Chapter 7o2 The Emperor of Japan is Lori!

（o7o2）

[Today's fourth shift is delivered]

Immediately, the two talked about the situation in Japan. In fact, since Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate, the situation in Japan has not changed much. Currently, the de facto ruler of Japan is called Tokugawa Iemitsu. He was the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the son of Tokugawa Hidetada, and the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate.

[Author's note: The general in the Japanese TV series "Oku" is Tokugawa Iemitsu. 】

At that time, the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate was relatively stable. The Tokugawa family controlled most of Japan's population and territory. Only a very small number of people were unwilling to submit to the rule of the Tokugawa family. In the eyes of the emperor, the strength of the Tokugawa family has become so strong that it is difficult to shake. Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family, he could only swallow his anger.

The Tokugawa family had a huge advantage, which was that they were rich. For various reasons, the Tokugawa family basically monopolized Japan's foreign trade. At that time, Japan's main fiscal revenue was foreign trade. In other words, most of the finances fell into the hands of the Tokugawa family. This is the main reason why the Tokugawa family stands out.

Although the emperor has some power in his hands, there is a serious shortage of finances, and the power of the emperor has shrunk even more in Japan, which has just ended the war. Power is usually linked to money, and the shrinking of power naturally leads to a decrease in monetary income. No matter what year you are, if you don't have money in your hand, you will be bullied, even if you are an emperor.

This situation is a bit similar to Chongzhen's embarrassing situation. Chongzhen also has no money in his hands, which will lead to today's predicament. Of course, the situation of the Japanese emperor is much worse than that of Chongzhen. In Chongzhen's hands, there is still an army. In the hands of the Japanese emperor, there was no army at all. The army was in the hands of the Tokugawa family.

At that time, Japan's firearms were all imported, and the Tokugawa family, which had mastered the economic lifeline, could naturally buy a large number of firearms and desperately expand the army, while the army loyal to the emperor, under the oppression of the Tokugawa family's army, could only wander around Heiankyo at most, and did not dare to speak at all.

Economically, the Tokugawa family had a complete monopoly on Nagasaki's trade profits. As everyone knows, Nagasaki is Japan's largest trading seaport, and all foreign trade is carried out here. In particular, the goods sold by Zheng Zhilong's pirate group are delivered here. In other words, the relationship between Tokugawa Iemitsu and Zheng Zhilong is very close.

At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong started in Nagasaki, Japan, and earned his first pot of gold by being a second-hand dealer between the Japanese and the Western powers. Later, the domestic situation gradually became chaotic, and he finally returned to China and became the head snake of the southeast coast.

Zhang Zhun's purpose is to explore the water between the Tokugawa family and Zheng Zhilong first and test the reaction of the two. If the relationship between the two is very close and the needle cannot be inserted, the Tiger Ben Army will have to change its strategy. If the two are just business relationships, and there are gaps to drill, the strategy of the Tiger Ben Army can be unfolded step by step.

"If we want to intervene in the maritime trade between the Tokugawa family and Zheng Zhilong, we must start with the emperor. It is believed that the Emperor of Japan will welcome foreign assistance. ”

Shen Lingfei said thoughtfully.

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhun nodded.

Japan's affairs, Zhang Zhun was completely entrusted to Shen Lingfei to deal with, he was only in charge of remote command. After finding out the relationship between the Tokugawa family and Zheng Zhilong, Shen Lingfei's next move was to contact the Japanese emperor to see if the two sides had any intention of cooperating.

In fact, the power of the emperor of Japan has never been particularly great, especially after the turmoil of the Warring States Period, Takeda Shingen, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other capable people have emerged in large numbers, constantly impacting the authority of the emperor. At that time, the emperor of Japan felt worse than Emperor Han Xian, and he couldn't even save his life at any time.

Finally, the Warring States Rebellion ended, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over most of the power as Sekihaku. The people of the country only know Guan Bai, not the emperor. Finally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, and Tokugawa Ieyasu popped up again. When it comes to fighting, Tokugawa Ieyasu is certainly not as powerful as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but his grasp of political power is better than that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The Tokugawa shogunate was established by him.

During the Tokugawa shogunate, the emperor's status fell further. The shogunate was nominally subordinate to the emperor, who was the supreme presence of Japan, but the emperor was not allowed to intervene in political affairs. In 5 A.D., the shogunate made it clear that the emperor could only engage in academic research or literary and artistic creation. The emperor does not have the power to appoint state officials, confer titles on monks, etc., and the emperor's only function is to determine the era name.

The appointment of high-ranking officials of the Imperial Court, the crown of clothing of the emperor and ministers, and the emperor's foreign inspections and tours must be approved by the shogunate before they can be carried out. The Emperor's orders must be annulled without the approval of the Shogunate. Even private matters such as marrying a wife and having children were inquired about by the shogunate.

At the same time, the Tokugawa shogunate set up "shoshidai" in Kyoto, which was in name of protecting the imperial court, but in fact carried out strict, round-the-clock surveillance of the emperor. The shogunate also installed the so-called "samurai den" among the ministers, which were actually liaison officers who reported the movements of the imperial court to the shogunate at any time, so that the shogunate was fully aware of every move of the emperor's court.

Although the Tokugawa family strictly limited the power of the emperor, they tried their best to win over the imperial family. This method is nothing more than a repetition of the old trick of the Fujiwara clan and the previous shoguns, that is, to control the imperial family through marriage. In 162o AD, Tokugawa Hidetada sent his daughter Kazuko into the palace to be the empress of Emperor Gomizuo, and had two sons and three daughters with the emperor. The Tokugawa shogunate only allowed the children of Kazuko to inherit the throne, and the children of other concubines were often killed by him.

In 1627, the "Purple Cloth Incident" in which Empress Sheng and the Emperor had a dispute. Emperor Go-Mizuo appointed dozens of monks as monks, and granted them purple robes, a privilege of the emperor. However, the shogunate revoked the emperor's permission on the grounds that it did not comply with the regulations, and arrested and exiled the monks who were dissatisfied with it. Deeply humiliated, Emperor Gomizuo planned to abdicate as a sign of dissatisfaction with the shogunate.

In 1629, a nurse of the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, named Kasuga Bureau (who has watched the Japanese TV series "Oku", should know this woman), came to Kyoto and asked to meet the emperor. Emperor Gomizuo felt that this kind of request to ignore his identity was simply unreasonable, but he was afraid of the power of the shogunate, so he had to accept it. Later, the more Emperor Gomizuo thought about it, the more angry he became, so he threw off his veil hat and abdicated in anger.

However, there are also those who believe that there is another hidden reason for the abdication of Emperor Gomizuo. Some people have studied history and found that Emperor Gomizuo liked to mess with flowers and grass, and he not only summoned Ji Nu into the palace, but also traveled privately, lingering in the flower street and willow lane, so that he got a venereal disease. In order to treat the unspeakable, he had to abdicate.

Whatever the reason, in short, Emperor Gomizuo finally abdicated. Under the arrangement of the Tokugawa shogunate, Emperor Gomizuo's seven-year-old daughter Koko succeeded to the throne, that is, Empress Meisho. This is the first empress to suddenly appear more than 900 years after claiming to be the Empress of Germany. Empress Meimasa was the granddaughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, and the Tokugawa family regarded the imperial court as their own chrysanthemum.

"Master, this Japanese emperor is a woman."

Shen Lingfei stroked the guy under Zhang Zhun's crotch and said with bad intentions.

"The female emperor? Oh"

After Zhang Zhun exercised intensely, he just wanted to sleep. However, Shen Lingfei's hand made him unable to sleep. Her methods are inevitably too powerful, and the occasional stimulation of her nails is indeed a bit strong. Regarding Shen Lingfei's words, he responded with a match. Actually, I don't take it to heart at all.

"Hey, sir, let me tell you, the emperor of Japan is a woman."

Shen Lingfei saw that Zhang Zhun didn't react, so she pinched it lightly, and then said dissatisfiedly.

"Ah, you tap"

Zhang Zhun suddenly reacted and screamed in pain.

"Look at you ignoring me"

Shen Lingfei said triumphantly.

She stretched out her hand and stroked the tired guy for a while, which was a comfort after a slap in the face. In order to express her apology, she also leaned over, took the dick in her mouth, swirled her tongue, and licked it carefully, making Zhang Zhun extremely comfortable.

Zhang Zhun said knowingly: "What did you say? The Emperor of Japan? Female? ”

Shen Lingfei said coquettishly: "Well, it's a woman, about the same age as Ying, do you want that." Even if you don't want it now, it's good in a few years. ”

Zhang Zhun said angrily: "You really treat me as an animal."

Shen Lingfei said malicely: "This is a serious matter. You must know that the power of the Japanese emperor is now the weakest era, and if you interfere, you have to interfere with this Emperor Meizheng. Although she is a member of the Tokugawa family, the people around her, and some hidden forces are all eager to restore the majesty of the emperor. ”

Zhang Zhun turned over and sat up, subconsciously touched his chin, and thought carefully.

and the Japanese female emperor, Zhang Zhun doesn't know how to go to his heart. He is not an animal, he only knows spring. He was trying to remember what was going on with this female emperor. He seemed to know that in the history of Japan, there was a female emperor, and the one mentioned by Shen Lingfei seemed to be the seventh. That's right, it's her, the Emperor Meisho of Japan, a poor woman who has never been married for life. Okay, all Japanese men should be killed, Japanese women...... You can use other alchemists to forgive your sins

Emperor Meisho's father was Emperor Gomizuo, and his mother was Genkazuko, so don't be fooled by the name of "Genkazuko", she is actually the daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate (Tokugawa Ieyasu's granddaughter). Emperor Ming Zheng's young name was Xingzi, so he was also called Prince Xingzi before he ascended the throne. By the time Koko was born, the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate was already very solid, and in 5 A.D., the "Laws of the Prohibition of the Prohibition of the Nation and the Public Family" had been enacted.

On the surface, this method meant that the emperor should give top priority to the practice of learning and mastery of waka, but in fact it was to limit the emperor's interference in politics. The only power of the Emperor recognized in Article 17 of the Act was Article 1, which gave the Emperor the right to determine the name of the era according to the "precursors of the dynasty." Other than that, everything else has nothing to do with the emperor.

When Koko was born, his father Emperor Gomizuo was 20 years old, and his mother and son were 17 years old.

Judging from the appearance, Emperor Gomizuo's feelings for Empress Wako (canonized in 1624 AD) are still good, and in 1625 AD, his sister Prince Akiko was born, and in 1626 AD, his younger brother Prince Takahito was born and made the crown prince. Sadly, however, in 1628, Prince Takahito died and was born to his younger brother Wakanomiya, but died of illness shortly after birth.

Listing the above chronology of the birth of Emperor Gomizuo's heirs, I also want to explain that after Xingzi, Emperor Gomizuo had two sons born, but they didn't grow up, so Xingzi had a chance to ascend the throne, which is also a trick to make people. Originally, Xingzi could live the life of her own princess smoothly, but soon the famous "Purple Dress Incident" was born, and as a result, her fate was changed.

"Purple clothes" is a symbol of honor and status conferred on monks, and in the "Laws on the Prohibition of China and Public Affairs", it is clearly stipulated that the imperial court cannot grant purple clothes privately. The granting of purple robes to monks was a major source of income for the imperial court, and the richest people in Japan at that time, except for the Tokugawa family, were the monks of the various temples. In order to alleviate the financial crisis, Emperor Gomizuo granted purple robes to more than seventy monks at one time.

Of course, this was not only an attempt to challenge the authority of the shogunate, but also for economic reasons. In 1627, Tokugawa Iemitsu instructed the Kyoto Shogunate, Izumi Itakura Shigemune, to announce that anyone who violated the purple cloth in the "Public Laws" would be dismissed from office and punished. The imperial court reluctantly said: "In the future, I will not do such ineffective things again."

This is the end of the incident for the time being. The complete victory of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the prestige of the emperor, was again dealt a serious blow. However, this cannot be directly related to Xingzisheng. The "Kasuga Bureau Worship Incident" that followed completely changed Prince Kokonai's life.

[Author's note: Kasuga Bureau is the daughter of Toshizo Saito and the wet nurse of the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. This fact is mentioned in the "Nobunaga's Ambition" series of games, whenever Saito Rizo is introduced. At that time, I was still wondering, isn't it the general's old mother, which general doesn't have a lot of them? Later, when I got to know more about it, I realized that this old woman was not simple. The matter about the Kasuga Bureau is enough to write a special article to introduce. 】

Not long after the "Purple Cloth Incident" was born, the Kasuga Bureau went to Beijing at the behest of the shogunate to meet Emperor Gomizuo, but the rule has always been that only those who hold official positions above the "five below" can enter the palace to be promoted to the emperor. Of course, the Kasuga Bureau can't have an official position from five or more, just a wet nurse, what kind of status can it have? However, under pressure from the shogunate, Emperor Gomizuo had to receive her.

Later, many of the monks who had received the purple robes of the imperial court were exiled for refusing the shogunate's orders, which had a very bad effect. After the "Purple Incident" and the "Kasuga Bureau Worship Incident", Emperor Gomizuo felt greatly humiliated, but he was unable to carry out other rebellions, so he announced his abdication, and Prince Kokonai, who was related to the Tokugawa family, was able to ascend the throne and became the first emperor in Japanese history, Emperor Akisho. The year was 163o A.D., and Prince Konai was only seven or seven years old.

If the rules of history had not changed, this woman Emperor Meisho would have reigned for thirteen years, and in 1643 A.D. (the sixteenth year of Chongzhen), when Emperor Meisho's half-brother, Prince Soegong, was eleven years old, Emperor Meisho decided to abdicate the throne to him, and he was the first Emperor Gokomei. Ming Zheng became Emperor Taijo and received 5,000 koku of rice per year from the shogunate.

Surprisingly, the female emperor lived a very long life, and did not die until the first year of the Common Era, at the age of seventy-six. At that time, this lifespan was already quite long. Emperor Meisho never married, and of course had no children. If she was allowed to choose, she would probably rather be born in an ordinary people's family and live an ordinary life.

"This Japanese female emperor seems to be about the same age as Xue Ningying......"

Zhang Zhun said to himself.

With such a weak emperor in Japan, it is indeed a good time for foreign forces to intervene. Don't look at the fact that this female emperor was arranged by the Tokugawa family, the people who support the female emperor have nothing to do with the Tokugawa family. The forces behind the emperor have always been the opponents of the Tokugawa family. The confrontation between the emperor and the Tokugawa shogunate doomed the Japanese to be unable to unite with the outside world all the time. The sudden appearance of the Tiger Ben Army at this time will definitely make the exhibition of history appear certain variables.

In fact, within Japan, the battle against the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate never subsided. One of the most famous battles was the Shimabara Uprising. Amakusa Island, south of the Nagasaki-Shimabara Peninsula, was originally a missionary center under the protection of the southwestern princes, and many peasants were religious. The shogunate transferred the original daimyo to the feudal seal and sent Matsukura Shigemasa to rule. The barren land of Shimabara and the successive famines that plagued it from 1634 onwards provoked a fierce revolt from the Matsukura clan's brutal exploitation and brutal persecution of religious farmers.

In 1637, the Shimabara peasants, centered on the believers and ronin, elected the sixteen-year-old Amakusa Shiro Tokisada as the main general and launched a rebellion. The rebels seized the lord's granary and prepared to attack Nagasaki. The shogunate mobilized more than 100,000 troops to suppress it. The 25,000-strong peasant army held on to the original city of the uprising for five months, dealing a heavy blow to the officers and troops. Later, the shogunate colluded with Dutch merchant ships to bombard the peasants. In February of the following year, the rebel army failed due to the exhaustion of food, and the leader Shi Zhen and more than 10,000 peasant men and women died heroically. But the sporadic revolt continued for a long time.

After the Shimabara Uprising, the Tokugawa shogunate intensified its policy of banning religion, slaughtering believers, and at the same time determined to impose a closed lockdown. Even before the uprising, Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu began to expel Portuguese and Spanish merchants, and forbade foreign ships to anchor outside Nagasaki and Hirado, except for China and the Netherlands. In 1633, the Tokugawa shogunate decided to expel Europeans and prohibit their own nationals from leaving the country.

In 1639, the shogunate's last "Closed Nation Decree" banned trade with foreign countries, and merchants and priests from all over the world were expelled, and only China and the Netherlands were allowed to trade in Nagasaki. Japan maintained a policy of seclusion for more than 200 years, and it was not until 1853 that it reopened under pressure from the United States. Note that this so-called China is actually the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group, and no one else is counted.

However, it was still difficult to support the Japanese emperor against the Tokugawa shogunate. At that time, the Japanese army was still quite numerous, and it was not difficult to gather 200,000 regular troops. During the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, more than 150,000 Japanese troops entered Korea. Most of these armies are currently in the hands of the Tokugawa family.

In the seventeenth century, the population of Japan was about several million, and its own population was much larger than that of the Tartars, and therefore the number of soldiers was much greater than that of the Tartars. If the population is reduced, it will certainly not work.

The Japanese armed forces have always been relatively advanced in terms of equipment. The weapons of the shogunate army have always been sold from the West, and they are basically in line with the rest of the world. The so-called large iron cannons and the like were sold by Portuguese merchants and were used in large quantities during the Warring States period of Japan. At that time, the Ming army was still using primitive arquebuses, and in real history, the Mini guns were first used in Japan.

The war between the Tiger Army and the Japanese Emperor against the Tokugawa Shogunate and Zheng Zhilong and the Western powers will definitely be protracted, and it will be impossible to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. The profits in the Japanese market are considerable, and Zheng Zhilong will not give up easily. Therefore, he will certainly come to the aid of the Tokugawa shogunate in order to maintain a monopoly on the Japanese market. Similarly, the Tokugawa shogunate would desperately seek help from outside, even from Western powers, in order to confront the emperor and consolidate the rule of the Tokugawa family.

In war, any miracle can happen, and any accident can happen. On the territory of Shandong, the Tiger Ben Army can win all battles and be invincible, but in Japan, which is thousands of miles away, it is still necessary to be cautious. Interfering in Japan's internal affairs and naval exhibitions is very crucial. Back then, the Americans knocked on the door of the Japanese with heavy artillery ships. At present, the navy of the Tiger Ben Army is not able to undertake such a heavy task for the time being.

In order to interfere in Japan's affairs for a long time, it is necessary to build Jeju Island as a logistics base. Jeju Island is less than a thousand miles away from Nagasaki, and the Tiger Army Navy is stationed here, which can pose a great threat to the Japanese. The construction of the Jeju Island Naval Base will not be completed in two years. It will also take a certain amount of time for the Tiger Navy to accumulate a sufficient number of warships.

In fact, the key to interfering in Japanese government affairs lies in Zheng Zhilong's pirate military group, followed by the Dutch. The Japanese navy is nothing remarkable, as long as the Tiger Ben Navy defeats Zheng Zhilong, it can take advantage of the superiority of the navy and exert tremendous pressure on the Japanese. However, Zheng Zhilong, as well as the Western powers, certainly did not want to see the Tiger Army take control of Japan, so their intervention was inevitable. Zheng Zhilong is fine, but the Dutch are really not easy to mess with.

At that time, the Dutch had 15,000 large merchant ships and 1,000 large warships all over the world, and they were veritable fully armed coachmen at sea. Before the rise of the British, the Netherlands was a veritable maritime hegemon. In East Asia, in the South Seas, the strongest were the naval and armed fleets of the Dutch.

If the trajectory of history had not changed, the glory of the Dutch would have lasted for at least twenty years, and it would not have been until the Anglo-Dutch War broke out in 1652 A.D., and after intermittent nearly twenty years of war, the status of the Dutch would gradually decline. However, the status of the Dutch declined, while the position of the British rose. The British were equally ambitious in their involvement in East Asia, and opium was created by them. Therefore, the Tiger Ben Army still has a strong opponent on the sea.

Besides, Japan is a bit of a perverted country, and if it is strong, it will not do the big 6 any good. The purpose of the Tiger Army's support of the emperor was to obtain the benefits of the Japanese, and by no means to allow the Japanese emperor to truly take power. Therefore, while supporting the Japanese emperor against the Tokugawa shogunate, the Tiger Army also had to pay attention to the control of Japan in the future.

Garrison, it is inevitable. It's like the United States in the future, stationing troops in Japan, crushing Japan to the death, and not even daring to let out a fart. Before the Tiger Army, the Chinese had never stationed troops in Japan. This time, we have to change history.

Suddenly I thought of Jianyu. Zhang Zhun suddenly thought to him, if Jianyu is sent to Japan and let Jianyu and the Japanese fight to the death, I don't know what the consequences will be? Thinking of this, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but smile slightly.

Shen Lingfei asked curiously, "Villain, what are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and smiled inscrutable again.

He was attracted to his own bad taste. If the Jian, as well as a large number of Mongols, as well as the natives in the ravines and ravines, were all thrown to the Japanese side and let them fight with each other, the scene would definitely be very beautiful. At that time, the Mongols could not reach Japan because of the so-called kamikaze, and the Tiger Ben Army now helped them and put them in Japan.

Of course, it should be the Han Chinese who really hold power in Japan. The Han people only need to establish a metropolitan protectorate somewhere in Japan, and implement management according to the relevant regulations of the Tang Dynasty. As long as there is a strong navy in hand, there is no need to worry that the Japanese will not give in.

Shen Lingfei didn't know Zhang Zhun's inner thoughts, and thought that he was pondering the relationship between men and women, so he couldn't help but say with a little contempt: "A Japanese female emperor, just let you be so happy, I also heard that the queen of the Mughal Dynasty over there in Nanyang is a beautiful woman with golden eyes, and even the hair underneath is golden ......."

Zhang Zhun didn't hear the first half of Shen Lingfei, and asked casually, "What is golden?" ”

Shen Lingfei's face was weird, blushing and pale, and he said hesitantly: "It's nothing? ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Oh"

Shen Lingfei really couldn't stand his jumping thinking, and couldn't help but gently pinch his dick again, and said coquettishly: "Tell you to listen to half of it, don't listen to half of it, you don't hear what you should hear, and you don't hear what you shouldn't hear......"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Why?

Zhang Zhun was already asleep.
