"Three towns? Japan is not weak." Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhang Haogu explained: "Your Majesty, Japan is not weak, but the imperial court does not want to go to war with the entire Japan, but only with the shogunate. The main thing is not to defeat Japan, but to defeat the shogunate and let the shogunate resume trade. This is enough

Already."

Zhu Youxiao immediately understood what Zhang Haogu meant: "In that case, Master's plan is to only use troops against Edo?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Yes, the surrounding Edo feudal lords are not part of my plan."

Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Destroy the shogunate, leave the pro-vassals behind, and let them compete for the position of the new shogun. Those pro-vassals each have their own support. Kanto will be in chaos. Add those outsiders,

The whole of Japan is going to be in chaos."

Who says it's not?

, those close vassals and genealogies in Kanto will definitely fight for the position of general, especially when they know that the Ming Dynasty has no interest in Japan at all, and only comes to open the sea, they will definitely change the minds of those who fight without any scruples.

A dog's brain.

As for those foreign vassals, Kansai, and the emperor, they all have their own thoughts. The whole of Japan will inevitably become a battlefield for heroes to compete. Now there are three to five million households in Japan, and Japan, which has been cultivating for more than ten years, will definitely become a battlefield.

Turning into a mess, this is the best situation for Ming Dynasty.

As for who will win in the end, Da Ming really doesn't care, because Da Ming will definitely help the one who is about to lose.

"At the court meeting, there was something I said that was quite in line with my wishes."

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Japan is a small country, ambitious, narrow-minded and has the ambition to swallow up the heaven. During the Yongle period, it coveted the territory of our Ming Dynasty, which shows its ambition. If it is allowed to develop over time, it will be a harm to our Ming Dynasty."

"

"Therefore, rather than letting it develop, it is better to guide it and tame it properly. It might become my Ming Dynasty's overseas land."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu suspiciously: "Master, do you want the land of Japan?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Japan is a small country with few people and barren land. What's the use of it? I'm just interested in the millions of households in Japan."

Zhu Youxiao was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but point at Zhang Haogu and said with a smile: "If others know your thoughts, Master, I don't know how they will judge you in the future."

Zhang Haogu said calmly: "I am not a saint, nor a good person. I am just a Han Chinese."

A few days after the imperial envoys went to Japan, North Korea sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask for help.

"Japan is closed to the outside world. Many merchants and people of our country are trapped in Japan with their goods. The situation is precarious. Our country is a small country with few people, and our survival has only depended on the majesty of the above country. Now our people are trapped in a foreign place, and they are called every day.

The earth and the earth are not working well. Although we have sent envoys to Japan many times, there is no news as a mud cow drowns in the sea. Now we can only rely on the higher country. I pray to the king for the help of the higher country to save my Korean people from the fire and water. "

The North Korean envoy burst into tears and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao at the court meeting. He vividly displayed the image of the little daughter-in-law bullied by bad guys, which really satisfied Zhu Youxiao.

"Foreign envoys, please rest assured. We have sent envoys to Japan to warn the shogunate. If they ignore it, the Ming Dynasty will make the decision for you." Zhang Ruitu said.

The North Korean envoy was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately kowtowed again: "Foreign minister, I thank you, His Majesty the Great Emperor!"

Envoys from North Korea came, and soon envoys from many small countries also came after hearing the news.

It's not just North Korea and Ming Dynasty that do business with Japan. These small countries have a share. If the goods are lost, forget it. Now even the people and goods are detained, and no news can be spread. How can they be willing to do this?

There was no movement before, and they were unable to deal with Japan, but now that North Korea has successfully approached Ming Dynasty for help, these people naturally came in droves.

So many envoys from small countries came to cry out about the cruelty of Japan. It was obviously a national policy of Japan to seize the country or not, but now it seems that Japan's seclusion is some kind of anger and resentment. For a while, everyone in Japan was shouting for beatings, and it really became a despise.

The presence.

Obviously, these small countries are following the trend, and they just want to take advantage of the opportunity to seek some benefits, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't care. With these small countries around, Da Ming's actions in the future will be a righteous act that obeys the will of heaven and everyone.

Although it is said that the king's army is not willing to attack its ministers, and the royal power is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty also needs some external reputation. It cannot be said to be greedy for the land and wealth of small countries. Otherwise, if there is a war in Japan today, there will be a war in Nanyang tomorrow.

After a battle, everyone in the surrounding small countries was in danger, and the Ming Dynasty's external strategy was not so easy to implement.

Soon, the envoys who went to Japan returned. The envoys failed to complete negotiations with the Japanese shogunate, and their instructions to the shogunate had no effect.

In view of the stubbornness of the Japanese shogunate, the Ming court decided to take some drastic measures to awaken the dizzy Japanese shogunate:
Chapter completed!
