From this unfulfilled mission, Zhu Zian can easily find that the purpose of Haihan's mission to Japan is not only to seek cooperation, but also to create some internal troubles for Japan if a suitable opportunity is found, which is also one of the missions of the mission .
Although the method used in Japan is different, the principle is actually similar to what Hai Han did in North Korea. It is also necessary to support a force in the country that can oppose the power in order to weaken its national power.
Compared with military strikes or trade sanctions, it is obviously more clever and more effective in the long run to provoke internal strife and artificially create a political state of division and confrontation.It's just that Zhu Zian's illness came suddenly, which directly affected the mission's planned plan, and had to give up the plan temporarily.
Zhu Zi'an said with regret on his face: "This illness really didn't come at the right time, it delayed the big event! I missed the opportunity this time, I don't know if there will be another chance in the future."
Shi Chengwu is very open-minded: "It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, we will find another opportunity to figure it out slowly. Besides, the people we can contact are not only the royal family, there are many people who want to be the shogun very!"
The shogunate regime that empties the royal family seems to control the overall situation of the country, but the area it actually controls is only about a quarter of the country, and most of the remaining areas are ruled by daimyo from various local vassal states. There is no shortage of ambitious people, as long as they have enough strength, they can replace the Tokugawa shogunate in power.
Of course, it would be difficult to confront the Tokugawa shogunate that is already in power if only relying on the strength accumulated by these vassal daimyos themselves, but if they can get help from the outside, especially the support from the military power Haihan, then the situation may change. will be different.
What Shi Chengwu said made Zhu Zi'an think of the situation of Daming in the past few years.Haihan also adopted similar methods at the beginning, buying officials in various places along the coast of Daming to support local forces, especially in the area south of the Yangtze River.This also made the few areas in Daming that were not affected by natural disasters and man-made disasters fall into Haihan's control early on.
Although Zhu Zian is in Shandong, he has heard a lot of news about this through various channels.It’s just that most of the information I learned before came from hearsay, but now I can finally see with my own eyes how Haihan uses such means to split other countries, and I can finally see the whole picture of the matter.
Zhu Zian couldn't help thinking that Haihan's plan for Japan should not be the first initiative of the mission, perhaps it had already been carried out in secret.Thousands of Haihan troops are stationed at the Sasebo base all year round, and I'm afraid it's not just for guarding the area at the western end of Japan.Zhu Zian vaguely remembered seeing some people in Japanese samurai costumes in the Sasebo base, maybe they were special personnel who received secret training there.
Similar practices are not uncommon in the Haihan Army. When the mission stayed at the Dinghai Port Naval Base in Zhoushan before departure, Zhu Zian had met military students from North Korea and Annan there.If you want to secretly train military personnel for some Japanese daimyo, it should not be difficult to think about it.
However, Zhu Zian knew that this kind of matter involved military secrets, and if he took the initiative to inquire about it, it would be a bit taboo, so after listening to Shi Chengwu's narration, he did not continue to ask.
In the original schedule of the mission, on the way there was also a visit to the Owari Domain in Ise Bay, which is the largest coastal plain area between Osaka and Edo, and its seat is the famous Nagoya Castle in later generations. Has a superior shipping conditions.The Owari Domain is ruled by a branch of the Tokugawa family, known as the Owari Tokugawa family, one of the three royal families.In the trade treaty signed between Haihan and Japan, Nagoya is also one of the places where Haihan is open to business and trade.
However, because the mission spent too much time on the previous itinerary, the expected visit to Edo was already a few days late, so the mission decided to skip Nagoya for the time being and go directly to Edo, and make arrangements according to the situation on the return trip visit.
When the fleet sailed through the Izu Peninsula, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky. Counting the days, it was the day of the winter solstice.Shi Chengwu issued an order to make all ships in the fleet prepare warm clothes and quilts, ginger soup and hot food, so as to avoid diseases caused by the cold weather as much as possible.
On the Zhoushan, under the leadership of Shi Chengwu, the officials of the mission came to the deck to sweep the ice and snow together, so as to set an example for the officers and soldiers on board.
Zhu Zian was born in the north, so he is no stranger to heavy snow days, but he rarely shovels the snow himself.However, seeing that other people were working very enthusiastically, they did not dare to be lazy at the moment. They followed the example honestly and took a shovel to shovel the piles of snow on the deck into the sea.But because of the raw hands, the movements seem a little clumsy.
At this time, Zhu Zian's clothes were all changed into the winter clothes issued by the officers of the Haihan Army, and a cotton cap with ear protectors on his head covered his hair tightly. No one would have thought that this man was actually genuine Ming nobles.
However, Tao Hongfang and others grew up in the south since they were young. In the past, their knowledge of snow was only in written words and verbal descriptions from their elders. This is the first time they have really seen heavy snow, so they are quite excited.
The only person who is worried is probably Wang Anguo. If it wasn't for the delays along the way, the fleet he led should have embarked on the return journey to North America more than ten days ago. At this time, it has already left Japan thousands of miles away. Just avoid this heavy snow.But at this time, he had to worry about how long the snow would last, how large the coverage area would be, and how much trouble it would bring to the immigrant fleet he was leading.
You must know that these immigrants are not as well-trained as the army. Among them, there are old and young, and there are different reasons for their willingness to immigrate to the other side of the ocean. It may even become a burden that drags down the itinerary.
Therefore, Wang Anguo was also very careful when arranging the itinerary of the immigrants, trying not to make the immigrants too tired.During the fleet's visit to North Korea, the immigrants were arranged to live temporarily in Seogwipo Port on Jeju Island, and later transferred to the Sasebo base.While the mission was running around, the immigrants lived a relatively stable life.
The reason why immigrants are given such good treatment is also to hope that before the start of the long transoceanic voyage, the immigrants can be adjusted physically and psychologically to the best state, so as to reduce various situations that may occur on the way.
And Edo is the last supply point. After leaving here, even if the journey goes smoothly, it will take 30 days to arrive at the next supply point, Honolulu Island.
