It is really difficult to develop the economy in the Japanese country, because there are many people and little land, and no matter how well it is done, there is no way to avoid disasters when they come.

In ancient times, there was no big logistics, and the Wa country could not implement a two-sided export economy, so staying on the Wa Island was a proper little suffering, and the persecution of various disasters could only cry silently.

The insightful people of the Japanese people had long believed that the mainland was the best way out, but the attempts of their predecessors were unsuccessful, and by the time of the Edo shogunate, they had to close the country and gradually distance themselves from the mainland.

Nowadays, don't look at the friendship between the Edo shogunate and the two China, what uncles and nephews are close to each other, among the eight small followers in China, it has been confirmed as a "country that does not conquer", which means that as long as the eight small followers do not die by themselves, China will not be able to conquer.

Why does the southeastern country have a garrison fleet in the Ryukyus, nominally to prevent piracy, but in fact it is looking at the Wa State, the eight small follower countries are unique to the Wa State This treatment, it is really enough to look down on the Wa State.

After Yang Tiansheng finished the meal with Bao Ke Zhengzhi, he said goodbye and left, leaving Bao Ke Masazhi to sit in the seat, and finally sighed for a long time!

In his opinion, there are three strategies for the outside world, and the best strategy is to attack the mainland, but this is impossible.

The next policy is to completely lock the country, but the country is short of materials, don't say anything, just say that the four treasures of the study, not even a good brush, because you need to use rabbit hair and wolf hair, God is pitiful, how can there be so much hair. In the case of papermaking, soon the trees in the Wa Kingdom were cut down, and there was ink making, and there was not so much fuel, as for the inkstone, the best was the Duan inkstone, and the Wa people did not have such a good stone.

Therefore, the middle strategy is to do business with the Ming people, fortunately, the Ming people are not interested in the land of the Japanese country, and they do not like to spread religion like the red hairy fan, so it is better to maintain the status quo and trade with the Ming people!

The next day, Yang Tiansheng, on behalf of the Ming army, formally proposed that the troops would return within this week, and the Japanese people had to be coy, pretending to stay, and seeing that the Ming people were resolute, the Tokugawa family was giving Cheng Yi 300,000 silver dollars to say goodbye to his good uncle.

After all, the relationship between the two countries cannot be restored to the period of the previous general Jiaguang, Yan Changwu and Jiaguang are of the same generation and have a close relationship, and now that the Ming army has left, Tokugawa Ietsuna is greatly relieved!

The Ming army moved quickly, and all of them withdrew within a week, and the Japanese state closed its doors, locked the country, and was at ease.

……

Let's go back to the north of the Ming Dynasty, the general Gan Hui of the Ming Dynasty conquest was ordered by the imperial court to lead 200,000 soldiers and civilians out of the fortress and build a city on the land of Monan in order to gain a foothold.

With enough supplies and materials, the Chinese people bear the blood of infrastructure madness, and the intelligence is perfect, and the locations they choose are all good places with water, wood and stones, and soon the foundation of the six cities was laid, and the army and civilians worked together to build the city, and the wall was getting higher and higher day by day.

Once it is built, it can be attacked and retreated, and the Mongols will have huge trouble.

When winter comes, they have walls to block the wind and enjoy heating in warm houses, while outside the city it is freezing and white-haired and windy, and the livestock are dead!

Even if they don't die, all the livestock lose their fat, and when the next spring flowers bloom, the livestock on the grassland need to eat grass, but the Ming army is out to sweep, and their horses are fed with grain and can't lose fat, and a ridiculous thing will happen: the Han people who can't ride horses ride horses will beat the people on horseback to the ground.

As soon as they thought of this, the Mongols of Monan were trembling.

If that's the case, you'll be laughing and generous!

The Khalkha Mongolian tribes in Mobei, where they had high hopes, were blocked by each other due to this year's horse plague, and they did not dare to gather the horse team and could not go south.

Only to save themselves, the Mongol tribes in southern Mo fought hard, they attacked with cavalry or brigades, or invaded by squads, and they did everything they could, so they must interrupt the process of building the Ming Kingdom.

They attacked the construction site from time to time, invading along the Great Wall, so that inside and outside the Great Wall, wolf smoke was everywhere, and the traces of Mongolian rangers even appeared outside Beijing!

The entire north of the Ming Dynasty and the north of the Yellow River have entered a state of first-class combat readiness, the city gate is closed during the day, and passers-by carry ordnance to the street, regardless of men and women, all for military training!

The Mongols went crazy to save themselves, but they found that times had changed!

In the past, the Ming people, who were afraid of the enemy like tigers and did not dare to fight in the field, would fight when they encountered the enemy, and they also had a weapon to restrain the cavalry--- musket!

The Ming people gathered to fight, and when they met the Mongols, the muskets bombarded them and made them ecstatic, and the Ming people even dared to shoot the boys, as for the bows and arrows of the Mongols, they could not match the rifling of the Ming people!

The rifling point bullet has a long range, great power, and it is not dead or injured when it hits, and what is even more terrifying is that more than half of the wounded died later, and now even the Mongolians know that if they are shot and hit the body, they can only ask the gods and Buddhas to bless them, and hit the limbs, then quickly end themselves and cut it, otherwise the wound will be inflamed and the body will be harmed.

The Mongolian people did not know that in order to ensure the use of muskets in the north, the major military enterprises in the Ming and southeastern countries worked overtime to frantically manufacture guns and bullets.

The spirit of infrastructure madness is reflected in many aspects, Nanjing decided to have a gun for outsiders, men and women over 15 years old along the Great Wall have guns, and the Yellow River used to be adult men who would use guns, all equipped with muskets!

It was completed better than planned, and there was more than one gun per capita, not only the soldiers added their own equipment, but many ordinary people also bought muskets, and a strong man had a long gun on his shoulder and two short guns on his waist, which was a common thing!

Men and women over the age of 15 along the Great Wall have guns, and the government triumphantly reports that even elementary school students can shoot, and ten-year-old elementary school students carry muskets higher than them to school!

North of the Yellow River, not only adult men can use guns, but many women can shoot guns.

Fight the enemy!

Many officers in the Ming army were retired veterans of the southeast, and they were re-recruited to return to their home country to participate in the war, and their fighting will was extremely strong, and they also became the backbone of the Ming army.

And the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were driven by them, and they were also enthusiastic, and when they saw the enemy's cavalry, they fought hard, so that they could not return.

The officers and men on the front line are working hard, and the rulers in the rear have made sure that rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished, that there is money to reward the army, and that there are arms and materials for the army to use, and that the soldiers have no worries about the future and earnestly fulfill their mission of serving as soldiers, eating food and selling their lives.

The Ming army is hard stubble, even the people are not easy to bully, the southeast king of the Ming Kingdom issued an edict to fully arm the people, he declared: "Lone will never allow the people to be arbitrarily slaughtered by the enemy...... If one (enemy) person wins a city, and a city of 10,000 people is easily breached, the civil and military officials defending the city will be beheaded, the clan will be exiled, and the honor of more than three generations of the family will be stripped away! ”

He is a generation of heroes, dare to do what he says, and the families of civil and military officials in various places along the Great Wall have been ordered to settle down north of the Yellow River, and once the officials surrender, they will immediately attack their families!

Ordinary people have a system of joint sitting, and officials are no exception.

In other words, when the former Ming civil officials were huge, the emperor dared to openly detain the family members of the officials, and he was already drowned by the saliva of the civil officials.

But in today's dynasty, under Yan Changwu's order, the officials all obeyed their orders, and no one dared to object.

In such a situation, front-line civilian officers are more active than officers in preparing for war to protect their lives and the safety of their families!
