Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 278 Chapter 278: Did the Japanese mission send a gift to King Feng?

Two months ago, the Ming Dynasty's 100,000-strong navy rushed to the Korean military port. They originally planned to launch a surprise attack before Japan could react!

But because of Zhu Biao's sudden death, the plan changed, and the break lasted for two months!

There is only the Tsushima Strait between North Korea and Japan, and ships of behemoths are lingering at the door of their hometown in Japan. How could they not know about it?

Maybe one day, these behemoths will really drive to their hometown in Japan!
Looking at the small boats they used to go out to sea to plunder, it is estimated that if they meet, they will be scattered by these behemoths of the Ming Dynasty!

What's more important is that the warships of the Ming Dynasty are not only huge in size, but also much faster than ordinary ships!
It would only take a few hours to get from North Korea to Japan!

Japan once dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty many times, but it was only because it relied on the gap of the vast sea that it had such confidence!

In addition, there are storms at sea from time to time all year round. They are also sure that Ming Dynasty does not have the ability and courage to fight across the sea!
But now the situation is different. North Korea has actually become a part of the Ming Dynasty. If troops are sent from North Korea, why do we need to worry so much?

So the Japanese side was completely panicked!

After learning that the Ming Dynasty was about to raise troops to fight, everyone was almost frightened, and they quickly sent an envoy over.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hearing this, Li Xin could only smile and nodded.

Zua and Feifu looked at each other, and the former then stepped forward and opened the door directly, and saw a middle-aged official from the Ming Dynasty standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.

When Zua heard this, his heart moved, and he quickly let He Jin into the house, and then quickly closed the door.

Zua gritted his teeth, but at the same time he didn’t have much hope for this!
After all, who can believe that a thirteen-year-old child can influence the situation in Ming Dynasty and Japan?
Even if he is the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible in their eyes!
After all, there is the Ming Emperor and the Ming Prince up there!

"Did we get the wrong person?"

Fatty's brows were knitted into knots. Just doing Tai Chi with the officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple these days has already made him very anxious!
"Both the emperor and the prince refuse to show up. This matter is indeed difficult to handle!"

"I am He Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. I came here today because I heard that your mission seems to have encountered a little trouble. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"

In fact, neither Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nor Ashikaga Yoshimochi wanted to start a real war with the Ming Dynasty. The father and son had never paid attention to their relationship with the Ming Dynasty before, but now they are anxious. It is a pity that the ancestors sent to sue for peace. Ah and Feifu are destined to disappoint their father and son!

"This is not something I can accomplish alone. I have several other colleagues who are also involved..."

"But we can't put all our hopes on this Zhu Xiaqiu!"

Now that Zhu Yue has become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the status of Li Xin, the father-in-law, has naturally risen with the tide!
But when facing Zhu Yue, I also felt the pressure was getting bigger and bigger!
In this way, after the Japanese delegation came to Xi'an, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, they did not even see the face of the Crown Prince Zhu Li, and they could only wander around Honglu Temple anxiously!
Zua is an envoy sent by Japan and one of the confidants of the former shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. The other deputy envoy is named Feifu. The two of them are sitting in the official residence of Honglu Temple at the moment, planning how to do it. Let Ming Dynasty stop using troops against Japan!

"Money is easy to talk about. If this matter can be disguised, it will be no problem even if the benefits are multiplied several times, it will be enough for Mr. He and your colleagues to share it equally!"

"Let the Ministry of Rites send a few officials to argue with them. Anyway, don't bother me!"

He Jin's eyes lit up, but he didn't say the next words either. This was because he didn't finish the words on purpose, just waiting to see Zu'a's attitude!

Zua waved his hand very boldly and promised firmly.

When Zhu Yue heard this, she waved her hand disapprovingly.

Anyway, with these officials helping to deal with it, he is too lazy to deal with these Japanese people!

"It turns out to be Mr. He, come in quickly!"

Zu'a didn't know why, but he still asked in somewhat stiff Chinese.

The official named He Jin looked around and found no one else there, and then he explained.

Before he finished speaking, Zua raised his hand to interrupt.

"But we took a big risk by introducing the Wind King to you."

Although Zua and Hitomi are both nominally members of the current shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, in fact Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still firmly controls the entire shogunate even if he abdicates!

"You mean, we go directly to the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiaqiu?"

"Dong dong!"

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not in Xi'an, and Zhu Yue, who has just become the crown prince, is also avoiding us. This is obviously not giving us a chance to negotiate. What should we do now?"

Zu'a's face was also very gloomy, but at the same time he reminded him in a change of tone.

Zua had previously asked an official from Honglu Temple to help with a matter, and he also promised many benefits. He knew that if someone came to him, the matter should be almost done!
"Yes, I and Mr. Zhang are from the same hometown. I heard him talk about the plight of your country's mission, but I don't know what the envoy and Mr. Zhang said..."

"What do you call this lord?"

The officials in the Ministry of Rites may not be very efficient when it comes to doing things, but when it comes to doing Tai Chi, they are definitely the best among the six!

"But can he be in charge?"

After Zhu Yue learned the news, he knew without thinking that these envoys must be here to please and seek peace!
"Your Highness, the Japanese mission has been here for ten days. They have been clamoring to see you every day. Are you going to let them go like this?"

The Ming Dynasty court did not refuse to allow the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiaqiu to meet them, but they all knew that Zhu Xiaqiu was only a thirteen-year-old child now, not yet an adult!
Isn't it a joke to expect to discuss national affairs with such a child?
"No matter what, I can only give it a try!"

Mainly the officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were harassed by the Japanese mission every day, and then these officials came to harass the cabinet!
"It's impossible for me to see them!"

"Don't worry, Master He. If you can really introduce us to the Wind King of the Ming Dynasty, the reward we promise will definitely not be less!"

"Old minister, I understand!"

"But I heard that the person in charge of the Ming Dynasty now seems to be some kind of crown prince? The crown prince Zhu Li doesn't care about anything at all!"

Li Xin, the cabinet minister, was also paying attention to the affairs of the Japanese mission during this time. When he saw Zhu Yue at the stall, he took the initiative to ask about it.

Fatty but with a worried look on his face.

"Master He, are you friends with Master Zhang from Honglu Temple?"

A sharp look flashed in Zu'a's eyes, but he quickly hid it. He was secretly scolding He Jin for being greedy!
"Okay, then it's settled!"

"Someone will come here to find you later, you just need to follow him!"

After He Jin got a satisfactory reply, he didn't intend to argue with Zua and the others anymore, so he turned around and left their house.

"These Ming officials are really greedy!" After He Jin left, a look of disdain flashed across his fat face and he snorted.

"Being greedy is indeed annoying, but otherwise, how could we have the chance to meet His Highness the Wind King?"

"As long as we can make Ming Dynasty stop its troops, it's worth paying this price!"

"I just hope that His Highness the Wind King of the Ming Dynasty is also greedy and can play some role!"

Zua, however, sneered noncommittally.

"I have already made inquiries. It is said that many foreign missions from Honglu Temple have dealt with His Highness the Wind King. Privately, His Highness the Wind King has received a lot of benefits!"

Fei Fu even sneered.

Indeed, the fierce fighting between His Highness Prince Feng and the envoys from various countries is already known to everyone, whether in Hanzhong or Xi'an Mansion, and it is not a big secret.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not see them, and the crown prince Zhu Yue refused to see them. Now Zua and Feifu were forced to focus on the third generation Zhu Xiaqiu and Zhu Xifeng!
"If that's the case, let's do both!"

"If both Zhu Xiaqiu and Zhu Xiafeng are impressed by our conditions, there may not be a chance that the Ming Emperor will change his mind!"

Although Zua said this, his face was still uncertain, and he obviously didn't have much confidence.

But no matter what, this is the best way they can think of at the moment. They can only say that they will try their best!

……

Zhu Xifeng was in a very good mood these days.

The main reason is that the 30,000 sets of equipment that I requested are all available. As long as the Guards train according to the plan, it will not take long to form a terrifying combat effectiveness!
This will be Zhu Xifeng's most elite force in his future battles in the entire Mobei!

What's more important is that he has learned from his father Zhu Li that the attack on Japan this time will be carried out by him and Lan Yu's gang of Huaixi nobles. It can be regarded as a practice in Japan before he becomes a vassal!

What Zhu Xifeng desires most now is naturally to prove his strength. He also really wants to know how far he can go on the battlefield?
Although he has absolute confidence in his own strength, he has no actual combat experience, so he does not have a clear concept!

Zhu Xifeng does not live in the palace now, but bought a large house in Xi'an Fucheng and used it as his temporary Fengwang Palace!

So if he doesn't enter the palace, he really won't be able to meet Zhu Xiaqiu!
"I had a quarrel with my second brother last time. I wonder if this kid will have some knots in his heart?"

"Why don't you go to the palace and say a few nice words to ease the relationship?"

Zhu Xifeng was not in a hurry to go to the Guards camp today. After having lunch, he was considering whether to go to the palace to find Zhu Xiaqiu to ease the relationship between the brothers.

After all, Zhu Xiaqiu took the initiative to take a step back, but he didn't show any expression yet!
"Your Highness, there are some Japanese people outside, saying they are here to see you!"

At this moment, the guard suddenly came in to report.

"kindness?"

"Japanese?"

"Are they those Japanese missions?"

"It's interesting. They all found me here?"

Zhu Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then grinned.

Thinking with his toes, he knew why these Japanese people came to him, but he did not refuse and asked the guards to bring them in.

Naturally, it was Zua and Feifu who came, along with a few followers, but they were all stopped outside the hall.

"Zu'a (Fei Fu), the special envoy of Japan, meets His Highness the Feng King of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zua and Feifeng saw Zhu Xifeng, they saluted directly and respectfully.

"What are these crappy names?"

Zhu Xifeng suddenly frowned, mainly because the names of these two people were too funny.

In fact, most of the Japanese people in this period chose their names very casually, and there were so many ordinary people who only had nicknames but no surnames!

For example, in later generations, the surnames Tanaka, Nakamura, Inoue, etc. were all made up casually without thinking!
Zua and Feifu were not from rich families. They were just ordinary pariahs in the past. Naturally, their names were even more casual!
Although Zhu Xifeng only muttered something subconsciously and his voice was not loud, Zua and Feifu still heard it clearly. The smiles on their faces instantly solidified, and the corners of their mouths twitched unconsciously!

"You came to see me, what do you want?"

Zhu Xifeng looked at the two people who were obviously half-dead with anger, but could only keep smiling faces, and continued to ask calmly.

"His Royal Highness Feng Wang, we have actually admired you for a long time. Your name is already well-known even in Japan!"

"The two of us came here specially to pay a visit today. We only hope that His Highness Feng Wang can feel our sincerity and Japan's goodwill towards His Highness Feng Wang!"

"This is a little thought we have prepared for His Highness Feng Wang, and please accept it!"

As Zua said, he presented the gift he had prepared in advance with both hands!
The guard on the side, under Zhu Xiafeng's instruction, directly handed over a delicate small box in Zu'a's hand to Zhu Xiafeng's hand.

Zhu Xifeng opened the box and took a look, and saw that there was a round piece of bronze and white jade inside!

It is a handicraft with a bronze outline and a white jade theme. You can tell it is worth a lot just by looking at it!

"You guys, Japan actually has such good things?"

"Then I will accept it!"

Zhu Xifeng chuckled and immediately put the box aside.

When Zua and Feifu heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up!
Thank you!

As the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth and taking people has short hands. I’m afraid you won’t take it. Otherwise, how can we raise the conditions?

"His Royal Highness Feng Wang should have felt the goodwill of our Japanese. Japan has no intention to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. I only hope that His Highness Feng Wang can put in a few good words for us in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince and persuade them to cancel their plan to use troops against Japan!"

Zua directly stated his purpose.

ps: Brothers, can you humbly ask for a few free recommendation votes? I beg you on your knees!
