On October 17, the second year of Zhengde, Fusi was imprisoned in Jinyiweibei Town of the capital. It was almost dusk and the light was dim. In a rather comfortably furnished cell, a blazing torch was lit, illuminating the whole room.
Every detail is revealed.
There were only two people in the room, sitting opposite each other across a table.
There was a sumptuous feast of wine and food on the table, all of which were fine delicacies ordered from the Fengwu Pavilion in the capital. However, neither of them made a move, they just looked at each other quietly.
"Why did you release Na Kinoshita?" The speaker was a middle-aged man with a rugged appearance, wearing a red brocade dress, with a ball of flowers on his crown facing the sky. His voice was sharp and unlike ordinary people.
"Let him report to the Ouchi family." Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was none other than Taiqin Erlang, who had surrendered to the Haizhou Prefectural Government Office, and was also known as the first samurai in Kyoto, Togi Kamejumaru.
After spending more than half a month in jails in various places, being escorted around, his face was a little pale, but his fierceness was still the same as before, his eyes were extremely agile, and his expression was somewhat casual, as if he was not in a prison that was like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
Instead, I sat and talked with a few friends in the private room of Fengwu Building.
"Why doesn't he seek death anymore?" A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
"If you want to save your life, go back to Ouchi's house and report the news," Kamesumaru's expression was very relaxed, but the tone of his answer was still more respectful, "For a hero like him, mission is more important than life and reputation."
"It seems like you have the same mind." The middle-aged man picked up the wine glass on the table, made a casual gesture, and drank it in one gulp.
"I dare not deceive Eunuch Qiu." Kamesumaru's face was full of smiles.
Sitting opposite him was Qiu Ju, the eunuch of Dongchang who was one of the Eight Tigers.
Putting down his wine glass, Qiu Ju asked again: "Does Ouchi Yixing believe what you say?"
Kamesumaru nodded and said: "Yi Xing, a scholar, inherited the power of his fathers and was able to occupy the six countries. Now that he has extended his power to Hizen, he is bound to be arrogant and forget his roots in the face of great benefits."
Kamesumaru knew that Eunuch Qiu did not understand the situation of the Japanese country, so he told the advantages and disadvantages of Ouchi Yixing, every word was vivid, especially the three words "forgot the roots", and explained the reasons for the decline of the Ouchi family.
A full ten.
After Eunuch Qiu digested it, Kamejumaru continued: "Kusamin was the first samurai in Kyoto of the Japanese country, and he also abandoned the Hosokawa family and fled. It can be seen that after Masamoto's death, Seigen and Chengzhi fought with each other, and the Hosokawa clan
He is no longer Yoshihei's opponent, and he has the unparalleled former general Ashikaga Yoshisai in his hands. How can he not take the opportunity to go to Luo, defeat Chengyuan, and win the power of the Japanese country?"
Eunuch Qiu smiled hoarsely and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about at all. I, the Ming Dynasty, have no interest in understanding the internal fighting among the Japanese. It's just that the emperor has something to ask you, so please answer it honestly."
Kamesumaru knew that the highlight of the day was coming, so he stood up quickly, gave a big salute to Eunuch Qiu, knelt on the ground again, kowtowed three times to the north, and then said respectfully: "The grassroots of the outside world, respectfully welcome the Holy Master's decree
.”
Qiu Ju looked at him in surprise and was stunned for a long time before saying, "How come you are so familiar with the etiquette of our clan?"
The imperial prison of Jinyiwei is located due south of the imperial city, close to the Dudu Mansion and Daming Gate, and due north of it is the Forbidden City.
Guishouwan replied: "Although the grassroots people live in a foreign land, they are pure Han people. The distant ancestor is Lord Gongyue. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the world was in chaos. From Lelang County to the sea, Han people from 27 counties fled to the Japanese country.
He lives in Taiqin Town, Kuye County, Shancheng State. His surname is Qin, and his family has a complete pedigree. Although he is divided into several branches, such as the Lin family and the Dongyi family, the sacrifices are all made to the Emperor Qin Shihuang to show that he has not forgotten his roots."
Qiu Ju smiled: "Stop showing off with me and tell me something useful."
Kamesumaru quickly knelt on the ground: "Caomin's father once studied with the monks who crossed the sea in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Caomin was not only familiar with the culture of the Ming Dynasty, he also admired the civilization of the Celestial Dynasty since he was a child. He wished he could be reborn in the Ming Dynasty, open up territory for the emperor, and inherit the Ming Dynasty.
culture."….
Qiu Ju shook his head and said, "I still didn't tell the truth."
Kamesumaru gritted his teeth suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Now that the Japanese country is in chaos, it is the time for heroes to rise to prominence. The common people are quite unknown in the Japanese country. If they can get the support of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely accomplish something. If
The great wish of the grassroots people has been fulfilled, and I hope that from generation to generation, we will always be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the regulations of the Duke of Yunnan and Guizhou."
The Duke of Qian's Palace is also known as Prince Mu's Palace. Mu Ying and his son Mu Sheng are both posthumous princes. Therefore, the world calls the Duke's Palace of Guizhou as Prince Mu's Palace. In fact, starting from Mu Sheng, the actual titles awarded are:
They are all Dukes of Guizhou.
The Mu family had been guarding Yunnan, which had complex ethnic relations, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. They were loyal and loyal, and could be said to be a model for vassal states in the past.
Qiu Ju laughed loudly and said: "This is somewhat decent, but Yunnan is also a royal land. Officials, chieftains, and border residents are all rewarded by the court, and they have nothing to do with the Duke of Guizhou."
What he said was a bit particular. He clearly meant that he was talking about the Duke of Guizhou, but in reality he was asking Gui Shoumaru: What benefits do you think you can get in return for my help in helping you succeed?
Kameshoumaru is a hero among men, so he naturally understands what Qiu Ju means, and he quickly replied: "In a humble position, there are three strategies: upper, middle, and lower, which can relieve the father-in-law's worries."
He heard that Eunuch Qiu's words were loose, so he beat the snake and followed it to the stick, claiming that he was in a humble position.
Qiu Ju asked curiously: "How about you tell me?"
Kamesumaru replied: "The next strategy is to rent the city of Sakai to the Celestial Empire at the beginning of Hizuki's rebellion for a permanent period. If the revolt goes well, I will mortgage Iwami Ginzan to the Celestial Empire on the day of Kyoto. After the event is completed, Hizuki will be willing to
The prince will be held hostage by the Celestial Empire, and he will not be rewarded by the Celestial Empire, nor will he succeed to the throne."
Qiu Ju shook his head: "This strategy is not possible, what about the middle strategy?"
Kamesumaru smiled and said: "Private soldiers in low-level positions all use Ming Dynasty as their officers; staff in low-level positions all use Ming Dynasty officials; all wealth and wealth in low-level positions are in the hands of Ming officials."
Qiu Juye laughed and said, "You kid, are you trying to deceive me into being stupid? When I was in the study hall, although I was not as good as Liu Jin and others, I was still proficient in writing and calligraphy. This middle policy may sound reasonable at first, but it is worse than the worst one.
It’s inaudible, don’t mention it again.”
Qiu Juneng was among the Eight Tigers. He relied on more than flattery. He could stand out among tens of thousands of eunuchs and squeeze in front of the emperor to show his favor. Without any real ability, he was simply seeking death.
It should be noted that everyone is jealous. Even Boss Liu has countless open and covert attacks behind him. There are countless people who hope for his death, such as Admiral Zhang and Qiu Ju himself.
Therefore, if the Eight Tigers had no real ability and were "treacherous and incompetent people" as the civil servant group said, then there would have been no need for Yang Yiqing to collude with Zhang Yong. The eunuch group themselves would have found out the truth and crushed the bones of Boss Liu and others to ashes.
Already.
The two strategies of Kamesumaru sound reasonable at first, and they seem to be for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, but upon closer inspection, their true nature is revealed.
The second strategy was obviously to drag the Ming Dynasty into the quagmire of civil war in the Japanese country. The middle strategy was to make the Ming Dynasty stink in the streets of the Japanese country and arouse the resistance of the Japanese people.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Eunuch Qiu, Kamesumaru said sternly: "Don't try to deceive the admiral with the best advice. When I was studying in Japan, my teacher once warned me that the Ming Dynasty was so big and there were so many heroes, it was beyond my imagination.
Now that I have met my father-in-law, I know that everything my mentor said is true."
Qiu Ju waved his hand and said, "Don't fill me with ecstasy soup, the emperor is still waiting for my reply."
Kamesumaru said respectfully: "My mentor once said that when the Japanese country was in chaos, if I wanted to make a difference, I would have to get help from the Ming Dynasty to stand among the great names of various countries. However, I came from across the sea to the west, and everyone I saw was...
I am ignorant, so I am becoming arrogant and arrogant day by day. I hope the Admiral will understand what I just said."
Qiu Ju looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Why did you kill those Koreans and my people of the Ming Dynasty? Also, how can you be sure that Wu Zhizhou will not immediately chop off your head?"...
After Kamejumaru attacked the camp of the Ouchi family, he marched north from the east coast of Yuzhou Island and attacked a Korean camp. He killed more than fifty Koreans and robbed two ships, including more than twenty
Everyone was killed by him alone.
Seven days later, he set up an ambush on the island and killed Zheng Baihu, the commander of Donghai Zhongsuo, who came to pursue him, as well as more than 40 Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. According to reports from survivors, he alone killed including Zheng Baihu.
There were more than ten officers and soldiers inside the house, which frightened Wu Zhizhou of Haizhou to death.
Just when the governor of Huai'an Prefecture, Chiang Kai-shek and the Dahe Guards were preparing to jointly send troops to suppress the bandits, he went to the Haizhou Prefectural Government Office and voluntarily surrendered. This surprised Wu Zhizhou, who regarded the Haizhou Rebellion as a shocking case and brought it to the capital.
"That group of Koreans came from Jeju Mu. They have a natural harbor in Daejing County," Gueshoumaru said with a smile. "They are not guilty, but they are guilty. I want to kill them, and I have been waiting for more than half a year. Now,
The enemy was destroyed by chance, and he asked the brothers to seize the good harbor for future use."
Qiu Ju also smiled and said: "Before I came here, I heard from the emperor that you are a rare hero, but I didn't think so. Looking at your methods, even if you are not a hero, you are still a tyrant in troubled times."
Kamesumaru quickly knelt down again, kowtowed three times to the north, and then respectfully replied: "Thank you, Holy Emperor, for your compliment."
Qiu Ju smiled and said, "Fortunately you are not a eunuch, otherwise I would have killed you immediately."
Kamesumaru said in fear: "You don't dare to stand side by side with the Admiral in a humble position. In front of the Lord, a humble position is like a firefly facing the bright moon..."
Qiu Ju waved his hand: "Why did you kill my Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers?"
Kamesumaru Nana said: "If I don't kill a hundred households in humble positions, the people who appear in front of the admiral today will be the heads of humble subordinates."
Qiu Ju laughed loudly and said, "I'm afraid you want to kill a commander, a commander or even a commander in chief?"
Kamesumaru showed an embarrassed expression and whispered: "I don't dare to have such thoughts."
Qiu Ju said: "You have seized the opportunity very well. As soon as the emperor opened the sea, you heard the news and acted step by step. You knew how to take advantage of the situation. You are also familiar with the situation of our country. You can be regarded as an outstanding person.
, Okay, if the emperor wants this governor to ask, there is only one question, and that is that the emperor wants you to guess why you were spared your life?"
At this point, he paused, stared at Kamesumaru, and said slowly: "If you answer correctly, you will be the freshly baked Zuoji Cheng from the sixth grade of Honglu Temple; if you answer wrong, there will be someone outside this cell door.
Dozens of athletes in brilliant attire will take your head off as a sacrifice to the dead Ming soldiers."
How will Kamesumaru answer? Eunuch Qiu looked at him with great interest, as if he were looking at a small animal trapped in a trap.
