The carrier pigeon carrying the message kept flying in the sky, and the messenger rode a fast horse on the post road. +◆Top+◆Point+◆Small+◆ said that the Ming army's martial arts in Satsuma spread throughout the Dongying Islands within a few days.

Nani! A powerful feudal clan like Satsuma was defeated without a fight?

Hasn't the Ming Dynasty been destroyed by the Qing Dynasty? The force is so strong!

All the sons and daughters of China unite in the world! Da Ming, does this want to be the overlord of the alliance?!

The various forces in Japan were shocked, and all eyes were focused on the Ming Dynasty, which appeared strongly.

The Edo Shogunate and the Kyoto Imperial Palace, as well as the powerful feudal clans of Nagasu, Fukui, Kumamoto, Tozo, and Hizen, were keenly considering the question, who would unify Japan and make it a strong whole?

Daming is so strong, and he also needs to come to Japan to find help, which makes them happy, but also feel pressure. "The Coming of the Iron Curtain", "The Declaration of Chinese Rejuvenation" and other books expounded on the "Chinese orthodoxy" and "Yixia cultural theory" expounded on them are even more inspired, after all, Lanxue is not as good as Chinese studies and Sinology!

Lu Yao's propaganda clearly accused the Tokugawa shogunate of its lack of control and integration.

The shogunate also knew that its authority was getting worse day by day. In Japan, the prevalent practice was Shimokajo, and the local feudal lords would always challenge the shogunate. There are also hundreds of thousands of frustrated samurai, so poor that they only have a sword and a life, and they wander the various domains every day, looking for various livelihoods. As long as the shogunate misses the slightest mistake, and many external forces disturb it, these flames will become a prairie fire.

Therefore, the shogunate attached great importance to this, and Abe Masahiro specially sent Uraga Shoshi Toda Shiei and Zhu Qingping as messengers to invite the Ming Navy to visit Edo.

The chief elder of the shogunate, Masahiro Abe, was a good friend of Shimazu Saibin, and he was also a strong assistant to Saibin who was able to sit in the position of feudal lord. What the Ming army did in Samosa, Qi Bin reported to Masahiro Abe at the first time.

Like Qi Bin, Masahiro Abe agrees with "enriching the country and strengthening the army, and promoting industry." He was keenly aware that the Ming Dynasty was a sharp sword, and the shogunate must use it as a strong aid, and must not give those powerful vassals with plans to take advantage of it.

On January 3, 2696 (1855 AD), the Ming naval formation finally arrived at the Puga waterway and fired a salute from the fort in Haikou to salute the Ming navy.

Uraga is the choke point of Edo Bay, and its strategic position is very important. After the bombardment of Edo, Uraga Governor Toda Clan Ei promptly established a relationship with Daming and avoided the doom of becoming a scapegoat.

With the acquiescence of the shogunate, Toda recruited a large number of wandering samurai, bankrupt paupers, and able-bodied women, and transported them to Yonaguni Island and Taiwan. The large flow of people brought business opportunities, a large number of merchants came with their sense of smell, and more goods were transferred through here, and Uraga gradually prospered.

The Daming naval formation did not slow down and continued to move in the direction of Edo.

Two hours later, the fleet slowly sailed into Edo Port. The four Ming ships spit out billowing black smoke and dropped anchor in the harbor.

Edo Castle was a place where people from all kinds of feudal clans gathered. The Tokugawa shogunate implemented a system of attendance and accountability, and it was mandatory for the daimyo of the feudal lords in each region to stay in Ejo at regular intervals. Each feudal clan spent a lot of money in Edo Castle to build a feudal mansion, which was not only a residence for the daimyos, but also served as a residence for the feudal lords of each domain, so that the shogunate could have a good control over the feudal lords and daimyos.

Seeing the black ship of the Ming Dynasty sailing, the people on the shore were not as frightened as before, the ordinary people showed a kind of indifference, and the retainers of the various feudal clans and many samurai showed a kind of excitement and nervousness.

"Is this the black ship of the Ming Kingdom?! It's really the largest country in the west, and it turns out to be really strong! No wonder you don't take Xiyi seriously! ”

"That's not right! The largest country in the west is still the Qing State, and the Ming army has just raised its troops and has not yet recovered the country! ”

"Shw! There are black ships in the Ming country, and we should have them in Japan! ”

"If we want to avoid the defeat of the Qing Kingdom, we should take the Ming Kingdom as our teacher!"

"Bang~咣~" The gong sounded, and Masahiro Abe and the first shogunate of Lin University rushed to the dock to welcome the Ming army.

Wang Tiezhu, Lu Yao, Ping Chongsheng and others changed to small boats and boarded the dock under the escort of more than 100 heavily armed guards. Accompanied by Masahiro Abe and Hayashi Kokuto, we entered Edo Castle.

At the welcome banquet, the hall was filled with important officials of the shogunate, such as the daimyo of the clan and the daimyo of the pedigree, and the shogun Tokugawa Iejo, who had always lived in seclusion, also sat on the throne. Everyone sat around the table, tasting sumptuous wine and delicacies, and at the same time saying some festive words to express the friendship between China and Japan.

At this moment, a dull thunder came from the northeast.

"Oh, what a rare spring thunder!" Masahiro Abe listened intently, and he glanced at Lin University.

The head of Hayashi University sat opposite Masahiro Abe, and he couldn't help but listen: "The thunder is far away, maybe in the Kyoto area." Maybe God wants to clear the land. ”

"That's a good sign!" There was an excited look on the face of the shogunate, "This should represent a new beginning!" ”

Japanese politicians have always liked to use obscure "belly art" rhetoric to express their hearts. Wang Tiezhu and the others couldn't understand these words in the clouds, and they didn't react at all.

Lao Zhong Digtian Masamu is more upright, and after a few glasses of sake, he couldn't help but stare at Wang Tiehammer in the guest of honor position, "Your Excellency the Grand Governor, the shogunate has always abided by the covenant made by you and me, but I don't know if Daming is now a friend of the shogunate, or an enemy of the shogunate?" ”

The audience suddenly fell silent, and people's eyes focused on Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiehammer said sonorously, "The Ming Dynasty pays attention to faithfulness, and we will definitely abide by the covenant we have made." But the Chinese Book of Changes says, 'Heaven is strong, and the gentleman is self-improving.' There is also an old saying in Xiyi, 'God helps those who help themselves'. ”

He glanced at the audience, "Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." The Ming Dynasty takes the revival of China as its own responsibility, and we will never stop running forward, hoping that the shogunate is a friend who will move forward with us. ”

"Shuffle!"

The Tokugawa family must have understood that if the shogunate did not work hard, it would naturally be ruthlessly abandoned by the Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, the messenger had just delivered books such as "The Fall of the Iron Curtain" and "The Declaration of the Revival of China" to Edo Castle, and Tokugawa Ieding had read them carefully and felt a lot.

Jia Ding suffered from traumatic cerebral palsy, and his constitution was very weak when he succeeded him, and he was said to be no different from a "waste man" by the Downfall faction. In fact, his thinking is quite normal, but he is a lot more childish.

Tokugawa Iecho's head shook back a few times, and his palm slapped twice on the tatami mat. Jia must have cerebral palsy, and these are movements that he can't control before he speaks.

"Your Excellency, the Declaration of the Revival of China says, 'All the sons and daughters of China under heaven unite!' Is Da Ming going to become the co-owner of Yadong? ”

"Huaxia was, is, and will be the master of Yadong."

Wang Tiezhu had been engaged in writing work in the army for a long time before, and he didn't think twice at all when answering these words, "Xiyi is the biggest threat to our Chinese tribes, and the Chinese tribes in Yadong must unite." ”

Watching the Tokugawa family dance like a child, Wang Tiehammer said that this poor guy looks innocent and full of childlike fun, but he can't live for a few years.

According to historical facts, the Tokugawa family will die three years later.

"The Ming Dynasty wants to unify the Chinese clans?" Set's eyes became round.

Wang Tiezhu said calmly, "We are the Ming Dynasty, not Qiang Qin, nor Xiyi." ”

"Nani?" The Tokugawa family must have been like a child, chasing after him for an explanation.

"General!"

Lu Yao sat next to Wang Tiehammer, and he picked up the conversation, "Many people in Japan study orchid studies. Although the British card, France, and the United States are Yi people, they also learn from things and explore the mysteries of all things in the world. However, the Xiyi people lack the pursuit of humanistic spirit, and they are afraid of power but not virtue. For example, the Netherlands, relying on force, navigated the world, occupied a large number of colonies, but just like the Qin Dynasty, they did not show benevolence and righteousness, and blindly conquered, and the result was that they were defeated by the British and France, and the entire colonial system soon collapsed. ”

Lu Yao cited arguments to belittle the Xiyi people, and the Tokugawa family must have nodded again and again. Tokugawa Iesei had also read Darwin's theory of evolution and had a rough understanding of the situation in Europe and the United States.

Lu Yao pulled the index, "Like Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, British cards, etc., these Xiyi countries take turns to appear, claiming that the sun never sets, but in fact, they are all paper tigers." Just like the Napoleonic Emperor of France, his rise was also vigorous, and his death was also sudden. ”

"It is said that the Western countries of Yingjia, France, and Michijian belong to barbarians, because they pay attention to 'each earning his own life, the weak eat the strong', and pay attention to 'natural selection, survival of the fittest', which is no different from animals. And our Yadong Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu, Japan, Dynasty ~ Xian ......, pay attention to the outline, norms, grammar, so it is said that it is the country of Zhuxia. ”

"Xiyi is like a country of beasts, this statement is very interesting." The Tokugawa family was very happy and grimaced happily.

Wang Tiezhu raised his glass, "As long as our Yadong countries work together to use the art of Xiyi, the gift of Ming Huaxia, the British card, France, and Mi Jiajian, these so-called Western Yi powers will definitely be defeated!" ”

"Definitely, Japan is willing to work together with the Ming Dynasty." Tokugawa Iejo also raised his glass happily.

After the banquet, the daimyo of the clan and the daimyo of the shogunate sat in front of the hall, and Masahiro Abe accompanied Tokugawa Iesadari and Wang Tieshu to sit on the platform one step higher, and the Ming army screening team screened the movie "Sekigahara Battle" in the open space under the hall.

The Battle of Sekigahara was a battle fought on September 15, 1600, between the Eastern Army under Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Western Army under Ishida Mitsunari and others. Eventually, the war was decided in a single day after the rebellion of the Western Army general Kobayakawa Hideaki, and Tokugawa Ieyasu took control and established the Tokugawa shogunate three years later.

Seeing the screen, Tokugawa Ieyasu's horizontal sword immediately stood in front of people's eyes, and for a moment, these shogunate nobles were all dizzy!

A few days ago, the messenger came to report, saying that the Ming Dynasty's movie drama was very exciting, as if it was immersive, and the people of the shogunate were still a little skeptical about it, but they didn't expect that the real movie was a hundred times stronger than the legendary appearance.
