Chapter 243: Meritorious Achievement
After defeating the alliance forces of the Kyushu domains, Liu Guoxuan swept through the territories of the various domains of Kyushu Island, and captured twenty-three rebel daimyos, which shocked the Japanese state, and the Nanyang naval division led by Liu Er also had a good record, and rampaged in Shikoku Island, taking a bloody purge of all the rebellious daimyos.
The two sailors solved the rebellion with three five divisions divided by two, but it caused extremely depressed sequelae, killing so many daimyo along the way, resulting in a large number of samurai losing their family masters, according to the rules of the samurai, any samurai must be loyal to the family master, the family master has the power of life and death of the samurai, but once the family master is killed, then the samurai no longer have the need for effective loyalty, and the enemy who kills the family owner has become a popular candidate for samurai refuge, in any world, relying on power is eternal human nature, not to mention the samurai of Japan, In less than half a month, the two butchers were transformed into the sweethearts of the samurai of the four kingdoms of Kyushu, and thousands of samurai claimed to be the samurai of Liu Er or Liu Guoxuan, and swore to dedicate their lives to the head of the family.
Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan's two general soldiers were not lightly frightened, it is not a good thing for so many people to be loyal to them, this is too blatant, the two of them didn't say a word, and hurriedly submitted a request for guilt, saying the ins and outs of the matter, and asking the emperor to punish him.
Zhu Jun, who was far away in the Ryukyus, received the invitation to the guilty fold and thought that it was a defeat in the battle, but he was first taken aback, the southeast and southeast ocean sailors were his lifeblood, once he lost, it would be a heavy blow to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming vassal system could collapse in an instant at any time, and the maritime trade would not be guaranteed in any way. When Zhu Jun opened the fold with a dark face, he couldn't help but smile, what kind of is this, threw the fold aside with one hand, and continued to study and play chess with Zhongshan Wang Shangzhen.
The quelling of the rebellion of the four kingdoms of Kyushu made the rebellion on the main island of Japan disappear immediately, and the daimyo who were about to move immediately sensed the danger, and the abdication of the emperor was just some daimyo venting their dissatisfaction with the shogunate's favoritism.
Wiped out the internal troubles, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is naturally smiling, this feudal town is really worth it, not only by the hands of the Ming army to remove the emperor's lineage, stabilize the prestige of the shogunate, but also get rid of and intimidate those who are dissatisfied with the shogunate, now he has naturally obtained the king gold seal given by the Ming Kingdom, just waiting to ascend the throne and claim the king, he ordered the daimyo of the whole country to enter Edo to observe the ceremony, and on the other hand respectfully implored the great emperor who was far away in the Ryukyus to come to Edo to visit.
On the fourth day of the seventh month of the new year, Zhu Jun sailed north with Zhongshan Wang Shangzhen and 5,000 guards and arrived on Kyushu Island. Liu Guoxuan, who was stationed in Kyushu, hurriedly greeted Zhu Jun and temporarily took Zhu Jun to the Shimazu family's house in Satsuma City to live.
Zhu Jun just came by the way this time, since the Ming army quelled the rebellion in Kyushu and Shikoku, then naturally there is no reason to return the two islands, and if you want to spit out the meat in your mouth, it will be difficult. Therefore, many aftermath matters need to be handled by Zhu Jun personally, and no trace can be left behind.
Two days later, Liu Er, who rushed to hear the news, also arrived at Satsuma City, and Liu Er immediately came to meet him after he landed on the shore, and told him in detail about the attachment of the samurai of Shikoku Island, asking the emperor to forgive him, how to deal with these people, and the emperor should also speak.
Zhu Jun chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that he did not mean to see the guilt, and after muttering for a while: "According to me, the warriors of Shikoku Island accepted it if they wanted to attach themselves to Liu Aiqing, and Kyushu was the same. ”
Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan glanced at each other, and said busily, there is no precedent for generals to blatantly raise warriors in the Ming Dynasty, even if the emperor trusts them, the officials in the court still don't scold them to death?
Zhu Jun shook his head and asked them to sit down. He continued: "The two generals have made great achievements. It's also a good place to keep some samurai. I actually have another idea. The place names of Kyushu and Shikoku are too arrogant. Projectile island actually dares to nature Kyushu, Shikoku. Not so. Since then, Kyushu has been changed to Shimogu. Shikoku changed to Shimo-Etsu. I'm going to talk to Natokugawa Tsunayoshi. Let him cut out these two islands. Xia Wu will be Liu Guoxuan's domain. Xia Yue will be the domain of Liu Erdi. I want to seal the anonymous two as the dukes of the country. According to the example of Yunnan Mugongfu.
”
Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan looked at each other. The two men were in disbelief. And with joy. One of them came from a humble background. The other has less seniority. The only person in the army who was crowned king was Li Dingguo. As for Zhang Youde, he was sealed in the central part of Annan on a land with a radius of 100 miles. The fertile land of 100 miles has been renamed Suncheon. The Ming Dynasty had already begun to build cities and ports. Zhang Youde is the new Duke of Shunguo. The hereditary lineage of descendants was interrupted in Annam. Deterrence of Annan. Defend the Beibu Gulf and the sea lanes between Qiongzhou and Luzon. Although the land is much less than that of the Mu family in Yunnan. However, Suncheon is on the verge of the Golden Sea Road. The future of wealth can be imagined. Wang Qiu was sealed in northern Luzon. for Song Guogong. As for Li Xiao and Mu Jianming, the two little marquis were knighted because they were hereditary. One is Wang Shizi. One is the son of the prince
It is not sealed. One of them was originally a pirate helmsman. A |t Ben didn't expect to get a fief so soon. I was also secretly ashamed in my heart. Consciously older than those qualifications. The generals with better family backgrounds are much worse. Now the emperor has not forgotten them. It was a surprise for the two.
Zhu Jun's favorite dry place is to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Whether it's Suncheon or Luzon. Or Kyushu and Shikoku. It's all about grabbing the land. The edict was given to his subordinates, and the generals were not distressed at all. What's more, Shikoku and Kyushu are too far from the mainland. It's better to let the two of them manage it in the future. Anyway, the samurai of the two islands vied for allegiance. Let them be retainers. As for Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's side. Zhu Jun was not afraid that he would not cede the two islands. After all, these are all the territories of the foreign daimyo. The original shogunate was already beyond the reach of the whip. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is now embattled. Once the support of the Ming army is lost, I am afraid that the entire island will be in flames. I'm not afraid that he won't give in.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the two princes were not satisfied with these two domains? Zhu Jun asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, satisfied!" The two general soldiers nodded hurriedly, the eldest husband was born and died, what he asked for was not only loyalty, but also the selfishness of tearing the soil and sealing the marquis, and now that he has a domain, it can be regarded as laying a large family business for his children and grandchildren, what is there to dissatisfaction with?
Zhu Jun muttered: "You can try your best to accommodate those warriors who have taken refuge and divide the feudal lands, only in this way can the two Aiqing go to the north and south with me, and they can rest assured!" The samurai of the Wajin were still loyal. ”
…
After stopping in Kyushu for two days, in addition to the necessary division of troops to defend the two islands, the battalion of the North and South Naval Divisions set off with Zhu Jun and arrived on the main island of Japan, where 20,000 Ming troops landed and advanced to Edo with great fanfare.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi hurriedly greeted him with the old and middle-sized ministers, Daming has shown its strong physique, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is dead set on this time, if there were still some coercion and temptation elements in the past, now I can't wait to hold on to Daming's thick legs.
Zhu Jun was welcomed into the shogunate's mansion, and due to the hasty accession to the throne, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi did not have time to repair the palace, so he only decorated the shogunate, and finally had some royal style.
Zhu Jun took a sip of Japanese sake, and at first he felt that the taste was not good, both sweet and a little astringent, but after drinking it a few more times, he got used to it. He sat cross-legged on the couch, while Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was at the bottom, knelt to the side.
Then the wooden door was pushed open, and three women in kimono took off their clogs and came in with broken steps, and sat quietly on their knees.
"Your Majesty, these are some gifts selected by the ministers, please smile at them." Tokugawa Tsunayoshi smiled ambiguously, in order to please the Ming Emperor, he spent a lot of effort.
Zhu Jun swept the faces of the three women, and couldn't help but feel stuffy, if it was at night, he thought he had bumped into a ghost, the woman's face was painted with some powder, and it covered her face thickly, just like the image of a female ghost in a horror movie in later generations, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Go down." ”
The three women didn't understand Chinese, they hung their heads in confusion, and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi hurriedly repeated it in Japanese, and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty doesn't look down on these rough branches and leaves of the country, and the women of the Celestial Empire are better!" ”
After the three dancing girls retreated, Zhu Jun coughed: "The island of Kyushu Shikoku is far away from the Japanese mainland, and it is easy to breed rebellions, so I am determined to station the Ming army there and divide it to Liu Er, General Liu Guoxuan, so that you can rest easy on this island." ”
Tokugawa closed his knees, supported his knees with his hands and nodded: "Yes, the two generals are really divine generals, and the rebellion was put down in half a month, if they are in charge, the subordinates can rest easy." ”
Zhu Jun originally thought that this matter would take a lot of time, but he didn't expect Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to agree so simply, so he couldn't help but laugh, and continued: "I still have one more thing that you need to do. ”
"Your Majesty, please!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi cheered up, Kyushu Shikoku and two islands he really didn't take it to heart, there has always been the territory of the foreign daimyos, and it is also a big trouble for the former shogunate, there are two generals of the Ming Dynasty divided there, and they don't have to worry, this era does not have too many ethnic and family concepts, according to tradition, the four kingdoms of Kyushu were conquered by Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan, so the domain geography of these daimyo should belong to the two.
Zhu Jun played with the small wine bottle and said lightly: "From tomorrow, Japan will recruit samurai ronin, and I will go north to Korea to fight and conquer Korea in a month!" ”
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi cheered up, Japan and Korea had several wars, each time the Celestial Empire was on the side of Korea, and now the Ming Dynasty is fighting against Korea, Japan is still afraid that it will not be able to get a piece of the pie with the Ming Dynasty?
"Your Majesty don't worry, the ministers will do it, how many people does Your Majesty need?"
Zhu Jun squinted, constantly recalling the geography of Korea in his mind: "Fifty thousand people, I want to completely conquer Korea!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in *m, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
