The rumors about the admiral, maritime minister Wei, are mostly true and false.

Yizhen is the true identity of the eunuch Wei, the maritime official, and the rest should be false from the official level.

If the eunuch of this dynasty needs a resume for public announcement by the Organization Department, the eunuch Wei may have only a few lines of resume.

However, Eunuch Wei was so happy and loved to fake it. Therefore, if the rumors were organized in words, Eunuch Wei's resume would have at least hundreds of words.

Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish between true and false.

The reason is that there is a difference between inside and outside.

Chen Yourong and Shi Dezheng were unable to investigate the details of Eunuch Wei, and they could only judge based on rumors.

It is rumored that Eunuch Wei was a celebrity around the emperor and the imperial concubine. So there is nothing to doubt about this, combining the work of Eunuch Wei in Jiangnan and the fact that Your Majesty is good at using a slave today.

Wei Liangchen used his tribute to others and regarded his preferences. He did not fight or get to know each other. A letter revealed his heart, which made Shen Gan General, who devoted his life to conquering Japan, be moved.

Compared with civil officials, military generals’ impression of the inner court was derived from their success.

That is, if the promoted people are civil officials, their attitude towards the inner court is the same as that of civil officials.

But if there is no promotion and reuse of civil officials and purely personal efforts, then their attitude towards the inner court will be the same as that of civil officials.

Moreover, the civil ministers' attitude towards the inner court was not a monolithic one. This dynasty had several big dynasties. When the weight of the big dynasties was not under his sect, the Grand Secretary, the Governor, and the Qingliu, the Minister of the Ministry of Education, shook the flag and shouted for it.

Without it, pure profit.

Therefore, Chen Yourong then entered the General's Office.

Although he was a general, he did not have a deputy general in Zhejiang. Therefore, for the land and sea of ​​Zhejiang, he was a deputy general in Zhejiang. He and Shi Dezheng have been colleagues for many years. They worked in Fujian for many years. They not only have broad vision and are good at naval combat, but also were influenced by the hardlines among civil officials and Fujian Governor Jin Xuezeng. Therefore, even if they were transferred to Zhejiang, they would never forget the expedition to Japan.

In the past, there was no chance, but now, this opportunity has come.

Shi Dezheng knew Chen Yourong's thoughts, and the information about the Japanese invasion of Ryukyu and trying to get involved in the Eastern Band, marine merchants and overseas people reported to Fujian and Zhejiang many times.

It can be said that the Ming army has always attached great importance to Japan's intelligence work.

When the Expeditionary Force was formed, Fujian Governor Jin Xue once attached great importance to intelligence work. He ordered an aide named Liu Si to dress up as a businessman to go to Japan to spies, draw maps, investigate the Japanese customs, coastal soldiers, and formulate an offensive plan. During this period, most of the Ming army spies were invisible inside the sea ships traveling to Japan, and many of them were Jinyiwei.

This was undoubtedly supported by Wanli. Otherwise, the Jinyiwei would not act without authorization in Fujian and Zhejiang. During the war against Japanese desperation in Korea, a large number of Dongchang and Jinyiwei's men were active on the Korean Peninsula, and even on the Japanese mainland.

It is probably Wanli's ambition to attack from north to south, advance by water and land, and eliminate the Japanese disaster in one fell swoop.

However, everything was right in Fujian and Zhejiang. When the imperial court was owed a court to confront the imperial edict, Xu, a Han citizen in Japan, smuggled back and brought back the news of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death.

As a result, the expedition to Japan was left alone.

This disappointed the Fujian and Zhejiang officials and generals who were preparing for the expeditionary force at that time and could not do anything about it.

After more than ten years, a eunuch from the inner court suddenly wrote to him that he could restart his expedition to Japan. This must be a very shocking and tempting thing for Shi Dezheng and the two generals Chen Yourong.

You must know that behind the eunuch is the emperor.

Chen Yourong handed the letter written by Eunuch Wei to Shi Dezheng.

After reading it, Shi Dezheng was silent for a moment and asked Chen Yourong: "Is this feasible?"

Chen Yourong did not hesitate and said certainly: "It should be feasible. In the 32nd year of Wanli, Japan's Yamada Nagamasa led a ship to invade Dongfan, but it was asked to defeat the Dongfan natives. Previously, fishermen reported that this year, the Japanese sent ships to Ryukyu again, and wanted to go to Dongfan again, but they still called repulsion. From this point of view, the Japanese are no longer as strong as they were back."

Shi Dezheng nodded. Since Toyotomi's death, Japan has experienced civil strife in the east and west, and its national strength should be less than Toyotomi's time. When the Governor of Jin suggested that the court send troops to seize the civil strife in Japan, it was actually a good opportunity. Unfortunately, the court officials were unwilling to raise their weapons and missed the opportunity. Now that Japan has established a new shogunate, its national strength has shrunk and it is unwilling to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty again, which shows that it is cowardly.

Chen Yourong said: "If we can unite, get the support of His Majesty, gather our full strength in Zhejiang and the Navy of Wei, and have Fujian's help, hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if we cannot expedition to Japan, it will be easy to collect Dongfan and Ryukyu. I have been thinking about this matter again and again. Japan's contact with the outside world is in the sea. If Ryukyu and the Eastern Fan are in the hands of our Ming Dynasty, Japan's external contact will be cut off. Even if there is no war between the two countries, trade can be under the leadership of our Ming Dynasty, and the profit is quite good."

The benefits of maritime trade, and Shi Dezheng didn't know how good he was. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Li Dan would send an assassin to you after hearing what you said."

Chen Yourong laughed and shook his head and said, "Although Li Dan is a Han Chinese, he has left his country and is no longer a Chinese. He is a bandit at best, short-sighted and has a sea passage, but only knows yellow and white things and has not accumulated strength. If this continues, the Japanese shogunate will not tolerate him."

"A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Li Dan's name does not match his true name. However, Wang Zhi was a character back then, but unfortunately..." Shi Dezheng sighed.

"Do you reply to Eunuch Wei?" Chen Yourong asked.

Shi Dezheng felt a little embarrassed: "We have always been dealing with the high school chief. How can we do this matter if the high school chief refuses to agree? Besides, this matter is of great importance. You and I cannot decide. I am afraid that the few people in the village will nod to each other."

The people Shi Dezheng mentioned in the village refer to the former chief minister Chen Yiguan and other important members of the Zhejiang Party who retired and returned home. Most of the forces of Fujian-Zhejiang sea trade and maritime merchants are controlled by the Zhejiang Party. Many people in the Party are actually maritime merchant families. Chen Yiguan was able to serve as the chief minister at that time, but Fujian-Zhejiang sea merchants donated a lot of gold and silver to build up the relationship between the inner court.

To put it bluntly, although Shi Dezheng was the general of Zhejiang, if he had not agreed to the Zhejiang Party, he would probably not be able to mobilize the Zhejiang Nine Guards. You should know that many of the nine guards in the coastal areas were bought by the maritime merchants for silver or fed them.

Outsiders did not know the situation in Zhejiang, but Chen Yourong didn't know what Chen Yourong didn't know. He knew very well about the maritime special zone built by the Eunuch of Wei who pretended to be Japanese pirates. At the same time, he also knew why the merchants instructed the Dinghaiwei to do this, because the merchants believed that the maritime eunuch's admiral's maritime yamen would ruin their good things.

Chen Yourong said: "As long as the town comes forward, this matter will be done. In fact, there is no need for us to come forward to persuade the high school minister."

Shi Dezheng said in surprise: "Oh, why?"

"A little eunuch knows that maritime affairs are huge profits, and he is trying his best to get involved, and wants to unite with our Zhejiang Army. In this way, what's wrong with letting him use it? Can't we use him in reverse?" Chen Yourong smiled slightly.

Shi Dezheng came over and laughed.

A strong soldier can be the emperor, or he can keep his word
