Chapter 223: Lori of the Tokugawa Family Asks for a monthly pass
The second is more presented, and then as usual, I ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a subscription, and Xiexie everyone's support for Rolls-Royce
Zhu Jishi lazily sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, carefully looking at a kimono girl who was kneeling respectfully opposite, really a little girl, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, a pink and tender Lori. However, it has been very moving, the skin is snowy, the facial features are delicate, and the two big eyes are flashing and looking at our Emperor Zhu, and suddenly a girl's flower-like smile bloomed.
This cute girl's name is Tokugawa Akiko, also known as Matsuhime, and she is the younger sister of Tokugawa Saijiang, the lord of the Mito domain. However, he did not live in Mito Castle, but lived with several sisters in the Mito Domain in Edo. This afternoon, she and several sisters were suddenly summoned by her father, Tokugawa Saiaki, to a Japanese-style room to meet Uncle Zhu Jishi, a "sage of the Ming Kingdom" who came from Hong Kong.
Alas, it's really an uncle! It has been five years since Zhu Jishi came to this time and space - five years have not yet overthrown the Manchu Qing and restored the Ming Dynasty, which is really a shame for the ancestors and the ancestors - plus the age of his previous life, in the blink of an eye, he is still the father of two sons, and the third child will be born soon, what else can he be if he is not an uncle?
After Zhu Jishi sighed in his heart, he turned his mind to Lori in front of him. Although the Europa beauty with enlarged breasts and fat buttocks is Zhu Jishi's favorite, he also likes the bright Japanese little Lori. Since you are enjoying the feudal marriage system with Chinese characteristics, why not change your taste?
And this is also for the long-standing friendship between the two countries tomorrow, for the alliance between the Zhu family and the Tokugawa family. Our Emperor Zhu must choose one of the Japanese loli to bring back to Hong Kong this time!
This was during a luncheon in Edo Castle today, and Tokugawa Iekei proposed the terms of the alliance. The general thinks. The fact that Zhu Jishi's four major banks have "privileges" in Japan will certainly attract imitators - Britain, France, the United States and other countries will definitely cite this example to demand the opening of Japan. Moreover, the strong feudal clan in Japan that was dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family. He would also certainly denounce the shogunate for "violating the ancestral system". In order to leave nothing to say in all respects. There must be a special relationship between the Tokugawa family and the Zhu Ming Imperial Family!
For example, marriage...... It's so embarrassing to go back to the story of marriage bed politics. Our Emperor Zhu originally took the route of saving the country in the harem. But this power game with Japanese characteristics likes to engage in marriage bed politics.
Tokugawa Iekei's words are as follows: "If His Excellency Aki marries the daughter of the Tokugawa family as a concubine, then he will be the son-in-law of the Tokugawa family...... According to the Japanese parlance, it is a 'public family', and it is natural to have a little commercial privilege. The construction of a port in Edo Bay is not a problem, and whatever land you like, I will use it as a dowry, which is also a common practice in Japan. ”
Accept the daughter of the Tokugawa family as a concubine. You will be given the privilege of doing business in Japan, and you will also be able to get a small piece of "territory" to build a port. This business is not a loss, right? And the little Lori in front of me is still quite likable......
Watching Yingying's thirteen or fourteen Lori bloom a sweet smile towards herself, Zhu Jishi felt that he was very close to this little Lori. It is said that Japanese adult women in this era really can't look at it, they are all bald eyebrows, black teeth, the powder painted on their faces is at least an inch thick, and there are two red suns painted on the sides of their cheeks. The "Oku-nyome" I saw when I was eating in Edo Castle just now are all of this virtue.,Surrounded by such a group of female monsters.,It's really pitiful to think about this Tokugawa iekei.。
In the future, this Tokugawa Akiko can't dress up like that, at most wear light makeup. However, the way she wears a kimono is quite flattering, and she will be asked to wear it like this at home every day in the future. It is better to wear a kimono in a vacuum! By the way, listen to Zhu Jianyu said, this Japanese is very creative in the art of house curtains, especially Japanese women are extremely soft, and they are open, any way to play can be accepted, as long as men like it, I don't know if this little Lori in front of me is like this?
When I thought about it, my eyes couldn't help but become evil. Xiao Lori looked at the lustful appearance of the Great Sage in front of her, her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Dasheng anymore.
"Your Excellency Ming Gong, are you still satisfied with the little girl Mingzi?"
It was Tokugawa Saiaki, the lord of the Taijo Domain of the Mito Domain, who spoke, and Akiko was his sixth daughter. Qi Zhao was also a very learned person, and the Mito school had Zhuzi as the core, so he could speak a little Chinese.
Regarding the matter of marrying Zhu Ming, before Zhu Jishi arrived in Japan, Tokugawa Iekei talked to him. Zhu Jishi is the king of China sooner or later. Moreover, after the expulsion of Yidi, China will inevitably restore its former status and regain its domination of East Asia, and the Tokugawa family can only be its friend, not its enemy. Therefore, it is best to establish a marriage relationship with Zhu Jishi when he has not yet become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that the world of the Tokugawa family will be as safe as Mount Tai.
However, Iekei's daughters all died young, and no one could use them to marry Zhu Ming, so they had to adopt the daughters of the Mito Tokugawa family.
"I like Miss Akiko very much, and if I can bring her back to China, I will definitely regard her as a pearl."
"That's great." Tokugawa Saiaki also bowed respectfully to Zhu Jishi, got up and led his daughter out of the big house.
"Ming Gong, after you marry the Tokugawa family, can you recruit some cavalry in Japan?"
As soon as Tokugawa Qizhao's father and daughter left, Zuo Zongtang, who was also sitting cross-legged behind Zhu Jishi, proposed in a low voice: "Those Japanese cavalrymen with a big burden look quite strong, if they can recruit three or five hundred, they will be more sure to fight Guangdong." ”
At present, Zhu Jishi has two islands close to the mainland, Lantau Island and Penghu, as training bases. The 600 trainees of the first phase of Ap Lei Chau will complete their studies in a few months, even if a few dozen are left as instructors. The remaining 500 or so officers can barely support an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people. It is not difficult to recruit more than 10,000 Han Chinese brave men who are bitter and bitter in Fujian at present, because the Manchu court has intensified its looting and oppression, and the people in Liangguang and Fujian are now in turmoil, which is very conducive to rebellion. But it is the infantry that is easy to recruit, and the cavalry is not so easy to recruit. Because there are no people in Liangguang and Fujian who can ride horses, this excellent cavalry cannot be trained in a short period of time.
Therefore, the lack of cavalry has become a shortcoming of the Jishi Army's combat effectiveness, so Zuo Zongtang proposed to recruit cavalry in Japan. This matter seems to be logical, Zhu Jishi is the son-in-law of the Tokugawa family, what is the difficulty of letting the Tokugawa family produce a few hundred cavalry? At most, a little money is.
But Zhu Jishi waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Strategist, you probably don't know Japan...... The Japanese seem to be gentle and polite on the surface, but they are cunning and murderous on the inside, and they are not afraid of death! This nation is actually a wolf! It's just that he has been kept in captivity by the Tokugawa family for hundreds of years, so he looks like a dog. The reason why I want to support the Tokugawa family now is to let them continue to raise wolves as dogs, and if they raise them for another ten or twenty years, everything will be solved. So don't recruit soldiers in Japan, let alone take them out of the Japanese archipelago, once the wolves taste blood, they won't turn back into dogs! ”
Zuo Zongtang was stunned, he really didn't have any concept of the Japanese nation. Regarding Zhu Jishi's support for the Tokugawa shogunate, he only thought that he wanted to obtain a transit point for Pacific trade, and he didn't think about anything else at all.
"Ming Gong, do you want to turn Japan into a Ming vassal after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty?"
Turning Japan into a vassal? Zhu Jishi shook his head slowly, this question ...... He didn't think about it either. Japan is not Korea, this country has always been isolated overseas, although it is a marginal member of the Chinese cultural circle of the Great China, but it has not really been a vassal to the Central Plains Dynasty since the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was unlikely that Japan would be turned into a vassal, and Zhu Jishi did not want to waste China's limited financial resources by creating a large number of useless vassal states.
"Japan will not become a vassal, it will definitely intersect as equals now, and it will ...... in the future" Zhu Jishi shook his head.
Annexation? It's very troublesome, and it's not easy for thirty or forty million Japanese to clean up. Colony? What is there to colonize on such a few broken islands? With this spare time, I still want to think about how to get my hands on Hawaii, and then make a lot of land in North America more realistic. (To be continued......)
