Nanyan blinked: "Then, what is the second message?"

Zhu Feng said: "The second message is that he wants to get along with the Great Yan Dynasty."

"ah?"

This "message" surprised Nanyan. She said: "He wrote a letter to praise the emperor, which can also be said to be diplomatic rhetoric. Besides, this letter also tactfully stated that the Japanese pirates had nothing to do with them, but where did the emperor see that he wanted to have a good relationship with the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Zhu Feng said: "He called himself a 'member' in his letter."

"ah?!"

This shocked Nan Yan.

Even though she only heard the name Yoshino today, and even though she didn't know much about the situation in Japan, the principle of one servant not serving two masters should be universal.

Since this Adachi Yoshino is the emperor's general, or the minister, he naturally cannot surrender to others.

However, he called himself a "member" in the letter presented to Zhu Feng.

This is probably more important than the information that harassing the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast has nothing to do with them.

Nan Yan said: "Master, he, what does he mean?"

Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "I also want to know what he means."

“…”

"Or, let's think about it together."

When Nanyan heard this, he became energetic. He even made two cups of tea and delivered it to Zhu Feng. He also held a cup of warm fingertips in his hand.

Zhu Fengxian said: "It is bound to be beneficial to one person to do something. If he wants to surrender to me, it will not be of any benefit to his identity as a general."

“Not only is there no benefit, it is harmful.”

Nan Yan continued: "One servant will not serve the two masters. As such an important person in Japan, he will be regarded as a traitor in his own country."

Zhu Feng nodded after hearing this.

“It makes sense.”

"So, what kind of interests are there? Compared to this, everything else can make him care about?"

“…”

Speaking of this, Zhu Feng frowned, suddenly picked up Yoshino Adachi's letter, opened it and read it again.

Nan Yan looked aside and asked softly, "What did the emperor see?"

Zhu Feng's eyes were still staring at the lines of words on the paper, and slowly said: "Although this person's letters are simple, they do not sell their country and seek honor in their words, and they are sly and despicable."

“…”

"A person who has achieved this position has a more important mind than a means."

"oh……?"

"So if he doesn't have the intention to sell his country and seek honor, he will probably have another thought."

"What's the point?"

"Plan for the benefit of your country."

"National interests?"

Nan Yan opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhu Feng's letter in his hand. He suddenly understood what he had come to him: "The emperor means that although he wrote this letter, although it was suspected of selling his country for himself, it was good for Japan."

"good."

Zhu Feng nodded, with a sneer in his eyes: "I sent someone to retrace the Northwest Silk Road and open the coastal defense of the southeast coast to rebuild the tribute system that year. This is exactly what I want."

Nan Yan was even more strange: "Does the emperor say he wants to pay tribute to the Great Yan Dynasty?"

"Even if he doesn't want to, if he asks me, I have to let him think."

Nan Yan's mind was even more messy.

He said: "The Emperor is willing to bear the charge of selling the country and seeking honor. What exactly does he demand? Why should he pay tribute to the emperor?"

Zhu Feng said: "You still remember what I told you just now. Even if Japan is so small, there are still mountains in the country. Even in some places, he, as a general, cannot control his jurisdiction."

"yes."

"As the supreme ruler of secular power, as long as he is a normal person, will he want to uniformly subdue these forces?"

"certainly?"

Speaking of this, Nanyan suddenly bounced off the chair: "Does he want to use the deterrence power of the Great Yan Dynasty to unify Japan?"

Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's great to be on the big tree to enjoy the cool air, and everyone will think so."

Nan Yan took a deep breath, held the armrest of the chair, and slowly sat back.

"So that's what it is..."

She felt a little moved, as if she didn't know what to say, and she was quiet for a while before she whispered: "In order to complete the unity of her country, she paid tribute to another great power, this..."

Zhu Feng looked at her and smiled and said, "It's hard for you to accept?"

Nan Yan hesitated for a long time and whispered: "It's unimaginable."

Zhu Feng chuckled and said slowly: "Although there are great difficulties, a country would rather be too big and difficult to manage than to be too small and want nothing, otherwise many things will be in control."

“…”

"Sometimes, it's not just a country, but just about being a human being."

Nanyan nodded gently.

"I understand."

After saying that, she looked up at Zhu Feng again: "If Adachi Yoshio has such a thought, then how will the emperor plan to deal with it?"

Zhu Feng said, "I have just said my thoughts."

"just?"

Nan Yan recalled for a moment and immediately understood: "The emperor wanted to rebuild the past countries to come to court, so he would accept his tribute."

Zhu Feng nodded and continued, "But this is the benefit we give him."

Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.

It is a benefit to pay tribute to other countries, which sounds a bit incredible, but it is probably not uncommon for such strange things to be experienced in the interactions between countries.

Nan Yan said: "Of course, the emperor will not give him benefits in vain, will he?"

"certainly,"

Zhu Feng said: "Countries should be trustworthy, but they should not just trustworthy. The Great Yan Dynasty was a great country, but not a sucker."

Nan Yan asked, "What price should the emperor pay?"

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "What are the problems we are facing now? Let them solve them, right?"

"ah!"

Nanyan suddenly realized it and came over and stared at Zhu Feng with his eyes shiny: "What the emperor means is to let this Adachi Yoshio deal with those Japanese pirates as his Japanese general?"

"Yes, if he can deal with these Japanese pirates, he will be a meritorious to this dynasty, and I will naturally accept his tribute."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's great. We don't need a soldier or a soldier, we just let them fight. This can not only weaken their strength, but also win the tribute of a vassal state. This is a trick of killing two birds with one stone."

Zhu Feng put away the two letters, put them back in the box, and said slowly: "I will issue an order tomorrow."

“…”

"It depends on whether this Adachi Yoshino is capable at that time. If he can really wipe out those Japanese pirates, I will enthrone him as the 'King of Japan'!"
