Chapter 895: The suffering of the Qing Dynasty asks for support)(1/2)
The building is about to come!
April of the fifteenth year of Gansheng is the season when cherry blossoms bloom and spring is blooming in the Japanese archipelago. From south to north, there are bright cherry blossoms everywhere.
Ishimi!
Compared with many places, this place has never been famous for its cherry blossoms. Ishimi is famous for its silver mountain. It can even be said that the silver here is far more famous than Japan.
Ishimi Yin was once a fist product of Japan and was even used as a symbol of Japan. However, since twelve years ago, Ishimi became the "Qing Dynasty" and should be said to be the capital of the "East Qing Dynasty". As for Ishimi Yin, it was also exported by the Dongqing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty in large quantities in exchange for various commodities produced by the Ming Dynasty.
Dongqing.
Back then, he fled to the Kenshu Jurchens of Tsuma Island like a stray dog. After Tsuma recovered, he quickly fought to Japan like a group of evil wolves. However, in just a few years, he gained a foothold in Japan and captured a large area of land.
From then on, the "Qing Kingdom" stood firm in Japan. Like Dorgon who fled to the Western Regions, he was known as the "East and West Qing Dynasty". No one cared about who the Qing Dynasty was orthodox. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty had a "East and East" who had a feud, and they all had to be resolved in the end.
Moreover, it has always been clear to the inside of Dongqing that this day will come sooner or later.
But no one expected that this day would be so early.
"There's no way."
Haoge suddenly sighed.
“What should come will always come.”
After such a long sigh, as the emperor, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
Once upon a time, he thought these problems could be delayed for a few more years, but the current reality told him that everything could no longer be delayed.
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent his son over. What should I do now?"
With a bitter smile, he continued.
"Originally, we thought we would wait for a few more years even if this day came. But who knew that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not willing to wait, alright."
After a long sigh, Haoge's mentality was so painful. Over the years, he has been working hard to manage the Qing Dynasty. But when he came to manage it, he could never escape the shadow from the Ming Dynasty.
Even though he deliberately wanted to avoid all this, all the problems were in the end. Just like now, in the past ten years, he did not even dare to unify Japan.
Fear of arousing the Ming Dynasty's reaction. But the facts at the moment have to remind him. Even if he tried his best to avoid all this, they could not avoid the Ming Dynasty. For the Ming Dynasty, perhaps they would never forget it.
Never forget the Jurchens.
"Your Majesty! Didn't we have any surprises this day long?"
Fan Wencheng said with a wry smile.
"Hold on, it's just that the matter is coming."
He smiled, even though his smile was far-fetched, he continued.
"Since you have arrived, it's time for soldiers to downgrade. Water will flood the soil. That's it."
What else can be done?
It's just a matter of using troops to fight.
"Although I say that, I'm not willing to give up."
Haoge suddenly said with some anger.
"I originally thought that so long has passed, and we have arrived at this place, so they shouldn't be able to kill them all, but look at these Ming Dynasty people. Why can't they forget all this? We have been very good to them in recent years."
forget?
Not everything will be forgotten. At least for the Ming Dynasty, everything they have encountered before is something they will never forget.
At least before these Jurchens disappeared from this world. No one dared to forget, no one dared to forget the blood and tears they put on this country and this nation.
If they even forget these things, then what else will they remember?
"That's why the emperor said we're planning early."
Another time Fan Wencheng mentioned his inner thoughts.
"Why should we fight to the death with them?"
"They don't leave us a way out."
Haug roared suddenly.
"Have we been flirting with the big news over the years?"
"Your Majesty, this is not what the Ming Dynasty cares about."
Fan Wencheng said with a wry smile.
"What he wants is us, what they want is Japan. What he wants is to enfeoff his son here. As for what we want, we are just too close to them."
Fan Wencheng felt so miserable. The Qing Dynasty fled to this place, but it still couldn't make the Ming Dynasty give up. This Ming Dynasty was nothing, so why did it hold grudges like this?
The Ming Dynasty is a dignified heavenly kingdom. Shouldn’t you have some dignity? Shouldn’t you retain the demeanor of the kingdom? Forgot the past?
But the problem is that they don’t want to forget at all. Not only do they don’t want to forget, but they even make up for all the mistakes they have made one by one.
What are the mistakes you have made?
The so-called mistake is to eliminate all hidden dangers in the bud.
The Qing Dynasty was a hidden danger in the past, and as for Japan, it may be a hidden danger in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
If you want to blame, it’s strange. The distance between the two countries is too close.
"If that's the case, how could the Tokugawa family willingly give up their world to the Ming Dynasty?"
Facing the emperor's rhetoric, Fan Wencheng suddenly felt an urge to laugh.
“Do they have a choice?”
No choice!
The Qing Dynasty had no choice, and as for the Tokugawa family, there was no choice either.
In the Edo Castle, where cherry blossoms are planted, the blooming cherry blossoms are particularly beautiful. This is especially true in the Mansion of General Zhengyi.
However, at this moment, in the General's Mansion, there seemed to be few people in the mood to appreciate this spring scenery.
In the spacious room, the shogunate master Tadao Sakai and the general Tokugawa Ietsuru kneeled down to each other.
As the fourth general of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa family, he was only eighteen years old, but Sakai was an old minister who served two generations of generals. The two sat there like this, immersing themselves in a breathtaking depression in the study.
After a long time, Tadao Sakai turned his gaze out the window, and his expression was a little tired. His gaze was on the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard. The pink petals slowly shaking with the wind, and the fragrance was sent into the room with the breeze.
Although the fragrance of flowers always makes people feel refreshed, it cannot dispel the clouds in the old shogunate center.
Tadaoka Sakai sighed lightly, the situation is difficult now.
The Emperor is back!
No, the regent is going to return to Japan!
The batch of arms purchased from the Ming Dynasty might help the shogunate build an elite new army.
However, the news that the Emperor's son returned to Japan was enough to shake the shogunate rule and make the already fragile shogunate rule even more precarious.
This incident stimulated the shogunate a lot and caused an uproar within it. The hardliners advocated their full efforts to prevent the regent from returning to Kyoto, and that the regent prince and local daimyo should not be allowed to unite with each other.
Of course, even the hardliners themselves know very well what consequences this will have, which is to anger the Ming Dynasty!
Angry the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, some people advocate appeasement.
The Appeasement faction thought that the Emperor had the support of the Ming Dynasty. If the regent is forcibly prevented the regent from returning to Japan, it would definitely annoy the Ming Dynasty. If the troops were sent, there would not even be any need to send troops. As long as the sword-drawing team was used, the shogunate would be in trouble.
Tadao Abe suggested that the shogunate should take the initiative to contact the sect, whether it is kneeling down or pretending to return it, so that the sect will be comfortable first.
After the regent leads the army to deal with the Hulu, he will look for opportunities to undermine him in the future.
To put it bluntly, it is to take over the tricks of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Why was Tokugawa Ieyasu able to become the final winner among the Warring States heroes? To put it bluntly, it is just that he would be a grandson, knowing to be patient and keeping a low profile.
That's why he became the final winner.
Since Tokugawa Ieyasu could have won the world with this move, then the great-grandson could naturally draw a gourd according to the gourd.
But the problem is that in this way, no one can predict that the future situation will develop to that point.
Tadao Sakai, the eldest son of the shogunate, was very troubled.
Turning his head, Tadaoka Sakai, he saw Tokugawa's family still kneeling there respectfully, and bowing his head without saying a word.
A few years ago, he could hardly imagine that the high-ranking general of the Shogunate Conquest would be so... quiet.
Quiet!
Rather than being calm, it is more helpless. This is because Tokugawa Izuku's natural body is weak and often lying in bed, which directly caused the autocracy of Sakai Tadaki. Of course, more importantly, he needed Sakai Tadaki's autocracy to maintain the rule of the shogunate, even if this would cause the prestige of the shogunate to plummet.
So most of the time Tokugawa Family Tuan is like a mascot, without any effect.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, Tokugawa's IQ is also very average. Can such a general compete with the prince of the Ming Dynasty?
These are all things Sakai has to consider.
With his eyes taken out of the window, Tadao Sakai asked:
To be continued...
