Chongzhen thought that these intellectuals who read the books of sages in the Ming Dynasty were somewhat brainwashed by Confucius's benevolence and forgiveness. In terms of the outside world, even if they are only half of the country now, these people still put on the airs of the Celestial Kingdom, disdaining those strategies that cannot be put on the table, and still using the upright sage way to engage in diplomacy. Little did they know that the sage way was the most disadvantage in international affairs. When the United States in later generations destroyed Iraq and dismembered Yugoslavia, did he talk about the sage way? Iraq did not have any weapons of mass destruction at all. The J-7 imported from China cannot be counted, but the US intelligence agency claimed to have mastered "false" intelligence, and the United States directly destroyed Iraq on this ground.

What is puzzled is that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty adhere to the saints' ways for international affairs, but they dared to use any tricks when fighting in the nest. In the end, a strange phenomenon was formed: they were as warm as spring for enemies in the international world, but they were as cruel as winter for their colleagues. Chongzhen sighed secretly that political wisdom was used in fighting in the nest, so what's the ability! To be honest, Shi Kefa was a kind person, but he was not good at fighting in the nest, but this kind of man was definitely not a political person.

Seeing that the discussion was almost done, Chongzhen said:

"Just now, my dear friends have discussed it, and I am very pleased when I heard it. Especially Zheng Sen's plan was good, so I wanted to follow this plan. As for external publicity, it must be flexible when it should be flexible. Last time, I have discussed external strategies. The high-profile of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness must not be dismissed, but the specific strategies cannot be too restricted. The Spanish slaughtered Chinese twice in Luzon for 36 years. This time, the Japanese deliberately persecuted Chinese. Half of the Chinese in Manila died under the Japanese army. May I ask, did the Japanese talk about benevolence and righteousness? The Japanese also claim to respect Confucius and Mencius, and such a beastly act can be done!

Humph! I have recorded this account, and sooner or later I will have to settle it with the Japanese. This matter cannot be over! I want to send envoys to Japan and Manila to protest against the Japanese slaughtering the Chinese and demand the punishment of the murderer. Of course, the envoys sent to Japan must also follow the strategy of "reasonable, beneficial, and honest" to try to lead the disaster to the east and lead the Japanese to America first. My Ming Dynasty needs time to pacify Liaodong and unify the whole country. We must temporarily plead with the Japanese for a false conspiracy. This time we can even bring a prisoner. If we have a good talk, we can even repatriate the yongan from the temple. But we don’t know who can be on the mission?"

Shi Kefa was also indescribable resentment about the Japanese massacre of Chinese people. He then remembered someone and recommended:

"I have reported to the emperor that I have recommended Zuo Maodi to Japan. Zuo Maodi is very kind and loyal, and will never fall into the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

Chongzhen thought about Zuo Maodi as a character. In history, Zuo Maodi was one of the few people who did not follow the crowd and slaughter the enemy. In the end, he refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and calmly went to the officialdom. This man was hard enough to deal with the Japanese and sent a stubborn person to go, well, that's not bad!

Wang Youqing had his own considerations and stood up and said:

"It is certainly good to report to the emperor that Zuo Maodi's mission is on the verge of mission, but diplomatic matters should not only be tit-for-tat, but also be flexible. Therefore, I suggest that Ruan Dacheng be sent as the deputy envoy, and the two of them can cooperate with each other, which may be easy."

Chongzhen laughed and said:

"I heard that Ruan Dacheng had a 'territorial association'. According to the 'territorial association', even Japan originated from China. It is logically the Ming Dynasty. Wang Aiqing, does the 'territorial association' have such a statement?"

Wang Youqing replied:

"Yes, there is indeed such a saying. The 'Territory Society' was verified. During the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, Xu Fu brought five hundred boys and girls to search for immortals on the sea. As a result, he searched for it and found the Japanese island, and then took root there and reproduced. Today's Japan was today. But even if this matter was true, Xu Fu's descendants did not recognize this, there was no way. This alone seemed to be insufficient to merge Japan to the Ming Dynasty. I just said that, the Japanese are extremely hateful. If they conquer Japan in the future and merged Japan to the Ming Dynasty, I think it is also the emperor's kindness. This Japanese must be educated by sages before they can get rid of the barbaric spirit."

Chongzhen had no good impression of the Japanese. Even if Japan cried and shouted to merge into the Ming Dynasty, he still had to consider it carefully. These bastards really didn't evolve well. I was really unsure whether they could instill in etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame.

But this is Zuo Maodi and Ruan Dacheng combination. Zuo Maodi has a straight temper and does not speak in a word. Although Ruan Dacheng speaks smoothly, he is a more radical character in his bones. These two people cannot be steamed or cooked, which is enough for the Japanese to drink a pot.

Chongzhen said lightly:

"Shi Aiqing, then that's it. I sent Zuo Maodi as the chief envoy and Ruan Dacheng as the deputy envoy to Japan. Wang Aiqing, about the diplomatic strategies to go to Japan, you will be the one who presided over the planning. Then you will be able to share the same interests with Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

After discussing this matter, Chongzhen left only the Zheng father and son and Wang Youqing, and Liu Jiyun naturally still accompanied him. Chongzhen was not going to let Shi Kefa participate in some activities that conflicted with the sages, so even Fang Yizhi and Zhang Huangyan were sent away. Wang Chengen was precious time and did not have to participate in these activities, so he did whatever he should do.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know what the emperor was going to do. It was said that Zheng Sen would do the escort at sea. If not, Zheng Hongkui had already healed. There was no problem with escort or naval battle. His iron ship business was about to open. The emperor should have sent him some tricks.

Chongzhen smiled and said:

"Do you, Zheng Aiqing, you and your son, know what to do?"

Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said:

"I am stupid. Please make it clear to you!"

Chongzhen looked at Zheng Sen, and wanted to take Zheng Sen, so he asked:

"Zheng Sen, what about you? Guess what it is for?"

Zheng Sen's eyes lit up and replied:

"Wei Chen is brave. Wei Chen guessed whether we would ambush the Japanese transport fleet to Manila? Since the Japanese took Manila, they must transport materials and at the same time they would transport a large number of Japanese to settle down. Only in this way can they occupy Luzon for a long time. Therefore, wei Chen guessed that the emperor might have any arrangements?"

Zheng Sen is really a clever person. As the saying goes, blinking, Zheng Sen is such a classmate. Chongzhen leaned on the chair, but unexpectedly, this leaning pressed on the wound, and a burst of pain came. Chongzhen grinned in pain and almost screamed. He said that he could not be proud, and he would be so proud that he would be so obedient. Look, the scar had not healed yet! But no matter how painful it was, he had to praise Zheng Sen:

"You guessed right. I remember that both of you father and son mentioned that after the Japanese occupied Manila, they would immigrate to Luzon immediately, and also mentioned the suggestion of ambushing at sea. I will leave you behind. It's for this matter. Wang Aiqing, tell me."

Of course, Wang Youqing knew that the emperor had some things that were inconvenient to say, and someone had to do the dirty work. Wang Youqing was an open-minded person. As long as the goal was just, he could do whatever he could do. The introduction now said:

"When we play Go, we have an amazing move called 'robbery'. Why is it called robbery? My experience is that this move is very unreasonable and means a bit pestering. In the end, we take the territory that does not belong to me as ourselves. Haha, so it is called 'robbery'. Of course, playing Go is just a talk on paper. Only after robbing seriously can Chairman Zheng be called a domineering world."

Isn't that true! Zheng Zhilong is a giant bandit. He started his business by robbing at sea in his early years. Later, he also studied different things, and was both an official, a bandit, and a businessman. The robbery was only temporarily washed his hands after becoming the chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. However, Zheng Zhilong did not completely put down this craft. He was just not happy to lose his pirate foundation for his son! However, although Wang Youqing said this, Zheng Zhilong still had to defend himself:

"Mr. Wang praised it! Zheng did kill the rich and help the poor at sea in the past. Now he is an official in the court and takes it as his mission to develop the Ming Dynasty's industry and commerce. Haha, there is no need for Zheng to take action regarding the interception of the Japanese fleet at sea. Now he has all kinds of sharp weapons, and the dog is more familiar with me, so he can arrange it as much as possible."

Chongzhen smiled and said:

"Zheng Aiqing said it right. You are better than you. If you have a son, I want to congratulate Zheng Aiqing on it! Wang Aiqing, just forget it if you joke, you can continue talking about it, and talk about the serious business."

Wang Youqing put away his smile and said solemnly:

"If the Japanese want to occupy Luzon for a long time, they will inevitably rely on the shipping line for maritime transportation to transport materials and immigration. Although the Ming Dynasty protested against the Japanese slaughtering Chinese, it is not the time to declare war with them. Since the Ming Dynasty cannot openly intercept the Japanese's sea transportation, we can only hope for Lord Zheng's subordinates. If Lord Zheng's subordinates return to their old business and rob the Japanese at sea, the court will not only not prohibit it, but will also provide all conveniences. When there is no need to rob the Japanese in the future, Lord Zheng and his old subordinates will of course become members of the Ming Navy. What does Lord Zheng think?"

Zheng Zhilong thought that the pirate career had come to an end, but he didn't expect the Japanese to provide him with another opportunity! Haha, I just complained that Zheng Sen had destroyed his foundation. Now it seems that not only did not destroy it, but the foundation has become more stable. The Ming Dynasty navy guarded the island, and his subordinates could use it with confidence. As for pirates, they always only care about the right to use the island, not the ownership.

In addition, I used to be a pirate in hiding it, but this time I was robbed under the order. Zheng Zhilong thought about it and felt as happy as he felt. He smiled and said:

"Please rest assured! Japan goes to Luzon, there are only a few routes. My old subordinates know everything. Since they are robbing according to the order, Sen'er should arrange it. Let me write a letter to Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai, asking them to cooperate with Sen'er."

When Chongzhen heard Zheng Zhilong even said "robbing under the order". This guy really knows how to gild himself. The saying "robbing under the order" even the original sin of being a pirate in the past was washed away. This guy is so terrible! Chongzhen admired and was funny, and he had to express his opinion:

"Zheng Aiqing, that's great! The Japanese owed us Chinese blood debts not a little bit. You are just robbing them, it's a bargain. The Japanese owed too much Chinese, and it's very legitimate to rob them. Isn't Zheng Aiqing going to build a ship? Zheng Aiqing might as well use it to build a ship from the robbery."

Chongzhen felt a little like he thought, the Japanese in the future owe more, should they pay back the principal and interest at one time?

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen quickly gave a big gift:

"I obey the order! Thank you for your kindness!"

"I obey the order!"
Chapter completed!
