Chapter 1181: Claiming the Vassal Is Just the Beginning
readx;?Ying Tianfu, Tangshan Hot Spring Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Located about 40 miles east of Fort Maria on the Purple Mountain, it was built to protect the Ming Emperor from increasing industrial pollution. Since the construction began in 1860, it took 3 years to complete, and it cost Emperor Zhu millions of silver dollars - Emperor Zhu, who was not a good person in the first place, after being the son of the emperor for more than ten years, this life is really becoming more and more corrupt! Millions of silver dollars, which were spent without blinking an eye, were much more extravagant than the Empress Dowager Cixi in history. It's just that the money he spends is the dividends of the royal consortium, and as the royal consortium gets bigger and bigger, the dividends are also increasing, and it is really effortless to support the ** life of Emperor Zhu's family.
In one of the courtyards in the center of the Tangshan Hot Spring Palace, there is a white-filled pool, which is steaming and has a faint smell of sulfur. It is a hot spring, the rockery around the small pond is scattered, and a few shades are shaded, which is quite charming. On the edge of the pool, at this time, there was already a man leaning on it, his eyes seemed to be closed, leaning his face back there, and he was enjoying the massage of several **naked young girls. The man who can enjoy himself so much in the Ming Palace is, of course, Zhu Jishi, the son of the Great Tomorrow. He is now spending his vacation at the Tangshan Hot Spring Palace, and by the way, he is reunited with Tokugawa Akiko, who has returned to Nanjing.
The girls who are massaging him now are the female surnames of Akiko, all of whom are beautiful little girls selected from the homes of the Flag Book or the Imperial Family, and have undergone several years of rigorous training in Otsu Miyagi before they can be qualified to guard around their "female generals". And these few are the best among the female surnames, and they were given to Emperor Zhu as gifts by Mingzi. It sounds like a lot of life. But in fact, it is a good thing that cannot be desired. The family character of the flag and the royal family. In today's Japan, there is more than enough. The eldest son in the family can also inherit the family name and have the opportunity to get a public office in Japan. The concubine can only go to be a soldier or go to the Ming Dynasty and New Japan.
As for her daughter, she has no future at all. It is difficult to marry the eldest son of the same family, because they tend to rise to the rank of a concubine of the next class. And concubines of the same family usually can't afford to marry a wife until they become famous. Marrying a wealthy commoner and losing his samurai status is unwilling to do so, so he can often only make a side room for high-ranking samurai. And those high-level warriors are not much richer unless they are at the level of the head of the 300 famous families, and their side rooms are not as good as being the maids of the Ming Emperor in any case. If you are pampered a few times, you may be able to become a famous waiter, which can make the whole family shine, and if you give birth to a son, the future is even brighter. Maybe she can become the mother of the kings of the Ming vassal country in the future......
There were also several young women kneeling on the edge of the pool, all of whom were wearing kimonos, each with a tray or a towel, or a wine bottle or glass, or a melon and fruit snack.
At this time, there was a sound of water, and I saw Tokugawa Akiko coming out of the water, pulling her long hair back with both hands, and then swimming to Emperor Zhu's side. Leaning comfortably on the emperor's arms like a cat.
Zhu Jishi opened his eyes and looked at this man who had followed him for more than ten years. The woman who has been raised from Lori to a smiles: "Akiko, how is it, how does it feel to be in charge of a country?" ”
Mingzi snorted lightly and said, "It's just thankless, you work for the country and the people day and night, but in the end, few people say good things about you." “
It seems that this "Japanese Queen Mother of the West" is really not good. Zhu Jishi smiled, a big hand was still lingering on Mingzi's considerable chest, although Mingzi is now 30 years old and is still a mother of two children, but his figure is still good, and he is a little childish.
"So you want Xingyi to take away the world of Jiaxing? If this thing really succeeds, I'm afraid that there will be more people who speak ill of you. “
"No, it won't." Akiko shook her head with certainty, "Iyayuki can be the king of Japan, and Yukiyoshi can do it, neither of them is the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor...... For the Japanese, it makes no difference! And Yukiyoshi is your heir, and his bloodline is more noble than Ieyuki, and he is more justified as the king of Japan. Your Majesty, the national consciousness of the Japanese people has not yet been fully generated, and it is the best time to include Japan in the Ming Empire system! “
What a traitor! These two words appeared in Zhu Jishi's mind, and his eyes swept around, taking in the expressions of the female surnames. Each of them looked at themselves with longing eyes...... There really doesn't seem to be any national consciousness.
"Is there really no problem?" Zhu Jishi asked hesitantly.
"There is no problem with the plan!" Tokugawa Akiko Masasei said, "It is the most elite person in Japan who is making this suggestion now. They were all willing to entrust their country to His Majesty in exchange for an opportunity to open a new Japan in South America...... What else do you have to hesitate about such an opportunity? This is Japan's voluntary surrender to the arms of the Ming Dynasty! “
This thing really sounds like a dream to Zhu Jishi! But in the world of this era, it is indeed possible. Unlike in the second half of the 20th century and the 21st century, the small, rich, and high-welfare state is almost non-existent. The whole world is a jungle of the jungle! That's why the German states, the Italian states, and the five Central American states pursued merger rather than independence. At this time, it cannot be said that there is no national consciousness in Japan, but not everyone has it. Men from samurai families do have a strong sense of nationality, while ordinary merchants and peasants are mostly unaware of the country. Historically, after the Meiji Restoration began, the Japanese government began to strengthen national cohesion through propaganda and education and a series of institutional improvements, turning ordinary civilians who did not know the country into militaristic citizens.
At present, Japan ruled by the Tokugawa family is an out-and-out samurai dictatorship, not even talking about the nominal "equality of the four peoples", and it is the "family character" that decides everything, representing the interests of the high-ranking samurai led by the 300 daimyo families. Even if ordinary civilians are willing to fight for Japan, they have no way to serve the country, but at the same time, they can get the opportunity to serve as an official in the army and get ahead in the Ming Dynasty......
In addition, the economies of Japan and the Ming Dynasty have been fully integrated, and the flow of people is extremely free, and even the language and writing have become very close. In this case, the relationship between Japan and the Ming Dynasty has become two states within a confederation. According to the Orient, Japan is a vassal country of the Ming Dynasty! And Japan's becoming a member of the Ming Dynasty may also be the beginning of the complete integration of the Yamato nation into the Han nationality......
Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi suddenly asked: "If Daming becomes the suzerain of Japan and Xingyi becomes the king of Japan, can I let the Japanese change their surnames and use my Chinese surname?" ”
"Why not?" Tokugawa Akiko smiled, "The Japanese surname is originally similar to the Ming Dynasty, for example, the surname of our Tokugawa family is Yuan, and there is also this surname in China." As for the other martial family surname, the Ping family is ranked 95th in the Chinese "Hundred Family Names". As for the commoners and royals of Japan, there are no surnames at all. The emperor can give them surnames. ”
Zhu Jishi only remembered at this time that "Tokugawa" is not a surname, but a Miao character, which may evolve into a surname in the future, but it is not yet. As for the commoners, who make up 90% of the population of Japan, there are no surnames and Miao characters, and as for the Japanese emperor, there is also no surname.
"So can I get all Japanese people to learn Chinese kanji?"
"Of course!" Akiko nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, aren't Chinese characters and Nanjing official dialect the official language of Japan?" What else could you use? “
"So can I make Japanese history a part of Chinese history?"
Mingzi smiled and said, "That's what it was!" I've looked through the books in the secret collections of the Imperial Palace, my ancestor, Emperor Jimmu (is that her ancestor?). It was Xu Fu sent by Qin Shi Huang to find Penglai Immortal Island. The surname Xu is actually the surname of the Heavenly Emperor. In addition, Japan has been enshrined in China many times in ancient times, and according to the research of Mr. Yukichi Fukuzawa, president of Keio University, Japan has always been a part of Chinese civilization!
