Chapter 277: Tearing the Tiger's Skin to Make a Flag

As early as the first time the space battlefield mission began, Zhao Gao drove a small treasure ship away from the Ming fleet, and the reason why it was not targeted by the Amaterasu space to send participants was because Zhao Gao's fleet gained a new identity - the Ming envoy group.

Zhao Gao's authority from Emperor Jiajing is the "camera decision" of coastal affairs, although the rank is not high, but the authority is very great, especially in the past two years, more than half of all the gains from the robbery have gone into the emperor's private treasury, plus the huge foreign trade profits have exceeded three million taels, this amount is huge, and has become the most important source of the emperor's wallet.

In order to maintain this income and even improve it, the role played by the Ming fleet over the years has not been glorious. The left-handed maritime merchant and the right-hand pirate, on the one hand, wiped out all the pirates on the sea and opened up all the waterways along the coast, on the other hand, he incarnated as the largest maritime hegemon and threw all the unsatisfied forces into the sea, and the monopoly profits can be called terrifying.

This is the transportation of goods, and it is clear that the goods are transported in vain!

Zhao Gao's hand is equivalent to smashing people's jobs, and the forces behind the backlash have not stopped for a moment from the beginning, and the impeachment of Zhao Gao has also been presented one after another. However, as long as Zhao Gao always wants to fill the emperor's private pocket, then these impeachments will not have practical effect at the moment, and when Zhao Gao will not make money, the emperor will definitely throw him out without hesitation to calm the anger of the people, which is the ultimate fate of most people who do private work for the emperor.

Of course, Zhao Gao will not be satisfied with such a fate, in the eyes of the emperor he is just a useful chess piece, in his eyes, how can the emperor not be a wall to block the wind?

The Ming fleet is impossible to produce out of thin air, whether it is supply or the sale of goods, it needs to have the support of the emperor, and more importantly, with the official name, he is subordinate to the official army of the Ming Dynasty, not a rogue at sea, and can take advantage of it when necessary.

Since it is an official army, the authority of "camera decision" is overbearing when used on the "Son of Heaven Wearing Ribbon". This kind of crime of killing the head clan is not a joke, as soon as Zhao Gao uses it, it means that there is no turning back, but now in the vast sea, this kind of rebellious thing will not be able to reach the court for a while.

Zhao Gao unceremoniously gave himself the identity of an "envoy of the Son of Heaven", led the veterans brought out from the more than 1,000 Daming Dengzhou Guard Command Divisions at the core of the Ming fleet, and drove directly into the Sea of Japan in an upright and upright manner, landed in the Kyoto area, and handed over the credentials in the most formal way, asking to meet the emperor.

In this way, the Ark Space has also obtained no less authority than Amaterasu Space, and under the balance of the two sides, they can only let the situation develop, and both sides have temporarily lost their ability to control the situation under the balance of authority.

Such a large envoy group still has an army, no matter from which point of view it is ill-intentioned, but it is a pity that the current situation in Kyoto is chaotic and complicated, and no one knows how to deal with the prepared Ming envoys.

Even in Kyoto, I don't know who to go to receive them!

Theoretically, Emperor Go-Nara is the nominal supreme ruler of Japan now, but now the emperor can't even scrape together enough money for the enthronement ceremony, let alone receive a delegation of thousands of envoys, and as a puppet, he didn't dare to make such a big move, so he handed over this hot potato to the shogun of the Muromachi shogunate with a single edict.

But the shoguns in the shogunate were now driven out of town.

At present, the Muromachi shogunate is the twelfth shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu, who is supported by the governor Hosokawa Takakuni. However, two years ago, Hosokawa Takakuni was defeated by the opposing Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Motocho, and Ashikaga Yoshiharu fled to Omi Province with Hosokawa Takakuni, Takeda Motomitsu and others

Hosokawa Harumoto supported Yoshiharu's younger brother, Yoshimu, and invaded Kyoto after formally defeating Hosokawa Takakuni at the Battle of Katsuragawahara in 1527.

After the war, Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Motocho competed for power. In 1532, Hosokawa Harumoto united with Honganji Ichijo against Miyoshi Motocho. Ashikaga Yoshiharu took the opportunity to move to Kusumiti Temple in Omi Province in an attempt to return to Kyoto. Haruhoto deposed Ashikaga Yoshino with the cooperation of Honganji, and Miyoshi Motocho was killed.

Therefore, neither Hosokawa Harumoto nor the generals supported by Hosokawa Takakuni were among the shogunate, and when Zhao Gao arrived in Kyoto, it was impossible for anyone in the shogunate to stand up and take charge.

As for Hosokawa Harumoto, who is actually in power, because his position is too low, if he officially receives the official envoys of the Ming Dynasty, then it can be regarded as a diplomatic insult. With the current chaotic war situation in Japan, no one dares to take this risk.

The Ming Dynasty's conquest may not need to be for practical benefits, but it will definitely be for the so-called face, and when the time comes, a large army will come over, and with Japan's current national strength, it will be greatly damaged if the country is not destroyed.

Moreover, the latest news came that the Ming Dynasty had reactivated the treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and once the war officially started, it would be a disaster.

So no matter what, Hosokawa Harumoto won't let this kind of thing happen in 1 in 10,000.

How did he know that the more than 1,000 people brought by Zhao Gao were purely decorations, and the moment he entered Kyoto, he knew that this kind of battle to destroy the country was impossible. All the soldiers under his command have been affected by the national fortunes of Japan in the past dynasties, not only have their attributes been reduced, but their health is constantly decreasing.

Later, he had to let Zhao Fujin intermittently turn on the skills he learned from Concubine Zhang Xun to maintain the blood volume and morale of the army.

The so-called hemp rod to fight the wolf is afraid of both ends, this time is the momentum, Zhao Gao did not plan to use the battle to solve the problem from the beginning, since the Ming is strong, Zhao Gao can borrow things is naturally strong.

The letter of state brought by Zhao Gao gave the emperor the title of "Lord of Japan" and enjoyed the treatment of "imperial brother", that is, every emperor regarded the great son as a brother. In addition to this clause, the most important thing left is to enshrine Wang Yangming's "Xinxue" as Japan's national culture, and there is nothing else.

The conditions are unusually relaxed, and from any point of view, it is a good thing for the current Japanese imperial family, and Emperor Go-Nara naturally can't ask for it. As for "Xinxue", Hosokawa Harumoto also specially looked for someone to see it, it is indeed one of the essences of Han culture, and it is usually Japanese students who have crossed the ocean to have access to it, but now they are sent to the door, but they are a little flattered.

Zhao Gao was also helpless, the moment the edict was released, his legend was reduced by two points at once, and this level of punishment was already a warning from him for breaking the rules.

However, he has no way, the space mission is arranged to destroy Japan, not to mention the participation of pioneers, even if there is no obstacle, with his current strength, it is simply impossible. Not to mention anything else, all kinds of historical figures will fight back desperately in the face of life and death, and in the face of this group of famous generals of the Warring States who are only above him in force and scheming, he will never have a chance of winning.

Since it is not good, then it is not okay to pull the tiger skin to make a banner for Huairou, and no one said that it is not okay.
