Matsuzen Juguang just succeeded to the throne last year, and this year this kind of thing is on the rise, and his own territory has inexplicably become Chinese territory.

In this regard, he looked confused.

The retainers of the Matsumae Domain, on the other hand, felt ...... Be tickled pink!

Hokkaido, a place where birds don't poop, has always been a Japanese penal colony. For example, the head of Hanayama Temple, who was exiled due to the Pig and Bear Incident, was taken in by the Matsumae Domain, and is still a retainer in the Matsumae Domain.

To put it bluntly, Hokkaido is a "den of anti-thieves"!

The Matsumae Domain can't help it, Hokkaido is too poor and too remote, and if they don't take in those political prisoners, they won't even be able to recruit a few literate samurai. There is no problem of the flood of ronins here, because they are so poor that even the ronins do not want to come.

Hiring political prisoners in bulk naturally comes at a cost.

The Matsumae clan has never been accepted by the orthodox daimyo, and only by paying bribes has he obtained the treatment of the flag. Although they have built the city, they do not have the qualifications to build the city, and they still call it "Matsumae Pavilion" to the outside world, and they dare not say that there is a "Fukuyama Castle" here.

The daimyo was supposed to live in Edo with his family, but the daimyo of the Matsumae Domain did not even have the qualifications to move to Edo.

"Sir, proficient in Sinology, please change a Han name for me." Matsumae Juhiro found the head of Hanayama Temple.

Huashan Yuan Zhongchang thought carefully, picked up the pen and began to write: "The pronunciation of Song in the Tang Kingdom is Song, and the family governor will be surnamed Song in the future." According to the pronunciation of Tang Guo, Juguang can be changed to Juguang. ”

"Song Juguang, good name." Matsumae is very satisfied.

For him, it doesn't matter if he changes his name or surname.

A few decades ago, his family was still surnamed "Oystersaki". After being recognized by Tokugawa Ieyasu, in order to appear that he was awesome, he changed his surname to "Matsumae", and took one character from each of the Matsudaira and Maeda clans.

Next, we all called him Song Juguang, and Song Juguang was curious: "What kind of Chinese name did Mr. change for himself?" ”

Huashan Yuan Zhong Chang smiled: "Hua Zhong Chang." ”

"Good name." Matsumae moment wide immediately praised.

Huashan Yuan Zhongchang is over 70 years old this year, don't look at his kind eyes, he had a lot of fun when he was young.

At that time, there was a noble son in Kyoto named Pig Bear Jiaoli, who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also had a hairstyle to kill Matt, and became the dream lover of all women. A girl from a wealthy family in Kyoto was taught by a pig and bear to sleep all over.

This is nothing, Pig and Bear Jiaoli also pulled the rich children of Kyoto to play multiplayer games together. also slept with the emperor's first favorite concubine, and when the emperor knew about it, he didn't dare to attack immediately.

And the head of Huashan Academy, not only messed with the pig and bear teaching, but also slept with the emperor's female officials, and took the female officials to have a group party together.

In the end, the trouble was too big, and there were too many daimyo and wealthy businessmen involved, and Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the whole country to be wanted, and finally arrested and beheaded Pig Bear Kyori. Hanayamain Tadacho's father had energy, so instead of dying, he was exiled to Hokkaido and became a retainer of the Matsumae Domain.

This kind of swinger brother is regarded as a cultural person by the Matsumae Domain, which shows how backward Hokkaido's culture and education are.

Song Juguang convened a meeting of his retainers, and the first thing he did was to ask for everyone's new names.

A middle-aged retainer stepped forward: "Pavilion Master, my new name is Chang Yizhen." ”

"My new name is Jing Zhongzheng."

"My new name is ......"

After listening to his self-introduction, Song Juguang nodded and smiled: "Don't call me the owner and the governor in the future, I am the Ezo Zhi County of Datong China, and you should call me Song Zhi County." ”

These guys, the reason why they are happy, is because everything on the island is left as it is, except for the name and clothing, and the Nanjing court does not deprive them of their power.

Unlike Tsushima, which is barren but at least not as cold and not so far from mainland China. Therefore, Tsushima Island can be immigrated quickly, and the power deprivation of the island's daimyo and retainers is more urgent.

And what about Ezo Island?

The Japanese ronin are reluctant to come, and if China wants to develop the islands, I am afraid it will take dozens or hundreds of years.

Then temporarily restrain the rule, first send officials who are willing to go to sea, and establish courts and schools on Ezo Island. Justice must be caught in the hands of the imperial court, and culture and education must not be left behind, and gradually the Japanese and natives are gradually taught to speak Chinese.

A medium-sized *** ship, still moored in the harbor, Hoopoe's deputy Kong Cheng

Ryo is thrown to deal with Ezo affairs.

After Song Juguang communicated with his retainers, he began to give Kong Chengliang a grand banquet.

The fragrant white rice is even grand. Rice is not produced on the island at this time, and it is all brought in by sea, so white rice is particularly valuable.

The dishes are all kinds of seafood, which the people in the inland may find rare, but the people on the island have long eaten and vomited.

Although Hua Zhongchang is "proficient" in Sinology, he does not speak Chinese at all, but fortunately Kong Chengliang can speak Japanese. So at the banquet, a group of "Chinese" officials could only communicate in Japanese.

Song Juguang said: "Angel Rong Bing, there is a shortage of goods on this island. Now that it is the land of the Celestial Empire, can the merchants bring cotton cloth, rice, and salt? ”

Kong Chengliang said: "The imperial court has never done any merchant trade, and Ezo Island must have enough goods to attract those merchants to come." Didn't the fleet of the Four Seas Trading Company pass through Ezo Island on its way to the Americas? ”

Song Juguang immediately complained: "The trading place of the Four Seas Trading Company, the box hall set up by the Andong clan (Akita clan). Most of the cargo is transported to the Dewa area, and very few are left on Ezo Island. ”

"Are there other daimyo on the island who set up Hakokan?" Kong Chengliang was surprised.

Song Juguang explained, "My family was originally a samurai of the Andong clan, and although they obtained the status of island lord from the shogunate, they have always been held hostage by the Andong clan. The specialties of Ezo Island can only be traded at Anton's box house, and the furs and fish are sold to Anton's at low prices, and rice, cotton cloth, and salt are purchased from Anton's at high prices. ”

Kong Chengliang said: "The box house of the Andong clan must be returned to the imperial court, and you can trade directly with the merchants in the future." ”

"That's great!" Song Juguang and his retainers were overjoyed.

Kong Chengliang asked, "What are the specialties on the island?" ”

Song Juguang replied: "Fur, wood and fish." ”

"What kinds of fur?" Kong Chengliang asked.

Song Juguang said: "Mainly deer and foxes. There are pink foxes here, and fox skins are selling well. ”

Kong Chengliang said with a smile: "It's enough, deer skin and fox skin are very popular in China." ”

Song Juguang still has one more thing to say, there are gold mines in Hokkaido. In the early days of the development of the Matsumae Domain, it relied on Shajin to solve its financial problems, and it was also used to bribe Sakai Tadashiyo to obtain the treatment of the flag. It's just that there is less and less sand gold, and the technology to mine gold is not enough, and the real mines are located there and have not yet been developed.

In addition, Hokkaido has the third largest gold mine in Japan, which at this time was located on the territory of the Ainu people, and it is estimated that it will take 100 years before it is discovered.

The Ainu are so powerful that decades ago, the Japanese built twelve Hakokans on the island. Because of the trade in a knife, the Japanese shopkeeper stabbed the Ainu who bought the knife to death because the price could not be negotiated.

This provoked the wrath of the Ainu people, and ten of the twelve Japanese Hakodates were quickly captured.

It was during that war that the Matsumae clan rose to prominence, holding their ground to repel enemy attacks, and rallying forces to fight back, shooting the Ainu chieftain. Riding on the prestige of the war, the Matsumae clan subdued the island's wealthy clans (colonial chieftains) and ruled the southern part of Ezo Island.

Nowadays, the Japanese and Ainu people on the island are fighting at the same time as they do business. When it's time to fight, fight the war, and continue trading after the war.

After appeasing the guys in front of him, Kong Chengliang found someone who could speak the local language, and then led a team of soldiers to the territory of the Ainu.

Ainu, that is, Ezo, the translation is different, and it is also called Kuyi and Kuye in the Ming Dynasty.

So, what historical celebrities are there among the Ezo people?

Of course, the cute and powerful Nakolulu, and her eagle Mamahaha!

No more.

At this time, the leader of Ezo was called Shamu Yuyun, and in history, he was going to lead the Ezo people to revolt in three more years, and was booby-trapped by the Matsumae Domain and cut off his head.

Kong Chengliang led dozens of Datong troops and stepped into the territory of the Ezo tribe, and soon attracted the attention of the natives. What's more, their guide was still wearing a samurai uniform, and the local chief immediately surrounded him with the young men of the tribe.

The Datong army raised their muskets, and the Ezo people also raised their bows and arrows.

The guide stepped forward and explained: "This is an envoy sent by the Emperor of China, and this land will be ruled by the Emperor of China in the future, including my master, His Excellency the Master of the Matsuzen Pavilion. We're going to meet the Ezo chief! ”

The Ezo people have twelve large tribes, similar to the tribes

fell into the alliance system, and Shamu Haoyun was elected as the leader of the alliance.

Three days later, Shamu arrived with a warrior.

He had never heard of China at all, and in his mind, the Matsumae clan was a very formidable enemy, and the Matsumae clan's backer, the Andong clan, was sure to be the best in the world.

Where did China come from?

Therefore, when Shamu Yuyun met, he asked, "Has China defeated the Matsumae clan?" ”

Kong Chengliang shook his head: "No." ”

Shamu asked again: "Has China defeated the Anton?" ”

Kong Chengliang said: "We defeated the masters of the Matsumae clan and the Andong clan!" ”

Sha Mu Yunyun was dumbfounded, the powerful Matsumae clan and the Andong clan actually had another owner. And this big tribe called China actually defeated the masters of the Matsumae clan and the Andong clan!

Kong Chengliang simply took out the world map he carried with him, pointed to the map and said: "This is Ezo Island, here is Japan, and here is China." Of course, Ezo Island will also belong to China in the future. ”

Sha Mu looked at Ezo Island, which was the size of a fingernail, and then looked at China, which was bigger than a palm, and for a moment there were signs of a collapse in his worldview.

Swallowing his saliva, Sha Mu asked extravagantly, "Will China snatch our land?" ”

Kong Chengliang said: "The entire Ezo Island is Chinese territory. And the Ezo people are also the people of China, and there is no such thing as robbing your land. ”

"I'm asking, will you drive the Ezo people out of the tribal territory?" Sha Mu asked.

"No, it won't." Kong Chengliang shook his head.

Sha Mu asked again: "When trading goods, will you deceive us?" ”

Kong Chengliang said: "The emperor will send officials to establish a court, and if the Matsumae clan or Chinese merchants have oppressive behavior when dealing with you, you can go to the court to complain." The Chinese justices will uphold justice for you. Remember, if you are oppressed, you must go to court to file a complaint, and you cannot raise troops to fight without permission. ”

Sha Mu asked extravagantly, "What if the chief justice favors the Matsumae clan?" ”

"Then you can fight, and after making a big deal about it, His Majesty the Emperor will send someone to deal with it." Kong Chengliang said.

Sha Mu nodded extravagantly: "Then we will agree, if we are oppressed, we will go to the chief justice to theorize." If the justices are not fair, we will speak with bows and arrows with warriors! ”

Kong Chengliang took out the canonization edict that he had prepared last year and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, canonize you as General Ezo and rule over all Ezo tribes. You change your Chinese name, and I'll fill in your name. ”

"I won't, you can help me change one." Shamu said extravagantly.

Kong Chengliang didn't bother to think about it, and according to the other party's Ezo name, he directly named it "Sha Haoyun".
