Chapter 144: Public Reprimand of the Emperor of Japan
Now that Li Jinglong accepted the gift, the atmosphere between the two sides began to become extremely kind.
It will be some time before Emperor Komatsu arrives after Japan.
So. Li Jinglong 'temporarily' did not need to reprimand the Japanese king in the posture of the Ming Emperor.
The shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimori, also gave enough face, and the young man wore a bulky dress, personally served wine, and led Li Jinglong to meet these Japanese magnates present.
The powerful Spo, Hosokawa, and Hatakeyama families were clearly the main supporting forces of the Muromachi shogunate.
The four families of Yamana, Isshiki, Kyogoku, and Akamatsu belonged to the local powerful factions that had greater power in the central government.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jinglong didn't know if he didn't look at it, and he was startled when he saw it.
In Japan, there are a lot of opposition in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Yoshihiro Ouchi, a powerful local powerhouse in the west who was cut off by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and guarded by Izumi and Kii, looked unruly.
And Ashikaga Mitsukane, the powerful faction of the eastern Kamakura Princess, is also in this position.
This "Kamakura" does not mean the previous Kamakura shogunate, but refers to the Kamakura area.
The mission of the Kamakura Principality was to deter the ten countries of Hitachi, Musashi, Ueno, Shimono, Kaminaka, Shimoso, Anbo, Sagami, Kai, and Izu in the Kanto region for the shogun.
Originally, the Ashikaga clan originally intended to set up the new shogunate in Kamakura, and like Minamoto Yoritomo, they sat in Kamakura and kept a distance from Kyoto, so that if something happened in Kyoto, they could mobilize the Kwantung samurai and immediately go west.
Well. Lift the knife and go to Luo, and show the benefits and harms.
However, due to the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Muromachi shogunate had to abandon its original intention and stay in Kyoto to protect the fragile Northern Dynasties. However, the inability to effectively control the Kanto samurai would endanger the power of the Ashikaga clan, and the Ashikaga clan successively sent two sons, Yoshikan and Kishi, to Kamakura to control the various forces in the Kanto region, and even remotely control the situation of the Ou Daimyo.
The owner of Kamakura Prefecture was originally called the Kanto Prefecture, but later changed to Kamakura Gongkata or Kamakuraden, and was succeeded by the descendants of Kiji.
This generation has been passed down to Ashikaga Mankane.
Although they are all surnamed "Ashikaga", the butt decides the head.
The Ashikaga clan of the Kanto region, how can they not covet the throne of the shogun of the Ashikaga clan in Kyoto?
This shogun, you deserve the Kyoto Ashikaga clan, but I can't deserve the Kanto Ashikaga clan?
There is no such reason.
As for the Yamana clan, which once occupied one-sixth of Japan, as mentioned earlier, was tossed miserably by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Mameitoku Rebellion, and only the three kingdoms of Taji, Hakugi and Inaba were left in his hands from the eleven countries to the present, and his dissatisfaction with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can also be seen from the details.
As for other powerful daimyos, such as Shimazu, Kono, Ogasawara, Uesugi, etc., their positions do not seem to be so solid.
The most outstanding is Imagawa Rytoshi, who was once known as the "King of Kyushu".
It's just that I wrote three big words "I don't agree" directly on his face.
Imagawa Ryōtoshi was born in the same Ashikaga clan, formerly known as Imagawa Sadayo, and was the son of Imagawa Hokuni, the third governor of the Imagawa family, and successively served as the guardian of Enoe and Suruga.
However, this is the dragon that came out of the loach nest of the Imagawa family.
Imagawa Ryōtoshi was both civil and military, and was a generation of famous generals during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan.
In terms of literature, he is the author of the famous work "The Tale of the Troubled Taiping", and he has a profound knowledge of Sinology.
In terms of martial arts, as the commander of the Northern Army, Imagawa Ryōtoshi, who served as a researcher in Kyushu, went to Kyushu, and in seven years, he fought in various places, from weak to strong, and finally commanded the Northern Army to launch a general attack, captured Mt. Kora, and the Kikuchi Army (the main force of the Southern Army's expedition to the Western Prefecture) was forced to withdraw to the base area of Higo.
After this decisive battle, the balance of military power between the North and the South was completely broken.
After the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Imagawa Ryozan served as the guardian of Bigo, Anyu, Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Hizen, Higo, Hinata, Osumi, Satsuma and other places, and was known as the "King of Kyushu", and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition.
During his tenure, he was also a good diplomat.
Imagawa Ryōtoshi obtained the right to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and secretly negotiated with the Goryeo envoy Chung Mong-ju alone, and after the establishment of the Lee Joseon Dynasty, he continued to be in charge of negotiations with Korea, and also pursued a foreign policy of good-neighborliness and friendship such as requiring the Ouchi clan to suppress the Japanese who harassed the Ming Dynasty, return the kidnapped Koreans, and seek the Tripitaka.
In other words - pro-Ming.
Of course, Imagawa Ryotō, who has a high degree of achievement, has now been pulled into a bare-pole commander by the old fox Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and lives in Kyoto.
Li Jinglong and Imagawa Ryotoshi hit it off at first sight, and the two talked for a moment about literature and the art of war, and drank eight glasses of wine before continuing.
The feelings of the two are almost identical.
On paper, I finally met my opponent!
However, Imagawa didn't know the actual combat achievements of this Ming general, but he just felt that the other party was well-versed in the art of war and had excellent literary literacy, and he was a rare person who could make friends with him.
It's too late to see each other!
Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi introduced it in a circle.
Li Jinglong also completed the task of giving Zhu Di an errand.
That's how it was written: The minister has found out that the Ouchi clan in the west, the Kamakura Gongkata in the eastern Kanto, the Yamana clan in the north, and the Imagawa Ryatoshi in Kyoto are all opposition members of the Muromachi shogunate that can be wooed. The shogunate is brutal and loses the hearts of the people, just waiting for the arrival of the king, the Japanese heroes will win the grain and the people, and the people will eat the pot pulp, and the period of victory is just around the corner.
Zhu Di believes it or not, he doesn't know, anyway, he himself believes.
It's another round of staggering.
Outside the Flower Palace, a long tone suddenly came.
Li Jinglong turned his head and asked the interpreter: "What do you mean?" ”
"Japan after Komatsuten. The king has arrived. ”
Sure enough, even if the Japanese magnates seemed a little reluctant, they were still forced to meet the puppet emperor in accordance with traditional etiquette and feudal customs.
Emperor Go-Komatsu wore a crown on his head and a crown robe, which was originally quite a majestic attire, but because of his small stature and the long-term intimidation of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it seemed a little obscene.
In fact, the life of Emperor Komatsu is no different from that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
And the decline of the emperor can be seen from a very small thing.
One day 60 years ago, when the Guangyan Emperor of the Northern Dynasty went out on patrol, he met a beautiful guardian Tuqi Lai Yuan, and the emperor's close ministers shouted: The emperor is here, get off the horse quickly!
When Tsuchiki Lai Yuan heard this, instead of dismounting, he said angrily: You can tell clearly whether it is a courtyard driver or a dog driver (the pronunciation of the courtyard and dog in Japanese is similar) If it is a dog driver, shoot him with an arrow.
As he spoke, he really drew arrows and shot them, and his entourage rushed up, tore off the curtain on the emperor's car, overturned the car, and beat the ministers beside the emperor.
In the aftermath, Toki Yorito was executed by the shogunate, but this caused even greater displeasure among the lower-class samurai.
Some people say, "If there is no emperor, you should carve one out of wood or cast one in gold, and exile the living emperor to another place to save trouble." There are also people who lament, "The phoenix is born in the last days, and the downfall is also sad; The pheasants were hit by wildfires and expelled from the nests".
In fact, at that time, the emperor could still be regarded as a small prince.
At this time, Emperor Gokomatsu really became a puppet without real power for half a day, and it is no wonder that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu planned to wait for the queen mother to die, let his stepwife be his godmother, and himself be his godfather, and then his son usurped his throne.
Therefore, the reception of the envoys of the Ming Kingdom was not at the Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan, but at the Flower Palace of the Shogun.
Later, Emperor Komatsu arrived at the Flower Palace, even if he sat on the throne of the Japanese side, he still looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and acted, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart.
Li Jinglong's mood at this time was slightly heavy.
Stretching out the head is a knife, and the lock is also a knife, and what should come is destined to be dodged.
After another half an hour, the greetings were over.
Li Jinglong cleared his throat, and everyone's eyes looked at him.
Li Jinglong didn't talk nonsense, he took out Zhu Di's edict directly from his arms, and looked at the Japanese magnates in front of him with a sense of seeing death as home.
From Emperor Gokomatsu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Ashikaga Yoshinori, and Hino Yoshiko, to Akigawa Ryōtoshi (King of Kyushu), Ashikaga Mitsukane (Kamakura Mansion), and Ouchi Yoshihiro (Ouchi Chief), all of them stood up and prepared to receive the order.
Li Jinglong unfolded the holy decree, took a deep breath, looked at the neat handwriting on the holy decree, and was a little dizzy for a while.
If this thing is read out, can it really go back to Daming alive?
Sending the wrong gift made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unhappy at most.
can reprimand the Japanese king in public, according to Jiang Xinghuo's "shame concept" of the Japanese, I'm afraid there will be a caesarean section, no, the Japanese will hack him to death and then disembowel.
Li Jinglong's mind was full of thoughts, but now in this situation, he can only be forced by the overlord.
With the blessing of the ancestors of the heavens, the gods serve the spirits, the generals use their lives, and the Jingping country is in trouble, that is, the emperor's throne, which has been several months.
Guangdong since ancient times, the emperor lived in China and ruled the four Yi, successive dynasties, Xianyu Sidao.
The four Yi, Goryeo, Annam, Champong, Ryukyu, and Java can be ordered to obey the heavens, call the ministers to pay tribute, and only the Japanese will not come for a long time. ”
The Chinese level of the Japanese magnates is generally okay, and Li Jinglong's words can basically be understood, which means nothing more than that the new emperor won the battle of Jingyan and ascended the throne for several months.
However, the last two words "Wayi" angered the sensitive nerves of the Japanese elite.
"Yaga!"
A warrior walked out angrily and came to Li Jinglong's eyes a dozen paces.
Li Jinglong was ready to throw away the edict at any time and draw his sword for self-defense.
The warrior, however, sat down on his knees.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, the voice of the young shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori came.
"Yaga! Nanioh Site all the way to Scar? Woo a bit! ”
The interpreter behind Li Jinglong was still faithful to the traveler's own duties, and whispered: "Damn, what are you doing, go back." ”
The angry warrior grew even angrier in the blink of an eye.
Then he rolled back in a rage.
And the young shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimori, stood up and bowed to Li Jinglong to apologize.
Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that the scene would turn into a knife drawn.
However, this shogun looks like a young man, like a person who can be cultivated into a friendly and enlightened person.
If Li Jinglong knew that Ashikaga Yoshinori was still a hardcore anti-Ming faction the day before, although he was only opposing his father, I am afraid he would not think so.
He would only call out "Jiang Lang is right".
As long as the money is in place, it is true that the king has to shout long live.
Li Jinglong's role at this time was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he couldn't return the salute, so he could only nod slightly at the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshimori.
And just this nod made Ashikaga Yoshinori breathe a sigh of relief.
Emperor Gokomatsu, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the shogun suspiciously.
It's strange, when did Ashikaga Yoshimori, who is usually full of liver fire, become so patient?
It stands to reason that he is not the most opposed to his father Ashikaga Yoshimitsu being obedient to the Ming Dynasty?
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimochi should show a tough attitude to gain political capital, even if he does not draw the sword himself.
What does it mean to let a loyal samurai go back without doing anything?
Li Jinglong, who was interrupted by the vignette, swallowed.
Although Li Jinglong didn't know what would happen if he continued to read.
But he had to bite the bullet and think that there was only one way to go.
"Woohoo! Qin Ruohaotian, the royal road is constant, Fu Shun and rebellion, ancient and modern Yi Xian.
In the case, I inherited Hongxu, ruled the Zhaoren, and the mountains and mountains of Hai and Hai were all my children.
Foolish and foolish, haunting the seashore and disturbing my people, is it not self-destruction? ”
This paragraph is also very easy to understand, Huaxia follows the will of God, appeases those who go with me, and crusades against me, which is the same in ancient and modern times, not to mention that I have such a vast territory, and everyone in the world is my child, you robbers on the seashore and harass the people of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it self-destruction?
This sentence is really a bit of a slap in the face.
"Yaga!"
Another younger warrior angrily walked out and came to Li Jinglong's eyes twenty paces away.
Haven't waited for him to do anything.
"Bang!"
A book was smashed directly on the young samurai's body, and the young samurai of the Hino clan saw his aunt Hino Yeko staring at him fiercely, and couldn't help but tremble with fright, and directly gave up his anger and shrank back.
Hino Yeko's old face turned around and squeezed out a smile to Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong also bowed slightly.
Although Li Jinglong didn't know why the other party was inexplicably courting him, he nodded right.
After all, the old woman solved her current predicament.
Emperor Komatsu looked at Yoshiko Hino again suspiciously.
Why did the Imperial Observatory defend the general of the Ming Kingdom so much?
Because this Ming general is tall and handsome?
Emperor Gokomatsu's gaze turned to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who was hunched up.
only to find that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was looking at him inadvertently, and Emperor Komatsu immediately retracted his gaze like an electric shock.
Emperor Komatsu's feelings for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu are mixed with complex emotions such as gratitude, fear, and worship.
In Jiang Xinghuo's words, Emperor Komatsu was controlled by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu for too long, and instead produced Stockholm syndrome.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is actually the spiritual idol of Emperor Go-Komatsu in a sense.
Li Jinglong was already a little numb, and he continued to make an announcement without emotion.
"Now that China is stable, there is no place for fierce generals, and wise men have nothing to do.
The elite is full of food, and he is waiting for him all day long; The warship must sail for thousands of miles.
If Eryi is not afraid of China, he will organize a huge boat, wade far away from the rivers and seas, drive by land and water, and use each other, resulting in punishment in Erbang.
At that time, the ship was in flames, and the sea was boiling; Gejia accumulates in the high mountains, and the atmosphere is soaked and cleaned.
The wild goose returns, and the seal of the basket is the same; Xiong Zhen Zhen Brigade, the Han family's Dewei broadcast.
Our country is benevolent and gracious, and those who are obedient will not be helped; Righteous and martial arts, those who jump off the beam, although strong, will be killed. ”
When the analogy depicting the future war scene of tomorrow is finished.
Another Japanese samurai jumped out.
However, before he could read the line, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu drew his katana from his waist with agility that was completely inappropriate for his age, got up and swung it from behind.
The sword flashed, and the corpses separated.
Watching the samurai's head roll down in the banquet hall of the Flower Palace, and then looking at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who was wiping the blade, Emperor Gokomatsu not only swallowed his saliva, but also shrank back.
Next, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's actions made the Japanese elites, who were already a little confused, even more confused.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu actually kowtowed to Li Jinglong, who played the role of Emperor Ming Dynasty, in front of the case.
Is this still the high-flying Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took the lead in prostrating, the rest of the people hurriedly followed suit.
"The rudeness of the fools, please forgive the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
At this time, everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
- Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is paying tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
In this way, his previous behavior of drinking with Li Jinglong is easy to explain, it is to please Ming Guo!
It's just that everyone is wondering: what happened? What about Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who can make pride and arrogance to the extreme, bow his head and bow down?
"N-Nani?" Emperor Go-Komatsu was shocked and thought to himself, "Is this still Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?" Why would you be so respectful to the envoys of the Ming Kingdom? ”
Emperor Komatsu suddenly felt that a spiritual idol in his heart had suddenly collapsed.
Li Jinglong was completely stunned this time.
If you give a gift before, you can still be regarded as someone Ashikaga is generous, does not care, and directly repays grievances.
But now, how to explain it?
Obviously, the other party was reprimanded, and he was scolded by Da Ming, and the threat of war was added.
But the other party's reaction was to kowtow and apologize.
Could it be that this generation of Japanese heroes is really afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and is he still afraid to this extent?
It doesn't make sense at all.
Li Jinglong hurriedly personally helped Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took advantage of the situation to stand up on his knees, and when the two looked at each other, he looked up at Li Jinglong and showed a "you know" smile.
Li Jinglong nodded mechanically.
Don't care what the other person means, just nod your head.
And Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes lit up!
He was sure that he had passed the test of the Ming Kingdom!
And then, as long as the Ming general is well entertained and wooed, the matter of the Ashikaga clan replacing the emperor of the Northern Dynasty will be acquiesced by the Ming Dynasty, and as for the exploration and trade between Japan and the Ming Kingdom, it can be justifiably discussed.
Li Jinglong really didn't understand anything, and his brain was already a little out of work at this time.
He did not understand why the legendary Japanese, who were very vicious, were so polite to him.
I don't understand, why I know that I haven't seen Jiang Xinghuo's caesarean section performance now.
Li Jinglong could only continue to read numbly and finish the last paragraph of the edict.
"Isn't it beautiful to be able to change your heart and obey your orders, send envoys to hear each other, and protect peace together?
I hereby use the Bulletin State to give the heart of last resort, to know that I dare not forgive, not to cross the will and to do the punishment, and to keep the righteousness in order to enjoy the peace. ”
Well, the meaning couldn't be simpler, if you can change your mind and quickly send a messenger to meet the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then it can keep you safe, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite.
Of course, it's just an edict.
If you Japan really believe it, then Zhu Di can only say that you are too young and too simple.
The next part is the final part.
The Emperor of Japan accepted the will of the Great Ming Emperor.
To receive the order, it must be accepted.
But the question is, what is the etiquette to receive?
If it is according to the etiquette of the vassal state, then you have to kneel down and receive the order.
What Annam, Ryukyu, Champong, Java, Korea. It's all like this, and the king has to kneel, because the messenger of the Ming Dynasty represents the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you don't follow the etiquette of the vassal state, can you save face?
Emperor Go-Komatsu, who was so shocked that he couldn't say anything, originally wanted to show the backbone of the emperor to the Japanese magnates, and planned to take the edict as an equal.
However, when he stood in front of Li Jinglong to receive the order, he somehow, looking at the tall and majestic Li Jinglong, suddenly remembered the sentence in the edict: "The ship is in flames, and the sea is boiling; Gejia accumulates in the high mountains, and the atmosphere is soaked and cleaned".
In the mind of Emperor Go-Komatsu, such a picture instantly appeared.
It was as if he had seen the Japanese ships burned in the harbor, and even the sea was boiling, and the weapons and armor of the shogunate army, which were ridiculously rudimentary compared to the Ming Kingdom, were piled aside like garbage by the Ming people who disdained to use them, and they were piled up into a hill.
And himself, as the supreme ruler of Japan, was bound by his hands behind his back.
Surrender in white!
Guilty of guilt!
This is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, in order to preserve his remnants of the army, forced himself to be a substitute for the dead ghost, to face the anger of the Ming people!
He knelt down in front of Li Jinglong, the general of the Ming Kingdom who was in charge of the expedition, and Li Jinglong pulled out the Onimaru knife and was about to kill himself, the ghost who died for the dead.
And all this is because when he accepted the edict, he did not act with the etiquette of a vassal to the Celestial Empire!
- The Ming people used this as an excuse to provoke a war.
Emperor Komatsu, who has lived in the shadow of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu for a long time, has long since exhausted his self-confidence.
And Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was invincible in the world in his heart just now, knelt humbly in front of the general of the Ming country, and even showed a flattering smile to the general of the Ming country.
This scene made him feel contrast, resentment, shame, disbelief and inferiority.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, where is your majesty? What about your spirit? Aren't you invincible in the world by uniting the north and the south? Why did you kneel down in front of the envoys of the Ming Kingdom? Why are you smiling so flatteringly?
Why?!
Great fear captured the heart of Emperor Go-Komatsu.
Emperor Go-Komatsu's heart was pounding, but he felt dizzy again.
No!
Japan must not be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!
This emperor will never be Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's substitute for the dead!
"Poof".
Emperor Komatsu, who was in his heart, weakened his knees, just like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had just done, knelt down and raised his hands high to receive the order.
As soon as he knelt down, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
The thought was cleared.
"Kneel and kneel, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also knelt just now, besides, kneel to the Ming Emperor, there is no shame." Emperor Komatsu comforted himself in his heart.
This kneeling actually made the surrounding Japanese magnates lose their minds for a while.
This is the Emperor of Japan!
No matter how down-and-out and puppet-like, that's also the Emperor of Japan!
It is a symbol of Japan!
And now, like a roadside dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, he knelt at the feet of the general of the Ming Kingdom.
Even if they knew that this was the etiquette that the vassal states had to implement when dealing with the Ming Kingdom, it still had a huge impact on their spiritual world.
What makes them even more puzzling is that the three main figures of the shogunate are almost competing with me to show favor to the general of the Ming Kingdom!
Incomprehensible! It's just incomprehensible!
Li Jinglong looked at the king of Japan who knelt down to accept the order, and then looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Ashikaga Yoshimochi, Hino Yeko and others who were smiling at him with a friendly smile, and always felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Is there something wrong with this ending?
Forget it, no matter.
Since the task has been successfully completed, the ordered coffin can also be returned.
And another subtle thought also rose from his heart.
Holding authority in his hands, and bowing his head to the foreign vassals, such a feeling seems to be ...... Not bad?
——————
A few months later.
In March of the first year of Yongle, Li Jinglong, who had been in Japan for a long time, was finally sent back to Daming by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was warmly entertained.
Along with the Ming mission, there was also the Japanese mission.
The head envoy of the Japanese mission was Imagawa Ryōtoshi, who had been in charge of diplomatic work for a long time during the Kyushu period and had been in charge of the Ming Dynasty and Korea.
Another special member of the mission was the Yukimai Sakura, who was sent to the Ming Kingdom to study Buddhism based on the political tradition of the Japanese imperial family from the Heian period.
The Yangtze River is mighty, the boats are like shuttles, the scenery on both sides of the strait is beautiful, and the voices of people are boiling.
"It's so beautiful."
Standing on the bow deck of the ship, the Snow Dance Sakura looks out over Kyoto.
At this moment, she is wearing a plain monk's robe, holding a Zen staff, and stepping on cloth shoes, looking like she is indisputable with the world, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a fanaticism and ambition hidden in her eyes!
Since she left Japan and followed the envoys to the Ming Dynasty, she has seen the vast land of the Ming Kingdom, the cultural atmosphere that amazed her, and the prosperity of the town since the port of Ningbo.
Especially, when she witnessed the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty,
It was only when the city of Nanjing, which attracted all the maritime merchants of Japan, that she really realized that the Japan where she once lived could only be regarded as a remote island!
The Ming Dynasty is the center of the entire Confucian cultural circle and the center of the whole world!
What's more, she also heard from the mouths of the Ming people - the military power of the Ming Dynasty is ten times stronger than the Japan she is familiar with?
It is even no exaggeration to say that in Daming, she almost can't use her common sense to judge the strength of the Ming army!
Because, Daming is too big and mysterious!
Even Imagawa Rytoshi, known as the "Shogunate God of War", didn't understand the specific situation of Daming at all.
Because Imagawa Ryōtoshi spent more than ten years before and after attacking Kyushu Island and becoming the "King of Kyushu", it was only limited to one island, and the battle was only a few thousand people, as long as there were tens of thousands of people, it was already a super-large-scale joint battle.
In Li Jinglong's mouth, he once commanded an army of 600,000 to confront the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is that after getting to know him in Ningbo and other places, Imagawa knew that the general was not bragging.
Imagawa Ryōtoshi, who prides himself on being a veteran soldier, could not imagine what kind of powerful dispatch ability the commander needed to command an army of 600,000 to maintain a normal marching order without collapsing.
That's food, water, medicine, weapons, mules and horses for 600,000 people!
Imagawa Rytoshi is the only thing that can be determined, Daming definitely has a strength that far exceeds that of Japan dozens of times!
Also at the bow of the boat, Li Jinglong's big red robe was blown by the wind.
He looked at the outline of the city of Nanjing, and sighed at the fact that the trip to Japan for several months was really like a world away.
Jiang Xinghuo taught him the method, and by mistake he successfully completed the task, and he didn't know if it was in Jiang Xinghuo's calculations.
I really miss Jiang Lang, according to the time, I should have been released from prison a long time ago.
Wait a minute.
Wrong!
What's this on the port?
Li Jinglong frowned and looked at the strange hoisting tool, and his eyelids jumped slightly.
"Grandpa Guo, the newspaper in the hands of the people."
Cao Ah Da first took a few family members to go ashore in a small boat, informed the officials and relatives who greeted them on the shore, and then brought back this thing.
"Why are there so many people?" Li Jinglong asked with some displeasure.
The emperor lied to him again, and when he said that he had successfully returned, he would bring the Manchu civil and military to greet him.
While speaking, Li Jinglong took over the extremely poor printing quality of the newspaper.
"Not true. This is not the imperial court's newspaper. ”
Li Jinglong swept over this strange "Ming Pao" with a glance and ten lines.
There are numbers written on it, circles are drawn, and these numbers Li Jinglong has seen them, Arabs.
(1) The third phase of Daming agricultural breeding special treasury bonds will be sold soon.
(2) The winning number of this period (Arabic numerals).
(3) The fifty-eighth chapter of "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms": Kebi can commit the army on behalf of the county, and Gongsun Zan breaks the Hulu.
Further down, there are some things that Li Jinglong can't understand.
Cao Ada, who was next to him, finally couldn't help it, and reminded: "Grandpa Guo, you have fallen over the back, and now the government and the opposition are quarreling, and the fight is what is written on it." ”
Li Jinglong turned over the shoddy piece of paper of "Ming Pao," only to see several articles with completely opposite positions written on the front one after another.
"The Phenomenology of Spirit and the 'Negation of Negation', Your Majesty is the Spirit of the World on Horseback"
Signature: Dao Yan.
"My heart is the universe, heaven and earth are one with me", refutes Mr. Ercheng's theory of nature and reason"
Signature: Natsuhara Yoshi.
"The 'Contradiction of the Two Laws' Proves that Gewu cannot be known, and Gewu Science must be independent"
Signature: Zhang Yuchu.
"There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, from the 'life two' to talk about the rheology of reason"
Signature: Yuan Hui.
There are also several newspaper rebuttals by the apologists.
Li Jinglong took a deep breath and roughly understood that at this time, the government and the opposition were arguing about Taoism, and they should not be able to take care of him.
Li Jinglong knew who made these things with his toes.
But he rummaged through the entire newspaper, but still couldn't find the familiar name.
- What about Jiang Xinghuo?
Regarding Li Jinglong's doubts, I have to turn the timeline back to a few days after he left for Japan.
(End of chapter)
