Cao Wei was already crazy about poverty and would never let go of any opportunity to make money.

Zhao Songguo would not complain that his country had too little money.

In this case, the two countries also have the motivation to send troops.

"I have long heard that the Japanese country is rich in gold and silver, but I did not expect that this would lead to a joint crusade by the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu."

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, he looked at Fan Zeng with stern eyes, and asked: "Father, can I, Ming, also take a share of the pie?"

Cao Cao was crazy about money, and Zhu Di was not much better than him. After all, due to lack of money, the merger of the Ming and Qi states did not go smoothly.

Zhu Tianpeng had long wanted to entrust the State of Qi to Zhu Di. However, considering that the political system of the State of Qi was completely different from that of the Ming State, he had not yet completed the handover.

After Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, in order to quickly quell Xue Ju's rebellion and win over the hearts of the generals, he followed the example of the Qin Dynasty and established a pension land.

The pension system of the Ming Dynasty was only a low-amount pension, but if there were too many casualties, it would also be an extremely huge number.

Qi State does not have a pension system, and once it is merged into the Ming State, soldiers will naturally enjoy the pension system. After all, people in a country cannot be treated differently, right?

In the Central Plains War, the Qi army suffered a lot of casualties in order to support the Ming army, and the Ming soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties.

If it were just the pension for soldiers of one country, the Ming Dynasty could barely afford it, but if the two countries came together, they would not be able to get it out even if the Ming Dynasty's treasury was emptied.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Di has been reluctant to completely merge Qi and Ming because he really can't come up with the pension money.

After that, Zhu Di will carry out disarmament and vigorously develop internal affairs. He also hopes to recover the wounds of the war as soon as possible and pay back the pensions owed to the soldiers, and then the two countries will formally merge into one country.

Therefore, after learning that the Wei and Song Dynasties sent troops to defeat the Japanese together with Qin and Wu because of the wealth of the Japanese islands, Zhu Di also came up with the idea of ​​​​defeating the Japanese together.

After hearing what Zhu Di said, Fan Zeng fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said: "The four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, and Wu will definitely send troops across the sea to attack the Japanese country in order to avenge the people who died along the coast. And I, the Ming Dynasty, died in the Japanese pirates."

There are many common people who have been killed by the butcher's knife. It is of course their duty to avenge the common people, and they have no reason to refuse."

Zhu Di suddenly smiled: "Okay, send an envoy to Beihai immediately, and tell me that Ming Dynasty will also send troops together."

"No, we, the Ming Dynasty, don't have to send troops together with the Four Kingdoms. After the four kingdoms allied forces defeat the Japanese navy, we, the Ming Dynasty, can just send troops on our own. Why bother with the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, and Wu? If we really join in, we might be tricked."

"What Yafu said makes sense."

On the other side, Uesugi Kenshin was more decisive this time and returned very quickly. After she returned to Japan, it was not yet time for the Four Kingdoms to send troops, but it was not far away, so she had to race against time.

After Uesugi Kenshin returned to Japan, without even having time to return to his home country, he immediately conveyed the news that Daqin was mobilizing an army to cross the sea to conquer Japan, and couriered it as quickly as possible to Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other major forces.

leaders, and form an alliance to discuss how to deal with it.

Uesugi Kenshin had not returned to his country for a long time. The leaders of the major forces in the Japanese country thought that he had died in the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, he came back alive. Most people were naturally disappointed.

But after reading Uesugi Kenshin's letter, the leaders were in disbelief at first, and then were horrified.

They were all defeated by the princes of the Central Plains, and they clearly knew how powerful the princes of the Central Plains were.
