Section 348 Foreign affairs of the shogunate
The tripartite envoys who stopped swept the floor, their beautiful clothes were torn, tattered and shaped like a child, some people's eyes were swollen, some people's noses were swollen like a big plum, and many people had blood clots on their faces and scratches on their bodies!
Wu was not convinced, and was still scolding, but the personnel of the Southeast Prefecture were amused and angry, and asked them to go back.
Then the three parties were transferred and dispersed to live in a far away place, and did not concentrate on eating, so there was no more incident.
Chen Xinji had to wait another week before he could meet with them---- the diplomatic envoys who had been beaten to the point of bruises and swollen ears were not suitable for everyone to meet, otherwise Chen Xinji would not be able to laugh out loud and cause another diplomatic incident.
The first thing I saw was the Champa people, who had been promoted to the old friends of the people of the southeast, and sent ambergris, sandalwood and other exotic fragrances, and the southeast province gave back silk, tea and porcelain (thanks to the gift of the ancestors, these goods are not ashamed, but also practical) and so on.
The two sides reviewed the development of bilateral relations with satisfaction, and reaffirmed that countries regardless of size, respect each other's territorial sovereignty and integrity---- and it is a big hole.
If you don't give us face, what do you think we will do?
Do you know that in our southeast mansion, there are giant ships and cannons, and they are used to put them on display?
These words were reiterated, both the envoys of the Nguyen Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty were extremely depressed, they thought about this joint clearly, and later, the Nguyen Dynasty attacked the city, and the Southeast Province said that the Nguyen Dynasty did not respect the sovereignty and integrity of the city, and beat it; Similarly, the Zheng Dynasty fought the Ruan Dynasty, and the Southeast Mansion came to intervene again.
Want to go well? Stuff my mouth with benefits!
Chen Xinji admired it, but he didn't expect that this was the essence of diplomacy of the black-bellied rabbit, strong and weak.
The Champa people provided rice for the southeast province, and this year they prepared more sugar cane, which was underwritten by the southeast government, and they were satisfied with the safety guarantee given to them by the southeast government.
Speaking of which, there was no big contradiction between the two sides, so they still talked very happily, and the Ruan Dynasty also agreed to sell the rice to the southeast government, and everyone signed a purchase and sale contract.
Compared with them, seeing the Zheng Chaoren, Chen Xinji didn't have a good face, but the Zheng Chaoren salivated and pasted it up!
First of all, I apologize, well, the fact that the Yan Inspector of your mansion accused Zheng Chaozhong of going to Longzhou County, Guangxi, your country to kill people and set fires, has already been settled!
Chen Xinji looked at the other party's file, saying that a certain general of the Zheng Dynasty, because of the smuggling business, the goods were seized by the Ming Dynasty Inspection Department and collected into the county seat of Longzhou.
After reading it at a glance and ten lines, Chen Xinji didn't even remember the name of the general of the Zheng Dynasty!
I only know that the other party gave in and gave the Southeast Mansion face, then it will be done, plus last year's big robbery, Chen Xinji is not too much, after all, our Southeast Mansion is not a professional robber, isn't it?
So the two sides made peace and achieved friendship, and like the Nguyen Dynasty and Champang, everyone signed a friendly trade agreement, and Chen Xinji said slowly: "We ask to rent your Guohongji boundary!" ”
The two sides did not reach an agreement immediately, and the Zheng Dynasty envoys sent the news to Thang Long Province (Hanoi), and Thang Long Province sent people to Hongji to take a closer look, only to find that the people in Southeast Province were not authentic, and there were good coal mines there!
Now it's troublesome, to rent or not to rent?
Leased to the southeast for development, I am unwilling!
But if you don't give it, the gunboats of the southeast province will come to the door.
Zheng Chao, who was in a hurry, actually thought of half of the shares, that is, the southeast government provided the development funds, the manpower was paid by Zheng Chao, and the benefits were divided in half by both sides!
This feeling is good, and the Southeast Mansion agreed.
Since then, Annam Hongji's high-quality anthracite coal has continuously flowed into the southeast province, providing power for the industry and the people in the southeast province, making guns and cannons, and cooking rice and water for the people.
There are also many good coal mines on the mainland, so why not cooperate?
Well, the mainland is too familiar to start!
What kind of ghost does Annan want to do here, let them do it, my only one move is the gunboat to come to the door, and if you don't accept it, you will fight, and there is no psychological burden on beating Annan monkeys.
……
Time passed, everything went according to plan, training and training, production and production, until a piece of news came, so that Yan Changwu, who was fighting at sea, had to return to the Overseer's Mansion.
"You mean my old friend, His Royal Highness Tokugawa Hidetada?" Yan Changwu asked Chen Xinji.
"Exactly!" (According to the official history, it should have been hung on January 24, 1632, but the history has changed, and it was hung in the middle of that year)
Tokugawa Hidetada is the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the second general of the Edo shogunate, and later handed over the shogunship, appointed the Great Imperial Palace, and the relationship with the southeast province is quite iron, after his death, the third generation of the Edo shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu sent a high-level envoy delegation to the sea gate to report the funeral.
"It makes sense that we need to send powerful people to go on this journey!" Chen Xinji said.
"That's right!" Yan Changwu said that he couldn't go ashore himself, and Chen Xinji, as the No. 2 person in the Southeast Mansion, went to mourn, which was enough to save face.
Chen Xinji went back to clean up and left the same day, he was on a cruiser, accompanied by Hong Xiguan, Hong Xiguan is good-looking, knows many foreign languages, including Japanese (this guy is well prepared), and can speak and fight, he is a good candidate.
The ships were speeding all the way to Edo, and the shogunate had already been waiting for them, and they were immediately invited to the Zojoji Temple in Edo, the burial place of Tokugawa Hidetada, where he would be buried at an auspicious time a day later.
Seeing Chen Jinji arrive, the third generation of shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the Southeast Mansion would not get along with him.
That night, Chen Jinji and his entourage stayed in the temporary building outside Zojoji Temple, and saw the daimyo and Korean envoys under the jurisdiction of the Edo shogunate gathering, and the courtesy given to the southeast province was the highest!
The location is the best, the most eye-catching, and the escort sent is the highest.
Zojoji Temple is a Pure Land Temple, the mountain number is Sanenshan, and the official full name is Sanenzan Guangdu Zojoji Temple. It is one of the seven major main mountains of the Pure Land sect of Japan, and one of the spiritual temples of the Tokugawa family of the Edo shogunate. The predecessor of Zojoji Temple was founded by Sorui, a disciple of Kukai and one of the eight families of the Tang Dynasty, in the shell mound of Musashi Province, which is equivalent to the area of the current Chiyoda Ward and Kioi Town, and the original temple was called Kokoji Temple, which belongs to the temple of Shingon Buddhism. In the 4th year of Meitoku (1393), the eighth patriarch of the Pure Land sect, the Venerable Master Shengcong, became the master, changed to the Pure Land sect, and changed the name of the temple to Zojoji Temple.
Tokugawa Hidetada's name is Taitokuin Hall Xinglian Society Deyu into the West Great Layman, the official position is from a Taizheng minister, the title has the general of Zhengyi, the Great Imperial Palace, and is buried in Zojoji Temple.
The next morning, everyone entered the temple one after another, and the next thing was a business.
The mourners came forward one after another to worship, and the Southeast Mansion was the first foreign regime to come forward.
Chen Jinji, on behalf of the Tokugawa Prefecture Yan Commander, expressed his deep condolences to the death of Tokugawa Hidetada, saying that his death was a great loss to the Tokugawa Prefecture, and expressed his unwavering support for the current shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, jointly maintaining bilateral friendship and actively developing good-neighborly and peaceful relations!
Ordinary people came forward to mourn, just talking, Chen Xinji purely came to speak, but no one interfered with him.
Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got what he wanted to hear!
And many of the daimyo were pleased, and some couldn't hide their disappointed expressions.
Soon, the expression turned into action, and when everyone went down the mountain at the end, Chen Xinji was almost relieved at the middle gate of Zengshang Temple, the famous "Three Liberation Gates".
Brush!
A cold light grabbed Chen Xinji's neck, as long as he cut the blood vessels, there would be a spectacular scene of fountains!
