Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 187 Bangzi wants to recognize his father again

According to the analysis of Tokugawa Ieqi and Matsudaira Sadanobu, as long as Zhu Jinsong still considers himself an orthodox Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Jiangfu is willing to say a few more good things for Wa, then Zhu Jinsong will have to give Zheng Jiangfu some face.

Because Zheng Jiangfu is the seventh grandson of Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Tianchuan Qizaemon, and he is blood relative to Zheng Chenggong, the surname of the Ming Dynasty, and Qizaemon once "knowledges Edo personally, please go to the Ming Dynasty and work hard to avenge the destruction of Jianlu." , No matter what you do, you have to have three points of incense.

It is a pity that the relationship between Shichizaemon's department and the Tokugawa shogunate is not very good.

As we all know, the dwarfs of the Japanese country are more or less out of their minds.

Zheng Zhilong had a pretty good relationship with the Wa Kingdom and the Tokugawa Shogunate at the beginning. Not only did he do business with the Wa Kingdom for a long time, but his wife was also Japanese.

However, when Zheng Zhilong wanted to take his wife and children back to the Central Plains, he was obstructed several times by the Wa kingdom. The Wa country again detained Zheng Zhilong's second son Qizaemon as a hostage, and the relationship between the two parties was once very stinky.

According to the records in "Japanese Begging Teachers" and "Xingchaolu" written by Huang Zongxi, when Daming was about to sing cool, Guo Xingye also asked the Tokugawa shogunate to borrow troops several times, although the short shoguns also sponsored them to some extent. I borrowed some supplies, but failed to borrow one of the most important soldiers.

"...We will not send troops, but we will help you with copper cannons (copper cannons), deer guns, and Japanese knives."

Including Shichizaemon, who wanted to go to the Central Plains Hall to avenge with Lord Guoxing, but was unable to do so because of the obstruction of the Tokugawa shogunate. He could only continue to send manpower and supplies to Lord Guoxing, and help Lord Guoxing maintain the organization of the sea. The lifeblood of trade until the Tokugawa shogunate locked the country.

With so many broken things in it, it is pure nonsense to say that Tokugawa Ieqi is sure that he can persuade Zheng Jiangfu.

However, to Tokugawa Ieaki's surprise, Zheng Jiangfu agreed to go to Ming Dynasty without hesitation.

……

When Zheng Jiangfu boarded the ship and headed for Daming, the war between the Wa Kingdom and the Eight Banners Maoxiong also entered a fierce stage.

Eight Banners Maoxiong and Maoxiong Eight Banners are two completely different concepts, and many people are easy to confuse them - if the number of Maoxiong captives is large enough to be completely compiled into eight banners, then their organization is Maoxiong Eight Banners, But as it is now, the number of people is so small that they don't even have the establishment of a banner, so they can only be called the Eight Banners Maoxiong.

Just like when Nurhachi first started his family, the grassland tribes who took refuge in Jianlu were compiled into the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and when the Qing Dynasty was completely branched out and all the tribes on the grassland took refuge in Jianlu, Jianlu compiled the grassland into the Eight Banners of Mongolia .

The problem lies in the fact that the Eight Banners Maoxiong has too few troops.

In terms of the degree of fear of death, the Japanese dwarfs are probably on the same level as the Eight Banners Maoxiong, but in terms of size, physical strength, and logistical supplies, the Eight Banners Maoxiong far surpasses the Japanese dwarfs.

The only advantage of the dwarfs is that the warriors of the Japanese kingdom are not valuable. Compared with the Eight Banners Maoxiong who dies one less, the dwarf warriors of the Japanese kingdom can continuously replenish their soldiers. He often fights with Baqi Maoxiong with his short legs upside down, so that the number of Baqi Maoxiong is getting smaller and smaller.

The Eight Banners Maoxiong fought less and less, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners and North Korea could not count on it, so that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty became more and more depressed, but the short scorpions became more and more energetic.

This is very painful.

Especially after the Eight Banners Maoxiong's troops decreased sharply and the news of North Korea's continuous loss of territory came back to Zhili, He Shen and Zhongtang were almost mad with anger.

He Zhongtang is also very clear in his heart that if he wants to solve the immediate predicament, he must either transfer the Gurkha Eight Banners to North Korea, or bring in a large number of woolly bear captives to supplement the consumption of the Eight Banners woolly bears. The Eight Banners can suddenly rise, other than that, basically there is no good way.

The Gurkha Eight Banners stationed on the Gurkha side naturally don’t need to think about it, and the Gurkha Eight Banners sent to Zhili by the fifteenth elder brother Yongyan, together with the North Korean Eight Banners, followed the eighth elder brother Yongxuan to fight the bear up.

As for the Eight Banners of Mite Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty...

I will cry if I continue!

In this case, what can He Shen and Zhongtang do?
Counting on money deaf old dog?

Qian Deaf, known as the perfect martial artist, has never led a soldier, let alone fought a single battle. The greatest ability in his life is to go to the south of the Yangtze River six times, inspecting the river projects on countless little ladies.

Faced with this situation, Old Dog Qian Deaf can only be incompetent and furious, and then throw the problem to Heshen and Zhongtang to deal with.

He Zhongtang even complained privately: "Ben Zhongtang, I'm about to become a paper poster!"

Of course, complaints are nothing but complaints. He Shen and Zhongtang were able to get into the position of Minister of Military Aircraft, and they had real skills. Even in this painful situation, He Zhongtang still thought of a way to break the situation——

After carefully analyzing the war situation in North Korea, He Shen and Zhongtang believed that the reason why the Eight Banners of Mizhou in the Qing Dynasty feared war and feared death was because they were not short of money, while the reason why North Korean soldiers feared war and feared death was because of money. Not in place.

Just like the green battalion soldiers sent to exterminate Zhu Ni before the Qing Dynasty.

What do those green battalion soldiers look like?
On weekdays, they oppress the common people, kick the widow's door, dig the grave of the family, and they will do whatever is immoral. On the battlefield, they retreat if they can. In the face of Zhu Ni, they take the initiative to organize their equipment and kneel down and surrender!

And what did some green battalion soldiers who took refuge in Zhu Ni and then followed Zhu Ni to attack the Qing Dynasty look like?
Fearless!Charge against the gunfire!Can beat the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to shit!

The same group of people, such a huge contrast before and after, why?
No, it’s because the Qing Dynasty didn’t treat the green battalion soldiers as human beings. The top soldiers eat nothing, drink soldiers’ blood, and even serve soldiers as slaves. Work hard?

On the other hand, Zhu Ni never defaulted on the payment of the army, not to mention that he even gave various preferential treatment to the soldiers and took care of his family members. Naturally, he is not afraid of death.

Therefore, He Shen and Zhongtang easily came to a conclusion-it was not that the North Korean soldiers were useless, but lack of motivation!

That being the case, then recruit another batch of North Korean Green Battalions and directly promise huge profits: as long as you fight bravely, you will have the opportunity to be carried into the Eight Banners of Mizhou with your military exploits, and you will be able to become a master from now on!
However, what Heshen and Zhongtang couldn't understand was that even though they had already promised to raise the flag and even paid a batch of military salaries, the performance of those North Korean soldiers was still the same as before. Those who are afraid of war and death are still afraid of war and death.

It's as if they don't care whether they can raise the flag at all, let alone whether the military salary can be paid on time and in quantity.

In contrast, the surviving Eight Banners Bears became more fearless.

The problem is that no matter how brave the Eight Banners Maoxiong is, it can’t change the fact that its troops are too small. The North Korean side should lose ground. Bian, claiming that "it is better to die in the country of parents than to die at the hands of thieves."

The problem is that the "King Xianwenyi, Wushengrui, Daxiao" who was touted by the sticks desperately, the reason why Li Yan, Xuanzu of Joseon Dynasty, wanted to "die in the country of his parents" was because Li Yan had a good father, and Da Ming's father really sent troops to help With Li Yan.

And the father that Li Zhi just recognized...

After Qian Deaf old dog heard the news that Li Yan planned to attach it, his first reaction was to agree happily, and his second reaction was to change his name from the old man who had just been promoted to Eleven Full to Twelve Full , the third reaction is how much money the North Korean treasury can spend, and the fourth reaction is how to help Li Zhen get rid of the Wa country.

Qian Deaf's old dog's operation, not to mention that the North Korean leader Li Yan can't stand it, even those sticks can't stand it.

Seeing that Daming's father doesn't care about North Korea's life and death, and Daqing and Qian Deaf old dog just regard North Korea as a ticket number that can be withdrawn at will, and those dwarfs in the Japanese state are constantly attacking the city, so North Korea is on the rise again. Don't copy the rebel army three times.

The newly-emerged Sanbiecha rebels and the North Korean gentry who supported Sanbiecha agreed that because Li Zong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he had completely abandoned his ancestral behest of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and he was no longer qualified to continue to be the leader of North Korea. It was decided to change the grandson of "Yiwen Xuanwuxi King Xianxiao" and the son of Zhuang Xian's son Li Dan as the new king of Joseon.

After Li ascended the throne, he immediately played the banner of "recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan" and "resisting the Japanese and rejecting the Qing Dynasty". Attached things.

Unlike Zheng Hua and Meng Yun, who went directly to Jinan Mansion to request enclosing, En Yanjun Li did not come to Daming in person, but followed the etiquette of previous Korean kings treating Daming, and wrote a letter to Zhu Jinsong. table seal.

Li first asked whether Zhu Jinsong was healthy, whether Zhu Jinsong’s wife and children were healthy, including whether Zhu Jinsong’s dog was healthy, and then he got down to business:
"I didn't get the will of His Majesty's grandfather, the emperor of Ming Dynasty. I didn't dare to ascend the throne and become the king. I only took charge of the state affairs of North Korea temporarily in the capacity of Lord Enyan. Those in North Korea are the filial sons of Ming Dynasty. The subjects of North Korea look forward to Daming just like babies look forward to their parents. I hope that His Majesty the Grandfather of the Ming Emperor will be grateful for North Korea's always respectful and respectful attitude, and ignore Li Zhen's evil, and then accept North Korea under his knees."

Yes, Li used the seal instead of the letter of credence. Not only did he address the emperors of the Ming Dynasty as "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty" like the previous kings of the Joseon Dynasty did to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but he also emphasized once again that the Joseon Dynasty is the filial son of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, will The emperor was able to "not think of Li Zhi's old evils, and accepted North Korea as his son again."

Anyway, no matter in terms of etiquette or writing, Zhu Jinsong couldn't find any faults.

If I had to pick a bone, it would be that there was too much nonsense in this letter, and only the next hundred or so words were really useful.

Zhu Jinsong was confused by this letter.

In all honesty, Zhu Jinsong's perception of sticks is average, probably no different from Japanese slaves, Xiyi and the like.

If it is said that Zhu Jinsong directly sent troops to conquer North Korea, there must be no problem at all, but if it is said that Zhu Jinsong canonize any foreign feudal clan, it must be nonsense.

But Zhu Jinsong did not expect that North Korea actually had a group of filial sons of the Ming Dynasty, and the freshly baked Enyanjun Li even directly asked to be included.

This is more troublesome.

If he directly recognizes Li as his godson, Zhu Jinsong will feel a little tired, but if he refuses directly, it will inevitably be a bit unjustifiable.

What troubled Zhu Jinsong even more was the arrival of Zheng Jiangfu.

In all honesty, Zhu Jinsong didn't want to meet Zheng Jiangfu at first. After all, more than 150 years have passed. Who knows if the Shichizaemon family still recognizes them as descendants of the Zheng family?
It would be better if they were willing to admit it, but if they were unwilling to admit it, what would Zhu Jinsong do?kill?Or not to kill?

Therefore, it is better not to meet than to meet, and when Wajima is taken down in the future, for the sake of the country's surname, it is enough to leave the Shichizaemon family.

The problem is that Zheng Jiangfu came directly to Jinan and took out the token that Guoxing Ye left to Shichizaemon, which made Zhu Jinsong have to meet him, even for the sake of Guoxing Ye.

However, when Zhu Jinsong summoned Zheng Jiangfu, gave a banquet to entertain the Japanese mission headed by Zheng Jiangfu, and summoned Zheng Jiangfu in private, Zheng Jiangfu once again took out the token left by Guoxing Lord to Shichizaemon, and then it was done The ceremony of four prostrations: "My lord, the late king of Yanping County of Ming Dynasty, Uncle Zhongxiao, grand-nephew of Zhu Chenggong VII, Zheng Jiangfu, see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, may my emperor live long, long live, long live!"

After the worship, Zheng Jiangfu said: "This trip is entrusted by the Tokugawa family to fight for the treatment of foreign vassals and non-expropriation countries for the Japanese country. Qi's request, I am afraid that there will be no hope of stepping into the Central Plains for the rest of my life, so I came here with a thick skin."

Zheng Jiangfu's original intention was to ask Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, to help revenge, so that Shichizaemon's family could have the opportunity to kill Qian Deaf Old Dog and Qian Deaf Old Dog's descendants, so as to avenge the Zheng family back then.

Zheng Jiangfu said that it would be even better if Daming could get rid of the Tokugawa shogunate by the way, because Qizaemon wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty with Lord Guoxing back then, but the Tokugawa shogunate kept obstructing it, and Qizaemon also So he died in depression.

Anyway, in a word, since you Zhu Jinsong consider yourself the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it depends on whether you recognize the Yanping County King conferred by Emperor Longwu, and whether you recognize the Shichizaemon family as ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as you Emperor Zhu recognizes the Shichizaemon family, then the Shichizaemon family will honestly lurk in the Wa country, and lead the way for the Ming army when Da Ming attacks the Wa country.

If you, Emperor Zhu, don’t recognize it, then you can sell me to Tokugawa Jiaqi, and you can pretend that I have never been here. In the future, you will follow your Yangguan way, and our Shichizaemon family will walk on our own single-plank bridge.

Zhu Jinsong summed it up, what is there that I dare not admit?
