"The little king is really scared. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is actually willing to send a prince here. And this prince is still so young. It is true that a hero comes from a young age..." Emperor Changqing's Chinese is actually very standard. It seems that the Japanese country Royal education also attaches great importance to.
Moreover, this person did not show any resistance to Zhu Su's "wild words" just now. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and called himself "Little King", without the arrogance and domineering appearance that Japanese people usually have. This made Zhu Su have a higher opinion of the Japanese emperor's character.
"There's no need to flatter me... Your place is so boring, and I don't want to stay for a moment longer." Despite his high opinion, Zhu Su didn't have his own plans. When he was at the dock, he deliberately looked extremely arrogant, and once he landed, he confronted Prince Huailiang. At this time, he was also pretending to be an arrogant second generation ancestor, looking down on the Japanese country and Emperor Changqing with contempt. "Your Japanese government is not strict, which has led to Japanese pirates running rampant in our Ming Dynasty. My father has long been dissatisfied. Hearing that your country now has rebellious ministers causing trouble, it is understandable to be reluctant."
"Now I am leading my troops across the sea to help you pacify the rebellious ministers in the country. You must know your kindness, do you understand?"
"Xiao Wang understands." Emperor Changqing nodded with a respectful look on his face. "The Japanese country will never forget the kindness of heaven."
"Yes." This guy was actually quite cooperative. Zhu Su nodded pretending to be arrogant: "But I, Da Ming, can help you without conditions."
"First, your Japanese country must respect me, the Ming Dynasty, as its master, and pay tribute from generation to generation without interruption."
"Secondly, we need to restrain the Japanese pirates from your country and not to enter our Ming Dynasty territory. If not, our Ming Dynasty soldiers will arrive soon, and you, the Japanese king, are the only ones to ask."
"Third, your country needs to change its name from 'Japan' and call it 'Japan'. The king must not arrogantly call himself the emperor. He should wear the robe of the Ming Dynasty king as his uniform. On the birthday of the emperor, he needs to send people to congratulate him..."
Zhu Su spoke eloquently and stated a lot of conditions that Ming Dynasty asked Japan to fulfill. In short, we want the Japanese to be respectful and respectful to the Ming Dynasty.
But taken together, it's just a matter of face.
Emperor Changqing agreed one by one, feeling proud. I have long heard that the emperors of the Central Plains are all vain, and as long as they are willing to become ministers, it will be of great benefit.
It's just a false promise. After recognizing his status as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, he can invite the army of the Ming Dynasty to come to help... This prince is young and weak, and he seems to be just a reckless person with no heart. By underestimating the Japanese country in this way, isn’t it just a matter of taking advantage of it?
Seeing Emperor Changqing's agreement one by one, Zhu Su nodded with satisfaction. As if he didn't want to stay here any longer, Zhu Su stood up and said, "In that case, we are done talking."
"After our Ming army has rested for a few days, we will capture the shogun named Ashikaga for you and help you restore your territory."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. No need to see you off." After saying that, he raised his legs and left.
"His Royal Highness, stay!" Emperor Changqing quickly stopped him. "Capture Ashikaga? Could it be that Shangguo is unwilling to help Xiao Wang deal with Huairiang and regain power?" He was a little surprised.
His Highness, the fifth prince of the Ming Dynasty, is either a bad guy or too arrogant. As far as he knew, Ming Dynasty sent only 5,000 people this time. A mere five thousand people actually wanted to conquer the Northern Dynasty and capture the shogun?
Were all the warriors in the Northern Dynasties stupid?
"Isn't the rebellious minister you call Ashikaga?" Zhu Su also asked in surprise. "When I came here, I only heard that there was a traitor in your country who overstepped the authority of the country and emptied the royal authority. Isn't Ashikaga the biggest traitor in your country by taking power in the name of a general and setting up a false king in the north? "
"This... although it is indeed true." Emperor Changqing was speechless, and after a long while he said: "But the rebellious minister mentioned in the ceremonial letter by the little king actually does not refer to Ashikaga, but to Prince Huaira."
"Prince Huai Liang abused his royal status and recruited troops in order to oust the little king... There is really no one in the little king's hands. As long as the country helps the little king except Huai Liang, it is only profitable. The little king can quell it on his own without the need to go to the country to take action. "
"Moreover, Ashikaga's troops are strong, but there are hundreds of thousands of people..." Huaira explained. Just kidding, if this prince of the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't look too smart, takes a mere five thousand people to attack Ashikaga, wouldn't that be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
It would be fine if this prince who knew nothing about heaven and earth was dead, but with his only backup gone, he would still have to be controlled by Huai Liang.
Now Huai Liang has roped in his younger brother and is always ready to seize the throne. If the Ming army was destroyed, Huai Liang would no longer care about it, and he was afraid that he would soon be forced to abdicate and let his younger brother succeed him.
Once the emperor loses his position, the forces that oppose the merger that the government and the central government have managed to win over will be wiped out by Huai Liang in an instant. When the Northern and Southern Dynasties merge, can I, the former emperor who advocated fighting to the end, find favor with Shogun Ashikaga?
No, we can't let this prodigal son defeat the five thousand Ming army in vain. The Ming army must not attack the Northern Dynasty, they must fight Huai Liang.
"You mean, I, the Ming Dynasty, can't defeat the shogun?" Emperor Changqing didn't expect that this prince turned out to be a dandy with a very good temper. Faced with his threat, her neck turned red.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I tell you, I am invincible in the world!" Zhu Su stood up and raised his hands in excitement. "As for those warriors of your Japanese country, and our Ming Dynasty generals, each of them can be worth a hundred! With these five thousand men, I can sweep across the Japanese country!"
"I have promised my father to let your Japanese country know the majesty of the Ming Dynasty! I am just a good person, how can I communicate with my father?"
It turns out that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty had this intention. Perhaps he wanted to fight a huge and earth-shattering battle in the Japanese country, so that the Japanese people would not dare to invade the Ming Dynasty again. However, it was too arrogant for Ming Dynasty to defeat hundreds of thousands of shogunate troops with only these five thousand people.
Simply, they didn’t take the Japanese country seriously at all!
Chang Qing wanted to continue coaxing Zhu Su, but unexpectedly, the young prince was aroused and wanted to fight the shogunate. Changqing had no choice but to give up. After thinking about it, he deliberately pretended to be miserable, kept himself low, and begged Zhu Su to leave some soldiers to protect his safety.
"It doesn't matter. This person's name is Mu Ying, and he is a general of our Ming Dynasty. Let him bring five hundred people for your mission." Zhu Su was very generous.
Emperor Changqing was very satisfied with being able to deceive five hundred Ming troops. Seeing that the meeting was successfully concluded, Zhu Su stood up and left. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Changqing and said, "By the way, my Ming army of five thousand troops came from afar. It is inevitable that some of the ships will leak and be damaged."
"I would like to find a place by the sea where my army can temporarily rest on land and repair the ships. Is it possible?"
Changqing thought for a while and decided to go ashore to repair the ship. This was normal. So he nodded and said: "There are many remote places on the seaside of our country. Your Highness can use them as you wish."
"Okay." Zhu Su nodded, and it wasn't until he turned his back that a glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes.
