Chapter 382 Intention

After the incident, Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly sent an envoy to Daxia, which was actually done to show the daimyo lords. Knowing that Daxia was determined to cede Tsushima Island, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt at ease.

Tsushima Island must not be ceded, and Daxia prohibits sea trade, so what should we do?

There are only two ways to go.

Number one, fight. Defeated Daxia by force and forced Daxia to open the sea.

The second way is to completely close the country. If there is no war, Daxia will ban the sea and sea trade will be gone. Naturally, it will be able to implement Tokugawa Iemitsu's political idea - to close the country in isolation - and go one step further, not even a foreign port will be needed.

Sure enough, a daimyo feudal lord spoke up and said: "Your Excellency General, I heard that the Xia Kingdom on the mainland has just been established. It must not have internal stability and accumulation of foundations. If we take this opportunity to declare force and force the Xia Kingdom to open the sea, it must not be difficult. Even... ..It’s not a bad idea to work hard and complete Toyotomi-kun’s unfinished business!”

Before Tokugawa Iemitsu could speak, a daimyo retorted: "From the Kai family, if you want to fight Natsu, go and fight. After the fight, you can say this."

Hearing this, the former Kai clan lord said: "It turns out to be the old Maori from Changzhou. I just don't understand. Your territory is close to Nagasaki. In this sea trade, you eat the bones and I drink the soup. I am in a hurry here, but you are not in a hurry. .”

The Lord of the Nagasu Mori Domain groaned and said, "You have asked the Hizen family before you talk to me."

The Lord of the Hizen Domain spoke at this time: "From the Kai family, your fiefdom is in Kanto, and you don't know how powerful the Natsu Kingdom is. Earlier, the Natsu Kingdom's navy showed off its power in the Tsushima Strait, and old Maori and I couldn't stand it..."

"There was a battle." Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "The general, the Mori family and the Hizen family sent 30,000 troops, and almost all of them were wiped out. But the Natsu Kingdom's navy was not injured at all. That's it."

Then he sighed: "Although the Xia Kingdom was victorious, it did not take advantage of the situation to occupy Tsushima Island. In fact, the Xia Kingdom's navy was cruising in the strait, and Tsushima Island had long been lost. I sent an envoy, and it was also It's a pity that we have to solve this problem..."

Finally, he said: "Although the Xia Kingdom has just been established, its navy is so powerful that even the barbarians in the western part of the country are powerless. However, this generation of mainland courts is different from the past, and the monarchs and ministers are extremely tough."

"What should we do? Gather all the gentlemen together today. The matter has been explained clearly. Let's discuss it."

...

Not to mention that Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to use the Great Summer Sea Ban to completely complete the policy of seclusion. Just talk about the passage of time and it soon entered February.

On this day, the first batch of elemental weapons in Tongzhou Yuanqi Industrial Zone was finally born. Including 10,000 Li C-type single-shot Yuan Fu guns, 5,000 continuous-shot Yuan Fu guns, 20 heavy Zhen C type element cannons and 50 light Zhen C type element cannons.

Ying Yi personally went to Tongzhou to inspect and led civil and military officials to observe the test firing.

After a round of shelling, a hill over a hundred meters outside the industrial zone was razed to the ground, and everyone showed a knowing smile.

"very good."

Ying Yi first praised the officials in the industrial zone, and then told Zheng Huaidao, the Arms Department of the Military Aircraft Administration: "Transport the new weapons to the Liaodong theater as soon as possible, complete the replacement and familiarize yourself with the performance of the new equipment as soon as possible. By mid-March, the Liaodong mission must be completed The war zone and the Shandong Navy changed equipment and became familiar with performance matters."

Zheng Huai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. According to the efficiency of Tongzhou Industrial Zone, the three major industrial zones will work together to achieve the goal by mid-March."

"So best."

...

Henan, Nanyang, Yexian, Liujiazhuang.

Early in the morning, as soon as it was bright and clear, Liu Ning came out of the house. He was shirtless, revealing a strong body that was as bronzed as a wall.

The early birds were chirping. Liu Ning warmed up a bit, and then performed martial arts exercises ten times. The whistling wind of fists stirred up in the courtyard, rolling the branches of the locust tree that stretched out from the courtyard wall, and made a sound. Clattering noise.

The physical training techniques in the martial arts can be divided into two types: hard and soft. The soft one is like water and stretches slowly. It is suitable for laying the foundation and suitable for children to learn for the first time. The strong ones are strong and domineering, and are suitable for those who have reached a certain level of physical fitness to practice.

After ten times of physical training, Liu Ning took several long breaths before stopping. Steam billows from the top of my head. Like a steamer, the body is like a big furnace, steaming the surrounding air and twisting it slightly.

"Ningzi."

Liu Ning turned around and smiled: "Mom, you got up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

The old woman smiled and said, "It's very busy here, and my mother is awake, so you might as well get up."

Liu Ning said: "In the army, we are used to getting up before dawn."

"Mom knows." The old woman was about to fetch water with a wooden bucket: "You have a rest first and have porridge in the morning."

Liu Ning hurriedly grabbed the barrel: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

After filling the water tank, Father Liu also got up, along with Liu Ning's little brother, a six-year-old slug.

At the dinner table, Father Liu said: "Yesterday, your aunt from the Zhang family announced the marriage. I thought about it for half a night and thought it was okay. She is the daughter of the Li family in Liushu Village. She is sixteen years old, two years younger than you. , just right. If you have nothing to do today, don’t run around, and ask your mother to go to Willow Village to see you, and make an appointment to meet her. We will get married after just one glance, and you are not young anymore."

When Liu Ning heard this, he paused with his chopsticks and said, "Dad, I'm going back to Liaodong in a few days. I don't have much time."

Father Liu said: "There are still a few days left, so let's make do with it. Let's get married first. In your army, you only eat on the edge of the knife. Just in case..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Ningniang scolded quickly: "My son is a noble military lord and is good at martial arts. He will be a general in the future."

Father Liu's face darkened and he said, "Yes, yes, I want to be a general! It's time for me, the 18th generation farmer of the Liu family, to produce someone who will shine on our family."

The snotty boy on the side shouted: "Big brother wants to be a general! I will also be a general in the future!"

Liu Ning chuckled and rubbed the corner of the snotty baby's head vigorously.

While I was drinking porridge, a cry came from outside the door: "Boss! Boss!"

Liu Ning was startled, and Father Liu on the side said, "It's Wang Xiaoer."

Liu Ning nodded and put down his chopsticks: "Mom and dad, let me go out and take a look."

After going out, I saw a burly guy standing outside the courtyard wall stretching his head.

"What are you doing? It's early in the morning." Liu Ning opened the door: "Come in, have you had breakfast?"

"Eat." Wang Xiaoer said: "Boss, there is something here that I need to tell you."

"What's up?"

"We have to leave today." Wang Xiaoer said: "Yesterday I went to Ye County and met the camp general. It was said that the military order from the war zone had come down. I had to end my family visit early and return to the war zone to familiarize myself with the new armaments. If I didn't meet I, the battalion general, will personally inform each one. Sishi, remember, Sishi gathered at the entrance of the village."

After that, he left.

Liu Ning was slightly excited after hearing this. But then he looked at his parents walking out of the house together, and his mood dropped again.

"father..."

"I heard it all." Father Liu said, "I'm afraid if we don't have this fate, the opportunity may not come. Now that the military order has been issued, you should prepare early. When you come back next time, I will make arrangements for you."

"Um."
