Zhu Xuan feels that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is a tolerant person.
Like their ninjas, they can be very tolerant. Being exposed by Zhu Xuan in this way, they were just angry for a while, but the smile quickly returned to their faces, and they could still be polite and hypocritical with Zhu Xuan.
No wonder the Ashikaga shogunate was able to control the entire Japanese country. It was not without reason.
Emperor Gokomatsu was also worried that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would be angry and anger Zhu Xuan. You must know that the entire palace was surrounded by Zhu Xuan's navy. If Zhu Xuan was angry, the consequences would be serious.
But his worries were completely unnecessary.
On the first day after arriving in Japan, I was welcomed by them.
At night, Emperor Gokomatsu still wanted to arrange for Zhu Xuan to live in his palace.
But the Japanese country has always copied the Han people, but the copying is incomplete. In addition, the Japanese are short, everything in the palace is pitifully small, no matter how you look at it, it makes people uncomfortable.
Zhu Xuan did not plan to stay in the palace, but let the navy occupy a large open space to camp outside the palace. Of course, living in his own army would give him a sense of security.
In general, the Japanese country during the Ming Dynasty was too spicy.
The next morning.
As soon as Zhu Xuan got up, he saw Emperor Gokomatsu coming and asking for a lot of local delicacies from Japan.
However, Japan was short of supplies, and even if there were some, there were not many. The so-called delicacies they sent were not very good. Zhu Xuan and the others might as well eat the military rations they brought.
Those compressed biscuits are very fragrant, and dehydrated vegetables can be boiled in boiling water to make a pot of vegetable soup. They are all products of research in the Science Pavilion, and they can directly beat the delicacies of Japan.
There's even jerky.
Zhu Xuan also wanted to can cans, but the technology couldn't keep up. They only had preservatives and had not developed the preservation technology for cans.
"The Ming Dynasty is really powerful!"
Emperor Gomatsu was lucky enough to enter the military camp and saw the breakfast cooked by the navy soldiers. It was so delicious that he almost drooled. The sushi and other things he had made of rice balls seemed worthless.
"Mikado, try some."
Zhu Xuan saw him and asked Hou Xian to bring him some vegetable soup.
Emperor Gokomatsu took a sip and was almost intoxicated.
“It smells so good!”
He sighed, and then said: "The Ming Dynasty is really a heavenly kingdom, and it is thousands of times better than our Japanese country."
When he was a bad emperor in the Japanese country, he felt that he was ignorant and ignorant. To use a Chinese allusion, he was like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
"We, the Japanese nation, are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty forever." Emperor Gokomatsu said respectfully again.
Hearing this, Zhu Xuan glanced at him lightly.
"Aren't you Japanese people very arrogant?"
"In the past few years, Japanese pirates have been continuously arranged to invade our coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty."
"You are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and you are still arrogant and domineering."
"It's changing very quickly now!"
Zhu Xuan said coldly.
"Don't dare!"
"What happened in the past was all misunderstandings. People from the Ashikaga shogunate acted recklessly. I didn't want to do that either!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Emperor Gokomatsu knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Zhu Xuan feels that this guy knows how to blame others.
Let's not say whether it was the Ashikaga family who caused the chaos, but he directly pinned the label of the Ashikaga family for the chaos in the Ming Dynasty. Firstly, he could clear the relationship, and secondly, he probably wanted Zhu Xuan to deal with the Ashikaga family.
As the puppet emperor of Japan, Emperor Gokomatsu has always been controlled by the Ashikaga shogunate.
But no one is willing to be controlled by others, and they will definitely try their best to find opportunities to resist.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
Zhu Xuan drank the vegetable soup and said: "I am here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty to make friends with you and do business with you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Emperor Komatsu kowtowed again.
Being able to trade with the Ming Dynasty is also their biggest wish.
The island country is short of supplies and relies on imports for many things. If you want to live a comfortable life, you must import.
Emperor Gokomatsu said again: "Someone, please bring my things in."
After a while, several Japanese servants came in carrying a box.
He opened it and presented it in front of Zhu Xuan.
What I saw inside were some exquisite corals, pearls collected from the sea, and other things, which were all belongings.
"This is my tribute gift to the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness also knows that our Japanese country is poor and does not have many good things." Emperor Gokomatsu said awkwardly.
Zhu Xuan said nothing and stretched out his hand.
Hou Xian next to him understood, and hurried back to the tent, took out two enamels and linlangcai, and placed them in front of Emperor Gokomatsu.
"Reciprocity is reciprocated."
Zhu Xuan smiled slightly.
When Emperor Gokomatsu saw it, he was trembling with excitement.
This shows that Zhu Xuan is willing to accept the overtures of Japan. In addition, he has heard that these porcelains are extremely valuable outside and are priceless in the market. He said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
"Since you are willing to trade, I have an idea." Zhu Xuan said.
"Your Highness, please speak."
Emperor Gokomatsu said respectfully.
Zhu Xuan said: "My Ming Dynasty trades at sea. The farthest distance can reach the west side of the sea. In order to facilitate trade, I asked for a piece of land in the west to open a company. Then I also want to lease a piece of land in the Japanese country. How about it?"
When Emperor Gokomatsu heard this, he felt that this was nothing. If it was rented out, it would still be his own place. He agreed: "Of course there is no problem. This will be convenient for both our countries. Which area does Your Highness want?"
Zhu Xuan said: "How about the Shijian area, near Datian, which is close to the sea and is convenient for us to travel?"
He had done his homework before coming.
Through Ashikaga Yoshimochi, I found out where Ginzan is.
"no problem."
Emperor Gokomatsu readily agreed.
Zhu Xuan continued: "Then that area will be called our Daming Concession from now on. During the lease period, you Japanese people cannot interfere with everything in the concession. You are not allowed to enter. Of course, we will give you 100,000 taels of rent every year. .”
Emperor Gokomatsu waved his hand and said: "You can't ask for money."
"It should be given, otherwise why would it be called renting?"
Zhu Xuan insisted on paying, but the rent was still dug out of Shijian Yinshan anyway, and said: "Let's rent it for five years first."
"no problem!"
Emperor Komatsu agreed again, and even felt that Zhu Xuan came here with full sincerity and really wanted to cooperate with them. Although his attitude was a bit arrogant, Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and it is normal to be arrogant.
“Happy to work with!”
Zhu Xuan smiled slightly.
Emperor Gokomatsu echoed: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
When the discussion was almost complete, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also came.
Seeing Emperor Gokomatsu chatting and laughing with Zhu Xuan, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little unhappy. He always felt that Emperor Gokomatsu wanted to escape from the control of their Ashikaga family.
But he quickly changed his expression and walked in with a smile on his face.
"Meet His Highness the Fifth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finished his salute, he asked again: "Excuse me, what are Your Highness and the Emperor talking about?"
He was deeply curious about this.
