The emperor of one country wants to change the title of the emperor of another country, such a domineering thing is afraid that only Lao Zhu can do it, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has no objection, just listen to him earnestly said: "Our country sent an envoy to the court this time, that is, to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the title of the emperor Your Majesty will naturally change!" ”

This kid is really good at sycophancy, but even if Lao Zhu makes a holy decree to let the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom change his title, he may not dare to bring it to the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, although the Wa Emperor has no strength but has power, they can inherit it for thousands of years and continue to have their own means.

Whether it was true or not, Lao Zhu's face was taken care of, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the dragon chair rhythmically, which indicated that he was in a good mood, and waved his hand: "Go on." ”

"Since ancient times, our country has been separated from the Central Plains by a strip of water, since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was sent to the Central Plains to be named the 'Han and Japanese slave kings', and the Sui and Tang dynasties sent Tang envoys to the Central Plains to learn the civilization of the Shang Kingdom, and Japan still has the legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties...... A hundred years ago, I was shocked to hear that the Mengyuan barbarians stepped on Suzhou and Hangzhou, China overturned, and the whole country of Japan mourned, so it accepted the inheritance of the Song people to resist the Mengyuan and protect the Chinese people on the sea......"

Don't think that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is talking nonsense about getting close to the relationship, most of what he said is still true, the Japanese state was very worshipful of the Central Plains civilization before the Song and Tang dynasties, otherwise there would not be a thing of taking the Japanese girl to China to borrow seeds, and after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese even stole China and claimed to be self-assured.

Ma Du knew that this kind of worship of the Japanese kingdom was not only the worship of culture, but also the worship of the strong, and when the Chinese civilization declined, it immediately turned around and absorbed Western civilization, and began to sacrifice butcher knives to the teachers who had taught him before. As for the civilization of the Japanese country, it is just a fresh-keeping cabinet for the civilization of other countries.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words, if he said it in the future life, he would definitely be shaved by big ears, but now he is very capable of fooling people, at least the indignant Buntomi just now has become much kinder when he looks at him.

“…… Today, the Holy Son of Heaven started from Huaiyou, drove out the barbarians and restored the Han family, and the whole country of Japan celebrated, only hindering the rebellion of the Southern Dynasties, and only now sent an envoy to worship, praying for His Majesty the Emperor to forgive the crime of disrespect. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu once again paused on the ground to show his submission, except for the behavior and rhetoric at the beginning, which was very perfect, so that Mado couldn't help but look at him again.

Hu Weiyong stood up and said to Lao Zhu: "Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came to the Ming Dynasty to see him as a general of the Japanese Kingdom, which shows his sincerity and respect. ”

Although Lao Zhu picked the door, he was still willing to give up the bait for fishing, and he said to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "Then I will crown you as the king of Japan to comfort your sincere respect." ”

The title of King of Japan, in history, Lao Zhu was given to a certain ruling royal family in the Southern Dynasty, and later Zhu Di was given to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, at that time Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had unified Japan, but it was just icing on the cake.

But at the moment, Ashikaga Yoshiman is young and weak, and the environment in the country is sinister, and having this title means that he has a thick thigh, and whoever moves him has to weigh it.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu thanked Emperor Daming for his long en, but his face did not show joy, but cried: "The foreign ministers did not come to the Ming Dynasty only to ask for a reward from Your Majesty, the traitors of the Southern Dynasty colluded with the remnants of the Meng Yuan to take advantage of the advantages of firearms to advance step by step, and our country was in danger, and I asked Your Majesty to send troops to save me." ”

Finally said it, Ma Du couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sending troops to Japan may not take much of a battle, but it is an unprecedented overseas battle in history, and the previous dynasty was defeated in the Japanese country, once the defeat is lost, the face of the imperial court, the number of troops invested may be more and more, and now it is unwise to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it is really unwise to open up another battlefield overseas.

The resistance from the ministers may be great, and now Lao Zhu is still talking about some rules, such as sending troops and other major matters still have to be discussed with the courtiers.

For this reason, Ma Du had to help Lao Zhu give advice, so that there was a play in Honglu Temple, which caused the Manchu Dynasty to be resentful of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.

At the moment, it seems that the effect is still good, except for a few people who oppose the Zhedong Gang, most of them are very supportive, and often meet the spring arms and sleeves, expressing his willingness to lead the army to fight Japan, he has been holding back for a long time.

Lao Zhu said to him: "I will send a thousand navy to Japan at most to help them suppress the firearms of the Southern Dynasties. What are you going to do, you can cultivate your life, and you should go to the grassland with Xu Da next year. The matter of going to Japan will be left to Tsuneshige. ”

The matter of sending troops to Japan can be regarded as finalized, and the specific matters are naturally prepared by Ma Du, a Japanese expert, and the affairs of the imperial court are troublesome, and Ma Du can only be done after running around in Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and Zhongshu Province for several days.

Mado sent Ashikaga Yoshimitsu all the way to the ship, and said to him solemnly: "A shipload of navy is waiting for you at the dock of Matsue Prefecture right now, they will follow you to Japan to support you and fight for your Northern Dynasty, but you need to pay for the money, food, and ammunition." They are all my subordinates, and if you dare to treat them badly or use them as cannon fodder, I will not spare you. ”

I'm actually very relieved about Changmao Madu, although this guy is a little confused, but he doesn't lack his heart, and it's good if he doesn't make trouble to little Japan.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu replied respectfully: "This time I came to the court thanks to the help of the Hou Ye to get what I wanted, and I will not dare to treat the Hou Ye's subordinates badly." ”

"Do it yourself!" Ma Du said that he was not yin or yang and got off the boat, and the other red tape was handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to deal with.

Ma Du rode his horse and trotted along the riverside, and walked a few miles to a small dock in the middle of nowhere, which belonged to Shen Wansan's private dock for his ships to dock, and now five more Dafu boats were parked on the edge of the trestle, the hull draft was very deep, and the cabin must be full.

Shen Wansan was sitting alone drinking tea under the shed, and when he saw Ma Guo coming, he poured him a cup, "Master Hou, where are you going to sell so many things, don't blame Shen for not reminding you that these things will lose money wherever they are transported." ”

The things that Ma Du asked him to prepare this time are very miscellaneous, and they are not ordinary miscellaneous, silk porcelain, grain and farm tools, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, cotton seeds, silkworms, all kinds of books seem to be available as long as they can be used in life, and they don't look like they are doing business, even if they move, they don't have to move so completely.

These things are naturally prepared for Zhang Minzhu, it is estimated that they are not used to eating kangaroo meat in Oceania, and they cannot use emus to plow the fields, and the lifestyle of the Han people is indispensable to these things.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is leaving, the attention of the school inspector will be distracted again, Zhang Minzhu is really dangerous to stay in Yingtian, Ma Du is ready to let her leave on the same day as the Japanese people.

With such mixed materials, Ma Du thought that he had not prepared well for a while, and it was too attention-grabbing, so he had to ask Shen Wansan to help. Ma Du took a sip of tea and said, "You don't have to care so much, everything you want to prepare is ready?" ”
