In fact, Kashiwagi Yiji thinks too much about his own king - for a family that has been working for several lifetimes, there is an opportunity to exchange false fame for benefits. This temptation is absolutely irresistible.
This is especially true for Masachika Town. This man is the legitimate son of Emperor Go-Nara. For three years after the death of Emperor Go-Nara, the royal family did not even have the money to hold the succession ceremony of Masachika Town. Later, it took a few dollars to wait.
The daimyo couldn't stand it, so he organized a fundraiser to end Japan's absurd reality of not having an official emperor for three years.
Masachimachi has not succeeded to the throne for three years. He himself does not care too much. Anyway, he is hungry and working as a puppet in the leaky, wet and cold palace. It really doesn't matter whether the enthronement ceremony was held or not. His father, Emperor Nara, succeeded to the throne.
It took me several years to get enough money together, let alone the eldest brother.
Another thing that left a huge psychological shadow on Masachika Town was that when his father, Emperor Nara, died, he did not even have funeral money. It was not until Miyoshi came to Luo that he collected 600 kando (property property).
tax) as funeral expenses, the emperor was buried.
Gonara's body was kept in the Kuroto Imperial Palace for two and a half months. Even though there was lime in the coffin, it still smelled bad when it was buried in the Fukakusa Hokurumo, the imperial family cemetery. Masachika Town completely collapsed during the funeral, and it has been unable to survive since then.
The problem with eating meat - Of course, although Masachika himself is a vegetarian, he does not advocate Japanese people to follow him and not eat meat, and the Japanese people do not hate him. [Note 1]
It should be said that the shoguns and daimyo during the Warring States Period in Japan seriously underestimated the emperor's influence among the people. After nearly a thousand years of propaganda about the emperor as a half-god and half-human, the Japanese ignorant people actually respect the emperor very much. The first understanding
It was Oda Nobunaga who found the emperor's rare treasures to live in. After he started his career, he became the real powerful master of the town, Katsuko, and at least he was no longer hungry.
After the incident at Honnoji Temple in this time and space, the major forces that split the Oda family inherited Oda Nobunaga's political policy of "holding the emperor to order the princes" and took good care of the royal family's life supply. Masachika Machimitsu thought that he could at least be able to do this in his life.
Be a damn ghost.
Unexpectedly, there was a loud thunderbolt, and the Ming Dynasty sent General Ling Yunyi to bring order to the country! Look how well the imperial envoy Jun Ling said: "If the ruler is not supported, who will be virtuous; if he does not punish, he will not be a father."
"Sir, who is afraid of authority?" - This is His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty supporting me!
After seeing Ling Yunyi's message, Masachikachi was particularly pleased that he sent out the "King Lord's Worship" - four hundred years have passed since Genji established the Kamakura shogunate! The nominal master of Japan can finally control half of his own destiny.
Instead of becoming a puppet used by the Wu family to decorate their appearance!
Therefore, let alone Ming Dynasty asking Masachika Town to make up a surname for him, even if Ling Yunyi or Li Chengliang asked him to call him daddy, he would not hesitate at all. Moreover, Masachika Town did not value the emperor's name or face at all.
, his father, Emperor Nara, made a living by selling calligraphy when he was alive. The streets of Kyoto were full of plaques with the emperor's inscriptions. After his death, his body even stunk and was not buried. Is the emperor's name and face worth paying 600 kusen?
The generals sent by the Ming Dynasty to suppress the country have enough force to suppress the world. What's even better is that they have no interest in ruling Japan. They are just lustful and love money. They are simply the best "Wang Xiejun". Moreover, there is no need to worry about money or beautiful women.
After the "return of the great power", under the coercion of Ling Yunyi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Shibata Katsuie and Tokugawa Ieyasu, all the old Oda minions, were forced to bleed a lot of money to subsidize the emperor, so that the land that Masachika-machi held in his hands suddenly increased from three thousand koku.
When it increased to 300,000 koku, the wealth increased directly by a hundred times. Although it was not as good as the top daimyo, there was no need to give the princes and princesses citizenship and let them fend for themselves!
Yes, the Japanese emperor's territorial income was only 3,000 koku during the Azuchi-Momoyama era. This amount of income made it difficult for all members of the royal family to have enough food and clothing. In desperation, in addition to keeping seed, all the other sons and daughters were given to the successive emperors.
The surname makes it easier for commoners to adopt or marry commoners. Otherwise, these emperors' clans will break up and ask for dowry. This is another form of selling children and daughters. Later generations will continue to the Japanese royal family in the 21st century.
It also stipulates that when a princess marries, she must leave the imperial family and cannot bring a dowry, which is a "fine tradition" left over from the Azuchi era.
In addition to the increase in territory, Ling Yunyi also stipulated when implementing the policy that if the daimyo of various places wanted to "perpetuate their family name", they must obtain the endorsement of the King of Japan. That is, when the title is inherited, the Masachika Town must issue a "commission". This
The commission charges a production fee according to the size of the daimyo's territory. The average price is about one hundred taels of gold, which is considered an inheritance tax.
In addition, the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty was stationed in Japan, and the war on the archipelago was stopped, so the daimyo no longer had to spend money to raise an army. Therefore, they needed to pay a "military cessation tax" according to the size of their territory. As the Ming Dynasty brought peace to Japan, it reduced military expenditures and
Compensation for casualties, this fee can be collected approximately 2.2 million taels in the thirteenth year of Wanli, and a proportion of it will be used as a subsidy for the office expenses of the Japanese court - using this hand, the Ming Dynasty made great progress in military and financial affairs
At the same time, the fate of Japan was held in its hands.
There are good things going on here in Masachika Town. After Lingyun Yi ascends to Luo, Kyoto will regain its image as a royal capital and will surely become a place of commercial convergence. Is there any business tax in Kyoto? The Japanese royal family can also join forces with the Ming army.
Adding up these miscellaneous expenses, Zhengqin Town can be said to be a poor boy suddenly rich. "The serfs turned over and started singing", grinning silly every day, which really made Zhu Yijun and Ling Yunyi grateful to the bones.
Therefore, Bai Mu Yi Pheasant was just taking carrots and not worrying about it. He was running around in the Ming Dynasty for the surname of the king. Little did he know that Zhengqin Machi had already made up his mind to hold on to Zhu Yijun's thigh. I would do whatever the Ming Dynasty father asked me to do. Well, let's go back.
Offer the Tiancongyun Sword and Qiongmagatama to the emperor, and keep the eight-foot mirror to look at it often, to remind yourself not to blindly play, otherwise once the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops, you will have to be blinded.
The so-called Tian Cong Yun Sword, Qiong Magatama and Bachi Mirror are iron swords, jade hooks and mirrors obtained by the emperor's line from China during the Han Dynasty when Japanese tribes were fighting. Because the manufacturing technology was far beyond the level of Japan's primitive tribes at that time, they were
Although they are said to be "artifacts", they are actually considered trashy items in the Han Dynasty - the Japanese still believe that these items are brought by gods from the sky. [Note 2]
Of course, if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not dislike the fact that his princess was ugly, it was also part of Masachika Town's plan to send two warm quilts to the emperor. However, Masachika Town was embarrassed to mention this, because the mainstream of the Imperial family in this era was internal intermarriage.
The appearance of this princess is a bit eye-catching.
...
The lord of the country is embarrassed to mention this, but the daimyo from all over the country don't care about that. The story of the Western Region's Huoluo Chixian girl winning the title has already spread to Japan. After Lingyun Yi came to Luo, the Satsuma lord Shimazu Yoshihisa immediately came to the territory
A beauty pageant was held, and six little girls were sent to the palace to serve the emperor. They were just working as palace maids and doing chores without any status - if their own girls were not too ugly, Shimazu Yoshihisa would have no mercy.
After Shimadzu took the lead, Japanese beauty pageants are now in full swing. Within a few days of Marshal Ning Yuan's visit to Japan, several people begged him to do this. Li Chengliang was so disturbed that he made a secret report specifically for this matter.
For this reason, Zhu Yijun had to issue a decree, ordering Li Chengliang to stop the Japanese beauty pageants - because the emperor was young and powerful, Korea, Japan, and the southwestern vassals simply regarded him as a lustful ghost, and they all wanted to ask their wives for sacrifice.
The woman's attitude was too much for the emperor.
...
After some fiddling, Zhu Yijun restored a new balance among the major forces in Japan. The Ming garrison was on one side, the Japanese ruler was on the other, and the feudal lords were on the other. These three parties held military force, in name and on the ground, respectively. The Ming garrison and the country were on the other side.
After the two parties were tied together, they formed a balance of power with the feudal lords, and the "First Battle" with three casualties determined the overall situation of Japan for a century.
After Ling Yunyi returned to China, he often reviewed the entire Japanese strategy and admired Zhu Yijun. The whole plan was clean and tidy, and it was a matter of course. It was like thundering silently. The essence was that the emperor had an extremely good grasp of the entire situation in Japan and obtained the victory at the minimum cost.
Get the maximum benefit.
Among them, the understanding of the title of the leader of Japan, the power and personal character of the famous names in Satsuma, Hashiba and other places are all very subtle. Ling Yunyi's doing more or less in Japan will not lead to better results.
If the temple adopts the strategy of attacking Kyoto first, the relationship with the Japanese ruler will definitely be difficult to turn around, and the subsequent reactions of Yu Shiba and the daimyo are completely uncontrollable; if the Maori family, a lord who has always faced Yu Shiba's threat, is not chosen as the breakthrough point in Shangluo,
Ling Yunyi still has to spend a lot of effort; the policy of uniting a large number of people and attacking Oda's old department has captured the mentality of daimyo all over Japan - don't even think about what I can't get, let's just break up in two.
The proposal of the three chapters of the covenant of "returning the great government," "terminating the war," and "perpetuating the family name" respectively took into account the fundamental interests of the country's ruler, the people, and the daimyo. Once it was proposed, everyone in Japan was delighted.
As for Oda's old men, Hashiba Hideyoshi and others lost the opportunity to control the world in Shangluo, but their fundamentals were not lost, so they would not do anything to jump over the wall. However, the daimyo from various places divided Japan and kept the archipelago in a semi-divided state forever.
It is in the best interests of Ming Dynasty - the so-called black hat is turned up at both ends. It is so good to eat the plaintiff and eat the defendant. Ling Yunyi has the most say.
As for whether Japan will have a hero like Oda again in the future, Ling Yunyi has no worries about it. Look at the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Japan's Warring States Period. From enfeoffment to unification, it is impossible without a bloody battle. However, it is a fool's errand in his own country.
Does Japan still need to worry?
As for the descendants of the Japanese rulers becoming British rulers, Ling Yunyi sneered even more. The so-called "return of great political power" was actually "return of money", which only allowed the Japanese rulers to live a decent life. The emperor's edicts were not allowed to leave Kyoto.
The bottom line that a daimyo can tolerate - and, no matter how wise a leader is if he cannot raise troops, there is no room for him to show it? What's more, the Ming Dynasty is stripping away the "sacredness" of the Japanese leader, and letting him take a surname is the first step.
The major events in Japan were settled. Ling Yunyi, who watched the cypress ducks bow their heads and go out, sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head, and expressed his envy that Li Chengliang was about to live a life of immortality. At the same time, Ling Yunyi also knew very well in his heart,
I made the "Three Chapters of Agreement" in Japan and insisted on returning to my country. This was an extremely correct decision.
