This time, the canonization of the king of Fusang and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to Fusang was Yang Zai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHe's a veteran envoy, and Yun Xi thinks he's still useful, so he handed over such a big thing as sending Fusang to him again.

Yang Zai looked at the new monarch of Fusang who knelt down to him, and his face was proud. Of course, he knew that Ashikaga Yoshiji was not kneeling to him, but kneeling to the holy decree of the Great Ming, kneeling to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming. But he was still happy. The greatest advantage of being an envoy to a foreign country is here, and you can see the high monarch of the country bowing down to him.

Of course, the second benefit is the real benefit. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave him a lot of gifts, although they were not worth much, they were always more than his salary. Yang Zai accepted it after a little prevarication. Everyone in the Ming mission was gifted.

Of course, Yang Zai will not accept the gift of Fanguo at will, he will only accept it if he is sure that the purpose of his mission can be achieved. Otherwise, if the people of the country saw that he took money and didn't do anything, they angrily accused him of accepting bribes to the court of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't eat and left. There were also several people who were executed for this during the Hongwu period.

After that, Yang Zai officially read out Yun Xi's holy decree: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, the country of Fusang, located in the east of the Ming Dynasty, floating on the sea,......, with its obedience, crowned the king of Fusang as the king of Fusang, and admires this." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Ashikaga Yoshitsugu knelt down and said. Countless Fuso ministers and samurai who participated also knelt down. Yang Zai noticed that many people had tears on their faces.

'There are also loyal people in the small country of Fuso. Yang Zai secretly sighed.

In the evening of the same day, Ashikaga Yoshimori, on behalf of the Fuso government, officially received the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Reception that has not been officially accepted before canonization is not considered an official reception.

This is the third benefit of being an envoy to Fanguo. I saw that at the luxurious banquet, not only were the wine and food very expensive dishes and the best sake, but everyone also had a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old to accompany the wine, and the messenger of the Ming Dynasty was no exception.

To say that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty like to go to the country the most are Fusang and North Korea. These two countries are still civilized and have complete etiquette, and although the attire of the Fuso nobles is difficult for them to accept, all kinds of hospitality are the best.

It is not that there are no beautiful women in the South Seas to accompany the wine, but they are not used to those dark-skinned women, who are like the women of Fusang and North Korea, gentle and lovable. Although the daily attire of the Fusang women seems to be ghostly drawings, since the envoy who receives the Ming Dynasty will of course take care of the taste of the Ming envoy, these women who accompany the wine are painted with the popular makeup of the Ming Dynasty, which is very good-looking.

These people do not have a high official position in the country, although Yun Xi has increased the income of officials at all levels after succeeding to the throne, and the daily expenses are enough, even if they can raise a subordinate, but this kind of young and beautiful girl can't afford it.

These messengers were still doing some right things at first, but after a long time, they didn't do it right, and they laughed with the women around them one by one. I finally remember that this was a public place, and I didn't do anything excessive.

Only Yang Zaizhuang sat still, just talking to the Fusang official next to him. He has the highest official position, and he often goes on missions, and his family is quite rich, so he will not be bluffed into such a scene.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sat next to him, talking to him from time to time, asking about Daming. Yang Zai felt that there was nothing that could not be said about Daming, and basically answered. Of course, some things in officialdom he answered a little vaguely.

Yang Zai also said: "Your Excellency, after this canonization, you must hurry up and restrain the people of your country who go to the sea to be cowards. Your Majesty said before we came, it is limited to half a year, if there are still Haikou in the East China Sea, the Ming Dynasty will send sailors to Fusang to sweep the Haikou along the coast. ”

Of course, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could not allow the sailors of the Ming Dynasty to exist in the sea off Fuso for a long time, and immediately said: "Tomorrow I will order to start sweeping up the pirates." ”

"And the matter of leasing Yokohama, you see?" Yang Zai said again. Yoon-hee is still very anxious about leasing Yokohama.

Ashikaga Yoshishi said with a look of embarrassment: "This, I still need to discuss." ”

Yang Zai didn't urge, and then started chatting.

After chatting for a while, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw that it was almost time by then, and said with a smile: "It's not early today, and if you want to continue drinking, you envoys of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to continue drinking, I also have preparations in the post house in Fuso." Tonight, let these maids serve you. ”

Suddenly there was a voice that all men understand, those who like to drink continue to drink with the people around them, and those who don't like to drink pretend to be drunk, and are helped by the maid to the backyard, and from time to time they are drunk and molesting the maids around them.

The drinker drank for a while, and was helped by the maid to the backyard.

It was not until the second day of the second month of February that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty set off to return to the capital.

When they were sent away, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately said to Ashikaga Yoshinori: "Is there a rebellion among the daimyo of Kanto? ”

"Not yet. However, Aomori's daimyo seems to be on the move. Ashikaga Yoshitoshi replied.

"Aomori is located in the northeast, and even if he wants to move, as long as the daimyo of Kanto does not move, he will definitely not move. The important thing now is to guard against the daimyo of Kanto. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said.

"Yes, father. However, when the son heard that the daimyo in the Mutsu area seemed to want to go against the original mediation of the Ming Dynasty and continue to attack the Ezo people. Ashikaga Yoshinori said again.

"Of course they are going to continue to attack the Ezo. Otherwise, where did they get these slaves, and where did they come from to sell the goods of the Ming Dynasty? And it's not easy for us to stop it openly, so we can only watch them expand their power. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said.

"Now that the righteous heir has just become the emperor, and he has declared himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention them, even our cronies are not satisfied. If we also prohibit the daimyo of Tohoku from crusading against the Ezo people who have been crusading for thousands of years, I am afraid that our reputation will be even worse, and the samurai will probably lose their hearts. So I had to acquiesce. ”

"Still, it's not like there's no way around it. Last year, the Ming fleet discovered an open-pit gold mine on an island (actually a peninsula) farther north than where the Ezo people were, from which they obtained 480,000 taels of gold, and had not yet taken all of the gold there. Speaking of this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't help but have a look of envy and jealousy on his face. If the Ming fleet returned and let him know that they were carrying a large amount of gold, he would definitely send his fleet to intercept it, even if it could not become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately restrained his thoughts and came back and said: "But since the Ming can explore, we will also send a fleet to the north to explore and find gold mines." I don't believe it, Daming's fleet can be found, but my Fusang fleet can't find it! ”
