.    The emperor's envoy, Nakain Tojun, whose official title is "Odainanagon", waited in Edo Castle for many days.  Finally, Pang Ning was summoned.  He sat in the Imperial Palace under the city all afternoon and saw Pang Ning walking in with a pouty mouth.

    Hearing that Pang Ning had defeated the Tokugawa shogunate, the emperor immediately sent Chu Yuan Tongjun, who had nothing to do with the original Tokugawa family, and ran to the gate of Edo Castle to negotiate with Pang Ning on behalf of the emperor.  Pang Ning had just captured Edo, and all kinds of things were complicated.  If it weren't for the Hojo family's establishment of a puppet shogunate, he really wouldn't want to meet the Emperor of Japan.

    Japan¡¯s social structure is very complex. The shogunates of the past dynasties were established by samurai families, which the Japanese call ¡°samurai families¡±, and managed Japan in a feudal system.  The shogunate is the actual governing body, but above the shogunate, there is also a nominal emperor.  There is a group of people who have followed the emperor for generations and hold some empty official positions within the institutions of the emperor's system. They are separated from secular power and are called "public families."

    The public family is the spiritual symbol of Japan¡¯s national power, and the samurai family is the actual ruler.  The public family occupies the commanding heights in rituals, while the Wu family occupies the economic and military strength.  For nearly a thousand years, the struggle between the emperor and the generals, and between the public and military families has been going on in various fields.  In order to obtain legal status as ruler.  Japan's actual rulers always need to grovel and serve the emperor and the public.

    But when it came to Pang Ning, the Emperor of Japan couldn't show off his airs at all.

    Seeing Pang Ning walk in, the young Zhongyuan Tongjun thought for a while and decided to please the actual ruler of Japan, bowing and performing the courtesy of a public servant to a general of the Wu family.  In his understanding, Pang Ning is not a general now, and he already respects Pang Ning very much.

    But his etiquette was interrupted by Pang Ning.

    "Little Japanese civil servant, kneel down!"

    Pang Ning looked up and down at the dazed Zhongyuan Tongchun, and said loudly, "The King of the South of the Great Nanhai Kingdom is here! Do you, a civil servant, still have to put on airs?"

    Zhongyuan Tongchun, who was used to fighting with samurai on etiquette and law, looked at Pang Ning in surprise and couldn't turn around for a while.

    The only existence value of public servants is to maintain the hierarchy and etiquette. They always abide by the rules that are in line with etiquette and law.  Zhongyuan Tongchun thought for a long time and found that what Pang Ning said was indeed reasonable. Under the surprised eyes of a group of Japanese maids, he knelt down.

    Pang Ning sat on the chair in front of Tongchun in the middle courtyard, smiled, nodded and said, "The Emperor of Japan once surrendered to China, and our Nanhai Kingdom is now China's official model. It was the Emperor who met the Great Nanhai Kingdom.  I, the king, should also kneel down."

    Zhongyuan Tongchun was stunned, shook his head and argued, "China is the Ming Dynasty, not the Nanhai Kingdom."

    "Nonsense! It will be soon!"

    Pang Ning glanced at Zhongyuan Tongchun impatiently and asked impatiently.  "What are you doing here? Now that I have occupied Japan, what does the Emperor have to say?"

    Fang Danayan, who was kneeling on the ground, did not expect that Pang Ning would say such embarrassing words. He thought about it and replied,

    "The original 100,000 koku territory given by the Tokugawa family to the emperor and the prince's family was too little. The prince's family lived a hard life and found it difficult to survive. Now that the Tokugawa shogunate has been destroyed, I don't know if the territory given to the prince's family has been increased."

    Pang Ning looked up and down at the young man on the ground.

    The public must maintain dignity and not have armed forces to compete for territory.  All expenses come from the territory rewarded by the shogunate, which is raised high like a peacock.  After hundreds of years, except for making things difficult for the Wu family and asking for some benefits based on the system and etiquette, what kind of integrity do they have?  Who actually rules Japan, and how much does it have to do with the emperor?  This middle courtyard is pure, just here to beg for food.

    In troubled times, the emperor's influence is too small.

    During the Warring States Period, the emperor and the royal family were unable to maintain basic living expenses because they had no one to support them.  It was not until the end of the Warring States Period that the samurai who actually ruled Japan began to make institutionalized worship out of nominal needs.

    Pang Ning does not have the same sense of awe as the Japanese towards these idlers.  Not prepared to please.

    After thinking about it, Pang Ning nodded and said, "One hundred thousand stones is one hundred thousand stones. You didn't help the Tokugawa shogunate in the Iwami War, and I won't take it from you. But there is no reason to increase it. You have been silent from the beginning to  In the end, it seemed like it had nothing to do with him and he didn¡¯t help me.¡±

    "By the way, I have something to see the emperor. Go back and tell your emperor that you can make me the head of the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan, as the general of the conquering barbarians as soon as possible."

    "Let the emperor hurry up. If you are slow and anger me, and anger the Nanwang of the Great Nanhai Kingdom, the Great Nanhai Kingdom will send people to demolish the palace in Kyoto, just like Nagasaki. We Chinese will not demolish the palace."  You idlers think you are a god. It is said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi built a beautiful palace for you? Well, I am not happy.This is about how the "Hojo family" respected etiquette and law, and how they were loved by Pang Ning, so they established the shogunate in accordance with the power of nature and people's hearts.  But obviously, none of the famous people below listened carefully to this complicated and lengthy official article.  Although the daimyo were kneeling on the ground, they all raised their bodies and looked at the Hojo clan sitting in front of them in surprise.

    Under the incredible gazes of these powerful feudal lords, the Hojo clan was wearing a gorgeous dress, holding a small fan, and sitting nervously on the low platform at the top of the meeting hall.

    Wait for the etiquette officer to finish reading the document and then leave.  A scroll filled with small words was handed over.

    On that scroll, written were the rewards and punishments set by Pang Ning for each Japanese vassal.  Although the ancestors are richer, they are the ancestors after all.  When the Hojo clan was born, the Hojo family had only 10,000 koku of territory left.  Looking at the brocade scroll with the fate of all the daimyo in Japan written on it, the middle-aged general took a deep breath and suppressed his nervousness for a long time.

    Looking at those eager eyes, the Hojo clan said loudly,

    "The establishment of the shogunate was naturally determined by God's will, and was assisted by the wise and powerful forces of King Pang of the Nanhai Kingdom. However, during the establishment process, the various merits and faults of the various vassal towns must also be clearly stated one by one to show fairness."

    "The Kuroda family of the Fukuoka Domain defied H¨­¨­'s army several times in the Battle of Iwami, and all of the 560,000 koku territory they held in Chikuzen Kingdom was confiscated. The Chikuzen Kingdom on Kyushu Island was granted to the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain."

    "Next month, the Nankai Kingdom will send a large army to lead the coalition of Kyushu feudal clans to attack the Fukuoka clan and kill the Kuroda clan in Chikuzen Kingdom."

    The head of the Kuroda family of the Fukuoka Domain was not in the meeting hall. He blocked Pang Ning for a whole day in the Battle of Iwami, which almost affected the development of the battle. The people of the Fukuoka Domain from the South China Sea would not forgive them and stayed in the northern part of Kyushu, ready to fight to the death.

    But in the Battle of Ishimi, the Kuroda family sent a lot of troops, and they were completely wiped out by Pang Ning.  There are now very few troops that can be mobilized in the Kuroda family's territory. If Pang Ning leads the Satsuma clan to attack them again, there will be no way to survive.

    After "General Hojo" finished speaking, everyone took a breath.

    ¡°Obviously, the Hojo family is Pang Ning¡¯s puppet. Although this family is now in dire straits, it is impossible to manage Japan with its own strength.  No need to think about it, the daimyo also knew that all the interests of the Hojo shogunate would eventually be handed over to Pang Ning.  The Hojo shogunate of the Hojo family was ousted by Pang Ning, just as the Hojo shogunate was ousted by the Kamakura shogunate hundreds of years ago.

    But after all, behind the empty frame of the Hojo family is Pang Ning, the powerful navy and army of the Nanhai people.

    Hearing that the Hojo clan confiscated all the territory of the Kuroda family as soon as he opened his mouth, the faces of the daimyo present put away their previous arrogance.  In the somewhat chaotic meeting hall just now, the daimyo who were kneeling on the ground straightened their bodies and braced themselves to listen carefully.

    "The Tachibana family of the Yanagawa domain had a territory of 190,000 koku that built the country, and half of it was originally confiscated. However, the Tachibana family adheres to the kindness of the Tokugawa family and has not yet expressed its surrender to Edo. Therefore, after discussion between the general and Prince Pang,  It was decided to confiscate the entire territory of one hundred nine thousand koku and grant it to the Matsuura family of Hirado Domain."

    "After the crusade against the Kuroda clan, the Nankai Kingdom's army and the shogunate general led the coalition of Kyushu clans to crusade against the Ryugawa clan and kill the Tachibana clan in Chikugo Kingdom."

    "Although the Matsuura family sent troops in the Battle of Iwami, they never entered the battle, so they received this award."

    The Matsuura family in Hirado is very close to Nagasaki. The last time I saw Pang Ning's navy bombing Nagasaki, I was frightened by the tragedy of the ruins.  The Matsuura family had lingering fears, so during the Battle of Iwami, they obeyed Date Masamune's orders and never dared to face the enemy directly against the Nankai Navy.  His family was originally a small vassal with a fortune of 60,000 dan, but he didn't expect to receive such a large seal because of his inactivity and sabotage, which attracted the attention of hundreds of famous families.

    Other big names slowly heard the results of their actions.

    The earlier you defect in the Battle of Iwami, the more titles you will receive.  Naturally, the two families that received the most awards were Shimadzu and Mori.  Although the entire Kyushu Island and the westernmost part of Honshu Island were not obtained as on the original map, in the original agreement, the two families had to obtain those territories by their own force.  But now, Pang Ning promised to use the Southern Navy to help them gain territory, which was completely different.

    The territories of both families were sealed with more than one million stones.  They suddenly became the two largest princes in Japan, surpassing the territory of the two most glorious periods in the Warring States Period.

    Shimazu Tadahashi and Mouri Hide were sitting at the front of the Japanese daimyo. Although they tried hard to maintain the demeanor of a strong feudal daimyo, they still couldn't hide their ecstasy.

    The proud look between the two men made hundreds of famous people in the meeting room envious.  Especially those daimyo who were punished and had their territories reduced, wanted to go back to the battlefield of the Battle of Iwami, and rebel before the war started.
