Haidonghang

Chapter 15

"Second leader." Just as Liu Jinxing undressed Xiaohong, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Damn it, who is it?" Liu Jinxing was very annoyed when he saw that his good deed was about to come true, but someone interrupted him, and asked angrily towards the door.

"It's me, Wang Dali." The person outside the door replied.

If it were someone else, Liu Jinxing would definitely open the door and beat him up.But Wang Dali can't, because Wang Dali is Chen Zuyi's attendant.Now that Wang Dali is here, it means that Chen Zuyi must have something to look for.

"Wait." Liu Jinxing said to Wang Dali outside the door, and then hurriedly put on his clothes.Then he made a silent gesture to Xiaohong who was lying on the bed, and after pulling up the bed curtain, he quickly walked towards the door of the room.

"Did brother have something to do with me?" After opening the door, Liu Jinxing asked Wang Dali.

"Yes, the boss asked you to go to the hall to find him now, and he will talk to you about the specific matters."

"Okay." Hearing that Chen Zuyi was looking for him, Liu Jinxing didn't dare to hesitate, so he hurried to the hall with Wang Dali.

"How about the things I told you to do?" Chen Zuyi asked Liu Jinxing as soon as he entered.

"Don't worry, I have already sent two masters to sneak into Annan Kingdom. After they find the survivors of the Chen Dynasty, they will safely escort them to Ming Kingdom."

"In addition, I sent another person to the base camp to inform them to make arrangements in advance. Counting the days, it should be here these days." Liu Jinxing reported the recent situation to Chen Zuyi one by one.

"Well, you did a good job." Chen Zuyi was very satisfied with Liu Jinxing's performance.

"Okay, let me tell you the business next. According to the informant, an official ship from Dongpu to Ming will pass through this sea tomorrow tomorrow.

"There are a lot of tribute items on the ship. As long as we can intercept them, we can make a lot of money. But there are Dongying warriors guarding it, so according to the advice of the military adviser, we will adopt the tactic of outflanking tomorrow."

The Dongying mentioned here actually refers to Japan.

More than 1 years ago, the Japanese archipelago gradually separated from the Eurasian continent, forming the shape of the archipelago today.

The original inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago are called Ainu people.Later, some people immigrated to Japan from Sakhalin Island via Hokkaido, and these people were called North Road immigrants.

Some people entered the eastern part of Honshu from the South Pacific Islands, and these people are called Nanyang Road immigrants.

Some people came from North Siberia and North China, and entered the central part of Honshu through the Korean Peninsula. These people are called Korean immigrants.

Some people came from the Yangtze River Basin and traveled eastward to northern Kyushu. These people are called East China Sea Route immigrants.

As for the last group of people, they are called Okinawa Road immigrants.They come from South China and Southeast Asia, through Taiwan, Okinawa to southern Kyushu.

These five groups of immigrants, together with the Ainu people in Japan, constitute the Japanese nation.

Later, Japan experienced a transition from the Jomon period to the Yayoi period.

In the Yayoi period, rice, bronze, and iron appeared.Japanese society has undergone a qualitative leap, and all of this is inseparable from a person in China—Xu Fu.

Xu Fu: Zi Junfang, proficient in astronomy and geography, also made great achievements in medicine and alchemy.

When Qin Shihuang was in power, Xu Fu was ordered by the first emperor to lead 6000 young men and women into the sea to seek immortals.In addition, he also brought [-] people including seeds, sailors, mechanics, and good riders and archers.

Later, when they went out to sea, they unexpectedly encountered strong winds and waves, and Xu Fu and others were finally forced to dock at a place on Hachijo Island.

Since there was no way to return to Xianyang on time, he would definitely die after returning, so Xu Fu led his men to settle here.And the advanced production technology and language culture of the Qin Dynasty were promoted locally.

The local residents saw that Xu Fu brought many good things that they had never seen before. Later, Xu Fu was sent by heaven to save them, so they respected Xu Fu as a great god.

From then on, Xu Fu called himself the Great God of Martial Arts, a descendant of the Great God Amaterasu.After six years of conquest by Xu Fu, he pacified all forces and established a unified Yamato dynasty.

Later, with the continuous evolution of history, many new forces appeared on the Japanese island.Among them, I have to mention a country called "Yamatai Country" located in the northeast of Kyushu Island, Japan.

This country is different from other regimes, because other regimes are all dominated by men, but the king of this country is a woman.Her name is "Himiko".

Queen Himiko was originally a priestess who controlled sacrifices. Because she was good at ghosts and gods, she was crowned king by the people of Yamatai Kingdom. (Of course, some people suspect that Queen Himiko is actually a boy.)
Later, Queen Himiko sent her envoy Nan Shengmi to meet Wei Emperor Cao Rui. Cao Rui felt his pro-Wei attitude and rewarded him with a lot of property.

In addition, Cao Rui also gave Queen Himiko a gold seal with purple ribbon engraved with "King of Wei Wa".The country where it is located is called "Waguo".

From then on, the name of Wa Kingdom appeared in Chinese history books.

There is a record about Queen Himiko in "Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · Japanese Biography", "The country is also based on a man as the king. It lived for seven or eighty years. The Japanese country was in chaos and attacked each other for years. A woman was established as the king, named Himihu, who works in the way of ghosts, can confuse people, has grown up, has no husband and son-in-law, and has a male brother to rule the country. Since he became a king, he has rarely seen him. He has thousands of servants to serve himself, and only one man feeds him. Resignation and exit. Living in palaces and buildings, the city gates are strictly guarded, and there are often soldiers guarding them."

Later, the Yamato Kingdom rose up on the Yamato Plain in the Nara area. Since many large tombs (Kamezuka Burial Mounds) remained during this period, this period is also called the "Kofun Era".

In the "Era of the Five Kings of Japan", five kings successively ruled Yamato.They attached great importance to exchanges with China, and successively sent missions to China to request canonization, and thus brought Chinese Chinese characters, Confucianism and Buddhist culture with them.

Later, Queen Tuigu came to the throne and appointed her nephew Prince Shotoku as regent.

During the 30 years of Prince Shotoku's regency, he carried out a series of reform measures internally.

For example, the official title of "emperor" was adopted, the system of "twelve ranks of crowns" was formulated, the "Seventeen-Article Constitution" was formulated, Buddhism was promoted, and temples were built.

Because this series of reforms took place in the period of Queen Tuigu, it is called "Tuigu Reform" in history.

Prince Shotoku paid more attention to the exchanges with China, and sent Ono sister (note, don’t think that he is really a sister because he is called a sister, in fact, she is a pure old man.) to the Sui Dynasty.

Later, Empress Tuigu and Prince Shotoku died one after another, and the power minister Soga took advantage of the chaos to control the government and appointed the emperor without authorization, causing chaos to the court. (Sowo Ezo rejected Prince Shotoku’s son Yamabee, and supported Prince Tamura on the throne. During the Huangji Dynasty, Ezo’s son went to Lu to directly recruit labor to build his father and son’s mausoleum, which can be said to be in power.)
At the time when the social crisis was serious, the exchange students sent to China during the Tuigu Dynasty returned home one after another.A reformist force formed in the imperial court.

The eldest brother, the prince, and the bureaucratic descendant, Kamazu, formed a reformist force, and began to point the finger at Soga and other forces.

In the fourth year of Emperor Huanggek, when Prince Nakadai, Nakatomi Kamazu and others were receiving envoys from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla at Emperor Huanggek, Prince Zhongda suddenly drew his sword and assassinated Soga.After Su Wo Eizo got the news, he knew that the situation was over, so he set himself on fire and died.

After wiping out the power of the Soga family, the reformists established a new regime centered on Emperor Kotoku.

After the establishment of the new regime, the name of the founding year was "Dahua".Following the "French preparation" of the Tang system, reforms began to be implemented.It is called "Dahua Reform" in history.

After the Taika reform, Japan abolished the system of monopoly power by the great aristocrats, and established an ancient centralized state.Japan also officially changed its name from Yamato to Japan.It means "the country where the sun rises".

The Taika reform allowed Japan to be civilized and entered a feudal society. However, the struggle surrounding the political power has intensified in the ruling class of the feudal society.

During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty 20 times, and each time they studied in China for nearly 20 years.

Sculpture, music, astronomy, poetry, medicine, architecture, etc. of the Tang Dynasty were introduced to Japan through these envoys, which greatly promoted the development of Japan.

Since Emperor Hengmu moved the capital of Japan from Heijo-kyo (Nara) to Heian-kyo (Kyoto), Japan has also entered the "Heian era" from the "Nara era".

After the Taika reform, Nakatomi Kamazu was given the surname "Fujiwara" by the emperor because of his meritorious service. From then on, the Fujiwara family began to step onto the stage of history and controlled the government for a long time.

In Japan, the minister who assists the young emperor is called "regent", and when the emperor becomes an adult, the minister who assists the emperor is called "guanbai".

Because the Fujiwara family held the positions of regent and Guanbai for a long time, the period when the Fujiwara family was in power is collectively referred to as Sheguan politics.

The growing power of the Fujiwara family began to threaten the emperor's dominance.

So in the period of Emperor Shirakawa, in order to resist his relative Fujiwara, he gave way to Emperor Horikawa, who was only 8 years old, and became Emperor Taishang. He established a hall in his residence and appointed officials.

The court was supported by officials who were oppressed by the Fujiwara clan, and the emperor thus had the strength to compete with the Fujiwara clan. This period is called the "Institution Era".

During this period, many samurai groups emerged, and the two largest samurai groups were Heiji and Genji.

Later, a battle for the throne broke out between Emperor Chongde and Emperor Goshirakawa. Since this civil strife occurred in the first year of Baoyuan, it was known as the "Baoyuan Rebellion" in history.

Finally, with the support of Kiyomori Taira and Yoshitomo Minamoto, Emperor Goshirakawa preemptively won the civil strife.

Both Hira Kiyomori and Minamoto Yoshitomo were rewarded for this, but Hira Kiyomori got a higher official position than Minamoto Yoshitomo, which made Minamoto Yoshitomo very dissatisfied, and the conflict between the two continued to intensify.

Later, Minamoto Yoshitomo took advantage of the opportunity of Hira Kiyomori to leave the capital to visit the shrine, joined forces with Fujiwara Nobuyuki to detain the Emperor and the Emperor, and killed the Emperor's cronies.

Hearing the news, Hira Kiyomori, who was outside, immediately rushed back to the capital, defeated Yuan Yoshitomo, and killed Fujiwara Nobuyuki, and Yuan Yoshitomo was killed by his subordinates when he fled to Owari.Minamoto Yoshitomo's 13-year-old son Minamoto Yoshitomo survived and was exiled in Izu.It is known as "Pingzhi Rebellion" in history.

After this incident, the power of the Ping clan expanded rapidly and established its hegemony.There are more than 500 manors under the Ping family.

The Taira's dictatorship suppressed the emperor and the nobles, and the upper-level forces continued to launch a reactionary struggle against the Taira clan.In addition to this, local dissatisfaction with the Ping's dictatorship is also constantly surging.

At this time, Minamoto Yoritomo, who was exiled to Izu, was favored by the local tyrant Hojo Tokimasa and became his son-in-law.

Later, Minamoto Yoritomo, with the help of his father-in-law Hojo Shizheng, launched an army to crusade against the Taira clan, which failed disastrously at first.

Later, the two armies fought again at Fujikawa. Minamoto Yoritomo learned the lessons of the previous failures and did not underestimate the enemy. While posing a decisive battle frontally, he adopted a roundabout outflanking tactic, so that Takeda Nobuyoshi led his army to outflank the enemy's rear when the night was deep and quiet.When Takeda's army passed through the Fuji swamp, they disturbed the teal ducks that flocked in the swamp. The ducks frightened and croaked and flew wildly.

After this battle, Ping Qingsheng fell ill and passed away two months later.

Later, the battle of Tanpu broke out between the Hera clan and the Genji clan. Minamoto Yoritomo's three armies flanked the Hera clan's army from land and sea at the same time, and won the final victory.

After the elimination of the Taira family, Minamoto Yoritomo did not take over the Kyoto government, but went to Kamakura to establish his own power.Later, Emperor Gotoba awarded Minamoto Yoritomo the title of "General Who Conquers the Barbarians", and the Kamakura Shogunate was formally established.

Since the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate, the struggle between the emperor and the shogunate has not stopped for a moment.

Later, under the call of Emperor Go-Daigo, wealthy families from all over the country began to collapse one after another. The Kamakura shogunate sent the Ashikaga clan to quell the chaos.In the end, Yoshisada Nitta, a wealthy Ueno family, captured Kamakura, and the Kamakura shogunate collapsed.

Ashikaga Takashi, because of his meritorious service in the rebellion, was given the name by the emperor and changed his name to "Ashikaga Takashi". Because he was not canonized as a general, "Ashikaga Takashi" felt resentful and planned to wait for an opportunity.

Later, Takashi Ashikaga occupied Kyoto, put Emperor Go-Daigo under house arrest, and supported Prince Toyohito of Meiin as Emperor Guangming.Later, Emperor Guangming appointed Ashikaga Takashi as the "General Who Conquered Yi" to establish the Ashikaga Shogunate in Kyoto, known as the "Muromachi Shogunate" in history.

After the establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate, the national situation has been turbulent for a long time, and peasant uprisings have occurred frequently in various places.Some refugees began to flee overseas in order to escape the war.

Some of them fled to the coast of China.This part joined the pirate group in order to survive. These pirate groups often plundered the towns along the coast of Daming. Because most of their members came from the Japanese country, the Chinese called them "Japanese pirates".

Zhu Yuanzhang was very troubled by this and vented his anger on Japan, and later found someone to terminate the tributary trade relationship with Japan.

At this time, due to frequent civil wars in Japan and the exhaustion of financial resources, the Muromachi shogunate Yoshimitsu Ashikaga tried his best to restore the tribute trade relationship between the two countries during the reign of Emperor Jianbun.

But not long after the envoy returned to Japan, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu got the news of Zhu Di's accession to the throne, so Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent the monk Keimi Kenaka from Tenryuji Temple to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

And what Chen Zuyi hit this time was the idea of ​​this tribute ship.
