Luo Luo works so hard, don’t keep everyone’s monthly tickets anymore. Can you give them all to Luo Luo Luo?

The streets of Heian Kyo were crowded with people, and the essence of Japan, which was about five million people. It was different from the practice of later Tokugawa Shogunate concentrating the essence of Japan in Edo by explaining the method of attending the sermon. Hojo Zhiquan of Kamakura never thought that Dainames from all over Japan had established a mansion in Kamakura and regularly rotated with his heirs to live in Kamakura. However, at this time, Danames with some influence in Japan would buy mansions in Heian Kyo as their residence for their residence when they entered Luo to attend the sermon, and were also the stronghold for their activities in Heian Kyo. The North and South Six Pora Houses were the residence of the Hojo Family Takasen (the leader of the Hojo direct clan) in Heian Kyo. The two Six Poras are representatives of the Takasen in Heian Kyo. Sometimes the Takasen will also serve as the Takasen himself.

In various places, Daming and Hojo, the family of Heian Kyo naturally had a large number of samurai residences. In addition, the nobles and temples in Heian Kyo also hired samurai warriors to serve the nobles, so there were many samurai in this city. About half of the pedestrians walking on the streets wore long swords, and the scabbards and hilts were a bit old, which was obviously a weapon that was often used rather than decorations.

However, most of these warriors with long swords on their waists are short, and many of them are not even tall and thin, and are almost as thick as the one born in Liaodong Jurchens. Ren Daoxing, who already has some military experience, knows that such a body cannot wear heavy armor and cannot pull a hard bow. If it is a long street fight, it can still win by skills and courage. If it is on the battlefield, it will not be able to withstand the long battle...

If these samurai who are weak but are said to be brave, they will be driven to the battlefield for about a year of strict training and good food. If they can keep their bodies firm and teach them the skills of battle formation, it will probably be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, if you need to use troops against Japan in the future, you should use a rapid attack with thunder and use the navy to transport elite troops from Namba to land on the rush to attack Heiankyo. You cannot give them time to train troops and raise troops...

When Ren Daoxing and Hojo Toshima were marching on the Heian Kyo-naga Street, they were paying close attention to the capital of Japan, which was Chen Dexing's special explanation. The mission of the Tendo Cult in Japan and other foreign countries is not only to preach, but also to collect intelligence. Just like the missionaries of Europeans in history! The Tendo Cult sent to foreign countries are also spies wearing religious cloaks!

Yes, influenced by the inherent thinking of later generations, Chen Dexing did not mean to despise Japan at all (also did not despise Annan. The Mongols also suffered a great loss in Annan). He did not believe that using a few Pili-class warships to fire a few shots outside Namba Port, he could conquer a country with a strong military tradition. After all, in the same historical period, Kublai Khan sent an army of 200,000 to 300,000 troops, attacked twice, but both were defeated in a crushing defeat.

Although there are reasons for the "Kamikaze", the Mongol Yuan's internal situation to Japan was unclear and the party leading the way was not helpful, which was also an important reason for Kublai Khan's defeat twice. Because there was no party leading the way, there was no number of storms at any time. Because there was no party leading the way, Kublai Khan's navy did not know to land in another place to avoid Kitakyushu where the Japanese army gathered.

Moreover, Kublai Khan did not have a long-term plan. He did not think about how to rule after conquering Japan and which puppet to build Japan into a vassal state. In fact, there was a lack of enough intelligence, and the Mongolian Yuan court, which had no contact with powerful figures in Japan, could not formulate a truly effective rule method. Even without those two kamikazes, Mongolia's conquest of Japan might have been the same as that of Annan, but it would not stand firm.

...

Peaceful Jing, North Six Polo House.

"Your Excellency, this is the meeting gift given to the shogunate by His Highness Ming King."

The meeting gift is a scroll made of white long silk. The silk selected is extremely fine and it is a fine one at a glance.

Hojo Tomoshima and his several retainers couldn't help but hold their breath and watch Ren Daoxing spread out the scroll bit by bit.

The scroll shows a map that makes them look familiar at first glance. There are three large islands close together and a small island on the map, forming the archipelago that runs on the lower left and upper right. The largest island is long and thin at the lower left. It is also closely adjacent to the other two large islands. However, the two large islands are much smaller than the largest island with a long shape, at most one fifteenth to one twenty-tenths of the size of them. However, unlike most maps in this era, the coastline on this map is very precisely drawn, with bays and coastal islands scattered. However, the mountains, rivers and cities on the three islands are much more sparse, and only a few very small plains are seen on the three islands. There are only four cities, three of which are located on the largest island. There are also one on the big island on the left.

Hojo Toshima suddenly said: "This seems to be a map of Japan!"

Ren Daoxing nodded: "It is the map of Japan, but it is not yet perfect. It is just that the coastline is drawn more finely and can be used for navigation and commerce."

In fact, it can be used in military use! Hojo Shimoshita thought to himself, but his face was still silent, just said: "It is not easy to navigate and trade. The wind and waves on the sea are high and the waves are harsh, and many ships are overturned."

Ren Daoxing smiled and said, "Although there are winds and waves on the sea, it cannot stop Mingwang's giant ship. Liaodong, Japan, only two thousand miles of sea routes, and only three days of voyage when the wind is smooth. If you cross the sea from Goryeo, half a day will be enough!"

Is this a threat? Hojo Toshima was shocked. The news that the Ming Dynasty defeated Mongolia and took Liaodong, and Goryeo had long been spread to the Japanese Mongolians who sent envoys through Goryeo a few years ago, demanding that Japan pay tribute to Mongolia. Therefore, the Kamakura Shogunate has been paying attention to the news on the mainland for many years.

After the news of Mongolia's defeat came, Heianjing celebrated the city. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even the emperor went to Mount Hiei to burn incense and thanked the Buddha... But if that King Chen Ming, like the Mongols, also wanted to invade Japan, it would be even greater, right?

Now, the Ming King has the final say on the sea to the west of Japan! Anyone who wants to go to Goryeo and the Song Dynasty has to pay the Ming King. If you don’t have the Ming King’s warship, you won’t be polite!

There were no such naval troops in Mongolia before!

Seeing that Hojo Shimoshita's face changed slightly, Ren Daoxing smiled again: "The nations have their own borders, and the sea trade is open, and the way of heaven has no borders. My king is not interested in Japan's barren islands. He only wants to establish borders with Japan as soon as possible, not invade each other, open seas and trade, and spread the principle of the way of heaven at the same time."

He tapped the map with his finger and said, "This map can also be used for demarcation..."

"Demarcate the borders of Japan?"

"That's right." Ren Daoxing said with a smile, "Japan and Goryeo have always had disputes in the demarcation of borders, and Goryeo is a vassal of the Ming king. The dispute between Japan and Goryeo is a dispute with the Ming king. It is actually not conducive to the long-term harmony between the two families. Therefore, our king is willing to define borders with Japan, establish diplomatic relations, and open an embassy, ​​and be friendly for generations."

"Yes, yes, generational friendship..." Hojo Toshima nodded repeatedly. "In fact, there is no big dispute between our country and Goryeo, it is just a few deserted islands and deserted islands."

Ren Daoxing continued: "Then the boundary of Japan is the three large islands on the map and the small islands affiliated to the land?"

Hojo Toshima quickly lowered his head and checked carefully. The long ones should be Honshu, and the other two big islands should be Kyushu and Shikoku... Tsushima, Seed Island, Goshima, Hirado Island, and Sado Island are all there. There are also many small islands that Hojo Toshima himself cannot name, all of which are close to Honshu. Of course, Kyushu and Shikoku are not complete. The maps drawn by Chen Dexing based on his memory and the information collected from maritime merchants are actually just a rough idea.

"The big island is good, it is Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku... It seems that there is one missing from the Honshu Island. It is a big island in the northeast of Honshu Island."

A retainer around Hojo Toshima was obviously more aware of the terrain of Japan than his master, and he saw that the map drawn by Chen Dexing was missing Hokkaido.

"Yes, there is no Etsu..." Hojo Toshima looked at Ren Daoxing with some anxiety.

Ren Daoxing just smiled and nodded: "It doesn't matter if there is no island... It doesn't matter. When we establish diplomatic relations between the two sides, we can send people to conduct on-site investigations. For example, Japan does establish an effective rule on this Hoi Island. The Ming King will naturally not refuse to admit it. If Japan fails to effectively rule the entire Hoi Island, then as much as it has. Do you think this is OK?"

"This..." Hojo Toshima exchanged glances with several retainers around him before nodding reluctantly, "This matter needs to be reported to Kamakura, which cannot be decided by Kitaru Polo House."

"It's okay, it's okay," Ren Daoxing just smiled and nodded, "I'm just a Taoist, I can't care about anything. I just pass on a message for His Highness Ming. The corresponding officials will be responsible for specific diplomatic matters."

He paused for a moment, took the invitation from Xie Guoming for the "Puoshan Defense Conference" and handed it to Hojo Toshimao, both hands, "This is the invitation from His Highness Ming King to invite the Kamakura shogunate to send people to Putuoshan. His Highness Ming King hopes that Kamakura can send people to go, demarcate borders, establish diplomatic relations, open an embassy, ​​sign trade treaties and other matters can be negotiated on Putuoshan.

In addition, His Highness Ming also recruited some craftsmen who were good at finding gold mines from Goryeo and the Song Dynasty, and prepared to send them to Sado Island to help Japan find gold mines. If you can make the decision, then they will be able to go to Sado Island in a month."

Hojo Toshima nodded, and Kyushini had sent someone to send the news to Heian Kyo, so Hojo Toshima had already contacted Kamakura and obtained permission.

"Of course this is a good thing, how can the shogunate not allow it?" Hojo Toshima frowned, "It's just the cost of this prospecting..."
