There are more than eight miles of road, whether it is far or near. Matsudaira Takemoto was chatting with the coach driver at various times along the way, asking about the doubts in his heart, and the driver tried his best to answer Matsudaira Takemoto's questions.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, they arrived at the "Royal Mall". The chat process was very relaxed. When it was time to get off the bus, Takemoto Matsudaira still had some unfinished thoughts, but after thinking about it, he still got off the bus without hesitation.
It is said that seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times. No matter how much he heard the handlebar talk, it was still not as real as meeting him himself.
After getting off the car, a majestic palace-like building immediately caught the eye of Takemoto Matsudaira. Looking up, he saw four huge words "Royal Mall" hanging above the tall and wide entrance.
The shock is beyond words.
The momentum was so majestic that it made Takemoto Matsudaira, one of the most respected Japanese veterans and a great figure in the country, feel ashamed for a while.
He thought he had also seen the Tokugawa shogunate and the emperor's residence, but he felt that they were not as good as this royal shopping mall.
"It can be so big. How many people can be integrated into it? Is this China? It is worthy of the word 'royal' of the Central Plains court. It is also worthy of the word 'mall'." At this time, Matsudaira Takemoto did not Noticing his gaffe, he subconsciously muttered to himself.
Tanaka Hanaki, who was also shocked, also exclaimed: "Yes! Sir. This is really too big. The shops on the street in our Edo Castle are not as big as it, and it is so high. It takes a lot of time to build this No matter how much you earn, it doesn’t matter how much you can earn in one day.”
"It has only been more than five years since the founding of the Yi Dynasty. When the Tartars occupied this place, it was still poor. Now it is so prosperous. If the Yi Dynasty is allowed to develop stably for a few more years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely be defeated. The center of the world will surely will return to the hands of the Han again, so how should my path to Japan go?" At this moment, Takemoto Matsudaira did not continue Tanaka Hagi's gossip, but was secretly thinking about Japan's next path in his heart.
"In any case, the Yi Dynasty cannot be allowed to continue to develop, otherwise we will no longer have the opportunity to get involved in this area, and may even have to surrender to China forever."
"No, we were not afraid of the powerful Ming Dynasty in the past. How can a newly risen Ming Dynasty still make us bend down? It is said that there are three pillars. Since none of the countries here can fight, then I, Japan, should be the first. Three legs.”
"We formed an alliance with the Manchu and Qing court. They sent troops on land and we sent troops to the sea disguised as pirates to harass. One plus one outweighed two, and jointly contained the rise of the Han people. After the Yi Dynasty is exhausted, we Japan rises, and the Aixinjueluo family will not be able to Worth to talk about."
Seeing that Takemoto Matsudaira didn't answer, Tanaka Hamu was unmoved, and immediately turned his attention to other places, pointing at the women traveling to and from the Royal Mall and said: "Sir, look, there are many beautiful girls. "
Hearing the sound, Takemoto Matsudaira also retracted his thoughts and looked at where Tanaka Hamu was pointing.
At this time, the women visiting the Royal Mall wore their best clothes and tried their best to show off their beauty.
Especially after Zhang Rui abolished the illegal color policy, the latest Han dress has changed the monotony of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty. Not only the color is more colorful, but the design also breaks through the traditional design model that restricts women. The body is streamlined and beautiful.
Of course, these also attracted opposition from some old diehards, but they had nothing to do with a new emperor who had real power and active thinking. In the end, they could only shout in private: It smells good.
"Hey, Tanaka, you have a good eye. This land is really nurturing, and the flower girl is really beautiful. The clothes are also very beautiful, much prettier than those in our palace." Matsudaira Takemoto immediately said with a squinting smile.
"Perhaps, this is a good test." Suddenly, Takemoto Matsudaira felt that he had found the next direction.
"Sir, how about I catch you and take him to bed later?" Tanaka Hamu immediately showed a flattering smile.
Matsudaira Takemoto didn't say anything, but the smile on his face became stronger. Tanaka Hagi immediately said I understand, and Matsudaira Takemoto stopped him in a rare move.
"Why, sir. Don't you want to?" Tanaka Hamu asked puzzledly.
"No, this is not Japan. It's better to keep a low profile." Takemoto Matsudaira immediately expressed his worries.
"Understood, then wait until you return to the hall safely. I will go out quietly." Tanaka Hamu replied.
At this time, Matsudaira Takemoto showed his original meaningful smile again, which was regarded as acquiescing to this matter.
At this time, all the Japanese nobles were learning and using Chinese characters. When they were learning, they would naturally understand the pronunciation, so they had no big problem using Chinese characters for the most basic communication in China, so Matsudaira Takemoto naturally did not need translation.
But after entering the mall, many things I saw along the way were unheard of. In the end, he paid for a translator, and only then did he get answers to his questions one by one.
The most shocking event for Matsudaira Takemoto was when he saw Zhang Rui's statue of "The Emperor Guards the Four Directions", and the people showed their love for Zhang Rui.
Even some children play games and say that when they grow up, they will join the army, follow the emperor and defeat all enemies, and no longer let the barbarians bully us.
An emperor could achieve heartfelt support from the people, and Matsudaira Takemoto was really frightened. Even the Emperor of Japan, who has been a member of the divine clan for thousands of years, is nothing more than a decoration at this time.
There is courage and strategy, martial arts can mount a horse to determine the world, and literature can bring peace to the world with pen. If such a person were a shogun, Matsudaira Takemoto felt that he could laugh out of his dreams. But if it is a potential enemy, then you can only destroy him at all costs.
With all these things in his mind, Takemoto Matsudaira couldn't even remember how he came back all the way back. So much so that the fact that Tanaka Yumu went out to help him kidnap beautiful women for his sexual pleasure was all forgotten.
It wasn't until Shinai Nobukata came to inform him that his bodyguard, Tanaka Hagi, was shot dead on the spot by the people of the Yi Dynasty for resisting arrest because he went out privately to rob a woman from the Yi Dynasty, and his body was also brought back, did he finally remember This issue.
Seeing the cold body of this practical subordinate who was very close to him on weekdays, Matsudaira Takemoto felt extremely angry.
As the saying goes, beat the dog to see its master. Even though the other party knew his identity, he still killed him, and Ming Dynasty did not take Japan seriously.
"Tanaka, you can go in peace. I won't let you die in vain." Matsudaira Takemoto said to Tanaka Hamu secretly.
