Any structure of governance that lasts for hundreds or even thousands of years will not have problems.

However, because of the closed social environment and rigid class division, the changes in power in their country will always change between their upper strata, and rarely affect the lower strata.

Without the existence of foreign enemies, all the upper classes also recognize the rigid ruling structure today, because they are all vested interests, which has created the entire political system that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Of course, the Emperor did not always control power. In fact, from the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate in 1185 to the restoration of the Daisei in 1867, the emperor's authority was suspended for 682 years.

In today's Toei, the political power of the entire country is concentrated in the hands of the Muromachi shogunate, and the emperor is just an ornament.

Now that Ashikaga Yoshinori had been forced to commit suicide, the shogunate's power was nominally concentrated in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshitsugu and his mother, Yasuko Hino.

However, their control is far less than that of Ashikaga Yoshinori, and although the current situation is not as chaotic as the warlord melee during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is also very difficult for Ashikaga Yoshiji to control the power of the entire Toei.

The purpose of Zhu Zhanji's expedition to Dongying was not to occupy the country, and for the Ming Dynasty, Dongying was a burden, not a treasure land.

But if it is only controlled, this country rich in gold and silver can bring a steady stream of benefits to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he did not try to find a way to eliminate the living resistance force of Toei in the region, and the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in the south, he regarded it as if he did not see it, leaving it to Ashikaga Yoshiji to have a headache.

Most of the members of the Emperor's family have also been arrested, and of course these people Zhu Zhanji will not stay in Dongying, so that they can still advocate the family of all generations in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that he could use Dongying's manpower and earn their extra productivity in the future, Zhu Zhanji would have killed them all.

Even if they don't kill them, their lives will not be easy, and the destination of the Dongying royal family is a few large courtyards in Yingtianfu.

Their women can only marry the Ming people in the future, and their men can only marry those Nanyang natives or northern barbarians in the future, so that it only takes three generations later, and the emperor's line will be completely finished.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji is only thinking about this plan in his heart at present, and he does not dare to tell anyone, otherwise, it will cause an uproar between the two countries, and it will even trigger a revolt from the entire Dongying people.

Boiling frogs in warm water and moisturizing things silently is the right way to solve the problem between countries.

Compared with the eyebrows and smiles on the side of the Ming Kingdom, the entire Dongying has fallen into a state of panic.

Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying were like the impermanence of black and white asking for their lives, holding confessions in their hands, pulling the arrested celebrities and the collateral heirs of the general, and began to blackmail from house to house.

The two of them were angry and resentful in Daming, and in Dongying, they also aroused everyone's fear.

In front of them were more than 1,000 ferocious Wakos, the only samurai Wakos left after this war, and in many battles, they lost nearly 1,000 men.

Just more than 1,000 people, for various reasons, divided into two groups.

The gang continued to gather around Hayada Saemon, hoping that after ten years of service, they would regain their freedom.

The other group has been tempted by Zhuang Jing and is willing to devote himself to Daming and obtain the recognition of Daming.

In terms of clothing and dress, they also began to move closer to the Akito.

And behind them, there is also a regular claim group composed of the inner eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, the young army, and the Yulin Guard, and each daimyo will face a stormy revenge if he does not want to take out more than one-third of his family property to atone for his sins.

Of course, all of this is not comparable to the capture of the entire emperor's line.

Starting from the recorded real Emperor Ojin, Yamato, located in Nara, ruled the entire Toei, and the emperor became the symbol of Toei because of the propaganda of the theocracy ****.

Although the speed power in their hands was now divided among the shogunate, the divine power was still in the hands of the emperor.

However, the god of Dongying became a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

What embarrassed countless Dongying people even more was that none of them committed suicide because they were captured.

From the time Emperor Komatsu was captured in late June to the beginning of July, most of the members of the imperial family were protected by samurai who had previously supported Ashikaga Yoshinori.

Around their disposition, as well as the welcome to Zhu Zhanji, Jin Chun and Ashikaga Yoshitsugu and them had many rounds of negotiations.

Because they are afraid of these pedantic civil servants and bad things, they often can't play a good deck of cards in their hands, and the advantages they have won the battlefield are easily given away at the negotiation table.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji divided several bottom lines for them that cannot be backed down.

First of all, Toei must cede Iwami Province in the west, Sado Island, Tsushima Island, and the Izu Peninsula in the east, as a military base for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming garrison in Toei will protect Toei's national security, but at the same time, Toei must bear 200,000 taels of silver every year.

Secondly, the two ports of Nagasaki and Osaka will be opened to conduct daily trade with Daming, and Daming will also open the port of Ningbo to trade with Dongying.

As for the trade between Dongying and North Korea, the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in any way.

Although this seems magnanimous, now Tsushima is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has everything that North Korea has, and it is more complete and cheaper than them.

Therefore, as long as trade between the Ming and Dongying was established, their trade with Korea would naturally decline.

Eventually, the Emperor's line had to be transferred to the Ming Dynasty to live, and the shogunate covered its living expenses.

The first condition, Tsushima Island, Sado Island is already in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and Iwami Province is in a corner and is not valued by the Dongying people.

However, the Izu Peninsula is located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, the choke point between Shizuoka and the Kanto Plain, and Kamakura, one of the three ancient capitals, to the north.

The two sides negotiated for many days over the issue of garrisoning the area, but neither side backed down.

However, Zhu Zhanji only revealed that he had heard that the Izu Peninsula had many hot springs and beaches, and that he wanted to build a royal park here, so Ashikaga Yoshitsugu did not dare to have any more opinions and agreed to cede the Izu Peninsula.

The Izu Peninsula originally belonged to the Hojo clan, but the Hojo clan was a loyal fan of the Kamakura Shogunate, and it also disappeared with the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate a few decades ago, so it is still a terra nullius.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji does not like this place because of the beautiful scenery and many hot springs, but because it holds the throat of Dongying, and the geographical location is very important.

Although Ashikaga Yoshitsugu is now in power, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops who do not obey orders, and the garrison of the Ming Dynasty is at least for a short time, which is conducive to his rule.

It was also for this reason that although he was a little worried about Daming's request to open the two ports for trade, he readily agreed to sell him a batch of arquebuses after Daming agreed in principle to sell him a batch of arquebuses.

As for the third condition, he simply couldn't ask for it.

The emperor held the divine power, and even if the Muromachi shogunate controlled the government, they had to provide for this ancestor.

Now that Daming wants to move the emperor's family to Daming, of course he has no opinion. However, this point is also the longest grinding between the two sides, because he can't ask for it anymore, and on the surface, he has to pretend to be helpless.

Otherwise, he would be giving up the interests of the emperor's family in exchange for his own rule, and other generals and lords would disobey his control.

These three bottom lines were agreed to by the Dongying people, but at the ceremony to welcome Zhu Zhanji, the two sides entered a stalemate again.

Zhu Zhanji explicitly demanded that as the imperial grandson of the Celestial Empire, when he arrived in Dongying, he must be greeted by the Dongying royal family and the shogunate.

The shogunate had no grievances about this, because they also had to bow down to the emperor.

But for the emperor to do so, most members of the imperial family were firmly opposed.

For this reason, Emperor Go-Kameyama directly protested with a hunger strike, and several of Emperor Jomitsu's uncles even committed suicide by disembowelment to protest such an insult.

But Zhu Zhanji had a tough attitude and did not back down at all.

A few days later, three members of the imperial family committed suicide, and the frail Emperor Homitsu, who was cowardly, did not dare to say a word.

Even Jin Chun thought that Zhu Zhanji's move was too forceful, and persuaded Zhu Zhanji to relax a little and let the Dongying royal family bow to greet him.

However, Zhu Zhanji did not back down, and issued a message: "If Dongying recognizes the status of the Ming Dynasty as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, he should greet him as a courtier. ”

As soon as the edict came out, four more members of the royal family committed suicide, but the rest all turned into soft bones.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, the Toei Imperial Family mourned, and Emperor Chengguang accepted Zhu Zhanji's conditions with tears and promised to kneel at the port of Osaka to welcome Zhu Zhanji.

Since he agreed to his own conditions, of course Zhu Zhanji will not continue to force them, he also wants to use tens of millions of Dongying people to help Daming do things and make money for Daming.

That's why he took a step back and promised to build a platform in the port, so that the royals would be half a block taller than the others and bow down to him on the platform.

On the 10th day of July, the sun is shining in Osaka Bay. In the middle of summer, with such a big sun, the temperature is frighteningly high from early in the morning, like a steamer.

The inner castle of Osaka, which has been renovated by thousands of craftsmen, is illuminated, and the ground is covered with red cloth from the ruins of the port to the inner castle.

Almost all of the soldiers sent out on a mission were called back, and with the exception of the soldiers who had to be kept on every ship, more than 100,000 troops had fortified the area, and the roads were lined with heavily armed soldiers.

Most of the people who were allowed to come to the ceremony were the generals and famous lords in the Guanzhong area, and they generally brought their families with them to see the majesty of the Ming Emperor's grandson up close.

In addition, there are some big businessmen who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

In the final battle of encircling and suppressing Ashikaga Yoshimori, the casualties of the Ming soldiers exceeded 1,000, not counting the number of wounded, and the death toll was nearly 300. Not all of these guns have been recovered, and at least a dozen of them are still outside.

In addition, Dongying originally also had some bird guns, although their barrels were handmade like the previous barrels of the Ming Dynasty, but it was easy to hurt people at close range.

Therefore, everyone who came to attend the ceremony could not carry any other weapons except for the ceremonial sword, and both men and women had to be searched.

This is a ceremony to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and Jin Chun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been working hard for many days, just to show the grandeur of the state of China in front of the Japanese people.

Zhu Zhanji had already gotten up early in the morning, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the cabin on the ship was like a steamer, and it was not comfortable to live in it at all.

Under the service of childhood plum Yuzhu, Zhu Zhanji took a bath, and then changed into the crown of the imperial grandson.

The official crown is not much different from that of the Qin and Han dynasties, the clothes are complicated, and the head also has a high crown, and the crown is made of nine pieces, and each of them is nine pieces of jade.

His flagship, after passing through the dredging bay, anchored only two or three hundred meters from the shore. Then there are small boats side by side, forming a pontoon bridge all the way to the pier.

At the right time, the bells and drums sounded in unison, and then the court band played the music of King Qin's breaking formation, which can be regarded as a little bad taste of Zhu Zhanji.

In the sound of majestic music, all the people on the pier worshipped together, and the great ceremony of three bows and nine bows was practiced.

Seeing the neat bowing on the shore, Zhu Zhanji truly realized the satisfaction of holding the power, which cannot be replaced by any kind of enjoyment.

After saluting, Zhu Zhanji waved his sleeves and walked down the wooden ladder to the flagship.

In front of him, there were sixteen brocade guards, and behind him, there were a total of sixty-six internal eunuchs composed of honor guards, and beside him, there were two bodyguards, twelve herald internal eunuchs, two palace maids and Li Yan formed a middle formation.

The number of people was not much, not less, exactly ninety-nine.

Of course, this does not count the two concubines around him, because they are not counted in the honor guard.

Originally, he also wanted Zheng He to come down with him, but now that he can be incorporated into the navy, Zheng He is of course unwilling to set foot on the land of Dongying as an internal prisoner.

Zhu Zhanji's footsteps were not fast, but the short journey of half a mile took only a few minutes to complete.

When he stepped on the land of Dongying, the 100,000-strong army shouted in unison, and many of the spectators who were almost frightened peed their pants.

In the port area, a one-meter high platform has been erected, and in front of the left side of the high platform is a half-meter-high platform, on which are members of the Dongying royal family, including more than 200 people from four families.

There is also a platform on the right, but it is only about 20 centimeters high, and it is all occupied by the generals of the Ming Dynasty and the officials in charge of the Muromachi shogunate.

Zhu Zhanji, who is more than 1.85 meters tall, has a geometric pattern and a neatly trimmed short mustache, the shape of which does not conform to the aesthetics of this era, but it sets off his face that is less than 20 years old and more mature.

In front of the Japanese people, who are generally only about 1.6 meters tall, Zhu Zhanji's height is like a god descending from heaven, and this kind of majestic and domineering spirit has made countless Dongying women heartbroken.

Ashikaga Yoshiji, who was kneeling on the stage, secretly looked at the tall Zhu Zhanji and sighed at the injustice of fate. The young man was four years younger than himself, but now the whole of Dongying trembled at his feet.

Yasuko Hino looked at Zhu Zhanji's figure, and also sighed, if his son had the other party's wrist, why should he be so old that he would have to go to great lengths to support him to take the position!

And Emperor Chengguang, who was like a child, trembled his body, looking at that mighty figure, his heart was full of fear. He didn't know what kind of life he would face when he arrived in Daming, and his life would be controlled by this man in the future.

And Hayada Saemon also saw Zhu Zhanji up close for the first time, and while he was impressed by his demeanor, he was more determined to assassinate himself.

The existence of such a man for a day is the biggest threat to Dongying.

He is not in a hurry to get the process of today's celebration, and now is not the best time. Although Zhu Zhanji passed in front of him, the distance was seven or eight meters.

And he had so many guards around him, and there were heavily guarded soldiers behind him.

After the envoy of the Ming Dynasty finished reading the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, the grandson would meet with the meritorious personnel in turn, and he was among them, and that was the right time.

Even if he doesn't have a chance to meet later, he will still hold a banquet in the original Nanbo General's Mansion, and there will be a chance at that time.

He knelt there, but he didn't dare to show the slightest killing intent, because he knew that there must be masters by Taisun's side, and he couldn't let them sense his killing intent.

You only have one chance, so you must be cautious.

When Zhu Zhanji sat on the high platform and was deliberately raised by half a meter on the throne, the neat military music stopped.

Everyone bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then they got up and completed the kneeling ceremony.

From mid-June to killing Ashikaga Yoshinori and capturing Emperor Sōmitsu, Zhu Zhanji sent someone to report the good news. Subsequently, Zhu Di sent Wang Yan, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, to Dongying to find out the battle situation, determine military merits, and promote national prestige.

The first two items are almost done, and now the last one remains.

Wang Yan's slightly shrill voice sounded: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says ......"

His words were picked up one by one by hundreds of eunuchs scattered all over the port area, so that everyone could hear them.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because the decree will then be printed and posted everywhere. As long as you can read and write, you can understand the Ming script.

In the face of Dongying's holy decree, Zhu Di did not pay attention to the format at all, first reprimanded Dongying Ashikaga Yoshitomo for perverse behavior and disturbed the Ming Sea with Japanese pirates, and then reprimanded the Dongying royal family for inaction and laissez-faire. Then he used a reluctant tone to explain the helplessness of the Ming Dynasty's troops.

Later, Zhu Di explained his magnanimity in the tone of the Heavenly Empire, and as long as Dongying was obedient in the future, he would no longer use force to force him.

Then, he said compassionately that he knew that the Dongying people were living a hard life, and that he would open up trade in the future, and would bring enough food to the Dongying people to ensure that the Dongying people would not run out of food to eat.

This won an uproar at the scene, Dongying really lacked everything, but the most lacking was food. If Daming can continue to transport food in the future, then the life of the Dongying people will be much better.

If this is the case, then now it is time to be taught a lesson by Da Ming, and those who hate Da Ming are limited to those who are retaliated against.

However, they forgot one thing, that is, Daming would bring food, and they also needed money to buy it, and if they didn't have money, they could only work for Daming.

Zhu Zhanji also understands that as long as Daming Energy continues to transport grain, the Dongying people will not develop their own grain planting potential, because the grain they grow themselves is more expensive than the grain that Daming transported from Jiaozhi.

At that time, Dongying was even more inseparable from the control of the Ming Dynasty.

And if they want to get the silver to buy food, in addition to the gold and silver they produce, more people can only work for the Ming Dynasty.

This exploitation of productive forces, the control of the economy, is less costly and more profitable than occupation, management, and consumption.

It's just that at this time, most Dongying people don't understand this economic model at all, just because Daming is willing to sell grain to them, they are grateful.

After Wang Yan recited the holy decree, it was the meeting ceremony of the Dongying royal family and the Dongying nobles, and they all went to the high platform in groups as a family unit.

Emperor Chengguang is two years younger than Zhu Zhanji, according to the current calculation of seventeen years old, in fact, he has just turned sixteen.

Seeing the Emperor Chengguang who was as thin as a little chicken, and looking at his wife who was only fifteen years old, Zhu Zhanji's heart moved.

If he impregnated his wife, wouldn't the future emperor be his own son!

However, this matter is difficult to operate, after all, they are surrounded by a large group of people, and it is not easy to hide it.

However, it seems that it is not difficult to capture them to Daming, and it seems that it will not be difficult to create such an opportunity in the future.

After a bit of lewdness, Zhu Zhanji met with the others in a serious manner, and comforted everyone kindly.

Every lady who came today was dressed up, but none of them dressed themselves up as monsters with thick white powder.

On the same day, Emperor Hoko gave his two young sisters to Zhu Zhanji, who was originally very interested, but as soon as he entered the house, he found two ghost-like girls, and he was furious and asked them to wash off the fat powder on their faces.

In this way, almost all Dongying people know that His Royal Highness the Ming Taisun does not like women to wear heavy makeup.

Before today, the people on Dongying's side had already inquired about Zhu Zhanji's preferences, as long as there were tall and slender girls in the family, none of them wanted their daughters to be favored by their grandchildren.

Not to mention, Zhu Zhanji really fell in love with several girls he was quite excited about, and secretly instructed Li Liang to help him register.

Since these girls were sent to the door on their own initiative, he left them, but gave them a chance, and a reason to meddle in Dongying's affairs in the future.

If he really couldn't cope with it, he would have wanted to create another nation by himself.

After the nobles, it is to meet the members of the shogunate, such a ceremony has strict procedures, anyway, Zhu Zhanji only needs to say some scenes, and the real negotiation will be carried out at the banquet later.

Finally, it was to meet the Japanese who made meritorious contributions in the war of the Ming Dynasty, among them were famous masters who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, there were Japanese traitors who had served at the beginning and merchants who spent a large number of gold and silver trade.

It was almost noon, and the hot weather was a little low on everyone's energy. It was at this time that Hayada Saemon climbed the high platform and came to Zhu Zhanji in line.

Hayada Saemon desperately suppressed his hatred, revealing some passionate emotions, which is also the expression of most people.

His hands kept shaking in his sleeves, not because he was afraid, he had already put his life and death on the line.

He was just excited, excited, and genuinely proud of himself......
