The saying that the Japanese was originally a vassal of the Central Dynasty originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty when the Japanese slave country paid tribute, and Emperor Guangwu awarded the "Han Japanese slave king" the golden seal. However, at that time, there was no unified country in Japan, and the Japanese slave state was only one of the hundreds of tribes in Japan at that time, so this statement only had symbolic meaning, and there was no political and legal system.

But this statement is indeed not without evidence, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Muromachi shogunate, but he was genuinely canonized by the Ming Dynasty's "King of the Nihon Ben", and he was not the only one, and then Ashikaga Yoshinori and Ashikaga Yoshiyoshi were also canonized by this. This is not the same as the fact that Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was deceived by Wenchen and named Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the "King of Japan", and these generals all took the initiative to ask for the title. 【1】

And the name of this "king of Japan" came from the conflict between Japan and Japan in early tomorrow and early tomorrow. At that time, Japan was originally the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Emperor Go-Daigo appointed Prince Kaira as the general of the expedition to the west to conquer the Muromachi shogunate, and Prince Huailiang took Kyushu as a base, so he had contacts with the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but the Japanese Kou had already appeared, and the middle of the Ming Dynasty was different from those who were actually pirates of the Chinese Dynasty, and the early Ming Dynasty was really the Japanese Kou. Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to Kyushu to deliver a letter of accountability to the "Lianghuai of the King of Japan". Prince Huailiang didn't know if he was too arrogant, or if he regarded the Ming envoy as the first envoy, so he detained the chief envoy and killed five envoys.

Then the Ming Dynasty sent a higher class envoy, at this time Prince Huailiang softened, made amends and sent back the population plundered by the Japanese Invaders, and sent the Ming envoy to call himself the following country, and also used the name of the Great Year, which looked like a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Prince Huailiang lowered his posture, the Japanese were still rampant, Zhu Yuanzhang threatened to attack Japan, and Prince Huailiang was also tough. In view of the failure of the Mongol conquest of the Japanese army, Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed this breath and listed the Japanese conquest as a country that did not conquer the Japanese army. 【2】

Judging from this grievance, China and Japan not only do not understand each other (for example, Prince Huailiang is called "the king of Japan, Lianghuai. After the death of Prince Huailiang, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty still carried this name), and the tributary relationship was also different from that of Ryukyu, Annam, and Korea, and the Japanese himself had no recognition of claiming to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after the Muromachi shogunate took power, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu carried out the "plan for the sky." Replaced the emperor, proclaimed himself a vassal to Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the title of "King of the Sun" of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, in terms of political reality, Ri Yanben really served as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this reality did not rise to the level of law after all, and the reason is very simple: after all, in Japan, the emperor is the supreme ruler de jure and has a divine personality, and it is impossible to claim to other countries. The shogun was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, which did not affect the "national character" of the Japanese Dynasty.

After all, the shogun is the actual person in power, so Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the last two generals were canonized by the Ming Dynasty, so the upper echelons of the Japanese were quite entangled, so they simply kept their mouths shut.

The Tokugawa shogunate was reopened, whether it was a shogun or a heavy minister, the history of the Ashikaga shogunate was no stranger, Chen Xinghua opened his mouth to reveal the scars, and Tokugawa Yoshimune and a heavy minister suddenly felt painful.

"How did Ri Jian himself answer? To be honest, I'm really sweating outside the palace, what if I don't get angry and cut the governor? ”

Back at the Lili Hotel, Luo Wugui asked Chen Xinghua curiously.

"It's good to cut me down, and the two countries will increase their blood debts again, so that those who shout for peace between China and Japan in the country will shut up. As for the reaction of Ri Yan himself...... It's nothing more than perfunctory pushing. ”

Chen Xinghua said lightly, in the palace hall before, Tokugawa Yoshimune's face turned pale in an instant, and those important ministers of the shogunate were also stuffed with a mouthful of feces, and they didn't wake up for a long time, which allowed him to calmly say the following words. …,

The British demanded that the Tokugawa shogunate return the historical "Uno Gold Seal." and the Ashikaga shogunate's "Seal of the King of the Shogunate." The Tokugawa shogunate was re-awarded the "Seal of the King of the Honhon" by Great Britain. After that, if the Tokugawa shogunate wanted to pass on the throne, it also needed to be recognized and conferred by the British, and it completely regarded the Japanese and Annam vassal states as equal.

Not only that, Chen Xinghua also conveyed the edict of the Emperor of the Great British Holy Dao, that if there is something in Nanyang, all the vassals must contribute, and they will also have to contribute people and money to fulfill the obligations of the vassals. In the end, Chen Xinghua finally mentioned Ryukyu, saying that Ryukyu was a British vassal and that it was absolutely forbidden to attack between the vassals, and that the Japanese must return the previous Ryukyu Secret Treaty as soon as possible and send an envoy to the Celestial Empire to make amends.

For a moment, Chen Xinghua felt that Tokugawa Yoshimune would jump up and personally draw a knife to cut himself.

But Tokugawa Yoshimune calmed down and only said these things...... Research is needed.

When Chen Xinghua turned around and left, he heard a huge sound erupting from the main hall, which must have been scolding him, but he didn't care, what he wanted was this result, so he didn't even care about his own life.

This task was snatched from Feng Jingyao, and the experience of being in charge of the company in the past few years was as plain as water, and he hoped to be in the midst of a magnificent history, and the day was lost...... He had a grudge against the Japanese people, and his grandfather died at the hands of the Japanese ronin in Hoi An.

The emperor's attitude towards Japan was a little wavering, and there seemed to be something else besides hostility, which also affected the court's decision-making towards Japan. Chen Xinghua felt that it was worth it to be able to use his own life to let the emperor and even a country be included in the list of national enemies.

Although Luo Wugui knew that this trip was to anger the shogunate, and he also hoped that the goal would be achieved, when he heard Chen Xinghua's words, he also felt a chill in his neck, a civil official is a civilian official, and a mouth is more lethal than a fleet.

The two were discussing how quickly the shogunate would react, and one person came in a hurry, it was Tamarira of the Satsuma Domain, who looked sad and gritted his teeth and said: "You are not a countryman, your conscience is greatly broken!" ”

Yuli Liang came here not only to scold, hearing him get down to business, Chen Xinghua and Luo Wugui took a breath, the shogunate didn't react, and the Satsuma clan reacted first?

At the door of the ceremonial hotel, a person was kneeling and sitting, his hair was scattered, his clothes were pulled out, he was holding a rib in his hand, and he was reading words in his mouth, and there was a samurai standing behind him, holding a katana diagonally.

"The Satsuma Domain has never conspired with the people of the Chinese Empire, and there is no treason! I, Shimazu Mori, often seppuku here, proved the innocence of the Satsuma Domain, and apologized for offending the general for the envoys of the Chinese Empire! ”

The one who wants to cut his stomach is actually the old Shimazu Shengchang of the Satsuma Domain, such a determination makes Chen Xinghua, who thought he was already very open-minded, also have a heartbeat, he is not afraid of death, this person is afraid of life......

After a few words with him, the shogunate decided to seppuku here, which was really neat. It seems that it is not only an ordinary samurai, from top to bottom, Hichino himself does not take his life seriously. ”

Fan Sihai was already watching at the door, and said with emotion to Chen Xinghua and Luo Wugui who came over.

The Yinghua mission watched quietly, Chen Xinghua didn't say anything to stop him, for Ri Jian himself, seppuku is a very serious matter, just like a Chinese scholar who died and was martyred, whoever stopped him was a sinner.

When Shimazu Moritsune's head was cut off by the wrong katana and rolled on the ground with blood, Fan Sihai stared at Yuriliang, whose face was flushed and seemed to be unable to breathe, and whispered to Luo Wugui: "Pay attention to the vigilance, beware of the people of the Satsuma Clan who cut off our heads in order to shirk responsibility." ”

On June 6, the 11th year of the Hitoshi Dynasty, a series of events occurred, which are collectively known as the "Eisa-Rebellion", the Satsuma Domain colluded with the British, oppressed the shogunate, and damaged the Japanese national body. And no matter how many heads there are and how much blood there is, they can't clear up such suspicions. …,

"The blood of the old family cannot be shed in vain!"

"We Satsuma Clan can't be sinners for a long time!"

"It's not enough to rely on the blood of the old family! Only by killing all the missions of the Satsuma Kingdom can the shogunate believe that our Satsuma Domain has never betrayed its dignity and has never led wolves into the house! ”

"Go to the Yuli Hall and ask him to give the order!"

Shimazu Moritsu seppuku greatly stabbed the grassroots samurai of the Sajanma Domain, and they felt that they had to take action.

Yuri Liang was very conflicted: "I want to do this too, but you haven't thought about the future of the Satsuma Domain?" No, you can't do that! You ......"

He feebly objected, and he did not struggle as the warriors rushed up to tie him up.

At night on the 6th, as Fan Sihai expected, the samurai of the Satsuma Domain, who had been guarding the mission, suddenly attacked the Liyue. Luo Wugui was originally very nervous, he only had a dozen or so guards under him, although he was the most elite warrior in the Fubo army, he could fight against twenty or thirty Japanese warriors, fighting in a narrow building, and he was obviously at a disadvantage.

The gunfire continued, mixed with the clash of swords, and the samurai of the Satsuma Domain paid more than a dozen lives to crush the mission into a room, and while they were about to burn the house, Tamarira arrived with the shogunate army.

The shogunate army quelled the rebellion of the grassroots samurai of the Satsuma Domain, but they did not ask Yuri Liang for the guilt, and even Luo Wugui could understand the trickiness in this.

The shogunate did not want to be charged with killing and harming the envoys of the country, so they wanted to stop the Satsuma domain, but at the same time, they had to intimidate the mission of the country and force them to abandon their previous demands and talk to the shogunate only about the Ryukyu affair, or ...... Don't talk about anything, it's best to go home. Based on the historical experience of dealing with the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the understanding, the Chinese state will not move troops, so it will send envoys to come, and its attitude will be much softer than now.

Fan Sihai sneered: "Maybe the shogunate suppressed the Satsuma Domain and let the Satsuma Domain do it himself." ”

Chen Xinghua patted the case and said: "Satsuma still thinks that he can jump out of this big pit? Dream! ”

In the face of the mission's accountability, Yuli Liang was speechless.

In the early morning of the next day, at the door of the courtesy hotel, Shimazu's blood stains had not dried, and Tamari sat at the door on his knees again, and he also had to cut his stomach, only this time, to apologize to the mission.

Yu Liliang's head was gurgling on the ground, and Luo Wugui suddenly sighed: "I'm suddenly a little afraid of Ri Yan himself......"

Fan Sihai also nodded: "In addition to the leading figures in the shogunate who are in charge of practice, the following Ri Jian himself, once he has an idea, he doesn't want any shame or shame, he risks his life to do it, and once he fails, he simply admits defeat and apologizes, this is ...... What a villain! ”

Chen Xinghua looked at the man who was wrong, and the steel knife broke his neck, which seemed to have damaged the blade, and the warrior was stroking the knife with a look of regret. Chen Xinghua said leisurely: "On this day, my own mind is like a blade, as the saying goes, it is easy to break ...... too rigid."

Zhenfu Xinping cried bitterly: "What should I do, what should I do?" The shogunate will never accept such conditions, and Envoy Chen, you have not only put our Zhenfu family in a dilemma, but also made the hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in Japan bewildered. ”

Chen Xinghua said expressionlessly: "When you think about who you are, you will naturally know what to do at that time." ”

Chen Xinghua brushed his sleeves away, Fan Sihai was a little unbearable, pulled up Zhenfu Xinping and said: "Even if you want the two countries to be harmonious and close to each other, you must cross too many thresholds." Just like our Yinghua, don't look at it as a country now, everyone used to have countless grudges. My Fan family used to be the enemy of Yinghua, and my son was exiled and sentenced to two years. ”…,

Luo Wugui also said on the side: "That's right, let's just say that my boss Bai Yanding, he and the Fubo Army were both in charge of Zheng Yong and were enemies of life and death, and they both owed a lot of lives, but in the end, didn't everyone still walk together?" ”

Zhenfu Xinping said with tears in his eyes: "How much does it cost and how long will the suffering last?" ”

Fan Sihai spread his hands: "Then it depends on whether the shogunate can see the reality clearly and is willing to go with us Yinghua to seek happiness." ”

Shinfu Nobuhei relieved his knot a little, and began to think about passing through his own family and the Chinese people living in Japan, and transmitting the call of friendship and good-neighborliness between the two countries to the shogunate.

Looking at his back, Luo Wugui muttered, "Is he still serious?" ”

Tokugawa Yoshimune woke up, and after a few more days, seeing that the attitude of the mission had not changed, he finally sent a strong signal and announced the expulsion of the Chujin mission. The dignity of the shogunate was inviolable, otherwise he would not have been able to maintain the authority of the shogunate in front of more than 270 feudal lords.

"We will be back, and in two months, we will return to Edo Bay, and by that time, I believe that His Excellency the General will change his mind."

Chen Xinghua dropped such a cruel sentence and took the mission on the ship, which was by no means a scene...... ）
