I am the king of the dead

Izakayas, teahouses, and brothels are actually similar industries, all of which were born to serve the needs of traders in Sakai City Port. The development speed of these industries is completely positively related to the development speed of Daming Maritime Trade.

And these brothels also need to pay taxes, and the object of tax payment is the youth group entrenched in the entire Sakai City Port, which is a very dynamic community organization in the city.

And almost everyone believes that the Qingsi Group is the thug raised by Shan Ye Yuan Gongfang, and all the protection fees collected by the Qingsi Group must be handed over to Yuan Gongfang, and everyone defaults to this tax, because after paying the protection fee, The Youth Group will really be responsible for the stability of the government.

The birth of the Youth Group was completely accidental. When the political environment was bad, many peasant households became bandits. When Yuan Bin took over Sakai City Port, there were bandits inside and outside Sakai City.

These gangs had to be combated to maintain the business environment in Sakai City Port. However, at that time, the Shanye government used many troops and was short of manpower. Chen Fuyin began to recruit all kinds of gangsters and established the Youth Group.

But all thieves with blood on their hands were beheaded, and most of the remaining members of the Qingsi Group, although their combat power was extremely weak, but the Qingsi Group, which was backed by Honmaru Temple to guard the pavilion, became the largest society in the city. Organized, and began to perform tax collection duties.

In short, all activities in Sakai City Port are taxed, and even funerals after death are subject to tax.

In the end, these tax revenues became the surplus of Daming Sakai City Shipping Division and were sent to Daming.

Yuan Bin saw those prostitutes who showed their faces, and behind these prostitutes was a huge and complicated trade chain of human trafficking.

War is a very, very, very expensive human activity, and in order to win, the daimyo and guardians of the Wa country must do their best to seek victory, and Daming has tens of millions of bachelors. In order to solve these marriage problems, the Wa women It becomes a realizable asset.

As long as the various daimyos can send the Japanese women to the port department of Sakai City, they can be shipped to Daming, and the profits will be huge.

And this industry is in charge of the original owner of Sakaijo Port, Katsumoto Hosokawa.

Hosokawa Katsumoto may not be an excellent daimyo, but he is definitely an excellent businessman, and this business is getting bigger and bigger.

Japanese women have become a commodity similar to livestock.

The management in the Wa country can be said to be: Daming has made the best of it, but the bad name card does not touch him.

The association that collects protection fees is the Qingsi Group, an out-and-out Wa countryman, Katsumoto Hosokawa, who organizes businessmen, is even a famous Wa country owner.

All the evils are done by the Japanese themselves.

Yuan Bin finally came to the port of Sakai City Port, and saw the terrified inmates. Before they came to Wa Kingdom by boat, they had been worrying about the hardships of life in the future. bad.

Will these supervisors be grateful for His Majesty's generosity, because the mistakes they made were not serious enough, and they were just exiled to Wa, not Java?

No, they will only use more vicious language to attack His Majesty.

"Isn't the person in charge the horse-faced Yuan Bin, one of His Majesty's black and white impermanence? Why is he in the Japanese country, and he seems to be a nobleman of the Japanese country?" A supervisor saw Yuan Bin's figure and said with a frown.

Another prison student said very firmly: "It seems to be him. I saw it from a distance before. There is a long slanted scar on his face. It is him!"

Some courtiers in the Fengtian Palace knew about Yuan Bin's activities in the Wa Kingdom, but most of the Ming people didn't know that the Jiansheng was not an official, and they didn't even know that the Shanye Yuan Gongfang who was conferred that year was conferred in the Wa Kingdom.

"Students." Yuan Bin clapped his hands, motioning for everyone to quiet down, but most of the students were still extremely noisy.

"Quiet!" Yuan Bin yelled sharply, and the scene instantly settled down. This angry roar made the calves of these inmates spin around. It was so vicious, and the roar was soul-stirring.

Only then was Yuan Bin satisfied, and he looked around and said, "I am Yuan Bin, the Commander of the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Bin, the Duke of Shan Ye, who was canonized by His Majesty, is the one you have heard of, who ran 81 miles to catch Xining. The Yuan Bin who chased the horse to death."

Yuan Bin's achievements in these years are not limited to this, but this matter has been widely disseminated, because people ran to death, it became an interesting thing, and it was talked about in the streets and alleys.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Yuan Bin continued: "When you arrive in Wa Kingdom, it's not a barren and barren land. At least I'm still here. If you need help, you can ask Daming Sakai City Port City Shipping Department for help. That's the territory of Daming. If you encounter difficulties, you can also report to the Dian Shou Pavilion guards in the inner city, and they will pass it on to me."

"Was Commander Yuan also exiled here?" A rather courageous supervisor asked loudly.

Yuan Bin shook his head and said, "I, Shanye Gongfang Yousi, Shibosi and other officials are different from you. We were sent to Japan on business, and you were exiled. We can go back anytime, but you can't."

"We are different."

"I only have three requirements for you. The first point is that no matter what you do, you must first think that you are from Daming and put Da Ming's interests first; the second point is to remember your status in exile and don't try to escape back to Daming , this will bring misfortune to your family; the third point is also the most important point, once the remnants of the Confucian government interfere with the Japanese silver entering the Ming Dynasty, I will kill him myself."

"I do what I say."

Yuan Bin and the supervisors made a three-pronged agreement, the third being the most important prohibition that cannot be violated, and those who cause trouble will be killed without mercy.

"Also, let me remind you all, don't listen to any Japanese people. It's really not safe to leave the range of Sakai City." Yuan Bin gave them a kind reminder not to be too concerned about the world outside Sakai City curious.

It was a purgatory on earth, and the supervisors who were born and raised in Daming couldn't imagine how terrifying it was outside Sakai City.

Moreover, if these vicious scholars cooperate with the big names from all over the world to make trouble and interfere with the Japanese silver entering the Ming Dynasty, it will be heinous.

"Send them to the official residence." Yuan Bin waved his hand and started to let them go.

On the way to the official building, all the supervisors went there by horse-drawn carriage instead of walking. place of pleasure.

Some people are still weeping and worrying about their future life, and some people have already smelled business opportunities. Is this a barren land? You can even make a fortune here!

Li Bing asked curiously: "If you don't let these people leave Sakai City, aren't you afraid that they will gossip about your country? They are not stable."

Yuan Bin smiled and said: "If life is stable, you have food and clothing, a wife and children, and someone calls you to rebel, you will only think that the other person is sick. On the contrary, you will definitely follow along with the call for rebellion, because people live, first of all To fill your stomach."

"The city of Sakai is the richest place in the entire Wa Kingdom. Even if these people are in the middle of the crowd, it is difficult to achieve great things."

"Besides, I, Yuan Bin, have the final say on whether the Japanese kingdom is in chaos or not!"

Chapter 819 Either Don't Kneel, Or Kneel To The End

Is Yuan Bin's words arrogant?

In fact, no, because on the ground of Japan, Yuan Bin really has the final say on whether this place is chaotic or not.

Has Yuan Bin lost his obedience?No, because this is the main purpose of His Majesty's canonization of Yuan Bin as Shanye Gongfang.

A Wa country controlled by the people of Ming is more in the interests of Ming.

Yuan Bin silently watched the group of scholars heading towards the official building, shook his head and said, "Let's get ready to meet the Emperor of Japan again."

The actual rulers of the Wa Kingdom were daimyos and guardians from all over the country; in the official documents, the ruler was the Muromachi Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom, the Great General Ashikaga Yoshimasa who conquered barbarians; but the supreme ruler in name was the Emperor Back Garden.

Among the documents of the Wa Kingdom, the two Chinese characters of "Tianzi" are used to call the Emperor. It is obvious that the wolf ambition of the Wa Daihua is exposed. king.

It was after the subjugation of the Southern Song Dynasty that the Wa Kingdom was renamed the Son of Heaven.

The reason why the situation in the Wa Kingdom is so complicated is because of the traditional art skills and historical origins of the Wa Kingdom.

Yuan Bin has been active in Japan for so many years, and he has long been familiar with it.

After a lot of communication, the current Emperor of the Wa Kingdom finally decided to come to Sakai City to meet Yuan Bin, who had been identified as a Daming native.

This meeting is of great significance, because in the past dynasties, during the canonization of the Wa Kingdom by the Central Plains Dynasty, the emperor of the Wa Kingdom has never appeared in front of the envoys, and the regent Guanbai or the shogunate have always come forward.

And this negotiation has been in preparation for a long time.

The main reason for this meeting is that the political environment of the Wa Kingdom has been completely corrupted. The guardian daimyos are transforming into Warring States daimyos. There was a majestic wind force, that is, the wave of falling curtain, and the wind of falling curtain is getting stronger and stronger.

Everyone in the Wa Kingdom desperately hoped that the Wa Kingdom would return to its original appearance, and there was even a force that respected the emperor and begged for traitors, pushing the Emperor of the Back Garden to come forward to govern.

But this time, the Zunhuang faction pushed the emperor to go out of Kyoto and come to the Shouge of Honmaru Palace in Sakai City to meet with Mr. Yamano Yuan.

The demands of Emperor Hikohito of the Back Garden are:

I hope that Yamano Yuan Gongfang will completely replace the Muromachi Shogunate and become the official ruler of the Wa Kingdom, so that the Wa Kingdom can restore political stability and give everyone a chance to breathe;

It is hoped that Shanye Gongfang can send troops to pacify dissatisfied landlords from all sides, wipe out those famous landlords who caused a civil uprising, put an end to the chaos and clean up the world, restore the peaceful world of Japan, and let the light of the sun and the moon shine everywhere at home and abroad;

I hope to become brothers with Yuan Bin. In this way, Yuan Bin's son can be taken over by Emperor Hikoren of the Back Garden to succeed him, and then after the death of the Emperor of the Back Garden, he can succeed to the position of Emperor.

Youzi, literally means the son of a brother, that is, a nephew or a niece. The reason why it is not called this is because "The Analects of Confucius Advanced" says: "Hui also regards the father of Jude, and I cannot treat the son of Jude."

Youzi, which is equivalent to his own son, has the meaning of heir in the country of Wa.

In short, this time the Emperor of the Back Garden rarely came out to participate in politics, and the event of meeting with the biggest power lord on the ground of the Wa country aroused the eager attention of all parties.

"What is Ashikaga Yoshimasa doing?" Li Bing said with a solemn expression. It was a life-and-death meeting involving the Muromachi shogunate. The general of the Muromachi shogunate should respond.

Yuan Bin said with a complex expression: "Ashikaga Yoshimasa was so addicted to saru music and banquets that he couldn't help himself, and he left all the state affairs to Ise Sadakin and Ji Qiong Zhenrui to hear."

"Ise Zhenqin and Ji Qiong Zhenrui are also interesting. After you sang, I went on stage, and it was a good show. The famous people from all over the world were very dissatisfied with Ise Zhenqin, and Yise Zhenqin just went downhill. Replaced with Ji Qiong Zhenrui as the deacon of the government office."

"As a result, Ji Qiong Zhenrui has been working for more than a month, and there are more objections. This Ise Zhenqin has become the deacon of the government again."

Li Bing pondered for a long time and said, "Is it possible that Ashikaga Yoshimasa deliberately showed his ugliness to numb our vigilance towards him, and then hid in the dark to bite us?"

"If it were someone else, I might think so, but with Ashikaga Yoshimasa, that's really not possible." Yuan Bin's complexion became more complicated.

On the battlefield, underestimating the opponent is a big taboo for military strategists, and it is a mistake that anyone who leads troops in battle must avoid. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, this is a truth that even His Majesty understands.

Yuan Bin also didn't want to underestimate Ashikaga Yoshimasa, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa despises himself, and now the situation in Japan has reached the point where the emperor is out of the palace to meet Yuan Bin in Sakai City, instead of Yuan Bin going to Luo, this Ashikaga Yoshimasa is still there While having fun, he was still playing the trick of changing the "government office deacon" in the court.

The main energy of Ashikaga Yoshimasa is still manipulating power, which is too similar to Emperor Jianwen.

In the fourth year of Jianwen, Xu Huizu defeated Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in Qimeishan, and beheaded Li Bin. As a result, it was rumored in the capital of Nanya that the Yan army had retreated, and Emperor Jianwen recalled Xu Huizu.

It eventually led to the battle of Lingbi, Jianwen Lord was defeated, Yan Wang's army went south to enter the capital, Yan Wang became the emperor, and became the only successful case of a vassal rebellion in all dynasties.

Why did Jian Wenjun recall Xu Huizu?In the final analysis, it was still the civil servants in the court who were worried about the political manipulation of Wu Xun leading the troops outside and having too much power.

During the war, if you are still obsessed with political struggles, the war will inevitably fail.

"Isn't it possible that you are trying your best?" Li Bing was still a little worried.

"Even if he is trying his best, as long as we don't neglect our defenses, we will be fine." Yue Qian said, "If you can't get it on the battlefield, everything you do will be futile."

Yue Qian experienced all the games in the battle of the capital, and also failed in the battle of the capital first, which led to having to return the Supreme Emperor Jili King back to the capital.

The outcome of the battlefield determines the distribution of benefits.

King Yan's ascension to the throne was not achieved by King Yan pretending to be crazy in the Yan Mansion. It was King Yan who defeated Lord Jianwen's army time and time again, and finally won the throne.

"That's true. Let's get ready to meet the emperor of the back garden." Li Bing nodded in agreement with Yue Qian's words. This is the Wa country, a purgatory on earth, where hordes of warlords swarm. Here, big fists are the biggest reason.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was getting dark, Yuan Bin changed into the python suit given by His Majesty, and sat in the Palace Guard Pavilion, waiting for the Emperor in the back garden to come to meet him.

And beside him was a question book, on which were written the conditions of Shanye Gongfang.

This is the second time Yuan Bin has met Emperor Yanren of the Back Garden. The last time was when Yuan Bin went to Kyoto to find a souvenir for His Majesty, and took away the second of the three artifacts from the imperial palace of the Japanese kingdom. When mourning, things become more important.

This is the second meeting now.

Then Emperor Yanren of the Back Garden followed Ji Duo step by step to the Honmaru, looking at the densely-covered arrow towers, thinking about how Yuan Bin captured this indestructible Honmaru in the first place overnight.

Compared with the dilapidated state of the imperial city of Kyoto, the shrine pavilion of Honmaru in Sakai Castle is resplendent.

Hikohito walked up the steps step by step, stood in front of the door and thought for a long time. He had persuaded Ashikaga Yoshimasa to take state affairs seriously, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa not only did not listen to his advice, but refused his summons. As a result, the Zunhuang faction decided to try to replace the shogun.

Many daimyos got the news that he, the emperor, was coming to Sakai Castle, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa disappointed again, and Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not do anything to stop him.

Before coming to Sakai Castle, Hikohito still had the last illusion about Ashikaga Yoshimasa. At least the survival of the Muromachi Shogunate should be very important to Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

But obviously, Ashikaga Yoshimasa did not take any countermeasures.

After thinking about what he was here for, Yan Ren stepped into the gate of Dian Shou Pavilion.

"Yuan Gongfang is famous for his bravery. Even in the imperial city of Kyoto, there are two people. When we saw each other today, they are really extraordinary." Yanren came to the hall, walked a few steps with a smile on his face, and slapped Yuan Bin. Say hello.

Yuan Bin remained silent, putting aside Yan Ren's enthusiasm.

Because Li Bing was the angel of Ming Dynasty, Yan Ren should first greet the envoy of Ming Dynasty before Yuan Bin spoke.

Yuan Bin actually knew what Yan Ren was thinking. Yan Ren didn't greet the Da Ming Angel because he wanted to ignore Yuan Bin's status as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and then negotiated with Shan Ye Yuan Gongfang under the framework of the Wa Kingdom, and locked the two parties in the negotiation as the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom. Negotiations between the princes maintained the previous political system of the Wa Kingdom, and the shogunate regency maintained a trace of decency.

But Yuan Bin just didn't show him face, and he insisted on waiting until Yan Ren greeted the envoy of Ming Dynasty before speaking.

There was silence in the Dian Shou Pavilion for a while, but as soon as they met, Shanye Yuan Gongfang had already started to put pressure on him.

At this moment, Yan Ren wanted to rush out of the door. The emperor sect behind him didn't know what kind of evil spirit he was going to face.

"I've seen the envoy of Ming Dynasty." Yanren had no choice but to salute Li Bing.

Li Bing raised his head halfway, and looked at Yan Ren silently. At this time, Yan Ren still refused to kneel down. Will not speak.

What's more, this is a king of a vassal state called "Son of Heaven".

Can the word Tianzi be used casually?

In the first year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to North Korea to confer the title of King of Korea. Li Hongwei, the heir of the Joseon King, refused to kneel down to meet the angel, because North Korea felt that Daming was in the orthodox 14th year, and he was beaten by tiles. of deterrence.

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty left the meeting angrily, and returned to the Ming Dynasty with the canonized edict. Then there was a dispute between the envoys of the Joseon Dynasty and Hu Wei, Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, over the annotations of the feudal rites in the Fengtian Hall.

And "Fan Guoyi Notes" was edited by Hu Wei himself, and Hu Shangshu couldn't be more clear about the terms and conditions in it.

What happened to Prince Li Hongwei?Because of the delay in obtaining the canonization of Ming Dynasty, the situation inside and outside the court was unstable, so Li Yu, the fourth uncle of Shouyang Maharaja and Wang Shizi, took his place.

This seems to be arguing for courtesy, but in fact it is for profit.

It was the Zunhuang faction who led Yanren to the palace guarding the pavilion to discuss matters. This was a game of interests at the beginning. In this regard, it is absolutely impossible for Li Bing to give in.

While Yanren was still hesitating, Li Bing stood up suddenly, ready to leave, and seeing Li Bing stand up, Yuan Bin also stood up.

Since you are unwilling to let go of your face, then don't talk about it.

The pressure once again came to Yanren's side. Yanren had no choice but tossed his sleeves quickly, knelt down slowly, and shouted loudly: "Yanren, the head of Wende Academy after the Japanese Kingdom, greeted the envoy of Ming Dynasty, long live your majesty, long live, long live age."

Yan Ren's kneeling ceremony was not to kneel down to envoys, but to kneel down to the Ming emperor, which was also the rule in Fan Guoyi Notes.
