Chapter 734 The Ming International Convention

"Your Majesty, in fact, what the Ming Dynasty did was not very domineering when going to Ming Dynasty..." After a long silence, someone suddenly said something amazing. When Katsuhito looked up, he saw that the businessman Imai was talking. (", watch the latest update of this book)

"Bastard, they have already forced His Majesty to the Emperor. Isn't that too much? His Majesty the Emperor is a descendant of the gods, the highest symbol of Japan, and..." Several powerful people were silent, only those who were shouting for the Lords. The only thing these people could be proud of was their identity brought by their bloodlines, which made them the greatest stimulation.

"My dear sir, you can't say that." Imai retorted: "Before I came down, I was fortunate to have a meeting with the Ming Dynasty's special envoy, Shangshu Lin. Shangshu Lin is a great scholar, and there is no need to mention his academic style. The demeanor he showed was also fascinating... Shangshu Lin said it was reasonable, and this is not called a urgency. Internationally, leaders of the two countries interacted with each other, which is called a friendly visit."

"Friendly visit?" Shengren curled his lips and said that it was not Lingwei. Such a terrible gunboat was opened, so there was no sign of friendly intention at all.

"Yes, Shangshu Lin also brought the international convention that the Ming Dynasty had just established this year, and there was a special explanation on it. Your Majesty, please read it..." As he said that, he took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to the eunuch with respect, and then explained:

"The Emperor of Ming Dynasty believes that Japan is also a branch of China and belongs to the Ming Dynasty... According to the research of Shangshu Lin, His Majesty's seniority is just a lower generation than the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he can be called it by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty... Since he has a father-son friendship, how can he be called a ruthless person?"

"Bastard..." A shout came from the ministers, but they lost the feeling of being full of energy just now, and they seemed a little weak. Not only because the situation was stronger than that of others, but after reading the letter of the country, they also lost their temper.

The textual research on that book of the country was extremely detailed. It started from the time when Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the east, and it was until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that the first contact between the Japanese and the Central Plains was made during the Sui Dynasty. It was then officially exchanged the letters of the country, and recognized each other. Finally, it went through the Tang and Song Dynasties, and to the Ming Dynasty, there was no more or less, and it was just one generation shorter.

The time span of the textual research is so large that there is certainly no missing content. The book is full of dense small fly-headed calligraphy, which makes people dizzy at a glance.

Many classics in Japan are originally allusions from China, so they are not unfamiliar with the history of the Central Plains and are even very interested. Before they could read the complete Chinese book, they randomly selected some of the content in the middle. (", watch the latest update of this book)

However, in the book of the country, both the articles and the content of the text are very rigorous and reasonable, which makes the ministers unable to refute, and amazed that the other party was well prepared and had no knowledge, they could only turn the beginning helplessly.

It is not scary to have knowledge, nor is it scary to do things rigorously. At worst, you can just act like a scoundrel and not admit it. However, while the other party is reasoning, he also sets up a cannon array, which is very scary.

To be honest, it is impossible to beat others, and there are many internal problems. Isn’t this person who is advising His Majesty to obey the man is a famous merchant in Kinai? Don’t look at how respectful this person is now, but if both sides really turn against each other, the merchants from Jie Town can unite and starve them to death, and who can make them rich and powerful?

"Your Majesty went to the Ming Dynasty and just admitted his mistake and lost some face. Well, it was thrown in front of his father. This is actually nothing. Compared to the anger of the Dragon Face of the Heavenly Dynasty and the thunder are lowered, your Majesty, please think twice..." Imai bowed deeply, bowed to the ground, and advised him earnestly.

He is a businessman and doesn't have to care about his reputation or something. If he can take this opportunity to get involved with the Governor's Office, he will become prosperous in the future. The goal of the princes is to conquer neighboring countries and expand their territory, but the merchants are not that complicated. The most important thing in their eyes is wealth. If they can hold the thighs of the Governor's Office, wealth will naturally roll in.

Besides, if he doesn't follow, the first unlucky one is Jie Town. Without that big port, his and his companions' industries will shrink by at least half, so of course he will be extremely nervous.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is a country of superiority and is still very trustworthy. It took so much effort to write such a detailed letter of nationality, which fully reflects sincerity. I believe that we can still consider it carefully..."

Yoshihiko Ouchi originally wanted to stay out of the matter, but judging from Imai's performance, this person may have betrayed completely. If he returned to Jetaku, describes the matter with the Governor, and then recalls the number one general in the Western Kingdom, and the great god Amaterasu, the Ouchi family will definitely be over.

Therefore, he didn't care about his reputation or anything else and joined the ranks of persuasion. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty had done a lot of preparation and the letter of the country had already explained the truth very clearly, and it didn't seem to be malicious.

Want to annex Japan? Although the emperor was poor, the family was still very prosperous. Even if Shengren was detained by the Ming Dynasty, he could only change one more. Anyway, just supporting a few close daimyos would not achieve the purpose of annexation. Even if the Ming Dynasty took action, wouldn’t there be a kamikaze on the sea? For such a distant place, it wouldn’t be worth it?

The two of them started, and the others agreed. At least in name, this was a friendly visit. At the end of the letter of China, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will also come to Japan in two years. Since this kind of incident is like this, why bother to have a stumble?

After being clamored by everyone, Shengren himself was shaken. This is the character of the Japanese. As long as the external pressure is strong enough, they can even take face. Moreover, it is not a bad thing to preserve a considerable face now.

When they first officially entered the Central Plains to pay their respects, they were also very arrogant. They called themselves the emperor of the Sui Dynasty and refused to change their words. After they fought a battle with the Tang Dynasty at the Jiangkou of Baicun and were defeated, they changed their rebellious attitudes before. When they came to the Central Plains, their attitude was so humble.

Now, they have once again seen the power of the Central Plains. Although they are still a little unconvinced, they can quickly identify the actual situation and follow their nature and make similar judgments and choices.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is very, very prosperous. Even a small border town is not inferior to a town, let alone a place like a capital! Shangshu Lin said that when you go, someone will treat you with care. Think about it..." Imai's voice was full of temptation, and finally touched Katsuhito's heart.

"Then... for the sake of the stability of the world and the friendship between the two countries, I will leave." He was very entertained, at least, there should be white rice? A very simple idea flashed through Seungren's mind, and then he finalized the matter.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with you and fulfill my responsibility for protection."

"I am..."

Imai was tempted by more than Shengren. Shengren nodded, and the ministers were also very enthusiastic. From the information he passed down from the old man, we can see that the dynasties in the Central Plains have always been very concerned about face and have always been generous to foreign envoys.

The Ming Dynasty will take such action this time, 80% is for the sake of face. Now that it has made such a big deal, is there any need to mention the investment behind it? Is it better to go to the Ming Dynasty to eat and drink delicious food than to stay in Kyoto?

The crowd was in a raging mood. Imai found something wrong and quickly explained: "Everyone, please don't be excited. Shangshu Lin means that the mission only needs His Majesty the Emperor and bring a few escorts with him. There are so many people, it must be more than the specification."

"What? How can that be done? There can be few civilian personnel, but the guards are indispensable. Without warriors, who will surround His Majesty the Emperor's safety?"

"That's right, in addition to defending the Emperor, we should also demonstrate the courage of the Japanese samurai, so that the Ming Dynasty would be afraid of it, so as not to underestimate us."

Before the ministers could make a fuss, the daimyos were all red. Yoshihiko Ouchi wanted to take this opportunity to improve his relationship with the Governor's Office. Even if he could not become a close friend like the Maori family, he would at least maintain a general standard relationship to avoid further blows.

The two Hosokawas were not convinced. The Hosokawa family was Guanling, but the emperor was taken away by others. They were so embarrassed that they were disgraced.

He could not build ships on his own and could not defeat the Ming people at sea. The Mongol cavalry was also very fierce. However, the Ming people's own military power was not very good. Otherwise, how could he be beaten to pieces by a group of ronin for many years? Therefore, he planned to send his samurai to find some face in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Lin Shangjiu's astronomy is a part of it, so that the selected samurai can be used on the boat to travel together."

Imai seemed to have transformed into Lin Han's spokesperson all at once, responding with ease, comforting the disappointed ministers and calmly responding to the princes.

"Is His Majesty the Emperor able to get on the other party's ship? Isn't this the same as a prisoner?" Ashikaga Yoshisuke frowned and raised objections. In fact, he was the most indifferent person in this matter, but he valued the most the names of these bears.

"Shangshu Lin did not make this limitation. However, the ships of the Ming Dynasty sailed very quickly, and were very stable, and could travel against the wind. The ships of their country could not keep up, and they were a little dangerous..."

Japan only has a small sampan named Xiaozao, and the Anzhai boat can only sail near the sea, and the speed is still slow. Moreover, not everyone has that thing. The Ouchi family had seven or eight Anzhai boats, so it was already called the most powerful naval army. How could the poor general and the emperor afford such a ship?

"That's it, Imai, go and reply to the envoy of the Ming Kingdom. I will set off for Jie Town tomorrow, and then go to the Ming Dynasty with the special envoy." Katsuhito was not stupid, so he didn't want to cross the East China Sea on a small sampan. In the face of the threat of life, face is nothing.
