Chapter 66                                                             �

The Japanese shogunate suddenly sent someone over, which was also an unexpected good news for Zhou Mengchen.

In any case, the Ashikaga family is still the leader of Japan. No matter how long the Ashikaga family can maintain it. After reaching some tacit understanding with the Ashikaga family, the situation in Kyushu can last for about ten years.

Someone may have to say, what should I do in ten years?

Cold salad.

It seems that from a historical perspective, it seems that the impact of decades and hundreds of years can be judged at once. But for Zhou Mengchen, he felt more and more that he could judge the situation in ten years, whether domestic or foreign. This is already his limit.

More is simply unjustified.

Zhou Mengchen judged that within ten years, the core areas of Japan would not be unified, and naturally it would not be possible to go south to interfere with the Jiuzhou region. However, within the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable that the Yan Party would fall, but it was just a matter of time. Zhou Mengchen could also judge some measures after Xu Jie took office. What he could not judge was the situation after Xu Jie stepped down.

In fact, being able to judge the situation in the next ten years is already an outstanding politician.

Zhou Mengchen also asked Monk Jueqing to talk about Buddhism with this idea.

Zhou Mengchen did not study much about Buddhism, but was just against the study of mind and adhered to the practice of knowing oneself and being aware of the enemy. After reading some, Zhou Mengchen himself felt that it was shallow. He did not want to talk too much, but was just a stepping stone.

Many times, when you come up, you will talk about the topic. Some are too eager and have no way to judge the other person’s mind. Therefore, when the boss talks, they usually find the best introduction to something, test each other, and feel the other person’s attitude.

If you feel that the two sides really cannot reach an agreement, then you won’t discuss it.

After all, it’s okay if you don’t say something, but once you say it, you can only choose between enemies and friends. It’s not good. It takes time to tear your face.

Therefore, it is not the insider who always feels that many people talk about clouds and mist, and they are not clear.

After just a while, Zhou Mengchen had not yet tested the other party's attitude, and Monk Jueqing couldn't stand it anymore. He had to get into the main topic a little rude and said, "Today I am visiting the Lord, I am here on behalf of the general. Please give me the opportunity to explain in the next step."

Zhou Mengchen was speechless.

He could see that Monk Jueqing could not catch up with the Buddhist topic that Zhou Mengchen had thrown out.

This is no wonder.

In the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism was a prosperous era. After all, Buddhist concepts had penetrated into Confucianism. There were many famous monks in the world, and there were almost no difference between monks and scholars. In this way, Buddhism was prosperous.

But this kind of prosperity is not sure whether it is good or bad to the Ming Dynasty.

In Japan, Buddhism was also considered prosperous. However, on a completely different path of prosperity from the Ming Dynasty Buddhism, actively participated in political affairs, married and had children, and even launched Ikki, almost establishing a land Buddhist country in Japan.

How much can they explain and carry forward Buddhist scriptures?

Moreover, Chinese Buddhism is already a localized Buddhism in China, and Japanese Buddhism is also a localized Buddhism in Japan. Many places cannot be said to be together. Not to mention craftsmanship, this monk Jueqing is essentially a political monk. He has been studying Buddhist scriptures and has not studied the situation in Japan for a long time.

Although Zhou Mengchen did not study Buddhism much, his opponents had much research. If a person like Wang Ji was ordained and became a monk, he would immediately become a famous monk in the Ming Dynasty. In order to deal with Wang Ji, Zhou Mengchen studied Buddhism, and in his status, he found all the first-class monks in the world. After discussing with these people, Zhou Mengchen had a deep understanding of Buddhism far surpassed the fake monks on the other side.

In addition, Zhou Mengchen is in an active position. He can deal with everything in front of him with a very relaxed attitude, but Jueqing is different. He is under psychological pressure when facing Zhou Mengchen. He can only exert three or four points if he learns ten points. Jueqing only feels that he can't keep one sentence or every sentence. In the end, it's better to talk about the topic directly.

Zhou Mengchen said leisurely: "General Ashikaga, what are your thoughts?"

Monk Jueqing took a deep breath and said, "Sir, the general wants to know why the general came to Japan?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "I thought it was very clear. Why did the monk think I came from?"

Monk Jueqing said, "I only wish that the adults will be consistent in their hearts."

Zhou Mengchen said, "What if it doesn't?"

Monk Jueqing gritted his teeth and said, "There are 30 million people in Japan. They must work together to come to the west to prevent humiliation, so that the adults know that even if Japan is a small country, it should not be ignored."

Zhou Mengchen just looked at Monk Jueqing coldly and didn't say anything.

But he heard Monk Qing’s words, and felt a special pleasure. He especially remembered the harm caused to China by the Japanese in later generations. If possible, Zhou Mengchen actually didn’t mind pushing the destruction of Japan.

But Zhou Mengchen is very clear that war is a major issue for the country, and we cannot raise troops because of the preferences of the superiors. The timing is wrong and there is not enough preparation. Even if Zhou Mengchen has many ideas, he can only endure it.

This does not prevent him from giving Japanese diplomats a warning.

Zhou Mengchen just said nothing, with no expression on his face. However, Monk Jueqing's cheeks were bulging and he must be gritting his teeth. Now it was the twelfth lunar month, but it seemed to be hot and his head was covered with sweat. Zhou Mengchen could see even more that although Jueqing was sitting, the muscles on his legs were different.

It seems that the whole person is in a state of rushing to slap at any time.

Zhou Mengchen was not worried, he was tough. Even if Zhou Mengchen didn't care about his own safety, the guards around Zhou Mengchen would not care. There were always several guards hiding around him. No matter what Monk Jueqing did, Zhou Mengchen could deal with it.

Moreover, Zhou Mengchen didn't think that Monk Jueqing didn't know.

I just don't mind using my own life to prove the Japanese will to resist.

Zhou Mengchen sighed silently in his heart: "Every nation has its own hero in a critical moment, but it's a pity that his hero and my enemy." If Zhou Mengchen had already prepared to destroy Japan, he would never allow Monk Jueqing to leave Hirado alive.

But now everything is not ready. Of course, we have to use other means.

Zhou Mengchen suddenly smiled and said, "I represent the court. How can I say and act inconsistent?"

When Monk Jueqing heard Zhou Mengchen say this, he felt that the tense string in his heart suddenly loosens and said, "Sir, merciful."

This also means that the shogunate recognizes reality. It is impossible to recognize the new order of Jiuzhou created by Zhou Mengchen. After all, the form is better than that of people. Now I just hope that the Ming Dynasty will stop.

Zhou Mengchen changed his words and said, "However, one thing is to be said before. The distinction between China and the barbarians is the great righteousness of the world, and it must not be neglected. This is the premise of everything."

Monk Jueqing didn't understand what Zhou Mengchen meant for a while. He asked carefully: "What is the meaning of the great man? What is the power of the sage?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Everyone who obeys the Celestial Empire and the Celestial Empire's grammar is all Chinese, just like the Dynasty-Finance, and is a small Chinese. Anyone who disobeys the Celestial Empire and establishes grammar and regards himself as one, does not know that the sky is high and the earth is rich, and is traitorous. Don't know who Japan is?"

Zhou Mengchen was in charge of overseas tribute affairs. After putting a lot of effort into this matter, he found one more thing, that is, although there are many problems in the tribute system and many things that need to be transformed, there are not any unprofitable places.

But the tribute system itself is a civilization system.

No matter how many people in later generations belittle them, the tribute system is a system centered on China and radiating four directions, and a system that can compete with the Western treaty system. It needs to be transformed and should not be given up.

Anyone who says give up is a fool.

But how to transform it, this is also a big problem.

To transform the tribute system into a colonial and occupation system, and to survive with force, it means to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons. What Zhou Mengchen thought of was a system with a spiritual core, extended outwardly with China as the core, and all countries united around the Celestial Dynasty and followed the Celestial Dynasty's strategy.

The first thing Zhou Mengchen thought of was NATO and Warsaw Pact.

Although it is impossible to transform into two systems now, it does not prevent Zhou Mengchen from learning the experience of later generations. First, we must determine the spiritual core.
