Wanli Xinming

Chapter 293
On October 12th in the [-]th year of Wanli, after the Shimadzu family had completely stabilized Kyushu, Ling Yunyi led his army across the Xiaguan waterway and entered Honshu.Yoshihisa Shimadzu has already written a letter, secretly sending a ship directly to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and please confer the title of Lord of Satsuma—this is the ultimate goal of Ling Yunyi's troubles in Kyushu.

In the temple calculation of the Japanese strategy chaired by Zhu Yijun, keeping Japan in a state of division is the lowest goal.Ling Yunyi's first stop was in Kyushu, and he pretended to be unfamiliar with the major forces in Japan.

The original sin of the great friend Zonglin was not that his younger brother had been the puppet head of the Ouchi family. If Ling Yunyi chose him to be the top, there would be another reason to crusade against Shimadzu - his family's samurai and ronin participated in the Japanese pirates to harass the south of Daming, which is a ready-made sin.

The Otomo family actually died on the belief of Otomo Zonglin.Zhu Yijun recalled that the main reason for the success of the Meiji Restoration in Japan in the original time and space was that the "Eastern Graduation of Lan Xue" gave birth to some powerful westernized vassals - Satsuma was the main force behind the fall.The reason why these westernized powerful vassals can grow up is due to the great friend Zonglin's contribution to the promotion of Christianity in Kyushu.Therefore, it was inevitable that Ling Yunyi would attack Japan in the first step to take Dayou Zonglin's operation.

In fact, among the four great vassals whose original time and space had collapsed, Choshu was the territory of the Maori clan, Tosa was the territory of the Nagazune family of Shikoku Island, and Satsuma and Hizen were both in Kyushu.All four are located in the southwest of Japan, and it took hundreds of years to incubate the fruits of the Meiji Restoration - Satsuma is the core of them.

Therefore, the promotion of Shimadzu as the lord, and the Japanese lord of Honshu as a Chinese vassal, is of course the first choice of Ling Yunyi.In order to maintain its independent status, the future Satsuma must rely on the Ming Dynasty to compete with the state.

However, how the imperial court decides will depend on the development of Ling Yunyi's strategy in Japan. Now Ling Yunyi is only completing the first small goal.

Because Shimazu Yoshihiro wanted to sit in the main house and no longer followed Ling Yunyi's army, he sent Shimazu Yoshihiro to follow Ling Yunyi.At the same time, the Shimadzu family also sent a large number of retainers who were familiar with Sinology to act as guides and translators for the army.

After the army passed Shimonoseki, the first person to enter was Nagato, the Maori territory that joined forces with the Otomo family under Tachibana Castle.Although Takashi Kobayakawa ran early in the battle of Tachibana Mountain City, he was bitten off by the Shimadzu family and [-] soldiers and horses were bitten off by the Maori family.

After Mori Terumoto returned from Kyoto, the details of the battle at Tachibana Castle were known to the world.At this time, in addition to the issue of "Debating the Ming Dynasty," Hideyoshi Yuchai's family was still stalking his neck, and the other martial artists were shocked by the exaggerated fighting power of the Ming army. Like a quail, they turned a blind eye to the command of the alliance leader. "It has become a laughing stock.

The reason why this effect can occur is that in addition to the fact that the Ming army's reputation in the first battle of Tachibana City has spread throughout Japan, Ling Yunyi's announcement to the world that the intention to be an ambassador also accounted for a considerable proportion.The Ming army also showed its attitude in action before - they did not annihilate the troop transport of Changzong's family in the Bungo waterway, which fully shows that Ling Yunyi came here and did not intend to occupy the country and seize land.

What is even more convincing is that after the crusade against the great friend Zonglin, Ling Yunyi slapped his butt and left without leaving a cloud except for himself.All the famous names in Japan now understand, this guy is here to promote the prestige of the country - which is also in line with the characteristics of China's upper country who want face and money to suffer.

If Japan had a unified shogunate at this time, of course, Ling Yunyi could not be allowed to pretend to be 13 smoothly.However, the change of Honnoji Temple was crossed by Zhu Yijun, and Yuchai Hideyoshi's process of unifying Japan was interrupted.

The Shimadzu family made a successful bet, making other famous names envied, and at the same time, they also had some thoughts of taking pictures of cats and tigers-since Ling Yunyi can be bought, why don't you spend some money yourself?Expensive is a bit more expensive, but compared to the benefits, what is that little bit of gold.

So before Ling Yunyi left Satsuma, a number of big names had already contacted the Imperial Commissioner of Daming through Shimadzu.Ling Yunyi always took the time to meet and accept all the gifts - anyway, after he returned to the court, he had to give gifts from top to bottom.

As for the Maori family, under the strong insistence of Yoshikawa Yuanchun, Maori Huiyuan came to visit in person on the first day Ling Yunyi entered Shimonoseki, and apologized for sending troops to help the great friend Zonglin.

According to Zhu Yijun's plan, Ling Yunyi had no interest in helping Yuchai Hideyoshi to fight other daimyo.Therefore, he restrained his sharpness, and only lightly knocked on the Maori family, and then gently exposed the matter of joining forces with his great friend Zonglin-Maoli Huiyuan was overjoyed, and almost flattered Ling Yunyi to the clouds.

Because there is the famous Chuanpeng Hot Spring at the foot of Liancheng Mountain, a ghost in Xiaguan City, the Maori family built a large manor there.After Ling Yunyi accepted a large sum of money and gifts, he was begged by Moli Huiyuan to stay here.

After the banquet and singing, the imperial envoy of course wanted to experience the hot spring bath.Maoli Huiyuan brought a group of beauties to personally flatter him. After Ling Yunyi went into the water, Maoli Huiyuan fell to the ground by the pool and wept again: "Uncle Kobayakawa Takashi doesn't know the adult Huwei, and he offended the imperial commissioner. His crime is not light. —”

While soaking in the hot spring pool, Ling Yunyi was interrupted by two beauties who were taking a bath.

After Maoli Huiyuan kowtowed and thanked him, Ling Yunyi said with a smile: "Besides, what's the use of the head of Xiaobayakawa? The emperor doesn't know that there is such a person in Japan.

These few words, which are well-versed in officialdom, really made Maoli Huiyuan feel relaxed and comfortable to call out.After he thanked him again, Ling Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Just get up. You are lying there naked with weird eyes." Maoli Huiyuan laughed, slid into the pool according to the words, and let his wife Nan Zhifang Peel the grapes for Ling Yunyi himself.

Nanzhifang is the eldest daughter of the Maori family's Five Dragon City Lord Shido Takashi's family. Although she is young and beautiful, Ling Yunyi is not interested in married women.Moreover, although Nan Zhifang was waiting by the hot spring pool, he was wearing clothes and did not go into the water. Instead, Ling Yunyi, who was only surrounded by a cotton towel, felt uncomfortable.

Originally wanted to let Maoli Huiyuan send Nanzhifang out, but he was unable to persist due to Maoli Huiyuan's eager plea, and Commander Ling had to suffer.Mouri Terumoto explained to him: "In my country's tradition, when the shogunate lived and bathed, the wife of the daimyo had to wait on shifts; when the daimyo lived, the wife of the retainer did the same, all expressing the meaning of obedience. The adults don't need to feel uncomfortable. It’s fine to follow the local customs. Of course, it’s not okay for a superior to ask his subordinate’s wife to serve in bed.”

Ling Yunyi understood this shameless custom, and immediately changed the subject: "There is one thing for you to do."

Maoli Huiyuan listened to the imperial commissioner's order, and immediately refreshed his spirit, expressing that he would go through fire and water.Ling Yunyi said: "The Sanyin area, the territory of the Maori family, is also called 'China' in Japan. This can be used indiscriminately? It is disrespectful to Daming, and it must be changed immediately. It should no longer be called that in the document."

When Mauri Huiyuan heard that it was such a small matter, he was relieved and at the same time felt lost, and agreed.Ling Yunyi smiled and said, "I said Shimadzu before, how dare you call a small island Kyushu? The tone is too loud, and Kyushu Island will always be called Satsuma from now on."

Mori Terumoto said that what you are concerned about is trivial. No wonder it was played around by Shimadzu, and it was used as a knife to destroy Otomo's house.Seeing that Ling Yunyi had already exposed the sins of the Maori family, his mind was itching again, and he couldn't help provoking:

"Your Excellency the imperial envoy, now the world's martial arts family, only the Yuchai family has not expressed their obedience. I don't know how you want to impose a harsh punishment? The Maori family is willing to attach their tails."

Ling Yunyi closed his eyes slightly, thought quietly for a while, and said: "Because of your family's lord's worship, I heard that Yuchai's family has stopped worshipping the imperial court in Kyoto, and it is clear that he is not a minister. This commander wants to set things right. , I must teach Yuchai Hideyoshi some lessons."

As soon as Mao Li Huiyuan heard that there was a door, his breathing became heavy, and he said quickly: "The Mao Li family has received the national grace, and it is ashamed to receive a territory of 120 million stones. I am willing to send troops to assist you in conquering Hashiba Hideyoshi!"

Ling Yunyi first nodded in approval, but turned around and said, "Before, the imperial edict was written too quickly, and it only said that the chaos needs to be put in order, but it is difficult to think about it! There is only an empty shell, which is not as good as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

"But if we want to cut the branches and strengthen the army, the political system of this country has to be changed. First, we must cut down the vassal, and then the prefectures and counties-the Maori family can stand this?"

When Mao Lihuiyuan heard it, he lost more than half of the three souls and seven thins, and said quickly: "It can't be done, it can't be done! This is an earth-shaking change, and it's not an urgent matter!"

Ling Yunyi sighed and said, "But this imperial envoy's cowhide has already been blown out, but this is difficult to do. You can't station troops in Japan for a long time to protect your family's authority over the country's lord."

When Mao Li Huiyuan heard this, his eyes lit up.In line with the mentality that his family can't go to Luo and let the "monkey" take advantage, he immediately slammed: "Why not? The Maori family is willing to contact the world's martial arts family to support Daming's garrison in Kyoto, and please think deeply!"

"If the authority of the lord of the country is not established, the imperial emissary of the upper country will raise his arm and the world will discuss it together. In this way, we can have the best of both worlds. Not only can the existing political system be maintained, but the world will be peaceful, and the people of Japan will be lucky!"

Ling Yunyi still shook his head and said, "No! Before coming to Japan, my emperor repeatedly warned that this is a 'non-conquering country' set by the Taizu. If the army is stationed in Japan for a long time, how is it different from occupation! Besides——"

Before he could finish speaking, Maoli Huiyuan plunged into the water, and a fierce man plunged into the pool with his whole body.Ling Yunyi felt very strange and stopped.

Mao Li Huiyuan in the hot spring realized that something was wrong, and got out of the pool again, with a wet face and apologetic: "I was too excited just now." He climbed to the wooden floor by the pool, knelt down firmly, leaned over and said: " Lord, please listen to Huiyuan!"

Ling Yunyi motioned to him and said that Maoli Huiyuan made a generous statement: "Daming's garrison in Japan is not the same as occupying it! The husband needs to set up a governor, dispatch officials, depose the lord, etc., and put the people of our country. Become the people of China—does Daming want to do these?"

Ling Yunyi shook his head.Maoli Huiyuan said excitedly: "That's right! If Daming's imperial garrison is just to defend the country's lord and has nothing to do with the state's affairs, what can't it do! I think the emperor, no, after the emperor's worship, if he can keep the adults to stay. He is also willing to pay any price in Kyoto's defense!"

After hearing this, Ling Yunyi seemed to have suddenly realized something, and sat there meditating.Mori Terumoto's heart was beating wildly, eagerly expecting him to make a decision that would allow the Mori family to control the 120 million stone territory for generations to come.Ling Yunyi thought for a while and said: "This time the army came to Japan, and the expense is expensive, the military expenditure alone is more than 100 million. If the army is stationed for a long time, the emperor will not agree."

Mao Li Huiyuan saw that Ling Yunyi actually started to think about the issue of military expenses, and he was overjoyed, and tried his best to say: "Why do you need to go to the country for the cost of garrisoning the army! If Japan can't afford to fight, each family can take the small half of the current cost of raising the army, which is enough. It will raise tens of thousands of the army of the upper country!"

Seeing that Ling Yunyi was still hesitant, Mao Li Huiyuan slammed his head on the ground: "Sir, please make a decision! The Maori family is willing to contact the lord of the country and the various martial families to make every effort to facilitate this matter. Please bring your troops to Luo!"
