Yun Zheng came out from behind. The Japanese ministers were still waiting outside. Yun Zheng looked at them and saw that these people had happy faces. Yun Zheng was quite curious and raised his eyebrows: "My lords, what are you happy about?
Happy?"
Kawakami came out and replied with a smile: "It is a great blessing for our country that the young marshal came to give lectures. His Majesty the Emperor was greatly moved by this. Now that he heard that the young marshal has landed, his majesty immediately ordered his imperial driver to come to Ishiki to welcome the young marshal in person.
Kyoto, to teach our Japanese people the teachings of the Celestial Empire, so that we can abandon the barbarians and enter China."
Yun Zheng was very surprised. This Japanese guy is so well-behaved. He is even cuter than the little Pomeranian I raised at home. I have come to mine his silver mountain, whore his women, and dominate him.
He actually came all the way to greet me, fearing that I wouldn't be able to dig out enough of my territory, and he wouldn't be able to enjoy the whoring, and I wouldn't be able to dominate enough... How could there be such a wonderful person in the world?
Although Japan is a small country and a barbarian country, it is so determined to worship the Chinese Empire. Such an obedient little brother comes up to him and wag his tail and says: "Brother, accept me." This is really hard to refuse.
Yunzheng pondered: "The emperor will come to pick me up in person?"
Mr. Kawakami nodded repeatedly, smiling broadly: "Exactly, our Emperor has always admired China. China's civilization and education have always been like the mother of Japan. If it weren't for the contribution of China's education, wouldn't we still be cultivating slash-and-burn farming and surpassing those savages?
What kind of life is there? The Celestial Empire is to Japan what a loving mother is to a filial son. There is a Celestial Dynasty, and then there is a Japanese young marshal who is a literary hero of the Celestial Dynasty. He came to Japan to give lectures, which is of great significance. It is actually a grand event that Japan will remember forever. The Emperor of our country heard about it
The young marshal Hejia arrived, and he did not dare to delay, so he set off immediately. I am afraid that he has already walked halfway. I will arrive at Shijian tomorrow and welcome the young marshal in person."
Yunzheng glanced at Mr. Kawakami and said to himself that such a well-behaved little Japan would become such a bad learner in the future. It seems that "there will be no China after Yashan." In the eyes of the Japanese, the Chinese dynasty before Yashan must be better than the United States in the future.
In the eyes of the Japanese, I am a hundred times more noble, otherwise... Damn it, otherwise, could the northern Mandarin of the Kawakami clan be even more standard than I speak? (Note: The official language of Japan at this time is Chinese.
, and Chinese is the language of the aristocracy. If any aristocrat does not speak Chinese, he will definitely be despised and "more aristocratic", and he must be able to write Chinese characters, Chinese Fu, Tang poetry, Wei Ci... In short,
They have to learn everything that is popular in the Celestial Dynasty and become proficient in it. This is a symbol of superiority!") Yunzheng coughed lightly, pretending to have just discovered it, and said: "Hey, where is Prince Akimiya Kiyokouchi?
?Why don’t you see her?”
Mr. Kawakami quickly explained: "Ah, don't be surprised, young commander. His Royal Highness, the Prince, has received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor and needs to change clothes, bathe and fast immediately... something very happy has happened."
Yun Zheng said oh, but didn't ask anything. He was surprised by the Japanese a few times, and now he is thick-skinned. He probably planned to let her bathe and fast because he came with Akimiya Kiyoko.
Then he went to preside over the sacrifice to the gods. This matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t bother to ask.
Yunzheng sat down and continued to fool around with the Japanese ministers. After dinner, he was already tired from the journey and drove out a group of ministers who wanted to talk to him more so as to gain some nobility.
Go and take care of the silver mine problem yourself.
Yunzheng had already sent a group of professional prospectors to Shijian. This time he called them together and asked, and then he realized that the history he knew was true. There were indeed huge silver reserves in the Shijian area.
Moreover, the difficulty of mining was very low. Yun Zheng immediately decided to send people back to Yanjing to mobilize manpower to mine. Although the Japanese guys are so well-behaved, if they still use their people to dig other people's silver mines, they would be jealous.
, it's always a trouble, isn't it? Yunzheng doesn't like trouble, so he would rather find someone in Northern Xinjiang. Now there is no shortage of people in Northern Xinjiang. Shandong's new law is in full swing. Last month, the number of bankrupts fleeing to Northern Xinjiang reached 60,000 to 70,000.
It is easy to find a millionaire among these people to come to Japan to mine. They don’t even need to pay wages. They just need to ensure that they have food to eat. Moreover, Yunzheng has always been generous to the refugees. He plans to choose from every family.
A person with the best labor comes to mine, and he is given a full meal and basic food is distributed to his family. Although this may seem a bit dark at ordinary times, for the refugees who are about to starve to death, it is undoubtedly an encounter with a Bodhisattva.
After seeing this group of technicians, Ning Pengxuan hurried over and gave Yunzheng a piece of information. The intelligence came from Yiju, saying that prices in Goryeo were soaring, and more and more rebels were gathering to raise troops.
The Goryeo court has almost lost control and now has almost no ability to go out to suppress it. It can only guard a few big cities and important roads. The situation is quite critical. The area near Yiju where Xu Shaoyang is stationed is slightly calmer, but a few days ago
A rebel army also came and captured the surrounding counties, blocking the road from Yiju to Pyongyang. Xu Shaoyang made a prompt decision and sent troops to occupy several surrounding counties on the pretext of opening up contact with the Goryeo court.
He also stated that in order to keep the roads open, unless the Goryeo court could put down the rebellion, the Yun family army "had the obligation to defend the territorial integrity of friendly countries based on the principle of friendship and mutual assistance." The Goryeo court was too busy taking care of itself, how could it have time to recover the lost territory? Besides, "
"I would rather be with friends than domestic slaves", and naturally acquiesced in the behavior of the Yun family army. Now the message Xu Shaoyang sent to Yun Zheng was to ask Yun Zheng if he could continue to send troops to the surrounding areas and drive away the nearby rebels.
drive away
Yunzheng hurriedly took a look at the map, suddenly slapped his head, and burst out laughing. Yun Yi was confused. Could it be that the young marshal was fooled by the flattery of these little Japanese people? Why was he laughing so happily?
Yunzheng thought of the resource inspections of North Korea in later generations. The southern part of the Korean Peninsula is lacking in resources, but the northern part has some good resources that can be exploited. North Korea is relatively rich in mineral resources, with more than 300 types of minerals proven.
Among them, there are more than 200 kinds of useful minerals, graphite, and magnesite reserves are among the highest in the world. Iron ores and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, gold, silver, and non-metallic minerals such as coal, limestone, mica, asbestos, etc. are rich in reserves. Among them, Hamgyong is located in
The Musan Iron Mine in the China-North Korea border area in North Korea has proven reserves of more than 5 billion tons and a mineable amount of 3 billion tons.
There is nothing Yunzheng can do with those magnesite, aluminum, and zinc mines, but gold, silver, copper, and iron are all found in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. This is great news. However, Uiju is in the northwest corner of Goryeo, while Maoshan Iron Mine is in the farthest corner.
In the northeast corner, if you want to get the large iron ore there, you have to fully control the northern border of Goryeo. Then you can't just occupy the current North Pyongyang Province, but also open up and occupy Cijiang Province, Yanggang Province and North Hamgyong Province. It is a bit difficult.
Not too small anymore
However, if we really do this, there will be benefits. As long as we really do this, we will completely cut off the land connection between the Jurchens, Liao Kingdom and Goryeo. By then... Goryeo will have no support and can only be obedient.
The trouble is that if I send out a large number of troops, I am afraid that apart from the fact that the Jurchens will not care about this place for the time being and will not have much to say, neither the Liao Kingdom nor Goryeo will do anything. Well, Goryeo is now in embarrassment, so it will not be difficult for me to get them to agree.
, the one who can cause trouble, whether it is threatening or giving sweet dates, is probably the Liao Kingdom. This time, the Liao Kingdom has Yizhou as a point to trade directly with Bei Xinjiang. With the money lent to them by Bei Xinjiang, they can buy it.
With less daily necessities, the people of the Liao Kingdom restored some confidence in the court, and the war with the Jurchens was able to be stalemate. Although this was true to what Yunzheng had thought before, it also caused certain troubles for the current situation.
Since the country would not be beaten too badly by the Jurchens, it would naturally not allow the Yun family to occupy more and more territory in Goryeo.
Yunzheng thought for a moment, picked up a pen and paper, wrote two letters, handed them to Ning Pengxuan, and said: "One is for Inspector Xu, and the other is for Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao. Send someone immediately."
Send it over”
Ning Pengxuan nodded and left. Yun Yi asked: "Young Marshal, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Yun Zheng said: "Lianyi's letter said that the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo soldiers is getting lower and lower. Those so-called rebels are vulnerable to our Yingyang Guards, but their officers and soldiers are being pushed around by these rebels with wooden sticks."
, The new army we put in Yiju, you also know the level of training, the combat strength will be about 30% to 40% of the Eagle Yangwei after the change, you will never guess what the result will be."
Yun Yi became interested: "How powerful is it?"
Yun Zheng chuckled and said proudly: "Lian Yi mobilized one guard, 5,600 people, and drove a large rebel army everywhere. This rebel army defeated more than 30,000 Goryeo soldiers..."
"How many are there in the end?" Yun Yi couldn't help but ask.
"About more than 80,000 people... maybe 100,000, anyway, it's called 200,000." Yun Zheng laughed.
Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "Damn it, I still lost money. If I had known that these Korean sticks were just like paper, I didn't know that we really had a chance to fight them. I lost money, I lost money, I
You should still go to Goryeo to lead troops. Although the opponent is a little weaker, at least there is a chance to use the halberd, unlike here... God, I came to Japan to be a grandfather."
Yunzheng laughed: "It's not bad to be a grandpa. Well, wait, I have an idea." His eyes suddenly lit up.
"What do you think?" Yun Yi asked confused.
Yun Zheng said: "My letter just now was to ignore the pressure from all parties and expand eastward on the grounds that the war between Liao and Jurchen affected the trilateral trade. At the same time, I asked him to send a batch of property to Old Man Zheng of Goryeo.
, expressing support for them in suppressing bandits...Now that I think about it, we still have a way to win North Hamgyong Province."
Yun Yi opened his eyes wide: "Young Marshal, if you are not interested in talking and only half-talk, please tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"
