"If I don't see it clearly, I don't know it in my heart, how can I persuade the courtiers?" Tie Xuan said
Hou Guishan said: "Uh... I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring the territory map..."

"It's okay, I have here..."

Speaking of which, Tie Xuan stood up, went to the bookshelf to look through the album, and took out a large picture without much effort.
Spread it out on the table, and looked around, but couldn't find the islands he mentioned.

"Where are the places you mentioned? Show me."

Hou Guishan moved forward resentfully, the movement was very slow, walked to the table and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, this picture is not exquisite, the drawing of those islands is too small..."

Tie Xuan also knew that what he had in his hand was a rough map, so he said, "It would be nice to have a copy of the map at home, and how exquisite it is, you just need to say where those islands are."

"Well, here...here..." Seeing that Hou Guishan couldn't shirk, he had to point his finger to the north of Hokkaido.

Tie Xuan's eyes widened immediately, he looked intently, and then couldn't help blinking, as if he wanted to see more clearly,
I saw several islands the size of sesame seeds in the place he was pointing at, which might be overlooked if you didn't look closely!
And there is no name on the label, obviously it is a very small island!

Based on my own research and understanding of the Japanese slave country, if there are large islands, I will not be unaware of them!

"This is what you said?" Tie Xuan stared at him with a pair of eyes and asked.

Hou Guishan was taken aback by him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod...

"Om" sound!
A burst of blood energy instantly hit Tianling Gaier!
Tie Xuan's mind was suddenly stunned, and there was a buzzing sound in both ears!
In just two or three breaths, his face turned purple red. Seeing his appearance, Hou Guishan was also startled, and felt bitter in his heart.

"Go, you go, leave my house!"

Tie Xuan held onto the desk with one hand to support his body.

"Master Tie, I, I..."

Hou Guishan wanted to explain, but Tie Xuan greeted him with an angry roar: "Get out! Get out! Get out now! Don't let me see you again!"

Just now he has been enduring, enduring himself not to lose his composure.

But now I can't take it anymore!
The servant outside the study heard the roar and hurriedly opened the door to check in case there was any danger, "Master..."

Seeing this situation, Hou Guishan hurriedly said: "Master Tie, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's sit down and talk about it slowly, but don't get angry..."

Tie Xuan said angrily: "From now on, don't come here again, and I'll pretend that I don't know you, and we won't communicate with each other!"

boom!
He slapped the table fiercely and shouted, "See off the guests!"

How could Hou Guishan dare to leave now? If he left now, he would never have a chance to make friends with Tie Xuan again!

Without Tie Xuan's help, he has even provoked such an enemy as him!
As long as he speaks bad things about Nanchao in front of the emperor in the court hall, the advantages Nanchao has worked so hard to build will collapse in an instant!

With a plop, Hou Guishan fell to his knees on the ground.

"Master Tie, it's all my fault. If you make your lord angry, as long as your lord calms down, the villain will not hesitate to beat and scold you!"

Tie Xuan pointed at him and cursed: "Hit you and scold you? I wish I could kill you! Is this your so-called sincerity? Is this the reason you used to convince all civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty?!

The place where sesame mung beans are a little bigger is still Daozi!You dare to take it out! "

"Fortunately, I have checked it in advance, otherwise I will become a laughing stock if I tell the courtiers inexplicably! It's ridiculous! Where are you going to put my face!"

"It's a big fart, and you are ashamed to take it out! I want to ask you, what did I do to make you so humiliated?"

"You can't be fooled when you are an official of the Ming Dynasty! If the generals know about this, and don't send troops to attack and destroy you immediately, and let out a bad breath, then you are not a general of the Ming Dynasty!"

Later, Guishan knew that he was at fault in this matter, so no matter how Tie Xuan scolded him, he had no excuses and kept apologizing.

I don't know how many times I kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, and how many good things I said, which made Tie Xuan feel less angry...

"call……"

Perhaps because he was tired from scolding, Tie Xuan sat down with his back on the chair, panting heavily, and his chest heaved up and down accordingly.

Hou Guishan quickly poured him a glass of water, and put his hands in front of him: "My lord, you have a cup of tea..."

Tie Xuan's mouth was dry, so he borrowed it and drank it in one gulp, which extinguished the fire in his chest.

After seeing that Guishan's forehead was bruised and purple because of the kowtow, his attitude of repentance was very sincere, and he couldn't stop apologizing.

Tie Xuan insisted on his own identity, so he couldn't continue to scold him.

"If you still want Daming to send troops to help you, then give Daming the two islands of Kyushu and Shikoku!"

Hearing this, Hou Guishan suddenly looked bitter: "My lord... Kyushu and Shikoku are the foundation of the Southern Dynasty. Without this, we will lose our foundation..."

The area around Kyushu was the foundation of the Southern Dynasties' management for many years, and it was also where their own power lay, so they definitely would not use it as a bargaining chip.

After some bargaining, Hou Guishan finally proposed to give Hokkaido to Daming in exchange for Daming sending troops to help.

"My lord, Hokkaido is very big, much larger than Kyushu and Shikoku combined, it can be ceded to Daming..."

Tie Xuan said with a look of disgust: "Hokkaido is extremely cold in winter, and it is a place in the Northern Dynasty. How many people and land can there be, but it's just a place where birds don't shit!"

"And living in the northernmost place will be the last place to capture,

You have a good plan!This is to wait for your Southern Dynasty to completely defeat the Northern Dynasty and occupy the entire Wanu Kingdom before you are willing to hand it over to Daming! "

Hearing these words, Hou Guishan laughed embarrassingly along, not daring to argue.

The reason why they are willing to hand over Hokkaido, of course they have their own plans.

Because Hokkaido is at the northernmost point, it will be the last piece of land in the Northern Dynasty, which means that after the entire Northern Dynasty is destroyed, that piece of land will belong to Daming.

And during this process, since Daming hadn't benefited yet, he had to support them all the time...until the Northern Dynasty completely collapsed.

This only needs to tie Daming to their chariot completely!
In addition, because Hokkaido is the territory of the Northern Dynasties of the Wonu Kingdom, in addition to being difficult to operate, it is also the farthest away from Daming, and all travel needs to pass through the coastal waters of the Southern Dynasties...

It is not bordered by the Central Plains, and it is still far away from the sea...

Perhaps they thought that one day Daming would abandon Hokkaido due to operating costs or other reasons. After all, Daming had issued sea bans many times before...

Perhaps they thought that one day they could regain Hokkaido by force, but it is unknown...

Tie Xuan didn't take these little thoughts to heart at all!

Your Majesty has a long-term vision. When the soldiers arrive tomorrow, there will be nothing about your Southern Dynasty...

After passing through, Guishan had a lot of hard work, and after all the good words, Tie Xuan finally stopped worrying about whether the place was good or bad.

As he said, Da Ming didn't care about land, allocating land was just to block the mouths of many people.

Tie Xuan instructed: "Recently, I have discussed this matter in private with several colleagues in the DPRK and China, to communicate with each other, and to gain their support, so that I will not be isolated and helpless...

If they agree, then you have to return immediately, prepare your credentials, and go to Daming as the envoy of the Japanese slave country, that's the best..."

"Yes, yes, I understand, please rest assured, my lord!"

Hou Guishan came to Daming secretly this time, and to decide major events, he had to do it in a way that made exchanges between the regiment and the states.

Tie Xuan asked him some more points, after which Gui Shan nodded one by one, agreeing to all of them.

When Hou Guishan came out of Tiexuan's residence, it was already dead of night, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the bright moon and the dotted stars in the sky, Hou Guishan couldn't help showing a curve on his face...

Then Tie Xuan reported the news to Zhu Yunxie, and Zhu Yunxie was very satisfied after hearing it.

He also noticed the small thoughts of the Southern Dynasty people, but it didn't matter.

As long as it can be justified to send troops to the Japanese slave country, and it can be justified in terms of law and etiquette, then it will be fine.

As for whether to just occupy Hokkaido after that,

Oh, that's another story.

……

The day of spring is approaching.

In the market, you can see many scholars who came to the capital to take the exam. They are wearing green shirts, scarves and handkerchiefs, and they are dressed as Confucian scholars, which is easy to see.

Of course, there are also those who wear ordinary clothes, or silk and satin, or plain commoners, and so on.

Walking in the market, looking at the hawkers hawking along the street, all kinds of exquisite snacks on the stalls, or simple and affordable food,
There are also all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, including men and women, rich gentry, young masters and young ladies, as well as rags and hard laborers.

Several children played together and laughed heartily.

Zhu Yunxi's mood also became more comfortable, this is the fireworks in the world.

"Candied haws, candied haws, delicious candied haws, sweet and sour..."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi stopped and did not leave, and his eyes were fixed on the candied haws seller, Chang Sen, who accompanied him, said, "Your Majesty... uh, do you want to eat candied haws?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Have you brought any money, are you willing to buy a few strings for your nephew?"

Hearing this, Chang Sen suddenly became motivated: "Of course I'm willing to! As long as you want to eat, you can buy as much as you want!"

As he spoke, he beckoned to the candied haws seller, threw him a silver coin and said, "I've rounded up your candied haws! Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough, but...but I can't find it..." The candied haws buyer wondered.

A silver coin is worth one tael of silver, and it can be exchanged for one thousand two or three hundred Wen, which is enough to buy half a car!
"You will be rewarded for the rest!" Chang Sen said generously!
"Thank you, master, thank you for your reward!" He said and handed the entire shelf of candied haws to Chang Sen, "This is all for you, thank you, master..."

After dismissing the hawker, Chang Sen came to Zhu Yunxi and said, "There are too many people in the market, let's go back and eat."

The things that the emperor imports should be cautious. After many inspections, it must be confirmed that it is non-toxic before the emperor can eat it.

So Chang Sen would not dare to let Zhu Yunxie eat things on the street indiscriminately.

"That's fine, I'll listen to my uncle..." Zhu Yunxi knew his worry and never forced it.

Glancing at the playful boys, Zhu Yunxi said, "Go, give them some."

"Yes!"

Zhang Fu, who was guarding by his side, picked some candied haws from the shelf and passed them to the children. They were still a little different at first, so they didn't dare to take them randomly.

After confirming that it was for them and that no money was required, I happily took it over, saying thank you...

Seeing the innocent smiles of the children, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smiled, and then walked forward.

The shelf of candied haws fell on the shoulder of Jiang Yu, commander of Jinyiwei.

There is no way, one is the uncle of the current dynasty, the other is the favorite general of the emperor, and the other is Wang Zhong, who is familiar with His Majesty's habits and is waiting for Flint by the side.

He was the only one who did the work.

"Whoosh!"

Walking behind the emperor, Zhang Fu quickly reached out and picked a candied haws from the shelf, then ate it quietly,
Jiang Yu saw it, but didn't dare to say anything, so he had to act as if he didn't see it.

Wang Zhong caught a glimpse of Zhang Fu's movements and said, "My lord, I heard that there are people in Nancheng who practice martial arts and wrestling. They have a lot of novelties."

"Oh, really, how novel is it?" Zhu Yunxi said casually.

Wang Zhong said with a smile: "My lord, I've only heard about it, I don't really know it. Cats have cats and dogs have dogs. Zhang Fu has been wandering in Nancheng for many years, so he must know it!"

"Zhang Fu, quickly return to the words of the young master!"

"Uh oh..."

At this time Zhang Fu stuffed two or three candied haws in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste made him salivate, his mouth was so full that he couldn't reply!
Knowing that Wang Zhong was trying to punish him on purpose, he gave him a hard look, then gritted his teeth hard, and swallowed the hawthorn in his mouth hard!

Ignoring the swelling feeling in my throat, I quickly replied: "Your Majesty... uh, my lord, there are a lot of performers, such as those who stick a spear in their throats, some who swallow swords, some who show fist and kick hard qigong, and some who show iron skills. Head work...

Uh, son, do you want to go and have a look? "

"How can there be that kind of kung fu!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "You think it's just for fun when you come out? I don't have that time."

Zhang Fu was stunned and suddenly speechless.

I had no choice but to stare at Wang Zhong again, it's this eunuch who picks things up!
And Wang Zhong immediately stared back, showing no sign of weakness.

Zhu Yunxi saw it in his eyes and knew that the two of them were fighting against each other on purpose to make him happy, so he smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Seeing a bookstore facing the street, it was he who had brought the Queen Xu Miaojin here before, and he still had some impressions, so he walked in.

On the prominent bookshelf next to the door, there are books that sell well. Because they sell fast, they are naturally placed at the front.

"Well, there is also the Daming Weekly..."

Zhu Yunxi took the newspaper down from the top, and the words "Da Ming Weekly" were on the top, which was very conspicuous, and the time was written in small characters in the corner.

Zhu Yunxi scanned it roughly, and knew that this was the second issue of the newspaper. There were two or three articles still talking about the grand occasion of Ming Dynasty's mission to the West, and the establishment of the Propaganda Department in Sanfuqi.

There are also some content about this meeting, recording how the court responded to this spring, what are the key points, etc...
