Chapter 527: You big names are just village chiefs
Just when Blue Jade broke through the three cities in two days, the south of Heiankyo, Sakai Port.
"Your Highness, in the shogunate of the Northern Dynasty, although there is a monk Daoyan to help mediate, it seems to me that we still have to make some preparations." In the Yamen of the Sakai Port Concession, which has begun to take shape, Gao Qi said to Zhu Su.
"After the Huailiang coup d'Γ©tat and the fire of the imperial palace, the power of the Southern Dynasty declined greatly, and many daimyo who were attached to the Southern Dynasty surrendered to the Northern Shogunate."
"The rest of the people must also be panicked, if the shogunate abandons the blue jade general and attacks us first, we may not be able to resist. You can't let me wait for these 5,000 people to stand in the way for those widows, right? β
"It's better to assist Fujiwara first, correct the hearts of the people, and gather a usable army composed of Japanese people, so as to have an emergency."
"Sir, if you suddenly have this intention, could it be that the act of 'recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors' has already achieved results?" Zhu Su asked curiously.
Gao Qi is a standard literati, and he has always distrusted those reckless Japanese people. There must have been a reason why he would suddenly suggest that he should co-opt those Japanese people to form an army.
"Hehe, Your Highness." Gao Qiyan said with a smile. "It's really thin."
"Today, there are thirteen great names of the Wa Kingdom, who are willing to respect my Huaxia as their ancestors, and they have all sacrificed to heaven and earth, and with the assistance of their ministers, they have compiled a family tree."
"They have taken the initiative to burn the costumes of the Japanese people, take the initiative to tie their hair and the right side, and wear the clothes of our Heavenly Dynasty."
"These people, I think, although there are still people at both ends of the first rat, can still be relied on a little."
"There are already thirteen?" Zhu Su was a little surprised. In his opinion, the samurai daimyo of the shogunate were more die-hard hards than the minister's family.
Gao Qi and Fujiwara went to Japan for a long time and won over many ministers, but very few samurai daimyo were willing to defect to them. On the one hand, the contradiction between the samurai and the minister itself is profound, the secretary thinks that the samurai is vulgar and infamous, and the samurai feels that the minister has no one in his eyes.
On the other hand, it is also because the education of the samurai is old-fashioned and difficult to convince. That is, after the Ming army has shown its strength and established the "Yingzhou Xuanwei Division", there are Japanese warriors who take the initiative to "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors" and "serve China".
After all, now anyone with a discerning eye can see which one has a greater future, working for the "Houguishan Wa King" or serving for the "Ming Yingzhou Xuanfu Division".
"In that case, let's gather these daimyo and samurai." Zhu Su stood up. "It has been a few days since the decree of the state approving the establishment of the Propaganda Department has been coming. Although this king temporarily led the envoy of Yingzhou Xuanwei, he was still a bare-pole commander, and the Xuanwei Division was just an empty shell. β
"It's also time to reward meritorious deeds, select talents to enrich the Yamen of the Propaganda Division, and do a great job."
Due to the strong support of the Fujiwara family, Zhu Su is now a man of his word in the Southern Dynasty. With his summoning, the nobles and daimyo of the Southern Dynasty did not dare to disobey, and they all came to the Sakai Port Concession in time to go to the meeting of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the first time that this group of Japanese people has entered Sakai Port, and looking at this originally deserted place, now it has become thriving in the hands of these Ming troops: three cement walls have risen from the ground, and the black tiger squat cannons on the city wall have drained the water of this port defense that was originally unsafe to defend; Countless box-like concrete houses are dotted around, and they look extremely sturdy; The huge port docked with "giant ships" from the Ming Dynasty, warehouses larger than imagination and neat Ming troops gave this group of dwarf Japanese people a "Ming shock" that they had never experienced.
This is no longer the Yamato country, it has become the Ming kingdom! If the kingdom is magical, it is no wonder that the 10,000 people of the Nanmu family were thrown in, but they didn't even splash a splash.
On the stairs of the Yamen of the Sakai Port Concession, there are Zhu Su, the fifth son of His Majesty the Ming Emperor and King of Wu, and the new generation of Wa Kings of the Wa Nu Kingdom who was given the title by the Ming Emperor, and the Wa King of Hou Guishan. Gokameyama was a short, middle-aged man who was suppressed by Emperor Chokei in his early years, so he developed a cautious temperament.
The look of this king was extremely flattering. Coupled with his unremarkable face and short height, although the Japanese people have always been taught that "the emperor is the god of the world", this newly appointed god is compared with the five princes of the Ming Dynasty who are handsome and handsome next to him, giving people the feeling that there are only four words "unsightly".
The layer of filter that the Japanese have on the emperor's family is easily shattered.
Another day, this Yamato country will not all become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, right?
Some of the wise men among the Japanese people are quite uncontrollably thinking like this.
"I invite you to come here today to let you witness the establishment of the 'Yingzhou Xuanwei Division' Yamen of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Su stood up, looked down at the many Japanese nobles below, and then unfolded the holy decree of Lao Zhu from the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the daimyo and nobles among these Japanese people were fluent in Chinese, so they didn't have to bother translating it. After Zhu Su read out the holy decree, he said to the many widows below: "According to the holy order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this king is now temporarily taking the position of the first commander of the Yingzhou Xuanwei Division. β
"The reason why the Xuanwei Division was established is because my great son of heaven discovered that there are many remnants left by my ancestors in the land of the Japanese Kingdom."
"My Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and there is no reason to ignore the remnants of the people who have been exiled overseas. Therefore, the establishment of the Propaganda Division, the establishment of the concession, with the power of my Ming Dynasty, for the remnants of my Ming Dynasty to be the master. β
"Among you, if there is anyone whose ancestors are the remnants of my Chinese people, you can come forward, and I will register you and others by the Xuanhui Division. After the book is made, it will be my people of the Ming Dynasty. β
"In the future, your life and property will be safe, and you will be protected by me. Although it is overseas, it can also inherit the Ze of the Ming Emperor! β
Gao Qi and Fujiwara took the lead in chanting, leading a group of Japanese people to shout long live in the direction of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Zhu Su came forward to give official rewards to these Japanese who were willing to admit that they were Chinese relics, and many of them received the titles of 100 households, 1,000 households, and even commanders.
As for Fujiwara, he was awarded the title of commander of the Ming Yingzhou Xuanfu Division, commanded many foreign remnants, and assisted the Wa King in remanaging the affairs of the court.
Seeing the head of the Fujiwara family wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, his face trembled with excitement, and there was a daimyo who had not yet been naturalized and just came to watch the ceremony, and couldn't help but ask: "What is the official position of this commander?" Why is Fujiwara-sama so excited? β
"He's a person who doesn't even push Guan Bai properly! Could it be that this official position of the Ming Dynasty is even more rare than Guan Bai? β
"What about Guan Bai? The whole of our country is not right, Yingzhou, is only a province of the Ming Dynasty. The answer was a daimyo dressed in Han robes. This person seems to be a "great Mingtong", and what he says with one mouth is called a head is the Tao. "In this way, the so-called Guan Bai is just a state government official in Daming, and there are many in Daming, which is not worth mentioning."
"But it's not the same as the commander, this is a military attache with real power, and there is only one commander in several guards, and it is more than the shogun's jurisdiction, how can Fujiwara-sama not like it?"
"If you do it well, you may still be able to be a prince and a marquis in the future! That's the real Ming noble! β
"O nobles of the Celestial Empire." These words made many people leisurely fascinated. I have heard that the Celestial Empire is prosperous, and the nobles of the Celestial Empire are even more noble, so they dare not imagine it. At this time, someone asked: "According to this calculation, what kind of official position are we, the city lords, in the Celestial Empire?" β
"To be able to have a city dwelling, how to say, it should also be a "fourth-grade" or "fifth-grade" official, right? β
"Officials? Oh, how could it be! The minister of Da Mingtong said disdainfully. As far as those cities in our Wa Kingdom are concerned, in Daming, the population is not even comparable to that of a village. β
"You city lords, the big names, Dingtian is also a village head, just a headcatcher."
