My Daming New Empire

He pondered for a while and said: "The land of Ezo is now our Da Ming's territory. There are only three islands in Japan. Iwami, which is rich in silver, and Zuodu Island, which is rich in gold, are all in my hands. They have no opportunity for development. What Gu wants is a site that can continuously provide labor and women for me, Daming, not a mess."

Ji Gang really couldn't figure out Zhu Zhanji's mind. I don't know why Zhu Zhanji's opinion will take a 180-degree turn after only three years.

But he knew that a unified Japan would definitely not be a good thing for him.

It is also impossible for Zhu Zhanji to tell him directly and clearly that the little prince of Dongying is now my seed.

So Zhu Zhanji just said to Ji Gang: "The little prince of Dongying is already four years old, you haven't seen him yet... I know you have had a good time these few years, go to the bank to exchange five thousand silver coins, and treat it as your fifth birthday in a few months Come on."

Ji Gang not only controls Iwami Yinshan, but is also the biggest smuggler and human trafficker in Japan. 5000 taels of silver is nothing to him.

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Ji Gang immediately understood that the problem was the little prince.

The little prince of Dongying was born in the autumn of the 15th year of Yongle. Because of the poor health of King Chengguang, the issue of the heir to the royal family of Dongying has always been a knot in the hearts of Dongying people.

When the little prince was born, all the big names in Japan cheered.

Thousands of years of strict hierarchy, although the emperor has been excluded from the sphere of power in Japan, they are veritable spiritual leaders.

Although the Japanese daimyos don't want the emperor's family to take power, they need such a fig leaf to shield them from the wind and rain.

If there is no emperor, will Ming Dynasty directly annex Japan? This is what the shogunate and daimyo are most worried about.

As long as there is an heir in the emperor's line, it will not be justifiable if Ming wants to annex Dongpu, or send a vassal king of Ming Dynasty to take over Dongpu.

"Tomorrow, I will personally go to Chengguang Palace to present congratulatory gifts."

Ji Gang made up his mind, and was going to take a good look at what he didn't know about it after leaving the palace.

Only by knowing the whole situation can we make a correct judgment.

Seeing that Ji Gang is so knowledgeable, Zhu Zhanji doesn't need to say anything more.Ji Gang is a smart person, as long as he sees the little prince, he will understand what is going on.

In fact, Zhu Zhanji is very contradictory about Dongying.

He didn't want to give Dongpu a chance to develop, but he also knew that this suppression could not last forever.

The development of Ming Dynasty will bring a huge siphon effect, and the rapid development of Ming Dynasty requires the introduction of talents.And this kind of talent circulation will also feed back the entire region after a certain period of time, allowing the entire eastern part of Asia to enter a period of rapid development.

The stricter the control now, the greater the rebound in the future, and maybe the entire Japan and Ming Dynasty will fall into a complicated subordination relationship in the future.

However, if we only strictly control Japan and leave room for them to develop, we will gain the sense of belonging of most people in Japan.

In many cases, this sense of belonging will directly affect the long-term development relationship.

After knowing that the little prince was his own species, he had a new idea, which was to design a set of development policies specifically for Japan.

It doesn't completely block their development path, but they absolutely can't let them escape from Daming's control.

In the political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, and military aspects, it has all-round control of sheep-herding.

Among them, the most critical one is that the future Dongying royal family can only marry the noble daughters of the Ming Dynasty.

The current little prince is his seed, and in the future he can only marry a noble woman from the Ming Dynasty, which ensures that the bloodline will always be the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of politics and diplomacy, Ming wants to directly influence the power of the shogunate and prevent them from getting out of control.

Culturally, Confucianism must be promoted among the people as soon as possible, so that the common people can accept the idea of ​​great unification.

Economically, Daming has now controlled their handicraft economy, import and export economy, this area must not be let go.

Coupled with the outflow of population, in the future, soldiers from Dongying will be recruited, and young girls from Dongying will be vigorously introduced to live in Daming.

Excellent Japanese talents kept flowing into Daming, and their development could not be out of Daming's control.

The rumor about the little prince of Dongying is not a secret in Yingtian Mansion. Under Zhu Di's arrangement, the characteristics of the little prince have already spread throughout Yingtian Mansion.

Ji Gang wouldn't believe that the little prince's heart is for Daming. What can a three or four year old child know?

But the fact that the little prince looks like the emperor made Ji Gang listen to it in his heart.

He asked his subordinates to exchange [-] silver coins, and on the second day, he personally sent [-] to King Chengguang's Mansion.

Today's King Chengguang has long been ignorant of world affairs. Although he has not become a complete idiot, he is still in a trance, like a three-year-old child.

Although he and the little prince are father and son, they often play together now, and the little prince still dominates.

That said, he's an idiot right now.

The first time he saw the little prince, Ji Gang immediately understood, this is not the little prince from Dongying, this is His Highness's species!

He would not think of Zhu Di. As the emperor, Zhu Di had no chance of contacting Qiu Zi at all.

Before His Highness went to sea, he had been to Prince Cheng Guang's Mansion several times.

Ji Gang saw this clearly, and naturally knew the reason why Zhu Zhanji changed his mind.Now, he had to consider how to act according to His Highness's orders without compromising his own interests.

He wants to take power and support the emperor's family, so the current shogunate has become an obstacle.

Soon, Ji Gang had an idea and decided to implement it after returning to Japan.

Since the lineage of the emperor is now His Highness's seed, it seems that there is no need for the shogunate to exist.

After returning to Dongying, he began to contact the daimyos of all parties to directly overthrow the rule of the shogunate and let the emperor's family take power.

On the day when Ji Gang returned to Yingtian Mansion, Lin San led five thousand young men and finally arrived at Beiming Mountain after spending more than half a month.

At the beginning of March, they received 1000 two hundred pallet trucks delivered by the Ministry of Industry.

Among the [-] carts, there are [-] light carts and [-] medium-sized carts, all of which are the latest models of carts sold by the Ministry of Industry. They can not only be pulled by people, but also have places for installing horse shafts.

They set off from Shandong in mid-March, pulling an empty cart, four people in a cart, and they can travel 120 miles a day.

In just a few days, they arrived in Tianjin in the north.

In Tientsin, these carts were loaded with grain, leaving only a hundred empty.At the same time, 1000 two hundred heavy draft horses were also received from here.

These draft horses are slow but heavy-loaded, making them perfect for pulling carts.

When we arrived in Peiping, the remaining [-] carriages were also filled with various weapons and gunpowder, but there were no muskets.

But everyone was still very excited, because the gunpowder was given to them, and the court would not be stingy with two hundred muskets.

After setting off from Beiping, although there were cement roads along the way, their speed slowed down.

The fully loaded trolley moves very slowly, and many times, people like them are needed to help push the trolley.

But everyone is full of hope, and with these weapons, they are not afraid of any challenge.
