Japanese Kingdom, Kyoto, Back Palace "Do you think this little king of Japan really wants to unite with our father? Is he trying to trick us?"
"Why do I always feel so unreal?"
There are three people in the back hall. They are obviously not Japanese, because they are much taller than the people next to them. The person talking is none other than the third son of Zhu Di. Next to Zhu Gaoshao are his second brother Zhu Gaoxu and his businessman Xu Hu. "What are you worried about? So what if it's fake? Do they still dare to have any plans against us?"
"Furthermore, this little king of the Japanese country obviously wants to seize power. For him, what does it matter if he surrenders to our Ming Dynasty? It's just that there have been some changes in recent years. In the past few dynasties, the country was asking for help. Our Central Plains dynasty has become a vassal state."
Zhu Gaoxu said indifferently.
Although I have little education, I still know some basic historical origins. The Japanese state has been calling itself a vassal state in the Central Plains since the Han and Tang Dynasties, although the Han and Tang Dynasties basically paid little attention to the Japanese state.
After all, in the eyes of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Japanese country was too far away, too remote, and not worthy of jurisdiction. This gave the Japanese country a source of canonization. The origin of the Japanese country originated from the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Guangwu canonized a Han Japanese slave. From then on, the king of Japan was regarded as a member of the Central Plains civilization system. The king of Japan wanted to ask for the support of the Ming Dynasty and seize the power of the shogunate. In Zhu Gaoxu's view, was that an unusual thing?
Even now, the Japanese state is nominally Xiao Ming's minister. Da Mingsui said unexcitedly: "This time we can instigate the Japanese king, whether it is on the father's side or on Xiao Ming's side, it is all a small feat." .”
In the following days, the Japanese king sent warriors to secretly contact the Yan king Zhu Di, hoping to gain support and seize the power of Zutu Ahai.
For that kind of thing, Zhu Di is certainly happy to see it happen, and it will definitely succeed. The entire Japanese country will fall under Xiao Ming's command, and as the king of the Haili vassal, Zhu Di, even if he has made small achievements, the tide will go down. It is said that he can still overpower his little brother. Seventh Brother will definitely win, but there will be a lot of losses.
So I sent my two sons over.
Of course, the two sons are just here to take credit. The real person in charge is Li Yiman. He is the maritime merchant that Zhu Di values most. In recent years, he has been trading under the sea, but it has brought huge benefits to Zhu Di. I am also worried about the two. My son’s safety is in danger. Does Japan have the guts to do something to my son?
Something must have happened, so the entire Japanese country has to be buried with my son. No matter what, Da Mingxu and Tu Aisui are not yet the grandsons of the Xiaoming emperors. When the two princes who have been canonized by your Majesty are talking, Li Yiman Just listen next to me.
Although I am highly regarded by the King of Yan, my status is just that of a maritime merchant. Compared with the two princes, I am very different. I also have the ability to intervene. I am in my early seventies. I am quite skinny, with a not sharp chin, right and left cheekbones. Tall and tall, with a goatee, he looked like an old fox. "He had nothing to say.
Tu Aipi asked Li Yiman casually. Li Yiman quickly said: "Everything depends on the two uncles."
Tu Zao then asked cautiously, "I had originally wanted to deal with Li Yiman, but it must have been told by my father. I felt like I was with such a businessman. In fact, it had been a long time since I lost my relationship, and no servant came."
"I didn't invite the two queens of Xiaoming County to discuss matters.
Daming and others were led by servants to go to the back hall. Although someone called Tori Yoshimitsu, I hurriedly followed.
Before returning to Yancheng, I will give a detailed report to King Yan.
In the back hall, it has never been so quiet before.
Including the former Emperor Ohmatsu, only seven people were there. Obviously, the other seven people had extremely low status and were trusted by the former Emperor Ohmatsu. Otherwise, they would have stayed to meet with Da Mingxu and others. Among those seven people,
There were no two monks with bald heads. As for the fact that there were no two monks, Da Mingxu and others were not surprised that the monks of the Japanese country were very indifferent to participating in politics. Moreover, we also have some rules and regulations. We also cannot marry and have children. We have no time to go there.
Outside the temple, you can also see a monk playing with his son, which really opened the eyes of Tu Ai and others.
Temples were also a very small force in Japan.
A small number of temples do not have their own monk soldiers except for shaving their heads. What is the difference between Japanese monks and special families? Even temples cannot be inherited by families.
"I was able to get help from Prince Yan that time. The king doubts that he will be able to correct the chaos. As long as Prince Yan is willing to send troops to help you, your Majesty will definitely disappoint Prince Yan."
Before the polite exchange, the former Emperor Ohmatsu said without any urgency, with a very unconfident tone, because just now, I have not received the commitment of ten nicknames, although those nicknames are comparable to the Takeuchi clan.
Although the power of the former Emperor Omatsu's master was not less than 100,000.
Those troops are located in Kyoto and can play a very small role.
After hearing this, Da Mingxu said directly: "That's a bad idea, but the Japanese king should also know that the court is asking your father to send troops carefully. This is tantamount to following the court's decision. If you do, you will be punished beforehand."
"Otherwise, I have no idea whether the 700,000 taels of silver promised by the Japanese king should be given to you first, and it will be counted as the second time."
The request from the former Emperor Ohmatsu was naturally for King Yan to bring his army to Kyoto Prefecture.
Instead, they stocked up troops at the border gate on Honshu Island to put pressure on the Ashibakeuchi clan. The worst-case scenario was to have the Ashibakeuchi clan go to the border gate in person so that the former Emperor Omatsu could steal from the front.
Outside Kyoto, there is also the small base camp of the Ashibakeuchi clan.
The former Emperor Omatsu didn't hesitate when he heard this. I was afraid that King Yan took the money to do something, and he couldn't make a decision in his heart, so he had to look at the other seven people.
All seven people nodded.
Anyway, we paid for the money. Even if King Yan swallowed it, the blame was placed on us. If it was given to us, it seems that King Yan really knows how to send troops. Emperor Omatsu saw that all seven of them refused, so he took the throne.
Said: "No, let's do it according to the wishes of the prince. The matter was settled, and everyone was relieved. Damingxu got 700,000 taels of silver, and the former Emperor Ohmatsu also got a promise. That matter can only be
Orally, it is possible to sign documents and the like. If it is in the interest of both parties, if it is unintentional, the cooperation will naturally retreat as promised. Next, Emperor Omatsu arranged a program for Dai Ming and others.
The handsome Japanese man walked back. There were not many shrine attendants outside, which made Damingxu and others feel very weak about participating. "Xiao Ming's prince has not left yet."
Returning to the Young General's Pavilion, he had now left Kyoto Prefecture and said, "Let's end it now and let our Emperor become more confused.
Inside the shogunate.
Ashibakeuchi gave an enthusiastic order, saying that since Prince Xiaoming crossed the border, his whereabouts were not in the hands of the Ashibuchi clan, not to mention that the former Emperor Omatsu had prepared hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
You must know that Kyoto Prefecture is the small base of the Ashibakeuchi clan. The young former Emperor Omatsu thought that those things were perfectly fine, but in fact, every move was under the supervision of the Ashtakeuchi clan.
Nearly half of the Japanese men who came to the palace to cheer for Prince Xiaoming were all spies of the Ashibakeuchi clan. While Emperor Omatsu was still celebrating outside the palace, a small number of samurai had not yet finished gathering at the entrance of the palace.
"Come here. What are they going to do? That's the Emperor's palace outside."
When the palace guards on duty saw so few people, they immediately became upset and quickly closed the small door of the palace. "According to the order of the Young General's Pavilion, His Majesty the Emperor was deceived by a monster. You are ordered to eliminate the monster. You will open the city as soon as possible."
Door."
The leader, General Gokomatsu, whispered to the guards at the palace gate. Seeing this, the chief of guards at the palace gate immediately replied: "You are the guards of the palace, and you are disobeying the orders of Emperor Tsuji.
.”
The palace gate will definitely be opened today, and you will immediately tell the Emperor that the palace gate is closed. Obviously, it will be difficult to seize the palace in one fell swoop.
If the time drags on for a long time, it will be so bad.
The general who was the leader did not relax at all, he just looked at the captain of the guard under the palace gate with a warm smile. At that moment, the captain of the guard suddenly felt a chill on his front and back, and suddenly there was a sharp pain. He turned around and saw
He is his adjutant.
"I'm sorry, you are from the Young General's Pavilion.
The sudden change caused the guards at the palace gate to be at a loss and "immediately open the city gate and welcome the troops from the young general's pavilion into the palace."
The samurai sword in his hand was stained with blood, and the captain of the guard was still alive at the moment. The adjutant whispered to the surrounding guards and then some of the guards who followed the adjutant immediately went to open the palace door.
The rest of my bodyguards watched with helpless eyes. The subordinates were not dead yet. We seemed to know what to do. After all, the majesty of the General's Pavilion was still very weak. There were not many warriors who came. There were only about 7,000 warriors.
, but there were only a thousand people outside the entire palace. The most important thing was that out of the thousands of people, less than half of them were foot-stained men. Very slowly, the small hall of the palace was surrounded by people before Emperor Osomatsu had even entered.
After receiving the news, I never thought that the Ashibakeuchi clan dared to directly threaten the palace to kill himself.
At this moment, the former Emperor Ohmatsu was so frightened that he was trembling at the thought that he might be killed, and Ashikaga Yoshimichi, whom he had accepted as the successor, was removed from the list of emperors.
"Hou Xiaosong, it's him!"
The former Emperor Osomatsu mustered up the courage to go forward, preserved a trace of dignity and knelt down in front of His Highness, waiting for those who were trying to force him to retreat. The leader among them was very unfamiliar to me, and it was none other than Gokomatsu.
The nickname that promised to follow him after ten days, "It turns out that he betrayed you."
The former Emperor Omatsu gritted his teeth. Fortunately, I really thought that Komatsu had taken refuge with me. It turned out that all that was just a pretense. Komatsu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you followed the order of the young general.
, I just met His Majesty."
The former Emperor Ohmatsu said warmly: "He acted so badly, I never imagined that you had been kept in the dark all this time.
After hearing those words, Xiaosong was actually not a little embarrassed. This was all an act, and he appeared in his true colors. "Your Majesty, I'm offended,"
Hou Xiaosong wanted to say less, because saying less would make the young general dislike him.
He shouted: "Right and left, clear away the monsters around His Majesty the Emperor."
Massacres all times.
A small number of Japanese warriors began to carry out small-scale killings of the guards, palace men, and servants outside the palace.
The former Emperor Ohmatsu just watched helplessly as his male officers, bodyguards, servants, and Touji were killed in small numbers.
But at that time, the former Emperor Ohmatsu was so frightened that he dared to say anything.
The royal palace of Japan was not considered small.
Compared with Xiao Ming, even the mansions of some wealthy businessmen may be far behind, so the killing action came very slowly.
The emperor himself has never controlled a small amount of military power in the past, so he has almost no ability to resist. "Help His Majesty the Emperor clean up the palace in a bad way."
Hou Xiaosong said with a smile, then turned and left.
No matter how you say it, the emperor is the spiritual symbol of Japan.
Unless the young general did it in person, no matter how much he thought of it in his heart, the emperor did not take any action.
After the shogunate, Komatsu reported the news of the cleansing of the palace to the Ashibunei clan. The Ashibunei clan just nodded slightly. In my opinion, it was basically a matter of calling a young man. At the same time that the palace was being cleaned, the monks and soldiers of several temples, not including the seven
All the minor families were surrounded and killed by the Ashibunei clan's small army.
That was tantamount to the forces that surrendered to the emperor being completely eradicated. The actions of the former Emperor Osomatsu were watched by Atsutsu Aomi all the time. They just waited for that time to launch an attack. "In the little general's pavilion, Xiao Ming's two princes, we are leading
I walked away with 700,000 taels of silver and reached an agreement with His Majesty the Emperor.
Xiao Ming Yan Wang will personally lead the troops to the border to put pressure on you and force the young general to go back. Hou Xiaosong told the Ashibakei clan everything he knew from the emperor.
In fact, Ashtakeuchi had not known about those things through other channels for a long time. It was only in his eyes that he hesitated for a few times before the young general spoke. After that, Komatsu could only remain silent for a long time. Ashtakeuchi
As if he had made up his mind, he said: "Notify all the small names, organize the small armies and prepare for war. "That is your opportunity, and it is also the opportunity given to you by His Majesty the Emperor."
"We will definitely be able to win the war with King Yan of Xiaoming. Then your Japanese country will no longer be like it is now."
There was a bit of madness in Ashibuchi's tone.
The Japanese country is too strong now. In the battle with Xiao Ming, it has never achieved anything. I need a victory to stabilize my reputation. Now is a bad opportunity, because if Xiao Ming, King Yan, is not prepared for the war,
, just as a show, the Takeuchi family had to follow the small army and deploy the war against Xiao Ming Yan King. Now the country did not have a small enough number of firearms, and Xiao Ming Yan King had tens of thousands of troops, and they were all hopeless.
