"As for Ryukyu, order the navy to organize a fleet to take Ryukyu back from the Spanish!"
Zhu Daohua said.
"Your Majesty, after retaking Ryukyu, should you let the King of Ryukyu go back or return it to Satsuma?" Grand Duke Lin asked.
Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said: "Of course, let the King of Ryukyu go back. It is disrespectful for Satsuma and Tibetan to occupy Ryukyu. In addition, the Ming Dynasty fleet will also visit Japan to frighten Japan's ambitious people!"
Emperor Zhu couldn't help but stand up when he said this.
It will be a hidden danger sooner or later if Japan's issues are shelved like this.
After taking Ryukyu back and helping the Ryukyu country recover, it will definitely cause some discussion and opposition in Japan.
Emperor Zhu thought for a while and said: "Japan has a special system. If it wants to claim vassal status against the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese emperor needs to leave the throne and become a god. However, Japan has hundreds of thousands of warriors. If it is forced to become an enemy country, it will be very difficult for the Ming Dynasty. The colonization of North America is going to be very bad."
There must be a lot of Western influences infiltrating Japan now.
Because under the Chinese system in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Only Japan has not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between the two countries seems to be very harmonious, but in fact it is just a close relationship between the Zhu Ming royal family and the Tokugawa family.
As for Japan and Ming Dynasty.
There are still inevitable conflicts of interest between the two countries.
Especially in Japan, there are many young samurai who have some ambitions after opening their eyes and seeing the world.
Facing the unprecedented changes in this millennium.
There is a turmoil in Japan.
This is also understandable.
Old Summer Palace, Emperor Zhu's palace.
Emperor Zhu was wearing a white nightgown casually draped over his body.
It wasn't buttoned up or anything like that.
His strong physique is clearly visible.
Emperor Zhu has just turned thirty this year.
This is when physical condition reaches its peak.
In addition, I also pay great attention to physical training.
Either fencing, horse riding, or playing with traditional bows and arrows. Recently, I also like riding bicycles. With enough good steel, bicycles have also been manufactured. .
In other words, it is hand-made - the price is of course very, very expensive.
However, Emperor Zhu liked riding bicycles in his previous life. After the bicycle was manufactured and he did not have to travel far to work in the Old Summer Palace, Emperor Zhu gave up riding horses and carriages and started riding bicycles by himself.
I cycle to and from Qinzheng Hall and Taihe Hall every day.
It can be said that the amount of exercise is very sufficient.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu now maintains a very well-proportioned body and looks full of energy.
at this time.
By Emperor Zhu's side.
Tokugawa Miki, who was also wearing a white nightgown, was lovingly pulling up Emperor Zhu's long hair and combing her hair into a bun.
Tokugawa Miki is now over 20 years old.
Ripe like a soft, dripping peach.
After exercising just now, his face was still slightly rosy due to his fast heartbeat.
This concubine was also a major contributor to the growth of the Ming Dynasty's royal family in the past five years - she gave birth to four children in five years, three of which were princesses, and it was only in the fourth that she gave birth to a little prince.
Named Zhu Yizhen.
Now he is being carried away by the nanny to feed him.
And after giving birth to four babies.
Tokugawa Miki's figure is not out of shape either - well, it's not like she's not out of shape either, it's plump, it's a lot plumper, but Emperor Zhu just likes the plump taste.
So although I have been with Emperor Zhu for five years.
He hasn't fallen out of favor yet.
"Man Ji, you have to go back to Japan in a few days." Emperor Zhu said.
"Why? I just want to stay with the emperor and not go anywhere." Tokugawa Miki looked at Emperor Zhu and said with a pout.
Emperor Zhu turned around and took her into his arms, touching Tokugawa Miki's hair and feeling its richness.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he said: "The atmosphere in Japan is a bit abnormal. Some people in the Kyoto court colluded with powerful vassals to rebel, and some local powerful vassals also colluded with Westerners. The British sent envoys to Kyoto, and I don't know if they have met some in the past few days. who."
"There are forces in Japan who want to overthrow the shogunate. This is absolutely impossible!"
Emperor Zhu's words stunned Tokugawa Manji.
She had heard a little bit about this matter, but she did not mention it to Emperor Zhu.
There is no big taboo in the new Ming Dynasty that the harem cannot be involved in political affairs.
Because everyone acts according to the rules of Mingli, as long as they don't break the rules and know some things in the court, it's not a big deal.
The reason why Tokugawa Miki didn't mention this matter in Emperor Zhu's ears was because she thought that the Ming Emperor might support the Kyoto court and use the Kyoto court to check and balance the shogunate a little.
The art of balancing has been a common method used by big countries to influence the political affairs of small countries since ancient times.
In addition, Tokugawa Miki is also worried that if she cares about Japan, it will have a bad impact on herself and her children.
But I didn't expect it.
Emperor Zhu will take the initiative to mention it.
He even unequivocally supported the Tokugawa family.
Tokugawa Miki thought for a moment and then asked: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do when you ask me to go to Japan?"
Emperor Zhu caressed the softness and said: "Japan is independent from China, but its connection with China cannot be severed. If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid there will be no trouble in the future."
"Does the Emperor want the Emperor of Japan to abdicate the throne and become a minister?" Tokugawa Miki asked.
"Aren't you surprised by this?" Emperor Zhu lowered his head and saw Tokugawa Miki's unsurprised expression.
For the first time, he looked squarely at this Tokugawa woman.
She seems to be more than just an emperor's vase placed in the Ming Palace.
Under this soft appearance, what Emperor Zhu saw was disdain and deep-seated contempt for the Japanese Emperor - as a Japanese, he actually had no respect for the Japanese Emperor.
"The Emperor of Japan has been in the line of Japan for many generations, and there has never been any attempt by foreign ministers to usurp the throne. If I ask the Emperor of Japan to abdicate from the throne and become a god, how can it not cause turmoil?" Emperor Zhu said.
"Your Majesty, as long as you think about it, Japan will be the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty." Tokugawa Mitsuki sat up straight and said.
"I heard that the emperor wants to entrust the princes in North America?"
"I do have this idea." Emperor Zhu said.
Tokugawa Miki hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, would you agree to find Yi Zin'er a position as the king of Japan?"
"Let Lao Liu be the king of Japan?!"
Emperor Zhu was stunned for a moment.
Then he frowned.
"No, no, no, Lao Liu is my prince, how can I have anything to do with the King of Japan?"
Emperor Zhu shook his head and said.
Tokugawa Miki stood up and said: "Your Majesty, as long as the emperor abdicates, you can make the Tokugawa family the king of Japan, and then let my father pass the throne to me, and I will pass the title of king of Japan to Yi Zin'er. Is it done?”
Emperor Zhu frowned when he heard this.
Politics is never that simple.
Do you want the prince of the Zhu family to be the king of Japan?
There will be many opponents.
In order to find a position for her son as the king of a great country, Tokugawa Miki was really the only mother in the world.
