Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 384 Zheng Sang, the cherry blossoms in my hometown have bloomed

Japanese slaves do have various problems.

For example, most of the Japanese slaves are single-minded or simply dead-brained.

This probably has something to do with the environment in which the Japanese slaves grew up - the son of a fisherman can only be a fisherman, the son of a farmer can only continue to farm, and the son of a nobleman will still be a nobleman.

The Japanese slaves have grown up in such a rigid to rigid and even rigid environment since childhood, so most of the Japanese slaves are some mindless things. The Japanese slaves with a slightly better level probably only have the spirit of craftsman left.

For another example, Japanese slaves are always good at defeating the superior, and misinterpreting the orders of their superiors is a traditional skill for them. It is even better to directly and secretly make a big noise to force the superior.

For another example, the Japanese slaves really have no humanity—if they say that they retain seven parts of their animal nature, it is an insult to beasts, and that they have three parts of their human appearance is a blatant insult to human beings.

If you simply look at these aspects, the Japanese slaves are really not qualified to serve as servants of the Ming army. If you add the short stature of the Japanese slaves, I am afraid that they will be ashamed to be used as cannon fodder for the Ming army. .

but!

No matter who you are, you have to admit that a single-minded, brutal, and inhuman army is definitely the best choice for a servant soldier—it just so happens that the Japanese slave is brutal enough, and when the master is strong enough, the Japanese slave The gadget is also quite protective, and it can bite people anytime, anywhere!

More importantly, Zhu Jinsong's plan for the Japanese slaves is the kind of rag that you can throw away after use, and you don't have to feel bad about throwing it away.

In other words, Zhu Jinsong intends to hand over all the dirty and tiring work that requires infamy to the Japanese slaves, and wait until the Japanese slaves have shed the last drop of blood for Daming and lose the value of their interests before completely treating the Japanese kingdom as a rag dispose of.

Black heart?

If the emperor is not ruthless enough, it can only show that the emperor is not qualified enough.

Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "Even if we don't consider the future of filming with other countries on Xiaopoqiu, we must also consider the issue between Tianzhu and Ottoman - when Tianzhu is resolved, that one will take its turn." To Ottoman."

"If there were no such dwarfs from the Wa Kingdom, who would recruit labor for me? Is it your cabinet? Or the Ministry of Households? The Ministry of Industry? Or the Ministry of War? The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and said: "Accept the request of Tokugawa Jiaqi and Kanehito, and allow their women from the Wa country to go to Tianzhu with the samurai and wanderers from the Wa country, so that they can have a good life." Branches and leaves spread."

Zeng Cheng immediately bowed down, and then asked tentatively: "Then, where are Tokugawa Ieqi and Kanehito..."

Zhu Jinsong knew what Zeng Cheng meant—since Jianren said that "the warriors of the Wa country want to fight in foreign lands for the emperor of the Ming country", it shows that Jianren has resentment.

And Tokugawa Ieqi's plan to push the Japanese girl to go to Tianzhu with the Japanese samurai and wanderers also shows that Tokugawa Ieqi still has his own little calculations in his heart.

If Kanehito and Tokugawa Jiaqi are not taught some lessons, what will Xiao Poguo's other four benevolent people think?What will other countries with small broken pots think?What will chickens, ducks, geese and dogs think?
Zhu Jinsong shook his head with a smile, tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Send someone to warn Kanehito and Tokugawa Ieqi to pay the teacher Matsudaira Sadanobu."

Zeng Cheng and others were a little hard to understand Zhu Jinsong's decision.

The so-called responsibility for teachers means that the two idiots, Kanehito and Tokugawa Ieaki, did not study well and did not understand the principles of loyalty and filial piety. The only ones who are blamed are the general assistant of the Tokugawa shogunate, major general Ren Zuojinweiquan, and Matsudaira Sadanobu of Etsuchu.

The problem is that Matsudaira Jonobu is not only an assistant to the shogunate, he is also a very typical "rotten scholar"!
In 1790, the fifth year of Emperor Ming Shenghuang, Matsudaira Sadanobu formulated the "Prohibition of Different Studies", reaffirming that Zhu Zixue is "supreme learning", and all "different studies" other than Zhu Zixue are prohibited. Lin Ziping, a famous political thinker in Japan at that time, was punished. His book "Hai Guo Bing Tan" was listed as a banned book.

In addition, Matsudaira Sadanobu also firmly implemented the policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".

It's a pity that Matsudaira Sadanobu perfectly interpreted what it means to be full of ideals and skinny in reality.

Matsudaira Sadanobu's reforms failed to revive the country's rural economy, nor could it stop the development of the commodity currency economy. The duties of the shogunate on the bright side have been completely transferred behind the scenes.

It can be said that Matsudaira Sadanobu relied entirely on his own strength to delay the timeline of Wa country's development by more than ten years!

Therefore, Zeng Cheng and others really couldn't understand why Zhu Jinsong didn't choose to support Matsudaira Jonobu so as to better bring disaster to the Japanese country, but instead chose to kill Matsudaira Jonobu?
Regarding Zeng Cheng and others' questions, Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "You all only saw the side where Matsudaira Sadanobu harmed the Japanese country, but you didn't see that Matsudaira Sadanobu rewarded samurai for practicing literature and martial arts, and banned private prostitution. and geisha, a policy of banning certain literature and mixed bathing?"

If banning a certain literature can be seen as Matsudaira Sadanobu's determination to be irreconcilable with gambling and drugs, banning private prostitutes and geishas, ​​and banning male/female mixed bathing can also be regarded as Matsudaira Sadanobu's imitation of a third person. A bit ashamed, then rewarding the samurai for practicing literature and martial arts is Matsudaira Sadanobu's way of death!

Why encourage Japanese warriors to practice literature and martial arts?
Said that Matsudaira Sadanobu encouraged the Japanese samurai to practice literature and martial arts so that they could serve the Ming Dynasty. Would anyone believe this kind of nonsense?
Anyway, Zhu Jinsong didn't believe it.

To put it bluntly, Matsudaira Sadanobu is still a Japanese slave after all, and he is also a discerning elite member among the Japanese slaves. After all, this guy still has his heart for the Japanese country!
Furthermore, Guangge Heavenly King Kanren has no city, and the shogunate general Tokugawa Iezai is a bit brainy but disagrees with Kanren, but these two guys control the entire Wa Kingdom—the damage they caused to Wa Kingdom The damage is definitely far more than a mere Matsudaira Sadanobu.

Therefore, killing Matsudaira Sadanobu to keep Kanehito and Tokugawa Jiaqi naturally became a matter of course.

……

Zhu Jinsong's decision was soon brought back to Wa Kingdom by Zheng Jiangfu.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty granted the request of the Wa country, and allowed the woman of the Wa country to go to Tianzhu with her husband."

After Zheng Jiangfu finished reading Zhu Jinsong's will, he frowned and said to Tokugawa Jiaqi: "However, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this scheming behavior of Wa Kingdom, and all the bigwigs in the court are also clamoring for another one. The honest and obedient Japanese king and shogun."

"Fortunately, the general was quite respectful to Daming before, and this time he also contributed some credit to Tianzhu's recruitment of laborers. His majesty has a kind heart and decided not to hold the general and King Guangge accountable, but to pay Xixi way to solve the problem.”

Speaking of this, Zheng Jiangfu sighed with a pretentious gesture, and said: "General, if you have any ideas in the future, you can tell me first, or you can directly report to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Don't worry about it again." Playing these little tricks."

Although Zheng Jiangfu already knew that he would not die when Zheng Jiangfu first read the will of the Ming emperor, Tokugawa Ieki still broke out in a cold sweat-this time it was luck, what about next time?
After careful consideration, Tokugawa Jiaqi cupped his hands towards Zheng Jiangfu, and said: "The reason why Jiaqi has such small thoughts is entirely because he wants those warriors to work harder in recruiting labor for Daming in Tianzhu. No two hearts!"

Zheng Jiangfu nodded with a smile, but in his heart he despised Tokugawa Iezai's shameless statement, while secretly rejoicing that he had a good ancestor——

If my ancestors were not the brothers of Lord Guoxing and had always supported Lord Guoxing to oppose the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that I would not have the official position and title of Ming Dynasty now; How could the general's Tokugawa Iezai be so humble in front of him?

Just as Zheng Jiangfu was complaining secretly, Tokugawa Jiaqi continued with a flattering smile and said: "If Zheng Sang's help is not there this time, I am afraid that Jiaqi will inevitably have to go through the gate of hell. Such a great kindness, family Qi really doesn't know how to repay Zheng Sang?"

repay?

I'm afraid I wish I could be killed immediately!
Zheng Jiangfu complained secretly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "What did Tokugawa Jiaqi say? Jiangfu was just a little baron in Ming Dynasty. General Tokugawa's safety and well-being this time is all thanks to the emperor." Your Majesty is magnanimous and benevolent, how dare Jiang Fu take credit for it?"

Well, what I said was quite polite, but I didn't accept the so-called routine of not knowing how to repay the so-called great kindness in Tokugawa Jiaqi's words.

Seeing that Zheng Jiangfu didn't pick up his own tricks at all, Tokugawa Ieqi couldn't help but secretly scolded Zheng Jiangfu that he wasn't a thing-there is the blood of the Japanese country in Zheng Jiangfu's bones!

In desperation, Tokugawa Ieqi could only continue to say with a flattering smile: "In the future, I hope Zheng Sang can say a few good words for the Japanese nation in front of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming."

Zheng Jiangfu nodded with a smile, and said, "General Tokugawa, don't worry, Jiangfu knows it well."

After casually agreeing to Tokugawa Ieqi, Zheng Jiangfu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tokugawa Ieqi: "This letter was entrusted to me by Governor Jiang, the governor of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Kyushu Island, to bring to the general."

The Tokugawa family was taken aback, and asked, "A letter from Governor Jiang to me?"

Zheng Jiangfu nodded and said: "Yes, although Governor Jiang has been transferred back to Daming, he said that he has always remembered the friendship with General Tokugawa—in fact, if Governor Jiang hadn't stood up for Tokugawa in front of His Majesty this time, The general said kindly, I'm afraid..."

Tokugawa Jiaqi's heart suddenly warmed up, and he took the letter from Zheng Jiangfu's hand and read it slowly.

"My brother's family is complete, and the words are like faces: brother Yu is shocked...it's better to speak out, remember to remember. Also, brother Yu is writing this letter to ask for something, and I hope that my virtuous brother will not shirk..."

In the letter Jiang Xinlong wrote to Tokugawa Ieqi, he first told Tokugawa Ieqi that if he had any ideas in the future, he could chat with Zheng Jiangfu first or write a letter to himself. Don't play this kind of narrow-mindedness anymore-this is proper caring.

But after caring for him, Jiang Xinlong changed the subject again, saying that he needed a few warriors from the Japanese country, who were more ruthless but obedient, and that he needed them to help an art student sent by the Habsburg family. Founded Factory Guard in Austria.

At the same time, Jiang Xinlong also said that this matter is not harmful to the Wa country, because these Wa country warriors will receive guidance and training from the Daming Jinyiwei, and they will also be able to serve as the help of the Tokugawa family when they return to the Wa country.

After reading the letter, Tokugawa Ieqi said to Zheng Jiangfu: "I already know Governor Jiang's request, and I will send corresponding personnel immediately."

Zheng Jiangfu asked curiously, "But I don't know what Governor Jiang said in the letter?"

When asked by Zheng Jiangfu, Tokugawa Jiaqi suddenly moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zheng Sang doesn't know what is written in this letter?"

Zheng Jiangfu shook his head and said, "How do I know the contents of the letter written by Governor Jiang to General Tokugawa?"

Hearing Zheng Jiangfu's answer, and carefully seeing that the expression on Zheng Jiangfu's face did not seem to be fake, Tokugawa Ieki's heart suddenly became happier——Zheng Jiangfu didn't know what Jiang Xinlong wrote in the letter?This shows that Jiang Xinlong probably doesn't regard Zheng Jiangfu as one of his own at all!

in case……

If Daming only gave Zheng Jiangfu a dispensable title, but did not regard Zheng Jiangfu as one of his own, does that mean that Wa Kingdom can work hard to fight for Zheng Jiangfu to fall to Wa Kingdom?

It's not that let Zheng Jiangfu do anything in Daming, but that once Zheng Jiangfu falls to the Wa country, the Wa country can learn about the developments in Daming through Zheng Jiangfu.

Thinking about it further, what if Zheng Jiangfu gained real power or even reused it in the Ming Dynasty?

Among other things, let’s just say that now that Zheng Jiangfu has been appointed to the Yamen of the Governor of Ming Dynasty in Kyushu Island, Tokugawa Ieki has a thousand ways and ten thousand ways to make Zheng Jiangfu make enough achievements, and then let him do it little by little. Move towards the high position of the Ming court!

Of course, it is not enough to have a way to promote Zheng Jiangfu to a high position-if you can't find a way to control Zheng Jiangfu, then wouldn't it be a complete fool to help Zheng Jiangfu get promoted all the way! ?
Thinking of this, Tokugawa Jiaqi looked at Zheng Jiangfu even more scorchingly: "Zheng Sang, it has been more than a year since you went to Daming this time, and you haven't been back to the Wa country? The cherry blossoms in the Wa country have already bloomed..."
