Chapter 166 It's Numb! The Wa Country Requests Angels to Come!
The atmosphere above the court was strange.
Even if the prince of Han was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Hoshikawa, get up quickly, let's talk about the important things."
"I heard that the Ashikaga Shogunate sent you to the Ming Dynasty to steal information on the Ming Dynasty?"
Hosokawa Mantomoto was stunned. When he noticed the hidden gaze of the Han prince, he immediately nodded.
"Ah yes yes, yes, foreign ministers are trying to steal the Ming Dynasty's advanced ordnance technology..."
Steal your uncle!
Stop talking about me, Ashikaga Yoshiji is not so brave!
In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, a foreign minister wanted to steal military information, wouldn’t he seek death?
Even if you succeed in stealing by chance, who can guarantee that you will not be noticed by the Ming court, and who can guarantee that you can successfully bring these information back to Japan?
That's why fools do such things.
But now, under the power of the Ming Dynasty's Han prince, Hosokawa Manto had to pinch his nose and recognize him. He was such a fool.
Huang Huai Yang Shiqi and others on the side were speechless when they watched the clumsy performances of the King of Han and the Japanese.
What did the Prince of Han say? These naughty Japanese people are all the same saying "Ah, right, right, right." Isn't the collusion between the two obvious enough?
Yang Shiqi stroked his beard and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Zhu Gaoxu forced the deputy envoy of Japan to forge testimony, causing disagreement between the Ming Dynasty and Japan.
What exactly does Prince Han want to do?
Could it be that he really wants to go out to sea to expedition to Japan?
Is this too funny?!
You should know that Japan is a country that is not conquered by Emperor Taizu Gao!
When it comes to the history of Japan's success, it can be considered as having glory and loneliness.
The Japanese broke off diplomatic relations with China and Turkey in the late Tang Dynasty until it was established in the Yuan Dynasty.
During the reign of Kublai Khan, in order to make the Japanese surrender, envoys were sent to Japan many times, demanding that the Japanese surrender to the Yuan Dynasty and pay tribute.
Kublai Khan sent five envoys in total, all of which were directly rejected by those in power in Japan. He angrily forced Kublai Khan to order an attack on Japan.
The Mongolian army actively went out to sea to expedition Japan, but because Mongolia itself was not good at naval warfare and the weather was not conducive to reinforcements, it only won the victory in the early stages of the war.
In the end, all the Mongolian cavalry that swept across the Central Plains ended in a crushing defeat. Japan has since escaped from Middle-earth and has no contacts.
It was not until Emperor Taizu Gao set up the Ming Dynasty when he established the mountains and rivers, he also sent envoys to Japan, but the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were killed by the arrogant Japanese.
In fact, from the perspective of Japan, they were able to defeat the Yuan Dynasty's expeditionary army under the powerful force of the Yuan Dynasty and did not choose to return to the Yuan Dynasty. Now facing the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, they naturally became tough.
The angel of the Ming Dynasty was killed, and Emperor Gao was extremely furious and almost sent troops to conquer the Japanese Kingdom.
But after thinking for a long time, he chose to give up sending troops and listed small neighboring countries such as Japan and North Korea as countries that were not expropriated.
The reason is simple and meaningless.
The Ming Dynasty mobilized many troops to expedition these neighboring countries. Even if it was victorious, the Ming Dynasty would still have untapped barren lands. The local natives would not obey the orders of the Ming court and might even rebel repeatedly. Annan is a best example.
If the expeditionary army failed like the Yuan Dynasty, the huge military power, huge manpower and military losses must be borne by the court, that would be an unbearable burden!
Therefore, even though Emperor Taizu Gao was angry, he resisted not expeditioning to Japan.
So, does the Han prince in front of him still have such ambitions?
Yang Shiqi frowned and stared at Prince Han, trying to see through the profound meaning of his doing these things.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say nonsense and pointed out the topic directly.
"Hosokawa, I heard that your country is not peaceful now, right?"
"Ah yes yes... The shogunate and the Southern Dynasties have been in a long grudge. The Emperor Kameyama Hou was dissatisfied with the shogunate's destruction of the two thrones. He ran out in anger and went to Saga, secretly visiting Yoshino, and is summoning the old Southern Dynasties forces to protest..."
"Although the two sides temporarily reached a reconciliation under the mediation of Prince Ueno, many Southern Dynasties were eager to try and were preparing to launch a rebellion and resist the shogunate under the name of supporting the emperor!"
Hearing this, the ministers were stunned.
Huang Huai looked contemptuous and smiled at Yang Rong beside him, "Mianren, these are really barbarians who do not know benevolence, righteousness, and kindness, and do not admire the sages of education!"
Yang Rong nodded lightly. Although he had not spoken, his eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.
According to the political system of Japan, the emperor should be the lord of Japan, which is similar to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
As a result, there is now an additional shogunate general who uses the Emperor to order the princes to play with the Emperor in his palms, causing the turtle to escape and cover the dust and have to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
The funny thing is that this Japanese country is actually divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The emperor of the North and Southern Dynasties is still a family, and the reason is that the shogunate made a mistake...
What is this?
A king is not a king, a minister is not a minister, a group of overseas barbarians!
Just at this moment, the left censor Gu Zuo suddenly chanted loudly: "The king is unrighteous and the people are thieves, disturbing the gods and ghosts, and he doesn't know how to sit in the well in the sky? He cut off his hair and spotted clothes to think... The king and his subjects were talking and frogs croaking, and he was determined to jump on the beams of Tianxian..."
The officials were stunned at first when they heard this poem, and then burst into laughter.
This poem is "The Way of the Japanese Fan" written by Emperor Taizu Gao in anger, which is extremely harsh and ironic!
Seeing this, Hosokawa Manmoto's face turned red, but he still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up at all.
Compared to your own life, dignity and backbone are no longer important!
Zhu Gaoxu also smiled happily. He didn't expect that Gu Zuo was so brave and dared to humiliate Japanese envoys in public with poems.
But this is better, and all officials realized that the Japanese were just like that, and their servility in their bones was the best in the world!
"Okay, okay, shut up!"
As Zhu Gaoxu shouted softly, the officials immediately stopped talking, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
The Prince of Han then asked again: "Since that's the case, then why are you here in my Ming Dynasty this time?"
Hearing this, Hosokawa Mantomoto trembled, as if he had remembered something terrifying.
He hurriedly touched the ground with his head and shouted loudly: "Foreign ministers come to the Ming Dynasty this time, first, to request the Ming Dynasty to resume the quest for the escort trade with small countries, and second, to request the Ming Dynasty angels to come to the small country and mediate the conflict between the shogunate and the emperor in the small country!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!
The first purpose is not difficult to guess, and Yang Shiqi and others have guessed it long ago.
After all, trade between the two countries represents interests, and the Ming Dynasty looked down on the specialty of Japan, but the goods exported by the Ming Dynasty were the most popular goods that Japan rushed to pursue.
Therefore, the suspension of the two countries' exploration and cooperation trade had no impact on the Ming Dynasty, but had a profound impact on Japan.
It is natural that they came to ask for a reopening of the trade at this moment.
However, this second request shocked the civil and military officials of the court!
Japan took the initiative to ask the Ming Dynasty to send angels to mediate the conflicts and conflicts between the shogunate and the emperor in their home country!
This is not because the Ming Dynasty takes the initiative, but because you, Japan, take the initiative!
For a moment, civil and military officials were talking about it, and they seemed quite moved.
After all, Emperor Taizu Gao sent envoys over and was killed by these stupid barbarians.
Now they took the initiative to ask the arrival of the Great Ming Angel. In a sense, this is equivalent to the fact that Japan has recognized the status of the Great Ming Dynasty as the lord!
If this matter is done well, the emperor will be very happy when he returns from the Northern Expedition.
Only Yang Shiqi frowned and glanced at the old god-in-law Han, and immediately understood in his heart.
It was not where Japan took the initiative, it was clearly the King of Han who made the Japanese envoys take the initiative!
