Although Yu Zhouwen believed that His Majesty asked the soldiers in the guard station to practice walking in step and walking in step to inspire the students in the martial arts hall, in fact Yunxi didn't think that much. He just wanted to promote walking in step and walking in step.
So even after he heard what Jin Yiwei was reporting to Yu Zhouwen and Zheng Xuan behind closed doors in the martial arts hall, he just smiled and continued to write the order he wanted to issue.
After writing it, Yunxi said to Wang Xi: "Ask Yang Shiqi to polish it a little more, and order the guards to go to Wuzhong's mansion to deliver the order."
The king agreed and went to the side hall with the edict in hand. Yunxi stretched his body, got up and went to Kunning Palace.
During the meal, Xiyao said: "Husband, the King of Qin intends to betroth his second sister to Song Sheng's second son Song Hu. This was mentioned in the family letter written by Qin Princess Liu to me. What do you think, husband?"
"Song Sheng's second son Song Hu?" Yunxi pondered: "Is he following Song Sheng in Hami now?"
"Husband, the King of Qin intends to change Hami to Yiwu according to the old name of the two Han Dynasties." Xiyao said.
"It's settled that Hami will change Yiwu. Just ask Shang Bing to formally submit the letter when you reply to Concubine Liu; this will change Chang'an's marriage to Song Hu..."
Yun He was a little hesitant. Song Sheng had guarded Suzhou, Liangzhou and other places for more than 20 years and had a great influence in the local area. If the princess of Chang'an was allowed to marry his second son, it would not be good for the central government to rule Liangzhou. He did not care about Shang
It's not that Bing is defenseless, he's just choosing the lesser of two evils.
However, he then thought about it. Song Sheng's eldest son Song Xuan was serving as the commander of the right guard of the capital army at this time. He would not let Song Sheng serve as the left prime minister of the Qin vassal for a long time. It would be okay if he agreed. He said: "Husband, sir
That's right, just tell Shang Bing in your reply."
Xiyao agreed. Yunxi said again: "My husband has something to tell you. My husband plans to marry Wu Zhong's daughter to Yunxu as his concubine. She is the person recommended by Uncle Twelve and you a while ago. I will tell you something."
Write a family letter to inform him. You prepare yourself and start performing the six rituals. My husband will ask him to return to Beijing in the twelfth lunar month to consummate the marriage."
Xiyao agreed, thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, Wu Zhong's daughter has a strong temper, and Yun Ren's temper is not soft either. It's not suitable."
"This is different. Yunzhen is going to open up wasteland. A strong-tempered princess can assist Yunzhen. Although Yunzhen likes martial arts and hates literature, he has always been more scheming and less decisive. He is very similar to Yunwen. I think Wu should be used to assist him.
He is very suitable." Yunxi said.
Since Yunxi thought it was appropriate, Xiyao would not continue to object. She also talked about what happened in the palace today.
"Husband, today Princess Yong'an came to the palace to pay homage to me. I couldn't tell that she was from Fusang. Her every move was exactly the same as that of our Ming Dynasty people. It was Xiyi who curiously asked about the affairs of Fusang, so she demonstrated the functions of Fusang.
custom."
"This Fusang woman walks without moving her thighs and only moves her calves. If I hadn't seen her demonstration, I would never have imagined how to walk with only her calves. I imitated it, and after walking a few steps, I felt cramps in my thighs. It's really weird.
I know how they survived." Xiyao sighed.
"Fuso women have been wearing kimonos since they were young. Although the kimonos were modified based on the Tang clothes passed down from the Tang Dynasty, they are actually very different. The kimonos worn by women completely wrap their thighs and cannot move at all, so they evolved to walk like this
Method." Yunxi had learned about this matter in his previous life, so he explained.
Unexpectedly, Xiyao glanced at Yunxi with a meaningful look, and then continued chatting as if nothing had happened. Yunxi, who did not have high emotional intelligence, did not understand what her look meant.
On the morning of the next day, Yunxi summoned Zhu Mengjiong, the king of Yong'an, to enter the palace.
Regarding Fusang, Yunxi considered whether to send troops to conquer it completely, but the result of his consideration was not to do so. It would be easy to defeat Fusang with the Ming Dynasty's national power, but the price to conquer Fusang would be too high. Fusang warriors faced off against the Mongols back then.
Even though they had just succeeded, the Ming Dynasty was bound to suffer heavy losses and the gains would not be worth the losses. What’s more, various plans have been made for the appointment of the Fusang warrior Yunxi, so that they can contribute their own strength to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty’s Eastern Empire.
Since there was no way to fight, and Yunxi wanted Yokohama very much, he could only resort to peaceful means. The reason why Zhu Mengjiong originally married a Fuso as his concubine was to obtain Yokohama Port, an important port on the Pacific Ocean.
Yunxi said to him: "Meng Jiong, in two days you will go to Yokohama to take up the post of local military commander. My brother will allocate you a thousand households as a force to maintain security at the port and as your guard."
"Fuso is a country after all, a country with tens of millions of people. On the one hand, you have to maintain your independence locally, and on the other hand, you have to make good friends with the local daimyo. You have to grasp the balance between this. As a brother.
That’s why we don’t allocate more troops to you.”
After Yunxi gave some instructions, Zhu Mengjiong asked: "Brother Emperor, can I recruit Fusang soldiers locally?"
"Don't recruit too many people, no more than one thousand households. And try not to offend the local daimyo."
"You probably also know that the Kanto region of Fuso Honshu Island is not directly under the jurisdiction of Yoshimitsu. The local daimyo are very wary of Yoshimitsu. If you recruit too many troops, you may arouse their vigilance and think that you are helping Yoshimitsu. You
My wife is Yiman's daughter." Yunxi said.
‘I, a prince of the Ming Dynasty, will help the little Fusang King?’ Zhu Mengjiong thought in his heart. But he knew that what Yunxi said made sense, so he nodded.
Yunxi finally took out a copy of "Warring States Policy", handed it to Zhu Mengjiong and said: "Fusang is like China in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It will be beneficial to read more "Warring States Policy" and "Guoyu"."
Zhu Mengjiong agreed.
Yunxi finally asked: "Do you have anything to ask?"
Zhu Mengjiong thought for a long time and asked: "Brother Emperor, why do you have to control Yokohama? What is so special about this place? Is there gold underground?"
"That's not the case. This has nothing to do with whether there is gold underground, or even any other minerals. It has nothing to do with Yokohama's geographical location." Yunzhen said.
"Is there anything special about Yokohama's geographical location?" Zhu Mengjiong asked doubtfully. After Fang Mingqian came back from his two explorations, he drew a relatively detailed map and nautical chart of the East China Sea-Yongming Sea-Fuso coastal map, and Zhu Mengjiong had naturally seen it too.
In his opinion, Yokohama is already the easternmost place. Although he heard that there are islands further east and there are people living there, those places are of no value. So what is so special about Yokohama’s geographical location?
Yunxi could not tell him that there was a large continent in the far east. After thinking about it for a moment, Yunxi said: "You will know in the future."
Zhu Mengjiong was naturally dissatisfied with the answer, but he did not dare to continue asking and could only retreat.
