Domineering Daming

Chapter 1096 A proud smile

As soon as Tanaka Ichiro saw it, he immediately turned sideways, and said, "Dazhengsuo."

This woman is very enchanting, with an intoxicating style when she walks around, with a delicate figure, graceful and charming, with a fragrance that makes people's blood spurt, she came to sit next to Tanaka Ichiro, and poured herself a cup of tea .

The two samurai who reported to Ichiro Tanaka bowed and retreated quietly.

The woman in red took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Ichiro, how are things going?"

Ichiro Tanaka bowed all the time, with a lewd look in his eyes, he lowered his head and said: "Dazhengsuo, Akito has already taken the trap. I believe that for this mine, Akito will put enough pressure on the Tokugawa family. When Shiro Zhen will have enough time to deal with it, and the battle of Shimabara will not end so early."

The woman drank tea gracefully, put down the teacup, and for a while, said with extremely calm eyes: "The Ming people have annexed the surrounding area, and they are eyeing our Japanese kingdom. The shogunate is worried about this, and wants to solve Jiuguo Island as soon as possible, and then... It will attack us."

The woman speaks very slowly, giving people a sense of calmness and confidence that has seen through everything.

Tanaka Ichiro knelt there, leaned over, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "Then, will Akito be fooled? They will immediately intervene in the Shimabara chaos and force the shogunate to stop?"

The woman took out a mirror from behind, put it on the table, looked at herself in the mirror, gently stroked her hair, her side face was smooth, her white neck was like frost, and said: "Ming people regard you as a lobbyist of the shogunate, you know If you make tricks, you will definitely become angry from embarrassment. Whether they send troops directly or support Shiro Tokisada, it will be a great pressure on the shogunate. At that time, we can take a breath, and maybe we can give the Tokugawa family a surprise hit."

Wa Kingdom now has many vassal states, and there are more families in the vassal states. Various forces are intertwined, and the situation is quite complicated. Tokugawa Iemitsu is also able to stabilize the Wa Kingdom. Although his control is stronger than Tokugawa Ieyasu, he has a heart Unpredictable people still abound, and it is difficult to eradicate them for a while.

Ichiro Tanaka lowered his head, looked at the woman's plump thighs, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and immediately said: "Yes. I plan to see that Fu Tao again tomorrow, and give him 20 silver, so that he can feel the urgency of the shogunate."

The woman glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and said, "No need, we have to leave quickly, the people from the shogunate must be arriving soon, we can't meet them."

Ichiro Tanaka was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "Dazhengsuo, won't everything we did before be exposed?"

The woman put away the mirror, looked at Ichiro Tanaka and said: "No, no matter who comes, they will act according to our plan. If they are exposed, it will not benefit the shogunate at all, and it will also anger Mingren."

Ichiro Tanaka frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I understand. If it is exposed, Ming people will think that the shogunate is not sincere, and when they are angry, they may do more drastic things, which is not good for the shogunate."

The woman looked at Tanaka Ichiro, a charming smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said, "Ichiro, we should get closer."

Tanaka Ichiro suddenly withdrew his gaze from searching the woman's legs, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, mother."

The woman's smile disappeared, she got up, and went back to her room again.

Tanaka Ichiro looked at her back, no lust, but seriousness, vigilance and fear.

Daming is really too big, there are too many places where the sun doesn't shine, so many unspeakable things happen every day.

However, this year, Daming's sunshine is so strong that no one can hide.

It was too hot, a little too hot.Even if you just stand on the road, you can feel that your feet are about to burn, scorching hot, and your whole body is next to the stove, so hot that your lungs will burn if you take a breath.

Zhu Xu was in the class room of the cabinet hall, his head, body, and palms were covered with sweat, and he still buried himself in the notebook.

Not far in front of him, stood a pretty woman with a somewhat cold demeanor, Su Yinyin.

It took Zhu Xu a while to catch his breath, put down the notebook, looked at Su Yinyin and said with a smile, "Have you seen it?"

Su Yinyin looked at Zhu Xu, bowed, and said, "Yes, General Cao hopes that the United Fleet will be the main force in this battle against Japan. He wants to take this opportunity to test the combat power of the United Fleet."

Zhu Xu looked at Su Yinyin with a strange expression.It was supposed to be a lot of fun between men and women, but why did they act like business affairs?

Immediately, he was thoughtful, and said for a moment: "Well, the idea is good. It is not time for the Wa Kingdom to be resolved. I just want to put enough pressure on the Wa Kingdom to force them to continue the internal friction. Later, I will order someone to pass the decree to make Cao become a dragon. Lead the fleet to the north and station in Weihaiwei. It is almost time, your work should be completed as soon as possible, and you can't delay it."

Su Yinyin didn't show any rigidity, but just pursed her lips quietly.

Zhu Xu thinks Su Yinyin is very interesting. After marrying Cao Bianjiao in the future, he doesn't know what the scene will be. Thinking about it, I really have some expectations.

With a smile in his eyes, Zhu Xu said: "This trip, your contribution is not small, but you can't reward it clearly. In this way, if you are promoted to the captain of the imperial army, the guards of the inner court will be handed over to you, and you can also train some female soldiers. Proper, write a playbook for me to read."

Only then did Su Yinyin's expression change, she knelt on one knee and said, "Yes, I obey the order."

Her voice was clear and crisp, if one didn't look at her appearance, one would think she was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl.

When Su Yinyin left, Zhu Xu picked up the playbook and thought about Su Yinyin's words.

Although the United Fleet is an export-oriented, low-intensity quasi-navy similar to the coast guard, it is already considered a powerful regular army compared to the Japanese country. After all, they do not have a navy, and most of their ships are small wooden boards. , and there are not enough artillery, whether it is at sea or on the shore, they can only be beaten passively.

The United Fleet has the ability to block the Kanmon Strait, cut off the connection between Honshu Island and Kyukoku Island, and make the Tokugawa Shogunate army on Kyukoku Island a lone army!

"Alright, I also want to weigh the real strength of Wa Kingdom and Tokugawa Iemitsu's attitude." Zhu Xu whispered to himself.As for the actual capabilities of the United Fleet, Zhu Xu is not very worried, and there is still a lot of time to practice.

Just as Zhu Xu picked up the notebook at hand, Cao Huachun hurried in, handed over a secret letter, and said, "Your Majesty, a secret letter from Shenlong Mansion."

"Bumbutai's?" Zhu Xu casually said as he took it.

Cao Huachun's face turned serious, and he said, "It belongs to Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Xu looked at his expression, spread out the small note, glanced at it, and then was startled, with a somewhat inexplicable expression on his face.

This secret letter stated that there was a group of Japanese people in Shenlong Mansion. After investigation, they were imperial envoys of Iemitsu Tokugawa. They had a secret letter in their hands, but they were not allowed to enter Beijing without permission. They have been trying to find a way to leave Shenlong Mansion. .

If there is the imperial envoy of Tokugawa Iemitsu, what is the one here?

Zhu Xu's fingers tapped on the table habitually, and gradually, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"interesting."

Looking at the secret letter, Zhu Xu smiled more and more.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's expression, and was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be angry if he was tricked?

Zhu Xu put the secret letter on the side of the table, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "This group of people should be enemies of the Tokugawa shogunate. It's really interesting to want to kill two birds with one stone... Three days later, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites come forward and invite them to the posthouse , good hospitality, be more grand, let Jin Yiwei watch secretly, don't let them run away."

Cao Huachun had followed Zhu Xu for many years, and he knew that this group of people would be in trouble, so he said calmly, "Yes."

Then, Zhu Xu said: "Let those Japanese people from Shenlong Mansion come to Beijing, I want to meet them personally."

The corner of Cao Huachun's eyes twitched unconsciously, and Zhu Xu went off in person, indicating that this game of chess is very big, and there will be more unlucky people.

"Yes." Cao Huachun replied calmly.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhu Xu suddenly said, "By the way, when will the list of candidates for the imperial examination be released?"

Cao Huachun said: "The papers from the south are expected to arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and they will be checked overnight, and the results will be released the day after tomorrow at the latest. The slave has already told Vice President Song that once the results are available, they will be sent to the cabinet hall immediately."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said, "I see."

This time the imperial examination has too much to do with it, so Zhu Xu has to watch carefully.

Cao Huachun backed out silently. Just after he left, Liu Shimin came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Military Weapons Bureau reported that they are developing new types of artillery and explosives. The artillery will be lighter and the gunpowder will be more powerful. I don't know what the Emperor has. Time to check it out?"

Zhu Xu put down the notebook in his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't have time recently, let the Minister of the Ministry of War go on my behalf. By the way, I will invite King Ping to enter the palace later, and I will treat him to dinner."

"Yes." Liu Shimin said.
