.Chapter 210: Xinzhong’s Big Bread

Zhang Juzheng looked at the loyalty documents, or letters of vote, sent by local officials on the table, and felt full of emotion. He had never thought of getting to this point a few years ago. The world has changed, but it has to continue. The place has been stable and the imperial power has disappeared, and then constitutionalism should begin. But before this, there is another thing to ask the confidant general, 'Is the king in North Sidao of North Korea still peaceful during your absence?'

Qi Jiguang replied, "According to the report of his subordinates, he was quite peaceful." During this year, Qi Jiguang led most of the Qi family army to fight in the Ming Dynasty, and defeated the royal army to a great success, which made great contributions. The royal army could not even resist the Japanese pirates. However, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army trained was still 22:1,000 for the Japanese pirates who disrupted the southeast coast without being equipped with water-cooled machine guns. It was no problem to equip the water-cooled machine guns to deal with these local troops. The Qi family army suffered almost no losses on the battlefields in the Ming Dynasty this year, and the occasional losses were also caused by marching or diseases. This caused a greater psychological blow to the royal party.

Zhang Juzheng picked up a few pieces of information and read it again, and couldn't help but smile, 'It's really a strange guy.' Since China opened a sea ban, merchants from all over the country have made it very convenient to go to sea for trade. Among them, the spies of the Jinyiwei also arrived in Japan and spent more than half a year to sort out a set of information about major Japanese forces. Among them, the information about the two families stationed in North Korea and Oda Nobunaga is the most detailed. Of course, Zhang Juzheng now knows what the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and the Japanese king Hiroshitaki.' Judging from the information, this guy is pitiful and pitiful. He is a guy who suddenly appears, but it is indeed very powerful. At least in Japan, he helped his lord conquer the world and was willing to be a rich man. At that time, he had the chance to win the world.'

Qi Jiguang didn't find it strange, "I have been fighting with the Japanese pirates for many years, but I know some of the inside stories about the Japanese pirates. These things are not strange. Those who can establish a foothold in Japan are famous families with more than a hundred years. Even if emerging forces rise by a strong person, their retainers and territory will fall apart with the death of the strong. This king is still smart. Our Celestial Dynasty is rich for only three generations, but officials can be used for generations, while Japan is expensive for only three generations, but merchants can pass on it for longer. It's just that the adults gave him the position of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, which must have made him more upset in the shopping mall."

Zhang Juzheng gave Qi Jiguang a blank look and said, "I will also give you a position as a Jinyiwei Qianhu."

‘Mr.’ Qi Jiguang quickly thanked him, ‘This is a king who has a few more troubles, and he actually eliminated the Jiannu on the northern border of North Korea. The Jiannu whom Li Chengliang picked was really useless.’

‘So, Jiannu repeatedly invaded North Korea some time ago. Did you and Li Chengliang work together to do the border?’

‘Yes, lord. In fact, it is also for the sake of lord and lord. Wang Bieqing, that lord used the resources of Japan at hand to add a lot of benefits to the people of North Sidao in North Sidao. In the first year, we, Nansidao, relying on supporting agriculture and serenity, had some advantages, but in the second year, the living standards of the people of North Sidao have already caught up. The people of North Sidao are now looking forward to the Korean king not going back.’ Human beings are the most realistic animals. Since the adults from the Celestial Empire have managed North Korea well and everyone lives and work in peace and contentment, no one wants to let the North Korean king come back to carry out the old trick. Just like there are two visas in front of a person, one is to go to Europe and the other is to go to the Middle East, most people will make the right choice.

‘Then does this assassination in Busan have anything to do with you and Lee Sung-liang?’

Qi Jiguang waved his hand quickly, "This matter has nothing to do with his subordinates, I only found out afterwards. How dare I send someone to assassinate the Japanese envoy just after the talks were over?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't care if it was done by Qi Jiguang, "This is OK."

‘Sir, this really doesn’t exist.’

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, "Since there is really nothing, then forget it. Anyway, the assassination guest was hanged, so that the North Korean rebels and local troops could be settled, and the North Korean king is still in our hands."

‘Yes, sir.’

'This time your Qi family's military has made outstanding achievements. I decided to let you expand the Qi family army. The scale is only 60,000 people, and the equipment, money and food will be paid by the court.' Zhang Juzheng also felt that the Qi family army's model was good and could be promoted vigorously. The facts proved that Qi Jiguang's loyalty was also good. In a year, Zhu Moumou, who had killed many soldiers to fight for the king, was covered with blood from the feudal imperial family. Now it is time to give him a reward of favor, and he is also given a candy bean.

‘Mr. Mr. Xie.’ Qi Jiguang was very moved. When he was conquering North Korea, the Qi family army was only three or four thousand. Although it has expanded a little, it is still less than 10,000 people.

‘Don’t rush to thank me for the first time. The court is preparing to build the Qi family army into a mobile unit. In the future, we will rely on General Qi to protect the safety of the capital and the decay of the nine border towns.’

‘The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the last thing is to understand this principle.’ Of course Qi Jiguang knew that it would be impossible to build a unit of 60,000 people to guard the four southern roads of North Korea, and there were not even so many people in the firearm battalion that guarded the capital. It seems that the imperial guards in Beijing will be the Qi family army in the future.

After Qi Jiguang left, Zhang Juzheng knocked on the Eight Immortals Table alone, "Editor the new army, lay off the military households, spread the ranks of people into acres, clear the land, and reform the administration. There are still many things to do. However, what Qi Jiguang said is right. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Who made me in this position? For the sake of the millions of people in the world, I still have to fight for it."

Pyongyang, North Korea.

The development of North Fourth Road in North Korea has gradually become formal, but the talent selection system has not changed yet, and it still relies on the imperial examination. However, the eight-part essay is abolished. As an official, you must at least read and read, but the problem now is that except for those students preparing to take the imperial examination, few people read and read. It is twice as difficult for students in North Korea to take the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. Although North Korea has writing, the government still needs to use Chinese characters to set questions for such a sacred matter. The interview answers are also in Chinese. In other words, North Korean students must learn bilingual.

Now I am planning a trip to Ming Dynasty. Since the amulet of Dele Jinyiwei Qianhu, I can't wait to take it out and use it. But in North Fourth Road, I have mastered local personnel, money, grain, military and political vassal kings. This brand is basically useless in North Fourth Road, North Fourth Road, and only by going to Ming Dynasty can its value be revealed. With the identity of Jinyiwei Qianhu, whoever wants to sleep with, whoever wants to sleep with must recommend himself to the pillow. If you want to pick the official seal of the official seal, you will pick the official seal of the official. If you want to kill someone, you will not see the sun the next day. This is really a good thing. Of course, I will not go to Beijing City, and there are many people with the same position as me or who are more than me.

Everything was about to stop, but when I got on board, I met the current Japanese Minister of Taizheng, Nobuchad Oda, who arrived in Pyongyang. Needless to say, I was definitely not here to visit. Although the nominal Oda family's supervisor was not interesting, I was not as idle as I was going abroad to travel and enjoy the waters to pass the time.

‘Mr. Zuo is now half the King of Korea. It’s really enviable.’ Although Nobuta Oda is known as the King of Japan, the one who can really make trouble is part of Ohashi and Mino, more than 100,000 stones, which is equivalent to a small daimyo. North Korea’s North Fourth Road is already half of the island of Honshu, Japan. It is naturally envious of Oda Nobuta Oda.

‘His Highness Shin-chung is also the king of Japan. Why should I envy me, a half-nameless vassal king?’

Nobuchadaka Oda first smiled bitterly, "I'll make you laugh at the Minister Zuo, and you also know that I, the Japanese king, are in name only."

‘This, let’s wait slowly.’ There is no way. There are many people who have been crown prince for decades. Moreover, Oda Nobuta is much better than being the crown prince, and he finally ascended the throne.

‘Is the Minister Zuo going to go out to sea?’ Nobuta Oda said nonsense. What else can I do when I met me at the pier? If Nobuta Oda Oda had dozens of minutes at night, I might have already boarded the boat and went out to sea along the Datong River.

‘Yes, go to Ming Dynasty to do some business.’ This time I went out, I still used the identity of a merchant as a cover. A fleet was filled with North Korea’s specialty products - ores. North Korea has many mines, but the metallurgical technology is unsatisfactory. Most of the ores were shipped to Ming Dynasty for sale, and then exchanged for various iron tools. One entry and one sale of raw materials actually made a lot of money, and they were all made by the metallurgical technicians in Ming Dynasty. However, there was no way, this ore could not be used as scissors and nails, so what should he do. As for the destination, it was Nanjing, where Emperor Hongwu made the Dragon Court. When he got ashore, as long as he had the waist card of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, it was more effective than any temporary residence permit household registration book.

‘Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you a long story.’

I urged in my heart, "You should say it quickly, I'm in a hurry." I have more than 100,000 yuan a minute and I don't have time to chat here."

‘This year, the father of the Supreme King has agreed to let me lead troops to fight in the future.’

‘Good news.’

Oda Nobuta said with a frown, "But now I can only fight bandits in remote mountainous areas. What's the use of such a martial arts merit?"

There is nothing we can do. We can't let several daimyos deliberately rebel and ask you to lead your troops to wipe out the soldiers one by one. That's too much, what if you lose? Now Kafari Tiger and Echigo Dragon are still alive. The Shimazu brothers and Otomo family in Kyushu are very conscious of the current affairs and did not suffer much loss in the process of Japanese unification. Any peace is superficial, but in fact, a volcano will erupt with just a little opportunity.

Nobuta continued, Oda continued, "My uncle, please think of a solution for me. I am afraid that when I get old, I will no longer be as aggressive as I am now."

I patted my forehead, 'This is a difficult thing to do.'

‘I just came to ask my uncle for advice when I knew it was difficult. I hope my uncle will give me advice.’

‘Since you are so sincere, I will think about it for you.’ My time is tight too. Seeing that many wives and concubines have boarded the boat, I was waiting for me. My eyes rolled and I thought about it. ‘I have something I have wanted to do. First, I can’t take time, and second, I either don’t do it. Once I try my hand, I will touch my whole body, which may make things worse. So, do you still dare to do it?’

Mars almost popped up in Oda Nobuta's eyes and just asked, 'Is the thing we are going to do the right side?'

‘Don’t worry about this.’ I promised, ‘We are the absolute justice party.’

Nobuta Oda shook my hands excitedly, "That's good, for justice. Even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, I'll go on a journey. Please tell me my uncle."

‘Hisan Highness the Minister of the Taizheng tobacco store that sold Fusuo cream opened by the Nan barbarians of Hirado, Hakata, Jekimachi and Ishiyamachi.’

Nobuta Oda thought about it carefully and nodded, "Yes, I have heard of it. The Fushou Paste sold by the Nanbarbarians said that it poisoned many samurai. Many people lost their strength to hold the knife after taking it for a long time. Every day, they just wanted to take a sip. There is no need to say that those who sell children and girls have sold all their treasure knives. Some samurai sold their ancestral treasures just to take a sip of Fushou Paste. My father and I once thought of banning the Nanbarbarians from opening tobacco shops, but these places are commercial towns, and they are places with great power in the town. I am afraid that it will be bad to be hard."

Unexpectedly, Oda Nobuta and Oda Nobunaga also noticed this. This would save a lot of quarrels. In fact, due to the strength of the whale house in Kinki, there are no tobacco shops except the foreign industries of Jeecho and Ishiyama, at least not on the streets. If so, the Kudo family or the whale house immediately took people to search the house and smash the shop. ‘The matters of the town crowd are covered by me, I will ask the whale house to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Minister of the Taizheng. But this Fushou cream has harmed many people. It is useless to just ban the Southern Barbarians from opening a tobacco shop. As far as I know, the Southern Barbarians have attracted many local merchants to do drug business such as Fushou cream. Even someone opened a tobacco shop so far away from the Eshuo National Box House. If it weren’t for my whale house that strictly prohibited the opening of a tobacco shop in Kinki, I would probably have

Kinki's Fushou Paste has long been flooding. Since we have to do it, we must eradicate the roots. These Nanman Fushou Paste merchants have harmed so many people, and it is time to liquidate them. I think it is better to confiscate all Fushou Paste and destroy them in a concentrated manner. The merchants who operate Fushou Paste will be publicly executed, whether in the Nanman or Japan. This way, the harm of drugs can be banned. Moreover, through this incident, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Fame, will reach the peak of Japan. I really want to see rows of European invaders being beaten and advanced by trumpets and then being swept down by machine guns. However, European merchant ships now come to Asia and still have to go to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and can wander on the sea for several months. They have to wait for the news to go back, and then send troops there to sea. Well, it seems that even Oda Nobuta takes at least one year after taking action to ban drugs.

Oda Nobuta is not unaware of the power of the Southern Barbarians. The warships docked in Jie Town are twice as large as Japan's largest Ship. What's more, iron cannons and the collapse of the country that changed the course of the war were brought by the Southern Barbarians, but these are all small matters. Oda Nobuta was moved by the last sentence. If Oda Nobuta's name can really reach a new level of reputation through this matter, it is still possible to consider killing several South Barbarian businessmen. After all, there are the legendary Daughter Guikuto and his father behind him. Even if the Nan Barbarians come to take revenge, my uncle will definitely have a way. 'If the Nan Barbarians come to take revenge at that time...'

'Don't worry, everything is in my control.' I patted Oda Nobuta's shoulder and said mysteriously, 'I will hold you up when the sky falls. I'll give you a note later. You go to the whale house in Kaziyuan to secretly get ten new firearms. First, train your subordinates to use it. The revenge against the Southern Barbarians will depend on them. Remember to keep it confidential. Even if we can't stand it, it's nothing. You must know that Japan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. I saw the Korean War. Ming sent 200,000 troops. Before the drug control, remember to say hello to the Ming Dynasty and denounce the harm of Fushou Paste. I think Ming Dynasty will agree.'

‘Hey. Uncle, I understand. I will send someone to handle it now.’

Since Westerners began to sell opium in Southeast Asia, they would inevitably come several Opium Wars. In Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, more than a dozen countries led by China, millions of silver flowed from Europe every year. The strong demand for exquisite oriental artifacts, spice dyes and shortage of silver forced them to adopt the gold standard to stabilize the market. In the later stage, a large number of silver utensils in the noble family were melted into large silver balls and sent to the Celestial Empire to buy tea. Now Europeans urgently needed a commodity to open up the market for them. Now Europe imported from Southeast Asia mostly luxury goods such as glass products, velvet, carpets, etc.

This thing is either possible or not. Although the profit is considerable, the market is not large. After all, the number of people in power in Asia is much smaller than that in Europe. In Europe, the territory is not as large as the Celestial Empire. The territory is divided into hundreds of priests and marquis states every day. Although the Holy See is nominally ruling the various countries, the Holy See cannot control the war between the Principalities and the Duchy. Whoever wins is still the child of God and believes in God. The Holy See is only sensitive to peasant uprisings or pagan countries. That kind of thing must be resolutely suppressed. If China's famous saying is the rebellion of scholars and fails in three years, then Europe's famous saying is the rebellion of peasants and fails in a thousand years.

As a Chinese, it would be a great thing to see the Opium War break out in Japan in his lifetime. In short, I think so. Europe has not yet carried out industrial **, and although its strength is stronger than Japan, it is still limited. There is no need to see this naval warfare. The Japanese are not opponents at all. These pioneers of the Age of Discovery were not said with their mouths. They are really powerful, without a chart or compass, and relying on infinite courage or

It was the pursuit of profit, so he took a boat to the vast sea. However, on land, the Japanese who had been martial for hundreds of years were still fighting. As for the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, don’t think about it. The Ming Dynasty rarely had a precedent for sending troops overseas. If the land that could not be cultivated and planted and connected to the Ming Dynasty continent, the Ming Dynasty court had no interest. Of course, it was okay to support it. Ryukyu, one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, was controlled by the Shimazu family for many years, but he did not see any reaction from the Ming Dynasty.

Nobuta Oda took a big cake I drew back to Japan. I boarded the boat and went down the Datong River to the sea and headed straight to the Ming Dynasty.

Flagship, main cabin.

The sound of "Yiku" kept coming from the main cabin. Not long after, two maids carried a limp concubine out. The dog who was still queuing at the door couldn't help feeling very happy when he saw it. "It seems that the master is in a good mood today and has good physical strength."

‘Yes.’ Ah Xing, who was behind the Dog, replied, ‘I don’t know what medicine I took wrong, so many sisters couldn’t help him.’

An excited voice came from the main cabin: "Next. Speed, Speed. What era is there, there is no efficiency at all."
