The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Masayuki Hoke (June 17, 1611 -), the third son of Hidetada Tokugawa, the second-generation general of the Edo shogunate, his mother was his lover Ajing (Jykoin), and his young name was Komatsu. Because Xiuzhong’s main room, Chongyuan Temple, Hadong Lion Roar, and Xiuzhong himself is a man who is afraid of his wife, after Komatsu was born, he did not dare to raise in the city. Later, when Xingxingyuan raised Komatsu until he was seven years old, he gave Masako to Baoke Masamitsu who was related to the Takeda family as an adopted son.

Bao Ke Zhengguang did not have a son, although he had another adopted son, but after taking Yukatsu as his adopted son, he let Yukatsu be his heir and named him Baoke Zhengzhi.

After that, Masaichi succeeded the Shinano country's Takato Domain Sanwanishi. After Hidetada's death, his brother Iemitsu Tokugawa, a three-generation general, valued him a lot. In 1636, he was asked to take out 200,000 stones from the Yukuni Yamagata clan, and in 1643, to take the Mutsukaitsu clan 230,000. stone.

Masayuki Hoke has a loyal heart and helped the four generations of General Tokugawa Iazu that spare no effort. He wrote "Fifteen Articles of Aizu Family Precepts" last year, which stated that "Aizu Clan exists to protect the general's house, such as If the lord of the feudal lord betrays, the vassals should not follow" the instruction was strongly recognized by the samurai class of the Aizu clan.

Yan Changwu also came to join in the fun. He visited Bao Kezheng's home. The two were close in age, had many experiences, and had endless topics.

"The higher the position, the fewer friends, old friends, if I do something wrong, you have to criticize and correct me!" Yan Changwu's position is placed very low, calling him you, me, and me.

"The prince is wise and wise, I am now a man in the mountains, how can I have any insight!" Bao Ke Zhengzhi has abdicated to his son Bao Ke serious, saying that he has no officials and light.

"You will enjoy the blessing, I have to be busy!" Yan Changwu talked about the European war. Bao Kezhengzhi read the map and admired the truth: "The prince has helped a great deal, but it should be solved in five to ten years. Take it easy."

"Hey, hard work, running from east to west, it’s not easy to take a boat!" Yan Changwu talked about the two Zhonghua and Daming, talked about economic development, lack of population, and the Japanese need to help, but Bao Kezhengzhi mentioned America, he Said: "I heard that the land of America is more autonomous. The prince should know that the whole world is the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the court of the king, don't let it go!"

Then he recommended himself: "I, the Japanese, are willing to be the forerunner of the prince, clear the enemy there and build the Americas, and only ask the prince to give me a piece of land for the Japanese!"

When he said this, his heart was pounding.

However, Yan Changwu was hard-hearted and unmoved at all. He did not let go, and only agreed to increase the immigration quota of Japanese widows to the land of China in the Americas.

It was impossible for the Japanese to bypass South China's maritime power and send their own immigrants to occupy the Americas, so the proposal was over.

Bao Ke Zhengzhi was very disappointed that he couldn't get the land of America because of his old face, let alone in the future.

According to what he learned, Yan Changwu laid down the family law of his ancestors: "All the land in the two Chinas must not be less than an inch, and the monarch who loses the land shall not enter the ancestral temple!"

This is the case for Nanhua, as is Xinming. It is difficult to occupy the land of the Chinese people!

Everyone does not mention these hurtful things, but just recounts the old. While Yan Changwu gave a large number of gifts to Bao Kezhengzhi, he also wrote the inscription: "The heart of Yunchang!"

Guan Yunchang, Liu Bei's brother, his lifelong loyalty, benevolence and bravery, and his integrity is the world's best. Yan Changwu praised the loyalty of Masamitsu Baoke and gave him a very high reputation. The shackles allowed them to stay on the ship of the shogunate, so they were in opposition to the Japanese emperor and the Daimyo, so they were not allowed to disembark.

If you betray the shogunate, your reputation will be ruined.

Therefore, when Yan Changwu left, Bao Kezhengzhi's smile disappeared. The so-called old but not dead is a thief, and the old fox didn't know what he meant by this Chinese "old friend".

However, the old friend is wise, and Bao Kezhengzhi prides himself on his loyalty.

The old friend’s inscription was solemnly placed on the door of Bao Kezhengzhi’s bookstore, was enshrined and kept.

As for Mr. David, Yan Changwu's close comrade-in-arms, he went to visit Tadao Sakai, the elder of the country.

Tadashi Sakai is the master of the generations, the elder of the Edo shogunate, the elder, currently in charge of the government, he knows the sacredness of Mr. David's red hair, and he is welcomed by the door of the home.

This was the first time he saw Hong Maofan, and it was enough to save face.

The Japanese are more conservative than the Chinese. In fact, the Chinese know that flexibility is a closed society, an open mind, good and usable things, and the Chinese will use them. In order to make money, they can put their prejudices aside. For example, Hong Maofan, Baotou Lao, Asan, etc. are not a few who arrived in the city of Rising Sun or even Nanjing, and the officials of the Japanese country generally did not see foreigners, at most they saw Chinese and North Koreans.

When I saw Mr. David and heard him say hello to him in fluent Chinese, Sakai was still quite moved: "China is from all nations, and Hong Maofan is also proficient in Chinese!"

"Please! Please! Please!" He also greeted Mr. David in fluent Chinese, and the two entered side by side and entered the room.

They walked along the "flying stone", which was similar to a Chinese stepping but relatively rounded. Irregular stone slabs were placed in the garden for footsteps. The road in the Japanese garden is mostly composed of flying stones and extensions. The flying stones are used to better show the courtyard space. It is also a path paved with stones when entering the exposed area.

As a veteran in the military, Mr. David habitually looks at the environment, which looks good!

This is Zen!

Tadashi Sakai’s home belongs to a Zen garden unique to Japan, and consists of stone lamps, startled deer, flying stones, gravel, bamboo fences, and moss. Exquisite and meticulous, exquisite gardening intentions, rich in Zen and philosophical meaning, forming an extremely "freehand" artistic style. The trees, sand and stones, sky, land, statues in the courtyard... often contain very deep meaning in a few strokes. From the details, you can read the ingenuity.

The Japanese-style courtyard is inseparable from the etherealness and Qingyuan of Japanese Zen Buddhism. Although it is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, it is unique because of its simplicity and refinement.

Mr. David said: "Such a view, UU reading www.uukanshu.com makes me want to return to the hidden spring and listen to the nature!"

Tadashi Sakai smiled slightly and said: "Marshal Dai is joking, the prince keeps walking, and you can't go back to her."

"That's true!" Mr. David changed the subject: "Before I came here, I heard some rumors from the elders. Today is coming. Seeing this scene, it is expected that it is all gossip, making people laugh!"

"Of course!" Sakai said quickly: "My loyalty to the general is a lesson from heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are clear!"

"That's the best!" Mr. David mentioned the'three benefits', whether it is conducive to the rule of the country, whether it is conducive to enhancing the country's comprehensive national strength, whether it is conducive to improving the living standards of the people, Sakai deeply agrees , Directly called the prince Shengming, and said that he would also follow the three rules to facilitate compliance.

The two entered the tea room, and Sakai ordered tea for Mr. David himself, expressing his feelings: "In any case, I will let the Edo shogunate pass on. Tadasei is a loyal minister of the shogunate. If he violates it, he is willing to be judged by the prince. !"
