Chapter 623: The County Lord and the Princess
Although Yu Zhouwen thought that His Majesty asked the soldiers of the guard station to also practice walking in unison and walking in step to motivate the students of the martial arts hall, in fact, Yun Xi didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to promote walking in unison and walking in unison.
So even after he heard Jin Yiwei's words in the secret line of the martial arts hall to report to Yu Zhouwen and Zheng Xuan, he just smiled and continued to write the order he was going to give.
After writing it, Yunxi said to Wang Xi: "You ask Yang Shiqi to polish it again, and order the guards to go to Wu Zhong's mansion to deliver the decree." ”
Wang Xi agreed, and went to the side hall with the edict. Yun Xi stretched his waist and got up to go to Kunning Palace.
During the meal, Xiyao said: "Husband, King Qin's intention to marry his second sister Xu to Song Sheng's second son Song Hu is mentioned in the family letter written to me by Princess Liu of Qin, what does the husband think?" ”
"Song Sheng's second son, Song Hu?" Yun Xi groaned: "He is following Song Sheng in Hami now, right?" ”
"Husband, the King of Qin intends to change Hami to Yiwu according to the old names of the two Han Dynasty." Xi Yao said.
"Hami has changed Yiwu's matter, you can ask Shang Bing to officially write when you reply to Concubine Liu; This will make Chang'an's marriage to Song Hu ......"
Yun Xi hesitated. Song Sheng guarded Suzhou, Liangzhou and other places for more than 20 years, and had a great influence in the local area, if the county lord of Chang'an was allowed to marry his second son, it would not be good for the central government to rule Liangzhou. He is not defenseless against Shang Bing, but he just chooses the lesser of two evils.
However, he thought about it again, Song Sheng's eldest son Song Xuan was serving as the commander of the right guard of the capital army at this time, and he would not let Song Sheng serve as the left minister of the Qin domain for a long time, so it was nothing to agree, and said: "Husband, it's okay, you just tell Shang Bing in your reply." ”
Xi Yao promised. Yun Xi said again: "Husband has something to tell you, Husband plans to marry Wu Zhong's daughter to Yun Xi as the main concubine, which is the person recommended by Uncle Twelve and you a while ago. I wrote a letter to Yun Xi to inform him. You prepare, start the six ceremonies, and the husband Layue asked him to return to Beijing to complete the marriage. ”
Xi Yao agreed, thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, this daughter of Wu Zhong has a hard temperament, and Yun Xi's temperament is not soft, it's not suitable." ”
"It's different. Yun Xi is going to open up the wasteland, and a princess with a strong temperament can assist Yun Xi. Although Yun Xi likes martial arts and hates literature, he has always been resourceful and less decisive and is very similar to Yun Wei, I think it is very appropriate for Wu to assist him. Yun Xi said.
Since Yun Xi thinks it is appropriate, Xi Yao will not continue to object. She talked about what happened in the palace today.
"Husband, Princess Yong'an came to the palace to visit me today, and the concubine couldn't tell that she was a Fusang person, and her every move was exactly the same as our Ming people. It was still Xiyi who curiously asked about Fusang's domestic affairs, and she demonstrated the customs of Fusang's country. ”
"This Fusang woman walked with her thighs and only her calves, and if the concubine hadn't watched her demonstration, she wouldn't have thought of how to walk with only her calves. The concubine imitated it, and after only walking a few steps, she felt that her thighs were going to cramp, and I really didn't know how they survived. Xi Yao sighed.
"Fuso women have worn kimonos since childhood, and although the kimono is modified from the Tang costume that was passed down from the Tang Dynasty, it is actually very different. The kimono worn by the woman completely enclosed her thighs and could not move at all, which is why she evolved this way of walking. Yun Xi had learned about this in his previous life, so he explained.
Who knew that Xi Yao glanced at Yun Xi with a certain meaning, and then continued to chat casually. Yun Xi, who is not very emotionally intelligent, didn't understand what her eyes meant.
The next morning, Yun Xi summoned Zhu Mengjiong, the king of Yong'an, into the palace.
For Fuso, Yun Xi considered whether to send troops to conquer it completely, but the result of the consideration was not to do so. It was easy to defeat Fusang with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, but to conquer Fusang, the price paid was too great. What's more, for the Fuso warrior Yunxi, he has formulated various appointment plans, so that they can contribute their own strength to the establishment of the Eastern Empire of the Ming Dynasty.
Since he couldn't fight, and Yun Xi wanted Yokohama very much, he could only use peaceful means. The reason why Zhu Mengjiong married a Fusang person as a concubine was in the first place. It was to acquire the Port of Yokohama, an important port in the Pacific Ocean.
Yun Xi said to him: "Meng Jiong, in two days you will go to Yokohama to take up the post of local commander-in-chief." For my brother, I will give you a thousand households as a force to keep the port safe and your guard. ”
"Fuso, after all, is a country, a country of tens of millions of people, and you have to maintain your independence in the local area, and on the other hand, you have to make friends with the local daimyos. You have to grasp the balance in between. The reason why Brother Wei doesn't allocate more troops to you is also because of this. ”
Yun Xi said a few words, and Zhu Mengjiong asked, "Brother Huang, can I recruit Fusang people as soldiers in the local area?" ”
"Don't recruit more, not more than a thousand households. And try not to offend the local daimyos. ”
"You probably also know that the Kanto region of Fuso Honshu Island is not directly under the jurisdiction of Yoshimitsu, and the local daimyo are very wary of Yoshimitsu, and your excessive recruitment is likely to cause them to be vigilant, thinking that you are helping Yoshimitsu. Your wife is the daughter of Yoshiman. Yun Xi said.
'I, a prince of the Ming Dynasty, will help the little Fusang monarch? Zhu Mengjiong thought in his heart. However, he knew that what Yun Xi said made sense, so he nodded.
Yun Xi finally took out a copy of "Warring States Policy", handed it to Zhu Mengjiong and said: "Fusang is like China in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, it is beneficial to read more "Warring States Policy" and "Chinese". ”
Zhu Mengjiong promised.
Yun Xi finally asked, "Is there anything you want to ask?" ”
Zhu Mengjiong thought for a long time and asked, "Brother Huang, why do you have to control Yokohama?" What is so special about this place? Is there gold underneath the ground? ”
"Not really. It has nothing to do with whether there is gold underground, or even any other minerals, but only the geographical location of Yokohama. Yun Xi said.
"Is there anything special about Yokohama's location?" Zhu Mengjiong asked suspiciously. After Fang Mingqian returned from two explorations, he drew a relatively detailed coastal map and navigation chart of the East China Sea-Yongming Sea-Fusang, which Zhu Mengjiong naturally also read.
In his opinion, Yokohama is already the easternmost place, and although he has heard that there are islands and people living in the east, they are not valuable. So what's so special about Yokohama's location?
Yun Xi couldn't tell him that there was a large continent in the far east, and after thinking for a while, Yun Xi said, "You will know in the future." ”
Zhu Mengjiong was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, but he didn't dare to continue asking, so he could only retreat.
