Chapter 372: Convincing Yasuaki Tokugawa
"What, what does Your Majesty really mean?"
Early the next morning, the freshened Han Liang came to Feng Xi's camp, and when he heard from Feng Xi's mouth that Emperor Mingbei would be abolished, and Fusang would be divided into four, and the four largest princes of Fusang would be canonized as kings, Han Liang couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
"For such an important matter, is it necessary for our family to fool the general" Seeing that Han Liang obviously didn't believe it, Feng Xi was a little unhappy on his face.
"What my father-in-law said is that the lower official is suspicious!" Realizing his gaffe, Han Liang hurriedly apologized.
Feng Xi is also a popular person in front of the Son of Heaven, and the three thousand naval officers and men under Han Liang's command at the beginning were all mixed with others at the beginning, so how could Han Liang be qualified to argue with Feng Xi
"But the situation in Fusang is really special, and the lower officials are worried that if they don't get it right, they will be beaten with chickens and eggs." At the same time, Han Liang also has difficulties.
To say that this Emperor Meibei is indeed just a puppet emperor in Fuso.
But except for Emperor Kekebei, in the past thousand years, which emperor of Fuso has not been a puppet, but why can they sit on the throne unharmed
The particularity of Fusang's national conditions made Han Liang worried, for fear that he would mess things up if he was not careful.
Feng Xi said disapprerovantly: "In our family's opinion, you are a little worried, general. It's not that our family doesn't understand the national conditions of Fuso, and the emperor's lineage does have some influence in Fuso, but if it can't be abolished, our family doesn't believe it.
If the influence of the royal family is really unshakable, then why have the successive monarchs of Fuso been puppets for thousands of years
In fact, the people of Fuso also recognized the fact that the emperor was just a puppet, so the general did not have to worry. ”
Han Liang shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, what you said is not unreasonable, and the matter is not only about this aspect
Although there are many large and small princes in Fuso, it is really said that the most powerful is Tokugawa Yasuaki, after all, the Tokugawa shogunate ruled Fuso for less than a hundred years.
If he really wanted to canonize the other princes as kings, the lower officials were just worried that Tokugawa Yasuaki would not agree. ”
"What is there to disagree with," Feng Xi sneered, "isn't he afraid that after he stands on his own, other princes will use this as an excuse to crusade against him."
Now, canonizing a few other larger princes as kings, wouldn't it just be a good thing to reduce the pressure on Tokugawa Yasuaki?
The general doesn't have to worry too much, if Tokugawa Yasuaki doesn't agree, you can tell our family directly, and our family will come forward to persuade Tokugawa Yasuaki when the time comes! ”
"The subordinate obeys!"
Helpless, Han Liang could only agree to come down.
……
Tokugawa Yasuaki, on his part, was still very surprised when he first learned from Han Liang that the Great Zhou Emperor had abolished the throne of Emperor Mingbei and canonized himself as the monarch of Fuso.
After all, when you are a bitch, you still have to set up a torii, let alone an old fox like Tokugawa Yasuaki who is mixed in the political circles
Originally, Tokugawa Yasuaki had long coveted the position of Fuso monarch, but there was no suitable excuse in the end, so he could only succumb to it.
Now that there is an edict from the Great Zhou Emperor, I have an open excuse and reason.
But before he was happy, Tokugawa Yasuaki was thundered by Han Liang's words later, "According to Your Majesty's wishes, in addition to the general's accident, Toyotomi Ichiro and two other powerful daimyo kings will be canonized, and they will be sealed on the other three large islands in addition to Honshu Island." ”
"General Han, are you mistaken," Tokugawa Yasuaki said urgently, "Fuso is a unified country, and if you do this, you will be suspected of splitting Fuso." ”
"This general is all for the sake of Tokugawa Shogun, you are thinking about it!" Han Liang took what Feng Xi had said before, and then recounted it to Tokugawa Yasuaki, "General, imagine what the other local princes will do if you are canonized as the king of Fuso, general
I'm afraid that for their own interests, they will definitely attack the general. In addition, there are clear times as an excuse, and they are even more famous.
When the time comes, general, you will be attacked on all sides, and you will not know how long you will be able to resist. ”
"But isn't there a general here," Tokugawa Yasuaki said, "General, you still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers under your command, if the old man really can't resist, can't he also ask His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor for help."
Is it possible, His Majesty the Emperor will not be saved if he dies."
"Of course not!" Han Liang said firmly, "But general, don't forget, there is a sea barrier between the Great Zhou and Fusang, even if His Majesty the Emperor of our country sends troops to reinforce the general, how many men and horses can be dispatched at that time."
You can know more about the population of Fusang than this general, besides, from Da Zhou to Fusang, the army goes on an expedition, and the military expenses along the way are astronomical, general, can you get out?"
"Yes...... But you can't do that! If His Majesty the Emperor really intends to canonize the four monarchs, who will be orthodox at that time," said Tokugawa Yasuaki.
"Naturally, it's you, and when the time comes, you will get the largest Honshu Island, occupying sixty percent of Fuso's territory.
As for the other three, they were only forced to set up in order to ease the situation. ”
In the end, Han Liang lowered his voice and said to Tokugawa Yasuaki: "General, just imagine, once your throne is secured, if you want to destroy the other three, isn't it a matter of being able to capture it?"
After Han Liang said this, Tokugawa Yasuaki began to bow his head and ponder.
Thinking about it carefully, it is really as Han Liang said.
If you stand on your own feet at this time, you will be attacked on all sides, not to mention that the throne of the king is not stable, and it is not impossible to be afraid of being in a different place.
But if there are three other princes who are canonized as kings at the same time as themselves at this time, then the other three will definitely attract some firepower, which will give them an opportunity.
You must know that the Tokugawa family's hundreds of years of shogunate rule is not in vain, and its own strength is definitely the largest among the princes.
Once you have secured the throne of the king, then the next thing is ...... Without Han Liang's teaching, Tokugawa Yasuaki knew what to do next.
However, Tokugawa Yasuaki still had a doubt, that is, whether the other three princes would accept the canonization of the Great Zhou Emperor
When Tokugawa Yasuaki raised this doubt, Han Liang smiled confidently: "General Tokugawa don't worry, since His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor has proposed this plan, there is naturally a solution to the problem." General, wait a few days with peace of mind, and when the general has arranged everything else, you can be officially canonized as the monarch of Fuso. ”
Seeing that Han Liang's words were so determined, Tokugawa Yasuaki relieved himself.
"General Han, see if you can say a word to His Majesty the Emperor again, that Toyotomi Ichiro will not be canonized as the monarch!" Whenever he thought of Toyotomi Ichiro supporting the army against him, Tokugawa Yasuaki felt uncomfortable......
