Chongzhen Undergraduates

For the first time when Ming came into contact with the Americas, he did not go to the South Pacific, but chose the Bering Strait, which is difficult to go in the eyes of ordinary people.Some people will say, why not take the route of the Spaniards?Zhu Youjian thought that the person who said this may not know how big the Pacific Ocean is.When you compare the distance between Ming Dynasty and the Pacific Ocean between America and the distance between Europe and America's Atlantic Ocean, you won't say that.

Besides, why Zhu Youjian chose to log in in North America first is not an American plot, but the current west coast of North America, where there are no European colonists, and the west coast of North America is the closest.Taking advantage of the summer time, sailing along the archipelago to North America is the safest route.Even if it is an adventure, Zhu Youjian also hopes that the people he sent out can come back as safely as possible.

Ten days later, in a snowstorm, under the escort of two typical Ming Navy warships, three large ships slowly sailed into the harbor pier of Vladivostok.The moment they docked, the two warships fired at the guns on the sea side.Of course it was blank.

"Boom! Boom! Boom" The time between the naval guns was relatively slow, but the sound was still very loud.

Tagawa Jiro never thought that he would receive such courtesy. According to this etiquette, his treatment was higher than that of Zheng Chenggong.If the Emperor Ming welcomed him with such great courtesy, either he was really important, or he had other plans.

Did Tagawa Jiro think too much, or did Zhu Youjian really have other thoughts?

As the emperor Zhu Youjian, the headquarters should go to the pier to meet Tagawa Jiro in person, but Zhu Youjian came and stood directly at the front of the pier, which is completely inappropriate.

Zhu Youjian stood at the front of the team, followed by the young Xia Wanchun, followed by Yu Dahai, the fleet commander, and then followed by a long team of officials.

A group of young people were standing on the deck. They were definitely not the first to disembark, which was also a rule.However, the guard of honor greeted by the shore still made these young people very excited.The Emperor of Ming greeted them personally, and even few generals who had won battles received them.

What does this mean?This shows that Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to exploration, or the emperor of Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the place called North America that they have been to.Anyone with a little brain should be able to guess from this event that anyone who goes to North America by sea in the future will definitely be valued by the emperor.Even Nanyang, which was included in the territory, was not valued so much by the emperor.

Young people who can understand this level are considered young talents, but Tagawa Jiro is different. After all, he is the helm of the Zheng family in Edo, and his political vision must be higher than these young people.

Tagawa Jiro stayed in the cabin, still not daring to disembark, he just took a peek at the battle on the shore, and was terrified.Something must have happened to disembark, but is it possible not to disembark?

The ceremonies and music on the shore were still going on, the emperor of Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian had stood for a while, some officials behind the emperor began to whisper, even if you Tian Chuan are Japanese, you can’t neglect my emperor of Ming Dynasty like this.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go up and urge me?" Yu Dahai asked quietly behind Zhu Youjian with a dark face.Zhu Youjian turned his head and glared at Yu Dahai, scaring Yu Dahai enough.

Finally, Tagawa Jiro came out, and he was still wearing a typical Japanese dress. Other officials of Ming Dynasty were a little angry when they saw it, but Zhu Youjian smiled crookedly when he saw it.

Obviously, Tagawa Jiro also realized that Zhu Youjian must have a crooked trick. He changed the Japanese dress because he was afraid that Zhu Youjian would use the Ming Dynasty's legal principles to set him up. He wanted to tell Zhu Youjian clearly that I, Tagawa Jiro, are still Japanese. .

When Jiro Tagawa stepped onto the shore, what greeted him was neither a hug nor a handshake, nor was it asking him to kneel down and so on.In an instant, the long incense case was carried from behind by two soldiers to the front of Zhu Youjian. Jiro Tagawa was taken aback, what is this for?

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: Great China, heroes come forth in large numbers; today there is Tagawa Jiro, the son of Nan'an Bo of the Great Ming Dynasty, who has made outstanding contributions and is a role model for the world"

While Xia Wanchun was reading the imperial decree, Tagawa Jiro was dizzy while he was completely confused.Even if you want to praise Zheng's family, shouldn't you praise his brother Zheng Chenggong?How did you catch him boasting?

Chapter 633: Cactus

When Jiro Tagawa heard that he was a native of the Japanese country in the imperial decree, he immediately felt something was wrong.Why did the Ming emperor explicitly write a person of foreign origin in the imperial decree?Even if it is a reward, it should be admitted to the Ming nationality first.

Sure enough, the content of the following imperial decree scared Jiro Tagawa.Zhu Youjian, Emperor of Ming Dynasty, canonized Tagawa Jiro as Lord of Hokkaido.

What's the meaning?It means that Zhu Youjian replaced the emperor of Japan, dismembered the country of Japan, and shamelessly awarded Hokkaido to Jiro Tagawa.In fact, it is equivalent to rewarding the Zheng family, which is a blatant act of overstepping.

Why did Zhu Youjian do this? First, Zhu Youjian has no reward for the Zheng family.Zheng Chenggong actually wanted Taiwan, but Zhu Youjian couldn't give it to me. Every Chinese understands this.

In the eyes of many people, how important is the island of Taiwan, which has just begun to be developed, how can Zhu Youjian not know.Taiwan is the gateway to the mainland, stuck at the throat of the mainland to the east.

Second, Zhu Youjian is definitely worried about Japan.No matter how powerful Daming is, the most effective way to deal with the Japanese nation is to dismember it.

Some people say that troops should be sent to Japan's home island for revenge.There is nothing to discuss about this issue, as long as you like this point of view, just do it.

The inherent characteristics of the Yamato nation are not easy to change. Unless you smooth it out, it will be difficult to correct it.The Japanese are polite on the surface, but the perverted nature behind it, when did it change?

In order to prevent the rise of Japan, it can only be dismembered and split. One or two of them must become the direct foreign countries of Ming Dynasty and be completely Sinicized.

The Ryukyu Kingdom itself is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian believes that one Ryukyu is not enough, and it is best to form four countries from the four islands of Japan.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian's first step is to entrust Hokkaido, which has the smallest population but is now closest to Daming, to Jiro Tagawa.

Because there is a war in Japan now, many people also want to find a place to escape, and Tagawa Jiro is Japanese, Zhu Youjian is tantamount to letting Japan and the Zheng family fight.

If Tagawa Jiro admits that he is from the Ming Dynasty, this matter is still unreasonable. The silly Tagawa Jiro was awarded the title in a kimono, and Zhu Youjian almost smiled crookedly.

On the shore, all the Japanese coolies saw this scene. Basically, Tagawa Jiro relied on Daming's support to split Hokkaido and establish his own family.

Tagawa Jiro knew that he couldn't escape, he even knew that even if Zheng Zhilong heard the news, he would bend over with a smile.The Zheng family is equivalent to having a fief and establishing a country. This is a glorious lintel.

If Tagawa Jiro didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to go back to both Daming and Zheng's family.If he accepted the imperial decree, then he would be an enemy of the emperor from then on.As for the Tokugawa family, Tagawa Jiro was really not afraid.

"My minister accepts the order!" Finally, Jiro Tagawa accepted the order, because he felt that since Daming had promised not to participate in the war against the Japanese, the Hokkaido ruler was a false name.

The big deal is not to go back to the Wa Kingdom, anyway, there are no people, no official army, and a bare-handed commander, so what are you afraid of.

"Quickly, give the king a seal." Seeing that Tagawa Jiro agreed, Zhu Youjian spoke quickly, and he wished he could let Tagawa Jiro wear the royal robe now.

Xia Wanchun really understood Zhu Youjian's thoughts, and saw the young man waved his hand, and a group of Japanese women walked in a file, even the clothes were kimonos.The addition of this group of maids immediately made Tagawa Jiro look more like a lord of the country, and it looked like he had brought his own entourage.

"Please change the clothes, the Lord." Xia Wanchun sang loudly, and the Japanese women began to pick Tian Chuanjiro's clothes.

"This can't be done, can't be done." Tagawa Jiro repeatedly avoided.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese women were not willing to give up, and they dressed Tagawa Jiro as the head of a Ming Dynasty vassal state in a few seconds.

"Follow the sky, the emperor's edict said..."

Before Jiro Tagawa could stand still, the second edict began to be read again.The general idea of ​​the imperial decree is that Ming will not interfere in the internal affairs of equal countries on the basis of equality and friendship, except for the direct vassal states that have professed their vassals to Ming.

For example, North Korea and the Ryukyu Kingdom are all vassal states that directly seek protection from Da Ming. Da Ming has to intervene in the internal affairs of these countries, and the rules cannot be broken.But the Wa Kingdom, because it was too arrogant, did not admit that it was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty did not care about the state affairs of the Wa Kingdom.

Secondly, since Daming intervenes in the state affairs of the subordinate state, then Daming has the right to protect the subordinate state.If a foreign country bullies Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will send troops to help.However, if Ming's vassal states bully foreign countries, Ming will ignore it unless necessary.

This is unreasonable!

It is equivalent to the fact that the vassal states are second-class citizens of Ming Dynasty, while other countries are third-class citizens in Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese living in Vladivostok know that their status is not as good as that of the Koreans.They don't expect to be treated like the Ming people, they only want to be equal to the North Koreans.

People have pursuits, and now there is such a good opportunity to improve their status, these Japanese people can not be happy and cherish it, this is why a group of Japanese women love to serve Japanese women.

Tagawa Jiro never thought that he already had the first batch of subjects, and there were quite a few of them.

Even if he wants to evade it now, it's a done deal and cannot be undone.

"Stay in Vladivostok with peace of mind, and don't rush back to Hokkaido. This general has already helped you recruit the Imperial Forest Army of Hokkaido, and you will choose from the Japanese laborers who entered Vladivostok. As for the funds, the North Korean king has already paid for it."

Yu Dahai said with a straight face that his expression did not look like a general at all, but he looked like a profiteer.Tagawa Jiro really wanted to get rid of Yu Dahai who was hooking his shoulders, and he felt sick in his heart.

Why is this money paid by the leader of North Korea?Because North Korea was eager to ask them to fight the war between the Japanese countries, they paid some money to arm the Japanese people for civil strife. Of course, they paid for the money.

However, Daming still did not directly participate in the war against the Japanese, but only raised the possibility of domestic turmoil in the Japanese.

After the superficial drama is over, Tagawa Jiro still has to report the results of the scientific examination to Zhu Youjian.

When Tian Chuan ordered people to carry a few pots of huge cactus that had been frozen into a transparent shape, the cactus had already turned into popsicles, limp as if scalded by boiling water.

"I know you have arrived in Mexico." Zhu Youjian understood Tagawa Jiro's intention at the first sight of the cactus.
