Chapter 124: Foreign Country (2)
As a military advisor and think tank of the famous mountain master, Jia Laoshan Mingzhong Village took a sip of tea.
"I also find it strange! More than ten years ago, when our country of Japan had not yet been unified, Ashikaga Yoshiman, who was entrusted to the Ming Dynasty's tribute, attempting to live the trade authority of the Ming Dynasty. However, he was rejected and denounced by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty said that Ashikaga was just a minister of the Japanese state. At that time, Prince Huailiang of the Southern Dynasty paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and was enthroned as the King of Japan!"
Yamana Shixi nodded, "In the hearts of the Ming emperor and ministers, the king's lineage should not be disturbed! No matter how powerful Ashikaga Yoshiman is, he will be a minister, and he should not be overruled!"
"However, because of the pirate incident, Prince Huailiang and the Ming Dynasty became dirty, which even caused Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty to almost send troops to attack and cut off all trade with us. Then Ashikaga Yoshiman unified the north and south, and once again submitted a letter to surrender. The Ming Dynasty agreed again, and also gave him the title of king!"
Yama Naka Shixi shook his head and said, "This is the power of the Ming Kingdom. They are the upper country, and their words are the orthodox status!"
"However, the trade authority over Ming Dynasty has always been in the hands of Hiroyoshi Ouchi!" Yamae Shigemura said again, "It can be seen that Ming Dynasty was not completely relieved of Ashikaga Yoshiman. The title of the king and the recognition of his status were just for the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"My uncle said this, and the envoy of Mingguo this time..."
"Among the envoys of Ming Dynasty, the guide was the retainer of the famous Yamashita, the samurai, the retainer of the famous Yamashita. On the day he landed, I summoned him privately!" Yamashita Takamura lowered his voice, "Ming Dynasty envoy, this time, came to our Japan country to denounce Ashikari Yoshiman that guy!"
"Oh?" Yamana Toshihi was surprised. "Uncle said this seriously, why didn't he say it earlier?"
"I didn't believe it at first. I asked three Ichiro for several consecutive days and found some clues!" Yamae Shigemura said, "The reason he became the guide of the Ming Kingdom was because our merchant ship was detained by the Ming Kingdom as a pirate. As the captured pirate, he presented it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom!"
"What a lucky guy! I can actually see the emperor of the Ming Kingdom!" Another guardian of Shanming family sighed.
"The emperor of Ming Dynasty hated pirates and met Mixia Ichiro himself. He heard that he was not a pirate, but someone sent by my Yamashita clan, and then asked in person why Yamashita clan did not directly trade with the Ming Dynasty?"
"And among the goods we traded were prohibited from Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked why we wanted to buy Ming Dynasty's weapons!"
"Sanxia Yiro told the Emperor of Ming that now the Japanese amass, Yoshimoto, the superiors do not respect the king, the subordinates do not respect the ministers, the heavens are angry and people complain that the gang will always be destroyed, and the famous people are always ready to raise an army to clear the king's side, so they come to Ming to buy military products!"
Shixi, Yamashita, said, "That guy is really good at talking!"
"The head of the family!" Yamae Shigemura said, "You also know that the Emperor of Ming was the legitimate grandson of Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne. For Emperor Hongwu and the current Emperor of Ming, the orthodox tsunchang cannot be confused. They heard that Ashikaga Yoshima forced the Emperor to recognize his wife as his godmother, and Ryuang was furious! He called out, wasn't it Dong Zhuoza!"
"Hiss!" Yamana Toshihi took a breath, "Dong Zhuo! He is a thief! Ashikaga Yoshiman is Dong Zhuo from my Japan!"
However, he pondered for a moment and pondered, "But the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sent envoys to scold Ashigaki Yoshima with his disgust for Ashigaki Yoshima. Isn't it a bit too arrogant?"
"The two countries have natural barriers. Even if Ashikaga Yoshima doesn't follow Ming, what can I do? And as a superior country, isn't it a bit rude to interfere in the national affairs of the lower country in this way?"
Yamanashi Takamura smiled, "The more disagreement the Ming Kingdom and the Ashikaga Shogunate are, the more beneficial it is for our Yamanashi!" As he said that, he paused, "Head of the Family, think that the Ming Kingdom's envoy is arrogant and thinks that Ashikaga has a disobedient heart. Ashikaga Yoshiman, that guy, will also hate Ming Kingdom!"
"So, will our opportunity come?"
Yama Nakashi Shixi's face turned solemn and he listened with his ears.
"When Ashikaga Yoshiman shows disrespect for the Ming Kingdom, my famous family wrote to Ming Kingdom. The Ming Emperor who had lost face will naturally support us. At that time, not only will the trade authority over the Ming Kingdom, but the strong attack crossbows we need, as well as iron cloth, etc., will also be sent in a steady stream!"
"Search the temple!" Yamana Shishi suddenly realized, "It was still my uncle who could see through it. When the relationship between Mingguo and Ashigaki Yoshiman was bad, it was the opportunity for my Yamata to grow up." As he said, he seemed to figure it out, "Was Mingguo deliberately passed by our territory, right? Is it the idea of supporting us?"
"The head of the family is wise!" said Yamae Shigemura, "The people of Ming Dynasty also have such thoughts!" and smiled, "But what they want is to get close to them and obey their regime!"
"Baga!" Yamashita Toki suddenly said angrily, "Although our Japanese country is complacent, it is not like Goryeo..."
"Auntie (stop talking)!" Shi Xixi from Yamashita said angrily, "You must understand that countries are always the first priority in interests! A qualified head of the family cannot be influenced by emotions!"
"Private Marseille!" Shiyuki kowtowed.
At this time, the voice of a warrior came not far away, "The envoy of the Celestial Empire has arrived!"
~~~~
"I've met the envoy of the Celestial Empire!"
"No need to be polite!"
After another etiquette that gave He Guangyi a headache, both sides separated the host and the host.
Shi Xi and He Guangyi, the master of the mountain master, were on the left and the other on the right. The retainers of the same mountain master, He Guangyi, were on the left and the other on the right. They were all black-haired and dark-eyed, and looked a little similar, but clearly distinguished.
"The head of the family is really happy. He enjoys flowers and drinks tea early in the morning?" Looking at the tea soup with Mo Zilu in front of him, He Guangyi complained, but his face smiled.
"Damn, what have you learned from the Heavenly Dynasty? Learn etiquette? His fucking kowtows were like pounding garlic, and his waist was almost bent! Tea ceremony? What you drink is tea?"
He Guangyi felt in his heart that the other party was not aware of it. Shi Xi at the foot of the mountain smiled, "Your Excellency doesn't know that my ancestors once followed the monks from the Dongtu Tang Dynasty to learn Han classics. The cities and courtyards of famous masters in our mountain, as well as these cherry blossom trees, are all built in the imitation of the Tang Dynasty!"
As he said that, Shan Ming Shixi looked intoxicated, "As the descendants of Shan Ming masters, whenever they sit here, their minds will appear thousands of years ago, when the ancestors in their family sat and discussed the story, and imagined the grand occasion of the heaven!"
He Guangyi smiled and said, "I have heard that among the princes of Japan, the famous mountain masters are the most concerned about etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness. It turns out that it is because of the ancestors who are devoted to Sinology!"
"It's not only about Sinology! There's also Confucian etiquette!" Shi Xi of the Yamashita said, "The famous mountain masters may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of angels, but we always abide by the integrity of ministers and are loyal to the Lord and dare not overthrow it!"
"This is exactly what I admire!" He Guangyi knew that the other party had something in his words and said according to the other party's words. "I heard that the Ashikagi shogunate dominated the country in Japan a few years ago, forcing the Emperor to recognize his wife as his mother. The princes of the Japanese state were silent, but only the famous Yama masters raised their loyalty and resisted unjustly, and Kamchi was heroic!"
As he said that, He Guangyi bowed to the sky, "Your Majesty also sighed at the loyalty and wise spirit of the famous mountain masters!"
"I was actually learned by His Majesty Ming Kingdom. I am ashamed!" said Shixi Shanming, "It's a pity that in that battle, our famous mountain masters were defeated in a crushing battle, and their strength was greatly damaged and they were in a slump. Now they are not as good as before?"
"Oh?" He Guangyi said, "The famous mountain master is a powerful Japanese vassal, how could he be defeated in a miserable way?"
Yama Nakashi Shixi shook his head and said, "Let me tell you about it for the angel!"
"Please!" He Guangyi smiled on his face, and felt a deep complaint in his heart.
"What kind of generation is this? I call Shi Xi's son Shi Xing. Are you both from the Shi generation?"
"On that day, the famous masters of our mountain fought with Ashikaga Yoshima. The princes in the world were divided into two factions. On one side, they supported my family and the Ashikaga Shogunate. The other prince Hiroyoshi Ouchi said he would join forces with us, but he didn't want to turn around and stood on the side of the Ashikaga Shogunate, making the opponent's troops several times that of me!"
"The two armies fought several times in field battles, no victory or defeat. The previous generation of heads and elders of the family led 6,000 troops to attack Kyoto!"
"I met the main force of the shogunate outside Kyoto. Two thousand cavalrymen of our army attacked the Ashikaga camp. Hiroyoshi Ouchi and Akamatsu family could not resist and retreated step by step. But who would have thought that this was Ashikaga Yoshiman's strategy to lure the enemy!"
"When my main force is fully released, Ashikaga Yoshima joins the battlefield with two new forces. Our army is already exhausted and can only be defeated without fighting!"
As he said that, he narrowed his eyes, "But, the samurai masters of my mountain are still extremely brave and killed samurai under Yoshiman Ashikaga, 260 people?"
"What?" He Guangyi was stunned.
"You said it for a long time and it took less than three hundred?" He Guangyi asked in his mind, "Then, how many deaths of the noble family have been in battle?"
Yama Ming Shi was heartbroken, "More than 800 people!"
"Play that!" He Guangyi said in his heart, "After talking about it for a long time, he is still not as good as the two villages fighting in Guangdong and Guangxi!"
