Emperor Xia sighed: "An accident happened in the Wa country. The Ashikaga shogunate was overthrown by the Tokugawa family and was exterminated. The life and death of Ashikaga Nobita is unknown. The Wa country has completely changed the world. Concubine Lan was heartbroken when she heard the bad news, so I didn't have a good rest. "

Xiao Rui pretended to be surprised, and asked: "The Ashikaga shogunate was overthrown? This...how is it possible! For the past two years, the father has given great support to Ashikaga Nobita and provided him with a lot of funds for the sake of Concubine Lan. Still can't deal with the Tokugawa family?"

Emperor Xia sighed: "The rise of the Tokugawa family and the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate are the general trend. Gold and silver can only delay the collapse of the Ashikaga shogunate, but can't save him. Now Concubine Lan has been begging me to send troops to attack the Japanese country and destroy the Tokugawa family to avenge his family." , what do you think of this matter?"

"Father, I think it's better to look at the attitude of the Tokugawa family first. If the newly established Tokugawa shogunate Yelang is arrogant and will endanger the safety of Daxia's coast, then there is nothing to hesitate. Our latest sea ship in Daxia has already The trial production is successful, just to see the power!" Xiao Rui suggested.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"Father, please rest, and I will not bother you." Xiao Rui said.

Immediately, Xiao Rui withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui wrote a reply letter to Yan Linglong. There was no long speech, only one line:

"It seems that your butt is itchy and you want to be beaten. If you want sweet potatoes, then send an envoy to talk. Also, what is the secret that will make me regret it?"

Give the letter to Li Yuanfang and let him send it out through Spear Falcon.

Then Xiao Rui went out of the palace and went to Zhan Shi's mansion, because Guo Jia rushed back last night.

When he came to Zhan Shi's mansion, Xiao Rui saw Guo Jia, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year. It seemed that he was blown by the sea breeze, and he looked thinner.

"My subordinate, Guo Jia, pays homage to His Highness." Seeing Xiao Rui, Guo Jia was also very excited, and quickly got up to salute.

Xiao Rui asked him to stand up, and said with a smile, "Feng Xiao's going out this time took a long time!"

Guo Jia apologized: "The matter of the Wa Kingdom could have been resolved in two or three months. Later, my subordinate went to the small country of Tiandu for a tour, and there I met a caravan going to the Yuan Kingdom for business. I originally planned to go to the Yuan Kingdom. Take a look at the country, just take a walk to see the actual situation of the Yuan country, and see if you can make arrangements in advance so as to provide benefits for His Royal Highness to destroy the Yuan country in the future. Because it is a temporary decision when you are away from home, the news came back to report Your Highness, the subordinates have already set off."

During this year and a half, Guo Jia first went to the Wa Kingdom, stayed there for three months, then went to Tiandu for a month, then went north with the caravan to the Yuan Kingdom, stayed there for more than half a year, and then returned to the Wa Kingdom. It was not until today that I returned to Daxia.

Although Guo Jia would send someone to deliver the letter back, because of the long distance, Xiao Rui only got a general idea of ​​Guo Jia's specific receipt of goods for this trip, and he had to listen to him in detail about the details.

"Looking at the smiling faces of Feng Xiao and Mr. Wen He, the harvest must be not small, hurry up and listen to it!" Xiao Rui said eagerly.

Guo Jia spoke eloquently.

At first, I learned from the Japanese envoy Saburo Koizumi that Ashikaga Yumi came to Xia with a conspiracy, so Guo Jia went to the Japanese country first.

After arriving in the Wa country, Guo Jia spent a month mastering the language of the Wa country, then gained the trust of Ashikaga Nobita by virtue of his talent, and finally found out why Ashikaga Nobita let Ashikaga Yumi come to Daxia, and firmly believed that Emperor Xia would take a fancy to Ashikaga Yumi , all because someone reminded Nobita Ashikaga!

And this person is Huang Qilin!

Huang Qilin traveled around the world when he was young, and also crossed the sea to the Japanese country, met Ashikaga Nobita, and became a close friend. He has written letters for more than two years.

Guo Jia continued to investigate and found that Huang Qilin only mentioned Nobita Ashikaga, which seemed to be a kind reminder from a friend, and there was no other conspiracy.

But after in-depth investigation, Guo Jia discovered that Huang Qilin had colluded with the patriarch of the Tokugawa family. During his time in Wa, Huang Qilin used tricks to kill the beloved daughter of the Tokugawa patriarch and blamed it on Ashikaga Nobita, which made things worse. The hatred between the two clans was broken, so there was an endless situation.

Only then did Guo Jia understand Huang Qilin's sinister intentions. He was laying out a big picture.

First of all, he knew that when Yumi Ashikaga saw Empress Xia, he would definitely miss Emperor Xia, and then he would conduct a detailed investigation on Yumi Ashikaga.So Huang Qilin didn't dare to get involved, he just played a role of reminder, never contacted Ashikaga Yumi and the Japanese mission, so Xia Huang found that Ashikaga Yumi was fine after investigation.

After Ashikaga Yumi entered the palace, Huang Qilin deteriorated the relationship between the Tokugawa family and the Ashikaga shogunate. He saw that the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate would inevitably die at the hands of the Tokugawa family, so he wanted to speed up the matter.

Now, the Ashikaga shogunate is destroyed, and the life and death of Ashikaga Nobita is unknown, which is Huang Qilin's second plan.

As for the third strategy, I believe that Huang Qilin is already in Kyoto at this time, and is planning to contact Yumi Ashikaga and complete his big conspiracy through her.

When Guo Jia found out Huang Qilin's trick, he had to admire Huang Qilin's wit and scheming.Unfortunately, he didn't find Huang Qilin's whereabouts. This person had already left the Wa country and his whereabouts were unknown. He would only appear when the situation in the Wa country changed. He even roughly calculated the time when the Ashikaga shogunate was destroyed.

Huang Qilin can figure it out, so naturally Guo Jia can also figure it out.

Therefore, Guo Jia did not stay in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, but went to Tiandu and Yuan Kingdom. When the Ashikaga Shogunate was about to be destroyed, Guo Jia returned to the Wa Kingdom.

And not long after returning to the Wa country, Guo Jia discovered a fellow of the same kind.It wasn't Huang Qilin, but a master sent by Huang Qilin.Later, these masters took advantage of the destruction of the Ashikaga shogunate, captured Ashikaga Nobita and his children, and then returned to Daxia.

This is Huang Qilin's back-hand. Only after mastering Nobita Ashikaga, he has the opportunity to talk to Yumi Ashikaga.

Guo Jia saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't startle the snake, but watched these people leave silently, and then returned to the capital himself.

After hearing about Guo Jia's experience in Japan, Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "So, Huang Qilin has returned to the capital, this is the best chance to catch him, and it will be even more difficult to let him escape. Got it."

Guo Jia nodded, and said, "Huang Qilin is very cunning, this time is indeed a good opportunity."

Jia Xu said: "I have already asked Wei Zhongxian, and the spies of Prince Duan's Mansion did not find anything unusual. It seems that Huang Qilin did not dare to go to Prince Duan's Mansion, and the two must have met somewhere else. Your Highness, why don't you send someone at Twelve Hours?" Staring?"

Xiao Rui thought for a while, and said: "It's not impossible to watch, but Xiao Feng and Huang Qilin are cunning people, I'm worried that they will reveal their secrets, so it's best to send a master to watch. In addition, Ashikaga Yumi also has to watch. I will let Yan Xiaoxiao do it."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia both nodded.

Then Xiao Rui asked: "Feng Xiao, you have stayed in the Yuan Kingdom for more than half a year, and you have learned a lot in your letter, why don't you tell me in detail?"

"Your Highness, this subordinate is about to report this matter." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Guo Jia's trip to the Yuan Kingdom this time is not only a lot of harvest, but a gratifying harvest!

Chapter 574: Go Deep into the Grassland and Disturb Yuan Kingdom

Guo Jia's trip to the Yuan Kingdom this time is a step in the formulation of a grand strategy, and he will go sooner or later, but it is ahead of schedule.

Before Zhang Liang and Xiao He went to Anxi Fourteen Prefectures, together with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the four of them discussed and formulated a grand strategy for Xiao Rui and Da Xia, which represented the advancing phalanx and goal.

The first strategy is to complete the planting of new crops within two years.

The second strategy is to completely wipe out the opposing conspiracy in the court within one year, completely consolidate the power of the prince, exercise the power of supervising the country, and rule over the six ministries.

The third strategy is to destroy Qi State and support Yan State.

The fourth strategy is to instigate the rebellion against the Yuan State and face the Qin State directly.

……

The above is the general outline, as well as specific content and other plans. Discussed from multiple aspects, the entire grand strategy was written down on dozens of sheets of paper. It was written by four advisers. It is Xia Guo's plan to unify China, which Xiao Rui said with a smile It is "White Paper on How Great Xia Unifies China"!

Now that the promotion of new crops has been completed, the second step is in progress, and the strategy for the Yuan Kingdom is to instigate rebellion.

Everyone knows the advantages and disadvantages of the Yuan Kingdom, and the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom also knows that the tribal system is the biggest constraint of the Yuan Kingdom. Every Khan wants to try to change, learn from the Central Plains countries, establish a centralized system, and The Khan is respected, but several Khans have worked hard for so long, but it is difficult to achieve it.

Tribes are like big clans and aristocratic families in other countries, but tribes are more thorough. They focus on their own tribal interests and are more pure than aristocratic families.

Therefore, the way to instigate the rebellion against the Yuan State is to support a powerful tribe. As long as the strength of a new tribe threatens the Khan, chaos in the Yuan State will inevitably occur.And now that the time and place are right, the Yuan Kingdom is affected by the disaster, and the tribes have begun to suspect, compete, and even annex each other in order to survive.

It is normal for the tribes on the grassland to rush to annex. They respect the winner as the king and the loser as the bandit, unlike the Han people who have to scruple on the law and morality.

When Guo Jia went to Yuan State this time, he happened to meet the Mongolian tribe of the fifth tribe of Yuan State.

As we all know, the five major Ulus in the Yuan Dynasty are: Naiman, Kelei, Mierqi, Tatar, and Mongolia.The five major tribes are under the control of the leader, and the sons of the leader establish their own tribes when they grow up, but they all belong to the headquarters, and there are many other tribes attached to the five major tribes. There are hundreds of tribes in the entire Yuan Kingdom.
