    Chapter 393: Troubled Times on Japanese Island

    The battleships of the Ming Dynasty are by far the largest and most gigantic means of transportation in the world. They are not one of them, but the only one.

    At this moment, Yuan Bin was standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the land that was gradually separated from the blue water, listening to the cheerful laughter of the soldiers of the Ming Navy, and the officers.  We heard the sound of their orders and watched the seagulls flying across the sky and making crisp calls.

    The big sail was blown by the strong sea breeze, forming a beautiful arc, and the bright bright flag of the Ming Dynasty was fluttering on the tall mast.  The soldiers who were training also stopped their uniform movements under the orders of their commanders, and leaned comfortably against the gun window, or stood on the deck, admiring the approaching green.  .

    "Sir, you should go back and rest for a while. Although we have seen land, according to the wind, it will probably take almost half an hour to reach the shore." The captain walked to Yuan Bin and bowed respectfully.  Then he said.

    "It's okay, I've been sitting in that warehouse for the past few days, and I'm a little panicked. The sea breeze makes me feel much refreshed. Haha" Yuan Bin waved his hand and refused.  These days, he almost stayed in his room without leaving home, studying the information sent to him by Zhu Qi's people.

    That was a piece of information as thick as a foot, and Yuan Bin, just in the past few days, swallowed it hard and finally got a rough idea of ??the information. At least, he had a better understanding of it.

    When he thought of the description of that country in the intelligence, Yuan Bin felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy. Although, he still didn't understand why Zhu Qizhen was so hasty that he didn't even return to the capital.  Rush over at this time.

    However, the cautious and serious tone of Zhu Qizhen's secret message to him made Yuan Bin clear about the high hopes the emperor had for him.  That island country, like the Korean Kingdom, has always been submissive to our Ming Dynasty. Perhaps, as the emperor said, the Korean Kingdom is also full of strong ambitions and possessive desire for the prosperous and fertile China.

    "There are no eternal interests between countries. When you are no longer strong, your former allies will become enemies who drink your blood and eat your flesh." Yuan Bin repeated in a low voice in his mouth  This sentence is something Zhu Qizhen often mentions.

    As for the meaning of this sentence, after experiencing the ebb and flow of the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, experiencing the Korean War, and combined with past history, Yuan Bin is convinced of it.

    "No matter what, I will complete the mission entrusted to me by His Majesty, so that the island country will be divided forever and there will be no time for him to take care of it." Yuan Bin clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

    At this moment, the Japanese country, which had been renamed Japan in the historical time and space before Zhu Qi Town traveled through it, was in the post-Southern Dynasties period

    ¡ª¡ª

    After Emperor Go-Daigo eliminated the Kamakura shogunate, he carried out the first restoration of royal government and implemented a New Deal, which was known as the Kenbu New Deal in history.  Because the new policy failed to meet the demands of the samurai and only re-employed ministers and nobles from Kyoto, the samurai were dissatisfied.  Among them, Ashikaga Takauji, the fallen general, was even more dissatisfied. Although he was given the word "Tsun" in the emperor's name, he wanted to open a palace. As a result, Ashikaga Takauji forced Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate.  The new emperor, Emperor Kogen, made him the general of the conquest of barbarians.  It is for the Northern Dynasties.

    After Emperor Daigo abdicated, he retreated to Yoshino in Yamato with the three sacred artifacts that symbolized the emperor. This was the Southern Dynasty. At this point, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were finally formed. History books also call it "Two Emperors in One Day, Nanjing"

    This civil strife in the Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted for more than sixty years until it was almost over. It can probably be said to be the largest civil strife in the history of Japan.  This civil strife cannot be said to be simply sheer in scale, as shown by the use of three different era names for the same period in this era, from the fact that three different regimes or countries emerged within the Japanese archipelago.  If you look at it, you can see the depth of this civil strife.

    First, the Nitta Yosada Army went east from Kyoto in order to pursue Ashikaga Takauji and Naoyoshi in Kanto. They were defeated by the Ashikaga Army at Hakone Takeshita. The Ashikaga Army pursued the defeated Nitta Army and marched to Kyoto.  Later, Kitahata Kenie was ordered by Emperor Go-Daigo to provide reinforcements and set out from the northeast to pursue the Ashikaga Army.  Regarding the number of these soldiers and horses, "Taipei Chronicles" and other records stated that each team had tens of thousands. Although this is somewhat exaggerated, this is a significantly larger scale compared to the Genpei Conflict Era.  Army.

    With Yoshitaka being defeated, Ashikaga Takauji and Naoyoshi chasing after him, and Akiko trailing behind, it is a scene of a rolling march along the Tokaido with Kyoto as the goal.  Moreover, Ashikaga Takauji, who entered Kyoto, fled to Kyushu by boat from Hyogo after his defeat, regrouped in Kyushu, and launched another large-scale attack on Kyoto. Because of this,As a result, the Jianwu government collapsed, and the Xianjia troops returned from the northeast and then moved westward.  In any case, examples of such large-scale troop movements are extremely rare in the history of Japan.

    The civil strife in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan was of course not only a struggle between the Southern and Northern Dynasties.  The essence is a struggle for power between the samurai family represented by the shogunate and the public family represented by the emperor.

    After many attacks and defenses, the power of the Southern Dynasties declined.  In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, the third-generation general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu forced him to surrender to the Southern Dynasty. Emperor Kameyama handed over the three artifacts (the eight-foot mirror passed down by Amaterasu, the Qiongquyu, and the Tianye Cloud Sword) to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty.  Ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties era.

    After the reunification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Goguiyama lived in Daikakuji Temple, which was called "Daikakuji Temple" or "South Lord" at the time, and enjoyed preferential treatment from the Muromachi Shogunate.  On February 4, the fifth year of Meitoku's reign, he met Ashikaga Yoshimitsu for the first time at Tenryuji Temple. On the 23rd of the same month, he accepted the titles of "Emperor Futogi" and "Emperor Taijo".  Prior to this, Emperor Komei of the Northern Dynasty had given the title of "Emperor Taijo" to Emperor Go-Daigo of the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, this was just a bitter trick by the shogunate to allow both the former Northern Dynasty and the original Southern Dynasty to maintain their dignity.

    On November 27th of the fourth year of Onei, Gogeyama resigned from his title and military service, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not raise any objection.  After that, Hou Guishan became a monk, taking the Buddhist name Vajra Heart, and lived a secluded life.  He was only served by close ministers such as Ano Minoru, Kouwei and his son, and Rokujo Tokihiro. Yoshida Kanehiro, Kane Atsushi and his son were beside him to teach Shinto.

    In the seventeenth year of Yingei, that is, November 27th, the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, because the Muromachi shogunate violated the Meitoku peace treaty, the two lines were established one after another (the Daikakuji line of the Southern Dynasty and the Jimeiin line of the Northern Dynasty alternately succeeded to the throne)  According to the conditions, Prince Konohito, the son of Emperor Komatsu, is to be established as the crown prince.

    Emperor Go-Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty gave up the orthodox throne to Emperor Go-Komatsu of the Northern Dynasty. Emperor Go-Daigo Yoshino finally returned to Kyoto after half a century since his stealth.  However, Kyoto (the shogunate) treated Emperor Kameyama and other people from the original Southern Dynasty clan very coldly. They only valued the "Northern Dynasty clan" and treated the Northern Dynasty clan favorably.  Ashikaga Yoshimitsu completely forgot about the Meitoku Peace Treaty.

    Moreover, Kyoto is also the base camp of the shogunate. The shogunate's surveillance is very tight, and people from the Southern Dynasties such as Emperor Go Kameyama cannot move freely.  At the end of the eighth year of Yongle, Emperor Goguishan fled to Yoshino again. This was the beginning of the "Later Southern Dynasty".
