Late at night, at No. 16 Tiger Bridge Lane, the Japanese man Kenroku Abe opened the courtyard door and entered the room, and entered the inner room in the dark.

This is the dwelling he has bought, and he has come in so much that he can come in with his eyes closed.

The return of the king of the southeast was celebrated by all the people, and he also spent a happy night with his Japanese friends and Chinese friends in Beijing.

Unexpectedly, someone whispered in his ear: "Abe-kun! ”

Hearing the voice of an acquaintance, he was greatly surprised, and found a fire fold on the table and lit a candle, and when he saw that it was the Japanese man Ishihara Kinoyuro sitting in the dark, he was surprised and asked, "Ishihara-kun, ...... you?"

Kiyuro Ishihara said sadly: "Hideo Yamazaki, he has been martyred!" ”

"What?!" Kenroku Abe was shocked, he and Hideo Yamazaki, Ishihara Kiyuro are friends, meet together to climb Mount Tai, together in Mochou Lake to watch the introduction of the Japanese cherry blossoms--- at that time, the Ming Dynasty is the world's lighthouse country, full of self-confidence, as a symbol of friendship between China and Japan, the government allowed the Japanese envoys to plant cherry blossoms on the shore of Mochou Lake, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the Japanese people in Nanjing meet to enjoy the cherry blossoms, very happy.

Kenroku Abe couldn't even sit down, and asked again and again what was going on, could it be that the country of the Japanese country had reached such a dangerous situation?

In 1651, the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu returned to heaven, and his son, Ietsuna, who was only 10 years old at the time, received the shogun's proclamation in Edo Castle. Since Ieduna, the shogun announced that the ceremony would be held in Edo instead of going to Kyoto to receive an edict from the emperor.

The new Edo shogunate sent a high-ranking official of the "old middle", Abe Tadaaki, who was equivalent to the level of vice premier, that is, Jinkyo, the father of Abe Kenroku, to report his condolences to the Ming court.

At that time, the king of the southeast was not in Nanjing, and Zhu Zhenzhen, the princess of the prison state, had little contact with the Japanese state, and the relationship was not thick, and the woman had long hair and short knowledge after all.

In his opinion, the king of the southeast enveloped the Japanese state, and the Japanese state was not like the Chinese and Ming Dynasty when the Japanese sent the Japanese to the southeast coast to make trouble.

And the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the DPRK, then a scholar and a scholar of the Criminal Department, Fang Yizao, fought against him, thinking that the Wa Kingdom was a small CASE, and even a little finger could put them down, so it was worth sending a Shangshu out of the East to waste public money? I think so much of them!

The old and new Shangshu roared in the court, and what fell was Yao Minggong, the head of the melon, and Ye Tinggui, the left attendant of the household department, crooked the building, saying that Yao Minggong was identified by him as the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty, and came to a sentence of "Ming Yao Minggong destroyed Ming here" This heart-wrenching words put Yao Minggong down and had a stroke!

The government was in such a trouble, Yao Minggong and his gang did not want to see the initiator of the Wa State, and as for Fang Yizao's party, they did not want to pay attention to the Wa State, and only sent an unknown low-level squire to cross the sea to Edo to mourn.

When the subjects of the Wa State saw the arrival of this kind of goods instead of heavyweight ministers sent by the Ming State, they were all disappointed, and some powerful feudal lords even used their brains and started to think that they should not have.

For a long time, Yan Changwu, who was in charge of the two Chinas, suppressed the East, and his power was heavily pressed on the small followers of China, and there was no exception.

As long as the king of any country has his support, his position will be secured, but if he is annoyed, his fleet will come to the door, and no one will be pleased.

The Ming Kingdom only sent a squire, not even a scholar, let alone a scholar, as for the cabinet members, they don't have to think about it!

Seeing that Yan Changwu's kingdom was so sluggish, the Changzhou Domain of the Wa Kingdom was restored, and once again attacked strongly, forming a fallen army!

Why did they attack again, Gain had also had the "glorious" deeds of the rebellion of the vassal state before, and Yan Changwu participated in the suppression and cut off many widows.

The Japanese people have never been at ease and guarded themselves, and it is the tradition of the Japanese people to go down and down, and as long as possible, they will come out and jump one or two.

Including the Hizen Domain, Tosa, Bungo, and Hyuga Clans, the famous Ichijo clan organized a rebellion near Kyoto, which caused civil unrest in the Uto, and raised the banner of honoring the emperor, saying that the ruler of the U country should be the emperor, not the general of the Seiyi, that is, the political appeal activities of the clan lords and the samurai class to criticize the military and government of the Edo shogunate, return the emperor's real power, and solicit the Chinese.

He also believed that the Tokugawa family was not virtuous enough to be appointed as the general of the Seiyi.

Rebelled against the feudal lords, their morale was like a rainbow, the shogunate army was quite rotten, they did not learn the martial arts of the southeast country, but they learned the enjoyment of the two Chinas, and the lord Shaoguo doubted, the result was defeated again and again, Abe Kenroku, Ishihara Kinoro's friend Yamazaki Hideo happened to meet at the meeting, participated in the shogunate army, and died outside Kyoto City!

"Yamazaki-kun, you actually died for your country......" Kenroku Abe sat back in his seat, almost unable to believe that this was the truth.

However, it is indeed a fact, once the string song knew the meaning of elegance, and the friend of Xie Liangpeng with a glass of wine has returned to the earth, and can no longer sing and harmonize with him, tea and wine.

Two lines of tears flowed from Kenroku Abe's eyes, and he was sad.

"How's it going?" Kenroku Abe asked after a pause.

"The country is in great trouble, but fortunately, there are loyal ministers, Hoshina Masayuki, the lord of the Aizu domain, and the elder Sakai Tadakatsu, the old Naka Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Abe Tadaaki, etc., who are stubbornly defending Edo, and after the Shogunate faction gets Kyoto, the offensive posture is exhausted, and they are unable to take ShimoEdo, and the two sides are holding each other!" Kiyuro Ishihara briefly explained the situation.

"You came to Nanjing to ask for help?" Kenroku Abe asked.

"No, I'm here for help!" Kiyuro Ishihara was unexpectedly authentic.

"What?" Kenroku Abe was shocked, and when he asked again, he couldn't speak, and understood what it meant to be "the house leak coincided with the night rain"!

Yes, the shogunate sent an envoy to Nanjing to ask for help, because there were many contacts with the Wa kingdom in China, and Ishihara Kinoro was among them.

But what they never expected was that their ship was blown away from the course by the wind and ran aground at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the ship sank.

Due to the relationship between the king of the southeast, swimming in the southeast and central countries of China is a compulsory examination for students, and students cannot graduate if they fail the exam, which affects the Ming Dynasty, and swimming has also become a social atmosphere.

It's a shame to have seen the continent already!

Exhausted, he was blown to the shore by the wind and waves, and escaped for his life, but the entire envoy sank to the bottom of the sea, and the tokens representing the envoys were gone!

Ishihara Kinoro was rescued by the fishermen of the seaside fishing village, and the fishermen served him very politely and sent him to the county seat, and the county also attached great importance to it, and sent someone to send him to the state, and the state sent him to the city of Nanjing.

However, there is no edict, seal and scepter of the Wa Shogunate that represents the identity of the envoy, saying that he is an envoy, even if people want to believe it, they must also have relevant certificates, otherwise cats and dogs can say that they are diplomatic envoys, then they have to do it!

Before coming, Ishihara Kiyuro had already approached the relevant officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, but they couldn't help, believing that diplomacy between countries must have evidence.

Speaking of the domestic situation, it is really in dire straits, and wherever the Shogunate faction goes, they frantically counterattack and calculate, kill the Shogunate, and exploit the people, speaking of which, it makes Ishihara Kiyuro hate it to the bone.

Seeing that he was full of emaciation and skinny, and a gust of wind could blow him down, Abe Kenroku thought for a moment and said, "Ishihara-kun, you have a good rest, and I will handle the following things!" ”
