Chapter 595.
It was with great difficulty that I was able to beg a tribute to Ashikaga Yoshinobu from Hu Guang.
Zhang Anshi is also lazy to see, directly asked to send to the newspaper of the Di Di newspaper, so that it is published on fire.
On the other hand, Zhang Anshi’s charter, too, was presented.
Zhang Anshi almost divided this Japanese country into five and then divided it among the four imperial grandsons.
After reading it, Zhu Di did not say much. He was not clear about the situation in Japan, and after thinking for a moment, he summoned the crown prince, Zhang Anshi, and the four imperial grandsons to come and see him together.
The four grandsons, Zhu Jun, the second, and Zhu Jun-yun, the fourth, were born to one of the Crown Prince’s concubines, Li, while Zhu Jun-yong and Zhu Jun-Sun, the third, were sons of the Crown Prince’s concubine, Zhang.
They had all roughly reached adulthood; in fact, Zhang had another son, but because he was young, he did not participate in this enthronement.
This Zhu Zhan Yong and Zhu Zhan-Sun met up with Zhang Anshi before entering the Noon Gate.
The two saw Zhang Anshi, extraordinarily intimate, joyful and talkative, Zhu Zhanlong smiled and said, “Uncle, mother consort scolded you again, saying that you taught us badly.”
Zhu Zhan-Sun said, “Mother Consort’s original words were that A-Uncle spends all his time away from home, and people don’t see …… him.”
Zhang Anshi smilingly said: “less to nag these. Later into the palace, see your royal grandfather, be careful to deal with, your royal grandfather is very fierce, if you know what you do on weekdays, carefully peeled your skin.”
Zhu Zhan-Sun spat out his tongue, too frightened to make a sound.
On the contrary, Zhu Zhanlong did not care and said with a wink, “If I am ridiculous, can I be as ridiculous as my second uncle when he was young? He hasn’t even peeled off his skin yet, where is my turn?”
Zhang Anshi glared at him and said, “You brat, don’t insult the King of Han behind his back, I’m a brother to him, I can’t listen to this.”
Zhu Zhanlong then became even more imposing, saying, “Good, then put aside the second uncle, mother consort also said, A uncle like my age when, but three days do not hit the upper room to uncover the tile ……”
Zhang Anshi then stepped forward and violently abducted his neck with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, “Shut up, don’t give me any nonsense, obediently follow me into the palace and face the saint in a good way.”
On the other side, Zhu Jun and Zhu Junyin were following far behind and didn’t come over. Seeing Zhang Anshi and Zhu Junyong so close to each other, they couldn’t help but feel a bit of envy in their eyes.
When the eunuchs led them into the hall, they saluted Zhu.
Zhu Di saw these royal grandchildren, but it is not like seeing Zhu Zhanji that intimate.
Instead, with a cold face, he swept over their faces and surveyed them for a few moments before saying, “You’ve all grown up, you’re all old enough, so to speak, to start a family, your uncles, as well as your cousins, have all built up their careers overseas long ago, and now it’s finally your turn.”
Zhu Di’s face became more and more stern as he said, “It is the iron law of this dynasty for imperial sons and grandsons to go out to the vassal states, and now that you have reached adulthood, you should do the same.”
These grandsons, the face of Zhu Di is still quite fearful, four people do not dare to come out of the atmosphere, panicked kowtow, a respectful mouth said: “comply with the decree.”
Zhu Di long standing, back hands, and pacing, the side said, “This time to teach you out of town, just still need to wait for some time, to be the army into Fusang, and then I will give you military households, civilian households, craftsman households to go to the Japanese resettlement, just the various places of the feudal land, I have also been selected for you to set up a good …… also lost ha, take to them to see.”
Hearing this, Yiluoha did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly took the maps that Zhang Anshi had presented and sent them to the four royal grandsons.
This Zhu Zhan Yong and Zhu Zhan-Sun only casually swept a glance at the two of them and said, “It is just for Sunchen to comply with the decree.”
And that Zhu Zhan Yin took a look at his own vassal land, but it was on a large island in the north of Japan. He hesitated for a moment, and finally kowtowed and said, “Sunchen obeys the decree.”
Only Zhu Jun, the second eldest, pursed his lips and hesitated to answer for a long time.
Zhu then looked at him and raised his eyebrows, “Why don’t you make a sound?”
Zhu Jun said, “Sunchen …… Sunchen …… also doesn’t …… have no opinion… …”
Zhu Di frowned up, see him so unhappy, can not help but say: “But I seem, you should be words have something in it! What words, straight talk no harm, you in the East Palace, in addition to Zhanji, the oldest, out of the town of Japan, the four emperors, you are their elder brother, what words, is not to say?”
Zhu Jun, with a hesitant look on his face, thought for a long time before he said with trepidation, “Sun-shen’s vassal land, which is across the sea from the Joseon Kingdom, is really good as a matter of fact, but Sun-shen does not dare to accept it.”
At these words, Zhu Gaoqi was the first to frown.
Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, was still smiling.
Zhu Di is not change color, he is relying on the Jingdan only to do the son of heaven, naturally know, when Taizu high emperor, the biggest hidden trouble is to treat their own children and grandchildren, although love, but in the treatment of children and grandchildren’s attitudes, still still there is a difference, which has buried the root of the trouble, so that the Jianwen and the feudal lords to produce a huge disconnect.
For Zhu Di, if his grandson feels that something is not right, it is better to say it outright than to bury it in his heart.
So he said, “Do you despise this place?”
Zhu Jun Jun said, “It is Sun Chen who dares not specialize in beauty.”
He said this as if he was saying that his clan was very good, but he did not dare to accept it, rather like the gesture of Kong Rong giving up his pear.
But which of the people standing here is not a man of honor? But already saw that his attempt was to say that he, as the oldest of the four imperial grandsons, felt that his own clan was not proper.
Zhu Di turned his eyes slightly, so he glanced at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi immediately said, “Your Majesty, this is the best place for a clan here, and Jun is older, so I made him guard this place …….”
Zhu nodded.
Granted, but apparently, it seems that some people aren’t too convinced.
After all …… Zhang Anshi is Zhu Zhanlong and Zhu Zhan-Sun two people’s own uncle, and the old two and the old four, but it is a layer of separation, and even to the fine, between each other, and there is no relationship.
Is it not natural for a blood uncle to favor his own nephews and leave the benefits to them?
For Zhu Jun, it was a different story.
He knew in his heart that his mother consort’s status was not high, and that going to the clan town was a foregone conclusion, and that he might not be able to go back to Nanking City for eternity in his life.
The division of this vassal land was of great importance and determined not only his life, but also the fate of his children and grandchildren!
So at this time, he is very clear, can take advantage of the opportunity to be able to in front of their own royal grandfather to seize some more benefits, then seize some more, if not, once into a fixed, then may be a lifetime no longer have such an opportunity.
Therefore, although he had a few moments of timidity in his heart, but he was determined, so he hardened his head and said, “Such a good feudal land, Sun Chen thought that it is better to let the third brother for good …… I implore the emperor to be complete.”
Third brother is Zhu Zhanlong, to say, a few nephews, in addition to the oldest Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanlong and Zhang Anshi’s relationship is the best, from Zhu Zhanji alone outside the experience, Zhu Zhanlong slightly grown up, weekdays as long as Zhang Anshi went to the East Palace, Zhu Zhanlong as a follower of the same, looking for an opportunity to follow this uncle.
Although Zhu Jun didn’t know about the situation in Japan, he knew that Zhu Zhanlong would be able to get the best piece of feudal land, and that he would not lose out if he exchanged with him.
Zhu Di frowned up, in his heart, since he also knew clearly what everyone was thinking.
Zhang Anshi must have been close to his own nephews, so he would have favored Zhu Zhanlong and Zhu JunSun.
When Zhu Jun was dissatisfied with this, he asked for a change of fiefdom.
And for Zhu Di, they are their own grandchildren, in addition to Zhu Zhanji which is their own hope, the rest of the people are also their own flesh and blood, the heart of the hand are meat, but the same view.
But Zhang Anshi said, “Is this what Jun really wants? Do you really want to replace them?”
Zhu Jun nodded his head.
Zhang Anshi then sighed, “This vassal land, but it is blessed with a unique talent, once it is replaced, you must not regret it.”
Without hesitation, Mr. Zhu Jun said, “No complaints.”
Zhang Anshi then said to Zhu Di, “Your Majesty, Jun Jun is the oldest of all the grandsons, and I had hoped that he would take over the best feudal land in Japan, but since he is determined to do so, I think it would be more appropriate to replace his feudal land with that of Zhan Yong.”
Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi with ulterior motives before nodding, “In that case, then it’s settled.”
It’s just that such a small hiccup more or less displeased Zhu Di.
Although Zhu Di is by cutting his own nephews started, but because of this, so Zhu Di is extraordinarily focused on the harmony of children and grandchildren, the result is because of the matter of the feudal land, quite a few unpleasant, so he could not help but frown up, a good mood all of a sudden to the fall of a few points, then waved his hand, indicating that all the people to leave.
The crowd exited the temple.
Zhu Gaoqi’s face is a little ironic, obviously this do father, also can not help but for the disappointment.
Just now he is too busy, there are many things still have to be disposed of, and mellow mood, but also did not scold his sons, just shook his head, with a few displeasure to go.
Then Zhu Jun Jun obediently stepped forward and bowed to Zhang Anshi, saying, “Uncle, it’s me who has been rash …….”
Zhang Anshi glanced at him, sighed, and said, “There’s no harm done.”
So Zhang Anshi left with Zhu Junlong and Zhu JunSun who were waiting for him.
Zhu Zhanlong looked at Zhang Anshi’s face and said with a few strangeness, “Uncle, I see that you seem to be very relaxed.”
“It’s not easy to talk about.” Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “In fact, I didn’t expect that, in the end, someone would want to replace your feudal land. Originally, Auntie wanted to save face, to appear selfless, and to give that piece of Feng Shui land to Jun, but what did I expect, he actually refused to accept it.”
Zhu Zhan Yong froze and blinked, “Uncle, what does this mean?”
“There is no point.” Zhang Anshi patted his shoulder and said, “In the future, when you are rich and powerful, you must remember that uncle is good to you.”
Zhu Zhanlong was even more confused and froze, “Ah …… this ……”
Zhang Anshi said: “By the way, your clan land, the future to develop? If you want to develop, Xinzhou side, to people have people, to machinery have machinery, you can hire uncle’s people, we together joint venture ……”.
“Joint venture ……,” Zhu Zhanlong was confused and said, “Joint venture to do what?”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Of course it is to earn silver ah, we are strong together, on the battlefield pro-uncle and nephew, within a few years, we are the world’s most affluent vassal.”
Zhu Zhanlong said with a look of disbelief, “Uncle wouldn’t be lying to me, right?”
He carries suspicion of Zhang Anshi, after all, …… Zhang Anshi has a previous record.
Zhang Anshi touched his shoulder and said, “Hey …… this thing, we turn back to discuss in detail, but is not urgent, anxious also can not eat hot tofu …… first wait for my two brothers good news say it. ”
…………
On the other hand, Zhu Jun and Zhu Junyin, the two brothers, bid farewell to Zhang Anshi and then went straight back to the East Palace.
Zhu Zhan Yin waited until he had returned to his residence before he worriedly said to Zhu Jun, who had pulled over, “Second brother, how could you be so bold as to say such words in front of Imperial Grandpa ……?”
Zhu Jun laughed bitterly, “There is no way around it. Although we two brothers are also grandsons, there is a world of difference between us. Naturally, I dare not compare myself to my eldest brother, who is the eldest grandson and will surely succeed the throne, so no one would dare to have any delusions of grandeur. But soon, our brothers will go out to sea, each going his own way, since then, straying to the ends of the earth, this feudal …… land should not fight for it? If we don t fight, we may not have a chance in our whole life.”
Zhu Zhan Yin said with a puzzled face, “But A-Uncle clearly said that …… the original feudal land given to you was the best ……”
Zhu Jun, however, looked at Zhu Zhan Yin as if he were an idiot and said, “You are really the world’s number one fool. Even though we call the King of Song as our uncle, in reality, you and I, brothers, do not have any real kinship with him! How could he give us such a favor for no reason? It’s just a figure of speech! Overseas things, I may not understand, but the human heart …… I do understand.”
Zhu Zhan Yin tilted his head and thought for a long half day, then got frustrated and said, “Second brother has a point, hey …… who let our mother consort …… be inferior to others… …We don’t have such an uncle either.”
He drooped his head and sighed long and hard.
Zhu Jun said, “In any case, I have questioned this in front of Royal Grandpa, and Royal Grandpa can’t be as biased in favor of the others as the Song King at this point in time. Since I have agreed to the land exchange, even though it may not please Grandpa, Father, and the King of Song, at least I have achieved my goal. In the future, you and I, brothers, will be in Japan for all eternity, so they won’t be able to reach us, and we’ll be able to take care of ourselves at that time.”
Zhu Jun was pleased with himself, for this time, he did take some risks, but at last, he achieved his goal, and the vassal land of Zhu Zhanlong must be very good, and it should be the best vassal land selected by Zhang Anshi, which would be enough for him to live overseas in the future.
…………
A military horse, is landing at a harbor, which is really a natural harbor, very excellent, a large number of sea ships directly approach, and after that, uncountable military horses land one after another.
Immediately afterward, it was met by a local warrior.
These samurai, have long been secretly informed, know that the Ming army is about to enter the army, there are a lot of, are supporting the Ashikaga family of people, this Ashikaga family, in the Japanese country as a general of the conquest of the barbarians, a full six generations of people, the operation of close to a hundred years, their vassals, has long been spread throughout the Japanese country, although this time triggered the opposition of the whole of the Japanese country, but they have a number of supporters, but not in the minority.
As a result, these retainers remained in various parts of Japan, resisting. When they heard the news that the Ming army had helped the Ashikaga family to pacify the rebellion, they were naturally encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted after the despair.
A group of retainers and samurai had already gathered here, waiting for Zhang Yoking and the others to land, and then went to see them.
The first person, who was at the head, saluted Zhang Yoking.
Zhang nodded his head and asked for his name, only to realize that the other party was the local feudal lord Edo clan.
This Edo clan, which dates back hundreds of years and has always resided in this area, has also brought hundreds of people to join them at this time.
In the face of business, Zhang Yoking is still serious, plus many years as a general, still very powerful, at this time the face said: “Your men and horses gathered, as auxiliary troops to use, for us to do the guide, or for us to dredge the grain road. The rest of the time, there is no need to labor.”
This Edo’s greatly surprised, said, “General, this time we brought, are elite soldiers, which brave samurai …… have more than three hundred and seventy people, the rest of the soldiers and guards ……”
Zhang Yoking said, “There is no need to say much, just play the hand.”
The domineering nature of Zhang Yoking made the Ashikaga retainers and samurai, led by the Edo clan, more or less disgruntled.
Although they have been looking forward to the Great Ming Heavenly Warriors to come, but who knows, this Great Ming Heavenly Warriors, obviously do not value them.
What’s more, the Ming army that the vanguard came here this time is not large in scale, but only a district of 3,000 people up and down, which makes them even more worried.
To know, this rebellion, the scale is too large, at this time, the three thousand Ming army, should be here to temporarily defend, and later wait for the back of a steady stream of army landing, and then make plans.
However, Zhang Yoking didn’t seem to agree, believing that soldiers are precious and quick, and actually insisted on starting the attack immediately.
This more Edo’s more and more feel that the state of affairs to such a point, even if the great Ming heavenly soldiers, arrogant to this point, may not be able to restore the defeat.
At that moment, each of them was anxious, and very soon, they realized …… that what they thought before was all wrong.
When the rebels realized the arrival of the Great Ming vanguard, they also began to gather, tens of thousands of elite troops, and aggressively killed Edo.
A great battle is imminent.
Apparently the rebels also hoped that they would be able to crush this force of celestial soldiers quickly to save them a long night’s sleep.
The two sides then fought a great battle in the area of Edo.
The war had just begun with the roar of artillery.
As far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with rain of fire.
The rebels were shocked, and the warriors, all in armor, watched the rain of fire fall, with booms and smoke everywhere around them, and even more so, teaching them to turn to blood and flesh.
And soon the Ming army began to close in under the roar of artillery.
This tactic of coordinated infantry and artillery is the most important drill subject of the Model Battalion, using artillery to disrupt the enemy’s position, after which the infantry attacked, enough to make any enemy, without the ability to fight back and fight back.
While the Edo clan and others who resided in the rear ranks, they saw the most fearful sight in the world, the 10,000 or so elite rebels, collapsing only in an instant, and then, for a brief time, before the war even began, it became a one-sided massacre.
