In the Seto Inland Sea outside the port of Hyogo-no-tsu, several small boats slowly headed towards the port of Hyogo under the watchful eyes of many Ming warships.

On one of the ships, Shimazu Tadamasa stood on the deck, looking at the battleships of the Ming Dynasty on the sea, compared with the battleships of the Ming Dynasty, the ships he was riding on seemed very small, just like children and adults.

"The shogunate still gave in, and I knew that they would definitely choose peace talks after the defeat of Hyogo-no-Tsu, and I originally wanted everyone to send troops to fight against the Ming army, who would be so stupid?"

Shimazu Tadamasa looked at the port in front of him, he could already see the flags of several daimyos, the daimyo on Kyushu Island, the daimyo of Shikoku, and the ships of the wealthy families were quietly moored in the harbor.

The Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, the Shogun, and the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to the daimyo of the entire Wa Kingdom, demanding that all the daimyo from all over the country must come in person to participate in the peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and that any daimyo who did not come to the peace talks would be regarded as disrespectful to the Emperor and the Shogunate.

Of course, this is not the most important, the emperor and the shogunate, who will bird them now, is really afraid of the Ming Dynasty, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The army of Yang Yun here in Zhou Fang and Iwami, the army of Wang Shouren in the Kanto region, and the army of Zhang Mao in the Kyoto region, no matter how much the daimyo dares to disobey orders, the army can be killed immediately.

The fate of the three wealthy families of the Otomo family, the Ouchi family, and the Uesugi family, every daimyo in the entire Wa country can see it clearly, so everyone is very knowledgeable, and the governors of each wealthy family come over in person.

As the ships gradually entered the port of Hyogo-no-Tsu, Shimazu Tadamasa saw more and more flags of the daimyo family.

The Ito and Kikuchi families in Kyushu, the Kono, Tosa, and Imagawa families on the island of Shikoku, the Niko and Mori families in the Chugoku region, Akamatsu and Asakura in the Kyoto region, Matsudaira, Hojo, Miyoshi, and Murakami in the Kanto region, etc.

"It's really lively enough, all the daimyo of the entire Wa Kingdom are here."

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time since so many daimyo have gathered."

Shimazu Tadamasa couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, Shimazu Tadamasa got off the boat and walked to the place of peace talks under the leadership of a group of Ming soldiers.

Because almost the entire Hyogo Nozu was razed to the ground by artillery, there was no decent building to be found, so Liu Jin simply found a vacant land, temporarily asked people to harden it with cement, and trimmed out a square, and the place for peace talks was placed here.

At this time, the huge square was very lively, and the daimyo from all over the country were chatting and laughing with each other, and the flags of their families were planted in the places where the daimyo sit.

The layout of the whole square is a north-south layout, and there is a huge open space in the north, Zhang Mao, Liu Jin, as well as Wang Shouren, who came from the Kanto region urgently, and Yang Yun, who came from the Chinese region, were all present, sitting on chairs, smiling at each other, talking and laughing.

"Tsk, isn't it claimed that there are sixty-six countries in the Wa Kingdom, and there are only less than half of them?"

Zhang Mao carefully counted the flags on the south square, and said to Liu Jin beside him with a smile.

"Let's just say this, there are many small countries that are not as good as a county in our Daming, and if it is a country, it is actually just Yelang arrogant."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"Also, they're almost here, do you think they can agree to our terms?"

Zhang Mao nodded, then looked at the treaty drawn up by Liu Jin on the table and said.

"If you agree, if you don't agree, we will continue to fight until they agree."

Liu Jin said very confidently.

"Liu Jin, let's not talk about other treaties, this will make the Wa State compensate 20 million taels of silver, will this be too much, and if the Wa State is sold, it may not be able to get a lot of silver."

Wang Shouren on the side didn't understand why Liu Jin had to compensate the Japanese for silver, the Ming Dynasty was the suzerainty of the Japanese state, and it was not good for him to use force against his vassal state, and he also asked the Japanese to compensate for the silver, is it too much, and the lion opened his mouth, and it was 20 million taels of silver.

"Is it much?"

"I don't think it's much at all, I finally came to the country once, how can I go back empty-handed, I never do business at a loss, and our tens of thousands of soldiers eat and chew these are all silver."

"Although Your Majesty has had a little money in the past two years, but we, who are courtiers, still have to think and consider more for Your Majesty, and when we come out to fight, he is almost like doing business, and we can't do loss-making business."

"If you win the war, you won't let them cede the land and pay compensation, can this be called a win?"

Liu Jin said as a matter of course.

"Besides, if you don't slaughter them ruthlessly, they won't remember it for a long time, I just want to make them anxious to hurt all the time, so that they don't dare to provoke us in the future, and they will be respectful to our Ming in the future."

"It is not possible to rely on benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, only by relying on fists, beating them hard, and if they hurt them, they will naturally have a sense of awe for us."

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Wang Shouren still shook his head slightly, although he felt that what Liu Jin said was not completely unreasonable, but the education he received from childhood still made him feel that since the Ming Dynasty was in the country, he should have the demeanor of the country, and he should still be benevolent and righteous for his vassal country.

Even though the vassal state has something wrong and the lesson should be learned, it still can't be too much for the vassal state, and it's almost enough.

"If they can agree to our terms, then the battle will be worth it."

Zhang Mao also disagreed with Liu Jin's proposed agreement, but Zhang Mao felt that if the Japanese State could agree to this condition, it would really make a lot of money.

This time, the silver sent to the army can not only be recovered, but also with interest, for the sake of the silver, he also decided to let Liu Jin lead the peace talks this time.

If there is silver, it is the uncle, and everything else is fake.

In Liu Jin's words, what benevolence, righteousness and morality are bullshit, there are only interests between countries, everything else is false, the Wa State is a vassal state, but it has not paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty for many years, and since it is a vassal state, they should know to protect the interests of the Ming merchants, and should not loot the Ming merchants and kill the Ming merchants.

If you do something wrong, you must be punished, this is the first thing they are unkind and unjust, so it's no wonder that Da Ming is clear.

To the south, Emperor Dogomon, the queen of the Wa, and Ashikaga Yoshisumi, the shogun, sat together, both of them puppets, and looked at everything in front of them with great interest.

Emperor Goto Gomon was in a very good mood at this time, and the Ming people respected him very much, and his position was at the forefront, next to the shogun and his son Emperor Go-Kashiwahara. Reading.com

Behind them were Hosokawa Masamoto, Yoon Se Sadada, Hino Tomiko and several other powerful ministers on the shogunate's side, and behind them were daimyo from all over the Wa Kingdom.

Such a position arrangement made Emperor Goto Gomon very satisfied, which made him feel the presence of a monarch of a country, so although his health was very poor, his spirit was very good.

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshisumi next to him was at a loss, he himself was a waste, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he had no ability, so he was favored by several ministers, abolished Ashikaga Yoshisai, and supported him, so that it was convenient for the ministers to control the power of the shogunate.

"I don't know what kind of conditions the Ming people will propose, so there must be some kind of plan to gather the daimyo from all over the country in such a mobilization."

Hosokawa Masamoto and Hino Tomiko and Yoon Se Tadashi beside him said.

His face was ugly, whether he could let the Ming army retreat this time was very important to the shogunate, once the Ming army continued to attack Kyoto and the Muromachi area, the shogunate would be completely finished.

Once the shogunate is finished, these powerful ministers will naturally be finished, and the daimyo will not let them go, and they all want to replace the shogunate, and they can't wait to let the shogunate go out of business now.

"No matter what the Ming people want, we just do everything, and then ask them to buy arms and weapons afterwards, we can still control the situation."

Although Tomiko Hino is a woman, she is decisive in killing.

"Yes, no matter what the conditions, we agreed."

"I have already contacted Lord Liu Jinliu, and he has expressed his willingness to sell arms and weapons to our shogunate, because he feels that only if our shogunate is strong enough to control the entire Wa Kingdom, and a stable Wa State is also in the interests of their Ming people."

Yin Shizhong nodded and said.

In fact, because of the proximity to here, the Wa King and the Shogun came over a few days in advance, and in the process, they had already contacted Zhang Mao and Liu Jin in advance, and exchanged views with each other.

"Really?"

When Hosokawa Masamoto heard this, he hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's true, this Miyun Iron Factory under the command of Lord Liu is the largest steel plant in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is also the largest weapons manufacturer, so it's no wonder if you don't make money."

Yin Shizhong nodded and said, he had already asked the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to inquire about some of the situation, and the young man in the red robe opposite had unimaginable huge influence and huge wealth in the Ming Dynasty.

"That kind of artillery, they sell it too?"

Hosokawa Masamoto pondered for a while, thought for a while, and asked.

"That kind of artillery can't work, it's their most advanced artillery in the Ming Dynasty, and it can't be sold, but he promised to sell us some obsolete artillery, and there is no limit to the armor weapons, you can have as many as you want."

Yin Shizhong shook his head slightly and said.

"Great~ Our shogunate wants to continue to maintain control, it can't be done without strong force, this time we are greatly injured, and it is estimated that many daimyo are already eyeing it."

After listening to this, Hosokawa Masamoto also nodded happily.

This can be, there is no shortage of silver on the side of the Wa country, although the Wa country is an island country, the country is small, and the land is small, but the island country has the advantage of being an island country, that is, the production of gold and silver, and the gold of the Wa country is more than the gold of the Ming Dynasty.

The ratio of gold and silver on the side of the Ming Dynasty is almost one to ten, and the one to eight on the side of the Wa Kingdom is now, which is still because of the large-scale trade between the two countries in the past two years, which has led to the loss of gold and silver in the Wa Kingdom, which used to be one to five.

From here, we can know that the gold and silver production of the Wa Kingdom was actually very high.

"Don't be too happy for your two countries, the Ming people can sell us weapons, and they can also sell them to the daimyo everywhere."

Hino Tomiko thought about it and shook her head slightly and said.

Anyway, they all sell weapons, whoever gives money will sell them to whomever they want, anyway, it's all the same, as long as this weapon is not used against the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Liu Jin did plan to do so.

Among the many daimyo in the back, the two governors of the Mori family were also sitting together, discussing something with each other.

These two families were the first to fall to the Ming Dynasty, and as soon as Yang Yun defeated Iwamikoku, the Nizi family and the Maori family showed goodwill.

The strength of the Niko family and the Mori family is very average, and the Mori family was a very powerful family in the middle of the Warring States period in history, especially when the Mori family defeated the Ouchi family, and at the same time, after the Niko family surrendered, the Mori family once became the most powerful daimyo in the Wa Kingdom.

But the Maori family in this era was very weak, and so was the Niko family.

Because the strength is weak, they will judge the situation and know the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so as soon as the Ming army arrives, they immediately fall to the side of the Ming Dynasty.

not only provided information and intelligence for Yang Yun's side, but also provided food and grass for Yang Yun's side, helped with logistics, etc., and performed very well.

This time when they came to talk peacefully, the other daimyo were more or less apprehensive, and they didn't know what this Ming would do to them, but the people of their two families were elated.

Because the Ming Dynasty won, the shogunate of the Wa Kingdom and the daimyo of various places were pressed to the ground and rubbed, and under an order, the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, the generals of the shogunate, and the daimyo from all over the country had to come to Hyogo to participate in the peace talks, because no one could bear the anger of the Ming Dynasty, and it would not work if they did not come.

They are different, because they chose to take refuge in Daming early, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin have already approached the two of them in advance in private, promising them many benefits.

The Ouchi family and the Otomo family were destroyed, and Liu Jin interrupted the Nizi family and the Maori family to accept the territory of these two families, and at the same time agreed to sell arms and weapons to the two families, and also promised to take the two families to the Golden Continent to make a fortune in the future.

In short, for obedient dogs, Liu Jin is still very generous, and promises many benefits, which makes the rebel family and the Maori family also excited.

It was really right to choose to take refuge in Mingren, and the two of them didn't actually do much, but the harvest was absolutely full, and they were full of confidence and made up their minds.

In the future, as long as they follow the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely soon become the most powerful names in the Wa Kingdom, and maybe they can spread to the world outside the Wa Kingdom in the future.

They now know that the world outside the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom is very vast, the Golden Continent, Australia, Europe, Africa, etc., the whole world is very big, but the Wa Kingdom is very small.
