To be recognized by the Ming Dynasty means to have external support and strength.

Although Japan is an island country, his Ashikaga Yoshima's eyes have always been on the vast continent.

The Ming Dynasty was founded in the south of China and overthrew the arrogant Northern Yuan Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of troops made northern expeditions several times, sweeping thousands of troops. What a great martial arts.

Moreover, during the Northern Expedition, they continued to use troops to southwest China, and all the chieftains and vassal states on the frontier surrendered. What a military front.

The Ming Dynasty had millions of soldiers and horses, and all the vast areas were available. Trade with the Ming Dynasty would make Japan stronger and stronger. Moreover, the wealth obtained through trade was enough for him to use money to replace the samurai sword and eliminate the enemy.

Another point is that the Ming Dynasty is booming today. This is also the fundamental reason why Ashikaga Yoshiman changed his disrespectful approach to the Ming Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties after Japan was unified by the north and south.

He was familiar with the history books of the Celestial Empire and knew that any dynasty in the Celestial Empire would be an invincible existence within a hundred years of its founding.

The hall was silent, and this was the time when Spoyi would speak again, "Lord, Mingguo may not understand your hard work! They are here this time..."

"It's up to people!" Ashikaga Yoshima interrupted the other party, "I observe that the envoys of the Ming Kingdom are greedy people, and there are many ways to deal with greedy people." As he said that, he suddenly smiled, "He came from thousands of miles away, and he rebuked me or not, who knows? It depends on whether we can move the Ming Dynasty's mission!"

"I will give the Emperor Ming Dynasty a humble letter of nationality, and I will cry. The heavenly kingdom has always been like this. Let their self-esteem be satisfied, and they will give us a certain respect later!"

As he said that, Ashikaga Yoshiman suddenly smiled coldly, "Besides, it is not a complete loss of dignity and pleasing. Since I accepted the enthronement of the Ming Dynasty, I have cooperated with the Ming Dynasty to eliminate pirates. If we release the pirate wolf now, will the Ming Dynasty's sea border be stable?"

"I believe that compared to our Japanese internal affairs, the Ming Dynasty's coastal borders are what they care more about, right?"

"So what if I am really Dong Zhuo from Japan? But I am determined to have a good relationship with Daming and have the strength to let Daming take a look. What can the emperor do? What can he help Daming? What can he bring to Daming?"

"I want to find a account, Daming will settle it!"

"Father!" Ashikaga Yoshika whispered, "Son, I feel that you are too wronged!"

"When a man is in a world, what is the point of bowing his head? There is a saying in China that a real man can bend and stretch. Even the Supreme Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, have he suffered less grievances in his life? Which one is more important than a permanent foundation?"

As he said that, Ashikaga Yoshima spoke sternly, "Everyone!"

"Hi!" The shogunate ministers knelt down and leaned over.

"Entertainment of Ming Kingdom, no one shall be neglected!" Ashikaga Yoshimo said majesticly, "Those who dare to be rude to the envoys shall be killed!"

"Hayi!"

Then, the shogunate officials retreated.

Only Ashikaga Yoshima, Ashikaga Yoshiji, and Spori Yoshinori had another important shogunate official, Kanbayashi Ashikaga.

Guan Bai is an official position, originated from China, meaning to repost the report.

"Book of Han: Biography of Huo Guangjin Rizhao" "Everything is first closed to Bai Guang, and then reported to the emperor."

In Japan, the emperor had no real power for a long time, but had a respectable status. Therefore, Guanbai was an important bridge for communication between the shogunate and the emperor, and was also an intermediary for the two sides to divide their interests.

Yishiji was born with a noble family, and his family was a branch of the wealthy Fujiwara clan from Japan. He was elegant and not like a samurai but like a scholar from the Celestial Empire. He had a steady personality and never rush to express his opinions. However, what he said was taken seriously by Ashikaga Yoshimi every time.

"Ichijun!" Ashikaga Yoshiman spoke slowly, "I want to ask you if you have something!"

As he said that, his eyes became sharp after a smile, "You must not let the envoy of the Ming Kingdom meet the Emperor!"

Yi Jingsi pondered for a moment, "I do my best! However, I believe that the news that the envoy of Ming Kingdom was about to see the Emperor at this time had reached the emperor's ears. Maybe, at this moment, Your Majesty is already preparing to use what kind of etiquette to receive the envoy!"

Although the Emperor has no real power, it is a spiritual symbol of Japan.

Although the shogunate regards the Emperor as a puppet, it is far less than what the powerful ministers of the Celestial Empire did to the Emperor, and they are completely in their own hands. Beside the Emperor, loyal ministers also have their own administrative team.

It’s not that they didn’t learn how to usurp the throne in Japan, but that they have always been in power by nobles. Although the princes fought melee, no one dared to let the royal family bleed.

"Then please tell Your Majesty that he will see the bad things about his envoy!" Ashikaga Yoshima smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is a smart man. What can he get when he sees the envoy of the Ming Kingdom? If he doesn't see him, it means I owe him a favor!"

"I will do my best!" Guan Bai Yijingsi bowed, thought for a while, and said, "But if there is a letter from the Ming Dynasty, it must be reported to Your Majesty."

"I'll give it to you after I've seen it!" said Ashikaga Yoshima.

Yi Jingsi nodded and stopped talking.

Then Ashikaga Yoshiman said to the Persian Yoshimoto, "The envoys of the Ming Dynasty should be greedy and should prepare more gold and silver. Not only to him, but also to everyone in the mission, even the lowest-ranking sergeant, must give him a great gift!"

As he said, thinking, "They came here for a long distance and must be extremely tired. Choose some women and serve them with care!"

"Hayi!" said Spoyi, "I'll do it now!"

Ashikaga Yoshiman turned to look at his son and said again, "Tell your mother, bring Sasaeko to attend the banquet for the Ming Dynasty envoy!" As he said that, he laughed, "I heard that the beauty Sasaki was dispatched to the Yamashita family!"

He shook his head when he said this, "The commander of the Jinyiwei of Ming Dynasty is actually a greedy and lustful person. As long as these two points satisfy him, what reason does he have to make things difficult for us?"

"Father!" As the successor of the next generation, Yoshihiko Ashikaga treated the Ming Dynasty completely different from his father's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty. His father was close to the Ming Dynasty, and he was more vigilant than close to the giant of the Ming Dynasty. He was even a little hostile.

In fact, this is what many people in Japan think in their hearts. Although they say they don’t care for thousands of years, the behemoth that cannot be imagined is close, who can’t be afraid?

"Are you so kind to them?" Ashikaga Yoshiji whispered, "We in Japan are not countries like Goryeo Ryukyu!"

Ashikaga Yoshiman looked at his son, "I asked you to read, have you read it? There is a Chinese saying that if you want to get it, you must first give it. If we want to get something, we must pay the corresponding things!"

"It's just some gold and silver treasures, a woman."

"Isn't it worth using these vulgar things to exchange for the other party's favor?"

As he said that, without waiting for his son to speak, Ashikaga Yoshiman continued, "Do you think that we are so humble, that we lose face. But I tell you that face is false and power is real."

He was teaching his son, and suddenly there were rushing footsteps outside.

A samurai came over sweating profusely, "Lord, something happened!"

"What kind of discipline is it to panic?" Spoyi scolded him.

"The guard of Xinyou and the people of the Ming Kingdom mission... started fighting!" the warrior shouted in panic.

"Nani!" Ashikaga Yoshima was furious in an instant and shouted loudly, "Has he injured someone?"
