When Tokugawa's family thought that Zhu Yigui was still in Nagasaki and was overjoyed, who thought that he suddenly received news that Zhu Yigui had arrived in Edo the next day.

This sudden accident surprised Tokugawa Izuru. Even the Mabu Hokkaido, who always thought he was resourceful, couldn't figure out what Zhu Yigui was going on.

When they saw Masato Inoue who was rushing to come, they directly asked whether the Great Ming Angel had something happened in Nagasaki, or that it had annoyed the other party for other reasons, why did they suddenly arrive in Edo?

"Your Highness, sir, I don't know." Inoue Masato frowned and said, "Admiral Zhu did not encounter any unpleasant things in Nagasaki, so I can guarantee this. And when I came with the ship, I also asked Admiral Zhu why he suddenly came to Edo so anxiously. Admiral Zhu just told me that he was tired of being in Nagasaki. He wanted to go to Edo and visit His Highness by the way, but he didn't say anything else."

Inoue Masato's words made Tokugawa Izuru and others even more puzzled. As a famous general in the Ming Dynasty and with a royal family, why is Zhu Yigui so strange? He seemed to be a little at will. Thinking of this, Tokugawa Izuru Izuru looked at each other, and for a moment, their faces changed slightly, as if they had thought of something.

"Your Highness, Admiral Zhu has landed in Edo. Before I came, Admiral Zhu asked me to express my greetings to you and hope to meet your Highness as soon as possible..." Inoue Masato continued, of course, this was relatively tactful, and Zhu Yigui would not lower his identity like this.

So what if the Tokugawa shogunate is the real ruler of Japan? For the Ming Dynasty, Japan is only a vassal state. With Zhu Yigui's identity in the army and his faint royal background, at most, Masato Inoue brought a message to Tokugawa Izuru and told the other party that Zhu Yigui was here and he wanted to meet Tokugawa Izuru.

Of course, as a minister of the shogunate, Masato Inoue naturally had to artistically process these words so that the general would not be unhappy when he heard them. Anyway, the meaning is that, just bring the words to you, why bother with the details?

It only took Zhu Yigui a day to go from Nagasaki to Edo, and it is noon on the second day.

Zhu Yigui couldn't wait to meet Tokugawa Ieji, which made Tokugawa Ieji and Mabe Honya be more vigilant. In addition, what they thought just now, he even more suspected that Zhu Yigui had a profound meaning and purpose. If he refused to meet or delayed the meeting time, this was not a good thing, but would bring passiveness to the shogunate.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ikeji agreed to Zhu Yigui's request for meeting and asked Inoue Masato to arrange it. After Inoue Masatoji left, Tokugawa Ikeji discussed the matter with Masatoshi, but after discussion, they did not discuss it. They just felt that Zhu Yikeji's purpose was to contact the local daimyo and attack the shogunate, and he couldn't think of anything else.

More than an hour later, Zhu Yigui, wearing the Ming Dynasty official uniform, was introduced to the General Imperial Office and met the contemporary general Tokugawa Isoji. Tokugawa Isoji was accompanied by Mabe Quanfang as his master and personally hosted Zhu Yigui at the Imperial Office.

Zhu Yigui stayed in the General Imperial Hall for about an hour and a half, and did not leave until the sun was about to set. In general, the meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere between the two sides. As a senior general and envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the actual ruler of Japan, Tokugawa Iejiro had in-depth discussions on the cooperation between the two countries in various aspects, trade, culture, military and other aspects and the current status, and basically reached an agreement.

At the same time, Zhu Yigui also greeted General Tokugawa's health and personal issues on behalf of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty with concern. When he learned that General Tokugawa was about to get married, he expressed his sincere blessings and greetings to this.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty expressed certain concern for Japan's political situation and hoped that Daemen in various places could unite around Tokugawa's Iesu as the core and make efforts for the prosperity and prosperity of Japan. General Tokugawa also said that as the shogunate, he would definitely contribute to stabilizing Japan, rely on the Ming Dynasty, follow the Ming Dynasty, and maintain generational friendship between the two countries...

Until Zhu Yigui left, the somewhat dizzy Tokugawa family had not understood Zhu Yigui's true intention until the end, and he was not sure whether Zhu Yigui's attitude towards the shogunate was good or bad. What did Zhu Yigui say mean his or the meaning of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

Not to mention him, even the Maibu Quanfang was a little confused. Before Zhu Yigui came, they had all kinds of speculations about Zhu Yigui's trip, but after meeting him, they felt that all these speculations seemed unreliable. For a moment, the two looked at me and I looked at you, staring at you with big eyes and little eyes and didn't know what to say, but one thing made them feel relieved, that is, when Zhu Yigui met, he clearly stated that North Korea was North Korea and Japan was Japan, and this attitude made them feel relieved.

Leaving the General Imperial Office, Zhu Yigui turned around and looked at the Imperial Office behind him, with an inadvertent smile on the corner of his mouth.

This time when I arrived in Japan, Zhu Yigui did not play according to common sense. Whether he was in Nagasaki or suddenly arrived in Edo, his whereabouts and actions were unpredictable.

In fact, this was all intentional by Zhu Yigui. Although the Ming Dynasty had information channels in Japan, the public in the public office had already entered Japan after the Ming Dynasty forced Japan to open a Hong Kong opening, and sent information from all over Japan to the Ming Dynasty.

But compared to North Korea, Japan is different.

The political structure of Japan is more complex than that of North Korea, and the Tokugawa shogunate controls places more than that of North Korea. In addition, the special relationship between the emperor and the general, as well as the different nationalities of the Japanese people, the Ming Dynasty did not station troops in Japan, which also made Japan still maintain independence and autonomy although it was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

So when Zhu Yigui received an order from Zhu Yicheng, he asked him to leave North Korea as soon as possible, go to Japan first and then transfer to Hokkaido, and then go to Shinming, he specifically mentioned that he would let Zhu Yigui go to Japan and inspect the situation of Japan, especially the attitudes of various classes such as the Japanese localities and shogunate towards the Ming Dynasty, especially the real situation of the Japanese shogunate.

If you understand this task in an ordinary way, it may take a long time to understand it. After all, as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yigui and others are very eye-catching in Japan. Once you ask directly or investigate secretly, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Japanese side.

Due to the difference between Japan and North Korea, doing so will also lead to misjudgment of the shogunate and local daimyos. If those Japanese who have a lot of imagination have misunderstood something, which will lead to changes in the political situation, it will be a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yigui is known as the duck king, and he has always been a wild and imaginative in leading troops to fight. If anyone in the entire Ming army has the strongest ability to lead troops to fight, Zhu Yigui will definitely not be the first, but if anyone in the Ming army has many strategies when fighting and can often win with unexpected strategies, then Zhu Yigui will not let it go.

This time, Zhu Yigui was thinking about it on the way to Japan. He planned to play cards without following common sense and achieve his goal in this way. Judging from the current results, Zhu Yigui basically achieved his goal. He first used the illusion of greed for money and lust, and then used their bribes to understand the situation in the Japanese local and business circles, and at the same time created an illusion for the shogunate.

Then, Zhu Yigui suddenly arrived in Edo without any precautions. When the other party did not react, he asked to see Tokugawa Ietsugu, and then used the shogunate sounding but not much practical to test the shogunate's real reaction to get what he wanted.

Everything went smoothly, so when Zhu Yigui came out of the shogunate, he had basically found out. What he learned was written by Zhu Yigui as a secret memorial to send it to the capital for Zhu Yicheng's advice. As for other matters in Japan, Zhu Yigui was not so interested in going deeper. After all, his next task was to go to Xinming, and at the other end of the sea, Xinming, with a vast land, was where he really showed his skills in the future.

Zhu Yigui didn't stay in Edo for long, and it only lasted for three days.

Afterwards, Zhu Yigui politely declined Tokugawa Ieji's retention and went directly from the Edo boarding ship to head north towards Hokkaido. When he saw Zhu Yigui's ships leaving Edo and gradually disappeared from the sea, Masato Inoue, who was seeing him off, put his hands in his sleeves, faced the cold wind at the dock, squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
