Chapter 838: The Emperor Of The Southern Dynasty: All The Things That Offended The Ming Dynasty Were
Honshu Island, the Imperial Palace of the Southern Dynasties.
The current emperor of the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Gogeyama, spread out the news about the Ming army's attack on Japan in front of a group of retainers and generals, and said with the same solemn expression:
“What do you guys think?!”
The retainers and generals below looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a while.
The Japanese in the Northern Dynasties didn't know why the Ming Dynasty suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese country. The Japanese in the Southern Dynasties more or less knew the reason.
Although the war edict sent by the Ming Dynasty to Japan was also sent to Prince Liangcheng of Kyushu Island, and was intercepted by Prince Liangcheng.
Afterwards, before Prince Ryoshigei had time to send the latest news that Ming Dynasty was going to war with them back to the Emperor of Honshu Island, the navy fleet sent by Ming Dynasty blocked Kyushu Island.
But earlier, they still knew a little bit about the interactions between Prince Huai Liang on Kyushu Island and the Ming Dynasty, and even the matter of detaining the Ming Dynasty envoys and killing the Ming Dynasty envoys' followers.
So now the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent a large number of troops to attack the Japanese country, and it started with such a domineering and cruel act of destroying the country.
The first thought in the minds of the Southern Emperor Go Kameyama, as well as the retainers and generals of the Southern Emperor, was that Prince Huairang's disrespectful behavior to the Ming Dynasty had in the end offended the giant dragon of the Ming Dynasty.
Now the giant dragon of Ming Dynasty is finally venting his anger on them!
Looking at the silent retainers and generals, Emperor Go-Kameyama became increasingly angry:
"Don't you guys have anything to teach me?!!"
Don’t you know that he is now afraid that the Ming Dynasty will attack and kill him, the Emperor of the Southern Dynasties?!!
At this moment, Emperor Gogeyama couldn't help but feel resentment towards the deceased Prince Huaira, who was responsible for garrisoning Kyushu Island in the past.
In the past, when Prince Huai Liang detained the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, he felt happy for a while, but after he was satisfied, he died happily, "There is no need to worry about the revenge of the Ming army anymore.
But now, under the provocation of Prince Huailiang, Ming Dynasty finally became angry, but it was the turn of those who were still alive to bear Ming Dynasty's anger.
Facing the anger of the Ming Dynasty, their Japanese country may have to turn into a crematorium.
Even him, the Emperor of the Southern Dynasties, might become one of the corpses burned by the Ming army in the Japanese crematorium.
Faced with Emperor Go-Kameyama's dissatisfied questioning, a retainer below spoke with relief and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Emperor, maybe the Ming army is not coming for us."
"For example, since the Ming army landed, the Ishimi, Tango, Noto, and Bizen kingdoms they successively captured were all the reishi kingdoms that were subordinate to the Northern Dynasty, and there were no reiji kingdoms that were subordinate to us and the Southern Dynasties."
"Perhaps those people in the Northern Dynasty offended the Ming Dynasty, so they made the Ming Dynasty angry and raised an army, sending a large number of troops to attack us.'
Upon hearing this, another general retorted:
“Even if those people in the Northern Dynasty offended the Ming Dynasty, didn’t we, the people in the Southern Dynasty, offend the Ming Dynasty?!”
"Don't forget the letter from Prince Huailiang telling me to wait for you!"
As soon as these words came out, all the retainers and generals present fell silent for a while. This was what they were most worried about.
Although they didn't know how the people of the Northern Dynasty offended the Ming Dynasty, they knew that according to the disrespectful things Prince Huailiang did to the Ming Dynasty in the past, even if the Ming Dynasty wiped out all the people in the Southern Dynasty, they didn't know whether it would be able to alleviate the anger of the Ming Dynasty. .
After a while, another retainer spoke quietly:
"No!"
"We, the people from the Southern Dynasties, have ever offended the Ming Dynasty?!"
"We, Nan Chao, have always respected the Ming Dynasty the most!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately turned their eyes towards him, and their eyes revealed the same message:
[There’s nothing wrong with your mind, right? You actually said such flawed words!]
However, after the retainer carefully sorted out his thoughts, he continued:
"In the past, even we knew very little about Prince Huai Liang's provocation against the Ming Dynasty."
"Now that Prince Huai Liang has passed away, there are even fewer people who know about it.
"So people in the Northern Dynasty probably didn't know about Prince Huai Liang's provocation to the Ming Dynasty."
"Similarly, although I don't know if the people of the Northern Dynasty really offended the Ming Dynasty, after the Ming Dynasty landed, the Lingzhi Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty was successively captured, and they did not come directly to us and other Southern Dynasties." 1
"Then it at least illustrates two points. The Ming army either doesn't know the difference between our Northern and Southern Dynasties, or they know the difference between our Northern and Southern Dynasties, but they don't know that Prince Huai Liang is a local daimyo affiliated with our Southern Dynasties!"
"And what we have to do is to first send envoys to ask why the Ming Dynasty raised troops to attack the Japanese country like us."
"If the Ming Dynasty replies that it was because other people from the Northern Dynasty besides Prince Huai Liang offended the Ming Dynasty, that's why the Ming Dynasty raised troops to attack the Japanese countries like us."
"Then we must first make it clear to the Ming Dynasty that because of the rebellious officials and traitors in the Northern Dynasty who forced His Majesty Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate, the Japanese Kingdom has been temporarily divided into two parts, the Southern and Northern Dynasties."
"What the Northern Dynasty did does not fully represent the Japanese country, let alone our Southern Dynasty!"
"We in the Southern Dynasty all respect the Ming Dynasty very much, even if it weren't for the gang of rebellious officials and traitors in the Northern Dynasty who have been rebelling for many years.
"We have long sent envoys to express our vassal status to the Ming Dynasty and establish vassal relations with the Ming Dynasty."
"Now that the Great Tomorrow Soldiers have arrived, we and other soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are willing to join the Great Tomorrow Soldiers in the crusade against the Northern Dynasty!"
"At that time, maybe we can use the Ming Dynasty's army to suppress the Northern Dynasty and the shogunate in one fell swoop, and reunify the Japanese kingdom!"
After hearing the last sentence, both Emperor Gogeyama and other retainers and generals opened their eyes wide and breathed rapidly.
Is it really possible to suppress the Northern Dynasty and the shogunate and reunify the Japanese kingdom?!!
You must know that before Emperor Gogeyama ascended the throne, the power of the Southern Dynasty regime had already begun to weaken.
Especially after Emperor Gogameyama ascended the throne, the places where the Southern Dynasty's decrees could reach were limited to several countries around the palace such as Yamato, Kawachi, Izumi, and Kii, as well as the Sesaifu on Kyushu Island and the Kono clan on Shikoku Island. area.
In addition, after Prince Zongliang and Prince Huailiang who belonged to the Southern Dynasty also died one after another, the Southern Dynasty court lost its power.
Compared with the declining Southern Dynasty, the power of the Northern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate, which truly controlled the power of the Northern Dynasty, was growing day by day, and they fought against the Southern Dynasty year after year.
To put it bluntly, they have wanted to vote for the Northern Dynasty in the past two years. Oh no, they want to talk to the Northern Dynasty about the peaceful reunification of the two dynasties.
For example, the reason why Emperor Kameyama was able to replace his elder brother, Emperor Chokei, ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Southern Dynasties.
The most fundamental reason was the conflict between Emperor Chokei, who had a tough attitude towards the Muromachi shogunate, and Gogameyama, who had a conciliatory attitude towards the Muromachi shogunate.
In the end, the peace faction of the Southern Dynasty rose up and overwhelmed the dogmatists who opposed reconciliation with the Northern Dynasty. Finally, Emperor Go-Kameyama was supported by the peace faction of the Southern Dynasty and ascended the throne.
In fact, if the Ming Dynasty had not intervened, then according to the original history, it would have been in 1392 (the 9th year of Yuanzhong in the Southern Dynasty and the 3rd year of Mingde in the Northern Dynasty), which was five years later.
Izumi Kii of the Muromachi Shogunate in the Northern Dynasty protected Ouchi Yoshihiro and began to negotiate with Yoshida Sobo and Ano Minoru in the Southern Dynasty regarding the unification of the two dynasties.
In October, the Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu proposed to the Southern Dynasty the conditions for peace between the two Koreas (Meitoku Peace Treaty) through the priest Yoshida Kanehiro.
On the 28th of the same month, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty accepted the peace treaty, left Yoshino with the three artifacts, and arrived at Daikakuji Temple in Kyoto on the 2nd of October.
On the 5th of the same month, the three sacred artifacts were moved from Daikakuji Temple to the Tsuchimikamon Gate where Emperor Komatsu lived in the Northern Dynasties.
This marked the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, and the Northern Dynasties peacefully unified Japan.
However, this unification did not last long.
Because one of the conditions in the Mingde Peace Treaty signed between the Southern and Northern Dynasties was that two lines should be established one after another (that is, the Dajuesi line of the Southern Dynasty and the Chimeiyuan line of the Northern Dynasty would alternately inherit the throne).
However, on November 27, the 17th year of Onei (1410), the Muromachi shogunate violated the conditions of the Meitoku Peace Treaty regarding the establishment of two unifications, and prepared to establish Prince Kohito, the son of Emperor Komatsu, as the crown prince.
According to the provisions of the Meitoku Peace Treaty on the establishment of two unifications, the next step should be to establish the son of Emperor Kameyama as the crown prince.
Faced with the dishonest behavior of the Muromachi shogunate, Emperor Gogameyama suddenly left Saga and visited Yoshino secretly, hoping to summon the forces of the old Southern Dynasty to protest.
However, this move had no effect. The Northern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate were finally done.
In 1412, Prince Gongren of the Northern Dynasty ascended the throne and became Emperor Chengguang.
In 1415, Kitahata Manmasa, the Secretary of Ise Province, launched a rebellion against the shogunate.
Under the mediation of Prince Ueno (the younger brother of Emperor Go-Kameyama), Kitahata stopped the attack, and Emperor Go-Kameyama reached a reconciliation with the shogunate.
The following year, the Muromachi shogunate believed that it was very dangerous to place Emperor Gogeyama in Yoshino. With the negotiation of Kanenobu Hirohashi, Emperor Gogeyama returned to Daikakuji Temple in Kyoto.
On April 12, the 31st year of Oei (1424), Emperor Gogameyama passed away at Daikakuji Temple. Before his death, he asked his son Kokura Miya Tsuneton to inherit his legacy and take it back from the hands of the Jimeiin clan (from the Northern Dynasties). throne.
After that, the descendants of Emperor Go-Kameyama have been trying to restore the Southern Dynasty imperial line. It was because of the Go-Nan Dynasty movement that the originally peaceful and unified Japanese country once again fell into long-lasting rebellion.
Although Emperor Gogeyama and a group of retainers and generals of the Southern Dynasty did not know that the Northern Dynasty and the Muromachi Shogunate would break their promises in the future, they were not very happy about surrendering to the Northern Dynasty.
After all, they are peace factions and want to talk to the Northern Dynasties about the peaceful reunification of the two Koreas.
To put it bluntly, isn't it because they have been unable to defeat the Northern Dynasty, and if they continue to resist the Northern Dynasty, they are worried that sooner or later they will be truly destroyed by the Northern Dynasty.
If they can beat the Northern Dynasty, if they can fight against the Northern Dynasty like the Northern Dynasty beat them.
Then they would not have any thoughts on peace talks at all, they would only think about how to truly destroy the Northern Dynasty and let their Southern Dynasty unify the Japanese country!
But now the appearance of the Ming army, and the words of the general, gave them an opportunity to use the Ming army to suppress the Northern Dynasty and the shogunate, and unify the Japanese country!
However, although the retainer's words were very touching, Emperor Gogameyama was not carried away by it. Instead, he calmly asked:
"."If Ming Dynasty replies that it was because Prince Huai Liang offended Ming Dynasty that Ming Dynasty raised troops to attack the Japanese country like us, then what should we do?!!"
After hearing Emperor Gogeyama's inquiry, the retainer smiled confidently:
"Where's the evidence?!!"
"Prince Huai Liang is dead, and there is no evidence of his death. Who can testify that the person who offended and offended the Ming Dynasty in the past is really Prince Huai Liang?!"
"In my opinion, it must be those rebellious ministers and traitors in the Northern Dynasty who deliberately used the name of our Southern Dynasty Prince Huailiang to do things that offended the Ming Dynasty in order to frame us."
"The purpose is to deliberately anger Ming Dynasty so that Ming Dynasty will send troops to attack us!"
"Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty has sharp eyes and saw through the conspiracy of the rebellious officials and traitors of the Northern Dynasty in time."
"Then we took the initiative to send envoys to contact the Great Tomorrow Army. In order to show that we, the Southern Dynasty, and the Northern Dynasty are not on the same road, we are even more willing to send troops to join the Great Tomorrow Army to attack the Northern Dynasty to prove our innocence!"
"In a word, we in the Southern Dynasty have never offended or offended the Ming Dynasty!!"
"We people from the Southern Dynasties respect the Ming Dynasty very much!!!"
"Everything that offended the Ming Dynasty was done by people from the Northern Dynasty in the name of our Southern Dynasty!!!"
Hearing this, everyone present understood that it was just pouring dirty water on the people of Beiqi.
Anyway, Ming Dynasty couldn't tell whether the people who had offended them before were from the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Dynasties.
If (Li Hao) Ming Dynasty could distinguish clearly, then Ming Dynasty might have come towards them in the Southern Dynasty.
In addition, the Northern Dynasty did not know that Prince Huailiang had offended and offended the Ming Dynasty.
As long as they, who know the whole truth, seize the opportunity and deliberately mislead the Ming Dynasty, there is a high possibility that people from the Northern Dynasty will take the blame on their behalf.
At that time, in order to regain its position, Ming Dynasty will definitely sell the trouble to the people of the Northern Dynasty.
As long as they follow the Ming army and wait until the Ming Dynasty suppresses the forces of the Northern Dynasty, they can regain the territory of the Northern Dynasty at a very small cost.
In this way, the reunification of the Japanese kingdom in the Southern Dynasties will be just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Emperor Gogeyama immediately looked at the retainer who had just made the suggestion and said:
"You will be responsible for this matter, you must be quick!"
"We must take the first ten steps to contact the Ming army on behalf of our Southern Dynasty before the people from the Northern Dynasty contact the Ming army!"
Only by taking the lead in contacting the Ming Dynasty's army before the people of the Northern Dynasty can they confuse right and wrong and stir up trouble in front of the Ming Dynasty's army.
Otherwise, if the people of the Northern Dynasties were the first to come into contact with the Ming army, then what they said as latecomers might not be able to be believed by the Ming army.
After hearing Emperor Kameyama's words, the retainer also nodded sharply in the posture of earth seat and said:
“Hi use it!”
Then Emperor Kameyama and a group of retainers and generals wanted to seize the time to be the first to contact the Ming army. Without much hesitation, they chose the Ming army of Jin Wang Zhu Fang who was closest to them, and then sent envoys to contact Cai.
