Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 451

"Everyone, I think your vision is too narrow." Mitsuhisa Shimadzu said suddenly.

Um?More than a dozen domains, large and small, and dozens of daimyo present all glared at Mitsuhisa Shimadzu.

In their view, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, who suddenly satirized everyone, seemed a little too arrogant.

"Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, you little brat who doesn't even have full hair, how dare you say that our vision is narrow?" Mo Lixiu of the Changzhou Domain asked dissatisfied.

"That's right!" Mitsuhisa Shimadzu said stiffly, "We are not doing this to continue the old Sekigahara War, nor is it to put the Tokugawa family to death, but to save the nation and build a peaceful world." A country as powerful as China!"

Hiss... Many daimyos present gasped when they heard the word "Zhonghua".

In this era, these two words are synonymous with power, there is no doubt about it!Some of them fought against the Ming Expeditionary Force on the Goryeo battlefield, and some heard many legends about China from their parents and grandparents. Everyone knows that there is always a powerful empire hovering on the vast continent, which cannot be provoked. .

Become a country as powerful as the Celestial Dynasty?They dare not even think about it!
"The daimyos present are all keen to trade with the Liao Army from Ming Dynasty, and they must have seen the large warships of the Liao Army - like an indestructible castle on the sea, with more cannons than stars in the sky, powerful It is a thousand times stronger than our iron cannons. They easily opened the gate of Edo Bay and forced the invincible Tokugawa shogunate to give up part of the territory of Edo Bay." Mitsuhisa Shimadzu emphasized the black ship that happened a while ago event.

The kneeling daimyos nodded frequently.The arrival of the black news greatly stimulated Dongying Kingdom, which was preparing to close the country, and millions of people were outraged. Under the guidance of people of insight, the anger of the people was concentrated on the shogunate itself, and there were endless calls for the Tokugawa shogunate to step down. .This event also became a catalyst, allowing the daimyo, who realized that earth-shaking changes were taking place on the other side of the sea, to think ahead about his role in this era.

"The heavens and kingdoms on the other side of the ocean have always been in full swing. As early as thousands of years ago in their Tang Dynasty, we Dongying sent Tang envoys to study. They are strong, but for a small place like ours, their emperors always look down on them. Why should we worry that they will have our ideas?" said a daimyo from Shikoku Island.

"Have you forgotten the Battle of Bunyong and Hong'an during the time of the Yuan Kou? Back then, Kamikaze helped destroy the ships of the Yuan Kou, which saved our Kyushu Island." Tadyoshi Yamauchi, also from Shikoku Island, said .

The Yuan bandits he was talking about were the Kublai Khan Empire. At that time, the Mongolian army united with the Goryeo and the Han people and tried to attack Kyushu Island twice, trying to make the Dongying Kingdom surrender.All the big names present knew about this matter before the Warring States Period.

"Even without kamikaze, Yuan Kou couldn't conquer us. Later, we captured [-] prisoners, most of them were beheaded, and a few were kept as slaves. It's not entirely because of kamikaze." Another daimyo said.

"Our army's victory over the Mongolian Allied Forces was the Battle of Hong'an, which happened after the Battle of Wenyong. The main reason is that our army had been prepared for a long time and built a stone wall that was tens of miles long on Kyushu Island. The Yuan bandits were unable to land. And The Yuan bandits are cavalrymen and are not familiar with naval battles. Now we are facing the powerful Ming and Liao armies. Their artillery can easily destroy any stone wall, and their battleships can easily overturn our Anzhai ship. Even Kamikaze can save us. Without us!" Shimadzu Iemitsu said.

"Ahem, please allow me to say a word." Shimadzu Tadahiro said, who had been silent all this time.

Shimadzu Tadahiro is a veteran who fought against the Ming army on the Goryeo battlefield when he was young more than 30 years ago. As soon as he spoke, all the daimyos present sat upright, expressing respect for Shimadzu Tadahiro.

"We used to sit in Guantian, occupying a land of 30 miles, that was the daimyo, and the younger ones could call themselves city lords. During the Warring States period, there were hundreds of daimyos and city lords, and each of them thought that as long as they went to Luo, they could dominate everything and the world. Invincible." Shimadzu Tadahiro said, "Later Oda Nobunaga ruled the world, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi inherited his will after the change of Honnoji Temple, and he had no rivals in Dongying. But when we left Dongying, we were in Korea and far away After the Ming army fought, we encountered the most tragic battle since the Warring States period. The firearms of the Ming army were better than ours. Looking at the present, the Fu Liao army in the Ming Dynasty has sprung up. Their firearms are as powerful as when we fought against the Ming Dynasty 30 years ago. The firearms seen are ten times and hundreds of times. It is only 30 years, and their development is so fast. If in another [-] years, if the Liao army wants to invade our Dongying like the Yuan invaders at that time, what should we rely on to resist them? "

"Moreover, our ocean seems to be just a corner of the world. The huge world is waiting for us to explore or conquer. We need to look at a wider world. The premise of exploring the unknown is to make Dongying Kingdom a unified and powerful country. The kingdom is like a celestial dynasty, and we want to become a great empire and never be divided again."

Shimadzu Tadahiro said hoarsely.Every word of his was very clear, and the novel idea shocked all the daimyos present.

For thousands of years, in times of peace, Dongying Kingdom has always implemented the shogun system, but the emperor system with real power has hardly been implemented.The current emperor is just a mascot.

"You mean that we want to promote the emperor as the emperor of Ming Dynasty? As far as we know, the emperor of Ming Dynasty has the supreme power. He can execute any courtier who disobeys him, and he can dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. He doesn't need any retainers. Only the most loyal servants are needed. Doing so is equivalent to putting our fate in the hands of the emperor who currently has no power. For the emperor, it is pie in the sky. But what good is it for us?" Choshu Domain Maori Xiu asked.

If Chongzhen heard their conversation here, he would definitely ask them if they had any misunderstandings about the Ming emperor.If Emperor Ming had such real power, perhaps he would not have been imprisoned by Chu Yun on a sea island in southern Liaoning.

"We are in the name of supporting the emperor. The hundred officials are elected by the quotas of each vassal, and the hundred officials council decides political affairs. In this way, the whole country is unified. As the first group of people who support the emperor, we can still have great power. How about knowing everyone's opinion?" Mitsuhisa Shimadzu said, "The will of the whole country can also be manipulated by us and our descendants."

"Yes!" The Choshu, Tosa, Higo and other daimyos can not only replace the Tokugawa shogunate as the new Japanese controllers, but also integrate all the daimyos into a unified empire, so why not do it!
