Chapter 1040 Tang Ship Incident (2)

Fusang Mo sighs in the slim, mobile phone is the most traffic-saving, ad-free site. A group of people who arrived with the division, the Tang Dynasty, the bright moon and the Han Dynasty.

From the name of China in the mainstream Japanese society, we can see the change in the mentality of this country, before the Song Dynasty, Japan called China "Han Tu" and "Tang Tu", which is the worship of the five bodies.

The Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan, the Chinese orthodoxy was destroyed for the first time, and the Meng Yuan sent heads to Japan twice, breaking the peace between Japan and Middle-earth for nearly a thousand years, making the two places hostile for more than 100 years, and Japan's thinking began to change.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ashikaga clan had declared vassals to the Ming Dynasty, but after Toyotomi Hideyoshi and most people, they had already regarded Japan as an equal existence with the Ming Dynasty and called the Ming Dynasty the Ming Dynasty.

From "Han soil" and "Tang soil" to "Ming country", this illustrates a change in the mentality of Japan.

At present, the Edo shogunate, although it knows the strength of the Ming Dynasty and has a sense of awe, still pursues an equal diplomatic policy in diplomacy.

The samurai informed the Ming envoy of the arrival of the Edo Bay and highlighted the huge warships of the Ming Kingdom, but the Edo shogunate did not care about the huge warships.

Huge, how big can it be? It's not like Japan hasn't fought against the Ming Kingdom.

The shogunate thought that the people below were making a fuss and did not take it seriously, but they immediately sent samurai to Uraga to meet the Ming envoys.

Out of courtesy, the Ming fleet did not sail into Edo Bay, but anchored in Sagami Bay, and Wu Shizhao, representing the Ming Dynasty, landed in Uraga and then went to Edo Castle to negotiate with the Tokugawa shogunate under the greeting of shogunate officials.

Along the way, Wu Shizhao saw the customs of Japan, the fields, the scenery of the houses, and the clothes of the people, all of which have this strong Tang style, which is indeed related to the feeling of Middle Earth.

When he saw the customs along the way, he couldn't help but think of the Ashikaga clan's pilgrimage to Emperor Yongle, and when Emperor Yongle asked about the situation in Japan, the Japanese envoy made a poem on the spot, "The country is better than the Central Plains, and the people are the same as the ancients." The well-dressed Tang system, the courtesy of the Han monarchs. The silver urn stores new wine, and the golden knife is full of brocade scales. In February and March every year, peach and plum are generally spring. ”

Wu Shizhao ran through the Nanyang countries, except for the three states of Annam, the other countries are far from the Chinese culture and customs, and Japan is undoubtedly closer to the Chinese culture than them.

The debate between Huayi and Yi has been debated for thousands of years, among which there is "Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di." Wu Shizhao saw the customs of Japan, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness in his heart.

After entering Edo, Wu Shizhao was taken into the post house to stay, and he asked the shogunate officials when he would receive him, but the shogunate officials just told him to wait patiently.

At that time, Japan's 50,000 horses, 1,000 warships fought fiercely with 10,000 Tang troops at the mouth of the Baijiang River, and were defeated by the Tang army, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops jumped into the sea and drowned. When recording this period of history, he said proudly, "The red flames opened the sky, and more than 400 thief boats were burned." "And not a single ship of the Don army was damaged.

This made Japan clear, and for more than 900 years, Japan did not dare to get involved in Korea again.

After the battle of Baijiangkou, the Tang army did not attack Japan, and the general in charge of the command, Liu Renliang, sent people to return the Japanese prisoners, telling Japan that the Tang Dynasty would never go on an expedition to Japan, but Japan should not work hard in the future, and should not participate in the affairs of Korea in the future.

For the Ming Dynasty, this dispatch of the fleet to Japan, to a certain extent, is an expedition of labor, which cannot last too long, especially the limited things that the fleet can carry, and it will be exhausted in a short time.

Early in the morning, Wu Shizhao and Xu Junsheng, who accompanied him, got up, and after the two washed up, they waited patiently, preparing to go to Honmaru to see Tokugawa Ietsuna, but it was not until the third day of the sun that the officials of the shogunate came.

Xu Junsheng was an experiencer and witness of the whole incident, so he had to follow him to Edo Castle.

The shogunate prepared some food for them first, each of which was very exquisite, but it was basically vegetarian, and after the two of them had eaten, Wu Shizhao proposed to see the general of Zhengyi, but the shogunate personnel could not shirk it, so they had to lead them to a large hall.

The two thought that Tokugawa Ietsuna would come, but after waiting for a while, Tokugawa Ietsuna came to the future, and several Japanese women who painted their faces whiter than rice paper and touched their red lips suddenly entered the house and began to perform songs and dances on tatami mats.

"Chief Wu! I'm afraid the Tokugawa family is ready to thin the mud! When Xu Junsheng saw this posture, he knew that Tokugawa Ietsuna was probably not prepared to meet them immediately.

Wu Shizhao bowed slightly, he also saw that the Tokugawa shogunate was unwilling to express his position, but he didn't want to offend the Ming Dynasty, so while he had good wine and good food and beautiful entertainment, he dragged it out, hoping to drag this matter down.

"How long can the fleet stay off the coast of Japan?" Wu Shizhao asked.

"In the middle of eleven, we must return south, otherwise the weather will be cold, and the fleet may be in trouble!" Xu Junsheng is a general of the naval division, and he knows more about the situation of the fleet than Wu Shizhao.

Wu Shizhao groaned, "So we only need more than a month!" ”

Xu Junsheng on the side nodded.

At that moment, Wu Shizhao stood up from the tatami mat, and the two got up to leave, when the officials of the shogunate immediately came in, apparently monitoring their movements.

"Two messengers, Yan Youyuan specially prepared a song and dance performance in order to welcome the arrival of the two, and a banquet will be held later, are the two dissatisfied with the song and dance? The contemptible can be changed immediately..."

"No need!" Wu Shizhao had a cold face, waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words, and then said to the point: "I am the head of the Imperial Domain, the eldest of the official is still in the hands of the Satsuma Domain, how can we eat, drink and have fun in Edo." This time I came to Edo, I came to the shogunate to ask for an explanation, and told the shogunate that if the shogun was fair, returned to the Satsuma Domain, and severely punished the Satsuma Domain, then our court would hand over the matter to the Shogunate and not interfere in the internal affairs of Japan, but if the Shogunate was biased in favor of the Satsuma Domain, or did not have the ability to deal with this matter, then we would do it ourselves, and the Shogunate would not have to worry about it. ”

The Shimazu clan is the daimyo of the Tokugawa family, and Wu Shizhao said this, which means that the meaning of the Ming Dynasty has been conveyed, if the Tokugawa family can't manage their dogs, then the Ming dynasty will help the Tokugawa family to take care of it.

When the shogunate official heard this, his face was a little uncertain, Wu Shizhao did not continue to entangle, but said directly: "What the Ming means, I also hope that Your Excellency will tell the general of Zhengyi that the envoy will stay in Edo for three days, and if the general does not receive him within three days, the envoy will join the fleet and go directly to the Satsuma Domain!" After speaking, he waved his hand to facilitate Xu Junsheng's departure, leaving the minister of the shogunate dumbfounded.
