Beiyang new warlord

Within two days, Kyushu Island, Saga Domain, and Saga Castle.

It was almost the same scene, those Saga feudal vassals with shaved heads and samurai swords were all frowning. flowed down.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Song Xiance's big head also pretended to be the same, and asked arrogantly.

"Nabeshima House Governor, have you thought about it? Is it Toyotomi or Tokugawa?"

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, this Mao Jue is still sharpening his knife on Jeju Island, with just one mouth, Song Xiance drew him an army of more than 7000, and the main feudal clans on Kyushu Island For example, the Satsuma clan of the Shimadzu family, the Saga clan of the Nabeshima family, and the Kumamoto clan of the Kuroda family have regained the atmosphere of the Warring States Period in Japan. On the roads of the entire Kyushu Island, there are densely packed groups of samurai legions marching, carrying Armed with a Japanese-style long spear and a samurai sword in his waist, the mighty Xiangyang country gathered.

Here, it is the territory of two unlucky people. The Matsudaira family's Funai clan and Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law, and Arima Naosum's Nobeoka clan. This can be regarded as the core force of the Tokugawa shogunate on Kyushu Island. family, not only to remove two nails, but more importantly, tie Xiguo Daming, who was not too friendly to the Tokugawa family, to this chariot covered with the shell of the Toyotomi family.

To be honest, Mao Jue didn't expect them to be much stronger than the Maoli army on Nangong Mountain, but in the decisive battle, it was enough to stand behind him and wave the flag, and Dongjiang's legion would use iron and blood to strengthen this salary Determination.

On January [-]th, the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Kuroda family's army also marched southward from Fukuoka City. Unlike other feudal clans, Kuroda Toshinaga, who led the army, was full of excitement and fighting. He was captured in the last battle of Nagasaki, and he had already taken refuge with Mao Jue. Now that he can return to the Kuroda family and lead the Kuroda family warriors to serve Dongjiang again, it is simply the pinnacle of his career. In the neck of the daimyo under the command of the Tokugawa family.

But on the other side, more than a dozen Japanese ships quietly went out to sea in Fukuoka Domain. A dozen boxes were stacked in the cabin, each of which was full of jewels. Mr. Song, Dongjiang's special envoy, was full of sadness and sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I just finished being a grandfather, and now I'm a grandson!"

The direction of the ship's travel, bypassing the war-torn Maori sea area, turned out to be all the way north, heading towards the hinterland deep in the shogunate.

Chapter 278. Clothes Order

Known as the one body of all generations, the royal family passed down from ancient times, the lineage of the Emperor of Japan is really the only one in the world, and has never been changed.

But if you want to say which royal family is the most aggrieved, it must belong to the Japanese royal family. For more than 700 years, three shogunate governments, more than 100 years of troubled times, and decades of Southern and Northern Dynasties, the power of the royal family was stripped away. The territory of more than 3000 million stones in the country was only occupied by the emperor. Fifty thousand stones, a lot of land near Kyoto still belongs to the shogunate, especially in Liuboluo near Kyoto, the shogunate also set up a Liuboluo investigation team to monitor the royal family there.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, the old fox, specially customized "Forbidden and Public Laws", which clearly stipulates from the legal principle that the mission of the emperor's family is to chant scriptures and recite Buddha, and continue the blood of Amaterasu Omisami. To put it simply, As long as you are alive, it is simply called raising pigs.

And it’s still a lean pig! See what life is like for Daming Fu Wang, and see how you have to think twice about adding a dish. I guess the royal family of the Japanese country wants to cry.

Under such circumstances, the royal family had to be sneaky when they received a "small merchant".

Wakayama.

Needless to say, being poor is poor, and the poor also have their own way of playing. This royal palace is also elegant enough. The fence around the edge is completely made of pruned green bamboos, which are well-proportioned and not too obtrusive. The bamboo building and the blue roof tiles are all made of green bamboos one by one. The green swallow bamboo reveals an ancient style and ancient charm, which is especially suitable for the appetite of boring literati like Song Xiance.

The only problem, it's so fucking cold!

Even on the big Dongjiang ship, there is a special iron and steel coal-making furnace room, and lead pipes are used to connect the main living areas, sailors' bedrooms, and barracks at the bottom of the ship. It's [-] degrees, so you don't have to do it, it's good here, before Song Xiance finished admiring it, he had already been frozen into a grandson.

No wonder the Japanese were willing to sit on their knees, and they just huddled into a ball. There was a stone pond burning in the middle of the room, and they hid their clothes behind their backs. Stretched into the firepit.

After roasting for five or six minutes, the more it roasted, the colder it became. He was no longer in the mood to appreciate the snow scene, and Song Xiance began to mutter uncleanly.

But there was still no movement, just left him in the air for more than 40 minutes, his lips were frozen white, a effeminate old servant in a tall hat and long blue robe crawled over and crawled at the door Knelt down on the ground.

"Lord Song, the emperor summoned you!"

It has to be said that the Japanese learned from China several times in history, from the envoys sent to Tang in the Tang Dynasty to the ferry boats in the Song Dynasty, even the words were mixed with a large number of Chinese characters, but there was only one system that they did not learn, and that was the eunuch system.

But it’s not a noble reason, it’s entirely a technical reason. The technology of the gelding first came from the livestock. Except for raising a small amount of cattle and horses in Japan, there was basically no animal husbandry in Japan, and the technology was not introduced. Moreover, the emperor only intermarried with the five families of Sheguan. The noble girl herself has been educated for a long time, so it is difficult to cheat, especially since the position of the emperor is not very valuable, and no one has planned it.

As for the samurai family, judging by the appearance of adoptive sons everywhere, their attitude towards blood relationship is not so serious. Without market demand, Japan naturally did not develop the eunuch industry that required a lot of manpower and material resources to complete the industry.

Having said so many eunuchs, the reason why Song Xiance waited so long was because of this eunuch, because it was too easy to go undercover beside the emperor, without paying the price of cutting chickens and chickens, and the shogunate buried too many nails in the royal family. He just arrived at the door, and the old servant who had just greeted him hurriedly gave instructions.

"Your Majesty took great pains to send Master Li Cha and Master Kuxiu away. There is only three quarters. Please, Master Song, hurry up!"

Listening to the interpreter behind him who was also trembling with cold, Song Xiance turned around helplessly.

"I'm sorry!"

"Master Song, please!"

This room is also a kind of bamboo building, with a fire pond for boiling water in the middle, and the sliding door outside was opened. Song Xiance kicked off his shoes and hurried in, but he was stunned for a while.

The emperor is a woman! Moreover, it is a little girl!

It's just that born in the royal family restricted by the shogunate, under the cruel politics, even a little girl has to be forced to grow old. Song Xiance, who is used to the world, can clearly see from the little girl's pupils that she doesn't match her age and vicissitudes look.

Besides, sitting cross-legged beside her was an old woman in her fifties or sixties, who was probably one of the important figures in the royal family, and she was also an old fritter that was difficult to deal with.

It is not unacceptable to pretend to be a grandpa in Kyushu Island. In front of such a little girl with a round face, it is not unacceptable. When he enters the house, he directly has a rice cake party, sticking some on the ground, freezing Seeing Tao with a trembling mouth.

"Envoys of the Toyotomi family, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Even though the royal kimono looked thick enough, the little girl's face was pale and her lips were blue from the cold, and she was a little trembling, but she was still a teenager at heart, so she raised her voice slightly excitedly.

"You are the envoy of the Toyotomi family? Are there any descendants of the Toyotomi family? What kind of person is he and how old is he?"

"His Majesty?"

The old woman behind her coughed slightly, and the little girl of the Emperor hurriedly regained her composure, and sat up again with a solemn appearance of a clay bodhisattva.

But there was only three quarters, Song Xiance didn't have time to waste here, so he hurriedly pulled out the box from the bag behind him, and stuffed it forward with both hands.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Young Master Feng Chen is not much older than you. He is a handsome young man. The Young Master has admired Your Majesty for a long time. This is a gift from the Young Master to His Majesty!"

When the box is opened, no matter the old woman or the young girl, the eyes of all of them are brightened at the same time, no matter how old and cunning they are, they are still women. Glass mirrors these days are more precious than Chanel, much more precious than Rolls-Royce, and they are also inlaid with precious stones. , full of excitement, the little girl Emperor Akira excitedly picked up the mirror and took a picture of it.

"This, this is me? It's too clear!"

After all, he was still an old fox, his eyes were fascinated by the mirror for a moment, and then he became clear again, with the same dead face, and said gloomyly.

"More than ten years ago, Toyotomi's family rebelled, and the whole family was killed by General Tokugawa. Now, he is still a criminal, and with such a heavy gift, what is he planning to meet His Majesty?"

Time was too tight, Song Xiance didn't have time to go around in circles, he just paused.

"All you want is white!"

"No!"

Almost immediately her face changed, she opened her mouth to veto, and pulled the little emperor's little hand, the old woman was about to walk back, her eyes were still looking at the mirror reluctantly, but the little emperor didn't dare to speak, and followed Xiaobu to the back room .

But he had expected this scene a long time ago, and Song Xiance hurriedly kowtowed behind him.

"How much can the public have to lose? The prince becomes a monk, and the princess never marries. Is Your Majesty willing?"

This sentence really hit the spot, especially for the two women, especially for that old woman, the old princess!

The complexion became extremely ugly, the old woman even lost her composure, and turned her head angrily.

"When Taige Toyotomi Hideyoshi was there, the same was true for the royal family, right? Generation after generation of rebellious officials and thieves, generation after generation have despised the royal family. You dogs bit dogs to fight for the world. Blood flowed like a river. Why did the royal family take this muddy water?"

It's no wonder this old woman is not excited, the Wa country is so big, with only this little resources, what do you enjoy and what do I enjoy?And after all, the royal family needs to be on guard. Regardless of the Tokugawa shogunate or the former Toyotomi Taiko, they are extremely restrictive of the royal family's finances, so that the royal family's financial constraints have reached such a level that they have no money to handle the dowry. Princes who do not inherit the throne have to become monks. The princess was forced to become a nun, saying that she believed in Buddhism, but no one could see her poor face.
