Dominate Marvel

Not long after the Wanli Korean War in the previous dynasty, the Japanese and Japanese who were once vassals fell out with the Ming Dynasty, but after being stained with blood, back in the Tokugawa shogunate era, the Japanese and Japanese entered the stage of "isolation".

One is because the Japanese and Japanese heritage was destroyed in that battle, and they had no more power to fight against the outside world.

The second is to resist external influences.

During the Tokugawa Iemitsu era, although Japan and Japan had Nagasaki as their foreign trade center, this was basically the interests of the Japanese and Japanese nobles themselves and did not represent openness.

During this period, the Japanese and Japanese closed the country, suppressed Catholicism, excluded Western barbarians, and even caused some riots for a time.

If it were not for the fact that the Great Xia Empire's policy of sealing off the sea frontiers had harmed the interests of the Tokugawa shogunate itself, there would have been no movement in Japan and Japan.

Facing the Daxia Empire, especially the Daxia fleet that sometimes wandered in the Japanese and Japanese waters, the first reaction of the Japanese and Japanese was to expel them. But unfortunately, they failed completely.

The Yuanqi warship is definitely the most powerful maritime weapon in this era. Not to mention the Japanese and Japanese, even if the Western and Western barbarians are against each other, they will only be beaten.

After being severely punished, the Tokugawa shogunate pinched their noses and sent people to come to court.

This is also the reason why Tokugawa Mitsutomo rode on a naval battleship.

The Daxia Imperial Navy has two war zones, one in the southeast and the southern sea area. One is in Shandong, covering the northern sea area.

The Shandong Navy is divided into three branches, one in Dengzhou, Shandong, one in Dagu, and one in North Korea. Facing the Japanese and Japanese directly was the Shandong Navy Department stationed in the waters of the Korean Peninsula.

The Tokugawa shogunate failed to expel them but was bullied by this naval fleet.

Today, the navy is gradually taking shape. Not only the personnel, but also the equipment. Although the old warships have not been completely eliminated, it has reached the point where the elemental warships and the old warships are half and half. The North Korean branch alone has six large warships.

These elemental warships, wrapped in gold-yuan alloy and powered by the Octagon Tower, were fortresses that were almost impossible to destroy in this era.

Facing a fleet of this level, what can the small ships of Japan and Japan do?

The Tokugawa shogunate suffered a huge loss and suddenly changed from being arrogant to humble. They immediately sent people to contact the fleet and soon sent this tribute mission.

Ying Yi looked at the credentials of the Tokugawa shogunate, put it aside with confidence, and then said to Tokugawa Mitsutomo, who was kneeling to His Highness: "Get back on your feet."

"Thank you Da Xia Zi!"

Tokugawa Mitsutomo bowed again, then stood up and stood respectfully.

As a member of the Zhuxia civilization circle, Japan and Japan have been influenced by Zhuxia for thousands of years. Whether it's writing, language, or culture, it's all the same.

As for Tokugawa Mitsutomo's clothes, although they have the characteristics of the Japanese country itself, they are also very close to the clothes of the officials of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Very fat round-neck robe, loose belt, and high erect crown.

Tokugawa Mitsutomo was very young, just in his twenties. Not tall - Speaking of Japanese and Japanese people, from ancient times to the present, body shape has no advantage.

He looked humble, and his every move showed a rigidity, great etiquette, and meticulousness.

He speaks Mandarin Chinese very fluently. It is said that in this era, there are no high-level officials in the countries surrounding China who cannot speak Chinese and do not understand Chinese etiquette.

For example, North Korea has been annexed by Ying Yi, the Japanese and Japanese, and the countries on the South Vietnam Peninsula. This is the case.

Historically, when China was strong, it was like a huge magnetic core, and everything exerted a huge attraction on its surroundings.

The surrounding vassal states, large and small, all took pride in speaking about Chinese culture and respected Han culture.

Many thoughts of Confucianism and many behaviors of Chinese people are the goals they strive to imitate.

Therefore, Ying Yi did not find it strange that Tokugawa Mitsutomo behaved like this.

"Your name is Tokugawa Mitsutomo? What is your relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

As far as Ying Yi himself is concerned, he probably only knows one Tokugawa Ieyasu. Because this person was probably the most famous in the time and space before he traveled through time.

Tokugawa Mitsutomo said respectfully: "Your Majesty, that is a great general who conquered the barbarians."

"A generation?" Ying Yi nodded slightly: "So Tokugawa Ieyasu is dead? What about Tokugawa Iemitsu?"

Tokugawa Mitsutomo said: "Your Majesty is wise. The contemporary general who conquered the barbarians is Tokugawa Iemitsu, the foreign minister's father-in-law, and the third generation shogun."

"The third generation?"

Ying Yi understood clearly.

Said: "I have read the Tokugawa Iemitsu's official letter. I already know your purpose of coming. Although the matter here is not serious, it cannot be solved in a short time."

"Please give me the emperor's instructions." Tokugawa Mitsutomo bowed.

Ying Yi said: "My Great Xia was established at the beginning and is still in a stable state. But when the Ming Dynasty in the previous dynasty was weak, the Xia Dynasty could not declare its power, so pirates and bandits were infested along the coast, and the Western and Western barbarians could come and go freely. The Western barbarian countries were not What a good route. I had bad encounters with the previous dynasty and occupied my territory. Although it has been recovered, it must be guarded against. Therefore, the navy was ordered to seal the territory, but I never thought about affecting the Japanese. Here is The national affairs cannot be changed easily. I will not grant Tokugawa Iemitsu's request."

When Tokugawa Mitsutomo heard this, his heart froze and he hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, please listen to what the foreign minister has to say."

Ying Yi said: "What do you have to say?"

Tokugawa Mitsutomo said: "The ones your Majesty is worried about are nothing more than bandits and white-skinned people. What impact will it have on trade with our country? The request of our country's general to conquer the barbarians is not a request for your majesty to change the country's affairs, but only to allow the two parties to do so." It only requires free trade between the two countries. It only involves the northern seas, and it does not involve white skins or bandits."

He added: "Now that Korea has returned to the clan, Your Majesty can set up a port in Korea for trade with foreign ministers. It is both simple and profitable. Why not do it?"

"How bold is it for Chuo'er, a small country?" At this time, Huang Zongxi, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was sitting quietly beside him, stood up and scolded: "A mere foreign minister, a mediocre person, dare to teach the Holy Emperor about administration?"

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please beat this man out to punish him for the crime of disrespect!"

When Tokugawa Mitsutomo heard this, he immediately knew where he had made a mistake. His face turned pale for a moment and he was speechless. But his deputy quickly fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Ying Yi waved his hand and said, "Since you are a small foreign minister, why does Huang Qing need to investigate further?"

Said: "Tokugawa Mitsuyo, I won't grant what Tokugawa Iemitsu wants. Please step back."

After repelling the Japanese envoys, Ying Yi smiled and said to Huang Zongxi: "The navy has locked up the territory, and Tokugawa's interests have been harmed. I came here in such a hurry, but I didn't know that I had a plan."

It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites to receive foreign guests, so today it was Huang Zongxi who brought the envoy to see Ying Yi. Huang Zongxi certainly knew what Ying Yi was thinking.

Although there are some complaints in my heart, I think that since the emperor has unified China, he should restrain his hands and feet to improve internal affairs, and should not go into military force and spy on the surrounding areas. But we also know that the emperor's will has been decided and there is absolutely no possibility of changing it.

Said: "The Japanese and Japanese adopted customs and culture, and learned more from China."

That's it dryly.

Ying Yi laughed and said, "That's why I want him to return to the clan."

Then he said: "Tokugawa Mitsutomo will not be reconciled to the entrustment of Tokugawa Iemitsu. I predict that in the next few days, he will visit the ministers of the DPRK and China."

Huang Zongxi deeply agreed: "Your Majesty's intention..."

Ying Yi said: "If the Tokugawa shogunate is willing to cede Tsushima, it may be allowed."

Huang Zongxi sighed secretly and bowed: "I obey your Majesty's order."
