Chapter 183: The Shogunate's Attitude towards the Ming Dynasty

Now, the Ming Dynasty was able to take such a positive attitude to restart foreign trade, which was very precious to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

And he himself felt that this opportunity to re-enhance communication with Daming was even more difficult, after all, the sea ban order for such a long time...

For the Wa Kingdom, which was already extremely dependent on the Ming Dynasty, it was a very painful period of time.

But now it's different, you must know that those Tessie red-haired merchants overseas, if they are only here to trade, follow the rules of the shogunate.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is not so resistant, but the most important thing is that these people are extremely dishonest.

One of the most important is that he is constantly taking advantage of the relationship between the Japanese kingdom and the daimyo and feudal lords in various places to make a big fuss in it.

Wa kingdom under the rule of the shogunate.

The class system between people is obvious, and there is an extremely strict system in the middle to restrain all the people at the bottom of the Japanese state...

But this group of red-haired merchants.

He actually preached in the country. How could Tokugawa Iemitsu accept this, and if this missionary became a Ming dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu would still be very willing.

"Have these bastards figured it out, now we rely on Daming! Silver has no use now, and if we want to exchange things from overseas, we have only one way to go! ”

The side generals were a little afraid to speak out.

Everyone around was shocked, as the future head of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Iemitsu already had a monarchy posture, although he did not hold all the power at all.

"The Great General.. I'm afraid this matter still has to be discussed, and in the eyes of many people, now we can directly let those red-haired merchants come back and do business with us..."

"Oh?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression changed slightly, but he was not noticed by the person who spoke.

"Go on... What else to say? ”

“.. Many people think that our trade with Daming is a very loss... After all, many of the things sold by Daming are more expensive than those red-haired merchants, and they just want to own one or two churches in the country."

"One or two churches?" Tokugawa Iemitsu spoke out angrily.

Directly stood up and said to the man: "You understand, you are my partner who grew up with me, you were a partner when I was a child, and you are also my biggest help when I grow up, anyone can have this idea, but you just can't!" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu tried his best to suppress his anger.

"That's not a church! That's digging a grave for the Tokugawa family, you know?! ”

"If the Tokugawa family can't grasp the minds of those people at the bottom, let them all grasp the knowledge and grasp the thoughts, you know? That would be a huge disaster for us, and I could even give them the right to eat their stomachs! But they were not allowed to accept any choice other than to obey the rule of the Tokugawa family! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little hoarse, mainly because such ideas were too dangerous, and the ideas of the Ming Dynasty had a long history for the Wa Kingdom.

Therefore, even if the people accepted it, Tokugawa Iemitsu would not have any opinions.

After all, in the thoughts passed on by the Ming Dynasty, it is mainly loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

If this is the case, what threat can all this pose to Tokugawa Iemitsu?

Why not.

But those red-haired merchants shouted out what freedom and church in the territory of the Wa Kingdom without saying a word, how could Tokugawa Iemitsu not be vigilant?

"Tell those idiots! Put your attitude low when you are in the Ming Dynasty! We are a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty! Got it? Got it? If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, would you think that those red-haired merchants wouldn't have turned into red-haired robbers overnight? ”

During the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu demonstrated the unparalleled ability to rule the third shogun, benefiting from the education of his grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

His attitude towards the Ming Dynasty is extremely complicated, if there is no Ming 300,000 troops to attack Houjin.

There will also be no Tokugawa Iemitsu who continues to shout for the Ming Dynasty today.

You must know that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin is now a war at the level of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, in the face of such a scale of war.

Tokugawa Iemitsu only felt that these so-called wars within the Wa Kingdom were in his own right.

It's as ridiculous as children fighting each other...

"In addition, transport more silver to Daming, that silver is of no use to us, only in exchange for enough supplies is something that is being useful."

"Yes.. Great General. ”

...

Daming, Shuntianfu.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the white-faced ghost-like envoys in front of him with a headache, if it weren't for his appearance and dress in the hall, he was weird everywhere.

I don't know, I thought it was the minister who brought his child to the court.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We would like to meet you on behalf of the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wakuni Kingdom.." After that, several people moved skillfully, pouting their butts and kneeling on top of the Jinluan Hall.

"Okay, okay, I know, excuse me."

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Youzhen's face was full of helplessness, if it weren't for the face of the silver, he would definitely not listen to Bi Ziyan's nonsense and take out his precious time to meet this group of guys.

After all, in his impression, these short Japanese people are not a good thing.

In later history, these guys were almost synonymous with ingratitude.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wakuni Kingdom, we would like to ask you to open up the free sale of some iron agricultural implements and swords and weapons."

The envoy of the Japanese State spoke Chinese with a smell of raw fish that Zhu Youzhen listened to, which made Zhu Youzhen's face even more ugly.

Turning his head to Bi Ziyan, he said, "Didn't I say that I would open up some trade in iron products and steel products?" Why do these Japanese people still come to ask these questions..."

"Your Majesty.. These guys want to buy 100,000 pieces. I have to add it later. Such a large amount, no one can do it, Lord.."

After Bi Ziyan replied, Zhu Youzhen nodded and signaled that he understood.

opened his mouth and said: "The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, so naturally he will not be stingy with this little bit of iron, but the question is what do you Tokugawa Shogunate family do with so many iron tools?" ”

"Uh... This is naturally for the purpose of engaging in agriculture .." The messenger's face did not change, and he began to talk nonsense.

"So? Otherwise, Daming still has a lot of eliminated wooden farm tools, and I have saved a lot over the years, so I will sell them all to you this time. ”

"Ahh

Before the messenger could react.

Zhu Youzhen also waved his hand, and said generously: "What's this, you're welcome, I will ask them to give you a cheap price for this batch of things!" ”
