Tokugawa Ieqi and Matsudaira Sadanobu also frowned.
The son of the Ming Emperor was the King of Japan.
this.
This must be the Ming Dynasty's method to control Japan.
"Is this what the Emperor of Heaven means?"
Tokugawa Ieqi took a deep breath and asked.
"Exactly!" Tokugawa Miki looked at Tokugawa Ieki, with a smile on her face, and said: "Brother, in fact, the Emperor of Heaven used New Japan as a condition to exchange for the throne of Japan. In fact, Japan does not suffer. ."
yes.
Japan will definitely not suffer.
Let Zhu Laoliu be the king of Japan.
You can get a new Japan in South America.
This is a really good deal.
And the Tokugawa family continued to be shoguns.
It's such a waste of money.
but.
What's the cost?
The price is the emperor and his family.
The Emperor definitely had nothing to do.
"Where is the emperor?"
Matsudaira Sadanobu couldn't help but asked.
"The Emperor. The Emperor can make him a prince, and he will live in Zhongdu in the future, and the annuity will definitely be higher than those in Japan where the feudal lords offer tribute."
Tokugawa Miki said.
Um.
The emperor didn't suffer either.
He is not an emperor, but he can be a hereditary and irreplaceable prince of the Ming Dynasty, and then he can go to Zhongdu and enjoy the blessings.
Sounds pretty good.
But both Tokugawa Ieqi and Matsudaira Sadanobu knew.
It's not that simple.
It is impossible for the Imperial family to give up the throne so easily.
And the local samurai will definitely take the opportunity to attack.
"No! This is impossible." Matsudaira Sadanobu shook his head repeatedly.
Tokugawa Jiaqi also nodded repeatedly.
yes.
Why should Zhu Laoliu be the king of old and new Japan, even if his father is the Ming Emperor?
The poor samurai in Japan would definitely not agree.
"The Emperor will not agree!" said Tokugawa Ieqi.
"The Emperor? How many guns can the Emperor have?"
Tokugawa Miki sneered.
"He doesn't have many troops now, but as long as the news of deposing the emperor comes out, the forces of the overthrow faction will be shaken!" Matsudaira Sadanobu said.
"My son is not afraid either." Tokugawa Miki lifted Zhu Laoliu in her arms.
"My son is the sixth son of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the general of the Japanese Armed Forces of the Ming Dynasty. He has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. And this time, 30,000 more Japanese warriors will be recruited to supplement the Japanese Armed Forces of the Ming Dynasty, which will be a hundred thousand soldiers!"
"Who in Japan dares to stop us?"
Xie Youren took a breath of cold air.
The Japanese Armed Forces Regiment is very capable of fighting. They fought all the wars in the south.
From the first year of liberation to the fifth year of liberation.
There are more than 30,000 samurai veterans, and now there are another 30,000.
That’s 60,000 soldiers.
Their numbers alone overwhelmed the Japanese feudal lords.
Moreover, this battle cannot only be based on quantity, but also on quality.
Just thank Youren for your observation.
Japan's domestic military has been depleted. Except for a few powerful vassals, even the matchlock gun has not been fully popularized.
It is simply impossible to fight against the Japanese military regiment equipped with advanced Ming-style equipment.
That is to say.
Zhu Laoliu did not just say that he wanted to be the king of Japan.
If the forces within Japan disagree.
Then we have to fight each other.
Of course.
The premise is.
The Tokugawa family must support Zhu Laoliu.
Otherwise, if the Tokugawa shogunate came forward to unite all the vassals in Japan to fight against the Ming Dynasty, this would not be what the Ming Dynasty wanted to see.
That's why Tokugawa Mitsuki had to first obtain the approval of Tokugawa Ieqi and Matsudaira Sadanobu.
"Brother, my son is young and must have lived in Zhongdu before he became an adult. Before that, the Tokugawa family had the final say in Japan, and even if it became a vassal in the future, he would still have to sit in South America and preside over the Ming Dynasty's expansion of South America. ——With the Japanese Armed Forces at his disposal, how could he not be the governor of South America?"
Tokugawa Miki said.
Governor of South America?
This woman is so ambitious
Xie Youren thought.
And the means are also very strong.
Fortunately, her method was not used in the Ming court. Otherwise, neither Queen Luo nor Concubine Shi would be her opponent.
Just when Xie Youren was thinking about it.
Tokugawa Miki looked at Matsudaira Sadanobu again.
"Brother, in the new Japan of South America in the future, the Tokugawa clan can also be allowed to establish branch vassals." She then looked at Matsudaira Sadanobu, "The same is true for the Aizu clan. All the lords who support my son can follow this procedure!"
The fundamental contradiction in Japan is also the contradiction between man and land.
Thirty million people are crowded into a small territory, and the population is denser than that of Han Dynasty.
That's why we are so eager to expand.
Tokugawa Jiaqi and Matsudaira were convinced.
Do they really believe the nonsense that "the emperor is the spokesperson of God on earth"?
It's just that the Tokugawa shogunate was not powerful enough to compete with all the local powerful vassals.
We had no choice but to continue to maintain the dual system of the Japanese imperial court and the Edo shogunate.
Now
There is a chance to break this system and get a lot of benefits.
even
Letting Zhu Laoliu be the king of Japan would definitely be more acceptable to the Tokugawa family - Zhu Laoliu also has the blood of the Tokugawa family.
Not to mention the temptation of New Japan.
Coupled with the powerful force of the Japanese Armed Forces.
As long as the shogunate stands on Zhu Laoliu's side.
It is definitely possible to coerce the emperor and order the princes.
but
The matter of Zhu Laoliu becoming the king of old and new Japan should not be rushed.
So Tokugawa Ieki said.
"The idea of the Sixth Prince becoming the King of the Old and New Japan is too radical. How about the Sixth Prince becoming the King of the New Japan, letting the Emperor abdicate the throne, accepting the canonization, and becoming the King of the Old Japan?"
The Japanese really like to compromise by nature.
A smile appeared on Tokugawa Miki's lips.
"This matter needs to be decided by the Emperor of Japan, but the Emperor of Japan has no ambitions for Japanese territory. He doesn't care if the Emperor is the Tokugawa family or if my son is the King of Japan, because old Japan has no future. Japan’s future lies in New Japan.”
Tokugawa Miki said.
"The key now is how to get the emperor to give in." Matsudaira Sadanobu asked.
"The emperor will give in," Tokugawa Miki said.
Tokugawa Ieqi and Matsudaira Sadanobu were both stunned.
I don’t know how the concubine Dai Ming De in front of me can convince the emperor.
Could it be that diplomats were sent to mediate?
"My son will go to Luo in person to ask the emperor to abdicate."
"Shangluo?!"
The two were shocked.
"It means taking 10,000 veterans of the Japanese Armed Forces Regiment and recruiting 30,000 new Japanese Armed Forces Regiment to form a 40,000-strong army and go to Luo together!"
At the banquet.
Silence fell.
Tokugawa Jiaqi was frightened by the thought of his sister.
Leading troops into Kyoto to force the imperial court
It seems that no one has done such a thing since Ashikaga Takauji! Ashikaga Takauji was accused of being an enemy of the court and was condemned by later generations for hundreds of years. The entire Ashikaga clan has been so tired that even now they can hardly lift their heads.
Now Tokugawa Miki also dares to do such a thing.
Do you want the Tokugawa family to suffer such humiliation?
"The Emperor of Heaven has something to say, history is written by the victors." Seeing no one respond at the banquet, Tokugawa Miki's tone became gloomy.
"Tayama-kun! Let the shogunate see the power of my son!"
Tokugawa Miki said loudly.
"Hi!"
soon!
Tap tap tap!
One after another, warriors from the Japanese Armed Forces of the Ming Dynasty, carrying muskets and wearing red military uniforms, filed in under the leadership of a stocky Japanese officer.
"Brother, what do you think? My son has such a mighty army. Can we go to Luo to invite the Emperor to see it?"
