Why are Japanese pirates so powerful?

Actually there are two reasons.

First, the soldiers of the Wei State were in Taishui. At that time, the Wei State implemented a policy of emphasizing culture and restraining military force. After this, Emperor Jianwen began to develop military equipment.

Secondly, the individual combat effectiveness of the Japanese pirates is indeed very strong. They are mobile combatants, which are hard to detect. They also have the ability to fight at night and have excellent fighting energy, similar to special forces.

Himekawa had a gloomy face.

As the emperor, of course he knew about this shame, but at that time the Wei State had a policy of suppressing military force. Most of the army was old, weak, sick and disabled, and its combat effectiveness was not good at all.

But this became the glory of the Japanese pirates. They claimed that the seventy-two warriors swept the entire Wei Kingdom.

Shingenda Takeshi smiled and said: "This may be offensive, but these seventy-two warriors are from my command. With only seventy-two warriors, we can sweep across the Wei Kingdom. I have five thousand warriors now, how can I still be invincible?"

Daning?"

"Just Emperor Yuanwu, I really don't take him seriously!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all Wei Chen in the palace were extremely ugly. How could they bear being so humiliated?

"Everyone...everyone..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Huang Zheng hurriedly said: "Xinxuan Tianwu Daimyo means that we are fully capable of helping Wei defeat Daning, and there is no other meaning."

"Really not!"

He smiled and looked apologetic.

Everyone present could see that one of these two people was a good person and the other was a bad person.

Nanyang and Dongyang united to try to trick Wei.

Himekawa looked sulky but quickly regained his composure. He raised his hand to signal others not to say anything, and then asked calmly: "I wonder what your conditions are?"

"Can I tell you directly?"

Huang Zheng looked around and saw that there were seven or eight Wei ministers present.

"Can."

"good."

After receiving Jichuan's permission, Huang Zheng said: "We are two parties and will do our best to help Wei State resist foreign enemies. However, in order to be more convenient, we need Wei State to choose a port in the southeastern counties to be our permanent station.

…”

Being stationed permanently is equivalent to ceding it to them. More importantly, it gives these foreigners a beachhead to attack, retreat and defend.

These people are so ambitious!

Zhou Li, Minister of the Ministry of War, could not hide his anger, but he still held it back.

Wei Guo can't give anything else, and if you want money or things, you can't get it...

"We also hope that the Wei court can fully lift the ban on the sea area, allow our Southeast Asian merchants to enter, and also allow the Japanese to come as they please."

Huang Zheng asked: "We know that your country is in difficulty now, so we don't want money or materials. These should be normal conditions, right?"

No one spoke because His Majesty had not expressed his attitude yet, but the expressions on their faces betrayed their mood.

Is this considered a normal condition?

Nanyang merchants were allowed to enter at will, and Japanese people were allowed to come at will.

Then can the Wei State still be regarded as the Wei State of the Wei people in the future?

Huang Zheng stared at Himekawa closely, including Takeshi Shingenda. They were also testing while talking...

Himekawa asked calmly: "If there is anything else, I might as well finish it all at once."

"There's one last thing."

Huang Zheng said: "That is to ask Wei to lift the ban on luxury incense and allow Nanyang merchants to sell it at will..."

"Enough!"

Chen Shenzhi spoke directly and shouted: "You are just foreign aid. You don't know whether you can defeat Daning, so you dare to make such a condition. Isn't it too much?"

"You know what extravagant incense is better than anyone else. It's not enough to make huge profits from extravagant incense. We also need to let the Wei State lift the ban and let you sell it at will. Are we, the Wei State, taking advantage of it?"

The translator beside them whispered these words.

Shinoda Xuanwu said calmly: "Without our assistance, Wei might have perished. You should be able to tell which is more serious."

"What did you say?"

"How dare you say that my country, Wei, will perish?"

A minister blew his beard and stared.

Others also shouted and cursed one after another, and Takeshi Shingenda's interpreter could not keep up, and the hall seemed in chaos.

Huang Zheng didn't look good either. He said coldly: "Emperor Wei, we have not seen your country's sincerity, or do their words represent your attitude?"

Himekawa raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then he said: "I can agree to all the conditions you mentioned!"

Every word shocked everyone.

Except for Song Taiping, everyone looked shocked.

The conditions they proposed were so harsh, and His Majesty actually agreed?

What did he think?

Not to mention anything else, just lifting the ban on luxury incense and allowing the sale of it will bring endless harm to the Wei State. By then, there may be no need to attack Daning, and the Wei State will automatically perish!

"Your Majesty, you must not agree!"

Chen Shenzhi stood up and knelt on the ground, and said angrily: "The ambition of these barbarians is even worse than that of Daning!"

"yes!"

Zhou Li, Minister of War, also stood up.

"We can fight to the death with Daning, but we can't agree to their conditions!"

Seeing Himekawa's agreement, these courtiers were very anxious and ignored the occasion to give advice.

Huang Zheng smiled and ignored others. He knew that what these people said didn't count.

"The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty is truly a great man. With our help, Wei will surely prosper and will not be afraid of Daning!"

"Don't be anxious yet."
