Japan killed the ming envoys, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to attack Japan, Liu Bowen: small countries are not worthy of Daming's conquest

Japan has never been a worrying country, the historical Japan is humble and courteous to China, countless times sent envoys to the mainland to learn advanced cultural and social systems, it can be said that it is a very humble and diligent student, but it is such a humble student, in the end, betrayed China. As we all know, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang listed Japan as a "country without conquest" and wrote it into the "Imperial Ming Ancestral Precepts" to warn future generations to do the same.

The answer is no, on the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang is most disgusted with Japan. The arrogance and rudeness of the Japanese were indirect reasons, and the direct cause was that, in view of the repeated invasions of the southeastern coastal counties by the Wokou, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Yang Zai to Japan and gave him a seal to condemn his crimes. The Japanese, with a sense of vigilance and contempt for the Chinese envoys, killed five of the emissaries on the spot and detained Yang Zai and two others for three months before being released. The lord of China was so ridiculed by yidi small countries that it was strange that Japan did not become the country that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang hated the most.

Zhu Yuanzhang had plans to send troops to Japan at that time, but Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Bowen's words and did not mobilize troops for a long time. Finally, why japan is defined as one that will never attack the country. Liu Bowen felt that the Japanese had invaded the territory for many years, but the position was unique, surrounded by the sea, which was not good for the Ming Dynasty to attack, and the risk of failure was great. Moreover, to conquer a country, it is not enough to occupy the land by force, and the Japanese people are not civilized, so such a country is not worthy of daming to conquer, which means that the Uighur state will survive and die on its own.

Zhu Yuanzhang really makes sense when he hears this, Japan has few people and scarce resources, even if they occupy them, they cannot get any benefits, and they cannot bring us any economic value, so the value of attacking is not large, and it is better to spend a lot of money to capture this island country, it is better to let some soldiers calm these troublemakers. Based on this understanding, although Zhu Yuanzhang was "very angry with Japan", he finally showed the style of an excellent politician and calmed down. Because of the fear that future generations would "pat their heads" and attack Japan and damage the national strength, they made the decision not to conquer Japan!

Looking back at Liu Bowen's views at that time, it is undoubtedly very correct. Throughout history, Japan has invaded the mainland, even when it was super powerful. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's order was accurate, so for two hundred and sixty years, there was no idea that even one emperor had ever fought japan! Liu Bowen's suggestion was confirmed in several subsequent wars, and no matter how fast and arrogant the japanese nation rose, it could not escape the fate of insufficient stamina in the end.
