Chapter 147 Toyotomi Hideyoshi: It's time to kick the Ming Dynasty out! Shuttle, lead the cabinet to overlook the national war! Toyotomi Hideyoshi was originally named Kinoshita Tokichiro, but after gaining the support of King Kei, he accepted the name bestowed by King Kei. So at this time, his name was naturally changed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Seeing his father was startled when he heard what he said, Yan Shifan began to explain, "I learned from Xu Yuanliang that Tokugawa Soemon secretly contacted him and informed him of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's plan." "This Toyotomi Hideyoshi has conspired with Tokugawa Ieyasu, planning to unify the west with the help of the Ming Dynasty, and then make peace with Takeda Shingen and completely get rid of the Ming Dynasty..." After hearing what Yan Shifan said, Yan Song did not comment. He just shook his head and sighed as he leaned over to get into the sedan chair. "It would be great if all my opponents were this stupid..." "Ha!" Hearing Lao De's sigh, Yan Shifan sneered. The look on Dad's face showed that he didn't take this so-called plan seriously. But sometimes, Yan Shifan really admired Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Who gave him the courage? He knew that bringing the Ming Dynasty into Japan was like inviting a wolf into the house, but he still dreamed of using the Ming Dynasty as a pawn. How arrogant is this? Only an ignorant person can have such self-confidence? The tenth day of the first lunar month in the forty-third year of the Jiajing reign.
Today's Japan has been roughly divided up into four major families, one in the east and one in the west. The west was naturally divided between the Oda and Tokugawa families, while the east was divided between the Takeda and Imagawa families. Although there are still some stubborn families resisting in the east and west, it is only a matter of time. Nagoya, located in Tokaido, Japan, is now controlled by the Imagawa family due to the sudden changes in the situation in Japan. It was on this day that, unknown to everyone, the leaders of the four major families, along with their most trusted subordinates, were holding a secret meeting somewhere on the coast of Nagoya. The content of this meeting was only one, which was to completely break off ties with the Ming Dynasty, uproot all the forces affiliated with the Ming Dynasty in Japan, and then divide the world equally. "Welcome everyone to Nagoya. On behalf of the Imagawa family, I would like to extend my welcome to you all." The young man, wearing a black kimono, with a childish and handsome face and a hint of superiority in his temperament, looked at the two people sitting face to face in the room and smiled. This young man was none other than the current head of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Ujizane. Imagawa Ujizane is 25 years old this year. Perhaps because he has been living a life of luxury for many years and has never thought about political struggles and the fight for world hegemony, he looks even younger than Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is younger than him. On his left sat Imagawa Ujizane's ally, Takeda Shingen, and his confidants. Takeda Shingen was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He has dark skin, a resolute face, deep eyes, a strong body, and his demeanor reveals the heroic spirit of a military commander. At this time, Takeda Shingen was staring at a young man who looked about thirty years old, with a handsome face, sharp eyes and a slender figure. This man was none other than Oda Nobunaga. Sitting next to Oda Nobunaga was the head of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Ieyasu. A young man dressed in black, no more than a twenty-year-old, with a feminine look and a faint black mole between his eyebrows. Although he was only twenty years old, his feminine appearance and neat short hair made him look even more mature than Imagawa Ujizane. Behind the two of them sat Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Soemon. Facing Oda Nobunaga, the enemy who killed his father, Imagawa Ujizane had no reaction at this time and was still able to face it with a smile. If someone doesn't know the current head of the Imagawa family, they would definitely think that he is a heroic character.
But unfortunately, everyone is very familiar with the head of the Imagawa family, and he is a complete abscess. A person who is willing to live in peace in a corner and only seeks his own happiness. If it weren't for the help of Prince Yu of the Ming Dynasty and the alliance formed with Takeda Shingen, I'm afraid the Imagawa family would have been swallowed up long ago. However, what the four major families present today discussed was not past grudges or negotiation interests, but the common enemy they would face next, the Ming Dynasty. "I will preside over this meeting," Imagawa Ujizane chuckled, raised his hand to signal the servants to serve hot tea to everyone. After everyone had left the room, he looked at Oda Nobunaga. "Chief Oda, since today's secret meeting was initiated by you, you should start first." Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded, then raised his head slightly and looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi behind him, "Toyotomi-kun, please." Nodding, Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up, walked to the opposite side of the table, bowed to everyone, and then knelt down. "My Lords, Japan is now completely under the control of our four great families." Toyotomi Hideyoshi said without further ado, and went straight to the point, "The world is divided into four parts." "The Oda family and the Tokugawa family monopolize the west, and the Takeda family and the Imagawa family dominate the east. Although there are still big families such as the Nanbu, the Mori, and the Amago in the east and west to resist," Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, looking around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "But dealing with these people is only a matter of time, as long as both sides can temporarily stop fighting and focus on eliminating them." Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads slightly in agreement, but no one spoke. Instead, they looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They all knew that the other party had something else to say. Sure enough, Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately changed the subject and said directly: "But right now, we have a bigger enemy who is eyeing us covetously. If we don't drive him away..." "I'm afraid that when both sides are defeated, the whole country will fall into the hands of others!" As Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Except for Tokugawa Soemon and Imagawa Ujizane, none of the people present were simple. As soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi started speaking, he had already realized who the bigger enemy the other party was! There will be no one else except the great Eastern country, the Ming Dynasty, across the ocean. The heads of the four major families all knew that the main reason why they were able to annex the entire Japan so quickly was because they all had the support of the Ming Dynasty. Behind Nobunaga Ueda and Tokugawa Ieyasu was Prince Kei. Behind Takeda Shingen and Imagawa Ujizane was Prince Yu. Those present were all local leaders, so they naturally understood what it meant to invite a wolf into the house. But they chose to do it anyway. The main reason was that he saw through the disharmony within the Ming Dynasty and the conflict between Prince Yu and Prince Jing. Therefore, they decided to use the power of the Ming Dynasty first to help them retain their strength while eliminating other daimyos in Japan as much as possible. Afterwards, in order to prevent the enemy from really invading the house and preventing the Ming Dynasty from reaping the benefits, it is possible to temporarily stop and make peace. Kick the Ming Dynasty out directly, and then divide the world equally, or compete for the final overlord position. At this time, after hearing what Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, everyone understood that it was time to kick the Ming Dynasty out. "It seems that everyone understands the interests involved." Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, his eyes gleaming. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a wise man who was calculating thousands of miles away. "Then, make a decision." "Should we eliminate all the forces of the Ming Dynasty?" Although everyone is aware of the interests involved, when it comes to making a decision, they can't help but weigh the pros and cons in their hearts. "This man is a strong enemy!" Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was only 20 years old, turned his head and looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He became secretly alert in his heart. His intuition told him to be on guard against this man.
"I agree." Although he thought about it, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who became the head of the Tokugawa family at such a young age, naturally possessed the courage and decisiveness of a heroic leader, so he took the lead in expressing his opinion. For a moment, Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen couldn't help but look at him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help but look at this head of the Tokugawa family, who was six years younger than him. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Among all the people present, this was the person he valued the most. "The disparity in national strength between us and the Ming Dynasty is too great," Tokugawa Ieyasu ignored everyone's gazes and said calmly: "Don't think that the pirates on the sea can disrupt the peace of the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty. There is still a sea between us, so Ming Dynasty poses no threat to us." "But don't forget that the Ming Dynasty today is no longer what it used to be." "In addition, outside the Tokaido, Hojo Fuusho and Fujiwara Kaitaro on Xiangyun Island and Longlin Island, are all from the Ming Dynasty. Their Chinese names are Xu Yuanliang and Mao Haifeng respectively." "These two are Prince Yu and Prince Jing's men!" "Once the Ming army sets out, these two islands will be the best bases for them to attack Japan!" "We just need to land on the island and recuperate. If we are still fighting among ourselves or both sides are already defeated, the Ming Dynasty can easily occupy the entire Japan." As Tokugawa Ieyasu spoke, the expressions of everyone present changed. Only Imagawa Ujizane kept his head down, sipping hot tea silently, as if all this had nothing to do with him. "Tokugawa-kun's consideration is not unreasonable," At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who was an ally, also said in a deep voice: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains..." A pair of hawk-like eyes stared at Takeda Shingen and said in a deep voice: "It is said that if China is at peace, the barbarians will submit of their own accord. Therefore, if one wishes to repel foreign aggression, one must first bring peace to the country." (Note: "China" here refers to the center of the world, which can be understood as the Central Plains. The source of this sentence: Zhao Pu wrote in a memorial to Emperor Taizong of Song: "If China is at peace, the barbarians will submit. Therefore, if you want to resist foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the country.") "So," Oda Nobunaga straightened his back, bowed his head heavily to Takeda Shingen, and said, "Sir, in order to prevent our territory from being taken by the Ming Dynasty, please put aside your personal disputes and fight the enemy together!" "By then, we can either fight for world domination or divide and rule, whatever is possible!" Having said this, everyone's eyes turned to Takeda Shingen. As for Imagawa Ujizane on the side, no one cared about him. Although the two sides were allies, Takeda Shingen was in a dominant position. As for Imagawa Ujizane, he was only able to be won over by Takeda Shingen because he had the support of Prince Yu behind him. Now that they are about to take action against the Ming Dynasty, Imagawa Ujiraki’s opinion is naturally not that important. Even though the Imagawa family has the support of Prince Yu, the reason Prince Yu supports him is just to contain the Takeda family. Everyone present knows this. There is a causal relationship here, that is, because of the Takeda family, Prince Yu chose to support the Imagawa family. Without the desire of the Imagawa family, Prince Yu could support another family to cooperate with the Takeda family at any time. So, no one will care about Imagawa Ujizane! "Okay!" Takeda Shingen was not stupid. The Ming Dynasty's national strength was now increasing, and internal and external troubles had been eliminated. If they attacked at this time, taking advantage of the internal situation in Japan, both sides would be defeated. Then the fight among us would be meaningless. Seeing that Takeda Shingen agreed, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Kayasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi all couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "In that case, we will start attacking Longlin Island and Xiangyun Island next, completely eradicate the threat of Ming Dynasty around Japan, and occupy these two islands as soon as possible!"
"At the same time, we will eliminate all the bandit forces that have defected to the Ming Dynasty in the territory, and then attack in the east and west directions!" "We will make plans after we conquer the world!" Upon hearing this, both sides had no objection. At this point, the four major families in Japan reached an agreement to join forces to expel the Ming Dynasty's influence in Japan. …… In the Ming Dynasty, with the issuance of the imperial decree, the second phase of land reform officially began. Along with this, the Eight Measures for Currency Reform were also implemented, which caused an uproar throughout the country. Although over the past two years, the people have developed basic trust in the court. Especially with the emergence of new grain and three years of tax exemption, the people were grateful to the court and the emperor, and they all believed that good days were coming. But what no one expected was that the imperial court actually issued an order to take back all the farmland and make it the property of the imperial court. This immediately made the people in various places worried again. As expected, this move naturally met with resistance from many people. However, under the suppression of local royal families, the people could only choose to believe in the court and believe that there would be better policies in the future. Time flies and three months have passed. In a blink of an eye, it was early April of the 43rd year of the Jiajing reign. On this day, the cabinet received a secret report from Japan, which came back from the southeast. The four major families now plan to join forces to eliminate the power of Prince Yu and Prince Jing and kick the Ming Dynasty out completely! The cabinet immediately submitted this to the palace. In the main hall of Yuxi Palace, Jiajing still sat on the throne at the top, and below him, Prince Yu and Prince Jing sat down, and next to the stove was Yan Song. "Imagawa Ujizane and Tokugawa Soemon have sent news," Zhang Juzheng chuckled and put down the two secret reports in his hand, "It seems that the news is correct." Gao Gong stepped forward, bowed to Jiajing, and said, "We have already reached an alliance with Imagawa Ujizane a long time ago. After the alliance is completed, Japan will be handed over to the Imagawa family." "And Japan will become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute every year." At this time, Yan Shifan also stepped forward and said, "Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen have joined forces. Tokugawa Soemon knows that it is impossible for him to rely on the Oda family to regain his family." "So I chose to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Shifan glanced at Gao Gong and said: "The conditions we offer are the same. After the Ming Dynasty conquers Japan, we will let Tokugawa Soemon become the head of the Tokugawa family. After that, Japan will be governed by the Tokugawa family and will also submit to the Ming Dynasty." "Heh," Yan Shifan chuckled, "The whole plan has two levels." "One is to openly tell the Japanese side that His Royal Highness Prince Yu and His Royal Highness Prince Jing are not on good terms, so that they can rest assured." "So, the four major families all know that in Japan, behind each of them is actually the game between the two princes." "The second level is to secretly support Imagawa Ujizane and Tokugawa Soemon. This time, it is also to confirm the discord between the two princes. After all, any normal person can figure out that which of the two princes conquers a country for the Ming Dynasty will be favored by the emperor!" "So, whether it was Tokugawa Soemon or Imagawa Ujizane, they all believed that the Ming Dynasty would help them destroy each other." "That's why," Yan Shifan smiled and picked up the two secret reports on the table, "these two people were able to pass on the news at the same time." Zhang Juzheng and Yan Shifan decided the fate of the country with just a few words, while Yan Song and Xu Jie never really cared about it.
For them, it was not necessary for them to personally take action to take over a tiny piece of land. The people under them could make the entire Japanese run around in circles. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought he was smart and used the Ming Dynasty as a knife, but he didn't know that these tricks were just child's games in the eyes of Yan Song and the others. Everything from the beginning was just what Daming wanted to show them. "Next, Imagawa Ujizane and Tokugawa Soemon will join forces with the Ming Dynasty to defeat the four major families. Then, it will be time for the Ming Dynasty to land on the island and clean up Japan..." Hearing this, Jiajing nodded. There are too many forces in Japan, so it is difficult to deal with them in a centralized manner like we did last time in the Yinshan Mountains. After all, the Ming Dynasty was eyeing the rich resources on the entire Japanese island, as well as the entire spiritual field. If the talisman was used, if one was not careful, unnecessary losses would be incurred. These are all things they cannot accept! "Lord Yan," Jiajing raised his hand and looked at Yan Song, "What do you think?" When everyone heard Jiajing speak, they shut up and looked at Yan Song. "Your Majesty," Yan Song raised his eyes and bowed, "Japan is ungrateful and bullies our Ming Dynasty. I think..." As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Yan Song's old eyes, "It should be destroyed." He said these two words lightly, but to everyone's ears, there was an invisible sense of solemnity. However, this time, neither Zhang Juzheng nor Gao Gong thought that there was anything wrong with Yan Song's behavior. Originally they wanted to destroy Japan and treat the country's land as a spiritual field to cultivate spiritual resources for the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Japan has abundant gold and silver, which are all needed by the Ming Dynasty. With the start of the second, third, and fourth stages of land reform, the Ming Dynasty still needs money in many places. The sooner we can destroy Japan, the sooner we can get our hands on the country's resources so that they can be used in Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. What the Ming Dynasty is seeking now is speed, and Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others want even faster. After all, these people have not yet obtained the immortal magic, so what’s the use of having a spiritual field at home? The only way for them to obtain immortal magic is to make contributions in political achievements and receive rewards from the emperor. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were more anxious than anyone else. In their opinion, the entire cabinet now consisted of only three of them. Well, what they didn't know was that Zhao Zhenji had already obtained the immortal method. "In that case, let's start the war." Jiajing said calmly. In fact, he also wanted to know what specific changes would occur in his destiny after the Ming Dynasty opened up overseas territories. Although he already knew through the "Emperor's Scripture" that the dynasty opened up new territories when it was in power, it could be conferred through the imperial seal. Afterwards, a new natal chart will appear in addition to your natal chart, but you have to experience it in reality to understand the details. "Yes!" With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, conquering a tiny country would be a piece of cake. After everyone went downstairs to prepare, Jiajing called Lu Bing. "By the end of the year, the Ming Dynasty will wipe out Japan. Will the Xianwu Guards be able to take part?" Jiajing asked directly without further ado. Since it was a national war, we couldn't be careless. The preparations before the war, as well as the problems that might be encountered when crossing the sea, would probably take a year to prepare. Of course, Jiajing had also taken all these into consideration, and by that time there would be sufficient preparations for elixirs and other things so that the soldiers could overcome various problems of acclimatization that might arise during the sea voyage.
During this period, Xiangyun Island and Longlin Island were supported by Mao Haifeng, Xu Yuanliang and others. Moreover, it would take a long time for Oda Nobunaga and others to eliminate the Ming forces in Japan. Before completely eliminating the internal unstable factors, they would not be stupid enough to take action against Longlin Island and Xiangyun Island. What they didn't know was that a traitor had already appeared in their ranks and had secretly reached a deal with the Ming Dynasty. And what the Ming Dynasty needed was this one year, which was when the army would land on the Japanese island and carry out the cleansing. "Your Majesty, within one year, I guarantee that they can all break through to the first level of the acquired realm!" Lu Bing immediately expressed his position after listening to Lu Fang's story about the court's plan to eliminate Japan within a year. After all, the best training ground is the battlefield! The Ming Immortal Guards are the main force of the future Ming Immortal Dynasty. They naturally cannot miss the opportunity to go to the battlefield. "Give more of the pills you make to the Xianwu Guard." Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and ordered. "Yes." Lu Fang bowed and agreed. In the following period of time, the Ming Dynasty was still busy with land reform and the implementation of the Eight Currency Policies to complete the monetary system reform. The cabinet also began to dispatch the six ministries and at the same time issued an order to the Governor-General of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, to transfer troops to Ningbo Prefecture. As the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, Hai Rui naturally received an order from the cabinet to eliminate Japan by the end of the year. Ningbo Prefecture, the back hall of the prefectural government office. This time, Wang Yongji, the Chancellor of Prince Yu's Palace, and the newly appointed Censor were once again sent to Hai Rui. Just like when the case was investigated in Dinghai County, people from the Qingliu and Yan party were once again placed around Hai Rui. After all, Ningbo Prefecture is one of the most important strategic deployment sites on the southeast coast. Now that the army has gathered in Ningbo Prefecture, there must be someone trustworthy and reliable from both sides to take charge. However, this time there was no dispute between the two factions. Instead, they united to launch a war against the enemy. Hai Rui did not have to worry about trouble between the two sides. The current situation in the Ming Dynasty is that internal struggles are acceptable, but the final result must be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, when the emperor's wrath descends, neither the Qingliu Party nor the Yan Party will be able to bear it. Back hall, study room. "Brother Gangfeng, it seems that you have nothing to say this time?" Wang Yongji took a sip of spiritual tea and said with a smile. Yes, Hai Rui also had a supply of magical tea. Where did it come from? Of course, it was given by Jiajing. There was even a spiritual field in the backyard of the Ningbo Prefecture's yamen. As for magical arts and other things, Hai Rui naturally had plenty of them too. After all, Hai Rui will be stationed in Ningbo Prefecture for a long time in the future, specifically dealing with all overseas matters. Jiajing would certainly not really leave the sword idle here, letting it rust and eventually break. "If the imperial court wants to develop the Immortal Dynasty, it will naturally have to expand abroad," Hai Rui put down his teacup, "Besides, it's all for the good of Ming Dynasty, what can I say?" "Brother Gangfeng, don't you think it is wrong to covet the territories of other countries?" Wang Yongji was surprised at Hai Rui's reasonableness. "Mingshou, who do you think I am?" Hai Rui looked at Wang Yongji with dissatisfaction and said, "To eat the emperor's salary, share the emperor's worries, and serve the court is the duty of a minister. Do you think that I, Hai Rui, am a pedantic person?" “Haha.” Wang Yongji was stunned at first when he saw his friend’s dissatisfied look, and then he laughed out loud, “I underestimated Brother Gangfeng. I accept the punishment, I accept the punishment, haha…”
"But speaking of this," Wang Yongji continued after the laughter stopped, "After Japan is wiped out, I'm afraid your good days will be over, Brother Gangfeng. Japan is favored by the two princes." "At the same time, the Yan Party and Qingliu are also watching." "You will inevitably embezzle money in the future. You are in charge of Ningbo Prefecture, which is equivalent to imprisoning the clean officials and investigating the strict party..." Wang Yongji said, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's too offensive." As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "In the future, the new nobles of the court will probably be those 'Military Merits'." "And the one who is in charge of the entire Zhejiang Province is Yan Ge Lao's student, Hu Zongxian, Hu Bu Tang." Wang Yongji said in a deep voice: "Brother Gangfeng, listen to my advice and don't offend him!" "Ningbo Prefecture is good, and your position in the emperor's heart is no less than that of the elders in the cabinet, but it is not the capital after all." "The development of the Immortal Dynasty must start from the top and spread downwards. If it can be transferred back to the capital, it should be transferred back." After listening to his friend's heartfelt words, Hai Rui was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, drinking tea instead of water: "Ming Shou, please." While the Ming Dynasty's land reform, currency reform, and preparations for war with Japan were in full swing, Jiajing once again entered the world of cultivating immortals, but this time he was going to transport supplies. His current cultivation level has broken through to the foundation-building stage, which is not too bad in the relatively safe southeast region. After all, some independent cultivators in the Qi Refining stage were also wandering around, not to mention that Jiajing was an elder of the Daming Immortal Sect, so no one dared to mess with him. With the opening of trade routes, Liu Quan became busier and busier. When Jiajing came back this time, he still did not see him. Song Xinchai said that wild markets have been opened up around Southeast City. He wants to help the Dugu family gain a foothold there. At the same time, he has to run around and contact the sects and independent cultivators near Southeast City. After all, the trade routes were opened, but there still needed to be a large number of "customers" to make money. Jiajing was in seclusion, the head of the sect went to the Central Plains, the left protector was in seclusion, and the right protector was killed. In the end, these burdens fell on him. After receiving 500,000 taels of spiritual energy from Song Xinchai, Jiajing went to Sifang City and spent 200,000 taels to buy a transport shuttle from the "Daxuansuohang". Afterwards, he bought five high-level attack talismans of the five elements, some pills, and some books on "array" and "refining". Afterwards, he began to travel around some areas in the Great Wilderness, looking for a suitable blessed place with spiritual energy. He disassembled his natal body and buried it deep underground to open up spiritual energy for the Ming Dynasty. After all, although the spiritual vein of the Daming Immortal Sect is good, if the entire Daming is put there to "absorb" it, it will be discovered sooner or later. For example, the "spiritual soil" granted to Yan Song for raising "spiritual beasts" does not need to be placed on the spiritual veins, which is too wasteful. In today's Ming Dynasty, people should focus on cultivation. Time flies, and on December 26th of the 43rd year of Jiajing, the Ming army had assembled in the southeast. Jiajing also returned to the Ming the day before. Late at night, heavy snow fell. In the square behind Yuxi Palace. Prince Yu, Prince Jing, as well as everyone from the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department were all present. No one knew why the emperor asked them to enter the palace so late at night, and everyone was guessing. However, only Lu Fang, who was standing on the steps at the door, understood what the emperor was going to do. Although he said nothing, he subconsciously looked up at the sky. Because he knew that right above everyone's heads, there was a huge magical weapon - the flying shuttle! The Emperor will take the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department to go overseas in person to overlook the first national war of the Ming Dynasty! "..."
