In Kyoto, where the Wakoku Wakoku is located, in the humble Wawang Imperial Palace, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara is summoning the Ming Dynasty's envoy to the Wakoku country, Tong Yuan.

Tong Yuan was originally the magistrate of Yinshan County, and the imperial court was too lazy to send people, so he simply appointed Tong Yuan as an envoy stationed in the Wa State and had full authority to deal with all the affairs involving the Ming Dynasty on the side of the Wa State.

No, a few days ago, he received a holy decree from the Great Tomorrow, asking him to personally come and read the will of the Great Tomorrow Son to the Wa Kingdom.

"Minister Dongfang Shengren welcomes the Son of Heaven's holy order~"

Emperor Kashiwahara Ken Tong Yuan took out a bright yellow holy decree in his hand, and knelt down very respectfully.

Well, in the past, it was possible to kneel and worship, but according to the agreement signed at the end of last year, the nominal monarch of the Wa Kingdom is the Great Tomorrow, and the Wa King is also the courtier of the Great Tomorrow, so it is necessary to kneel and bow in major matters.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict that the Wa State is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the world is blessed by heaven...... First, the native people of Nanyang Luzon were barbarians, did not know how to educate, did not understand etiquette, and repeatedly offended my Ming Dynasty, which is tolerable and unbearable. ”

"Now, I specially recruit 5,000 warriors from the Wa Kingdom, go south to the South Seas to exterminate the natives, and protect my Ming Dynasty!"

Tong Yuan's voice was very loud, and when he thought of the rebellion of the natives, his voice seemed to be filled with thunder and anger, and the sky was mighty, like an abyss like a prison.

"Minister Dongfang Katsuren receives the order~"

After listening to Tong Yuan's recitation of the holy decree, Dongfang Shengren hurriedly responded respectfully, and at the same time, the whole person couldn't help but smile happily.

Sure enough, Daming's side is still more orthodox.

Although the Shogunate now has the final say, he, the emperor, has no real power in his hands, and the daimyo who secretly supports him is also far away.

But the Ming side regarded him as the representative of the Wa Kingdom, and the holy decree of conscription was issued to him, not to the shogun.

With this holy decree in his hand, he can truly command the Japanese kingdom, even if it is the shogunate, it must listen to its own words, because he can pretend to be powerful.

You can not listen to your own words, but do you dare not listen to the words of the great tomorrow?

"Master Tong, Xiao Wang has prepared a wine banquet, please be sure to enjoy the light~"

Dongfang Shengren took the holy decree and said to Tong Yuan with a smile on his face.

"I don't have to, I'm going to rush back."

"Just get this matter done as soon as possible on your side, before February 15, these 5,000 warriors must be assembled in Yinshan County, and we will train them here in the Ming Dynasty."

Dine?

Drink porridge, right?

It's not that Tong Yuan doesn't know that you are so poor that you can't even afford to drink porridge, and you are still eating here.

Slip away, slip away, it's better to go to the shogunate here with this kung fu, it's very close anyway, and the hospitality here in the shogunate must be much better than yours.

"Yes, Xiao Wang understands~"

"The Japanese side must complete it on time, and it will never live up to the trust of the great tomorrow."

Dongfang Katsuhito replied respectfully.

"That's good, let's say goodbye first~"

Tong Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Dongfang Shengren's humble palace, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This Wa King is really a failure, he has no power or money, and he can't even get the money for the burial of Emperor Goto Gomon, it's really a dog's nest.

But if you think about it carefully, it can be passed down for more than 2,000 years, which seems to be very remarkable.

After all, in the land of China, the change of dynasties is a very frequent thing, and the history of a dynasty is only 300 years, but they can be passed on for a long time.

Without thinking too much, Tong Yuan also left Kyoto and returned to Yinshan County.

Yinshan County has a lot of work this year, the most important thing is to mine silver, and at the same time, spring is about to begin, and there are many trading houses that will organize fleets to go to the Golden Continent, which are all things he has to be busy with.

Especially the Iwami Silver Mine in Ginzan County, this is definitely a big deal.

Last year, Yinshan County was just occupied, and everything had just begun, mainly to build roads, proven reserves and locations, etc., so last year's output was not enough, not even 10 million taels of silver.

But this year, the preliminary preparations have been completed, and the next thing is to mine the silver mine on a large scale.

He knows very well that the major shareholder behind the silver mine in Yinshan County is the current Son of Heaven, as well as the military general Xungui Group and his own Enshi Liu Jin.

It doesn't matter how well he does other things, if this thing is done well, the mining of silver mines in Yinshan County will be guaranteed, and he will be promoted, and he will be able to be transferred back to Daming when the time comes.

"Send someone to the shogun immediately."

As soon as Tong Yuan's front foot left, Dongfang Shengren danced happily, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, and the fox fake tiger was powerful, which seemed to be very good.

Of course, he also knew very well that this was actually a balancing act of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wakoku had to maintain the confrontational relationship between the Shogunate and the local daimyos, and could not let the Shogunate unify the Wakoku, nor would the local daimyo replace the shogunate.

The Ming Dynasty also had many spies on the side of the Wa Kingdom, and it was clear that there were now many daimyo who were secretly loyal to the Wa King and wanted to use the Wa King as the banner to push the rule of the shogunate.

However, the shogunate was also deeply entrenched, and its rule in the Kanchu region was very strong, and at the same time, because of the expedition of the Daimei army last year, the powerful daimyo in various places were severely damaged.

Therefore, there has always been a delicate balance between the two, and no one dares to move with each other, because here in Yinshan County and Hyogo no Tsu, the Ming Dynasty has garrisons, and they always deter the Japanese country.

Now it is because the shogunate is relatively strong, so the Ming side will give him a little support, and a chaotic and confrontational Wa State is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there was no need for Dongfang Katsuhito to send someone to inform the shogunate, and when Tong Yuan's party came to Kyoto, the shogunate already knew about it, so it was also very clear what was happening in the Imperial Palace.

The shogunate's powerful minister, Yin Shizhong, also quickly came to discuss the conscription of troops on the Ming side with the Wa king.

According to the agreement signed with the Ming vassal states, the Ming dynasty is the monarch of all vassal states, and has the right to recruit people from the vassal states to fight for the emperor of the Ming dynasty.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in recruiting troops from the Japanese side.

"Yin Shi Zhongzhen, what do you think about this?"

Dongfang Katsuhito handed over the holy decree to Yin Se Tadada, he knew that this person was the real boss of the shogunate, and the shogunate's general, Ashikaga Yoshisumi, was just like himself, he was a puppet and had no real power in his hands.

"It's a good thing~"

"This can be seen as a test of the Ming Dynasty for our vassal states, with the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, the natives on Luzon Island are not enough to trouble."

"I estimate that this time, the Ming Dynasty will not only recruit the samurai of our Wa Kingdom, but will definitely recruit the samurai of Korea and Luzon."

Yin Shizhong said with a slight sigh.

"Hmm~"

Dongfang Shengren nodded solemnly, then looked at Yin Shizhong and said, "This can actually be regarded as the beginning of our overseas expansion. ”

"As long as we can perform well this time, Daming will rely on us more in the future."

"The world is very big, there is a lot of vast land, and the Ming Dynasty is also developing rapidly."

"The last time I went to Daming, it was said that Daming had a grand expansion plan, planning to fight from east to west from the land."

"At the same time, on the ocean, it will also expand westward from the South Sea, to the South Asian subcontinent, the Middle East and Africa."

"This time, as long as the warriors of our Wa Kingdom perform outstandingly, we will have the opportunity to follow the Ming Dynasty to fight in all directions in the future, and as long as we make meritorious contributions, the Ming side will casually reward us with a place for the Ming Dynasty, which will be enough for our Wa Kingdom to be of infinite use."

Dongfang Shengren said with some excitement that in this matter, he is very smart and has always stood on the interests of the whole country.

"What Your Majesty said is very true~"

Yin Shi Zhongzhen is naturally very aware of this, and when he looked at Dongfang Shengren, he looked like a Ming Jun, just wanting to make himself loyal with his mouth, which was obviously impossible.

In fact, Yin Shi Zhongzhen also understands very well that the Wa State is now at a historical crossroads, if the Wa State can be unified very quickly and quickly integrate its own strength.

So in this magnificent era, the Wa Kingdom will inevitably be able to make great achievements.

Not to mention competing with the Ming Dynasty, at least you can follow the Ming Dynasty's ass closely, establish colonies around the world, and seize more and more vast land.

But this is obviously impossible.

Not only will he not agree, but he finally took control of the shogunate, turned the shogun into a puppet, and became Cao Cao himself, which is naturally to think about replacing him, not to cheapen Dongfang Katsuren in front of him.

What's more, Da Ming won't allow it.

He can now see clearly what Da Ming meant.

The Wakoku side had to maintain the current state of affairs, and the shogunate and the daimyo in various places were facing each other, and they were evenly matched, and no one could help anyone.

Once one side has the intention of unifying the Japanese country, the Ming side will inevitably get involved, and the weapons and equipment sold to the shogunate last year are not to balance the strength between the shogunate and the local daimyo.

"Yin Shi is loyal, this is a magnificent era, an unprecedented era, whether our Japanese country can seize the opportunity in this great era, this is a matter related to our Japanese country for thousands of generations."

Dongfang Shengren looked at Yin Shi Zhongzhen, thought about it and said, it is obvious that there is something in this, and the meaning is also obvious.

If you can use it for me, then I can immediately and quickly unify the Wa Kingdom, and after integrating the power of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom can concentrate on external expansion and lead the Wa Kingdom to a glorious future.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a magnificent era!"

"But this is a great era led by the Ming Dynasty, and the future world will also be the world of the Ming Dynasty, and we can only do things according to the will of the Ming Dynasty."

Yin Shi is loyal to a smart person, how can he not understand, he thought about it and replied, which means that if you say it, it doesn't matter, but the son of tomorrow has the final say.
