After Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming left the palace, Emperor Zhu sat alone in the Qianqing Palace in a daze.
This is a war with a very low chance of winning - no matter how talented and strategic a hero or wise ruler is, he may not be able to perfectly solve the huge capitalist class.
For example, a certain principal.
Many people think that a certain principal is a waste. After all, under the premise of occupying a righteous position and with the help of a stupid thief eagle, a certain principal who likes to expand territory on the map did not survive four years. Then transfer to Ryukyu.
In fact, this principal has been regarded as a ruthless person in all dynasties. No matter what, he can never be worse than the twelfth generation Mingjun of the Qing Dynasty, and he can never be worse than the God of War Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. , it’s even worse to call him an emperor.
As for the evidence... MacArthur, who was clamoring to end the war before Christmas and let the boys go home for Christmas, led seventeen of them but couldn't hold on for four years. How could that principal hold on? It took him four years to transfer, so why not show his ability?
However, even such a principal could not do anything against the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen. Even the then crown prince Jiang Jianfeng personally went to Songjiang Mansion to take charge of the overall situation, but it was of no use. When Kong Lingkan was finally caught, Song Meiling directly called the principal and said, "Your son is going to arrest my nephew." The clever and hairless principal flew directly to Songjiang Mansion, reprimanded the prince Jiang Jianfeng and then let Kong Lingkan go. Prince Songjiang's vigorous anti-corruption campaign also completely failed.
The famous anti-Japanese general Fu Yisheng once said that the reason why this operation failed was because the clever and hairless principal loved beauty but not the country. However, if we really dig into it, the deeper reason is probably because the principal was unable to resist. Capitalist class.
First of all, this clever and hairless principal relied entirely on the capitalist class to make his fortune.
Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others looked at Qi Feng who was talking with bewildered expressions. They couldn't believe that these words came from Qi Feng's mouth.
Mr. Hu's eyes lit up: "The person you are talking about is Zhang Wenhong from the Kinki tribes?"
There is a difference between daimyo and daimyo.
Daimyo originated from the word "name master", which refers to the named field, that is, private land, and daimyo refers to a person who owns a large amount of land.
In the late Heian period, a large amount of state-owned land and manors in Japan were given to nobles such as the Fujiwara clan or occupied by nobles. The original bantian system in Japan also collapsed. The nobles ruled and played in Kyoto, and the land and manors they owned were It was left to the retainers to take care of. Later, these retainers who were proficient in martial arts, riding and shooting gradually evolved into the later warriors.
In the late Heian period, the Japanese Timonese abdicated and implemented court affairs, and recruited samurai to act as minions to fight against the Fujiwara nobles. Unwilling to harm their own interests, the nobles also began to recruit samurai to fight against Tienhuang. The confrontation between Tienhuang and the nobles caused the Taira and Genji clans to The leaders of the samurai group, Taira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoritomo, took the opportunity to establish the Taira regime and the Kamakura shogunate. The land owned by the samurai loyal to them was also legalized, and those samurai became famous owners.
During the Muromachi Shogunate period, the samurai leaders who followed Ashikaga Takauji into the army were named guardians. The samurai who led one or several countries were collectively called guardian daimyo.
After the Onin Rebellion, the trend of subjugation from the lower ranks of Japan prevailed. Most of the guardian daimyo declined, and small lords rose up to become the daimyo of the Warring States Period.
During the Edo period, the shogunate divided the country's daimyo into the gushidai daimyo (the retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu) and the gaijin daimyo (the daimyo who were originally subordinate to Toyotomi Hideyoshi).
Daimyos like Inukai Wenhong who came to power by licking the Tokugawa family's daughters actually have no status in the world, because their own strength is not enough to be included in the genealogical daimyo, and the shogunate does not care about their life or death at all. More
When I was young, I still treated them as playthings,
What's even more terrible is that the Japanese court did not trust these daimyo who relied on the daughters of the Tokugawa family to rise to power. As a result, the status of daimyo such as Inukai Wenhong was in the embarrassing situation of being unloved by their grandmothers and not loved by their uncles.
No one with a bit of backbone would be able to endure this situation, but Inuyang Wenhong could endure it. Not only could he endure it, he even found a way to comfort himself - whenever he felt uncomfortable, Inuyang would
Yang Wenhong will recall how happy he was when he studied in Daming, and then he will comfort himself: It’s not that I, Quan Yang Wenhong, are a waste, but that the entire Japanese nation has no ability to recognize people, and they buried me Quan in vain.
Yang Wenhong’s abilities! If the Ming Dynasty were to rule the Japanese country...
Inukai Wenhong's forced behavior naturally made the shogunate and the Japanese court even more dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied the shogunate and the Japanese court were, and no matter how much they wanted to kill Inukai Wenhong with a knife, they had to pinch their noses in the end.
Bear it down.
Because what Inukai Wenhong said was "if the Ming Dynasty were replaced to rule the Japanese country".
This statement is absolutely correct in the Japanese country. The words against Inukai Wenhong are tantamount to denying the Ming Dynasty and denying the Ming Dynasty... The last ruthless person who dared to point at the Ming Dynasty and curse was called Hamis. Now he has probably finished his enlightenment.
The age when you should go to social studies.
Therefore, Inukai Wenhong became more and more arrogant. In addition to often preaching to the samurai and good people in his territory about the Ming Dynasty, this guy also secretly created a Japanese version of a newspaper, and frequently criticized the Tokugawa family in the newspaper.
Qi and Mitsukate Kijin opened fire, not caring at all about Tokugawa Ieqi's status as the shogun and his cheap father-in-law, let alone Mitsukate Kijin's so-called divinity.
This guy even openly claimed that as the king of the Japanese country, Guangge Jianren not only had no trace of divinity, but also no trace of humanity. What he did failed to bring benefits to the people of the Japanese country, and he failed to live up to the Ming Emperor's treatment of him.
Trust me, if you are a humble person, you should commit hara-kiri.
For being so daring to scold and complain in the hierarchical Japanese country, Inukai Wenhong soon had a large number of followers around him, and most of these people were samurai who were extremely dissatisfied with the Japanese court and shogunate.
Ronin.
Now that Qi Feng proposed using Inu Yang Wenhong to disrupt the Japanese country and make a fortune, Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen and other Ming businessmen present were naturally very excited.
Mr. Hu chuckled, stroking his beard and said: "One person, Wen Hong, can only manage a whole area with chaos. Naturally, the money our brothers can earn is very limited.
In my opinion, we should find ways to bring more people in."
Qi Feng smiled and nodded, and another name came out of his mouth: "How about Nojiri Nishiki?"
Hearing the name Nojiri Nishiki, all the Ming businessmen present laughed strangely again.
Nojiri Nishijin is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
If we simply judge the level based on the status of the world, Nojiri Nishijin is actually far inferior to Inukai Wenhong, because Inukai Wenhong is still a famous name no matter how famous he is, while Nojiri Nishijin is just a country man, and he can only be known as
The self-proclaimed identity of a Lanxue scholar.
The key is that Nojiri Nishijin is not a simple scholar.
Although Nojiri Nishijin didn't dare to criticize the Japanese government and the shogunate like Inukai Wenhong, and even dared to recruit a group of short-sighted people who were dissatisfied with the Japanese country to run a newspaper, Nojiri Nishijin was a risk-taking critic of the Japanese government.
The feudal lords and daimyo from all over the country had a strange attitude toward the Japanese court and shogunate.
In the eyes of the Japanese court and shogunate, Nojiri Nishiki was like a toad. It couldn't bite people, but it could disgust them to death. After all, this guy was covered in the skin of a scholar of orchid science, and he usually followed Ming merchants.
He was relatively close, and the Japanese court and shogunate did not dare to deal with him directly.
Now Qi Feng remembered Nojiri Nishijin.
To put it bluntly, the Japanese country, which has been blown away by countless incurable people in the sky and the earth, is actually similar to the situation in Tianzhu. Tianzhu has castes, and the Japanese country also has classes.
For example, why do those ronin samurai who lost their masters remain ronin instead of finding a job?
This also means that if Tokugawa Jiaqi wants to completely complete the blockade, he must first get rid of those ronin.
Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Tsushima, Hinata and other feudal lords also responded one after another, while the other feudal lords and daimyo couldn't help but frowned.
This difference in geographical location naturally resulted in uneven development among the various vassals. Some vassals were relatively wealthy, while others were poor.
The difference in wealth and poverty will be directly reflected in the number of ronin in each domain.
The poorer the feudal clan is, the more rogues there are.
More importantly, the Satsuma clan, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords actually have a common name: Kyushu clans.
These feudal clans were originally hanging out on Kyushu Island. The Satsuma clan even sent troops to capture Ryukyu, forcing the Ryukyu king to surrender to Japan and pay tribute.
To say that they are willing to do so, they are definitely not willing to give in. Shimazu Hisamitsu, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords have not thought about resisting. At least they must find a good place, right?
Then Shimazu Hisamitsu and the others quickly moved to Ezo, completely giving up Kyushu Island.
What would the shogunate think if they were asked to obey the orders of the feudal lord and ignore the Tokugawa family? They were dragging each other back and fighting to pay off the ronin who had a nest of chickens!
This was even more unacceptable to the feudal lords than directly using money to support Tokugawa Ieki!
When Tokugawa Ieki finished speaking, all the feudal lords present breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
As we all know, apart from being lustful, Tokugawa Ieki's biggest problem was his greed for money. The problem of his sons and daughters' excessive amassing money can be said to be inherited from Tokugawa Ieki.
Shimazu Hisamitsu, who was already as poor as a dog in Ezo, still sent samurai and ashigaru to help the Tokugawa family. Now he was the first to jump out and scold all the feudal lords, all for the sake of the Edo shogunate.
He behaves like a loyal dog who doesn't hesitate to shed the last drop of his blood, but Tokugawa Ieqi seems to be unhappy?
After thinking about it secretly, a bright light suddenly flashed in Matsudaira Nobunobu's head - thinking at the best, Tokugawa Ieki may really want to wipe out those samurai, and the current performance between him and Shimazu Hisamitsu is just...
He is acting in order to lure the feudal lords into taking the bait.
If you think about it in the worst possible way, perhaps the real purpose of the Tokugawa family is not to completely eliminate those ronin, but to come for them, the feudal lords! Once a large number of samurai and ashigaru from the shogunate are allowed to enter the territory of each feudal clan, what will happen later?
It’s hard to say what happened!
Thinking of this, Matsudaira Nobunobu's face couldn't help but become ugly. He glanced at Shimazu Hisamitsu and said loudly: "The Shimazu family leader is right. Now is an important moment for us to work together to overcome the difficulties.
We can no longer look forward and backward at this time!”
As Shimadzu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu expressed their opinions one after another, the other feudal lords suddenly had no way out. Whether they wanted to understand or not, they had to follow Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu to express their opinions.
They will each send samurai and ashigaru to help the shogunate eliminate those ronin.
Tokugawa Jiaqi was filled with secret hatred.
Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others looked at Qi Feng who was talking with bewildered expressions. They couldn't believe that these words came from Qi Feng's mouth.
However, Qi Feng didn't care about other people's eyes at all. Instead, he looked at Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others and said, "How about it? If you are willing to do this with me and Qi, let's do it together. If there is anyone who is not willing to do it, we will do it together."
You can also leave on your own, as long as you don't cause trouble for me and Qi, we will still be good brothers from now on."
Mr. Hu couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother Qi's idea is good, but where can we find a big name who is willing to cooperate with us? According to Brother Qi, first of all, this big name cannot have too much power, and secondly, it cannot be too smart.
Again, you can’t be too stupid, the key is to be able to intimidate those short guys from the Japanese country. It’s not easy to find such a famous name, isn’t it?”
Qi Feng couldn't help but sneer: "Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are not many people with these two legs? To be honest, I have already made a name for myself. This person also studied in Ming Dynasty for a period of time, and he is considered a knowledgeable person.
Some medical skills are enough to fool those short-tempered people."
Mr. Hu's eyes lit up: "The person you are talking about is Zhang Wenhong from the Kinki tribes?"
Just as Matsudaira Nobubu thought, the reason why Tokugawa Ieki proposed that the shogunate send samurai and ashigaru to wipe out those ronin was that on the one hand, he really wanted to wipe out those ronin, so as to avoid any accidents during the subsequent blockade.
.
As for sending ninjas or getting some leprosy patients to cause harm to the territory of Mitsuo and his son, the Tokugawa family really didn't have such an idea for the time being.
It's a pity that Tokugawa Ieqi's originally good plan was ruined by two weaklings, Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu.
All the feudal lords and daimyo present could not help but be a little confused. They didn't know what the weakling Tokugawa Iakichi wanted to say.
