"It's time again to 'look at the world' every day. Yesterday I talked with you about overseas Korean customs. Today, I will take you to Dongying to see something new and get to know another neighbor around you!"

After receiving the imperial decree, it does not mean that the matter will be completed directly. It needs a reason to lead to the topic of Ming's foreign expedition.To break the blockade of Daming Shilin on him, more than strength is needed.

"I think many people have heard of the island neighbor to the east of Ming Dynasty. Perhaps the people along the coast are most familiar with it. That's right, the Japanese pirates are the most abundant on this small Dongying island! Attack on the coast of the East China Sea!

"Calculating carefully, I've traveled all over the coast of Daming. I'm afraid that the folks have been robbed by these sea robbers. They are not just as simple as looting goods, but also murder, set fire, rape/violence, and destroy , He does all kinds of evil!

"They never talked about the benevolence of saints, they just vented their distortions for the desire/desire in their hearts. There is no other way to deal with such guys except to fight with fire. Against the same use of violence to solve problems. But is this really the case? Plane Travel Guide 1457

"The Master said: Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with sincerity, and repay virtue with virtue! The words of the sage can be summed up in eight words-tolerance is unbearable, and there is no need to bear it anymore! So when the people of Ming Dynasty were robbed by foreign robbers, Time, just fight back.

"Just after the new year, on March [-]th, Ninghai Town in our Great Ming Dynasty was attacked by Japanese Japanese pirates. They killed people, robbed goods, burned the town, and almost burned the southeast town to nothingness.

"Countless fathers and villagers are wailing, and countless property in their homes have been looted by these beasts! Not only that, they even brutally killed more than 5600 soldiers and civilians in Ninghai Town.

"Even now recalling the tragic scene of that day, many people still feel trembling. There is blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, wailing and screaming everywhere, and the triumphant laughter of those Japanese pirates everywhere!

"What should we do at this time to protect our hard-earned wealth and the lives of the whole family? We can only pick up knives and guns and fight desperately with these thieves who are rampant along the coast..."

In the voice of Tang Shaozhe and Dujuan weeping blood, sparks of anger appeared in the eyes of everyone in Daming who were still guarding in front of the Tongtian Pagoda at this moment, and many people clenched their fists tightly, not knowing what they wanted to do .

Due to the inconvenient information traffic in Ming Dynasty at the moment, coupled with the intentional or unintentional blockade of certain news by the government, many pirates and looting news along the coast have been known to no one in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

Even if some businessmen travel far away, they may not necessarily go to such a distant place.Even if there were a very small number of merchants who went to the coastal areas to do business, it was unknown how long it would be before they came back.

It usually takes at least a year for news from the southeast coast to reach the northwest inland.

The news of the Japanese "insurgency" in Ninghai Town had originally spread along with the earthquake in the southeast officialdom, at least it had swept through the southeast coastal area of ​​Ming Dynasty.However, with the later rumors of Tang Shangxian, the tragedy caused by the Japanese "insurgency" in Ninghai Town was gradually downplayed.

As for the other areas in the Northwest, Central Plains, and Southwest, almost no news was received.Basically, everyone knew from the broadcast of Tang Shangxian's Tongtian Tower that there was a Japanese riot in Ninghai Town on March [-]th.

And the southeast region, which had known the news for a long time, also recalled the situation at that time following Tang Shaozhe's eloquence.What's more, for them, the disaster about the Japanese pirates has almost penetrated into the hearts of many people.

Although I dare not say that every household in the southeast coast has suffered from Japanese pirates, at least more than [-]% of the households have suffered from Japanese pirates, and the remaining [-]% of the people have often heard news about Japanese pirates, which can be described as empathetic!

Facing the detailed data presented by Tang Shaozhe, the people in the southeast coast all clenched their teeth and clenched their fists with tears in their eyes, while the people in other places were also shocked.

The Japanese "insurgency" in Ninghai Town is just a small microcosm of the Japanese pirate disaster along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Except for the fact that the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu shogunate had severely cracked down on the domestic Japanese pirates when they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates were the nightmare of the southeast coast at other times.

Tang Shaozhe, on the other hand, has verified in detail the Japanese pirates' violations that have been encountered in the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty over the years. At this time, he narrates them in an orderly manner, and the calm tone is unbearably cold.

"...Such a small Dongying island country has caused such serious disasters and troubles to China since the Dingding of the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes I always wonder why Daming Kiln tolerates such a vicious neighbor to stay by my side?

"After thinking about it, I still haven't got an answer. It wasn't until I saw fishermen fishing along the southeast coast that I realized the source of my sadness. It turned out that there was still a vast ocean between Daming and this small island. the sea.

"It is such a naturally formed barrier that allows these villains to escape to this day. The Mongols' iron hooves almost conquered the entire world, but they were all wiped out in this vast ocean. Plane Travel Guide 1457

"This shows how terrifying the power of Wang Yang's natural moat is, and how lucky the evil neighbors around Da Ming are! But after I, Tang Shaozhe, appeared today, this natural moat will never affect Da Ming again.

"If I can provide the court with wooden oxen and horses to solve the logistical problem of the expedition outside the Great Wall, I can also solve the worry about the shortage of the Ming navy. Once there were Tatars and Oalas who refused to accept the kingship on the prairie, the people in the northwest He also lived a miserable life. At some point, he would have to fight a bloody battle with the evil neighbors from outside the Great Wall.

"Just like the villagers in the southeast coast are afraid of Japanese pirates, the people in the northwest border are always worried about the horse thieves on the grassland. In fact, solving this problem is very simple. Since the neighbors are not ready to live a good life, then don't let it go!

"After the Ming dynasty wiped out those ambitious bandit leaders, the remaining peaceful people can still enjoy the dawn of Chinese civilization. If you want to eliminate the shadow of war, you have to pick up a knife and gun to stop killing!

"When the world around is mixed, of course there will be no more large-scale wars and killings among our own people. The Ming court is also willing to earnestly develop the people's livelihood and maintain a peaceful and happy life from now on!"

Amidst Tang Shaozhe's plausible reasoning, most of the Ming people who were illiterate were easily fooled by him.It sounds like this kind of life is pretty good, at least there is no need to worry about robbers breaking into the house suddenly.

Perhaps it is really like what Tang Shangxian said, only when the troubles are eliminated from the source can the predicament of thousands of years be truly resolved.Only when the world is peaceful can the people live a good life. That's right.

So the statement that Tang Shangxian likes to start wars, drink human blood and collect souls that those scholars and masters said before is unreliable?It doesn't sound like Tang Shangxian has any evil goals to achieve, but he is very compassionate.

In the past few days, with the gradual penetration of Tongtian Tower into the hearts of the people, in fact, most of the people have already developed a tendency without knowing it.Tang Shangxian's prestige, which had just been shaken by rumors, has been gradually rebuilt these days, and even the words are far better than the previous state to some extent.

That's why after Tang Shangxian's speech, he attracted everyone's attention in a short period of time, and smoothly guided most people's ideas.Even many scholars are attracted by his moving words at this moment.

"We are fighting now in order to create a world where there will be no more wars! After the first emperor conquered the six countries and swept the world, there was peace for more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty swept away all the evil neighbors around, it would inevitably build a prosperous world again !"

Anyway, if these words are taken hundreds of years later, most people may sneer at them, but at this moment, many people feel fresh.What's more, the Chinese people have always been accustomed to the rules of great unification, so Tang Shaozhe's words are not difficult to understand.

After hearing Master Guoshi's generous statement, many people felt that this was also a solution.That's right, there are empires around who are unwilling to give up, and it will be very troublesome for the court to sanction them. Wouldn't it be fine if they all become the territory of the court? "

But, is this going to war again?Although killing to stop killing is very good, but this process is a bit dangerous!Besides, overseas expeditions are obviously different from expeditions beyond the Great Wall, and sea operations need to guard against severe weather!

Although the navy of the Ming Dynasty was powerful, did the imperial court really allow that huge fleet of treasure ships to go to Japan?I am afraid that in the end, a large number of civilian ships will be needed as a supplement, right?

Worry is unavoidable, especially the people of Ming Dynasty along the coast, although they hate the cruel pirates, they are also very afraid of these demons-they kill people without blinking an eye!Besides, even the elite soldiers in the guards can't beat them, what can the common people do if they go up?

At this time, the imperial decree that Tang Shaozhe specially invited from Zhu Di began to play a role: "By God, the emperor said: Dongying Japanese slaves "chaos" the coast, which is tolerable or unbearable! I have issued an order, categorically Form the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. From today onwards, defend the safety of the sea and territory of the Ming Dynasty. If criminals imitate the Japanese pirates, I will never tolerate it!

"The people in the southeast have suffered from the Japanese pirates for a long time, and I am determined to wipe out the troubles for the world. Since then, when the edict issued to the world, I asked the people of Ming Dynasty whether to allow the Japanese pirates in the southeast to continue to cause trouble?

"If I want to send troops overseas to avenge the people of Ming Dynasty, will I have the support of all the people in the world? I can swear to God here that I will not impose a penny increase on the people of the world because of this. Will the people of the world be willing to help me? If so , Shout out in unison!"

Not to mention the weirdness of this edict, the half-written content in it almost killed Zhu Di.At that time, when he saw Tang Shaozhe's strange idea of ​​wanting to ask Ji Tianxia, ​​he suddenly felt something was wrong.

But in the end, he still couldn't resist Tang Shaozhe's temptation to draw cakes on paper, so he decided to take them out and have a try.And it was not countersigned by the cabinet, it was simply sent out.

Unexpectedly, this edict turned out to be an edict that everyone in the later generations would cheer up when they mentioned it.Plane Travel Guide 1457
