Chapter 441: Northern Tour - Fusang
The second day is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and the flavor of the New Year has become stronger and stronger, and even Yunxi is much lazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because Yun Xi was lazy, he pushed himself and others, and officially decided to give his children and sisters a holiday, so that Yun Zhi, who had been slandering Yun Xi for several days and had been looking forward to rest since the twentieth day of the lunar month, cheered.
In the morning, although Yunxi still got up at the usual time to get up, he stayed in the harem all morning, mainly talking to his children. Of course, there is no need to mention the matter of a little aunt mixed in.
In the afternoon, Yun Xi came to the Qianqing Palace and summoned Fang Mingqian to ask about the exploration of the north.
After Fang Mingqian saw Yun Xi, he knelt down exaggeratedly and bowed: "Minister, Fang Mingqian has seen Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ā
Yun Xi was a little confused for a while. Except for the Great Dynasty Meeting and some special times, no one will perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and bowing nine times, what is Fang Mingqian doing? It's too obvious to be a sycophant, right?
Yun Xi then asked, "What does Aiqing mean by this?" ā
Fang Mingqian said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just returned from overseas, and I heard that Your Majesty personally quelled the rebellion and found the long-lost jade seal of the country, so the minister congratulates Your Majesty!" ā
Yun Xi felt that it made sense to make a big gift because of this, but after all, it had been a few days since this happened, and it seemed to be a little late now.
How did he know that the reason why Fang Mingqian was like this was mainly to make Yun Xi happy, just in case he was not satisfied with the decision he made on behalf of Da Ming overseas without authorization, he would not send himself on the spot.
After that, Fang Mingqian began to tell about his exploration in the east and north directions.
Fang Mingqian said: "Your Majesty, the minister set off from Zhoushan on the seventh day of April this year and arrived at Ryukyu first according to His Majesty's instructions. ā
"The minister was in the Ryukyus, successively proclaimed the three kingdoms of Zhongshan, Shanbei, and Shannan, and then set off for the east after resting in the Ryukyus for a few days, and arrived at the eleventh district on the ninth day of the fifth month."
"This time, instead of going to Nagasaki to preach Fuso, as was customary, the minister sailed his fleet to a place in his country called Yokohama, which was a fine port."
"The minister remembered that His Majesty had instructed the minister to find a port on the eastern coast of Fuso, and the minister felt that Yokohama was very in line with His Majesty's expectations, so he discussed with the court of Fuso to allow the Ming fleet to be stationed there for a long time."
"The Fuso court was very surprised that the minister's fleet had arrived, and after discussion, the courtier's request was refused, but the minister's fleet was allowed to rest in Yokohama for a few days."
In addition, the self-proclaimed king of his country, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, asked the fleet of ministers to send envoys back to the capital with his ministers to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and he intended to ask His Majesty to canonize him as King of Fuso. Now the envoys of his country, Fei Fu and Zua, came to the capital with their ministers, and now they have been placed in the Fan Pavilion of the Ministry of Rites. ā
Of course, Yun Xi knew that the envoy of Fusang had come to Daming, and of course the people from the Ministry of Rites would report such a thing. And the reason why Yun Xi summoned Fang Mingqian before the New Year was also related to Fusang's envoy.
Yun Xi only knew about Fusang during this period, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the clever Ikkyu, and all the knowledge came from the smart Ikkyu animation, so it was necessary to understand the current truth of Fusang from Fang Mingqian in order to prescribe the right medicine and how to deal with Fusang's requirements.
So Yun Xi said: "Fang Mingqian, then you have also been in District 11 for a while, how is District 11 in China now?" Should I canonize this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the king of Fuso? ā
Fang Mingqian said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty will definitely not be able to canonize Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the king of Fuso!" ā
Yun Hee asked, "Why?" ā
Fang Mingqian said: "Your Majesty, the minister stayed in Fusang for more than 20 days, carefully probing the situation in his country, Fang knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not the king of his country, his name was only the minister of the Taise, and his son served as the general of Zhengyi. And its monarch has someone else! ā
"Your Majesty, the minister carefully probed the situation in his country this time, and only then did he know that Lianghuai, who was previously thought to be his king, had passed away for more than ten years, and even Lianghuai was not the king of Fuso."
Then Fang Mingqian carefully told Yunxi about the situation in Fusang.
During the reign of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it belonged to the Muromachi Shogunate period in the history of Fuso, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself was the third ruler of the Muromachi Shogunate and the Shogun of Seiyi. Before Ashikaga Yoshimitsu served as the general of the Seiyi, Fuso was in the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in which the monarch of the Southern Dynasty was Emperor Go-Kameyama, the monarch of the Northern Dynasty was Emperor Go-Harmony, and Ryohuai was the prince of the Southern Dynasty, and the real power of the Southern Dynasty was confronted with the Muromachi Shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself was very powerful, and during his reign, he pacified many daimyo who did not obey the words of the Muromachi shogunate, and eliminated the Southern Dynasty, ending the confrontation between the Fuso and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
After that, he gave up the position of the general of Zhengyi to his son Ashikaga Yoshimori, and became a monk himself, with the name of morality. However, he still served as a minister and controlled real power.
āā¦ā¦ The three artifacts representing the position of the monarch of his country were originally owned by the monarch of the Southern Dynasty, but they had to be handed over to the monarch of the Northern Dynasty at this time, Gokomatsu, and his country was called the Emperor. ā
Yun Xi pondered for a moment and then said, "In other words, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not the monarch of the eleventh district, and there is a monarch on it?" But he asked me Daming to be named the king of Fusang without authorization? ā
Fang Mingqian said, "Yes, Your Majesty." However, as far as the minister knows, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the Genji, Ashikaga is his name, and Gen is his surname, as if there is still a distinction between surnames and surnames during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. And Genji is also a royal family after Emperor Seiwa in the history of Fuso. ā
Yun Hee stood up and stomped on the ground. Of course, he knew that Fuso had a family of emperors known as the Ten Thousand Generations, so Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was definitely not the nominal supreme ruler of Fuso. But he didn't expect that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also after the emperor's family.
So that his original idea would not work. Then should Ashikaga Yoshimitsu be crowned King of Fuso? Yoon-hee thought.
Due to the influence of later generations, Yunxi did not intend to conquer Fusang by force. And Fuso in this period was not so easy to conquer. Kublai Khan's two expeditions to the east, the first time was blown away by the wind in the middle of the road, but the second time was a successful landing in Fusang, but he was unable to defeat the Fusang soldiers until the strong wind rose again, cutting off their retreat and logistical supplies, and finally failed. Although there is also a reason that the terrain of Fuso is complex and the Mangu tactics that the Mongols are best at cannot be implemented, it also shows that Fusang is not so easy to fight.
Therefore, Yun Xi wants to eliminate Fusang's so-called imperial family through various methods, so that Fuso does not have such a core that can unite the whole country, so Fuso is not a concern.
But now that he suddenly knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also a member of the emperor's family, even if he replaced the current emperor, the Fuso people would still be able to claim that they were the one of the eternal generations if they needed it in the future.
Yun Xi thought for a long time and didn't think clearly, so the other party Ming Qian said: "The matter of District 11 will be discussed later, you can talk about the matter after leaving District 11." ā
