Chapter 1127 1122 [The shogunate is the best way to rule Japan]
When Zhu Guoxiang came to Luoyang to celebrate the New Year, chaos had already broken out in Japan.
Moreover, it is more chaotic than ever before!
First, when the Ming Dynasty occupied Iwami Ginzan, it triggered a civil war in Heiankyo, Japan, and the Fujiwara family changed their families. Second, the impact of the Ming Dynasty's goods and coins caused some Japanese forces to become stronger.
If explained in an easy-to-understand way, the king is written as the emperor, and the photographer is written as the prime minister, it is as follows -
The emperor's wife had a falling out with the prime minister, and the prime minister turned against the emperor.
Also due to the issue of the successor of the Minamoto clan, the Taigai Emperor and Takeomi Minamoto no Yoshitori had a falling out. The Minamoto clan split, with Minamoto no Yoshitori turning to the Taigong Emperor, and his son Minamoto no Yoshitomo being loyal to the Taitai Emperor.
Father and son are at odds, brothers are at war with each other.
Due to the uneven distribution of profits from maritime trade, the power of the wife of the emperor continued to be divided, and each family demanded that Taira Kiyomori hand over control of the Seto Inland Sea and ports.
This summer, due to a dispute over cargo at the Osaka port, a bloody conflict broke out between the two peripheral forces. It then turned into a riot and finally turned into a coup.
The prime minister, who had been deprived of half of his power, gathered forces loyal to the emperor and launched an attack on Taira Kiyomori's family home.
All factions were soon involved, and the wife of the emperor even invited monk soldiers to quell the chaos.
The Heian-Kyo Rebellion lasted for thirteen days, with more than 200 samurai casualties on both sides. The Emperor's side won, while the defeated Emperor was deposed.
Minamoto Yoshitomo personally killed his eccentric father Minamoto Minamoto!
But after experiencing this chaos, the elderly wife of the emperor became seriously ill and died soon after.
Civil strife resumed and turned into a conflict between the two Genpei clans.
Taira Kiyomori supported the newly deposed Emperor and controlled the navy and Gyeongsang forces.
The Minamoto no Yoshitsame Dynasty regarded the emperor as having no real power as its orthodoxy, controlled the local samurai groups in the Eastern Kingdom, and gained the support of a large number of civilian officials.
After a battle, Minamoto Yoshitomo was defeated and fled Heiankyo. He returned to the Eastern Kingdom and raised troops in Luo. He led a group of Eastern Kingdom warriors to Kiyoshi Jun's side.
Since the Taira family's control over the Western Kingdom is far less than that of Minamoto Yoshitori in the Eastern Kingdom, the difference in army strength between the two sides is a bit large. This top student who had studied abroad in Luoyang for several years was actually beaten back steadily. He obviously did not study in the Ming Dynasty.
To the essence.
Winter has come, and the two sides have temporarily suspended the war.
…
Seventy-two-year-old Xue Daoguang has a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Ping'an Jing and was given dozens of acres of surrounding land.
Dozens of acres of land are too shabby.
But this was the outskirts of Ping'an Jing, and the fertile land had long been occupied. Xue Daoguang was able to own dozens of acres of land, thanks to his status as a great Ming emperor.
To put it bluntly, for the sake of Emperor Zhu, some land was moved and given to him!
Taira Kiyomori, who currently controls Heianjing, walked into the abbot's room. He had white teeth and a Ming Dynasty bun. If he didn't look at his height and clothing, he looked like a Ming Dynasty scholar.
Ping Qingsheng bowed solemnly and said in fluent Ming Dynasty official words: "Qingsheng has met Taoist Xue."
Xue Daoguang picked up the kettle and made tea: "Dear guest, please take a seat."
Picking up the tea cup pushed by Xue Daoguang, Ping Qingsheng thanked him, and then said, "Every time I come to Dao Zhang Xue, I recall my time in Luoyang and Kaifeng. How nostalgic that is."
Xue Daoguang said: "I haven't returned home for many years. Your Excellency said that I miss my hometown a little."
Taira Kiyomori continued to express his love for the Ming Dynasty: "Sometimes I often think that maybe I was from the Tang Dynasty in my previous life. Before going to the Ming Dynasty, I seemed like an uncivilized hozen. The Ming Dynasty is another world, where all the greatest existences exist."
Xue Daoguang smiled and asked: "Why don't you move to Daming to settle down?"
Ping Qingsheng laughed dryly and changed the subject to talk about the scenery of Luoyang.
After half an hour of detours, Taira Kiyomori finally said: "Can Taoist Master help me contact His Majesty the Ming Emperor?"
Xue Daoguang said: "I am an old man, how can I be virtuous? I saw that there is the Governor's Palace on the other side of Yinshan."
Taira Kiyomori said: "I have already sent people to Ishimi, but the governor has not given a clear answer. I have heard for a long time that the Taoist priest has an old relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, so I just need to send a letter for help. After the matter is completed, this Taoist temple
As the center, everything within a radius of five miles will be donated to the Taoist priest."
Xue Daoguang was noncommittal.
Taira Kiyomori said: "I just want to use the stone to see the two hundred knights of the Governor's Palace and gain the approval of His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Xue Daoguang thought for a long time and finally said: "I just write a letter for you. I can't guarantee whether it will come true or not."
"That's enough." Taira Kiyomori said.
After Xue Daoguang finished writing the letter, Ping Qingsheng personally collected it and took it away.
He left the Taoist temple and returned all the way to Ping An Jing.
If it continued to develop for a few years with the benefit of sea trade, Ping Qingsheng would not need to borrow troops from the Ming Dynasty at all.
If Taira Kiyomori is willing to share the profits from sea trade, he will also get the support of more Western warriors and will not need to borrow troops from the Ming Dynasty.
However, Taira Kiyomori likes to eat alone.
Not to mention sharing the sea trade profits with the Western warriors, he was even unwilling to share them with his own father. Now that the war situation was unfavorable, he allocated a port to his father in exchange for his father's full support for him.
This guy is a dictator.
Historically, after he came to power by force, he owned more than 500 manors in the bigger country of Japan, and controlled large areas of land around the manors. He sent children to inquire about public opinion, and if there was any suspicion, he killed ministers and civilians. Watching the people outside the city
There are countless dilapidated thatched houses, and Qingsheng is becoming more and more unpleasant to the eyes.
The same capital city, Luoyang and Kaifeng are so prosperous outside the city, but these thatched houses in front of us are simply unsightly.
Taira Kiyomori really misses the time when he studied abroad in Ming Dynasty!
Everything is so beautiful.
The longer he returned to Japan, the more the relevant memories were beautified. He took the initiative to ignore the discrimination he suffered in the Ming Dynasty, missed some of the friends he had made, and even asked the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants to help him send letters to his friends.
Many daily necessities in Ping Qingsheng's house were imported from the Ming Dynasty.
In the past few years, some people have brought tea seeds to Japan, and they are still only cultivated in a small area. However, tea drinking has become popular in Heianjing, and the nobles mainly drink tea from Zhejiang and Huainan.
Ping Qingsheng liked to drink Sichuan tea and Fujian tea, because the two Ming emperors also liked to drink it.
He looked down upon the Japanese aristocrats who drank tea from Zhejiang and Huainan, thinking that they were just a bunch of bumpkins. He would rather spend more money to drink the same tea as the Ming Emperor.
The next year, spring begins.
Japan's East-West War resumes.
Minamoto Yoshitomo gave full play to his diplomatic talents and increased the number of Dongguo troops.
This man was hated by his biological father because of his maternal grandfather. Although he was the eldest son, he was deprived of his inheritance rights since he was a child.
His father threw him back to the countryside, where he was completely free-range. However, he relied on his adoptive father's connections to win over a lot of local forces when he was only ten years old. By the time he was twenty, he controlled more samurai than his biological father.
He now has two wives and a large number of concubines, each of whom represents a power.
On the other hand, Ping Kiyomori is like a dog.
In a battle in the spring, Taira Kiyomori was defeated again.
In desperation, Taira Kiyomori took out a large amount of treasures and rewarded them to the Western Samurai Group, and promised benefits to attract some monk soldiers, and finally stopped the advance of Genji's front.
A reply from the Ming court was also delivered.
After reading the letter, Pingqing was furious - Emperor Zhu asked him to cede Kyushu Island!
The poor place in Kyushu is indeed poor, but there are some who are not poor.
Especially Fukuoka, which is a node of exchanges between China and Japan. The envoys sent to Tang Dynasty went to sea in Fukuoka. Various advanced Chinese technologies, including rice, also entered Japan from Fukuoka.
Fukuoka was developed very early. Around the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, sea trade became more and more developed. The Hakata area of Fukuoka has now developed into a large port city, ranking among the top five in Japan in terms of urban population.
In response to Emperor Zhu's reply, Ping Qingsheng sat there for a whole day.
Although Emperor Zhu opened his mouth, he also gave more favorable conditions:
First, the Ming Dynasty provided 2,000 elite soldiers to help Binh Chiang Saen defeat the Eastern Allied Forces, and did not need Binh Chiang Saen to provide military expenses and food.
Second, the Ming Dynasty was willing to lend Taira Kiyomori a low-interest loan of 1 million guan, using the tax revenue from ports in the Seto Inland Sea as collateral.
Third, the Ming Dynasty presented Ping Qingsheng with 500 pairs of armor.
Fourth, the Ming Dynasty recognized the king supported by Taira Kiyomori and supported Taira Kiyomori as regent as a general. However, the Japanese emperor, who has been renamed Tenno, can only be called king, lord or king from now on.
Fifth, the Ming Dynasty supported Taira Kiyomori’s exclusive trading rights in the Seto Inland Sea.
Sixth, the Ming Dynasty sent 30 prospectors to help Ping Qingsheng explore gold, silver, and copper mines and teach more advanced gold, silver, and copper smelting methods.
Seventh, the Ming Dynasty could open a mint in Fukuoka and help Taira Kiyomori turn gold, silver and copper mines into Japanese coins. Taira Kiyomori could use this to control Japan's minting power and influence and control the economic activities of local counties.
At night.
Taira Kiyomori lit the whale oil lamp, read the letter carefully again, and then placed the letter above the lamp and lit it.
He agreed because Daming gave too much.
With the support of the Ming Dynasty, he could abolish the government, establish a shogunate as a general to control the king and the country, and exclusively enjoy the trade in the Seto Inland Sea, making a fortune every day.
As for Kyushu, just cede it to the Ming Dynasty. It is not his territory anyway.
Trading with Ming Dynasty for things that are not yours is actually a very good deal. As for being blamed for losing territory, there is no need to worry. If you kill more people, you won't dare to scold him.
Emperor Zhu, who was far away in Luoyang, wrote this letter with a bad taste.
The twenty-one chapters of the Shogunate version?
Aside from his bad taste, Ju Ming has made a lot of money.
The island of Kyushu was captured, the two large ports of Fukuoka and Nagasaki were acquired, and countless gold, silver and copper mines in Kyushu were obtained.
Moreover, Emperor Zhu also had evil intentions when he helped Ping Qing Sheng to prospect for mines and taught him advanced mining techniques. He just wanted Japan to mine more gold, silver, and copper, and then the Ming Dynasty used trade to earn away those precious metals.
Helping Taira Kiyomori mint coins, and even obtaining the right to mint Japanese coins in disguise.
In addition, supporting Taira Kiyomori to establish the shogunate is also emasculating Japan.
Once the shogunate is established, in order to control the local area, various policies of the shogunate will become more and more conservative, and the Japanese nobles will become more corrupt and decadent. It will also be difficult to develop local military power because the shogunate will actively weaken the local military power.
If Japan wants to develop, it must overthrow the shogunate!
The Ming Dynasty will send troops to help the shogunate suppress the rebellion at critical moments. At that time, the shogunate will have to provide military expenses. If it cannot afford the money, it will be deducted from Japanese customs duties.
