Chapter 768 Yingerdai is Back

Doduo was in a very bad mood. Seeing him so unhappy, he asked a little angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Lord Baylor, master, you... are back!" the guard stammered a little excitedly, "General Ying Erdai has already entered the city just now!"

"What? Yingerdai is back?" Dodo asked in surprise.

Dorgon was not calm when he heard it, and immediately asked: "How much food did you bring back?"

Two months ago, Yingerdai went to the country of Wa to buy grain under the orders of the two of them.To be honest, in the current situation, Dorgon has placed great hopes in Ying Erdai's trip to Japan.If food can really be bought, the most fatal flaw of the Qing Dynasty can be made up, and many things will not be passive.

"Slaves...slaves have not seen food!"

The guard's answer stunned the two Dorgon brothers, and their faces of surprise turned ugly.

"Bringing so much money over there, why can't you buy food? What a useless slave!" Duoduo couldn't help but sternly cursed.

Dorgon frowned, and lost all thought of welcoming him, so he just ordered: "Let him come to see us immediately!"

"Cha!" The guard led the order to retreat, and after about a quarter of an hour, the guard appeared with Ying Erdai covered in snow.

"Slave Ying'erdai has seen the master, Lord Belle!" Yingerdai knelt down and saluted as soon as he entered.

Duo Duo's face turned black, and when he was about to curse, Dorgon took the lead and said: "Get up, you have worked hard all the way, how are things going?"

Yingerdai got up, and seeing Dodo's face, he knew that he was suppressing his anger. If Dorgon hadn't been there, he would have exploded immediately.

He didn't take it seriously, and replied respectfully to Dorgon: "It's only natural to do things for the master and the Qing Dynasty, no hard work!"

Speaking of this, he caught sight of Doduo's black face and seemed to be about to speak, so he quickly added: "This time, the slave went to the Wa country and only brought back a boatload of grain. It is true that there is not much food in the Wa country. The most important thing is, Wa country has silver mines, they have no shortage of silver!"

As soon as he said that he had brought back a boatload of grain, it was better to get something than nothing, Dorgon and Duoduo immediately looked at each other, and their faces finally looked better.

Among them, Dorgon squeezed a little smile on his face, and said in a better tone: "If you can bring back a boatload of food, it's a boatload of food! Go and rest first!"

Doduo felt that Ying Erdai's trip was a failure, but looking at him, he didn't seem to have this kind of self-consciousness at all, and seemed to be excited, which made him very annoyed!You brought so much money, but in the end there was only a boatload of food, how shameless are you?

Therefore, after Dorgon finished speaking, he saw that Ying Erdai didn't seem to obey, so he couldn't help but shouted: "Go away?"

Yingerdai was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, but then he came back to his senses and knew that his master had this temper, so he could only admit it.He replied respectfully: "This time, the slave brought someone back from the Wo Kingdom, so it's best for the master and Lord Baylor to meet up."

"Who?" Dorgon asked a little surprised when he heard it.

Dodo replied dissatisfied: "What do you see?"

When Dorgon heard this, he turned his head and looked at Duo Duo in dissatisfaction. Seeing that he shut up and bowed his head, he turned around and asked with a slightly serious face, "What's the situation?"

Yingerdai knew that as long as Dorgon was around, he would be the one who made the decision, so he replied respectfully: "Go back to Lord Belle, the Japanese country is now made by General Tokugawa, but he was snatched from General Toyotomi Hideyoshi..."

He introduced the background of the current Wa Kingdom, mainly talking about the wars between the feudal vassals before the Wa Kingdom, and years of wars. In the end, Toyotomi Hideyoshi conquered all the princes and became a complete Wa Kingdom.Later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted to have land on the mainland, and when he took a fancy to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he brazenly launched the Korean War, trying to use North Korea as a springboard to finally conquer the Ming Dynasty.

Dorgon and others knew about this matter, and in the end Wa Kingdom failed, and finally withdrew after two fights.

Ying Erdai introduced the situation afterwards, saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell ill and died during the second war, which forced the soldiers and horses of the Wa Kingdom to retreat.Then Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyori succeeded to the throne and competed with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's general Tokugawa Ieyasu for the world, and was finally defeated and committed seppuku. That's why the current Tokugawa family controls the Wa country.

At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate actually had two people in charge. One was the former general named Tokugawa Hidetada, who was similar to the Supreme Emperor and still held power. The other was the current general named Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was in power in name .

The Tokugawa shogunate was afraid of repeating Toyotomi Hideyoshi's old path, so they didn't want to launch wars abroad, but only thought about how to consolidate the rule of the Tokugawa family and oppress and prevent the princes from all walks of life.Even today, it is ordered that all parts of the country are not allowed to trade with foreign countries. All traders can only trade in Nagasaki and Hirado, because these two places are directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate.In this way, other princes will not be able to enjoy the profits from trade with foreign countries.

After Ying Erdai arrived in the country of Wa, he tried to communicate, and wanted to use the theory that the enemy of the enemy is a friend to communicate with the country of Wa, so that the Qing Dynasty could form an alliance with the country of Wa.However, neither of the two shoguns was interested, so they directly declined.

Hearing this, Duoduo said impatiently: "It's useless to say so much! It's really disappointing!"

Originally, in their estimation, Wa and Ming were mortal enemies, and there was a great possibility that Qing would form an alliance with Wa to deal with Ming together.But things backfired, which made both of them very disappointed!
However, compared to Duduo, Dorgon understood that Yingerdai said these things that seemed to have nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty, and he should not be explaining the reason for his failure in the mission, but explaining the background, which is the same as what he said before. The person you brought must meet, it must be related!

Therefore, after Dodo complained, he stretched out his hand to prevent Dodo from continuing, and then he stared at Yingerdai and asked: "Then who is the person you brought back? Can change the current situation , can it bring benefits to Qing Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Yingerdai finally regained the excitement that had disappeared before, nodded vigorously and said: "Master Belle is wise, what will happen to the relationship between my Qing Dynasty and the Japanese country has a lot to do with this person brought by the slave!"

Speaking of this, he finally answered the original question: "The slave publicized my victory over the Ming Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom, and eventually many people secretly contacted the slave. This person is the most important one among them!"
