Chapter 148 Gossip
After explaining this matter, Xiao Ruxun remembered another important matter.

"By the way, there is also the Satsuma domain in the Kyushu area of ​​Japan. The governor doesn't know where it is, but you can inquire there about a person named Xu Yihou. He is a citizen of Ming Dynasty. Last year, he united several people The officer sent a very detailed warning of Japanese pirate invasion to the governor of Zhejiang. Although he was trapped in Japan, he never forgot Daming. If you can contact him, ask him to do Daming a favor and ask him if he knows or knows It would be good to bring back one or two experts who are experts in the construction of Japanese cities."

Zhou Qi was puzzled: "Empress Xu Yi? This name sounds familiar... But an expert in Zhuwa City? What's the use of the admiral wanting that?"

"Have you seen all of Busan's Japanese castles? How do you feel?"

Zhou Qi blinked and said, "It is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is somewhat similar to my Wubao in the southwest of Ming Dynasty."

"Indeed, similar to our Wubao, Wubao first appeared at the end of the Han Dynasty. Because of frequent wars and regime changes, the people built it for self-protection. It was more prosperous in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. However, China has a tradition of great unification since ancient times. However, once the unification is completed, Wubao will be useless and most of them will be demolished. Therefore, Wubao only occasionally exists in the southwestern chieftain land, and the governor can't ask for it.

So much so that now, in the face of the Japanese city of the Japanese pirates, they are helpless and deeply disturbed. Therefore, they must know how to break through the Japanese city. If so, they need the help of people who are familiar with the architecture of the Japanese city. If you can go to Japan to find it, please come at a high price.It will definitely be of great use in the future. "

After hearing Xiao Ruxun's words, Zhou Qi nodded: "Since the admiral has such a need, I will try my best to make it so that the admiral will not be disappointed."

"Thank you."

After sending Zhou Qi away, Xiao Ruxun began to think about how to negotiate with the Japanese at that time. Negotiations between winners and losers also need to pay attention to methods and methods. The most practical negotiation technique in the world is to hold high and lightly Putting it down, the lion opened his mouth wide, and then slowly backed away step by step, so that the defeated party thought that he had tried his best to take advantage of it. In fact, what the victorious party wanted at the beginning was the part they got in the end.

Forget about Sado Island, but Iwami Ginzan produces too much silver. Unless Daming has the idea of ​​completely destroying Japan, Japan will never agree to cede all the profits of Iwami Ginzan, but it will be divided in proportion, and Japan will be required to provide it every year. How much taels of silver can still be done, so that the Japanese will not get nothing and fight to the death with Daming, but also make Japan bleed, and it will no longer be able to concentrate on attacking a certain country as before, and completely annex it for the future The archipelago creates conditions.

Then we can use the methods used in modern Europe to deal with the Qing government.

Part of the land was ceded, part of the port was opened for trade, part of extraterritoriality, part of war reparations, tariff reduction or even exemption for Ming products entering the Japanese market, one-sided most-favored-nation treatment, and so on.

Of course, this has to be based on the premise that the old fox Tokugawa Ieyasu dominates Japan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a madman, will never agree. He will only fight until he dies.

So Xiao Ruxun wanted to contribute to Japan's civil war.

A three-pronged approach killed Japan in the sixteenth century.

At the same time when the Jinyiwei intelligence network started to be dispatched, there was a lot of news in Japan about the complete defeat of the Japanese army and the siege of Busan by the Ming army. It spread to the surrounding areas, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who lived in Nagoya Castle, inevitably heard a lot of rumors.

When these rumors first came out, Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't believe them at all. He only regarded it as the news released by the remnants of those who wanted to rebel. He wanted to shake the morale of the army. Send people to arrest those who spread rumors, and the rumors disappeared for a while, and people were at peace.

But this wave of rumors has spread very strangely. Almost all the people who spread the rumors before have been arrested, and many people have been beheaded. This time when the accident happened, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was arrested again. A lot, and a lot of heads were chopped off, but the rumors did not subside as before, but intensified.

Even though Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thinking and spirit are already in a very abnormal period, he still believes that he has won a big battle. His army is aggressively attacking the Ming country, and half of the Ming country is already under his rule. Faced with such rumors, he was extremely annoyed at first, and then murderously angry. When he was alone, he thought of some details that made him very uneasy, but he felt a little terrified.

That's not right, let's not talk about President Konishi for the time being, how come there is no news about Kiyomasa Kato?This is not normal ah?
Even if they hit the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the distance is farther, and the letter from home should be sent back, right?Isn't there no news at all?
Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to have doubts about Konishi Yukyo-chan and Kato Kiyomasa who only existed in the Ukita Hideka battle report. Like him, Kuroda Rusui also had doubts about Kuroda Nagamasa who only existed in the battle report, and he got it early. Knowing the truth, although for a moment, Kuroda Rushui had the idea of ​​killing and going to North Korea to seek revenge on Xiao Ruxun, but then he regained his reason, calmly analyzed the current weird situation, and decided not to say anything, what? I didn't do it either, I just hid in my study and wept secretly, missing my son.

Kuroda Rusui is no longer as loyal to Toyotomi Hideyoshi as he used to be. He has other ideas, but the existence of Tokugawa Ieyasu really makes him very afraid. He must have known the news of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's defeat in North Korea, so what would he do?

In all fairness, Kuroda Rushui will not be Toyotomi Hideyoshi's dead soldier, he was doomed from the moment he was declared a domain of [-] koku, but after all, he was branded too deeply with Toyotomi's brand, if Tokugawa Ieyasu summoned the Dongguk Daimyo to formally rebel, what should he do?
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's direct lineage suffered heavy losses in North Korea, not only the loss of soldiers, but also the loss of key personnel. The losses of Konishi Governor and Kato Kiyomasa alone were enough to make Toyotomi Hideyoshi hurt, and even more so. Not to mention other losses, the news he found made him feel terrified, and he didn't believe that Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't have this feeling.

They were infected by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's arrogance, and they even forgot how powerful and warlike that great empire was, an existence that Japan could not defeat.

How will the provoked and angry empire treat them?How will it treat Japan as a whole?

Kuroda Rushui thinks more far-reaching, but many people can only see the present.

Almost at the same time when Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the second order to arrest rumor slanderers, a letter from the family of Ukita Hideyoshi, commander of the Korean Front Army, also arrived in the hands of Nagoya Toyotomi Hideyoshi. When it came into the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi eagerly opened the letter to read it, and upon seeing it, he was overjoyed.

Ukita Hideka said—the Ming army was defeated and begged me for a peace. Ukita Hideka suggested that the troops could be withdrawn to prepare for negotiations.
