Xu Jingming is of course an extraordinary person. Yongjian's mission is to assist the Ming Dynasty in fighting, and to gain benefits from the Ming Dynasty.

It would be better to be able to meet this Duke Dingguo, the queen mother's nephew, the emperor's cousin, the tiger of the Ming Dynasty, and the number one general of the Ming army.

Besides, people are humble and generous, which is really impeccable.

So, it didn't take long for the two to be called brothers.

However, at this time, Prince Yongjian finally couldn't help but feel that there was something he should say.

In fact, after Yongjian arrived, he was very dissatisfied with the many arrangements of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the Duke of Ding now has the full authority to entertain the Japanese army, so he has always wanted to find Xu Jingming to ask about it. After all, this matter is related to the safety of tens of thousands of Japanese troops. There are still many Japanese troops to land in the future, so they cannot tolerate carelessness.

When the wine was over, Prince Yongjian said, "Brother Xu, there is something I don't know if it's right or not."

Xu Jingming was as heroic as ever and said, "Your Highness, it's okay to say it."

Prince Yongjian said: "We came from afar, and we were responsible for the emperor's orders to join Daming to suppress the bandits of Langshan. Since Daming wanted us to guard the southeast coast, it would be fine, but we only allowed us to camp in Chongming. The Duke did not know that the camp of this army must have a harbor for shelter and buffering, just like Chongming, it was just an outer island. If an enemy suddenly attacked at this time, the army and horses on the island were not prepared for it, and it was very likely that they would be taken advantage of by the thieves. Therefore, in my opinion, we should be stationed in Ningbo. Ningbo has a terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the inland sea can enter the harbor. In this way, the defense will be much easier. I don't know what the Duke thinks."

What Yongjian said is indeed a very serious problem.

It should be noted that Songjiang and Chongming are both the estuary of the Yangtze River and the sea. Facing the East, it is logical that this history has long been around for the past dynasties. Even if the Ming Dynasty prohibits the sea, other dynasties may not have sea bans. But why is it still unknown here, and even before, there is only a group of fishermen living together?

If it were a simple maritime trade, these Songjiang Huating and Chongming were almost natural ports, and compared with the famous ports in history such as Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Ningbo, etc., it had a unique geographical location, but no one cares about it.

The biggest reason for this is that although Huating is a natural good harbor. It has a very superior geographical location, it has a disadvantage, that is, there is no harbor. In ancient times, most of the characteristics of any port were surrounded by mountains on three sides to facilitate the defense of pirate attacks. Therefore, most harbors are actually inner harbors. Once something happens, warnings can be heard from the outer sea. Then the defenders in the bay can immediately take defensive measures, and can also set up a turret on the hills on both sides of the bay to attack the enemies invading the bay.

Because of this, the famous Shanghai in later generations was just a small Huating County at this time. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than safety than convenience under the conditions at that time.

As for Chongming, it is even worse. Huating is at least bordering the inland. Once something happens, the defenders in nearby Songjiang Prefecture, even Zhenjiang, Suhang and other places can still provide assistance. Chongming is an outer island. If it is as big as Da Ryukyu or Qiongzhou, it is as deep as it is, it will be fine. At worst, it can be self-sufficient when it encounters an attack and wait for the mainland to provide assistance. The Chongming Island is only the size of a palm, and there is almost no war.

A little deeper, so many troops are piled up here, just like sardines in canned food. As for supplies, it will be even more awful. The island has a limited area and its storage capacity is even more terrible. All supplies are transported by the mainland. If there are thieves who cut off the contact between the island and the outside world, and no supplies are left, then wouldn't the 100,000 Japanese troops on this island be in a jar, and there is no need for the enemy to land in an invasion. If you are afraid of starving yourself to death.

When the Japanese army arrived, General Xu arranged them in Chongming at first. Originally, Yongjian thought that this was just a temporary solution, to let them rest in Chongming for the time being. After the Ming Dynasty built a port and camp for them on the mainland, they were invited to land. But later they realized that this was not the case, because they had no intention of letting them land on the mainland.

Since the enlightenment of Japan, he attached great importance to the navy. Yong Jianxing was the prince and specially entered the navy for study. Therefore, he had a deep understanding of this important matter that was at stake. It was precisely because of this that he had no choice but to talk to Xu Jingming.

This is not that it is not that it is unhappy, but that it is related to the lives of the 100,000 Japanese troops.

When Xu Jingming heard this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He sighed softly and said, "How could I not know what Your Highness said? Alas, you and I are good friends and good brothers. Some things I should not say to you as the imperial governor, but since we have a close relationship, we must explain it to you."

Yong Jian’s solemn expression: “I would like to ask Brother Xu for advice.”

Xu Jingming sighed and said, "You think this matter was arranged by me. Do you want to make things difficult for you? I'm scared, I'm so upright, so open and honest, I have never done such a bad thing in my life. I have always admired you. Look at the Japanese geisha I have raised, which is a clear proof. If I had the intention to make things difficult for you, would I still admire your culture? Will I often communicate with women in your country so deeply? Alas... The root of the problem is still in the temple. Today, I am naturally wise, but there are also

Some ministers who are not as good as Niguhua always have prejudice against you. I often argue with him for your reason and tell them that the Japanese are also humans, not beasts, why do you regard them as jackals? But you must know that there is nothing small in the court, and any thing may be found out, and eventually it will ruin the big thing. Now your country is willing to help the war. This is a relationship, but if you are attacked by some court officials because of letting you land, it will ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries. In this case, it is better to have more things than less. Let you feel wronged on Chongming Island first."

After Xu Jingming said that, seeing Yongjian looked depressed and seemed unsatisfied. It was understandable that the other person was dissatisfied. His Highness Yongjian, with the fearless spirit of internationalism, traveled thousands of miles to the central country to serve the central country, but was suspected by others. It would be very difficult for anyone to feel.

Xu Jingming smiled and said, "But to be honest, now the bandit army has sharpened its swords and gathered in Guangdong and looked at Jiangxi. We will eventually be peaceful in the world and will not cause any trouble. It is not impossible for you to feel wronged in Chongming. I can see that the emperor saw that these grievances are actually torture of the conscience of those who have nothing to do. Your Highness, how about this matter? "

Speaking of this, Prince Yongjian could say nothing more than to say anything, and he had to agree unhappily and eat a silly wine.

But soon, the geisha who was drinking attracted him. He became drunk and gradually threw away the unhappiness in his heart, so he became unrestrained.

"Beast!" Xu Jingming saw that Yongjian was almost riding on a geisha in front of everyone, and couldn't help but burst into a sense of justice. He cursed fiercely, so he clapped his hands and the assistants dispersed one after another. The protagonist, naturally, left the hall.

It was already dark, and behind him was the voluntary shouting and the screams of women. Xu Jingming was so calm that he carried his hands behind his back, taking advantage of the night to hum a little song: "Ahhhhh... You said he was "many soldiers and a wide range of generals, strong men and strong horses"; a real man dared to take the lead, and one man worked hard, and it was hard to be a man. Xu came to the big river, how could the person I was receiving? You said that he was going to fight the battlefield across the river, and it was difficult to be with him. I bowed to that guy and took me to the boat..."

While speaking, Xu Jingming had disappeared into the night.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

That night, two letters were sent out, one to the west and the other to the south.

Going west is a memorial. Songjiang is not far from Jinling, and it takes only one day and night to send it.

Now the war gradually eased, and finally gave Zhu Gaosui a chance to breathe. Finally, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty stopped being angry and attacked. However, he had lost one after another and worried about the situation at that time, which made him aged a lot. Last night, he stayed up all night. He should have gone to take a nap in the morning, but when Songjiang's urgent message came, Zhu Gaosui didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he had to open his eyes and recruit several bachelors from the cabinet to discuss matters in this warm cabinet.

Zhu Gaosui's face was not good. He circulated the memorial to Huang Huai and others on the bottom. After everyone read it, they stopped talking.

The content in the memorial was very simple. Japan repeatedly requested to land in Ningbo and Huating, and asked the court to allow it. At the end of this memorial, Xu Jingming also added a sentence, "His Highness Yongjian is approachable and often said that he spoke Chinese and wore Chinese clothes. He admired Zhongtu for a long time. It is expected that the Japanese landed, and there would never be any changes.

Zhu Gaosui's face was gloomy and he said slowly: "What do you think of me?"

Huang Huai stopped talking.

Others dared not speak out.

This is difficult.
