Ming Zuo

Chapter 1334

During the shogunate era, being the emperor was a very difficult thing.

No power, no power, no freedom, life or death is not in your hands.

Just like the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, he completely became a toy in the hands of eunuchs and military governors.

Dongying takes Datang as the standard everywhere and has carried out in-depth study.Even this kind of behavior of coercing the emperor to order the princes can be learned from the blue.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was forced, but only for more than 100 years.With the demise of the Tang Dynasty, it also disappeared.

But the emperor of Japan has been forced for thousands of years.

The shogunate changed from generation to generation.

Changed?

Change the soup but not the medicine!

Almost every emperor dreamed of killing the shogunate.Take back the power, order the world, and be the only one.

It's a pity that the royal family's weakness cannot be changed at all.

The conflict between Emperor Gomizuo and the Tokugawa shogunate became more serious.

Originally, he was young and could be the emperor for many years.

As a result, he was humiliated under the suppression of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Because of the needs of survival, all the money of the Japanese court needs to be provided by the shogunate, so the emperor had to endorse the shogunate.

The source of the conflict between the two sides began more than 20 years ago.

At that time, the court lady favored by Emperor Gomizuo gave birth to a son and a daughter.

This incident reached the ears of the shogun at the time, Tokugawa Hidetada, which made Tokugawa Hidetada very dissatisfied.

He put pressure on Emperor Mizuo to marry his daughter Kazuko Tokugawa.

Tokugawa Hidetada's intention was to support the heirs of Emperor Gomizuo and Tokugawa Kazuko as royal orthodoxy, and eventually realize the integration of the Tokugawa family and the royal family.

The royal family and the shogunate are truly integrated, and the status and power are in the hands of the Tokugawa family.

Emperor Gomizuo of course understood Tokugawa Hidetada's plan, but he dared not speak out, holding back his anger.

But later, another incident happened, which completely broke out the conflict between the two parties.

Due to financial shortages, the imperial court decided to issue laws to Dade Temple and Miaoshin Temple to allow monks to wear purple clothes.

Dade Temple and Miaoshin Temple paid tribute to the imperial court.

This is a matter of mutual benefit.

The imperial court's finances can be relieved, and the status of Dade Temple and Miaoxin Temple can be improved to increase their influence.

The shogunate did not allow the court to make its own claims, and immediately declared the court's approach invalid.

This is tantamount to slapping Emperor Gomizuo in the face in public, discrediting the imperial majesty.

Later, Tokugawa Iemitsu actually asked his nurse Kasuga Bureau to go to Kyoto to meet the emperor.

A mere woman in the Kasuga Bureau, who has no official position, no name, and no position, can surpass the court officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and she has no respect for the emperor.

This made Emperor Gomizuo feel extremely humiliated.

Don't do it, daddy!
He passed the throne to Prince Kokoko, who is now Emperor Meisho.

Although Emperor Mingzheng was the daughter of Tokugawa Kazuko, Tokugawa Hidetada's purpose was to let his grandson succeed him.

As a woman, Emperor Meisho cut off the thoughts of the Tokugawa family.

After Emperor Gomizuo abdicated, he also lived in the imperial palace and served as regent for a long period of time.

Originally, if the situation in Dongpu had been stable, he could only live aggrieved, without any hope in sight.

However, Xia Guo's intervention has gradually balanced the balance of power between the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo.

This led to a split in Japan and a civil war broke out.

When he first saw the Satsuma clan represented by Yuei Yamada appear in front of him, Emperor Gomizuo was sensitive to the fact that this might be his chance to turn things around.

"The foreign daimyo planned to hijack Emperor Meizheng, but was blocked by the Uwajima clan. There were also samurai with high martial arts skills, who killed Samofan by surprise. It is said that the leading samurai had only one eye, and his martial arts were very strong. He was just a Appearing on the stage made the people of the Satsuma domain lose their will to fight. However, when Yuei Yamada was retreating, he ran into Emperor Gomizuo and took him away. Emperor Gomizuo has now retreated to the Okayama area and has issued an order , re-ascended the emperor, is the master of Japan."

In Xia Guo's combat conference room, Liu Yiyuan reported the situation in Dongpu.

The changes over there surprised everyone.

Originally, everyone thought that between the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo, there must be a big fight over the competition for Emperor Meizheng.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, leading to the emperor Gomizuo who had already abdicated.

The Supreme Emperor is also ambitious, and immediately came back when he saw the opportunity.

Zuo Menggeng asked: "How about Emperor Mingzheng?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yiyuan smiled wryly.

"Originally, Emperor Mingzheng was very dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate, and his heart was biased toward the foreign daimyo. But after the foreign daimyo supported Emperor Mizuo, she immediately changed her position and formed an ally with the Tokugawa shogunate. She also issued an edict, announcing Emperor Gomizuo and Mizuo were called rebels. Because the two emperors appeared at the same time in Dongying, people were panicked, and they didn't know which side to belong to."

"This is what His Highness often said, the ass decides the head. Although Emperor Mingzheng was dissatisfied with the shogunate, when his legal system was threatened, he still chose to join hands with the enemy and keep his position as the first priority."

Hou Xun's words were unanimously approved by everyone.

Liao Zhongjian is on a mission to Europe, and the specific work of diplomacy is presided over by Chonghua.

He asked: "The Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo sent requests at the same time, hoping that we can recognize each other's legal status. How to reply, please His Highness and the cabinet to decide."

Zuo Menggeng immediately said: "This is Dongying's internal affairs and has nothing to do with us. Tell both parties clearly that we will not interfere."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Everyone understood that Zuo Menggeng wished that the two sides would fight more intensely.

Originally, it was just a fight for Emperor Mingzheng, but the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo were already fighting each other.

Now the two emperors stand side by side, just like two tigers on the top of a mountain.It will never stop until one falls.

On the contrary, the situation was better than Xia Guo had expected.

How could it be possible for Xia Guo to end at this time, favoring either side, resulting in an imbalance of power?
After receiving Xia Guo's reply, although both parties in Dongpu felt Xia Guo's malicious intentions, they had no choice but to accept it.

The only thing they can do is to quickly decide the outcome, regain the orthodox position, and not give Xia Guo a chance to end.

Unanimously, both sides began to increase their strength and put more troops on the battlefield.

Kagoshima Bay.

After many years, the navy of the Satsuma domain went out again.

The entire army that was attacked by Xia Guo at the beginning was wiped out, and there was nothing left.However, after several years of preparations, the Satsuma Domain's navy has grown to a certain size.

Not only that, Satsuma Fan also purchased two third-tier battleships from Xia Guo.

This is an absolute weapon at sea, capable of destroying a country.

In the war in Japan, the navy is the key to the outcome.

When the situation could not be broken on land, the coalition forces decided to look for opportunities from the sea.
