For Tokugawa Miki.
Zhu Yizhen was her heartthrob, and of course she was reluctant to let him go thousands of miles away to become the king of North America.
I heard that the place was a barbaric land, and the indigenous people were Indian nomadic tribes similar to the Mongols.
Go there and be king.
Wouldn’t it mean that I have to deal with my scalp for the rest of my life?
And she really felt that it would be better to let the powerful feudal lords, shogunate, emperor and other forces in Japan compete with each other.
It’s better to let Zhu Yizhen become the king of Japan!
First of all, Zhu Yixin has the blood of the Tokugawa family - the Tokugawa family also has the blood of the emperor.
So when he came to be the king of Japan, he actually gave the samurai in Japan a chance to step down.
This is called not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but loyal to the Emperor.
Secondly, if Zhu Yizhen is the king, there will definitely be no such thing as the shogunate forcing the vassal to maintain the government - he is the son of the great emperor, how can he be bullied by the samurai in Japan?
In this way, wouldn't Japan's institutional problems be solved smoothly?
Secondly, Japan’s other problems come from outside.
With the rise of Ming Dynasty.
All the surrounding countries followed the Ming rites and became vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
Enjoying the treatment of a vassal state in trade.
Surrounding the core of the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding vassal states also benefited a lot from the suzerain-vassal trade.
Moreover, with the protection of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal states have saved a lot of military expenses, which can make the people more prosperous.
In fact, many Japanese vassals relied on trade to supplement their finances.
The current situation is that Ming Dynasty and surrounding countries have formed a "free trade zone".
The industrial products of the Ming Dynasty, agricultural products, rubber, gems, etc. of various vassals all flowed in this "free trade zone".
Japan was excluded - although the Ming Dynasty had a very close relationship with Japan's Tokugawa Shogunate, because Japan was not a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, they were excluded from this system.
This has resulted in Japan’s traditional maritime trade products being squeezed out of the market.
The financial situation of vassals such as Satsuma and Choshu was greatly affected by this.
In the final analysis, all political issues can be answered in the issue of interests.
The Tokugawa family consolidated its position by exporting samurai to fight, while other lords shrank in the process.
One goes down and the other goes up.
It is normal for the southwestern vassals to begin to seek changes.
As for Zhu Daohua.
Of course, he knew that the abnormal political system in Japan was a constraint on the country - that's why he clearly supported the shogunate.
As long as the shogunate remains in power.
This country with a population of 30 million cannot be tough.
In this way, Emperor Zhu could slowly cut his flesh and gain benefits through his close relationship with the shogunate, including recruiting Japanese samurai for foreign wars, and leasing Japan's eastern ports on the Pacific Ocean.
His previous purpose of sending Tokugawa Miki to Japan was to expand the size of the Japanese Armed Forces and send more energetic Japanese who had nowhere to vent to the battlefield, so that the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate could be stable.
But now Tokugawa Miki actually wants to seek a position as the king of Japan for her son.
It was beyond Emperor Zhu's expectation - in fact, Emperor Zhu's understanding of Japan was limited to some limited knowledge gained from cartoons and action movies.
His fear of this country came more from the tragic war that lasted fourteen years.
Emperor Zhu thought for a while and decided not to oppose Tokugawa Miki's efforts.
And he also gave Tokugawa Mitsuki strong support.
After all, Zhu Yizhen is also his son.
If Lao Liu becomes the king of Japan, then it will be a matter of course for Japan to join the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Then the international order of the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia will be completely established, without any gaps.
At that time, the real Chinese race will unite to fight against the loose Germanic people in Western Europe.
Although Tokugawa Miki's method sounds a bit ridiculous.
But no matter how ridiculous it is, if there is enough power to support it.
That's not without the possibility of success.
Zhu Daohua thought of this and said: "You cannot become the king of Japan just by virtue of your status as the son of the great emperor and the grandson of the Tokugawa family."
Although Japan is a country that attaches great importance to bloodlines, in order to maintain the "purity" of bloodlines, the imperial family relationship can have very hard-core orthopedics.
So many crooked melons and cracked dates.
"To be the King of Japan, and to be the King of Japan with real power, Lao Liu cannot rely on blood." Emperor Zhu stood up, "You must rely on strength!"
"Where does strength come from?" Tokugawa Miki couldn't help but ask with expectation.
She knew that the man in front of her was the most powerful and powerful emperor in the world.
The country he ruled was so vast and powerful that the entire European countries combined might not be able to defeat the Ming Empire.
so.
Can Yi Zin'er be the king of Japan?
In her opinion, the emperor's father's father's love is too much.
"From the Japanese Armed Forces!"
Emperor Zhu said.
"I will make Lao Liu the general of the Japanese Armed Forces. In the future, I will also find a fertile land in South America as his fiefdom in his name. The area of this fiefdom will be larger than the entire Japan and larger than There is a lot of cultivated land in Japan! It’s enough to entrust a large number of Japanese samurai!”
Zhu Daohua was thinking about the map of South America.
Argentina’s La Plana plain is very suitable.
As a general of the Japanese Armed Forces, he has enough land interests to support him--of course, this land must be conquered by the Japanese Armed Forces themselves.
In the future, North America will belong to the Ming Dynasty, and South America will naturally become the Eastern countries that follow the Ming Dynasty in fighting - otherwise, all the benefits will be taken away by the Ming Dynasty, and then the younger brothers below will not have the energy to do things, and on the other hand, they will not have much loyalty.
Any relationship must be maintained by interests.
Emperor Zhu knew this very well.
Following the Ming Dynasty, you can eat meat.
Only then will people follow you loyally. There is no such thing as love and hate for no reason in this world.
Moreover, with such a large population in the Ming Dynasty, the colonies of various vassals in the Americas will also be open to each other in the future.
Just rely on the population of Ming Dynasty.
These colonies will also be the land of the Han family in the future!
When Tokugawa Miki heard this, her eyes became even more affectionate.
This is truly a father's love.
The Japanese Armed Forces Regiment can be said to be the most capable Japanese armed force at present!
If this Corps belongs to Zhu Yizhen.
There is no Japanese force that can physically oppose Zhu Yizhen.
And there is the temptation of enfeoffing South America.
A huge number of Japanese samurai will not object to Zhu Yizhen becoming the king of Japan - because when the sixth son of the Zhu family becomes the king of Japan, he will bring a piece of fertile land larger than Japan as a bride price for marrying Japan.
