I'm really not doing business

Chapter 267 Use a radish to carve the seal and ribbon of the Japanese king

In Nagasaki, there are two forces in the Ming Dynasty. One is Tang Guan, that is, Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, Ma Jin and other [-] Langli Baitiao are the backbone. Behind them are the merchants from the Nanya of the Ming Dynasty who went to sea in the Ming Dynasty to pay taxes. Form, the support of real money and silver opened the sea in Ming Dynasty;
The other force is the Fujian Guild Hall, which is mainly composed of smugglers and desperadoes led by Zhao Changlin. They are supported by old maritime merchants who advocate opposition to taxation and the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty.

These two forces can be regarded as the old and new maritime merchant groups. Tang Guan is the new maritime merchant group, and Fujian Guild Hall is the old maritime merchant group. The main conflict of interest is still the Japanese silver.

Under the constant control of the policy of opening up the sea, and under the example of the two brothers Sun Keyi and the Sun family in Songjiang, more and more gentry turned their attention to the sea, and then continued to integrate into the "Songjiang Yuanhang Trading Company" 》Among them.

Sun Keyi was the Songjiang Merchant General before. This Merchant General is not a name, but the court chooses people with strong family backgrounds and strong capital to name them. The Chief Merchant is the leader of the Yuanhang Trading Company. In a loose merchant alliance such as the Trading Company, there are also fields, There are many types of merchants such as luck, nest, and pawn.

These merchants have various functions based on their division of labor.

For example, the foot traffickers go around peddling and purchasing raw materials; the nest merchants are just like making a nest, specializing in building warehouses to store goods or engage in production activities; and the transport merchants are merchants, specializing in carrying goods from one place to another. Mainly responsible for transportation and security of the escort agency.

As for market traders, it is necessary to be able to go to sea with the merchants. Only if you have at least a three-masted plywood boat can you become a market trader.

Shang always chooses from market merchants.

Songjiang Yuantao Trading Company is a loose alliance of merchants. Their common interest is to open up the sea. Sun Keyi was the leader of the alliance among merchants before and was appointed by the imperial court. After Sun Keyi went to Japan, the imperial court named Sun Kehong and continued to serve as the general merchant. .

Even though Sun Kehong's knees were broken by Xu Jie and he could not stand, Songjiang Yamen still believed that it was better not to hand over the crucial position of Mr. Shang to someone else. It was not a big deal if he couldn't stand up. He could just be carried away. .

Therefore, Xu Wei, Sun Keyi and Songjiang Yuanhang Trading Company were a collection of interests that emerged under the policy of opening up the sea, and formed a conflict of interest with the existing smuggling merchants.

The Tang Palace where Xu Wei sits has an overwhelming advantage, because he has [-] regular naval officers from the imperial court, and he has the Ming Dynasty behind him, but behind Zhao Changlin there are only some stubborn old merchants who have not clearly seen the general trend.

To go out and hang out, you must have power and background.

It only took half a day for Ma Jin to get Zhao Changlin in front of Xu Wei without any bloodshed. Ma Jin went directly to the Fujian Guild Hall to get it without encountering any resistance.

After all, outside the big building of the Fujian Guild Hall, Ma Jin pushed two nine-pound cannons and filled them with medicine before taking the people.

This nine-pound powder artillery was dismantled from the battleship, and then installed on the Qi family's gun mount, which was the wooden artillery cart made by Qi Jiguang.

Facing the artillery, everyone inside and outside the Fujian Guild Hall unanimously put down their weapons.

In the previous attack on the parish, these two nine-pound gun cannons showed their power, blowing open the door of the church with only one shot; the second shot blew the statue of the god into pieces; The three cannons were loaded with explosive shells, and one shot destroyed the will of everyone in the parish to resist. After all, the fragments were covered in flesh and blood.

Everyone has seen the power of this thing. It is better not to challenge the power of the artillery with flesh and blood.

Anyway, it was only Zhao Changlin who was arrested, not everyone in the Fujian Guild Hall.

"I asked you to come, but you didn't come, and you still asked me to go. Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xu Wei looked at the tied-up Zhao Changlin and said in a very dissatisfied tone.

It's shameless to give face. Although the time Xu Wei gave is more to let the merchants of the Fujian Guild Hall understand the situation and see Zhao Changlin's original face and face. Zhao Changlin wants to step on Xu Wei not for the benefit of the Fujian Guild Hall, but for the sake of the Fujian Guild Hall. Just your own selfish interests.

"The hawk of the imperial court! Xu Wenchang, have you forgotten how Hu Butang died! Just because you forgot how Hu Butang died, have you forgotten Wang Zhi? By then you, Xu Wei, will also be a pirate! Hainan Bandits!" Zhao Changlin kept struggling and kept speaking harshly.

The navy soldiers' binding skills were excellent, how could they let him break free?

Xu Wei did not refute immediately. Both the Fujian Guild Hall and the Tang Hall recommended Xu Wei as the governor of Nagasaki. In fact, the reason was very simple, that is, they did not want Xu Wei to be the governor.

This logic is actually very normal. The imperial court will not listen to the local government. If the imperial court was willing to listen, Guo Zhengmao would have returned to Guangdong and Guangxi, instead of the murderous Ling Yunyi continuing to dominate.

But this time the court unexpectedly appointed Xu Wei, catching everyone off guard.

Wang Zhi had always been dispatched by Hu Zongxian. Wang Bengu, the governor of Zhejiang at the time, arrested Wang Zhi without saying hello, and was eventually convicted and beheaded as a pirate. The negative impact of this was more far-reaching than the court thought.

Fujian merchants, desperadoes, etc. who were in Japan could not help but think of Wang Zhi's fate, and then went against the imperial court.

"It's really causing endless harm." Xu Wei rubbed his face and looked very helpless. For people like him and Zhao Changlin who came from a shabby background, it was all a waste of words to say that Wang Bengu or Xu Jie said that there was strife in the court. In Zhao Changlin's eyes, Here, these are the will of the imperial court and the evil of the imperial court.

The imperial court is a whole. This is a stereotyped understanding. Xu Wei also had this understanding when he was working as an aide under Hu Zongxian.

But after several years in prison, some people wanted to kill him, some wanted to save him, some wanted him to stay in prison forever, and some wanted to use him to rehabilitate Hu Zongxian. In short, the court was also a vanity fair, because the interests were different, and there were all kinds of people. of cronies.

"Xu Wei, kill me if you can!" Zhao Changlin shouted angrily.

Xu Wei smiled and shook his head and said: "Everyone is out, how can we kill people? I just asked you to come over and talk. Whether you accept it or not, it doesn't matter. As long as you enter this door, you can go out again." , you are just like me."

"Let go."

Xu Wei leaned forward slightly and said: "Listen carefully, I don't care about other things. You can do whatever you want, but if you get involved with the Japanese and harm the Ming Dynasty, your death will come."

The only purpose of calling Zhao Changlin here was to tell him the criteria for collaborating with the Japanese. Working with the Japanese to harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty means collaborating with the Japanese. This is the golden rule that Wang Xijue proved with his big head in the Wang Xijue case. In the long process of destroying the Japanese , this is the only criterion.

Whether it is opposition or fighting for profit, it is all an internal struggle. Brothers are fighting against each other but they are still trying to resist humiliation from outside. If even this rule is violated, then Xu Wei cannot be blamed for being ruthless and ruthless.

Xu Wei's warning was not without purpose. In fact, none of the merchants smuggling in the Japanese country had flirted with the famous names of Lingzhi Kingdom. However, in the process of flirting, they got involved with the Japanese for the purpose of harming the interests of the Ming Dynasty and enriching their private families. There is no way to escape the death penalty.

Ma Jin curled his lips. This is where the viciousness of scholars comes from. They kill people with soft knives and real swords and real guns. Ma Jin has never been afraid of these literary scholars, but scholars never use real swords or guns to manipulate politics. , and finally the martial artist was played around. This drama has been going on for more than 600 years.

Zhao Changlin entered the Tang Palace door and walked out intact. There is no difference between Zhao Changlin and Xu Wei. After all, no one knows what he said. If Zhao Changlin walked out intact, then he is a lackey of the imperial court. Eagle Dog is the traitor of Green Forest.

That's enough, you don't need to do much more.

In the conflict of interests between the old and new maritime merchants, the new ones have an absolute advantage because of the support of the Ming Dynasty. It only takes time for these old ones to be eliminated by the tide of the times.

For example, ships, the new maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, all have three-masted plywood ships, with larger cargo capacity, faster speed, better water tightness, etc. This has a huge advantage in the maritime merchants. And these advantages will gradually defeat these old smugglers in the competition.

For example, a navigator, a navigator from Songjiang Maritime Academy, has a more complete knowledge system for navigating across the ocean, and the instruments in his hands, such as sextant, compass, clock, etc., are more precise and accurate, and he will be faster when piloting. Find sea routes and ports, and realize the exchange of goods more quickly.

For example, in the inspection of coastal defense patrols, these old smugglers do not have ship licenses, or the ships are simply two-masted sailing ships, so they must avoid the inspections of the coastal defense patrols, which invisibly increases more costs.

These are the advantages of newcomers. It will only take a while for the old ones to be beaten to death on the beach.

There is no need for Xu Wei to kill each other. Intensifying this contradiction at this time will not be conducive to the development of the Governor's Office in the Japanese country. It is enough to make the remnants of the old era suspicious of each other and unable to work together.

"Have you contacted our Muromachi Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiaki?" After Xu Wei dealt with Zhao Changlin's problem, he began to deal with what he had promised to the court before, and cooperated with the Muromachi Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and continued to pick on both inside and outside. .

"He is currently in the Mouri Domain, Tomon Castle in Numakuma County, Bingo Province, not far from Nagasaki." Sun Keyi said with a smile: "Ashikaga Yoshiaki went to the Maori Domain to beg for food from the Maori Governor, which made the Maori Governor very embarrassed. He was thinking We are trying to find a way to send this plague god away, and we happened to be in contact with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, so the Governor of the Mori Domain, Mori Terumoto, plans to send a gift out of the country and send Ashikaga Yoshiaki here."

"Then go pick it up." Xu Wei nodded and said, "After all, he is our Ming Dynasty's dog. It's not a problem to beg for food like this."

The life of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general of the Muromachi shogunate, can be described in two words - begging for food.

His elder brother was the shogun of the previous generation. After his elder brother was killed by a rebel, Ashikaga Yoshiaki returned to secular life and began to beg for food, or to revitalize the Muromachi shogunate.

There is a custom in the Japanese country that the sons of shoguns who fail to obtain the status of heir must become a monk. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's brother obtained the status of shogun, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself can only become a monk.

After his brother died, Ashikaga Yoshiaki returned to secular life. However, in order to inherit the position of Shogun, he had to go to Luo with his sword in hand, which meant defeating all opponents, enter Kyoto with his sword in hand, and obtain the appointment of the emperor. .

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was begging for food, and he was known as a beggar and a poor man. He went on begging for several years without achieving anything, until he got to Owari Province Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga happened to be going to Luo. Lacking a status, he hit it off with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the two sides began to cooperate.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki has the status and reputation of the samurai family, while Oda Nobunaga has the military force. The two parties cooperated closely and fully, and the process of going to Luo was also very easy. Ashikaga Yoshiaki became the recognized shogun.

But Ashikaga Yoshiaki soon fell out with Oda Nobunaga.

The reason for the falling out is simple: power.

Oda Nobunaga wants to be a man of the world, that is, the person who holds all the power of the Japanese country, the most powerful person in the world. Oda Nobunaga relies on his tyrannical force to continuously increase the constraints on the Muromachi shogunate and hollow out the rule of the Muromachi shogunate. foundation.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki refused to let Oda Nobunaga become a man of the world. He began to unite many daimyo and monk soldiers who were enemies of Oda Nobunaga and launched an siege against Oda Nobunaga, which was the second Oda Nobunaga siege. of establishment.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is famous, the Muromachi Shogunate was the king of Japan who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also canonized by the emperor.

As a representative of the samurai family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki still has a strong influence.

The samurai family originated from the Taira and Minamoto clans, as opposed to the public family, which generally refers to the emperor, the court, the nobles, etc. With the establishment of the shogunate, the public family has been completely ignored by the samurai family.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to enthrone Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he would call him Minamotoaki, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki would call himself the King of Japan, Minamotoaki and others.

The second time Oda Nobunaga's siege was shattered, the begging king Ashikaga Yoshiaki was exiled.

The beggar began his begging journey again, wandering in Hanoi, Izumi, Kii and other places. In February of the fourth year of Wanli, Ashikaga Yoshiaki began to wander to Tomo Castle, which was the territory of the Mori clan. The governor was called Mori. Hui Yuan.

Terumoto Mori was also in a difficult position facing Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

First, he was afraid of Oda Nobunaga. Owari Nobunaga was a big fool who had repeatedly proven himself in terms of force. Anyone who accepted Ashikaga Yoshiaki was an enemy of Oda Nobunaga;
Secondly, Ashikaga Yoshiaki secretly arrived at Tomon Castle without any notice, giving an order to keep silent to his ministers;
Thirdly, the Choshu Domain, also known as the Mori Domain, was still not fully prepared.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to the Mouri Domain without any greeting. This behavior forced Mouri Terumoto to break his alliance with Oda Nobunaga.

Mouri Terumoto had to protect Ashikaga Yoshiaki. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki still had a strong appeal among the samurai family, that is, among the various daimyo. Just like during the Three Kingdoms, no matter which power Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty went to, this side The princes must ensure the safety of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Once something happens to Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the territory of the Mori family, it will inevitably cause the daimyo to attack in groups.

In this case, Nagasaki said that he would take this hot potato, and Mouri Terumoto wanted to get rid of him immediately.

The beggar Yoshiaki Ashikaga's car and boat arrived in Nagasaki quickly. Terumoto Mori prepared everything at the first opportunity and sent Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his ministers as quickly as possible. Getting off the ship is like sending off the plague.

It takes about ten to fifteen days to get from Nagasaki to Tomo Castle. Because of the "two-way rush", the Mori family is sending them off and Nagasaki is picking them up. Within ten days, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is under the trestle in Nagasaki. Got the boat.

Neither Xu Wei, the governor of the Nagasaki Governor's Office, nor Nagasaki Senzong Ma Jin showed up. Omura Junchu went to greet the beggar, and then randomly found a large townhouse for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to live in, which was settled.

The next day, Xu Wei summoned Ashikaga Yoshiaki.According to the etiquette records in the "Fan Guo Yi Zhu" compiled by Hu Hui, the Minister of Rites between Yongle and Jingtai, the king of the vassal state had to kneel down at the dock to greet the angel. Word.

During the Jingtai period, King Li Hongwei of North Korea refused to kneel down, which caused the ceremony of canonizing the king to be delayed for more than a year. Then Li Hongwei's fourth uncle, Li Ao, launched a coup and won the throne of the King of North Korea.

After the vassal rituals were formulated, they were rarely changed.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as the king of Japan and the legal successor of the Muromachi shogunate who was enthroned by the Ming Dynasty, had to come to pay homage to the Ming Dynasty envoys instead of the Ming Dynasty angels.

Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still a loser who fights among himself, so there is no reason for Ming Dynasty to respect him too much.

"The King of Japan and General Genzhao pays homage to the Ming Emperor. Long live, long live, long live." Ashikaga Yoshiaki saluted in blunt Chinese. He was not worshiping an angel, but the Ming Emperor.

Xu Wei waited for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to kneel down and salute while facing the west, then sat down to the north and asked, "You can't speak Chinese as well as Omura Junchu."

The official language of the Japanese country is Chinese characters, and the language is also Chinese. Communication is actually not that difficult, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Chinese is not as good as Omura Juntada, the governor of the Omura family who gave Nagasaki to the Ming Dynasty.

"That's what the angel taught me." Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't dare to refute, he could only say that he was a bereaved dog, begging for food everywhere, with nowhere to go.

Xu Wei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and asked calmly: "Do you want to form a third Oda Nobunaga encirclement network?"

The Ashikaga Yoshiaki group participated in the second Nobunaga siege. The reason why there was a second time was because there was a first time.

The first time Oda Nobunaga encircled the net, the main force was Asai, Asakura, Miyoshi, and Ichikou Mune. Although the first melee against Oda Nobunaga ended with Oda Nobunaga winning, Oda Nobunaga He also paid an extremely painful price. For example, Oda Nobunaga's brother, Oda Shinji, died in the Battle of Usayama Castle. For example, he made many promises for the truce.

The second siege of Nobunaga was not entirely organized by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and after the siege was formed, Ashikaga Yoshiaki jumped back and stabbed Oda Nobunaga in the back.

However, Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the conflicts between the various daimyo and repeatedly instigated them, causing the various daimyo to fight among themselves. Oda Nobunaga pounced on the Asai family, and was finally surrounded by Oda Nobunaga for the second time. A big win.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki has always wanted to form a third Nobunaga siege, so that he could kill Oda Nobunaga, go to Luo again, and revive the Muromachi shogunate.

But the Maori family who occupied the western part of Honshu Island were not very happy.

"Yes!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki clenched his fists. He wanted to go to Luo again, but the result of begging for food was not fulfilled. No one was willing to help him. Even the Maori family was hesitant. On Honshu Island, Oda The only ones who are still threatening are Mori and the Takeda family.

"Do you know why the Maori family is unwilling?" Xu Wei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki. He failed. Did he sum up the reasons?

"Oda Nobunaga's bravery is really worrying." Ashikaga Yoshiaki chose to answer this question.

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Oh, it turns out that there is no reflection. There is a reason why the defeated dog is the defeated dog."

"You never reflect on your mistakes, that's why you make mistakes again and again."

"Your biggest mistake was that when Oda Nobunaga faced an enemy several times his own, you chose to stab him in the back."

"Oda Nobunaga helped you go to Luo and restored you to the position of shogun. Even if you were treated poorly, you should not stab you in the back. How do the many great names of Japan view you?"

"Moori Terumoto will definitely think: If he helps you go to Luo again, let alone whether he can deal with the world-famous Oda Nobunaga, he really returns to Gyeonggi. If you backstab the Maori family again, how will the Maori family survive? Where?"

"So, you shouldn't have stabbed Nobunaga in the back."

"If I didn't do this at that time, he would kill me." Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not think that today's situation is his own problem, it is Oda Nobunaga who is not loyal enough!

Xu Wei looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and shook his head again and said: "You are still alive now, so he can only expel you. How can he kill you? Even if Hate's back molars are bitten to pieces, he still can't kill you. Because if he kills you, he will have to bear too much criticism, so he can only exile you."

For Ashikaga Yoshiaki's betrayal, Oda Nobunaga should have a strong hatred in his heart, but when the major event was undecided, he could only act hastily.

The delay in forming the third Oda Nobunaga siege network was entirely due to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's personal loss of appeal. He, the Muromachi shogun, was politically dead from the day he left Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not dare to refute the Ming envoy, and he finally understood why the Maori family was so hesitant. It was obviously a struggle for survival with the Oda family, but the Maori family still did not want to completely break up.

The Mori family was not asking for mercy from Oda Nobunaga, but they were unwilling to cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the beggar king, is still a treacherous villain.

"Then what should I do?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki knelt on the ground and was silent for a long time before asking loudly.

"From today on, don't ask anything, don't say anything, just live a good life in Tangguan. Leave the rest to me. Give me your seal of the Japanese king." Xu Wei Tu saw the dagger and explained himself. His true intention was that he was interested in the gold seal in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's hand.

It was the seal awarded by the Ming Emperor to the Muromachi Shogunate, and it is still in use today.

From the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty began to canonize Japanese kings. Until the Ming Dynasty, in the 20th year of Wanli, the Ming Emperor ordered the Japanese King Taira Hideyoshi (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) to also canonize eight governors and canonize one Japanese Zen master. The commander is one person.

Legally speaking, the Japanese state has actually always been a dependent state of the Central Plains Dynasty, at least during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

The golden seal of the Japanese king was the main reason why Xu Wei took the person over.

"You don't know how to use this thing, just leave it to me." Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki still refused to agree, Xu Wei sneered and said, "Are you really unwilling to give it to me? Then I'll ask the Ming court for another one. .”

Xu Wei took out a copper seal. This seal ribbon was used by the Ming Emperor to confer him the title of Governor of Nagasaki. Ashikaga Yoshiaki refused to give it to him. Xu Wei was really embarrassed to ask the court for it, and the little emperor was very likely to give it to him. one.

Because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not really care about the plight of the Japanese country. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty only needed silver. The Ming court launched the pacification of the Japanese country just for the sake of a more stable import of silver. As for the life and death of the Japanese people, the Ming Dynasty did not care at all, because the emperor did not care.

The gold seal of the King of Japan is not as good as the official seal in Xu Wei's hand. With this bronze seal, Xu Wei can mobilize Haiyi to deliver Tang reports and memorials to the court, but with the gold seal, he can only send envoys to the Ming Dynasty. It took a long time to meet the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the probability of meeting the emperor was very slim.

Xu Wei asked for the gold seal just to facilitate his work.

Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still insisting, Xu Wei gave up the request and said to Sun Keyi: "Forget it, let's carve one out of a radish."

"Ah? Carve one out of a carrot?" Sun Keyi's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at his husband and said in horror.

"It is true that radishes are not easy to preserve. Just carve one out of stone, as long as it can be used." After careful consideration, Xu Wei decided to change the material to stone, which would last longer.

Sun Keyi said blankly: "Is this a question of what kind of engraving is used?"

Those who engrave privately will die.

Xu Wei said matter-of-factly: "Do you think His Majesty will blame us for engraving the seal privately? Anyway, this Japanese king is already in name only."

"That's not true." Sun Keyi still believed in the flexibility of the Ming court.

Especially His Majesty's flexibility. In order to amass profits, His Majesty even stayed with Wang Chonggu, who had committed the crime of transgression, to do things, privately carving seals and ribbons overseas, it was just a trivial matter.

"That's it, send the general to rest." Xu Wei waved his hand, indicating to Ma Jin to send him out.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Xu Wei blankly. He never thought that the great angel from the heaven could be so shameless!Ask for a seal and ribbon, but if you don't get it, just engrave it privately. Is this an envoy from the Ming Dynasty, which has the highest moral standards?

From the moment he was imprisoned in the sky prison, Xu Wei had abandoned all morals, because if he had morals, he would only end up in death row like Hu Zongxianyu.

Shameless?Just no morals.

Being an official in the imperial court depends on your moral standards, and being an official at sea depends on your moral standards, wouldn't Xu Wei go to sea in vain?
Sun Keyi once again saw Xu Wei's shamelessness and his calculations.

Xu Wei's private engraving of the seal was also false news. It released a signal that he did not care about Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the person who accepted the signal was not Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general, but the close ministers and retinue who followed Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki personally did not want to hand over the seal, but his close ministers such as Hosokawa Terukune, Ueno Hidemasa, Hatakeyama Akiken, etc., still delivered the gold seal to Xu Wei the next day.

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki is completely abandoned, these close ministers will also lose their last chance.

Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately, let alone they are not husband and wife?

The gold seal is very small, only about the size of the thumb, but with this, you can do things.

"In the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, let Kyushu Island's Otomo, Ito, Sagara, Shimazu, Ryuzoji and other families send envoys to Nagasaki to discuss important matters." Xu Wei was not very fond of this golden seal. Not caring, he handed it over to Sun Keyi and asked Sun Keyi to summon the daimyo of Kyushu Island.

"What about the Maori family, are you invited?" Sun Keyi wrote down these lists. These are all famous names on Kyushu Island, and the Maori clan is on Honshu Island, separated by a narrow strait.

"Let me write a letter to Mouri Terumoto in person." Xu Wei thought for a while and made a decision. He did not plan to invite the Maori family in the name of the Muromachi shogunate, but as the governor of Nagasaki, so that the Maori family could avoid fighting with each other. The Oda family immediately started a conflict, even though the two sides were already at odds with each other.

In his letter, Xu Wei warmly invited the Maori family to send envoys to Nagasaki to support the establishment of the Nagasaki shogunate. At the same time, he also made his own views clear. The Maori family was worth sending an envoy here.

In the letter, Xu Wei looked forward to the war between the Maori family and the Oda family. The final result was not wonderful.

Oda Nobunaga always fought unscrupulously, and there were traitors in the Maori family's territory, such as the Urakami clan.

The Maori family, which was already slightly inferior to Oda Nobunaga in terms of military force, would have an even more difficult time with the presence of a traitor. If Oda Nobunaga sent envoys to Kyushu Island again to convince the daimyo of Kyushu Island, With such a stab in the back of the Maori family, the Maori family, caught in a double attack, would definitely be defeated.

Oda Nobunaga went from east to west, while the Kyushu daimyo went from south to north. This was a flanking attack. No matter how powerful the Maori family was, they had no choice but to jump into the sea.

After Mouri Terumoto received Xu Wei's letter, he indeed sent an envoy to ask his adopted son Mouri Hidemoto to come to participate in the establishment of the Nagasaki Shogunate.

After two months of preparations, the alliance established by the Nagasaki Shogunate finally started as scheduled.

"Loser Alliance." Sun Keyi looked at the visitor and shook his head.

Those who came to participate in this alliance were all defeated generals of Oda Nobunaga. This group of people could not defeat Oda Nobunaga head-on, so they naturally resorted to conspiracy.

　Carving a Japanese king's seal and ribbon with a radish is also effective, as long as the Ming court recognizes it, because the seal and ribbon in the hands of the Muromachi shogunate was a reward from the Ming Dynasty.Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
