Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 292 The Shimazu clan recognizes its master

Shimazu Sadashi waited for about a quarter of an hour before being "escorted" by a group of Chu troops into the city and arrived at the Kino Town garrison.

Along the way, Shimazu Sadahisa saw that most of the Chu troops were stationed outside the city. Although there were a small number of troops in Kino Town, they basically only guarded the city gates and a few important intersections.

The people in the town were obviously not harassed by the army. The streets were very peaceful, the shops were open normally, and there were many pedestrians.

Seeing this situation, Shimazu Sadahisa basically knew what was going on. He knew that the general of the Chu army must intend to recruit them, and the Satsuma Kingdom could completely avoid this disaster of weapons.

He thought of the power of the Chu army and knew that Jiuzhou Island had absolutely no strength to be an enemy of the Chu army, so he had already made up his mind to surrender.

The garrison mansion was now completely taken over by the Chu army. All Shimazu Sadahisa's followers were left in the outer courtyard. Only he himself was led to the garden.

From a distance, he saw Jia Qiong, who was in a high position. At the moment, Jia Qiong was wearing casual clothes and enjoying Japanese songs and dances with Shimazu Munehisa. He looked more like a romantic scribe than a general.

However, although Jia Qiong's posture was leisurely, the power he exuded shocked Shimazu Sadahisa, who had lived for more than 80 years and met countless people.

Seeing Shimazu Sadahisa coming, Shimazu Munehisa came out to greet him and said respectfully: "Father, you are here.

Let me introduce to you, this is Lord Wuning of Great Chu, General Anton Jia Qiongjia. "

Shimazu Sadahisa asked knowingly: "Is Master Jia the most talented man in Chu, Jia Sanyuan who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

Jia Qiong asked in surprise: "Could it be that Mr. Zhenjiu has also heard of me?"

Shimazu Sadahisa said matter-of-factly: “Although Japan is far away from Dachu by the ocean, there are often merchant ships coming and going.

Master Jia's literary name has long been well-known in Japan, and I have also heard of General Jia's name for a long time.

The nobles of our dynasty are all proud to be able to read your Excellency. Your newly written "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is now a treasure that is hard to exchange for a lot of money in Japan. "

Shimazu Munehisa said with admiration: "What my father doesn't know is that Mr. Jia is not only the best in the world in literary talent, but also has outstanding martial arts. I can't survive ten breaths under your hands.

Now Mr. Jia is still the consort of Da Chu, marrying the tenth princess whom the Emperor of Da Chu loves most as his wife. "

Shimazu Sadahisa already knew something about Jia Qiong, and when he heard this again, he knew that Jia Qiong's status was extremely noble, and he respected him even more.

He bowed deeply and said, "I am truly lucky to be able to meet the general today."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Mr. Zhenjiu, please excuse me and have a seat.

The old gentleman speaks Chu so fluently. Could it be that he has been to Dachu before? "

Shimazu sat down and said, "Although I have never been to Dachu, I admire the culture of the country very much.

I specially invited learned people from the State of Chu to be my teachers. After studying for several years, I was able to reach my current level. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "No wonder, just listening to the old gentleman's words, he is almost the same as me from Chu.

This prince's fleet drifted at sea for 20 days before arriving here. Many soldiers were already very tired.

So I'm temporarily borrowing the old gentleman's place to rest. I apologize for disturbing you. "

Shimazu Sadahisa smiled and said: "It is the honor of our Shimazu clan that the army of the Kingdom of Heaven can be stationed in Kinye, so why bother?

I just don’t know why the general led his army here? "

Jia Qiong said: “The masters of the Eastern and Southern Dynasties sent envoys to Chang’an to request our country to send troops to help them suppress the rebellion.

The Japanese people originally migrated here from our Chinese people. They have the same roots as our dynasty and are a country of brothers.

The emperor is kind and cannot bear to see the descendants of China trapped in war, so he sent me to lead the army to help your country quell the chaos. "

Shimazu Sadahisa asked: "Why did the general say that the Japanese people migrated from China?" Jia Qiong said: "Historical records record that there was an alchemist Xu Fu in the Qin Dynasty who was sent by Qin Shihuang to lead a group of boys and girls to the sea to search for Penglai, Fangcun and the three fairy mountains of Yingzhou.

Later, Xu Fu discovered the Immortal Island, but he did not return by boat. Instead, he took people to take root there and multiply, and this island was Dongying.

Therefore, the Japanese people today are all the descendants of our Chinese people who migrated here and multiplied. "

Shimazu Sadahisa suddenly realized something and said excitedly: "So that's it, so I am also a Chinese citizen. This is really a supreme honor.

It's just generals. The Southern Dynasty said that we in the Northern Dynasty were rebelling. This is really nonsense. Our Emperor Guangming is the orthodox Japanese. "

Jia Qiong snorted coldly and said: "The little lord of Japan and the Northern Dynasties dares to call himself the emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Shimazu Sadaku hurriedly bowed and said: "I made a mistake, General, please atone for my sin."

Jia Qiong said calmly: "This time, the leader of the Southern Dynasty submitted a letter of submission and begged our country to send troops to help him suppress the rebellion.

The emperor has decreed to confer him the title of King Fusang, and he is the legitimate lord of Japan.

If anyone has any objections, he must first ask my Chu army if they agree.

Mr. Shimazu Sadahisa, you are the lord of Satsuma Country. What do you think? "

Shimazu Sadahisa said: "How dare I disobey the order of Emperor Chu in a small country called Satsuma. I just have something to ask the general."

Jia Qiong raised her hand and said, "Old sir, please speak."

Shimazu Sadahisa asked: "This time the general comes with a large army, he will definitely be able to clear the world quickly.

But I don’t know whether the army will return to Dachu after helping the Southern Dynasty put down the rebellion, or whether it will continue to stay in Japan. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Nanmudu Village is right, the old gentleman is indeed a smart man.

The rebellion between Japan and the Northern and Southern Dynasties had lasted for decades, causing a large number of defeated samurai and ronin to flee to the sea and become Japanese pirates.

Although they are weak, they dare not confront our army head-on.

However, our maritime territory is more than ten thousand miles away. These Japanese pirates roam around, targeting areas with weak defenses. They often harass our waters and have seriously affected the stability of coastal areas.

The reason why the emperor was willing to send troops to help the Southern Dynasties was not only out of kindness, but also to fundamentally cut off the source of Japanese pirates.

Therefore, in order to prevent another rebellion in Japan in the future, our court will set up a Japanese Protectorate in Japan, and I will be the first Governor of Japan.

King Fuso has agreed to donate Kyushu Island, Ezo Island and Sado Island.

I will send a large army to garrison the three islands to help you maintain a stable situation. The Protectorate is located on Kyushu Island. "

Shimazu Sadahisa heard that the Chu State was going to establish the Japanese Protectorate, and that Jia Qiong would be the Japanese Governor, and he immediately knew what to do to obtain the greatest benefits.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The Shimazu clan is willing to submit the whole country to the general and serve the general." Shimazu Munehisa also knelt aside.

Jia Qiong laughed and said: "Those who understand current affairs are heroes, and Mr. Zhenjiu is truly a hero.

Since the old gentleman is willing to submit to our court, then we are all ministers of Chu.

Old gentleman, there is no need to pay such a big courtesy. Please get up quickly. "

However, Shimazu Sadahisa did not stand up, but said: "The general is the hero of the world, and the old man is just a pawn.

The Shimazu clan is willing to serve the shogun as their master and to be your retainers, please shogun. "
