……

In 1401, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was then the shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, sent an envoy to the Ming Kingdom, claiming to be a minister to the Ming Kingdom with the name of Minamoto Daoyi, and the following year Emperor Kenbun sent an envoy to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to accept his title and crown him king of Japan.

Of course, this so-called vassal is just a name, for the Ming Kingdom, Japan has never done anything that a courtier should do, and the Ming Kingdom also ignored Japan. The reason why Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still claimed to be a vassal to the Ming Kingdom was just to obtain a large amount of wealth through tribute and private trade.

In fact, for Oda Yoshinobu, it is completely possible to do so, lose some face, and gain a lot of benefits. If Oda Nobunaga came to negotiate, he probably wouldn't even think about it and admit it directly.

It's just a pity that the envoy is Oda Yoshinobu, who has become accustomed to being an uncle in Japan.

In one of the inner rooms of the Shuntenfu Hall, with Oda Yoshinobu's words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. This can't be helped, who let Oda Yoshinobu talk nonsense? People just said that Japan was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and here Oda Yoshinobu returned to the fact that it was only the Muromachi shogunate that submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and this shogunate was about to be destroyed soon.

Well, although there is no such proper noun as a slap in the face in this era, Zhang Juzheng still feels that his face is a little hot. "Isn't it afraid that the Hontomo will send troops to help the Muromachi shogunate restore its original power? Or do you doubt the strength of this dynasty? Zhang Juzheng looked at Oda Yoshinobu and asked coldly.

"Hehe, this envoy naturally does not doubt the strength of your country, and I also believe that if your country really wants to help the Muromachi shogunate restore its former power, it will definitely be an easy matter~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled, took out a cigar and handed it to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Oda Yoshinobu strangely, and although he didn't understand what he meant, he still took it and put it aside. Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu ignored it, lit it to himself and took a puff, then looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile, "But this envoy believes that your country will not do such a boring thing, otherwise Japan would have been included in your country's territory a long time ago, isn't it?" ”

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "As for whether the family can represent their country...... It is true that the family does not now unify Japan. However, the reunification of Japan is only a matter of time for the family. Therefore, the envoy felt that the family could represent the country. Moreover, both His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Shogun of their own country think so. ”

Taking a deep puff of his cigar, Oda Yoshinobu looked at the silent Zhang Juzheng and said again, "And come to think of it, for your country, whether your country is a vassal or who the ruler is, your country doesn't care at all." In that case, why bother with this boring title? Wouldn't it be nice to discuss something really practical? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng looked at Oda Yoshinobu who was sitting in front of him, and he suddenly felt that he didn't know how to describe the person in front of him. Call him arrogant? Very accurate! In normal times, Zhang Juzheng also received many envoys to the Ming Dynasty, but no matter which one faced Zhang Juzheng, he was polite.

This is not that Zhang Juzheng has any domineering spirit, or that those envoys are born serviles, the reason why this is the case is just because they are afraid of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. For their country, the Ming Kingdom is completely a super-giant existence.

But this Oda Yoshinobu in front of him, judging from his tone, seems to know Ming Guo very well. But even so, his attitude is still the same......

"This kind of person is either a madman who doesn't take the world in his eyes, or he has absolute confidence in his own power." Zhang Juzheng thought secretly, but thinking of this, he shook his head again and denied the idea behind him.

Although the strength of the Ming Kingdom has declined compared to the past, it is still a giant for Japan, not to mention that Japan is still in turmoil at this time.

"Perhaps, he just calculated that it was impossible for this dynasty to send troops to Japan, so that's why it will be like this?" Zhang Juzheng thought strangely. But thinking of this, he didn't understand, because even if he was himself, if he changed positions with Oda Yoshinobu, he wouldn't dare to guarantee it. After all, this kind of thing is not good, but it will lead to the disaster of destroying the country.

After thinking about it, Zhang Juzheng stared at Oda Yoshinobu and asked, "How can the title be arbitrary?" But the official would like to hear the real practical things that are in the mouth of the next section. ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, "It's the envoy who is reckless, and now that the country is in troubled times, alliances and alliances have happened from time to time, so the envoy is more practical, but I also ask Lord Zhang to bear with me." ”

Okay, this kid suddenly reacted? Wholehearted...... Hawkers, at least Zhang Juzheng was almost choked by Oda Yoshinobu. After all, he pondered for a long time, and as a result, Oda Yoshinobu said that he was just used to talking like this......

looked at Oda Yoshinobu angrily, if it weren't for Oda Yoshinobu being the envoy of Japan, Zhang Juzheng really wanted to order someone to drag this kid down and beat him hundreds of boards. But now, he could only forcibly calm down, looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said in a deep voice, "I see, although this official has not experienced the world of chaos, he can understand a thing or two from the few heart-pounding words in his mouth. ”

Then he said again, "So, let's talk about the actual stuff first." It is naturally impossible for Zhang Juzheng not to know how important face is to the imperial court, but he is still very curious, what capital does Oda Yoshinobu have, so he will feel that with a mere force of Japan, he wants to establish an equal alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

Well, although Oda Yoshinobu used the titles of His Majesty and His Royal Highness when talking about the Japanese Emperor and the Shogun just now, Zhang Juzheng was still very keenly aware that Oda Yoshinobu did not have any respect for these two at all.

How so? It's like just an ordinary person's name, but it's just a special name. Well, he did guess correctly, at least the Japanese emperor is really just a title in the eyes of Oda Yoshinobu. There was no way, because he didn't know what else to call the Emperor of Japan Emperor.

But this is also very normal, after all, Oda Yoshinobu has already brought a green hat to the Japanese emperor's father and son, how can he respect them?

Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly came to his senses, "Lord Zhang, this country is rich in gold and silver, and you should know this. If you can maintain a long-term and stable trade, then your country can get a lot of gold and silver, and your own country, or your own family, can also get a lot of wealth. All of this will speed up the pace of Japan's unification......"

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "This is only one thing, and the other is that if we can conclude a trade, then this family will naturally help stabilize the safety of the route from my country to your country." Although the family now only controls the most prosperous areas of Japan, the envoy can guarantee that if a trade agreement is reached, there will be no large-scale pirates in the waters around the country, at least in the area around Japan! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded, not to mention anything else, at least Oda Yoshinobu said these two points, which are very to the point. The Ming Kingdom did need a large amount of gold and silver, and when it accepted Japanese vassals in the past, it was also to obtain Japanese gold and silver.

And Oda Yoshinobu promised to control the issue of the piko, and he was equally satisfied. Although Oda Yoshinobu only promised the sea area around Japan, at least in this way, the vast majority of the sea pirates could be reduced. Zhang Juzheng learned from Qi Jiguang that many Haikou were funded by Japanese forces. Because of this, the Ming Dynasty court was so hostile to Japan.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's expression softened, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "Third, although your country can't use it, if you can reach an agreement, then if your country needs to fight against the nomads in the north, your own country can also send troops to help." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing, but then he turned back to his poker face, looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said in a deep voice, "If your family really needs help after the unification of Japan, then I will definitely invite your country to help." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Oda Yoshinobu to say anything, Zhang Juzheng said directly, "Then, this official will report the request of the festival to the imperial court, and during this time, the festival will live here~"

"Then there's Lord Law." Oda Yoshinobu said, took out a money bag from his arms and handed it over, "This is not to hope that Lord Zhang will help the envoy to say good things at the court, but just to invite Lord Zhang to drink tea." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng's original face laughed, "If it's just tea, then the official is not welcome~ Later, the official will also ask the festival to taste the tea in this field!" ”

Then, Zhang Juzheng got up and left directly. And Hu Shouren, who saw Zhang Juzheng leaving, hurriedly walked in, "Lord Messenger, what's going on?" ”

Well, maybe it was because he followed Oda Yoshinobu to eat and drink spicy food during this time, so Hu Shouren also began to pay attention to Oda Yoshinobu's affairs?

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, "But it's just the beginning. As he spoke, he looked at Hu Shouren and said with a smile, "Shouren, thanks to you these days, this is the cost of your journey." Otherwise, if I stay any longer, I'm afraid that Brother Qi will kill someone directly~"
