Ming Zuo

Chapter 1315

For Xia Guo, the mentality of Dongying people is very strange.

Both hate and fear, more yearning.

Especially when a brand new city rises from the ruins, the Dongying people can't help but bow down and completely admire it.

In the past, Osaka was extremely prosperous because it was located in the center of Japan and was also the hometown of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Even if the Tokugawa shogunate came to power later and the political center of Japan moved to Edo, Osaka was still the economic center of the country.

However, under the artillery fire of the Xia Kingdom Navy, the former Osaka was destroyed in the sea of ​​flames.

After the war, according to the agreement, Xia Guo undertook the reconstruction project of Osaka.

For this reason, the Tokugawa shogunate paid more than 370 million taels of silver.

This huge sum of money hurt the Tokugawa shogunate's muscles and vitality, and it had to step up its search from all over the country.As a result, the people in Dongying complained that life would be better than death, and countless families were destroyed.

But all of this disappeared after the new Osaka was built.

In order to build this city, Xia Guo adopted many new technologies.

In particular, the wide application of cement has made tall buildings a reality.Coupled with neat and bright glass windows, the building rises from the ground and shines brightly.

Since the entire city was rebuilt, scientific planning was carried out.

Seen from a height, the whole city is criss-crossed, horizontal and vertical, like a chessboard.

Everything seems to be in order.

Especially the roads in the city are built with a lot of cement.Not to mention flat and sturdy, it is also very spacious.

Even a carriage can run with confidence on such a road without worrying about bumps and tipping.

In this world, apart from Xia Kingdom, no other country has the ability to revitalize a city in such a short period of time.

The Dongying people saw the magnificence of New Osaka with their own eyes, and felt the powerful power of Xia Guo from their hearts.

It is an invincible force.

Dongying people bully the weak and admire the strong. When facing Xia Guo, their bodies become more and more humble.

In order to build this city, Xia Guo invested more than 20 workers.

These workers were very ordinary when they were in the country, but here, even compared with the small nobles in Japan, they are all amazing rich people.

While working, these workers spent money in Dongying, and quickly revitalized the business near Osaka.

Countless Dongying people relied on doing business with Xia Guo people and quickly became rich.

Even small stalls and hawkers have greatly increased their income, which made the original hatred for Xia Guo not so strong.

When the women in Dongying saw the Xia people, their eyes turned red, and they wanted to pounce on them directly.

And these gentlemen who are engaged in heavy labor in foreign countries need a place to enjoy and vent after making money.

They are not soldiers, and there is no military discipline.Go out to play after work, no one will care.

Because of this, Kabukicho here in Osaka has flourished rapidly.

There are at least tens of 10 geisha engaged in related industries, making this place the largest sex scene in Japan.

As a result, rumors were heard throughout Xia Kingdom, causing many people in the party to come to have fun and experience exotic customs.

No matter which Kabukicho, people from the Xia Kingdom are regarded as honored guests.

The women inside even tried their best to make a lot of money.

Moreover, in order to attract customers, many kabukichos are so ingenious that they went to learn the folk arts and culture of Middle Earth.

If a working geisha can't speak a few words of Chinese, it is impossible to do well in business.

After all, it was really disgusting for Xia people to look at the white and miserable grimaces of Dongying geisha.

The market decides to operate.

The original geisha culture in Dongying is not important at all, how to make money from customers is the first priority.

Various high-end and low-end commercial activities were carried out, which quickly revived Osaka and made it far more developed than before.

The population here soon exceeded 50, making it the largest city in Japan.

Seeing this, the Tokugawa shogunate was naturally moved.

It's a pity that Osaka is still under Xia Guo's control, and the Tokugawa shogunate has no way to profit from it.

They looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited until the day when Shin-Osaka was fully completed.

According to the agreement, after the construction of Osaka is completed, it will be handed over to Dongying for management.

The Tokugawa shogunate had long been gearing up, waiting to take over Osaka, and then relying on the city to restore its severely damaged strength.

"Osaka is a gift from the Chinese kingdom to Dongying. It belongs to all Dongying people and cannot be handed over to the shogunate alone."

For the control of Osaka, the foreign daimyo is also eyeing.

Everyone sees the value in it.

Everyone understands that as long as they control the city, their strength can grow rapidly.

Nowadays, the contradiction between the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo has reached the level of incompatibility.

The two sides have already begun to accumulate strength, waiting for the day when they will do it.

The completion of Osaka Castle seems to be a signal.

Let the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo show their fangs at the same time.

"The completion of Osaka is of great significance to Dongying. Leaders recognized by Dongying must attend and cut the ribbon in order to reveal the identity and status of Osaka."

Facing the imminent tension between the Tokugawa shogunate and foreign daimyo, Shen Tingyang decided to add fuel to the flames.

The recognized leader of the entire Japan...

Whether it is the Tokugawa shogunate or the foreign daimyo, they are a little confused.

Shouldn't the leader recognized by the entire Japan be the Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu?
However, Shen Tingyang's next words caused an uproar.

"If His Majesty can attend the inauguration ceremony in Osaka, it will surely reassure the people. From now on, they will live and work in peace and prosperity, and only then will they be recognized by the entire East Ocean and enhance the friendship between Xia Kingdom and East Ocean."

Shen Tingyang decided to pull Emperor Mingzheng out.

It is conceivable that this proposal immediately provoked strong opposition from the Tokugawa shogunate.

"The shogun is the one who decides the affairs of Japan, and the completion of Osaka Castle should be cut by the shogun."

Outwardly, Daming was very excited.

"His Majesty the Emperor is the highest king in Dongpu. For a long time, the shogunate has acted against the law and forced the emperor to order the princes, which has already caused the anger of the heavens and people. The disaster of Dongpu is caused by the shogunate. Anyone with insight will only serve His Majesty as the master." .”

The foreign daimyo remembered the strategy that Xia Guo once mentioned.

Respect the emperor and beg for adultery.

This slogan can hit the legitimacy of the Tokugawa shogunate to the greatest extent, change the current situation in Japan, and win more people's support.

The power of the Tokugawa shogunate continued to weaken, and the people continued to be hurt.There must be many people who are dissatisfied with the shogunate and are willing to unite under the banner of the emperor and overthrow the rule of the shogunate.

Not surprisingly, at the instigation of Shen Tingyang, the talks between the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo completely collapsed.

The two sides parted unhappily.

The news was sent back separately, and the two sides immediately began large-scale war preparations.
