Zhengyang Gate in the east of Yingtian City.
On weekdays, because entering Zhengyang Gate, where the imperial city is located, and all the ministries and offices of the central government gathered, there were not many people going in and out of Zhengyang Gate.
Most of the people in and around Yingtian entered the city through Tongji Gate and Jubao Gate in the west.
But today, the Zhengyang Gate was blocked by two groups of people.
Two groups of people, each with dozens of people.
They all wore clothes with open fronts and wide sleeves like those of the previous Tang Dynasty, and two straight swords made in the Tang Dynasty, one long and one short, hung on their waists. It is very different from the Yanling Dao and Lancet Dao used in the Ming Dynasty's army today.
These people did not wear any shoes, only two high-soled wooden clogs.
It made the Jingwei officers and soldiers guarding Zhengyang Gate wonder whether these people could run if they fought.
The total number of people in the two groups was less than a hundred, but the official road outside Zhengyang Gate was extremely wide.
But under the watchful eyes of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers guarding the city, since the two groups were crowded together, they were constantly competing for the position in the middle of the official road, and no one gave an inch to the other.
The two officials who were walking in front, wearing Ming dynasty uniforms, marched on horseback with helpless expressions on their faces, turning a deaf ear to the internal fighting among the Japanese people behind them.
After all, they were exhausted physically and mentally from this journey and couldn't control it. If they talk too much, the two groups will yell to prevent the other group from entering Yingtian City.
This is the Ming Dynasty!
There was no way the imperial court would allow these two groups of foreign envoys to fight at will in the Ming Dynasty.
When they arrived in front of Zhengyang Gate, the two Ming Dynasty officials who led the team hurriedly winked at the Jingwei officers and soldiers who had already stepped forward to investigate.
Then he said: "This is the Japanese envoy entering the court. We will take the envoy to the post house to stay. Then I will invite your majesty to come to the court to see you."
The Jingwei officers and soldiers nodded, looking dimly at the Japanese envoys who were already quarreling behind them.
"Yoshinoderama! Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Among the group of Japanese people who were exquisitely dressed, the leader had a delicate and neat mustache under his nose, and his eyes were staring sinisterly at the shabby and shabby Yoshinoya envoy in front of him.
The Japanese envoy to the Southern Dynasties, who was called Yoshinoderama, suddenly became angry, and his hand was already on the Japanese sword: "Haga! Ashikaga Umedie, your land is mine, and I dare not compete with you? If I hadn't been here at this moment. Daming, my land will kill your land! Your land should not bully others!"
Ashikaga Umecho, the Japanese envoy to the Northern Dynasty, snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, and said mockingly: "Sure enough, people from the Southern Dynasties are ignorant of etiquette and lack of knowledge. They have only learned half of the original dialect. That is called bullying. Too much."
The exposed Yoshinoderama suddenly screamed, his face flushed and hot, and he had already shown his sword: "Ashikaga Umecho, only one of you and I can enter this Yingten City today!"
As the envoys of the Yoshinoya of the Southern Dynasty drew their swords, the samurai of the Yoshinoya of the Southern Dynasty who accompanied him drew out their Japanese swords from their waists, staring fiercely and angrily at the lackeys of the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty in front of them.
Ashikaga Plum Butterfly whistled, and Zeng pulled out her sword. She sank down, strode into a horse stance, and fixed her eyes expectantly on Yoshinoya's trash.
"Yoshinoderama, if you don't dare to take action, you are a coward of Yoshinoya!"
Bushido will never allow cowards to exist!
Yoshinoderama, who was called a coward, felt angry and blood welling up.
"idiot!"
"Ashikaga Umecho, I will kill you today!"
Suddenly, the two gangs were about to start fighting.
However, there was already a burst of thunder all around, and the waves of iron armor were like thunder. The sound was so majestic that it had never been seen before in the battle fields between the armies of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan.
"presumptuous!"
"stop!"
A Forbidden Army general guarding Yingtian Zhengyang Gate led his soldiers over with a stern expression.
The Ming army is coming!
Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama put away the swords in their hands at the same time and turned to look at the Ming army general who came over.
Seeing the opponent's tiger eyes, already exuding repeated killing intent, a majestic aura pressed against Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama.
The two of them were immediately frightened and did not dare to raise their heads to look directly at the general.
General Ming is so majestic!
The general of the forbidden army who was on duty at Zhengyang Gate walked up to the two Japanese envoys. Looking at the thin blades shining in these people's hands, he couldn't help but snorted.
Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
In the corner of their eyes, hundreds of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, fully armed with iron armor and silver helmets, holding lancets in their hands and long bows hanging on their backs, had formed a formation to surround them.
And under the city gate not far away, a group of more Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, holding long spears with cold light, formed a spear formation to block the city gate.
On the city wall, there were long bows, bows and strings, and sharp arrows aimed at them.
At regular intervals on the city wall, there is a thick muzzle, a black hole exuding a terrifying aura, facing the outside of the city.
Akito is really rich!
Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama both sighed in their hearts at the same time.
Just a group of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, the steel on their bodies is better than that of the most elite daimyo warriors of Japan.
The thick artillery on the city wall must be a powerful weapon that can frighten the Yuan people galloping on the grassland.
If one such cannon was melted, the Japanese country would have countless swords.
How wonderful it would be if all these were from the Japanese country!
Almost as if they had a telepathic connection, Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama looked up at each other at the same time.
Both of them had a trace of envy and fear in their eyes.
But the general of the imperial army who came over said with a gloomy face: "This is the important place of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. You are no better than a small country in the outside world. Who gave you the courage to commit murder with weapons under the feet of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? I am the law of the Ming Dynasty. Aren't you here? Do you think my Ming Dynasty's million-strong army is at a disadvantage?"
Today's Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the Han family that expelled the Yuan people who were unrivaled in the north and south of the Central Plains.
It is an empire with millions of armored soldiers!
This is an empire where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gather to fight at the emperor's command!
Today's Ming Dynasty only sees the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty on the grassland as rivals.
And this is just because of the Central Plains Dynasty, their common enemy in the years before.
In addition, looking around, who dares to bark around the Ming Dynasty now?
Ashikaga Umecho, the Japanese envoy to the Northern Dynasty, couldn't help but feel angry when he heard General Ming's reprimand. However, thinking of the family master's explanation, he could only lower his head.
The envoy of the Southern Dynasties, Yoshinoderama, had a flattering smile on his face. He put away the Japanese sword and bowed forward: "I know my mistake, and the general taught me a lesson. It's just that I don't like the people of the Ashikaga family who dare to do it tomorrow. He is committing evil and lawlessness at his feet. I just want to punish this person for His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."
As he spoke, Yoshinoderama smiled in a flattering manner.
The general of the imperial army glanced at Yoshinoderama: "The majesty of my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not need to be maintained by you. I, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here!"
Then, he glanced at Ashikaga Umedie, who had his head lowered over there: "That's it, you want to commit murder in our Ming Dynasty capital?"
Ashikaga Umedie hurriedly stepped forward: "To tell you what the general said, Yoshinodera Asano is a villain. We came to the Ming Dynasty this time to wish the Ming Emperor longevity. This time, our Ashikaga family brought countless gold and silver treasures, and also There are ten beauties dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could they commit murder in the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"
Everyone likes to be big!
Akito also likes to be flattered!
As he spoke, Ashikaga Umecho asked the samurai at home to lead the carriages at the back of the team.
Many boxes were filled to the brim, and the packhorse pulling the cart was breathing heavily.
In the carriage at the back, as long as the curtain is lifted, you can see the Japanese woman huddled in the carriage, her face painted like a ghost painting.
The general of the Forbidden Army grunted twice and waved his hand, and the gun array under the Zhengyang Gate dispersed.
Yoshinoderama and Ashikaga Umecho looked at each other unhappily. They both snorted coldly at the same time. Seeing that General Akira allowed them to enter the city, they felt a little more at ease and walked towards the Shoyang Gate in parallel.
But when Ashikaga Umedie walked past the general of the Imperial Army, she heard an extremely clear sound of contempt.
"Flattery!"
? ? ?
For a moment, Ashikaga Umecho was confused.
He was obviously constantly praising the other party, flattering Ming, and even showing off his congratulatory gifts and Mei Ji. Why didn't that flattering and damned Yoshinoderama get spoken to like this before, but it was him instead?
But how did he know that the great general of the Ming Dynasty was not something ordinary people could bear, and he didn't know that the Ming Dynasty still looked down upon the gifts he was sending.
On the contrary, Yoshinoderama acted like he loyally protected the Ming Dynasty and was willing to be the Ming Dynasty's lackey, which was deeply appreciated by the general of the Imperial Army.
The two leading officials had no choice but to lead these unruly Japanese into the Zhengyang Gate. They sat on their horses and whispered to them to pay attention to the matters.
"You will be arranged in the post house specially designed for foreigners to enter the court. The court will not prohibit you from entering and exiting freely, but you must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and are not allowed to show off evil in the city."
"The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will inform you when you can go to the Hajj to see me, His Majesty the Ming Emperor. As for when Your Majesty will see you, even we know."
Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama nodded silently. This is Akito's rule. They came to Ming Dynasty this time with a purpose, so naturally they must abide by Akito's rules.
In a short while, everyone arrived outside the post house located at the junction of Dongcheng and Zhongcheng.
Several people were dressed the same as people from the Ming Dynasty, but at a glance, they knew that they were from the Li family's Korean country. They were gathered at the door of the post house, staring at the arriving Japanese people with wandering eyes.
On the steps at the door, there was a palace eunuch waiting for a long time.
When he saw all the Japanese people coming, he immediately stepped forward.
The two officials leading the team turned back to Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama and explained: "This is the servant of my imperial palace. I came here probably because I have an edict to pass on."
The person standing at the door of the post house was none other than Yu Tian, who was waiting beside Zhu Yunxi.
He cast a dull glance at this group of shapeless Japanese, hummed twice, and said dullly: "The grandson of the Ming Dynasty has ordered that all who see them should kneel down and worship."
To be honest, these Japanese people don't have to kneel.
But Yutian didn't understand why the emperor's grandson had to tell him this.
Since it was given by the emperor's grandson, he naturally had to abide by it and complete it.
The two leading officials were also puzzled, but at this time they could not disagree within themselves, so they stood aside with hands tied.
There was a flash of anger in Ashikaga Umecho's eyes.
It could be seen that Yoshinoderama was kneeling down without any spine, so he had no choice but to hold back his anger and kneel down.
Only then did Yu Tian smile slightly: "The grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor has decreed that there are Japanese envoys coming to the court now, and a special courtyard is given to the post house for the Japanese envoys to stay. On the day when His Majesty the Ming Emperor has a long life, you can go to the imperial court according to the order. See you and pay homage to the Ming Emperor Long Yan."
A separate courtyard?
Daming actually buckles like this?
Then don’t I have to live with this guy?
At the same time, Ashikaga Umecho and Yoshinoderama once looked at each other, with annoyance in their eyes.
But Yutian, who came out of the palace to convey the order, had already left with a smile and others.
The two officials handed the person over to the officials of the post house and left.
Only the officials of the post house and the Koreans of the Lee family who were watching the excitement were left at the scene.
"This time the Japanese seem to be bleeding. There are a lot of gold and silver treasures on the car..."
Several Koreans from the Lee family looked at the Ashikaga family's carriage on the carriage from time to time, arriving to present congratulatory gifts to the Ming Emperor.
…
That night.
The moon and stars are sparse and the night sky is bright.
In the East Palace of the Imperial City, there was a sudden exclamation.
"Third Master, it's not good!"
"There was a fight between Japanese and Japanese people over at the post house."
"The Japanese people even started fighting with the Korean people of the Lee family!"
…………
It’s the end of the month, don’t waste your monthly passes~~~
