322 [Celestial Empire]
Inside the cabin.
Yoshitaka Ouchi, who was only ten years old, asked Zong Shiqian: "Zen master, I am the son of a martial artist, why did my father send me to China?" ”
Zong Shiqian said with a smile: "The Hall of the Seven Kingdoms has its own profound meaning. ”
Ouchi Yoshitaka asked again: "Can that Chinese Wang Shilang really be able to subdue the tiger with his bare hands?" ”
Zong Shiqian shook his head and said: "I don't know if he can subdue the tiger with his bare hands, but it is true that he will destroy the country." The country he destroyed was larger than the seven kingdoms controlled by the Ouchi clan combined, and it only took him a year. ”
Ouchi Yoshitaka was fascinated: "I want to learn martial arts from this Wang Shilang!" ”
Zong Shi smiled humbly and said nothing.
The two protagonists of the Jiajing Dynasty's battle for tribute, one is the aforementioned Zong Suqing, and the other is the Zong Shiqian Dao in front of him.
At that time, Zong Sheqian Dao was the first to arrive in Ningbo, and Zong Suqing followed.
However, Zong Suqing, who arrived later, bribed the eunuchs of the city, and the eunuchs deliberately ranked Zong Suqing's banquet seats in front of Zong Shiqiandao. He also intends to recognize Zong Suqing's tributary qualifications and characterize Zong Suqing's humble path as an illegal tribute.
Strictly speaking, the survey document in Zong Sheqiandao's hand is real, and the survey document in Zong Suqing's hand has been invalid for more than ten years.
The eunuch of Ningbo City reversed black and white, and immediately angered Zong Shiqiandao. He first killed the main envoy of the Hosokawa family, burned the tribute ship of the Hosokawa family, and then pursued and killed the deputy envoy Zong Suqing, chasing him all the way from Ningbo to Shaoxing, burning and looting the Chinese residents along the way. The commanders of Zhejiang's Beiwei were all killed, and a thousand households were also killed.
The Ming Dynasty and the opposition were shaken, so the Ningbo City Shipping Division was abolished, and the official trade between China and Japan was cut off from then on.
The main messenger who did such things was a diminutive monk. The monk taught Yoshitaka Ouchi some scriptures, and then strode onto the deck, looking at the endless and wide sea with his hands in his hands.
In the past few decades, the main envoys of the Ouchi clan were all for Anguiwu, but now it is finally his turn to set up a humble way!
An Guiwu, who has a close friendship with Wang Yangming, is not only knowledgeable, but also a Japanese "porcelain sect". The exquisite Japanese porcelain of later generations was formed by Anguiwu stealing from China and inventing and improving the technique himself. Wang Yangming said that this kind of porcelain is the "self-made pottery" of An Guiwu, and praised it.
In Japan, the kiln was opened to burn porcelain, and it was soon sold throughout the country, and Guiwu made a lot of money.
Now that An Guiwu is dead, Zong Shiqian Dao also wants to learn something in China, maybe he will be able to make a fortune in the future.
For more than 100 years, Japan has been learning from China.
In terms of culture, in the early Ming Dynasty, Song Lian, Gao Qi and others were respected, and Japanese writers imitated these two. In the Hongzhi period, the first seven sons carried out the retro movement, and Japan also followed the promotion of Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, and Ouyang Xiu. Japan's "Yamato-e", which imitated Song and Yuan paintings in the early Ming Dynasty, is now introducing a large number of Ming painting techniques.
It was cotton cloth, which was also introduced to Japan in the Ming Dynasty, and more and more Japanese samurai began to wear cotton cloth.
Zong Shiqiandao's identity is a monk from the Five Mountains, and he belongs to the group of people who have the deepest connection with the Ming Dynasty. Because among the tributary missions from Japan to China, the most literate were monks, and monks were often appointed as envoys. These monks were keen to study Sinology, and it was passed down from generation to generation, even if they were monks who had never been to China, they could speak Chinese fluently.
The monks of the Five Mountains mainly studied Cheng Zhu Lixue, forming the so-called "Five Mountains School", crushing the "Gongqing School" and the "Doctor School". The latter two passed on the Tang and Song scriptures from generation to generation in order to achieve a monopoly on Confucianism, but as a result, the monks of the Five Mountains made it impossible to influence Kyoto, and were forced to turn to study Cheng Zhu Lixue.
A Japanese monk who doesn't understand Cheng Zhu's science, no matter how advanced the Buddhism is, he doesn't want to be famous at all!
A few years ago, when Japan was in turmoil, the monks suffered first, and a large number of monks from the Five Mountains took refuge in the local feudal lords, and it was in this situation that Munsaki Kendo took refuge in the Ouchi clan.
Just when Zong Sheqian was enjoying the sea view, Fenggang Guiyang also came to the deck to breathe.
"Fenggang-kun seems to have made progress again." Zong Shiqian said with a smile.
Fenggang Guiyang said excitedly: "These days, I am studying the new arithmetic taught by the angels. This study is wonderful, the creation of heaven and earth, worthy of the Heavenly Dynasty founded by Wang Shilang! ”
Zong Shi Qiandao studied Cheng Zhu Lixue all his life, and regarded other studies as sideways, and immediately frowned and asked: "What is there to study in arithmetic?" ”
"This magic skill is also!" Fenggang Guiyang is highly respected.
During the Zhengde period, abacus had been introduced to Japan, but it only began to be promoted at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It was not until Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea that the enlightenment of arithmetic and the unification of algorithms were brought from Korea, and Chinese arithmetic spread on a small scale in Japan. Later, Mori Seoneng opened a school in Kyoto to teach arithmetic and traditional teachings, and the number of students soon reached hundreds.
There is also Hashimoto Positive Number according to the arithmetic enlightenment, comprehend the Tianyuan technique, and his disciple Sawaguchi Kazuyuki wrote the ancient and modern algorithms. As a result, Tian Yuan Shu has swept the Japanese academic circles, and scholars are vying to learn that Chinese Tian Yuan Shu is actually solving equations!
The solution of equations can cause a sensation in Japan, not to mention Wang Yuan's modern mathematics. During this time, Fenggang Guiyang regarded Bao Chaoxiang as a university scholar and revered Wang Yuan as a "god descended from heaven".
From Japan to China, the speed is a little slower.
In about 20 days, the fleet successfully arrived at the port of Hangzhou.
The Chinese crew landed one after another, the finance deputies began to contact the dental bank to receive the goods, and the ordinary crew members ran to the city to have fun.
The Ouchi clan's five merchant ships, after handing over 30,000 taels of silver, soon obtained the vassal version of the Haiyin Document, and were allowed to stay and trade in Hangzhou for a long time. But......
"It's okay to go ashore, turn in your weapons!"
The city official scolded loudly, so he didn't care about the etiquette of diplomatic relations, and the tone was like training his grandson.
Chinese sailors were allowed to bring cold weapons ashore, while the Japanese had to hand in even knives, a clearly discriminatory clause. But the Japanese did not dare to protest, they paid tribute in Ningbo, and all their weapons had to be handed over to the city department for temporary custody.
In terms of this provision, we can see how mentally retarded the eunuchs of Ningbo City were, and how incompetent the local army of Zhejiang was in the battle for tribute!
This dead eunuch accepts bribes, and it is just a matter of reversing black and white. He judged the real document to be a fake document, which completely angered Zong Shiqiandao, but he did not prevent these Japanese from making trouble.
A group of Japanese, who were forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, unarmed, actually captured the Shibo Sidong Treasury in one fell swoop and snatched back their confiscated weapons. He attacked the guest hall again, cut down the Hosokawa family's envoy who was eating, and then went to the port to burn the Hosokawa family's tribute ship, and then killed all the way to Shaoxing, and then returned to Ningbo from Shaoxing.
Just a few hundred Japanese, like entering a no-man's land, killing back and forth, capturing a commander and a hundred households, killing a thousand households, and a hundred households. Then plundered the city of Ningbo, seized the ship and fled into the sea, Zhejiang Bei Wei Du commanded the army to pursue, was killed by the Japanese, and by the way, another thousand households died.
A bunch of wreck!
On the contrary, the Koreans were more powerful, and on the way to escape back to Japan, a tribute ship was blown to the Korean sea in the wind and waves. He was killed by the Korean defenders for 30 years, captured 20 alive, and taken to Beijing as a prisoner.
Although Yoshitaka Ouchi is only ten years old, he also carries a handful of ribs with him. He saw that the Chinese crew swaggered onto the dock with waist knives, but he was asked to hand over his weapons, and he immediately felt insulted.
As soon as he wanted to step forward to theorize, Zong Shiqian held him down: "Do you know Chinese?" ”
Ouchi Yoshitaka was stunned: "The Zen master can help me translate." ”
Zong Shiqian said with a smile: "You don't know Chinese, how can you reason with the Ming people?" If you have anything to say, it's not too late until you learn Chinese. ”
Yoshitaka Ouchi stopped talking, and handed over the ribs to the city clerk with a stinky face.
