Historically, the Edogawa River was originally part of the lower stream of the Watarase River, but it was manually excavated in 1641 to connect the Tone River to Tokyo Bay. After the canal was opened, it became a circulation route for transporting goods in the northeastern part of Wakoku and the northern part of Kantoku, until it was replaced by railroads in the Meiji era. Later, in 1919, the "Edogawa River Waterway" was dug and two new estuaries were created.

It is important to mention that the zero point of the Hori River water gauge at the mouth of the old Edogawa River is a datum for measuring the water levels of the Tone River, Edo River, Kasumigaura River, Naka River, etc. Y.P.0m = T.P-0.840m (T.P stands for TokyoPeil, the zero point of the average tide level in Tokyo Bay, and is a reference for measuring the water level of mountains and rivers in Japan). This water surface is the reference and level point for the teachers and students of Nakano School to map the topography of the Japanese country.

For many years, Nanchu businessmen traveled to and from the so-called Chinese places and Kanto and Kansai in the Wakoku country, and most of them used Kyoto Bay as their anchorage place, and then there were special Wakoku merchants who went to the ship to handle the relevant customs declaration and entry procedures for everyone. All kinds of goods are quickly transported to the warehouse on the shore, or loaded onto the Kanto and Tohoku regions, or carried to inland areas by people on their backs.

The plain, named after the river Edogawa, became densely populated and the city flourished. However, these days the Edogawa River is a different scenery.

While Li Huaxuan was discussing with Lie Gyatso in Gangtok, a small town thousands of miles away from Guangzhou, whether he should immediately hand over Zhe Mengxiong to the Uszangdu Si Shizong for management, the sea of Kyoto Bay was like a cloud, and the mast rigging was as dense as a forest of firewood. With the black pressure of the waves, it is like a city adrift on the sea.

On the wharf, all kinds of flags are continuous into the sea, and the family crests and flags of various big names are raised one after another. A little farther away in the canopy. It is even more crowned, and the leaders of the public family and the martial arts are all here.

The Aomei, which is guarded by several gunboats like stars holding the moon, has been continuously upgraded by Li Huamei, and is now a large ship of the sea giant. The size is close to 300 guns, and there are six groups of rocket launchers in the bow and stern of the ship, which can ignite dozens of rockets at any time.

However, at this time, the owner on the bridge was not Li Huamei.

"If the second girl is not about to give birth. I'm afraid that this time I will have to go through it myself. Thousands of miles away, but it is the goal she has always pursued. ”

On the bridge, Xu Huanshan and Shi Lang stood side by side, looking at the small squares on the shore that had been neatly lined up, and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"That's what Uncle said! Although Hua Mei was born as a daughter, she has a strong heart. The heroic and heroic place also makes the kid embarrassed. ”

Li Huamei's husband Shi Lang, although he is already a commander-in-law of the water division, is also Li Shouhan's eldest son-in-law. In terms of identity and military exploits, they are quite prominent, but in front of Xu Huanshan, they dare not make a mistake at all. The reason is very simple, in terms of qualifications, Xu Huanshan is Li Shouhan's junior follower, and belongs to the first group of people who followed the world to Jinggangshan, and placed it in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the 28 generals of Yuntai ate barley rice with Liu Xiu. In terms of position, Xu Huanshan is now the governor of Fusang. He is in charge of two towns. This is an unprecedented position in the Nanyue Army, even Zheng Zhilong, Li Shouhan's in-laws, is only the title of Admiral of the Navy. Not yet a governor. The eldest prince Li Huayu is only the acting governor of Shandong Denglai, but he has never managed two towns under his command, and he can establish meritorious deeds by managing such a large piece of territory. In terms of identity, all the young ladies in the Guogong Mansion had to salute respectfully when they saw Xu Huanshan and shouted "Uncle Xu". In the inner house, only the main lady Yan Mei'er can occasionally call Xiaohuzi to show closeness, and all the remaining ladies. All are addressed to official positions. With Shi Lang's personality and status, how could he be big in front of Xu Huanshan?

Moreover, escorting Xu Huanshan, a freshly and hot governor Fusang soldier and horse money and grain official, went to his post, but the sailor broke his head to fight for it. If it weren't for Li Huamei, who went to Li Shouhan to grind hard for Shi Lang despite the heaviness of her body, I was afraid that this errand would be snatched away by Zhang Xiaohu and others.

For Xu Huanshan's trip to Fusang to take office. The Nanyue Army was almost a general mobilization, and all the ships capable of sea shipping in the area under its jurisdiction could be requisitioned. He kept shuttling back and forth between the large and small straits of Guangdong, Taiwan, Luzon, Ryukyu, Wakoku, Hokkaido, etc., unloading a large amount of materials on one island after another, and hiring local personnel to build houses and warehouses and build dock berths. It's not a matter of being busy.

Whether it is crossing the Tsugaru-Kaikyo (TsugaruStrait) between the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido, connecting the Sea of Japan to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, going north from the strait to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Aleutian Islands to the west coast of Kitafuso, following the cold and warm currents derived from the Kuroshio Current, heading south to the coast of Kitafuso, or heading south to the Hawaiian Islands and the Pacific Ocean, and the fleet heading to western Peru and other places in Fuso, the Wakoku is a necessary link. It is also an important transit point.

During this period, the long-distance voyage at sea also had to rely on supplies along the way, and the crew and passengers needed to replenish fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat from time to time, and the ship was filled with clean water, and all the personnel and horses went to the shore to move their legs and feet.

Therefore, the importance of the Wa Kingdom is even more prominent.

"The lord ordered you to travel with me this time, in addition to escorting me and Yin Lei Shangfeng and the officials and soldiers who went to Fusang Xinchaoge and other places to take office, and the immigrants who went to the place to reclaim, I am afraid that I will show my strength in this country."

Behind Xu Huanshan and Shi Lang, dense ships, warships, merchant ships, civilian ships, wind ships, wind hunting ships, fortune ships, and sand ships covered almost the entire sea. In addition to the large and small ships of the naval division of the Nanyue Army, there are also civilian ships collected from Shunfeng Xing and other places, and sea ships hired in the waters of Liangguang and Fujian.

Although he had already ordered a speedboat to convey an order to the Wakuni when he set off from the formation, and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate at this time, cleared the entire sea surface of Kyoto Bay for the ships to moor, but at this time, the wide water suddenly became narrow and cramped.

It's not that Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't help, in fact, from the moment he received this order, he sent an order to all the daimyo of the shogunate, whether it was a daimyo of a feudal domain, a daimyo of the pedigree, or a daimyo of the outside. All the ships in the Seto Inland Sea will be ashore, and those who can't go ashore will be driven away far away to make room for the **** lords.

However, there were countless fishing boats ashore, but I didn't want to come to the hundreds of large sea boats.

In this huge fleet, in addition to more than 10,000 sailors. The rest are more than 20,000 people who want to accompany Xu Huanshan to Beifusang, in addition to carrying grain, horses, water and other things, there are all kinds of craftsmen, books and weapons and farm tools of the craftsmen, and the seeds and iron materials alone are enough for Xu Huanshan to lead Ruoshui Daochang and others to use in Beifusang for a few years.

Shi Lang and Xu Huanshan intended to show off their strength, and ordered the fleet to pull up the full flag, first to Kagoshima to fire cannons to demonstrate, to deter those who tried to be enemies of the Nanyue army, and then at Xiaguan for a while, Shi Lang accompanied Xu Huanshan to the shore to talk with the local officials of the Japanese State about a series of treaties signed here in the year. After talking about the friendship and goodwill of the Southern Wa, he traveled all the way from the Seto Inland Sea to Osaka, and from Osaka to Edo via Hamamatsu. Looking at the fierce fluttering of the flag of the Nanyue Army and the banner of the Li character on the mast, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was living in the color shed, couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart.

The Tokugawa family was the only legitimate representative of the emperor to exercise power on behalf of the Emperor in the Southern Yue Army, and the fact that the Southern Yue Army was so proud of its might in the Japanese State was also a sign that it helped him deter those foreign daimyo who had ill intentions.

In fact, this is also unfounded. After the Kyushu Boom, the Shimazu family completely became a historical term. Minami Kyushu became the shogun's personal domain, and various daimyo flattered and curried favor in front of the shogunate elder Matsudaira Nobutsuna in order to compete for a trade port. It can be said that this was the period when the power and strength of the shogunate were the strongest since the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate in the northern and southern dynasties.

There is a way to **************, the Tokugawa family has such a situation today, but I really want to thank the Nanyue Army for their great help.

So, the shogunate of the shogunate gave an order. The daimyo from all over the place hurried from their respective fiefdoms according to the standard of the pilgrimage explanation.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was no longer the Wa Kingdom of the Taiko Prefecture and the Osaka Winter and Summer Formations.

A large number of Japanese brides married off to Nanzhong to alleviate the problem of male to female ratio there, and countless farmers went to sea to become diligent farm laborers in various parts of Nanzhong, sweating in rubber forests, rice fields, and mountains. There were also groups of ronins and former samurai who stepped on the gangplanks of the sea ships with great vigor and became soldiers hired by the Nanyue Army and his allies.

The fact that these people went out to earn a living did not have a negative impact on the Japanese state. On the contrary, it made the market of the Wa Kingdom more prosperous, and the reason was very simple, a large number of laborers went to the sea to make a living, which brought a large amount of remittance income to the Wa Kingdom, a country with many places and few lands. Moreover, what was remitted to the country through the SF Credit Bureau was not the silver dollar they had earned through their hard work. Rather, it was the consistent Tongbao that they exchanged, the dyed cotton cloth they bought, and the fine japonica rice purchased at the price of cabbage in the rice paradise of Nanzhong, which was transported to the territory of the Wa Kingdom as the ballast of the sea ships.

Tongbao, cotton cloth, and rice all have super value and purchasing power in the territory of the Japanese country, and they play a role in stabilizing the financial and commodity prices in the country. Of course, the daimyo everywhere are also crazy to adopt the policy of fast flow of water, as long as it is needed by the Nanyue Army and can be exchanged for Tongbao, then they will be crazy to export. Not to mention gold and silver, sulfur and bluegrass are also crazy exports. Half of the overwhelming artillery fire of the Nanyue Army came from the sulfur of the Japanese State.

And the mercenaries, who were recruited every one or two years, made the society of the Japanese country more stable and peaceful. Those former samurai and now ronins and wild cubs have been recruited by the Nanyue army, and let them go thousands of miles away to fight for the Nanyue army, and they also gamble their own fate on the battlefield full of artillery. These factors of social instability gradually disappeared from people's eyes, or the factors of instability turned into positive social energy in a blink of an eye, which undoubtedly made ordinary people of the Japanese kingdom all the way down to officials at all levels, various daimyos, and even the Tokugawa shogun himself secretly happy.

Those who died because they did not adapt to the hardships of the sea and sea because of physical reasons, and ascended to heaven as gods on the battlefield, naturally eliminated the negative impact on the security of the Japanese kingdom physically. At best, their families would occasionally mumble a few words as they enjoyed the rice they had received in exchange for their military pay and pensions. However, people like Qin Bingwei and Bai Xingjiu, who became officers of the Nanyue Army because of their military exploits and luck, were promoted and disseminated by the shogunate in China intentionally or unintentionally, setting a positive example one after another.

"Iguchi Kiyobei. Before I became a volunteer, I was just a vendor in the market, but after becoming a volunteer, not only did my family immediately eat fine white rice, but also had enough charcoal for roasting, and every year, countless thick and beautiful cotton cloths of yellow and clear Tongbao and white flowers were sent to my home. Now he has become an officer of the Nanyue Army, and it is said that there are no less than 10,000 acres of fertile land in various parts of Nanzhong! Every year, 100,000 koku of rice is harvested! ”

Similar rumors were intentionally or unintentionally promoted by the shogunate and the daimyo to increase the amount without increasing the price in the Wakoku country. Especially among those ronin circles. In order to let them leave quickly, they all go to be the soldiers of the grandfather of the country, and conquer the Quartet for the grandfather of the country, by the way, it is best to throw all the bones in the Quartet.

And ordinary people saw the living examples around them: Shiro in the next village went to work in the rice field of the old man Nanzhong for five years, and was promoted to foreman because he spared no effort in his work. His lord's family bought thousands of acres of raw wasteland elsewhere. Let him go to the field, this guy went home to visit his relatives with a proud face, and when he faced the banquet where the villagers were welcoming him, he said: "What is this white rice, I have already eaten it and vomited when I was in Nanzhong." Not to brag with you hillbillies, I'm over there, and I can eat at least two meals of meat a day, and fish for three meals! ”

At that time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the general of the Muromachi shogunate, did not hesitate to declare himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty in order to be able to carry out exploration and trade with the Ming Dynasty. Mainly obtained copper coins, silk, tea, and porcelain, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was subservient to the banner of the Southern Yue Army. In addition to gold, silver, and copper coins, they also received a large amount of grain, cloth, silk, tea, porcelain, glass, sugar, armor, and weapons, which alleviated countless class and social contradictions in the country to the point of invisibility. The country is stable, how does this not make him feel that he is a hero who understands the current affairs?

(By the way, the historical shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not the cartoon character who was played by the little monk Ichiyu in the cartoon.) Just like Hongli is definitely not the character who can only blow his beard and stare at him. In order to be able to trade with the Ming Dynasty, he paid tribute to Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

If you don't believe it, find a paragraph of "Ashikaga Yoshimitsu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty" to take a look.

His Majesty the Emperor of Japan: Since the opening of Japan. All of them are asked in Shangbang. Morality is fortunate to uphold the country, and there is no danger at home. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the ancients, and to make the fat and rich vice-ancestor A Tong good, dedication: gold thousand taels, ten horses, thin thousands of posts, fan hundreds, three pairs of screens, armor a collar, copper pills a collar, sword ten waists, a knife handle, an inkstone, a Tongwentai. A few people who searched for the island drifters were returned. Moral sincerity is fearful, paused, and cautiously spoke.

And that little monk is resting, in the eyes of the domestic rules and precepts, he is also a dishonest flower monk. Let's not talk about things when you were young, who didn't go crazy when they were young? But when Ichixiu was 78 years old, his old man was still infatuated with a blind singer. Mori took care of Ikkyu for about 10 years, during which time he wrote many love poems revealing his love life. In the poem entitled "Dream Boudoir Night Talk", it is written: "Sometimes the rivers and seas are sometimes mountains, and the world is fame and fortune. The mandarin duck meditation quilt at night and night, the romantic whispering is idle". This poem is glamorous enough, right? Compared with his master, the old gentleman who has always relied on women to become famous, sold his strength to Bald Eagle abroad for a lifetime, and finally ran back to China to cheat and cheat, and is an eighty-two-year-old old man who married a twenty-eight-year-old apprentice grandchild graduate student, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for him! ）

"The two lords, His Majesty the Emperor of our country, the general of the Seiyi Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and other monarchs and ministers have led thousands of civil and military officials and ordinary people to wait on the dock for a long time. Please come ashore. ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who has climbed to the top of the shogunate, is even more of a hardcore pro-Nan faction, and he can be said to have benefited a lot in the process of dealing with the Nanyue army. Every midnight dream, I ask myself, if there was no encounter with the Nanyue Army, would there have been such a beautiful and rich today? Therefore, when he learned that the ships of the Nanyue Army Brigade were coming, Matsudaira Lao Zhongxin Gang was even more obliged to undertake the task of welcoming guests.

The Aomei slowly sailed into the harbor, and at the sound of the officers' orders, the sailors quickly lowered dozens of huge sails, threw down the heavy iron anchors, skimmed the thick cables, and a series of movements were as smooth as a cloud. The huge hull of the Aume slowly docked at the pier in Edo.

Facing the hilly-like hull of the Aomei, looking at the dense honeycomb-like gun windows, the Japanese officials who were neatly arranged on the dock according to their official titles and titles and kneeling to greet them, couldn't help but feel bursts of cold sweat coming out of their heads.

The sea breeze blew, and the davios' shaved scalps were suddenly chilling to the bone.

There is no way, the nature of the Japanese people has been fearful of power but not virtue since ancient times. At that time, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, came to the Japanese kingdom with tens of thousands of sailors, and immediately asked Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to hand over the heads of dozens of Japanese leaders who harassed the southeast coast, and happily accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, in front of Shi Lang's giant ship cannons, they are even more terrified kneeling in the sea breeze waiting for the arrival of the **** adult.

"Uncle, please!"

A cold light flashed in Shi Lang's eyes, and he respectfully helped Xu Huanshan down the gangway. (To be continued.) )

PS: There are sensitive words again, which make me want to cry without tears. Whoever has a monthly pass and a reward or something to comfort me!
