Soon the secret telegram from Ryukyu was delivered to Emperor Zhu Da's door.
In the operation of the country, intelligence work is always the most important work. Whether it is the president or the prime minister of future generations, their daily official duties will start with an "Intelligence Briefing". Such a briefing will determine their daily work.
work.
In fact, Ming Dynasty's intelligence work has always been very good. Perhaps Emperor Zhu did not understand the operation and training of intelligence agencies, but he has watched a lot of spy movies. What about CIA and KGB? How do their spies work? Why?
Trained?
Although I know it is not that detailed, I still know something about it. So as early as ten years ago, Ming Dynasty had established an agent school. The trained agents have already infiltrated into various countries around the world, and many have even entered government agencies in various countries.
.
Although it is impossible to break into high-level positions, even ordinary employees still have the opportunity to obtain a lot of information.
Moreover, the anti-espionage awareness of various countries in the world is still relatively weak, so Ming Dynasty's intelligence work has been quite efficient in these years. Of course, in addition to the collection of intelligence, what is more important is the analysis and judgment of intelligence. This is intelligence
The top priority of the job.
Unlike what outsiders imagine, intelligence agencies are filled with omnipotent agents such as 007. Whether in the CIA, KGB or MI5, there are more civilian staff, and intelligence analysts account for most of them.
It is they who provide research and judgment results based on integrated analysis from messy intelligence.
Emperor Zhu Da held in his hand at this time, in addition to the telegram, a report on further analysis and judgment of the situation in Japan based on this intelligence.
"Meiji actually died like this... It's really... God has foresight!"
Emperor Zhu Da really didn't expect that Meiji would live for so long. Logically speaking, he should die quickly from nuclear radiation, but he never thought that he could survive for such a long time. In fact, Emperor Zhu Da didn't know that when it comes to nuclear radiation and metal alone,
The strength of uranium is not very high, it is just a few parts on the watch. The damage to Meiji's body is accumulated over time, and it must be accumulated to a certain extent before it can be effective.
"Saigo Takamori actually rebelled against this butterfly and flapped its wings a little too hard!"
In fact, Emperor Zhu admired Xixiang Longsheng very much. After all, in an era when generals had made great achievements and their bones were withered, there were few people like him who cared about the treatment of ordinary nobles and were willing to do it for them again and again.
One utterance.
"A child is determined to leave his hometown, and he vows not to return it until he succeeds in his studies. There is no need to bury his bones in his hometown. There are green mountains everywhere in life!"
This... As soon as I memorized it, Emperor Zhu Da suddenly remembered that this poem came from the teacher's "Qijue: Modification of Xixiang Longsheng's Poems for Father".
As for the original version, I don’t seem to remember it...but this guy Saigo!
Looking at the causes and consequences of the Japanese gentry rebellion, Emperor Zhu Da said to himself.
"400,000 nobles are unemployed. This...isn't just a consumable material for the empire! It's a waste of resources to be trapped in Japan like this!"
On this point, Emperor Zhu Da agreed with Xixiang Longsheng's point of view. Of course, it was not to conquer Korea, but to use these resources for expansion.
If these resources can be used to colonize the Ming Dynasty, these 400,000 supplies will be enough for the Ming Dynasty to conquer... at least enough to conquer the entire Africa!
In fact, it is easy to conquer Africa. What is the key? Or is it colonization in the process of conquest? Not to mention Africa in this era, even Africa in the 21st century, you have to be vaccinated with N kinds of vaccines when you go there. Even so, if you are infected
Some infectious diseases can also take away half of your life, or even end your life.
Is it so easy to get money in Africa?
If it were easy to get, Europeans would not wait until 1884. Why did the British use a large number of Indians in Africa? To put it bluntly, the Indians were British imperial consumables!
Empire supplies!
Daming also needs its own supplies!
In fact, the reason why he gave Meiji a watch was to create chaos in Japan and prevent the rise of Japan. It would be best to restore Japan to the Warring States Period, and then Ming could defeat them one by one and invest the imperial supplies.
Go where Ming Dynasty needs.
But the current rebellion in Japan is a bit beyond Emperor Zhu Da's expectations. After all, in history, Saigo Takamori only rebelled a few years later. How could he launch a rebellion so boldly?
The wings of this saucer flap just a little too much.
But it was within the acceptable range. After all, what Emperor Zhu Da needed was not a unified Japan, but a divided Japan that fell into civil strife.
Now, it's just the beginning, and we can continue to burn the fire. Try to make Japan's fire burn even more fiercely.
"Wagong...the Japanese actually want a female emperor? It's a bit unexpected."
There are a lot of variables in Japan!
The rebellious samurai wanted an emperor who was actually a widow whose husband had died.
Widow, widow...
And the status is a bit special. Sleeping under Mount Fuji orchid is more exciting than sleeping under Mount Fuji with the emperor...
Just when this thought came to mind, secretary Song Yuanqing came over with another document.
Although there was a prime minister in the Ming Dynasty system, as a monarch with real power, Emperor Zhu Da had to handle government affairs directly while the prime minister handled government affairs. At the same time, he also needed to directly control power.
As the founding king of the country, Emperor Zhu Da certainly did not intend to imitate the ancestors of Hongwu and take care of everything. Why should he tire himself to death in the office as an emperor? Even if he were to die, it would definitely be under the peonies.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu Da learned from the system of later generations and used secretaries to share part of the government affairs.
In the Ming Dynasty's system, secretaries played a very important role. As early as the company period, companies had secretarial offices, with dozens of secretaries handling various matters.
Now the Ming royal family also has its own secretarial office. These secretaries are different from imperial officials. They have no rank and are basically equivalent to the emperor's retainers.
Song Yuanqing is Emperor Zhu Da's first secretary. He has held this position for several years. As usual, it is almost time to go out and practice.
Emperor Zhu Da has not yet decided where to go to practice.
"Your Majesty, this is an official letter from the Ministry of War!"
He handed over the folder respectfully, and just when Song Yuanqing was about to leave, Emperor Zhu Da said as if he remembered something,
"Something happened in Japan!"
Then Emperor Zhu Da clicked on the telegram, and after he read it, he asked again.
"What do you think about this matter?"
"This is a good opportunity for me, Daming!"
Song Yuanqing's words made Emperor Zhu nod and said.
"What do you think."
"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty's colonization business in Africa has always been hampered by insufficient manpower and the high number of immigrant deaths and injuries caused by the harsh environment. This means that if our Ming Dynasty wants to explore Africa, we must have help, and this is
At present, there is no more suitable choice than the Japanese, especially those unemployed rogues who only have their lord in their hearts and no country, so there is no need to worry about loyalty issues at all..."
What kind of country do Japanese people love these days? They are all used to calling themselves from this domain or that domain. Their allegiance is always to the lord. As for the emperor... the emperor has just betrayed them. They tried their best to help the emperor restore the king's government, but the king's government
As soon as he recovered, he immediately dismissed them all without waiting for rewards based on their merits. He even lost the right to carry swords. Such an emperor did not hang him as a street lamp because the samurai were too servile.
.
Patriotism and love for the emperor, the Japanese today simply don’t have that consciousness.
To put it bluntly, they are just a group of guys who have breasts and are mothers.
"It makes sense, but the question is, what should we do now that Japan is experiencing civil strife?"
Looking at Song Qingyuan, Emperor Zhu asked again.
Civil strife in Japan is a good opportunity!
What a great opportunity this is, Japan... that has been the place where the Ming Dynasty has been since ancient times.
"Your Majesty, I think that what we need right now is to show our presence!"
