Chapter 807: The First Unequal Treaty of the Ming Dynasty
This behavior made all the Japanese monarchs and ministers present very uncomfortable, and in their minds, it was very rude to face others with the crotch.
The shogunate elder Abe Tadaaki was dissatisfied: "His Royal Highness King Ding, you have a saying in China called following the customs of the country, you are the prince of a big country, don't you have this bit of open-mindedness?" ”
These words changed the atmosphere in the hall.
Sakai Tadatsu, the elder of the shogunate, was stunned, but he didn't expect Abe Tadaaki, who was usually honest, to have such enthusiasm and courage.
At the same time, he secretly scolded Abe Tadaaki in his heart for being a fool, why should he offend the envoy of the Ming Kingdom at this time? Isn't it asking for trouble?
The ten-year-old Tokugawa Ietsuna's eyes fell on Abe Tadaaki, and he already admired him in his heart, such an upright person is worthy of being his own teacher and the backbone of Japan!
Emperor Shaoren had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but surprisingly agreed with this sentence, which showed the spirit of the country.
He gave this shogunate official a very high evaluation in his heart: "Among the shogunate ministers, the style of a politician is unique to Zhongqiu!" ”
Zhu Cijiong chuckled lightly, and said unhurriedly: "On this earth, the lonely kneeling in the sky, kneeling on the ground, kneeling the father and queen mother, kneeling the eldest brother Tianwu Emperor, the rest of the people never kneel, and they are not worthy of bending their knees alone!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Ding, this is my Japanese custom, and I don't want you to kneel anyone." Tadashi Sakai explained.
Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said: "Lone does not have the habit of kneeling, you regard kneeling as a courtesy, but Lone does not agree, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and it is completely inconsistent with the customs of the country, Lone sits like this, and if you don't accept it, you will endure it!" ”
Zhu Cijiong's words showed his incomparable strength, love is dripping, I sit like this, what can you do!
In this world, apart from the eldest brother Emperor Tianwu who can call him, who else dares to ask him to act according to the rules?
Pretending to be so forced on other people's territory will naturally not be liked by others, and at that moment an official of the shogunate jumped out and shouted: "The envoy is too much!" ”
Zhu Cijiong smiled, flicked the non-existent dust on the dragon robe, and said: "You must know that you proposed the peace negotiation first, and now I feel that you lack the sincerity of the peace talks!" ”
Sakai Tadakatsu hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstand! We are absolutely sincere, absolutely sincere! We, the shogunate, want to achieve a ceasefire and restore peace! ”
He is also very helpless, this guy is too strong!
The main thing is that he can't do anything about him, in case he forces this guy to leave the game angrily, it will be more than worth the loss.
I heard that his brother Emperor Tianwu is stronger, God knows what bad things this guy will say when he runs back to Daming, and what disasters will he bring to Japan.
Tadashi Sakai took a deep breath, avoided talking about the sitting position, and began to get down to business, negotiating on behalf of Japan.
"His Royal Highness King Ding, let's get straight to the point, Japan is a peace-loving country, in order to avoid the soldiers of the two countries from continuing to shed blood, Japan hopes that your country will stop the war."
After listening to the scene, Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "So, what about your conditions?" ”
Sakai Tadakatsu glanced at several elders of the shogunate, then at the emperor, and was silent.
Abe Tadaaki secretly scolded Sakai Tadashi in his heart for being cunning, and at the critical moment, this old thing was silent, he wanted to shirk the historical responsibility of signing the treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country!
In fact, the shogunate had already discussed the conditions, and the core of this negotiation was only one: let the Ming army withdraw and return the Mikawa region where the Tokugawa family arose such as Edo!
After some arguments and bargaining, the two sides finally reached a peace agreement.
The full text of the Chinese version is: His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Empire and His Majesty the Emperor of Japan wanted to use the recent discord to explain and stop the provocation, and for this purpose they agreed to establish a permanent peace treaty, so that the two countries and their subjects could restore peace and share happiness!
It is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who sent the Prince Zhu Cijiong, the Emperor of Japan appointed the general of Zhengyi, the shogunate elder Sakai Tadakatsu, and the old middle Abe Tadaaki, and the generals of the same government to act cheaply, and the orders given by the emperor to read each other, all of which are good, even if they discuss the articles:
The first paragraph, this war, all because of the Japanese Satsuma Domain's wanton invasion of the Ryukyus, today the country compensated the Ming military expenses of 3 million taels, and the Iwami silver mine forever to the Ming Dynasty management and development.
The indemnity shall be paid in instalments for a period of five years, and the unpaid amount shall be paid at the rate of 5 per 100 per annum.
In the second paragraph, the national border was redefined, and Japan ceded all the islands and affiliated islands of Kyushu and Shikoku to the Ming Dynasty.
Paragraph 3: From now on, the Emperor of Japan shall allow the Chinese to bring their families and relatives to live in the four ports along the coast of Japan, such as Kajiki, Kobe, Osaka, and Shizuoka, and trade will be unhindered;
The Ming Dynasty could send consuls, stewards and other officials to live in the four cities and towns, take charge of business matters, and exchange official documents with the local officials.
Fourth, Japan severed all relations with the Manchus, including trade.
Paragraph 5 The withdrawal of the Ming army from Edo Castle, including all Ming troops stationed in Japan, shall be withdrawn in its entirety and shall not be occupied within three months after the ratification of the exchange in this treaty.
Article 6 In order to ensure that the Ming Dynasty conscientiously implements the provisions of the treaty, the Japanese state allows the Ming army to temporarily occupy and defend the coast of Edo Bay and Yokosuka.
Article 7 Thereafter, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of Japan shall remain in peace forever, and the Chinese and Japanese people under their jurisdiction shall be friendly with each other, and those who live in other countries shall be blessed by that country and their families shall be safe and inviolable.
The above articles are related to the discussion and offer, and after the ministers and other ministers respectively play the Ming Emperor and the Emperor of Japan with Zhu and personally approve, they will quickly intersect, so that the two countries can hold a book, so as to show their trust;
On August 23 of the seventh year of the Great Ming Takeshi, that is, the third year of Kean, Japan.
The name of this peace treaty was the "Treaty of Osaka", which was the first formal peace treaty signed by China in history, and set a precedent and formulated a blueprint for the various unequal treaties signed between the Ming Dynasty and the countries of Europa in the future.
However, it was this great contract that was unknown in history, because only a few years later, Japan was completely included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and became Dongying Province.
In order to safeguard the national sentiment that blood is thicker than water, textbooks try to avoid mentioning this incident......
After signing the treaty, Zhu Cijiong rested for two days, and then prepared to leave for China to resume his purpose.
However, the Japanese Emperor Shaoren took the initiative to pay a visit.
After a few polite words, Shaoren went straight to the point: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, can you teach me some experience in the Tianwu New Deal of the Celestial Empire?" ”
Shaoren has always wanted to learn from the new policies of the Ming Dynasty, reform Japan, and strengthen his own strength.
Now that I have seen the strong strength of Daming with my own eyes, I am even more determined to reform in my heart.
Zhu Cijiong was surprised, the experience of Tianwu's new deal? It's not Lao Tzu's execution, where does the experience come from?
He said bluntly: "I'm sorry, Lone is just a vassal king, he has no fiefdom, and he has no experience in managing and governing the country, the new policy of Tianwu is personally implemented by His Majesty the eldest brother, the emperor, and it has taken many years to achieve results, and Lone really can't pass on any experience to you." ”
Shao Ren showed a look of disappointment, but he still did not give up, his eyes flashed with determination, and continued: "Then can you ask His Royal Highness to act as the Emperor of Tianwu, I want to go to the Ming Dynasty in person, meet the Emperor, and learn the way to strengthen the country." ”
Shao Ren took a deep breath and his eyes stayed on Zhu Cijiong's body, looking forward to Zhu Cijiong's next words.
Zhu Cijiong pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Your Excellency has a strong heart, and King Gu admires it very much, but I just hope that Your Excellency can do things in a down-to-earth manner, solve your own troubles with peace of mind, and don't daydream too ambitiously!" ”
Hearing this, Shao Ren's brows furrowed, he couldn't figure out the meaning of Zhu Cijiong's words, because this guy first praised himself, and then instantly became a warning, which made him a little confused.
Zhu Cijiong shook his head helplessly, and secretly said that this guy's IQ is like this, there is no help!
He had no foreknowledge of what major changes Japan would face next after the Ming army retreated, and what would be the situation he would face as emperor......
If you can't even guarantee your own safety, how can you talk about great innovation, enriching the country and strengthening the army?
On the second day, Zhu Cijiong left Japan with the treaty, and by the way, he took a few Japanese beauties presented by the emperor and happily set off to return to the Ming Dynasty.
