Domineering Daming

Chapter 1402 Japanese people are very useful

The Ming court's division of the Wa Kingdom, now known as Suihai Province, quickly came to an end. As domestic reforms became increasingly tense, various departments seemed to have found an outlet, and government orders were issued quickly as if they were effortless, and then passed through the cabinet. come out.

The Chaobao ran at full speed, and for ten days it was full of reports on all aspects of the imperial court's conquest of the Japanese kingdom, especially the new version of the map, which was expanded like never before, and the layout covered the endless and unfamiliar land in the north of the Ming Dynasty, including the sea, as if it were endless The island, followed by Annan, Phnom Penh (Cambodia), is unimaginably large.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but after looking at it, even some high-ranking court officials are in a trance, unconsciously, does Daming have such a large territory?

This aroused considerable excitement among the people, and for a while there was a clamor for Zhu Xu's praises, covering up all the noise.

Some veteran officials in the Wanli period, especially some military generals who had already retired, were filled with tears. They passed through the Grand Marshal's Mansion and asked Zhu Xu to be honored to show their merits and comfort Emperor Shenzong.

This title is 28 characters long, in short it is: Emperor Shengdemaowu.

This incident caused some discussions in the court, who believed that Zhu Xu should have a more prominent holy title, so as to match his martial arts and martial arts. , Wang Qiaonian couldn't help but write a letter.

The final result is that Zhu Xu's sentence ends.

"Is it because I am very happy with the merits, or are you willing to ask for credits and rewards?"

The court was blocked by this sentence and couldn't say a word, and it was uncomfortable to hold back, so this matter was nothing.

There were still rumors in the background, accusing the court of going to war at this time, wasting money and food, and going to war was just to satisfy the emperor's ambition, but it didn't know how many soldiers and victims were killed.

Regarding these, Zhu Xu only mentioned in his reply to the memorabilia of Chen Qiyu, the governor of Nanzhili: it is too early to discuss merits and demerits, and we will look at it in three or five years.

But this incident really greatly inspired the morale of the Ming Dynasty in a state of exhaustion caused by natural disasters and the "New Deal".

Among the government and the opposition, there was even a voice gradually appearing, that is to crusade against Burma and to use the humiliation of being invaded during the Wanli period.

This kind of voice is very popular. Some big figures in the ruling and opposition parties believe that this war can divert domestic attention and relieve the pressure of natural disasters and reforms.

Fortunately, Sun Chuanting and others still had reason and were not swayed by such voices. They expressed their attitude at the first time. In the next two to three years, the cabinet was determined to promote the "New Deal" and would not wage war again.

All in all, because of the annexation of the Wa Kingdom, the morale of the Ming Dynasty was greatly boosted, and the ruling and opposition parties were surging.

For more than ten days, the cabinet focused on dealing with the aftermath of the Wa kingdom. At the beginning of October, Zhou Yingqiu, the special envoy of the Qianqing Palace and an assistant minister of the cabinet, boarded a ship in Tianjin Wei, went to Tsushima Island, and then took a navy ship to Edo.

At this time, Yang Sichang was already in Edo, and he was sorting out the Wa country, whether it was surrender, uprising, or self-care participation in the downfall, they all had to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the end.

Among them, there are some people who can see the general situation clearly and obediently surrender their military power, but naturally there are also those who are stubborn and need to be conquered by force.

In addition to the need to control the more than [-] troops who surrendered and rebelled, Yang Sichang, Dorgon and others really took a lot of effort.

When Zhou Yingqiu set off from Tsushima Island, Yang Sichang, Dorgon, Badalie, Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Date Masamune and others sent off Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi at Edo Neihu.

Xingzi was dressed in a kimono, surrounded by a group of court ladies, and behind him were Daming's military guards, and on the lake was Daming's navy. Cao Bianjiao had already landed, waiting quietly.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna stood in front of Xingzi with a complex expression, but still respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the survival of the Japanese country depends on you, please take care!"

Xingzi's pretty face was even more complicated. Too many things happened in just one month, and she still couldn't cope.

Next to Xingzi was her mother Kazuko, the empress of Emperor Gomizuo was really lucky, not only did she not die, she was not even seriously injured, she was already half recovered.

She stood beside Xingzi, gently pulling Xingzi's arm.Hezi is also going to Daming with him, but it would be better if his expression is calm.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna hesitated for a moment, and still whispered: "Your Majesty, we are still fighting with the Ming Dynasty. If you can keep your emperor title, the Wa Kingdom will still exist. You, please work hard!"

The meaning of Matsudaira Nobuzuna is very clear, that is to rely on Xingzi to go to Daming to win the favor of the Emperor of Ming.

Xingzi pursed his lips, his heart was complicated and difficult to understand, and he said softly: "I know."

Matsudaira Nobuzuna didn't dare to say more, and slowly backed away.

"Upload it." Hezi said in a low voice.

Xingzi looked in the direction of Edo again, there was still green smoke rising there, and it had not been cleaned up after such a long time, and it was no longer the Luoyang in her previous impression.

She didn't look at Matsudaira Nobuzuna and others. These people who were familiar with strangers in the past are really strangers now.

Xingzi finally boarded the ship, and under the personal protection of Cao Bianjiao, he sailed to sea and returned to Beijing.

Zhou Yingqiu did not go by water, but went ashore in the Guanmen Strait, escorted by Li Dingguo all the way to Edo.

He is an imperial envoy, and it stands to reason that he should hurry up, but in fact, he is not watching from above, and is conducting on-the-spot observations around the country.

Because there is no post station and the road is not good, they stop and go, and they are slower.

The carriage was rickety, Zhou Yingqiu looked at Li Dingguo who was riding the horse, and said: "There is no cement road, no official road, no post station, the country of Wa really needs to be reformed."

If you have something that you don't have, it means you can make a lot of money.Zhou Yingqiu is a pragmatic and self-interested person. He has seen how much money the cabinet can make in Japan and put it into the treasury.

Li Dingguo leaned slightly, indicating that he was listening.

Zhou Yingqiu was very curious about Sun Chengzong's closed disciple, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly said: "I heard that you were introduced by the emperor to Elder Sun Ge?"

Li Dingguo said: "To be precise, it is Princess Yongning."

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Li Dingguo's face, thought about his age, smiled knowingly, and said nothing more.

Li Dingguo has been in the army for many years, he doesn't like to talk, and if Zhou Yingqiu doesn't open his mouth, he won't talk to him either.

But immediately Li Dingguo raised his head sharply and said: "My lord, sit down for a while, it should be another group of gangsters gathered together, and they will come as soon as they go."

Zhou Yingqiu's expression was normal, and he was sitting in the carriage, calm as usual.

I don't know how many waves this has been. The order of the Wa country has been destroyed, and the new order has not been established. The Wa country is now in chaos.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Dingguo went and returned, saying: "My lord, I have already driven away, you can continue on the road."

Zhou Yingqiu said "Yes", and then said with emotion: "The population of the Wa Kingdom is too large, we have to send some out."

Li Dingguo glanced at him and didn't say much.

Li Dingguo has heard that Zhou Yingqiu suggested in the cabinet to exile some disobedient people from Wa Kingdom to the south of Luzon.

It is said that the United Fleet discovered a large deserted island there a few years ago, with some barbarians on it, and there is not even an official country.

The United Fleet has built several strongholds, and more and more merchant ships are coming and going, but the manpower is still too small, and a large number of land reclamation people are needed.

Obviously, Zhou Yingqiu thought that these Wa people were very suitable.

Chapter 1403 Passing the Decree to the Kingdom of Wa

Zhou Yingqiu soon arrived in Edo, and he was not in a hurry to announce the decree. Instead, he first had secret talks with Yang Sichang, Dorgon, Zuo Liangyu, even Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Date Masamune and others, and then received various people from the Japanese kingdom. They all ran around in Edo, and gradually figured out the current situation in Edo.

On the fourth night, Zhou Yingqiu and Yang Sichang sat opposite each other, drinking while watching the moonlight.

Yang Sichang is a literati who came from the Wanli period. Although he is now a giant and a feudal official with a heavy army in his hands, he is still quite humble to the cabinet ministers and dare not make mistakes.
