The letter paper is quite exquisite and luxurious, the back is gold leaf, the golden light is brilliant, the Chinese characters written on the front paper are clear and neat, and the pen is powerful, which comes from the Japanese people, so that Yan Changwu, the orthodox Han people, is ashamed.

This letter didn't say anything, one was to greet him, and the other was to invite Yan Changwu to Edo to discuss the plan!

The signature was Tokugawa Hidetada, stamped with his seal.

Daigosho Tokugawa Hidetada!

Tokugawa Ieyasu's third son, his mother is the side room Saigo Bureau (Saigo Ai), and his young name is Nagamatsu Maru. Because the eldest brother Matsudaira Nobuyasu was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to cut his stomach in his early years on suspicion of internal communication with Takeda Shingen, the second brother Yuki Hideyasu became the adopted son of the Yuuki family, so Hidetada's official position became the heir of the Tokugawa family from a minister to the Tokugawa family, and he was the second shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate (1605-1623).

In 1623, Hidetada gave up the shogunate to his eldest son, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and followed Ieyasu's example as the "Great Imperial Palace", still living in Edo Castle to practice dualistic politics (equivalent to Tokugawa Iemitsu being the emperor, he was the emperor, and the power was still in his hands).

The messenger was handsome and said loudly: "The lower official is the shogunate's 'old man' Hiraizumi, and I have received a jade decree from His Royal Highness the Great Imperial Palace, and I implore His Royal Highness the Overseer to go to Edo and meet with His Royal Highness the Great Imperial Palace to discuss important matters!" ”

Words, bowed deeply.

The official position of the old man is not low, and it is the highest permanent position of the shogunate, and the highest person in charge of government affairs directly under the shogun's auxiliary jurisdiction, the shogunate officials of the political prime minister, a total of four or five, are appointed by the hereditary princes who have more than 25,000 koku.

So the Japanese are enough to give face, in fact, this old man is the face of the shogunate, he is beautiful, speaks Chinese smoothly, and can speak foreign languages, which is equivalent to the foreign minister.

The eighth generation of Hiraizumi called Yan Changwu "His Royal Highness", which is consistent with the title of Yan Changwu in the letter, expressing his recognition of Yan Changwu.

"Eight generations of old middlemen, you have worked hard from afar, please go down and rest first." Yan Changwu's mouth snorted and said: "Left and right, greet this old middle school well!" ”

He looked at the letter again, handed it to Chen Xinji, and said, "Let people copy an archive, and you can use the original as a family heirloom!" ”

Chen Xinji was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Overseer!" ”

This is history, after a few years, even if the children and grandchildren lose their family, they can still be sold for money.

Therefore, the Southeast Mansion is still a grass platform team, how can anyone sell people's official documents privately.

However, Chen Xinji said a little worriedly: "If His Excellency the Great Imperial Palace knew that we did this, would he not be upset?" ”

Yan Changwu laughed and said, "No! ”

"I'm attacking the Satsuma Domain now, slapping the Japanese in the face, and he still calls me His Highness, if you wipe your ass with his letterhead, he won't be unhappy!" Yan Changwu knows the Japanese people very well: "If you have the strength, they will respect you, they just owe a beating!" ”

"Then you've decided to go to Edo?" Chen Xinji asked.

"Of course, there's nothing to grab here!" Yan Changwu's answer was simple and rude.

Sure enough, it made sense, so after three days later, after packing up and transporting all the people and things that had been stolen, the fleet of twelve warships (Kaohsiung No. 1 could barely move after emergency repairs) and one ship of the Ryukyu Kingdom, only thirteen ships had to sail to Edo, which was a bit shabby.

The other ships were all carrying slaves, and originally there were three ships from the Ryukyu Kingdom, but two were requisitioned to transport slaves, and if it weren't for the face of the Ryukyu Kingdom, even his ships would have wanted to be requisitioned!

Don't say it, this time in the Satsuma Domain, in a short period of time, we robbed 10,000 Japanese people!

The Japanese slaves are actually a good source of population, compared to other races, they are more docile and obedient, and their children, raised from a young age, grew up in the atmosphere of the Chinese, can be directly naturalized in the future, absolutely loyal to the Chinese, if they fight back to the Japanese people, they will be qualified to lead the way!

It's a pity that there are too few such opportunities!

……

"Edo, we're coming!" Yan Changwu said happily on the deck.

Its name comes from the castle of Edo Castle, which was built in 1457. The construction of Edo Castle is said to have been completed by Uesugi Dingmasa, the lord of Kawagoe (present-day Saitama Prefecture) in Musashi Province, on the orders of the Ashikaga Shogunate in Kyoto, and ordered his retainer Ota Michikan to supervise it. When choosing a location, Ota immediately fell in love with the Kanto Plain, which was a humid area surrounded by mountains and the sea, and built Edo Castle ("Edo" means "estuary" and originated when the Sumida River flows into Tokyo Bay, which was then called "Edo Bay"). After that, history entered the Warring States period, in which military generals fought for many years.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Tokugawa Ieyasu won a crucial victory at the Battle of Sekigahara (defeating the monkey family), and the Edo shogunate ruled Edo Castle as its stronghold, and Edo became a political city. After that, the population of Edo Castle grew, and it gradually developed into the central city of the time, and now has a population of almost hundreds of thousands.

Over the course of its development, two different types of districts were formed: the "Shitamachi", a popular area, was home to merchants, vendors, and craftsmen who were mainly engaged in water transportation along the Sumida River, the distribution of goods at Edo Port, and various commercial activities.

On the other hand, the "Mountain Hands", an area of high social activity, was the political center of Edo Castle, including the residential areas of the daimyo and the residential areas of Hachimoto.

The political and economic development of Edo Castle also led to the flourishing of culture. The formation of the common culture also symbolized the heyday of the cultural development of Edo Castle.

After the Tokugawa clan gained the control of the Wa Kingdom, they cultivated the Bun Yenmu, and the Wa Kingdom entered into a long period of peace.

In fact, the Edo shogunate made a great contribution to the Wakoku!

When the shogunate returned to the emperor, what path did the Wakoku take?

Cherry Blossom Road!

The short-term splendor turns into long-term flower mud, which is trampled on!

Expansion abroad, occupation of Korea, attack on the Qing State, and finally lost in World War II, has not been able to become a normal country (and the garrison of the United States), bearing the original sin and never turning over, as soon as there is anything out of the ordinary, it will be beaten by the Eastern powers, and the Western powers will have a super-friendly relationship with the women of the Japanese country every once in a while, and the Japanese dare to say a word?!

……

At this time, Yan Changwu was looking at the east and west of Edo Castle with a mirror tube on Edo Bay, and a smile on his face made the Japanese people creep.

Hey, Edo!

If you mess with labor and management, let it become "the flower of Edo!" ”
