Chapter 2725
Zhu Zian has been a little sad in recent days.When the mission departed from Nagasaki Port, he was fine, but he suddenly felt unwell that night.At first, he thought it was the wind and waves that made him seasick, but soon he developed symptoms of chills, fever, and sore limbs.
After Shi Chengwu learned about it, he arranged for the accompanying doctors to diagnose and treat him.The doctor thought that Zhu Zian's condition was "severe aversion to cold and mild fever, combined with body pain, wheezing without sweating, floating and tight pulse", which should be a symptom of wind and cold, which is more common after winter disease.
In mild terms, this is a cold, but in severe cases, it may be typhoid fever.The doctor didn't dare to be careless, and immediately prescribed medicine, asking Zhu Zi'an not to go out of the cabin for activities until he recovered from his illness, and the daily food, drinking water, and medicines were all taken care of by special personnel.This is actually because he is worried that Zhu Zian's condition will be contagious, so he is temporarily isolated for treatment.
Zhu Zian originally lived in a four-person cabin, but now it has become a single cabin.Every morning and night, someone would come to the cabin to feed him and clean up the garbage.
The doctor's diagnosis was not a big problem, but the types of medicinal materials carried on the ship were limited, and there were two kinds of medicines that were not available, so they had to be replaced by other medicinal materials, so the effect was a little bit worse.After taking the medicine for two days, Zhu Zian's condition didn't improve obviously, but he became weaker due to the persistent fever for a long time.
During this period, the fleet has been marching towards Osaka, with wind and waves bumping all the way, and the ship is really not a place for recuperation.After Zhu Zian took two big bowls of medicine every morning and evening, he couldn't eat at all, and he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed and walk around.But of course it is impossible for the fleet to send a special ship to send Zhu Zi'an back to Nagasaki or Sasebo on the way. Life and death are at stake, and he can only rely on himself to stand up.
Although Zhu Zian was seriously ill, he didn't complain. After all, he was the one who took on the overseas errand, and now the Haihan mission didn't leave him alone. If he showed weakness, it would make people laugh .So even though it was very uncomfortable, he still endured it abruptly.
Fortunately, Zhu Zian's health was not bad. When the fleet arrived in Osaka a few days later, he had recovered a little and could start to get out of bed slowly.However, if he wants to go out with the mission to perform official duties, his physical condition is obviously not up to standard, so he can only continue to rest.
In order for Zhu Zian to recover as soon as possible, the mission asked a local Haihan businessman to temporarily rent a residence near the pier where the fleet was moored, and arranged for him to live in it, so that at least he could sleep more peacefully.
Regarding the situation of the new destination of Osaka, Zhu Zian was unable to attend several preparatory meetings on the way due to illness, so he knew little about it.But he can roughly predict that the Haihan Mission will not stay here for too long, because this is not a trading port in the traditional sense, and the scale of business that Haihan operates here is also very limited.
The reason why I visited here is mostly because of the development prospects of this place. After all, Kyoto, the traditional political center of Japan, is nearby, and the population size of this area is very considerable, so it is a sales market with great potential.However, the mission has just signed a cooperation agreement with the Nagasaki authorities, which also has some exclusive terms, so it will definitely not seek cooperation in the same way in Osaka right now.
Sure enough, the situation was as he expected. The mission only stayed in Osaka for three days before setting off again.At this time, after a short rest, Zhu Zian's physical condition has improved significantly, and he was finally released from isolation and can return to the team to continue working.
At this time, Zhu Zi'an realized that the mission originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of visiting Osaka and secretly arrange for him to go to Kyoto to visit Japanese royal figures in his own name.Unexpectedly, Zhu Zian suddenly fell ill on the way, and the previously arranged meeting channel also had problems. In addition, it would take several days to go back and forth from Osaka to Kyoto, so the mission canceled the original plan after weighing the pros and cons.
While Zhu Zian was shocked, he couldn't help shouting in his heart that it's a pity that the mission intends to let him complete this matter in his own name, obviously to take advantage of his status as a child of the Ming royal family.If you can meet the leader of another country in this capacity, even if the other party is just a member of the royal family who is said to have been ostracized by powerful ministers, it will be considered a worthwhile trip.
As for why the mission had such a plan, Zhu Zian was not surprised. He knew that the main reason why he was recruited was that Haihan wanted to make full use of his special status to exert influence on other countries.Although after going to a foreign country, this status may not be easy to use, but a tool person must have the consciousness of a tool person. If it does not have a certain effect, then I am afraid that I may not even get a job as a missionary.
However, there was still one thing that made Zhu Zian a little curious, how did the mission get in touch with the Japanese imperial family and persuade them to meet with him.
"It's very simple. Some of the Haihan merchants who came to Osaka to do business came here with a mission." Shi Chengwu revealed the secret to him frankly: "First get some good things to pay tribute to the royal family, and establish a After the relationship, the remaining things are simple. Although the royal family has been suspended for a long time, if they have the opportunity to use external forces to turn around, they will definitely want to try it, at least talk about the conditions and confirm the feasibility. "
It is not a recent event that the Japanese imperial family was taken over by the shogun, in fact it happened as early as the end of the twelfth century.Before the Tokugawa family currently in power came to power, Japan had gone through two periods, the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, for a total of more than [-] years.Although the royal family also turned around briefly during the period, they were ultimately no match for the warlords who held military power.
By the time Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Edo Shogunate more than 50 years ago, this special power system was already very complete.The royal family has neither military power nor financial power, so it has no way to fight against the shogunate, and can only become a puppet tool for the shogunate to rule the country.
Regardless of whether the royal family is willing to be held in the background like this, Haihan will try to contact it to see if it can provoke it to oppose the shogunate.As for the purpose, it is naturally to use the appeal of the royal family to support pro-Haihan forces in Japan.In this way, when contacting the shogunate in the future, Hai Han can also have one more card that he can play.
In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Zhu Zian is obviously a pretty good candidate. He is a son of the Ming royal family and is now cooperating with Haihan. This is enough to prove to the Japanese royal family that Haihan has the strength to support them.Although the plan was eventually shelved for some reason, Zhu Zian still had to admire the planning ability of these people.If this happens, I am afraid that Japan will fall into a state of power division just like North Korea in the next few years.
