After the Ming army destroyed the Zong family and the Japanese pirates on Tsuma Island, they had Qian Xili and other envoys, and their whereabouts were unknown.After this, the two countries will not communicate tomorrow.
If we look at the Ming and Japan exchanges in the second year of Wude, people can speculate that such a thing will probably end up in the end.
During the Hongwu period, because the Japanese mission was suspected of participating in the Hu Weiyong case, state relations were once tense, but there was no result later.
It is because the water is far away and the journey is inconvenient; and it is difficult for any country and court to make great moves just because of the right or wrong reason or the joy and anger of the upper class.After all, the cost is too high and the cost is too high.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Annan, Japan, and various chieftains in the southwestern border have repeatedly provoked the Ming court, and there has never been any further information.
Only Emperor Taizong urgently needed to show his martial arts skills and judged that the Hu family in Annan had an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos of the regime of Annan. This was why the troops who escorted Chen Tianping were attacked and a large-scale campaign to conquer Annan was launched.
Therefore, the top Japanese nationals may also believe that there will be no war.
However, this time Japan seems to be a misjudgment of the situation.
Zhu Gaoxu decided to launch the battle against Japan, mainly because of the detention of the envoy. His reasons are difficult to understand by the world.
Nearly a month has passed since the second court discussion.
Under the emperor's determination, another group of confidant advisers supported Zhu Gaoxu and gave advice for him, so the court finally decided on the major event of going to war against Japan.
There were still many opposition voices in the court. Some ministers advocated focusing on military affairs and focusing on Mongolia, and war should not be launched from all sides; but the emperor at this time of the Ming Dynasty still had the power to be arbitrary.
The edict was also issued, which accused the Japanese Kōmuromachi Temple, which was the 20 major new and old crimes.
It includes covering up the Japanese pirates to plunder the military and civilians, illegally detaining the Ming envoys, massacring the Ming navy's officers and soldiers for no reason, deceiving the emperor, and assassinating Taizu.
At the same time, the court sent envoys to Seoul, North Korea, and issued an order to King Lee Fangyuan of the North Korea: at the latest, before April 1, 20,000 troops would be stockpiled in Busan Town for three months.
And before July 1, the other three-month food will continue to be transported.
The Ming Dynasty court will reward the King of Korea with the gifts.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue both sent officials to North Korea to supervise the actual implementation of this matter.
Then the Ministry of War issued a military order to deploy a naval fleet, which should capture Yiqi Island before the end of the second year of Wude, and build a bastion and warehouse in the port.
After the eunuch Wang Jinghong's fleet of sea ships voyages to the West returned to Beijing, he had gathered the main fleets of the Ming Dynasty in Liujiagang and Longjianggang in Taicang.
The imperial court expected that the main force of land and water recruitment in Japan would set sail in early March next year.
The ministers have repeatedly summarized the reasons for the failure of the Yuan army to conquer Japan and chose to set out in early March. One is because of the favorable monsoon sailing, and the other is because of the west coast of Japan in March and April, there are few typhoons.
The Ming Dynasty court joined hands with the North Korean state to be responsible for grain and supplies, and also made long-term and sufficient preparations.
Compared with the Yuan army's rash dispatch, underestimation of the enemy, and the large number of prisoners and surrendered troops, the sea ships that were pieced together with flat sand ships, and had poor resistance to wind and waves; this time, the Ming army was obviously not good at visiting.
The Ming Navy warship is a variety of excellent sea ships specially used for navigation, with large pointed ships stable and strong; the naval commander has sailed several times and has rich navigation experience, including navigation technology including star positioning, nautical chart drawing and other means.
The 20,000 soldiers of the Land Division were also the elite of the Beijing Camp in a hundred battles; and when attacking the Qinghua Prefecture of Annan Kingdom, they had experience in landing operations.
Now the imperial court is preparing to select famous generals and command this army, and then it can launch a fully prepared attack on Japan.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu would not go to the personal expedition. This time he did not need to persuade him, and he himself did not want to take risks.
Zhu Gaoxu dared to go deep into the grassland to expedition, but was unwilling to go out to sea.
Even though the Ming army's sea ships were large and stable, in this era, the risk of sailing was still very high, because every time they went to sea, the ships and people were damaged.
Wang Jinghong, who returned to China this year, even brought back a group of Ming army officers and soldiers who disappeared several years ago.
Those were several sea boats from the Yongle era. After they were lost and overturned in the wind and waves, people floated to a small island along the coast of Siam.
When Wang Jinghong's fleet found them, the Ming officers' troops almost became savages, and some even married natives on the island and gave birth to children, and were taken back to the capital.
Most of the soldiers have families in the country, and native women have no choice but to be concubines.
Now that the court's decision has been completed, Zhu Gaoxu can only wait for the progress of things.
Only then did he start to do what he promised before, and promised Qin and Concubine Xian to find a way to redeem Yao Fang and others.
In the East Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Gaoxu summoned Hu Yi alone and ordered Hu Yi to take charge of something.
This matter cannot be in the name of the court, and it is not appropriate for the members of the Yao family.Hu Budang went to meet the Qian family and asked their family to send a few people to Hakata Port on a boat and send the letters to the Japanese government.You tell the Qian family that the ransom was raised by scholars in the court.But in fact, everyone doesn’t have to raise money. If the matter is agreed, I am willing to allocate the money from the inner government.
Hu Yi said, "I must do this."
At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui walked to the screen and bowed and stood there.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu waved.
Wang Gui stepped forward and submitted an envelope, saying: Report to the Emperor, the Tongzheng Envoy received the official document sent by the prefect of Laizhou Prefecture, but the letter and signature inside were Yao Fang.I think the emperor may want to see this letter as soon as possible.
When Hu Yi heard this, he immediately looked at him sideways.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper from it.
Yao Fang's letter was sent from Busan Town, and was delivered to Wendeng County, Laizhou Prefecture by sea through officials and officials from Laizhou Prefecture. Then, they were handled by officials from Laizhou Prefecture and sent to the capital.
It turned out that Yao Fang was not arrested.
After they arrived at Hakata Port, they went to Kawaya County. Yao Fang smelled something was wrong at that time, but the persuasion of Qian Xili was fruitless.
Yao Fang found a way to find the Japanese whom he had known before, got a warning from Dainai, and accepted Dainai's protection and hid it.
After Yao Fang promised that the big net would win two million coins, he went to Busan Town, North Korea after several twists and turns.
Although Yao Fang and Danue Sheng had limited friendship, it was a fact that Danue Sheng saved Yao Fang.Therefore, Yao Fang planned to keep her promise and tried to raise two million coins to bring back the people of Da Neisheng.
Because Yao Fang did not return to China immediately because she wanted to raise money, so she wrote a letter back first.
Yao Fang was preparing to pass through the Ming Dynasty officials in North Korea to meet Zhuang Concubine Zhuang's father Li Fanggan, and borrow money from Li Fanggan.After returning to China, he raised money and returned the debt to Li Fanggan.
After reading the letter, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.He glanced at Hu Yi who was still in front of the imperial case, and handed the letter to Hu Yi.
Although Yao Fang caused trouble for Zhu Gaoxu, somehow, Zhu Gaoxu did not hate this person; let alone Yao Fang was Yao Ji's elder brother, and he was busy with Zhu Gaoxu's affairs before and now.
Yao Fang is still very alert and deserves to be a Jinyiwei for many years.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Hu Yi echoed: What the emperor said is extremely true. After he said that, he still had no intention of saying goodbye, as if he was waiting for something.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: I still have to do what I just said.Qian Xili is my disciple, and he is also responsible for taking risks to the Ming Dynasty court and should do his best to rescue him.
Hu Yi said: I will follow the order and thank you for your gratitude and leave.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Wang Gui, handed over the letter and said: Send it to the Xianfei Palace to make Xianfei feel at ease sooner.Another eunuch was sent to Pingyi Hou Mansion to tell the Qin family.
Wang Gui held the whisk and said, "I will obey the order."
...In the Xianfei Palace, after reading the letter, Yao Ji felt like a big stone fell in her heart, but she said to Wang Gui: My elder brother, I have never let me worry.
Wang Gui smiled and said: Finally, he got rid of danger. This is better than anything else. Yao Fang has a sister like Concubine Xian, which is also his blessing. By the way, the emperor issued an order and I have sent someone to the Pingyi Hou Mansion to report safety. Please be content with peace.
Yao Ji said: Thanks to Concubine Zhuang’s father.Even if it is thousands of miles away, it is a good thing if someone takes care of it.
Yao Ji asked someone to see Wang Gui, the eunuch of Silijian, away, and then walked around the Xianfei Palace for a while.
Meiren Li was so clever, so she asked: Concubine Xian, are you going to Concubine Zhuang?
After hearing this, Yao Ji smiled: You are the worm in my belly, you know everything. Your ears are also good. You listened very carefully when I talk to Wang Gui.
Meiren Li smiled and said: It’s better for the Empress to discipline her.
These female officials were not chosen by Yao Ji himself.
After Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, he was granted many female officials to manage the affairs of each palace.
Some Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have been lucky, while others probably didn't know him at all.
This is the latter.
But Mei Li lives in Xianfei's palace and is soon attracted by Yao Ji.
Yao Ji walked around and found a basket of citrus in the small room next to the dining room. She immediately pointed at it and said: Ask two eunuchs to carry it up and follow me to Zhuangfei Palace.
Meiren Li was a little surprised: This citrus is just an ordinary thing and is not very rare.
Yao Ji said: That's the best.Otherwise, would I be bribing Concubine Zhuang?
Meiren Li was stunned for a moment and hurriedly echoed: The Empress’s wish is more precious than anything else.
Yao Ji said: It is better to have a heart. This kind of thing doesn’t seem deliberate. It’s just a small gift for sisters to walk around.Besides, she is all the imperial concubine. Can she still lack food and clothing in the palace?
Meiren Li suddenly remembered something and said suddenly: North Korea is in the north, and it seems that there is no citrus. I guess it is a rare thing. Concubine Xian thought it was really thoughtful.
After hearing this, Yao Ji smiled without saying a word.Even though Meiren Li was a woman, she was a little stunned when she saw Yao Ji's smile.
