokugawa must know about it?"

The Tokugawa family nodded and said: "That's right, our country has also sent thousands of warriors to Osman to serve as supervisors, so naturally we have some understanding."

Nodding his head, Shen Hao continued: "General Tokugawa must also know that my Ming Dynasty still lacks labor?

Of course, the people of your country are not allowed to do labor. After all, we will be a family in the future. Since the people of Ming Dynasty will not be allowed to do things like labor, naturally the people of your country will not be allowed to do it.

The meaning of the governor is that the people of the Japanese country have two choices. One is to go to Ottoman to do some easy work to earn money, and the other is to form another group of warriors to find labor. "

Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head and said, "Finding labor is of course very good, but where should we go now? Go north from Beishan? Go west? Or where?"

Shen Hao laughed and said: "To the west of Ottoman, there are many small countries over there. It is not easy to find laborers? As long as the warriors of your country accept the training of my Ming officers and equip them with our Ming weapons, those barbarians are not warriors. opponent?"

Thinking about the Baiyis he had seen before, Tokugawa Iemitsu said proudly: "Of course, with those mere Baiyis, it is naturally impossible for me to be the opponent of Yamato Samurai."

After finishing speaking, Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little discouraged again: "But, there is still a problem here."

Chapter 735 Go to the end of the world and see (the third update of the 4000-word chapter)

Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "Even though our Japanese warriors are stronger than those white slaves, how can we get to the place where those white slaves are?"

Shen Hao smiled and said: "Since Shen said so, it is because Xin Lehou once had a letter with Shen, saying that there are a lot of white slaves in the far west, but there is no manpower, which led to the construction of the Suez Canal. The speed is extremely slow, and I asked Shen to find a group of warriors from your country and let them go to find labor."

Xin Lehou was naturally the leader of the nobles sent to the Ottoman side by Emperor Chongzhen to be responsible for the restart of the entire Suez Canal. In theory, except for the Jin Yiwei, Xin Lehou had the final say on the entire Ottoman side.

Just when Shen Hao tried every means to deceive Tokugawa Iemitsu, Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, had already started scolding his mother-in-law in Egypt - if it wasn't for the fear of being known by the Jinyiwei, Liu Wenbing would have wanted to scold Emperor Chongzhen even more.

Liu Wenbing is the son of Emperor Chongzhen's uncle, and he is really a cousin with Emperor Chongzhen. Speaking of which, he once had a childhood friendship.
