If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 285 Japanese women fighting among themselves
Under Zhang Changshi's explanation, Zhang finally understood the completely different customs and habits between the Japanese and the Ming people.

Commit seppuku as soon as they disagree with each other, and regard it as an honor; dedicating one's own women to the servants and servants of the master's family, not only does it not feel shameful, but it is considered a kind of honor and preferential treatment?

Even his son and heir were willing to serve as servants to the master's family, and regarded it as a sign of the master's trust. This really shocked Mrs. Zhang.

But after all, she was the Crown Princess of the Ming Dynasty, and she had seen it before. After understanding the behavioral logic of these Japanese people, Zhang also had an idea in her mind about how to deal with these female relatives who were sent here.

But after all, Zhang was in charge of the Yongle harem and had Zhu Di's approval. She did not directly express her opinion on this matter. Instead, she looked at Zhang Changshi and asked him: "Zhang Changshi, you are my Chief Shi of the son's residence, when my son was away, you were in charge of everything in the palace, what do you think about this matter?"

Although Zhang, as Zhu Zhanchun's mother, was naturally qualified to handle this matter for Zhu Zhanchun, and no one could make a mistake.

Originally, according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, the wife of the head of the house is in charge of the house, and Mrs. Zhang can even take charge of the house of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, she can also take charge of the house of Prince Zheng's house, and with Zhang's ability, she can also take charge of it well.

But Mrs. Zhang did not overstep her authority, but asked Zhang Changshi to come up with ideas. This is her cleverness.

Zhang Changshi naturally did not dare to neglect. He knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would have serious consequences, so after thinking about it carefully he said: "Your Majesty, I think we can accept these women sent by the Japanese, but You can't accept them all, just select a few of them to stay.

When selecting, the criteria for judging can be based on the positions and achievements of their fathers and brothers in the palace. In this way, the selected families will definitely be more loyal to the prince, and they can also set up a foundation for those who are not selected. A model. "

After hearing Zhang Changshi's suggestion, Mrs. Zhang thought about it and felt that there was no problem. Then she nodded and said, "Just follow Zhang Changshi's wishes, but when selecting candidates, you must also be careful not to exclude all candidates. Concentrate on the big families, but also give some places to those of the lower classes... They are called samurai, right? Leave a few places to the families of those lower class warriors."

Zhang did not explain why she did this, but Zhang Changshi understood what Zhang meant, bowed and then left Zhang's courtyard to deal with the matter.

Although Zhang did not explain anything specifically, Zhang Changshi already knew what he should do.

News soon spread from the hot spring annex. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, non-palace maids were not qualified to serve the prince's family. However, the princess was kind-hearted and appreciated the loyalty of the Japanese, so she allowed several Japanese women to enter the annex to serve them. Nourishing praise.

Upon hearing the news, the female relatives sent by the Japanese suddenly fell into excitement.

Before Zhang Changshi could arrange the personnel to select them, these Japanese women started a round of screening internally.

Who used to be a loyal lackey of the imperial family, but turned to the palace just to maintain the power of his family, and lorded it over the territory to ruin King Zheng's reputation; who was submissive on the surface, but was actually dissatisfied in his heart; who had too low a family status, etiquette, etc. I don't know the rules, it's too vulgar...

In short, only Japanese women with prominent family affairs, loyalty to King Zheng, outstanding achievements, and excellent etiquette and upbringing were qualified to become servants of the palace.

This undoubtedly eliminated most of them at once. Although it did screen out some people who acted according to the prevailing circumstances and whose goals were not pure, it also made many lower-level warriors suddenly feel dissatisfied. Under the confrontation between the two sides, Naturally, a quarrel broke out.These Japanese women are all from samurai families. They are not the charming ladies of the Ming Dynasty. They were raised in boudoirs and never left the house. Many of them had to help the family since they were young, and some even learned martial arts.

Therefore, when they quarreled, they naturally stopped arguing if they could. Soon several young ladies from the samurai family and the family members of the lower-level samurai began to fight with each other with swords.

Fortunately, Zhang Changshi soon sent out personnel to separate the quarrelsome people and announced the selection criteria.

With the intervention of the palace officials, these Japanese people naturally had no reason to continue quarreling and fighting. After reporting the reasons for their quarrel to the people in the palace, they began to accept the orders of the palace officials in accordance with the rules set by the palace officials. filter.

The people in the palace knew the reason for their quarrel, and after reporting the incident, Zhang Changshi also felt that some of those people who acted on the wind and had ulterior motives should be screened, so he asked his men to investigate. If it was true, Candidates who are opposed by most people will be screened out.

You must know that there are hundreds or nearly a thousand Japanese women sent by these Japanese people. Selecting only a few people is equivalent to selecting one out of a hundred, and naturally most of them will be screened out.

Those with ulterior motives among them must be eliminated as soon as possible. Regardless of whether they have positive or negative thoughts, they must be screened out.

Needless to say, there are no more negative thoughts. Although Prince Zheng's palace has now established a solid foundation in Kyushu and has won the support of many Japanese people. In addition, Zhu Zhanji married the female Japanese king, and the Ming Dynasty's rule in the Japanese country also has a legal basis, but it still Some Japanese people believed that the Ming Dynasty was an invader, someone who enslaved them, and wanted to drive away the Ming Dynasty.

This group of people has been cooperating with the shogunate in the war on Honshu Island, and has caused some riots from time to time, which caused a headache for King Ning and the three kings of Liaodong on Honshu Island.

As for the two uncles and nephews Zhu Zhanquan and Zhu Gaosui, because their territories are remote areas for the Japanese country, there are relatively few resisters, but it is not that no one is making trouble.

It's just that Zhu Zhanjuan has a large army to suppress him, and he is not afraid of any thorns that will jump out. This is especially true for Zhu Gaosui. After all, Zhu Zhanjuan had previously mobilized his army to go back to fight the Northern Expedition, and Zhu Gaosui's army had always stayed. In the fiefdom.

But this does not mean that there are no problems. At least it has happened that some people want to assassinate the king and kill him. However, Zhu Zhanquan has not been in the fiefdom all the time. The people who were assassinated were all the officials of the palace and the interpreters and local officials below. That’s all.

During the period when Zhu Zhanquan was away from the fiefdom, the official arrivals of the royal palace were fine. Except for one unlucky official who lost his life, a few subordinate officials who often ran down below were injured.

As for the translators and locals, there were relatively more troubles. Even many immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were harassed and attacked.

That is to say, Zhu Zhanjun didn't know this yet. If he knew it, he would have said that this was the so-called "Heavenly Punishment" that was very popular in the later generations of the Japanese country.
