Chapter 464: Zhu Yuanzhang: Do They Dare? Yan Changqing: Don’T They Dare? [Please Subscribe, Please
After Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, became quiet again.
Yan Changqing on the podium continued to speak:
"The second disadvantage of [directly drying seawater to form salt], or the [glass focused seawater sun-salting method] also has the same shortcomings."
"That's——Japanese pirates!!!"
"Because whether it is [directly drying seawater to form salt] or [glazed glass focused seawater sun-drying method], all sea salt must be close to the seaside!!!"
"And the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty are often intruded by Japanese pirates!!!"
"If during the process of drying sea salt, Japanese pirates suddenly appear and invade the border."
"Then not only will the dried sea salt be robbed, but even the seaside salt drying fields and glass factories may be destroyed!!!"
"After all, most of the materials used in the seaside salt drying fields and glass factories are glass, and glass is fragile, so it is not difficult for Japanese pirates to destroy it."
"Once the glass is damaged, it will take a certain amount of time and energy to re-fire or rearrange it."
"Moreover, sea salt is extremely profitable, not inferior to gold and silver. Once they get it once, the Japanese pirates will inevitably invade the border more frequently in the future, attack the Ming Dynasty's salt drying field and Liulichang, and even more crazily plunder the Ming Dynasty's wealth!!!"
"By then, the losses caused by Japanese pirates to Daming's sea salt production will inevitably be far greater than the losses caused by weather factors to Daming's sea salt production!!!"
"If the Japanese pirate problem is not solved, then I am afraid that the sea salt production along the coast of Ming Dynasty will not be stable."
“It’s even possible that tens of millions of jins of salt will be harvested every day in the Ming Dynasty, and seven to eight million jins will be robbed by Japanese pirates in the end.”
"Then, my Ming Dynasty made wedding clothes for the Japanese pirates for nothing..."
At the end of the sentence, Yan Changqing shook his head pretending to be regretful.
Regardless of whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, after hearing the last two words spoken by Yan Changqing, their eyes widened and they all shouted angrily:
"They dare?!!"
On the podium, Yan Changqing said calmly:
"In the first year of Hongwu (1368), the Ming Dynasty sent letters of credence to the Japanese, intending to invite the Japanese to join in the suppression of the bandits, but the Japanese ignored them.
"In the first month of the second year of Hongwu (1369), the Japanese invaded the East Sea Bin County of Koushan and took away the men and women."
“In February of the same year, the Ming Dynasty sent seven envoys to Japan, five of them were killed and two were detained.
"In June of the third year of Hongwu (1370), the Japanese invaded Shandong and plundered the people living near the sea in Wen, Taiwan, and Mingzhou, and then invaded the coastal counties of Fujian."
"In June of the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), the Japanese invaded Jiaozhou and plundered the coastal people."
"In March of the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), the Japanese invaders attacked Kanpu in Haiyan and killed and plundered the people."
"In June of the same year, Youmei invaded Ningde County in Fuzhou."
“In July of the same year, the Japanese invaders invaded Funing County in Fuzhou, killing and plundering more than 350 residents, burning more than a thousand huts and houses, and plundering 250 dan of official grain.
"In June of the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), the Japanese invaders killed many coastal residents in Jimo Zhucheng, Laiyang and other counties."
"In June of the seventh year of Hongwu (1374), Japanese pirates invaded Binhai County."
“In November of the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), the coastal residents of Chaozhou were repeatedly plundered by Japanese barbarians.
"In June of the thirteenth year of Hongwu (1380), the Japanese bandits robbed Guangzhou Prefecture (bhef), Dongguan and other counties."
"In August of the same year, the Japanese invaded Guangdong East Sea Feng County, killing and plundering the officials and people."
Every time Yan Changqing said something, the faces of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes became more and more ugly.
At the end of the story, the faces of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes turned dark.
Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes with faint eyes, and asked again with a hint of mockery in the corner of his mouth:
"Don't they dare?!!"
This time, both Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes were speechless.
Don’t Japanese pirates dare?!!
In the year when the Ming Dynasty was just founded, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a letter of credence to the Japanese country and asked it to work with the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
However, the Japanese pirates pretended to be confused, saying that the Japanese pirates were Jiuzhou pirates, and ignored the credentials issued by the Ming Dynasty.
From the second year of Hongwu to the present fourteenth year of Hongwu, there has never been a year in which Japanese pirates did not come to Ming Dynasty to fight against the autumn wind and plunder!!!
This is the number of times Japanese pirates invaded and harassed the seaside before the Ming Dynasty set up salt drying fields.
If the Ming Dynasty set up a salt drying field on the beach, the huge profits brought by sea salt would be huge.
Maybe by then the Japanese pirates will come to invade and harass us once a month, or even come to invade and harass us every three to five times. That is also very possible!!!
If things turn out to be like that, then it will become a luxury to hope that the salt drying fields of the Ming Dynasty can dry salt safely and safely.
"Whether they dare or they dare not, His Majesty and Your Highnesses should know it very well!!!"
"Or, do you and your Highnesses want to make a bet?!!"
"Bet those Japanese pirates won't dare invade the salt drying fields on the Daming Sea!"
"Bet those Japanese pirates won't snatch the sea salt that Ming Dynasty worked so hard to dry!!"
"Bet those Japanese pirates won't destroy the glass magnifying glass and glass magnifying glass cover that Ming Dynasty finally made!!!"
"Of course, since it's a bet, there must be a stake."
"And the bet is the salt drying field and glazed factory just mentioned, which are the sea salt and glazed products of the Ming Dynasty."
"Once the bet is wrong, the sea salt and colored glaze of the Ming Dynasty will most likely belong to the Japanese pirates!!!"
"So, Your Majesty and Your Highnesses want to make a bet?!!"
Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, with a mocking look on his face.
Hearing Yan Changqing's taunt, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all had a lot of curse words to say.
【What a bet!!!】
【His mother-in-law, Yan Changqing, we would have forgotten if we didn’t tell her!!!】
[How dare you throw away our credentials, kill the envoys who detained us, and even rob our subjects!!!!]
[Not even Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and even Beiyuan Wangting had the courage to do this!!!]
[Now you actually want to rob our future salt drying field and glazed factory?!!]
[If I don’t kill you, do you really think we are easy to mess with?!!]
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang not only wanted to kill the Japanese pirates who frequently came to invade and harass the border, but he even wanted to kill the Japanese pirates on the Japanese islands!!!
In fact, as early as the second year of Hongwu, the Japanese country killed five Ming envoys and detained the remaining two Ming envoys for three months.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was severely slapped in the face at that time, wanted to send troops to conquer Japan.
After all, he fought his way from the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
During this process, no one dared to humiliate him like this, whether it was the late Yuan princes like Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, or the remaining Northern Yuan forces who had fled to Mobei.
And the Japanese country was such a small country, even inferior to the princes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but it actually dared to humiliate him like that!!!
If this had been on land, Zhu Yuanzhang would have gone there with his sword and conquered it himself according to his violent temper!!!
However, there were hundreds of miles of sea between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, so it was not easy for the Ming Dynasty to conquer Japan.
Moreover, at the beginning of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan also dispatched troops to conquer Japan, but unfortunately encountered typhoons twice and the entire army was wiped out!!!
With the lessons learned from the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had to think carefully about the Eastern Conquest of Japan.
In addition, in addition to the fact that it was the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had just driven Bei Yuan out of the Central Plains, and the remaining forces of Bei Yuan had not yet been completely eliminated.
Similarly, compared with the Eastern Conquest of the Japanese Kingdom, the threat to Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Dynasty from the remaining Northern Yuan forces was obviously far greater than that of the Japanese Kingdom far away in the East.
Relatively speaking, it is more important to completely eliminate the threat and influence of the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
At the same time, since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wars have continued throughout the world. Coupled with the impact of various natural disasters, people all over the world have been displaced and countless fields have become deserted.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and the most important task was to allow the people of the Ming Dynasty to recuperate, restore their vitality, and develop agricultural production.
If we continue to wage war against the Japanese country far away in the East at this time and send troops for an expedition, it will be tantamount to waging war.
After all, Japan is far away overseas and not on land.
If the Japanese country was on land, then the people of the Ming Dynasty would have gritted their teeth, stood shoulder to shoulder with everyone, and spent a year and a half to kill them, and then they would have been able to live a peaceful life.
The people of Ming Dynasty could still accept such a result.
But if Japan is far overseas, then the war to conquer Japan will definitely not end in a short time.
The longer the war drags on, the greater the complaints from the people who long for peace and stability!!!
At that time, the world will inevitably be filled with public dissatisfaction, and even the newly founded Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil again!!!
Finally, the advice of the civil servants and generals at that time was added.
In the end, for one reason or another, Zhu Yuanzhang had to hold his nose and bear this humiliation.
However, now that Yan Changqing has brought it up again, and the Japanese pirates are very likely to take advantage of him, he will have an idea of tens of billions of kilograms of salt and colored glaze in the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Suddenly, old and new hatreds, shame and humiliation all came to Zhu Yuanzhang's mind!!!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were cold and he uttered two words in a cold tone:
"Butcher!!!"
