Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

It can be said that Kita, who was always known as the "Prime Minister" in Japan's Kan'ei era, was forced to threaten to commit suicide by caesarean section in front of Qin Hao's general's palace, threatening to die. You can imagine the seriousness of the matter.

Kita was kneeling on the ground at the door of the mansion. His upper body was unclothed. His delicate white flesh was blown by the cold wind and had numerous small bumps. There was a rib beside his leg. The retainer behind him was standing with a long knife in both hands. Acting as his intermediary, he used the long knife in his hand to cut off Kita's head.

Someone was kneeling in front of the gate of General Qin Hao, who was in charge of Hsinchu, Keelung, Ryukyu, and Kobe, and was the most powerful man in the East China Sea. The normally lively Chinese people could not help but watch.

"Who is this kneeling old guy?"

"I don't know him, but he looks pretty good!"

A group of idle men near the camp gate formed a thick circle outside, giving advice and discussions, but most of them did not recognize Kita Kaori.

"'General Fu Bi' Kitajeong, the minister of His Highness Shuiwei after Fuso!"

During the Dragon Boat Festival, local officials at all levels who came to visit the general's palace tried to have a drink and catch up with their colleagues in the general's palace. Many of them knew Kita's portrait.

Nowadays, a kind of Picasso's Western painting method is popular in Keelung. It is said that it was invented by the general. That kind of painting technique is really amazing. You can draw your eyes, nose, ears, and even a few moles on your face clearly.

Naturally, Picasso's Western painting techniques also became a means for officers and officials at all levels to recognize each other.

There are 500,000 people in Keelung, and there are more than 3,000 officials at all levels. It is impossible for so many people to have met Qin Hao, and portraits are the best way for them to pay their respects.

"Kita Laozhong, you are considered a classy and decent person in Fuso, how come you resort to such rogue methods?"

Amidst the sound of drum music, the gate of the camp was opened wide. Qin Hao, escorted by dozens of soldiers, came to the gate. After saluting the many officials and people who knelt down and saluted him, Shi Shiran came to look at death with a resolute expression. Yamada protects Kita in front of the card.

"General, if you cannot agree to the foreign minister's request, then not only the foreign minister will have to have a caesarean section to apologize to my family's palace, but also half of the foreign minister's entourage will have to have a caesarean section in front of the general's palace to apologize!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! After all this, you have left blood stains all over the ground and dead bodies scattered in front of my door. How unlucky is it? Besides, I occupy Kobe, and I don't have a good relationship with your shogunate. Recently, I heard that the shogunate General Tokugawa Iemitsu said he wanted to take back Kobe, but I wonder if this is the case?"

Xita Zheng was able to achieve the position of a middle-aged man, and he was definitely not a person who was in vain. Hearing the meaning in Qin Hao's words, he immediately jumped up, knelt and crawled a few steps forward.

"Foreign ministers don't dare. This Kobe is the territory of the main palace. If the general needs it, I will naturally offer it with both hands. As for the shogunate's rude remarks, I hope the general will forgive him!"

Renjing Kitazheng immediately felt that the relationship between Qin Hao and Tokugawa Iemitsu was not very harmonious.

Point to point!

This is also conducive to the plan of the main hall. Kita Shougang knelt down again and shouted loudly: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king? The shogunate is not the main hall of Fuso. He cannot represent the meaning of the main hall. He can't represent the meaning of the main hall." I hope the general will understand clearly."

Kita's meaning is very obvious. When I go to Keelung as an envoy, I am not representing the shogunate, but representing His Majesty the Great Hall. I am not the same person as Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Qin Hao nodded happily and personally took Xido Zheng to the living room.

I originally thought that attacking Fusang was against humanity, and attacking others without an excuse was a tyranny from ancient times to the present. But now that someone has come to our door, it is for the best.

As soon as he arrived at the living room, Kita Nobu immediately jumped up and knelt forward a few steps. "The country is in a difficult situation and the building collapsed. The foreign minister begged the general for help to save His Majesty the Great Hall."

The building will collapse, and it cannot be supported by a single tree!

The centralized feudal system, that is, the monarchy and the imperial system, were introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty. There is a famous "Dahua Reform" in Japanese history, which introduced the advanced social system of the Tang Dynasty to Japan.

Theoretically, Japan had entered a feudal society at this time, but the Emperor of Japan failed to centralize power.

The feudal system of enfeoffment, also known as the feudal kingship system, is called the "shogunate" in Japan. Its actual leader is Japan's "General of the Conquest of Barbarians". It was established by the Japanese military general Minamoto Yoritomo, which is the Kamakura shogunate in Japanese history. , the time was probably in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty.

It has been more than 400 years now. Isn’t it a bit excessive for you to say that the building is falling down now?

As expected, Taizu was right, Fusang Japs should be treated differently.

Some devils don't speak human language at all!

Qin Hao said that he did not understand what Xita Zheng said at all, and he still drank tea leisurely and talked and laughed with several attendants on the side.

This has made Xita Cheng anxious. After all, I am also a minister of a country. Not to mention that I am kneeling down to you, and you treat guests like this.

I always feel contempt in my heart, but the current situation is like this, and Kita is helpless.

After thinking for a moment, he knelt down and crawled to Qin Hao's feet, bursting into tears: "General, you are outside Xuanhu Island. I don't know how arrogant and domineering Tokugawa Iemitsu is, and how disrespectful he is."

"Kita Laozhong, this is your state affairs, and I can't interfere in it. You'd better go back."

State affairs?

Qin Hao's words made Xita Zheng's long-simmering feeling instantly collapse.

There is a garrison in Keelung in Kobe. When I was on my mission, I was inspected by your navy all the way.

All signs indicate Keelung’s attitude towards Fuso.

But now Qin Hao doesn't admit it, and Xido Zheng doesn't dare to pierce this layer of window paper.

The shogun wanted to attack the shogunate, and the lord also wanted to attack the shogunate. They should have hit it off immediately, but it was so difficult since they were sent as ambassadors. This was something Kita Nobu didn't expect.

Qin Hao looked coldly at the panicked Kita Certificate on the ground. Fortunately, you are still the Prime Minister. You don't have any sharp eyesight. It seems that you are really old.

"Although it is a state matter, it is also a family matter." Kita Kaori finally came to his senses.

Housework?

How can we admit that Fusang is an integral part of the motherland?

"General, when I came here this time, the palace told me that I would like to marry His Highness Xingzi to the general."

"And such a good thing?!"

Qin Hao had also heard a little bit about Her Highness Xingzi whom Kita testified. Xingzi was the youngest daughter of Hou Mizuo and the second to last empress of Fuso. It can be said that her rise to the throne was purely accidental.

This has to be said that in the history of Japan, it is no less than the Daika Reform and the Honnoji Rebellion, and it is even worse than a palace coup.

That is the famous Kanyong Rebellion!

The Kan'ei Rebellion started in the three places of Izumi, Kawachi, and Yamashiro in Kanto. This area was originally under the direct control of the emperor. But at that time, Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to conquer the rebellion, but he had no money, so he started the Kanto Three Kingdoms idea.

Without any suspense, Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu successfully obtained the position of Guardian of the Three Kingdoms with the support of many ministers.

But the good days didn't last long. I don't know if it was three to five years later, or seven or eight years later. Qin Hao couldn't remember clearly.

Anyway, it was autumn of one year, and the originally fertile land in Izumi, Hanoi, and Yamashiro in Kanto was first flooded, and then there was no rain for half a year. The people had no harvest, and a great famine broke out.

However, Tokugawa Iemitsu still collected annual tribute according to the old practice and brutally executed several farmers who could not pay the annual tribute.

If it were a normal execution, that would be enough, and everyone would not be surprised.

It would be strange if the local feudal lord did not execute a few peasants who evaded taxes.

However, what makes them immortal is that these peasants who were executed had another identity. They were secretly Catholic believers.

After Tokugawa Iemitsu arrested these believers, he would hold a "stepping painting" ceremony for them.

The so-called "treading" refers to throwing the wooden sign with the crucifix on the ground. Let those who are suspected of being Christians step on them with their feet. Those who are willing to obey obediently will definitely be non-Catholics and will be sentenced to forced labor; if they are unwilling, they will be burned at the stake.

The group of believers who were arrested that year all had firm beliefs. They all refused to carry out Taoism and no one betrayed the organization.

So they were burned at the stake.

Not this year, but the seeds of hatred were sown in the hearts of Christians in the Three Kingdoms. In addition, the Tokugawa family did not carry out disaster relief that year, and they were still working behind the scenes to prevent a grain of food from flowing into Kanto. They raised prices and raised the price of food. .

In Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, the people of Kanto are not his own subjects, and it has nothing to do with him if they starve to death.

That year, the people of Kanto starved to death. By coincidence, there was another famine the next year. The Tokugawa family continued to do the same thing, not providing disaster relief and continuing to raise food prices.

The people of the Three Kingdoms who were already living on the verge of death completely cut off any hope of living, and then those Christians began to spread their faith.

As a result, the "hungry people's rebellion" began in the entire Kanto region.

Facts have proven that uprisings occur in all countries, especially when the people cannot survive.

At first, Tokugawa Iemitsu thought it was a small rebellion and didn't pay much attention to it, and his subordinates didn't report it. However, when he saw a flag that did not belong to the Tokugawa family appeared in the territory, he began to panic.

While recruiting troops, he began to control public opinion.

For the Tokugawa army with elite equipment, the rebels who lacked food and clothing were naturally defeated in one blow.

After putting down the rebellion, he naturally declared his responsibility to the world, but Tokugawa Iemitsu was a thief. He attributed all the credit for putting down the rebellion to himself, and attributed all the causes of the rebellion to Gomizuo.

Gomizuo, who was far away in Kyoto, said it was difficult to accept it. At first, you wanted the Three Kingdoms to protect you, and you would not go to relief except for famine. Now that such a problem has arisen, blame it on me.

No one can accept it, and the same goes for Hou Shuiwei, who is the main hall.

On the first day after Tokugawa Iemitsu's notice was released, Gomizuo gathered ministers and wanted to attack the Tokugawa family. As soon as the meeting ended, he was informed of Tokugawa Iemitsu's announcement.

Later that night, Mizuo was awakened by the sound of swords and guns outside. As soon as he went out, he saw Tokugawa Iemitsu carrying the heads of several sons.

After that night, Hou Shuiwei's male heir died, leaving only Xingzi who was sent out to his aunt's house.

I don’t know if I was frightened that night, or what, but Gomizuo became a monk. Fortunately, Xingzi became the queen. Unfortunately, she never married, and the Gomizuo family was cut off.

"I promise you!" Qin Hao, who was well aware of the future development, did his part.

"The general is wise!" Kita's eyes showed a hint of narrow-mindedness.

"I don't know why the general is sending troops to Guandong. I will also go back to the Ming Palace to welcome Master Wang."

"What? Send troops to Guandong!?" Qin Hao started to pretend to be stupid, "When did this general say this?"

"Zhuge Xuan, did you hear what I said?"

"Wei Chen doesn't know."

"Chen Hu, what about you?"

"Have not heard?"

"This is confusing! Mr. Lao Zhong, who did you hear this from? I will find him for you, general."

"General, did you personally agree to this just now?" Kita Cheng was angry and anxious.

"I only promised you to marry Xingzi Dian, but I didn't promise you to send troops."

"This?!" Kita was speechless.

"Don't discuss this matter anymore. Mr. Xita should go back." Qin Hao began to chase people away impatiently, "Send off guests!"

"General? General?" Xita Zheng still kept pestering Qin Hao, and he didn't stop until the guards pulled him out of the mansion.

He stayed in Keelung for another half month, sending greetings to the General's Mansion every day, but there was still no news.

Seeing Qin Hao's attitude, Hou Shuiwei no longer mentioned committing suicide by caesarean section to repay the drama in the main hall, and took a dozen attendants back by boat in despair.

"The old guy is finally gone." Qin Hao was filled with joy as he looked at the ship ticket sent by Keelung Customs.

Xita Zheng is really difficult to deal with. He has almost become unbearable after half a month of begging for nothing. If it weren't for the recent frequent requests for troop transfer petitions, which need to be signed one by one, this general's mansion covering an area of ​​more than ten acres would be really difficult. Can't stay.

"My lord, I'm afraid that Mr. Xita won't send a wedding invitation after he returns. Isn't that right?" Zhuge Xuan was a little worried.

"You, are you having too much official work lately and your brain is burned out?" Qin Hao shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't matter whether I send it or not. I'll have everything soon after I called you."

Qin Hao is not stupid either. Now there is no benefit in marrying Xingzi, who is just a princess. Only after Hou Shuiwei's sons are all dead can Xingzi come forward.

This is the position of his future daughter-in-law, and Qin Hao will fight for her to the death.

After the shogunate is killed, and then someone kills Gomizuo, isn't this Fuso his son-in-law?

As for sending out troops, they still have to be sent out, but they will definitely not be the Kanto mentioned by Kita-chan, but first Kyushu, Shikoku, and then Honshu.

"This war also requires you to coordinate and take care of the rear area and prepare all the ordnance and supplies. This is the lifeblood of our army."

"I wonder if the master will decide who among the three will be the head coach, so I can go and take over."

The three people Zhuge Xuan mentioned were Han Xian, Chen Hu, and Zhao Chang. Currently, only these three are the most qualified to lead the army.

The expedition included the fifth battalion of Shuntian Camp, totaling 5,000 people; the third battalion of Qijiaying Camp, totaling 3,000 people; and the navy's 3,000 people, plus various engineering soldiers and civilians, totaling more than 20,000 people.

With such an army, it is also difficult to choose a commander. Han Xian, the coach of the Shuntian Army, is prudent and well-organized. Chen Hu of the Qi Army is brave and experienced in combat. Zhao Chang of the Navy is brave and strategic. He originally proposed a sneak attack. Xiamen impressed Qin Hao.

Any one of the three is qualified for the job. No one is inferior in literary, Taoist or military strategy, but no one can be chosen.

"Forget it, I don't want to use any of the three of them."

"My lord, do you want to fight in person?" Zhuge Xuan asked tentatively.

"Naturally, instead of getting entangled, it's better to do it yourself!"

The last time he went to Kobe, Qin Hao had not yet experienced the gentleness of the Fuso woman. This time he tried every trick. If everything went well, he might be able to meet his future wife Xingzi in Kyoto.

Regardless of whether she is beautiful or ugly, Qin Hao will eventually accept her for the sake of hegemony.

Men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines since ancient times.
