I have to say that with such an emperor on the stall, both humans and ghosts below are in despair!
They were all crushed no matter what.
No matter how hard you try, it's all his fault in the end. He stands like a mountain above your head, and everyone can only crawl underneath.
Even Zhu Di.
So what about a generation of heroes?
Your dad is still your dad after all!
but……
This is none of Yang Feng’s business!
He just came here to satisfy his own special hobby. This family game between father and son has nothing to do with outsiders like him. The transfer of vassals is a family matter of the emperor and has nothing to do with the people of Ming Dynasty, let alone him.
This foreign envoy, and watching the interaction between their father and son, Yang Feng's dark psychology is actually very happy.
Emperor Hongwu vs. Emperor Yongle!
Chongjin.
A large army has already gathered here.
There were numerous warships on the sea and numerous flags on the shore.
That small castle had long been unable to accommodate the legion, which numbered more than 100,000, so there were military camps everywhere along the coast. However, the Wudiha were shocked. It was their first time to see the Ming Empire in its top state, and they waited on it with trembling trembling.
This army came from afar.
Pick up trash by the way.
Like the sticks guarding outside Dad's military camp.
But they were not picking up food scraps, they were picking up scraps of iron, scraps of cloth and the like that had been discarded by the soldiers.
This is also a treasure for them who don’t have iron smelting or textiles!
In short, they gained a lot from picking up garbage.
After all, the size of this army is too large compared to their population.
"Your Majesty, I met you last time, and today I finally get to see you!"
Yang Feng looked at Li Chenggui enthusiastically.
The King of Korea of the Ming Dynasty stood humbly next to King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and even took a half step back. Today was the last meeting before the expedition. As one of the three kings participating in the battle, Li Chenggui, of course, also wanted to come, but he and Zhu
Planting is all about logistics.
It was King Yan who went on the expedition.
At this time, Li Chenggui, who had been promoted to the king of Joseon, had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Historically, he has always been a temporary worker who had the power to know the state affairs of North Korea. It was his son Li Bangyuan who was awarded the title of King of North Korea. His father and son also had several other sons who were also quite capable. The family fought among themselves and even killed each other, to a large extent.
The reason is that he has always been a powerful person who knew the state affairs of North Korea and could not get real support from Zhu Yuanzhang. But now, with a series of actions that can be called traitorous, he finally got this title...
It is indeed a traitor.
After all, North Korea has abolished its own currency and fully uses banknotes.
They also gave in on the Halandian issue, allowing the Ming Dynasty's border to cross the Tumen River to the south, and also established the Chongjin fortress. The area that North Korea had originally taken advantage of in history was completely returned to the Ming Dynasty.
And it’s not just here.
Zhu Yuanzhang also forced him to open ports at many places along the coast.
supply.
Ming Dynasty warships could dock for supplies.
Of course, none of this is worth mentioning to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang endorsed him. The most important thing was that he changed from a temporary worker to a real king.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Li Chenggui looked at him with a smile.
"I am Yang Feng, has the king forgotten?"
Yang Feng said with a deep smile.
The smile on Li Chenggui's face instantly froze, but he reacted quickly, and then stepped forward like a spring breeze, but Yang Feng did not salute him, but just extended his hand to him...
"Your Majesty, with your permission, Ambassador Yang performs the Daxia etiquette. Even when meeting His Majesty, there is no need to kowtow. If the Daxia etiquette is equal, a handshake can be used. North Korea is a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Daxia and Ming Dynasty are equal, so
Joseon is lower than Daxia, the king is the king of Joseon, and Ambassador Yang is just an envoy, so the king and the ambassador treat each other as equals."
Yang Wen explained.
This theory is already very complete.
The Ming Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty were equal, but in the Ming Dynasty all vassals were ministers.
So it is lower than Daxia.
But the king is the king after all, and must be higher than the envoys, so the two are even. This also applies to all vassal kings. The vassal king is also a king and a vassal of the Ming Dynasty...
In fact, even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this bastard would not kneel down and worship his son, he would just find a reason to forcefully explain.
It's not that he can't convince Yang Feng.
He is reasonable.
Li Chenggui nodded in relief, and then he quickly shook hands with Yang Feng.
"Ambassador, thank you for what happened last time. Xiao Wang has always been grateful."
he said.
Of course it was Yang Feng who helped him last time.
If Yang Feng hadn't helped him advance the gold, Wudiha and other troops would have gone to Kaicheng. It was Ambassador Yang who advanced the gold to him, and then Wudiha was allowed to withdraw his troops. As for the woman he gave to Ambassador Yang, and Wudiha were actually
Yang Feng brought it, so just ignore it. Everyone is sensible and there is no need to mention such emotionally hurtful things.
What Udiha did he bring?
Wu Diha went south by himself, he just happened to follow.
What kind of daughter-in-law?
nonsense!
It was obviously Li Chenggui who sent some slaves to thank Yang Feng for mediating between him and Wu Diha.
“It’s just a piece of cake!”
Yang Feng said like a true diplomat.
Next to him, Zhu Di quietly watched their acting. It must be said that everyone is an actor.
At this moment, a series of sedan chairs came behind Li Chenggui...
Box.
Their sedan chair can only weigh boxes.
In this way, a series of boxes were carried over and put down, and the curtains inside were opened. One by one, the little beauties looked outside in fear. They walked out cautiously at the urging of the shrew next to them. They were all fourteen or fifteen years old. Not to mention stunning beauties, at least they were beautiful.
She is on the same level as Yang Feng's most beautiful adopted daughters, and there are even two of them who are indeed stunning beauties.
Even so!
Don't ask too much of them.
"Brother Wang, what is this?"
Zhu Di said doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, this is what the little king has dedicated to your Majesty and the King of Liao. The country is poor and has no gift, so these are just some maidservants for the king to clean up."
Li Chenggui said hurriedly.
He is a smart man and knows his identity.
Moreover, in the past two years when Zhu Di was guarding Huining, all the Wudiha were subdued, and his behavior was strictly restricted, and they were prohibited from crossing the border again, which indeed saved him from harassment. He was grateful to Zhu Di, and he saw it from King Yan.
A different Ming Dynasty.
"Brother Wang, please worry!"
Zhu Di said.
This is accepted.
"Your Majesty, North Korea is an external vassal, and your Majesty is an internal vassal. There are differences between the inside and outside. It may be inappropriate to grant and receive privately."
Yang Wen said very ignorantly.
"The Governor is overly worried, they are just a few maids."
Li Chenggui said quickly.
Zhu Di said nothing.
"King?"
Yang Wen reminded him again very naively.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Of course, Yang Wen meant well, because private contact between inner and outer vassals was taboo, and private exchanges and exchanges were even more prohibited. Although there were indeed just a few women, the personal contact between inner and outer vassals was still taboo.
Even if Zhu Di is the son of the emperor, it won't work, at least not until Zhu Yuanzhang is informed and approved. However, Zhu Di's face is obviously not good-looking. Yang Wen is doing bad things with good intentions. Zhu Di doesn't want several women. This is an insult to Li Chenggui.
This promise was that he would be friendly with Li Chenggui, so Zhu Di was really thinking about his future.
"Your Majesty, please think again."
Yang Wen said.
"Which one, don't you have my share?"
Suddenly a voice sounded.
Li Chenggui looked at Yang Feng in shock.
"Your Majesty, don't you have my share?"
Yang Feng said very purely.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Chenggui said obviously speechless.
"Then I will choose one from among them. Come on, little beauty, you are mine!"
Yang Feng said and immediately picked up the most beautiful one. Because the latter was too light and he was used to carrying a belt, he carried it in his hand like a cat by the scruff of its neck.
"In this case, it is also the King of Korea's kindness. Let's choose one each. This one will be left for the fifteenth brother."
Zhu Di pointed to the remaining one who was slightly less beautiful and said.
Then he did not participate in the partition and left obviously unhappy.
Li Chenggui stood there awkwardly.
He should have realized he made a mistake.
The generals happily divided up the remaining ones. They were not vassal kings, so they didn't need to care about anything. Yang Feng carried the little beauty and walked to Yang Wen and winked. The latter silently walked aside with him...
…
"What does the king mean? He should not be greedy for beauty, not to mention that internal and external vassals are not allowed to give or take privately. This is common sense. If Li Chenggui doesn't understand it, he doesn't understand it. Doesn't he understand it too?"
Yang Wen said.
"Don't you really know?"
Yang Feng said.
Yang Wen fell silent.
"You don't care about anything else, just do your duty!"
He said slowly.
"Then I have nothing to say, but thank you!"
Yang Feng looked at the little beauty in his hand with satisfaction.
The latter was blinking at him. Although he was holding her by the waist, she was obviously very satisfied. After all, compared to the other generals, Yang Feng's image was still in line with her expectations. But this one was indeed considered a beauty, after all, she was also Li Chenggui.
In order to curry favor with Zhu Di, Yang Feng had already robbed Zhu Di of two women. Although he had good intentions this time, it was just to save himself from this embarrassing situation.
"Little beauty, how old are you?"
Yang Feng said.
"Slave family fourteen!"
The little beauty actually understood Chinese, and she responded with a sweet reply.
Yang Feng threw it to the ground sadly.
beach.
The little beauty quickly got up and looked at him obviously confused.
"Which ship is mine?"
Yang Feng asked.
Yang Wen smiled and pointed to Dai Gui not far away on the boat, who was looking over here.
"You can't change me to someone else. I'm tired of looking at his face all the time."
Yang Feng said.
"He was appointed by His Majesty."
Yang Wen said.
Yang Feng grabbed the little beauty's head and turned her eyes away from him to Dai Gui.
"Did you see that guy holding something? Go to him and ask him to arrange a place for you. Just say I asked you to go."
he said.
The little beauty left quickly. When she passed the little sisters who were cared for by the old man, her steps were obviously much lighter.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng and Yang Wen walked into Qingjin Fort. This place has been upgraded to a Qianhu Guard Station. Although it is a Qianhu Station, it is not under the Guards, but directly under the Capital Command and Envoy Division, so it is also under the Huining Capital.
The garrison commanding the Envoy Division will still be those left by Yang Wen at the beginning, that is, each of them was given an adopted daughter by Yang Feng, but it will be expanded to a real thousand households in the future.
It doesn't matter now, after all there are hundreds of thousands of troops here.
garrison mansion.
"Your Majesty, this is the landing point.
The plan discussed by His Majesty and me is to make a large-scale landing in this area, and the place where the Ashikaga clan started is Kamakura. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's cousin is currently in charge of Kamakura, so after we land, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will definitely go north with all his strength.
To fight, what we need is to defeat him in one battle.
Then force them to surrender.
Of course, surrender does not mean that they go to the capital to pay tribute and then kneel down to worship His Majesty.
That way there's no need to fight.
Now they can.
After surrendering, they must pay a sufficient amount of gold and silver to the Ming Dynasty every year, abolish the original currency, use the Ming Dynasty currency, abolish their arrogant emperor, and accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty Japanese King. They must also accept the demarcation given to them by His Majesty.
, that is, this line. The north of this line does not belong to them. Instead, the imperial court established a Fusang capital command and envoy department. Then the imperial court followed the Huining example and stationed a small number of military households there, and granted the title of hereditary title to the local tyrants.
Command, once the Japanese country betrays the Ming Dynasty, the garrison here can directly go south to attack.
Of course, if they really garrisoned troops, they would not betray the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Feng said to the map.
This is of course the artist's drawing based on the map of his watch.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang relies entirely on this.
As for the line Zhu Yuanzhang drew for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it was actually the Tone River.
The north belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the south belonged to the Japanese state.
Then, grant officials to the local daimyo, turning them from the daimyo of Japan into the hereditary commanders of the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, their original territories will also become Jiwei, or they can be changed to chieftains.
It doesn't matter, even if you just give the Uesugi clan a Fuso consolation envoy, they are the strongest in that area anyway.
But the Ming Dynasty had to garrison troops.
That is to say, a real territorial defense system was established in the Sado Island and Niigata areas.
No more, just one guard is enough.
Then the Fusang Capital Command and Envoy Department was established to use this guard as a bridgehead to control other supervisory officials and let them come in when something happened.
Do not listen?
Then it was time for Ming troops to land continuously from this bridgehead.
In this way it was enough to control the Japanese state.
Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang was really not interested in their weak points. Their value to Zhu Yuanzhang was to provide stable gold and silver coins. They controlled the Fusang Commandery just to make them obedient. After all, in the future, the continuous mining of gold and silver would easily make them lose money.
Reasonably, you must know that His Majesty the Emperor is not prepared to pay too much for this. From now on, he will just provide some technical personnel. From now on, mining and smelting will be Japan's own business. Their responsibility is to maintain gold and silver mining and pay enough quota every year. This is their responsibility.
The duty of a minister.
To put it simply, it is free prostitution.
His Majesty the Emperor's favorite.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu needed to support tens of thousands of off-duty workers himself, and then hand over the hard-earned gold and silver to Ming Dynasty. If he did not pay enough, he would have to face the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor.
but……
If he becomes a gold and silver slave honestly, then His Majesty the Emperor can guarantee that he will be hereditary.
If anyone dares to rebel against him, the emperor will stand up for him.
As for Zhu Di's move to the vassal, at least when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he really would not consider it. He himself said that at his age, he did not want to make it troublesome to meet a son in the future. He just paved the way for Zhu Yunxi to move.
Whether it is a vassal state or a vassal state, it is all Zhu Yunxi's business.
