Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 311 Jinghai Three Strategies
On Fengzhou, hearing His Royal Highness the King of Chu say the name 'Wang Dayuan', the pupils of the Wang family father and son shrank together.

"Your Highness, how does Your Highness know...Wang Dayuan's?" Wang Defu asked dumbfounded.

"I just know." Zhu Zhen said a mantra, and then said with a smile: "Actually, my master has read your "Dao Yi Zhi" and admires you very much. Whenever you say that you have been to Africa, this king immediately thinks of you." coming."

"Who is His Highness's master?"

"Master Liu Bowen." Zhu Zhen said proudly.

"It turned out to be Mr. Qingtian!" Wang Defu showed a surprised look, then knelt down and apologized: "Your Highness, forgive me, the little old man is indeed Wang Dayuan, and Wang Defu is my pseudonym overseas."

"Why do you use a pseudonym?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"Ah, this..." Wang Dayuan shyly said: "Firstly, it's easy to provoke enemies overseas because of the treacherous conditions overseas, so maritime merchants usually have many aliases. Secondly, the old man is from Nanchang, and his family is originally I have a scholarly family, and my father has high hopes for me. Therefore, I took the word "Huan Zhang" from "Huan Huan Qi You Wen" in "The Analects of Confucius". used an alias."

"Hey, Mr. Wang's words are wrong." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "Your nautical career is a glorious one. In the future, you must be one of the most famous..."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your good words." Wang Dayuan's eye circles were a little moist. Although he was old, he still needed someone's approval! "Does Mr. Qingtian really admire the little old man?"

After all, in the eyes of scholars, those who go to sea are all profit-seeking desperadoes.

"Of course, I can still lie to you." Zhu Zhen said "fake Liu Jiyan" without blinking an eye: "My master often said that the Yuan Dynasty was not good in every way, but it is worth learning to embrace the sea. If you want to be prosperous and strong forever, you must learn from the Song and Yuan dynasties to engage in overseas trade, so an outstanding navigator like Mr. Wang is the most precious wealth of Ming Dynasty."

"Mr. Qingtian...do you really say that?" Tears welled up in Wang Dayuan's eyes.

"Of course it's true." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "If you don't believe me, go back to Nanjing with me and ask him face to face."

"No, no, the little old man believed it, absolutely believed it." Wang Dayuan said with tears: "I just thought that all the princes in the court supported the sea ban, but I didn't expect that there was Mr. Qingtian who supported Kaihai."

"Don't be depressed, the imperial government's temporary sea ban is to eliminate Japanese pirates. When the sea calms down, the Shibo Department will be reopened." Although Zhu Zhen knew it was not the case, he still comforted him.

"I see." Wang Dayuan nodded, summoned up his courage and said, "Forgive me for saying bluntly, the more the imperial court restricts the sea, the more rampant the Japanese pirates will be."

"I know that the more the sea is banned, the more lucrative the smuggling will be. The so-called 'Japanese pirates' will naturally grow stronger." Zhu Zhen nodded knowingly.

"That's right..." Wang Dayuan looked at the young Highness in shock, and couldn't help admiring: "It's really a famous teacher who produces a high-level apprentice. Your Highness can tell the truth with just one word."

"Hehe, that's it." Zhu Zhen smiled reservedly, thinking that in these matters, I am my teacher's teacher, okay?

"However, there are still some conservative voices in the court now, and they are constantly advocating a comprehensive sea ban." Zhu Zhen sighed again, half-truthfully said: "My father is also vacillating, so I sent this king to the sea to have a look... ..."

"That's it." Wang Dayuan thought he understood why the dignified prince appeared at sea.

"I hope that when I go back, I can come up with a strategy to persuade my father not to ban the sea. I wonder if Mr. Wang has a good strategy to teach me?" Zhu Zhen humbly asked for advice.

"Let this old man think about it." Wang Dayuan had a well-thought-out plan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In my humble opinion, there are three strategies."

"Oh?" Zhu Zhen said happily, "Sir, please tell me."

"One is to take the initiative to attack. The Japanese pirates come from the sea. If they only defend on land, they will be too passive. Therefore, we should form a powerful navy to go abroad, destroy the thief ships, destroy the thief's nest, and defend the enemy from outside the country. The border is safe."

"Well said!" Zhu Zhenzhang praised: "Coastal defense, coastal defense must be defended in the sea, sir, you have great insight!"

"Secondly, cut off its root cause. In fact, there have always been Japanese pirates, but they were not so destructive before. Since Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen's old department, and local tyrants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang fled to the sea and joined forces with Japanese pirates, the harm of Japanese pirates has only come to an end. It's getting serious."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"In this regard, we can combine suppression and appeasement, and take a two-pronged approach. While resolutely suppressing the heinous Japanese pirate gangs, send envoys to recruit those who are willing to surrender, and they can also be organized into a navy to attack the remaining Japanese pirates."

"Besides, the Japanese pirates came from Japan. If we can get the Japanese imperial court to prohibit their people from going out to sea as pirates and crack down on the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates will naturally be eliminated day by day." Wang Dayuan continued.

"But I heard that Japan is very unfriendly to us." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "At the beginning of the country, they even killed our envoys."

What the sixth child is talking about is that when Boss Zhu first came to the throne, he issued an edict ordering the surrounding vassal states to submit to Ming Dynasty.What Koryo, Annan, Champa and the like quickly sent envoys to pay tribute.Only Japan was lucky enough to repel two invasions by the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty, so it thought it could be on an equal footing with the Celestial Empire, so it ignored it.

This made Boss Zhu very angry.In addition, there was a serious Japanese invasion along the coast, which made Boss Zhu think that it was all caused by Japan.Then he wrote another edict with harsh words, just like Lao Tzu training his son, he reprimanded the Emperor of Japan, saying:
"If you are a minister, you will come to the court with a watch, if you are not a minister, you will repair your army and strengthen yourself. I will order the boat master to falsely report to the islands and bind the king. '

If you are willing to surrender, then hurry up to proclaim your surrender; if you don’t want to, hurry up and mobilize your troops, and wait for us to send sailors to the island to arrest you.

These words were too overbearing, and Prince Huailiang of Japan was so angry that he killed the envoy...

Prince Huailiang also wrote back a letter from Boss Zhu:

'If you go along, you may not be born, and if you go against it, you may not die.What is there to be afraid of when we meet in front of Helan Mountain and chat about playing games? '

Knowing that the envoy was killed and seeing the mocking letter, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very angry and prepared to send troops to attack Japan.

However, Liu Bowen advised Zhu Yuanzhang to be cautious in attacking Japan with the example of the Yuan Dynasty attacking Japan and returning home twice.Moreover, Wang Baobao was still alive at that time, and Sichuan and Yunnan were not pacified, so how could he go to sea to fight Japan?
What level of military strategist is Boss Zhu?After calming down, I also realized that now is obviously not the time to attack Japan.Only then did he give up indignantly.

"Actually, it's because our envoy found the wrong person." Wang Dayuan said with a faint smile: "Japan is now similar to the Southern and Northern Dynasties of our country. There are two emperors and two regimes. The Southern Dynasty regime where the envoy is sent is the backstage of the Japanese pirates. Naturally, there will be no good results.

"You might as well look to the regime of the Northern Dynasty. As long as it can weaken the regime of the Southern Dynasty, they will be very happy."
