Chapter 103: The Abolition of the Emperor

Wang Ying said lightly: "You are a small country, and you dare to be the emperor? ”

Immediately, Wang Ying waved his hand, and several people stepped forward to press the emperor to leave.

"Stop." Ashikaga Yoshimasa strode forward, pressed his hand on the knife, and said, "General Wang, why are you doing this?" ”

Wang Ying smiled faintly and said: "For the sake of the king, there are no two lords, there is my Ming Emperor, naturally there is no such so-called emperor, there is a Japanese king of the Ashikaga family, and there is no other Japanese king." How about I dispose of this nondescript thing on behalf of the king of Japan? ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa's jumping feet.

This is something he would never allow.

Each country has its own national conditions, and the Ashikaga family is also from the emperor's lineage. This was one of the legal systems of the Ashikaga shogunate.

After Taizu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu received the seal of the Japanese king, which caused many people to be dissatisfied.

It's just that the form is stronger than the person.

The authority of Ashikaga Yoshimasa was not as strong as that of Ashikaga Yoshimatsu, and the Ming Dynasty's increased intervention in Japan made many Japanese even more disgusted. Now it's just because the Ming army is so powerful that they don't dare to show it.

If Ashikaga Yoshimasa really let the Ming army take the emperor away.

He's going to be really tied to Daming's ship.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said: "Absolutely not, this is a domestic matter in Japan, and I don't have to worry about it. ”

Wang Ying smiled faintly and said: "If he claims to be the king of Japan, it is naturally not a matter of the imperial court, but if he dares to call himself the emperor, it may not be." ”

"What, the king of Japan is going to fight another battle in Kyoto?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa felt the snow blowing into his clothes for a moment, and a coldness penetrated his heart. Ashikaga Yoshimasa was tempted to say harsh words. But how can it be said that the exit.

He knew that the second batch of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had arrived, and he did not go to Cheongju, and asked if he landed directly from Osaka, just outside Kyoto.

Today, the Ming army in the Kyoto area has reached as many as 50,000.

And how much strength is there under Ashikaga Yoshimasa?

Although it is claimed to be 100,000, it has been dismissed a lot.

The reason is simple.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa couldn't afford to raise these troops, so he could only let the heads of each family leave a part of the flag samurai, and the number was small, and the rest of the army went home.

The purpose of Ashikaga Yoshimasa to rectify Gyeonggi was also to train 30,000 flags. With these 30,000 banners as the core combat power, plus the attached daimyo. It is not a problem for Ashikaga Yoshimasa to pull out an army of 100,000, or even an army of 100,000.

In this way, the control of the Ashikaga family over Japan was greatly increased.

Think about it, the goal of Ashikaga Yoshimasa is only 30,000 flags.

How many people can fight under the command of Yizheng now?

How dare he fight against the 50,000-strong army of the Ming army.

The 50,000 Ming army was a small part of the Ming army. A finger, but for Japan he is already an unbearable weight.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa no

Guan was so angry in his heart that he could only say, "Borrow a step to speak." ”

Some words are always difficult to say in front of the emperor, no more than Wang Ying, Ashikaga Yoshimasa still has basic respect for the emperor.

Wang Ying and Ashikaga Yoshimasa left their guards and came to a dilapidated pavilion. Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, "What exactly is the shogun going to do? ”

Wang Ying said: "I have this friendship with the lord of the country, so I won't hide it from you, this is a metaphor, if you want to blame it, you will blame it for being too taboo." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was somewhat skeptical.

Although the title of the emperor seems to be a bit taboo. But it wasn't until today that the Ming Dynasty only learned that there was an emperor here, and in North Korea and Annam, they were all called emperors.

It's all the norm.

Even in the Nanyang countries, they call themselves ministers externally, but internally, they call themselves the highest title, because of different cultures, they may not be emperors.

It's all commonplace.

And in the mind of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a person who cares too much about fame. Because Zhu Qizhen has issued several edicts, it is a matter of avoidance.

Zhu Qizhen abolished the avoidance system, no matter his name, or the name of the queen and the crown prince, he had to keep it in writing.

Of course, how Zhu Qizhen gave the order is one thing, but what the people below should do is another.

After all, this is a sign of respect for the emperor. The emperor said no, he didn't want it.

Zhu Qizhen's order is just to turn the explicit rules into unspoken rules.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa suddenly remembered something, gasped, and said secretly: "North Korea, where is Annan?" ”

Korea and Annam have been destroyed, and they are Haexi Province and Cochin Province respectively.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly had some faith.

It was in this regard that the destruction of Annam and Korea was remembered by the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there is still a trace of hesitation in his heart. He was worried that this was one of the methods used by the Ming to persecute him.

But even what?

Ashikaga Yoshimasa thought about it, and knew that he had no way to refuse, and he said: "Sailor, as you said, you and I have also experienced life and death. ”

"Tell me the truth, is this really irreparable?"

Wang Ying nodded. Didn't speak.

In order to accomplish this, Wang Ying first took advantage of the military superiority, and then used a surprise attack to control the emperor first, and then negotiate with Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

It can be seen that Wang Ying is ready to fight another battle with Ashikaga Yoshimasa in Kyoto City.

The worst is already prepared. There is still room for redemption.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said: "The general allowed me three things, and I let this one thing go." ”

Wang Ying said: "Please speak." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, "The emperor can be taken away by the seafarer, but he must go quietly and not be alarmed too much." ”

king

Ying said, "Yes. However, the word "emperor" is not allowed to appear in Japan. Otherwise, it will alarm Your Majesty again, but it will not be so simple. ”

Wang Ying does not want an emperor, but to cut off the emperor's lineage.

If he takes an emperor and doesn't have a few years of Ashikaga Yoshimasa in the process, it won't be interesting.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa didn't dare to play this trick, he just wanted to give himself some room to maneuver. This message can be blocked for as long as it can.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said: "I understand, second, that is, when the emperor's family arrives in the Celestial Empire, they still hope that the imperial court will treat them well. ”

Wang Ying said: "That's nature. ”

Wang Ying didn't want the emperor's life, and after arriving in Beijing, it was no longer under Wang Ying's control.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said: "There is one more thing, please leave a battalion of soldiers and horses in Kyoto for permanent staying. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimasa also thought clearly at this moment, since he couldn't get off this big ship, he tied it tighter. Although he was uncomfortable, he couldn't care about it. Let's save my life first.

As soon as the emperor was abolished, the cornerstone of the shogunate's righteous name was hollowed out.

It can only be maintained by force.

And Ashikaga Yoshimasa knew better than anyone that the current shogunate was simply not enough to suppress Japan. The Ming army could only be stationed.

"I can't do this." Wang Ying said: "I need to report to the imperial court, but I can make the army withdraw a little slower, and then withdraw next year, I think the imperial court will make a decision at that time." ”

What else can Ashikaga Yoshimasa do? I can only pretend that I can't see it.

So the Emperor of Japan became history on this day.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing for the Japanese Emperor Goto-Gomon. After all, the Ming Dynasty was generally more polite to the king of the fallen country.

After he arrived in Beijing, he was given the title of an empty earl according to the treatment of the king of the dead country, or a liujue, but the treatment of an earl by the Ming Dynasty far exceeded the treatment of the emperor by the Japanese.

In his life, it will naturally not be as difficult to even bury him after death as in history.

After that, the Ming Dynasty deepened its involvement in Japan. More Ming people came to Kyoto from Osaka to do business. Even many Ming people don't think of Japan as a country anymore.

To think that Japan is part of the Ming Dynasty is like the southwestern toast.

And a year later, the news of the deposition of the emperor could not be concealed, which caused a major earthquake in Japan, which was not only political, military but also ideological.

Since then, the righteous name of the Ashikaga shogunate has disappeared. The beacon fire in Japan continued for more than 100 years, and there were wars every year, and the successive emperors continued to participate in the Japanese civil war. Finally, it took four generations of hard work to unify Japan and become the king of Japan. It is also one of the more than a dozen strong feudal domains of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

When the news of the end of the war in Japan came, it was already the end of the thirty-second year of Orthodoxy.
