    The Tokugawa shogunate really intends to directly govern Kyushu, just like opening a large number of ports after retreating.

    But it is one thing to want to do it, another thing to be able to do it, and another thing to do it.

    The first step is naturally to cut down the feudal clan, such as Tangjin Fan and other small feudal lords were eliminated.  The Satsuma domain was the main force of the rebellion against the shogunate, and a large number of Shimadzu men died in battle, and they were also facing the danger of being cut off.

    The Shimadzu family is lobbying everywhere, and even invited the Netherlands to help, spending money like crazy to keep the territory.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu finally gave up directly governing Kyushu. In addition to too much local resistance, another reason is that the "Kan Yong Great Famine" has begun.

    Amakusa Shiro's rebellion was able to attract a large number of farmers precisely because of the famine in Japan.

    And just this year, a bigger famine broke out, and it will last for several years. This is Japan's Kan'aga famine.  Facing the famine, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had always advocated dictatorship, could only be forced to loosen his control over the local area, and the Karatsu domain, which was brought under the direct control of the shogunate, was also re-partitioned.

    In the Little Ice Age, no one will get better.

    There was famine in Ming Dynasty, famine in Europe, and famine in Japan.

    The Tokugawa shogunate has even decided to issue a decree in the first month of next year: prohibiting the sale of land across the country and prohibiting the separation of farmers with less than ten people, so as to protect farmers and agricultural production.

    ? On the first month of the new year, before the Spring Festival, Lin Luoshan led a delegation to visit China.

    Lin Luoshan is Japan's "Emperor Teacher", who has educated two shoguns in succession, and is already educating the third and fourth generations.

    Throughout the Edo period, the ideological system constructed by Lin Luoshan was the main idea of ??Japanese society, and it was not abandoned until the Meiji Restoration.

    This person is a crazy supporter of Zhu Xi, while criticizing Lu Wang's Xinxue, while absorbing Xinxue's thoughts.  He fused psychology with Neo-Confucianism, and Neo-Confucianism with Shinto, redefining Japanese Shintoism.  He also advocated the rejection of Buddhism and the expulsion of Christianity, making Shintoism the official religion of Japan.

    This time the Tokugawa shogunate set up government schools, and the whole set of plans came from Lin Luoshan!

    According to the tradition, the envoy of the mission sent by Japan to China must be a monk.  But Lin Luoshan hated monks very much. Not only were most of the members of the envoys Confucianists, but also no monks were brought along.

    ?From Edo to Nagasaki, and from Nagasaki to Ryukyu by boat, Lin Luoshan came to Fuzhou.

    Looking at the huge city of Fuzhou and witnessing the bustling port, Lin Luoshan not only sighed: "This is really the kingdom of heaven!"

    After resting in Fuzhou for three days, Lin Luoshan took a boat to Ningbo again.  On the way, when he met the Fuzhou Navy patrolling, Lin Luoshan said: "The giant ship is not inferior to the Nanman, and it must not be defeated."

    After going all the way to Shanghai, local officials finally received them and sent them to Nanjing by boat.

    When Lin Luoshan disembarked in Nanjing, he was numb by the shock along the way.  He was arranged to go to the foreign ambassador's hotel. After staying in the hotel, he was in a difficult mood, and asked the guard around him: "What did you see?"

    The bodyguard is called Yagyu Jubingwei, and his father, Yagyu Zongmo, is the intelligence chief of the shogunate.

    Yagyu Juhei was only thirteen years old, and he had already become Tokugawa Iemitsu's attendant.  After becoming an adult, he was sent to various places to monitor and inquire about the words and deeds of the local daimyo, and belonged to Tokugawa Iemitsu's absolute confidant.

    "Sir, I saw prosperity." Yagyu Juhei replied.

    Lin Luoshan said with a smile: "China is so prosperous because of Confucianism governing the country. As long as Japan also governs the country with Confucianism, supplemented by Shinto, sooner or later it will be similar to China."

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei said: "Mr. High opinion."

    Both of them knew in their hearts that although Lin Luoshan was the chief envoy of the envoy, Yagyu Jubei represented General Tokugawa.

    Lin Luoshan's words were not only for Yagyu Juhei, but also for Tokugawa Iemitsu.

    Lin Luoshan pushed open the window and looked at the big tree in the courtyard: "If Japan wants to be rich, it must not only govern the country with Confucianism, but also have good relations with China. Trade with China, learn Chinese skills, and learn everything about China. This is also Ieyasu.  public will!"

    Yagyu Juhei nodded: "It is true that we should do business with China."

    In the second year after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to restore diplomatic relations with China.  In order to show goodwill, Mao Guoke, the captured general of the Ming Dynasty, was also sent to escort the captured Ming Dynasty all the way to Fujian to return it.

    The Ming court also responded by sending two merchant ships to Japan, hoping to contact them in an unofficial manner first.

    As a result, the two Chinese merchant ships were robbed by Japanese pirates.

    Although Tokugawa Ieyasu captured the pirates and executed the pirate leader, the communication channels between the two countries were cut off.

    In desperation, Tokugawa Ieyasu conveyed his goodwill through North Korea, and North KoreaHe glanced at everyone: "Who is Yagyu Jubei?"

    Lin Luoshan could understand Chinese, and said quickly: "The emperor calls you!"

    Liusheng Shibingwei, who had just sat down, left his seat again, ran forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "Liusheng Shibingwei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han was a little disappointed. The famous Yagyu Jubingwei didn't have the mighty image in the game at all.  Although the body is still strong, but the stature is too short, kneeling there like a half-grown child.

    Zhao Han said: "You are the chief guard of the Japanese mission, and you want to be proficient in martial arts. Where are the weapons?"

    Lin Luoshan quickly translated.

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei replied: "When I had an audience with His Majesty, I was taken away by the female officer and the guards."

    Zhao Han was full of viciousness: "Let's bring his weapon. I heard that Japanese swordsmanship is quite unique. I'm here to learn a few moves from my guards."

    Lin Luoshan quickly warned: "You have to go all out, you can't fall into the prestige of the shogunate, but you can't kill the guards of the Chinese emperor."

    Then how to fight?

    Yagyu Juhei was suddenly at a loss.
