This is not the first time Chen Zuyi has set foot in Japan. Chen Zuyi had been to Japan as early as the 26th year of Hongwu.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Hongwu period, which was the ninth year of the Yuanzhong period in Japan, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, with the help of Ouchi Yoshihiro, proposed three conditions to the Southern Dynasty on behalf of the Northern Dynasty. First, the three artifacts symbolizing imperial power were provided by Emperor Go Kameyama. (Southern Dynasties) was transferred to Emperor Gokomatsu (Northern Dynasty); secondly, from now on, Go-Kameyama Ryu and Go-Komatsu Ryu will take turns to inherit the throne; thirdly, the land in each country belongs to Go-Kameyama Ryu, and the long lecture hall with more than 100 manors After the territory was returned, Komatsu-ryu ruled.
The Southern Dynasty was weak and had to agree to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu under pressure. At this point, Japan was unified from the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Chen Zuyi arrived in Japan in the second year after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu completed the reunification. He sent a batch of looted rare treasures, which won the joy of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and obtained permission for the fleet to dock at Japanese coastal ports.
But in Chen Zuyi's view, the three conditions proposed by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu are all nonsense and nonsense.
This is also true. In just a few years, the power of the Southern Dynasties has been suppressed by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and cannot move. Even Emperor Gogeyama can only choose to live in seclusion in a temple. Why do emperors take turns to sit at your house tomorrow? Believe this Those who are talking are idiots.
Chen Zuyi believes that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is very similar to himself. He is a greedy big pirate, and he is a big bandit who demands excessively. Thieves, when have they ever paid attention to integrity...
For example, how much Ouchi Yoshihiro once believed in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, how much he respected and followed him, and how much he contributed to the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but what was the result?
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to repair a house, but Ouchi Yoshihiro was unwilling to pay for it. Over this trivial matter, the two fell out.
Of course, this is just an excuse for a breakdown...
The real reason is that Ouchi Yoshihiro was the guardian of the six countries of Shubo, Nagato, Iwami, Bunzen, Izumi, and Kii at the time, and he was also in charge of the trading port Sakai City and controlled the east-west route of the Seto Inland Sea.
In such an important position, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was naturally not allowed to be controlled by the Ouchi clan, so there was the Onaga Rebellion. Ouchi Yoshihiro eventually died in Sakai Port, and the scope of the Ashikaga Shogunate's rule naturally extended. come over.
Chen Zuyi looked at Sakai Port and didn't know where Ouchi Yoshihiro's burial place was, but he didn't care anymore as the ship had docked.
"Are you Chen Zuyi?"
Si Bo Yi looked at Chen Zuyi again, with some disdain in his eyes.
Chen Zuyi listened to the translated words and disagreed. Although the Shiba Yoshitaka in front of him was not a good guy and did not have much ability, he had a powerful father named Shiba Yoshitsune. He was the leader of the Ashikaga Shogunate and a powerful figure. , is an important figure under Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Considering that his father was very good, Chen Zuyi was not angry. Instead, he smiled politely and said, "Young master in charge, right? It's hard work."
With a wave of his hand, Chen Sancai stepped forward and delivered a tip bag.
Shiba Yizhong reached out to take it, opened it and took a look. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said: "Boss Chen, you are fine. My father mentioned you before. Please come quickly."
Chen Zuyi felt a little contempt in his heart, so he threw away the little treasure.
Shiba Yoshige's status has not yet been highlighted at this time. After all, his father is on top. As a son, he can only keep a low profile. Too high a profile can easily cause trouble. If his status is really high, I am afraid he will not be sent to pick him up.
"Where is the Minister of Taizheng? I would like to meet him as soon as possible."
Chen Zuyi went straight to the point. After all, the person in front of him had no decision-making power, and chatting with him was a waste of time.
Shiba Yoshige also knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was waiting for Chen Zuyi, so he opened his mouth and said three words: "Kitayama brother."
Chen Zuyi frowned slightly, this place was a bit unfamiliar.
Chen Sancai explained to Chen Zuyi in a low voice: "For four years, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu exchanged the territory of Kawachi Kingdom with the Saionji family and obtained the ownership of Kitayamadi Villa outside the city. Later, he renovated and added buildings to form a large manor. "
Chen Zuyi was a little confused and asked: "Why are you in the suburbs?"
For a force, the center of the city is the safest, not the suburbs. No one would set their ruling center in the suburbs, right?
But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did just that.
Chen Sancai knew a lot about the situation in Japan and told Chen Zuyi: "Although the Ashikaga Shogunate is located in Kyoto, the upper-class samurai need to handle various government affairs in Kyoto. The families and relatives of these samurai continue to flow into Kyoto, causing the population of Kyoto to increase day by day. It has exceeded 100,000, and it can be said to be a huge city."
"Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lived in seclusion behind the scenes and passed the position of shogun to his son Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is only sixteen years old this year and has no real power at all. The one who controls the Ashikaga Shogunate is still Ashikaga Yoshimitsu among the Kitayama brothers."
The corners of Chen Zuyi's mouth trembled a little.
One hundred thousand people is a giant city. Yes, for Japan, one hundred thousand people is indeed a giant city. It can also be said to be the largest city here.
No matter where Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lives, he can control the situation and his words will work.
Sakai Port is not far from Beishandi, only more than thirty miles away, but because Chen Zuyi was visiting, in addition to Chen Sancai and Lu Daobao, he also had an entourage of 60 people, who carried boxes of food. Gift.
When we arrived at Beishandi, it was already afternoon.
Yoshitaka Shiba went to report that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave Chen Zuyi face and asked Shiba Yi to personally welcome Chen Zuyi into Kitayama.
Beishandi is large in scale, its style is the architectural style of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and Chinese customs can be seen everywhere.
Chen Zuyi was taken to the Golden Pavilion Temple. Next to the Golden Pavilion Temple is a quiet lake, which is extremely peaceful and beautiful.
Si Boyi went in first, and soon after, he invited Chen Zuyi to go in.
Walking into the Golden Pavilion Temple, Chen Zuyi saw many exquisite ceramics, incense burners and paintings. With his vicious eyes, he could identify them at a glance. Most of them came from China and were many years old.
The so-called Beishan culture is nothing more than Chinese culture packaged.
Chen Zuyi went up to the second floor and saw Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who was wearing a yellow cassock, a gold belt and a bald head. When Chen Zuyi met Ashikaga Yoshimitsu for the first time, he had not yet become a monk, but now he is a monk.
This monk is very powerful, with bursts of coercion beneath his calmness.
Chen Zuyi composed himself and bowed forward: "Nanyang King Chen Zuyi pays homage to the Minister of Taizheng."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu flipped the Buddhist beads in his hand, looked at Chen Zuyi indifferently, and smiled slightly: "Okay, we are old acquaintances, so this etiquette can be dispensed with. I heard that your main force was defeated by the Daming Navy You are all destroyed, are you coming to me now to ask me to take you in?"
Chen Zuyi looked at the calm but aggressive Ashikaga Yoshimitsu with a stern look, and sneered: "If the Ming Dynasty Navy can completely destroy my main force, why am I here? If what I heard is true, it will be a bit dangerous. .”
"Chen Zuyi, watch your words!"
Si Boyi stepped out and scolded in a deep voice.
Chen Zuyi glanced coldly and didn't back down: "What's wrong with my words? I'm here to help you and save you! And what about you? Do you think that I, Chen Zuyi, am a prodigal son who has nowhere to live, begging you to take me in?" Minister Taizheng, I respect you as a man, if you look down on me, haha, then I’m sorry and say goodbye!”
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
After saying that, Chen Zuyi turned around and left.
Shiba Yishou did not expect that things would become so tense when they met, and he quickly looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu blinked and said calmly: "Haha, it's just a joke. After coming so far, if I don't entertain old friends, I will be laughed at. King of Nanyang, please come back and sit down. .”
Chen Zuyi doesn’t really want to leave, but this group of people are tough and not soft. If you act humble and cowardly, then they will dare to ride on your neck and run wild. If you act strong and tough, then they will Will give you respect.
This is a common problem among their group, just like jackals.
Chen Zuyi turned around, stared at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and said seriously: "I regard you as a friend, and I hope that no unpleasant things will happen again. Otherwise, I will take my people away. I'm afraid it will be too late when you regret it someday." ”
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nodded calmly, ordered people to arrange food and drinks in the compartment, and then said to Chen Zuyi: "You said you came here to help me, I am very interested."
Chen Zuyi unceremoniously sat opposite Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and said bluntly: "Yes, in fact, you and I both know that Ming is our common enemy. As long as this enemy still exists, we will not have a good life."
"You mean, you want to destroy Ming Dynasty?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his eyebrows.
Chen Zuyi was speechless. He had never thought about it in his wildest thoughts. How could the Ming Dynasty be wiped out so easily? Would it be enough for Zhu Yunwen to kill all of you Japanese by fighting a land war?
When you are making trouble, the military strength of a country is not as large as Zhu Yunwen's honor guard. It is funny to destroy the Ming Dynasty...
"No, it is to eliminate the Ming Navy and completely control the Nanyang trade and the Ming coast in your and my hands!"
Chen Zuyi was categorical.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu narrowed his eyes and said softly: "You know, I am in need of a boat."
Chen Zuyi nodded and said with a smile: "I know, so I can send you a ship and help you build a maritime fleet. Then we will join forces to completely eliminate the Ming Dynasty Navy. After that, you will take over the richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and I will Take Fujian and Guangdong.”
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not speak immediately, but moved his prayer beads and fell into deep thought.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had never seen with his own eyes how powerful the Ming Navy was. He only knew that all Japanese who went to China were killed, regardless of men, women, old or young, civilians, officials, or even envoys sent by himself!
"I heard that the Ming Dynasty had a rule against the shogunate."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said softly.
Chen Zuyi nodded heavily: "Yes, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally ordered that all Japanese who enter the Ming Dynasty will be killed."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu pinched the beads, with a fierce look in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "The Ming Dynasty is too harsh on me! Tell me, what are you going to do?"
