The main body of the Korean nation has long been formed, the language and customs are self-contained, and the life of the young lady's body and maid can be described as a 10,000-year-old subordinate country.

Xu Hao passed through Jihua in Liaodong, and North Korea was a very important link, and many things had to be greatly assisted by the North Korean government.

At present, both the Joseon State and the Jurchens have complained to the imperial court, accusing the other party of breaking into their own territory, burning, looting, and driving away the people, but at the same time, both sides have the custom of treating the Han people as slaves.

Xu Hao shook his head slightly, his own family is also a group of slaves, no wonder the imperial court is somewhat indifferent to the matter of the Han people being plundered into serfs, but the local government has warned and negotiated with both sides, North Korea is more active in the return of the Han people, and the Jurchens are playing the piano to the cow, and there are a large number of remnants in the northern courtyard in Liaodong and other places, and the order from the Ming Dynasty has no effect. In the era when democracy has not awakened, it is useless to talk about anything.

still remembers the promise made to Li Meng at the beginning, Xu Hao frowned, there are too many things to do, and now he doesn't even know the actual situation in Liaodong.

One is the information of the Wa Kingdom, which contains many accounts of the captured Wa Kou, and one or two of these Wa Kou must be Han Chinese who have settled in the Wa State for many years, and play the role of guides.

It is precisely because of the tandem of these traitors that the Korean Ming pirates can be in the same stream with the Japanese pirates, which is the real Japanese people, and when the Ming Dynasty was in the middle and late stages of the Japanese Rebellion, almost all of them were Ming people who pretended to be Japanese people.

Of course, not all traitors, some Han people came by boat, immediately found a way to go ashore to inform the government, it is said that during the Three Great Expeditions, Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted to attack Korea and the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Han and Han merchants who lived in the Wa Kingdom as officials were sent back to the Ming Dynasty through various channels without fear of life and death, so they were able to prepare the Wanli Emperor and his ministers in advance.

This forbidden sea is really forbidden to pirates, and the people are cut off from the way to survive, how can they not force the people to rebel?

Xu Hao pondered how to completely open the sea ban, which is surprisingly consistent between China and North Korea, probably because of its ability to guarantee self-sufficiency, and a little trouble from the external environment. The monarch tends to rule the people behind closed doors.

"Asking for trouble." Xu Hao felt that he had gotten into the horns of the bull, and he was not the savior, why did he put shackles on himself, he was not obliged to be responsible for the Ming Dynasty, and even the emperor and ministers did not approve of it, what the hell?

That being said, Xu Hao knew that he couldn't turn a blind eye, otherwise what would he do by collecting the things in his hand?

It says that King Onaga is on the throne, and he doesn't know who this guy is, but he knows that the shogun Ashikaga family, and he didn't play Sengoku games when he was in school. The current Wa Kingdom is the prelude to the Warring States Period.

From time to time, should the ancestors of the monkeys be killed early? Or did he bury Nurhachi's ancestors alive?

The cranky Xu Hao was very satisfied with the information in his hand, it turned out that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the second generation heir of the Ashikaga family, married a woman of the Hino family, according to the theory that the wealth is not three generations, the Ashikaga family at this time was in its strongest period.

Thinking back then, one of the charges in Hu Weiyong's case was collusion with Ashikaga Yoshigin and attempting to rebel, Xu Hao felt some credibility.

One of the reasons is that the first time he came to the court, he offended Comrade Lao Zhu, and he called himself the general of Zhengyi, Gen Yoshimitsu, with what sunrise country is the son of heaven on the national book.

Xu Hao was a little surprised, he had heard of the Tale of Genji back then. It seems that Genji is derived from the lineage of the Japanese emperor, and the surname of Genji is given by the descendants, and I mean the same origin, just like Li Shimin has to regard Lao Tzu as his ancestor. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to show his aristocratic blood.

In fact, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was given the name by the emperor, and the lord of the Wa Kingdom had no choice, and the ministers dared to be disobedient under duress? Xu Hao's guess was right, after giving the name Genji, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had the possibility of replacing him.

The second reason is that the retainers believed that the lord of the Wakoku country, which was guarded by the Ashikaga family, was a rebellious minister and a thief. He did not recognize the legitimacy of the envoys of the Japanese state, and believed that Huailiang, the lord of the Japanese state of the Southern Dynasty, who was in the line of the 'Great Jue system', was orthodox.

At that time, the northern and southern dynasties of the Wa Kingdom were opposed, and the Ming court understood this and gave a conclusion. Because the Southern Dynasty held the so-called three artifacts given by the Han Dynasty, the iron sword, bronze mirror and Peiyu, it was clear at a glance that it was worn by the nobles of the Han Dynasty. However, the golden seal engraved with the inscription of 'King Han and the Slave King' symbolizing the identity given by Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was lost, and it took 1,700 years to be buried underground before it regained sight.

The third reason is that the appearance of the Japanese is due to the two expeditions of the Yuan Dynasty, the slaughtered Tsushima Island and some daimyo in the south commanded the samurai to cross the sea in order to retaliate, and North Korea was also retaliated against as an assistant state of the Yuan Dynasty.

The above three reasons are enough to prompt Comrade Lao Zhu to turn away the envoys of the Japanese country, how can Ashikaga Yoshimitsu be willing? He loved everything about Han civilization, and the Golden Pavilion Temple where he lived collected a lot of calligraphy, paintings, and antique jade artifacts of Han celebrities, and dreamed of paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty so that he could carry out trade.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is a generation of heroes, and with his extremely popular minister, he should have the intention of usurping the throne and standing on his own, so it is very likely that he and Hu Weiyong hit it off.

Now Ashikaga Yoshimitsu deceived the three artifacts of the Southern Dynasty five years ago, and after he succeeded, he turned his face and did not recognize people, which can be regarded as nominally unifying the Wa Kingdom.

Xu Hao said with a smile: "It is really strange to become a monk three years ago. ”

Now that the imperial court has sent officials to envoy Korea has returned, and Xu Hao's vigorous insistence can be regarded as a preliminary agreement to send troops to exterminate the Tsushima Japanese invaders, but the problem is that there is no specific time and detailed rules for sending troops, and Comrade Lao Zhu and Comrade Li Chenggui are about to fail, and then a civil war will break out between the two countries in order to compete for the throne, so it can be seen that North Korea's desire to capture Tsushima Island will definitely be frustrated, and it will not be possible for at least a few years.

Xu Hao fell into deep thought, and it seemed that he had to intervene in the internal affairs of North Korea and attack Tsushima Island as soon as possible with North Korean soldiers as the main force, so as to deter the Ashikaga family through this move?

It doesn't seem to be of much use, but you have to try it, the real rebellion of the Japanese is after his death, and what he has to do now is to teach the Japanese country a hard lesson, so that the other party knows the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

It is very convenient for North Korea and the Japanese to trade close to each other, and it is unreliable to invade and conquer Shenma, and making money is the king, Xu Hao opened the transaction directory obtained from the Korean government.

It was easy to collect this, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked casually, and some North Korean officials hurriedly got started and offered it, and it seemed that they were the henchmen of Li Chenggui's second son.

A good comprador class can be used, Xu Hao pondered this matter, the Japanese exported mink rice, lacquerware, hemp, and Confucian classics, etc., while Japan exported copper, tin, sulfur, and herbs. Xu Hao's eyelids jumped when he saw the rice, and then he sighed softly, knowing that it was too late at this time, he muttered to himself: "Da-hemp? ”

What if this thing is made into tobacco? No, once it comes out, sooner or later, it will return to the Ming Dynasty and destroy the next generation, but if you don't do this thing that lacks virtue and smokes, it will have to be invented by the British devils sooner or later, oh, the British play opium.

Xu Hao casually twisted up a copper coin of the Japanese Kingdom, there are money holes on both sides of the round, in the middle is a statue of Maitreya Buddha who stands out to be fat, the carving is very good and very attached to the fine character of the Japanese people, the katana is also quite haode, similar to jishu is derived from the Tang Dynasty, but now the Ming Dynasty is gradually lost, you have to find a way to inquire about the jishu can also import a large number of Japanese knives, and then treat the body of others in the way of others.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and several brothers have become monks, which shows that Buddhism has developed and prospered in the Wa Kingdom, but the Korean State will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country because of Comrade Zhu's respect for Confucianism.

These two countries are not short of gold and silver, Xu Hao is a little envious, North Korea lacks copper, it stands to reason that it should not be! I remember that there were copper mines in North Korea, and countless copper and iron were needed to mint artillery and coins.

Korea and the Ming Dynasty were mainly exporting raw materials to the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for everything from scissors, tweezers to paper umbrellas, saddles, porcelain, pen and ink, paper inkstones, etc., anyway, everything was included, and what they most desired was astronomy and geography and other related books and saltpeter gunpowder for military use, and they wanted everything.

Xu Hao's expression was a little wrong, his angry eyes were very frightening, it turned out that the most annoying thing was that North Korea became a shameful second-way dealer because of the convenience of being a vassal country, and used the envoys to obtain a large amount of raw silk to be resold to the Japanese pavilion in North Korea every year, 100 catties of raw silk is worth 30 taels of silver, and it is sold to 130 taels of silver to the Japanese dignitaries, at least 3,000 catties a year, what 300,000 taels of silver?

Xu Hao completely went berserk, and now stood in the study and scolded the North Koreans for being really greedy, and they were embarrassed? That's all Lao Tzu's money.

It was as if his heart had been slashed, which completely made Xu Hao's little sympathy for the North Korean people disappear immediately.

Xu Hao, who repeatedly muttered shamelessly, hurriedly turned out the relevant information about the Ryukyus, and sure enough, the Ryukyu Kingdom was also a second-class dealer. North Korea monopolizes trade here, Ryukyu monopolizes trade there, and the Wa Kingdom is full of daimyo who divide various places, and it happens that one south and one north do not interfere with each other and sell their own goods, and this is just the statistics recorded by the government, what about smuggling? Xu Hao felt that his heart was dripping blood.

The tributary system of the Celestial Empire is too bad, and it has caused a serious loss of state-owned assets due to the cheapening of countries and private merchants, otherwise how much would the tax increase in a year?

The Ming Dynasty's tax from silver money was only three and a half million taels a year, which was less than a fraction of that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Comrade Lao Zhu has a way to drastically reduce the number of officials and reduce the number of officials, so that the million-strong army does not have to spend a penny on their own farming.

It just so happened that at this moment, Zhu Qiaoqiao twisted his waist and walked in, Xu Hao, who was angry, didn't say a word, stepped forward and pressed his sister-in-law to the chair, lifted the gauze skirt and slapped her ass hard.

"Oops!" Zhu Qiaoqiao's eyes were like silk, and she turned her head angrily, "Sweat evil you?" What are you doing when you hit me? ”

"Do what?" Xu Hao stretched out his hand to grope underneath, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu wants to do the right thing for heaven." ”

"Come on, will the old lady be afraid that you won't succeed?" Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was interested, was not to be outdone. (To be continued......)
