"We have to keep in touch with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and we don't have to be in the same situation, after all, we are all saints and disciples, and we have the friendship of colleagues and classmates, and there is no need to break with each other, only in this way can we know about the affairs of the court through them, and know ourselves and the other side in a hundred battles!
In addition, if there is a real change in the future, the inside and the outside can also be combined, so it is better for the princes to try to contact some ministers who still have friendships in the DPRK and China like Hong. ”At this time, Hong Chengchou was telling Ding Qirui and other reactionary gentry the reasons why he wrote letters to Yuan Keli and other ministers of the DPRK and China.Ding Qirui and other reactionary gentry felt justified after hearing this, so they also decided to follow suit.After Yang Sichang was arrested, the entire reactionary gentry clique fell into a leaderless state, and for a while they did not know how to confront the imperial court.Fortunately, at this time, Hong Chengchou, who was vacillating, suddenly took the initiative to stand up and became the backbone of these reactionary gentry, just like in history, after he was captured by the Manchus, he first wanted to seek death, and as soon as Huang Taiji died, he suddenly did his best for the Manchus in the Shunzhi Dynasty.Hong Chengchou's mind is elusive and thorough for ordinary people.Now, he took the lead in writing letters to Yuan Keli, and at the same time decided to go to Edo to meet Tokugawa Hidetada.Because Hong Chengchou knew that if he wanted to save himself and change his current situation, he could only let his entire reactionary gentry group continue to grow bigger and stronger, and be recruited by the imperial court in the future, or establish a country on his own, without worrying about being exterminated by the emperor's army.Hong Chengchou naturally knew that the former was the most likely.Therefore, the current Hong Chengchou actually wants to be recruited in his heart, such as Song Jiang in "Water Margin".Tokugawa Hidetada, on the other hand, met with Hong Chengchou and other reactionary gentry.Although in the previous negotiations with the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Hidetada compromised and signed an unequal treaty, but he still had dissatisfaction in his heart.After all, the current Tokugawa shogunate had seriously declined in the prestige of the daimyo because of the bullying of the Ming Kingdom.In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, he met with Hong Chengchou and other reactionary gentry.In addition, Tokugawa Hidetada also hoped to find out through Hong Chengchou and other reactionary gentry what these opponents of the Ming Emperor were saying about their Emperor Majesty.Tokugawa Hidetada now has a strong desire to know more about Daming because of a series of incidents."
Do you know, although Da Ming seems invincible, in fact, his internal turmoil is turbulent, and it can even be said that the country will die one day!""
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has implemented a brutal rule in the country, and for the opponents, he has always directly raided his family and exterminated the clan, therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who hate him, and now his invasion of your country is just to divert the attention of the people in his country, in order to cover up the fact that his empire has long been weakened!"
Hong Chengchou fooled Tokugawa Hidetada like this at this time.Tokugawa Hidetada was particularly excited when he heard this, and he now liked to hear bad news about the Ming Empire.And Hong Chengchou also happened to grasp his psychology and began to fabricate information about how Emperor Zhu Youxiao made the Ming Dynasty miserable and the people were miserable.After hearing this, Tokugawa Hidetada nodded: "Then please ask Mr. for advice, when will the Ming court collapse and when will it be completely weakened?"
”Tokugawa Hidetada now especially hoped that there would be internal turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, and then he would take the opportunity to attack the Ming court in the event of a crisis within the Ming Dynasty, recover Nagasaki Island, and stop trade."
One year at the latest, three years at the shortest, the Ming Dynasty will fall apart due to the expedition everywhere!
Such as the disaster of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, you must also know about the fall of the Sui Dynasty in China. ”Hong Chengchou said.Tokugawa Hidetada nodded, and said: "But the Ming ship is strong and strong, and the strength is not trivial, presumably even if it declines, it will not collapse suddenly, even if I have the heart to watch, I am only afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to be ashamed." ”"Definitely!
Since ancient times, anyone who can enter my China will be the lord of China, regardless of Yidi!
The saint said the same!
As long as you are willing, we and other people of insight in Middle-earth will respond positively!
You must also know that the weakness of Gou Jian was especially worse than that of your country, and the strength of Wu was far greater than that of today's Ming Dynasty, but it was only three years before Wu was replaced by Yue!
It can be seen that what is happening in this world is unpredictable, and no one knows what the outcome will be until the end. ”"Although there is no Zhang Liang's strategy and Xiao He's ability in the lower ranks, they are all willing to help your country enter my China and be my lord of China!
Therefore, this time we specially present 300 Western firearms, 50 cannons, and 100 craftsmen, all of whom are skilled craftsmen among our domestic slaves, some of whom make pipes, some of whom make gunpowder, some of whom can build large ships, and 100,000 catties of iron, which were taken by Yang Gong from the hands of officials and merchants of the Ming Kingdom on that day. ”As he spoke, Hong Chengchou bowed to Tokugawa Hidetada, knowing that he had to take advantage of the unwillingness of Tokugawa Hidetada, these people, to arouse their ambitions, in order to attract the attention of the imperial court, so that he, the reactionary gentry, could have the opportunity to accumulate strength overseas and wait for opportunities.There is no shortage of gold and silver in Japan, and a large amount of silver and gold flows out every year, but the shortage of iron is serious, and there is a shortage of skilled craftsmen.During the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, the Japanese invaded a large number of porcelain craftsmen from Korea after the destruction of Korea and returned to China, making the porcelain industry of the Japanese country very developed and able to compete with China.Now Hong Chengchou has dedicated the iron-making craftsmen and shipbuilders of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the craftsmen who made gunpowder, as well as iron materials to Tokugawa Hidetada, which will undoubtedly make the rapid progress of the iron smelting, shipbuilding, gunpowder and other industries of the Wa Kingdom, and naturally it is also in the heart of Tokugawa Hidetada.Tokugawa Hidetada was greatly satisfied with this, and decided to bestow Hong Chengchou and other Edo beautiful house Mihime, and appointed Hong Chengchou as the old middle school of Edo Castle Honmaru, and began to have ambitions for the Ming Dynasty.As a result, the reactionary gentry such as Hong Chengchou stayed in Edo Castle for the time being, instead of wandering around and secretly recruiting ronins in Edo Castle.…… At this time, the Ming Dynasty had also sent officials to the Ming Dynasty.Chen Xinjia was appointed as the chief envoy of foreign affairs to the Japanese and came to Edo together with Liang Heng, a member of the Jinyi Guard, who was considered to be the deputy envoy.Tokugawa Hidetada has now served Hong Chengchou as a guest of honor, and he obeyed Hong Chengchou's words, and for Chen Xinjia and other Ming court officials to come to the court, he also listened to Hong Chengchou's advice, and decided to let his son Tokugawa Iemitsu learn to practice lying on the back and taste courage, and took the initiative to go to the wharf outside Edo Castle to greet Chen Xinjia and other Ming court officials.Chen Xinjia, the official who was killed by Chongzhen in the last years of Chongzhen because of peace discussions with Jiannu, did not expect that he would one day come to the Wa State to reside.But Chen Xinjia is not an incompetent person, he can be regarded as a cadre who can be a secretary of the military department and leave his name in history.Before coming to the Japanese this time, he had already made a lot of preparations, and after being personally summoned by Zhu Youxiao, he knew the basic role of his coming to the Japanese.Therefore, when Chen Xinjia saw Tokugawa Iemitsu, he was still very polite on the surface, and said with a smile: "Why should the shogun be so polite, Chen will be here to strength, and there will be a chance to meet in the future." ”Tokugawa Iemitsu replied: "This shogun is here in the name of his father, and my father said that he is the envoy of the kingdom, and he must not be lazy. ”"Ling Zun's attitude has really changed dramatically now, and he is really more and more respectful to my Ming people, and even my Ming Qin is a rebel against the party as a guest!
Now the same is true for this official!
”But in fact, Chen Xinjia is very good at hiding needles.Tokugawa Iemitsu quickly lost his smile on his face.Next, Chen Xinjia continued: "Please also ask the general to tell Ling Zun that your country should detain the Qin offenders in his mansion as soon as possible, and hand them over to our country for disposal, and return the iron materials belonging to our country.Otherwise, it should be regarded as illegal immigration!
Now that the official is here, the first thing he has to do is this!
”......
"Is that really what he said?"
”Tokugawa Hidetada asked.Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded: "Yes!
”After hearing this, Tokugawa Hidetada directly threw the ceramic doll in his hand to the ground and shouted, "Who leaked the secret!"
How did the Akito know these things!
”
