Chapter 267 Use a radish to carve the seal and ribbon of the Japanese king
In Nagasaki, there were two forces in the Ming Dynasty. One was Tang Guan, in which Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, Ma Jin and other 600 Langli Baitiao were the backbone. Behind the scenes are the merchants of Ming Nanya who went to sea during the Ming Dynasty. They supported the Ming Dynasty with real money in the form of taxes;
The other force is the Fujian Guild Hall, mainly led by Zhao Changlin. They were composed of smugglers and desperadoes. They were supported by old maritime merchants who advocated opposition to taxation and the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty.
These two forces can be regarded as the old and new maritime groups, Tang Guan is the new maritime group, and Fujian Guilduan is the old maritime group. The main conflict of interest is the Japanese silver.
Under the continuous control of the policy of opening up the sea, and under the example of the Sun Keyi brothers and the Sun family in Songjiang, more and more Jin gentry turned their eyes to the sea, and then continued to Integrated into "Songjiang Yuanhang Trading Company".
Sun Keyi used to be the Songjiang Merchant General. This Merchant General was not a name, but the court selected people with strong family backgrounds and strong capital to name them. The Merchant General was the leader of the Yuanhang Trading Company, a loose alliance of merchants. Among them, there are many kinds of merchants such as field, luck, nest and pawn.
These merchants have various functions according to their division of labor.
For example, the peddlers sell raw materials everywhere; the merchants, just like making a nest, specially build warehouses to store or engage in production activities; and the transporters are merchants, who specialize in moving goods from one place to the other. Taken to another place, he is mainly responsible for transportation and security of the escort agency.
As for market merchants, it is necessary to be able to go to sea with the merchant. You must have at least a three-masted plywood boat in your hand to become a market merchant.
Shangzong just chooses from the merchants.
Songjiang Yuantao Trading Company is a loose alliance of merchants. Their common interest is to open up the sea. Sun Keyi was the leader of the alliance among merchants before and was appointed by the imperial court. After Sun Keyi went to Japan, the imperial court named Sun Kehong and continued to serve as the general merchant. .
Even though Sun Kehong’s knees were smashed by Xu Jie and he could not stand, Songjiang Yamen still believed that it was better not to hand over the crucial position of Mr. Shang to someone else. Being unable to stand up was not a big deal, so let Just carry it and walk.
So Xu Wei, Sun Keyi and Songjiang Yuanhang Trading Company were a collection of interests that emerged under the policy of opening up the sea, and formed a conflict of interest with the existing smuggling merchants.
The Tang Palace where Xu Wei sits has an overwhelming advantage, because he has 600 regular navymen of the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty is behind him, but behind Zhao Changlin there are only some stubborn and stubborn people who have not clearly seen the general trend. A spirited old merchant.
To go out and hang out, you must have power and background.
It only took half a day for Ma Jin to get Zhao Changlin in front of Xu Wei without any bloodshed. Ma Jin went directly to the Fujian Guild Hall to get it without encountering any resistance.
After all, outside the large row house of the Fujian Guild Hall, Ma Jin pushed two nine-pound cannons and filled them with medicine before taking the people.
This nine-pound powder artillery was dismantled from the battle seat ship, and then installed on the Qi family's gun mount, which was the wooden artillery cart built by Qi Jiguang.
Facing the artillery, everyone inside and outside the Fujian Guild Hall unanimously put down their weapons.
In the previous attack on the parish, these two nine-pound gun cannons showed their power. They blew open the door of the church with only one shot; the second shot destroyed the statue of the god. It was blown to pieces; the third shot was loaded with explosive shells, and one shot destroyed the will of everyone in the parish to resist. After all, the flesh and blood were covered in the fragments.
Everyone has seen the power of this thing. It is better not to challenge the power of the artillery with flesh and blood.
Anyway, it was only Zhao Changlin who was arrested, not the owner of the Fujian Guild Hall.
"I asked you to come, but you didn't come, and you still asked me to go. Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xu Wei looked at the tied-up Zhao Changlin and said in a very dissatisfied tone.
It’s shameless to give face. Although Xu Wei gave the time, it was more to let the merchants of the Fujian Guild Hall understand the situation and see Zhao Changlin’s original face and face. Zhao Changlin wanted to step on Xu Wei, not for the sake of the Fujian Guild Hall. interests, but for their own selfish interests.
"The eagle dog of the imperial court! Xu Wenchang, have you forgotten how Hu Butang died? You just forgot how Hu Butang died. Have you forgotten Wang Zhi? By then you Xu Wei , also a pirate! "Zhao Changlin kept struggling and kept talking.
The navy soldier's binding skills are excellent, how could he break free.
Xu Wei did not refute immediately. Both the Fujian Guild Hall and the Tang Hall recommended Xu Wei as the governor of Nagasaki. In fact, the reason was very simple, that is, they did not want Xu Wei to be the governor.
This logic is actually very normal. The imperial court will not listen to the local government. If the imperial court is willing to listen, Zhengmao, whose surname is Guo, has returned to Guangdong and Guangxi, instead of the murderous Ling Yunyi continuing to dominate.
But this time the court unexpectedly appointed Xu Wei, catching everyone off guard.
Wang Zhi had been dispatched by Hu Zongxian. Wang Bengu, the governor of Zhejiang at the time, arrested Wang Zhi without saying hello. In the end, he was convicted of being a pirate and beheaded. This caused a worse impact than the court thought. , to be more profound.
Fujian merchants, desperadoes, etc. who were in Japan could not help but think of Wang Zhi's fate, and then went against the imperial court.
"It's really causing endless harm." Xu Wei rubbed his face and looked very helpless. For people like him and Zhao Changlin who came from a reckless background, it was all in vain to say that Wang Bengu said that Xu Jie said that there was strife in the court. In Zhao Changlin's eyes, these are the will of the imperial court and the evil of the imperial court.
The imperial court is a whole. This is a stereotyped understanding. Xu Wei also had this understanding when he was working as an aide under Hu Zongxian.
But after several years in prison, some people wanted to kill him, some wanted to save him, some wanted him to stay in prison forever, and some wanted to use him to rehabilitate Hu Zongxian. In short, the court was also a vanity fair. Because of different interests, there are all kinds of cronies.
"Xu Wei, kill me if you can!" Zhao Changlin shouted angrily.
Xu Wei smiled and shook his head and said: "Everyone is out, how can we kill people? I just asked you to come over and talk. Whether you accept it or not, it doesn't matter, as long as you get in If you go out of this door, you will be like me."
"Let him go."
Xu Wei leaned forward slightly and said, "Listen carefully, other things. I don't care what you like, but if you get involved with the Japanese and harm the Ming Dynasty, your death will come."
The only purpose of calling Zhao Changlin here is to tell him the standards for communicating with the Japanese. The Japanese harmed the interests of the Ming Dynasty together, which is to communicate with the Japanese. This is the golden rule that Wang Xijue proved with his big head in the Wang Xijue case. In the long process of eradicating the Japanese, this is the only criterion.
Whether it is opposition or fighting for profit, it is all an internal struggle. Brothers are fighting against each other but they are still trying to resist humiliation from the outside. If even this rule is violated, then Xu Wei cannot be blamed for being ruthless and ruthless.
Xu Wei's warning was not without purpose. In fact, none of the merchants smuggling in the Japanese country had flirted with the famous names of Lingzhi Kingdom. However, in the process of flirting, they got involved with the Japanese for the purpose of harming the interests of the Ming Dynasty and enriching their private families. There is no way to escape the death penalty.
Ma Jin pouted, this is where the viciousness of scholars comes from. They kill people with soft knives, real swords and real guns. Ma Jin has never been afraid of these literary scholars, but scholars never use real swords. Using real guns, manipulating politics, and finally turning the martial artist around, this drama has been going on for more than 600 years.
Zhao Changlin entered the Tang Palace door and walked out intact. There is no difference between Zhao Changlin and Xu Wei. After all, no one knows what he said. Zhao Changlin walked out intact. Then he is the court's lackey Ying Quan and the traitor of Green Forest.
This is enough, there is no need to do much more.
In the conflict of interests between the old and new maritime merchants, because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, the new ones have an absolute advantage. It only takes time for these old ones to be eliminated by the tide of the times.
For example, ships, the new maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, all have three-masted plywood ships, with larger cargo capacity, faster speed, better water tightness, etc. This is the most common among maritime merchants. It has huge advantages, and these advantages will gradually defeat these old smugglers in the competition.
For example, the navigator of Songjiang Maritime Academy has a more complete knowledge system for navigating across the ocean, and the instruments in his hands, such as sextant, compass, clock, etc., are more precise and accurate in piloting. When the time comes, sea routes and ports will be found more quickly, and the exchange of goods will be realized more quickly.
For example, in the inspection of coastal defense patrols, these old smugglers do not have ship licenses, or the ships are simply two-masted sailing ships, so they must avoid the inspections of white stripes in the waves of coastal defense patrols, which invisibly increases the number of smugglers. cost more.
These are the advantages of newcomers. It will only take a while for the old ones to be beaten to death on the beach.
There is no need for Xu Wei to kill each other. Intensifying this contradiction at this time is not conducive to the development of the Governor's Office in the Japanese country. It is enough to make the remnants of the old era suspicious of each other and unable to work together.
"Have you contacted our Muromachi Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiaki?" After Xu Wei dealt with Zhao Changlin's problem, he began to deal with what he had promised to the court before, and cooperated with the Muromachi Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and continued to pick on both inside and outside. .
"He is now in Tomon Castle in Numa Kuma County, Bingo Province, in the Maori Domain, not far from Nagasaki." Sun Keyi said with a smile: "Ashikaga Yoshiaki went to the Maori Domain to beg for food with the Maori family governor, and asked the Maori family governor to We were in great embarrassment and were trying to think of a way to send this plague god away. We happened to contact Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Therefore, Mori Terumoto, the governor of the Mori clan, planned to send Ashikaga Yoshiaki over as a gift. "
" Then go pick it up." Xu Wei nodded and said: "After all, he is our Ming Dynasty's dog, so it is not a problem to beg for food."
A portrait of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general of the Muromachi shogunate. , just two words - begging for food.
His elder brother was the shogun of the previous generation. After his elder brother was killed by a rebel, Ashikaga Yoshiaki returned to secular life and began to beg for food, or to revitalize the Muromachi shogunate.
There is a custom in the Japanese country that the sons of generals who failed to obtain the status of heir must become a monk. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's brother obtained the status of shogun, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself could only become a monk.
My brother died and Ashikaga Yoshiaki returned to secular life. However, if you want to inherit the position of shogun, you have to go to Luo with your sword in hand, which means defeating all opponents, enter Kyoto with your sword in hand, and get the appointment of the emperor, which is to go to Luo with sword in hand. , and argued the interests with the emperor.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki begged for food, and he was known as a beggar and a poor man. He went on begging for several years but failed to make a name for himself until he begged Owari Province Oda Nobunaga. Chang happened to be going to Luoyang, but he lacked a status, so he hit it off with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the two sides began to cooperate.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki has the status and reputation of the samurai family, while Oda Nobunaga has the military force. The two parties cooperated closely and fully, and the process of going to Luo was also very easy. Ashikaga Yoshiaki became a recognized Shogun.
But Ashikaga Yoshiaki soon fell out with Oda Nobunaga.
The reason for the falling out is simple: power.
Oda Nobunaga wants to be a man of the world, that is, the person who controls all the power of the Japanese country, the most powerful person in the world. Oda Nobunaga relies on his tyrannical force to continuously increase the constraints on the Muromachi shogunate. Hollowing out the ruling foundation of the Muromachi Shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki refused to let Oda Nobunaga become a man of the world. He began to unite many daimyo and monk soldiers who were enemies of Oda Nobunaga, and launched an siege against Oda Nobunaga, which was the second time. The establishment of Oda Nobunaga's siege network.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is famous. The Muromachi shogunate was the king of Japan who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also canonized by the emperor.
As a representative of the samurai family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki still has a strong influence.
The Samurai family originated from the Taira and Minamoto clans, as opposed to the public family, which generally refers to the emperor, the court, the nobles, etc. With the establishment of the shogunate, the public family has been completely ignored by the samurai family.
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to enthrone Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he would call him Minamotoaki, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki would call himself the King of Japan, Omimotoaki and others.
The second Oda Nobunaga siege was shattered, and the beggar king Ashikaga Yoshiaki was exiled.
The beggar began his begging journey again, wandering in Hanoi, Izumi, Kii and other places. In February of the fourth year of Wanli, Ashikaga Yoshiaki began to wander to Tomo Castle, which is the home of the Mori Domain. In this territory, the governor’s name is Maori Huiyuan.
Mouri Terumoto was also in a dilemma when facing Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
First, he is afraid of Oda Nobunaga. Owari Nobunaga, a big fool, has repeatedly proven himself in terms of force. Anyone who accepts Ashikaga Yoshiaki is an enemy of Oda Nobunaga;
2 Ashikaga Yoshiaki, without any notice, issued an order to keep silent to his ministers and secretly arrived at Tomo Castle;
The third time, the Choshu Domain, also known as the Mori Domain, still did not do enough. preparation.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to the Mouri Domain without saying any hello. This behavior forced Mouri Terumoto to break his alliance with Oda Nobunaga.
Mouri Terumoto had to protect Ashikaga Yoshiaki. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki still had a strong appeal among the samurai family, that is, among the various daimyo. Just like during the Three Kingdoms, no matter where Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ran away, Whichever force, the princes on this side, must ensure the safety of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Once something happens to Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the territory of the Mori family, it will inevitably cause the daimyo to attack in groups.
In this case, Nagasaki said that he would pick up this hot potato, and Mouri Terumoto wanted to get rid of him immediately.
The car and boat of the beggar Yoshiaki Ashikaga arrived in Nagasaki quickly. Terumoto Mori prepared everything at the first time and moved Ashikaga Yoshiaki and him as quickly as possible. The ministers sent him to the ship, just like sending him to the god of plague.
It takes about ten to fifteen days to get from Nagasaki to Tomo Castle. Because of the "two-way rush", the Mori family is sending them off and Nagasaki is picking them up. Within ten days, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is there. Disembarked at the Nagasaki pier.
Governor Xu Wei of the Nagasaki Governor's Office and Nagasaki Senzou Ma Jin did not show up. Omura Junchu went to meet the beggar, and then randomly found a large townhouse for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to stay. It's settled down.
The next day, Xu Wei summoned Ashikaga Yoshiaki. According to the etiquette records in the "Fan Guo Yi Zhu" compiled by Hu Hui, the Minister of Rites between Yongle and Jingtai, the king of the vassal state had to kneel down at the dock to greet the angel. Word.
During the Jingtai period, King Li Hongwei of North Korea refused to kneel down, which caused the ceremony of canonizing the king to be delayed for more than a year. Then Li Hongwei’s fourth uncle, Li Ao, launched a coup and won the throne. The throne of the king of Korea.
After the vassal rituals were formulated, they were seldom changed.
As the king of Japan and the legal successor of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was enthroned by the Ming Dynasty, so he came to pay homage to the Ming Dynasty envoy instead of the Ming Dynasty envoy.
And now Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still a loser who fights among himself, so there is no reason for Ming Dynasty to respect him too much.
"The King of Japan and General Genzhao pays homage to the Ming Emperor. Long live, long live, long live." Ashikaga Yoshiaki saluted in blunt Chinese. He was not worshiping an angel, but the Ming Emperor. .
After Xu Wei waited for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to kneel and salute while facing the west, he sat down to the north and asked, "You can't speak Chinese as well as Omura Juntada."
Official conduct in Japan The words are in Chinese characters and the words are in Chinese, so communication is actually not that difficult, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Chinese is not as good as Omura Juntada, the governor of the Omura family who gave Nagasaki to the Ming Dynasty.
"That's what the angel taught me." Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't dare to refute, he could only say that he was a bereaved dog now, begging for food everywhere, with nowhere to go.
Xu Wei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and asked calmly: "Do you want to form a third siege of Oda Nobunaga?"
The Ashikaga Yoshiaki group participated in the second siege of Nobunaga. , the reason why there is a second time is because there is a first time.
The first time Oda Nobunaga encircled the net, the main forces were Asai, Asakura, Miyoshi, and Ichikou Mun. Although the first time they opposed Oda Nobunaga, the melee ended with Oda Nobunaga winning. , but Oda Nobunaga also paid an extremely painful price. For example, Oda Nobunaga's younger brother, Oda Shinji, died in the Battle of Usayama Castle. For example, he made many promises for the truce.
The second siege of Nobunaga was not entirely organized by Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Moreover, after the siege was formed, Ashikaga Yoshiaki jumped back and stabbed Oda Nobunaga in the back.
However, Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the conflicts between the various daimyo and repeatedly instigated them, causing the various daimyo to fight among themselves. Oda Nobunaga pounced on the Asai family, and finally in the second weaving Tian Nobunaga won a great victory by surrounding the net.
And Ashikaga Yoshiaki has always wanted to form a third Nobunaga siege network so that he could kill Oda Nobunaga, go to Luo again, and revive the Muromachi shogunate.
But the Maori family who occupied the western part of Honshu Island were not very happy.
"Yes!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki clenched his fists. He wanted to go to Luo again, but the result of begging for food was not fulfilled. No one was willing to help him. Even the Mori family was hesitant. Honshu On the island, the only ones who still threaten Oda are Maori and the Takeda family.
"Do you know why the Maori family is unwilling?" Xu Wei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki. He failed. Did he sum up the reasons?
"Oda Nobunaga's bravery is really worrying." Ashikaga Yoshiaki chose to answer this question.
And Xu Wei shook his head and said: "Oh, there is really no reflection. The reason why a defeated dog is a defeated dog is entirely for a reason."
"You have never reflected on your own mistakes, so you act like this." Mistake after mistake.”
“Your biggest mistake was that you chose to stab Oda Nobunaga in the back when he faced an enemy several times his size.”
"Oda Nobunaga helped you go to Luo and restored you to the position of shogun. Even if you were treated poorly, you should not stab you in the back. How do the many great names of Japan view you?"
" Terumoto Mori must be thinking: If he helps you go to Luo again, not to mention whether he can deal with the world-famous Oda Nobunaga, he will really succeed in returning to Gyeonggi. If you backstab the Mori family again, how will the Mori family deal with themselves? ?”
“So, you shouldn’t have stabbed Nobunaga in the back.”
“If I didn’t do that, he would have killed me.” Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn’t think so. Today's situation is my own problem, because Oda Nobunaga is not loyal enough!
Xu Wei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and shook his head again and said: "You are still alive now, so he can only expel you. How can he kill you? Even the back molars of hatred are broken. He still can't kill you, because if he kills you, he will have to bear too much criticism, so he can only exile you."
Oda Nobunaga should have deep feelings about Ashikaga Yoshiaki's betrayal. Hateful, but when the matter was undecided, he could only act hastily like this.
The delay in forming the third Oda Nobunaga siege network was entirely due to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's personal loss of appeal. He, the Muromachi shogun, had died politically from the day he left Kyoto. .
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not dare to refute the Ming envoy, and he finally understood why the Maori family was so hesitant. It was obviously a struggle for survival with the Oda family, but the Maori family still did not want to completely break up.
The Maori family is not asking for mercy from Oda Nobunaga, but they are unwilling to cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the beggar king, is still a treacherous villain.
"Then what should I do?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki knelt on the ground and was silent for a long time before asking loudly.
“From today on, don’t ask anything, don’t say anything, live a good life in Tangguan, leave the rest to me, give me your seal of the king of Japan.” Xu Wei Tuqiong Takami explained his true intention, he was interested in the gold seal in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's hand.
That was the seal awarded by the Ming Emperor to the Muromachi Shogunate, and it is still in use today.
From the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty began to canonize Japanese kings. Until the Ming Dynasty, in the 20th year of Wanli, the Ming Emperor ordered the Japanese King Taira Hideyoshi (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) and at the same time canonized eight governors. , canonized one Japanese Zen master, and commanded one person.
In legal terms, the Japanese country has actually always been a dependent state of the Central Plains Dynasty, at least during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
The golden seal of the Japanese king was the main reason why Xu Wei took the person over.
"You don't know how to use this thing, just leave it to me." Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki still refused to agree, Xu Wei sneered and said, "Are you really unwilling to give it to me? Then I'll ask Daming The court wants another one.”
Xu Wei took out a copper seal. This seal ribbon was used by the Ming Emperor to confer him the title of Governor of Nagasaki. Ashikaga Yoshiaki refused to give it to him. Xu Wei was really embarrassed to ask the court for it, and the little emperor was very likely to give it to him. one.
Because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not care much about the plight of the Japanese country. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty only needed silver. The Ming court launched the pacification of the Japanese country just for the sake of a more stable import of silver. As for the life and death of the Japanese people, the Ming Dynasty did not care at all, because the emperor not give a damn about.
The gold seal of the Japanese king is not as good as the official seal in Xu Wei's hand. With this copper seal, Xu Wei can mobilize Haiyi to deliver pond newspapers and memorials to the court, but with the gold seal, he can only If you can send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, it will take a long time to meet the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the probability of meeting the emperor is very slim.
Xu Wei asked for the gold seal just to facilitate his work.
Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still insisting, Xu Wei gave up the demand and said to Sun Keyi: "Forget it, let's carve one out of a radish."
"Huh? Carve one out of a radish?" Sun Keyi His eyes suddenly widened, he looked at his husband and said in horror.
"It is true that radish is not easy to preserve. Just carve one out of stone, as long as it can be used." After careful consideration, Xu Wei decided to change the material to stone, which would last longer.
Sun Keyi said blankly: "Is it a matter of what kind of engraving is used?"
Those who engrave privately will die.
Xu Wei said matter-of-factly: "Do you think His Majesty will blame us for privately engraving the seal? Anyway, this Japanese king is already in name only."
"That's not true." Sun Keyi still believed in the flexibility of the Ming court.
Especially His Majesty’s flexibility. In order to amass profits, His Majesty even stayed with Wang Chonggu, who had committed the crime of transgression, to do things, privately carving seals and ribbons overseas, it was just a trivial matter.
"That's it, send the general to rest." Xu Wei waved his hand, indicating to Ma Jin to send him out.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Xu Wei blankly. He never expected that the great angel from the heavenly kingdom could be so shameless! Ask for a seal and ribbon, but if you don't get it, just engrave it privately. Is this an envoy from the Ming Dynasty, where morality is supreme?
Xu Wei has abandoned all morality from the moment he was imprisoned in the sky prison, because if he has morality, he will only end up in death row like Hu Zongxianyu.
Shameless? Just no morals.
Being an official in the imperial court depends on your moral standards, and being an official at sea depends on your moral standards. Then wouldn’t Xu Wei go to sea in vain?
Sun Keyi once again witnessed Xu Wei's shamelessness and his calculations.
Xu Wei's private seal seal is also false news, releasing a signal that he does not care about Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the person who receives the signal is not Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general, but the close ministers and retinue who follow Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki personally did not want to hand over the seal, but his close ministers such as Hosokawa Terukune, Ueno Hidemasa, Hatakeyama Akiken, etc., still delivered the gold seal to Xu Wei the next day.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki is completely abandoned, these close ministers will also lose their last chance.
Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately, let alone they are not husband and wife?
The golden seal is very small, only about the size of a thumb, but with this, you can do things.
"In the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, let the Otomo, Ito, Sagara, Shimazu, Ryuzoji and other families in Kyushu Island send envoys to Nagasaki to discuss important matters." Xu Wei He didn't care much about the golden seal, so he handed it to Sun Keyi casually and asked Sun Keyi to summon the Daimyos of Kyushu Island.
"What about the Maori family, are you invited?" Sun Keyi wrote down these lists. These are all famous names on Kyushu Island, and the Maori clan is on Honshu Island, separated by a narrow strait.
"Let me write a letter to Mouri Terumoto personally." Xu Wei thought about it and made a decision. He did not plan to invite the Mouri family in the name of the Muromachi shogunate, but as the governor of Nagasaki. The Mori family can avoid an immediate conflict with the Oda family, even if the two sides are already at odds with each other.
In his letter, Xu Wei warmly invited the Maori family to send envoys to Nagasaki to support the establishment of the Nagasaki shogunate. At the same time, he also made it clear that he believed that the Maori family was worth sending an envoy here.
In the letter, Xu Wei looked forward to the war between the Maori family and the Oda family. The final result was not wonderful.
Oda Nobunaga has always fought unscrupulously, and there are also traitors in the Maori family's territory, such as the Urakami clan.
The Maori family, which is slightly inferior to Oda Nobunaga in terms of military force, will have an even more difficult time if there is a mole. If Oda Nobunaga sends an envoy to Kyushu Island again, he will be convinced. After gaining the reputation of Kyushu Island and stabbing the Maori family in the back, the Maori family, caught between two sides, would definitely lose.
Oda Nobunaga went from east to west, while the Kyushu daimyo went from south to north. This was a flanking attack from two sides. No matter how powerful the Maori family was, they would only have to jump into the sea.
After Mouri Terumoto received Xu Wei's letter, he indeed sent an envoy to ask his adopted son Mouri Hidemoto to come and participate in the establishment of the Nagasaki Shogunate.
After two months of preparations, the alliance established by the Nagasaki Shogunate finally started as scheduled.
“Loser Alliance.” Sun Keyi looked at the visitor and shook his head.
The people who came to participate in this alliance were all defeated by Oda Nobunaga. This group of people could not defeat Oda Nobunaga head-on, so they naturally resorted to conspiracy.
Using a radish to carve the seal and ribbon of the Japanese king is also effective, as long as the Ming court is willing to recognize it, because the seal and ribbon in the hands of the Muromachi shogunate was a reward from the Ming Dynasty. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
