Using a luxurious scam, he obtained the promise from Bishop Edward that the Ming Dynasty could cross the Ural Mountains and attack the Principality of Moscow!
Zhu Youxiao asked the people from the Ministry of Rites to negotiate with Bishop Edward and try to finalize this promise in terms of terms before the war started!
By doing this with Bishop Edward, it's not that Zhu Youxiao is afraid of the Holy See and European countries, but that he wants to put things in black and white. When he establishes a kingdom for his son in the future, if the Europeans come out to cause trouble, they will first use an agreement to block it. Their mouths!
¡°Some people will say that Zhu Youxiao¡¯s actions are unnecessary. If they don¡¯t admit it when the time comes, shouldn¡¯t they rely on their strength to fight?
But here¡¯s the problem. Countless public figures and celebrities in later generations have touted the contractual spirit of Westerners, but little did they know that the so-called contractual spirit is just a subtle display of strength!
Two people or countries of equal strength sign a contract for something, and use their own names to prove the validity of the contract. This seems civilized and elegant!
But only when the strength of both parties is equal, the contract will be truly effective. If the strength of both parties changes drastically, the signed contract will often become useless paper!
There is a saying in the West that contracts are meant to be broken!
Zhu Youxiao believed that the strength of the Ming Dynasty was enough to make the Holy See and Europe abide by any contract signed with the Ming Dynasty, so he went to great lengths to do this, just to reduce future troubles!
Of course, if the Europeans really wanted to break the contract at all costs, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't care. In later generations, there were two great men in Europe who almost unified Europe, but they both collapsed in the harsh Russian winter!
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao would like to have the opportunity to try to occupy Russia first and then attack the interior of Europe. Would it be easier?
Of course, it¡¯s too early to say this now. After all, Zhu Youxiao and Juliana¡¯s child has not been born yet. What Ming Dynasty needs to do now is not endless expansion, but the need to consolidate the newly acquired land!
Japanese country, Kyoto!
Tokugawa Iemitsu moved his short legs and quickly ran into the Associate Minister's Office!
This associate minister was appointed by Zhu Youxiao to Tokugawa Hidetada, which means to assist the leader of the Japanese country, Huai Enhou Mizuo, in handling government affairs!
But in fact, Tokugawa Hidetada does not need to be responsible to the ruler of the country. All he has to do is act according to the orders of the Ming Empire's commander of the Japanese army!
Although he has an unshakable master above his head, Tokugawa Hidetada, who was born in the Turtle family, is very happy with his current job. It can be seen that his endurance is even worse than that of his father!
In fact, Tokugawa Hidetada knew it in his heart, what else could he do if he couldn't bear it?
After being caught and walking around the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Hidetada finally realized the gap between Japan and the Ming Dynasty. That gap made Tokugawa Hidetada give up all thoughts of resistance and calmly became a loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty. !
When Tokugawa Iemitsu rushed in, Tokugawa Hidetada was practicing calligraphy. He felt that since he was going to be Ming's lackey, it was necessary to practice good calligraphy, so in addition to handling government affairs every day, he practiced diligently in the study. embellished!
Being disturbed by Tokugawa Iemitsu, a drop of ink fell on the paper!
"Iemitsu, what are you in such a panic about?" Tokugawa Hidetada put down his pen and asked!
"Father, according to the newspaper from the capital, the emperor granted the island of Shikoku to the British Duke. In addition, Nagasaki and Hedo were also used as fiefs, and were granted to Anping Hou Fang Congzhe and Anning Hou Sun Chengzong. If this continues, the Japanese The country is about to be completely divided!" Tokugawa Iemitsu took out a copy of the newspaper from his arms and said in panic!
Tokugawa Iemitsu frowned slightly, took the newspaper, opened it, read it, and then put the newspaper on the table!
"Isn't this great?" Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and said, "Now Ezo Island has been assigned to Nuerganduji, Shikoku Island has become a fiefdom of the British Crown Prince, and Kyushu Island will also be given to other adults as a fiefdom." , then the emperor¡¯s meaning is obvious, the Japanese country only needs to retain Honshu Island!¡±
"But" Tokugawa Iemitsu was about to say something else, but Tokugawa Hidetada stopped him!
"Iemitsu, you have to understand one thing. The Japanese country is now only a subsidiary of the Ming Dynasty, and it is an insignificant subsidiary. You just saw that Shikoku and Kyushu were treated as fiefdoms, but you saw why the emperor bestowed meritorious officials. "?" Tokugawa Hidetada asked in a deep voice!
"I saw it, because the emperor personally conquered Hou Jin and Zan Yuan, but what does this have to do with the carving up of the Japanese country?" Tokugawa Iemitsu's angerThere is still a gap between ? and knowledge, so I didn't realize what Ming's victory represented this time!
"Haha!" Tokugawa Hidetada said with a wry smile: "The Later Jin Dynasty is in Liaodong, and the Canyuan Dynasty is in the grassland. These two places combined are much larger than the ten Japanese countries. The reason why the emperor wants to divide the Japanese countries is It¡¯s just about digesting the territory it has already occupied. With the current strength of the Japanese country, what else can you say about being able to retain Honshu Island?¡±
Before Tokugawa Hidetada finished speaking, a guard ran in, knelt down and reported: "Sir, the Commander-in-Chief has invited you!"
Tokugawa Hidetada nodded and said, "I understand, I'll go right away!"
The guards went down, and Tokugawa Hidetada stood up and said: "Now is not the time to think about the Japanese country. What we should do is how to let the Tokugawa family continue for a longer time. This is more important than whether the Japanese country exists or not!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu also understood what his father meant, and his mood improved inexplicably. He asked, "Father, do you need me to accompany you?"
Seeing that his son had woken up, Tokugawa Hidetada smiled happily, nodded and said, "As long as you understand, let's come together!"
The Ming Empire's garrison headquarters in Japan is located next to the palace. Although the area is not large and the specifications are not high, the Ming Dynasty dragon flag flying on a five-foot-tall flagpole makes all the Japanese pass by. Whenever you come here, you have to kowtow and pay tribute!
Even the leader of the Japanese country, Huai Enhou Shui Wei, the first thing he did when he got up every morning was to bow to the Ming Dynasty dragon flag in the palace to show his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty!
Although this kind of loyalty was completely forced out by force, Huai Enhou Shui Wei found that she liked this kind of life more and more!
Because for Huai Enhou Shui Wei, she was a puppet before and now, but the difference is that she used to be a puppet for her own ministers, but now she is a puppet for the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
The most important thing is that in the past, when he was a puppet for his own ministers, he had to be in fear every day because he didn¡¯t know when he would be killed by his own ministers!
Even if his ministers didn¡¯t kill him, the former emperor¡¯s daily life was in dire straits, and many times he couldn¡¯t even get enough food and clothing!
But it¡¯s different now. Being a puppet for Emperor Ming not only doesn¡¯t have to worry about Emperor Ming killing him, but he also gets enough money and food!
Since the Ming Dynasty occupied the Japanese kingdom, not only has the palace been repaired, but there is no need to sleep in several places a night when it rains, and the food and drinks every day are finally like the king of the country, so much so that Shui Wei after Huai En has gained a lot of weight. few!
If someone asks Huai En what Shui Wei is most afraid of right now!
The lord of the country will definitely answer: "I am most afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not let the Japanese country go!"
Today, just after bowing to the Ming Dynasty dragon flag, a chamberlain reported to Huai Enhou Shui Wei: "Your Majesty, Commander Luo is coming to see you today, please be prepared!"
After Huaien, Shuiwei nodded without hesitation and said: "Tell Commander Luo that Gu will be waiting for him at any time!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
