    After more than a hundred years of seclusion, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have a deep understanding of Japan. The image of the Japanese in their eyes was largely derived from the Japanese pirates. They wore combed hair, wore kimonos, and looked fierce, wielding Japanese swords and using the most powerful Japanese swords.  He killed the people of Ming Dynasty in cruel ways, plundered their property, and finally walked away with a maniacal laugh

    This understanding of the Japanese is too one-sided. The Japanese are a very extreme nation. They have no sympathy for the weak, just like they treat the people of the Ming Dynasty. In their eyes, the lives of the weak are no different from pigs and dogs, and they can be slaughtered to their heart's content.  , and for the strong, they deeply surrender and worship them. Even if the strong takes a knife and cuts them alive piece by piece, they think it is an honor, the honor of being cut alive by the strong.

    This kind of thinking of the Japanese is actually quite similar to that of the Mongolians. Both are adherents of the cruel laws of nature, and both believe in the philosophy of respecting the strong. Simply put, if the family only has one piece of food, this will  Food must be given to the youngest and strongest people in the family without any dispute. The elderly, women and children can only go hungry. Only when the middle-aged people in the family are full can they be able to get more food from outside. This philosophy of life is consistent with the Ming Dynasty's philosophy.  Confucianism is very different, but Japan and Mongolia are also different. The Mongolians do the same naked things very openly and straightforwardly, but the Japanese put a layer of extremely hypocritical etiquette on the surface of this cruel nature.  It's quite pleasing to the eye at first glance, but after a long look, it makes people shudder towards this nation.

    Qin Kan knew very well in his heart how painful a war this seemingly polite nation would bring to China five hundred years later.  They hate the Japanese even more than the Mongols. Of course, they are also the most wary of the Japanese.

    Yang Dequan accidentally fought a war with Japan, which was deeply surprising to Qin Kan, but he was very happy in his heart. He even secretly made a decision. It was not convenient for Zhu Houzhao to award the reward, but he, Qin Kan, could award the reward. The gong was struck at dawn.  Giving him a thousand taels of gold by beating the drum would not only win over the hearts of the Tianjin navy.  It even made other navy masters jealous.  With Yang Dequan as a beacon in the sea of ??suffering, are you still afraid that others will follow suit without fighting?  So today the Quanzhou Navy swam to Japan and fired two cannons, and tomorrow the Ningbo Navy swam to Japan and fired two cannons. The innocent Japanese Emperor fainted in his latrine

    Thinking about it makes me feel very happy.

    "Mr. Gongye Gongye!"

    Ding Shun¡¯s accentuated tone brought Qin Kan back to his senses: ¡°Why do you smile so mistyly, sir?¡±

    "I remembered something very happy" Qin Kan came back to his senses and suppressed his smile.  He coughed twice and said: "The leader of Japan and the envoys of the two daimyo are on their way to the capital to worship. It is estimated that they will arrive in the capital tomorrow. You make arrangements and order the imperial guards to protect them secretly to prevent anything from happening to the three envoys.  Mistake. Something bad happened."

    Ding Shun smiled and said: "Now that the Japanese Emperor's envoy is here, do you plan to discuss trade with him directly?"

    Qin Kan glanced at him and said: "We really need to talk about trade, but not with the Japanese Emperor's envoy, but with the two daimyo's envoys"

    Ding Shun was surprised and said: "My subordinates are stupid, the emperorshould be greater than those two so-called daimyo, right?"

    "Theoretically speaking, the emperor is indeed big, but today is different from the past. Today's Japan is in the Warring States Period. There are dozens of daimyo forces fighting around in this small place. The nominally largest emperor is naturally  A phoenix with fallen wings is not as good as a chicken. Everyone has to kowtow when they see him, but no one takes him seriously. He lives like a beggar" Qin Kan said with a bit of gloating on his face.  smile.

    "I heard that a funeral was to be held after the death of Japan's previous generation, Emperor Gotsuchimikado, but their palace treasury was so empty that they could only scrape together a hundred kan and hastily wrap Emperor Gotsuchi in a mat.  The new emperor, Kashiwahara, was even worse. He didn¡¯t even hold an enthronement ceremony, and just quietly came to power like a thief. Later, the new emperor was stabbed in the spine and felt really uncomfortable. He mustered up the courage to challenge the most powerful person.  The daimyo Hosokawa asked for money to hold the enthronement ceremony, but he was rejected by Hosokawa: "The enthronement ceremony is of no benefit and is a waste of money." Therefore, the majestic emperor has been in power for almost nine years and is still not justified.  By the way, I haven¡¯t given a big gift yet"

    Ding Shun was dumbfounded when he heard this. After a long while, he said in shock: "Today we know that the Japanese Emperor is in such a miserable situation. My father-in-law once said that the Emperor may not even be able to afford a curtain. It turns out that this is not a joke, but the truth."

    Qin Kan sighed: "If I were the Emperor of Japan, my life would be like this. I can't afford to bury my father, and I can't afford the grand ceremony for my own enthronement. It would be better to be killed by being so useless, but their Emperor is still alive and well.  Yes, this shows how thick-skinned and shameless the Japanese are."

    Ding Shun blinked his eyes and hesitantly asked: "From what I heard, it seems that you have a lot of hostility towards Japan?"

    Qin Kan smiled half-heartedly: "Otherwise? Is it possible that I should regard these shameless people as my ancestors?"Waiting?  "

    His face gradually became solemn, and Qin Kan emphasized his tone and said: "Ding Shun, you have to take the country of Japan seriously, and don't be fooled by their temporary servility. Once their strength expands, they will tear off the disguise of humility and reveal  With their ferocious fangs, they are more terrifying than the Mongols. Mongolia is only a problem that has plagued our Ming Dynasty for ten years, while Japan has been a problem that has plagued our Ming Dynasty for a hundred years!"

    Ding Shun seemed to understand. He stared blankly for a long time with his eyes open, and finally nodded heavily. Although he still didn't quite understand what the father-in-law said, since the father-in-law was so hostile to Japan, Ding Shun would naturally not be too polite to them in the future.

    "My lord, the Japanese envoy will arrive in the capital tomorrow. What do you think then" Ding Shun asked tentatively.

    Qin Kan smiled: "Entertain them with good food and drink, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not interested in a region. There is no need to vent your anger on a few envoys. What I want is Japan's decadence or even a hundred years."

    No matter whether it is a literary fight or a military fight, the winner will have the winner's harvest.

    After the court meeting ended, the ministers had not yet walked out of the palace gate. The factory guards who had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time were like tigers and wolves. They began to pick up people according to the plan, including Cao Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and Feng Yuan, who was involved in the incident. They captured the civil servants involved on the spot.  There were more than fifty people in total. In vain, the court went through a bloody purge.

    At sunset, a carriage was waiting quietly outside the lobby of the Ministry of Punishments. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Qin Kan's fair and handsome face appeared in front of the officials of the Ministry of Punishments. The panic-stricken officials of the Ministry of Punishments smiled with them and respectfully handed over the man who had been in prison for half a month.  Yan Song, the prefect of Tianjin, sent him out.

    Seeing that Yan Song was covered in scars and his white prison clothes were covered with dried and dark red bloodstains. It was obvious that he had suffered a heavy punishment in prison. Qin Kan's face gradually darkened.

    Seeing Qin Kan¡¯s unkind look, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment suddenly felt weak all over and lost control of their knees. They knelt down in front of the carriage shaft and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

    On the contrary, Yan Song was relieved, smiled freely, and said: "That's all, if I can see you again in this life, it's God's mercy. Why should I meet these little people?"

    The murderous intent on Qin Kan's face gradually dissipated. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "Wei Zhong was implicated by me this time. You have suffered. I can't help you."

    Yan Song endured the pain and bowed to Qin Kan: "A scholar dies for a confidant, and Yan Weizhong will be honored even if he dies."

    Qin Kan patted his shoulder movedly and said with a smile: "Go back and recover from your injuries. You will continue to work hard for me after you recover."

    Yan Song also smiled: "It's just a matter of exhaustion."

    Yan Song was in a very bad state of mind after being tortured, and blood oozed from his limbs even if he moved a little. Yan Song was very tough, and he was so painful that cold sweat dripped from his forehead, but he seemed unconscious and still chatted and laughed with Qin Kan.

    Qin Kan personally helped Yan Song get into the carriage, and ordered him to be sent home to rest. He also invited several imperial doctors who specialized in treating trauma from the imperial hospital to go to Yan's mansion to see his injuries. Yan Song was quite poor as an official, perhaps because he was young.  Because he was too thin-skinned when accepting bribes, unlike an old man like Qin Kan who could let go, so Qin Kan ordered people to get some rare medicinal materials such as wild ginseng and deer antlers from his own warehouse and sent them to the Yan Mansion. At the same time, he also sent  Ten thousand taels of silver.

    At night, Qin Kan still stayed in Fusi, Beizhen and did not go home. Recently, the court purged a large number of civil servants. How to specifically convict these people, how to get them to make oral confessions, how to collect personal and material evidence, and how to take advantage of this opportunity to convict these people.  His own party members will fill these vacant positions, etc. These things all need to be handled by Qin Kan himself.

    Under the bright candlelight, Qin Kan was holding a large brush and writing on a large piece of rice paper.

    Qin Kan rarely writes, so this piece of calligraphy was specially given to Yan Song. The content is very positive and inspirational.

    "Beside the sunken boat, thousands of sails are sailing; in front of the diseased trees, thousands of trees are blooming."

    After finishing his wonderful strokes, Qin Kan took two steps back and looked at the calligraphy he had just written. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned. It was obvious that Mr. Qin¡¯s calligraphy was not in proportion to his appearance. The more he looked at it, the more he disliked it. In this era  It's been several years, but Qin Kan's bad words are really hard to handle.

    Of course, probably only an illiterate person like Ding Shun would brag blindly and shamelessly.

    "Good calligraphy! My father-in-law's handwriting is full of dragons and phoenixes, and his pen is full of flowers"

    Qin Kan irritably crumpled the words into a ball and threw them far away. He calmed down and wrote another one, but he was still not satisfied.

    Mr. Qin is not very patient sometimes. After many setbacks in his calligraphy, he simply threw away the pen this time, and his face gradually became livid.

    "Ding Shun!"

    "My subordinates are here."

    "Send someone to the Imperial Academy to select a person with outstanding calligraphy.I put it on my neck and forced him to write the calligraphy I had just written, and then sent it to me. I wrote the signature, stamped my personal seal, and sent it to Yan Song's house.  "

    "yes!"
