Wanli 1592

Chapter 54 Mutual Suspicion

Da Ming is definitely not unprepared against Japan. In fact, Da Ming is not ignorant of the fact that Japan is about to launch a war. A war involving hundreds of thousands of troops from three countries is something that even in modern society, it wants to hide it. Die and die are also extremely difficult.

Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, before this war broke out, many businessmen who traveled between China and Japan used the name of merchants to collect the patriots living in Japan from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. News that the imminent dispatch of troops will be unfavorable to Daming keeps coming back.

Xu Yihou, Guo Guoan, Zhu Junwang, Chen Shen, and Su Ba, we may have never heard of these names, but we must never forget them. Although they were lost in Japan, they never forgot that they were Han descendants of Ming Dynasty.

The precious information they sent back with enthusiasm and loyalty is more accurate and timely than the Jinyiwei of the professional organization of the Ming Dynasty. It is this information that allows the Ming Dynasty to have enough psychological preparation and material for the fact that Japan is about to launch a war. Prepare.

It can be seen from the fact that the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty issued two official documents to the government offices along the coast of Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian within three months in the 19th year of Wanli. It is definitely not that the Ming Dynasty did not believe that Japan would launch an attack. Choose North Korea as a springboard to attack.

The past few decades of Japanese pirates coming from the sea have brought deep and painful memories to Daming. When talking about Japan, everyone immediately thinks of Japanese pirates, and immediately thinks that Japanese pirates will come from the sea to attack the hinterland of Daming. Japanese northern captives.

Not long after the time passed, the memory of the people along the coast has not disappeared, and the alarm came again. From the governor down to the people of the Li people, they were all prepared for the worst. Coastal areas such as Zhejiang, Fujian, and other coastal areas immediately made intensive preparations for the construction of warships. Against the Japanese pirates, the navy soldiers practiced every day, vowing to wipe out the Japanese pirates outside the country and protect the land behind them.

Throughout the second half of the 19th year of Wanli until now, the coastal areas of Shandong, Zhejiang, and Fujian have prepared sea power that will kill Japan in the future.

At that time, the upper echelons of Ming Dynasty also considered this matter very carefully. For example, the cabinet ministers thought that the Japanese wolf's ambition was known to everyone, which is not surprising.

However, the Ryukyu and coastal merchants kept sending warnings. North Korea, as the barrier to eastern China, has no news at all. Logically speaking, North Korea is the closest to Japan, so it should be the first to know. How come there is no news until now?

In the second half of the 19th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty's suspicion and malice towards North Korea reached its peak.

North Korea, is it really in collusion with Japan?
In the cabinet at that time, only Xu Guo insisted that North Korea had always been friendly to Daming, obeyed Daming's wishes in everything, and never violated it. How could he suddenly rebel against Daming?

This unscientific.

But most officials were extremely worried about this, and Xu Guo could not ignore everyone's opinions, so he wrote a letter to Liaodong Dusi, asking Liaodong Dusi to ask what happened to the Koreans.

In fact, there are two kinds of rumors about Japan's imminent war. One is widely spread in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese came from the sea. The news spread throughout Liaodong that North Korea was about to join forces with Japan to invade Ming Dynasty, which made the Han people in the entire Liaodong land shocked and angry.

North Korea obviously didn't know about it. After Liaodong Dusi wrote the inquiry into a harsh question, the North Koreans panicked and sent people to the capital to argue repeatedly, even in front of Zhu Yijun.

At that time, Zhu Yijun comforted the North Korean envoy with a smile, expressed his dislike for Japan, and then made a suggestion that almost made North Korea faint - I found two helpers for you, and the three of you joined forces and wiped out Japan!

When the North Korean envoy asked, he was even more dizzy. One is Ryukyu and the other is Siam.Siam is quite powerful, and its firearm technology is also good, but Siam is in Southeast Asia, you want them to come across the entire Ming Dynasty to North Korea to help?The North Koreans were perfunctory, Zhu Yijun also had a whim, and North Korea didn't take it seriously afterwards, so it is naturally impossible for Ming to bleed for North Korea.

North Korea didn’t take it seriously, but Ming had to take it seriously. North Korea was at peace for a long time, and most of the area was invaded by swords in Kuma and sent to Nanshan, but Ming never relaxed. Not long after the Japanese invasion ended, Ming still maintained a deep affection for Japan. Alert and hostile, the entire coastal area is intensively preparing for war.

Under such a turbulent atmosphere, Xiao Ruxun arrived in the capital on the seventh day of June.

Along the way, the Ningxia meritorious group heard some rumors, which were actually related to the affairs of North Korea and Japan. Rumors about North Korea uniting with Japan to conspire against the Ming Dynasty were rampant, which made Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen restless day and night, so they called Xiao Ruxun Discuss in detail—is there something wrong with North Korea besides Ningxia?Otherwise why would there be so much gossip?

The answer is yes, but Xiao Ruxun will not say it, and can only speculate that there is no groundless news in the world. Since there is such a rumor, it proves that something related must happen. Regarding this, Xiao Ruxun will not talk to death, think carefully , but found a way of life for Ye Mengxiong.

Can you work for Ye Mengxiong so that he can become the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Aid Korea, and cooperate with himself again?
Although knowing that the possibility of this is very low, Xiao Ruxun is not willing to give up the only possibility that can save Ye Mengxiong's future, which is not a good ending.

In addition, Xiao Ruxun's biggest worry about entering Beijing this time is Xiao Wenkui, the cheap daddy who is a general in the Beijing camp. After all, cheap daddy hasn't seen it himself. I know, but what should I do if I get exposed?
However, since the convoy arrived just as the sun was setting, the gates of the capital city were quickly closed. After nightfall, nothing could be done today, so the government arranged for them to stay and wait for the emperor to summon them.

Xiao Ruxun also wanted to go to see the cheap father first, but only to find out that according to the rules, meritorious ministers are not allowed to walk around freely before meeting the emperor, and they have to wait for the emperor's reward before they can move freely, so now they can only behave honestly Living in the post house, he can't do anything, Xiao Ruxun originally wanted Yang Caiyun to visit his father first, but Yang Caiyun said he would go back with Xiao Ruxun, so he didn't go to see the cheap father first.

With his wife by his side, Xiao Ruxun didn't feel lonely, and exchanged some feelings. In the dead of night, his beloved wife had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Ruxun was full of thoughts. He walked out of the house and went to the yard to look at the starry night sky in trance.

Every time I think that this piece of prosperity will fall into the hands of outsiders in another 50 years, I can't help but feel worried. When I was thinking about how to deal with the big salt merchants and the little ice river, there were waves of footsteps behind me, which were not deliberately concealed. Voice.

Xiao Ruxun looked back and saw an old man with a white face and two men with knives in brocade robes pushing open the gate of the post house, led by a post house official to the courtyard, and then stood in front of him As soon as the person arrived, the officials of the post station quickly ran away.

"You are?"

Xiao Ruxun asked with some doubts and guard. The sudden appearance of these people made Xiao Ruxun very vigilant. In the dead of night, three people suddenly appeared at the capital station. What's the situation?Moreover, their attire seems to be somewhat similar to the legendary Jin Yiwei... No!This is the costume of Jin Yiwei, right? !
"Xiao Zongbing, I didn't expect you to stay up so late, which saved a lot of trouble. Please come with this old slave, someone wants to see you."

The white-faced and beardless old man had a slight smile on his face, which made Xiao Ruxun stunned on the spot.

Jin Yiwei... old slave... pale and needless...

The three clues are connected together, so it goes without saying the identity of the person who wants to meet him.
