Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 654, Summoning Japanese Warriors
In Kyoto, where the King of Wa was located, in the humble Imperial Palace of the King of Wa, Emperor Gobashihara was summoning Tong Yuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to the Kingdom of Wa.

Tong Yuan was originally the magistrate of Yinshan County, and the court was too lazy to send people, so he simply accepted Tong Yuan as the envoy stationed in the Wa Kingdom, and had full authority to handle all matters related to Ming Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom.

No, a few days ago, he received an imperial decree from the Son of Heaven, asking him to come and read the will of the Son of Heaven to Wa Kingdom in person.

"My minister Dongfang Shengren welcomes the emperor's order~"

Emperor Gobashihara Kentong took out a bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and knelt down respectfully.

Well, in the past, it was not necessary to kneel down, but according to the agreement signed at the end of last year by the Daming vassal state, the nominal monarch of the Wa Kingdom is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the King of Wa is also a subject of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so kneeling and worship must also be performed on major events .

"Following the Emperor Chengyun's edict, the Wa Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the world is blessed by heaven... the natives of Lusong, Nanyang, were barbarians, ignorant of education and etiquette, and repeatedly violated our Ming Dynasty. It is tolerable."

"Now, [-] Japanese warriors are specially recruited from the Japanese country, and they will go south to Nanyang to destroy the natives and protect my Ming Dynasty!"

Tong Yuan's voice was very resonant, when the natives rebelled, his voice seemed to be filled with thunderous anger, the majestic power of heaven was as powerful as an abyss like a prison.

"My minister Dongfang Shengren accepts the order~"

After listening to Tong Yuan's recitation of the imperial decree, Dongfang Shengren quickly responded respectfully, and at the same time, he was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, Daming is more orthodox here.

Although the shogunate has the final say in Wa Kingdom now, he is a nameless emperor with no real power in his hands, and the daimyo who secretly support him are far away.

But Daming regards him as a representative of the Wa Kingdom, and the edict of enlistment was sent to him, not to the shogun.

With this imperial decree in his hand, he can really order the Wa country up and down, even if it is the shogunate, it has to listen to his own words, because he can pretend to be powerful.

You don't have to listen to your own words, but do you dare not listen to the words of the Son of Heaven?
"Master Tong, Xiao Wang has prepared a banquet, and please give me a treat~"

Dongfang Shengren took the imperial edict, and said to Tong Yuan with a smile on his face.

"That's unnecessary, I have to rush back."

"Just get this matter done as soon as possible on your side. Before February [-]th, these five thousand warriors must gather in Yinshan County, and our Daming side will train them."

Have a meal?

It's right to drink porridge.

It's not that Tong Yuan doesn't know that you are so poor that you can hardly afford porridge, so you still eat here.

Slip away, slip away, it's better to go to the shogunate if you have this skill, it's very close anyway, the reception at the shogunate must be much better than yours.

"Yes, Xiao Wang understands~"

"Wo Kingdom must complete it on time, and will never fail the entrustment of the Son of Heaven."

Dongfang Shengren replied respectfully.

"That's good, I'll take my leave~"

Tong Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Dongfang Shengren's humble palace, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

This Japanese king is really a failure. He has no power and no money, and he can't even pay for the burial of Emperor Goto Mimon. It is really a coward.

But when you think about it carefully, it seems to be very remarkable that it can be passed down forever for more than two thousand years.

After all, in the land of China, dynasties change very frequently. The history of a dynasty is only 300 years, but how long they can pass on.

Without thinking too much, Tong Yuan also left Kyoto and returned to Yinshan County.

Yinshan County has a lot of work this year. The most important thing is to mine silver mines. At the same time, spring is about to begin. Many commercial banks will organize fleets to go to Gold Island. These are all things he has to be busy with.

Especially the Iwami Silver Mine in Yinshan County, this is definitely a big deal.

Yinshan County was just occupied last year, and everything has just begun. The main thing is to build roads, find out the reserves and location, etc., so last year's output was not enough, not even tens of millions of taels of silver.

But this year, the preparatory work has been completed, and the next step is to mine large-scale silver mines.

He is very clear that the major shareholder behind this silver mine in Yinshan County is the current emperor, as well as the military general Xungui Group and his benefactor Liu Jin.

It doesn't matter how well other things are done. If this thing is done well and the silver mines in Yinshan County are guaranteed, he will be promoted, and he can be transferred back to Daming at that time.

"Immediately send an order to the shogun."

As soon as Tong Yuan walked away, Dongfang Shengren danced happily. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, and it seemed to be a very good feeling to pretend to be a tiger.

Of course, he is also very clear that this is actually Daming's balancing act. Wa country must maintain the confrontational relationship between the shogunate and the local daimyo.

Daming also had many spies on the side of the Wa Kingdom, and he knew very clearly that there are many daimyos secretly loyal to the Wa King, and they want to use the Wa King as a banner to push the shogunate to rule.

But the shogunate is also considered to be deeply rooted, and its rule in the Guanzhong area is very firm. At the same time, because of the conquest of the Great Ming Army last year, the powerful daimyos in various places have been hit hard.

So the two have always maintained a delicate balance, and no one dares to mess with each other, because in Yinshan County and Hyogo Tsu, the Ming Dynasty has garrisons, always deterring the Wa country.

Now it is because the shogunate is relatively strong, so Daming will give him some support. A chaotic and confrontational Wa country is in the interests of Daming.

In fact, there is no need for Dongfang Shengren to send someone to inform the shogunate. When Tong Yuan and his party came to Kyoto, the shogunate already knew about it, so they were also very clear about what happened in the Wawang Palace.

Yin Shizhongzhen, a powerful minister of the shogunate, also rushed to discuss with the Japanese king about the conscription of Ming Dynasty.

According to the Daming vassal state agreement signed with Daming, Daming is the monarch of all vassal states, and has the right to recruit people from the vassal states to fight for the Son of Ming.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in recruiting soldiers from the Wa country.

"Yin Shizhongzhen, what do you think of this matter?"

Dongfang Shengren handed over the imperial decree to Yin Shizhongzhen, he knew that this person was the real boss of the shogunate, and the general of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshisumi was just like himself, a puppet with no real power in his hands.

"This is a good thing~"

"This can be seen as a test of Ming Dynasty for our vassal states. With the military strength of Ming Dynasty, the natives on the mere Luzon Island are not enough to cause trouble."

"I guess this time, Daming will not only recruit warriors from our Wa country, but also warriors from North Korea and Luzon."

Yin Shizhongzhen pondered slightly and said.

"Hmm~"

Dongfang Shengren nodded solemnly, then looked at Yin Shizhongzhen and said, "This can actually be regarded as the beginning of our Japanese overseas expansion."

"As long as we can perform well this time, Daming will rely more on us in the future."

"The world is huge, and there are many vast lands. Daming is also developing rapidly."

"The last time I went to Daming, it is said that Daming has a grand expansion plan. The plan is to go from east to west on land and prepare to go to Europe."

"At the same time, on the ocean, it will also move westward from the Southeast Asia, expanding to the South Asian subcontinent, the Middle East and Africa."

"This time, as long as our Japanese warriors perform well, we will have the opportunity to follow Daming to fight in all directions in the future. As long as we make meritorious service, Da Ming will reward us with a piece of land casually, which will be enough for our Wa country to benefit from."

Dongfang Shengren said a little excitedly, in this matter, he is very smart, and he has always stood on the overall interests of the Japanese country.

"What Your Majesty said is true~"

Yin Shi Zhongzhen is also very aware of this point. Looking at Dongfang Shengren, he looks a bit like a wise king. It is obviously impossible to make himself loyal just by talking about it.

In fact, Yin Shizhongzhen also understands very well that the Wa country is now at a historical crossroads. If the Wa country can be unified very quickly and quickly integrate its own strength.

Then in this turbulent era, the Wa country must be able to make a big difference.

Not to mention competing with Ming, at least it is possible to follow closely behind Ming, establish colonies all over the world, and seize more and more extensive land.

But this is obviously impossible.

Not only would he not agree, but he had finally taken control of the shogunate, turned the shogun into a puppet, and became Cao Cao himself. Naturally, he wanted to replace him, not to benefit Dongfang Shengren in front of him.

What's more, Daming would not allow it.

Now he can see clearly what Daming meant.

The Japanese side must maintain the current state. The shogunate and the daimyos from all over the world are facing each other, and they are evenly matched.

Once one side intends to unify Japan, Daming will inevitably intervene. Last year, the sale of weapons and equipment to the shogunate was not to balance the strength between the shogunate and the daimyos.

"Yin Shizhongzhen, this is a magnificent era, an unprecedented era. Whether our country can seize the opportunity in this era is related to our country for generations to come."

Dongfang Shengren looked at Yin Shizhongzhen, thought for a while and said, obviously there was something in the words, and the meaning was obvious.

If you, Yin Shizhongzhen, can have an effect on me, then I can immediately unify the country of Wa. After integrating the power of the country of Wa, the country of Wa can concentrate its power to expand abroad and lead the country of Wa to a glorious future.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a magnificent era!"

"But this is a great era led by Ming Dynasty, and the future world will also be the world of Ming Dynasty, and we can only do things according to the will of the Son of Ming Dynasty."

Yin Shizhongzhen is a smart person, how can he not understand, he thought for a while and replied, meaning that what you say in the Wa country does not count, and the Son of Heaven has the final say.

　New year, new battle~ Who will be the first to clean up?
