"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates' crime is unforgivable. Their attack is a blasphemy against the Ming Dynasty. They must serve as a warning to others. The morning meeting will handle the diplomatic disputes with the Japanese country with care." Lin Che's voice was steady and firm.

However, some ministers expressed concerns about this: "This may cause dissatisfaction and revenge from the Japanese country. The most urgent task is to handle it safely." '

Lin Che took advantage of the moment when the Japanese pirates were being dealt with to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country now knows the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Since the Japanese country invades, it actually gives us a reason to take action. The Japanese country should be annihilated."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply. He felt quite embarrassed. He understood what Lin Che meant, but facing the challenge of a powerful country and a Japanese country, it still seemed difficult and unbearable. He knew that he had to weigh the overall situation and make a very decisive decision. Things.

"This hesitation gave the Japanese country a bigger excuse to launch sneak attacks and harass our Ming Dynasty."
