If you fall behind, you will be slaughtered. This is one of the most basic laws of the world's jungle. The Japanese country, a country that cannot even issue currency, is no different from a fish on the chopping board in Wan Lei's eyes. Now he wants to do it Yes, it’s just how to save trouble and kill with a knife,

Although Wan Lei has never been to the Japanese country and does not know the population of the Japanese country, according to his estimation, it will not exceed two million people. The sudden influx of tens of millions of copper coins will inevitably cause inflation and depreciate the value of the copper coins. What Lei provided them was Hongwu Tongbao, which was not circulated in Shuntian Mansion. This kind of money could only be released but not collected, and its value would depreciate faster.

In addition, after the establishment of Huayuan Company, it began to monopolize the trade of Japan. All exported goods were transported by Huayuan Company. They only accepted money when selling, not copper coins. Wan Lei also opened a back door for Huayuan Company to encourage They bought copper coins in the Ming Dynasty and resold them to the Japanese country.

At the same time, Wan Lei also ordered the Mint Bureau to mint Hongwu Tongbao in limited quantities to reduce the currency export to the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty was already in chaos, and a large amount of silver coins had been "plundered". The main battlefield of the currency war was It’s time to move to Japan,

When Japan was like the Ming Dynasty, its silver reserves were plundered, and the people were left with only a pile of severely depreciated copper coins. The entire country was impoverished and troubled internally and externally. When war came, Wan Lei didn't mind fanning the flames. Light a fire and let the Japanese country fall into civil strife again. When they are defeated, the army will press on the border.

Of course, the envoy from Japan didn't know what Wan Lei was up to, especially the fat man. When he saw Wan Lei readily agreeing to carry out the money transaction, he got a little carried away and began to push the envelope. He actually took up the idea of ​​North Korea. No, After talking about the money transaction, Fei Fu asked tentatively: "There have been frequent chaos in North Korea recently. I wonder what your plans are."

"North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. What plans can I have?" Wan Lei smiled calmly and did not express his position.

Wan Lei had known for a long time that Japan had always had territorial ambitions against Korea. Especially during the reign of Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan army attacked Japan twice, and Korea actively cooperated. This behavior seriously angered Japan. Later, when the Yuan army was defeated, Japan condoned it. Japanese pirates carried out retaliatory piracy attacks against North Korea,

Especially when the Japanese entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many of the defeated soldiers had no way out, so they went to sea to become pirates, plundering the coasts of Korea and the Ming Dynasty, and even once captured Tsushima Island as an outpost for the invasion of Korea. During the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty North Korea and North Korea are actively rectifying coastal defenses, and Japanese pirates have few opportunities to take advantage of them.

However, there has been turmoil in Korea recently, and the Ming Dynasty has too much time to take care of itself. Seeing this opportunity, the Japanese country began to expand its ambitions that had been in its heart for a long time.

"Most of the Korean citizens are remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. They have acted as an aide for many times. They not only followed the Yuan army across the sea to attack our country, but also sent troops to help the Yuan army many times to bring disaster to the Central Plains. Young Master, these ambitious people should be exterminated quickly," Fei Fu said. Wan Lei did not express his position, but spoke impassionedly, showing that he was different from North Korea.

"North Korea is heading to the northeast. The mountains are long and the rivers are far away. The gains of sending troops on expeditions outweigh the losses." Wan Lei still looked indifferent, but he felt sad in his heart and said secretly: "North Korean sticks are not good people, and you Japanese are not things. This I won’t get involved in the shitty thing about breeding dogs biting dogs.”

"Young Master cherishes the power of the people, he is truly a bodhisattva. It's just that the Korean people are unruly and stubborn, and leaving them here will definitely be a disaster," Fei Fu advised with some reluctance,

"North Korea is a bitter cold and remote place. There is no meat to eat. It is a pity to abandon it. It is really worthless." Wan Lei still shook his head. "If you want it, just send it to attack. Our Peking Army will never help North Korea."

"This..." Fei Fu had an embarrassed smile on his face, but he said hurriedly: "Our country has a feud with North Korea. We only send troops for revenge, but we don't dare to hope to seize North Korea's territory."

"Haha, you don't have to be self-effacing. The world is meant for those who can do it. As long as you have both virtue and ability, there is nothing wrong with occupying North Korea. When the time comes, you and I will draw the Yalu River as the boundary and we will always be a country of brothers. Then That's even better," Wan Lei said with a bold smile, but there was a sharp knife hidden in his smile.

"Young master is so benevolent and heroic, he can be called a saint of the kingdom of heaven," the fat man began to flatter him wildly, because he had already received the promise he wanted most.

In fact, when he sent out the mission, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had already made a clear decision with Hitomi. He originally wanted to join forces with the Peking Army to capture North Korea, and then increase the number of North Korea to five. Unexpectedly, Wan Lei actually He boldly expressed that he did not care about North Korea and let the Japanese occupy it. This made Fei Fu so happy that he could hardly find North Korea.

In the final analysis, the reason why Japan has territorial ambitions towards North Korea is not only because of its old grudge a hundred years ago, but also because it wants to use North Korea as a springboard to peek at the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains. Japan has longed for the prosperity of the Central Plains for a long time, and has followed suit since the Han Dynasty. They studied the advanced culture and technology of the Central Plains in detail. In the Tang Dynasty, they directly transformed the entire country into Tang Dynasty.

However, since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has been plagued by internal and external troubles, and was even ruled by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty for a time. The Han civilization was interrupted. When the Japanese country saw that the powerful Song Dynasty was "Huhua" by the barbarians, they couldn't help but have a trace of wishful thinking in their hearts: The barbarians can occupy the Central Plains, and I, the legitimate descendant of the Han and Tang Dynasties, can also occupy the Central Plains.

This kind of wishful thinking was manifested in a tribute. In the early years of Hongwu, the Japanese country sent envoys to the court. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know the customs of the Japanese country, so he asked: "What are the customs of your country?"

Unexpectedly, the envoy Tarima was well prepared. He straightened his neck and pouted his head and recited a poem in reply: "The country is better than the Central Plains country, the people are the same as the ancients, the clothes are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the rites and music of the Han monarchs and ministers, the silver urns store sake, and the gold knives and swords Plain scales, every year in February and March, peaches and plums come from Yangchun,"

Just reading this poem, Sima Zhao's heart is clear. The Japanese pirates, a bunch of clowns, dare to claim that their country is better than that of the Central Plains, and their people are the same as the ancients. Doesn't this mean that they have learned and inherited the cultural orthodoxy of the Han and Tang Dynasties? If they are a bunch of clowns, Clowns are the orthodox culture of Han and Tang Dynasties. Wouldn’t the mighty Ming Dynasty become Hu Hua’s “illegitimate son”?

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and immediately replied with a poem: The king is an unrighteous man and the people are thieves, disturbing the lives of living beings. Gods and ghosts are resentful. How can you know when you sit in the well looking at the sky? With your hair cut off and striped clothes, it is just a matter of convenience. The king and his ministers are barefoot and talking to frogs. , Si Zhi jumps over Liang Qian Tianxian,

The lyrics of this poem are not very elegant, but the image of the Japanese pirates is already vivid on the page. The poem rebukes the Japanese king for being immoral and the people are all thieves. It also mocks the king and ministers for their ugly appearance with shaved heads and bare feet, and talks like frogs. It sounds ugly, just like uncivilized barbarians,

It was precisely because of the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese country that angered Zhu Yuanzhang that the relationship between the two countries took a turn for the worse. If it were not for the fear of repeating the failure of the Yuan Dynasty to conquer the Japanese, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely send troops to kill these clowns. Now, the Japanese envoy is in front of Wan Lei. Their ambitions were exposed again. Not only was Wan Lei not angry, but he was also eager for the Japanese to cross the sea and attack the DPRK.

The Japanese invaded across the sea and helped massacre Bangzi. The Peking Army could just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Why not? The Japanese had just experienced war, and the people were poor and the country was in poverty. At this time, they were resorting to militancy, even if they were allowed to capture it. North Korea will also lose both sides. When the time comes, the Peking Army will be sent to beat the drowned dog. Not only will North Korea be easy to gain, but it will also be easy to attack the Japanese country.

Wan Lei had already made up his mind to kill with a borrowed knife and burn bridges. Seeing that all the things that needed to be discussed had been discussed, he directly asked the writers below to draw up the relevant peace treaty. When the Japanese envoys came to see Wan Lei, they responded to Wan Lei's requests and kept flattering him. When other people present at the meeting saw this, they were even more disdainful towards them.

After the peace treaty was signed, the meeting was over. Wan Lei was too lazy to see the guests off in person. He just asked Jingzhongwei to take them to the inn to rest. As soon as these envoys left, Tie Xuan, who was present at the meeting, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "These Japanese people are really... The thief’s nature will not change,”

"It's just that these guys ask for money as soon as they meet, and then they ask for land. They are really greedy," Zhao Hongru, who was sitting next to him, also said dissatisfiedly,

"If they want money, we will give them money; if they want land, we will give them land. However, they will soon understand that our money and land are not so easy to get. If they want to be greedy for this small advantage, I will pay for the lost money in the future," Wan Lei sneered,

"My dear nephew, it doesn't matter if you give them money. Anyway, we can make a profit by exchanging copper coins for silver. But this country of Korea cannot be occupied by the Japanese country. If these clowns become our neighbors, we will never have peace again." day," Tie Xuan said,

"Don't worry, the Korean peninsula is there, even if it's all for them, they won't be able to eat it," Wan Lei shrugged.

"We are not afraid of 10,000, we are just afraid of what may happen. If North Korea surrenders to Japan and the two countries merge, it will be even more detrimental to our Peking Army," Tie Xuan also said,

"There is no need to worry about this. North Korea and the Japanese state are separated by a vast ocean. They can't get along just because they want to. Even if North Korea really surrenders to the Japanese state, it doesn't matter. We send out the navy to blockade the coast of North Korea. We can also block the Japanese who enter North Korea. The army is trapped to death. I wish the Japanese country could send more troops to the court. The Japanese country is so injured that our Peiping army can take advantage of it."

"What my nephew means is that we not only want Korea, but also Japan," Tie Xuan was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Wan Lei also had ambitions for Japan.

"Haha, it's too early to say this now, let's take a look first and then talk," Wan Lei laughed. Head-to-head confrontation was not his style. Before the duel, he would first find a way to make the opponent stumble, and then kill him while he was sick. , this is his favorite trick,

In fact, the Japanese country is far away overseas and has an extreme shortage of materials. The only thing that Wan Lei likes is silver. The Japanese country has several large silver mines, and the annual output is expected to be no less than one million taels. Now it can be exchanged for some commodities and copper coins. Silver, this is pretty good for Wan Lei,
