Chapter 1638
It’s not a long time since the War of Wanli and Korea in the previous dynasty. The Japanese vassal vassals and Great Ming turned their faces. The Japanese entered the'seclusíon lock country' stage.
One is because the Japanese Japanese heritage was defeated in that battle, and there was no more power to the outside world.
The second is to resist external influences.
In the era of Tokugawa Iemitsu, although Nagasaki was the center of foreign trade in Japan, it was basically the interests of the Japanese aristocracy and did not mean openness.
During this period, Japanese widows seclusíon locked the country, suppressed the bishop, repelled Xiyi, and even caused some riots at one time.
If it weren't for the Great Xia Empire's policy of blocking the sea and territories that harmed the interests of the Tokugawa Shogunate itself, there would be no movement in the Japanese and Japanese countries.
In the face of the Great Xia Empire, especially the Great Xia fleet that sometimes wanders the sea area of the Japanese Japanese, the first reflection of the Japanese Japanese is the expulsion. But unfortunately, they completely failed.
Origin Item warship is definitely the most powerful naval weapon of this era. Not to mention the Japanese Japanese, it is the Taixi barbarians who have met, and they can only be beaten.
After being taught by fiercely, the Tokugawa shogunate pinched his nose and sent people to the court.
This is also the reason why Tokugawa Kotomo took a naval warship.
The Great Xia Empire Navy has two war zones, one in the southeast and the main southern sea area. One is in Shandong, the main northern sea area.
The Eastern Sea Army is divided into three branches, one in Dengzhou, Shandong, one in Dagu, and one in North Korea. Facing the Japanese Japanese is the Eastern Sea Army Unit 1 stationed in the sea area of the Korean peninsula.
If the Tokugawa shogunate fails to expel it, it is the navy fleet.
To this day, the Navy is gradually taking shape. It's not just personnel, it's equipment. Although the old-style warship has not been completely eliminated, it has reached the point where the Origin Item warship and the old-style warship are half and half. North Korea alone has six Origin Item ships.
These Origin Item warships, wrapped in gold alloys and powered by the Octagonal Pagoda, are almost impossible fortresses to be destroyed in this era.
In the face of this level of fleet, what can the Japanese boats do?
The Tokugawa shogunate suffered a big loss, and changed from arrogant to humble, immediately sent people to contact the fleet, and soon sent this tributary mission.
Ying Yi looked at the Tokugawa Shogun’s credential, put his hand aside, and then said to Tokugawa Kotomo, who was kneeling down at the temple, "Let’s be flat."
"Thank you, Great Xia, the emperor!"
Tokugawa Kotomo paid another respect, and then stood up respectfully.
As a member of the circle of Xia civilization, Japan and Japan have been influenced by various Xia for thousands of years. Whether it is text, language, or culture, it is true.
It is said that the clothes of Tokugawa Kotomo, although they have the characteristics of Japan's own country, are also very close to the style of the former Ming court officials.
Extremely fat round-necked robe, loose belt, also high erected crown.
Tokugawa Kotomo is very young, just in his twenties. Not tall—the Japanese Japanese, from ancient times to the present, have no advantage in size.
He has a humble look, shows a rigidity in his every move, he is very etiquette, and meticulous.
He speaks Mandarin Chinese very fluently. In this era, there is no high-level person in the surrounding countries of Divine Province who can't speak Chinese or understand Chinese etiquette.
For example, North Korea, which has been annexed by Ying Yi, Japan and Japan, and countries in the South Vietnam Peninsula.
Divine Province has always been strong, like a huge magnetic core, everything has a huge attraction to the surrounding area.
The large and small vassal states in the surrounding area are all proud of speaking of Sinicization and respecting the knowledge of Han rituals.
Many thoughts of Confucianism and many behaviors of Divine Province commoners are the targets they are vying to imitate.
So Ying Yi is not surprised that Tokugawa Mitsutomo has such a performance.
"Your name is Tokugawa Mitsutomo? What is the relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu?"
As far as Ying Yi himself is concerned, he probably only knows one Tokugawa Ieyasu. Because this person, in the time and space before he crossed over, may be the most famous.
Tokugawa Kotomo respectfully said: "Your Majesty is here, that is the Great General."
"Generation?" Ying Yi slightly nodded: "So to speak Tokugawa Ieyasu Already dead? What about Tokugawa Iemitsu?"
Tokugawa Kotomo said: "Your Majesty is wise. The contemporary Great General is the foreign minister's father-in-law Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third generation shogun."
"The third generation?"
Ying Yi knows her heart.
Said: "Tokugawa Iamitsu's book of the kingdom, I have already seen it. I already know your intention. Although the matter here is not big, it is not easy to solve it at the moment."
"Please show me the emperor." Tokugawa Kotomo bowed.
Ying Yi said: "My Great Xia was first established and is still in a stable state. When the Ming court of the previous dynasty was weak, the various Xia's prestige could not be declared, so that the pirates and bandits would proliferate along and the barbarians from Western Thailand could come and go freely. Western countries are not a good number. They have had bad intersections with the previous dynasties. They also occupied our territory. Although they have been recovered, they must be guarded. Since the navy closed the borders, I never thought it would affect it. Japanese Japanese. This is a national policy and cannot be changed easily. Tokugawa Ieki’s request, I will not allow it."
Tokugawa Kotomo is hearing this, feeling stagnant, and hurriedly prayed: "Your Majesty, please Hearing what the foreign minister said."
Ying Yi said: "What do you have to say?"
Tokugawa Kotomo said: "Your Majesty is nothing but a bandit, What is the impact on trade with our country? Our country’s request from the Great General does not hope that Your Majesty will be easier for the country. It only needs to allow free trade between the two countries. Only the northern sea area is involved. It involves white skins and no banditry."
He added: "Now that North Korea returns to the sect, Your Majesty can set up a port in North Korea for trade with foreign ministers. It is simple and convenient. But why not do it?"
"Chuoer is a small country, how bold is it?" At this time, Huang Zongxi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was sitting on the side, stood up and scolded: "Trifling foreign minister, a grassy character, Do you dare to teach the saint emperor's administration?"
He bowed and said: "My minister asks Your Majesty to beat this person out to punish him for his disrespect!"
Tokugawa When Guangyou heard this, he knew where he was wrong, and his face turned pale and speechless for a while. Instead, his deputy knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Ying Yi waved his hand and said: "As a foreign minister, why should Huang Qing Investigate further?"
Said: "Tokugawa Hikaru, Tokugawa Iamitsu asked, I don't allow it. You leave."
Repelled the Japanese envoy, Ying Yi Smiled to Huang Zongxi and said: "The navy locks the borders, and the interests of Tokugawa are damaged. I came so anxiously, but I didn't know that I had planned."
Receiving foreign guests is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so it is the mission of bringing envoys today. Seeing Ying Yi, it was Huang Zongxi. Of course Huang Zongxi knew Ying Yi's thoughts.
Although there are some criticisms in my heart, I think that since the emperor has unified the Divine Province, he should restrain his hands and feet to revitalize the internal affairs. But I also know that the intention of the emperor has been determined, and there is absolutely no possibility of change.
Said: "Japanese and Japanese should follow the customs and culture and learn more about Divine Province."
This is what I said dryly.
Ying Yi laughed and said: "For this reason, it is necessary for him to return to the sect."
He then replied: "Mitsuru Tokugawa bears Tokugawa Iemitsu's entrustment. , I will not be reconciled. I expect that in the next few days, he will visit the minister of the Imperial court everywhere."
Huang Zongxi agrees: "Your Majesty means..."
Win Next said: "If the Tokugawa Shogunate is willing to cede Tsushima, it may be permitted."
Huang Zongxi secretly sighed, and said: "Follow Your Majesty's order."
