For Zhu Cixi, the nephew of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Southeast King of the Ming Dynasty, a good creditor of the Ming Dynasty, and the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, the most precious thing is not wealth and power, but time!

Time is always not enough, and it passes very quickly. Year after year is gone in the blink of an eye. What happened in the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth years of Chongzhen seems to be right in front of you, but the Chongzhen calendar has already turned to the thirty-eighth year of Chongzhen.

Year.

Zhu Cixiang was thirty-seven years old this year, and his father, Emperor Chongzhen, was already fifty-five years old. What pleased Zhu Cixiang, the most filial son of the Ming Dynasty, was that although Emperor Chongzhen was already fifty-five years old, this

Judging from his age, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was rich in child emperors, is definitely considered to have a long life, but his body is still as good as ever, no, he should be strong!

According to the report obtained by Zhu Cixiang, Zhu Youjian did not have a single illness record during the thirty-seventh year of Chongzhen's reign. This is of course because the case file about Emperor Chongzhen in the Taiyuan Hospital does not exist at all! Because this guy does not exist at all!

Don't get sick.

It doesn’t matter if he is not sick, and Emperor Chongzhen’s figure is so enviable. He is over fifty years old, but he is not fat at all. When his clothes are taken off, they are full of tendons. The only thing that can make Zhu Daxiao feel a little worried.

Emperor Chongzhen's hair and beard were all white - but don't worry too much, because Chongzhen may have had a lot of gray hair when he was in his thirties.

Another thing that worries Zhu Cixiang is that Emperor Chongzhen was too lecherous and did not pay attention to moderation. There were so many prostitutes in the harem that Zhu Cixiang would be given birth to many younger siblings every year. If this continued, it would be harmful to his health and longevity!

And Zhu Cixuan, who had been writing letters saying that he was in poor health and might not die soon (he started saying this in the 28th year of Chongzhen's reign), continued to pay tribute to Chongzhen's beautiful orchids. Not only were there mixed-race orchids, but also

There are also many blond and blue-eyed Kievan Rus' orchids, all of whom are the good father-in-law of Zhu Cixuan, the supervisor of the Great Mongolia, the godson of Emperor Chongzhen, the godbrother of Zhu Cixuan, and the Khan of the Crimea. Muhammad Glei IV

Tribute...

Thinking that his good brother Zhu Cixuan would probably die before being elected as the Great Khan, Zhu Cixuan felt a little sad. He went to war at the age of two, fought in various places, worked hard for half his life, and finally died before becoming the Great Khan.

, it’s really not worth it!

In comparison, the third child is more lucky. He will soon be the emperor! Half a year ago, Edo was finally forced to "open the city without blood", which can be regarded as an important chapter for the "Little Warring States Period" that lasted for more than ten years.

It's a very successful conclusion.

The reason why it is not very satisfactory is because the Tokugawa family was not completely destroyed like the former Hojo, the ruling family of the Kamakura shogunate. Instead, through the mediation of the compassionate Zhu Cixiang, they were forgiven on the condition of resigning and accepting the position.

, after handing over all the territories located in the Kinai Five Kingdoms, the Tokai Five Kingdoms, the Koshishin Two States, and the Eight Kanshu States, he then received the great title of Mutsu One Kingdom with 1.6 million koku and Dewa Kingdom with 230,000 koku, and obtained the hereditary Ouwa Guan Tuan.

The privileges of one’s position.

Although the 1.83 million stone territory is much lower than the previous 6.8 million stone territory - this is not a matter of 6.8 million stone minus 1.83 million stone, because the 6.8 million stone territory belongs to the Tokugawa Shogun family.

The current 1.83 million koku includes the territories of the Shin-do clan and the Gushidai domain that are still loyal to the Tokugawa family. The total is 1.83 million koku for the entire country of Oshu and the half country of Yushu. However, it was originally located in this 1.83 million koku territory.

All feudal lords who were not on the Tokugawa side moved to other parts of Japan and re-obtained the corresponding fiefdoms.

After a lot of twists and turns, the newly emerged Emperor Wu regime still had a 4.6 million koku Tenryu, although it was less than the Tokugawa family's 6.8 million koku. However, the standard of tribute rice set by Emperor Koiko for the Tenryu was one tsu and 0.5 koku.

It was much higher than the Tokugawa family's 0.35 koku per tsu, so the actual tribute rice income only decreased by about 80,000 koku.

Japanese "war" refers to the rice bag used to collect rent. Usually, land with a registered output of one stone of rice will be handed over one stone of rice every year. However, this war may be large or small. In some places, one stone is 0.5 stone or even 0.6 stone.

, such as those extremely vicious poor feudal lords.

In the Tenryo of the Tokugawa family, one dan was 0.35 koku. In the Edo period, this burden was the lightest in Japan. Moreover, the shogunate would provide some relief and waive some tributes when encountering natural disasters, and it would be fine.

The land was inspected as soon as possible, so the living standards of Japanese farmers under the shogunate must be the highest... In comparison, the overthrow of the shogunate in history had so many samurai, so little land, and they also inspected the land.

With so many "real stone heights" and the rent pockets so big, God knows how many farmers will starve to death!

Now Emperor Koiko has also issued a decree to carry out a comprehensive inspection of land in Tenryo. In this Japanese land, there will be more land after inspection...

When he thought that the farmers under Tianling would soon welcome the rent increase, Zhu Cixiang, who was riding a 1,500-ton large sailing ship sailing on the Seto Inland Sea in Japan, felt much relieved.

That's right, Zhu Cixiang is now on his way to Kyoto, Japan. He was invited to attend the coronation ceremony of his brother Zhu Cijiong!

After the bloodless opening of the city of Edo, Japan was unified under the banner of Emperor Koiko. However, Gomizuoin and his sons in Edo saw through the world of mortals and insisted on becoming monks. Moreover, they were serious monks and could not interact with nuns.

Holding hands.

Therefore, the bloodline of the imperial family must be inherited by Emperor Xingzi and Zhu Cijiong!

Emperor Koiko announced after the bloody opening of the city of Edo that he would abdicate again on the sixth day of June this year and abdicate the throne of emperor to his husband Zhu Jijiong.

This kind of thing was impossible before the emergence of the samurai court, because at that time the emperor was in the "heaven", but now the emperor is in the "earth". 4.6 million stone Tianling, Osaka, Edo, Kyoto, and Nagasaki's four major businesses

The city, coupled with the gold and silver from Iwami, Sado, Koshu and other places, as well as the two to three hundred thousand warriors loyal to the imperial family, were the foundation of the samurai court.

And all of this is shared by Xingzi and Zhu Cijiong, so Xingzi gives up and lets Zhu Cijiong live a few years of emperor addiction, and the people below will not have any objections...

Just when Zhu Cihong admired Emperor Xingzi's act of surrender, the door of the cabin had been pushed open, and a young steward with blond hair, blue eyes and a graceful figure appeared in front of Zhu Cihong.

"Master Chitose, Osaka Bay has arrived." The foreign waiter said with a smile and spoke fluent Chinese.

...

Off Osaka Bay, Japan.

This commercial capital of Japan had already begun to enjoy the prosperity of the era of the samurai emperor eight years ago. That year, Tokugawa Yoribo died of illness in Osaka Castle. The leaderless Tokugawa retainers were about to run out of food.

They chose to leave the city for a decisive battle. On the open battlefield south of Osaka City, they showed their blood and loyalty to their heart's content, and finally the entire army was annihilated!

The fall of Osaka also kicked off the general collapse of the Tokugawa shogunate's Kinai battlefield. In just one year, Wakayama Castle, Kameyama Castle, Fushimi Castle, Takato Castle, Nagahama Castle, and Hikone Castle were all rebuilt.

The Emperor's troops captured it.

At this point, the five Kinai Kingdoms were all under the firm control of Emperor Xingzi and Zhu Cijiong! After possessing the Kinai territory, Xingzi and Zhu Cijiong had complete control over the initiative in the war, but the Tokugawa Shogunate persisted for several years.
Chapter completed!
