At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Shi Heng's three memorials only said one thing, and the country of Wa was preparing to do something.

Those Confucian scholars who claimed to be Qingliu couldn't get along in Daming, but they didn't expect that they would be reused after they went to Japan as envoys.

In the past two years, the Wa Kingdom has carried out drastic reforms. First, it changed the name of the country to the Fusang Empire, which already meant to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Then, the whole people promoted Chinese characters, learned Confucianism and etiquette, and followed the example of the Ming Dynasty. In order to quickly gather talents, The imperial examination in Wa country is scheduled to be held every two years.

All that was abandoned by Da Ming was picked up by Wa Kingdom.

Just before Zhu Qizhen returned to the court, the Wa Kingdom had just held the first general examination and palace examination, and selected [-] Jinshi to enter various functional departments to hold important positions.

Emperor Hikohito personally presided over the imperial examination, but, according to the information obtained by Ishi Heng, among the 200 Jinshi, more than [-] were the children of Ashikaga Yoshimasa's clan.

It is obvious that Emperor Hikohito has been emptied, and it is Ashikaga Yoshimasa who really controls the government of the Wa Kingdom.

There is another major event. Guan Baiyi of the Japanese state died of illness, and Sun Changhe, a great scholar, took over the post of Guan Bai.

According to Shiheng's memorandum, Ichiichi Kaneyo publicly reprimanded Ashikaga Yoshimasa and Sun Changhe angrily, saying that the two had colluded secretly and had evil intentions. After that, he suddenly contracted a cold and was bedridden until he died of illness. The cause of death was very strange.

Since Yiyi Jianliang died of a strange illness, the attitude of the Wa country towards Daming began to change.

When Ichiichi Kaneyoshi went to Ming Dynasty, he negotiated a big deal, starting with the purchase of five trains and two steamships. The price he paid was 5000 million taels of silver, 20 years of tariffs, and 20 years of use rights to the two ports.

Both Emperor Hikohito and Ashikaga Yoshimasa were shocked when they saw the trains and ships.

Since then, the Japanese country has devoted all its efforts to imitate it, but an engine has become a natural moat that can never be overcome. Even if the blueprint is obtained, it cannot be manufactured.

In desperation, they retreated to the next best thing, manufactured sailing ships on a large scale, and set up two fleets with steam ships as flagships.

If you have a boat, you need a navy. Emperor Hikohito issued an imperial edict and began to recruit a large number of troops.

In this way, contradictions arise.

Shipbuilding and recruiting troops required military expenses. The country of Wa was originally barren, and the only silver mine was occupied by Shi Heng, and the customs duties were also mortgaged to Daming. No matter how they developed, the silver they earned slipped into Daming's pocket.

It's okay at first, because the strength gap between the two countries is too big, so I don't have any ideas.

With the expansion of the fleet and the continuous expansion of its military strength, the Wa country began to drift away.

This is like doing an arms business. At the beginning, I bought you a few guns and gave you the money obediently. There is nothing to say.

Now I buy you a tank and armor division, do I still need to give money?

Who knows, if someone can sell you a tank and armor division, it means that you have at least a hundred of such weapons in your hand.

The ever-expanding Wa Kingdom began to harass Sado Island, where Shiheng was stationed, with the intention of taking back the silver mines and even the customs duties.

Beilin came in a hurry, and saluted: "Chen Beilin, kowtow to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen directly threw Shi Heng's memorabilia in his face, and said, "Look for yourself!"

Belin scanned it quickly, and then said: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, you should be punished!"

"How?"

"Your Majesty, after returning to the imperial court, the first thing to do is to improve the heavy bomb. On the basis of Fatty, Fatty No. [-] is designed. The general design idea is to use high-energy yellow powder to fill the cluster bomb. If the improvement is successful, one bomb will You can wipe out a whole city of Japanese people!"

A smile finally appeared on Zhu Qizhen's face, and he continued to ask: "How far has the experiment progressed?"

"Still revising the design drawings."

"How can this be done, speed up the progress! If you are short of money, speak up as soon as possible, I am not short of money!"

"Your Majesty, it's not about the money. There's really no rush for this big weapon. If something goes wrong, the entire testing ground will be razed to the ground."

When the monarch and his ministers were talking, Cao Nai listened in a dazed manner.

What kind of killer weapon is it that can wipe out a city with just one bomb?

This is too exaggerated!
Besides, he just has disobedience and hasn't put it into action yet, so you're going to kill him, isn't it a little too much...

Zhu Qizhen looked at Cao Nai and said, "Cao Qing, issue an imperial edict to the Wa Kingdom, and give it a serious order!"

Cao Nai wondered: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette. It should not be too tough, so as to show the spirit of a great country."

"I just want to be tough!"

Zhu Qizhen's tone was unquestionable, and said: "Warning him, if he doesn't restrain himself, I will send troops to attack him!"

Cao Nai thought for a while, and said: "The old minister boldly advises that although the Japanese kingdom has some arrogance, it respects the scholars of our dynasty and promotes the Sinicization of the whole people, which shows its admiration for the culture of the Central Plains. , is it too radical?"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly laughed and said: "It seems that the Qing family really doesn't understand this nation."

"Please tell the emperor..."

"A wolf's ambition is not well-fed."

"The old minister is stupid..."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "No need to say more, let's draft the imperial edict!"

"According to the order!"

Cao Nai saluted, turned and left.
