After the tribute process was completed, Tokugawa Ieqi submitted the declaration of vassalage in private on behalf of Kanehito - the reason why it was placed in private instead of at the court meeting was because Tokugawa Ieqi was the king of Shunyi County in the Ming Dynasty.

I came to see you as a person.

The Prince of Shunyi County in the Ming Dynasty was on the same level as the King of Japan who was conferred by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After the process of proclaiming a feudal lord was completed, the Tokugawa family made a new request to Zhu Jinsong: "Although I have lived on the Japanese island for a long time, I really admire the Ming culture in my heart. I hope that your majesty can choose a learned scholar as my teacher. I would be very grateful.

.”

And Zhu Jinsong readily agreed.

When it comes to Confucianism during the Qing Dynasty, it must be a corrupt Confucianism that was castrated and tampered with by the "Confucian masters" of the Qing Dynasty. In theory, it is pure dross. It is absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to let the people learn such a corrupt Confucianism.

.

But, as Zhou Xingxing said: Even a roll of toilet paper has its uses, and the corrupt Confucianism that was created by the Qing Dynasty naturally also has its uses.

For example, it was used to teach European barbarians such as Pierre, Holbach, Diderot, Howard, and Peano. For example, it was spread to the Japanese country to educate the Japanese slaves.

As for whether there are any rotten scholars who are proficient in this kind of rotten Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty... There were still a lot of this kind of rubbish in the Second Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty has only been dead for a few days now?

Not to mention that the Japanese state now regards Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as its standard.

As luck would have it, just when Zhu Jinsong was thinking about how to vigorously promote the study of corrupt Confucianism to the Japanese country, Tokugawa Jiaqi sent another divine assist: "Your Majesty, starting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties

, the Japanese country has already sent students to the Shangguo to study and seek education. Now that the Japanese country is a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, I would like to send an envoy from the Ming Dynasty to study in the Ming Dynasty. I hope your majesty will give you permission?"

Zhu Jinsong hummed and said, "That's right."

After the Tokugawa family all left, Zhu Jinsong hurriedly summoned Kong Xianzong, the poor leader, to the "palace".

If you really want to talk about it, Kong Xianzong was actually very embarrassed, and he was even more confused about Zhu Jinsong's summons.

As a member of the Southern sect of the Kong family, the Northern sect ended up being extinct, and the Southern sect failed to inherit the title of Duke Yansheng. It would be nonsense to say that Kong Xianzong had no ideas in his heart.

But the problem is that Emperor Zhu Jinsong of the Ming Dynasty never said anything bad about Saint Confucius. Instead, he directly changed private sacrifices to public sacrifices and left the work that Yan Shenggong should do to the Ministry of Rites. He also changed the specifications of the sacrifices.

Raised one level.

In other words, those who deserve to be sacrificed to Confucius must be sacrificed to Confucius, and the name of the Dacheng Holy Master has not changed at all.

Although I have to accept public sacrifices together with Mencius, Xunzi, Han Feizi and many other sages.

The only unlucky ones are actually those guys from Beizong.

From this point of view, Kong Xianzong was extremely grateful to Zhu Jinsong - since ancient times, if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die. This is the concept promoted by Confucianism. Nowadays, some of the incense of Nanzong has been retained. What else does he have?

Not satisfied?

Therefore, Kong Xianzong, who was very distressed, no longer thought about the things that he had and didn't have, and planned to concentrate on taking care of the poor and poor for the emperor.

What confused Kong Xianzong was why Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Emperor, suddenly summoned him.

Under normal circumstances, the Poor Department has a lot of troubles, but apart from matters such as Guangjian Social Studies, County Studies, and Government Studies, it basically has no contact with other departments in the court.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong rarely summoned Kong Xianzong alone.

After Kong Xianzong, who was looking confused, arrived at the "palace", Zhu Jinsong said straight to the point: "I summoned the Qing family to the palace today for the purpose of sending an envoy to the short boy."

Hearing what Zhu Jinsong said, Kong Xianzong suddenly remembered that His Majesty and his old man seemed to have always disliked those dwarfs, and now he actually agreed to send the dwarfs to send envoys to study in the Ming Dynasty?

There must be something fishy about this!

Facts have proved that Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Emperor, usually called people to a meeting urgently to deceive people——

Zhu Jinsong, who has always had a bad impression of short and tall people, after thinking carefully, said: "The Japanese country is a country that has transformed foreign countries. The Ming Dynasty is also a country in the Central Plains. As the saying goes, we will not reject those who come, and we will not chase those who go.

, Since the Japanese country has a desire to learn, we, the Ming Dynasty, will naturally open the door to convenience."

After finishing his high-sounding words, Zhu Jinsong was almost moved by himself.

Look, I am willing to use my family's knowledge to educate you savages who have just escaped from the ranks of monkeys. What kind of spirit is this?

Being selfless and benefiting others is the heart and magnanimity of a great country!

After being touched by himself, Zhu Jinsong continued: "As the saying goes, one sheep is herded, and two sheep are herded. Since we have already accepted foreign students from France and England, let's just include the dwarfs."

Kong Xianzong understood immediately.

In order to solve the problem of international students from France and England, the Ministry of Poor Affairs once opened a separate school in Jinan Prefecture to teach those international students from France and England.

In this school, the first thing to learn is Qie Yun, which is learning Pinyin. After the Qie Yun part of the course is completed, the second stage of the course will begin, such as the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, and then,

They are the Four Books, the Five Classics, Laozi, Zhuangzi, and knowledge such as history and governance.

As for Dharma, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, mathematics and other messy subjects, there is not a single bit of them.

Of course, it can't be nothing at all, because as long as these people perform well, they will have the opportunity to learn some relatively simple military skills, which will involve geography, astronomy and other aspects of knowledge.

To put it bluntly, Ming Dynasty wanted to train all the foreign students sent by France and other countries into a bunch of rotten scholars who were obsessed with studying!

Zhu Jinsong, who was not embarrassed at all, continued: "Also, I will ask the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to transfer a few military supervisors to teach these overseas students how to be loyal to the emperor and love the country.

.”

Zhu Jinsong remembers where the West Kunlun of later generations came from. There was a big little country called Su Shidan. This country started a war with itself because of something big like that.

Among the two sides fighting, many of the mid-level and senior generals of Nandan had studied at Shijiazhuang Luzhi, while those of Beidan had studied at the National Defense University.

In other words, a fight between the northern and southern elixirs can actually be understood as a fight between brothers from the same sect.

It's almost like the battle between the Air Sect and the Sword Sect.

Later, Zhu Jinsong said he didn't remember who won.

But the competition between Shijiazhuang Luzhi and National Defense University, two higher military academies for flower cultivation, was deeply remembered by Zhu Jinsong.

Zhu Jinsong's goal now is to turn all these foreign students into corrupt scholars, then send a group of supervisors to brainwash them, and then select some of the well-washed ones to teach them some basic war theories or the knowledge of leading troops to fight.

Just imagine, if these international students are used to living in the Ming Dynasty, will they feel that the moon in the Ming Dynasty is round? After they go back, they will live a savage life for a while...

Tsk tsk.

As long as there are three or five of these foreign students who have stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a long time who are good at studying, they can turn Europe and Japan into a pot of porridge.

At this time, does Daming need to mediate as his father?

Mediation requires human resources. If you ask Daming's father to mediate, can you not get some benefits?

If Daming's father chooses not to intervene, then the consequences are likely to be that these international students will win.

After the overseas students who yearn for the Ming Dynasty win, the benefits that the Ming Dynasty will receive are estimated to be several times greater than they are now.

Even if not - anyway, their country will definitely be severely weakened after the turmoil. At this time, whether it is to punish the unjust or to punish the people, it will be much easier than it would be under true circumstances.

As for whether these foreign students will suddenly open up the Ren and Du lines, or even harm the Ming Dynasty...

Obviously, only the Zhongyuan Tangkou in the whole world can fight with himself for five thousand years. This kind of war instinct accumulated over five thousand years is not what those barbarians learned in a day or two.

That's ok.

To give a very simple example: How do the little kids in the Central Plains play war games? How do the little kids abroad play war games?

Besides, it’s not like you can teach everything, you must retain some skills.

…

After returning to the post house arranged by Honglu Temple, Tokugawa Jiaqi happily found Zheng Jiangfu and said: "Good news! His Majesty the Ming Emperor has accepted the Japanese vassal status and has also accepted the dispatch of Ming envoys.

proposal!"

Zheng Jiangfu nodded, took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Tokugawa Ieki, handed it to Tokugawa Ieki and asked: "So, how does the general plan to arrange these envoys?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi was stunned and asked: "How to arrange it? Couldn't it be arranged by Ming Dynasty after sending people over?"

When asked by Tokugawa Jiaqi, Zheng Jiangfu was stunned.

After careful consideration, Zheng Jiangfu asked with a smile: "Can the matter of sending Ming envoys be decided by the general? The Emperor of Japan, oh, has become the king now. Where is the Emperor of Japan, the various feudal lords, and where are the daimyo?

No need to think about it?”

Tokugawa Jiaqi frowned and said, "Mr. Zheng, can you teach me something?"

Zheng Jiangfu chuckled, and then asked: "May I ask the general, which is more important, the immediate interests, or the future of the Japanese country?"

The Tokugawa family bowed slightly and replied: "Of course the future of Japan is important."

Zheng Jiangfu hummed and asked again: "May I ask the general, which one is more important, the Japanese general who conquered the barbarians, or the Ming Dynasty's Shunyi County King?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi frowned and thought for a long time, and replied: "The two are one and two, two and one. If I were not the Japanese general who conquered the barbarians, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not have named me the Shunyi County King of the Ming Dynasty. If I were

I do not accept the canonization of Prince Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, and from now on I will naturally regard myself as a general conquering barbarians of the Japanese state."

Zheng Jiangfu's heart trembled, and he hummed again and said: "Since the general decided to accept the "Seven Articles of Friendship for Tomorrow" proposed by the Ming Emperor, he knew that the general must put the interests of Japan first."

Seeing a smile on Tokugawa Jiaqi's face, Zheng Jiangfu went on to say: "If the general allocates more quotas for sending Ming envoys, he will lose his immediate interests and win the future of Japan."

Tokugawa Jiaqi nodded and agreed: "Hai, Jiaqi understands. But what if we send more people? After all, there are more talents coming to study, and more people will contribute to the Tokugawa family after they return?"

Zheng Jiangfu asked back: "On the surface, it is true. But once they come to the Ming Dynasty, they will inevitably have various expenses. Can the shogunate afford it now?"

Hearing what Zheng Jiangsuke said, Tokugawa Jiaqi's face couldn't help but change: "Indeed, since the great famine at dawn, the finances of the shogunate and the imperial court have become increasingly tight, and they cannot afford too many expenses."
