538 Misunderstanding?

At this time, Zheng Zhibao knew that Jianlu had really come to Edo. He had to admire the emperor. He was really foresighted and knew that Jianlu would come to Japan!

If he had thought that even if the Kenlu came to Edo, the Tokugawa shogunate might not have colluded with the Kenlu. But at this time, because the contents that Emperor Chongzhen had explained in advance were being realized one by one, he changed his original idea. With a frown, he immediately ordered his subordinates to use the information channels that had been arranged before and immediately go to inquire about the relevant news.

…………

Although Jianlu had communicated with the people of Japan for a long time, even those who came to Japan were from Japan. However, after they arrived in Edo this time, they did not have the smooth sailing as expected.

Living in the inn, he was first left for two days and was not summoned by the shogunate generals, and even the old masters could not see him. On the contrary, the shogunate samurai was very provocative to these tall men.

In response to this, Ying'erdai ordered his subordinates not to cause trouble. But the more this happened, the more the warriors became more and more aggressive, which made the white-armored soldiers in the Jianlu very angry, but for the sake of the future of the Qing Dynasty, they had to swallow their anger.

So, this scene happened. The tall and burly golden rat tail was bullied by the same strange-haired Japanese warriors who were short of them, but they never dared to fight back, which often made the Japanese warriors laugh.

On this day, Fan Wencheng, who had been hiding beside him and kept paying attention to this scene, finally found Ying'erdai and said to him: "Sir, you can't go on like this. How many days have passed since these Japanese warriors bullied people like this, and they have not restrained them yet. The subordinates do not believe that General Tokugawa will not know. But they did not stop it, obviously they did it on purpose."

Hearing this, Ying'erdai immediately had an epiphany and nodded, but he shook his head and said, "So what if you want to do it? You know the purpose of our visit to Japan this time. Personal honor and disgrace are small, and it is related to the future of the Qing Dynasty. You still have to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens!"

"Sir, this matter may not be possible!" Fan Wencheng immediately shook his head and said, "The official thought that although he had requests from Japan, he still had to let Japan know the strength of our Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can it attract the attention of Japan and be conducive to the negotiations that would turn back!"

When Ying'erdai heard this, he was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "Let's take a look, it's important. I really don't dare to gamble, I dare not gamble!"

In his opinion, the future of the Qing Dynasty depends entirely on the success or failure of this mission to Japan. His pressure is too great and he can't afford to bet. Otherwise, with his years of war career and his rebuke, the Korean king would be silent, so how could he be so angry with the Japanese!

Fan Wencheng was worried when he couldn't convince Ying'erdai, so he thought of something else. One thing he was sure that he could never continue like this.

Just as he was worried about this, he suddenly found that a Japanese warrior seemed a bit out of style, and his greed for money was more significant than other Japanese warriors. So he came up with a plan and used silver bullet attack to buy the Japanese warrior. But he didn't expect it to be very effective. For the sake of money, the Japanese warrior finally told some of the things behind it. In other words, the Japanese warriors were actually signaling the instructions of the superiors.

When Fan Wencheng saw it, he was overjoyed and immediately told Ying'erdai about this matter, "As expected, it was not as expected by the officials. This was the test of the Tokugawa shogunate on our Qing Dynasty. Lord, for the future of the Qing Dynasty, you must be hard, it is better to do this..."

As he said this, Ying'erdai thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded, and said to Fan Wencheng: "His Highness the Regent sent you to help me. It's true that you are wise. You have done a good job!"

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng became humble immediately, but he enjoyed the praise in his heart.

But there was one thing he absolutely did not expect. After the Japanese warrior took his money, he went to see another person and treated him to dinner. He said to the man happily: "It's your fault, those Jurchens are really generous, haha..."

After they left the table, the man secretly went to Zheng's mansion and reported it to the fifth master in person.

Zheng Zhibao heard this and waved his hand to let him go, but he looked towards the capital and murmured to himself in confusion: "Why did the emperor tell me that if Jianlu had to secretly help him when things were not going well? It would not be..."

After a moment of pause, he suddenly looked surprised and said, "Can the emperor be ready, and even the Japanese pirates are going to fight together?"

As soon as he reached this conclusion, everything before was connected. Zheng Zhibao suddenly realized. He was very sure that the emperor was preparing to take revenge on the Japanese attempt to conquer the Ming Dynasty through North Korea.

To achieve this goal, it is to let the Japanese cross the sea to North Korea again, and it is best to go to Liaodong again and extend its logistics supply line. This is why the elder brother was removed from the openly and told the Japanese that the navy had many complaints and other things.

After thinking about this, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but be amazed at the emperor's lofty ambitions. The emperors in the past have never taken the initiative.

At this time, he had already believed that what his elder brother said to him was definitely true: to make the flag of Ming flying across the ocean!

"In the future, maybe I can become a lieutenant guarding the territory, right?" Zheng Zhibao figured out the future situation and couldn't help but be full of longing for the future.

If you have a great understanding of the world, in this Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family dare not say that they are the first, but at least they are in the top few! Zheng Zhibao was very confident in this regard.

He was looking forward to the confusion of the future, but Ying'erd made some decisions about the confusion of the future. He began to react to the provocation of the Japanese warriors. A white-armored soldier broke all the ten Japanese warriors who were provoking them in one breath. It can almost be said that they were punching one by one, kicking one by one, and letting them lie down and hum. Then, Fan Wencheng came forward and accused angrily in front of the inn officials, saying that this is the way of treating people in a dignified Japanese country?

Could it be that the legendary wise general Tokugawa, who is short-sighted and can only live in islands and survive?

I have to say that when he said this, he was a bit of accusing Tokugawa Iemitsu. However, in order to minimize this meaning, he flattered Tokugawa Iemitsu and praised Tokugawa General Weiming for his wise and Mitsuburi.

In fact, there is another move besides this. It is this to say that the English-Ordet, the sergeant, did not come forward. Once Tokugawa Ie-Kiang was angry, the English-Ordet immediately scolded Fan-Cheng and apologized to Japan. It was also considered a sing of a red face and a sing of a white face.

Not to mention, the effect of doing this is really useful.

When the inn incident reached the shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but be surprised and said, "What, can a Jurchen defeat ten samurai?"

I have to say that this hurts his self-esteem a little. Although the Japanese are short and the Jurchens are tall, the result is still a bit difficult to accept.

Hearing this, his confidant subordinate, Matsuhira Nobutsu immediately comforted him: "Sir, we are good at firearms, on the battlefield, can the Jurchens still be invulnerable to swords and guns? Besides, I was afraid of blood before, so I told them not to use swords? Otherwise, what if the Jurchens are strong, can they block the Japanese swords?"

When Tokugawa Ie-kwang heard this, he finally got better, nodded and said, "No, good, it's reasonable!"

In this way, this matter has been revealed. Of course, no matter how they comfort themselves, they can count the strength comparison between the Japanese and Jurchens. At least they know that the Jurchens are tall and powerful, and they are not the most beautiful embroidered pillows.

If Japan hadn't planned to plot against the mainland, it wouldn't have picked up the Jurchens to Edo. After Fan Wencheng shouted that, Tokugawa Iemitsu finally nodded and arranged a meeting with the Jurchens.

This matter gave Fan Wencheng and Ying'erdai a great confidence, and felt that he had grasped the Japanese mentality. Therefore, under Fan Wencheng's leadership, he began to talk about some examples in history books, talking about the disadvantages of Japan and the benefits of forming an alliance with the Qing Dynasty.

Even in order to convince Tokugawa Iehiro, Fan Wencheng said nonsense: "Dissatisfied with the general, I will repay my Qing Dynasty in detail. The current Ming emperor is powerful and ambitious. Not only did he vow in public to defeat our Qing Dynasty, but he also wanted to eliminate all the enemies who offended the Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Do you know why North Korea was easily destroyed by our Qing Dynasty? It is because North Korea had surrendered under the power of our Qing Dynasty before, so the Emperor of Ming held a grudge and deliberately watched North Korea be destroyed by our Qing Dynasty. According to reliable information, your country had fought with Ming Dynasty, causing Ming Dynasty to lose its troops and generals, and even on the other hand, it was your country's actions that led to our Qing Dynasty rising from Liaodong. Therefore, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty vowed that if we eliminate our Qing Dynasty, we will definitely attack your country and avenge our shame!"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu, Matsuhira Nobutsu, Inoue Masashige and others were shocked.

To be honest, they didn't expect that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had such great ambitions?

Fan Wencheng saw their expressions and felt more confident in his heart, and continued: "The territory of Ming Dynasty is vast, and the flower world of Central Plains is extremely prosperous. After all, the Qing Dynasty only occupies the land of Liaodong and cannot swallow a fat man in one bite. Therefore, His Highness, the Regent of the Customs, sent me here to invite your country to divide the Ming Dynasty together. To show sincerity, the land of North Korea can be presented first. The Qing Dynasty will resist the Ming Dynasty, and your country can eat North Korea first, thinking what is the meeting gift?"
