Daming primary school students

There was silence in the side hall for a while, and Ce Yan and Zhou Liang had mixed feelings in his heart. In fact, in the cultural circles of Japan, there were also many opinions on how to treat Daming.

Ce Yan, Zhou Liang, and the forces behind him all advocate maintaining the superficial tributary relationship, pretending to be a vassal, in order to seek real benefits.

After all, Daming's products are too rich, all of which are lacking in Japan, and Japan has almost nothing to sell except a few knives and fans, and silver mines in recent years.

But looking back at it now, Ce Yan and Zhou Liang faintly felt that after pretending to be a tribute for three years, it seemed that they were going to lure wolves into the house. Why did Daming produce such a restless alien?
Qin Dewei was extremely bored, and he said a stalk that only he understood: "I heard that in your country of Wa, there is a person in the world who dreams of living in Ningbo City forever, and wants to be buried here after death.

If I don't think so, please invite Satsuma and other feudal lords to live in Ningbo City. A few prison meals can still be managed. "Everyone didn't understand why, only Xu Shi'an, the youngest Xu Shi'an who accompanied him, laughed awkwardly with a very cooperative "hahahaha".

Although he didn't understand the meaning, he understood Qin Dewei.

Faced with Qin Zhongtang's rude request, Ce Yan and Zhou Liang had no choice but to argue with reason.

The general interpreter said: "The classics of Sinology say that if a teacher comes out, he will be famous. How can there be a reason to invade our borders without a reason?"

Qin Dewei quickly took a sip of tea and his throat was clear, feeling a little excited, no one had been beeping to him like this for a long time, lonely and invincible.

Then Qin Zhongtang directly sprayed back: "It seems that Monk Ceyan, your sinology is only half a bottle of vinegar!
How can it be called raising troops without reason?Is your Wa country a vassal?My Ming Dynasty, as a superior country, should teach a few local princes for the subordinate country, what's wrong?

I don’t know if you have heard of the old story of Annan in the past few years, Monk Ceyan?The power minister of Annan, Mo Dengyong, usurped the throne, and I, in the Ming Dynasty, sent heavenly soldiers to conquer Annan and forced Mo Dengyong to surrender!
Our Ming navy conquered Satsuma and other places, we can refer to Annan's example, how can it be said that the teacher came from no name? "

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang were also troubled in their hearts. The profession and conferment, which was originally only used to deceive trade rights, has now become a legal bondage.

After much deliberation, he could only find an excuse to shirk, and asked Tong Shi to translate: "I am just a messenger, and I really have no right to decide military and state affairs, and I am not qualified to discuss these with Zhongtang."

Qin Dewei said fiercely: "What misunderstanding do you have about Ben Zhongtang? I don't want to discuss anything with you, I just inform you!"

The clay figurine was still angry, and Qin Zhongtang's domineering face made Ce Yan and Zhou Liang a little angry, and said ironically:

"I'm just a humble messenger, so what's the point of notifying me? If I haven't notified our country, it means entering without warning and fighting without declaring it. Is this the so-called Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom?

Even if you sue this in front of Da Mingzi, you have to talk about this etiquette!As far as I know, your generals who are good at provoking frontier quarrels will all be punished! "

Qin Zhongtang was very surprised and said: "Who said that war will be declared undeclared? Your monk Ceyan will return to the country to report to Genji sooner or later, right?
When the trade winds arrive, five days after you set off to return home, my Daming Navy will follow your mission and set off! …

It is estimated that after you go ashore and deliver my rebellion document to King Genji of Nijo Castle, the Daming Navy will be able to reach Hizen or Satsuma.

At this time, my rebellion document is already in the hands of your King Genji, and the Daming navy has started shelling your country's rebellious vassals, so it is not considered an undeclared war, right? "

Monk Ceyan was stunned when he heard that, there are such brazen people in the world!Qin Dewei explained again: "This trick is still learned from you Wa Guo."

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang blushed with anger, what could be more shameless than shameless?Such a shameless trick is unheard of, why did they learn from Japan?

The deputy envoy of the Japanese diplomatic mission quickly walked up to Ce Yan and Zhou Liang's ear, and said in a low voice, "I don't understand morality, let's talk about it in terms of profit and loss."

It is reasonable to say that it is better to change the strategy.

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang asked Tong Shi to translate again: "It is no small matter to launch an expedition across the sea. Does Zhongtang know the difficulties?"

秦德
Wei said a little arrogantly: "With the strength of your remote daimyo lords, there are three thousand elites, and with the sharpest firearms, it should be enough to win?"

Qin Zhongtang, who has played games in his previous life, knows how old Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are in the current time period, or the early Warring States Period.

At this time, the general daimyos don't have many soldiers, let alone the daimyos of remote seasides such as Satsuma and Hizen.

If a few more decades pass, Qin Zhongtang probably won't dare to send thousands of people to the Japanese country for armed uprising.Ce Yan and Zhou Liang really don't understand, how did this Qin Zhongtang know about the national conditions of the Wa country?In Daming, which regarded itself as a celestial dynasty, who was so full to study the Wa Kingdom?

He could only continue to let the general interpreter say: "Lao Shi's expedition to the sea will cost countless money and food in vain, and it will cost more than a land expedition.

Even if Satsuma and other domains were razed to the ground, Nakado would not gain much.If it is calculated from the interests, it will be a waste of national power after all, sincerity is not to be taken! "

Qin Dewei laughed "haha" a few times, "I thought that if Monk Ceyan could be an envoy, he must be a person with a flexible mind, why is he so pedantic?

Didn't Monk Ceyan ever think that going out by boat is more convenient to carry supplies than going out on land?
My Great Ming Navy crossed the sea to fight against rebellion. With a fleet of thousands of people, it would not be difficult to bring [-] to [-] bolts of silk by the way, right?
It is said that each piece of silk is worth five taels when it arrives in Japan, and the price of 15 pieces is 10 taels of silver. After deducting the cost, it is [-] taels of profit!
Why is it unprofitable and a waste of national strength to do business with other wealthy merchants and daimyo while crusade against Satsuma and other feudal clans?
With the benefits of more than [-] silver, are you afraid that the soldiers will not fight to the death? "Ce Yan and Zhou Liang were speechless. Is this an expedition, or is it official armed smuggling?"

Qin Dewei added: "And does Monk Ceyan know? The giant bandit Wang Zhi who ran between Daming and Wa Kingdom was wiped out by me this year.

Therefore, there must be a huge gap in the smuggling of materials from the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese country. It happened that my Daming navy brought silk to make up for it, and the gunboat escorted it and delivered it to the door! "

Now even Xu Laosan next to him was shocked. You, Qin Zhongtang, killed Wang Zhi when you disagreed at the beginning. Could it be that you wanted to replace him and do it yourself?
Ce Yan and Zhou Liang were still doing their duty, persuading him earnestly: "It's really not that simple for Fan Hai to become a teacher. If you don't understand maritime affairs, you will die at all costs.  …

Besides, the officers and soldiers sent by Qin Zhongtang may not be proficient in our country's affairs, nor are they familiar with the national conditions of the Wa country. How can they succeed? "

Qin Dewei said indifferently: "Although Wang Zhi is dead, he still left behind many old ministries, I plan to recruit a group of talented people from them, recommend them to a hundred households, and then act as guides for my Daming Navy.

Or don't stick to Wang Zhi's old department, I will also come up with a meritocracy, as long as you have the ability to understand the Japanese, you can come to me to seek a hundred households.

Although the official position is not big, it can also be famous. After all, this is the establishment of the country.Even the Francois are treated equally, and they are not willing to give preferential treatment to hundreds of households!And I have already started to buy ships from Frang Robot, and hired Frang Robot to supervise the construction of ships.

As Ce Yan and Zhou Liang listened, his back was wet with sweat unknowingly.

He had always believed that although Daming was big, it was not a strong threat to Japan, and a few thousand rogue Japanese pirates could make Daming uneasy inside and out.

It is only now that I realize that after all, I have become superficial and have fallen into the cognition of a small country that sits on the sidelines.

If there is a strong enough strongman like Qin Zhongtang, and if he is serious about Japan, at least it will be no problem to scrape a layer of skin.

The main reason is that Daming's various resources are too rich, as long as someone can mobilize and integrate them, it will be a huge force.

Qin Zhongtang suddenly changed his face again, and said like a spring breeze: "Besides, don't you still have an old friend, Monk Ceyan, in Japan?"

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang really wanted to say, "What does it have to do with me", but he closed his mouth wisely.

Qin Dewei then continued: "You and I have been dealing with each other for three years, how I do my best to maintain the tributary trade relationship between Daming and Wa Kingdom, you must have noticed Monk Ceyan, right?
I have done a lot of research and cooperation for your country, how many people have benefited from it, shouldn't you be grateful to me?
When the navy fleet I sent arrives in your country, don't you, Monk Ceyan, help me get in touch?But anyone who has taken Kanhe and wants to continue to take Kanhe in the future must also express it, right? "

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang said with a complicated expression: "Could it be that Zhongtang has been planning today since three years ago?"

Qin Dewei said plainly: "I am an ordinary person, how can I see so far? I just take one step at a time and see one step at a time."

Then Qin Dewei took out another letter and forced it into Tseriko Zhouliang's hand: "This is a letter of rebellion I wrote to you General Minamoto Ashikaga, as a letter of notification to attack Satsuma and other feudal lords.

After you return to the country, please send it to the general as soon as possible. As long as you don't get in the way, you monk Ceyan will always be my old friend of Daming! "

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang felt deeply sad and helpless, he had tried his best to stop it, what else could he do?

If Qin Dewei really made up his mind, let alone a small envoy, that general in Ertiao City, what ability would he have to stop Qin Dewei now?

As for the dozens of big names in "Tianxia", as long as they don't attack their own territory, who will work hard to stop foreign invaders?
"Nakadō, your notification document is totally against the law, and your identities don't match. I'm afraid the Nijo Castle Shogunate will not accept it." Ceyan Zhouliang sighed and said critically, this was his last stubbornness. …

Qin Dewei said casually: "It's nothing, it's just to be flexible, Monk Ceyan, you should be very good at this!
When you arrived in Ertiao City, you told the public that our status in your country is equivalent to the former Guandong leader, deputy general level, isn't this status matching? "

Ce Yan Zhou Liang: "."

There were too many pitfalls, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only silently put away the paper.

Then Ce Yan Zhou Liang said again: "I heard that the emperor of Shangbang has woken up, and I should go to the capital to have an audience with him before I can return."

Qin Dewei nodded, "This is what it should be, just to let the emperor know about the situation in Wa Kingdom by the way."

Then Qin Dewei turned to Xu Shi'an, who was doing nothing beside him, and said, "I will send you to escort the Japanese envoy to the north!"

Only then did Xu Laosan understand why Brother Qin had to let himself be with him when he received the Japanese envoy today.

He really didn't have much interest in this task, so he said capriciously, "I don't really want to go."

Qin Dewei didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "Not only is the Japanese envoy escorted to the north, but also 10 taels of silver will be escorted to the inner treasury of the palace!"

Xu Shi'an understood in seconds, just to send money to the emperor?

Qin Dewei secretly sighed, although the smuggling has been very profitable for the past six months, but at the same time, it is also a waste of money for things such as pacification of the Japanese. Normally speaking, it is not possible to get 10 taels of cash now.

But now that the emperor is awake, he has to express himself, or he will wait to be recorded by the emperor.I had no choice but to scrape together, search for wealthy families, and borrow money from banks, and managed to get together the 10 taels.

Qin Dewei was afraid that Xu Laosan was still unwilling to go, so he said flickeringly: "In addition to the 10 taels of silver, there is also the good news of killing the Japanese pirates, so I will give you a pleasing opportunity to meet the emperor!

Maybe the emperor, Longyan Yiyue, will directly reward you as a commander, and return to Nanjing to be equal to your father! "

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang came out of the side hall of the court in a state of desperation, and walked outside the door, when they suddenly heard someone call: "Messenger of Ce Yan!"

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang looked back and recognized it immediately. The appearance of this one-eyed fat man is too obvious. Who is it if he is not the son of Yan Ge, the powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty?
Yan Shifan pretended to ask: "How is your talk with Qin Zhongtang?"

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang suddenly became a little more cautious. It is said that in the Ming court, apart from the Qin Party, there is the Yan Party. Maybe they can win some sympathy from the Yan Party.

So he said miserably: "Is Qin Zhongtang treating me and other small states so meanly? Or does Qin Zhongtang have any opinion on Wa country?
I don't know what our country did wrong to make Qin Zhongtang treat him so harshly
'

Of course, they were all translated by Tong Shi, otherwise Ce Yan and Zhou Liang would not be able to talk to Yan Shifan directly.

Yan Shifan responded, "Envoy Ceyan, don't think too much, he is also so mean to us, no matter who you are, it will be the same when you Wa people come!"

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang are speechless, if you want to talk like this, how can you continue talking?

Yan Shifan didn't want to chat with Ce Yan and Zhou Liang at first, and said: "If there is nothing to do today, I will host a banquet for Ce Yan's envoy!"

"Dare not to obey orders." Ce Yan Zhou Liang did not refuse. As the official envoy of the tribute regiment, it is his duty to make friends with powerful people.

Afterwards, when Yan Shifan wanted to speak to Ce Yan and Zhou Liang, Xu Laosan stood inside the gate of the court and shouted: "Master Yan! Brother Qin calls you in!"

Yan Shifan could only bid farewell to Ce Yan and Zhou Liang temporarily, and turned to enter the court.

But seeing that Qin Zhongtang had been transferred from the side hall to the public case, he shouted, "I'm giving you a chance to report me to the emperor! Anyway, you have a lot of evidence against me!"

Yan Shifan only felt that his knees were sore and soft, and it was uncomfortable to stand up. He knelt down first in respect.
