The current emperor of the Wa Kingdom is called Emperor Go-Kashiwahara, an old man in his sixties, who had to rush from Kyoto to Owari Castle under the threat of the Ming army, along with the Muromachi shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiharu.

On the fifth day of the tenth month of the third year of Jiajing, in front of the palace of the lord of Owari Castle, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu knelt down in the cold north wind and knelt down in front of the Ming envoy Xu Jin. On both sides were heavily armed and murderous Ming soldiers, and the streets farther away were crowded with locals with complicated expressions.

Xu Jin wore a crimson Ming official uniform today, holding a Ming and Huang holy decree embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern, and solemnly read out the will of the Ming Emperor, severely reprimanding the Japanese king and shogun for conniving at the banditry of their own warlords and people to plunder the Ming coast.

Emperor Go-Kashiwahara and Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu could not understand Chinese, but it didn't matter, both of them were very clever, only made a sincere and frightened expression, touched their foreheads to the ground to express their apologies, and then took the holy decree of Emperor Jiajing from Xu Jin's hands with trembling.

After reading the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, Xu Jin's gaze swept majestically over the surrounding warriors and onlookers, who all bowed their heads in awe.

Today's Japan is in the Warring States period of feudal towns, the emperor only has a symbolic meaning, today in front of the Ming envoys, the image in the minds of the people in the future is afraid to plummet, on the contrary, the Ming Emperor's virtue will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After two days of negotiations, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara, who wanted to maintain the last trace of dignity, finally compromised and agreed to cede Kyushu Island and Osumi Island to Daming, and compensate 1 million taels of silver. Originally, Xu Jin also planned to extort three million taels from the Japanese emperor, but unfortunately this puppet emperor was so poor that it was estimated that even if he sold out the valuable items in the imperial family, he would not be able to make up one million taels. Xu Jin had no choice but to give up, and ordered the emperor and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu to jointly make up 1 million taels of compensation.

It is said that the area of Kyushu Island accounts for one-tenth of Japan's land, and now it is ceded to the Ming Dynasty, even if there is a bull to unify the rest of the country in the future, the strength will be greatly reduced. Of course, Xu Jin would not allow such a bull to appear, and with the influence of the Ming Dynasty, it was easy to cultivate several equal forces in the Wa Kingdom. For example, the current United States is playing this hand very slippery, which is nothing more than economic aid and weapons aid.

After getting the Empress of Japan, Xu Jin began to establish the Oriental Protectorate, and Wang Zhi undoubtedly took the shit luck and became the first Oriental Protector, garrisoning Kyushu Island, and taking over the military, political and legal power. Of course, this is only temporary, and next year the imperial court will send two civil officials to strip away the administrative power and the power to cast spells, so as not to dominate the military generals and then support the army.

Originally, Wang Zhi's resume was not clean, and it was not suitable to serve as the protector of the Oriental Metropolitan Protectorate, but at present, I really can't find a better candidate, and I can only cope with it. As everyone knows, it was Xu Jin's negligence today that buried a great hidden danger for himself and almost caused a catastrophe.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, unconsciously it is November of the third year of Jiajing, the northeast monsoon is blowing, at this time it is just a tailwind to return to Daming from the Japanese country, and because of this, in the past, the Japanese will choose to sail out to sea in winter, and run to the Ming River and Zhejiang to plunder.

However, time has passed, and now the southwest of the Japanese island of Kyushu has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, under the blow and restraint of the Ming army, the Japanese people no longer have the opportunity to continue to run to the coast of the Ming Dynasty to plunder, even if there are sporadic fish that have slipped through the net, they can not become the climate, and the plague that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years has finally been completely cured.

On November 3, Xu Jin, who had arranged everything, finally set sail from the port of Osumi Island with his fleet and sailed in the direction of Daming. This time, it can really be said that he returned with a full load, obtaining more than 1.8 million taels of silver from the Orishin family, 1 million taels of silver from the Japanese emperor, and nearly 2 million taels from the destruction of the Ouchi clan and Hosokawa, plus hundreds of thousands of taels sent by a group of warlords, for a total of more than 5.2 million taels.

Although Xu Jin brought back tens of millions of taels worth of property from Manraka last time, a considerable part of it was items, and gold and silver only accounted for about half, but this time it was different, all of them were white flowers, in short, Emperor Jiajing's kid was afraid that he would wake up from a dream this time.

In fact, the more than 5 million taels of silver is just a small head, if according to Xu Jin's deployment, in the future, the silver produced by the Japanese will be continuously exported to the Ming Dynasty in the form of "equal trade", enriching the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty not to be rich and strong.

The great north wind was blowing, and the fleet puffed up its sails with the wind, and this time it took only seven days to cross the East China Sea, return to the coast of Songjiang Mansion in Daming, and the fleet adjusted its course, and sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River half a day later, and then went upstream.

On November 12, the third year of Jiajing, Xu Jin led the fleet to arrive at the Yangtze River wharf in Nanjing, and the whole city exploded in an instant, but saw that thousands of heads were surging along the river, densely packed, all of them spontaneously went out of the city to welcome the triumphant army of the Ming people.

The Ming army slaughtered all sides in the Wa Kingdom, not only forced the Wa King to kneel on the ground to accompany the crime, but also ceded the land to pay compensation, the news has already been transmitted back to the Ming Dynasty, the whole country military and people are all jubilant, blood boiling, pride bursting.

It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 15 years, and the national strength has deteriorated, especially after the "Tumubao Change", the elite division has been lost, and even the emperor has been captured by the Tile Thorns, the national Zuo has almost been cut off, and the morale of the whole country has fallen to the extreme, and the strong Ming Dynasty seems to have become a yellow flower of yesterday, and it is gone.

However, just last year, Xu Jin, this shining star, was born, he not only wiped out the pirates in one fell swoop, but also sent troops to Nanyang to restore the country for the Manchu family, and now he has sent troops to the East to shock the Japanese country. Moreover, the emperor also shouted the slogan of "those who commit strong crimes, although they are far away, they will be punished", and the Ming Dynasty, which is so strong that Siyi surrenders, seems to be back, so whether it is the army or the people, they all raise their eyebrows, and the nation is full of self-inflicted feelings. Those high-spirited scholars even wrote a large number of heroic poems for this purpose, and for a while, the martial style of the Han and Tang dynasties seemed to have revived in the Ming Dynasty.

This time, almost all the officials in Nanjing ran to the dock to greet Xu Jin, but there were not many high-ranking officials, because most of the high-ranking officials had already followed Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to Hubei to worship Zhu Youqi, the king of Xing.

It is said that Xu Jin sent an envoy to Japan in late August, and just a month after Xu Jin's envoy, that is, in late September, Zhu Houxi set off from Nanjing and took a boat along the Yangtze River to Anlu Prefecture, Hubei Province to worship his biological father.

Calculating the time, it is estimated that Emperor Jiajing has finished sacrificing his biological father Zhu Youqi with the gift of the imperial examination, so what Xu Jin has to do now is to stay in Nanjing, wait for Emperor Jiajing to return from Hubei, and then reinstate the decree, and then the two of them will go north along the canal to return to Beijing for the New Year.

This year, I have to spend it at home, and the longing for my wife and children in Beijing makes Xu Jin want to leave Emperor Jiajing's kid and return to Beijing first, but this is obviously impossible, and if you dare to leave the emperor, it is estimated that you have to have ten heads.

Fortunately, Xu Jin didn't have to wait long, only five days later, Emperor Jiajing's kid rushed back from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River by boat, obviously he couldn't wait to personally count the five million taels of silver that Xu Jin had brought back.
