Because of the competition for the candidate to visit the Ming Dynasty, a scuffle broke out between the old and new capitals of Japan.

Mountain mage, temple mage, and Nara mage have a big scuffle!

Probably from the tradition of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, Japanese envoys to China generally had to select monks to participate, and the monks often served as nominal envoys.

Now, it doesn't matter which monk should be the envoy, the emperor and the emperor say, and the dispute must be resolved by force.

The mountain master and the temple master are both from Mt. Hiei.

The relationship between the two can be understood as the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect. If you don't agree with each other, you will fight, and even fight in the streets of the capital.

The Nara mages are not far behind, their territory is in the old capital Nara, not only their own strength, but also the support of the Fujiwara clan.

All three factions own manor territory, and they are quite close to each other.

Whenever there was a dispute in the territory, the monks did not bother to debate the scriptures, and directly sent monks and soldiers to reason.

Emperor Shirakawa once sighed: "The water of the Kamo River (natural disaster), the dice of Double Six (fortune), and the mage (monk) of Mt. Hiei cannot follow my heart." ”

In the eyes of Emperor Shirakawa, those monks were as difficult to control as natural disasters and fortunes.

After a big scuffle in which 6 people were killed and 283 were wounded, the list of monks who visited Daming was finally released.

Monk Yuanxin (Master Temple) served as the chief envoy, and Zhaojue (Master Shan) and Liangran (Master Nara) accompanied the group.

The deputy envoy who is really in charge of the negotiations is Shikibu Quan Daisuke Oe Weishun.

This position is a bit similar to the temporary temporary servant of the Ming Dynasty.

His late father, named Oe Kuafu, was not only a great Confucian, poet, and singer, but also the last military strategist of the Heian period. He advocated that "The Art of War" should not be copied, and that we should proceed from the actual situation in Japan.

For example, Sun Tzu said that the use of soldiers is a miracle to win. And Oe Kuangfang said, don't talk about these things in Japan, just do a certain amount of advance and retreat, and then don't talk about etiquette and often just pass!

This Oe Kuangfang left many works.

There are historiography, literature, military, and fashion books of the Eight Classics, as well as miscellaneous books that record famous prostitutes, eminent monks, onmyoji, puppeteers, and monasticism. He even wrote a story about the nine-tailed fox turning into a beauty, and most of the images in front of Tamamo were born from this.

By the way, there is also a copy of "The Silver Tribute of Tsushima".

……

Iwami Kunijo.

Zhu Xiaozhong looked at Yuan Sheng, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "I caught many big armored warriors this time, and I asked them to tell what silver mines there are in Japan." One of them, surnamed Oe, said that there were silver mines on Tsushima Island, and he also said that he had read a book called "The Silver Record of Tsushima Tribute". What about the silver mines of Tsushima? ”

Yuan Sheng saw Zhu Xiaozhong's face unhappy: "How can Tsushima Island be Tsushima Country?" This book is scribbled. There are indeed silver mines on the island, but they have long been mined. In the past, when the silver mines were booming, there were even temples and monks on the island. These things were gone when I was a child. ”

Zhu Xiaozhong thought about it carefully and felt that Yuan Sheng was not lying, because this product was so poor.

However, in view of the prospecting and smelting technology of the Japanese pit father, Zhu Xiaozhong planned to let the prospecting master go to Tsushima Island to try it.

A month later, the silver mine was found on Tsushima Island, and it was in the old silver mine.

The reason why Yuansheng said that the mining was finished was purely due to the lack of smelting technology.

The soot blowing method has appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and Japan has also learned it. However, the Song Dynasty improved the soot blowing method many times, but the technology learned in Japan stagnated.

The prospector even found a lot of ore that could be used to smelt silver in the waste ore of Tsushima Island......

Tyrannical creatures!

In the first year of Zhu Xiaozhong's order to go to sea, he exceeded the task. He discovered not only Iwami Ginzan, but also Tsushima silver mines.

……

In ancient times, there were three routes between China and Japan, and the route suitable for going to sea from Japan in winter was to take the Ryukyu Islands to Fujian, China.

After the Japanese envoys arrived in Fujian in winter, they were unable to take the sea route due to headwinds. So under the arrangement of Fujian officials, they crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains to Zhejiang, and went north along the canal.

They were so anxious that when they got to the north, the rivers froze, and they even stepped on the snow to get to Kaifeng.

Yuan Xin, who defeated other monks and became a righteous envoy, said to Dajiang Weishun with great emotion: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon King, and when we rested in the Fujian temple, the monks there lamented that the government suppressed the Buddha and demolished the temple everywhere to confiscate the temple property. When I arrived in Kaifeng, there were no monks even in the rumored Taiping Xingguo Temple. ”

Dajiang Weishun said: "We don't care about the affairs of other countries. Will the mage be able to assist the Emperor in defeating the demon army of Iwami Province with supreme mana? ”

Yuanxin was silent for a moment.

Emperor Toba had also approached their three major mage legions in the region, and they were all concerned about him in the face of this thorny problem.

It is true that these monks have monks and soldiers, but they also work hard when grabbing territory, and occasionally bully the common people. Ping Zhongsheng's 30,000 troops were defeated, how dare the monks send monks and soldiers?

The Japanese envoys were allowed to roam around the city of Tokyo, accompanied by an official of Hongroji Temple (monitored) the whole time.

Dajiang Weishun, who has been familiar with the subset of Chinese scriptures and history since childhood, gradually developed an inferiority complex after wandering around the city, and said to the monk Yuanxin: "I was in a hurry all the way, and I didn't appreciate the cities along the way. Today's visit to Kaifeng, Fang knows that the book contains China's prosperity, and the text can not describe its what if. ”

The round monk nodded: "It is indeed rich." ”

Jiang Weishun, who is less than 1.4 meters tall, looked at the peddlers and pawns on the street, and sighed with emotion: "China is all long, and the advantages and disadvantages of this race." The two countries are at war, even if they don't use spells, the Ming people are big and wearing strong armor, and my big and warriors are not opponents. ”

Oe Weishun's father, after all, was the last military strategist in the Heian period, and he also left a military letter for the descendants of the clan.

As the second son of Oe Kuangfang, although Oe Weishun has never led troops, his basic military strategic vision is actually more than many armored samurai who lead troops to fight.

Along the way, he observed the prosperity of Chinese society, saw the soldiers stationed at the city gates, and finally simply observed the civilians of China. The conclusion reached is almost hopeless, and Japan is like an ant in the face of a powerful China.

A peddler carried a burden and walked in front of Dajiang Weishun.

"Hey!"

The peddler glanced curiously at the Japanese envoys, and then let out a strange laugh, presumably amused by the group of monkeys in silk clothes.

When Oe Weishun heard the laughter, he was angry in his heart and at the same time, he also had an inexplicable inferiority complex.

In the afternoon, when he returned to the Sifang Pavilion, Dajiang Weishun began to record what he had seen and heard today.

Writing and writing, there was a sudden idea: the Japanese nobles could choose to divide the family daughters and borrow seeds from the Tang people. The children born of the seed were allowed to marry by the head of each family, and the racial disadvantages of the Japanese aristocracy were gradually improved.

Even without intermarriage, the main family and the separated family directly marry close relatives, so that the borrowed good blood does not flow out.

A few days later, they were received by the Prince of Daming.

The palace guards are all the best, and they are unusually tall.

When Oe Wei walked past one of the guards, he found that he was only the height of the other's armpits, which strengthened his idea of borrowing.

……

"Iwami Silver Mountain has been found, and there should be no shortage of silver in the short term," Zhu Ming said, "When the first batch of silver is shipped back, we will increase the amount of silver dollars minted." The mint was running at full speed and was issued in large cities in all provinces of the country. Anyway, there are rich people who absorb hoarding, and there will be no inflation at all. ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "With silver as an endorsement, paper money can also be issued." ”

Zhu Ming smiled: "There are also silver mines on Tsushima Island, which is a little surprising to me. ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I plan to send a few civil officials over to manage Tsushima Island and Iwami Ginzan. There must have been contradictions between them and the local garrison for a long time, but this situation is irreconcilable. ”

Zhu Ming said: "If you are not afraid of civil and military contradictions, you are afraid of civil and military collusion to fool the court." Or it is one-sided, the civil officials completely suppress the military officials, and the military people completely suppress the civil officials, which can turn the imperial court into a blind man. Therefore, it is best for the civil and military to check and balance each other, even if they drag each other back, they can accept it. ”

"Indeed." Zhu Guoxiang nodded.

Zhu Ming said: "It has been steadily implemented in Gyeonggi, Hubei, Hunan and Hebei, and has achieved good results. Let's continue to promote it next year, and choose Sichuan and Henan. ”

Zhu Guoxiang muttered: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Zhu Ming smiled: "I won't fight next year, what are you afraid of?" If they are disobedient, they will be exiled to Youzhou with their whole family, which happens to be in urgent need of population. ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Henan criminals were exiled to Youzhou, but Sichuan criminals should be exiled to the south. Now in Sichuan, even Yibin is full of barbarians, which is really unusual. ”

"I originally planned to get Bai Chongyan back to be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and now I plan to let him be the Zuobu Governor of Henan," Zhu Ming said, "Give him two tasks." The first is to engage in the construction of acres in Henan, and the second is to make preparations for the relocation of the capital to Luoyang. ”

Zhu Guoxiang was surprised: "The capital is going to be moved so soon? ”

Zhu Ming said: "The Imperial City of Kaifeng is too small, and it is very congested everywhere. It is a waste that the imperial city of Luoyang is so big that it has been vacant. It's a bit of a diaphragm to live, and when Cai Jing's relatives repaired Luoyang Palace, they actually used human bone grinding to paint the palace walls. ”

Zhu Guoxiang's facial muscles twitched, and he said: "When I move the capital, I will retire when I want, anyway, I won't live in Luoyang Palace." ”

"Think beautifully." Zhu Ming firmly disagreed.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "This is not a discussion, and I will directly order the abdication when the time comes." ”

The father and son were for a while, and they "broke up unhappily".

Zhu Ming returned to the East Palace by car, and turned out the Heavenly King's armor for the first time, intending to scare and scare those Japanese envoys.

Dajiang Weishun and Yuanxin monks, with several main members, were guided into the East Palace by eunuchs.

The Prince of Daming was not in any hall, but stood under the corridor to shoot arrows.

The warm winter sun is shining, and the well-maintained Tianwang armor is shining golden in the sunlight.

At first sight, Dajiang Weichao was almost blinded.

Monk Yuanxin seemed to see the Bodhisattva King Kong, his legs were weak and he knelt directly on the ground, and shouted "Bodhisattva Prince" in his mouth.
