Chapter 808 Is this something a human being could do?
As Zhu Biao finished speaking, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but laugh.
That's why Zhu Biao is described as a black sesame dumpling.
This guy clearly intends to first intimidate the Koreans with force, and then support them, so that the Koreans and the short, ugly guy will fight each other like dogs.
The approach is flawless.
The foolish eagle has proven with real-life examples that as long as the master is powerful enough, the stick and the shorty are two incredibly obedient dogs.
Moreover, the Koreans also have Marquis Guide, Chen Li, and Marquis Guiyi, Ming Sheng.
These two unfortunate brothers dared to betray Deng Xiaoping back in the Ming Dynasty, and as a result, Deng Xiaoping forced them to settle on the Korean Peninsula.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has two treasure ships as its flagships, and dozens of warships, watercraft, horse boats, and passenger boats of various types as its auxiliary fleet, how much more audacious will these two brothers in their misfortune swell?
It's hard to say if it's too high.
However, they will certainly have the courage to "take his place".
Yang Shaofeng shook his head gently, banishing these random thoughts from his mind, and said with a smile, "The matter with the Koreans isn't urgent for now. There's an even more important place I need to go to."
Zhu Biao was slightly taken aback, but Yang Shaofeng slowly uttered four words.
"Nankuyi Island".
Pay attention.
Nankuyi Island, also known as Ezo, was under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Commandery during the Han Dynasty and Andong Protectorate during the Tang Dynasty. In contrast, there was Beikuyi Island.
Beikuyi Island is the famous Sakhalin Island. During the Qianlong era, it was occupied by Sha'e, and in the tenth year of Xianfeng, it was officially ceded to Sha'e.
In the eighth year of the Tongzhi reign, Nankuyi Island was occupied by the short and ugly people and renamed Hokkaido.
"Let's take a trip to Nankuyi Island first."
Taking back Nankuyi Island would at least satisfy the desire to "see the cherry blossoms in Nankuyi but not want to go abroad".
As Yang Shaofeng pondered the cherry blossoms, he said, "Although that place may be poor and harsh, and mostly inhabited by short, stocky people, it is surrounded by the sea and rich in mineral resources, making it a perfect gateway for the Ming Dynasty at sea."
As Yang Shaofeng finished speaking, Zhu Biao's heart began to pound wildly.
Although being surrounded by the sea on all sides means that it may be attacked from all sides, it is backed by the Ming Dynasty, with Beikuyi Island to the north forming a defensive triangle, and the Ming Dynasty stationed troops in Aizhuozi to the south, so Nankuyi Island is only vulnerable to attack from one side.
By installing a large number of cannons on the island, it would be equivalent to a treasure ship that cannot move but has firepower many times stronger.
More importantly, it is the phrase "abundant mineral resources".
If even my brother-in-law said "rich in mineral resources," how many mineral resources must Nan Ku Yi Island have?
As Zhu Biao pondered how to notify the Ministry of Works to send someone over, he said, "Southern barbarians? Tiny-inch men?"
"Since they are short and stocky, that means they are not citizens of our Great Ming Dynasty, right?"
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said, "First, they are not citizens of the Great Ming Dynasty, and second, they have not obtained permission from the imperial court. Who gave them the audacity to live on our Great Ming's island without authorization? Isn't this a coincidence? They have mineral deposits, and they also have laborers to mine them."
Yang Shaofeng was a little confused.
Although I already knew that black sesame glutinous rice balls weren't white, this one is way too black!
After all, it is clearly written in the history books that the island of Nankuyi was once under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Prefecture and had paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty's Andong Prefecture did not drive them all away.
How come when it comes to your black sesame glutinous rice balls, they become people who have been living on your Ming Dynasty's island without permission, and even inexplicably become laborers?
black.
So dark.
Your black sesame glutinous rice ball is so black it's almost multicolored!
While secretly complaining, Yang Shaofeng advised, "We're just going to Nankuyi Island for a quick look around. We'll deal with the rest later."
Zhu Biao pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Does brother-in-law know how old the Duke of Han is this year?"
Yang Shaofeng was slightly taken aback and asked, "The Duke of Han?"
Zhu Biao sighed softly and said, "The Duke of Han is already sixty years old this year."
Yang Shaofeng simply curled his lip.
Sixty years old?
At sixty, it's the perfect time to strive and work hard. What are you sighing about?
Besides, Old Li is incredibly resilient; he even outlived you, a mere black sesame dumpling.
Zhu Biao had no idea what Yang Shaofeng was thinking, but he continued, "My father said before that he wanted to divide up the entire country of Japan. The fiefdoms of people like the Duke of Han and the Marquis of Chengyi will probably be transferred to Japan sooner or later."
"Brother-in-law, tell me, isn't it too late if we don't let this meritorious official, who is over sixty years old, come to Japan to expand his fiefdom and enjoy his retirement?"
"Of course, the court still needs the Duke of Han and the Earl of Chengyi, so my plan is to have Qi-ge'er and Lian-ge'er come over first."
"..."
Zhu Biao rambled on about his plans.
Yang Shaofeng was completely dumbfounded.
Everyone says I like to cause trouble, and the whole court calls me Crazy Yang.
But which of your tricks for selling black sesame dumplings is cleaner than mine?
Old Li was at least sixty years old, and Liu Bowen was even three years older than Li Shanchang.
You, with your big mouth, are trying to get Li Qi and Liu Lian to come to Nan Ku Yi Island to expand their territory. Is this something a human being would do?
……
Since the signing of the Treaty of 1933, Huai Liang's back pain and leg pain have stopped, and he is even more energetic.
"Abdicate."
"His Majesty's issuance of the abdication edict is still a gesture of goodwill."
Huai Liang looked at Chang Qingtianhuang, a fierce glint in his eyes: "If Your Majesty clings to the old ways and refuses to abdicate, I fear there is a risk that the imperial line will be cut off and the imperial family line will be severed."
Changqing Tianhuang gave a self-deprecating laugh.
What if he abdicates?
What good would it do to not abdicate?
In recent years, there have been voices in the Southern Japanese court urging them to join forces with the Northern Japanese court, making his position as the emperor's successor precarious.
If it weren't for the fact that some people in the Southern Japanese court opposed reconciliation with the Northern Court, I probably would have issued an abdication edict long ago.
only……
Changqing Tianhuang stared intently at Huailiang and asked, "You agreed to the Ming people's conditions. Don't you know that from now on, the Empire will become a vassal state of the Ming people, the people of the Empire will be inferior to the Ming people, and the resources of the Empire will be plundered by them?"
Huai Liang nodded and said straightforwardly, "I know, I know all the consequences."
"But what's the use of knowing?"
"Even if the consequences are more serious than this, does that mean Japan can refuse to sign this treaty?"
"Just like Kinnosuke said, if I don't sign, someone else will be willing to sign."
“If Your Majesty is willing to abdicate, I can still treat Your Majesty well. Apart from the name of Tianhuang, everything will be the same as before.”
"But if it were someone of great stature like Kikuchi Takemasa signing it, how could they possibly treat His Majesty well?"
Changqing Tianhuang clenched his fists tightly inside his sleeves, glaring at Huailiang as he said, "Among the millions of citizens of the Imperial Kingdom, is there not a single person willing to be loyal to Tianhuang and to the Great Japanese Empire?"
