Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 97 On How to Swallow the Kingdom of Japan from the East
"Don't be intimidated by Emperor Sui Yang's failure." Zhu Su shook his finger.

"The reason why Emperor Sui Yang failed in the three conquests of Goguryeo is that it is complicated, so let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, it must not be because of Goguryeo's military strength. How can such a small country be a thunderbolt blow from my big country in the Central Plains?"

"Besides, my Ming now has one more incomparably sharp and indestructible weapon than the Sui of that time..."

"Oh?" Old Zhu became interested. "What weapon is it?"

Zhu Su stretched out his thumb and pointed to his chest. "That's me!"

"You?" The originally serious atmosphere was disturbed by Zhu Su, and Lao Zhu was almost amused. "So, our fifth child is still a famous general who can conquer cities and destroy countries?"

"Why, can you fly into the Goryeo Palace and twist the head of the Goryeo King? Or can you summon thunder and directly razed the Goryeo Palace to the ground?"

"I'm not some evil..." Zhu Su couldn't laugh or cry. "What I mean is, I am familiar with history, and I can see foresight, Dad, have you forgotten?"

"Foresight?" Old Zhu tilted his head, suddenly thinking of something. "You mean, you also know the history of these countries?"

"I know roughly." Zhu Su nodded. "It's definitely not as detailed as my Ming history."

"Moreover, at this very moment, it is the best opportunity for me, Ming, to take these three countries and establish feudal domains!"

"If God does not take, you will be blamed!"

"Oh?" This old Zhu Ke couldn't ignore it.He straightened up. "Tell us about it in detail!"

"How can this be considered a 'gift from God'?"

"Because these three countries around Daming are coincidentally at the time of revolution!" Zhu Su said.

"Ding Ge?" Old Zhu's spirit lifted.

If these three countries are all in a period of revolution, there is indeed a great possibility that they can be replaced!
It should be known that among all the countries and dynasties in the world, only the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong and perished, while the rest perished as weak.In any period of national revolution, internal strife will inevitably proliferate, attacks will continue, and national power will inevitably decline.The easiest way to give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of.

Not all countries are as terrifying as those princes in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. With just one state and one town, they can deter the surrounding foreigners from daring to enter.

"Let's talk about the Wa country first." Zhu Su said. "Now this Japanese country happens to be in a period of division between the north and the south. The samurai Ashikaga Takashi abolished their emperor and supported a puppet Emperor Guangming. He also asked Emperor Guangming to confer himself the general of conquering barbarians and establish the shogunate regime."

"And the abolished emperor hid in the south with an artifact that symbolized the emperor's power, and organized forces to resist the rule of Ashikaga Takaji, intending to regain his throne. This is the struggle between the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Wa Kingdom."

"And now, this war that should last for more than [-] years has just begun."

"What samurai family, shogunate..." Old Zhu frowned deeply. "That is to say, their emperor was driven away by powerful ministers, and the current emperor moved south to a small court to regain the lost land, right?"

"Yes." Zhu Su nodded, and what Lao Zhu summed up was quite vivid.

"It's just such a small and broken place, I'd be ashamed to learn what we call China the Southern and Northern Dynasties..." Lao Zhu looked at Japan on the map, which was not as big as a province of Daming, and his words were extremely disgusting. "It takes a lot of effort to get an army of tens of thousands of people..."

"Uh..." Zhu Su was speechless.There is still nothing wrong with what Lao Zhu said.Yoshimoto Imagawa, the most powerful name in Japan in later generations, organized 5000 people to go to Luo, and many other daimyos were frightened by this number and trembled, exclaiming invincible again and again.Imakawa Yoshimoto is about to end the Warring States Period and create a great cause in the history of the Wa Kingdom.

As a result, the boy Oda Nobunaga sneaked thousands of people on a rainy night. The most powerful daimyo in the Warring States Period of Japan had his head cut off.

In the eyes of today's Ming generals, this kind of fighting like a spoof is really no different from village fighting and weapon fighting in the countryside...

"Anyway." Zhu Su tried to change the subject. "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is at a disadvantage in history. If I, Da Ming, can stir up some trouble, and then break into it from the inside, and instigate this lost emperor to ask our Da Ming for help..."

"At that time, wouldn't my Ming army be able to justifiably intervene in this country's struggle?"

"At that time, we will work a little bit more, and do a little trick..."

Having said that, Lao Zhu already understood.It's easy to ask gods to send gods away, this Japanese country wants me to be a reinforcement, does it need a city as a garrison?Do you need to supply food and grass?
The resident is given, so you can just hang on.Could it be that he can snatch it back?
I, Daming, can't take too much care of the captured cities for you, right?By the way, our Daming also has to consider the safety of your emperor, and it is our duty to send a guard to protect us, so there is no need to thank you.

With righteousness in your hands, you can't lose the benefits, and with the backing of the entire Ming court...

It's hard to lose!

In the end, if the so-called emperor accidentally fell into the water, he would be extinct.I, the Ming Dynasty, sent a nobleman from the Zhu family to come to your barbarian land and teach you the kingship of the Central Plains. It was because my Ming Dynasty could not bear to see your small country in dire straits, and His Majesty the Emperor reluctantly let go of his beloved son...

"Hahahaha, good! Good!" Old Zhu would not talk to Zhu Su about being upright and convincing others with virtue.Instead, he patted Zhu Su on the shoulder and praised loudly: "What a handsome trick! You are worthy of being our Zhu Chongba's son!"

Zhu Su suffered a burst of pain from being patted, and he lowered his body calmly.

"Since then, the matter of building a sea-going ship has become even more urgent." Lao Zhu put away his smiling face and thought about it. "It seems that Daming's swords can only be sheathed temporarily. They cannot be completely put away."

"Well...we still have to take over Yunnan first. We must settle down first if we want to fight against the outside world. If there is trouble in Yunnan, we will not feel at ease, and there are many giant trees in Yunnan, so we need to take this place even more if we want to build ships. Hmm... the shipbuilder Mimi fee……"

"There's no need to worry about the wasteful words." Zhu Su said with a smile. "Even if you can't win the gold and silver mines of the Wa country, you can definitely make back your money just by doing business with sea ships. Moreover, to obtain the god seed, you need sea ships!"

"That's right. Sea-going ships...can't be delayed." Old Zhu nodded.Before that, he just got the Maritime Department with the mentality of just in case, but after trusting Zhu Su, he also looked forward to the God Seed that Zhu Su said.

Moreover, he specially asked the Hanlin to find the records of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty. If the maritime trade of Daming can be half as prosperous as that of the Song Dynasty, then the investment of Daming Shipbuilding can be recouped as much as possible.

Not to mention that I still want to conquer the Japanese now.That being the case, it must be made.

"Go on, what happened to the other two countries?" Old Zhu asked Zhu Su after he finished thinking.Zhu Su smiled and pointed to Korea, which is across the sea from Japan.

"Let's talk about this country. This country admires our Central Plains culture the most. A few days ago, the mission just left the capital. The ministers must know much more about the culture of the country than I do."

"However, there is also a major disaster buried in this country that is about to detonate, and the princes and ministers are caught off guard!"
