The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

"Greetings, my lord father."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saluted respectfully, but the leader Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't mean to let him get up at all.

"I heard that you went to see His Royal Highness Daming Taisun on purpose just now?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised the wine glass, took a sip and asked after a shallow sip. The intention in it was very obvious, that is to make Ashikaga Yoshizumi unable to come to the stage.

Those here are the mainstay of the shogunate. If Ashikaga Yoshichi wants to truly become the shogun, the support of the various patriarchs sitting here is indispensable.

And losing the face of Ashikaga Yoshimoji can naturally reduce his threat to his youngest son even more.

Ashikaga Yoshichi took in all the mocking gazes of everyone around him, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Father, it's not that I'm going to see Grandson Daming, but Grandson Daming sent a message for me to visit him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

You really think of yourself as a shogun, why should the grandson of the Ming Dynasty come to summon you.

Except for Lord Ashikaga, it can be seen that the grandson of the Ming Dynasty has summoned anyone, not even the emperor, so it depends on you?

These thoughts echoed in everyone's minds. No one thought that the grandson of Ming Dynasty would be so bored as to summon a ten-year-old shogun. Who didn't know that Ashikaga Yoshichi was just a puppet on the bright side.

Under such ridicule, Ashikaga Yoshichi showed obvious anger on his face, but he could only suppress himself no matter what.

If it left a bad impression on many Patriarchs at this time, then it would be foolish to rely on it to seize the power of the shogunate in the future.

The military branch of the Wa Kingdom is similar to the enfeoffment of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty, and each patriarch has his own place.

Even Ashikaga Yoshimitsu needs the support of many patriarchs to have real power.

Naturally, Ashikaga Yoshichi couldn't fight against these masters present.

"Since you said that the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty was summoned, then tell me what it is."

This question was not asked by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but by Hino Ziyasu, the patriarch of the Hino family.

A look of gratitude flashed in Ashikaga Yoshichi's eyes, and then he said along with the words: "His Royal Highness Daming Taisun is very concerned about the friendship between the two countries, especially in terms of military peace."

"The grandson of the Ming Dynasty called me over this time, mainly for the future development of the two countries."

Speaking of this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu turned his gaze to his father Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, bowed his head slightly and said respectfully; "Da Ming Dasun invited Father to meet tomorrow, and said that he could give me a certain number of places to study at the Daming Military Academy. "

As soon as these words came out, the Patriarchs who were laughing at Ashikaga Yoshichi stopped immediately.

Even the drink that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had brought to his mouth stopped.

"What are you talking about, the grandson of Daming is willing to let us study at the Daming Military Academy?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked in disbelief.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself had never really fought against the Ming army, but just judging from the Ming army's discipline, combat methods, and the defeat of the guarding daimyo on the Wa country, the military training of the Ming army is definitely far superior to that of the Wa country.

And to study military affairs directly, such a gift was not available even in the heyday of Tang Dynasty.

But now the grandson of the Ming Dynasty said that people from the Wa country can learn?
"Returning to my father, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty means that the Japanese teenagers aged between ten and 16 will go there, and they will set up special recruiting classes at the Daming Military Academy for training." Ashikaga Yoshichi added.

Among them, the age range is added deliberately.

In fact, Zhu Ying certainly didn't say anything about the age limit, it was added by Ashikaga Yoshimoji himself, in order to win over people's hearts better.

If he is too old, it will be difficult for him to recruit.

Hearing this affirmative answer, the small calculations in the hearts of the various Patriarchs began to fight.

Going to Daming Jingshi Military Academy, no matter how much you can learn, will be of great help to your status.

In fact, as far as the Ming Dynasty ruled the Wa Kingdom, most of the patriarchs did not hate it as much as imagined, because they themselves were also the upper class, and they also exploited and oppressed the lower class.

It's just that because of morality and mutual restraint, it's not as ruthless as the Daming vassal king.

The contradictions between nobles and social classes within Wa were equally sharp.

In the turbulent years, more and more low-level warriors wanted to break the barriers of class and become nobles. Even the masters felt very worried about some of their own management.

Especially the battles between the concubine and the concubine became more and more frequent.

If he could send his son-in-law to Daming for further studies, then, among other things, the inheritance would be stabilized.

The patriarchs also thought that their sons could manage the family more effectively.

The pressure came to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu frowned slightly, and he, who was familiar with political wisdom, immediately understood that this was not a good thing for him.

Because his son was only barely two years old, of course it was impossible to send him to Daming Military Academy.

Then the only one who can go is Ashikaga Yoshichi.

This is tantamount to giving Ashikaga Yoshichi a chance.

But looking around at the patriarchs who were staring at him closely, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knew that it was impossible to reject the grandson of Daming.

If they refuse forcibly, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and opposition from a large number of patriarchs, and they even want to send their sons to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After Ashikaga Yoshichi received his father's order to let him back down, a slight smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He has been watching his father's expression, and seeing his pursed lips, he immediately understands that his father already knows the deep meaning of this.

But so what if he knew it, could he still go against the order of the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the ideas of many patriarchs.

Moreover, these patriarchs' sons and daughters went to Daming with him, the shogun, and this friendship in the future will definitely receive strong support.

The meeting ended in a hurry, and Ashikaga Yoshichi did not let go of his brows. He did not expect Ashikaga Yoshichi to really get the support of the grandson of Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, the Patriarch of the Hino family wants to come to see him."

Not long after returning to the house, a servant came to report immediately.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu pondered for a while and said, "Tell him I'm tired, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do."

When the servant took the order and was about to leave, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stopped him again and said, "Tell Patriarch Hino, I will definitely not lose his share, and we will talk about the specifics after I meet the grandson of Ming Dynasty tomorrow." .”

"Also, if other Patriarchs come to see me, you can say the same thing."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't expect these patriarchs to be so anxious, but the theory hasn't been settled yet, so he came to ask for a place in private in advance.

The Daming Military Academy is simply a holy place in the hearts of the Japanese nobles.

As early as when the Dibao was circulated, I was already very envious. Now that I have the opportunity to learn, of course I must vigorously fight for it.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also knew that the ones who could come to him tonight were people he couldn't refuse.

The next day.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu requested to meet the grandson of Ming Dynasty through the invitation card early.

It was only at noon that I got a reply of permission.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't know if this was a beating by the grandson of Ming Dynasty.

"The ministers of the small country pay their respects to His Royal Highness, the grandson of the Shang Kingdom."

"Come on, excuse me, your son told you what happened yesterday, yesterday I had a whim, so I wanted to ask your son to come over and ask, to see if Your Excellency Ashikaga is interested in this."

Zhu Ying's tone was somewhat lazy.

After all, he didn't come to Wa country by himself. There is also Sultana who is very clingy now.

Especially after showing off her prowess at the hunting ground yesterday, Sultana seemed to be even clingier.

It was even crazier last night.

This caused me to wake up a little late this morning.

"Thank you for the gift from His Royal Highness, I would like to know how many places are available to study at Daming Military Academy."

"After getting the news last night, people knocked on the door of Chen's room in the middle of the night, just to be able to go to Daming to study."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said respectfully, feeling very aggrieved at the same time.

Because in a sense, Daming is already drying up the internal affairs of the Wa country, especially those noble descendants who have gone to Daming at that time, and will definitely be greatly influenced by Daming in the future.

And he suspects that his son Ashikaga Yoshichi must have any interest in exchange for the great grandson of Ming Dynasty.

This has already affected the interior of the Wa country, but it is helpless.

"The quota will be 50 people. I want Daming and Wa to have more friendly exchanges. Going to the military academy is just the beginning, and there will be more joints in the future."

Of course Zhu Ying would say nice words, but he couldn't tell Ashikaga Yoshimitsu that his idea was temporary.

And they have already figured out how to influence the next generation of the great nobles of the Wa Kingdom.

Even Zhu Ying has a preliminary idea in mind about the candidates to teach the heirs of the Japanese nobles.

Those disciples who followed him in the Western Regions at the beginning can be regarded as really useful now.

If he could assimilate the noble heirs of the Wa Kingdom, it would be easier for Daming to control the entire Wa Kingdom.

If you want to truly annex the Wa Kingdom, simply conquering it will definitely not work. The main thing is that it is similar to Annan's side. First of all, it is cultural coverage.

Including Han immigrants and Japanese immigrants.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Grandson."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also felt very helpless. In fact, he thought that the number of people could be less.

Fifty people, basically covering all the patriarchs he followed, the key is that these teams are likely to be controlled by Ashikaga Yoshichi in the future, which is a very troublesome problem.

After Zhu Ying stayed in Japan for almost seven days, she was ready to return to Daming.

The main reason is that the current Wa country is really not attractive to Zhu Ying, and it is far inferior to the prosperous capital.

Especially the so-called city is much worse than the small county towns of Daming.

A population of more than 400 million may seem like a lot, but in fact it can be regarded as a vast land and sparsely populated.

Moreover, the current Wa country is not as fun as the later generations, there are barren lands everywhere, and those things that are famous in the later generations are all gone now, so let’s think that I didn’t go to the Wa country in the previous life, and now I can think about it.

Sultana also had a pregnancy reaction in the past two days, and after being diagnosed by the accompanying imperial physician, she was also confirmed to be pregnant.

Sultana hasn't been canonized yet, so naturally she has to go back to Daming to be canonized first.

Then I have to send a message to the Angkor Dynasty in the Nanyang region. After all, their daughter will stay in Daming directly in the future. Sultana is not sent by the Angkor Dynasty, so I must explain the situation to her.

While being sent off by the nobles of the Japanese country, Zhu Ying once again set foot on the treasure ship and left.

The eyes of many Japanese nobles were full of longing, and they also wanted to take a trip on this treasure ship as tall as a city tower.

This time Zhu Ying came to Japan for negotiations. Although the itinerary was only less than half a month, it had a huge impact on the whole country of Japan.

The first is the momentum.

The appearance of hundreds of treasure ships is enough to deter the nobles of the Japanese country.

If you want to resist Da Ming, you must first think about whether you can resist Da Ming's army.

The sea area has been dominated by Ming Dynasty for at least a hundred years. With such a huge ocean fleet, what country can resist it.

The Japanese pirates are now in the territory of the Japanese country, and it can be said that they have completely disappeared.

The Japanese pirates themselves are the private soldiers of most of the nobles of the Japanese country, seeking the original interests of the family, and now it is estimated that this piece can only be broken.

And this time Zhu Ying came to the Wa Kingdom, not only at the noble level, but also had a great influence on the people of the Wa Kingdom.

The key point lies in high-yielding crops.

Even if it is to explain clearly that this is just a favor, it is the people of the Wa country who get real benefits.

Plant high-yielding crops one day earlier, and the people of the Wa Kingdom will be able to eat their fill one day earlier.

This difference is enough to save most of the people of the Japanese country.

There are not a few people who are starved to death right now.

"Your Highness, I heard that you promised to let the sons of the Japanese nobles go to Daming Military Academy to study, so why can't you let the sons of nobles from other countries also go there to study?"

"If Daming Military Academy is willing to open to the outside world, the descendants of nobles from many countries will definitely want to come here very urgently."

On the boat back, Sultana, who had never been seasick before, was probably feeling a little uncomfortable because of her pregnancy.

Zhu Ying has nothing else to do, and usually stays by her side.

During the chat, Sultana asked curiously.

Zhu Ying smiled: "You want many people from the Angkor Dynasty to come over, don't worry, regarding the recruitment of noble heirs from other countries, after I go back, people will publish it in the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper, and it will be published every year. Recruiting foreign students as son-in-law

Sultana said with bright eyes: "Is it only recruiting men? Can't we recruit some women?"

"It doesn't have to be to study military affairs, but you can also study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"I think there will be many princesses from many countries willing to come to Daming to study."

Zhu Ying was immediately reminded.

He was still thinking about how to develop Nanyang before, this is really a good way.

It's just that the military aspect is indeed too limited, and it can be developed to a greater extent, attracting people from all over the world to come to Daming to study.

The collision of various ideas is to make the Renaissance happen in Daming.
