Chapter 387: Fusang Kingdom
Although the news that the main force of the Khan Party was going to return to the court had not yet been set, the news leaked out early. The spys planted in Mobei noticed signs that the Khan Party was raising a lot of food and clothing.
The news sent back by spies from the Western Expedition was easily inferred once they were confirmed by each other.
Although it is not convenient to tell the people below such a major event, the Jin and Xia Kingdom, who are "friendly" are going to inform them early. After all, the main force of the Khan Court returned to Mobei, and his attention must be concentrated on the south.
At this time, the peace talks in Japan were finally confirmed.
The Kingdom of Japan officially respected Ming Kingdom as the superior country, and the country's name was changed from Japan to Fusang. Originally, according to the meaning of the Kingdom of Diao, it was intended to be directly defined as Japanese, but the Kingdom of Japan did not know that the word Japanese had a contempt, so it insisted on not accepting it.
So after some debate, it was changed to Fusang Country.
In this way, the Emperor naturally could no longer call himself the Emperor, but waited. The current Fusang king is the first Fusang waiter under the Ming Dynasty.
The situation in Japan was finally confirmed based on the Ming Dynasty’s intention.
Kyushu Island was included in the Ming Dynasty's direct territory, but at the official level, it was not a ceased, but Fusang Hou specially dedicated Kyushu Island to the Ming Dynasty to apologize to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Sado Island was a real ceased.
In order to reduce Fusang's defense, the Ming Dynasty could not have more than 5,000 troops stationed on the island. Similarly, the other side of Sado Island cannot be stationed. For this reason, Fusang wanted to rent a piece of land for the Ming Dynasty on the other side of Sado Island.
A new port will be built there, called Niigata. This means surveillance.
Shikoku Island, east of Lake Biwa, and east Fusang, including the Kanto Plain, was included in the territory of the new shogunate headed by Hojo Taishi. West Fusang, west of Lake Biwa, is the territory of Fusanghou.
Since the previous emperor of the Japanese king has always been a puppet of the shogunate, the three emperors who were exiled this time were able to return to Kyoto. They went back to cultivate their own power so that they could truly compete with the shogunate.
The new Fusang Hou was grateful for the kindness of the Shangguo, so he wanted to live in Shangguo for a long time. This was the exchange between the Ming Dynasty and the three emperors, and used Fusang Hou to exchange for the support of the Ming Dynasty for their dominance.
It just so happened that these losers of the political struggle did not like this puppet junior. They were sent to Ming Kingdom to be hostages, which made it easier for them to take over power.
Similarly, Hojo Masako and Hojo Yoshinomiya's shogunate elderly people had no chance to go back. Hojo Taishi's new generation seemed to like these elderly people to come back to compete for power with him. Perhaps they had already enjoyed the wonderful experience brought by unrestrained rights, so these older generations of shogunate people could only retire in the capital.
Among them is the young general of the shogunate. Just like the current Fusanghou, he could only stay in Ming Dynasty and study Shangguo culture.
Under such a feudal ban, the Ming Kingdom obviously had no good intentions. Because there was a mountain block between Higashi Fuso and Shikoku Island, which would undoubtedly affect the shogunate's connection with Shikoku Island.
This can be regarded as a nail that Ming Dynasty deliberately laid between Kyoto and Kamakura, so that they would not work together to deal with Ming Dynasty in the future.

In addition, Fusang State was also fully open to the Ming State in commerce.
When the military is in a weak position, it is even more tough in trade. And Fusang cannot interfere with the movement of the people among the people. This also means that there is no official obstacle to the Ming Dynasty absorbing population from Fusang.
When the matter here came to an end, the Navy officially launched its exploration of the Ryukyu Islands and the Dayuan Island.
This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has reached out to the sea thousands of miles away. Whether it can build a good base will be the key to success or failure.
Although these major events at the national level have no direct interest relations with most ordinary people, there are many indirect ones.
For example, in Gaoling Village, the lower reaches of the Huntong River in Longjiang Province.
This is a large village with nearly 200 households. It was not long established and only a year later. The first ones settled here were the Khitans and Jurchens who had already been in the Chinese, and then some naturalized people who originally lived in the forest moved to the village to settle down. When the battle in Shandong began, another group of Han people were moved in.
Since then, some of the Koreans, Japanese, and Mongolians have moved in.
But overall, the Han people are still the main ones.
However, in terms of regionality, the origins of these Han people are also relatively complex.
Some came from Shandong, some came from Hebei, and some came from Henan, Shanxi and other places. Especially in the refugee wave at the beginning of the year, 36 Han people were assigned to settle in Gaoling Village, which suddenly increased the population of the village by more than 100.
At present, in the village school, nearly a thousand people have sat in the small square used for training. There are men and women, young and old. Adults can still sit in the stools in regular positions, while children are not so regular. After sitting for a while, they can't help but move around. So the adults asked their children to play elsewhere, so as not to delay the village chief's speech on the stage and would be scolded.
Niu Dabao, as the village chief, was very satisfied with the people below. Since he suffered a back injury and could not continue to stay in the army, he had to be forced to retire. Fortunately, the Ming army has always arranged places for retired veterans.
Niu Dabao originally wanted to be a public security army in prefectures and counties. It was a good business to patrol the streets every day, catch thieves, etc., but he fell in love with a Korean woman, and the other party's family was asked to move to a new immigrant village in Longjiang Province, so he followed him.
It was also on the battlefield that the Goryeo woman saved his life, so she felt very grateful for the other party's kindness. At the same time, during the period of care, the other party did have some indescribable content with him. More importantly, the other party was still pregnant.
Although we cannot rely on our relationship to keep the other party in our hometown in Goryeo, we cannot return to the territory of Shandong to settle down. So we simply chose a small-scale village to move over, which is also a new beginning.
I have been in this Gaoling Village for half a year. The previous village chief was a Mongolian. But my fate was not good. Half of my face was torn by a blind bear hunting in the forest. It was completely cold.
In many places in Longjiang Province, it is not uncommon for bears, wolves, tigers and other livestock to hurt people. I heard from the old naturalized people in the village that when Gaoling Village was first established, jackals often came into the village to steal cattle and sheep and hurt people.
Sometimes it is common for children to be eaten, hunters, farmers, and women to be eaten and attacked. It was not until the militia in the county town completely wiped out the surroundings of the village that fewer injuries were gradually reduced.
