Finally, after waiting for five days, Matsuhira Nobuka and his party finally received the summons from the Emperor Daming.

Under the guidance of the official ritual, after entering Nanjing Imperial City, Matsupi Nobuka and others looked at Fengtian Hall towering above the base and couldn't help but say in surprise:

"My God, this palace is really worthy of the Emperor's palace!"

The Fengtian Hall of Nanjing Imperial City was rebuilt in the first year of Gansheng. Its size is much larger than in the past and even surpasses that of the palaces of all dynasties. It is not only because of the large use of cement and stone, but more importantly, there were large trees in the Ming Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, the palaces of all dynasties became smaller and smaller because there were no "big wood". However, the Gansheng Dynasty could transport cypress trees from Taiwan that were thickly held by several people. There were a large number of giant trees in the northeast that could be used to build palaces.

The use of thick wood, combined with cement, stone, and even iron-boned concrete makes the Fengtian Hall in Nanjing far exceed that of the Fengtian Hall in Beijing, and its scale is even less than that of the Hanyuan Hall in the Tang Dynasty.

There is a large square in front of the imposing Fengtian Hall. During the grand ceremony, tens of thousands of people were listed in His Royal Highness Square. It is the palace that best reflects the spirit of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Matsuhira Nobusuo and others who had just arrived in the Ming Dynasty would feel extremely surprised, and in addition to being surprised, they surrendered to the shadow of the giant palace.

After all, in a normal worldview, such a palace is enough to demonstrate the honor of the owner.

Finally, the group was introduced into the main hall, and Zhu Guoqiang, who was in the hall, was sitting on the back of the dragon chaise.

Matsuhei Nobuka and others seemed small like ants. They were already impressed by the giant palace and immediately knelt down and kowtowed:

"My little minister, Matsupita Nobuka, pay homage to the Emperor of the Celestial Empire! Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Flat."

After getting up, Matsuhira Nobutsu was shocked because His Majesty the Emperor stood on the platform, sitting high above, looking up at the Emperor Ming, as if a god was standing in front of him, thinking maybe, this is the emperor's majesty!

In fact, the Japanese are most likely to be impressed by such "height".

To put it bluntly, I am too short, one meter four, one meter five, and one meter five are the norm, and one meter six are rare. Just like Nobuzumatsu, my height is only less than one meter five.

That is why I have a special liking for "height" and have a certain awe of height.

In fact, when designing this palace, Zhu Guoqiang fully learned from the architectural psychology of later generations. The palace abandoned the decoration of the orphans. The simple and straight lines seemed solemn, heavy, and taller and grander, so that anyone seemed extremely small in front of it. In such a huge building, people looked just ants and dust inside.

And this is a manifestation of the supremacy of imperial power.

Standing in the audience, Matsuhira Nobuko said respectfully:

"Now the enemy is in chaos in Japan. Although all parties in Japan have to support it, they have no choice but to deal with it. Although the emperor is the concubine of the emperor, the prince is now fourteen years old. I hope the emperor can be kind and Prince Xu returns to Japan to supervise the emperor..."

"The King of Ying is still young and is not yet sixteen. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he cannot be a vassal. The envoys do not need to mention this matter again!" Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"But Japan is still obedient, and I cannot help but understand it. I decided to send troops to help you fight against the enemy."

"Send troops to help!"

Matsupita Nobuzu quickly knelt down and said:

"I am very grateful to you for your kindness again!"

Send troops to help!

This is much better than sending a prince over!

Okay, Daming’s father is here to save Japan!

In the 14th year of Gansheng, in early February, a fleet of 5,000 soldiers from the "Ming Dynasty Foreign Corps" left Shanghai. Most of the soldiers on the ship spoke fluent Japanese, and they were all mercenaries of the "Sword Drawing Team".

Inside the cabin.

Sakai Tadaki once again asked Matsuhira Nobutsu:

"Your Excellency, it seems that the Ming army sent by the Emperor Ming Dynasty are all Japanese, and it seems to be a "sword drawing team". They were all Lordless ronin in the past!"

Matsuhira Nobutsu smiled:

"The emperor has his own profound meaning."

"It has its own deep meaning?"

Tadaki Sakai asked:

"Can they really defeat the Hulu?"

Matsupita Nobuzu shook his head and said:

"It is not known whether they can defeat the Hulu, but after all, they are troops sent by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. When they arrived in Japan, they were always a shock to the Hulu. With these five thousand sword-drawing teams, Daming is also a deterrent to the outside world, letting them know that the Ming Dynasty still supports the shogunate. With their existence, the shogunate can reintegrate the Ming Dynasty in all parties and fight the Hulu."

"Yaxi, if that happens, the barbarians will definitely be defeated!"

Sakai Tadao nodded and said:

"At that time, I will definitely lead the way and kill the enemy on the front line!"

Matsuhira Nobutsu smiled but said nothing.

In fact, from the beginning, they had agreed to try their best to get the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, such as sending troops. Compared with the "respecting kings and expelling the barbarians", which is like "puffer fish", which seems delicious but is actually poisonous, sending troops to the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to fight the captives!

Just like when Japan invaded North Korea, didn’t the Ming Dynasty send troops into North Korea and defeat Toyotomi Hideyoshi?

The Ming Dynasty sent heavenly soldiers to Japan to fight against the barbarians!

In the shogunate, there is no harm.

Strictly speaking, the mercenaries of the "Sword Drawing Team" are not Daming soldiers, but it doesn't matter.

Most importantly, this means the Ming Dynasty’s recognition of the Tokugawa shogunate!

At that time, the shogunate could make an article on this, and even reversed the black and white to show the whole of Japan that this was the symbol of the Ming Dynasty’s recognition of the shogunate as a Japanese ruler.

Then the shogunate could use this "Celestial Army composed of Japanese" to intimidate all sides and command Daming.

In Matsuhira Nobutsu's opinion, this is simply the most wonderful thing!

In fact, Nobutsu Matsuhira knew that sending a "sword drawing team" to Japan was Zhu Guoqiang's "puff fish". What "helping the Japanese fight against the enemy" was simply nonsense. What role could thousands of "sword drawing teams" play on the battlefield?

Perhaps it can play a certain role, but the officers leading the "Sword Drawing Team" will definitely play their role to the lowest level. Moreover, the role of the "Sword Drawing Team" is not here, but in politics. From the beginning, Zhu Guoqiang made up his mind to let the shogunate, whose prestige was increasingly lacking, use the "Celestial Army" to boost momentum and "establish orthodox."

What orthodox do they create?

It seems to be from the shogunate, but in fact... it is from the Ming Dynasty!

As long as they use the "Celestial Dynasty" to say that the last time "the shogunate was the Japanese king recognized by the Ming Dynasty", the Ming Dynasty's "orthodox" of Japan was confirmed once.

A few years meant that when all the Japanese felt that "orthodox was the Ming Dynasty", that is, when the time was ripe, it was the time for "Ming Dad to save his son in dire straits."

orthodox!

Sometimes, it is a kind of power!

As for the "orthodox" "puffer fish", people who often eat it will only notice its deliciousness and ignore the deadly toxins on it.

The deeper the understanding of orthodoxy among the daimyos is, the more this happens... By the time they realize this power, they will probably be too late to regret it.

"I'm finally going back to Japan."

Staring at the sea, Li Dashan was excited.

Li Dashan, who had become a native of the Ming Dynasty, never thought that he would return to Japan in such an identity.

No, it's back to Japan.

In the Ming Dynasty, the big guys would only call them Japanese in front of the Japanese mission, and in private they would call them Japanese or Japanese.

As a Ming people, of course he had to follow this habit. And when he said this, he had no burden at all. After all, he is a Ming people now!

Just like now he is going to Japan as a soldier of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Well, the sword draw team. Although they are mercenaries, they can be mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, they are also thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Don’t return home without returning in glory, like walking in glory at night.

In the past few years, although I had never thought about returning to that place in Japan, Li Dashan certainly hoped to return to his hometown one day to show off. Let those who were once arrogant see his current status.

But there was no chance in the past, but now the opportunity has come!

This is simply... the Buddha's blessing!
