Chapter 88 Zhu Yuanzhang is passionate and determined to destroy the Japanese! "Now, the Japanese slaves feel that they have learned enough and are strong enough. Not only did they change the name of the country given by Emperor Guangwu, 'Japanese', to the Sakura Kingdom."
"I am no longer willing to live in my vassal state of China, nor am I willing to accept the title of canonization from the Emperor of China."
"It even crossed the ocean to harass the coastal border of my Ming Dynasty, and started to bite the master again!"
"In the sixth year of Hongwu, during the Battle of Quanzhou, the Ming Navy sank dozens of Japanese pirate warships and captured a lot of loot."
"Among them, in addition to the free gains from robbing fishing boats, there are more gold and silver. These can be verified from the battle reports."
“Where do ordinary fishermen get their gold and silver?”
"As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are rare. The gold and silver of the Ming Dynasty are not very liquid."
“Have you ever seen fishermen going out to sea to fish and carrying gold and silver with them?”
Facing the question, Zhu Xi frowned, looked up at Lin Che and said: "Never!"
"Not to mention the fishermen who go fishing at sea, even ordinary people rarely carry money when they go out on the streets."
"Mostly they carry some copper coins or Ming Tong Bao."
"It's more convenient to exchange money to buy things this way."
Snapped! Lin Che applauded: "exactly!"
"As a fisherman, it is impossible to bring this gold and silver. We can only say that these are Japanese pirates."
"But even the Japanese pirates have a lot of gold and silver. This can only show that the gold and silver mines on the Japanese islands have not yet been centrally managed. Many of them may have been picked up. Otherwise, this cannot be explained at all..."
Speaking of this, Lin Che glanced at Zhu Xi, who was listening carefully to the lecture, and said meaningfully:
"Want to make meritorious service?"
"I want to make a meritorious service and ask your father to persuade Emperor Hongwu to send troops to the sea to destroy these Japanese countries that are harming the people along the coast."
"I found these gold and silver mines by the way. Ming Dynasty was rich at that time, and your old man was also the first to do so."
"Maybe you can become a general in this battle and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty."
Lin Che's words made Zhu Xi's heart surge.
Whenever he thought about how the Tang army defeated the many with a small number and defeated the Japanese pirates, Zhu Xi was fascinated.
If he could lead a large army to flatten the Japanese islands and destroy his country Zuo.
Wouldn’t it be true that in the next thousand years, all the daughters of the Japanese country will be the concubines of my people in the Ming Dynasty?
I fantasize about becoming a general conquering Japan and sweeping across the Japanese islands.
Zhu Ping shook his fist excitedly and said: "If that's the case, then you should go to the Japanese island and kill yourself!"
"Kill them until they crawl at the feet of the Ming Dynasty forever and become the slaves of the Ming Dynasty forever!"
"I will tell my father when I get back...and ask my father to report this matter to the emperor."
Lin Che was very satisfied with Zhu Ping's performance.
I also thought that Zhu Xi could use this momentum to ask the boy's father to go to Emperor Shu to conquer the Japanese country.
Even if Lin Che will be beheaded tomorrow.
But as long as Ming Dynasty can send troops, he will die without regrets.
……
the other side.
Separated by a wall, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his chair. His two big calloused hands kept rubbing each other, but the coolness on his fingertips did not diminish at all.
"Boss!"
"Go to the Gyeonggi camp immediately!"
"Let your Uncle Xu come over right away!"
"Go!"
"Hurry up, the sooner the better!"
heard.
Zhu Biao suddenly felt that time was urgent and did not dare to neglect it at all.
He agreed, put down his pen, and quickly walked out of the secret room.
It was learned that Japan had a large number of gold and silver mines.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not sit still for a moment.
He clasped his hands behind his back and circled back and forth in the secret room, like an ant on a hot pot.
The land of China was originally short of gold and silver. In the past hundred years, it had been ravaged and plundered by the Mongols of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
This makes the already rare gold and silver even more scarce.
To make matters worse, Beiyuan withdrew from the Central Plains and was defeated in Mobei, sweeping away almost all the valuables in the Central Plains.
As a result, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, people have been worried about lack of money.
Hongwu Tongbao was changed from big money to small money, and the copper content was even Yuanzhang was so embarrassed just thinking about it! However, once it is confirmed that the situation in Japan is true, Ming Dynasty's current dilemma will change instantly.
Whether it's the Royal Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty or the Jurchens of Liaodong, it doesn't matter if you have money.
Think of this.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with enthusiasm that he had not experienced in many years.
……
next door.
Zhu Xiang's blood was also boiling. He grabbed the wine jar and poured wine into his mouth.
Only to find that there was only a drop of crystal wine dripping on his face.
Just now, the two of them drank up a jar of old wine without knowing it.
Zhu Xi was unhappy and slapped the table: "Come on!"
In a situation like this, before this, as long as he shouted, enthusiastic jailers would immediately come to serve him.
But since the jailers were changed, these jailers don't have that much respect for him at all.
Zhu Xi called out four or five times in a row, and then he saw a sturdy jailer walking in slowly.
"Hurry up and get me a jar of good wine. I've run out of wine!"
Zhu Ping said and threw a piece of broken silver to the jailer.
The jailer glanced at Zhu Xi and returned the broken silver to him:
"There are regulations in the prison that prohibit collecting money from criminals."
When Zhu Xi heard this, he immediately got angry, locked the jailer's collar, and shouted:
"Is your second master a criminal? If we ask you to buy wine, then you will buy wine. There is so much nonsense!"
The jailer had his collar locked, but he still said without fear: "Prison regulations prohibit collecting money from criminals. As for you wanting to drink, I'll go back and report it to Mr. Lu, the prison warden."
"Let's see what Mr. Lu says!"
After saying that, he broke free from Zhu Ming's control and walked out of the prison cell with his head held high.
Zhu Ming stood angrily at the door of the prison cell and cursed.
But also helpless.
Lin Che also knew something about this grumpy student.
After some comfort, Zhu Ping's anger gradually dissipated.
It's just that such a sumptuous dish does seem too monotonous without wine.
The two of them suddenly lost interest in eating.
It's really boring to eat food alone.
Lin Che no longer had any interest in teaching, and Zhu Xi was even more listless.
Fortunately, after about a cup of tea, the jailer came back.
What was surprising was that he actually held a jar of old wine in his hand.
Zhu Fang suddenly felt his eyes light up, and quickly walked up to meet him, saying proudly: "How about it? This wine was given to you by Mr. Lu, right?"
"Those who have no eyesight and don't know who I am dare to get into trouble with me!"
"Blind your dog eyes!"
As if he didn't hear Zhu Ming's sarcasm, the jailer put down the wine jar without stopping, turned around and left the prison cell.
After the jailer left, Zhu Xi patted off the mud sealing the mouth of the wine jar.
First, he filled Lin Che's wine cup, then he filled it for himself, and picked up the wine glass: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to make you wait. I'd like to toast you with this cup!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Lin Che raised her glass without hesitation and drank the wine in one gulp.
With the help of alcohol, the atmosphere is really different.
Zhu Xi wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand and said loudly: "Sir, I have a question about fighting against Japanese pirates."
With the help of alcohol, Zhu Ping's voice became louder and his courage became stronger.
Lin Che was in a good mood as she drank a glass of wine. She smiled and encouraged: "If you have any questions, just ask me. As long as I know, I will tell you everything."
Regarding other things, perhaps Lin Che was not so active.
But it is a matter of great importance to destroy the Japanese.
Lin Che suddenly became very energetic.
