1825 My New Daming

Chapter 143 Hand over the voting certificate! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Zhuge Weidao just said two conditions, and Tokugawa Qizhao already felt like falling into an ice cave!
A person of his status certainly knows the importance of heavy industry and the navy to Japan, otherwise Japan would not have desperately wanted to develop heavy industry and the navy.

If Japan does not have heavy industry and no navy, then Japan will only be able to "make Japan's manpower and material resources the favor of Zhuge's military division" forever.If you want to stand up and counterattack, you don't even think about it.

Seeing that Tokugawa Qizhao didn't speak, Zhuge Weidao went on to raise conditions - he still has conditions!There can't be only two dog chains for Japan, and it is safe to add a few more.

"Japan's financial efficiency is too low, and it is necessary to introduce Ming's capital and management." Zhuge Weidao continued, "In addition, Japan's currency is too chaotic, and it is incompatible with East and Southeast Asian countries, which is very inconvenient. If Japan really wants to To accept the help of Ming Dynasty and become a member of the Ming system, one should abandon the local currency and use the silver dollar of Ming Dynasty as the only legal tender.”

Without the navy and heavy industry, Japan just lost the room for advancement and the possibility of resisting Ming, but it is still a bit difficult for Ming to completely control Japan.But once Japan completely handed over her financial sovereignty to Daming, it would be equivalent to handing over all of her own to Daming, allowing him to use it.

Hearing this condition, not only Tokugawa Qi Zhao's color changed drastically, but even Zong Yixi was taken aback.

"Military division," Zong Yixi reminded, "Dahei's Ginza is also one of Japan's mints!"

Zhuge Weidao glanced at Zong Yixi, "Lord Zong, do you really think that I, as a military adviser of the Zhuge family, really need the little money from the Dahei family?"

Yeah, he doesn't need it!
If Zhuge Weidao is not a military advisor now, of course he needs money from the Dahei family - but now, he is already one of the eighteen military advisors of the Zhuge family!The family property of the Zhuge family is extremely large, all of which are controlled by the military division.The benefits of participating in the management of the family property alone have greatly exceeded the wealth that the Dahei family can provide.

In addition, the Zhuge family can always seize the opportunity to make a fortune, and their military advisers can pinch and count, so money is just a number for the Zhuge family's rulers.

Zhuge Weidao also said: "The agricultural product market in Japan must also be opened. Japan cannot be self-sufficient in food. The common people look short and small, with yellow and thin faces, and they are just hungry! They have no food to eat, and they still work so hard. Living and fighting? So Japan must import a large amount of food to feed the common people first, and then think about other things.”

Let Japan open the agricultural product market, of course, to destroy Japan's rice industry in one fell swoop!

At the same time, the purpose of letting the Japanese people have enough to eat is to make Japan permanently dependent on imported food. Of course, Japan’s rice is not enough, but there are two ways to solve the problem, one is to import, and the other is to starve.

Japan is now only a small amount of imports, mainly relying on starvation to solve the problem of food shortages.

In today's Japan, if anyone eats three meals a day and can still eat rice, it must be no ordinary family.

This situation is quite miserable, but the Japanese have long been used to being hungry, but it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.If the Japanese are fed now, then in 20 years, the Japanese will forget how to go hungry.Then suddenly one day, if Ming Dynasty cut off Japan's overseas food supply routes, Japan would immediately fall into chaos.

If Japan loses its heavy industry and navy, Daming supplies its energy, its grain supplies, and its finances and currency are completely controlled by Ming, then Japan can be said to be under the control of Ming in all aspects.If any Japanese investor has such a mind, he doesn't even need to send troops from Ming Dynasty, just create a financial crisis, and at the same time choke off Japan's food supply, causing the price of rice in Japan to skyrocket, and the Japanese devils who can't eat enough will have to take it The government was overthrown.

"Your Excellency, Military Advisor," Tokugawa Qi Zhao's face was a little gloomy, "If we agree to your request, what kind of development space can Japan get?"

"Development space?" Zhuge Weidao smiled slightly, then glanced at Wang Wen, "Consultant Wang, what did Charlie Elliot explain?"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Qi Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

He and Qiliang Shimadzu had calculated thousands of times, but they didn't think that the Ming Navy was so powerful that it could severely damage the Revenge, sink the Indomitable, and capture Charlie Elliott.

But once Charlie Elliot is captured, some things cannot be kept secret!

"Military adviser, that Charlie Elliot confessed that their route from Yokosuka Naval Port to Osaka was completely arranged by the Japanese side, and the Japanese side also arranged for two gunboats to lead the way."

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "What a coincidence, our route to Mito via the Seto Inland Sea was also arranged by the Japanese side, and the Japanese shogunate navy also arranged for a gunboat to lead the way!"

"And Charlie Elliot didn't know that we would come from the Seto Inland Sea and enter the Kii Waterway through the Naruto Strait."

"It shouldn't be!" Zhuge Weidao looked at the expressionless Tokugawa Qi Zhao, "At that time, the naval staff officer of the shogunate insisted that Qi Liang Shimadzu should be on the Vengeance, right? Did he know that the four Ming warships would be on the same day?" Passing through the Naruto Strait in the early morning?"

Tokugawa Qizhao's face turned livid, "Advisor, do you suspect that Shimadzu Qiliang colluded with the pirate ships of the East India Company to launch an attack on you and the Ming Navy? Could it be because of the black sky?"

"Hehe," Zhuge Weidao smiled, "Consultant Wang, have you found those four boats?"

"No," Wang Wendao, "there is no trace. After the airship lost them, there was no trace of them! In addition, the naval intelligence department, the coast guard, the local fleet, the Nanyang fleet, and the navies of Siam and Annan , none of them have been found. Never! These four ships appeared out of nowhere."

"Appeared out of thin air, and disappeared out of thin air." Zhuge Weidao sneered, "It seems that these four disguised assault ships will never appear, right?"

Tokugawa Qizhao said calmly: "Maybe we can look for it carefully."

"It's time to look for it!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Master Mito Zuowei, thank you for your conditions for entertaining us Daming, and now I have told you. There will be written documents to be handed over to the suzerain lord later! If His Royal Highness agrees to our conditions, then the shogunate only needs to hand over a nomination certificate."

"Certificate of nomination?" Tokugawa Qizhao frowned, "What kind of nomination certificate? What kind of nomination certificate does Daming want?"

"What kind of nomination certificate?" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Isn't the Sovereign-level Revenge undergoing maintenance in Osaka Port? It is the best nomination certificate!"

Hearing that Zhuge was the Taoist condition, Tokugawa Qizhao was speechless.Daming, a country in the sky, would be so shameless that Japan would hand over the Revenge to them without going to war with the British Empire.

If Japan did such a thing, it would become a deadly enemy with the British Empire. In the future, it could only follow Daming with all its heart, and it would be impossible to change its family.

Zhuge Weidao said: "After handing over the votes, we can start formal negotiations between the two parties, and there will be formal cooperation agreements and covenants. In addition to military pay, you can also get corresponding land grants on the newly conquered lands of the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also set up vassal states in the newly conquered lands. As long as the Japanese samurai make contributions, they can also become nobles of the vassal states just like the meritorious ministers of the Ming Dynasty!After that, he will be an official in the new country.You Japan should have many samurai that cannot be arranged, right?If you follow Daming, there will be a way out! "

"What if we disagree with Daming's terms?" Tokugawa Qizhao asked coldly.

Zhuge Weidao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Then we will fight until you agree!"
