Chapter 57: The Ming Dynasty's Capital City
Soon someone whispered to Fu Zhong the reason.
In fact, the Hosokawa family may not be willing to betray the Ashikaga family, because the Hosokawa family is a branch of the Ashikaga family, not to mention that the Hosokawa family has deep influence in the Ashikaga shogunate. After killing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Hosokawa family will hardly be able to face the entire Japan.
But this situation also forced the Hosokawa family to take action.
Because it was not the Hosokawa family who wanted to kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but the conspiracy of other big families in the Ashikaga shogunate, including even relatives of the Ashikaga family.
These people can't hold on any longer.
Or, they are unwilling to sacrifice their own family and work for the Ashikaga family.
Under such circumstances, someone must get rid of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and negotiate peace with Ming Dynasty.
But who does?
No one is willing, because many people have not actually turned a corner. Even if they think of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, Japan is their Japan. The Ming Dynasty is in Japan and will leave in a few years. This idea is composed of many factors. On the one hand, Ming Dynasty's attitude towards Japan is actually not too important. It seems that there is no intention to bring Japan under direct jurisdiction. In addition, Japan has never been conquered, and there is deep-rooted pride in its heart.
They are dissatisfied.
Therefore, it was expedient to kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. No one wanted this infamy.
The same thing must go.
And this matter fell on Hosokawa Yorimoto. On the one hand, the Hosokawa family and the Ashikaga family are so close that they are almost one. On the other hand, the Hosokawa family also participated in the war against Ming. If the Hosokawa family doesn't show up, other families will think that the Hosokawa family is loyal to the Ashikaga family.
It is estimated that not only Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died, but also the Hosokawa family.
So Hosokawa Yorimoto must go.
But at the same time, facing the consequences of killing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Hosokawa Yorimoto must also bear it. If he doesn't bear it, the Hosokawa family will bear it.
Those who commit crimes against their superiors and kill their masters with their ministers are not welcome either in Japan of this era or in the Ming Dynasty.
If Hosokawa Yorimoto doesn't give an explanation, even if the Hosokawa family maintains its original status, it will be difficult for the Hosokawa family to mix in the original circle.
Even if everyone makes the decision together, no one family will admit it.
Even Hosokawa Yorimoto himself actually feels guilty for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Yes, the grudges between the Hosokawa family and the Ashikaga family are difficult to explain clearly. There are both grudges and grudges. In any case, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Hosokawa Yorimoto are also good.
Facing the current result, it is not what Hosokawa Yorimoto wants to see.
More importantly, others may still have hope for Japan, but Hosokawa Yorimoto does not. His death was not only an explanation to all parties in Japan, but also an explanation to the entire Ming Dynasty. In short, everything is settled with him, and the Hosokawa family will have more choices in the future.
Fu Zhong obviously didn't know that much, but he understood a bit from the introductions from people around him. He sighed and said nothing more.
Three days later, Fu Youde's army took control of Kyoto City. With the emperor's order, all the great names in Japan came to pay homage to Duke Ying of the Ming Dynasty and the general who conquered the east. Those who don't come are considered treasonous.
------
"Father." Fu Zhong came to Fu Youde's study.
Fu Youde held a book "Ancient Events" in his hand and read it carefully. When he saw Fu Zhong coming over, he said, "How is the matter handled?"
Fu Zhong said: "Everything went well."
Fu Youde said: "What do you think of Japan now?"
Fu Youde's intention to train Fu Zhong in the army is obvious. Many things are left to Fu Zhong to do. Over time, Fu Zhong has indeed been tempered. Although compared with Mu Ying, Lan Yu and others, she is still a lot immature. But if you continue to train according to this method, in three to five years, you may not be able to stand alone.
Fu Zhong was silent and said: "You appear gentle on the outside, but you are actually hiding evil intentions."
"Since I entered Kyoto, Japan, I have been so flattered by the emperor and ministers that I can't even imagine that even ministers and ministers would send their wives to entertain me. My son--"
Fu Zhong really didn't know what to say.
Fu Zhong was naturally not a chaste and loyal husband, and he had to keep the integrity of the princess at home even when he was away from home. He is also very good at playing with women. Even during this period in Japan, there were only three people raised in Nagasaki, but this was nothing. In this era, men all over the world were like this.
But Fu Zhong still knows which women can play and which women cannot play.
Naturally, you can't touch a famous flower that has its own owner, and you can't touch a wealthy daughter either. etc. Although Japan has surrendered today, to be honest, Ming Dynasty's influence in southern Japan has been guaranteed, but in places east and north of Kyoto, Japanese names are still the main ones.
Of course, you can't insult the Japanese too much.
But before he could be insulted, he sent his wife and daughter to bed. This is difficult for Fu Zhong to understand.
In the future, if we ask for help from these people in Japan, we must also follow their hearts. It is difficult to refuse many things. But the question is, if something like this is done, won’t they retaliate in the future? Fu Zhongchen couldn't understand the scale in their hearts.
According to Fu Zhong's thinking, after much deliberation, he appeared to be meek but actually hid evil intentions.
Because in human consciousness, you will get as much as you pay. Giving away your wife and daughter, this kind of dedication must be abnormally rewarded. What is this reward? Fu Zhong doesn't know. But he knew that he didn't want to give it.
In Fu Zhong's heart, the time for these famous Japanese names in Japan has entered a countdown.
Why give them so much extra compensation?
Fu Youde said: "This Japan cannot be stable. If your Majesty gives me a few more years, I will give you a pure Japan, but it is impossible now. From now on, the Eastern Expedition Army will be gradually dismantled, including Korea, Kyushu, I will also give King Lu and several other princes. Now there are two ways for you."
"The first is to follow me back to the capital and sit in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army for a few years. The second is to lead 50,000 troops to station in Japan and become the Supreme Emperor of Japan. Deal with those of you who appear to be meek on the outside but are actually hiding evil intentions. "
Fu Zhong did not think about his own way out, but asked: "Father, you are going back to Beijing."
Fu Youde said: "I am old. I am already old. Your Majesty's meaning is also very obvious. We old guys should not block the way of young people. Xu Da retreated, Tang He retreated, Feng Shengduo Reluctantly, I also retreated, how can I not be sensible?"
"It's not bad to think about it. My family has already become a prince, and hereditary inheritance is ignored. I also know your ability. The next generation will have no worries. I will naturally return to Nanjing and take care of my grandson. There is nothing wrong with taking care of my grandson."
Fu Zhong said: "Is father willing?"
Fu Youde said: "I have reached this point in my life, what is there to be willing to do? Don't think too much. Just preserve your wealth." Fu Youde gave Fu Zhong a meaningful look.
Is Fu Youde willing?
There is nothing to be unwilling to do. He is already considered a very human minister. Life is complete. But there is also a little bit of regret in my heart. After all, Japan has not done its full work.
Fu Zhong was very unwilling. There are too many things that he is not willing to accept. At the very least, Fu Zhong was dissatisfied with the feeling of being manipulated by others.
But Fu Zhong didn't dare to say anything in front of Fu Youde. He thought for a moment and said, "Father, I am willing to stay in Japan."
Fu Youde said: "Okay. Since you made this choice, you can do the next thing."
Fu Zhong said: "What happened?"
Fu Youde said: "Set up the Japanese capital, establish a garrison, and suppress the Japanese chieftains. By the way. The most important thing is to cooperate with the Shaofu to mine Japanese gold and silver mines and send them directly to Nanjing."
Fu Zhong said: "Japanese gold and silver mine?"
Fu Youde said: "This is what His Majesty asked for by name. Let's do this. Maybe, this Japan will be the foundation of my family."
Although there are no generals in Waishi Town yet, there are actually signs, or rumors, of this. Especially Mu Ying was driven to Yunnan by Zhu Yuanzhang. From Mu Ying's conquest of Yunnan to now, she has been in and out at least three times. Many people have tasted it. Naturally, this also includes Fu Youde.
Fu Youde wanted to keep Fu Zhong here at this moment, and he had this idea. But Fu Zhong didn't know.
