Seiwa

Zheng He's fleet sailed mightily to Japan. During the voyage, when they encountered suspicious sharp-edged clippers, they immediately raised their horns to issue a warning.

Center content in one sentence, stop the boat, check!

There are many translators in the fleet, and the Mandarin and dialects are unintelligible. Japanese, Annanese, and Siamese are used in turn.There is always a language to communicate.

If you don't stop the ship and run directly, the consequences will be very serious.

As soon as the horn was closed, the bombardment was fired directly.

The so-called courtesy first and soldiers later, if you don't listen to persuasion, you can't blame others.

Since Emperor Hongwu promulgated the ban on the sea, in the coastal provinces, except for the army and guard boats, private boards are not allowed to enter the sea.

From the Jianwen Dynasty to the Yongle Dynasty, the imperial court issued strict orders again, and all the sharp-headed boats used by the people were changed to flat-headed.

In the early years of Yongle, apart from the Ming army boatmen and the tribute fleets of various countries, only Japanese pirates and pirates were left in the waters of the Ming Dynasty.

What Zheng He's fleet encountered were Japanese pirates who raided through the mountains in April.

Since the last years of Hongwu, this group of Japanese pirates has repeatedly attacked Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, burning, killing and looting, doing everything.

The Ming army encircled and suppressed them many times, but they were still unable to completely wipe them out. They would make a comeback after a while, and often took advantage of the guards' unpreparedness to find opportunities to go ashore to plunder. They were very cunning and difficult to deal with.

Property, food, livestock, and even people are all targets of robbery.After succeeding, they fled into the sea immediately, and the boat master of the Weisuo got the news that the Japanese pirates had already fled into the vast sea without a trace.

After several successful sneak attacks and retreating, it is easy to conclude that there is an internal response to this Japanese pirate on the shore.

Qiancang commanded Shangshu, asking the imperial court to allow the guards to search and arrest the Japanese pirates.

After some court discussions, the proposal failed.

Those who oppose it have very good reasons, and they wantonly searched and arrested without any evidence, which is really a nuisance to the people.

The commander of Shangshu gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing he could do.Because of this memorial, he was targeted by the inspector censor again, and he couldn't move easily.You can meet each other, but if you fail to pass the open inspection, unannounced visits are also doomed to fail.Once the order is issued, the memorial to impeach him will be sent to Nanjing immediately.

If the big hat of displacing troops against orders must be buckled, the official will be over.

One after another, the officers and soldiers of the coastal guards were tied hands and feet, and could only passively wait for the Japanese pirates to come ashore, but the Japanese pirates relied on internal support to succeed repeatedly, and their arrogance became more and more arrogant.Several groups of Japanese pirates joined forces with pirates, and their power continued to expand, posing a considerable threat to coastal areas such as Fujian and Ningbo, Zhejiang.

Zheng He's fleet went to the East, and the first stop was Japan. One important reason was to solve the problem of Japanese pirates.

In Emperor Yong Le's dictionary, there is no such word as suffering at all.

Whoever dares to make him feel uncomfortable for a while, he will make him feel uncomfortable for a lifetime.

Whoever dares to provoke him on his territory, he wants to look good!

Dare to rob Lao Tzu's territory?Copy your lair directly and burn your house down!

He has cleaned up Beiyuan, but he can't clean up the small island country?

Zhu Di made up his mind to deal with who he wanted to deal with, and he was destined not to be as loud as thunder, but as little as rain.When the fist hits down, blood will definitely be seen immediately.Moreover, Zhu Di disliked Japan, which had never come to congratulate him after he ascended the throne.

What do you do if you don't like it?

Two words, tidy up.

Four words, clean up hard.

The Japanese pirates invaded, dared to ignore the new emperor, and refused to pay tribute. The combination of the two gave Zhu Di enough reasons to deal with these dwarfs.

Before the fleet set off, Emperor Yong Le specially summoned Zheng He and Wang Jinghong, and asked them to clearly convey his intentions after they arrived in Japan.

The issue of Japanese pirates was very troublesome, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.

In view of all the unhappiness in the past, Japan must give the Ming Dynasty a satisfactory answer.

People who are sensible, apologize, pay compensation, hand over to others, not one of them is missing!

These words were written into the imperial edict word for word.

The truth is for the people of the country, Zouer is a small country, and there are many barbarians who don't know how to educate them, so they can't be lenient when they need to clean up.

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong agreed in unison, saying that they would obey the emperor's will and declare the emperor's edict to Japan word by word.

Emperor Yong Le was very satisfied, put down his pen, stamped the seal, and then added another sentence, "If he can't suppress the bandits by himself, he will be ruled by the laws of his own country, and he will tell us clearly that I will send troops to rule by the orders of the above country!"

This was said quite bluntly.

The translation is to let the Japanese eyes shine brightly, weigh their own weight, it is best to be sensible, automatically and consciously solve the problem of the Japanese pirates, and then apologize and pay, and everything will be peaceful.

If you don't know, I'm going to do it.

Guns have no eyes, and it is inevitable to accidentally hit people, smash down houses, and accidentally injure some flowers and plants.Due to the various uncooperative attitudes of the Japanese government, Japan must be responsible for all serious consequences caused by it!

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong promised again.

The historian responsible for recording the daily life of the emperor was very distressed, and after a fierce ideological struggle, he solemnly wrote down the matter and recorded it.

Professional ethics require him to seek truth from facts, but considering the international influence, the writing has been polished.

After all, the emperor of Shangguo threatened and intimidated, and kept saying that he would use his fists to reason, which was really not conducive to Daming's external image.

China is a country of etiquette, and it pays attention to convincing people with reason and virtue.

If you want to convince people with strength, you must have a good age.

Under His Majesty the Historian, Zhu Di's hegemonic words were translated by the Spring and Autumn Period into twelve characters of "Let him suppress bandits by himself, and rule with his own law", which was preserved for future generations.

In this regard, what Genji, who is in power in Japan, will think, whether he will protest the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty, oppress friendly neighbors, and falsify history, is not a question for historians to consider.

Regardless of the passage of hundreds of years, there is one truth that always prevails.

Only a strong country has the confidence to speak.The country is strong, the nation is strong, and people who say that Tianyang is square will believe it.

The Ming Dynasty in the Yongle period can be summed up in one sentence, those who offend a strong man will be punished no matter how far away they are!

Anyone who dares to violate the territory of Ming Dynasty, kill!

No actual action, just thinking?That's not OK!Kill those who dare to take practical actions, and then go to your territory to swear sovereignty.

Dare to refuse?Then fight until you serve!

Emperor Yong Le was not a good person, just like his father, he left a reputation in history as a murderous one.But he is a competent emperor.It was the long knife in his hand that brought out a prosperous China in which the barbarians surrendered and all nations came to court!

With the emperor's mandate and the emperor's backing, Zheng He was quite confident, so naturally he would not be polite to Japan.Coupled with the adverse reactions caused by seasickness, Eunuch Zheng was even less interested in playing tricks of convincing others with virtue with these Japanese pirates.

Although the medicine given by Zhao Yuan is good, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.Even if you don't vomit in the dark, have headaches and dizziness, and walk unsteadily, there are still many problems with double vision.

If the body is uncomfortable, the mood will naturally not be good.

When you are irritable, you need a punching bag urgently.

The Japanese pirates who were not open-eyed bumped into it, so it would be unlucky.

Who made them so whimsical and arrogant that they thought they were invulnerable, and dared to follow the super fleet of the Ming Dynasty with a few small sampans?

A small wooden boat, running up to the invincible battleship, is no less than a rabbit jumping up to a tiger, provocatively comparing its paws, with its three-petal mouth twitched, small sample, if you have the ability to shoot me to death!

If you feel too good about yourself, the end will often be quite miserable.

The irascible Zheng He and the even more irascible Wang Jinghong, superimposed the two, and the violence value suddenly soared.

The people on the boat had to be more careful when they saw Eunuch Zheng and Eunuch Wang with black air on their heads, for fear that they would kick people into the sea if they were angry.

The Japanese boats that dared to appear near the fleet of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the old birthday stars who hanged themselves.

The spying behavior of the Japanese pirates was regarded as a provocation, and the irritable Eunuch Zheng immediately ordered to clean up this group of unsightly people.

"fire!"

Two words, decided the fate of a ship of Japanese pirates.

If you die, you will die. If you want to catch Japanese pirates, you can always catch them. This boat is not bad.

In Zheng He's fleet, there were warships specially equipped with artillery. The officers and soldiers on board were dispatched by the sailors, and most of them had dealt with Japanese pirates.

You can't go into the sea easily on weekdays, and you can't catch these grandchildren. If you meet them today, you definitely don't want to run away!

The black solid iron ball kept smashing into the sea water, creating waves that soared into the sky.

Surrounded by the water column, the Japanese boat bumped and swayed in the waves, going up and down, left and right, and occasionally moved horizontally, just like doing extreme sports.

The sea water poured into the cabin continuously, the mast broke, and the Japanese pirates on board were completely frightened.

He kept rolling on the boat, and even got sucked into the waves, and disappeared in an instant.

People are afraid.

In the past, the Japanese pirates who burned, killed, looted and did all kinds of crimes were also frightened out of their courage in the face of the danger of dying at any time.

Many people had distorted expressions and hissed and shouted "monsters".

It can't be blamed for their ignorance. In later generations, any earthling who saw the high-tech alien civilization and space battleship probably had the same reaction.

The bombardment didn't last long, but the Japanese pirates in a boat seemed to have been suffering in hell for a century.

Some people cried and snotted their noses, shouting desperately to surrender.But there was no tweeter, and the sound of shelling and water covered it, so the Ming army couldn't hear it at all.

Some people couldn't bear the pressure and completely collapsed. They didn't want to suffer any more and jumped into the sea.

The Ming army on the warship also felt that the artillery was too inaccurate, and they didn't want to waste any more shells, so they simply stopped shelling, speeded up, and rammed directly towards the Japanese ship.

With a click, the two boats collided, and the boat broke in two. All the Japanese pirates on the boat were buried in the sea, and no one survived.

Looking at the vortex when the ship sank, the officers and soldiers on board said that the layer of iron sheet reinforced on the bow of the ship was really useful.Xing Ningbo who came up with this idea is really a resourceful man.

After solving a ship of Japanese pirates looking for death, Zheng He's fleet did not stop and continued to head towards Japan.

The sea returned to calm, except for a few wooden boards floating on the sea, the sound of gunfire and the sinking ship, it seemed that they had never existed.

In the distance, a three-masted food merchant ship witnessed what just happened at sea.

The members of the ship were all overwhelmed by the power of the warships of the Ming Dynasty, and the well-informed captain fell silent.

A red-haired man dressed in Arabian clothes stood on the side of the ship, looking at the direction of Zheng He's fleet, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

Strange flags, strange fleets, this terrifying sea force, come from the legendary golden kingdom?

After a long silence, the big food merchant ship turned its sails and headed south.

The destination of the merchant ship was Annan, and the red-haired man proposed to the captain that he hoped to land in the Ming Dynasty.

"you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay. But what I promised was to bring you to the east. Once you arrive on land, the price you pay is not enough for me to send a crew to protect your safety."

"I see."

The red-haired man thanked the captain and insisted on disembarking early.

The captain nodded and said nothing more.

He has fulfilled his duty of reminder, whether this person lives or dies has nothing to do with him.

Zheng He's fleet did not find this merchant ship. On the way to Japan, they encountered several Japanese ships. They caught them if they could catch them, and sent them into the sea to feed the fish if they couldn't catch them.

As the distance from Japan got closer, the news of this huge fleet finally reached Genji's ears.

At this time, Japan had just ended the Southern and Northern Dynasties and had not long since achieved reunification. The Muromachi Shogunate was in charge of the power, and the ruler was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the great general Minamoto Moriyoshi recorded in the history books.

During the Jianwen period, Yuan Daoyi issued an order to strictly prohibit border bandits from plundering the Ming Dynasty. Although the effect was not great, Emperor Jianwen had to send envoys to appease the Ming Dynasty and was awarded a seal of reward.

After Emperor Jianwen stepped down and Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, the Japanese pirates continued to harass the border frequently, and it became more and more serious.

Who is Zhu Di?

A fierce man who wanted to grab the throne directly and beat Bei Yuan all over the desert.

If you offend him, no matter who it is, you must pay the price.

Therefore, Zheng He and Wang Jinghong set off with a threatening edict and killed all the way to Japan.

Yuan Daoyi was a little flustered. According to reliable information, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty was nearly [-], with huge ships and cannons. The hull was as huge as a mountain, and the sound of firing the cannons was like a tsunami. enemy.

Most of the members on board are sergeants in leather armor with looped jackets, and they often use "artifacts" to raise their voices on the sea, impressively and unstoppable.

Yuan Daoyi had seen the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and he had also seen the warships of the Ming Dynasty.

However, they all came to visit with the purpose of "friendship".And the fleet led by Zheng He, no matter from which angle you look at it, has nothing to do with friendship.

It is more credible to say that they are here to attack Japan and start a war.

Extremely anxious and unable to think of a solution, Yuan Daoyi simply summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

People came, but everyone was frowning, and when the door was closed, there was collective silence.

Obviously, everyone is not optimistic about the intention of the Ming Dynasty fleet.

What should we do if we really want to fight?Or, in which direction should you run?

Someone proposed to send envoys to test first.

What should I do if I am immediately refuted and can't find out, and annoy the other party even more?If he is dealt with as a bandit, can he still take revenge in the name of justice? !

The two sides couldn't stop arguing, Yuan Daoyi had a headache, and so did his subordinates.

Unable to come up with a good solution, they could only send people to the port to wait. In case the Ming Dynasty really sent troops to attack, it would be better to make preparations in advance.

Can you win?

In short, let's see the situation first.

The Japanese are in a state of panic and are making double preparations for fighting and fleeing.

Zheng He's fleet was gradually approaching Xiaguan, and huge black shadows appeared on the sea, like giant beasts, with their mouths open.

This trip to the East has finally arrived at the first stop. Zheng He and Wang Jinghong, who suffered from seasickness, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Meng Qinghe's plan to run a school in Daning also achieved initial results.

In the west of Daning City, the newly built Confucianism officially started teaching.

In the two-story building, in front of the door stood the school rules that Xing Ningbo personally decided and approved by the emperor.

The first one is that all students who enter school are treated equally, regardless of rich or poor, ethnicity, border residents or affiliated tribes.

After entering school, they will uniformly distribute blue cloth shirts and wear square scarves.Winter hair cotton-padded jacket, cotton hat.

Tatar and Jurchen entrants first learn Chinese with the instruction, and then proceed to the next step after passing the assessment.

Confucianism has martial training, and there are martial arts masters who teach horseback riding and archery.It is not required that everyone learn to be versatile in both civil and military affairs, at least not weak and weak.

There are two assessments per month in the middle school. Those who are excellent in both civil and military skills will be awarded two treasure notes, and those who are outstanding in a single item will be awarded one treasure note.

This method of assessment suits the appetite of Tatar and Jurchen students.Compared with others, it is basically counting down. In terms of boxing skills, if you fight immediately, out of ten times, five or six times you can pull out the lead.

There was a censor who impeached Daning Confucianism for violating the way of saints.

Emperor Yongle issued an order to inquire, and Meng Qinghe immediately sent the written memorial.What was played in the inner circle once again touched Zhu Di's itching, and any words from the imperial censor were rejected.

The reason is very simple, the sage said, there is no class in teaching, follow the guidance well.The six arts of a gentleman have existed since ancient times.What Daning Confucianism does is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. How can it be against the way of a sage?In addition, the northern frontiers are bitterly cold, and there are times when there are disasters against the frontiers. If you learn martial arts from middle school scholars, you can also defend your home and country in times of crisis.

"Uncle Xing Ning joined the army as a soldier, and Jing Nanli has made great contributions! You don't need to say too much, let's just look at the future."

The emperor's golden mouth and jade words are the final word.

Even if there is still a censor to give advice on the matter, it will not affect Meng Qinghe in the slightest.

The ministers only saw that Daning Confucianism was both civil and military, but they completely ignored the "Chinese language class" opened in Confucianism and the far-reaching significance of various academic regulations.

At first, Zhu Di didn't take this matter seriously, but after Meng Qing and Shang Shu, Emperor Yong Le suddenly realized.

Pacing around in the hall with hands behind his back, he stood still, picked up Meng Qinghe's melody again, and almost broke every word to read, and deeply imprinted it in his mind.

"Bai Yan comes back."

"The servant is here!"

"Pass down my will, appreciate Confucianism in Daning, and make the border guards follow suit."

"Yes."

Bai Yanhui retreated under orders, and went to the cabinet to deliver a message. Today, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong entered the Wenyuan Pavilion. After listening to the emperor's oral order, each of them began to think about it.

The next day, the will to reward Daning Confucianism was sent to the capital.

The next day, Emperor Yongle issued another order, granting Daning to be guarded, and Beijing's left-behind military governor's mansion Tongzhi, Xingning Bo Qilin clothes, and [-] ingots of banknotes.

Originally, it was a good thing for the emperor to give money. Even if it was precious banknotes, five hundred ingots could buy a lot of grain.

But the problem is that the timing of the payment is not right.

Just in time for the palace to reward the family members of the heroes who are difficult to make peace with Tianjing, the Duke, Marquis, Earl, Governor, Commander, thousands of households, hundreds of households, guards in the guards, and the wives of the court are all rewarded. , give five hundred ingots.

After receiving the reward, Meng Qinghe fell silent, not knowing what expression to make.

On purpose or by coincidence?

In other words, Emperor Yongle was playing with a cold humor?

Looking up at the sky, there is still no solution.

Simply collect the money first, and discuss the rest later.
