Section 138 Sino-Japanese Summit (2)
"Your Highness the Overseer, why did you come with the Southeast Fleet?" Tokugawa Hidetada is no longer hypocritical and wronged, and he is straight to the point.
"Come for friendship, come for peace!" Yan Changwu said cheekily, he didn't know that he had been labeled as "shameless" by the Japanese people.
Tokugawa Hidetada received a report from the Satsuma Domain, saying that Yan Dashao was not an upright Ming man, but a savage, with mysterious tactics and too unspeakable!
"I don't think our Southeastern Prefecture and your Shogunate should be enemies, but friends, or collaborators!" Yan Changwu pointed out.
"Your Highness is right, we shouldn't go to war!" Tokugawa Hidetada said with a smile on his face.
The old treacherous and slippery man saw the reality of the Southeast Mansion!
The southeastern province simply does not have the strength to occupy Wajima, and the southeastern province itself is also in great trouble. . . For example, the relationship with the mainland, and the relationship with the red hair.
However, the navy of the southeast province is strong, and Yan Changwu dared to lead more than a dozen warships to come, because they stifled the foreign trade routes of the Japanese state, and often came to look for trouble, and the Japanese country was in trouble.
For example, the Southeast Mansion is to rob merchant ships and loot the shore, which is a Chinese version of the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
What's even more terrifying is what if they collude with the feudal towns of Wajima to oppose the shogunate?
This kind of enemy is very annoying, and if you want to deal with them, you have to build a strong naval force and actively trade with foreign countries, but it is contrary to the general policy of the Edo shogunate.
Prohibition measures!
In 1616, the second shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, took further measures to ban Christianity. The main contents are: first, to further ban Catholicism, especially to completely eradicate Catholics among the peasants; Second, all foreign ships were not allowed to trade in the daimyo domain, and could only engage in trade activities in Nagasaki and Heido; Third, Chinese vessels are not subject to this regulation. At the same time, control over the overseas trade of seals was strengthened, and the western daimyo were forbidden to possess large ships with a load of more than 500 koku, and seals were issued only to a few wealthy merchants in Kyoto who were close to the shogun.
If you form a sea force, you must use the help of Hongmaofan, they have a cannon giant ship, only the technology to build ships and cast cannons, the problem is that Hongmaofan likes to preach, and now it is too late to push Hongmaofan out, and they have to invite them to come?!
Tokugawa Hidetada thought a lot, and he had a meeting with Yan Changwu, and found that Yan Changwu actually appreciated the policies of the Japanese state.
For example, "Yuan and Yanwu", there are also measures to ban religion.
"It is too much for Hongmao to preach and teach people to believe in God and disrespect their ancestors!" Yan Changwu criticized.
"Exactly!" Tokugawa Hidetada nodded.
"Our southeast mansion does not give Hongmao Fan a missionary, and those who dare to come to preach will be expelled!" Yan Changwu said.
Suddenly, Tokugawa Hidezhong knew his heart, and heard Yan Changwu say: "If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, we are black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, and red-haired fans are red-haired, blue-eyed and white-skinned, their living habits are very different from ours, and interacting with them will corrupt our social atmosphere and cause social turmoil, so merchant ships can trade in Tainan!" ”
"Yes, our shogunate only gave them to engage in trade activities in Nagasaki and Hedo!" Tokugawa Hidetada patted his thigh and said.
Yan Changwu continued: "I envy your samurai system...... So, I established the officer corps. ”
Listen, the dignified Southeast Prefecture Overseers envy the samurai system of the Wa Kingdom!
During the reign of the Edo shogunate, the emperor enjoyed high prestige and was nominally the supreme ruler of the country, but he did not have real power.
Real power was in the hands of the shogun, the Tokugawa family, who was also the largest feudal lord, directly administering a quarter of the country's land and many important cities.
The rest of the country was divided into more than 200 "feudal domains," large and small, and the head of the domain, the daimyo, enjoyed hereditary rule over the feudal domain, but had to obey the shogun.
Both the shogun and the daimyo kept their own retainers, the samurai, who received fiefs and rokumi from the shogun or daimyo but had to be loyal to the shogun or daimyo, and these samurai were generally professional soldiers with the privilege of swords, and they formed the basis of the shogunate's rule, thus forming a feudal system of rule consisting of the shogunate and the feudal domain, the shogunate system.
In order to cultivate the samurai as a pillar of ideology, the Tokugawa shogunate vigorously promoted the "bushido" spirit of loyalty, righteousness, and courage that the samurai should have to serve and die for them.
"Our Southeast Mansion worships Guan Gong, and he is the best expression of the samurai's 'loyalty, righteousness, and bravery'!"
It's not in vain that Guan Gong is loyal to Uncle Liu Huang, regardless of the rich knighthood given by Cao Cao, he rode thousands of miles to protect his sister-in-law and vote for Uncle Liu Huang; Righteousness was taken care of by Cao Cao, so he caught and released Cao on Huarong Road, Yong is to pass five levels and kill six generals, defeat Yu Ban, collect Huang Zhong, and behead Pang De! He had a plan to flood the Seventh Army, but he couldn't learn from his "pride" and didn't join forces with Soochow, which led to the defeat of Maicheng.
It is the military and police part of the southeast province, and there is also worship of Guan Gong.
Speaking of tea art, the Japanese state has a tea ceremony, and Yan Changwu has kung fu tea!
As a result, the two sides exchanged tea and imported it separately!
Previously, Yan Changwu did not move at all in the tea sent by the widow.
But the tea ordered by Tokugawa Hidetada, Yan Changwu gave face.
And the kung fu tea made by Yan Changwu was praised loudly by Tokugawa Hidetada after drinking it.
……
One middle school and one widow, one young and one old, can talk about entering Hong Kong, so they have become New Year's friends.
Tokugawa Hidetada couldn't help but say the "Lockdown Order" he wanted to implement!
He informed Yan Changwu that the main contents were: first, prohibiting Japanese ships from going to sea to trade and Japanese contacts with overseas, and smugglers should be sentenced to death; Second, the missionary activities of Catholicism should be outlawed, and missionaries who infiltrated Japan should be denounced and arrested, so as to prevent the spread of Catholicism in Japan; Third, foreign ships arriving in Japan were closely monitored, and trade activities were strictly controlled by the shogunate.
"The lockdown order is a good thing, it is conducive to the stability of the rule, those small people, how do you know the preciousness of peace, hum, if it is under the wood... Well, during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi period, they drove them to Korea to kill us Akito, and they knew the benefits! (Yan Dashao said this, causing Tokugawa Hidetada's face to twitch).
Yan Changwu gave a sentence to Tokugawa Hidetada, that is: "Stability overrides everything!" ”
This remark made Tokugawa Hidetada overjoyed, and immediately replaced him, showed off his calligraphy once, wrote "stability overrides everything", and gave back to Yan Changwu!
Yan Changwu's face cramped, and he was embarrassed, because people's Chinese calligraphy is really good!
It makes people wonder which one is Han and which one is non-Han!
People need to communicate with each other, and it is a benign interaction, Tokugawa Hidetada, as a great imperial palace with real power, is highly respected in the Wa Kingdom, others are submissive to him, he knows how many of others' praise for him is sincere, it is doubtful!
But Yan Changwu is different, he is neither humble nor arrogant to Tokugawa Hideloy, and he does not deliberately please him (it is really not necessary, although Yan Changwu is not strong, but the situation is favorable to him), he is indeed telling the truth.
Of course, it was true, Yan Changwu was full of secret circles: "Old devil, the lock-up order is good, the closure of the country has seriously hindered the development of industry and commerce, the national strength is difficult to strengthen, and if you abolish your martial arts, you will have no chance to plot against us in the East!" Even you can rest assured that you can go west! ”
Bushido? Ignorant bushido, shoguns, daimyos, and samurai make up 10% of Japan's population and belong to the ruling class. Businessmen, who make up 10 percent of the population, run businesses and are discriminated against by the ruling class; "Peasants" account for about 80 percent of the country's population, and are the main group of oppressed and exploited, who not only pay rent but also bear all kinds of miscellaneous labor and labor. At the bottom of society are the "untouchables". The boundaries of the various hierarchies are strict, the hereditary lineage is unchanged, there is no intermarriage, and there are differences in clothing, food, and housing.
"If you don't give full play to the power of all strata, this country will be inferior!" Yan Changwu was far-sighted and sincerely praised Comrade Tokugawa Hidetada's national lockdown order and bushido!
There are many such examples, for example, the three major countries of Afghanistan, which are close neighbors of China, are divided into four classes and add a pariah class, resulting in competition with the national dynasty is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper!
