The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 621 Educating the Japanese Kingdom
Wa Country, Daming Port.

This is Daming's closest port to the coast of the Wa country, and it is also one of the largest ports in the entire Wa country so far.

At the beginning, it was established when the Ming army conquered the Wa Kingdom for the first time because of the registration of a large number of troops.

In the past year or so, due to the discovery of the Japanese silver mine, the number of merchants coming and going has become more intensive, and the Ming government also needs to transport a large amount of various mineral deposits.

After rapid economic development, the port has naturally formed a huge scale.

There are not only merchants from Ming Dynasty here, but also merchants from other countries.

Most people are already used to sea ships as tall as towers like the Great Ming Treasure Ship.

But the shock of hundreds of treasure ships sailing from the seaside is a spectacular sight that many people have never seen in their entire lives.

Subsequently, the entire pier was blocked by a large number of Ming troops.

"Who is this? The scene is so big, the entire port has been cleared, and my goods have not yet been shipped. If it takes a long time, it will be a loss."

"Don't say a few words, lest the misfortune come out of your mouth. Haven't you heard that the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty will be sent to Japan soon? Such a big scene must be the grandson of the Ming Dynasty."

Crowds surged at the pier, and the huge ship slowly docked at the port.

Nearly 20 Ming soldiers opened the way and completely blocked all roads. Under such circumstances, ordinary people had no possibility of approaching, and it was impossible to even see what the grandson of the Ming Dynasty looked like.

A large number of cavalry began to inspect the surrounding area. With the artillery now available, according to the travel guard regulations, the surrounding two miles should be checked, and any hidden dangers that threatened the life of the grandson must be completely eliminated.

You must know that even the granular artillery has a range of no more than one mile, and the range of two miles is absolutely safe.

With the suppression of the Ming army, the most magnificent treasure ship in the middle of many treasure ships slowly docked.

The huge staircase was anchored to the side of the treasure ship, and Zhu Ying led Sultana down slowly from it.

There are already twelve horse dragon chariots waiting on the ground.

Beside the dragon chariot, there were four middle-aged men in royal costumes waiting. They were King Qin Zhu Xi, King Jin Zhu Fan, King Yan Zhu Di, and King Qi Zhu Wei.

"Meet His Royal Highness Taisun."

The four bowed and saluted.

There are no uncles and nephews outside, only monarchs and ministers.

"The emperor's uncle is free."

After the process was completed, Zhu Ying followed the four emperor uncles to the palace that had been arranged earlier.

After Zhu Ying's itinerary for his envoy to the country of Wa was confirmed, construction of the palace began immediately along the coast of the country of Wa.

Thousands of craftsmen worked day and night just to build Zhu Ying's resting place.

Naturally, the Xinggong Palace will not be as luxurious as the Jingshi Imperial Palace, but everything that should be there is basically arranged.

When Zhu Ying came over, the banquet had already been prepared.

When they were in the palace, they naturally didn't need to be as polite as outside. In private, Zhu Ying and many uncles were called by their own family members.

After pushing the cup over the cup, after three rounds of wine.

Zhu Xi took the lead to ask: "Nephew, don't blame the second uncle for talking too much. Now we all know the military strength of the Japanese country. There are only 50 soldiers on the left and right. Compared with my Ming Dynasty, it is far away."

"Now in the Kyushu Island of Japan alone, there are hundreds of various mineral deposits including silver mines, and this does not include some that have not been found in the deep mountains and old forests."

"I also went to Shikoku Island. If it wasn't for the imperial father's decree, when you came here, nephew, you might have already become my territory."

"Let me tell you, the eldest nephew brought 20 soldiers here, and we brothers put together, and 20 is not too far away."

"Why don't you take Shikoku Island directly and put more mineral deposits under my Ming Dynasty."

"What do you think, big nephew? As long as you give an order, I will take the sons and daughters to attack the city and seize the land. I promise to take it within ten days and a half months. What are you talking about with the Japanese royal family? I think There's no need to talk about it."

Zhu Xi has been very upset these days.

The Iyo Castles in the four countries have already surrendered, and even Tosa Castle can be taken within two or three days.

As for the Sanuki and Awa Second Castles behind, it is impossible to say that they can stop them.

All the fat in his mouth was spit out, which made Zhu Xi suffocate in his heart.

Now that I see the righteous master, I can't help complaining a few words.

Hearing these words, Zhu Ying put down the wine glass she had originally picked up, and frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhu Ying's appearance, everyone's heart trembled.

As for Zhu Xi himself, he was half sober from the wine.

It seems that the four major vassal kings have enshrined their vassals overseas, and the Wa Kingdom is so far away from Daming, it is no different from the Tu Emperor.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the power of the vassal kings is almost all under the influence of Zhu Ying.

Whether it's economy, military, logistics, or even officials, Ming has direct or indirect power.

Economically, the economy of the Wa Kingdom itself is very weak. It is true that a large amount of mineral deposits are money, but they also need to pay taxes of the Ming Dynasty, and almost all of these transportations rely on the ships of the Ming Dynasty.

With the strength of the Daming Navy today, it can even easily blockade the entire Wa Kingdom.

The same is true in the military.

Although each has a quota of [-] personal soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

But these mid-level officers were also gradually infiltrated by seniors who graduated from the Daming Military Academy.

For the feudal lords, the students who graduated from the Daming Military Academy were really rushing to get them.

These students are not only outstanding in their own abilities, but most importantly they strictly obey orders. Not only can they complete the tasks assigned by the vassal king well, but they can also train recruits by themselves and integrate the discipline of the entire army.

Of course such talents will be looted.

Even Zhu Xi, as long as there are more students, he will feel completely relaxed.

Who doesn't like the army under his command to be a strong army?

For the soldiers stationed in the Wa country, they only need to be stationed for three years before they can apply to return to the Ming Dynasty.

Most of their minds are still in Daming, and it is difficult to change in a short time.

Not to mention the officials, the vast majority of officials who followed the vassal kings to the Wa Kingdom wanted to make good political achievements and display their talents and ambitions here.

As long as the term of office expires, he will definitely find a way to go back to Daming.

Therefore, Zhu Ying's power as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty directly extended to the country of Wa.

When the four vassal kings faced Zhu Ying in Wa Kingdom, it was no different from that in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Zhu Ying is no longer relying on Zhu Yuanzhang to support himself a few years ago. After the military power has gradually been controlled and his reputation has gradually increased, although Zhu Ying is not an emperor himself, he actually already has the power of the emperor.

"Grandfather, calm down. I was drinking and talking nonsense just now, please don't take it to heart." Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhu Xi hurriedly apologized and said with a smile.

He used to be only afraid of his father, but now he has one more person.

Just being silent can make him flustered.

"Second uncle is serious. I was just thinking about how to tell all the uncles." Zhu Ying waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mean to be angry.

After pondering for a while, he said: "What Second Uncle said just now is reasonable and correct."

"Let's close the door today and say a few words about ourselves."

"With the strength of my Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to completely capture the Wa Kingdom. Whether it is the Wa Kingdom or other small countries around it, they are like ants to my Ming Dynasty."

"It's just that the ants themselves have their functions. If they are completely replaced, they will make themselves more troublesome."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying glanced at Zhu Xi and said: "I have also heard of the bold words of the second uncle in the capital. He said that he would take down the entire Shikoku Island and use it as his future vassal land."

Zhu Xi was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly explained: "It's all drunk nonsense. I don't know which little bastards passed it on to me. Grandson, don't trust others."

Zhu Ying didn't care too much about this aspect. If he really wanted to pursue it, it would be a serious crime for Zhu Xi.

Because the territory conquered by overseas vassal kings needs to be canonized by the court, and it is not what they want.

"Whether it's taking Shikoku Island or Wa Country, these are not big things for you uncles."

"In my opinion, fighting is one aspect. If you really want to completely rule the domain, enlightenment is the key."

"Nowadays, although I haven't visited the mines in various parts of Kyushu Island, I can roughly guess one or two. It must be the Japanese people who are working hard."

"It's not good, it's very bad. It's like running out of fish. Once it reaches a breaking point, it will bring more trouble."

"I asked the second uncle to return the Japanese royal family Iyo Castle, just because I didn't want to embarrass the Japanese side too much, so as to cause turmoil in the Japanese country, resulting in too many casualties."

"Speaking of which, if the Japanese royal family is gone, will the people of the Japanese country really obey my order of the Ming Dynasty? Just like in the late Yuan Dynasty, there must be constant uprisings."

"When the hatred is deeply rooted, the price to pay is even more troublesome."

"The dilapidated Wa country is meaningless to me, Da Ming, including all of you uncles. Now there are enough mineral deposits on Kyushu Island for us to mine, and we can't manage any more."

"This time I came to the Wa country to negotiate, because I want to suppress the possibility of the Japanese royal family mobilizing the soldiers of the whole country."

"You know, in today's Wa country, there are more than 20 million people, and the army that I can station all the year round in the Ming Dynasty is only [-] people. This is very similar to the Mongols who lived in the Central Plains back then."

"Uncles, what I want is not to rule the Wa Kingdom for a short time. In this feudal land of the Wa Kingdom, it will also be the family business of many uncles in the future. Who doesn't want the family business to last forever."

In Zhu Ying's heart, especially in this era, population is the most precious wealth.

Few Han people are willing to leave their hometowns to do mine mining. You must know that the probability of a mine collapse is very high, and it is extremely normal for a few people to die.

But these jobs always have to be done by someone, and it is most suitable for Japanese people to do it.

Only a stable Wa country can create more wealth for Daming, and it is not a one-time achievement to thoroughly educate the Wa country, it can only be done through generations like Mu Ying.

Zhu Ying is still young and can carry at least three generations.

After three generations, could this country of Wa not belong to Ming Dynasty?

Some things should not be rushed. If you are too anxious, it will have the opposite effect.

Hearing this, Zhu Xi was also relieved.

No matter what it is, as long as he is allowed to continue as a feudal clan in Wa Kingdom, it doesn't matter anything else.

Since Taisun said not to fight, then it is not to fight.

At this time, Zhu Di, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yu also roughly understood what Zhu Ying meant. These words were part of the reason. In fact, they still wanted to control the battle between several vassal kings within the scope of Kyushu Island.

Today's Ming Dynasty has made great strides, and is almost constantly educating the surrounding small countries, requiring a huge number of talents.

The news of Zhu Ying's arrival in the Wa country naturally spread to the Wa royal family, as well as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, at the fastest speed.

The grandson of the Ming Dynasty came to the Wa Kingdom to negotiate in person, which is considered to be enough.

Afterwards, Emperor Komatsu would come to the Daming Palace in Daming Port in person.

It is true that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the shogun who controls the real power, but the ruler in name is still Emperor Komatsu of the Japanese royal family.

Compared with the Japanese royal family, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was regarded as a powerful general in the eyes of the Ming people, but he was still a little worse than the later Emperor Komatsu.

Before Emperor Komatsu departed, Yoshimitsu Ashikaga prepared a feast for Emperor Komatsu.

"The grandson of the Ming Dynasty said that he wanted to give the high-yielding crop seeds of the Ming Dynasty to our country of Wa. He definitely wanted to take this opportunity to divide the entire Kyushu Island into the territories of the various vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty."

"At present, our country of Wa is unable to compete with Daming. We can only accumulate strength silently and wait for the time to come."

"So when the time comes, please ask His Excellency the Emperor to focus on the overall situation."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knelt on the ground, and respectfully saluted Emperor Komatsu.

How could Emperor Komatsu not understand the meaning of these words.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the cession of the entire Kyushu Island by the Japanese Kingdom has become a fact, and there is no ability to snatch it back at present. It is simply a dream to ask Daming to take the initiative to return it.

Being able to return the Iyo Castle on Shikoku Island is already the biggest concession, and it also sent seeds of high-yield crops.

It's just that the act of ceding the territory must be undertaken by someone.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu naturally didn't want to bear it himself, and wanted to throw the blame on Emperor Komatsu.

Facing the powerful shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Emperor Komatsu had no possibility of refusing at all.

He could only say after drinking a glass of wine, "Please rest assured, General."

Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face.

As long as the Japanese royal family is responsible for this matter, it will not hinder his future real power rule, and he can also take this opportunity to weaken the power of the Japanese royal family.

Three days later, a group of people headed by Emperor Komatsu, the empress of the Japanese royal family, including Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, came to Daming Port on the coast to meet His Royal Highness Daming Taisun.
