Zhu Zhanzhen came to Hiroshima for the first time. It was a peaceful and peaceful place. It was here that Zhu Yunwen and others developed steam engines, but they are now useless. The steam engines they made were not practical and were completely different from Zhu Zhanzhen's steam engine factory.
On the same level.
When Zhu Zhanzhen arrived in Hiroshima, the news of the death of Emperor Shimitsu also came. In a short period of time, both Ashikaga Yoshitoshi and Emperor Shimitsu died, but Zhu Zhanzhen could rule out the suspicion because there was no Zhu Zhan beside them.
People exist.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune is in a state of distress now, because Ashikaga Yoshimochi's son Ashikaga Yoshimochi died three months ago, so Ashikaga Yoshimochi is now the first heir to the shogun. The nobles of Japan are ready to move, and the turmoil in Japan is also fermenting.
among.
Zhu Zhanzhen was not in a hurry to intervene in this matter.
At the port, Zhu Zhanyi met the monk Huasou Zongtan, the most famous old man in Japanese Buddhism in this era.
This is a short man with thinning hair and even missing teeth. He could easily become a beggar on the street just by changing into a cassock.
As soon as Zongchun introduced the two of them, Huasou Zongtan took Zhu Zhanyi to see Emperor Hou Xiaosong.
Many people were looking at Zhu Zhanzhen on the road. This tall and elegant young man was the legendary Prince of Zhujiang County.
They really wanted to go up and ask him, is Daming really as good as the rumors say?
The people at the bottom of Japan are full of yearning for the Ming Dynasty. That powerful and fertile country may be able to alleviate their sorrow and suffering.
Arriving at the place where Zhu Yunwen was, Yang Feng led the guards to completely surround the residence, and Zhu Zhanzhen led people inside.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County, long time no see."
Zhu Zhanzhen sat down and said: "Emperor Gokomatsu is so clever. In just a few days, he killed Ashikaga Yoshitomichi and Emperor Komitsu."
The most surprised ones were Hei Sheji, Li Xianyu and others. They didn't know why Zhu Zhanzhen said this, but they also understood that what Zhu Zhanzhen said must be what Emperor Houxiaosong did.
It's understandable to kill Ashikaga Yoshitomichi, but what about Emperor Mitsuo? To them, he was his biological son.
Zhu Zhanzhen did not let the two of them avoid the incident this time, including Zhang Xianqi and Yang Feng, who were also waiting aside.
"It can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of His Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County. It is a trivial effort, but it is not worth mentioning. However, now that the general and the emperor of Japan are dead, the current situation is turbulent. How to stabilize it can only depend on His Highness the Prince of Pearljiang County. My abilities are limited.
, I'm afraid I won't be able to help." Zhu Yunwen spoke in a very calm tone.
"All you need to do is give Kui to me."
This is the purpose of Zhu Zhanzhen's trip, he wants to receive Kui.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County, you are a little too impatient. What you need to do now is to let the King of Han and the Crown Prince fight first. Only the snipe and the clam can fight for the fisherman to gain." Emperor Hou Xiaosong's words sounded as if he was Zhu Zhan's son.
General counselor.
Zhu Yunwen narrowed his eyes slightly. The Ming Dynasty was in turmoil now. According to his intelligence, the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu had already quarreled with Zhu Gaochi. When the King of Han bowed down to Zhu Di from the capital, he led his troops to leave. However, he returned to Zhejiang and gathered two troops.
There seems to be signs of war on the edge of Chun and Yingtian.
The reason why the King of Han dared to do this was a secret edict stamped with Zhu Di's seal.
Information about Ming Dynasty is now coming like raindrops every day, and every piece of information says that Ming Dynasty is in turmoil.
"I'm not in a hurry. Now is a good opportunity. I need Kui to do something for me."
"There is no need for the Prince of Zhujiang County to explain, Kui has already taken action. Does your Highness know why Han King Zhu Gaoxu dared to lead troops to approach Yingtian Mansion after returning to his fiefdom? He was upright and without any hesitation."
Zhu Zhanxu had information in hand, but Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to Beijing. He first knelt down to worship Zhu Di and then went to the cabinet to ask for Zhu Di's edict.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the posthumous edict and read it over and over again, but couldn't see any problems. However, when he left the capital and returned to his fiefdom, he took out another posthumous edict, which said that it was passed to Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.
Zhu Di's handwriting and Zhu Di's seal are exactly the same as Zhu Gaochi's. The only difference is the candidate for the succession.
How did the two identical edicts come about?
Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly and said: "My spies are good at writing and have access to Zhu Di's jade seal, so they copied a posthumous edict. This is enough to cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty is turbulent, Your Highness, Prince of Pearl River County, will you have a chance?" It’s coming.”
Zhu Zhanzhen was secretly shocked, who was Zhu Yunwen's spy? He could actually do such a thing. This is why Zhu Zhanzhen must have Kui's information. It would be too dangerous for such a person to ambush in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen was happy to see that the Ming Dynasty was now becoming more chaotic. He had no intention of restoring the country. The only thing he wanted was what I couldn't get. Don't think about it either. He thought that Zhu Zhanzhen was an adventurous careerist and wanted to He stole opportunities when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, so he was willing to let Zhu Zhanyi take advantage of him because he was also using Zhu Zhanyi.
The matter of the two Zhu Di's posthumous edicts has just begun. It will continue to ferment over time and will definitely intensify in the future.
People like Zhu Gaochi will create opportunities if they don't have any opportunities, let alone the opportunity now in front of him. Now that he has the imperial edict in his hand, he has determined that the old man has chosen him as his successor. Zhu Gaochi has been hiding this from him because he wants to tell this matter Hidden.
In Zhu Yunwen's mind, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were fighting. If Zhu Gaochi won, future generations would also say that Zhu Di was the one who spread rumors about Zhu Gaoxu, leaving a stain. It would be better if Zhu Gaoxu won. Zhu Zhanzhen and Zhu Zhanji would definitely continue the war. After that, the Ming Dynasty was still struggling in the quagmire of civil war, and the fourth uncle's family was fighting to the death, which made him happy.
"Both my father and second uncle have received letters. My father wants me to go back to Guangzhou, and my second uncle wants to invite me for a chat, but I don't plan to go back now." Zhu Zhanyi still looked calm.
Zhu Yunwen understood that Zhu Zhanzhen was now a hot potato, and both Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu wanted to win over him.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"How about the last time I asked you to arrange the capture of my eldest brother? Your spies didn't seem to follow your instructions. No matter what I do now, I just make wedding dresses for others. There is an eldest brother in front of me." Zhu Zhan His words were sinister.
"As soon as my spies found the opportunity to report Zhu Zhanji's violation of etiquette, Zhu Di passed away. The matter seemed to have been suppressed by Zhu Gaochi."
"Can it be rescheduled?"
"Arrangements are already being made, and the news will also reach the hands of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu."
Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes narrowed slightly. As long as the matter was handed over, he could follow the clues and find out who was attacking Zhu Zhanji and who was Zhu Yunwen's spy.
After some discussion, Zhu Yunwen was still unwilling to hand over the spy's information. This was his most valuable thing now and he could not hand it over easily.
"I'm very curious about how His Royal Highness the Prince of Pearl River plans to stabilize the situation in Japan."
Zhu Zhanzhen asked Li Xianyu to take out a drawing and put it on the table. It was a Kanyu map of Datian City.
"Ashikaga Yoshitsune is dead. Ashikaga Yoshitsune has done a very good job as the director-general of the Zhuhihe Group in the past six months. I plan to pay dividends first. I will push Ashikaga Yoshitsune to power and become the new Japanese general. As for the emperor's words
, I would like to invite Emperor Hou Xiaosong to come out."
Zhu Zhanzhen's words shocked everyone. People who didn't know Zhu Yunwen's identity were shocked that Zhu Zhanzhen would ask Emperor Houxiaosong to retake the position of Emperor Ning. Huasou Zongtan, who knew Zhu Yunwen's identity, was shocked by Zhu Zhanzhen.
He would actually do this.
Zhu Yunwen usually has some crazy ideas, but his nephew seems to be even crazier than him. Is it a dominant inheritance in the Zhu family?
Huasou Zongtan thought that Zhu Yunwen's words were indeed true. His nephew, the Prince of Zhujiang County, was a complete conspirator, an unscrupulous politician, and a crazy careerist.
He was more ambitious than Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and more ruthless than Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Yunwen told him that Zhu Zhanzhen not only did not kill him, but also planned to cooperate with him to return him to the Ming Dynasty temple name. Huasou Zongtan thought it was Zhu Yunwen
He fell ill again, but now it seems that the Prince of Zhujiang County should be able to do it.
There is no doubt that Zhu Zhanzhen's goal is the throne, so he will continue to cooperate with the Japanese people.
At this time, Huasou Zongtan came out and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County, His Royal Highness Emperor Houxiaosong has abdicated and taking the throne again is not in line with the ancestral system."
"No, I can." Zhu Yunwen said it himself.
"Your Highness..."
"If you still have enough energy left, you should make some contributions to Japan." Zhu Yunwen said grandly.
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly and pointed to the map of Kanyu on the table and said, "I heard from Shi Jianshan that there were silver mines buried underground, so I was interested in having someone go explore for it. Guess what?"
"Really?" Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Zhanchen in surprise. What a coincidence.
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled and nodded: "Well, it's not just some, there are very many, very, very many."
"How many?" Zhu Yunwen asked cautiously.
That's one-third of the world's silver mines this century.
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly: "Probably, how should I put it, just like if all the silver in Japan were collected together, it might only be half of this silver mine."
In an instant, Zhu Yunwen and others were all dumbfounded. This was too amazing. It meant that as long as they kept digging this silver mine, they would have a steady stream of wealth. This incident was enough to cover up the death of the general and the emperor.
The best way to divert conflicts is to have a bigger conflict. As soon as the news of this silver mine is announced, the biggest conflict in Japan will now be how to divide this silver mine. Those Japanese executives and nobles will definitely want to divide it.
A piece of the pie, and to a large extent, war will occur.
This is a silver mine with greater wealth than the current wealth of Japan.
"How does His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County plan to divide this silver mine?" Zhu Yunwen understood that if the silver mine was not handled well, it might trigger turmoil in the entire Japan.
Zhu Zhanzhen came up with his own plan: "Zhu Rihe Group holds 40% of the shares. In this case, all shareholders in Zhu Rihe Group have a share. This is a business that makes money if you dig, and annual dividends are indispensable.
, Zhu Rihe Group’s stock has steadily improved, which is another fortune.”
"In addition, the general's personal share is 10%, which is in addition to the Zhu Rihe Group."
"The Emperor and his family account for 10%. This income is enough for the Emperor and his family to use themselves."
"The nobles and high-ranking officials of Japan can share 20%."
Zhu Yunwen asked eagerly: "What about the last 20 percent?"
"For the last 20%, I will set up an organization called [Japanese Basic Fund] to distribute this asset to ordinary people in Japan, or to build bridges and pave roads in various places, so that all Japanese people can
All enjoy the benefits brought by the silver mine."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened for a moment. Zhu Zhanzhen's behavior was no different from that of a saint. He actually distributed money to the people and saved funds to build bridges and pave roads for them. In Japanese mythology, those mythical characters are not as good as him.
Zhu Yunwen immediately understood the reason why Zhu Zhan did this. There was no doubt that it was to win over the people.
This large silver mine can directly increase Japan's economic situation several times, and ordinary people at the bottom also have a share of these things, but they are not given to him.
Moreover, he had a powerful Ming fleet escorting him behind him, so the Japanese would never dare to go to war with Zhu Zhanyi easily.
Everyone has scored. Maybe some are satisfied and some are not very satisfied, but there will never be large-scale riots. Even for money, everyone will be more peaceful. No one wants their current stable and prosperous life to be destroyed.
destroy.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but sigh that Zhu Zhanzhen was really lucky. Obviously Japan was in such turmoil and civil strife. He thought that Zhu Zhanzhen would use force to intervene in the civil strife in Japan and completely control Japan after the death of Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Emperor Miguangan. However, it happened that
If the Ming Dynasty had its own problems, Zhu Zhanyi would not have many available troops.
But unexpectedly, a big silver mine suddenly appeared, and Zhu Zhanzhen was now the one sharing the cake.
Is the Ashikaga Church willing to be Zhu Zhanzhen's puppet?
It will.
As far as he knew, the Ashikaga Yoshitaka did not have the talents of his father and brother at all, let alone the ambition. As long as he could enjoy peace of mind by following Zhu Zhanzhen Ashikaga Yoshitaka, his financial resources would completely surpass those of his father and brother.
And now Zhu Zhanzhen invited Zhu Yunwen to serve as Emperor Gomatsu again.
Does he want to be his puppet?
No, it's not.
He did not want to be a puppet in the emperor's position, but wanted to hold each other hostage and make himself his assistant. He knew that he would not hand over the Kui Organization, but after seeing that the Kui Organization was able to forge imperial edicts and disrupt the Ming Dynasty,
, he needs his own help.
He needs this power to help him reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, this grandson of yours is really a man in troubled times. With such a person, why worry about the world not being in chaos?
Zhu Zhanzhen looked at Zhu Yunwen with a sinister smile on his face and said: "Your Excellency, I will announce the information about the silver mine in Datian City in a few days. Please come with me. Emperor Cheng Guangyi is dead. I believe it."
Many people from the royal family have already come to see you, to help me stabilize this situation."
Faced with Zhu Zhanzhen's request, why not Zhu Yunzhen: "Okay, I will go with you."
"We can't be together. It's not good to be seen. I'll leave today. Xian'er will stay with you and wait for us to arrive in two days."
