Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 218: Duke Cao's Big Pie
Leave from the palace.

With the tacit approval of Emperor Chokei, Nobuyuki Tanaka went to the Imperial Palace Treasure House.

Although Emperor Chokei was the loser in the war, he took away a lot of treasures from Kyoto.

No matter how bad Japan is, it is still a relatively abnormal country on the coast of the East China Sea. From ancient times to the present, it has invaded Korea many times. The land of Korea has to "pay tribute" to Japan with a large number of treasures almost every few decades.

These treasures naturally became collectibles in Japan.

After many years of accumulation, Japan also has many very impressive collections.

Many of these items are even treasures brought by the former Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen.

"General Tanaka, this is the treasure house brought from Kyoto. Please take a look at what you want." A woman wearing a court uniform and wooden clogs bent down and bowed to Nobuyuki Tanaka.

"I understand. You go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor that I will definitely complete the task he assigned me." Tanaka Nobuyuki said this expressionlessly, and the palace maid retreated to the outside of the shoji door while keeping a bow.

As for the rest of the treasure house, Nobuyuki Tanaka just walked around and took a look.

After simply finding some items that he thought could be given to Li Wenzhong and would satisfy the other party, he returned to his room.

Most residences in the Central Plains are called "fu", while those in Japan are called "omuro".

As a member of the Tanaka family of the Southern Dynasty regime, Tanaka Yukinobu's palace was quite large, and there were many Central Plains style decorations in the courtyard.

These are the villas that he personally decorated by hiring the Yin-Yang master from Kikumon.

The Japanese Onmyoji evolved from some of the humanitarian people who traveled to Japan when Monk Jianzhen sailed eastward.

These Onmyojis combined Taoist teachings with Japanese Shintoism and eventually formed a new sect that worshipped Amaterasu and Izanagi.

Judging from the current development, apart from the fact that both parties are using gossip, the rest is irrelevant.

After returning to the otaku, Nobuyuki Tanaka told his wife about this incident.

After a while of making love, Nobuyuki Tanaka felt that something was lost in his body, and then he lay down on the tatami.

"Yumi, I will go to Fukue Island tomorrow to visit the general from the Central Plains. If I cannot return safely, you will find someone else. But you must take good care of Daiko. He is my only child."

With her hair scattered on her shoulders and only a quilt wrapped around her, Yumi Kazama couldn't help but hug her husband tightly.

She didn't know why her husband had been acting so strange since he came back tonight.

As a woman, the only thing you can do is to comfort the other person.

Two minutes later, the noise in the house died down, and the next morning, Nobuyuki Tanaka, seen off by Emperor Nagayoshi and others, boarded a ship bound for Fukue Island.

In order to demonstrate their importance to Li Wenzhong, Emperor Nagayoshi took out his own imperial ship.

No matter from which perspective, he already cares about the other person enough.

I think that should be enough to give him face.

The port closest to the sea in the Nara area is called Osaka, which will also be a very famous city in Japan in the future.

It’s just because Osaka is close to the sea and Japan does not have enough means to resist the waves, which has resulted in such a beautiful land not being developed yet.

The Southern Dynasty could only build a new capital in a safer location behind Osaka, namely Yoshino and Nara.

Fukue Island, Shogun's Palace.

Li Wenzhong was sitting in a huge square, watching everything happening in front of him with great interest.

On top of a huge arena, two fat guys were using various techniques to attack each other's weak points.

I don’t know what the sumo wrestler on the left ate to grow up, but he weighs nearly 300 kilograms.

With just a casual shake, his whole body was like an earthquake on a mountain, trembling and shaking everywhere. At the same time, he stared at his opponent with sharp eyes.

After determining that his opponent had revealed a weakness, he immediately decided to attack and pounced on him at the fastest speed he thought possible.

In an instant, this guy turned into a ball of meat and rolled over to attack the opponent.

boom!
There was a loud bang, and the enemy raised his hand to block. This was the sumo technique of 'Yashi', which was to suppress the opponent's attack with a slap.

Unfortunately, this trick didn't work, and the 300-pound contestant defeated his opponent by sheer force.

He grabbed the cloth bags on both sides of the opponent's lower body with both hands, trying to push him down.

However, his opponent is no vegetarian, otherwise he wouldn't be so fat.

Although his opponent did not have the weight advantage, he was able to resist this overwhelming attacking posture.

Keep your legs tight against the ground and try your best to avoid being caught by the other person.

The two sides remained in a stalemate until finally the 300-jin athlete made a change and immediately collapsed to the side.

In an instant, the two men collapsed into the ring circle like a huge mountain collapsing.

Taking advantage of this, the 300-jin athlete quickly stood up, quickly controlled his opponent, and then threw him to a hug.

Let the other party leave the circle of rules!

Having won, he happily waved towards Li Wenzhong.

"Great! Hahaha! I didn't expect that the wrestling that was passed down to you in Japan from the Spring and Autumn Period has developed like this." Li Wenzhong said happily to the people around him.

"Your Excellency General, these are left behind by our predecessors who had connections between Japan and the Central Plains. It is their honor that you are happy with today's game." Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi answered in a senior manner.

Ever since he became Li Wenzhong's slave retainer, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi has made plans that his life will be worse than death in the future.

On second thought, he realized that he seemed to have lived a life worse than death for nearly twenty years. The main reason he was able to survive, apart from good luck, was that his belief in killing his brother was too strong.

He was so powerful that as soon as he came out of the well, he was able to run all the way to the foot of the mountain. He also picked up a knife, cut open the opponent's chest, took out the opponent's heart and crushed it.

At the same time, this incident also cost him a certain price.

The price he paid was that he fell into a coma after being stepped on the ground and humiliated by Li Wenzhong.

Fortunately, after this period of recuperation, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroya slowly recovered. Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, but also as if a lot had happened.

After the sumo match, Li Wenzhong asked the opponent another question.

"Nagano Hiroshi, how come you are Japanese and can speak Chinese?"

At first, Li Wenzhong thought that there were not many Japanese who could speak Chinese. Unexpectedly, after Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi woke up, this guy could actually speak fluent Chinese, which surprised Li Wenzhong very much.

It wasn't until now that I had the chance to ask the other party.

"That's right, General. When my father was still alive, he told me that the Ming Empire would become very powerful in the future, and by then, there would be exchanges between Japan and the Ming Empire.

As the leader of the island and the heir of the Fujiwara clan, I must learn Chinese. The reason I couldn't communicate with you in Chinese in time on the day my brother was killed was because I was not in my right mind at that time.

In fact, there are many people in Japan who can speak Chinese, especially those from aristocratic families like us.”

"I see. I didn't expect that my Ming Dynasty is such a country in the eyes of you Japanese. Well, you are very good." Li Wenzhong looked at Nagano Hiro with admiration and thought that this slave was a promising talent.

Japan will become the base of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so it is time for him to consider it before completely eliminating the Japanese.

Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi should be his puppet to control Japan.

After the matter is done, whether to keep the other party or kill him completely depends on his mood.

The most important issue now is how to deal with Emperor Chokei.

Three days had passed since he sent someone to inform Emperor Nagayoshi.

According to the time calculation, the other party should be on the way.

Li Wenzhong's eyes suddenly focused, and he asked:

"Since the Japanese nobles can speak some Chinese, then you should know what the situation of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is like. Also, how familiar are you with the terrain of Japan?"

Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi didn't know why the lord asked this question, but he still answered honestly and respectfully:

“General Li, before I was persecuted by that beast, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had already shown amazing strength under the training of his father Ashikaga Yoshiakira. It is said that he already had the strength to unify the whole of Japan!
Since I woke up, I learned from my subordinates that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is very powerful now.

Lord Li, he has many family warriors as soldiers. "Speaking of this, Fujiwara Nagano Hiro turned his head and said flatteringly:

"But I believe that compared to you, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is like an egg hitting a stone. If he doesn't know his own limits, he will definitely suffer a great loss!"

This was not intentional on the part of Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi, but because he saw that the weapons Li Wenzhong brought to Japan were really outrageous.

Twenty years ago, Japan was in a very chaotic era.

At that time, under the leadership of his father, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi exerted all available forces to eliminate all enemies on the entire Fukue Island.

In his opinion, he was already strong enough. However, when he saw the cannons and various magical weapons in Li Wenzhong's hands, he realized how much he had underestimated the Ming Dynasty.

You can imagine the scene of a primitive man seeing a cannon fire a shell that instantly shattered a reef two kilometers away into ashes.

This is also the reason why Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi had no intention of resisting even though he had become a slave.

Compared with resistance, he thought that becoming a primitive man in Japan was a better way out for himself, that is, becoming a running dog of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it means embracing civilization!
"As for Japan's terrain," Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi hesitated a little, then quickly answered confidently:
"I'm not bragging, but I've been to many places in Japan's eight continents. I can recite all the places I've been to by heart, so I have no problem acting as a living map. I wonder if Lord Li wants me to lead the way?"

He didn't know why Li Wenzhong asked this, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that he could demonstrate his own value.

Li Wenzhong looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything. He just revealed a little bit of his meaning and said:

"It's nothing, actually. Since you have become a servant of my Li family, I will give you an opportunity."

He stood up, patted his wide crimson robe, took two steps forward, put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance and said:

"In the future, the Ming Dynasty will come to this land. By then, we will lack a leader, and I hope you can become that leader. I hope you can make your own contribution to the Ming Dynasty."

After saying this, Li Wenzhong turned slightly and patted Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi on the shoulder:

"I'm very optimistic about you."

In an instant, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi's pupils could not help but dilate, and he turned around to look at Li Wenzhong's back.

There was deep emotion in his eyes!

He never thought that he could get the other party's recognition!

In Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi's eyes, Li Wenzhong was his reborn parent. If it weren't for his appearance, he would never have been released by Mikami Goji, and he would never have had the chance to take revenge!

Now the other party not only says that he is optimistic about him, but he also has the opportunity to serve the Ming Dynasty!
Maybe in the future he can
He no longer dared to think about what would happen next; this was not something he should worry about.

He just knelt down in the direction the other party left and shouted:

"Long live the Ming Dynasty! General Li will always be the master of my Fujiwara clan!"

The next morning, Li Wenzhong heard a piece of news early in the morning.

A huge fleet came from the direction of Nara Yoshino.

When Li Wenzhong came out of his house and stood outside the shoji door and took a closer look, he found that there were several more ships on the seashore that were about the same size as the Ming Dynasty granary ships.

It is obvious from the decorations above that these ships are all Japanese style without exception.

And it also has a lot of royal aura.

Li Wenzhong showed doubt on his face:
"Did Emperor Chokei personally go there? But that's not right. I remember the people I sent out repeatedly told me that I would personally go there in a few days. Why are they the ones going now?"

"Master! Master! You finally woke up," Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi walked towards him breathlessly, and the crisp sound of his wooden clogs made on the wooden floor.

"What? Emperor Chokei came to Fukue Island in person? What is this guy's purpose? Does he want to go to war with me?" As soon as Li Wenzhong opened his mouth, the other party was horrified and sweated profusely.

I thought to myself, Master, are you kidding me? Based on the current strength of the Ming navy, it would not be difficult to blow up the entire Japanese island, unless Emperor Nagayoshi had a problem with his brain.

Otherwise, how could he go against you, his master?

He didn't say these words, but hurried to explain.

"No, no." Fujiwara no Hiroshi tried his best to calm down and said:

"It was Emperor Chokei who sent his most trusted subordinate, Tanaka Yukinobu, to Fukue Island with a shipload of treasures. He said he wanted to give these treasures to you, the master, and that they were to congratulate you for coming to Japan as a guest."

"Oh? They actually took the initiative to send me gifts? Emperor Nagayoshi is so sensible?" Li Wenzhong was a little surprised. He touched his chin and remembered that the other party had also sent his generals to Fukue Island.

So he asked about the other party's whereabouts.

"Where is that Tanaka Yukinobu you mentioned just now?"

"He is now in the hall waiting for the master's summons." Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi raised his hand and pointed to a place not far away.

It can be clearly seen that there are many people who do not belong to the Fujiwara clan and the residents of Fukue Island.

They were wearing elegant formal dresses, and it was obvious that they were dressed up, otherwise no one would dress so strangely.

Li Wenzhong didn't waste any time, he stood up and walked towards the hall.

Soon I saw a group of people kneeling in the hall and chatting animatedly.

The first person he saw was the guy in a black coat.
