The Japanese were originally short, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that a large number of Japanese girls were sent to Taizhou to "borrow seeds", and their height improved slightly. But even so, by the Ming Dynasty, the average height was still only a little over one meter.
As for the Japanese royal family, because they rarely intermarry with foreign surnames, they are even shorter than ordinary Japanese people in terms of height. This Prince Huai Liang, Zhu Su looked around, could barely reach one meter. With such a short winter melon, do you dare to say that I am a child with a yellow mouth?
Don't take a pee first to see what kind of virtue you have!
Prince Huailiang was not very proficient in Chinese, and it took him a long time to fully understand Zhu Su's long sentence. The short old man had been feeling inferior about his height for a long time. He suddenly shouted "Baga!" and reached out to touch the handle of the knife.
"Your Majesty the Prince! If you want to draw a sword against the prince of the Ming Dynasty, are you trying to make the Japanese country bear the thunderous wrath of His Majesty the Emperor?" Fujiwara shouted quickly.
"Even Dayuan was killed by my warriors in Yamato. So what about the Ming Dynasty, can it be stronger than Dayuan?" Prince Huairiang said wildly.
Zhu Su's expression became even more contemptuous. This short guy spoke so confidently, but he even lost his face. The reason why Dayuan failed twice was because he encountered a typhoon. Does it have anything to do with the so-called "Yamato Warriors" you call him?
Seeing that the Japanese were about to attack His Highness, behind Zhu Su, the accompanying Ming army elites had already raised their guns, and the black muzzles were pointed at the Japanese warriors in front of them, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment. Seeing that Prince Huairiang still wanted to draw his sword, Fujiwara said loudly: "It is His Majesty's will to invite reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom. Prince Huairiang, are you going to overstep the mark?"
Huai Liang was startled, with a tangled look on his face. After a while, he put the half-drawn Japanese sword into its sheath. Although he was indeed deliberately provoking, his original intention was to provoke the Ming people to take action first, so that he could justifiably let his men kill them here. In this way, Emperor Changqing could do nothing to him.
But the prince of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was not irritated at all. Instead, he had a joking look on his face, and he was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
Moreover, although the "iron rods" held by the Ming soldiers did not look sharp, for some reason, they made the hairs on their backs stand up.
All in all, you can't do it yourself first here.
"...Hmph, let's go!" Huairiang sheathed his sword, glared at Fujiwara fiercely, and simply took his people and left the place. As soon as he left, a large number of people cheered and cheered at Nuoda Pier. Zhu Su originally thought that these Japanese people were here to greet him, but now that he thought about it, most of these guys were coming with bad intentions, so they wanted to irritate him and block all the Ming Dynasty visitors on the dock to ambush them.
"Your Highness... I didn't receive you well..." It seemed that he had just realized Huairang's sinister intentions. At this time, Fujiwara was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He urged Zhu Su: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. Your Highness, please follow me and go to a safe place to talk."
"Yes." Zhu Su nodded, and then he and Mu Ying left 4,500 Ming troops to guard the fleet, while he led 500 people into the city. In order not to scare the Japanese emperor, Zhu Su felt that 500 people entering the city was enough. But even so, these five hundred people were still an incredible force in the eyes of the Japanese. Along the way, civilians kept kneeling down from a distance to greet their "big names". When the samurai on the road saw these people, He also showed a horrified and alert look.
"By the way, where is Mr. Gao?" Zhu Su suddenly remembered something. As far as he knew, Gao Qi was in the "Yoshino" city ahead at this time. In this case, based on his understanding, Gao Qi should welcome his arrival at the dock no matter what.
"Master Gao... Master Gao is feeling a little unwell..." Fujiwara looked a little strange. "Your Highness, don't be anxious. The villain is going to lead Your Highness to Gao Xianshi's mansion now."
Zhu Su was still on guard to see if there was something strange about Fujiwara, but after entering the city, he led him to a mansion with a plaque of "Gaofu" hanging on it. This mansion is different from other houses. It obviously has a strong Su Song courtyard style. In this kind of place, only Gao Qi can build a house like this. Zhu Su's suspicion suddenly disappeared.
When he entered the house and saw Gao Qi, Zhu Su's remaining suspicion instantly turned into anger: he saw Gao Qi lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, and he looked like he was about to die soon. When he saw Zhu Su, he struggled to greet him, with a joyful expression on his face: "Your Highness, ahem, Your Highness, you are finally here!"
"Grass people, common people, pay homage to His Highness the King of Wu of our homeland..."
"Mr. Gao!" Zhu Su quickly stepped forward, and Mu Ying supported Gao Qi who got up to greet him. Only then did he realize that Gao Qi's body was faintly bloody. The room also smelled of soup and blood, and he suddenly looked at Fujiwara with murderous intent: "Fujiwara, Mr. Gao, what's going on?"
When he sent Gao Qi and Yao Guangxiao to Japan, he had asked Fujiwara, the landowner, to ensure the safety of these two Ming Dynasty talents. Unexpectedly, Gao Qi was seriously injured when we met today. Could it be that Fujiwara has betrayed him again?
"Your Highness, please don't blame Fujiwara-san. I'll tell Your Highness the cause and effect directly." Gao Qi stopped Zhu Su, rescued the shivering Fujiwara, and then told Zhu about his experience in a short and precise manner. Sober.
It turned out that since he landed in Japan a few years ago and separated from Yao Guangxiao, Gao Qi followed the plan discussed with Zhu Su and used Fujiwara's status as a minister and a Ming Dynasty scholar to get close to Emperor Changqing of the Southern Dynasty of Japan.
Although the Japanese people are rebellious, they have always admired Chinese culture. Since the Battle of Baijiangkou a hundred years ago, after being beaten violently by the Tang Dynasty, Gao Qi has become a god to the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Qi was originally a Chinese talent, and he was very good at reciting poems and writing poems. He was also from the Ming Dynasty, and he was obviously different from the Japanese. different.
Therefore, she quickly became popular in the Japanese country and became a famous "social butterfly" in the southern dynasties of the Japanese country. She was also valued by the emperor, who regarded her as a staff member.
At the same time, with Fujiwara's efforts, Zhu Su's version of "The Origin of Japan" was also widely spread in Japan through Gao Qi's influence. At the beginning, there were many knowledgeable people in the Japanese country who refuted this statement. But for some reason, they searched through Japanese documents and materials, and the more they searched, the more they discovered that their ancestors, like the Japanese, were really inseparable from China.
Xu Fu, the alchemist of the Qin Dynasty, looked like the "Emperor Jinmu" of his Japanese country.
As for the ancestors of people like myself, after thinking about it, it is really possible that they were the boys and girls brought by Xu Fu!
Zhu Su also didn't expect that he was just talking nonsense at the beginning. After Gao Qi's improvement and the Japanese people themselves contributed to the "origin theory" of the Ming Dynasty, this theory actually took root in the Japanese country and became more and more unbreakable. Coupled with Fujiwara's exaggerated exaggeration of the prosperity of the Celestial Dynasty, more and more nobles joined the "Chinming Faction", eager to return to their ancestral homeland and become noble "Tang people", no longer a barbarian in a borderland. With this, Fujiwara's power in the Southern Dynasties also grew stronger, and he became one of the most important people in power in the Southern Dynasty court.
However, this is of no use. Because in the Southern Dynasties, there was another force that controlled military power, the "Huai Liang Sect". And looking at the Japanese country as a whole, the situation in the Southern Dynasties has long been declining.
On the contrary, the Northern Dynasty, controlled by the shogun Ashikaga clan, was prospering. Moreover, not many people in the Northern Dynasties believed in this so-called "origin theory."
