Chapter 1,526: Send the Ming delegation, the tribute of the country
The sea was clear and Ningbo Port was open, and the past was lost. Under the guidance of several water diversion boats, eight large tributes and ships with shogunate flags slowly leaned towards the port.
The Sun and Moon Flag of the Ming Navy fluttered high, and nearly forty large sea patrol ships lined up on both sides, vaguely surrounding the tribute fleet of the people in the center. At this moment, the tiger squat cannons and crossbows on the large sea patrol ships,
The fully armed officers and soldiers of the garrison all expressed a silent vigilance and deterrence.
"Oh! The rules of Ming Dynasty are so great! We sent so many naval ships to intercept them, and we stopped in the sea for two days, and then forced our ship to inspect and confiscate our bows and knives... This was simply a shogunate palace
The tribute fleet was dealt with as pirates!"
"Ha! Guangxiu, Ming Guo has always been doing this. The more official the matter is, the greater the rules, and he is afraid of any trouble! When you arrive in Ningbo, it is not like the Tang ship who comes to Sakai Port, you can dock at will...
After coming down, Ningbo guards the Grand Prix, the angel of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, came with the emperor's edict and ceremonial war, we had to get off the ship and bow three times to receive the order as a vassal envoy…”
The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Yoshio Shouhong, was wearing a shogunate uniform and a long hat, and stood at the bow of the flagship "Tenlongji Temple". He smiled kindly and looked at the complaining retainers of the Hosokawa clan, and the young fleet "non-commissioned officer" Miyoshi
Light show.
According to the practice of tomorrow's tribute, each time the tribute fleet sent will be sent to send an envoy of Ming, each with one deputy envoy, one or two non-commissioned officers, and several translation affairs.
Among them, the Ming envoys and the deputy envoys of Ming were usually selected from the shogunate and the court, usually from the "Wushan Zen Temple" around Kyoto. Yaofu Shouhuang was born in the Wushan Zen Temple, who was not only proficient in Tang Dynasty literature.
The family is also very noble, and he is a real court official.
As for "seating", it is a "civilian position", which is usually held by monks. "Non-commissioned officer" is a "military position", which tends to be held by samurai. This time, the Kanhe tribute trade was under the banner of the Ashigaki shogunate, but it was actually
The 400 elite samurai who were the Hosokawa clan behind the scenes were also drawn out by the Hosokawa clan.
Therefore, the "non-commissioned officer" of the tribute fleet was a mid-level retainer named Miyoshi Mitsuhide, trusted by the Hosokawa clan. This time, the "living" in the fleet was handed over to the Tiantai Sect, who took out the most gold and silver.
The "local tyrant" Kiyoshi Morino...
"Of course, Minami-hide, you represent Hosokawa Guanjun, and are not sending the Ai Zheng or the Deputy Envoy... If you don't want to kneel down to the Ai people, you can also be ill on the boat and not get off the boat..."
The envoy Yaofu Shouhuang smiled gently and gave a kind proposal. Miyoshi Guangxiu was silent for a moment, then looked at the other side, wearing a monk's robe, and was looking at Ningbo Port, and asked solemnly.
"Senju sat, are you going to get off the boat and bow to the Ming people?..."
"ah?…"
Kiyo Morino was stunned for a moment and looked at Mitsuhide Mitsuhide with a serious face. Then, he touched his nose and smiled silently.
"With the Buddha's witness! I naturally want to get off the boat with a simple official Guangxiu... This Shili Ming Street in Ningbo is a prosperous city, the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty! I have read the classics of many Buddhist temples for a long time.
I will go to see you one by one..."
"As for kneeling down to the Ming people, it is not a big deal. This worship is also the ceremonial guard of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not those eunuchs... The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty expelled the Yuan bandits and was rich in the world. He was a great figure like the reincarnation of the Ming King, and was born with the Buddha's brilliance.
For the good deeds of tribute, I worshipped the previous one naturally only had full benefits and no harm... When we arrived at Shuntian Mansion, it is said that we had to bow three times and nine times, and repeatedly bowed to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in front of all officials.
…”
"... Three kowtows and nine bows?!... Buddha! Since you all got off the boat, I can only get off the boat! I want to take a good look at what their 'samurai' looks like in the so-called powerful Ming Kingdom!...
”
"Haha! Senju, where did you hear that Ningbo is the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty?"
Hearing Kiyoshi Morino's reply, the non-commissioned officer Miyohide gritted his teeth and sent Ming to envoy Yaofu Shouhuang to chuckle. Kiyoshi Morino blinked, pointed to the continuous high-rise buildings on the shore, and replied with a smile.
"'The great room of the high palace in Ningbo is connected by the shore. Those with purple stones as pillars are almost half of them, and the wonders and scenery cannot be recorded.'... This is naturally the first-class city in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Oh! It turns out that Morijuku Sai also read "Daihailu" by the Korean Choi Bo? This is a new book that was just released two years ago. It was sent from Miura Waka to Sakai Port and was only circulated among the few ministers in Kyoto... Morijuku...
I am knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but I am presumptuous…”
The envoy Yaofu Shouhuang was a little surprised and secretly looked up at the rich merchant under the Tiantai Sect. Kiyoshi Morino said ashamed. If it weren't for the chief of Shanta Gold to seek Ming Dynasty's classics, he wouldn't have bought these new and old ones.
Different "Tang Books" are even more impossible to read North Korea's new "Drifting Sea Record" during its leisure journey north.
"Amitabha! We will stay in Ningbo for three months, sell the attached goods, and then go north to Shuntian Prefecture Capital along the Grand Canal to meet the Ming Dynasty. On the way, Hangzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture.
And Yingtian Prefecture, which can only pass by far, is all the prosperous cities that are better than Ningbo! And the end of this tribute road, Shuntian Prefecture Capital City, is ten times the size of Luojing, the real world's state office, the world
The first place to flourish!…”
Speaking of the Ming capital of Shuntian Prefecture, Yaofu Shouhuang showed sincere longing on his face, full of yearning for the Ming Dynasty. The so-called "Shangluo", "Shangluo", and the "Luojing" mentioned by the kings and ministers are naturally the "Luojing" of the country.
Kyoto. In fact, the official name of Kyoto is now completely copied from the "Luoyang" of the Tang Dynasty.
As a monk who was born into a noble family, the Han culture education that Yaofu Shouhuang received since childhood has always been deeply imprinted in his heart. This kind of majesty that the central court gathered wealth in the world and ruled the world was also shrunk in Kyoto.
The court and the poor ministers in the court of the country, dreaming of the poor.
"Not bad!'The southeast is beautiful, the three Wushu metropolis, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.'... The prosperous cities of the Ming Dynasty are so numerous and large in scale, which is really awesome and yearn for! Unfortunately, we can only follow the tribute regulations.
We can walk on the canal and we can’t travel to other big cities. Only this city with tall buildings and unlimited scenic spots is where we can have enough time to visit and find opportunities in front of the Buddha…”
Kiyoshi Morino looked at the Ningbo port and sighed in agreement. As a disciple of Tiantai who had read the Tang Dynasty, he could understand this kind of myth that is common among the kingdoms and ministers.
Since the Mongol Yuan conquered the Southern Song Dynasty, representing the orthodox destiny, and after the failure of the Eastern Expeditions of Heguo, the Heguo has completely independent from the political and military aspects of the vassals in the Tang and Song dynasties. However, he was separated from the Han cultural circle.
Cultural admiration is still rooted in the hearts of the upper class nobles of Iwai, maintaining substantial cultural vassals and worship. From the Heian era to today, the nobles of the upper class were proud of learning Tangwen and Tangyan. Until the establishment of the Edo Shogunate
,The Ming and Qing Dynasties changed, and after Zhu Shunshui crossed the east to the country, this cultural filter of the Celestial Kingdom was shattered...
As for the moment, the Wu family Sanhao Mitsuhide next to him widened his eyes, staring at two "cultural people" who know Tangwen, and saying "Tangwen poems" that he couldn't understand, the shame of the "vulgar Wu family" appeared on his face.
But soon, he gritted his teeth again and looked carefully at the Ming Dynasty inspectors who were named "guards" on both sides of the fleet, but actually "supervised", and looked at the large ships with a large number of two or three thousand
The Ming officers and soldiers of the man said angrily.
"Ha! Although these Ming navy members are powerful and have many large ships... but the 'samurai' on the ships look like they are completely different from elites and have no momentum at all! ... I see, the Ming people are
Relying on this is just a lot of ships and people! If you really want to jump to the side of the sword and spear, these Ming people's naval forces, even five times more than us, may not be my Hosokawa Samurai! …”
"Haha! No. Servant Mitsuhide, you're obsessed! These Ming people's navy were originally from coastal garrisons, equivalent to peasant soldiers recruited by the tyrants from all over the country... And the ones on our tribute fleet were all Hosokawa-guards.
The elite flag book mobilized by the leader...how can this be compared?"
Hearing Mitsuhide Mitsuhide's self-talk, Yaofu Shouhuang smiled and shook her head, sighing at the fighting with the national martial arts family. Even in the face of a giant like the Ming Dynasty, a little non-commissioned officer from the Hosokawa clan could do it.
Have ridiculous ambition to compete for courage? It is really a fearless person.
"Amitabha! The Ming people in the wealthy Jiangnan never set up samurai flags, but only had many garrisons and hundreds of thousands of peasants. And their real 'flagship warriors' were also tens of thousands of garrisons and stationed in tens of thousands
On the nine northern borders... According to the records of Ming envoys sent by all dynasties, the "flag-born warriors" who fought against the Yuan gangs every year along the Great Wall in the north are the real elites of the Ming Dynasty!..."
"Guangxiu, when we arrive at Shuntian Prefecture during the winter solstice... you will see the real elite soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, especially those Ming Kingdom horses that are riding horses and unstoppable, returning to the crowd!"
"...The Ming Dynasty horses returned to the crowd?!"
In the vast and solemn Ningbo port, the Heguo envoys on the tribute fleet were chatting, but there were more and more Ming flags on the shore. First, there were the blue-bottom flags of the "Yin County County Office", and then the "Mingzhou County Office".
The green-bottomed flag then appeared the black-bottomed flag of the "Zhejiang Administration and the General Office", one side is bigger than the other and the other side is taller than the other.
When the Minghuang banner, which was the highest and largest, symbolizing the emperor's presence, appeared in the distance, the Ming envoy Yaofu Shouhuang finally shuddered and took everyone off the boat, welcomed him to look down and wait.
"Senju sat down, the meeting gift prepared for the guardian magistrate?..."
"It's already wrapped, and I put two gold cakes weighing a pound. I carefully packed them in a silk bag. It looks a little small and inconspicuous..."
"Hiss! Two golden cakes?! It's okay... no, it's so great! Senju is so generous! "
Soon, the bright yellow flag came, and the sharp and majestic voice resounded throughout the Ningbo port. Officials at all levels bowed and ordinary people knelt down. And the tribute missions of the state came forward respectfully
, kneel down to pay homage to the high emperor's flag!
"The Holy Emperor is here! The shogunate tribute mission, Yaofu Shouhuang/Morino Kiyoshi/Miyoshi Mitsuhide, kowtow to the flag of the Emperor of Ming!..."
After a visit from the envoys of the vassal state, Lin Huai, the chief magistrate of Ningbo, weighed the extremely heavy silk bag in his sleeve, and a surprise flashed across his face. Then, he showed a warm smile and glanced at him.
The "sensible" "Monster of Heguo" glanced at the "Sensible" and said with a smile to the Zhejiang governor Wang Zhe who was not in trouble.
"Okay! All the envoys are really considerate!... Lord Wang, why not let the people below count the tribute and do their jobs carefully for the emperor... And you and these envoys from the vassal states go with our family to Jia in the city
Rest in the hotel and drink tea?..."
"Well. As for the words of Yilin Prison... The tribute from the vassal states has always been the internal affairs of the Maritime Bureau. The magistrate only needs to take care of some people, ships and cargoes, and there will be no trouble... As for specific contact, if you are in the official business, you will not
Participated in person!”
Zhejiang governor Wang Zhe politely returned the courtesy, maintaining an appropriate and distant distance, saying goodbye to this "Lin Dajian". Before leaving, he was meaningful, and looked at the "translation news" left behind, and respectfully silenced.
Shi Wende. Then, just like when he was a Tathagata, he got on the official sedan chair in a steady manner. With hundreds of people surrounding him, he left with a brilliant flag~~
