Chapter 35: Return to the Warring States

Time flies, a year has passed since the return of the Emperor from the elimination of the plagues, and Hosokawa Terumoto has stayed in Daming for more than a year and a half. Through this year's reform and running-in, the system has been quite sound.

Tianjin Port, a newly opened core port, was visited by Emperor Jiajing and the Manchu Dynasty.

There were hundreds of celebrations this time, so Emperor Jiajing could only selectively watch the three most important ceremonies:

First, the Ming Dynasty newly established the Beiyang Naval Division, whose role is to attack the main maritime combat fleet, and the Chaohu Naval Division (responsible for coastal defense), the Crossing Naval Division (the original Zheng He fleet establishment, mainly used for official voyage trade, renamed in recognition of the merits of crossing Gongyuan Huiyuan, enjoying a 35% revenue share) and called the three major naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty.

The second is that the first batch of Pinghu immigrants set sail today, prosecuted the immigration treaty, and issued a Daming green card (this certificate is a Daming national, and the stepchildren can apply for Daming nationality with a certificate).

Hosokawa Terumoto looked at the crowd in front of him who was about to sign the treaty, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up happily. Now the Ming Dynasty has been reformed by him everywhere, why? Merchants who go to sea must see the "Business Permit", and the merchant ships entering the Ming Dynasty from overseas must see the "Transportation Permit", and even the Chaohu sailors who find pirates at sea must "come and come and see your "Privateer License".

At this time, there was a commotion from the crowd that signed the immigration treaty, causing Emperor Jiajing to frown, and the eunuch on duty immediately stepped forward: "The emperor is here!" Quiet! ”

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and continued to look at the treaty in front of them, but no one was willing to sign it. Why? Because the private right to their land in the treaty is conditional, that is, the Ming Dynasty retains three rights to the land: one is the right to expropriate land, as long as the Ming Dynasty is used for public or national defense purposes, and the original landowner is compensated at a suitable market price, the expropriation of land is irresistible; The second is the planning right of land management, that is, land and development and utilization must be in line with the land use planning of the Ming Dynasty, so that the use of land resources can provide better results for the public; Third, the Ming Dynasty must collect a full amount of land tax.

"This... Doesn't it mean that what I plant on this land must be approved by the imperial court? "yes, yes. Look at what land tax there is. "Why do you need these regulations on the land you are exchanging?" "yes, yes. Is this a sign or not? ”

"Bring it! I'll sign! "Just when this group of immigrants was at a loss, one person in the crowd stepped forward and signed his name a few times, setting an example." What are you still doing? Let's sign it together, right? Could it be that the emperor can't wait for a long time? Wait a long time, watch your heads. "When it's over, urge others to sign together." Yes? Yes, yes, sign it quickly, the emperor is watching. Anyway, the land is still our own, and we still have shipping revenues, which is the real money. As soon as the group heard these half-threatening and half-seductive words, they hurriedly signed, and the first batch of immigrants were not fools.

"Hehe, Xia Xiang, this trick really works, hahaha." Emperor Jiajing said to Hosokawa Teiyuan next to him, taking advantage of the day in Daming, he also corrected his Chinese name.

"It's all the majesty of the emperor here, and Weichen's little trick is just an embellishment." Hosokawa Terugen hurriedly said respectfully, the drag he was looking for was Hu Zongxian's eldest son Hu Guiqi, and his second son Hu Songqi passed on to Matsuura Takashin, named Matsuura Songqi, inherited the name of Matsuura's family, and forced Matsuura Takanobu to retire.

The last important ceremony was the return of Hosokawa Terumoto. This time he came to Daming, helped Daming eliminate the troubles, channeled the internal troubles, and refused any assistance. At the same time, it was proposed to use the city step by step to surround the grassland, clear the wall and wilderness, compress the living space of the nomads, first occupy the east of the Songhua River, eliminate the Jurchens, and open up the land route to Sakhalin Island.

Stepping on the big boat, Hosokawa Terumoto was full of spirits, and it felt like it was really worth the trip. Before leaving, he was afraid that Ceyan Zhou Liang would have a big mouth, so he took the opportunity to stay in the envoy to strengthen the purpose of communication, and left him in Daming. At the same time, he warned Xu Jie, don't repeat the mistakes of the past, and follow in the footsteps of Yan Song, because he knows that Daming is really a "clear water is no fish" now, and even Qi Jiguang actually has to rely on corruption to pay. And Xu Jie is estimated to be much more greedy than Yan Song, but Yan Song is authoritarian and persecuts Zhongliang, while Xu Jie can be a man and a "good person".

"Huh." Hosokawa Terumoto couldn't help but laugh out loud, holding a delicate box in his hand. "What accounts for 35% of the profit, what is the exploration trade every ten years, is not as good as this." As he spoke, he opened the box excitedly, and inside was a large Yongle Tongbao copper coin. "Hahaha." Picked it up and looked at the sun repeatedly, "This is Yongle Tongbao Mother Money, haha, with this, you still have no money?" There is nothing more profitable and profitable than printing money. Goemon, well done! ”

This is not a gift from the Ming Dynasty, but Hosokawa Terumoto ordered Ishikawa Ming to steal it from the Ministry of Industry, and the pig after the Yuan costume is good at ninjutsu, especially infiltration and concealment, commonly known as Goemon.

Hosokawa Terumoto still remembers instructing Ishikawa Akira not to reveal his identity, and once he is discovered, he will wait for self-immolation. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had a habit of issuing coins to scrap the copper coins of the previous emperor in almost every dynasty. The Ming Dynasty now has several kinds of copper coins such as Hongwuzhi, Yongle, Xuande, Hongzhi and Jiajing, so the protection measures of the copper coin mother coin of the previous dynasty are not so strict, and they can be successfully stolen.

It was already early October 1557 when he returned to Hirado, and Yoshinaga Ouchi's fate was unsurprisingly explained in May of this year. As a time-traveling person who is familiar with history, Hosokawa Terumo took Tao Qingxian's eldest grandson Tsurushoumaru with him early, he is only seven years old this year, and Tao Qingxian's two sons Tao Changfang, Tao Zhenming's loyalty fell.

Tao Qingxian, who passed by Noh Island and then had already seen through the red dust, because Hosokawa Terugen had no territory, he temporarily served Hosokawa Terugen as a guest general of the Hosokawa family.

He returned to Omi Province to meet Ashikaga Shogun again, bragged and farted with him, what Ming recognized him as the rightful king of Japan, what agreed to engage in exploration and trade with him, and what Cehiko Shuliang stayed in Daming to continue to fight for greater interests for him, etc. Then he didn't want to be trapped here, and on the pretext of going out to seek help from the daimyo from all over the world, he fled from this place of right and wrong that had no room for development.

"Huh~~ Owari, I'm back again, I will ride the wheel of history from here, out of my own unique path!" Hosokawa Terumoto once again set foot on the land of Sengoku Owari.
