Qi Biaojia had arrived in Nagasaki at this time.
However, when he came to Nagasaki, he didn't feel like he had left China.
Because everyone here wears Hanfu, everyone here speaks Chinese, and the names of the rows of shops all use Chinese characters.
Qi Biaojia discovered that the buildings here began to be dominated by Ming-style gardens on a large scale.
Therefore, Nagasaki Governor Zhang Youyu also said to Qi Biaojia: "Yagawa, Yokohama, Osaka and other places have also begun to popularize the architecture of this dynasty. Before that, the Tang style was popular in Japan."
Qi Biaojia nodded: "It seems that our influence in all aspects of the Japanese country is strengthening."
"This is natural. The Nagasaki area is no different from China. Several Japanese vassals in the surrounding area have also begun to prevail in the style of our Han family."
As Zhang Youyu spoke, he asked, "Mr. Qi must have other edicts to convey when he comes to Nagasaki this time?"
Qi Biaojia smiled: "Zhang Dutang is indeed smart. Yes, I am here for one thing only."
"What's the matter?"
"Destroy the Japanese!"
Zhang Youyu was stunned in place after hearing this.
Zhu Yousong and Zhu Yihai, who came with Zhang Youyu to greet Qi Biaojia, couldn't help but look at each other.
None of them thought that the imperial court had the intention to destroy the Japanese.
But after thinking about it, everyone felt that it was reasonable for the court to do this.
"This matter can be dealt with gradually and should not be rushed. The Japanese have been independent from China for a long time and already have their own civilization. If they want to destroy their country, they must destroy their civilization first!"
Zhang Youyu said something first.
Qi Biaojia nodded: "The Holy Spirit's intention is to support the shogunate and prevent its power from returning to the emperor. In addition, we should seek independence for each place as much as possible and suppress powerful vassals."
"Your Majesty is indeed wise!"
"In the opinion of the following officials, the key point of destroying the Japanese is to deny the status of the emperor, and to make the Japanese shogunate give up serving the emperor as the main body, and instead serve the Ming Dynasty. If the shogunate does not obey, new daimyo should be cultivated to replace the current shogunate, and the emperor will be replaced in the future. After the shogunate is abandoned, it can be used to instigate the shogunate to fight with powerful vassals in various places to weaken the Japanese country, and finally replace the shogunate and the daimyo of various places with exiled officials."
Zhang Youyu said.
"Now there are many daimyo in the Japanese country who are planning to overthrow the existing shogunate because they are dissatisfied with the weakness shown by the shogunate in front of our empire. Here, the Satsuma clan wants to replace the existing shogunate because they are dissatisfied with the shogunate's performance. I am dissatisfied with the fact that I catered to China and prevented it from invading Ryukyu."
Zhu Yousong spoke at this time.
After hearing this, Qi Biaojia asked: "Who are the big names who support the shogunate, how many of them are there, and what are their common origins."
"The people around Yanagawa and Edo support the shogunate. Although they don't occupy a large number, they are very powerful. They all have trade relations with our empire. With the support of the shogunate, they are responsible for assisting our merchants in doing business there. These big names are often related to Li Guozhu and other maritime merchants living here have close relations with each other."
Zhu Yousong replied.
After hearing this, Qi Biaojia couldn't help but said: "It seems that these people are what Your Majesty calls the Japanese compradors."
"This description is quite appropriate. Those daimyo who did not have a deep relationship with the shogunate or were excluded by the shogunate did not have the opportunity to do business with us, so naturally they did not have the opportunity to become compradors, and their industries were impacted by our products. We cannot survive, so we asked the shogunate to ban trade with us and reduce taxes. Naturally, the shogunate was unwilling to do it, and we were not willing to let the shogunate do this, so these daimyo became more and more dissatisfied with the shogunate."
Zhang Youyu followed.
"We must strengthen the comprador power of Japan, let the shogunate open more trading ports for us, and let our products become a stepping stone to intervene in the internal battles of Japan! And distribute some benefits to these compradors, so that Japan will gradually lose the ability to produce new firearms and smelt them by themselves. New steel and other abilities! What do you think?"
Qi Biaojia said.
"Very true!"
Zhang Youyu and others nodded.
But then, Zhang Youyu took the initiative and asked: "Can the imperial court bet on both sides and secretly contact the Japanese daimyo who support the emperor or the Satsuma clan? In case the shogunate is really overthrown in the future, the new Japanese lord will not buy us. Account."
After hearing this, Qi Biaojia looked at Zhang Youyu in surprise: "This idea can be proposed to the imperial court, but no matter who becomes the leader of the Japanese country in the future, he must be our comprador! Paving the way for the future destruction of the Japanese!" "
"This is natural."
Zhu Yihai replied at this time and added: "My current identity is the Confucian envoy, responsible for contacting the monks and scholar-officials among the Japanese. I wonder if I can contact the scholar-officials who are trying to improve the Japanese country, so that I can find a few who are willing to join me in the Ming Dynasty. And the upstarts of the Japanese country who betrayed their own people in the process of improving the Japanese country?"
"That's a good idea. It's suitable for a Confucian envoy like you who doesn't have a regular job."
Qi Biaojia strongly agreed.
"I have already made friends with the last person. This person is the son of a retainer of the shogunate. His name is Junsheng Kozaku. His father is responsible for the business dealings between the shogunate and our empire. He is mainly responsible for the procurement and dumping of porcelain, as well as the procurement and dumping of arms. He is considered a comprador. Naturally, he He is the son of a comprador and has been deeply influenced by Chinese. He has been educated in Confucianism since elementary school. Now he has changed his name to Wen Ru. He believes that the Japanese country can only become stronger by sinicizing it. Although his purpose of doing this is to make the Japanese country stronger, he can be used to make it stronger. I want to guide him to gradually become the spokesperson for the interests of our dynasty in Japan through the idea of making Japan stronger through sinicization."
Zhu Yihai said at this time.
"Zhu Ru?"
Qi Biaojia laughed and asked, "Why did he give himself the Han surname Zhu?"
"He worshiped Zhu Zi, so he wanted to share the surname of the saint."
Zhu Yihai replied.
"I would like to meet him."
Qi Biaojia then said something else.
"He will preach his Confucian theory on the forum of our Guangda Confucian Society. When the time comes, Qi Gong will be able to see him."
Zhu Yihai said.
…
"Chinese characters are the only words in the world that can effectively express the meaning of the text! Therefore, Confucianism, as the way to win the world, emerged in China, which is based on Chinese characters, not in Japan! If Japan wants to get rid of ignorance and move towards the light, it must be Sinicized Reform, promote Confucianism, and abandon the existing Japanese language..."
Zhu Ru spoke passionately on the stage.
Although his purpose of doing this was actually to make the Japanese country stronger and no longer lag behind the Ming Dynasty, the Han officials who listened to him still found it interesting.
Qi Biaojia even said: "In the past, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and promoted Hanization, which made the Northern Wei Dynasty strong. Now Mr. Zhu wants to promote Hanization in the Japanese country, which is quite like Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
"I don't dare. I am no more than a scholar. How dare I compare with the emperor."
Zhu Ru replied.
But Qi Biaojia said: "Some things are difficult to say."
Zhu Ru didn't know what Qi Biaojia meant by saying this.
However, at this moment, the Japanese Confucian scholar Ito Jinsai who came to listen to the lecture suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "This is inappropriate. Although Confucianism should be regarded as the orthodox school in the world, we, the Japanese country, have our own culture. How can we If we can abandon writing and directly Chineseize it, will our Japanese clan, Yamato, still be Yamato?!"
