Chapter 506: The Affair of the Wa Kingdom
The Japanese people were already short, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that they sent Japanese women to Taizhou to "borrow seeds" for a generation, and their height improved slightly. But even so, in the Ming Dynasty, the average height was still just over one meter.
And the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, because they rarely intermarry with foreign surnames, in terms of height, they are even shorter than ordinary Wa people. This Prince Huailiang, Zhu Su looked at it, and he could barely have a meter. Such a dwarf winter melon, dare to say that this king is a yellow-mouthed child?
Don't pee first, see what virtues you have!
Prince Huailiang was not very proficient in Chinese, and it took a long time to digest Zhu Su's long sentence to understand it thoroughly. For his height, this short old man has also been inferior for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Baga!" Then reach out and touch the hilt of the sword.
"Your Excellency! If you want to draw a sword against the prince of the Ming Kingdom, do you want the Wa Kingdom to bear the thunderous wrath of His Majesty the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom? Fujiwara hurriedly shouted.
"It's Dayuan, who was also killed by my Yamato's warriors. What about the Ming Kingdom, can it be stronger than Da Yuan? Prince Huailiang said wildly.
Zhu Su's expression was even more disdainful, this short guy said it so reasonably, but he didn't even want to have a face. Dayuan returned twice without success because he encountered a typhoon and had a fart relationship with the so-called "Yamato warriors" in your mouth?
Seeing that the Japanese wanted to commit murder against His Royal Highness, behind Zhu Su, the elites of the Ming army who accompanied him had already raised their firearms, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Japanese warriors in front of him, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. Seeing that Prince Huailiang still wanted to draw his sword, Fujiwara said loudly: "It is the will of His Majesty the Emperor to invite reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom, Prince Huailiang, are you going to usurp!" ”
Huai Liang was startled, a tangled look appeared on his face, and after a while, he put the half-drawn sword into the scabbard. Although he did deliberately provoke, his original intention was to provoke the people of the Ming Kingdom to act first, so that he could justifiably let his subordinates kill them here, so that Emperor Changqing could not help him.
But the prince of the Ming Kingdom in front of him was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was not provoked at all, but had a mocking face, and he was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
Moreover, the "iron rods" held by those Ming soldiers in their hands, although they didn't look sharp, they didn't know why, and the cold hairs on their backs stood on end.
All in all, you can't do it yourself here.
“…… Hmph, let's go! Huai Liang put the knife into the sheath, glared at Fujiwara fiercely, and simply took his own people and left the place directly. As soon as he left, there were a large number of people in a dock hulala. Zhu Suyuan thought that these would-be people were here to greet him, but now that he thinks about it, most of these guys are not good, so he wants to provoke himself and block all these Ming visitors on the dock to ambush him.
"Your Highness...... It's the villain's poor reception......" seems to have just realized Huailiang's sinister intentions, and Fujiwara has already shed a cold sweat at this time. He urged Zhu Su and said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, Your Highness also invites you to come with the villain and go to a safe place to talk again." ”
"Hmm." Zhu Su nodded, and then left 4,500 Ming troops with Mu Ying to guard the fleet, and he entered the city with 500 people. In order not to frighten the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Su felt that five hundred people entering the city was enough to be few. But even so, these 500 people are still a great army in the eyes of the Japanese people, along the way, there are constantly civilians kneeling down from afar to greet their pair of "daimyo masters", and the samurai on the road also showed a frightened and vigilant gaze when they saw these people.
"By the way, what about Mr. Gao?" Zhu Su suddenly remembered something. As far as he knew, Gao Qi was in the "Yoshino" city in front of him at this time. In this case, according to his understanding, Gao Qi should greet his arrival on the dock no matter what.
"Tall man...... The tall man's body is a little uncomfortable...... "Fujiwara's face is a little strange. "Your Highness, don't worry, the villain is now going to lead His Highness to Gao Xian's mansion."
Zhu Su was still on guard, was there anything strange about this Fujiwara, but after entering the city, he really led himself to a mansion with a "Gaofu" plaque. This mansion is different from other mansions, it obviously has a strong style of Su Song's courtyard, in this kind of place, only Gao Qi can make a house like this, and the suspicion in Zhu Su's heart is suddenly half gone.
When he entered the mansion and saw Gao Qi, the remaining half of Zhu Su's suspicions instantly turned into anger: I saw Gao Qi lying on the bed, his face was as white as paper, and he looked like he was dying. Seeing Zhu Su, he struggled to greet him, and his face was joyful without hypocrisy: "Your Highness, cough cough, Your Highness, you can be regarded as here!" ”
"Grass people, grass people, meet His Royal Highness King Wu of the old country......"
"Mr. Gao!" Zhu Su quickly stepped forward and supported Gao Qi who got up to greet him with Mu Ying. Only then did he discover that Gao Qi's body was faintly revealing blood. The room also smelled of soup and blood, and suddenly looked at Fujiwara with murderous eyes: "Fujiwara, Mr. Gao is like this, what's going on?" ”
When Gao Qi and Yao Guangxiao were sent to the Japanese kingdom before, he had entrusted Fujiwara, the landlord, to ensure the safety of these two Ming talents. Unexpectedly, when we met today, Gao Qi was seriously injured. Could it be that this Fujiwara has renegade again?
"Your Highness, don't blame Fujiwara. The cause and effect, I should tell His Highness directly. Gao Qi stopped Zhu Su and saved the trembling Fujiwara, and then told Zhu Su about his experience in 1510.
It turned out that after landing in the Wa Kingdom a few years ago and separating from Yao Guangxiao, Gao Qi followed the plan discussed with Zhu Su before, and approached the Emperor Changqing of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom as a talented son of the Ming State as Fujiwara's minister.
Although the Japanese people were unruly, they have always admired Chinese culture. Since the Battle of Baijiangkou a hundred years ago, after being violently beaten by the Tang Dynasty, he has worshiped the Tang culture as a god.
Therefore, it was quickly sought after in the Wa Kingdom, and became a famous "courtesan" in the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, and was valued by the emperor and regarded as a staff member.
At the same time, thanks to Fujiwara's efforts, the Zhu Su version of "The Origin of the Wa Kingdom" was also widely disseminated in the Wa Kingdom through Gao Qi's influence. At the beginning, there were many people of insight in the Wa Kingdom who refuted this statement. But for some reason, they rummaged through the literature of the Japanese Kingdom, and the more they searched, they found that their ancestors, the Japanese people, really had an inseparable relationship with China.
Xu Fu, a scholar of the Qin Dynasty, how do you look like the "Emperor Shenwu" of his own country.
And the ancestors of these people, thinking about it, it is really possible that they are those boys and girls brought by Xu Fu!
Zhu Su didn't expect that he was just talking nonsense at first, but after Gao Qi's perfection and the Japanese people themselves contributed to this pro-Ming "origin theory", this doctrine really took root in the Japanese country and became more and more unbreakable. Coupled with Fujiwara's hype of the prosperity of the Celestial Empire, more and more nobles joined the "Pro-Ming faction", eager to return to their ancestral homeland, to be a noble "Tang people", and no longer to be a barbarian in a frontier land. As a result, Fujiwara's power in the Southern Dynasty grew stronger and stronger, and he became one of the most important rulers of the Southern Dynasty.
However, it doesn't do much. Because among the Southern Dynasties, there was another force that held military power, the "Huailiang faction". Moreover, from the perspective of the Japanese state as a whole, the situation of the Southern Dynasties has long been declining.
On the contrary, the Northern Dynasty, which was controlled by the shogun Ashikaga clan, was thriving. Moreover, there were not many people in the Northern Dynasties who believed in this so-called "origin theory".
