Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu waved his hands, got up and walked to the small conference room, saying: "Excuse me, come, it's such a hot day, drink some herbal tea to relieve the heat."

Fu Tao came over, sat on Zhu Xu's left side, drank a sip of tea, and then said what happened just now.

Zhu Xu had a strategy for the Wa Kingdom, holding his teacup, squinting his eyes, and said: "The Wa Kingdom also has talents, it seems that they have investigated a lot of news about me, and this is a good choice for me."

Fu Tao was not an idiot, and said: "Your Majesty, if we go to mine, we will definitely solve the Japanese rebellion in Yuancheng, Amakusa. This is tantamount to helping the Japanese to quell the chaos. At that time... I am afraid that the silver mine is not sure whether it is real or not."

Zhu Xu glanced at Fu Tao, wandering in his heart, and then smiled and said: "No matter what the Tokugawa shogunate's plan is, the Shimabara Rebellion is their death spot! It doesn't matter whether there is this silver mine or not, the important thing is , The land of Shimabara cannot be peaceful. During this period of time, the Tokugawa shogunate and the four Amakusa truces, one is quietly gathering an army and making full preparations, the other is consolidating its forces and preparing to counterattack, this is what I want."

Fu Tao listened thoughtfully, and said: "Your Majesty, are the people of the Japanese country trying to fool us, and they just hope that we will stand by and give them time and opportunity?"

Zhu Xu hummed, nodded and said: "The Grand Marshal's Mansion has deduced it, there is a possibility. I have ordered Satsuma Fan and Zuo Liangyu and others not to move, and let them fight by themselves. The Tiancao Fourth Department and the original city are not so serious. It is easy to destroy, and once it drags on, both sides will have to come to us.”

Fu Tao looked hesitant, and said: "Your Majesty, what if the people in Shimabara are defeated? Will the Wa people take the opportunity to attack Satsuma, or even attack my Ming base?"

Just as Zhu Xu was about to speak, Cao Huachun hurried in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, the chairman of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Shenlong Mansion told Mrs. Chen that the Japanese asked them to shell the grassland."

Fu Tao's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this Japanese man is double-faced and three-faced. He clearly has a plan. He is deliberately acting for us and delaying time!"

Chapter 1095 Conspiracy Continues

The Shimabara Rebellion, or the "Shimabara, Amakusa Rebellion", had a great impact on Japan at the end of the Warring States period. The "closing the country and closing the country" is completed, and it has completely entered the state of sealing the sea and sealing the country.

Zhu Xu only "remembered" this battle and knew nothing about other things.

But he knew that this was an opportunity to insert himself into the Wa country, and he couldn't miss it!

Seeing that Fu Tao was agitated, Zhu Xu smiled and said, "The Japanese people have always been cunning, so it's not surprising at all. Now that I, Ming, basically control the sea lanes in East Asia, the Dutch don't dare to mess around without my permission. They Sending the news is nothing more than testing my mind."

Fu Tao thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, what should we do then? We can't let the Wa Kingdom stop. If they think that I can be deceived by Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid they will invade North Korea again."

Zhu Xu's eyes turned cold, and he said chillingly: "It is said that Tokugawa Iemitsu sent a general to Jiuguo Island, and the army under his command is more than [-], and he is going to wipe out this rebellion in one go."

Fu Tao looked at Zhu Xu, but didn't speak this time.

Zhu Xu turned to the tea cover, and said as if talking to himself: "More than a hundred thousand troops, hehe, the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate really surprised me... The navy has already moved north, and it will stay between Shikoku and Kukoku. When the Tokugawa shogunate goes to war, the navy will bombard the Kanmon Strait and cut off the supply of the more than [-] troops. I really want to know if the Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn’t care about the more than [-] troops!"

Fu Tao felt a chill in his heart. It is unimaginable that more than [-] troops have no supplies!

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he looked at Fu Tao again and said, "I'll meet that Japanese man if I have nothing to do. The acting is better. No, I'll come here for real. These silver mines will belong to me in the future. It won't be long before I can see you." Get it, and make preparations in advance!"

Fu Tao understood, and said: "Yes. The minister will come to that field tomorrow and drag him on purpose."

With more than [-] troops, one more day is one day's consumption!What is consumed is not only the huge food and grass, but also the morale, morale, and will of the army!

Zhu Xu nodded, and suddenly said: "Currency replacement needs to be stepped up, and it is best to complete it in the next two or three years. Now that the 'New Deal' is gradually on the right track, a series of policies have been implemented and implemented. Mutual support for other aspects is especially important. It's important, we can't wait, we have to speed up."

Fu Tao bowed and said: "Yes. The minister has already stepped up efforts this year, and the local government offices have already asked all the government, merchants, and common people to abandon the old currency. The proportion of the court's expenditure on the new currency is also increasing. Tens of millions, I believe, in two or three years, it is enough to replace all the coins in my Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that Fu Tao was so confident, Zhu Xu didn't say anything against him.

Even Fu Tao underestimated the Ming people's Tibetan silver.Not to mention these years, since the Tang Dynasty, the silver flowing into the Central Plains Dynasty has never been cut off. It is worth billions. How can it be completely replaced by exchanging three to two hundred million.

Now Daming is in a transition from the old to the new era, many things have been introduced into the new, and too many things are no longer the same.Most of Zhu Xu's current reforms are "preparing for a rainy day". Officials are still vague about their responsibilities and future, especially the real situation of affairs within the scope of management, and the future development is still vague, and they move forward cautiously.

All of these have to be done slowly, there is no rush.

Zhu Xu was patient, and explained a few words to Fu Tao, then looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Let people from the Military Intelligence Department come to see me, as well as those from the General Staff Department."

Jin Yiwei's military intelligence agencies and personnel are now quietly and orderly assigned to the Military Intelligence Department of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Not long after Fu Tao left, He Xilian, head of the Military Intelligence Department, and Qian Jinxiao, head of the Staff Office, appeared in front of Zhu Xu's imperial table.

After hearing Zhu Xu's words, He Xilian pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the situation on Jiuguo Island is quite complicated. According to the information collected by the minister, the rebellion on Jiuguo Island was actually caused by Catholicism, and most of them were Christians participating in the war. The leader is a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, named Shiro Tokisada, who has fifty or sixty thousand young men who can fight, and is now gathered near the original castle. The Tokugawa shogunate sent to conquer is called Itakura Shigemasao, the Tokugawa family Hikari's confidants, combined with the strength of the surrounding countries, say at least [-] to [-], and more than [-]. It should be easy to wipe out, but they have lost three times in a row and suffered heavy losses. Tokugawa Iemitsu is angry and wants to replace him At the same time, behind these rioters are the shadows of Date, Otomo and other feudal states, and of course, the Satsuma clan."

Zhu Xu kept nodding his head as he listened, and the Military Intelligence Department's understanding was quite detailed.

"What do you think of the staff office?" Zhu Xu looked at Qian Jinxiao, the head of the staff office.

Qian Jinxiao stepped forward, took out a map of the Nine Kingdoms of the Wa Kingdom and spread it on Zhu Xuyu's desk, and said, "Your Majesty, the Wa Kingdom is really a disaster for my Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Wa Kingdom must never be allowed to set foot on North Korea again! In addition to allowing the Wa Kingdom to quarrel within the Nine Kingdoms, my Ming Dynasty also needs to put enough pressure on the Wa Kingdom. The staff office has made several plans. First, the Satsuma clan supports the rebellious people and continues to fight against the Wa Kingdom shogunate. The slightly remote vassal states around, such as Tsushima, can even be tested in Shikoku Island. In addition, I think that the northernmost island of Wa Kingdom, which is connected to Sakhalin Island, can be taken. I don’t care too much, there are only a few vassal states above, they are not strong, and they can be taken easily, and this place is very close to Edo, so it will definitely give the Tokugawa shogunate a huge shock!"

Zhu Xu listened, looked at the map, and couldn't help but flicker.Qian Jinxiao's words aroused his great interest.

Qian Jinxiao glanced at Zhu Xu's side face, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you can build a naval and army base on this island, step by step and devote yourself to the camp, whether it is to deter the Japanese people now, weaken their strength, or In the future, it will be of great benefit to destroy the Wa Kingdom."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, and the sound of a horse's hooves sounded.

He Xilian remained motionless, and glanced at Qian Jinxiao.The Staff Office is responsible for formulating operational plans, and the Military Intelligence Office is responsible for collecting intelligence. The two are independent but complementary.

Qian Jinxiao was calm on the surface, but his heart was extremely boiling.

Last time in Mongolia, the Generalissimo’s Mansion had limited contribution, but this time the Wa Kingdom is different. If it can dominate and be included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be a famous achievement in history!

This is far away, and the near one can also enhance the reputation of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, consolidate their status and power, and strengthen the internal system of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

After a while, Zhu Xu raised his head and said, "The Grand Marshal's Mansion will immediately formulate a detailed battle plan, and I will summon Xiong Wencan to bring the King of Tang to Beijing."

This time it was not a large-scale battle, but a deterrent one. There would not be many fleets mobilized, and it would not take too long. Da Ming could bear it.

"Observe the order!" He Xilian and Qian Jinxiao bowed and said in a low voice.

The palace was discussing, and Tanaka Ichiro outside the palace did not live in the post house, but booked a restaurant. In his house, all the utensils were used, and the habits were Japanese.

At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the small table, sipping tea, and said with an intoxicated expression: "Ming people are in the Central Plains, and they really are in the world. This tea is not available in our country."

In front of him, there were two warriors kneeling, with dark and indifferent faces. One of them bowed his head and said, "Dian, let's leave as soon as possible. If Ming people find us, they will definitely not let us go."

Ichiro Tanaka was not as restrained as he was in front of Fu Tao and Hu Lianshan before, his facial features were tough, calm and calm, holding a teacup in front of his nose, fanning it gently with his hands, his face seemed drunk and intoxicated, and he couldn't extricate himself from it.

The two warriors looked at each other and waited.

After a while, Ichiro Tanaka put down his teacup and said, "Have you found out what I asked you to inquire about?"

One of the warriors said: "Yes. We have investigated it. The court of the Ming people is very complicated. The Ming people themselves don't know who has the final say. But their emperor has the supreme power. This emperor listens to the Queen Mother very much. .”

"Government office?" Tanaka Ichiro's expression moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "So, what does this empress dowager like? Where is the weakness?"

Both warriors frowned, and one said: "Dian, that's the Empress Dowager, who has everything she wants, and lives in the deep palace, so it's hard for us to get close."

Ichiro Tanaka looked at the two samurai with a calm expression, and said, "Then, what are the other effects?"

"A few people were successfully bribed, but they are all petty officials with little influence, and it will take time to detect Ming's specific ideas and strategies for Japan," said a bushido.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two warriors suddenly bowed and said, "Great government office!"

Not far away, a man in a bright red dress, who looked to be in his early twenties, with a delicate face like a sculpture, and a charming and graceful figure, with a seductive fragrance in every move, came out of a room and walked towards them slowly.
