The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

　　 The letter paper is quite exquisite and luxurious, with gold leaf on the back and a brilliant golden light. The Chinese characters written on the front paper are clear and tidy, and the pen is strong. It comes from the Japanese, which embarrassed the orthodox Han Yan Changwu.

　　 This letter did not say anything, one is greetings, and the other is to invite Yan Changwu to Edo for a discussion!

　　 was signed by Hidetada Tokugawa, with his seal.

　　Ogisho Hidetada Tokugawa!

　　 The third son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the mother is the side room Saigo Bureau (Nishigo Aai), and the young name is Nagamatsumaru. Because the eldest brother Nobuyasu Matsuhira was ordered by Oda Nobunaga on suspicion of Naito Shingen Takeda in his early years, and the second brother Hideyasu Yuki became the adopted son of the Yuki family. Therefore, the official position of Hidetaka became the heir of the Tokugawa family from a high-ranking minister to Tokugawa. The second general of the shogunate (1605--1623).

In 1623, Hidetada gave up the general position to his eldest son Tokugawa Iemitsu. He followed the example of Ieyasu and became a "Oisho". He still lived in Edo Castle for dual politics (equivalent to Tokugawa Iemitsu is the emperor, he is the emperor, and the government is still in his hands. in).

　　The Japanese person who delivered the letter looked handsome, and said loudly: "Xiaguan is the shogun’s ‘old middle’ eight generation Hiraizumi. He has given the imperial decree of His Highness the Imperial Palace, and urges His Royal Highness to go to Edo to meet with His Imperial Highness and discuss important matters!"

　　 said, bowed deeply.

Laozhong’s official position is not low. It is the highest permanent position of the shogunate. The directly subordinate generals are responsible for the supreme responsibilities of government affairs under the auxiliary jurisdiction. The shogunate officials of the prime ministers consist of four or five hereditary princes who have more than 25,000 shi. Assigned in.

　　 So the Japanese are enough to save face. In fact, this old man is the face of the shogunate. He is beautiful, can speak Chinese smoothly, and can also speak foreign languages. He is equivalent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

　　 The eight generations of Hiraizumi called Yan Changwu "His Royal Highness", which is consistent with the name of Yan Changwu in the letter, and expressed his recognition of Yan Changwu.

　　 "The eight generations of the old middle school, you have been working hard from afar, please go down and rest first." Yan Changwu's mouth squatted and said, "Let's say hello to this old middle school!"

　　 He read the letter again, and handed it to Chen Zhongji, saying, "Let someone copy a copy and save it. You can use the original as a family heirloom!"

　　 Chen Zhongji was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Warlord!"

　　 This is history. After a few years, even if the children and grandchildren lose their homes, they can still be sold for money.

　　 Therefore, the Southeast Mansion is still a grass-roots team. How can anyone sell official documents privately like this?

　　 But Chen Zhongji was a little worried and said: "If the Lord Ogose knew that we did this, would he be unhappy?"

　　 Yan Changwu laughed and said: "No!"

"I'm attacking Satsuma Domain now and slapped Japanese people in the face. He also called me his Royal Highness. If you wipe his **** with his letter paper, he won't be upset!" Yan Changwu knows the Japanese people well and said: "If you have the strength, they will Will respect you, they just owe you!"

　　 "Then you decided to go to Edo?" Chen Zhongji asked.

　　 "Of course, there is nothing to grab here!" Yan Changwu's answer was simple and rude.

Sure enough, after three days, after the looted people and things were all packed and transported, the fleet of twelve warships (Kaohsiung No. 1 was barely able to move after rush repairs) and one Ryukyu ship, there were only thirteen. The boat went to Edo, which was a bit shabby.

　　The other ships transported slaves. Originally, three ships came from the Ryukyu Kingdom, but two were requisitioned to transport the slaves. If it weren't for the Ryukyu Kingdom’s face, even his ship wanted to requisition it!

　　Don't tell me, this time in Satsuma, in just a short time, we robbed 10,000 Japanese people!

Japanese slaves are actually a good source of population. Compared with other races, they are more gentle and obedient. Moreover, their children, raised from childhood and raised in a Chinese atmosphere, can be directly naturalized in the future and are absolutely loyal to the Chinese. If they fight back to the Japanese and Japanese, they will all be qualified to lead the way!

　　 It's a pity that such opportunities are too few!

　　...

　　 "Edo, here we are!" Yan Changwu said cheerfully on the deck.

　　'S name comes from the construction of Edo Castle in 1457. The construction of Edo Castle is said to have been completed by the lord of Musashi Kawagoe (now Saitama Prefecture), Uesugi Sadamasa, under the order of the Ashikaga Shogunate in Kyoto and his retainer Ota Michikan. When choosing a location, Ota saw this area of ​​the Kanto Plain, which is a humid area but surrounded by mountains and seas, and built Edo Castle ("Edo" means "hekou") in this area. The meaning originated from the Sumida River flowing into Tokyo Bay, which was called "Edo Bay" at the time). After that, history entered the Warring States Period where military commanders from all over the country fought for years.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Tokugawa Ieyasu achieved a crucial victory in the battle of Sekihara (victorious over the monkey family), and since then began the Edo Shogunate rule based on Edo Castle. Therefore, Hu has become a political city. After that, the population of Edo Castle increased and gradually developed into the central city at that time. Now it has a population of hundreds of thousands.

During the development of Edo Castle, two different types of areas have gradually formed: one is the civilian activity area-"Shitamachi", where many merchants, vendors, and craftsmen gather here. They are mainly engaged in water transportation on the Sumida River, and Edo. Material distribution and various commercial activities in Hong Kong.

　　The other is the upper-class social activity area-"Yama no Hand", which includes the residential area of ​​Daimyo and the residential area of ​​Banner, and is the political center of Edo Castle.

　　 The political and economic development of Edo City also contributed to the prosperity of culture. The formation of civilian culture also symbolized the cultural development of Edo Castle entered its heyday.

　　 After the Tokugawa family gained the ruling power of the Japanese country, they revised their texts and the military, and the Japanese country entered into a long-term peace.

　　 Actually, the Edo shogunate has done a great job for Wa country!

　　Wait until the shogunate returned the government to the emperor, what path did Wakuni take?

　　 Cherry Blossom Road!

　　 The short-term splendor turns into a long-term flower mud, which can be trampled on!

Expanding abroad, occupying North Korea, attacking the Qing country, and ultimately losing cleanly in World War II. It has never been able to become a normal country (and the US garrison). It will never stand up if it bears the original sin, and it will be beaten by the eastern powers whenever something special , And Western powers have had super-friendship with Japanese women after a period of time. The Japanese dare to say nothing? !

　　...

　　 At this time, Yan Changwu used a mirror tube on the Edo Bay to take a look at the east of Edo Castle, and to the west, with a smile that made the Japanese wretched.

　　 Hey, Edo!

　　 provokes labor and management, and makes it "the flower of Edo!"
