Nagasaki.

Shortly after the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciwei, arrived at Nagasaki Port, he asked the Ming Dynasty's Nagasaki Governor's Office to send people to contact the Japanese Riohe Fan.

Because Zhu Ciwei planned to build a railway trunk line between Nagasaki and Yanagawa Castle, and it will be operated by the Daming Nagasaki Railway Branch.

"Your Highness! I wonder why you suddenly wanted to build a railway with the Yodoriha clan of Japan?"

Chen Que, who was promoted to the senator of the Governor's Office of Nagasaki, also asked Zhu Ciwei at this time.

"Of course, it's about making plans for the future!"

"Before I came to Nagasaki, I have read a lot of books about Nagasaki and Japan. After receiving my appointment as the governor of Nagasaki, I made up for information on Nagasaki's recent years. I found that Nagasaki's previous governors have over-attentioned to the Chineseization and construction of Nagasaki, and ignored that Nagasaki has another important value!"

Zhu Ciwei replied.

“There is another value?”

Chen Que was quite puzzled and hurriedly bowed: "I would like to ask your highness for advice!"

"Nagasaki is also a bridgehead for our Ming Dynasty to annex the Japanese territory!"

"Nasaki and Heiyizhou are the two iron fists that I watched from the Ming Dynasty. They can be used to hit Japan at any time!"

"Of course, Nagasaki is my Daming Enclave, which is threatened by Japan at any time!"

"The previous governor of Nagasaki basically only paid attention to how to make Nagasaki more Chinese and prosperous internal construction, but forgot to use Nagasaki as the closest area to the Ming Dynasty, and had the obligation to influence more places in Japan as the imperial court!"

"So, my Highness is going to build a railway between Nagasaki and Yanagawa, and we will run it!"

"With this railway, it will be easier to control the Liuhe Fan in the future!"

Zhu Ciwei replied.

After hearing this, Chen Que suddenly realized that he was a prince, and his vision was not limited to Nagasaki, but he had the ambition to annex the entire Japan.

But Chen Que also advised Zhu Ciwei: "Your Highness must also know that Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo and bury the people. The lower officials believed that the king could not only think about expanding his territory. His successive governors of Nagasaki were not children of the royal family, nor was his legitimate son like His Highness. Naturally, he only knew how to benefit the Han people who moved in and transform the local Japanese! Therefore, he did not have the intention to invade the Japanese country, but only knew that he had the responsibility to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty! The lower officials said this and only wanted to ask Your Highness, in addition to making it easier to control the Liuhe clan, and then gradually erode the Japanese abroad, would it be beneficial to the people of Nagasaki?"

"You think your highness is ambition? No!"

"You have been to Nagasaki for a long time. You should know that in Nagasaki's current situation, if you do not use your economic advantages to connect with other parts of Japan, and then attract all the manpower and raw materials in Japan, how can Nagasaki, which has only developed commerce but not developed agriculture, grow its wealth?"

"The first generation of Han people who moved to Nagasaki have begun to grow old! Their descendants, that is, the second generation of Han people, are now much larger than the first generation. If they want to have the same wealth as their fathers, or even surpass them, they need to be richer, and they need to have more cheap labor and other resources for them to use. Using Xingming Society's theory, it can be considered to be a way to exploit them!"

"But if we don't attract more population and other resources from other parts of Japan for him to exploit, where can we attract them from? Other places are separated by the sea!"

"So, if you want Nagasaki to be in a prosperous state, you have to build Nagasaki into Jiangnan here. Just as the local Jiangnan benefited from the supply of materials across the country, Nagasaki also benefited from the supply of resources in other parts of Japan!"

Zhu Ciwei said.

After hearing this, Chen Que was enlightened: "What Your Highness said is! I didn't expect anything!"

"It is still limited by transportation. In the area that originally belonged to the entire Japan, Edo has gradually taken the opportunity to catch up with Nagasaki. If the railway can be built to connect to other cities in Japan, our Ming Dynasty will continue to maintain its central position."

Chen Que then replied.

"It's good that you understand. Building a railway between Nagasaki and other cities in Japan to facilitate the annexation of Japan is what my fifth brother mentioned before. I am not as good as him in military affairs, but I still have some skills in this internal affairs and people's livelihood!"

Zhu Ciwei said with a smile.

Chen Que then said, "But, Your Highness, the Liuhe vassal family will not agree to us to build a railway for him! Because, although their vassal lords have already been subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, in fact, their vassal lords are still secretly loyal to the Japanese shogunate, and the Liuhe vassal lord Rikha Tsunmao is also very smart, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not see through our plan."

"You always have to try it before you know that if he is a smart person, you should know that being a lackey of the Ming Dynasty is better than being the lackey of the emperor!"

Zhu Ciwei said.

"What Your Highness said is! But this Japanese country is different from Korea. Because its territory does not connect to the mainland, its civilization is quite different from our Han civilization. Although it is influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism, it does not have the Taoist culture of China. Therefore, its nationality is stronger than that of North Korea and the Ryukyu countries. I am afraid that he will be willing to establish Hua Zhongmao, and other forces in his vassal states will not be willing!"

Chen Que replied.

"Okay, I'll send someone to test it first. I will write a telegram to my father and ask the court for the consent of the court!"

Zhu Ciwei waved his hand.

"Well, the following officials think, why not let the Japanese compradors hired by our official factory in Yanagawa first contact. If Tachibana Soshima is interested, we will send officials to contact us. At that time, I guess the court's reply will be said!"

"feasible!"

...

"What, Nagasaki is going to build a railway to my Yanagawa Castle?"

After hearing this, Yanagawa Daimai Tadashiro Tadashi was quite shocked and stood up directly from his seat.

The Japanese comprador Tian Zhen replied: "Yes! In the Nagasaki in the Celestial Dynasty, the Governor is the eldest son of the Holy Emperor, who intends to benefit the Han and Japanese people in both places. Therefore, he wants to build a railway between Nagasaki and Yanagawa, which will help spread Chinese civilization, educate the people of both places, and help trade!"

"It's a bullshit! This is to completely annex my Yanagawa family, and even the new governor of Nagasaki may not have the ambition to erode my Yamato step by step!"

Tachiha Tadashi's son Tachimao replied.

"Father Lord, we cannot anger His Highness, the eldest prince! He is likely to be the future lord of the Celestial Empire! Whether we agree or not, we'd better send an official to contact him actively to avoid angering him! Even if we don't want to, give this eldest prince some benefits."

Tian Zhen replied.

"Go to your mother!"

Tachihua Jianhu kicked Tian Zhen directly: "You Japanese pirate! The eldest son of the emperor who keeps talking! Your emperor is in Kyoto, not in Nagasaki!"

Tian Zhen stood up with his stomach covering his stomach: "Father Lord, is this the attitude of the Yanagawa clan? If this is true, I am really worried about the good and bad things of your Lihua family!"

"You dare to threaten us!"
