"I understand! Please rest assured!"
After Zhang Yuanjue and Ji Jin talked, they took their officers and soldiers to these two cities.
At that time, the Ryuzouji family's Kokura Castle was raining down artillery fire. The Ming Dynasty exported to the Ryuzouji family the first-generation eagle-mounted cannon and the first-generation electronic blunderbuss, as well as the Folang machine-particle cannon. The Toyotomi army was attacking Kokura Castle after landing in a frenzied manner.
A large number of cannons and lead bullets were wildly harvesting the Toyotomi troops outside, causing the armor of many Toyotomi troops to be directly broken, and large holes appeared.
The Toyotomi army could not stand such dense and fast firearms, so they had to retreat temporarily.
The governor of Ryuzoji Temple, Masaika Ryuzoji, was very happy to see this. He said to his general Takahashi Shoun: "The Tang Dynasty firearms exchanged for the land of three towns are really different. Toyotomi's army can't even count a small one." Cangcheng cannot be defeated in one battle, there are so many corpses left in just one day."
"That's what the governor said!"
"It's a pity that the Tang people were only allowed to exchange land for silver dollar coupons, and then use the silver dollar coupons to buy hawkbill cannons and electric muskets. They didn't want us to buy them directly with silver. Otherwise, we could compete with Shimadzu by mining silver mines. male!"
Takahashi Shaoyun replied.
The politician of Ryuzouji Temple nodded: "Yes, it would be a good deal to exchange a city for a lot of firearms for the Tang Dynasty, and then seize several cities from the Toyotomi family."
"This requires the Tang people to allow us to do this."
Takahashi Shaoyun replied.
Ryuzouji Masato said: "So, you go to Nagasaki to meet the Tang Dynasty's Fuyuan and talk to him about this matter."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi outside the city was sullenly asking Hidehisa Sengoku, the general who commanded the battle:
"Didn't you say that Longzao Temple was miserably bullied by the Tang Dynasty? Even the retainers were massacred, and they didn't dare to say a big word. How come they are showing such strong strength now, and their artillery is so sharp!"
Sengoku Hidejiu replied: "I don't understand either. Maybe the Tang people gave him more powerful firearms."
"Scum!"
"I am really a scumbag!"
"He actually didn't hesitate to betray the emperor and become a lackey of the Tang people!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi cursed and gnashed his teeth: "When I take over Kokura Castle, I will kill all the people in Ryuzoji Temple!"
Then, Toyotomi Hideyoshi said: "In addition, send someone to convey my decree to the Tang Emperor Zhu Yijun. If he does not take the initiative to evacuate the Tang people here, once I unify Kyushu, I will kill all the Tang people here, and even in the future I will go directly to the Tang Dynasty and make the men slaves and the women prostitutes!"
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi said this, he looked at a huge statue on the seaside at Kokura Castle Port and asked: "Who is that statue?"
"It's Qi Jiguang from the Tang Dynasty! This is now practiced in Kyushu. It is said to be able to avoid wind and waves and suppress dragons. It was passed down from Nagasaki."
Sengoku Hidehisa replied.
"It's too much. This is to facilitate the assimilation of the Tang people here. When we take over Xiaocang City, we must destroy it!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi said solemnly.
…
Capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Time goes back to the first month of the fifteenth year of Wanli, one day after Zhu Yijun announced his meeting with Qi Jiguang.
Zhu Yijun had just finished dinner at the Queen's place when he saw Zhang Hong walking over quickly: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard has sent a message from the Privy Council to the clerk's office. The Japanese chieftain Toyotomi Hideyoshi has issued an order to exorcise Kyushu and raise an army of 250,000. Come and ask for it.”
Zhu Yijun was slightly startled after hearing this.
He was not very clear about the history of the Japanese and Warring States Periods. He only remembered that the wars between the great names of the Japanese and Warring States Periods were mostly described as village wars.
But he didn't expect that what he actually heard now was that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops to attack Kyushu were actually 250,000.
Of course, there may be moisture in it, but even considering the moisture, it's not considered small scale.
This made Zhu Yijun couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Toyotomi Hideyoshi dared to have the ambition to destroy his own Ming Dynasty in history. His strength should not be underestimated.
"I know!"
"Let the Privy Council confirm the commander-in-chief of sending troops to Japan as soon as possible, and then report to me!"
"It is impossible for me to withdraw the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who have finally moved to Japan, nor can I give up the entire trade income between Nagasaki and Hirado!"
After Zhu Yijun said that, he put on his big cloak and went to Concubine Yang's palace.
On the way there, Zhu Yijun was still thinking about the name "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" in his mind.
He felt that the biggest regret in the war between the Wanli Dynasty and the Japanese in the history of the original Ming Dynasty was that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the leader of the Dongyi who tried to destroy the Ming Dynasty, was not brought to the capital to be cut into pieces.
"Those who want to study medicine come to Tianzifang to sign up."
"Those who want to study gynecology come to Dizifang to register."
"Those who want to study food and drink come to Xuanzifang to sign up."
"I know that before you entered the palace, you were all daughters of innocent families. Many of your fathers were professors of government studies, county teachers, or filial piety students, and supervisors. Your mothers were also such Confucian scholars who could barely read or even quite a few words. Master some medical classics, but since you choose to study with me in order to go further in the harem, or to have a skill when you return home from the palace in the future, you should first accept three months of cultural teaching and wait until the exam. Officially entering the Pan."
"Do you understand?"
When Zhu Yijun came to Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang was talking about the rules to the palace people who came here to sign up to study according to the regulations.
"clear!"
As soon as Concubine Yang finished speaking, she saw Zhu Yijun coming out of the snow, so she hurriedly came over to greet him. The maid, Ms. Jiang, was so panicked that she came out of the back room wiping her mouth.
When Zhu Yijun saw Concubine Yang coming, he smiled and asked, "It's snowing so heavily today, why do people come to sign up?"
"Your Majesty is running the country well, and all industries are prospering. Naturally, everyone is willing to forge ahead, and Jiaofang is no exception."
Concubine Yang said with a smile.
Zhu Yijun suddenly noticed Huang Min staring at him and walked towards her.
Huang Min hurriedly lowered his head, his face as red as a peach.
"You also signed up?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
"Back to your lord, yes!"
Huang Min replied.
Zhu Yijun said: "It doesn't matter if more northerners learn from it, but we can't let southerners compete for the first place in everything."
As Zhu Yijun spoke, he suddenly looked at Mr. Jiang with a stern face: "Why are you wearing my beloved concubine's painted glazed hairpin?"
Mrs. Jiang immediately knelt down and said with a blushing face: "Go back to your Majesty, it was my concubine who rewarded me this morning."
Zhu Yijun looked at Concubine Yang: "How can I, my dear concubine, reward others casually with the things given by the emperor?"
"I don't have it!"
Concubine Yang quickly replied.
"Perhaps the empress has forgotten. Who doesn't know that the empress is generous and kind, and she has always loved giving gifts to her subordinates? All the other promises here can prove it."
Jiang replied.
"Yes, this is a reward from the empress to Mrs. Jiang."
"We all remember it clearly, but your Majesty must have forgotten it."
"Your Majesty always has a lot of things to do, so it is inevitable that she will forget for a while."
…
At this time, several people around Concubine Yang agreed.
Zhu Yijun asked Concubine Yang again: "Have you forgotten, or have you really never rewarded me?"
Concubine Yang said: "I will reward them with some jewelry or something, but this is a gift from the emperor."
"Report to the Emperor!"
At this time, Huang Min knew that Concubine Yang, who did not want to cause trouble, might recognize her, and she had suffered this injustice in vain, so she shouted:
"This slave can testify that Mrs. Jiang is lying. She did not receive this reward at all this morning!"
"Because when the slave came to see her at noon, she did not wear this hairpin on her head! In addition, the hairpin is actually a set of seven colors, because the queen also has one. If you really reward her, you should reward her with a set. If you copy her at this time The residence, and no other colors are found, can prove the slave."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Go and copy it!"
"yes!"
Then, Huang Min added: "In addition, today I saw with my own eyes that Mrs. Jiang forced the empress to eat the succulent cheese that the empress had given to honor the emperor, and forced the empress to reward her. After Dou left, she still secretly demanded it in the name of the empress. We paid her half a month's money for the purchase of pens and ink, but I clearly remember that there are special internal funds for the palace people to study with Concubine Yang."
Jiang's forehead was sweating for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer.
After a while, Tian Yi came over and said, "Go back to your Majesty, there are no other colored glaze hairpins, only a lot of money."
Zhu Yijun then looked at Mr. Jiang: "What is going on?"
Jiang said: "I just want to wear it while the emperor is away. Everyone used to do this. When the emperor is not around, they wear the jewelry of the imperial concubine to decorate themselves. Who would have thought that the emperor would actually come?" I forgot to put it back."
"Then why lie?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Jiang: "I'm afraid that the emperor will blame me."
Zhu Yijun said: "Is it to deceive your empress into not caring about these losses and grievances, so as to force her to suffer this loss?"
Zhu Yijun looked at Huang Min: "You are a person who dares to speak out and has a kind heart. From now on, you will be the best person around the imperial concubine!"
According to the Ming system, Renren is a female official of the third rank, who is responsible for managing everyone and everything around the imperial concubine.
Huang Min couldn't help being stunned, and then kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
