Under the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Dynasty began to face up to the European countries and carefully studied their colonial history. At this time, Britain, Spain, Portugal and other countries had entered the Americas and Africa on a large scale, and due to the severe shortage of labor, the "slave hunting war" gradually entered the climax, and the bones of countless black brothers were buried in the depths of the turbulent Atlantic, as one poet wrote

In the depths of the sea,

Muddy sand,

Lying forgotten,

The remains of a man chained.

In the dead darkness,

Glittering with the bones of the unfortunate slave,

They came out of the dark waves,

Shouting "We are witnesses"!

These histories of blood and tears are creepy in the eyes of modern people, as the elite of the Ming Dynasty in the same period, it is natural to be on the edge of the abyss, and suddenly find that the so-called Celestial Kingdom has been surrounded by crises, and Europeans have done all kinds of ugly things in the garb of "gentlemen". They finally understood why the little emperor wanted to launch a strategy of fighting for hegemony in the ocean, and they were glad that the Ming Dynasty had firmly controlled the Strait of Malacca, which had occupied the absolute initiative for the Chinese nation, and could seize the colonies of the Europeans and defend against the invasion of the enemy.

Driven by this situation, Zhu Youxiao once again convened an internal meeting of the Zhu royal family and ordered the children of the Zhu family to migrate to the frontier fortress within a time limit, as an example to encourage those poor people who had relocated to the land to look for opportunities outside. On the one hand, these royal families can continue to receive the quota of money, and on the other hand, they can also voluntarily participate in local production activities, which is undoubtedly beneficial to them. At the same time, the imperial court also relaxed the land policy in the border areas, acquiescing in the purchase and sale of land and people.

On the whole, the government-led ethnic integration was relatively stable, and the reason why it was relatively stable was that the national consciousness of Japan and Annam had awakened and continued to crowd out the Ming Dynasty's dominance in the region. These two peoples are cunning by nature, and their brains are as shrewd as monkeys, until they are unstable factors in the Chinese cultural circle. Although Zhu Youxiao had already married Oda Nobunaga's granddaughter Ichihime, and had arranged a marriage affair for the crown prince Zhu Cihong with Koko, the daughter of Emperor Gomizuo, Oda Nobuhiro and Tokugawa Iemitsu were not at ease as vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and had been secretly buying European arms, and would definitely openly be enemies of the Ming Dynasty over time.

He first moved hundreds of thousands of Satsuma people from the Dongying Seonji Division to the Quang Nam area, and then transported all the population near Thang Long to Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Kagoshima and other cities, and induced them to cooperate with the Han people in the management by improving the local social status of these immigrants, effectively alleviating the contradictions between the Han and the locals. In addition, Hou Tongzeng, Li Guozhu, Yang Tiansheng and other state and county officials also showed kindness and bought people's hearts and minds on the one hand, and planned various assassination actions to arrest those anti-China Diao people.

As for the British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Western smugglers, they have been wiped out by Xiong Wencan, Zheng Zhilong, and others, and all the remnants have been merged into the Huayuan Trading Company, so that all the arms that flow into Japan are produced in China.

Combined with modern history, the masters of geopolitics are the Anglos, and both early Britain and modern America have used this ingenuity to play with the world in the palm of their hands. Zhu Youxiao only borrowed this strategy in advance, but it had an unexpected effect at the time. Tokugawa Iemitsu sent spies to Kyushu Island many times to instigate the Japanese rebellion, but fewer and fewer people responded, not only did not affect the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but let the chief soldier Xiong Wencan and others destroy several rebel dens, and cleaned up a number of daily miscellaneous mixed into the inside.

After the rebellion was quelled, Hou Tong publicly rewarded the local people who had made meritorious contributions, and selected some people to serve in the Xuanwei Department and the state capitals, and public opinion began to turn to the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the common people everywhere want to live a peaceful life, and the Ming Dynasty can not only stay away from war and natural disasters, but also be able to carry out production activities with peace of mind, so who is willing to follow Oda and Tokugawa, these two thieves, to tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and go to the kind of days when they have no fixed place to live and may die at any time.

The growing affluence of Kyushu Island deeply touched the people of Honshu and Shikoku, who had long been fed up with the war-torn days, and some people continued to choose to smuggle people, and then it became a public fact, which made the daimyo of each feudal country very angry, and without the population, there would be no wealth and military resources to squeeze. Look at the ironclad battleships cruising in the Seto Inland Sea, their swarthy muzzles smiling like death in the sunlight, and they can only choose the sea ban and move the coastal residents inward for dozens of miles.

In fact, Hou Tongzeng and Xiong Wencan also don't want large-scale smuggling, after all, Dongying is alone overseas, and maintaining stability is their first priority. In order to solve this problem, Xiong Wencan sent the pro-Chinese Shitaro to Edo to negotiate. This person is the second son of Yasuharu Wakisaka, one of the seven guns of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's account, and he had been ordered under the tent of Konishi Yukicho earlier, and he had a certain social prestige on the island. In the face of Tokugawa Iemitsu's ridicule, he said-for-tat

"Your Highness, Ming Jun asked me to give you a message!"

In the early years, in order to train the third generation of shoguns, Tokugawa Hidetada had already handed over the affairs of the shogunate to Tokugawa Iemitsu to take care of

"Your father was originally a slave of the Toyotomi family, why did he switch to the Ming Dynasty now?"

Shitaro knew that this was a radical method and continued to speak to him

"The Emperor of our dynasty has ordered Emperor Gomio to pass on the throne to Koko, and the name of the emperor will be abolished and replaced by the king of Japan. According to the treaty, you will have to go to Nagasaki in person to congratulate. In return, the DPRK could block the sea and prohibit the increasingly rampant smuggling. ”

For this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Tokugawa Iemitsu regarded it as a great shame, angrily pulled out his sword, slashed everywhere, and shouted

"How can our emperor allow a girl under the age of four to be in charge? General Ben will not admit her identity, let alone go to worship! ”

Shitaro watched his performance quietly, knowing that Tokugawa Iemitsu was a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, and only spoke after seeing him stop

"Emperor Gomizuo has already bowed down to the emperor of our dynasty, naturally he can't call himself the emperor, he took the initiative to pass the throne to Xingzi, our dynasty and the surrounding vassal states have recognized her status, you still know a little better. As long as you are willing to go to Nagasaki to participate in the ceremony of the consecration of the king of Japan, there will be 5,000 taels of gold and 20 foreign beauties sent to your mansion. General Ben heard that these women came from Europe, Tianzhu, Persia, and Dashi, and they enjoyed it with a special taste.
