Mu Sheng was a little amused and crying.

After all, he felt that the situation was hopeless. Once the war spread to Yunnan, the Mu family's nest, it would be life and death at that time.

The uncles' persuasion was nothing more than for the Mu family.

But it is not so easy to reduce it.

He shook his head, finally stood up, and said, "I want to write a book."

Then, he wrote a pen and pondered for a moment, wrote a letter, and called an uncle, and said with a bright look: "The Hao family is still a traitor after all. It would be okay to ask us to surrender, but what if one day the court prepares for war and quells the war?"

The uncles and uncles frowned.

Mu Sheng said seriously: "We are just cramming now, but we must not put all the treasures on the Hao family. You can surrender, but someone in the clan must go to Jinling immediately. The third brother Mu Ang has been idle at home. Fourth uncle, you must immediately lead a military horse. You must go back to Yunnan and wait for Guangxi to surrender, and you will quickly enter Sichuan with the third brother Mu Ang, and go to Jinling through Sichuan along the waterway. All of them are... "

Speaking of this, Mu Sheng's tone was a little heavy, and he sighed, and then said, "I surrendered to Liangshan, and I will never forgive me. My Mu family is a hero and martyr. Two generations of loyal and kindness have now rebelliously. All kinds of sins are hard to write about. Mu Ang and the fourth uncle want to destroy their relatives for justice, and they are incompatible with me. In the future... If the court can really work hard to eliminate the rioters and destroy the thieves, the Hao family and I, Mu Sheng, will die without a place to die, but the fourth uncle and the third brother can continue. At that time, you will be a model for destroying relatives for justice. As a result of the title of my father, the court will be bound to decide Yunnan, and our Mu family members will still be indispensable."

After hearing this, everyone understood what Mu Sheng meant.

This is to place bets on both ends, and neither side can be lost. Although Zhu Gaosui was at a disadvantage, he was the co-lord after all, in the Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi. Perhaps the Hao family could take advantage, but Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even the entire Jiangbei have always been the base camp of Neo-Confucianism. There, most people would never accept Chen Xue's proposal. The Hao family could win the hearts of people in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, but if they wanted to take over Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Central Plains, Shandong, and Hebei, it might not be possible.

Therefore, the Mu family must not fall head-on.

Since everyone understood Mu Sheng's intention, they stopped talking. The fourth uncle didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that if the Hao family won in the future, Mu Sheng and others would definitely be great heroes. Although he and the third brother Mu Ang were prisoners, with Mu Sheng and others here, although they were still punished, their lives would still be there.

But if the court wins, although Mu Sheng and others are rebels, they can continue with themselves and the third brother, and the Mu family can't escape. The Duke of Qian cannot escape.

He saluted solemnly, looked at his cousins ​​and Mu Sheng deeply, his eyes slightly red, and said, "Since that's the case, okay, everything is as Jing Mao said, I... have gone..."

He didn't look back and left.

No one spoke in the big tent. Everyone felt uneasy.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A few days later, a letter was delivered to Lang Son and reached Hao Zheng's hands.

Hao Zheng has not been doing well these days. He hasn't had a good sleep for a long time. He has to decide on Lang Son for many things, but fortunately everything goes smoothly.

In the past few days, he received some envoys, including a Japanese man.

These Japanese people are also ridiculous and even have the intention of extortion.

A year and a half ago, something happened in Japan. Perhaps because of the impact of Lang Son, and the unscrupulous encounter with Edo, the Lang Son fleet encountered a large amount of commercial goods, which led to severe outflow of silver in Japan. At this time, Japan was almost on the verge of collapse. On the one hand, the large outflow of silver was flowing out. On the other hand, the emergence of Lang Son's cloth and a large number of low-cost iron tools led to the bankruptcy of a large number of small handicraftsmen in Japan.

The farmland in Japan is scarce and now there are many refugees, which makes the shogunate rule of the Ashikaga family shaky.

As a result, a group of bankrupt samurai joined forces with some daimyos who had long been dissatisfied with the shogunate rule to launch a rebellion. They put forward the slogan of respecting Emperor Hinahito, demanding that the great power be returned, and determined to innovate, and demand that all imitate Western countries, set up chief ministers, establish a governing bureau, etc.

It can be said that the so-called return of the great power of Japan is almost equivalent to the so-called Chenxue rebellion of the Western countries. However, Japan has its own national conditions. Most of the strength and power of the Western countries are in the hands of the king and the sultan. Therefore, the purpose of the State Administration is to overthrow the king and the sultan. For Japan, the national power is in the hands of the general. In order to overthrow the shogunate, the so-called emperor was brought out to compete with it.

This Western trend not only affected Japan, but also succeeded. Not only did it succeed, Emperor Yanren began to "take power" and the Anti-South Sect established a bureau of governing the government, which promoted trade on the one hand and encouraged industry and commerce on the other hand.

Many things are unpredictable.

For example, in Western countries, industry and commerce are encouraged, but because it is Lang Son's back garden and workshops are all over Jiaozhi, other countries only provide primary raw materials. Because the raw materials are exported, those merchants can profit from it. This is the so-called comprador economy, which transports the goods from Jiaozhi and Lang Son to their own country to dump, and at the same time vigorously transports the materials to Lang Son and Jiaozhi for processing.

But Japan is different, but Japan is taking another path.

The most critical issue is that Japan has resources, but if the merchants there want to transport these resources to Lang Son, they are afraid that the round-trip tickets will not be enough. Since they cannot be a comprador and cannot resell resources, they think about it and seem that they have only emulated Lang Son and set up workshops.

Not to mention, although the Japanese were so handsome, they really made a mistake. Although the Japanese workshops were rough, they also looked a little bit like a copycat. Lang San had Lang San, so they tried to learn. In the past few years, many Japanese people stayed here in Lang San. Lang San had iron tools, and they also learned to train steel. However, their quality was obviously much worse, and it was far from Lang San's production scale, so the price produced was higher than Lang San. If Japan was in the West, its so-called primary workshop would have been crushed by Lang San a hundred times. And they were obviously lucky because they were far from Lang San.

Because of the distance, their products are not cheap during the production process, but compared with the cloth and ironware transported by Lang Sang and Sea, they are much cheaper. After all, in this era, the transportation cost is extremely high, let alone shipping from the Western Ocean to Japan.

In this way, a piece of Lang Sang cloth may only cost three cents of silver when shipped from Lang Sang, but when shipped to Japan, it must be sold for two taels of silver to save the profit. The Japanese cloth produced by Japan is six cents of silver when shipped from Japan, but the price they sell locally is only one tael, which is twice as low.

Not only that, these guys also transported goods to North Korea under the names of Lang Son Bu and Lang Son Iron, using inferior products as good ones. There is no quality certification in this era, and there is no need to print a trademark made by a certain person on the goods. Japan is close to North Korea, so naturally, they have gained a lot of benefits from it.

What is even more ridiculous is that the Japanese workshops have a share of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty wanted to launch troops against the Hao family, and urgently needed a large number of muskets and cannons. Of course, it was too late to build them by themselves. Sometimes they also needed to buy them, but they could not buy Lang Son's guns and cannons. What should I do?

These Japanese people had a way. They built their own cannons and muskets, claiming that they were sharp firearms coming in Lang Son and sold them to the Ming Dynasty. These guns and cannons were naturally inferior to those produced by Lang Son, but they were better than those produced by Ming Dynasty. However, the men of the Ministry of War would rather buy Japanese goods. The reason is very simple, because they are very oily and water.

Normally, if you buy real weapons from other channels, if a fire gun costs five taels of silver, then the Japanese made it by themselves, but the price is only two taels of silver, but the Japanese still offer it at five taels, and the other three taels? Of course, it is the legendary kickback.

In a sense, if you copy or not, what is not used? Anyway, you use a warrior, but the one who makes money is the one who handles it.

It is precisely because of this indulgence that the legendary Kang Shuai Fu of the Japanese people has risen magically. On the one hand, they have enough markets, and on the other hand, they have craftsmen who are more tenacious than Lang Son. In Lang Son, a craftsman often has more than two taels of silver, but the Japanese people are different. Japanese craftsmen don’t even have half the price, but work longer.

If anyone in this world is better at endurance, the Japanese are well deserved and unparalleled in the world. It is said that their ordinary labor force will be willing to sell the labor force as long as they eat two rice dumplings with small sizes a day, and they will do a day of work from five to nine. Such tenacity will make people shocked to hear it. Now that Japan's industry and commerce are booming, it is said that there are many workshops and a huge number of merchants, and it has monopolized the trade between North Korea, the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu and other places. After digging the first pot of gold, it is naturally a little unsatisfied.

Seeing this, Emperor Yanren felt that the "Central Plains" war was profitable to him, so he sent an envoy, and this time he came to Hao Zheng to form an alliance.

The general idea is that he is willing to help the Hao family, but Ryukyu, North Korea and other countries must be under the wings of the Japanese. Not only that, Japan is willing to protect Liaodong for the Hao family, so that the Hao family has no worries.
