"Ashikaga Yoshitsugu is not a qualified general, he likes luxury, frivolous and gratuitous, he is more of a puppet than Ashikaga Yoshimori. At present, the power of the shogunate is held by Yasuko Hino, and the local power is controlled by the generals of the Uesugi Zenhide family, and the power of the shogunate has shrunk greatly compared to that of Ashikaga Yoshitoshi.

However, this is a good thing for my Ming Dynasty, the expansion of local power has led to the reduction of the power of the shogunate, and each local government is interested in independence, and now it is just a lack of an opportunity. ”

Zhu Zhanji knew very well that Dongying was mountainous and had little land, and the country was weak. If it weren't for this environment, it would not have been possible for them to practice the feudal system for thousands of years, and they would never have formed a real centralized government.

As for the emperor, he was only an honorary leader, and he did not really control the whole country at all, like the emperor of China.

It was not until the 19th century, after the Black Ship Incident, that they began to vigorously develop trade and industry, and the whole country was united.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Gu has always wanted to divide the Dongying forces before, vigorously support the local forces, and dilute the emperor's lineage. Recently, however, Lone has changed his mind. ”

Of course, Ji Gang wants to continue to develop like this, because only the divided Dongying can make the major forces intrigued, and he can have room to survive.

If the people of Dongying are united, the pressure on him to develop in Dongying will naturally be much greater.

So he said a little nervously: "Your Highness, according to the current situation, in less than twenty years, the entire Dongying will be torn apart, forming a powerful daimyo one after another, the shogunate's right to speak, and the Shinto system's one-in-one system will be completely weakened!" ”

Of course, Zhu Zhanji knows this, but now that Qiuzi gave birth to his son, he doesn't want to leave a mess for his son in the future.

He pondered for a while and said: "Ezo is now the territory of our Ming Dynasty, Dongying only has the land of three islands, Iwami, which is rich in silver, and Zuodo Island, which is rich in gold, are all in the hands of my Daming, and they have lacked opportunities for development." What Lone wants is a place where I will continue to provide labor and women for my Daming, not a mess. ”

Ji Gang really couldn't figure out Zhu Zhanji's thoughts, and he didn't know why just three years later, Zhu Zhanji's opinion would take a 180-degree turn.

But he knew that the reunification of Dongying was definitely not a good thing for him.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to tell him directly and clearly, and now the little prince of Dongying is my species.

So Zhu Zhanji just said to Ji Gang: "The little prince of Dongying is already four years old, haven't you seen it yet...... I know you've had a good time in the past few years, so go to the bank and exchange 5,000 silver coins as a birthday gift for your fifth birthday in a few months. ”

Ji Gang not only controls Iwami Ginshan, but he is also the biggest smuggler and human trafficker in Dongying now, five thousand taels of silver, which is nothing to him.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Ji Gangdeng understood that the problem was the little prince.

The birth of the little prince of Dongying was in the autumn of the fifteenth year of Yongle, because of the poor health of King Chengguang, the heir of the Dongying royal family has always been a knot in the hearts of Dongying people.

When the little prince was born, all the celebrities in Dongying cheered.

With thousands of years of harsh hierarchies, the emperors have been excluded from the sphere of power in Toei, but they are veritable spiritual leaders.

Although the daimyo did not want the emperor to take power, they needed such a fig leaf to protect them from the wind and rain.

If there was no emperor, whether the Ming Dynasty would directly annex Toei was what the shogunate and the daimyo were most worried about.

As long as the emperor has an heir, then the Ming Dynasty wants to annex Dongying, or send the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty to take over Dongying, which will not be justified.

"The minister will personally go to the palace tomorrow to give a congratulatory gift."

Ji Gang made up his mind, and planned to wait until he left the palace to find out what was in it that he didn't know.

Only by understanding the whole situation can we make the right judgment.

Seeing that Ji Gang was so knowledgeable, Zhu Zhanji didn't have to say anything. Ji Gang is a smart man, as long as he sees the little prince, he will understand what is going on.

In fact, Zhu Zhanji's psychology is very conflicted about Dongying.

He didn't want to give Dongying a chance to develop, but he also knew that this kind of suppression could not last forever.

The development of Daming will bring a huge siphon effect, and the rapid development of Daming requires the introduction of talents. And this kind of talent circulation, after a certain period of time, will feed back to the entire region, so that the entire eastern Asia into a period of rapid development.

The stricter the control now, the greater the backlash will be in the future, and maybe the entire Dongying and Daming will fall into a complex subordinate relationship in the future.

However, if you just strictly control Dongying and leave them a space for development, you will gain a sense of belonging from most people in Dongying.

In many cases, this sense of belonging has a direct impact on long-term relationships.

After knowing that the little prince was his own species, he had a new idea, that is, to design a set of development policies specifically for Dongying.

It does not completely block the path of their development, but it must not let them get out of the control of the Ming Dynasty.

In the political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military, all-round herding control.

Among them, the most critical one is that the future Dongying royal family can only marry a noble woman of the Ming Dynasty.

The current little prince is his species, and he can only marry a noble woman of the Ming Dynasty as his wife in the future, which ensures that the bloodline will always be the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty.

Politically and diplomatically, the Ming Dynasty wanted to directly influence the power of the shogunate and prevent them from getting out of control.

Culturally, Confucian scholarship must be popularized among the people as soon as possible, so that the common people can accept the idea of great unification.

Economically, the Ming Dynasty has now controlled their handicraft economy, import and export economy, which must not be let go.

Coupled with the outflow of population, soldiers were recruited from Dongying in the future, and Dongying girls were vigorously introduced to live in Daming.

Outstanding Dongying talents are flowing into Daming vigorously, and their development cannot be out of the control of Daming.

The rumors about the little prince of Dongying are not a secret in Yingtianfu, and the characteristics of the little prince have long been spread throughout Yingtianfu under Zhu Di's arrangement.

What little prince has such a heart for Daming, Ji Gang will not believe it, what can a three or four-year-old child understand?

But the fact that the little prince looks like the emperor made Ji Gang listen to it in his heart.

He asked his subordinates to exchange 10,000 silver coins, and the next day, he personally sent 5,000 to the palace of the king of Chengguang.

Today's King Chengguang has long been ignorant of the world, although he has not become a complete idiot, but the whole person is in a trance, like a three-year-old child.

Although he and the little prince are father and son, now the two of them often play together, and the little prince is still the leader.

That is, he is now an idiot.

At the first glance of the little prince, Ji Gang immediately understood, where is this the little prince of Dongying, this is the seed of His Royal Highness!

He wouldn't think of Zhu Di, as the emperor, Zhu Di had no chance of contact with Qiuzi at all.

And before His Royal Highness went to sea, he went to the palace several times.

Ji Gang saw this clearly, and naturally knew the reason why Zhu Zhanji changed his mind. Now, he had to think about how to act according to His Highness's orders without harming his own interests.

He wanted to be in power and to support the emperor's lineage, so the current shogunate became an obstacle.

Soon, Ji Gang had an idea and decided to officially implement it after returning to Dongying.

Since the Emperor's line is now His Highness's species, it seems that there is no need for the shogunate to exist.

When he returned to Toei, he began to contact the daimyo of various parties to directly overthrow the rule of the shogunate and put the emperor in power.

On the day when Ji Gang returned to Yingtianfu, Lin San led five thousand young men and finally arrived at Beiming Mountain after spending more than half a month.

At the beginning of March, they received 1,200 pallet trucks delivered by the Ministry of Works.

Of the 1,200 pallet trucks, there are 800 light pallet trucks and 400 medium-sized pallet trucks, all of which are the latest styles of pallet trucks sold by the Ministry of Industry.

They set out from Shandong in mid-March, pulling empty carts, four people in one car, and could travel 120 miles a day.

It took them only a few days to reach Tianjin in the north.

In Tianjin, these carts were loaded with grain, leaving only a hundred empty. At the same time, 1,200 heavy horses were also received from here.

These horses are slow but heavy, and they are perfect for pulling carts.

When they arrived in Beiping, the remaining hundred carriages were also loaded with various weapons and gunpowder, but there were no muskets.

But everyone was still excited, because the gunpowder was given to them, and the court would not skimp on two hundred muskets.

After starting from Beiping, although there were cement roads along the way, their speed slowed down.

The fully loaded cart travels very slowly, and in many cases, they need to help push the cart.

But everyone is full of hope, and with these weapons, they are not afraid of any challenge.

When he didn't need to help push the cart, Lin San took turns to train the troops according to the formation of the 5,000 people.

Although the imperial court did not provide them with instructors, it gave them a lot of military books, including hundreds of tactical manuals for marching and arranging, dealing with cavalry, and dealing with infantry.

It is guaranteed that every group of 10 people will have a booklet like this.

On April 5, they finally arrived at Beiming Mountain, and were warmly welcomed by the eunuch Yishaha, who guarded the town.

And Tang Sai'er has been here for a month, and in the past month, she has been pampered, and now she looks more beautiful than the previous image of a village girl.

In the past, Lin San never minded Tang Sai'er joking with those brothers, but now seeing that Tang Sai'er was still like before, he couldn't help but be a little jealous.

Of the 5,000 people who came this time, there were less than 500 young women, all of whom were strong and strong, and were responsible for the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation of these 5,000 people.

Laundry and cooking on weekdays are all things for these women.

Tang Sai'er didn't expect her husband to be jealous because she became beautiful, because she was used to being like a man, and she didn't think she was beautiful at all.

In the camp that Ishha had arranged for them, 5,000 people gathered together and got drunk.

I'm afraid that they can get drunk at one time, and when they get out of Beimingshan, the transportation will be inconvenient in the future, the wine will be expensive, and it will be impossible to drink it if they don't care anymore.

What they talked about the most together was not the support of the imperial court, from receiving grain in Tianjin and weapons in Beiping, and now they are not worried about the credit of the imperial court at all.

They talk more about going thousands of miles and surviving and developing there.

Although the future is treacherous, they are all full of confidence.

"Third sister, has the matter of the horses been decided?"

Tang Sai'er nodded with a smile and said, "Four thousand horses have been arranged, and they are all horses that can directly go to the battlefield. And two hundred muskets, three steel cannons. ”

Gao Yang'er was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said: "We are 5,000 young and strong, plus 5,000 horses, 200 firearms, and a knife per person, no matter which tribe, we don't have to worry about it." ”

"Not only that, when we arrive in the Western Regions, the imperial court will also provide us with fifty carts of cotton, and with these cotton, we can make cotton clothes, and we will not be afraid of winter."

Tang Sai'er reached out and took out a short gun from under his armpit, which surprised everyone. "It's a short gun, and it's the first time I've seen it?"

"It's rare and weird, there were short guns in the imperial court a few years ago."

Bin Hong shouted: "Third sister, get ready." ”

Everyone didn't know what they were going to do, and they all looked at Tang Sai'er for a while. Tang Sai'er nodded with Bin Hong, and reached out to turn on the bolt.

Bin Hong threw the bowl he was drinking into the sky at once, and the big bowl flew up about five or six meters high, and when it was about to fall, Tang Sai'er raised his hand and shot it, and with a loud bang, the bowl was torn apart in the air.

A group of young people sitting below were so dumbfounded that they forgot to hide when the pieces fell, and one of the unlucky men was hit on the head by a piece of broken porcelain, leaving a wound on the door of the head and bleeding profusely.

Everyone laughed, but Tang Sai'er saw that he was in trouble, and hurriedly stepped forward to accompany him. "Brother Qiao, I'm really sorry."

The young man surnamed Qiao wiped the blood from his face indifferently and laughed, "Third sister, you are really amazing!" No, you have to teach me this trick! ”

The wound was not big, Tang Sai'er took out his handkerchief and helped him bandage it. "Brother Qiao wants to learn, and Little Sister will naturally teach. It's just that this marksmanship is practiced with gunpowder and bullets, and there will not be so much gunpowder in the future, so I have to save a little. ”

Tang Sai'er saw a lot of people in this hand, and they all looked at the fire gun on Tang Sai'er's waist with envy. The power of this firearm is so great, when it comes to the Western Regions, only they have it, and those alien races don't have it, and it's not the right to be beaten!

After being full of wine and food, Lin San and the other leaders entered the only tent in the camp.

As for the others, they dug a hole in the ground, and as soon as the two of them lay down in it, and as soon as the quilt was covered, they fell asleep.

There was nothing in the tent, only a vegetable oil lamp was lit, and the tent was also a windproof.

The leaders didn't drink too much, and when they entered the tent, their faces became serious.

Tang Sai'er sat down on the ground nonchalantly, brought the oil lamp in front of him, and then spread out a map. "A few brothers, the younger sister has been here for a month, but they have not been idle. These days, Xiaomei has been chatting with people of all ethnic groups, asking a lot of people from the Western Regions, and drawing a route map. ”

"It's not that someone from the imperial court took us there, it's still His Royal Highness Taisun's Yulin Weixue, it is said that the people who come out there are all knowledgeable in astronomy and geography."

"After all, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the imperial court doesn't know much about that side. Now the imperial court has sent a lot of people to understand the situation in the north, but the north is too big, much bigger than the Daming Pass, and the hundreds of people sent out are scattered in this territory, just like no one. We can't rely entirely on the imperial court, we always have to leave a way back for ourselves. ”

Hao Yunzhong, who had a big beard, hugged his fists and said: "The third sister is really extraordinary, Lao Hao admires it." ”

Tang Sai'er smiled heartily, brushed a strand of hair that had fallen out with her hand, and said, "Brother Hao has seen the outside, our brothers and sisters are now in the same boat, so we naturally have to unite as one." I also know that Brother Hao will definitely stand on his own in the future, but my little sister still wants to make it clear to Brother Hao. ”

Hao Yunzhong and Gao Yang'er glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said, "Third sister, please speak." ”

Tang Sai'er said with a smile: "Now that our brothers and sisters are going to the extreme west, where there are many different races, before gaining a firm foothold, we should unite and unite with the outside world." Whether it's a foreign race or a court, don't let us be divided. A chopstick is easy to break, and a chopstick is hard to break! ”

Hao Yunzhong immediately clenched his fists and said: "Third sister, please rest assured, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, before your Tanglin City is built, my old Hao will definitely not stand on his own." ”

Gao Yang'er also immediately said: "Third sister, only after the completion of Tanglin City, can we have a foundation for development." In the future, if we want to stand on our own, we can't do without the support of the third sister. So please rest assured, before the follow-up team arrives in Tanglin City, I am Gao Yang'er and only you and Third Brother Lin. ”

Tang Sai'er looked at Lin San, who nodded, and said with a hearty smile: "I, Tang Sai'er, also swear here today, as long as a few brothers help the little sister build Tang Lin City, the little sister will fully support the few brothers to build the city in the future. ”

Liu Xin, from Pingdu, said: "Although there have been associations in the past, after all, they are separated by a layer. It is better for our nine brothers and sisters to form a blood alliance today, become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, and in the future, we will face each other hand and sister, and lay down a world in the far west. ”

Lin San said at this time: "It's exactly what I want, Yan Gao, you go and get a few bowls......"

Dong Yangao immediately rushed out of the tent, and after a while, he brought a jar of wine and nine bowls.

Tang Sai'er took the lead in cutting his left wrist with a dagger, dripping a few drops of blood into the bowl, and everyone did it one by one, and then turned a bowl of blood and wine into nine bowls.

And they knelt down on the ground facing south, swore an oath, and drank the wine of blood together.

And in the palace of the Chinese army in Beiming Mountain, because Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, went to the Tatar tribe, now only Yisha is stationed here.

At this time, Chu Song was sitting under Yisha's hand and said: "After tossing for a few months, I can finally return to the capital to recover my life." Eunuch, can I have something to help you work for? ”

Of course, this is a polite remark, and he also lost Hagui as a eunuch and a prison guard, and there are countless people under his hands to serve, where does he need Chu Song, a person from Jinyiwei, to help him do things.

In this era, eunuchs are honorific titles, without any derogatory meaning, and not any chamberlain can be called eunuchs.

However, when Yisha heard this, he nodded and said, "Our family really has something we want to ask Your Excellency, but it's just for a while, but it's not easy to speak." ”

Chu Song smiled: "Eunuch, please speak." ”

Yisha said with a smile: "In the eighth year of Yongle, the emperor appointed Kang Wang as the commander of the Nuer Gandu Division, Kang Wang devoted himself to the country in the Nuer Gandu Division over the years, and established twenty thousand households and one hundred hundred households in the north of Liaodong, and incorporated all the Jurchen tribes into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and accepted the canonization of the imperial court. ”

Chu Song was a little confused for a while, what does Tikanwang mean now?

Yishiha continued: "Although Kang Wang is a Jurchen, he has also made great contributions to the imperial court. Over the years, His Majesty has also been highly valued. However, he is a Jurchen, and in Yingtianfu, no one can afford him at all.

He has a son, named Kang Fu, eighteen years old this year, brave and good at fighting, admiring the Ming culture, and wanting to marry a famous lady of the Ming Dynasty as his wife. Chu Qianhu has traveled extensively in the capital, and our family has heard of it for a long time, but I don't know if I can help make this matchmaker. ”

This is Chu Song's strength, and he asked with great interest, "What does the other party want?" ”

Yisha said with a smile: "As long as it is a woman, whether it is a concubine, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't hurt if the family declines." Kang Wang was originally a tribal leader, and in recent years, with the support of the imperial court, he has unified the northeastern departments, and his family is rich, but he doesn't care about the dowry. ”

This condition is not high at all, there is nothing else in the capital, and there are many declining families.

Kang Fu wants to take this opportunity to be accepted by the Ming Dynasty, as long as he marries a big woman, the next generation will have a Ming bloodline, and when the next generation continues to marry a Ming woman, three generations later, this can say that he is a Ming person.

Therefore, Chu Song immediately agreed, and said with a smile: "This matter is on me, and I will not disappoint the eunuch." ”

Yisha hooked his hand to his guard, and smiled with Chu Song: "The weather is bitter cold in this slave Gandusi, Chu Qianhu had better find a woman who was originally born in the north, if it is a southern woman, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand the weather of Nuer Gandusi." ”

"It's nature!"

At this time, the guards brought a tray covered with red silk. But just by looking at it, you can see that there are at least ten silver coins in the outline.

Nowadays, all silver coins are twenty pieces per tube, which is two hundred silver coins!

"A little courtesy, not respect. This Kangwang family has a big business, but he doesn't care about this. When it is done, there will be generous gifts. ”

Chu Song hurriedly said: "By all means, this Naisong sees the face of the eunuch, how can he accept the silver." ”

Yisha smiled and said: "Take it, this is not the silver I gave out, do I still want to ignore this silver?" ”

Chu Song was no longer hypocritical, took the silver, and said: "After returning to Beijing, Song will worry about this matter, and he will not let the eunuch and the commander disappoint the lord." ”
