Cheng Yue smiled: "What's the bother?" Madame Jin has really helped me a lot, I didn't have many people with me this time, thanks to her, the three ladies were able to get busy. In addition, the four of them happened to have a table of mahjong, and they could pass the time in their spare time, and they had a lot of fun these days, what do you have to do with Mrs. Jin? Watch out for my three ladies to lecture you. ”

Bu Humu thought about it for a long time, and really couldn't think of a reason why he had to pick up his mother, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what the problem was.

Cheng Yue saw that he was hesitant and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Mrs. Jin, if she wants to leave, I will never object." If you want to stay, I welcome it. ”

Bu Mu withdrew from Cheng Yue's dormitory in a daze, and inquired all the way to Mrs. Jin's room. Before I reached the door, I heard the sound of mahjong beating and the laughter of several women inside.

The door was open, and when Bu Mu walked in the door, he saw that the four ladies were indeed playing mahjong in a circle, and there were four princesses sitting beside him: Wan Ze, Nang Jia Zhen, Ku Toulon and Kudu Lu Jian.

The four princesses are all interested in mahjong and are learning from the four ladies. Mrs. Jin is also a beginner, and she is very involved in playing.

Bu Humu hadn't seen excitement and happiness on his mother's face for many years, and his steps were sluggish, and he didn't feel a smile on his face.

Wan Ze looked up and saw Buhumu, and said with a smile: "Buhumu, are you here to pick up your mother?" ”

Bu Humu hurriedly saluted one by one, and said again: "Returning to the princess, the minister did have this intention, but now it seems that the minister is doing this too much, and it is better for Jiaci to stay." ”

Nangjia really smiled: "Are you here to pick up Mrs. Jin and leave?" Will I let Mrs. Kim go if she wants to leave? Let's go. Mrs. Kim will follow us in the future. Not going back. ”

Bu Kumu looked at Mrs. Jin helplessly. Mrs. Jin deliberately or unintentionally avoided Bu Mu's eyes.

Buhumu sighed and said with a smile: "Mother, the princess wants to keep guests, what does my mother think?" If the mother wants to stay, the child will go first, and then come back to greet her when the mother wants to go back. ”

Mrs. Jin blushed and whispered, "You go back first, I'm not in a hurry to leave." I have been with the three ladies all this way, and you can serve the prince with all your heart. ”

Bu Mu smiled and saluted, and said: "In this case, mother take care, the child will go back first, if there is something, please call the mother at any time." ”

Madame Jin waved her hand and bowed back without flickering.

When Bu Humu's figure disappeared, Kudu Lujian laughed in confusion and said, "Congratulations to Mrs. Jin, you finally have a companion along the way." ”

Mrs. Jin blushed and bowed her head in shame. Mrs. Luo hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Sister Jin." It's your turn to play cards. ”

Mrs. Jin typed out one without thinking, and Mrs. Gu clapped her hands and laughed: "Hu! Give money! ”

Cheng Yue gathered more than 200,000 heavy troops in Goryeo. Preparing for a large-scale Japanese invasion, the news spread all the way to Japan, causing panic throughout Japan.

At this time, Japan was in the Hojo period of the heyday of the Kamakura shogunate, and he had great respect for the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone was proud of using "Song things", especially the various items made by Cheng Yuexin, which were so sought-after that they might not be able to grab what they really wanted to use.

The transportation of "Song Wu" depended on sea transportation, and the sailors of the Southern Song Dynasty and Japan had already mastered the periodic changes of the sea monsoon and ocean currents. Every summer and autumn, take the southeast monsoon from Mingzhou at the mouth of the Qiantang River, sail to the northeast, cross the East China Sea, and after reaching the Japanese Zhijia Island, turn to the east, and arrive at Hakata in Kitakyushu in less than a day, the whole voyage only takes seven days, it is the North East China Sea route, which is called the South Island Road in Japan; From Hyogozu in, Japan, or Tsuruga Port in Echizen Province (today's Tsuruga City, Honfukui Prefecture), or Hakata in Chikuzen, Kyushu, arrive at Hirado Island, and then go south along the west coast of Kyushu to Hozu in Satsuma Province (today's Minamisatsu Town, Minamisatsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture), and sail directly to the southwest along the Yaku Islands and Okinawa Islands, you can reach the coastal port south of the Great Song River.

Japan's earlier foreign trade was the Dazaifu of Kyushu, which was officially established in 701 A.D., acting as the prime minister of the Japanese Imperial Court in the nine countries (states) and two islands (Chikuzen Province, Chikugo Province, Bunzen Province, Bungo Province, Hizen Province, Higo Province, Hyuga Province, Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, Tsushima Island, and Iki Island) The defense and government affairs of the nine countries (states) in the Saikaido region (Chikuzen Province, Chikugo Province, Bunzen Province, Bungo Province, Hizen Province, Higo Province, Hyuga Province, Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, Tsushima Island, and Iki Island) have long been entrusted with foreign affairs because they are closest to Goryeo and China.

After the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, the real power of foreign trade management was transferred from the Dazaifu of the imperial court to the shogunate's Jinsai Prefecture (in fact, the Jinsai Prefecture took over the power of Dazaifu), but the power of the Dazaifu was still very large, and the Jinsai Prefecture often also held the official position of the Dazaifu, such as the current Fujiwara Keizei, which was both the Jinsai Prefecture and the Dazaifu Shogun, who held the real power. Due to the huge profits from overseas trade, the shogunate even sent official trading ships called "Imperial Tang Ships" to participate in trade with the Song Dynasty, eager to get a share of the booming Song-Japanese trade.

Merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty mainly sold brocade, silk, spices, medicinal herbs, porcelain, books, stationery, copper coins and other commodities to Japan, and when they returned from Japan, they bought local specialties such as gold, sulfur, and mercury, as well as handmade products such as swords, folding fans, and screens.

The royal power of the Japanese court has gradually declined, and it is in the midst of a transition from an era of dualistic politics in which the imperial court and the shogunate were ruled together to an era in which the samurai class held sole power. In the second year of the Genryo calendar (1185), Minamoto Yorifan of the Genji samurai clan led a large army into Kyushu on the orders of Minamoto Yorito, and eliminated Harada Tanao, the de facto ruler of Dazaifu at the time, and in March of the same year, in the Battle of Tannoura, he annihilated the Taira clan, who were trying to continue their rebellion against Genji in Kyushu.

After the triumph of Minamoto Yorifan's army, the shogunate established the Jinsai Guardian to be responsible for the security and defense of Kyushu, and appointed Amano Enkei as the highest official position of the Jinsai Guardian, and was mainly responsible for continuing to eliminate the remnants of the Taira clan and the Minamoto Yoshitsune faction, and maintaining the shogunate's control and order over the Kyushu region. Later, starting with the two godbrothers Muto Shiyori and Otomo Nonao, the two samurai families of the Muto clan and the Otomo clan, who were more powerful in the local area, took turns to serve as the two samurai families. Among them, the Muto clan, who was a samurai, received the official position of Dazaifu Shaobi from the imperial court, and the descendants took the official name as their surname, and gradually evolved into the later local wealthy clan Shaobi clan.

Japan's official diplomatic power remained in the emperor's court, and after all, the shogun was nominally only a shogun under the emperor's edict. The institution that hosts diplomacy is the aforementioned Dazaifu. In principle, the process of handling foreign affairs generally follows the practice of Dazaifu reporting the situation of foreign countries to the Kamakura shogunate, which then reports to the imperial court, and the imperial court responds to the shogunate after studying it, and the shogunate notifies the dazaifu to deal with it.

There is also a variable in this, that is, if you do not take a detour from Kyushu to the Kamakura Shogunate, you will definitely pass through Kyoto, and Kyoto has the Kamakura Shogunate's agency stationed in Kyoto to monitor the Emperor's court, the Rokubora Prefecture. When the Rokpola Prefecture received news from Kyushu, if it was a major matter, it would basically reveal some information to the Emperor's court, so sometimes the Emperor got the news earlier than the Kamakura Shogunate.

As for the Japanese pirates in the late Southern Song Dynasty mentioned by Cheng Yue, their base camp is also in Kyushu, which is only separated from Goryeo by a strait, and they are the pirates who are known as the "evil party of the sea" in Japanese history.

As early as the Heian period in Japanese history, the world of the Japanese court was already not peaceful. In the coastal areas of Japan, especially in the Seto Inland Sea, where shipping is busy, there have been pirates who have been targeted at the official ships of various national divisions transporting tribute to the imperial court—most of them are fishermen who live in coastal areas and seem to be honest and honest, and many of them are private merchant ship owners who have completed all the procedures and seem to be operating legally. Over time, some powerful pirate groups were formed—such as the Matsuura Party, which controlled the northern coast of Kyushu at this time.

The Matsuura Party was actually a mixture of merchants, samurai, and fishermen centered on Matsuuraso in the Karatsu region of Chikuzen Province in Kyushu. In the Battle of Genpei that year, the Matsuura Party sided on the wrong side and joined the Taira camp. In the Battle of Tannoura, the Taira clan perished, and the Matsuura party naturally couldn't raise their heads in the Kamakura shogunate, where Genji was in power, so they focused more on external plunder. They were based on islands and harbors in northern Kyushu and set their sights on Goryeo on the other side of the strait.

Their den, Tsushima, is located almost halfway between Japan's Kyushu and the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and has always been a stopover for cross-strait travel.

The Chinese should also be familiar with the name of this island. In 1905, Heihachiro Togo became famous for commanding the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Tsushima to defeat the Baltic Fleet of Tsarist Russia, which had been running around most of the world to die.

Let me give you a brief overview of the political situation in Japan at that time.

The nominal ruler of Japan is, of course, the emperor, who reigns at the age of nine, Emperor Go-Uta, the ninety-first emperor of Japan, and the actual ruler of the court is his father, the ninetieth emperor Kameyama Emperor, Hisashi Tsunehito.

Emperor Kameyama was the seventh son of his father, the 88th Emperor Saga. Emperor Go-Saga ordained three emperors, first of all, he ordained the elder brother of Emperor Kameyama, Gofukakusa (Hisahito), as emperor, but his favorite was Kameyama.

When Emperor Gofukusa was sixteen years old, a severe famine occurred in Japan. Emperor Go-Saga, Emperor Go-Saga, was forced to abdicate his younger brother, Emperor Kameyama, who was only 10 years old, and when he was about to die, Emperor Go-Uta was appointed as his successor.
