In the Age of Discovery, represented by the maritime powers such as Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, it can be said that it has seized a lot of wealth.

As the governor of a squadron of the Portuguese fleet, it is conceivable that with his identity, if he wants to plunder wealth, it is really not difficult.

Just like Japan, if Daliqisi's fleet landed in Japan, it would be no problem to break the countries established by the Ming Dynasty in several places. Just search for millions of taels of gold and silver.

It is not surprising that Daliqisi was able to take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins in one breath, but it also made Chu Yi realize that during this period, the maritime powers such as Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands had already revealed their fangs and began to seize overseas wealth.

Fortunately, because of his reasons, under his guidance or pressure, a considerable number of people took the country's steps and turned their attention overseas.

Although the policy of closing the country to the outside world is a ancestral system, the system has always been broken. The reason why there are a group of people who firmly oppose opening the sea in the court is ultimately for the sake of interests.

The Ming Dynasty banned the sea, but the gentry and powerful people among the people were engaged in private trade, devouring a large amount of wealth.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has opened its own way, when a large number of people are going abroad and gaining a lot of wealth from overseas, it will inevitably attract more people to go out.

When this torrent becomes bigger and bigger, I am afraid that even he or the Emperor of Ming will not be able to stop this torrent. At that time, anyone who dares to speak out and forbids the sea will definitely be the enemy of such a huge torrent.

Faced with such a torrent, unless the army is used, no one can stop this general trend.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi raised his lips slightly and nodded, "Since that's the case, I will give you this opportunity!"

Daliqisi, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yi was willing to agree, which meant that he could save his life.

However, Chu Yi's next words made him suddenly raise his heart.

Chu Yi could only hear: "But before this, I have to feel wronged you and go to the capital first."

Chu Yi made up his mind to select some officers or people with aristocratic backgrounds in the Portuguese fleet, such as Daliqisi, to take them to the capital.

If the officials in the court learned that they could obtain a lot of wealth from these people, they would not know what expression they would have.

One Daliqisi can take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins. I think the Portuguese naval officers who were trusted will definitely be willing to take out a large amount of gold and silver to redeem themselves.

In Tokyo Port, a continuous convoy comes from the direction of Kyoto, an escort team composed of thousands of Ming troops is escorting hundreds of large vehicles.

Each of these big trucks was filled with big boxes, stretching for miles. It was because Lu Dazhu, who was in Kyoto, sent someone to transport the wealth confiscated from the powerful families in Kyoto to this port.

As the nearest port to Kyoto, according to Chu Yi's order, all wealth confiscated from Kyoto will be packed and escorted to this port after selection and classification.

As a large port, although the Port of Tokyo has not been occupied for long, a large number of ships have gathered in the port at this moment.

Because Chu Yi ordered Li Degong and Pang Shiqi to draw a large number of warships to Ishimi Port to fight the Portuguese fleet, the number of warships left in Tokyo Port was not too many, but they were docked with a large number of supply ships.

You should know that Zhai Luan led a hundred thousand troops across the sea in the previous period. In order to carry so many troops, the Ming Dynasty had drawn a large number of ships from the country. Although a considerable number of supply ships had returned to the Ming Dynasty, nearly a hundred merchant ships and supply ships were still docked in this port.

A large number of ships docked in the port, and a large amount of logistics supplies were accumulated here. It can be said that Tokyo Port is definitely a logistics center for the Ming army.

In order to ensure the safety of Tokyo Port, Chu Yi dispatched 10,000 troops to guard Tokyo Port just in case.

Although Ishimi Port has undertaken part of the logistics, as the army approaches Kyoto, the transfer of materials from Ishimi Port to Beijing is too far away, so naturally it is not as convenient as Tokyo Port.

The number of ships gathered in Tokyo Port can be said to be several times that of Ishimi Port.

When a large convoy came slowly from Kyoto City dozens of miles away, the generals in charge of Tokyo Port received the news early and sent troops to pick them up.

A carriage was moving forward slowly, while Yu Dayou, Zhai Luan and others were slightly behind the carriage, which made Zhai Luan, the deputy commander of the army, fall behind. It is conceivable that there is no one else in the owner of the carriage except Chu Yi.

Even a commander of the first army like Lu Dazhu is just equivalent to Zhai Luan in terms of identity, and it will not make Zhai Lan fall behind on the voluntary basis.

Chu Yi simply arranged for Qi Jingtong to send someone to escort Daliqisi and others to Tokyo Port and then brought people to Tokyo Port.

It has been almost a year since Chu Yi left Beijing to conquer Japan. Kyoto has been taken down. Although many of the local daimyos have not been destroyed. Even with Kyoto being taken down, many of the Japanese daimyos have shown signs of unity.

But Chu Yi never cared about the names of Japan.

After all, after destroying more than a dozen countries, Chu Yi knew the components of the famous names in Japan.

Perhaps decades later, after experiencing the baptism of the Warring States Period, a group of heroes such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc. were born in the chaos of the Japanese.

Even after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the military power of Japan, he led such an elite soldier who had gone through troubled times to land in North Korea, trying to provoke the status of the Ming Empire.

The result was that the Ming Dynasty was suppressed casually. It is conceivable that Japan was easily suppressed by the Ming Dynasty in its heyday in the future, not to mention that a large number of future Japanese heroes and generals did not grow up during this period.

With more than 100,000 elite troops, as long as they are not too incompetent in the generals of the commander, it is not difficult to completely pacify Japan.

Chu Yi is preparing to return to Beijing. During this trip to Japan, Chu Yi has gained a lot. Not to mention anything else, the luck that Chu Yi cares about the most has soared in the past year, from the beginning of his landing in Japan to the present.

Chu Yi has roughly summarized one rule after another. Whenever a place's name is destroyed, the fortune altar will vibrate, and the fortune will soar as many as tens of thousands.

Chu Yi had no doubt at all that if the remaining local names were completely destroyed, the luck he could get was likely to reach as much as two million.

Such a lot of luck can be said to be far beyond Chu Yi's expectations.

However, Chu Yi is preparing to return to Beijing. The situation is very good. Although there are still a group of famous names in Japan that have not been pacified, Chu Yi can easily pacify Japan by handing it to Zhai Luan or Lu Dazhu. It doesn’t make much sense for him to stay here. After all, he has verified that whether he is doing it himself or not, these famous names in Japan will be destroyed, and the fortune altar will gain luck.

Another point is that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has sent people to pass on orders several times, hoping that he can return to Beijing as soon as possible.

In addition, during this battle with the Spanish fleet, Chu Yi, who had already had the idea of ​​returning to Beijing, finally made a decision.

Tokyo Port

As Chu Yi's convoy arrived, the huge convoy from Kyoto also arrived at the port that afternoon.

The person in charge of escorting was a guerrilla general. The guerrilla general carefully handed over several extremely thick books to Lin Pingzhi, and then handed them over to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi looked around casually, his eyes shrank.

The account book records the detailed data obtained from the confiscation in Kyoto this time.

Although Chu Yi had been mentally prepared for a long time, he also knew that Japan, which had not encountered foreign enemies in thousands of years, had accumulated a lot of wealth.

At least 30% of these wealth was deposited in Kyoto. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's house search in Kyoto suddenly emptied the wealth accumulated by Japan for hundreds or thousands of years.

Although Japan is an island country, its gold and silver minerals are very rich, with more than one rich mine like Shimiji Yinshan. You can imagine how much wealth you have accumulated over the years.

Five thousand five million taels of silver, six million taels of gold, jewelry, and jade...

No wonder Chu Yi was so shocked. With a large amount of gold and silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty, Japan still accumulated so much wealth. This was just Kyoto. If those local daimyos were completely pacified, it would be possible to loot at least tens of millions of taels of gold and silver.

Thinking about the fact that Japan later claimed hundreds of millions of taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty, Chu Yi suddenly felt that the tens of millions of taels of gold and silver on this account book were not that much.

Of course, Chu Yi also knew in his heart that with the American silver and Japanese silver flowing into China in large quantities, China could accumulate a large amount of silver. During this period, it was definitely beyond imagination that he was able to plunder so much silver from Japan.

You should know that Chu Yi confiscated his home several times in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, the gentry who gathered almost half of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. The powerful and powerful people were confiscated and exterminated their families, but they only received hundreds of millions of silver.

Although the Ming Dynasty has never been rich in recent years, as the national treasury is full, the court has spent money on a big deal. A large number of projects are launched at the same time, taking them from the people and using them for the people. I am afraid that most of the national treasury has been spread out now.

Chu Yi could imagine what would happen if he returned to Beijing with the huge wealth he had obtained from Kyoto.

Continue to code, there will be some later.
