Xiao Ruxun's court preached an idea, that is, the idea of continuous progress and change, and some people sniffed out opportunities from it, they found that the new emperor had a tendency to change the law, liked new things, and they found the way to advance.

Others, on the other hand, smelled the threat, and they sensed that Xiao Ruxun seemed to be planning to do something to shake their roots.

The cabinet supports Xiao Ruxun as always, and some people privately compare Wang Xijue and Li Tingji to the papier-mâché three pavilion elders of the previous dynasty, but no one dares to say it clearly, because the person sitting on the throne can really kill people.

With the passage of time, Xiao Ruxun has clearly realized the stability of the Jingshi, and the space that can provide him with hands-off operations is getting bigger and bigger, and some actions that have been planned for a long time can also be started.

The posture has been almost done, and the distinction is almost differentiated, some people are becoming more and more anxious to ask Xiao Ruxun to order the draft, this is no longer an ordinary book, but a political signal, in Xiao Ruxun's view, these anxious leaders are all ill-intentioned.

Although he is ready to do it, he must always make thorough preparations, Zhou Yao has submitted six plans to Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun has just determined that the sixth plan is feasible and has been approved, and now he is waiting for the preparations to be completed, and he can't startle the snake at this time.

Originally, Xiao Ruxun also planned to put a smoke bomb to relax them and pretend to be drafted, but at this time, Yang Caiyun was pregnant.

It was that night of boundless spring, a shot into the soul, pregnant, Yang Caiyun is twenty-six years old this year, it is the best time for his health, Xiao Ruxun was overjoyed and ordered the imperial doctor to do his best to protect Yang Caiyun's fetus.

The news of the queen's pregnancy came out, and the people who asked for the draft on the table also stopped, at this time the queen was pregnant, and no one was embarrassed to ask for the emperor's draft, and they thought that the queen's pregnancy would make the emperor's mind a little scattered, and the mood would be a little better, and the oppression on them would be a little lighter.

Many people died down, and a few people were left alone, and the recital was directly pressed down by the cabinet.

However, this is only the beginning.

It was at this stall that Wu Weizhong came back.

Wu Weizhong, the chief soldier of Iwami Town, who was guarding the Wa Kingdom, returned.

He also brought back a million taels of silver.

In the twenty-first year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun finished the Korean War, and divided the Japanese kingdom in half, opposing the east and west, and opposing each other with the forces of Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari in the east against the Tokugawa Ieyasu forces in the west.

In order to protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom, at the suggestion of Xiao Ruxun, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys on both sides of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideji to supervise the matters of indemnity, and as a deterrent, it also occupied Iwami Silver Mountain and set up Iwami Town.

Of course, the best candidate to guard Iwami Town is Wu Weizhong, the successor of Qi Jiguang's mantle, Wu Weizhong's prestige in the Wa Kingdom is also a very good condition, and he is sent to garrison to ensure that neither the Toyotomi side nor the Tokugawa side has any courage to make a move against Iwami Ginshan.

Of course, Xiao Ruxun had a secret talk with Wu Weizhong for a period of time before leaving, telling Wu Weizhong to find a way to provoke the contradiction between Toyotomi's side and Tokugawa's side, so that they could have small-scale and controllable military friction, but it was not the kind of all-out decisive battle, so that they would continue to consume their strength little by little.

Of course, they can't be allowed to fight a decisive battle, once a decisive battle starts, we must immediately send troops to stop it, let them negotiate peace, Toyotomi side is weak, Toyotomi side is weak, Tokugawa side is weak, help Tokugawa side, maintain a balance.

Of course, Toyotomi and Tokugawa are not fools, in addition to the blood feud, they also know that the power of the Ming Dynasty is an unstable factor, and they are also worried that they will fight again with the Ming Dynasty, so they have also reined in and worked hard to develop their own strength.

When Xiao Ruxun was in Burma, the merchant ships in the South Seas often brought news of the Japanese merchant ships, and it is said that most of them were to buy military supplies, firearms, knives and guns, as well as to attract investment, and they were really working hard to develop themselves.

So Xiao Ruxun secretly instructed the sailors to dress up as pirate ships, and when they encountered Japanese merchant ships, they went up to do it, sinking and robbing them in different ways, all in all, Xiao Ruxun did not allow them to develop obscenely.

Both the Tokugawa side and the Toyotomi side suffered heavy losses during this period, but they continued to work hard, not being discouraged no matter how many ships were sunk, and later developed to the point where the armed forces escorted the ships.

But it didn't work, their ships were small and light, they couldn't carry the guns at all, and the big guns didn't have any firepower, even the firepower of the pirates, and this situation continued until they spent a lot of money to buy the Furlong machine equipment on the ship.

But the Ming Dynasty still spared no effort to suppress them.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Ruxun overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established the Great Qin, that the forces of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideji began to move, and Wu Weizhong also got the news, and even got the recruitment order of Shen Zheng, who was in a hurry to go to the hospital, but at that time, Wu Weizhong had already obtained Xiao Ruxun's letter first.

He chose Xiao Ruxun.

It's just that he didn't expect Xiao Ruxun to be the emperor, and when Xiao Ruxun called the emperor and recruited him back, he was still a little cautious.

"Rucheng, long time no see."

Xiao Ruxun treated Wu Weizhong very kindly, which made Wu Weizhong relax a little, but he still reported to Xiao Ruxun in the way of a courtier, told him what he had done in the Wa Kingdom, and asked Xiao Ruxun what to do next.

"You mean, after learning of our civil strife, both sides of the Japanese kingdom began to engage a little uncontrollably?"

Xiao Ruxun frowned.

"Yes, the Toyotomi side and the Tokugawa side fought once in September last year, and again in November, both of which were more than 10,000 people, and I sent people to mediate, but they refused, continued to fight, and even sent people to monitor the movements of Iwami Town.

Our troops and horses were only 8,000 at most, and in recent years, some personnel have been reduced, and the army has been transferred, and there are less than 5,000 at the moment. ”

Wu Weizhong informed Xiao Ruxun of the information.

"It seems that there has been a period of good development, so I have the confidence again, seeing that we are powerless to intervene, the courage has become bigger, in fact, I divided the country into two earlier is just an expedient measure, I wanted to swallow them at the time, but the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time did not allow it, so I made this decision.

Now, in fact, it is not time, and there is really nothing to ask for on that small island, but the location is good, the resources are okay, and the population is large, so it is of course a good thing if such a large population can be used by me.

In this way, Rucheng, when you go back, I will allocate you 10,000 soldiers and horses, you bring them back to continue to deter them, and send troops to fight when necessary, tell them that the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the Great Qin is still there, treat them as always, and be honest with me. ”

Wu Weizhong immediately said that he knew and would do what Xiao Ruxun said.

Subsequently, Xiao Ruxun announced the reward for Wu Weizhong.

"You have been guarding the country for six years, diligently, getting millions of silver for the country, not lacking a penny, the previous Ming will not give you a reward, I will give, come to someone, and announce the decree."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Wu Weizhong with a smile and ordered Li Sheng, the great eunuch beside him, to announce the decree.

Wu Weizhong was very surprised to hear that Xiao Ruxun named him the Marquis of Yiwu, the general of the Dragon and Tiger, and rewarded him with money and a house, and a warm current flowed in his heart for no reason, and he suddenly felt that his hard work in the past six years had been recognized as he deserved.

It's worth it, it's really worth it.
