Chapter 284 General Baikui (sixty) has full power over Japan
Soon, only the monarch, his ministers and a few eunuchs were left in the main hall of Wenhua Palace. Zhu Yijun stood up, waved his hand to Chen Ju beside him, and said, "Please withdraw, wait outside the hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Ju bowed and took three steps back, waved to several eunuchs, and quickly exited the hall.
Zhu Yijun waved to Gao Pragmatic and said: "The main hall is inconvenient, let's go to the side hall."
Gao pragmatically knew that if Zhu Yijun wanted to stay in the Wenhua Hall and speak, he would definitely choose to speak in the side hall, because the side hall was where they were "classmates" together in their early years. It would be easy to evoke emotions when talking there, and both parties would subconsciously take into account each other's feelings and the effect of communication.
optimal.
Thinking of this, Gao Pragmatic suddenly had some understanding: It seems that the emperor may have to talk to him about some "private matters" today, and it may be related to power.
While they were thinking about it, the monarch and his ministers had already arrived at the side hall, with Zhu Yijun in front and Gao Pragmatic in the back. Zhu Yijun habitually walked to the desk where he was studying and sat down, and Gao Pragmatic naturally sat down in front of his desk.
Position. Zhu Yijun occupies the main position, and Gao Pinggong is next to him and to the south.
It seemed that Zhu Yijun was particularly relaxed as soon as he arrived here, so he spoke very directly: "Rixin, Jin Yiwei came to report yesterday and talked about some situations related to North Korea. One of them I think is quite strange, but I think you may know it.
I know the inside story, so I’ll leave it to you to inquire.”
Gao Pangshi has been busy dealing with disasters across the country recently, and he really hasn't paid much attention to the situation in North Korea. But after hearing what the emperor said, he had no choice but to reply: "Excuse me, Your Majesty."
"The move of Nanjing to North Korea was his proposal. Gyeongsang Province was divided into seven parts from the north to the south, and was divided between the seven Tokugawa brothers. It was his direct arrangement. Logically speaking, the Tokugawa brothers were also related to him by marriage, so they should be the most
The governor should be cautious. However, Jinyiwei said yesterday that Gyeongsang Province is divided into north and south. Recently, they have been training soldiers and horses, hoarding weapons and food, and they seem to have no intention of doing wrong... What did he say about this? "
Gao Pragmatic was startled at first, and then suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that's what happened. I really know the inside story about this matter."
"Among the seven elders, Toyotomi Ieyasu is the weakest and the most clumsy in his methods. If I interfere, although a small war will definitely break out between the dogmatic faction and the observant faction, in the end the battle will end with Toyotomi
If it ends with a small victory and... is likely to be a short and one-sided war, then it's broken."
But the problem is, even if Jinghua did not directly send troops to conquer Japan, Japan's trade was almost completely controlled by the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance. It has always been the sphere of influence of the "Pan-Jinghua Clan"! Will the emperor have any control over it in the future?
I don’t have any objections to this, so why do I seem to be satisfied now?
"Oh, you know this. Those few people themselves are not the smallest vassal town. Even if we don't have any internal conflicts, we are still willing to shake the foundation of the feudal system. And since we have control of the Ye He court, we are bound to harm the public and enrich ourselves.
, pulling the food from Ye He’s family out of his own bowl. If he does that, he will definitely deepen the conflict with these seven followers...Sooner or later, we will definitely fight."
Thanks to book friend "klauszx" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Pragmatic was a daughter who couldn't speak frankly.
"The Tokugawa alone is naturally enough." Gao pragmatically said: "If you want to conquer the Japanese country, you must first rule out the cross-sea expedition..."
"Is it enough for the Tokugawa family?" Xin Yanchao asked again.
However, before the transfer, it became a matter of the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance. What is the Maritime Trade Alliance? It is an interest alliance of the Jingnan nobles and the foundation of the imperial power, so the emperor would approve of it, or even just listen to it.
However, I don't think there is any threat at all.
From the perspective of the Maritime Trade Alliance, in order to complete the emperor's mission, Toyotomi Ieyasu must be able to unify the Japanese country nervously. Even if it is completed in name, the strength of the local vassal towns must be maintained.
As a result, no one in the various vassal towns will obey his orders. Only in this way will the Japanese trade be controlled by you, Xiao Ming, and the interests of the Japanese country will continue to flow into you, Xiao Ming."
"If Your Majesty wants to ask that question, I can only answer: As far as Jinghua is concerned, the Japanese country can be conquered but must be conquered." Gao Pragmatic pondered for a moment and answered seriously.
"So the Ye He family wants to reduce the vassal status?" Kawa Ieyasu asked consciously.
"It doesn't mean that he intends to interfere without limit in the upcoming war in Japan, so he lets the Tokugawa brothers secretly gather strength?" Kawa Ieyasu returned to the original topic.
"No, I won't bother him anymore. As long as you, Xiao Ming, can maintain the profits from sea trade with Japan, he will take care of Japan's affairs by himself, so I won't have to interfere with him."
The truth is of course that truth, otherwise why would Kawa Ieyasu be so nervous? Yes, if he should ask, Kawa Ieyasu still has to ask: "So, why are we preparing for war this time? Could it be that the various onslaughts have just completed their move to the town, and there is no relationship between them?
Is a conflict about to break out? North Korea wants to establish a province, but we are left to do our own thing as if we were born in Liaodong."
"Why is it broken?" Kawa Ieyasu didn't understand at all.
The "raw land" outside Sichuan Ieko refers to the land within the Liaodong border wall. These places are also Ming lands in name, but in fact they are not really under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there are also a few Han people in the area. On the contrary, the land within the Liaodong border wall
Not "refined ground".
Kawa Ieyasu suddenly smiled and interrupted: "Cross-sea expeditions have always been easy, as you know, but it seems too difficult for today's Beijing, right? Why, Southern Xinjiang and Luzon are so small
The land is still enough for Beijing to torment, and even the Japanese country has been listed as one of the targets?"
"Japanese country? Well, let him tell me what happened." Although Xin Yanchao said this, he didn't seem very surprised to me. He even seemed to have not expected anything special.
That was the first time that Kawakawa Ieyasu called "I" in this conversation, which does not mean that that sentence was not the final decision.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is." Gao Pragmatic was very pleased. The emperor didn't understand what exactly stood behind the power, so as long as he analyzed the current situation in Japan to me, I would be able to draw the conclusion immediately.
In conclusion, I know that sooner or later there will be no war between the two factions in Japan. My classmate from eighty years later is not a mature emperor yet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I obey the decree." Gao Pragmatic stood up and bowed, formally taking over the "errand", and added another question by the way: "If the emperor needs to confer some people in the first place,
…”
Now that the traitor Yehe Hideyoshi is dead, his subordinates are divided into two factions, one is the arbitrary faction, and the other is the obedient faction. Your Majesty cannot understand that the local feudal towns and the central courtiers are each divided into one faction..."
"That's true." Gao Pragmatic sighed and said, "That matter has to start with the imperial court's expedition to Japan."
However, Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to care. Instead, he chuckled, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is not someone who knows the military. How could he know the situation of the troops stationed in various places in North Korea, and even the hidden secrets of the intrigues between the various forces?
"The disadvantages of conquering the Japanese country have not been mentioned by me since then, so I will repeat them again. However, the court has no more urgent matters to deal with. In addition, Emperor Taizu's stipulation that 'it is a conquering country' also has great consequences for the government and the opposition."
It had no impact at all, so it was decided to send a small army to conquer the Japanese country later.
Such a change: the ten merchants selling fans are all from the same owner, and that owner has set a highest selling price. No matter how eloquent the minister is, the ten merchants do not insist that they are.
Can I change the owner's decision, so I can still get the highest price for the fan?"
Gao pragmatically raised a finger and said: "It can be defeated by the enemy. The Japanese country sent troops to Korea, but lost its troops twice and lost its generals, resulting in a small loss of national strength. The Japanese country paid less tribute during its conquests, but gained nothing before the war.
, so that domestic conflicts intensified.
"It's up to you to attack." Gao pragmatically said: "Jinghua has been operating a monopoly on Japanese trade for seventy years. Even if the Westerners came across the sea, if Jinghua allowed it, they would not be able to enter the Japanese trade. Therefore.
, The advantage of the Japanese country seems to lie with Ye He, but in fact it lies with Jinghua - in this case, why does Jinghua have to use swords and soldiers to conquer the Japanese country? "
"Of course this is enough, I will have to put in some effort myself."
"Your Majesty is wise, so my minister Xiao Ming may have to send troops to the Japanese country. As long as he uses the same method as Tumut to deal with the Japanese country, he will be able to control his life and death in the long run. However, Jinghua - or the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance, is based on the facts.
The person who did this.
Kawakawa Ieyasu waved his hand and said: "If you tell me to leave it to him, leave it to him. As long as he thinks it should be canonized, I will canonize it for us."
The back of Kawa Ieyasu's eyes lit up, but he didn't notice that Gao Panggang had cleverly used a concept shift in addition to the previous paragraph. Originally, it was only my personal matter that Gao Panggang interfered with Japan - at least it was my Beijing business.
Gao pragmatic thought for a moment and said: "I will make an assumption: I want to buy fans today, and there are not ten merchants selling fans in the market. Then I can't ask each of us for the price, and then lower the price separately.
Buy that fan at the highest price?
"He said that for Jinghua, the enemy must be defeated. It doesn't mean that we don't have such internal contradictions. Sooner or later there will be no battle, so Jinghua cannot take the opportunity to attack it?" Xin Yanchao thought: "So, what does it mean that it is necessary to attack
'?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Toyotomi Ieyasu is an old fox. If I unify Japan, I will inevitably weaken the centralization of power, eliminate the country and reduce the feudal status of those who approve of me, and finally firmly control the real power of Japan. If there is no other way, our vassal can't challenge me, Toyotomi."
Home. In this way, the Japanese state will be more stable than in the Hideyoshi era of Xinyan, and once it is stable, it will have a small impact on Beijing's trade monopoly..."
But the problem in the eyes of the Japanese state is that the Qi Fengxing does not fully represent the Ye He court, but the Qi Xiao Lao does not have the lowest power to assist the government - however, the so-called Qi Xiao Lao is actually the seven smallest vassal towns."
"Then why?" It seems that although Xin Yanchao knows the operation of power very well, I have not thought about the relationship between power and trade.
"It could have been like this." Gao Pragmatic nodded and replied.
"Oh?" Kawa Ieyasu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me with a half-smile: "His words must be heard by others, otherwise, it will be like 'the minister connives with the general, hiding the military intelligence but reporting on it'"
The hat will be placed on his head."
That statement is wrong, and it is indeed wrong. After all, the profits from the trade with Japan went back to the Sea Trade Alliance and "flowed into Xiao Ming". The emperor would be sensitive enough to notice the difference - after all, I am the emperor, and in the
In my mind, all I need to do is quit Xiao Ming, not to mention the noble forces of the Jingnan faction behind the Sea Trade Alliance are still my important power base.
"Oh?" Kawa Ieyasu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why is that?"
Kawakawa Ieyasu thought for a moment and pondered: "He is saying that you cannot treat the Japanese country as you treat Tumute's daughter. If you control their trade, they will surely surrender in the long run?"
However, according to inquiries sent by the ministers, the Japanese country did not have a population of more than 10 million, and its territory was slightly smaller than that of Nanzhili. It was not the "most powerful country" that many people said. Looking at the country's defeat of North Korea a few years later, we can see that the country was
The strength is also quite strong. Although it has been defeated by your empire now, if you sit back and watch it lick its wounds, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to China a few years ago. Therefore, I think something must be done to ensure that it is
A rebellious heart will reappear."
Gao pragmatic's heart suddenly thumped, and he suddenly became alert. Although the emperor said it with a smile, the meaning behind the words could be said to be too "peaceful"... Could it be that I think Jinghua's hands are too long, or maybe
Are you saying your hands are too long?
Thanks to book friend "Cao Mianzi" for your reward and support, thank you!
Thinking of the Xinyan brothers, they could only gather about 70,000 soldiers and horses with their combined efforts. They were not surrounded by Jeolla, Chungcheong, Gangwon and other places. The relationship between these people was indescribably harmonious.
Even if Xin Yan really doesn't have my intentions, those men must be the first to bear the brunt. If we need to take measures, we should take measures first.
But we must follow the idea of low pragmatism to turn the Japanese country into another Tumut. We stopped your Xiaoming's trade imports a few years ago. If we think of some way by then, we may be able to get another Anda to pay tribute.
Even North Korea is included. In this way, the possible threat of Japan in the future will be completely eliminated? What a wonderful plan, it is indeed my Rixin!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh... you understand." Xin Yanchao reacted immediately and nodded: "I am sure that Toyotomi Ieyasu successfully unified the Japanese country and held a small amount of power. If anyone dares to resist,
Jinghua’s business is in bad shape, and the price of its purchases of Japanese products may rise slightly, resulting in a profit.”
Kawakawa Ieyasu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "What is he going to do? The small army of the imperial court went out immediately, and he planned to let Tokugawa conquer the Japanese country? He also said just now that the full force of Tokugawa would be over 70,000 soldiers.
Even if we all come out in force, I’m afraid we won’t be able to conquer Japan, right?”
Kawakawa Ieyasu took a deep breath and felt that what he said was very unreasonable. Because Emperor Taizu's "country of conquest", there were not many people in the world who turned around, and they didn't think that they could follow the ancestors.
system.
However, Gao Pragmatic changed the concept seven times, saying that the interests of trade with Japan were controlled by the Sea Trade Alliance, saying that "the interests of Japan are constantly flowing into you Xiaoming." He completed the "Jinghua\u003d Sea Trade Alliance" and "Sea Trade Alliance"
Alliance\u003dXiao Ming’s transformation.
What's more, your imperial troops are in Seoul and Pyongyang has not retreated. They are overwhelming the various Nanzhen tribes in the south. Unless I, brother Xin Yan, think that I have a long life, how dare I do nothing? If it is neither a plan nor a track, why should I do it?
Is it enough to add enough to the problem?"
That is obviously a question that can only be asked by people who think too "Chinesely", because Japan's central government, whether it is the emperor's era or the shogunate's era, has not completed the true centralization of power like the Chinese women, and the reduction of vassals is almost a castle in the air.
There is no basis for public opinion in society, and there is no support from lower-level institutions.
----------
"Obviously, did he choose that way in the end? What's the reason?" Kawa Ieyasu asked.
The down-to-earth and pragmatic woman introduced the emperor, and then said: "Therefore, it is very difficult to cut down a vassal in the Japanese country. Unless the central leader Ye He determines that a vassal is following its system and obeying the discipline, then the conquest cannot be carried out.
Defeating the front can reduce the vassal state or reduce the seal.\r
