Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 248

However, Tokugawa Iezuna, the fourth general of the Tokugawa shogunate, was a person with insufficient intelligence...that is, the level of IQ of [-] or [-], and it was impossible for him to govern by himself.Therefore, the major policies of the shogunate can only be "assessed" by a group of old middlemen, that is, they are discussed by everyone.

Of course these veterans did not dare to become the enemy of the public opinion of the world, and in the end they were confused and boarded the anti-Ming pirate ship by Kangxi and Ma Suike.

But these veterans are not the staff of Showa after all, so when they sent more people to the Caoliang Waguan to "shock" Daming, they also urged them to "avoid conflicts"-"shocking" Daming is for the domestic group For those who don't think it's a big deal, "strength to avoid conflict" is related to the stability of the shogunate.

Therefore, the veterans demanded that Choryang Woguan not allow the other party (Daming or North Korea) to allow them to leave the scope of the Waguan, otherwise they would all have to be seppuku after returning home!

This is why Zhu Hexi's "non-resistance policy" failed to attract the Japanese invaders, and later changed to hungry food and only attracted beggars... This is how the pretending to be cowardly meets the real cowardly.

So Zhu Heqi simply stopped pretending and sent Quan Shangxia to question him.

And Masao Tsuchiya is an important minister of the shogunate, and his father is an old middle school, so he naturally knows the pros and cons.

But it's important to eat!

So Tsuchiya Masao had no choice but to take a few high-status shogunate flag books and his own retainer Kanamaru out of the Choryang Wakan, and then arrived at a government office in Busan Punei under the escort of a team of Ming troops. Then came Quan Shangxia, the attendant minister of the Ming Dynasty who was wearing a red official uniform, a black veil on his head, and a confident smile on his face.

Because this meeting can only be regarded as a semi-formal meeting, there is not much etiquette. After the two parties met casually, they sat down face to face in the lobby and started to get down to business.

"Have you eaten?" Quan Shangxia asked with a smile.

"not yet……"

Masao Tsuchiya also knew a few words of Chinese—because Zhu Shunshui was praised by Mitsuki Tokugawa, an important shogunate official like him had to pretend to listen.

Quan Shangxia smiled and said: "Then let's make a long story short, let's make it clear quickly, and then you can go back to your hometown after you have a good meal."

Eat a good meal, and then go back to my hometown... It's really touching!

Tsuchiya Masa heard Kanemaru translate the other party's words, and then frowned and asked: "Is Ming Dynasty really going to attack Japan? Are they not afraid of following in the footsteps of Dayuan?"

His words were translated into Chinese by Quan Shangxia's clerk.

Quan Shangxia smiled and said: "It's not their Ming Dynasty, but our Ming Dynasty... Our North Korea is now a part of the Ming Dynasty! But your Japan is not eligible to become a province of the Ming Dynasty, and can only become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

But this is also very good, because there will be many vassals in the future, and Japan will be the head of all vassals!The benefits are huge... so it is totally worthwhile to fight a battle first and kill a few people.Because if you don't fight a war, you will not know the power of the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire will not know your usefulness.

Well, now you represent the Japanese shogunate and truthfully answer the questions raised by our Ming Dynasty! "

Chapter 578 There must be a battle, if you lose, you will be a dog!

Can you go home and have a full meal if you tell the truth?

Tsuchiya and the others still don’t know how delicious Daming’s “dog food” is, so they just want to go back to Japan as soon as possible, and don’t stay here in North Korea... No food, no drink, no women, a dignified samurai still has to beg for food, it’s really too much Crap.

Masao Tsuchiya and several senior bannermen exchanged glances, and everyone nodded together.

Tsuchiya said: "Minister wants to know something, then please ask... If you can tell me, I will tell you the truth!"

Quan Shangxia nodded, and winked at the North Korean correspondents who were taking notes, signaling them to prepare to record - these records will have to be signed by Tsuchiya later, this is evidence in court!

Zhu Heqi had to take these testimonies back to Nanjing and show them to the former Confucian scholars and counselors...

Only in this way can the subjugation of Japan be regarded as the national policy of the new Ming Dynasty!

Quan Shangxia began to ask: "Will Japan form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, the Netherlands, Spain, and Annan to oppose the Ming Dynasty's unification of China?"

"It's true...but that's because Daming insisted that our country give up its suzerainty over Ryukyu."

After listening to Tongshi's translation, Quan Shangxia just nodded lightly - as long as there is one!The reason is not important, and Ryukyu has always been a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty. If you occupy Japan without authorization, what should you do?

"Did Japan receive assistance from the Netherlands to train its army with the help of the Dutch East India Company?"

"Yes...but the Dutch East India Company didn't give much, and the officers they sent were all timid and cowardly. They boarded and fled immediately after seeing the fast boat of the Ming Dynasty appearing in the ocean near Jueying Island. What a shameless bunch. barbarians!"

For those Dutch people in advance, Tsuchiya was so angry!I was so scared to death that I didn't dare to face the Celestial Empire, so I knew how to fool Japan into rushing forward.The most hateful thing is that when their battleship saw a dozen or so small boats, they hoisted up their sails and fled in fright... without taking Tsuchiya with them.

This kind of coward is unreliable at all. Isn't it courting death to form an alliance with them?

Quan Shangxia is also very satisfied with this answer - this is to "leave Asia and enter Europe", and to be a dog for the Dutch Red Maoyi!

"Then, does Japan object to North Korea's withdrawal of its vassal and establishment of provinces?"

"Of course I'm against it!" Tsuchiya said regretfully, "I came to North Korea just to stop this matter, but it's a pity that I'm one step too late, so that there is no North Korea in the world anymore."

After Quan Shangxia knew Tsuchiya's answer, he really looked contemptuous - it would be great to join the Celestial Dynasty!

From now on, you Japanese samurai will be the dogs of the celestial dynasty, and I will be the high officials of the celestial dynasty who look after you dogs!

……

After fully confessing the crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists in attempting to interfere in China's internal affairs, preventing China's reunification, and being willing to serve as lackeys of Western imperialism, Masao Tsuchiya and his men finally had a good meal after many days and were then disarmed. They boarded ten armed merchant ships of the "Great Eastern" type and headed for Japan, which is across the water from North Korea.

In addition, there is also a "Great Eastern" ship traveling with these ten "Great Eastern" ships, and a mission with Song Shilie and Feng Xifan as the principal and deputy envoys is also on board-they carry a copy. A rather generous "unequal treaty" draft.

The "inequality" of this treaty mainly lies in the fact that Japan cannot become an equal and intersecting country with Ming Dynasty.Japan must sincerely join the suzerain-vassal system of the Great Ming Dynasty and become the "head dog" of the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, the emperor of Japan will no longer be able to have it anymore. Either it will be changed to the king of Japan, or it will be extinct quietly by itself, and someone else will be the king.

As for who is the king, Daming will not ask, but the king of Japan must submit to the emperor of Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the territory of the Kingdom of Japan cannot exceed the scope of the four major islands of Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Ezo and their nearby affiliated islands.

In other words, Japan must give up its claims to the Ryukyu Islands and Sakhalin Islands!

Third, Japan's navy must be strictly restricted and cannot have warships with a load exceeding one thousand akashi.

These three items are actually not too harsh, but if there is no fight, the Japanese samurai class probably will not accept it.

After all, the Japanese have never been dogs to the Celestial Dynasty in history, and of course they don't know the fragrance of dog food, so how can they give in so easily now?

Therefore, there must be a war between Ming and Japan!

As for what will happen if Japan loses, Zhu Heqi also clearly stated in the draft treaty-if you lose, you will be like a dog!

And it's not a meat dog that eats meat, but a military dog ​​that eats delicious food and is responsible for biting people!

Zhu and Chi have no interest in Japan's land, minerals, etc... It's not that those things are bad, but that there are better, more, and easier to grab in other places.

What's more, Zhu Heqi's zero-yuan purchases in other places are stealing money from the pockets of Western imperialism. If he robs one dollar more, the capital of Western imperialism to carry out industrialization will be one dollar less.

In addition, Zhu Heqi felt that he needed the help of the Japanese devils to do zero-yuan shopping...they are good at this kind of thing!And they can afford to die too!

So what Zhu Hechi is really interested in now is actually the 40 million samurai families and the population of about 2000 million in Japan.

You must know that France now has only this population, and it is already the number one big hooligan on the European continent.

England plus Spain plus the Netherlands plus Portugal is almost 600 million!

Relying on these populations, their countries have occupied most of the world.

And the internal living environment of the above-mentioned countries is far less than that of Japan... Japan is a "country of rolls" where the whole country eats vegetables and becomes dwarfs, and everyone is so hungry that their eyes glow green.Even if you mix with samurai, there is a high probability that you can barely eat enough.

And because Japan not only "rolls", but also pays too much attention to fighting fathers, so the majority of middle and lower-level samurai have no way out at all.

When they get the chance to be Daming's dog, they will know how delicious "dog food" is!

Think about how many "military dogs" three or 40 warrior families can "produce" for the Great Tomorrow Dynasty every year. At least two-thirds of the yuan purchase market must be lost!

Of course, it's not that easy to collect dogs... It's just a beginning now, and it won't be finished in a few years.

……

At this time, the spring snowmelt season in Northeast China is over, the land has dried up, and the long and slender Liaoxi Corridor is lush and green.In the warm spring breeze, a long dragon made up of eight colors is rolling forward. Infantry, cavalry, heavy soldiers, artillery, and countless people in rags who are escorted by cavalry are pulling carts or pushing Men and women on wheelbarrows are heading towards Shanhaiguan step by step.

This is Emperor Kangxi's "triumph army"... Although the vassal state of North Korea was lost, the harvest was not small. At least a lot of serfs were captured, and the bannermen's farms around Beijing would not be abandoned.

In addition, the achievements of Emperor Kangxi's "military reform" were tested in actual combat in North Korea, and valuable experience was also accumulated.

After digesting the experience gained in the Battle of Seoul, Emperor Kangxi felt that his army was really strong, not even weaker than the Ming army of the new Ming Dynasty... If the "sugar number" and "number" were not considered, Kangxi has the confidence to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

However, Kangxi didn't take advantage of the two weaknesses of "less sugar and fewer people".

In order to overcome "less sugar", he can focus on the development of low-sugar tactics, speed up the infantry's flintlock, and develop better black powder.

And the solution to "few people" is of course "receiving dogs"-this is what heroes think and agree with!

Zhu Heqi wanted to go to Japan to collect dogs to compete with Westerners for the zero-dollar purchase market, while Kangxi wanted to continue to implement the Qing Dynasty's "Manchu-Mongolian-based" and go to Mongolia to "collect dogs" and use the Mongols to deal with the Ming army.

And Burni, the enemy, is really helpful. He no longer hides in Tibet, but has the courage to go to Tumutchuan. It seems that he wants to enter Beijing or Datong... This is really "send the dog to the door" , Kangxi can't accept it if he wants to!

Chapter 579 The Great Khan spares his life, Kang Xiaohuang is willing to cede land, pay compensation, and get married!

When Emperor Kangxi's team marched to Shanhaiguan, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was walking side by side with a lama who was about his age, with dark skin, very dignified facial features, and looked very dignified. And there was talking and laughing.

The lama who can be as warm as Emperor Kangxi is certainly not an ordinary lama. His name is Sangjie Gyatso. He is the proud disciple of the fifth great lama, the senior brother of Kangxi and Galdan, and also the director of Diba of the Xueyu Yellow Sect. .

Today, the Heshuote Mongols who rule the snow-covered plateau are from the Western Mongolian Oirat Alliance. Their leader, Gu Shihan, was invited by the fifth great lama to go to Tibet to "protect the Dharma" during the reign of Chongzhen... At that time, Gu Shihan led Heshuo The Oirat allied forces with the Te Mongols as the main force left the Ili Grassland, passed through the territory of the Yeerqiang Khanate, first entered Qinghai, swept away the Mongolian tribes there, and then entered the snowy area, eliminating the Zangba Dynasty that opposed the Yellow Sect, thus Established the right to rule in Xueyu and Qinghai.

After Gu Shihan pacified Xueyu and Qinghai, he adopted completely different management methods for the two places.He implemented the Mongolian rules on the Qinghai grassland, enfeoffing the Qinghai grassland to his ten sons to manage.At the same time, a "dual rule model" that looks very strange in the Central Plains regime was implemented in the snowy region, ruled by the Khan and the Great Lama - not that one government has two heads, but that two systems have been twisted Ba came together.

And Diba is the head of the system of the great lama, equivalent to the prime minister.

Since the two Khan kings after Gu Shihan's death were relatively mediocre, they had little interest in the politics of the snowy plateau, and the fifth great lama held the power of the Yellow Sect with one hand and controlled most of the regime in the snowy area with the other. He successively accepted two outstanding apprentices, Galdan and Kangxi.So now he has ridden on the head of Dalai Khan, the grandson of Gu Shihan, and has become the actual leader of the Heshuot Khanate!

This is not a head, the great lama is also very keen to interfere in Mongolian affairs, and from time to time issued a decree, because there is a gold medal fighter like Galdan, so no one dares to treat the decree of the great lama as waste paper. As time goes by, the great lama He really has the power of a "Holy See leader".

And now Sangye Gyatso, who accompanied Emperor Kangxi into Shanhaiguan, is the most trusted and caring disciple of the fifth great lama... As early as three years ago, when he was only 23 years old, the great lama wanted to let him He served as the governor of Diba, the prime minister of Snowland.

Because he was too young, he attracted the opposition of a large number of eminent monks and nobles.So the great lama asked him to go to Emperor Kangxi to "gild" - to pass on the Dharma to Emperor Kangxi on behalf of the great lama.

Sangye Gyatso had a very strong relationship with Galdan, and now he is very close to Kangxi. His two juniors supported him, not to mention being the head of Diba, even if he became the king of Tibet, no one would dare to object.

So last autumn, the Grand Lama once again issued a decree, canonizing Sangye Gyatso, who was far away in Beijing, as the head of Diba, and asked him to return to the snowy area as soon as possible.

Sangye Gyatso, who received the decree from the Great Lama, immediately set off from Beijing to go to Kangxi to bid farewell, and Kangxi was returning with his army, so the two met outside Shanhaiguan, and then entered Shanhaiguan together.

When Emperor Kangxi appeared in Shanhaiguan on a war horse, the Qing emperor, who was already quite familiar with military affairs, looked at the wilderness in Shanhaiguan, and said to Sangye Gyatso with emotion: "In the past, I had a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in the Qing Dynasty. Li Zicheng's 15 army was defeated here, and Li Zicheng's elite soldiers lost more than half in this battle, and since then he has been afraid of our Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty... It can be said that it was this battle that created the entry of the Qing Dynasty The great situation in the Central Plains!"

Sangye Gyatso is an extremely smart lama... and like Kangxi, he is a master of learning everything very quickly, so he has a lot of common language with Kangxi, and he also understands the mind of this young emperor.Immediately he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, is it time for the Qing Dynasty to fight to determine the world?"

Kangxi laughed loudly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from senior brother... Now is indeed a critical moment. Although the fate of the Central Plains cannot be determined, the fate of the grassland can be determined."

Sangji Gyatso rolled his eyes, "So, that Genghis God Blessed Khan, like Li Zicheng, came to die by himself?"

Kangxi smiled and nodded: "Now I'm afraid that he will suddenly wake up and escape from Kuku and Tun."

Sangji Gyatso already understood the meaning of the emperor's younger brother, put his hands together, smiled and said: "Your majesty, the poor monk is going back to the snowy plateau, maybe he can pass by Kuku and Tun, and he can be a messenger for you. Is there anything you want to say to Lord Burni?"

Kangxi was in a pretty good mood now, so he laughed loudly and said, "Then I will have Brother Lao... If there is a senior brother, the traitor Burni will definitely be fooled!"

Sangye Gyatso was a little dumbfounded when he heard the praise from his junior brother. As soon as he became a monk, he obviously didn't lie, so how could he say that Burni must be fooled?

Thinking of this, Sangji Gyatso said to Kangxi a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the poor monk is always honest and not good at lying...I don't know what to say to the benefactor of Burni?"

Kangxi glanced at Sangji Gyatso and said with a smile: "I know that my brother is an honest gentleman... so, you go and tell Burni that I will move my capital to Shengjing soon, so I don't want to fight with the Mongolian Khan." Go to war.

As long as the Great Khan agrees to the truce, I am willing to cede the herdsmen and pastures of the Xilin Gol League to the Great Khan, and I am also willing to give the Great Khan an annual coin of 50 taels of silver.

I also heard that his Fujin disappeared last year, and I can decide to marry Eleven Gege from Prince An's family to him as the successor of Fujin. "

Sangji Gyatso thought for a while, and said honestly: "If the emperor can write a letter in his own hand, the poor monk is confident that he can coax the benefactor of Burni."

Kangxi laughed again: "I knew that senior brother would definitely be able to do it!"

I have to say that Kangxi, a wise man, is a bit accurate in judging people.Don't look at Sangji Gyatso's majestic appearance, but in history, this man can coax such great people as Kangxi, Galdan, and Tsewang Arabutan (Galdan's nephew) around.After the passing away of his mentor, the Fifth Great Lama, he kept his mourning in secret, and declared that the Great Lama was practicing in seclusion, and that he would convey all the wishes of the Great Lama.

Then he used the name of the great lama to issue orders and ordered Galdan to send troops to the east to attack the Qing Dynasty twice. He also used the name of the great lama to mediate the conflicts between Galdan's uncle and nephew. Taiji aided Galdan.

It has been like this for more than ten years, until Galdan passed away, and Kangxi caught the eminent monk sent by Sangye Gyatso to Galdan, and then learned that the great lama had already passed away...

It was such an "honest monk", holding a letter written by Emperor Kangxi, and leading a large group of accompanying lamas, on the first day of April, he arrived at Kukuhetun, the blue city on the Tumotechuan grassland. .

Although Burni and Huangjiao didn't deal with it very well, he still learned the lesson from his grandfather Lin Danhan and tried his best not to conflict with the fifth great lama.

Especially after Galdan was ordered by the Fifth Grand Lama to help Hezhuo of the Yeerqiang Khanate to fight the "War of Gods", he also sent his father Abu Nai to personally lead the team into Tibet to make tea (equivalent to burning incense). ), the old man is still on the snowy plateau now!

So Burni was quite happy to hear that the proud student of the Great Lama of Xueyu had come to Kukuhetun.At the moment, Wu Yingqi, who had just arrived with his troops in late March, and the Mongolian Khan of Sankhalka went out of the city to greet them, and invited the "honest monk" Sangji Gyatso who came from afar into Kukuhetun, and sent him Please enter the Silver Buddha Temple in the city.

In the Silver Buddha Temple, Sangji Gyatso took out Emperor Kangxi's personal letter in public, and said to Burni with a sincere face: "Khan, the Qing emperor has begged for mercy from you, as long as you don't send troops to attack him, he is willing." Land cession, compensation, marriage... and he will soon move his capital to Shengjing."

Chapter 580 You've Been Fooled!I am the most curly!

"Good, good! Ceded the herdsmen and pastures of the Xilin Gol League, gave 50 taels of old coins, and married the daughter of Prince An to me. It's really great! If I can get the herdsmen and pastures of the Xilin Gol League, plus the original The grasslands on the left and right flanks of Chahar, Monan Mongolia is almost all for me, plus the three tribes of Khalkha in Mobei, I already have the situation of Dayan Khan..."

After reading Kangxi's handwritten letter, Burni already had a pleasant smile on his face.It seems that the conditions offered by Emperor Kangxi are quite satisfactory to him!

Wu Yingqi, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, the three Khalkha Mongolian Khans present, and Burni's younger brother Luo Buzang all laughed in response to the occasion.

Then he Burni said to Sangji Gyatso with a smile on his face: "Master Lama, I heard that you are Emperor Kangxi's brother?"

Sangye Gyatso clasped his hands together and replied: "Exactly... this poor monk is here to teach Buddhism to the emperor's younger brother on behalf of his master, the fifth great lama..."
