However, Meichuan Shangyi did not expect that as soon as his motorcade appeared on the streets of the capital, it would be attacked by more people from the Ming Dynasty.
As long as they could get their hands on it, they would all throw it at the car.
Countless holes were smashed into this carriage at once.
By the time the soldiers from the Five Cities Troops and Horses Division patrolling the streets came to reinforce him, he already had several bags on his head.
As a result, Meichuan Shangyi felt extremely depressed.
Touching the few extra bags he had, he couldn't help but think regretfully.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have had to hit his head with money.
When he came to his senses, he decided that no matter what, he would seek justice when he turned around.
The common people of the Ming Dynasty just ran away if they couldn't catch them.
But the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were escorting them definitely couldn't escape.
After finally arriving at Honglu Temple, these Japanese people breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at each other's embarrassed looks, they all had a thought in their hearts: when did the people of the Ming Dynasty become so cruel?
To them, the Ming Dynasty was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Meichuan Shangyi did not clean himself up, and even deliberately made himself more embarrassed in the carriage.
Then he got out of the carriage, snorted at the escorting general, and then handed over his credentials.
He had already thought about it.
When the Minister of Honglu Temple came out later, he must accuse him on the spot.
Unless he saw the escorting soldiers captured with his own eyes, it would be best to execute them in public and beat him to death in front of him.
This feeling of depression in my chest.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he handed over the credentials, he did not see the minister of Honglu Temple coming out to greet him.
Instead, the clerk who went in to report came back and threw the credentials to Meichuan Shangyi with a cold face.
Said: "Your Japanese country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but it has invaded my Ming Dynasty many times.
Is this still a vassal state?"
Upon hearing this, Meichuan Shangyi was startled.
He immediately forgot about the matter he wanted to complain about.
His mind was racing.
While picking up his credentials, he quickly replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we will tell you the most."
It's just etiquette.
If the Chinese nation cares about the Japanese pirate rebellion, it was not the will of our vassal state.
It was the work of a few bandits in our country and we tried our best to prevent them from harassing the Chinese dynasty."
When he said this, he suddenly came back to his senses.
Could it be that because of those things in the past, the Ming Dynasty is now very hostile to the Japanese country?
But even so, it is the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, and has nothing to do with the north.
Why are the people in the north so cruel to people like me?
After hearing this, the clerk sneered and said: "You still dare to argue that you invaded and occupied Korea twice during the Wanli period.
Why do you still make enemies of the heavenly soldiers?
Is it also the work of a few bandits from the Japanese country?"
"" Umegawa Shangyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He immediately came to his senses and quickly replied, "That was the work of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's monkey.
My general just couldn't stand such an act of disobedience to the superior country, so he raised troops to overthrow it."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi that monkey."
When the clerk heard this, he curled up his lips and said with disdain: "You dare to say that you understand etiquette, but if anything comes up, you will ignore it.
If you don't have such a shameless country that doesn't know etiquette, justice and shame, it is worthy of being a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty.
I, Ming Dynasty, don't It’s already good enough to conquer you, get out.”
Go away, that's impossible.

Meichuan Shangyi has a great mission.
If he can't complete the mission, Japan will be in danger.
At this time, he didn't care that the person in front of him was just a small official.
He solemnly presented his credentials and took out another imperial edict: "The Taizu of the Ming Dynasty has a decree.
Our country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and a country without conquests." , this is an ironclad fact, do you want to resist the decree?"
After being hard for a while, he immediately softened and said with a smile again: "Our general knows that he is guilty of all the things he did in the past.
Therefore, this tribute comes with sincerity.
Please pass it on again."
After Emperor Taizu moved out, there was nothing he could do.
The clerk went back in a little depressed to report.
After half the payment, he came out accompanied by a green-robed junior official and ordered them to go in.
Meichuan Shangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him.
He quickly thanked him, and just when he was about to go in, he felt the pain in his head again, so he remembered again that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were escorting him came.
So, he immediately complained to the green-robed official: "My lord, this envoy came to the heaven to pay tribute to the heaven, but he was besieged by unruly people along the way.
These soldiers who were responsible for escorting did not do their best at all.
My lord.
Please look at the bumps on this envoy’s forehead.
These soldiers have been so derelict in their duties, please punish them severely.”
Hearing this, the other Japanese people nodded repeatedly and looked at the Ming soldiers escorting them with hatred, waiting for a good look.
After all, even the envoys had their foreheads covered, and they could be seen at a glance.
The evidence is conclusive.
What they didn't expect was that after hearing this, the green-robed official responded coldly: "You Japanese people are already doing well if you can reach the capital alive.
Now you still want to make things difficult for the people who escort you.
As expected, Those who are arrogant are people who come from an ungrateful country."
When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he was stunned.
This is okay and there is such a saying.
Not only him, but all the Japanese people were dumbfounded.
They never expected that after complaining, they would get such an answer.
The green-robed officer ignored them, and said to the escorting officer with a kind face: "Thank you for your hard work along the way.
Go and complete the formalities and go back."
"Thank you, sir."
The general saluted quickly, "If it weren't for the fact that military orders are so difficult to disobey, I would have beaten these Japanese pirates myself."
After saying that, he led his men to go through the formalities and go back.
Watching them leave, and even saw a few soldiers spitting "Bah", Meichuan Shangyi and others were a little stunned.
At this time, they felt a strong sense of hostility.
I thought they were just some unruly people before, but now it seems that everyone in the Ming Dynasty is hostile to them, including civil and military officials.
The envoys who came to pay tribute in the past were not treated like this.
Meichuan Shangyi thought to himself, and decided to ask clearly no matter what, otherwise, life would be too sad if this continues.
After several setbacks, he finally used fifty taels of silver to smash open an old man who was cleaning the place where he lived.
I saw that this old man was a little evasive.
He took fifty taels of silver and hid in Meichuan Shangyi's room.
Only then did he dare to speak: "If you have any questions, please ask quickly.
If others see me, I will be arrested."
A stab in the spine.”
Meichuan Shangyi was a little puzzled, but he couldn't care less at this time and asked quickly: "I want to understand why we Japanese people are so unpopular in the Celestial Empire, as if everyone is shouting and beating us."

After hearing this, the sweeper replied with a face like this: "Our Ming Dynasty was severely harmed by the Jianbu.
In the past, countless people in Liaodong and Gyeonggi were killed and their families were destroyed.
Everyone remembers it. " Meichuan Shangyi was confused when he heard it.
After thinking about logic for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask: "But Jianlu did evil things, what does it have to do with our Japanese country?"
"Why doesn't it matter?"
the sweeper said with contempt, "it's not a good thing you did."
Meichuan Shangyi continues to be confused "If it weren't for your Japanese invasion of our Korean province, our Ming army wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to support us.
In war, people will die and money will be spent.
Two times before and after, how many people died in our Ming Dynasty, how much money was spent Do you know how much money there is?
Jianlu took advantage of this opportunity to rise up and cause harm to the Ming Dynasty after your Japanese country.
Tell me, do you want to settle a debt?"
It seemed to make sense.
Meichuan Shangyi nodded, suddenly came to his senses, and quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, what I mean is that Jianlu is the rightful owner of this matter.
Daming should go to Jianlu no matter what." prisoner" Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by the sweeper: "Nonsense, so our Majesty went on a personal expedition and directly wiped out the Jianlu.
But you are an accomplice, so we, the people of Ming Dynasty, are not allowed to hate you.
Tell you. , Now that our Ming Dynasty has become stronger, the adults are discussing that we also want justice from your Japanese country."
Hearing this, Meichuan Shangyi became uneasy.
This requires justice, what kind of justice is it?
Anyway, no matter what justice is required, it will have an impact on his mission to the Ming Dynasty.
While he was still thinking about it, the sweeper said again: "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you can't be considered an accomplice."
Upon hearing this, Meichuan Shangyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even showed a rare trace of gratitude on his face.
The entire civil and military dynasties of heaven are probably not as knowledgeable as this sweeper.
Just when he was about to boast, he heard the sweeper continue: "You Japanese are one of the original culprits.
How many people died in your hands in our Ming Dynasty and Korea Province?
Now they are strongly demanding that the court make the decision for them." , I want to take revenge and destroy the Japanese country just like I destroyed Jianlu." "" Meichuan Shangyi was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect such a turn.
The sweeping man felt that he had finished talking.
He touched the money in his arms, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, your Japanese country is also famous for its wolf-heartedness.
It's a shame that our Ming Dynasty Taizu listed you as a country that cannot be conquered."
The result was good.
They invaded North Korea and then wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Don’t deny that we, the Ming Dynasty, are not three-year-olds who can be deceived by you. " It wasn't until the sweeping man left for a long time that Meichuan Shangyi came back to his senses.
In fact, General Tokugawa considered that he would encounter difficulties in coming to Ming for help.
It was for this reason that the tribute was generous.
I also heard that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was young and vigorous, so he specially selected five beauties.
I originally thought that after all this, plus the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty by Jianlu, I believed that the Ming Dynasty would most likely send troops to help.
However, what he never expected was that Ming Dynasty would have such an attitude towards Japan.
This was beyond his expectation.
Meichuan Shangyi was a little confused about what to do next.
Think about it, every sweeper in the Ming Dynasty has this understanding, let alone those scholars, those civil servants and military generals.
Meichuan Shangyi realized that he might not be able to fool him just by using the words he used to reply to the clerk at the door.
But fortunately, Emperor Taizu's words were put there after all, so at least there was room for change.
Alas, there is no other way.
Let’s take one step at a time.
He did not expect that after leaving Honglu Temple, the sweeper went directly to Dongchang to report, handed over all the money he gave, and also reported the conversation process between the two parties.

Not long after, Wang Chengen reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Let this matter ferment for a while.
In a few days, I will hold a court meeting to discuss this matter."
"Your Majesty is wise."
After hearing this, Wang Chengen flattered him.
From beginning to end, people from Dongchang were secretly guiding and participating in this matter.
He understood that the situation was under the control of the emperor.
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then went to chat with Wen Tiren privately in the chat group to explain the matter to him.
He did not intend to personally participate in the court meeting later.
In fact, Wen Tiren had already guessed the emperor's attitude before.
The remarks about the Japanese state began to appear when the emperor was inspecting Yongping Mansion, along with the denunciation of Jianlu, and became more and more intense.
If you say that this has nothing to do with the emperor, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat Wen Tiren to death.
Now after listening to the emperor's explanation, it is indeed the case.
Wen Tiren was not a die-hard, otherwise he would not have been able to become the chief minister and the emperor's confidant.
Therefore, he immediately complied with the instructions and prepared according to the emperor's wishes.
Three days later, a court meeting was held to formally discuss the matter of Japan submitting its credentials and requesting Ming Dynasty to help eliminate Jianlu.
As the envoy, Meichuan Shangyi stood below, obediently waiting for Daming's reply.
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, looked at his ministers and said: "My dear friends, if you have any thoughts on this, please tell me."
At this time, public opinion in the capital and even in the capital was one-sided.
Anyone who was not blind or deaf would know what the imperial court meant.
However, just as Emperor Chongzhen was worried, there are always some die-hards with old-fashioned ideas.
Therefore, after the emperor finished speaking, a minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country came to pay tribute, which means that it still regards our Ming Dynasty as its suzerain country, and built captives to rebel against our Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, I think it is time to send troops "Crunt against it" Hearing this, he coughed, and someone immediately came out to retort: "When we sent troops to attack North Korea and were enemies of our Ming Dynasty soldiers, did we think that our Ming Dynasty was its suzerain country?
Now that we are in trouble, we think of our Ming Dynasty as our suzerain country."
Liao Chen believes that nothing in the world is so cheap, and I, the Ming Dynasty, will never be taken advantage of."
Just as he finished speaking, another person came out of the queue and followed up: "Your Majesty, I second my opinion, how many people from our Ming Dynasty died in the Korean War, and how much money was spent on the national treasury.
The previous accounts have not been settled, and now we have to go Help them, there is no such thing as this in the world."
"Yes, it is also true that the Japanese country harmed our Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese country is a country of repeated villains and cannot be helped."
"I agree, the Japanese country obviously covets our Ming Dynasty.
I suggest that our Ming Dynasty is strong enough now, and Jianlu is there anyway, so we can settle the accounts together, destroy the Japanese country, and benefit the people all over the world." "" Listening to the almost one-sided court discussion, and it seemed that the more the discussion, the more disadvantageous it became to the Japanese country.
Umechuan Shangyi could not stand still, and the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down.
This can't go on like this, this situation must be reversed.
If the Tokugawa shogunate could send him here, of course he had certain abilities.
He understood that the solution now was to grasp one key point and then identify the others, or perhaps there was a way out.
Therefore, he couldn't care less, and immediately took a few steps forward, lay down on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the envoy of a small country has something to say."
Logically speaking, this was against etiquette, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't care and just nodded his head in approval.
"Your Majesty, my country also tried its best to crack down on the Japanese pirates back then.
They harassed the Chinese dynasty, which was not what I wanted.
Their crime does not lie with my country."
As soon as Meichuan Shangyi said this, a censor stood up and shouted: "Shut up, one or two Japanese pirates.
What you say makes sense, but how many Japanese pirates came back then?
This is the result of your efforts to fight against them."
Or is it the result of strong instigation, or the result of incompetence?
Haha, not guilty."

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he quickly wanted to distinguish and explain in detail the situation of the Japanese country at that time.
However, this could not be explained clearly in a few words.
Seeing so many Ming officials and military generals looking at him, and the emperor looking at him, he felt a lot of pressure.
After thinking about it, he avoided the matter and decided to explain what he could clearly explain first: "Your Majesty, back then The invasion of Korea was the work of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
My general just couldn't bear to see him offending the empire, so he raised an army to resist.
The fault lies with Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"He is full of sophistry."
Another civil servant came out to refute, "Isn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi from the Japanese country?
Who is the king of your Japanese country?
Has he come to my Ming Dynasty to apologize afterward?
Is he repentant?
If he invades my Ming Dynasty in the future, can he do whatever he wants?"
Just use one person to take the blame and you can fool me, Da Ming.”
When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he wanted to say that the system of the Japanese country was different from that of the Ming Dynasty.
Their king was just a decoration.
However, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Even if you say this, I guess Mingguo will say why no one from the Tokugawa family came to apologize, the same reason While he was thinking about it, he saw officials from the Ming Dynasty marching out and loudly saying: "Your Majesty, the province of Korea has sent tens of thousands of people's letters, all saying that the Japanese country harmed Korea in the past, just like Jianlu, and begged the court to send troops to make decisions for the Korean people.
Destroy the Jianlu and Japanese countries together
.
" ""
He looked at the eyes above the court that were looking at him.
Almost no of them were sympathetic, and most of them were angry.
Hearing a new round of reports, there are signs of intensification.
Thinking of the anger of the people of the Ming Dynasty that he had felt along the way, and looking in front of him, Meichuan Shangyi knew that he could not go on like this, so he immediately shouted loudly: "The envoy from the small country is here because my king wants to come to the Ming Dynasty to apologize in person.
I want the envoy to understand first how to make amends to calm the anger of the superior country, so that my king can be prepared.
This small country is a country that has been designated by the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty not to be conquered.
My king is willing to be a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty from generation to generation and will never have second thoughts."
Facing the fear of annihilation of the country, Umekawa Shoei knew that it was not impossible for the emperor to come to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty in person, and the shogunate sent a hostage to accompany him.
Such a price has been offered, you Ming must have some face, haven't you been accusing us of not taking action before, this is okay, let's see what else you have to say.
His words were difficult for the civil servants in the palace to accept.
The decision had to be made by the emperor.
Therefore, everyone turned to look at the emperor to listen to his decision.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Meichuan Shangyi and said coldly: "It seems that you also know that you are guilty.
Since you have admitted your guilt, I don't want to say more.
So, the losses caused by your Japanese country to our Ming Dynasty will not be counted.
Japanese pirates invaded the Ming Dynasty The matter in South Korea is over.
The casualties caused by our Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians in North Korea, as well as the large amount of money and food that our Ming Dynasty paid for this, are all caused by your Japanese country.
As long as you can compensate for these, I will not go through it.
After all, how?”
When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he realized that the Ming Emperor had taken a step back and was only paying compensation for the two Korean Wars, which shouldn't be much.
Since it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
Anyway, since there is a lot of money, we can at most increase production.
With this in mind, he knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied: "I am grateful for your majesty's generosity.
The envoy from a small country thinks that this is a reasonable move.
I don't know how much compensation should be paid."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned to look at the Minister of Hubu.
Bi Ziyan immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is troublesome to calculate in detail, so why not compensate me for half of the Ming Dynasty's current annual treasury income?"
When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he immediately thought about it.
It is said that the national treasury income of the Ming Dynasty is more than two million taels.
If it is half, it will be more than one million taels at most.
This price can wipe out the past history. , and by the way, asking Ming Dynasty to send troops to quell the rebellion, it seems to be quite cost-effective.
Thinking of this, he was afraid that these eyeing courtiers would object, so he immediately replied loudly: "Your Majesty, this small country believes that this is a reasonable move and there is no problem":
