The rumors about the Admiral Maritime Minister Wei are probably true.

One is true, it is true that the identity of the Wei eunuch and the maritime minister is true, and the rest should be attributed to fake from the official level.

If the eunuchs of this dynasty need their resumes for the Organization Department to call for publicity, the resumes of the Wei eunuchs may only be a few lines.

It's just that Eunuch Wei is so happy and loves to fake, so if the rumors are organized in words, Eunuch Wei's resume must be at least a few hundred words.

Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The reason is that there is a difference between the inside and the outside.

Shen Yourong and Shi Dezheng did not have the ability to investigate the details of Eunuch Wei, so they could only judge based on rumors.

It is rumored that Eunuch Wei is a popular person around the Son of Heaven and the concubine, so there is nothing to doubt about what this Eunuch Wei did in Jiangnan and His Majesty's use of domestic slaves today.

Wei Liangchen dressed people with ceremonies, did what he liked, did not fight and did not know each other, and a letter revealed his heart, so that Shen Shen, who had devoted his life to the conquest of Japan, could not be moved.

Compared with Wenchen, the generals' perception of the inner court was taken from their origins.

That is, if the person promoted is a civil servant, their attitude towards the inner court will be the same as that of a civil servant.

However, if there is no promotion and reuse of Wenchen, purely by personal efforts, then their attitude towards the inner court may be the same as that of Wenchen.

Wenchen's attitude towards the inner court is not monolithic, there have been a number of big guns in this dynasty, which big big

Without it, it is pure profit.

Therefore, Shen Yourong only then ascended to the General Military Mansion.

Although he is a general, there is no deputy commander-in-chief in Zhejiang, so in terms of Zhejiang's land and water soldiers, he Shen is the deputy commander-in-chief. He and Shi Dezheng have been colleagues for many years, and the two have served in Fujian for many years, not only have a broad vision and are good at naval warfare, but also have been influenced by Jin Xuezeng, the hardliner of Japan and the governor of Fujian, among the civil ministers, so even if they are transferred to Zhejiang, they will never forget the expedition to Japan.

In the past, there was no chance, but now, this opportunity has come.

Shi Dezheng knew Shen Yourong's thoughts, and there were maritime merchants and overseas people who visited Fujian and Zhejiang many times about the Japanese invasion of Ryukyu and their desire to get involved in the East.

It can be said that the Ming army has always attached great importance to Japan's intelligence work.

When the expeditionary force was formed, Jin Xuezeng, the governor of Fujian, attached great importance to intelligence work, and he ordered a staff member named Liu Si to disguise himself as a businessman to go to Japan to spy on the Japanese secret service, draw up maps, investigate the Japanese customs, coastal military equipment, and formulate an attack plan. During this period, most of the sea ships coming and going to Japan had Ming army spies hidden inside, and many of them were even Jinyi guards.

This is undoubtedly supported by Wanli, otherwise, Jinyiwei would not have acted without authorization in Fujian and Zhejiang. In the War of Aid Korea and Anti-Japanese War, a large number of Dongchang and Jinyiwei fans were active on the Korean Peninsula and even in Japan itself.

Attacking from the north to the south, advancing by land and water, and eliminating the troubles in one fell swoop, I am afraid it is also Wanli's ambition.

However, everything was in order in Fujian and Zhejiang, and when the imperial court was only owed an edict, Xu Mou, a Han people in Japan, returned from smuggling back and brought back the news of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death.

As a result, the expedition to Japan came to naught.

This made the Fujian and Zhejiang officials and generals who were preparing for the expeditionary force at that time very disappointed and helpless.

After more than ten years, a eunuch from the inner court suddenly wrote that the expedition to Japan could be restarted, which must have been an extremely shocking and heartwarming thing for Shi Dezheng and Shen Yourong.

You must know that behind the eunuch is the emperor.

Shen Yourong handed the letter written to him by Eunuch Wei to Shi Dezheng.

After reading it, Shi Dezheng was silent for a moment, and asked Shen Yourong: "Is this matter feasible?" ”

Shen Yourong did not hesitate, and affirmed: "It should be feasible." In the thirty-second year of Wanli, Japan's Yamada Nagamasa once led a ship to invade Dongfan, but the natives of Dongfan were defeated. Earlier, some fishermen reported that this year the Japanese sent boats to the Ryukyus again to try to go east again, but the result was still called to repel. From this point of view, the strength of the Japanese people is not as good as it was back then. ”

Shi Dezheng nodded, since the death of Toyotomi, Japan has experienced civil strife in the east and west, and its national strength should not be as good as that of Toyotomi. At that time, Governor Jin suggested that the imperial court take advantage of the civil strife in Japan to send troops to seize it, which was actually a good opportunity, but it was a pity that the princes of the court were unwilling to raise swords and soldiers again, and missed the opportunity. At present, Japan has built a new shogunate, its national strength has shrunk, and it is unwilling to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which shows its cowardice.

Shen Yourong continued: "If we can unite, get the support of Your Majesty, gather my Zhejiang and his Wei eunuch navy, and then Fujian to help, there are hundreds of ships, and tens of thousands of soldiers, even if you can't go on an expedition to Japan, it will be easy to collect Dongfan and Ryukyu." I have thought twice about this matter, because Japan's communication with the outside world is all on the sea, and if the Ryukyus and Dongfan are in the hands of our Ming Dynasty, Japan's contact with the outside world will be cut off. Even if there is no war between the two countries, trade can be presided over by our Ming Dynasty, and its benefits are not small. ”

The benefits of sea trade, Shi Dezheng didn't know, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Li Dan will hear your words and will send a guest." ”

Shen Yourong laughed, then shook his head and said: "Although Li Dan is my Han Chinese, he has left my country and is no longer a Chinese, and he is at best a coward, short-sighted, sitting on the sea channel, but he only knows yellow and white things, and has not been able to accumulate strength, and if this continues, the Japanese shogunate will not tolerate him." ”

"One mountain can't tolerate two tigers. Li Dan's name does not live up to the truth, but Wang Zhi was a character back then, but it's a pity..."Shi Dezheng sighed with emotion.

"Do you want to reply to Eunuch Wei?" Shen Yourong asked.

Shi Dezheng was a little embarrassed: "We have always dealt with the high school Cheng, and the high school is not allowed to do this, how can it be done." Moreover, this matter is very important, and you and I can't decide, but I'm afraid that the few people in the township will nod their heads. ”

Shi Dezheng said that the few people in the township refer to the former chief assistant Shen Cheng and other important people of the Zhejiang Party who returned to his hometown, and most of the forces of maritime trade and maritime commerce in Fujian and Zhejiang are controlled by the Zhejiang Party, and many people in the party are actually maritime merchants. Shen has always been able to serve as the first assistant back then, and the maritime merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang have donated a lot of gold and silver to open up the relationship between the inner court.

To put it mildly, although he Shi Dezheng is the chief soldier of Zhejiang, if there is no approval from the people in the Zhejiang Party, I am afraid that he will not be able to mobilize Zhejiang Jiuwei. You must know that many of the generals in the nine coastal guards were bought or fed by maritime merchants with silver.

Outsiders don't know the situation in Zhejiang, and Shen Yourong doesn't know. Dinghaiwei Zhongzuo pretended to be a Japanese raider to attack and kill the Wei eunuch built a special maritime zone, and he knew this very clearly. At the same time, he also knew why the maritime merchants instructed Ding Haiwei to do this, the reason was that the maritime merchants thought that the Wei eunuch's admiral maritime yamen would harm their good deeds.

Shen Yourong said: "As long as Zhentai comes forward, this matter can be done." On the high school side, in fact, there is no need for us to come forward to persuade him. ”

Shi Dezheng was surprised: "Oh, why? ”

"A little eunuch knows that there are huge profits in maritime affairs, and he tries his best to get involved, and he wants to unite with our Zhejiang army. In this case, why not let him use it, can't we use him in turn? Shen Yourong smiled slightly.

Shi Dezheng came to his senses and laughed.

Those who are strong and strong can be the son of heaven, and they can also speak and count.
