"Now that there are legal channels, why do we still bother to be Japanese pirates? Therefore, the Japanese pirate rebellion stopped immediately."

"Qi Jiguang went to Jizhou in the north to guard the border, while Yu Dayou went to Lingnan to rebel."

"After Longqing lifted the ban, it brought a steady stream of silver to the Ming Dynasty. According to statistics, two-thirds of the world's silver at that time flowed into the Ming Dynasty, which shows the importance of openness."

"In the late Ming Dynasty, it actually started to open up. Although the degree was not very high, the effect was very obvious. Both the economy and technology have improved to a certain extent."

"After the Qing army entered the country, the opening up of the Ming Dynasty came to an abrupt end. At this time, the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty. However, at that time, Taiwan was still independent of the Qing Dynasty and was the territory of the Zheng family."

"In order to regain Taiwan, Shunzhi and Kangxi once again opened the sea ban and announced the seclusion of the country."

"After Kangxi pacified the Three Feuds and recovered Taiwan, he immediately abolished the order to move borders and ban seas, and opened four foreign trade windows in one go: Songjiang, Ningbo, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou."

"So, the reason why the Qing Dynasty became so rich in the early days was mainly because it opened up the country. During the Kangxi and Yongzheng years, it was generally open, and the Qing Dynasty's national destiny also prospered."

"Kangxi became a little faint in his later years. Although this incident did not happen during the Kangxi period due to cultural differences, it must have been blamed."

"But during the Qianlong period, all other ports were suddenly closed, leaving only the Guangzhou Thirteenth Line."

"Openness has been severely weakened and the economies of other coastal provinces have been severely hit."

"However, the performance of Guangzhou Thirteen Banks is remarkable, making the whole of Guangdong extremely rich."

“Since Guangzhou’s Thirteenth Line was the only passage of the Maritime Silk Road preserved by the Qing Dynasty, it became the main source of the Qing court’s foreign trade revenue and was known as the Southern Treasury of the Emperor.”

"Although history has been reversed, such a treaty port has been opened after all. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, so many treaty ports were forced to open, let alone that."

"Therefore, the Qing Dynasty did not completely close the country, and private and overseas trade remained uninterrupted."

"Only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Houcong were completely closed-door to the country."

"Throughout the entire history, there is only one era where the country was completely closed off, leaving no gaps at all. In the beginning, everyone was not very developed, so it didn't matter whether it was closed off or not."

"But by the Jiajing period, overseas technological development had already made certain breakthroughs. The Ming Dynasty also adopted a closed-door strategy, which was enough to make the Ming Dynasty gradually lag behind others."

"Seclusion is a mistake of the times. In my opinion, there are two other mistakes that affect the times, which is to let go of two countries."

"A Japanese pirate and a Korean."

"First of all, this Japanese country is our neighboring country. The earliest they were familiar with it should be traced back to the time when Qin Shihuang's warlock Xu Fu discovered this country when he was looking for the elixir of immortality and lived in this country."

"This should be the origin of the Japanese country, but this statement is only recognized by some people. If it is not the case, there will be no way to know going forward."

"This Japanese country sent envoys to study in the Tang Dynasty as early as the Tang Dynasty."

"Since then, the Japanese country has absorbed the Central Plains culture. Even today's Sakura Country can also find Chinese characters. This is just one of them. The Central Plains culture has a very profound impact on them." "But these people are all a group of people. A scoundrel*, he will attack his "teacher" after learning, a typical white-eyed wolf."

"So, our descendants are also very disgusted with this country. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Flower Planting Country has many records of sending troops to the Sakura Country. Of course, there are failures and there are successes. Anyway, they are sworn enemies, enemies of the country and the family."

"There were probably two successes, one was during the reign of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty."

"The great and wise Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty governed the Tang Dynasty very well, and the Japanese country yearned for it. He sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty many times to study. After learning, the Japanese country became arrogant and became arrogant."

"They took advantage of the death of Li Shimin and went to the Korean Peninsula many times to provoke, and they also waited for opportunities to invade the Korean Peninsula area affiliated with the Tang Empire at that time."

"Tang Taizong couldn't bear this. He sent General Liu Rengui and 170 warships to rush to the aid of neighboring countries. In the end, a battle broke out at the mouth of Baijiang River and defeated the Japanese army in one fell swoop."

"This battle established the pattern of Northeast Asia for the next 800 years."

"The second time was the Battle of Lulianghai commanded by Ming Dynasty general Li Rusong in the middle and late Ming Dynasty."

"This is a famous war in history where a small number of people defeated a large number. The North Korean side that was used as a reference had the famous general Yi Sun-shin. Anyway, the Korean Peninsula was saved in the end."

"As for the many failures, the most famous one was during the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty first marched into Japan in 1275, and the location was chosen in the nearest Kitakyushu region."

"The first battle took place on Tsushima Island, the gateway between Japan and the Korean Peninsula."

"First, the Yuan army chose to attack quietly from Hepu on the Korean Peninsula. Soon they successfully landed on Tsushima Island, completely wiped out the Japanese troops on the island, and occupied Tsushima Island."

"In 1281, Kublai Khan ordered the second expedition to Japan and sent about 15 troops, which was the largest fleet at that time."

"However, the second expedition seemed to be much more difficult than the first. At that time, the Yuan army chose to divide its troops into two groups to find a landing site."

"But due to the strong resistance from the Japanese troops guarding the coast, the Yuan army spent too much time searching for a landing site."

"After landing, they were intercepted by Japanese army troops. At that time, the Japanese army's equipment had greatly improved compared to the first time, so the Yuan army suffered a lot of casualties. Also, due to epidemics, the progress of the Yuan army was slow."

"As a result, after procrastinating again and again, the Yuan army wandered at sea for many days and encountered a strong typhoon."

"Moreover, this time the losses of the Yuan army were even more severe. The hastily built and crude fleet was even more vulnerable to the powerful typhoon. Almost the entire Yuan army was destroyed, with more than half of them dead. The second expedition to Japan was therefore declared a failure. .”

"So, even now, this country still has the saying "divine wind", which means to thank the divine wind for its blessing."

"In the Ming Dynasty at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang made a mistake. He did not destroy the Japanese country, and listed the Japanese country as a "country not to be conquered" in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions", thus leaving a disaster for future generations."

"As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang established the illustrious Ming Dynasty in 1368. At that time, people from all over the world came to worship him, and all countries became ministers."

"But only the Japanese country was extremely dishonest. They not only satirized Zhu Yuanzhang for his hypocrisy, but also killed five envoys of the Ming Dynasty." (End of this chapter)
