Faced with Prince Zhiren¡¯s questioning, Qin Kan couldn¡¯t help but hesitate.
What Prince Zhiren said is not wrong. The Ming Dynasty has a clear law that all surrounding vassal countries pay tribute once every three years. As for the value of the tribute, the Ming Dynasty has never stipulated that the surrounding small countries are not rich. The Ming Dynasty was in the middle, like a group of big landowners surrounded by poor peasants and tenants. The emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who were influenced by Confucian generosity, were naturally embarrassed to demand the value of tributes like snobbish businessmen.
Precisely because of this face-saving omission, neighboring vassal states took advantage of the opportunity, resulting in Ming Dynasty suffering heavy losses for more than a hundred years. North Korea is an obvious example.
The rule of paying tribute every three years was changed to three or even four or five times a year in North Korea. Such frequent tributes are definitely not due to the loyalty and respect of the North Korean leader Lee to the suzerain country. It is really profitable. Every time North Korean envoys enter When paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor often only gave some yellow gauze cloth, white gauze cloth, linen cloth, and some cheap medicinal materials dug in deep valleys. In addition, some virgins over thirteen years old, vassals and vassal states By sending something so politely, the Ming court, as a state of Chinese etiquette, was not only overjoyed, but also naturally could not weaken the face of the suzerain country, so the gifts in return were either gold or silver, and their value was often ten times or even several times higher than the tribute. ten times.
After tasting the sweetness for the first time, North Korea was shocked. The leader of the Li family finally discovered that there was such a generous and invisible enemy next to his country. He only needed to send a team of envoys to make a round trip. Earning a year's total income comparable to North Korea's treasury, such a good deal, it would be a fool not to do it.
So starting from the Hongwu Year, North Korea began to pay tribute three, four or even five times a year. Once there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster in the country, the king could not control the money and spent too much As long as there was a shortage of money, the tribute would be paid. The mission then set off for the Ming Dynasty, where they ate, drank and packed up. After repeating this process several times, the Ming Dynasty court also expressed its sorrow and wanted to write a letter of credence to North Korea and ask the poor neighbors to be merciful. After all, the landlords The family doesn't have much food left, but because of the reputation of the suzerain country, there is no shame in handing out this letter of credence.
It can be seen from this that the shameless tradition of Bangzi Country has a long history, and it was definitely not developed overnight. Later generations can boast that the universe is their own creation, which has attracted the anger and scolding of countless citizens. In fact, they already had this kind of virtue five hundred years ago. .
Prince Zhiren rudely used North Korea as a negative example, which made Qin Kan feel quite embarrassed.
Holding the tea steadily in his hand, he glanced at Prince Zhiren with a very unkind look.
A country that cannot afford funeral money even after the emperor dies. Instead of focusing on making money to improve life, its eyes are fixed on North Korea. No matter how unbearable North Korea is, it has been licked by the country for more than a hundred years, regardless of its qualifications or qualifications. The postures are all very pleasant. Can your little Japan compare to this?
"North Korea is North Korea, and Japan is Japan. It has its own opinions on how to treat the suzerain country. If your Japanese mission is not convinced, you can leave the capital now and sail eastward to return home. We, the Ming Dynasty, will not force it!"
Qin Kan, who was embarrassed and annoyed, gradually hardened his attitude and his tone became even more rude.
Hearing this, Prince Zhiren clenched his fists again and raised his head suddenly, only to see Qin Kan staring at him with a half-smile, his eyes filled with coldness.
The anger on Prince Zhiren's face receded quickly like a tide, and he finally returned to reality. The reality is that this is the Ming Dynasty, and the rules of the game are decided by the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to participate in this game, he must bite the bullet and abide by it. , no matter how unfair the rules are, we can only accept our fate.
Today¡¯s Japan is too backward, especially the Japanese royal family, which has no qualifications to challenge the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me. I was rude just now!" Prince Zhiren admitted his mistake very simply and with a very humble attitude.
Qin Kan knew very well what kind of ambition was hidden under this humble exterior.
"Firearms, swords and weapons, loans I can't give these to you!" Qin Kan waved his hand heavily and pushed Prince Zhiren into the abyss.
After a moment of pause, Qin Kan pulled him up from the abyss with one sentence: "However if this matter can be changed expediently, it is not impossible"
Prince Zhiren's eyes suddenly shone with surprise. Qin Kan's indifferent attitude towards their Japanese mission in the past few days made Prince Zhiren gradually despair of Qin Kan. If the Ming Emperor's most trusted minister became hostile to Japan, this time The tribute trip to the Ming Dynasty obviously could only end in failure. Unexpectedly, things would develop in twists and turns. As soon as Qin Kan paused and took a breath, Prince Zhiren wandered back and forth between hope and despair, and he wanted to die
"If your Excellency the Duke has any suggestions, please feel free to state them clearly. I am deeply grateful!"Qin Kan knelt down and bowed to the ground.
Qin Kan blinked, and suddenly, an idea gradually took shape in his mind. Of course, according to convention, this idea must not be very kind.
"In the Battle of Nagasaki, the eight giant ships of the Ming Dynasty destroyed hundreds of Japanese ships. Do you hate us?" Qin Kan asked coldly.
"Ah? Thisit was the rudeness of the Nagasaki daimyo in Japan. These daimyo did not obey the king's orders and disrespected the royal family. The leader of the Ming Dynasty taught them a lesson on behalf of the Japanese royal family, which is very satisfying." Prince Chihito said without hesitation.
"Are Ming Dynasty's firearms powerful?"
Prince Zhiren was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and his mouth opened in an exaggerated way: "Skuy!"
"If I hadn't seen so many actresses say this in my previous life, Qin Kan wouldn't have understood Prince Zhiren's answer.
"How can I, Daming, trust others with such a powerful firearm? If it were you instead, would you be happy?"
Prince Chihito was speechless and said something that was really rude. If he had such powerful firearms, he would not only have beaten the Japanese daimyo who were jumping up and down on short mules to ashes, but he would also have nothing to say about the suzerain country of Ming Dynasty. We also need to weigh its weight. How could he be willing to share such a sharp firearm with other countries?
"Please, Your Excellency, please think of a way. Japan very much needs the firearms of the Ming Dynasty to revitalize the royal family. Please!"
Qin Kan shook his head and said with deep meaning: "How can the sharp weapon of the country be left aside? Firearms cannot be handed over to the Japanese. This is the principle"
Although Prince Chihito was young, he was not stupid after all. After being confused for a long time, he finally understood the meaning behind Qin Kan's words. He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but when he thought that the previous emperor died and there was no money to bury him, this emperor , that is, his father, who has been the emperor for nine years and still has no money to organize the enthronement ceremony. He almost collected all the valuable belongings of the royal family by sending a return gift to the suzerain. Thinking of these tragic situations, Prince Tomohito couldn't help but feel sad, and his heart was filled with anger. , gritted his teeth hard, and continued to kneel down and bow to the ground.
"His Majesty, Emperor Kashiwahara, the Empress of Japan's imperial family, formally requests the Ming Dynasty to send troops to protect the imperial family and revitalize the orthodoxy of the imperial family. Your Excellency, Ning Guogong, please teach Japan!"
Qin Kan kept his eyebrows still and said lazily: "You said this yourself, I didn't force you"
*************************************************** *********************
Prince Chiren acted quickly. On the next day, he formally submitted a new letter of credence to Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites. In the letter of credence, he respectfully requested the Ming Dynasty to send warships to protect Japan's territorial waters. Due to the endless war in Japan, the princes were rising one after another. The royal family was depressed, and Prince Chiren requested the Ming Dynasty to send 500 soldiers armed with cannons, cannons and other firearms to travel eastward to Japan to guard the Japanese Imperial Palace.
These two requests were obviously unreasonable. Prince Chihito finally figured it out. Anyway, nowadays, the great names in the country are everywhere claiming to be kings and hegemons, and they do not pay attention to the imperial family. The Japanese imperial family has neither power nor money, except for the noble name of the imperial family. There is no benefit in being so poor that there is no benefit. Instead of this, it is better to lead the wolf into the house and invite the army of the Ming Dynasty to revitalize the royal family. Even if the domestic power is controlled by the Ming Dynasty in the future, the royal family will only have to kneel down to the Ming Dynasty. In their own country You can still dominate and dominate, which is much stronger than the current situation
Of course, Prince Chiren still had his own little calculation. When it came to the number of troops he requested, he carefully chose only five hundred. Five hundred Ming soldiers were just right to set foot on Japanese soil. More would cause disaster and less would be useless.
Prince Zhiren, who had a clear idea, was possessed by Wu Sangui at this moment, and finally submitted a letter of credence to the Ming court, which would be called "ten thousand years of national humiliation" in Japan in later generations.
Of course, the submission of Prince Tomohito's credentials did not go smoothly. After all, he was not the only envoy who came with him to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The other two envoys, Hosokawa Sumitomo and Ouchi Takahiro, represented the two largest daimyo forces in the country. When it is extremely pleasurable to be the king and hegemon in the country, I absolutely do not want to see the power of the Ming Dynasty extend to Japan. The most annoying thing is to cut off the horse
So the two envoys were extremely angry after hearing the news, and hurriedly submitted letters of credence to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty to object. Three envoys from one country, and three letters of credence with completely opposite contents, were regarded as a spectacle for a while.
The letter of credence caused an uproar in the court, and the attitudes of the ministers in the court were also different, causing frequent quarrels. When Ning Guogong Qin Kan heard about it, he smiled up to the sky and cursed "Japanese traitor" three times in a row. That night, the Duke's office held a At the banquet, Mr. Qin drank a whole jar of wine and became extremely drunk. The whole family had no idea what happy event had happened to him, and he was so rude.
