Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Having said so much, let’s sort out our thoughts:

When the Japanese invaded North Korea, Wanli was furious and instructed Fujian to propose an attack on the Japanese mainland.

After the cabinet discussion, a plan to attack Japan was formulated, and Wanli agreed to implement it.

The plan was spread to various places, and various places operated in secret to block the Ming court's plan with practical actions.

However, Wanli remained unmoved.

They even changed the previously discussed plan and allowed the Zhejiang region to reap the first wave of dividends.

Just imagine, the Japanese country, a place rich in gold and silver, benefited from being the first army to enter Zhejiang...

To describe it as a golden mountain and a silver sea is no longer enough to express it!

This was one of the two places with the highest gold and silver production in the world at that time!

The other is South America.

How much gold and silver was produced in South America?

According to statistics from Silver Capital, South America produced 42,000 tons of silver and 74,000 tons of gold in the [-]th and [-]th centuries.

Converted into taels, it is taels of silver, which is 200 million taels, and gold is 11 million taels.

South American silver alone, from the 16th to the 18th century, was 13.33 tons, equivalent to 21 million taels.

What about the mining volume in Japan?

The exact amount of gold and silver produced in Japan is hidden.

There is only this data:

"In the 16th and 17th centuries, Japan's gold and silver production accounted for one-third of the total global mining scale."

Zhejiang Normal University, Mr. Guo Kaiyi's master's degree thesis "Research on Japanese Silver Foreign Trade in the 16th and 17th Centuries" stated:

Just one Shijian Yinshan mines up to 200 tons of silver every year.

And that’s not to mention gold.

单单葡萄牙在1622--1636，这短短15年内，从倭国运走了270四万三千640八两白银。

Multiply this figure by the number of years, and it happens to be comparable to the scale of production in South America.

This is in line with the fact that Japan and South America are the two largest gold and silver mining areas in the world.

We all know now that Japan is not a sovereign country.

In fact, a long time ago, it wasn't.

At the latest, not long after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country was already controlled by a pair of invisible hands!

Not only the Japanese country, but also the non-vassal countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty were all controlled by these hands.

Combining a series of internal and external situations in the Ming Dynasty, we can get the following picture:

Actual situation map of the Ming Dynasty

If you try to fit the internal and external affairs that happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty into these three circles, you will find a surprising discovery - how accurate!

Just imagine, under this background, can Wanli succeed in conquering the Japanese country?

as predicted!

The army had just started, but those invisible hands had already controlled everything!

The prank is back!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in Momoyama Castle (today's Momoyama Town, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Japan) on August 8...

How did Toyotomi Hideyoshi die?

The cause of his death remains a mystery and is officially kept secret.

I only know that he was incontinent before his death...

There are different opinions on the cause of his death, including cerebral syphilis, dysentery, etc.

Shen Weijing, the envoy and deputy envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty at that time, claimed that he was poisoned to death by him.

This record is not the only one!

The maid of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's young wife also said the same in a secret report to her grandfather Aikawa Harutsuji——

"I heard that the cause of Duke Taige's illness was in September of the year before last.

At that time, the guerrilla general Shen Weijing came to the court to pay homage to Duke Taige, and took pills from his arms to take.

…Then I pretended that poisonous poison was a good medicine, and I took it myself as a gift to Duke Taige…”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was prepared to fight to the end - rode a crane and returned to the west.

It looks like a team of experts who went to investigate the leak...

Mmm~!

The plane crashed...

By coincidence...

Coincidentally!

It's such a coincidence!

I think Huahua’s expert team was just such a coincidence...

……

Shen Weijing was the deputy envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty at that time. Logically speaking, he should be the emperor's man.

His actions should be authorized by Wanli...

Who knows - after he returned home, Wanli personally ordered:

"After being executed, his parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters all fled two thousand miles away, and his wife and children were taken into the family of the hero and became slaves."

Wanli is furious!

Not counting Shen Weijing being hacked to death, even his family members were not spared...

These incomprehensible operations are happening one after another!

If Shen Weijing poisoned Toyotomi Hideyoshi according to Wanli's permission...

How could such a punishment be imposed?

Wanli punishes this person severely, or punishes the whole family...

It can only mean that Shen Weijing disrupted Wanli's plan!

So, what did Shen Weijing's actions lead to?

When the Ministry of War heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was dead, he urgently ordered Li Yingzhao to return to the court!

return after victory?

What?

do not fight!

I Nima...

The Japanese country is still fighting hard in Korea. They haven't surrendered yet, so they won't fight?

no……

They haven't surrendered yet, so how do your Ministry of War know that they can't replace someone else and continue the fight?

You are so anxious...

do not fight?

What the hell!

Outrageous!

Everyone in the Emotional War Department has the ability to read minds?

Can you guess what the next leader of Japan will do?

This is like what--

The driver is dead and Emperor Pu hasn't reacted yet?

The Ministry of War directly recalled the soldiers and horses!

Damn it, aren't you afraid of the second driver who will give you a long drive?

Is it over if we don’t fight?

Do not!

There is another cool operation——

On November 11 of the same year in the lunar calendar, the Ming army and the Korean coalition forces completely annihilated the Japanese navy in the Battle of Luliang, winning the Wanli War to Resist Japan and Aid Korea...

Hahaha~~!

"Wanli kid, calm down.

Look, didn’t we win...

Be obedient, be good, let’s not fight~! "

"If you disobey me - do you think the palace maid who strangled Jiajing's neck... will be replaced by a strong "rebel"?"

Hey!

Don't say it!

It’s really here again!

In the 41st year of Wanli, after the Ryukyu Incident, Wanli directed the imperial examinations to make a policy of "capturing Japanese".

Wanli's meaning was very simple - he wanted to reveal his grievances in the imperial examination so as to get some news from the "stupid young man" who had not yet entered the officialdom.

Immediately after—

In the 43rd year of Wanli (1615), on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month (from [-] to [-] pm), Zhang Cha walked into the Prince's East Palace with a jujube stick in his hand.

Guangzong was almost killed!

If Li Jian, the eunuch guarding the gate at that time, hadn't shouted loudly and attracted a large group of eunuchs...

The prince of Wanli—gone again!

Does this operation feel familiar?

"Hi!

Wanli son, I heard that you want to ask us about tax collection in Jiangnan? "

The Liaodong cavalry in Liaodong shouted:

"Wanli son, don't collect taxes from my father!

If you dare to collect taxes in Jiangnan, we will collectively defect to the Jurchen Nurhachi! "

Then.

The Eight Banners Army stepped onto the stage of history.

Then.

After Jinli.

Then...

The Ming Dynasty will be destroyed...
