The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 625 There Are Scared Japanese Nobles

Hunting is an aristocratic sport, and it is very popular in both the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying's visit to the Wa Kingdom was not so much a negotiation as a play. There was no chance for the Wa Kingdom to talk about the terms in the negotiation book, and everything was based on Zhu Ying's orders.

Even the minister of the Wa Kingdom, who escaped again, remained silent, watching Emperor Komatsu stamp the seal on the covenant.

The moment the seal is affixed, it means that the official jurisdiction of the entire Kyushu Island has been completely ceded to Daming.

Of course, in the same way, Japan also obtained a large number of high-yielding crop seeds, each of which weighed more than 3000 catties, totaling [-] catties.

After getting the seeds of these high-yield crops, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu quickly sent people to escort them back to Honshu Island, and started full-scale planting only after the grandson of Ming Dynasty was received here.

In the early morning of summer, restless horses and dazzling nobles can be vaguely seen on the emerald green hills.

Zhu Ying didn't end at this time, she sat high on the stand, and below was the competition between Japanese warriors and Ming soldiers.

It's not so much hunting, it's more like a manifestation of the military strength of the two countries, and it's Ming's showing off to the Wa country.

The Japanese warrior on a pony stood next to the tall Ming soldier, looking ridiculous like a clown.

In the hunting ground, there are hundreds of wild boars, as well as leopards, elk, rabbits and other prey.

According to the rules of hunting, whichever side gets more prey and is more ferocious is the winner.

The hunting has not yet started, and the faces of the nobles of the Japanese country are very ugly.

"I don't know what the general means and why such a program is arranged. Isn't this a self-inflicted humiliation."

"Our country's samurai are no match for Ming soldiers at all. Doing so will only embarrass the face of the Emperor."

Among the nobles, a Japanese minister said bitterly.

He is a member of the royalist faction, and he is the most opposed to the rule of the shogunate. Even if the current Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is powerful, he has no fear at all.

The words were full of sarcasm, without any scruples at all.

After he said these words, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among the shogunate factions.

He said bitterly, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

For a while, no one could organize speeches against him.

But soon someone said: "Even if you lose the enemy, so what? If you lose the enemy, you can't participate. I think the general's idea is very good. This is to motivate our warriors and let them know that they have a strong relationship with Daming." What a gap."

"Only when you know your own gap, you will work harder to train in the days to come."

"It can't be that if you can't fight, you can't fight. It's better for our Japanese country to surrender."

The person who stood up to speak made a wave of irony, which immediately aroused the sympathy of the people around him.

"That's right, now that we have the high-yielding crops of the Ming Dynasty, we no longer have to worry about running out of food. We should let the warriors train harder and try to catch up with the prestige of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

"Da Ming's soldiers are not born so powerful. As long as we are willing to train hard, there will be such a day."

"It's been less than thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and our Wa country has been passed on for more than a thousand years, and now it's just a momentary disgrace."

The followers of the shogunate faction are obviously more motivated by such stimulation, which makes the royalist faction, which was originally a small number, appear very weak.

It's just that among the crowd of followers of the shogunate, a ten-year-old child looked at the grandson of the Ming Dynasty not far away with twinkling eyes.

He is Ashikaga Yoshichi, the son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who abdicated two years ago.

Ashikaga Yoshichi was only nine years old when he came to the throne, and he is 11 years old this year.

It stands to reason that he should be very happy. Even though he did not gain the real power to rule the shogunate because he was too young, he has already confirmed the inheritance, and when he grows up, he will be a stable shogun.

It sounds good, but the reality is extremely skinny.

The Wa Kingdom is also a eldest son inheritance system, which is the cultural influence inherited from the Central Plains Dynasty.

But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's legitimate son, his biological mother is Fujiwara Keiko, the daughter of Sanbaoin Fangguan Anyun Fayan, who belongs to a concubine.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to inherit the position of the shogun, but it happened that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, his wife Hino Yeko and his second wife Hino Yasuko had no sons, so Ashikaga Yoshichi was established as his heir and Hino Yasuko accepted him For adopted son.

This is very lucky. Before Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also trained Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as his heir.

God just made a joke for him at this time.

It was in the year when Ashikaga Yoshichi inherited the shogun, his stepmother Yasuko Hino became pregnant and gave birth to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu a son, Ashikaga Yoshinori.

This is the real son.

Unlike Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was born casually because of drunkenness, his second wife, Hino Yasuko, is the one Ashikaga Yoshimitsu really loves.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu loved Yoshimitsu very much, and because of his preference, the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu began to become bad.

The biggest impact is that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has gradually taken back all the powers of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the past two years, and cut off his connection with the generals under his command. It is obvious that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will inherit all his status .

Just as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu succeeded to the shogun at the age of ten, he regained his power through political means.

As the son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, even in his teens, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu already knows a lot of things. He can understand his father's preference.

But the previous enthusiasm and the current disgust, even the defensiveness made Ashikaga Yoshichi feel very uncomfortable.

He didn't want to compete with his younger brother, but why did his father lose his love after his younger brother was born, and even treated him as an outsider.

Isn't he the father's son?

In two years, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was originally lively and lovely, became a city mansion. Because of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's powerful influence, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became a little distorted in his heart.

The more he doesn't want to give him, the more he wants to get it.

The only fortunate thing is that my younger brother is still at a very good age, at least he must be eight or nine years old to replace him, which means that his nominal shogun can still stay for another six or seven years.

What's more, he vaguely guessed that his father wanted to seek the power of the emperor, and then merge the power of the shogun and the emperor, so that his brother Ashikaga Yoshinori became the real emperor with real power.

This made him even more jealous. Every night when he was lying in bed, he was thinking about how to seize power.

"Da Ming grandson, may be my only chance. '

Ashikaga Yoshichi's eyes flickered. It was almost impossible for him to win against his father. Whether it was everyone in the Muromachi shogunate, the local daimyo, or the emperor's faction, it was impossible to fight against his father.

But the great grandson of Ming Dynasty is different.

When he saw his father flattering the grandson of Ming Dynasty like a humble servant, it made him feel extremely happy for the first time.

At the same time, he also knew that the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty was more noble than the entire Wa Kingdom.

Coincidentally, in the previous two nights, he overheard the conversation between his father and General Shibo Yi, the head of the Shibo family, from the corner of the wall.

This made him understand many things.

For example, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty wanted to seize the territory of the Wa Kingdom, for example, Shibo Yijiang and his father had the idea of ​​assassinating the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, my father didn't dare to do this, because it might lead to the destruction of the entire Wa country, the kind that really disappeared in history.

"If I tell Grandson Daming about the conversation between my father and General Shibo, or prove that they have assassinated Grandson Daming."

"Then the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be furious and punish his father, and even give him death."

"In this case, I am the real shogun."

Ashikaga Yoshichi's eyes showed vicious resentment, and he was thinking about this possibility in his heart.

But thinking of his father's death, Ashikaga Yoshichi gave up this idea for the time being.

Because the power has been confiscated, and he has no confidants in the shogunate, once his father is given to death, he will face the same situation as when his father inherited the shogunate.

Those seemingly loyal subordinates will take away the power of the shogunate, and he is very likely to become a puppet.

This is not what he wants.

"It would be great if I could become the adoptive son of the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, many generals will surrender to me because they want to curry favor with the grandson of the Ming Dynasty."

Ashikaga Yoshichi subconsciously sighed, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

Because he felt that if he was in the interests of Daming, it was not impossible.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Daming Grandson again, wanting to find a chance to meet Daming Grandson in private.

"Hey, what about people?"

At this time, there was no longer the grandson of Ming Dynasty in the stands. Ashikaga Yoshichi turned his head again and found that it seemed that his father Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Emperor Komatsu were gone.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts just now that I didn't notice what happened around me.

Ashikaga Yoshichi gritted his teeth. No one came to inform him, the nominal shogun, of such an important change.

At this moment, there was a loud noise, and Ashikaga Yoshichi looked down quickly.

It was the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty in military uniform, riding on a tall horse and holding an exquisite longbow, obviously preparing to participate in the hunt in person.

Next to the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, there are also the four great vassal kings, as well as the father of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the top aristocrat on the Japanese side, and others.

But only without him.

"This is the first time I have seen Taisun mount a horse. I heard that Taisun was very good at martial arts in the Western Regions. Today I can see it."

Zhu Ying was very familiar with the movement of getting on the horse, and Zhu Yan could tell at a glance that his riding skills must be extraordinary.

Immediately praised and said.

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, Zhu Yan continued: "It's a pity that the emperor is not here. If the emperor sees the eldest nephew hunting, he will definitely be very happy."

Ever since Zhu Ying arrived in the capital, she has never had a chance to show off her force.

The only other time was when he was playing with Zhu Gaochi and Xu Miaojin, he met Zhou Ji who couldn't open his eyes.

The result of Zhu Ying's action is naturally implicated in his father Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing.

In the end, not only Zhou Ji was executed, but Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing was also implicated and killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since then, Zhu Ying has never shown her force again.

Having said that, Zhu Ying, who entered the palace shortly thereafter, did not have this opportunity. If Zhu Ying was to make a move, it would mean that a major event had occurred that caused a sensation in the capital.

Another time was the assassination encountered in the capital.

At that time, Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang were together. Zhu Ying killed several assassins in an instant.

The two presentations were very private, even a few vassals didn't know about it, let alone other people.

Therefore, the understanding of Zhu Ying's military power by Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Wei is still the rumor from Zhu Ying's time when he ran a business.

How exactly, no one knows.

When a beautiful hard bow was sent by Song Zhong himself, it really shocked several knowledgeable feudal lords.

Although the firearm is strong, a hard bow is the romance of men in this era.

At present, soft bows are used in the army, which is more convenient for riding and shooting.

But the hard bow was not banned, it was just transferred from the army to the nobles.

Especially in hunting activities, a hard bow is more able to show personal force.

But Zhu Xi and others could tell at a glance that the hard bow in Zhu Ying's hand was a two-stone strong bow.

For most nobles, a stone bow is already the limit, after all, it is impossible for most nobles to fight on the front line.

Hunting is more of a seven-dou hard bow.

What is the concept of two stone bows.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a general like Huang Zhong who could open two stone bows.

For example, when Lu Bu shoots a halberd at the shaft gate, he opens with two stone bows.

In the Ming Dynasty, the two-stone bow is no longer used as a strong bow for actual shooting, but belongs to the category of force bow, that is, a bow used to practice strength.

But now Zhu Ying did not rely on the strength of her legs to shoot with two crossbows on the horse.

Dismount immediately, these are two completely different concepts.

The so-called Genghis Khan shooting a big eagle can only be done by standing on the ground and arousing all the strength of the whole body.

The nobles of the Japanese kingdom were a little confused and didn't understand these things very well, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had read many books and naturally understood what the concept of the two stone bows of the Central Plains Dynasty was.

At this time, after Zhu Ying took over the hard bow, she easily drew a full moon and felt the strength of the hard bow, which is very necessary for the accuracy of shooting later.

Seeing this, the vassal kings took a deep breath.

Zhu Ying's movements are too easy, especially after being pulled back slowly, it shows her strong arm strength.

With this level of arm strength, even in the army, he is an absolute expert who is one in a million.

Among the many famous founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, the only one with such supernatural power was Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping who had made great contributions.

Even Xu Da didn't have such terrifying force.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked even more horrified, and secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, the assassination was not arranged. If the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty really has the power to open two crossbows, I am afraid that the assassinated samurai will have no chance to get close, and he will be killed by everyone." Shoot it."

No one would think that Taisun Zhuying was putting on a show. After all, this was hunting, not a performance, and it only counted when enough prey had been hunted.

Maybe it was in response to the scene, at this time, a strong wild boar suddenly broke in about a hundred steps away from the crowd.

This wild boar has a very fierce temper. Seeing that the people present had no fear, they howled instead, as if declaring that this place belonged to their own territory.

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up, and she was worried that there would be no chance to try shooting the bow just after learning it, and it was a good time for the wild boar to come.

Immediately, he took out an arrow from the quiver hanging beside the war horse.

Bending the bow and setting the arrow, and shooting out instantly.

Only the sound of piercing through the air was heard, and the arrow whizzed past, piercing fiercely on the wild boar's head.

Humming twice, he fell to the ground.

Hearing this sound, everyone around felt chills in their hearts, and the scene was silent for a while.

The martial power of the grandson of Ming Dynasty is so terrifying!
