The current emperor of Japan is called Emperor Gokabara, an old man in his sixties. Under the threat of the Ming army's military front, he had to rush from Kyoto to Ozawa Castle, and the Muromachi shogunate Yoshiharu was also accompanied by Muromachi Shogunate Yoshiharu.

On the fifth day of the 10th month of the third year of Jiajing, in front of the Lord's Mansion of Ozakashiro, Emperor Hokabara and Shogun Yoshiguchi, the shogun, fell to his knees in the bitter north wind, and kneeled down in front of the Ming envoy Xu Jin. On both sides were full of Ming Dynasty soldiers with live ammunition and murderous intent, and the streets further away were crowded with local people with complex expressions.

Today, Xu Jin wore a scarlet Ming official uniform and held a Ming-Yang imperial edict embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern. He majesticly read out the will of the Ming Emperor, and severely rebuked the Japanese king and shogun for condoning the robbery acts of his own warlords and people plundering the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Gokabara and Shirata Yoshiharu, the shogunate general, did not understand Chinese, but it didn't matter. Both of them were very clever and only made a look of fear and fear, and expressed their guilt on the ground with their foreheads. Then they took the imperial edict from Emperor Jiajing from Xu Jin's hands tremblingly.

After reading the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor, Xu Jin's eyes majestic swept across the Japanese warriors and onlookers around him, all of whom lowered their heads with awe.

Today, Japan is in the Warring States Period when the feudal states were separatist. The emperor only had symbolic meaning. Today, the emperor knelt in front of the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. His image in the minds of the people of his country will probably plummet. On the contrary, the power of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Japanese.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. After two days of negotiations, Emperor Gokabara, who had originally wanted to maintain the last trace of dignity, finally compromised and agreed to ced Kyushu Island and Osumi Island to Daming and compensated 1 million taels of silver. Originally, Xu Jin planned to squeeze out 3 million taels of taels of silver from the Japanese emperor, but unfortunately the puppet emperor was too poor. It was estimated that even if he sold all the valuable items in the royal family, he would not be able to make up 1 million taels. Xu Jin had to give up and let the emperor and shogunate Yoshiguchi together to make up 1 million taels of compensation.

It is said that the area of ​​Kyushu Island accounts for one-tenth of Japan's territory. Now it has been ceased to the Ming Dynasty. Even if a great man is really born in the future and unify the rest of the place, his strength will be greatly reduced. Of course, Xu Jin would not allow such a great man to appear. Moreover, with the influence of the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to build a few equal-sharing forces in Japan. For example, the United States is playing this trick very well, which is nothing more than economic aid and weapon aid.

After getting the Japanese Empress, Xu Jin began to establish the Oriental Protectorate, and Wang Zhi undoubtedly lost his luck and became the first Oriental Protectorate, stationed in Kyushu Island, and took charge of the military and political and legal power. Of course, this is only temporary. Next year, the court will send two civil officials to separate the administrative power and the legal power, so as not to dominate the guardian generals and then gain the power of self-respecting the troops.

Originally, Wang Zhi's resume was not clean, and it was not appropriate to serve as the Protectorate of the East China Protectorate, but now he can't find a better candidate, so he can only deal with it. Anyway, the Protectorate of the Protectorate will be changed every three years, and then he will be replaced. However, it is Xu Jin's negligence today that laid a huge hidden danger for himself and almost caused a disaster. This is a later story, so I won't say it for now.

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon pass by. Before we knew it, it was November of the third year of Jiajing. The northeast monsoon was blowing. It was a good time to return to the Ming Dynasty from Japan. It was also because of this that in the past, Japanese pirates would choose to sail out to sea in winter and run to the Ming Dynasty Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to rob.

However, time has changed, and now Kyushu Island in southwestern Japan has been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Under the attack and constraints of the Ming army, the Japanese no longer have the chance to continue to run to the coast of the Ming Dynasty to rob. Even if there are sporadic fish that escaped the net, it will not become a climate. The Japanese disease that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years has finally been completely cured.

On November 3, Xu Jin, who had arranged everything, finally led the fleet to sail from Osumi Island Port and headed towards the direction of Daming. This time, he was really back with a full load. He obtained more than 1.8 million taels of silver from the Okinawa family, and the Japanese emperor received one million taels of silver. He destroyed the Ouchi family and Hosokawa family and confiscated nearly 2 million taels. In addition, hundreds of thousands taels sent by a group of warlords, a total of more than 5.2 million taels.

Although Xu Jin transported back from Manlaga last time, a considerable portion of it was items, with gold and silver accounting for only about half of it. This time it was different, all of it was white silver. In short, the boy of Emperor Jiajing was afraid that he would even wake up in a dream.

In fact, the more than 5 million taels of silver are just small amounts. If Xu Jin's deployment is followed, the silver produced by Japan will be continuously exported to the Ming Dynasty in the future through "equal trade" to enrich the Ming Dynasty's treasury. It will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to not be prosperous and strong at that time.

The north wind blew, and the fleet blasted its sails down the wind. This time, it took only seven days to cross the East China Sea and return to the coast of Songjiang Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty. The fleet adjusted its course and drove into the estuary of the Yangtze River after half a day, and then went upstream.

On November 12, the third year of Jiajing, Xu Jin led a fleet to the Yangtze River Wharf in Nanjing. The whole city exploded instantly, but saw thousands of heads surging by the river, densely packed with people from the Ming Dynasty who spontaneously left the city to welcome the triumphant army.

The Ming army killed all directions in Japan, not only forcing the King of Japan to kneel down and accompany the crime, but also cede land and pay compensation. The news has long been passed back to the Ming Dynasty. The military and civilians of the whole country are all excited, their blood is boiling, and their pride is overwhelming.

It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 155 years, and its national strength has been declining. Especially after the "Tumu Fort Incident", all the elite troops were lost, and even the emperor was captured by the Wata people. The country's destiny was almost cut off. The morale of the whole country was extremely low. The powerful Ming Dynasty seemed to have become a flower of yesterday and never returned.

However, just last year, Xu Jin, this shining star appeared. Not only did he put down the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop, he also sent troops to restore the country for the Manla family, and now he sent troops to the East, which shocked the Japanese. Moreover, the emperor also shouted the slogan "Those who violate the powerful wise will be punished even if they are far away." The Ming Dynasty, which was so powerful that the four barbarians surrendered, seemed to be back, so both the army and the people were proud and the nation was filled with feelings. Those scholars with high spirits even wrote a lot of passionate frontier poems for this. For a time, the martial spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties seemed to have recovered in the Ming Dynasty.

This time, almost all the officials in Nanjing ran to the dock to welcome Xu Jin, but not many of them had high ranks, because most of the senior officials had already followed Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcon to Anlu Prefecture, Hubei to sacrifice to King Xing Zhu Youzhi.

It is said that Xu Jin went to Japan in late August. Just one month after Xu Jin took the mission, that is, in late September, Zhu Houcong set off from Nanjing and took a boat along the Yangtze River to Anluzhou, Hubei to worship his biological father.

Calculate the time, now Emperor Jiajing has probably finished sacrificing his biological father Zhu Youzhi with the imperial examination ceremony, so what Xu Jin has to do now is to stay in Nanjing, wait for Emperor Jiajing to return from Hubei, and then return the imperial edict. Then the monarch and ministers went back to Beijing along the canal to celebrate the New Year.

This year, I have to live at home. My longing for my wife and children in the capital made Xu Jin want to leave the boy of Emperor Jiajing and return to the capital first. However, this is obviously impossible. If you dare to leave the emperor, you must have ten heads.
