Section 137 Sino-Japanese Summit (1)
In the tradition of the Wa people, Edo had many wooden houses, which were overwhelmed, which was a major weakness, and the occasional fire burned down the city, protecting the hearts and bodies of the Wado.
In fact, during the Edo shogunate period, Edo was plagued by large-scale fires, and even the best firefighting facilities could not prevent the large-scale disasters caused by the fires, and these fires were so inextricably linked to the city that they were given a poetic name: "Edo no Hana"!
He thought that he had found the fate of the Watada, so Yan Changwu was very interested when he met with Tokugawa Hidetada.
In order to welcome Yan Changwu's visit, the Japanese opened an anchorage for the Southeast Fleet in Edo Bay, and from now on, Edo's busy maritime trade was suspended to facilitate the holding of a summit meeting between the two sides and ensure safety.
On the same day, the Japanese ship brought drinking water and
Tokugawa Hidetada, the Imperial Palace of Yan Dai, is here!
The two sides will meet at sea, no one can trust anyone, Yan Changwu knows that the Japanese are brazen, let him go ashore to meet the Japanese people, don't even think about it.
Therefore, Tokugawa Hidetada came to see Yan Changwu on the "Ming Ship", which was protected by twelve large "Ataku Ships".
The bow to stern of the Ataka ship is protected by armor made of slabs, and it is full of holes for shooting arrows and guns, and there are no dead spots in the front, back, left and right. When approaching an enemy ship, you can also turn the lintel outward to turn it into a bridge to the enemy ship. The bottom of the boat is also designed with waterproof partitions, so that even if part of the boat gets into the water, the boat will not sink. At that time, the power of the boat was still mainly human paddles, and large Ataka boats even required 100 people to row. The ship can be equipped with cannons, and has extremely high attack and defense capabilities, which can be called a castle on the sea.
If the battleships of the Southeast Fleet are not activated, and the other side rows and drives the ships to attack, it may not fall into the wind, and it is possible to ensure that the Southeast Fleet is defeated.
The "Ming Dynasty" is similar to the Ming Dynasty sailboat, and there are two pavilion-covered structures on the open-air deck of the ship, which are yellow, golden and golden, and pasted with gold leaf!
Zhang hard sail, the sail cover is also covered with gold leaf.
Fight them to prevent them from reflecting the sun and dazzling your eyes!
In the middle of the pavilion, there is a superior sitting on the throne, and there is an equivalent throne, someone spoke on his behalf: "His Royal Highness Tokugawa is here, and invites His Royal Highness Yan, the overseer of the Southeast Prefecture, to cross the boat, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord!"
Within the range of the cannons, Yan Changwu was not afraid of what he was doing, so he took a cruiser and drove over and boarded the ship.
However, he didn't dare to sit on the throne prepared by the Japanese people, so he directly moved a Taishi chair from the ship to sit on.
"Welcome, Overseer!"
"Your Royal Highness, you're welcome!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
Everyone treated each other as equals, sat down separately, and looked at each other.
Tokugawa Hidetada was wearing a gorgeous kimono, his mane was white, his body was still very straight, he had a childlike crane hair style, and his voice was loud, he was the real ruler of the Edo shogunate, and his huge power made him stay young forever!
And Yan Changwu was wearing a white navy uniform, carrying three stars on his shoulders (representing that he was a lieutenant general), he was not decently young, although his face was a little dark, but he was heroic, as bright as the rising sun!
"Your Highness, Overseer, if I hadn't actually seen you, I wouldn't have believed you were so young!" Tokugawa Hidetada gets straight to the point.
Without waiting for Yan Changwu to pick up, he said with emotion: "Especially since you started from scratch and rose rapidly, I was still happy under my father's knees at the age of His Highness the Overseer!" β
"I have always admired His Royal Highness the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Grand Imperial Palace!" Yan Changwu said politely.
"Oh, why don't you tell me about it?" Tokugawa Hidetada said with interest.
"The two highnesses created the Edo Shogunate, Yuan and Yanwu, and the people of your country can enjoy peace, live and work in peace and contentment, the regime is stable, and peace is a blessing!" Yan Changwu calmly said.
(Motowa Yenmu: In 1615, Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated Toyotomi Hideyori at the Osaka Summer Battle, and the Toyotomi clan was destroyed, ending Japan's Sengoku period.)
On July 13, the year of the end of the Osaka Summer War (1615), the Imperial Court announced the change of "Genwa" at the behest of the shogunate to symbolize the beginning of a new era.
In the 20th year of KeichΕ, it was renamed the first year of Motowa, and the history was called "Motowa Yanmu", that is, the war that lasted for nearly two centuries finally ended, and the era of the Edo shogunate, which was basically peaceful, came.
Yan Changwu said this, indicating that he knew the history of the Wa Kingdom)
Tokugawa Hidetada's eyes lit up and said: "Others don't know our two fathers and sons, although His Royal Highness the Overseer is young, he sees things to the point, and his eyes are unique, and others can't do it!" β
"Ah, snubbing your guests!" Tokugawa Hidetada greeted, "Kagehime, Tsukihime, come here!" β
Two charming Japanese girls came over with a smile, their good looks, pink skin, and graceful posture, they are the top Japanese beauties, you really can't find a flaw!
Following the instructions of Tokugawa Hidetada, they performed a Japanese tea ceremony and served tea to their guests.
The fingers are fair, the movements are beautiful, and the charm is charming, giving people great beauty enjoyment, and the visual impact is incomparable.
But!
Yan Changwu just glanced at them, as if nothing happened, and he didn't even make the action of swallowing saliva.
Tokugawa Hidetada secretly exclaimed a pity!
The young man quit sexuality, and the widow had bad intentions, so he specially found two beauties, as long as the other party swallowed the bait, they had their own means and would do a lot in the future.
It's a pity that Yan Changwu was not fooled!
When the two widows finished making tea and offered it to Yan Changwu, Yan Changwu raised his glass as a salute, but he didn't drink tea!
Tokugawa Hidetada was not displeased, and was even more vigilant, knowing that Yan Changwu was not easy to deal with, just like his father Tokugawa Ieyasu.
What kind of person is Comrade Ieyasu?
He slept under the bed with a wooden bar, for fear of assassins, the food had to be roasted over the fire, for fear of poisoning people, not playing JI women, for fear of syphilis, women all started from familiar people.
Perseverance and perseverance can achieve great things!
"This trip is really the right one!" Tokugawa Hidetada judged.
In fact, within the top echelons of the Edo shogunate, there was a huge disagreement over how to deal with Yan Changwu.
The Great Imperial Office Tokugawa Hidetada and the Seiyi Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu father and son participate in the business!
Tokugawa Iemitsu was young and vigorous (born in 1604, now 24 years old), and in his opinion, after the efforts of his grandfather and grandchildren, the Japanese kingdom was strong, and the people were united and had the strength to fight.
And the other party is not the Ming court, if the Ming court that defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi comes to the door, maybe they should give them face.
Now a savage regime composed of foreign people of the Ming Dynasty is tolerable to attack its own vassals, which is unbearable.
If you give in to them, where will the face of the Edo shogunate go?
Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to fight.
His father, Tokugawa Hidetada, was old and serious, saying that he would not make a decision with Yan Changwu first, so the two parties met on Edo Bay.
Now it seems that although Yan Changwu is young, he is extremely old, and he already has his routines, which are both easy to talk and not easy to speak.
