As the foreign affairs agency in charge of Daqi, Honglu Temple is naturally responsible for the food and accommodation issues of the various missions.
For this reason, when he captured Luoyang and built the new capital, Taizu specially granted a large piece of land to Honglu Temple.
Therefore, among the many institutions in Daqi, although the territory of Honglu Temple is not as important as the Sixth Division and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, its area still far exceeds that of the Sixth Division.
According to Taizu's plan, an entire square of land was specially set up as a residence for envoys, which basically ensured that each country could have its own set of two courtyards to conduct business, such as Qixiang Kingdom (probably Ryukyu in reality) And some small countries that dare to call themselves kings with just one or two cities.
And if you want a bigger yard, you have to prove your strength.
Countries that can survive a few rounds under Daqi's hand will have three entrances, such as North Korea, Taungoo, Siam, etc.
However, recently Taungoo is preparing a phased strategy for Jiuzhou Huaxia, one of the highest level dungeons in the world online, and a four-yard challenge against Daqi.
As long as they are not defeated, as long as they are not defeated instantly after the war, and can withstand the attack of the southwest Qi army led by the Grand Governor Yun Yu, Dongyu can live in Sijin Courtyard.
The one who can deal with Daqi is Si Jinyuan.
And those who can compete evenly with Daqi's Heavenly Collapse and Earthshattering will be treated as if they can enter the courtyard.
However, since the establishment of Daqi, the five-entry courtyard has not been used.
Previously, the country with the greatest hope of moving into the Wujin Courtyard was Mongolia and Yuan. But as Antong Bayar, the last great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, was captured alive by Jia Hui and presented his chieftain to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, even the four-entry courtyard belonging to the Dayuan Dynasty was sealed up, waiting for the successors.
To this day, the only Japanese country that is still eligible to live in the fourth courtyard is the Japanese country officially named "Yamato Country".
But there is a lot of merit in the Japanese country being able to live in the Sijin courtyard.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the biggest reason why Japan was able to deal with Daqi's Donghai Navy several times was that across the sea, the monsoon was not very stable. Daqi could not send a large army to attack, and could only send a few elite troops to storm the next port and hold on for many days. Just wait for the subsequent large forces to arrive.
Moreover, this place is extremely poor, and the Japanese are poor, ruthless, and annoying. They also pose a great threat to the Qi army's food routes.
However, under the influence of many factors, the war with the Japanese country continued for a year and two months. The Donghai Navy finally broke through the last stronghold of the Kamakura shogunate in the northeast and eliminated the last resistance force of the Japanese country at that time. , beheaded the last shogunate leader Hojo Moriki on an unknown wasteland on the shore of Mutsu Bay.
The Ashikaga Taka clan, the pillar of the samurai family who turned against the enemy during the Battle of Kamakura and opened the city gates, was conferred by the Qi Dynasty as the new general of the Yamato Kingdom and given the name Takashi. The Imperial Palace was located in Muromachi and was called the Muromachi Shogunate.
Because of this, the Japanese state was distinguished from the vassal states such as Korea, and it reluctantly lived in Sijinyuan.
North Korea's jealous separation!
But there is no way. Da Qi's hierarchy of vassal states is very simple and crude. Da Qi distributes the envoys of vassal states according to their combat effectiveness.
However, North Korea's record during the Great Qi Emperor Taizu's reign, when they were pushed back to Pyongyang by King Beijingzhuang in a battle, was so dazzling that even the confident North Koreans did not have the nerve to apply for a fourth entry into the courtyard.
. . .
In the fourth courtyard with a strong Japanese style, a mustachioed man with black teeth and a black hat was speaking in a strange accent to the man sitting opposite with a Tsukiyo haircut.
"Sir Mingzhi, there is news from Qi State Lieutenant Jia, allowing me to pay a visit to the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion at three o'clock the next day." The official said while holding a Japanese fan and slapping the palm of his left hand.
"Three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow? Your Majesty, I understand." Akechi Mitsuhide accepted this time without any hesitation.
Originally, he planned to visit the Minister of the Ministry of War the next afternoon, but since Captain Jia agreed to their visit, he could only postpone the visit to the Ministry of War.
"Oh ho ho, we are really lucky, Akechi-sama." As if he thought of something, Nijo Yukira, who is the fourth senior minister and junior high minister, suddenly raised his folding fan to cover the lower half of his face, and smiled with Akechi Mitsuhide. Look at each other.
Just ask me!
"Oh? Does the Lieutenant General have any news?"
Akechi Mitsuhide understood this look almost instantly, and quickly asked as if to support him.
"Ho ho ho, Lord Hinata Mamoru, did you know that yesterday was the captain's birthday? He must be in a good mood these days." Nijo Yukira looked at him with a smile on his face, "I don't know how powerful I am if I know this". Mitsuhide Akechi.
Although the purpose of the Oda family's coming to Qi this time was, to the imperial court, it was the same as the Muromachi shogunate who bypassed the imperial court and directly conferred the title of Qi by Da Qi. This was an overstep and a great disrespect.
But Nobunaga gave too much!
Anyway, my family has been reduced to the point where they have to make up their family backgrounds and surnames for the common people, so what's wrong with the imperial court?
Moreover, if Lord Nobunaga achieves his goal and is canonized, he will be replaced by the Ashikaga clan. So how good will it be for me, the lobbyist who helps Nobunaga to operate the relations in Dazilla?
With my bloodline as the second of the Five Photographic Clan, I can even sit in the position of Guan Bai. At the worst, I can get a good position in the shogunate by abandoning my public status and switching to the Wu family!
Nijo Yukira was looking forward to his bright future, and Akechi Mitsuhide asked the doubts in his heart:
"But I heard that Captain Jia's uncle just passed away not long ago? Their relationship..."
"Ho ho. I heard him say this yesterday when I was drinking with Mr. Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. The relationship between Jia Taiwei and his uncle was somewhat tense, so the death of Dr. Jia Fengzheng had little impact on Jia Taiwei. "
"Then how does this young minister know this?" Akechi Mitsuhide quickly asked.
"Hinata Mamoru-sama, don't be anxious." Nijo Yukira glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi with some dissatisfaction, as if blaming him for interrupting his words.
"Ah, I'm rude, private Marseille!" Seeing that Nijo Yuki was a little dissatisfied, he quickly bowed and apologized.
"It was unintentional for Hinata Mamoru to be stupid about tape. As for why, this young minister is a Jinshi in the Yi Mao Department and is the same class of Uncle Jia Taiwei." Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide's apology in a timely manner, Nijo Yukira also I won’t pursue it, after all, Nobunaga’s bus agent’s mission is important.
"However, our Lord Saito Yoshihiro has not recovered from his illness? What a pity. Since I left the country, Lord Saito has been bedridden, but I have never seen Lord Saito." Nijo Yukira teased The Japanese fan in the hand has a meaning.
"Haha, thank you for your concern, Lieutenant General. His Highness Yoshinaga is the concubine of Madam Guiche. Madam's wish to revive the Saito family is also pinned on His Highness Yoshinaga, so I asked the lord to send His Highness Yoshinaga a lot of money. task
But this wish is a bit heavy for His Highness Yoshinaga. His Highness lives a very hard life every day, so he fell ill now. I will convey your concern to His Highness on your behalf! "Akechi Mitsuhide said seriously to Nijo Yukira, and bowed solemnly.
Hearing what Akechi Mitsuhide said, Nijo Yukira could not say anything. He also bowed to Akechi Mitsuhide, said goodbye again, and took small steps back to his room to play with the latest porcelain bottle he bought.
It wasn't until Nijo Yukira left the main hall that Mitsuhide Akechi stood up and went to the backyard.
"Your Highness, I would like to see Mitsuhide!"
. . . . . .
Just the day before Akechi Mitsuhide visited Jia Hui, Yun Yu, who led the army to confront Toungoo in the southwest, sent a battle report to the court.
A few days ago, the war between Taungoo and Daqi started!
This year seems to have entered the rainy season early, with unusually abundant rainfall, which has also led to successive flash floods that have washed away dams and flooded many farmlands. However, almost all the strong men in the country were recruited by the king to confront the Qi State. Naturally, there was no spare manpower in the country to build embankments.
Fortunately, the Toungoo court blocked the news from the south in time and did not let the army know. But after all, paper cannot cover the fire. Sooner or later, the army will know what happened in their hometown, so they can only fight quickly!
King Mang of Toungoo responded to the expedition personally and led his troops to attack the Qi army stationed in Lashio at night. Caught off guard, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qi army Hu Chang and the chieftain Manglai were killed in the battle. The commander-in-chief Liang Ji gathered the defeated troops and fled into the rain forest. Among them, while fighting, they retreated to Dehong.
Fortunately, Jia Hui did not equip the southwest Qi army with muskets, and the artillery was mostly small, which was easy to destroy.
As far as the current level of firearms is concerned, crossbows are easier to use than fire guns.
Hu Chang also blew up several cannons before he died in the battle, preventing the cannons from falling into the hands of the Toungoo army.
The Qi army also continued to crush Taungu's technology.
Yunyu, who set up the shogunate in Mianning (today's Lincang), was furious after receiving the battle report. He cursed at the southwest, but still arranged a counterattack plan in an orderly manner.
The Qi army stationed in Dehong, Pu'er, Myitkyina, Xishuangbanna and other places approached the border of Taungu, vowing to break into Taungu City within two months and capture Mang Yingda alive!
At the same time, the chieftains of the Xuanwei Division in Babaidian also received orders from Yun Yu and headed towards the important towns in Dongguo such as Leigu and Pa'an.
Annan, who had always coveted the fertile land of the Angkor Dynasty, also took advantage of Daqi's southwestern military power to concentrate on Toungoo and launched a war with Angkor. He planned to capture Angkor's raw rice and cook it for Daqi to recognize by pinching his nose. .
Siam, which was defeated by the former king of Angkor more than ten years ago, seems to have some thoughts about Angkor.
Indochina instantly turned into a mess!
City of Gods.
After receiving the report of the Southwest War, the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army started operating at high speed, and started logistical dispatching work under the command of Jia Hui.
At this morning's court meeting, the emperor had handed over the coordination work to himself, leaving Jia Hui to coordinate all the rear work for the battle with Toungoo.
Hong Ling's urgent envoy set out from the Governor's Mansion carrying military orders one after another, and rushed towards the southwest for 800 miles.
At the same time, a large amount of armaments that had been ready for loading and leaving at any time also began to be loaded into trucks and prepared to be sent to the front line.
"What do Liang Ji and Hu Chang do for food? Don't they know why they were stationed in Lashio?" A roar like a tiger came from the festival hall.
The clerk who had just asked too much what to do with Hu Chang, who died in battle, and Liang Ji, who lost his land and city due to underestimating the enemy's arrogance, was filled with regret. He did not expect that the Taiwei would react so strongly to the two of them.
Jia Hui, who had been holding back his anger and finally burst out and cursed, lost his temper, regained his senses, sat back on his chair and began to think.
"Well, Hu Chang tried his best anyway, and he also died in the battle. You go to the people in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to ask about the procedure for this situation, and then report it to me.
As for Liang Ji, he was so stupid that he asked him to raise horses for Mr. Yun! "
"yes!"
After hearing the Taiwei's arrangement for the two of them, the clerk left the festival hall as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Lieutenant, although Liang Ji lost Lashio, he also withdrew into the rain forest with 80% of his troops." On the side, the Zuo Deputy Governor of the Governor's Mansion felt that Jia Hui's punishment was too harsh, and it was now a war, so Liang No matter what, Ji is a fierce general who is good at jungle warfare.
"Who allowed him to make Hu Chang die in battle, while Liang Ji is still alive?" Jia Hui said quietly.
According to Yun Yu, it was Liang Ji who started eating, drinking and having fun since he settled in Lashio City, while Hu Chang did his best to arrange the defense.
On the night of the attack, Hu Chang took a shift and rested, while Liang Ji, who was on duty, skipped work and went to drink wine. When Lashio was attacked and the messenger found Liang Ji, he was still playing hide and seek with Sister Yao.
When Liang Ji, who had put on his armor, finally ran to the city wall, Hu Chang, who came to support immediately, had already started fighting hand-to-hand with Dongyu soldiers.
Therefore, Liang Ji must be punished, even during the war!
Another military order was sent to Mian Ning, and the errands of the Governor's Office came to an end for the time being.
Since Jia Hui had begun to allocate supplies to the southwest a long time ago, there was not much to do now. The most important thing to do was to issue supplementary orders to the generals such as permission to take the initiative to attack.
Just apply a patch and start a new round of material transportation.
As the petty officials went out on business, the Governor's Mansion became quiet again.
"Where is the mission to North Korea?" Jia Hui, who had begun to deal with other military affairs, suddenly asked without looking up.
"Lieutenant, the mission has passed through Jinzhou and will soon meet up with General Jiang Huan and Jiang Shen in Shenyang." The clerk who had been waiting beside him quickly replied.
"Well, I understand."
Jia Hui nodded, and then handed the small pile of documents he had processed to the clerk.
"Send it to the Ministry of Finance to ask for money."
"yes!"
The clerk accepted the promise, put the documents into a wooden box, locked it, and walked out of the festival hall with the wooden box in his arms.
"well"
Jia Hui left the pen on the table and lay down on the chair with a sigh.
Trouble is, Indochina, Japan, and North Korea all have a lot of trouble with them, and most of them are related to military affairs. I don’t even want to get involved!
Needless to say, the Indochina Peninsula is even more chaotic than the northwestern Shanxi where Li Yunlong was involved.
According to Xiu Yi who was lurking there, the death of the late king of North Korea was definitely related to the crown prince Li Xiang. However, this person had an abnormal mind and his political tendency was anti-Qi.
Then there is the Japanese country. Just by the name Oda Nobunaga, you can tell how troublesome it is.
Although the more chaotic the Japanese state is, the more it is in Daqi's interests. Giving him a righteous name is just a matter of words.
But what if you lose it? Oda Nobunaga had an accident and failed to break through the encirclement, or Akechi Mitsuhide showed off his barbecue skills in advance and roasted Nobunaga, and the entire Japanese country once again united and rebelled?
Is it really necessary to spend a lot of manpower, material and military resources to start a new war while fighting Taungoo?
Four hundred million taels of silver is not such a waste!
Jia Hui drank the already cold tea on the table in one gulp, and was about to leave work and go home early.
But instead of going back to the Duke's Mansion, he went back to Rongguo Mansion.
It's not that Jia Hui took the initiative to feel uncomfortable, but
Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing.
