Directly discussing whether the ancestral system is correct or not without referring to the environment at that time is completely hooliganism.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which retreated to the northern grasslands, could still threaten the security of the Ming Dynasty. Those short-tempered Japanese people also took advantage of the situation and plundered the coast of the Ming Dynasty. This is how Zhu Yuanzhang's version of the "Forbidden Foreign Traffic Traffic Order" came into being.

.

I can’t help but what else can the sea do?

When Meng Yuan escaped to the north, he packed away all the real gold and silver in the Central Plains Hall, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to produce treasure notes in lieu of gold and silver transactions. The Ming Dynasty at that time was not only extremely poor, but at least it could

It's heartbreaking to say that you are so poor.

The famous classmate Ma Chao once said, use money to create happiness, and if you don’t have money, you are just playing chicken - war is fought with money, only with money can there be soldiers, only with money can there be weapons, and only with money can there be logistics.

Daming, who didn't need money but had a handful of bones, not only wanted to kill Bei Yuan completely, but also wanted to put an end to the harassment of Japanese pirates. In addition, he also had to deal with Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen who had fled to islands or neighboring sea countries. The most economical way was of course to ban the sea.

.

Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on "no entry into the sea" not only prevents coastal residents from interoperating with "rebels" who are unwilling to surrender, but also specifically targets certain bogus Japanese pirates. It can be regarded as a temporary military order.

The affected maritime trade was only temporary, with no entry or exit, and foreign trade to the Ming Dynasty was not greatly affected. Most of the grain and grass supplies needed by Xu Da during the Northern Expedition and to guard Yanjing also relied on sea transportation.

After the Yongle period, the Northern Yuan Dynasty could no longer pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty. The newly emerged Wala and Tatars on the grassland were attacked by Zhu Laosi from time to time. At this time, the dwarf still wanted to come to fight against the autumn wind, but in the end he could only

It could be that I was taught how to be a human being again.

In August of the second year of Yongle, because the Japanese pirates came to plunder southern Zhili and the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang again, Zhu Laosi was so angry that he simply asked Zheng He to negotiate with the Japanese: "Go and tell the Japanese chief, if he can't restrain his men properly,

, I don’t mind disciplining him for him!”

By the way, the title "Japanese Chieftain" does not mean to look down on the dwarfs, because starting from the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had granted the title of King Weinu and let him rule all the Japanese people. As the Ming Dynasty Emperor, Zhu Laosi did not

I don’t know who is in charge of those dwarf people now, so I simply coined the title Japanese Chieftain.

As we all know, although Zheng He and Eunuch Zheng were eunuchs, when he was overseas, he would destroy a country at every turn and kill a king. He had a typical firecracker temper. Zhu Laosi asked him to negotiate with the Japanese country, and Eunuch Zheng also

Can you get used to those short guys?

As a result, Eunuch Zheng directly led the fleet out to sea from Ningbo Peach Blossom Ferry, crossed the Nirayama Islands, crossed the East China Sea, and arrived in Hyogo Prefecture. He declared an edict to the third shogunate of the Muromachi Shogunate, Minamoto Michoyoshi, urging him to "suppress the bandits on his own and govern according to the laws of his country."

”.

You may not be familiar with Minamoto Moriichi, but those who have watched the cartoon "Smart Ikkyu" should remember that there is a general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who is often teased by Ikkyu.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Of course Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knew that Zhu Di had a bad temper, and he also knew that the Tatars, whom the Japanese had always feared, were beaten to pieces by Zhu Di, and if the Japanese had not been helped by the "Kamikaze", they would have been wiped out by the Tatars long ago -

- This is a very good reasoning question: Zhu Di can destroy the Tatars, the Tatars can destroy the Japanese, the boss can crush the second child, the second child can crush the third child, and the elder can easily defeat the younger third child.

The Japanese country is that little old man.

What makes Ashikaga Yoshimitsu even more worried and frightened is that if His Majesty Zhu Laosi, the Ming Emperor's grandfather, really wants to cross the sea to conquer Japan, he will not be afraid of "divine winds" or "demon winds" at all. He probably won't need to send additional troops. Guang Eunuch Zheng

The large ships led by this man and the killers under him were enough to bring disaster to the Japanese country.

If Eunuch Zheng is allowed to travel to the four islands for half a month, the Japanese nation will be in danger of extinction.

As a result, General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who had sized up the situation, gave a clear reply: "I will kill those troublemakers myself without you having to worry about it."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not dare to be careless this time. Instead, he kept his word and directly used the official army of the Japanese country at that time to sweep the holes and wipe out all the Japanese pirates on the island. Later, in order to show his sincerity, Ashikaga

Yoshiman also specially selected 20 leading Japanese pirates and sent them to the Ming Dynasty.

The funniest thing is the fate of the twenty pirate leaders.

Zhu Laosi looked at these "war criminals" sent by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and was worried: Kill them, it will show that we are not merciful; lock them up, take up space and waste food. Although the Ming Dynasty does not lack food for these few people, but they are

They were well fed and housed in the prison, but it was too cheap for them - at that time, the food in the Ming Dynasty cell's steamed buns and cabbage soup was much better than the poisonous cycads that ordinary dwarfs often ate.

So Zhu Laosi told the Japanese envoy: I don't want these people anymore, let your general handle it yourself.

The Japanese envoys were also in a dilemma: We are envoys, and the Ming Dynasty is in charge of the food, but we have to pay for these prisoners out of our own pockets. We squeezed our heads to get this good job as an envoy, and we also want to earn some travel expenses to go back and buy a house and land. Why?

Can you feed these death row prisoners?

Walking to Ningbo, the envoys were really angry in their eyes and hearts when they saw these Japanese pirates who were trying to deprive themselves. The result of this anger was that they actually lit a fire, made some big steamers, and cooked themselves

The twenty Japanese pirates who were escorted were tied up and put into cages, and then steamed to pieces in a huge fire.

Do you understand?

When Zhu Yuanzhang was a classmate, the sea ban was imposed more for military purposes than political or economic purposes. When Zhu Laosi's period was no longer necessary, the sea ban was naturally abolished, and it was only in name.

It still exists - in order not to violate the ancestral system, Zhu Laosi backhandedly played a trick of closing the sea and releasing Zheng He, and monopolized sea trade in the name of hunting down Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen.

Please note that Zhu Laosi’s behavior of eating alone is wrong.

At that time, Eunuch Zheng made seven voyages to the West. It is unknown whether he captured Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen. Anyway, there is no record of it in any official or unofficial data of the Ming Dynasty. However, Eunuch Zheng captured a lot of vassal states for the Ming Dynasty, and announced that

Wei Si also seized a large amount of white pepper, black pepper and other spices, which caused extremely valuable spices in the Tang and Song Dynasties to rot on the streets.

Historical records record that the Prime Minister Yuan Zai of the Tang Dynasty was executed for bribery and his house was confiscated. One of the stolen goods contained 800 stones of pepper, which is enough to prove its value.

However, it is also recorded in historical records: Because Eunuch Zheng brought back so many spices, Zhu Laosi’s family could not finish the spices even if they were used as meals. In the end, they could only use the spices to pay the wages of the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

.

"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said: Use history as a mirror to know the ups and downs. There are a lot of historical materials in the libraries of any county in the Ming Dynasty. Don't you idiots know to take a look?"

In particular, Watanabe Eemon has to block the village to achieve the result of relocating the wood...

Isn't this horse riding pure nonsense?

After Watanabeemon's words fell, Tokugawa Ieki suddenly felt like the dark clouds had been cleared and the moon was shining brightly.

Watanabeemonhai sighed, paused and said: "Thank you for your compliment, General. However, Watanabe is just a little clever, which is far less than the great wisdom of General!"

After figuring out the twists and turns, Ishikawa Iin and Toudo Takayoshi looked at Mitsukaku Kijin as if they were mentally retarded.

What's this?

This is rubbish. Even if you eat shit and ride a horse, you can't keep up with the hot rubbish!

The faces of Guangge Jianren and Kuan Gong Huiren were equally gloomy.

Guangge Jianren glanced at the feudal lords in the field, glanced at the daimyo, and said with a gloomy face: "The matter has come to this, I wonder if you have any good solutions?"

However, among the feudal lords and daimyo present, no one answered Kogekijin's question.

Ishikawa Iin then continued: "I think that instead of reacting passively, it would be better... why not take the initiative to accept civilian patients from the shogunate?"

Other feudal lords and daimyo also targeted Ishikawa Iin.

On the contrary, Guangge Jianren slammed the table and shouted: "Everyone be quiet! Ishikawa-kun, do you want to continue talking?"

After thinking about it secretly, Guangge Jianren gritted his teeth and said: "I will find a way to solve the food issue. You just need to take care of the lepers."

The more Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.

After thinking for a long time and unable to come up with a reason, Shimazu Hisamitsu simply asked directly: "Excuse me, General, are there any requirements for these quotas?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi also felt this.

Being outside the mainstream, coupled with the fact that he wrote such absurd articles as "The Theory of Farts", Gennai Hiraga became increasingly frustrated.

The main reason for this situation is that Hiraga Gennai was born in a low-level samurai family of Takamatsu Domain.

However, the architectural drawing was not in Gennai's arms, but was exposed from the gap in his belt. Gennai later became insane and died in the cold Kodenma Town Prison.

The so-called "suffering such an unusual death" refers to the fact that Gennai Hiraga should not be punished for killing two carpenters.

Tokugawa Jiaqi, who had personally visited the Ming Dynasty, knew the importance of the steam engine very well.

It's just that Tokugawa Jiaqi also knew in his heart that the distribution of quotas for senting envoys could not be fair and just at all.

After feeling secretly in his heart, Tokugawa Ieki looked around at all the feudal lords. The daimyo glanced at them and said in a deep voice: ""

To put it bluntly, the Japanese country, which has been blown away by countless incurable people in the sky and the earth, is actually similar to the situation in Tianzhu. Tianzhu has castes, and the Japanese country also has classes.

For example, why do those ronin samurai who lost their masters remain ronin instead of finding a job?

This also means that if Tokugawa Jiaqi wants to completely complete the blockade, he must first get rid of those ronin.

Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Tsushima, Hinata and other feudal lords also responded one after another, while the other feudal lords and daimyo could not help but frown.

This difference in geographical location naturally resulted in uneven development among the various vassals. Some vassals were relatively wealthy, while others were poor.

The difference in wealth and poverty will be directly reflected in the number of ronin in each domain.

The poorer the vassal is, the more rogues there are.

More importantly, the Satsuma clan, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords actually have a common name: Kyushu clans.

These feudal clans were originally hanging out on Kyushu Island. The Satsuma clan even sent troops to capture Ryukyu, forcing the Ryukyu king to surrender to Japan and pay tribute.

To say that they are willing to do so, they are definitely not willing to give in. Shimazu Hisamitsu, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords have not thought about resisting. At least they must find a good place, right?

Then Shimazu Hisamitsu and the others quickly moved to Ezo, completely giving up Kyushu Island.

More importantly, whose orders are these samurai and ashigaru going to obey?

What would the shogunate think if they were asked to obey the orders of the feudal lord and ignore the Tokugawa family? They were dragging each other back and fighting to pay off the ronin who had a nest of chickens!
