"No, there's the shogunate." The envoy said.

"The lowly Ashikaga clan was originally just an inferior samurai, but he supported the puppets of the imperial family and grasped great power by relying on arrogance and subordination."

"Now, in conjunction with Prince Huailiang, we are pressing on our returnees step by step, and the situation between us and His Majesty the Emperor is becoming more and more difficult, so we have to turn to Daming for help." Speaking of the shogun Ashikaga Sonji, Fujiwara Takashi gritted his teeth with a straight face.

Zhu Su opened his mouth to ask, only then did he know that in the "Northern and Southern Dynasties" of the Japanese Kingdom, most of the Japanese ministers who were close to the Ming Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, under the organization of the Fujiwara family, established an organization called "Guizongzhong", thinking that the emperor should seek the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and even directly attach the vassals. And this proposition was naturally opposed by Prince Huailiang and the samurai daimyo who held military power, and the two sides were tense and inseparable.

In addition, the Northern Dynasty was thriving in recent years, and under the leadership of the shogun Ashikaga family, many warlords of the Southern Dynasty were subjugated. Seeing that the army was about to force the Southern Dynasty and unify the Japanese Kingdom.

It was precisely because of such internal and external difficulties that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty rushed to seek medical assistance from the Ming Dynasty.

"My Daoyan monk of the Ming Dynasty, and Mr. Gao Qi, how are you doing in the Wa Kingdom now?" Zhu Su asked again.

"Lord Gao Qi is now the teacher of His Majesty Emperor Changkei, and he has a great influence in the Wa Kingdom." Takanao Fujiwara replied truthfully. "And Master Dao Yan lost his trace when he just landed a few years ago."

"Someone said...... He took refuge in the Ashikaga shogunate......" Takanao Fujiwara said, carefully looking at Zhu Su's expression.

"Defect to the shogunate?" Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, could it be that Yao Guangxiao's monk was ambitious and ready to work with the shogun of the Wa State to complete the grand cause of unifying the Wa Kingdom?

After thinking about it, I felt that my idea was really ridiculous: what kind of character Yao Guangxiao was, how could a small country of Japanese people fill his lofty ambitions.

If the shogun of Raushzi didn't use him Yao Guangxiao, it would be fine. But if you are bold, it will definitely lead the wolf into the house and be pitted with your bottoms.

Thinking of this, Zhu Su didn't ask in detail, but stood up and said goodbye to the Fujiwara ambassador. Fujiwara hurriedly leaned over and kowtowed respectfully. Along the way after that, Zhu Su, Mu Ying, and Lan Yu often came to look for him, and asked him about the current situation, mountains and rivers, geography, customs and other issues of the Japanese Kingdom.

Even the map near Gyeonggi was presented with unreserved hands.

What's more, this person has a very low attitude, and along the way, he has made friends with many generals, so even Lan Yu has nothing to do, and he often looks for him to drink.

"Xiao Wu, although this person is sincere, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, we still don't believe what he says." Mu Ying reminded.

"yes, I know." Zhu Su nodded. "This time to go to the Japanese country, except for Mr. Gao Qigao, no one can believe me."

"But the Japanese Dynasty is not fake, and after meeting with Mr. Gao, he will find out when he asks. I don't think this person will be deceived. ”

"Idleness along the way is also idleness, and we can also discuss one or two about this and make some preparations in advance."

"Hmm." Mu Ying nodded, if she wants to gain a foothold in the Japanese country, she is bound to make a fuss from this situation.

The group went all the way north and arrived at Shuntianfu in Beiping first. Outside the city, Xu Da has sent people to meet here. Zhu Su entered the city and met Xu Da, and after greeting for a while, Xu Da asked about Zhu Su's plan.

"Uncle Xu, my nephew only let General Lan Yu unfurl the banner all the way, and did not show that the carriage and horses said that they were going to the Wa Kingdom."

"Therefore, my nephew is ready to let General Lan lead 25,000 men into Liaodong, falsely claiming 30,000, and pretending to guard against Goryeo."

"And my nephew led 5,000 elite soldiers, took the grain ship of General Zhang He's return, and went directly through the Wa Kingdom."

"Wait for the matter to be clear, and then let General Lan Yu lead the soldiers and horses as a rear team and enter the Wa Kingdom. This is safe. ”

According to Zhu Su's statement, Xu Da observed it on the map, frowned and shook his head: "No." After all, Liaodong and the Wa Kingdom are separated by the sea, leaving Lan Yu in Liaodong, in case things are repeated, you encounter a crisis, send someone to ask for help, Lan Yu got the letter and then led the troops to cross the sea, this back and forth will take several months. ”

"Your Majesty sent you on a campaign, but you can't go to danger easily. If you, the prince, have three longs and two shorts, and only one widow, it is really not enough to compensate in case. ”

Zhu Su was stunned by what Xu Da said, and said in his heart that Uncle Xu really looks up to me. However, the concern in Xu Da's words cannot be ignored. So he smiled and said: "I was the king of the Ming Dynasty, and I was originally going to let the prince guard the country." Now it is a national policy to plan the Japanese country, Uncle Xu, you are all guarding in this bitter cold place in northern Xinjiang, and the little nephew, as a member of the Zhu family, should be even more responsible and take the lead. ”

"That's not an easy risk." Xu Da still shook his head. The heart said that you kid is heroic, so I have to let my daughter live and be widowed before she gets married. He turned around and scrutinized the map, and opened his mouth to say, "I have a more secure method, you can take a look." ”

"What's the method?" Zhu Su sat up straight and asked.

"Take this place first, so that you can do the transit." Xu Da's finger poked lightly at the map on the screen.

"Tamna?" Zhu Su looked at the island that Xu Da pointed to, and only felt that he could see the sun in his heart, and he admired Xu Da instantly.

……

Tamna Island, later known as Jeju Island, has beautiful scenery and abundant resources, and faces Tsushima Island across the sea from the Japanese Kingdom. In later generations, he was proudly called his "Oriental Hawaii" by the Great Cold Underworld.

But few people know that this island was actually ceded to the Han Kingdom by the Ming Dynasty.

After the rise of the Yuan Dynasty, it annexed Goryeo and allocated the entire territory of Goryeo to the "Eastern Province" of the Great Yuan, with the intention of using Goryeo as a springboard to conquer the Wa Kingdom. However, due to its strategic location, Jeju Island was not included in the province of Zhengdongxing, but was taken out separately and used as a horse breeding ground for the Mongols.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Emperor Yuan Shun was about to be defeated, he sent people to build a palace on Jeju Island, preparing to take refuge on Jeju Island at any time to avoid the advance of the rebel army. However, the Northern Expedition offensive of the Ming Dynasty and Chang Yuchun was too fierce, far beyond the expectations of Emperor Yuan Shun. Before the palace was built, the Yuan Dynasty's deceased monarch named Tieguo was frightened and fled directly to the grassland, and Jeju Island became an enclave under Mongol rule.

Jeju Island has become an enclave, and Goryeo is naturally eyeing this resource-rich island. But although this land is a piece of fat on the side of their mouths, they don't dare to open their mouths easily: first, because this land is still nominally under the rule of Yuan Ting, although Yuan Ting fled to Mobei, but he is still eyebrow with the high-level of Goryeo. Moreover, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, forcing the Yuan Court to crush Goryeo to death, and it was still like crushing an ant.

The second is that the momentum of the Ming Dynasty is fierce, and when the country was first founded, Goryeo immediately sent a letter of surrender to recognize his father. Now I don't know Daming's attitude towards Jeju Island, where does Goryeo dare to move? You must know that the Ming Dynasty, which replaced the Yuan Dynasty, has a natural claim to this island!

An island involves two big fathers, the new father and the old father. Even if Goryeo is a rebel in his bones, how dare he upset these two big dads at the same time?
