Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 735: The Ming army in Sakai Port accumulates food and grass, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa desperately prepares for war

When Zhu Wenfang returned to the mansion, he went to the south gate and east gate of Lingyu Palace to inquire. No princess had gone out today. There was no way, Zhu Wenfang couldn't get in, so he had to wait in Feng Pavilion while handling government affairs.

However, it is said that Zhu Qiyu slept until he woke up naturally. He usually did not open his eyes when he first woke up, but first experienced it carefully. He held a smooth beauty in his arms, and a fragrant and soft beauty clung to his back.

"Women, you have to savor it carefully."

Zhu Qiyu sighed before slowly opening his eyes.

Seeing that the beauty in his arms had already woken up, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "What time is it now? Why didn't you call me earlier, Xue'er?"

Hearing this, the beauty in his arms pinched Zhu Qiyu's arm hard: "Daddy has been talking nonsense since he woke up early in the morning. Who is Xue'er? Why are you shouting and yelling?"

Zhu Qiyu turned around and looked at the little beauty behind him: "I admitted my mistake. Are you Xue'er?"

The little beauty also squeezed Zhu Qiyu's waist hard: "Daddy has been talking nonsense since he woke up in the morning. Who is Xue'er? Why are you shouting and yelling?"

Zhu Qiyu became energetic instantly and sat up suddenly. He first pulled the two women's wrists to his eyes and took a look. However, both bad women took off their jade bracelets.

Without the red and green jade bracelets to distinguish them, Zhu Qiyu was completely confused. Looking left and right, the two little women still looked exactly the same, and their movements and expressions were exactly the same.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu was defeated and sighed helplessly: "Hey, it's over. My wife in the palace is having her menstrual period and went to sleep in Hehuan Hall. She left for one night, and I can't cure you two tricky and weird people. Twin sisters flowered.

The emperor acted like this and let the two little girls play around.

It's really heartless. I worked hard four times last night, and this is how you repay me. "

Qianxue smiled and said, "Did your husband's wife teach you that women should not be overfed?"

"No, but it's not too late for me to know now. You two will stay alone in the empty room tonight. After two meals, you will be honest."

When the two heard this, they quickly begged for mercy and finally managed to coax their husbands into peace.

The three of them struggled for more than an hour before Zhu Qiyu dressed up and came to Fengge to manage the affairs.

As soon as he entered Feng Pavilion, he saw Zhu Wenfang sitting there leisurely.

Zhu Qiyu weighed it carefully, and he seemed to be able to offend Zhu Wenfang, so he immediately showed off his power: "You rebellious son, don't you want to play at home?

If I had told you that you would come to Fengge today to manage politics, I wouldn't have to come out. Isn't this just tossing me back and forth? "

Zhu Wenfang snorted coldly in her heart: You lazy father who bullies the weak and fears the strong, you can't afford to offend any mother, so you just know how to make a fuss in front of me.

But Zhu Wenfang considered that she was quite timid in front of the Crown Princess, so she forced herself to skip the process of father and son exposing each other's shortcomings, and handed over the paper:

"Father, let's see. People from Jiangxi traveled thousands of miles to the capital to complain. Master Zhang Yuanji set up a private prison and killed civilians indiscriminately. The people can no longer survive."

Zhu Qiyu frowned when he heard this. In terms of being keen on the political situation, I am much better than Zhu Wenfang now.

In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people could not afford to travel thousands of miles from Jiangxi to the capital to complain to the emperor.

But there is indeed a precedent for this.

It also happened in Jiangxi. Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji was killed in his hometown, but he was sued by the people and brought to the capital.

So Yang Shiqi was controlled by Zhu Qizhen from then on, and he remained honest until his death. As soon as Yang Shiqi died, Zhu Qizhen sent Yang Ji on his way.

Therefore, it is possible for people to go from Jiangxi to the capital to file a petition, but it only requires some kind of support behind them.

This time the people sued Zhang Yuanji and Zhang Dazhen, naturally it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Zhu Wenfang asked: "Dad, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "The next edict orders Ruan Xi, Gao Ping, and Zhao Xuan to work with Jiangxi officials to conduct an investigation first and give a preliminary conclusion. Then we will discuss how to deal with it in the future."

Ruan Xi, Gao Ping, and Zhao Xuan happened to be mining in Dexing, which was only two hundred miles away from Tianshi Mansion.

This kind of thing is either an internal fight within the Tianshi Mansion, or other forces are working behind the scenes to allow the Tianshi Mansion to take the lead. Suppression of Buddhism and Taoism will inevitably lead to backlash.

In the following January, all matters were moved forward in full swing.

On July [-], the special envoy of the Muromachi shogunate returned to Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was full of expectations, but he received bad news from Arima Mochie.

It was clearly the line of Southern emperors behind the Kamakura shogunate who had killed Ming envoys, but in the end it was the Kamakura shogunate that succeeded in the peace talks.

He, the hero who kidnapped the deposed emperor and eliminated the great troubles for the current emperor, was forced to a dead end.

Where is this going?

Ashikaga Yoshimasa asked: "Is it necessary to fight and there is no more room for it?"

Arima Chika shook his head: "You can return to the palace and surrender directly, but the interests of the emperor and the shogunate cannot be preserved. The emperor can be granted the title of prince, the general can be granted the title of county king, and they can go to Qiongzhou in the Ming Dynasty to become a vassal.

The wealth in hand cannot be preserved. After the emperor of tomorrow conquers Japan, he will implement the national policy of destroying Buddhism.

Monks can meditate in the temple, but all their wealth needs to be handed over. "

Ashikaga Yoshimasa understood and surrendered directly. His life could be saved, but his family property would be completely lost. So he asked again: "What conditions did the Emperor of Heaven offer to the Kamakura Shogunate?"

Arima Mochie replied: "The Emperor of Heaven recognizes that the Kamakura shogunate is the only legitimate shogunate in Japan. They can hand over most of their land and stay in Kanto to live peacefully.

Only the descendants of Emperor Go-Daigo must be exterminated because they have killed Mingshi. "

"The Kamakura shogunate agreed?"

Arima Chika nodded affirmatively. This is easy to understand. The relationship between the Kamakura shogunate and the Southern Emperor was based on mutual use, and there was not much emotion involved.

When a disaster approaches, it is natural that fellow Taoists will die rather than poor Taoists.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was so angry that he slapped the table hard. This was not surrender, nor was it a decisive battle, nor was it defense. There was no way for people to survive.

In the Chinese army camp in Sakai Port, the generals of the Ming army gathered together. After two months of mobilizing troops and generals, Jiang Yuan, Yue Zheng, Zhang Ning, Wuzhong, Zhang Ying, Huang Qi, Liu Hong, Liu Gong and others also arrived at Sakai Port.

The decisive battle is about to begin. Except for those who have other tasks that cannot be avoided, everyone who can come is here.

This opportunity to make meritorious deeds comes equally.

As a special envoy, Wang Chun conveyed the emperor's will to everyone and explained the situation in the capital in detail.

After everyone listened, Jiang Yuan was the first to laugh and said: "This is very good. After receiving the heads of the Southern Emperor's lineage, we will send troops to take over Kamakura, transport [-] shi of grain there, and sell it to the emperor at the price of three liang and one shi." them."

Three liang and one stone, everyone was stunned when they heard the price.

This is a lack of knowledge. If everyone has Zhu Qiyu's knowledge, they will know that the price of food in Liaodong can reach one stone and eight taels, or even twelve taels.

The most extreme food price in Liaodong is eight taels per dou.

Nowadays, three liang and one stone are actually a reasonable price. After all, Japan at this time was really not short of gold, silver, and copper.

If you want to survive, just trade gold, silver, and copper.

Xu Heng also nodded in agreement: "Annan has transported [-] million shi of grain, and we will sell it first. When the tax grain from Nanzhili arrives, we will continue to sell it."

After everyone heard this, they admired the emperor even more. Suzhou's annual tax revenue is more than [-] dan, and Annan shipped the equivalent of two years of Suzhou's tax revenue in one go. Moreover, a large amount of grain will be shipped from Annan in the second half of the year. This large granary is really useful.
