Chapter 246 Layout
It's a pity that his son Ashikaga Yoshimitsu changed his policy, the survey and cooperation between the two sides were interrupted, and Japan no longer suppressed Japanese pirates.
So it is unreliable to rely on the people in power in Japan, not to mention how Zhu Biao could trust them. Their interests are touching. After Japan has a unified leadership, I am afraid that the originally disorganized Japanese pirates will become organized aggression. Japan has been ambitious since ancient times.
Zhu Biao sighed. After all, Japan must be destroyed. At least one of Japan’s main islands must be occupied first, and then it is the kingly way to fight steadily. After Japan is completely controlled, the Japanese pirates will be nothing to worry about.
It’s just that the Ming Dynasty is waiting to be rejuvenated, and there are two examples of the Yuan Dynasty’s two failed conquests against Japan. No matter whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or the civil and military officials, no one is willing to waste national power to attack an overseas island.
Unless Zhu Biao made up his mind to play a show, Zhu Yuanzhang might send troops to fight in anger, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It doesn't matter if he suffered a little injury, but taking Japan now does more harm than good, and whether he can win or not In other words, even in the East Asian monster room, Japan is a strong player.
If it was all land battles, Ming would naturally have nothing to fear, but expeditions to the sea are no joke. Ming could not afford the consumption. The Yuan Dynasty first conquered Japan, but it was also the first year of the founding of the country. Although the invincible Mongolian cavalry fell due to natural disasters, But it also proves that Japan's combat effectiveness is not weak.
Zhu Biao looked at the position of the mainland of Japan from a long distance. He will destroy Japan anyway. The time is not yet ripe, and many arrangements need to be made. Winning Korea is the most important part.
With Goryeo, there will be a springboard to attack Japan, and there will be a wave of cannon fodder, so he won’t feel bad for Goryeo’s soldiers to consume Japan. By then, Ming will have enough food and supplies to support cross-sea operations.
Of course, Zhu Biao had to send someone to study the celestial phenomena at sea. If there was another typhoon, no one would be able to bear it. The Japanese are so evil, otherwise they would have been wiped out by Kublai Khan long ago.
The next day Zhu Biao finally waited for the news from Yao Guangxiao. They had been in Korea for several months as envoys of the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, Yao Guangxiao is on good terms with Monk Xin Tun. After all, the same monks also have a common language. Of course, the most important thing is Yao Guangxiao's ability. After giving Xin Tun a few ideas to deal with several political enemies, he was honored as the honored guest. .
Xin Tun's ambitions are also growing under his encouragement, and the political situation in Korea is becoming more and more chaotic. Yao Guangxiao predicts that there will be a war within two years, and now he is here to ask Zhu Biao who he plans to let win.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Biao ordered to write a letter to Yao Guangxiao in person, the content of which was roughly to consume Goryeo's strength as much as possible, especially the diehard party members loyal to King Goryeo, the hero of the other and the enemy of us, and win over the vacillating The villain, let King Goryeo win in the end.
After the man left, Zhu Biao sent several orders to Gaoli through Quan Xu, and one was to Jiang Side. side.
King Goryeo will not live for a few more years. Zhu Biao is now ready to support a suitable prince, and he even does not hesitate to come forward directly. Although it is a bit excessive, it is true that a weak country has no diplomacy.
At the end of a dynasty, ghosts and snakes will appear. This is the case in Goryeo now. Treacherous officials interfere with the party, civil rebellions continue, Japanese pirates invade outside, and the people are in dire straits. Still feel it.
How could Zhu Biaomou country be reluctant to part with a courtier? Just give his descendants a marquis promotion for a lifetime of wealth and honor. After everyone else went out, Zhu Biao summoned the prefect of Dengzhou and asked him to summon the local shipwrights. Zhu Biao was going to take them all away.
At this time, there is no way to invite each other. After all, no one wants to leave their hometown. The government forcibly gathered all the families and loaded them on the ship. They were so scared that they thought they were about to be sold.
When the number of people was almost the same, Zhu Biao went up and explained to them in person. First, he distributed a large bag of copper coins to each family, and then promised to settle down for them, and promised various benefits to make them feel at ease.
Then the fleet set off directly, and the Marquis of Jinghai had already completed the arrangements. If the Japanese pirates invaded, he could refuse to defend and wait for other places to come to support.
This time the voyage was farther, heading directly towards Fuzhou Mansion, where there is the largest navy camp in Ming Dynasty, Tang Ding was also waiting there for Zhu Biao's arrival, and Zhu Biao also went down to look around for supplies along the way. Go south and get richer.
When sailing to Ningbo Mansion, Zhu Biao also received news that Yang Xian was imprisoned for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and he was about to be executed in a few days. Zhu Biao also remained silent for a long time. Unlike the officials in the past, Zhu Biao and Yang Xian Constitution contacts a lot.
Now it’s time to say goodbye, and I can only lament why this beautiful woman is a thief. Both Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang once admired Yang Xian very much, especially the responsibility he showed when he first took over Yangzhou.
According to Zhu Biao's guess, his father originally planned to train Yang Xian well, and planned to let him hone in the local area for about ten years before being transferred to the central government. Exaggerate his achievements in governing Yangzhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely disappointed, he followed his will and allowed him to rise to the top all the way. It took less than two years to get to his current position, but his bad debts broke out, and no one could save him.
Zhu Biao started to reflect on it. He also watched Yang Xian step by step to where he is today. He even knew that he would have such a day, so he saw it very clearly.
No matter how you behave or do things, you can't be too anxious. Opportunity is a small way after all, and being rampant for a while is definitely not a long-term solution. What's more, in Zhu Biao's position, no matter what you do, you have to be cautious.
Zhu Biao shook his head and invited a few experienced old shipwrights. This time Zhu Biao mingled with them every day. At the beginning they were a little restrained, but now it has become more natural. After all, Zhu Biao has never interacted with ordinary people. interest.
Zhu Biao told them a lot about the understanding of later ships, but the significance was not too great. After all, Zhu Biao didn’t know much about later ships, and they were all made of steel.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you can give some general directions, Zhu Biao will set up professional schools and research institutes when the country becomes rich in a few years, and he will continue to support him even if he doesn't get results for decades.
It is really hard for the country to be poor. Zhu Biao has too much to do, but they are all limited by the limitations of national power. That's the point of doing things.
