My Daming New Empire

"Distribute the swords, bows and arrows, and order the red guards to go to the surrounding counties to collect all the horses."

Wang Bin was shocked, and quickly knelt down and begged, "Your Highness, you must not force it. This is no different from treason!"

But Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "I just want to make this gesture, I want to see if my father really doesn't have my son in his heart anymore."

Wang Bin didn't dare to persuade him any more, he knew that His Royal Highness had inherited the Emperor's headstrong side, but he was not open-minded enough.Now that King of Han wants to fight the emperor, these subordinates can only survive in the cracks.

However, the King of Han only ordered the collection of horses, but did not allow the use of force, so he would be fine by cheating, as long as he could get the horses.As for looting, he absolutely dare not.

Walking out of the gate of King Han's Mansion, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.The only blame is that I didn't have the chance to seek refuge with the prince at the beginning, but now I can only go one way to the dark.

Thanks to the super cowardly hairball, Qi Fengyun, the little lunatic, and the governors of the three provinces for their rewards, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhu Zhanji recently encountered another troublesome thing, that is, outside the naval headquarters, a large number of envoys and students from Japan gathered in the daytime, crying and begging.

Although there are many Japanese traitors in this era, most of them still care about the motherland no matter what.

Under the organized arrangement of the envoys, these Japanese students took turns to go to battle and report to the Navy Headquarters every day, rain or shine.

They didn't make trouble, and they didn't obstruct the traffic on Chang'an Avenue, but they all wore mourning clothes and cried when they saw Zhu Zhanji's horse team coming.

Seeing them is like seeing a bunch of mourners.

Zhu Zhanji can't beat or scold.Ying Tian Mansion now has hundreds of envoys and students from small countries, and even nobles from some small countries came to Ying Tian Mansion and never left.

If Daming uses violence against these people in Dongpu, then this incident will do too much damage to Daming's reputation.

If he couldn't afford it, he could only hide.

He had never been so aggrieved before in this era.This kind of grievance also made him more angry, and he was going to vent his anger on their clansmen when he arrived in Dongpu.

He didn't want to occupy the country of Japan. Except for some gold, silver and sulfur, this country didn't have any more resources at all.

In today's era, fertile land is the real resource!

The Dongying people have gold and silver, but people's lives are so poor. The key reason is that they have no fertile land.

Without fertile land, there would be no food, and without fertile land, there would be no cotton and linen. People would not even be able to meet their basic living needs. People would have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. No matter how much gold and silver there was, it would only cause a primary financial crisis, that is, currency depreciation.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji only plans to occupy the gold-rich Zuodu Island, Hokkaido, and the Iwami Silver Mountain, and the rest of the places are still left to the autonomy of the Japanese people.

As long as they control their food and cotton, they are not afraid that these Dongying people will be disobedient.

In the same way, I have no interest in Zhu Zhanji in North Korea. The population is large and the land is small. Occupying these places is not worth the loss.

Now Daming spends 200 million silver in military expenses in Jiaozhi every year, but only receives [-] silver in taxes.

If it weren't for Zhu Di's insistence on expansion, Zhu Zhanji also knew the importance of Jiaozhi's food production and as a bridgehead to control the Nanyang region, and I'm afraid he would really give up Jiaozhi as in the original history.

Before the Little Ice Age was approaching, the importance of the grain production areas in the south was far greater than the discovery of more gold and silver mines in Ming Dynasty.

As long as Ming controls the complete island chain from Ryukyu, to Jeju Island, to Tsushima Island, Sado Island, Hokkaido, and Sakhalin Island, the Aleutian Islands, Dongying, which has only three large islands, will never Will roll over.

Moreover, economic control is far less worrying than military occupation, and it is more profitable.

The expedition is imminent, and the army for this expedition is only less than 5 more than the previous year, but with the 15 troops staying on Jeju Island and the [-] troops on Tsushima Island, the total strength exceeds [-].

Among them, the navy alone has 11. For this number of expeditions, except for the Fourth Army stationed in Guangdong, the other three major naval bases are only short of breaking their heads.

They are not just for credit, but because of this kind of actual combat, they can effectively exercise the soldiers' ability to coordinate combat and enhance their combat effectiveness.

But this time, the three major fleets all adopted the method of veterans leading recruits. Only less than 3 soldiers participated in two battles a year ago, and the other 4 were recruits who had never actually fought.

In addition, there are more than [-] soldiers drawn from the southern guards who are good at fighting in the mountains. According to the division of later generations, they should belong to the army.

The remaining more than 600 people include Zhu Zhanji's young army of 5000 people, Habayashi guards of [-] people, as well as various doctors and cooks, as well as the timekeepers of Sitianjian and the draftsmen of the Ministry of War.

In addition, the Secretary of General Administration and Honglu Temple also sent a large number of interpreters and guides, plus the 4 personnel stationed on the two islands, this time there will be a total of 15 combatants.

The deployment of so many people is a relatively complicated systematic work. Zhu Zhanji is in charge of the overall situation for the first time, and he is very busy.

But his coach is more in name, busy.In fact, with him or without him, the generals and the Ministry of War under the various preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

But compared with the transfer of personnel on land, the navy is still much simpler.

The army on land is dispatched, walking dozens of miles a day, the travel arrangements of the personnel, and the setting up of camps will test the ability of the coach.

Moreover, the army's operations are changeable, and it also tests the ability of a general, while the navy has more of the upper hand, and the chance of winning with equipment is greater.

"Your Highness, Commander Ji has sent a letter saying that he has persuaded Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, the younger brother of the fourth general Ashikaga Yoshichi, and Ashikaga Manlong, the uncle of the Ashikaga clan, to unite and decide to rebel."

"Oh, this is good news. Before the army arrived, Dongpu itself was already in chaos."

After receiving a stack of thick letters from Li Liang, he asked, "Where is the messenger? Let him come to the palace to see me."

The entrance of the Navy Headquarters is occupied by Dongying people, and Zhu Zhanji has been handling official business in the Donghuamen Consultation Department these days.No matter how courageous those Dongying people are, they dare not come to block the gate of the palace. This will only arouse conflicts, otherwise killing them would be in vain.

Opening Ji Gang's letter, it is not so much a letter as it is a summary of Ji Gang's work in Japan.

In the past few months since the army left Japan, Zhuang Jing burned Nagasaki, Osaka Prefecture, and Jin Chun was blocked from going to Japan for negotiations.

Today's Dongpu is ready to fight against Ming's army.

Due to the failure of the two Eastern Expeditions of the Yuan Dynasty, Dongying, which has natural marine dangers, is still very confident in self-protection.

Since ancient times, Dongpu has never been conquered by any foreign race, and they have sufficient confidence in themselves.

But Ji Gang did not stop in Dongying. On the one hand, he sent a large group of people to learn about Dongying's defense system. Hold to a flower inside and outside.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the son of the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.Since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, his wife Hino Yeko, and his second wife Hino Yasuko had no sons, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was established as his heir, and Hino Yasuko adopted him as an adopted son.

But in the year when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became a monk and passed on the throne to the nine-year-old Ashikaga Yoshichi, Ashikaga Yoshinori was born.

Yoshimitsu Ashikaga dotes on Yoshimitsu very much, so the relationship between Yoshimitsu and Yoshimitsu is not good.Due to preference, in the sixth year of Yongle, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu introduced his beloved son Ashikaga Yoshitsuru to Emperor Komatsu before he died, trying to get Yoshimitsu the emperor's support.

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshichi was paid by Yoshimitsu to the mansion and was responsible for the security affairs of Kyoto.But after the death of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the 22-year-old Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took real power, and the 14-year-old Yoshimitsu and his uncle Ashikaga Yoshitaka's faction were suppressed.

Ashikaga Yoshichi knew that Kitayamadi was the home of the Ashikaga family, and his aunt Yasuko Hino was powerful, so he moved the capital.

Politically, Ashikaga Yoshihito held the assistants of the shogunate veteran Shibo Yoshisho and others who served as the leader. He changed Yoshimitsu's open policy and restored the political characteristics of the "Samurai regime" and became more conservative.

He resigned the title of "Emperor Taishang" given to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu by Emperor Komatsu, and stopped trade with the Ming Dynasty.He also proclaimed himself the courtyard of the Empress Komatsu.

At the same time, he asked his younger brother Fazun to become a monk at Ninna Temple, a monastery of the royal family, in order to enhance the influence of the shogunate in the court.

This temple is equivalent to the ancestral temple, and non-royal personnel cannot become monks.His Holiness is also the second non-royal member to become a monk at Ninna Temple after the son of the Jiujo Taoist School in the Kamakura period, Fazhu, became a monk at Ninna Temple.
