Chapter 826 If the banquet is not listed, the tripod is a sacrifice.
Wang Chonggu once planned to teach people how to be an official in his book "On the Self-cultivation of the Five-Step Snake". He was afraid that someone would be bored when he saw a long and magnificent treatise, so he summarized four sentences.
Two sentences are: keep sympathy and attention to the group; keep vigilant and distance from the individual;
A similar description, Your Majesty once said that all people have the power to change the world, but they never know how to release and use this power. The limitation of the peasant movement is that it is difficult to gradually correct their mistakes in the movement, but go further and further in the mistakes.
Once scholars participate in the movement, the limitations will be gradually corrected during the movement, such as Zhu Yuanzhang got Li Shanchang and Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.
The reason for this phenomenon is also very simple.
Generally speaking, most people will not judge the advantages and disadvantages of society and systems from the perspectives of system, structure, concept, spirit, and human nature, but start from their daily life, or from the stomach, not the brain.
Due to the huge gap between the economic and social development between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, the Japanese saw the Ming Dynasty and wanted to become the Ming Dynasty. They did not learn the third-part human appearance, and the seventh-part animal nature was deeply rooted. The most important thing in animal nature was to admire the strong, and whoever was strong would follow.
Due to the geographical reasons of Japan, narrow, extremely small, frequent natural disasters, etc., the Japanese are full of natural yearning for vast territory with vast, extremely large, and less frequent natural disasters.
This natural yearning reflects the reality of Japan, which is that the Japanese literati deliberately created a concept that there was no Chinese after Yashan, which was the "incoming the Tang Dynasty and replacing it" style from Oda Nobunaga to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and even called the Ming Dynasty the Tang Dynasty, believing that the Ming Dynasty was not a formalism, deceiving itself and the people, and shaping the rationality of entering the Tang Dynasty.
The invasion of North Korea occurred. When the Korean royal family was flattened in a month, Japan's ambitions from top to bottom began to expand. Two years later, they were completely driven out of the sea by the Ming army. The reason why it was so slow was because of the implementation of the Ming court's goal of eliminating the young and middle-aged Japanese people.
In the entire Korean War, Japanese pirates who entered North Korea fled, captured, and died more than 80,000 warriors, and even several daimyos died on the Korean battlefield.
At this time, the story of the Tang Dynasty replaced it naturally could not be told. From the uneasyness of the invaders, to the joy of winning by chance, to the confusion after the defeat, this huge gap eventually led to the current situation in Japan.
The tearing of opposition has risen to the point where Japan eliminates Japan.
The Ming Dynasty Honglu Temple, Gao Qiyu, took a boat to the Osaka Bay Governor's garrison, which is stationed in the heart of Japan. This place is called Sakai City, which is the junction of the three countries of the Setsu Kingdom, Hanoi Kingdom and Izumi Kingdom. Many merchants gathered here and gradually became the maritime gateway to Kyoto, Japan.
Because at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, it has been highly autonomous for a long time and everyone wants to take care of it, but no one can do anything to others. Since Oda Nobunaga took over this place, the highly autonomous environment has ended, and the merchants in Sakai City began to move to Osaka to live and gradually declined.
Since the establishment of the Osaka Bay Governing House here, the port has become busy again, and the crowds have gathered again, gradually regaining vitality.
In the early morning, Sakai City Port was shrouded in the salty sea fog, and the dragon flag was clattering on the mast of the fast sailing boat Dragon.
The Youlong is His Majesty's envoy. When the Celestial Envoy went to the vassal state, he would definitely ride on this giant ship, covering the sails of the entire ship, slowly descending, and the barge was dragging it, slowly entering the port with the sound of the trumpet.
In theory, Japan is still one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and Oda Nobunaga was the king of the Japanese state enthroned by the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Qiyu held his pocket watch that was nearly the size of a palm and looked at the time. It was just six o'clock in the morning. The warm current of the Pacific Ocean and the cold current below the north formed a rich sea fog at the intersection of the Seto Inland Sea, but the dock was covered with coolies like ants.
The smoke of the Korean battlefield has not yet dissipated, and Sakai City Port has also become a microcosm of the drastic changes in Japan: the shogunate Anzai ships and the huge Ming ships of the Ming Dynasty are mooring together, forming a sharp contrast. The interweaving of the sword light of the samurai and the hot and cold of the muskets is changing every corner and every aspect of Japan.
Gao Qiyu saw a group of Japanese women who welcomed angels to come. Their kimono hems were mixed with the Ming Dynasty collar and skirt, and they looked particularly twisted, just like the attitude of the shogunate.
On the one hand, Oda Nobunaga issued a stalemate order to resist to the end, and on the other hand, he celebrated and welcomed the arrival of the angel of the Ming Dynasty.
These Japanese women's cheeks were red with cold, but they still jumped with their hands, revealing their festive faces. In this weather, they were dressed so thinly that a cold might take away their lives that no one cares about.
Gao Qiyu stood at the bow of the boat and tightened the cloak on his body. This was the New Year gift from His Majesty during the New Year. The officials of the Ming Dynasty, each with one piece, and the patterns were different. Gao Qiyu's piece was a cloud and geese pattern, flying in an orderly manner, spring goes and autumn comes, and the order of the emperor's four seasons.
The Great Honglu stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the Japanese women trembling with cold but still wanting to welcome them, and suddenly remembered a question discussed by the Confucian scholars in the capital: Will you definitely be beaten if you fall behind?
This question was raised by Li Zhi during a gathering. Li Zhi said it was asked by Huang Zhongxing, Mr. Huang, which caused a lot of discussion. There were more than 8,000 articles in the miscellaneous newspapers, which were discussed in various aspects such as morality, politics, military strength, etc.
Traditional scholars and officials always narrate morally. If they want to argue, they may not be beaten when they fall behind. However, a group of scholars and officials led by Li Zhi firmly argue that they may be beaten when they fall behind.
Gao Qiyu's mouth twitched and he whispered: "Your Majesty said: The Age of Discovery has arrived, and the Global Trade Network is being established. In future international relations, if you don't sit on the dining table, you will appear on the menu. The reason why it has not appeared on the menu is just because the diners on the table have not ordered this dish."
This menu theory first appeared in the tenth year of Wanli. When Wanshihe was discussing the maritime trade, the original words of the memorial was:
[The sea sails began, and the business networks from all directions gradually formed; the world is connected, and the nations compete with each other, either for knives or sabres, or for fish and meat. It is like planning a banquet; if the banquet is not listed, then the tripod is offered; if the bed is not settled overnight, it is not enough for the chef to take a meal, and it is not necessary for the guests to take a meal. In this world, people are either eaten or eaten, but those who sit in a high seat will be given the title. ]
If the banquet is not listed, the tripod is a offering, which means that you are not sitting on the table, and you are cooking in the pot.
Oda City immediately said loudly: "Yi said: One yin and one yang are called Tao. How can there be simple confrontation and no cooperation? Mencius also said: Use small things to be big and wisdom, and use big things to be small and benevolent. Han Guowu is five baits and three forms of Nanyue, and Nanyue surrenders; "Laozi" also said: Small countries below large countries take small countries, and the Ming Dynasty built a tribute trade for a country that was not conquered during the Hongwu period."
"This is not in line with the etiquette and laws of the Ming Dynasty and the laws of the ancestors! It is not like this, it is definitely not like this."
Oda City was obviously very proficient in Confucianism. After the Ming Dynasty, she did not stop. She quoted classics and combined historical examples to refute the dining table theory. What she said was really reasonable.
Gao Qiyu said nothing and quietly looked at the dock of Sakai City Harbor. The facts are always better than words.
The pier of Sakai City Port is full of coolies. These coolies are shouting horns and carrying goods. The supervisors are slow to whip the whip, and the coolies are whipped and silently, but they speed up their pace.
In addition to the women arranged by the shogunate, there are also some compradors from Japan. These compradors hold beautiful tea girls and tiptoe to see the details of the Ming ships. They are also excited to tell the people around them, as if they are talking loudly that their choice is not wrong;
The authority of the shogunate is gradually collapsed and deconstructed by Ming commodities and treasure banknotes. The dragon flag of the Ming group pierces the sky above the Thousand Houses and the shadows are just shrouded in the faded home-patterned flag of the Antu Shogunate;
The plight of the samurai class was exposed in the noise of the port and dock. They had no weapons anymore. They should have pawned the ancestral ribs (short knife) and Taidao (long knife) to the merchants. The samurai uniforms on their bodies were already ruined, far less gorgeous than the merchants' clothing. The home pattern embroidery and moon-draft hair bun on the lining of these down-and-out samurai warriors were their last stubbornness;
"That's the Pure Land scholar. You don't know about the Pure Land scholar. After all, when you left, there was no such evil spirits that were rampant. The people of Ming Dynasty didn't know what happened in Japan. Do you know? You don't know either." Gao Qiyu looked at the most special group of people at the pier.
These Japanese were the Pure Land believers. They waved their own embroidered dragon flag to welcome the arrival of the Ming Dynasty. The embroidery worker was very poor, obviously embroidered by the dragon flag hanging by the thousand households of the garrison. When it was so cold, they exposed their feet, and the ankles were pierced, which was hard to see clearly from afar, but Gao Qiyu had heard of it more than once, and it was the word Ming.
Apart from the people waving the flag, the remaining believers knelt on the ground devoutly, kneeled down with prostrate themselves, and welcomed the arrival of the Angel of the Ming Dynasty.
"I... don't know what the Jile Church is doing." Oda City suddenly realized, and she finally admitted that she had left Japan for too long, that Japan was so familiar and so strange.
Gao Qiyu smiled and said with a smile: "In fact, the miscellaneous newspapers have reported the various illegalities of the Pure Land Sect many times. The Ming Dynasty has designated it as an evil spirit. It was a year ago. Governor Shen Shixing Shen drove all these sects to Nanyang on the grounds of not being pious enough." "Look, you don't actually care about Japan."
This passage seemed ordinary, but it broke through the last psychological defense line of Oda City. She knew very well that she was unwilling to give up and became a Japanese again.
She has become accustomed to everything in the Ming Dynasty, with everything in the prosperous market, a wide range of books in the bookstore, social stability without fear, etc.
Compared with Leyashi's calmness, Oda City seemed a little pretentious. In fact, from physical to psychological, she had already accepted this change, but she just refused to admit it.
Gao Qiyu remembered Wan Shi and Wan Zongbo again. Wan Zongbo once discussed: People who have left their hometown for a long time will inevitably have localization problems.
Entertainment of Leyashi, Shah Maimati, Oda City, etc., has been influenced by local culture as he does, and inevitably becomes a local. His way of thinking about problems is more like a local. "More cruel things are still happening. Xu Wei, the governor of Nagasaki, told me that in Hiroshima and Osaka, a bird gun is equal to a Japanese girl, equal to a farmer's annual salary of ten years, a pound of gunpowder is equal to ten Japanese slaves, a box of opium is equal to three hundred Japanese slaves and five hundred Japanese slaves, and a bottle of Jinji Nagora frost can be exchanged for a thousand Japanese girls." Gao Qiyu's mouth twitched.
The difference between Japanese girls and wandering girls is one is a good family and the other is a prostitute.
Before he went on a mission, he had tried his best to understand the changes in Japan, but when this cruelty came, it still had a huge impact on his deeply rooted traditional moral concept. People were sold at clear prices, and everyone was accustomed to it.
Oda City was a little collapsed. She squatted on the deck, covering her face and crying. At first, there was a sound, but later there was no sound. While the Japanese worshipped, the 33-meter Youlong steadily stopped at the berth. This giant beast on the sea brought great shock to the Japanese.
Not to mention the unsavvy Japanese, Your Majesty participated in the ship reading ceremony in Tianjin. When he first saw the Youlong, he was shocked. Of course, as the emperor, being happy would make the ministers feel unstable. Your Majesty did not show too much that kind of horror. The Duke of Daming also widened his eyes and was very shocked.
Humans naturally worship giants, and the Ming Dynasty owned eighteen such fast sailing ships.
Oda City finally finished crying, her eyes turned red. She got off the boat and followed the Oda family's samurai to Kyoto. Gao Qiyu became extremely busy. He refused the idea of the Jile Church's request for a meeting. This was a demon that the Ming Dynasty recognized and was absolutely untouchable, but these local compradors in Japan were really too enthusiastic.
They used half-baked Chinese language to flatter them wildly, which made Gao Qiyu get goosebumps all over his body. All kinds of luxurious gifts such as beauties, gold, silver, gems, etc. filled the house where Gao Qiyu stayed.
"If the Great Master Lu doesn't take it, how can we take it in the future? How can our family get it?"
"If our family doesn't take it, Governor Xu and Sun Bing can't take it. No one can take it, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can't take it." Huang Bin, the governor, checked the gifts and divided them into three parts. He saw that Gao Qiyu's moral sense was due to his morality and did not want to accept these bribes.
Gao Qiyu is not a ignorant person. He knows very well that these compradors from Japan are probably for the certification from the Ming Dynasty. If he really doesn't take them, these compradors will not be easy to lobby the daimyos behind them, so that Oda Nobunaga agrees to the peace agreement.
"I will take this small share of the nobles of Guizhong, and Governor Xu and Sun Biaozhi will take this middle share." Gao Qiyu proposed a new distribution plan.
Huang Bin smiled and said, "Hey, the big share of the Great Rites will be returned to the Great Rites, and the middle share will be returned to our house. Our family will bring it back to the palace and the small share will be given to Governor Xu. They do not lack this little filial piety on weekdays, and giving them an attitude."
"Your Majesty warns our family that the emperor is not hungry. It is not that when the country is destroyed, it is a shame to let the army charge in a hungry manner." "The Great Honglu thought to himself that His Majesty's good is. Take it if it should be taken, otherwise who will do such a life-threatening business in the future? The risk of on-the-go missions is extremely high, such as celestial phenomena, plagues, injuries, etc.."
The scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty were a class of pampered meat eaters, and were the second only to the hereditary officials.
There is no wind and three feet of waves on the sea. Gao Qiyu has been on a mission to Thailand once, but this time he still vomits and is so confused that he can't sleep well all day long. If he encounters strong wind and waves, plagues on the ship, or harassing the barbarians, this is all dangerous.
On a mission is a desperate job. If you want to do your job sincerely in the future, you will really take these benefits and the emperor will not see them.
"I don't want these Japanese girls. I'll take them back to the Ming Dynasty and send them to the Lu Wang Mansion. I'm mainly concerned about safety. I still have to take into account the dangers around the pillow." Gao Qiyu finally refused part of the bribe for safety.
The Japanese girls here are all carefully selected good families, and some are even daughters of daimyos and the daughters of Kyoto’s nobles. Sending them to King Lu is the safest choice. King Lu lives very freely and does whatever he wants. He is not bound by feudal etiquette and law at all, and no one from the court officials will impeach and criticize.
Because Prince Lu’s biological brother is the emperor.
These Japanese brokerage and compradors are not simple, at least they are all famous names that govern the country.
The situation in Japan today is by no means the fault of Oda Nobunaga alone, but the choice of most people in Japan.
"The rice price has risen recently. It is these compradors of Japan who bet on the bet that Japan can defeat in North Korea, and they are confused about the loss, and then raise the price of rice and grain, so that the Japanese can bear the loss."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar! "What is most unacceptable is that these compradors were still exporting rice and grain when the supply of Inter Inter rice was tight, in exchange for enough treasure money to offset the losses." Li Chengli rushed to Sakai City Port and understood why the rice price was so high.
This is also the final fact that the coastal defense inspectors collected information from multiple parties and confirmed.
The compradors lost money and asked everyone in Japan to bear it together. When they made money, they would not give a penny to these Japanese.
After the Korean War began, there was a gambling plate at the Nagasaki Governor's Office. The merchants from Fujian were on the banker, and there were many gambling contents. In the final result of the Korean War, the merchants of Ming and Japanese merchants both placed heavy bets on this gambling plate, and even some people were trying to win.
Since the great victory in Busan spread all over the world, Japanese merchants have lost a lot of money.
At the time of delivery, the merchants and the servants they brought even broke out. If the soldiers from the Nagasaki Governor's Office had not been sent to suppress the situation, there would have been a big mess.
Water is short of food, and the compradors not only do not try to find food, but instead try to sell the already small amount of food in exchange for treasure money, use the treasure money to recover the losses from the poor man's hard work.
If this kind of comprador is in the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely lead his troops to the door and tell them that the Ming Dynasty only has one sky, and that is His Majesty!
"Wait a minute, no wonder these powers have been submitting memorials to petition for donations. Your Majesty refuses, and they keep urging them. Are you waiting for your feelings here?!" Gao Qiyu suddenly realized that he thought about these powers too well.
Li Chengli thought about it and shook the number one rope, "It's not entirely for winning money, but most of it is for revenge. There are many rich children from the Thousand Households. They came to Japan from thousands of miles away, either to win something or to avenge."
"There are 330 soldiers in one thousand and five hundred fangs, all of whom are rich and powerful, and they are rich and powerful."
Li Chengli believed that Gao Qiyu was too arbitrary. His statement did not conform to the basic idea of the contradiction. He simplified things. Winning money is to win money, and revenge is to avenge. The proportion of 330 disciples of the Thousand and Thousands of the Thousand and Thousands of the Thousand and Thousand disciples is to have a great success. Some of these people have a way out, and they join the army to come to Japan to harm the Japanese.
It would be great if you can win money while taking revenge.
"What you said makes sense." Gao Qiyu frowned slightly, then stretched out, agreeing with Li Chengli's statement.
Huang Bin took out one chess piece after another and put it out one by one and said, "Our family found that the poor man in Japan did not want to fight, and the rice price would be three highs a day when fighting; the Japanese football team and samurai did not want to fight, and now they all know that the Ming Dynasty's firearms were extremely powerful, and without armor, they would die; "
"The Japanese merchants don't want to fight. In this war, the business route was cut off and the goods were hoarded. How could the goods be quickly circulated and earned? If the goods were not transferred, they could not make money; the Japanese big ones were big. The names of the people actually didn't want to fight. Anyway, the final result of these gold, silver, copper and iron mines was also sent to the Nagasaki Governor's Office for exchange for the Daming Baobao. "
"So, the main resistance to peace talks was Oda Nobunaga's wishful thinking."
The various daimyos seemed to agree with Oda Nobunaga's order of defending, but they sent various compradors to welcome the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, which looked a bit weird. These daimyos did not really agree with the Daming order and resisted to the end, but they were afraid of Oda Nobunaga's authority and could only agree with it.
Most of the time, it is normal to look at what people do, not what they say.
The Damings suffered huge losses on the Korean battlefield and they no longer wanted to continue fighting.
Gao Qiyu took a deep breath and said, "I tried to convince Oda City to let Oda City lobby Oda Nobunaga. If Oda City refuses, then fight until he surrenders."
"Da Honglu, it's okay for Oda Nobunaga to disagree. We can contact other daimyos and send troops to his mines. As for Oda Nobunaga's agreement or not, it's his own business. Just reach a consensus with us, right?" Huang Bin turned his body sideways and said with a smile, "Things can be adapted."
"Water is not our Ming Dynasty. Japan is a separatist daimyo, and it's not an incident. I've all heard of him, Oda Nobunaga."
Huang Bin advised Gao Qiyu to accept gifts from merchants from the beginning, but the purpose was actually this. He first talked to Oda Nobunaga. If he disagreed, he would directly talk to the daimyos. Whoever agreed would naturally not be attacked by the Ming army and the navy. If he was shameless, the Daming firearm would be a bad thing.
Divide and transform it, and defeat each one.
Gao Qiyu is becoming more and more like His Majesty, and there are still many ways to do this, so he hurriedly rushed to lift the table. After a circle, he could also achieve the result that the Ming Dynasty wanted. "It's reasonable!" Gao Qiyu and Li Chengli's eyes lit up. They were obviously the Ming people's thinking and diplomatic affairs were decided by His Majesty, but the framework of Japan was essentially different from that of the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Qiyu and Li Chengli were also dominated by the Ming Dynasty's collective consciousness. When thinking about problems, they did not fully consider the situation.
Amid the chaos in Japan, a new power network is quietly forming.
Fujian merchants are bold and ruthless, and their main business is Japanese slaves and Japanese girls; while Zhejiang merchants are better at calculating. They fiddled with abacus and planned to empty every Japanese with compound interest, and then sold them to Fujian merchants; Ningbo merchants set up gold banks in Japan, helped the Japanese save gold and silver and other goods, and issued gold and silver notes to exchange them at the Nagasaki Governor's Office;
The famous Japanese men used merchants to manipulate prices to make huge profits, and the Pure Land believers quickly gave up all their relationships that they could give up, and were determined to set foot on the other side of the Ming Dynasty; the wandering girls in the veranda secretly placed the silver, gold and treasure notes paid by their guests in the gold bank of the Ningbo veranda, and regarded the saved silver as the only hope to escape from the veranda.
This is actually a heart-breaking transformation, and it is the last remnant of the shogunate. If Japan can survive the sudden change, it may also usher in a new life and usher in the first dawn of a new era.
Oda City rushed to Kyoto and lived in Honno Temple. It has been newly repaired and the raging fire of the Honno Temple change cannot be seen.
She walked in Honno Temple, a little dazed. What would happen if she hadn't left Japan and Oda Nobunaga was burned to death here? Maybe in order to protect himself, he married a Daming who was loyal to his brother, and then died in the fire of war during the attacks of other Daming.
As Oda Nobunaga's sister, this is probably the most decent way to die. "The general is looking for you." Moriranmaru found Oda City, who was staring blankly by the temple well, and asked Oda City to come in and speak.
Oda Nobunaga still likes to live in Honno Temple. Of course, he has many troops now and will no longer be forced to the end of his journey by thieves like Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Do you come on behalf of yourself or on behalf of the Ming Dynasty?" Nobunaga Oda looked at his sister who bowed to him and asked coldly.
Oda City closed her eyes for a moment before speaking, "I'll represent myself. The Ming Dynasty is a country of the Celestial Empire and has no intention of making things difficult for me, a woman. I'm sending me here this time, probably to find someone who is familiar with my brother."
"I did my best, but after the Ming Dynasty's Battle of Seoul in Incheon, I no longer communicated. I couldn't see the officials of the Ministry of Rites."
"No, in fact, you came on behalf of the Ming Dynasty." Oda Nobunaga suddenly laughed. He said, "Sit down, don't be restrained. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent you back. It doesn't matter what you say. As long as I see you, I will understand what the emperor means."
"You haven't grown old, which proves that you live a good life in the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty is the country of the Celestial Empire. You keep your word and have the spirit of a great country."
"Is it threatening my brother to make unwise decisions?" Oda City asked anxiously.
Nobunaga Oda shook his head and said, "No, I can't control the competition between the states and dynasties, and you are not such an important individual. Even if I don't agree to hand over the mining rights, the emperor will not do anything to you. At most, I will send you back." "Brother, do you want to agree to peace agreement?" Oda City asked in a daze. "I don't know." Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said, "I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty's manifesto was just a statement. Since Tsubasa Island has been taken down, how can I not attack? That's why I issued a defensive order, and the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent an envoy to discuss it."
"It disrupted all arrangements."
Oda Nobunaga thought that the Ming Emperor's manifesto was just a statement, and Emperor Chengzuwen also said that he wanted to clear the king's side, but Jianwenjun disappeared without a trace in an unknown way.
The emperor sent an envoy to completely mount Oda Nobunaga on the fire frame, and he agreed or not.
