The war in Japan has lasted for hundreds of years, and the leaders of small forces from all over the country have developed into daimyo, which has become a normal state in current Japanese society.

Ryuzoji Takanobu was born in Saga Castle, a country with a family member named Shuijiang Ryuzoji. After several twists and turns, he inherited the supervision of the family by Shuijiang. He thus mastered the power of the Ryuzoji family and also obtained the position of Shancheng Guard.

Just when he wanted to show his ambitions, Eiki Tohashi, the important minister of the Ryuzakuji family, took the opportunity to incite, and joined forces with the Himeki-ku people from his relatives and friends to besiege Takanobu Ryuzakuji, intending to support the Ryuzakuji Supervisor.

Ryuzoji Takanobu was defeated and retreated. Fortunately, he received help from the lord of Yanagawa Castle, Kinsheng Kuroki. Two years later, he successfully returned to Himeqian with the Puchi army and exiled Ryuzoji Supervisor, and once again controlled the Ryuzoji family.

At this point, he began to compete for hegemony in this troubled times, expanding his territory from the small Dongkaiqian to the entire Kaiqian Kingdom, and then attacking the Otomo family's territory, and then extending his power to Xiajiku, Dongkaiqian Kingdom and Kaiqian Kingdom.

In the sea area, he spent a lot of money to buy warships with strong combat power from the United Trading Group, thus occupying the island of Asahi and Iki, becoming a major force in Kyushu Island, and also gaining the title of "Bear of Fatty".

But who would have thought that this famous Feiqian Xiong on Kyushu Island would kneel in front of this powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, and also called Lin Weiran the "Master".

"Qingxinjun, please get up!" Lin Weiran looked at the Ryuzoji Takanobu kneeling on the ground, and then raised his hand gently.

Ryuzoji Takanobu's facial features were not outstanding. He was wearing a standard Japanese daimyo outfit, but his eyes looked quite energetic. However, he did not get up from the ground, but sat cross-legged on the ground, looking very obedient and said, "Thank you, Lord!"

Lin Fu looked at Ryuzaoji Takanobu sitting cross-legged on the ground, but he didn't know whether it was caused by Ryuzaoji Takanobu's living habits or whether he used this to express his absolute surrender to Lin Shiran.

"Takashiki, do you know why I arranged for you to come to the capital this time?" Lin Shiran looked at Takashiki Ryuzaoji from a high place, and asked deliberately.

This time he summoned Ryuzoji Takanobu from Kyushu Island, but deliberately did not explain any reason. This was undoubtedly a test for this retainer.

However, judging from the current situation, Ryuzoji Takanobu still recognized his family head, but he came on the ship of the joint fleet as soon as possible, and he had already handed over his own life to himself for his disposal.

But we have to admit that the Japanese have a stronger stance on loyalty and rarely see betrayal in them, at least they have a stronger obsession than China.

However, Takanobu Ryuzaoji could not understand Lin Shiran's thoughts, so he shook his head honestly and said, "The retainers only obey the orders of the lord, and dare not guess what the lord thinks!"

Iron pillar, who was standing next to Lin Shiran, looked at the cautious Ryuzoji Takanobu, who was in charge of everything, but he didn't know whether this person was acting or whether he was absolutely loyal to the head of the family like other arduous Japanese samurai.

"Longxinjun, I know you have lofty ambitions, but I don't know if you want to do a topic in Jiuzhou or a king of Jiuzhou in the Ming Dynasty?" Lin Qinran's smile rose and asked straight to the point.

Although he had accepted Ryuzodai Takanobu as his retainer, it would not affect his plan at all and would also advance Japan's strategy in an orderly manner.

For the current Ming Dynasty, a split Japan is even more beneficial. Although he does not want to intervene in Japan's battle for the sake of hegemony for the time being, he might as well add a little fire to the side, so that Japan can move towards a split situation.

Ryuzoji Takanobu's heart was shocked slightly, but he still suppressed his ambition and said, "The retainers dare not make decisions, so please give me the order!"

"These are two options I give you. You can choose freely. I will not intervene!" Lin Qingran picked up the teacup and said in a statement that the matter was irrelevant.

Ryuzoji Takanobu looked up at Lin Yuran, and made a decision and said, "If possible, the retainers are willing to be the King of the Ming Dynasty...Kyushu!"

Although he knew in his heart what this choice would mean, he had never had the concept of a country. If he could occupy the entire Kyushu, he would also want to get rid of the control of the shogunate who was so famous.

The most important thing is that since he has chosen to become Lin Shiran's retainer, he cannot be distracted, but should strive to become Lin Shiran's spokesperson on Kyushu Island.

"Since that's the case, I will give you a tribute qualification. The court will grant you the Northern King of Jiuzhou this time! As for whether you can win the title of King of Jiuzhou, it depends on your next efforts!" Lin Weiran had already guessed the choice of Longzao Temple, and even gave it benefits.

Although Japan has been in war for hundreds of years, they have been fighting for official positions under the Japanese system, resulting in the common respect of the Emperor and the General.

Like the Ishimi Silver Mine of the Mori family, this silver mine was cleverly placed under the Emperor's name by the Mori family, and the Mori family was just the manager of the silver mine appointed by the Emperor, which made all forces dare not easily seize the Ishimi Silver Mine.

Now that Japan is about to move towards a real big division, these daimyos need to take the initiative to give up these official titles and become independent in the situation of becoming king. This is also his real purpose of calling Ryuzoji Takanobu to Beijing.

Although the Ming Dynasty would have to spend a tribute to Ryuzoji Takanobu, it was undoubtedly cost-effective compared to its strategy to Japan.

Ryuzoji Takashi was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately said gratefully to Lin Shiran: "Thank you for your kindness, the retainers will definitely not disappoint the Lord!"

"Qingxinjun, the battle situation in Kyushu is complicated, so you don't need to rush to achieve success! Although you need to pay 20% of your tax every year, there is still a lot of it. It is best to rest and recuperate! You don't have to worry about your wife and children in the capital. If I take care of their safety, there will definitely be no accidents!" Lin Shiran was not sure about Takanobu Ryuzaoji's loyalty, but he still guided him seriously.

His appearance undoubtedly changed the direction of the original history. Ryuzoji Takanobu's large-scale cultivation of cash crops led to a stronger capital for war, which led to more radical expansion of his territory, but was also surrounded by forces from all sides.

Because Ryuzoji Takanobu's ambition was too great, Ryuzoji Takanobu was once in a crisis of life and death. In the end, he chose to surrender to the United Merchants Group and was willing to become a retainer of Lin Shiran.

Lin Shiran naturally could not help Ryuzakuji Takanobu for no reason. He first asked Ryuzakuji Takanobu to take his wife and children as his property, and then asked him to pay 20% of his territory tax tribute.

The same is true. Ryuzaoji Takanobu's current territory is closely related to Lin Shin-ran's interests, and 20% of the taxes belong to Lin Shin-ran.

Ryuzoji Takanobu had just met his family and knew that they were living well in the capital, so he nodded seriously and said, "The retainer is grateful to the Lord for his care for his wife and children, and he must follow the Lord's teachings!"

"You stay in the capital these days. When the court rewards you, you can return to Jiuzhou and retreat!" Lin Qingran looked at the conversation almost the same, so he raised his hand gently.

"Assuming the Lord's arrangements, the retainers will leave first, and long live the Lord's emperor!" Ryuzoji Takanobu knelt down and saluted respectfully, and then left carefully.

Lin Shiran watched Ryuzoji Takanobu leave, but sighed softly.

After so many years of operation, Japan is still in chaos, with daimyos everywhere constantly attacking, and Japan has gradually become an important production base for joint business groups' economic crops.

Ginger produced in Japan was resold to the West by Portugal, while cotton from Japan became the raw material for Leizhou cloth, and thus sold to the world in the situation of Leizhou cloth.

In this economic activity, the United Business Group has undoubtedly become the biggest winner, constantly squeezing huge wealth from Japan.

However, as the leader of China, we have to look at it for a long time. Japan is a martial country. Although Japan is far from an opponent of the Ming Dynasty, we have to be on guard in advance.

That's why, with the solution to Oda Nobunaga, Toyota Hideyoshi and others, we need to cause a real division to Japan so as to better grasp the situation in Japan.

Whether facing Mongolia or Japan, he knew that ignorant benevolence could only bring disaster, and it would be better to kill these things in the cradle from the beginning.

At the end of March, the excitement of the capital finally reached its peak.

As the last batch of envoys arrived in the capital by boat, after learning the relevant etiquette, envoys from various countries went to the Forbidden City to pay homage to the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.

Under the rising sun, guests from all over the country were wearing gorgeous clothes, holding flags of their country logos in their hands, holding a wide range of tributes gathered outside Chengtian Gate.

In view of the strong deterrence of the Ming Dynasty and the joint fleet, North Korea, Ryukyu, Xiao Liuqiu, Mo Chao, Zhenla, Siam, Cham, Sumatra, Java, Shuheng, Baihua, Nibo and other countries were all present.

The appearance and temperament of guests from different countries are different. They stand in designated areas and are crowded with people, with grand and lively scenes waiting for Emperor Baili to receive them.

Moo...

The elephant in front of the crowd made a scream, with a beautiful face on her body and a seat on her back. She resolutely was the mount that a certain king wanted to give to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were already familiar with this kind of scene. They stood in front of Chengtian Gate according to the grade level, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"All civil and military officials, kings and envoys from all countries!"

When the eunuch rang the bell and drums, he also shouted loudly to the civil and military officials and guests from all over the world in front of Chengtian Gate.

With the sound of bells and drums in front and the sound of Xuan, the civil and military officials standing in front went towards the city gate, and guests from all over the country also followed behind.

Today is a beautiful weather with clear sky, which makes the walls and palaces of the Forbidden City more royal, especially the Huangji Temple on the high platform is majestic.

"This is...the Ming Dynasty Palace!"

"Oh my God, there are such a majestic palaces in the world!"

"How is this possible? How was this built?"

...

Guests from all over the world walked into the Forbidden City and looked at the palace walls and palaces in front of them, and suddenly stared at them in surprise, unable to believe everything in front of them.

It was just a collision with the people in front and behind, and I soon realized that everything in front of me was real. This place that looked like a fairyland was the palace of the Ming Dynasty.

Although many of them have their own palaces, compared with the Forbidden City with red walls and yellow tiles in front of them, it is really not worth mentioning.

For some kings who are actually tribal leaders, this impact is unforgettable for life. In shock, they realized the power of the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides had an insurmountable gap.

Not to mention the kings or envoys of the small South Asian countries, even people from major countries like North Korea and Siam clearly see that the two countries are not on the same level at all.

Now Lin Wenkui, who is wise and evil in the Ming Dynasty, is in power. If they really become enemies of the Ming Dynasty, then they will definitely seek death.

Mo Chao and Chameng were facing the threat of Annan Hou Li Chao at this time, but suddenly had a different mind and wanted to find the thick thigh of the Ming Dynasty even more intensely.

Similar to the throne ceremony, civil and military people stood on the steps of Huangji Gate.

The five strong men from the Silijian held five umbrellas, and four umbrellas, and four umbrellas. Amid the music, they entered the Huangji Gate from the east and west sides. First, they crossed the Golden Platform above, and then they held the canopy and the inner envoy and held two martial fans into the Huangji Hall and stood behind the imperial seat.

"The emperor is here! The empress dowager is here!"

Amid a sound of music and drums, Feng Bao above declared loudly.

"I will bow to the emperor, long live my emperor! I will pay homage to the Empress Dowager, thousand years of the Empress Dowager!" The civil and military officials led the guests of all countries and immediately knelt down like a tsunami.

At this time, the sun was gradually rising, and everyone was bathed in the sun, while many guests were curious about the current Ming emperor.

When the music and drums stopped, Feng Bao issued an edict again: "My Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, Lin Qingran, led the cabinet ministers and six ministries to the palace, and the British Duke Zhang Rong led the Duke and the Marquis to the palace!"

Lin Weiran, wearing a python robe, maintained a serious expression. He first glanced at the elderly British Duke Zhang Rong next to him, and led the senior officials behind him to the Huangji Palace.

Because the Huangji Palace is limited, it is impossible to accommodate all civil and military officials, so only these senior officials and nobles are witnesses.

Of course, if there is any emergency, they also need to come forward to solve it. Lin Weiran's right eyelid inexplicably jumped several times, and a faint feeling of anxiety arose.

The group came to the Huangji Hall, first knelt down at Baili and Empress Dowager Chen who were sitting upright above, and then they were placed on both sides of the hall, quietly waiting for kings or envoys from various countries to come in and worship.

Feng Bao stood in the shade in front of Huangji Gate and loudly proclaimed the imperial edict to the civil and military officials and guests below: "Xuan! North Korea King Lee Bing meets with him!"

The great Celestial Empire, the prosperous era, and the reputation is so great that all nations come to pay tribute. Today it will be staged in front of the Imperial Hall of the Forbidden City.
