Chapter Twenty-Six: Abe Tadaaki's Worries
Tadaaki Abe is the second son of Tadashi Abe, and his mother is the daughter of Yasutaka Osuka. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his brother died before he grew up, so Abe Tadaaki succeeded to the family governor. At that time, it was not this name, it was called Abe Masaaki, and in the 3rd year of Kanei, he worshiped Tokugawa Hidetada's name and changed his name to Tadaaki.
In the first year of Kanei, Abe Tadaaki inherited 6,000 koku of land left by his father. After some struggle, seven years later, Abe Tadaaki became a member of the Six in the 10th year of Kanei. On May 5 of the same year, he was appointed to the old middle school. On January 5, Kanei 16、From Mibu Castle to the lord of the ninja domain。
In other words, this one is the important minister of the Edo shogunate in Japan.
But right now, Abe Tadaaki arrived at the Daming Jingshi with Tsushima Shouzong Yoshinari and others! Tsushimamori was the man in charge of Japan's diplomacy and was in charge of trade between Japan and Korea. When they came at this moment, they heard that Li Yuhao, the prince of the Joseon Kingdom, had entered the Ming Dynasty, so they hurried over.
Obviously, Tadaaki Abe, who lives in a private house, did not enter through official channels openly.
At this moment, if it were not for the Japanese architectural style that had been modified in the private house, I am afraid that no one would know that these people dressed entirely in Chinese clothes in front of them were all Japanese officials and samurai.
Abe Tadaaki waved off the unrelated retainers and carefully looked at the newspaper. After he finished reading it, many people in front of him began to take turns to read it.
Among them, after Abe Tadaaki finished reading it, he looked at one of the young men, waiting for this man to speak.
Forty-five-year-old Abe Tadaaki is not young, of course, he is also married, but the heir is difficult, which makes people sigh. Abe's main room is the daughter of Inaba Michitsu, and the steproom is the daughter of Toda Yasunaga. Originally, she gave birth to a son, but she died young, and she never had another son later. For this reason, Abe Tadaaki had no choice but to adopt Abe Masahari, the grandson of his uncle Abe Masaji, and then changed his name to Abe Masaneng as his adopted son.
Right now, Abe Masano also followed, obviously planning to train with his adoptive father.
Abe Masano, who was born in the fourth year of Kannaga, is now nineteen years old, and in history, he would not become Abe's adopted son until six years later. But for now, it's clear that history has changed.
"Zhengneng, what do you think of what the Ming people said in the newspaper." Tadaaki Abe furrowed his brows, thinking about the impact of this on Japan.
Abe was able to salute and said, "Father, my lord." The Ming people made a great change in their behavior towards Korea, changing the tributary style of the past. Right now, it seems that something big is going to happen. This is both a loan and a permit for the purchase of advanced ordnance. It's a prelude to something big happening. ”
"You think about the same as I do. But there's one more thing you didn't expect. Abe Tadaaki said slowly: "I suspect that His Majesty the Emperor does not intend to let Japan and Korea live in peace. Since he has his eye on North Korea, he will not let go of Japan......"
This unmissable word made Abe be able to listen to it, but he suddenly felt a chill on his body.
Abe Tadaaki said, and then looked at Tsushima Shouzong Yoshinari.
Zong Yicheng was also meditating, and when he saw Abe Zhongqiu in a blink of an eye, he understood that he wanted to see his own opinion, and slowly bowed his head and said, "Mingren...... It's so rich. One million yuan, according to the conversion of the Ming people, that is one million taels of silver. Converted into money and grain, how many 10,000 stones? ”
The Zong family is a Tsushima Shou who enjoys the treatment of 100,000 stone Daming, although Abe Zhongqiu is less, Lao Zhong is only a few tens of thousands of stone as a pedigree daimyo. And all this means that one million taels of silver is an unimaginably huge amount for them.
Even if it was such a huge reception cost as the reception of the Korean messenger, which was extremely important in Japan's political life, to mobilize 330,000 people and 7,600 horses, it was still 1 million taels of silver.
But Da Ming actually gave a low-interest loan of one million yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, which really made people feel the wealth of the Ming Kingdom.
"Previously, I had heard that there were domestic and foreign troubles, but now I see that this is not the case at all. The Qing Kingdom in the Northeast has been destroyed by the Ming Kingdom. The judgment of the country was eliminated as early as possible for the new lord. With such a Daming, there is only one awe-inspiring Daming left. It's a pity that we learned all this too late. Abe Tadaaki said slowly, frowning and thinking bitterly.
Abe Tadaaki learned about the current situation in China from Chinese businessmen who had arrived in Japan.
At the same time, through the mouths of the Koreans, Tsushima Mamori's Zong Yicheng also learned some recent situation in China.
In the mouth of Chinese businessmen, the Ming Dynasty is naturally a saint from heaven, sweeping away internal strife and external troubles, and rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty, but also looking at overseas trade openly.
Zong Yicheng, who understands the Ming Dynasty through the mouth of the North Koreans, feels even more exaggerated. In the face of the iron hooves of the Qing people, the Koreans had no power to resist, and they were easily killed at the foot of the national capital, and the whole country fell, and the tragic situation was beyond words. Therefore, in the impression of the Koreans, the Qing people were barbarians, but their military strength was extremely powerful.
Now, the Ming Kingdom, which used to look inferior, actually beat the Qing people in turn, and directly destroyed Jianzhou. Such a reversal shook the North Koreans.
"Divine soldiers, 100,000 strong troops to exterminate Jiannu, drive straight in, go straight to Hetuala, and capture the chieftain to give the first 500,000 Qing troops to ashes!"
"The Ming Dynasty is a strong weapon, and the fire is fired, and people are killed a thousand steps away. The cannons roared, and the masonry of the three-foot city collapsed......"
"The Holy Monarch descended from the sky, the Ming Dynasty was ......"
……
Recalling the two pieces of news he heard from the North Korean mouth, Zong Yicheng relayed it, and sure enough, everyone's faces became quite ugly.
"How strong is China? Message, or how untrue. Abe was in the prime of his youth, and he spoke out at the moment, full of injustice.
When the rest of the people saw it, they all shook their heads and sighed in unison.
The gap between China and Japan is too huge to be denied.
In the past, they could not see China in Japan, and they could say a few more arrogant words. But now that they have arrived in China, they have seen the prosperity of Beijing after the restoration of peace, and the patrol police they see at the city gate every day are highly disciplined and fierce.
"China is so strong that it is useless to talk about it. For now, it is still necessary to explore and understand what China wants for Japan...... If trade is strictly forbidden, it will be bad. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a matter of vital importance, and I also ask you to repay with sincerity and enterprising, and not to slack off! Abe Tadaaki glanced at the audience, and his gaze was especially stern at Zong Yoshisei.
After all, this one has a bad precedent of tampering with Japanese national letters. Although the shogun chose to maintain the majesty of the daimyo in the later Yanagawa incident, he resolutely eliminated the atmosphere of "following the top" during the Warring States period. However, for Tsushima Mamori, who has controlled Japan's foreign affairs for generations like Zong Yoshisei, he is still quite wary and has to reuse the complicated feelings.
"Hay!" The audience roared, and everyone waited solemnly.
