Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The most difficult thing here is actually Articles 99 and [-]. One is to abolish the "Fifteen Articles" signed by Satsuma and King Shangning of Ryukyu, and the other is to lease Kyushu Island for [-] years.

Since Daming claims to be a kingdom of the heavens, it is true that the lease is true, and it will be returned at that time.

It's just that the rent is really less.

The annual rent is only one thousand taels. Is this to send off beggars?Those bastards on Kyushu Island pay more than a thousand taels of tax a year, bastard!

So it was not easy for Tokugawa Hidetada to convince himself to sign such a treaty anyway.

The shogunate was also divided into two factions at this time, and they quarreled.

One faction is Chinese, and the other is also Chinese.

It's just that the positions of the two factions are different.

The Chinese of the first faction belong to the traditional aristocrats. These people are traditional Japanese short-haired people, headed by Yamamoto 28.

The second faction is the children born after the crossing, and they are also the Chinese in the true sense-the Chinese mean nobles in Japan, which is different from the Chinese in the Central Plains.

The second faction of Chinese is naturally close to the Central Plains psychologically, and believes that everything in the Celestial Dynasty is beautiful, and the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is like a god who promises everything.

So now neither of these two factions can convince anyone.

The traditional Japanese aristocrats of the first faction feel that these articles betray the Yamato nation, and whoever dares to sign will be a national sinner in the future.

The second faction, the New Chinese, thinks this is normal, and the Kingdom of Heaven will not cheat foreigners.

Tokugawa Hidetada, who is caught in the middle, is the most troublesome.

Both factions are right, but both sides are too subjective.

After thinking for a while, Tokugawa Hidetada simply waved his hand, ordered everyone to shut up, and then said: "Stop arguing, I will go into the palace to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor."

Chapter 348 Let the Emperor Take the Blame (Sudden Gagen)

In fact, no one in the entire shogunate took the nonsense that Tokugawa Hidetada said to discuss with the emperor.

In the fifth year of Yuanhe, that is, the 47th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Gomizuo had given birth to a son and a daughter because his favorite female official was reported to General Tokugawa Hidetada at that time, which caused Hidetada's strong dissatisfaction.

So in the sixth year of Yuanhe, Emperor Gomizuo had to marry Hidetada's daughter Tokugawa Kazuko into the palace.

In the fourth year of Kanei, the Gomizuo Emperor or the Wanu court allowed dozens of monks from Daitoku Temple and Myoshin Temple to wear purple clothes for financial reasons without prior consultation with the shogunate.

However, the shogunate enacted the various birth laws for monks, and the purple imperial edicts of Daitoku Temple and Myoshin Temple in Kyoto were invalid-this made Emperor Gomizuo feel very embarrassed.

In the sixth year of Kanei, that is, this year, the general Tokugawa Iemitsu actually sent his wet nurse Kasuga bureau to meet the emperor. Since the Kasuga bureau had no officials and no positions, he went to meet Emperor Gomizuo, which was considered a great shame by Emperor Gomizuo. I feel that the shogunate did not take his authority seriously. ,

This is because Kasuga Bureau's sworn brother is Sanjo Nishijo, the court official, and Kasuga Bureau's father is Saito Toshizo, a subordinate of Akechi Mitsuhide, and his ex-husband is daimyo Inaba Masashige. official position.

The shogunate did not pay attention to the face of the "emperor of all ages" after drawing left and right, but now Tokugawa Hidetada said that he would meet with the emperor to discuss it?

It's just that Tokugawa Hidetada actually went to the palace to discuss with Emperor Mizuo!

After meeting Emperor Gomizuo, Tokugawa Hidetada respectfully bowed down and said, "I don't know what's going on, please show me, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Emperor Gomizuo's face twitched.

Tokugawa Hidetada made it clear that he was going to throw the trouble on himself.

It doesn't really matter whether you agree or disagree, the important thing is whether Tokugawa Hidetada will agree.

But this word must be signed by yourself, or this treaty must be announced in your own name.

In short, the blame must be his own.

Thinking about the Ziyi incident and the Kasuga Bureau incident, Emperor Gomizuo really wanted to kill these bastards of the Tokugawa family with one knife!

However, Emperor Gomizuo finally endured this tone-Shinichi cut Tokugawa Hidetada with a sword, and the consequence is likely to be the decision of the emperor's lineage of the Wanshi line.

After the egg hurt for a long time, Emperor Gomizuo said, "Then, what does the General mean?"

Tokugawa Hidetada had already decided to sign this treaty when he was on the road.

Looking at those white-skinned pigs, they are not pleasing to the eye, but they are not as pleasing to the eye as they are in the Kingdom of Heaven.

At the very least, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's inability to suppress the fortune of the Tokugawa family later had a lot to do with his becoming a dog in North Korea.

In this way, the Tokugawa family has taken over Daming's light.

What's more, Tokugawa Hidetada feels that Japan's current political system should have been changed a long time ago.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was unable to suppress the rise of the Tokugawa family, but what if the Tokugawa family also began to decline in the future?

At that time, can we suppress the rise of Hojo, Tojo, Saijo, Nanjo, Maorikou, Kagashi, and Ashikaga?

Tokugawa Hidetada felt that he could not place this hope on his future heirs, no matter how hard he cultivated, he would inevitably produce a prodigal son in the future.

At that time, the fate of the Tokugawa family will be the same as that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which is unacceptable to Tokugawa Hidetada.

As for the system in the world, Tokugawa Hidetada thinks that the system of the Celestial Dynasty is the best.

Why are those white pigs so unpopular?

One is because they are greedy, and the other is because the system of these bastards is not much different from the current Japanese system, and there is nothing worth learning.

The prefecture and county system of the Celestial Dynasty is the most perfect - as long as the emperor becomes a human-shaped jade seal, let his family go forever, and the shogunate will be in power.

In this way, it will no longer be possible to reseal the Kanto. How miserable the Tokugawa family was when the reseal of the Kanto was made, Tokugawa Hidetada felt that he would never forget it until he died.

Now that Emperor Mizuo is cooperating, it means that he is very knowledgeable and interesting, so let's just get the real benefits for himself.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Hidetada bowed: "Hayi, I think this treaty is actually of great benefit to Japan. As for the disadvantages, although there are, they can be ignored."

If you want to play a play, you have to play a full set, otherwise what is it called acting?

Emperor Gomizuo said solemnly: "Please explain carefully, General."

Tokugawa Hidetada spoke again after Hay, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the imperial court's finances have always been tight. It's not that the ministers are unwilling to support them vigorously. It's just that the world is constantly fighting. It’s just the situation, as for collecting more taxes to support the court, the minister is really powerless.”

Ignoring Emperor Gomizuo's face twitching slightly, Tokugawa Hidetada continued: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has allowed me to pay a tribute to Japan every five years, and the ban on trade has been lifted because of this, the imperial court's finances must be sufficient.

Moreover, Daming also allowed me and the people of the country to go to Daming to work, so there is a lot to do in it. As long as the money is not distributed to their personal hands, but settled through the court of the country, it is another fiscal policy. the road. "

Emperor Gomizuo hummed and said: "What the general said is good, but he only talked about the good, so what about the bad?"

Tokugawa Hidetada still said Hay first, and then continued: "Your Majesty, this disadvantage is actually very obvious, and it is nothing more than a matter between Satsuma and the Amami Islands.

However, I believe that the events of the Amami Islands just explain why these disadvantages should not be called disadvantages.
