Fourth, the Japanese state must bear the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty this time, and a total of 15 million taels of silver needs to be paid to the Ming Dynasty, which can be paid in installments.

Seeing this, the Wa King, the Shogun, the Shogunate, and many daimyo were dumbfounded, and some even rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Da Ming actually asked them for military expenses and war reparations, and the lion opened his mouth, and it was fifteen million taels of silver.

But this is not the key, the key is that the Ming Dynasty has always been a model of self-sacrifice in the eyes of the surrounding vassal states, and the vassal states went to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was always afraid that the vassal states would lose, and they returned several times each time.

Therefore, in everyone's concept, the image of the good man of the Ming Dynasty is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to benevolence and righteousness, and the external world is basically dominated by Confucianism, so everyone thinks that even if the Ming Dynasty puts forward conditions for peace talks, at most it is to apply for the Japanese Kingdom, and then put some words such as benevolence and righteousness, and remind the Ming Dynasty not to mess around, at most, that's it.

Who knows, Da Ming is now asking them to pay compensation, and one mouth is fifteen million taels of silver, which is really unexpected by everyone.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Liu~"

"Da Ming is a kingdom, and he has always been courteous to our vassal states, how can he ask us to pay compensation?"

Hosokawa Masamoto widened his eyes and said to Zhang Mao and Liu Jin.

"Yes, Da Ming is the suzerainty of our Wa Kingdom, how can it embarrass our vassal state because of this little silver?"

Yin Shi Zhongzhen also couldn't believe it, and at the same time, his forehead was sweating, if he really compensated the Ming side for fifteen million taels of silver, the shogunate would completely become poor.

"Is this still a vassal state of our Wa Kingdom?"

"How can you value profit over righteousness?"

"Yes, yes, Da Ming has always been benevolent and righteous, how can this be?"

Many daimyo also nodded their heads and expressed their opinions, if the indemnity of 15 million taels of silver fell to the entire Wa Kingdom, how could these daimyo run away, and they would have to divide a part of it, thinking of this, these daimyo were also anxious.

"Of course, our Ming Dynasty is benevolent and righteous, and we have always been benevolent and righteous to our Ming vassal state."

Liu Jin glanced at it coldly and said, "But some people don't take our Ming benevolence to heart, so naturally we don't need to be benevolent to them." ”

"Knowing that our Ming Dynasty is the suzerain, and also levying heavy taxes on our Ming merchants, and killing our Ming merchants, there is no Ming at all in this eyes."

"Since there is no Ming Dynasty, there is no need for our Ming Dynasty to be too benevolent."

"If you don't do these things, our Ming army will naturally not come to the Japanese country, so all of this is your own fault."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was silent again.

To tell the truth, many Japanese people do not feel that the Ming Dynasty is their suzerain, there is no Ming in their eyes at all, the two countries are separated by the sea, and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army came to the side of the Wa Kingdom this time and taught these Wa people a hard lesson, most of the Wa people would not feel anything about the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to levy heavy taxes on the Ming merchants, and you want to loot the daimyo of the Ming merchants, it is not a family or two, some of them are just because they are located in a remote area and do not have that condition and strength.

In the past, they really lacked reverence for Daming.

"But, my lord, isn't that fifteen million taels of silver too much?"

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Hosokawa Masato thought about it and said that the compensation seemed to be inevitable, so we could only see if we could pay a little less.

"Is it much?"

"I don't think it's much at all, our Ming Dynasty dispatched 50,000 troops, this person eats horses, and the artillery we consume, the soldiers who died and died, and fifteen million taels of silver are not much at all."

Liu Jin looked at Hosokawa Masato and said.

"My lord, having said that, I can't use fifteen million taels of silver, not to mention that our country is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and our country is small and small, where is there so much silver to compensate the Ming Dynasty?"

Hosokawa Masato was glanced at by Liu Jin, and the whole person had a creepy feeling, and his voice was a little weaker.

"Then I don't care, this is a matter of your country, the silver must be compensated, and I just came to bargain with you, just to tell you this condition, whether to pay or not is your business, it is completely up to you to decide."

Liu Jin smiled, and he was sure of what you meant.

The knives are all on the neck, and the meat is settled.

Compared with the appearance of the Japanese people in later generations when they negotiated with the mite Qing, Liu Jin felt that he was still too merciful, tens of thousands of troops in hand, enough to sweep the entire Japanese country, and asked them for fifteen million taels of silver.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone frowned tightly and remained silent.

The daimyo in various places are naturally not easy to speak, their strength is weak, if they open their mouths and are targeted by the Ming army, the other party can send a large army to destroy you casually, and the powerful daimyo of the Otomo family, the Ouchi family, and the Uesugi family are now all removed.

On the shogunate's side, the puppet Ashikaga Yoshisumi had no right to speak, and he didn't want to speak, and Hosokawa Masamoto, Yoon Se Tadadada, and Hino Tomiko looked at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Now it's really a knife on the neck, if you don't say a word, believe it or not, the Ming army will kill Kyoto and Muromachi now?

There was silence, and everyone continued to look down.

Fifth, in order to show punishment, the Wa Kingdom must cede Iwami Province to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time lease the Hyogo no Tsu to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, everyone's faces changed again.

What does this Daming want to do?

To occupy a piece of land on the island of Honshu in the Wa Kingdom, is this a plan to slowly annex the entire Wa Kingdom step by step?

"My lord, this ceded Iwami Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty, is the Ming Dynasty going to annex and occupy our Wa Kingdom?"

Yin Shizhong couldn't help but shout.

"Invade your kingdom?"

"You think too much, the whole world is very big, and there is more fertile and rich land than your Wa Kingdom, and our Ming Dynasty doesn't look down on this place of your Wa Kingdom at all."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"What's more, your Wa Kingdom is our Ming vassal state, how can we, as the suzerain, invade our own vassal state?"

"Our Ming Dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous to the vassal states, and we are courteous, and we will not do anything to hurt our brothers and friends again."

"This time, it's just to let you Japanese remember that as a vassal state, you should have the consciousness of a vassal state and always maintain a sense of reverence for the suzerain."

"The purpose of ceding Iwami Province is to make you remember this."

"In addition, the cession of Iwami Province and the lease of Hyogo no Tsu is also to protect our Ming merchants, we will garrison troops in these two areas, if someone in your Wa Kingdom dares to commit another offense, and there is no monarch father, then our Da Ming's punishment of your Wa State will be far more than this."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone suddenly felt that their heads were big, the Wa Kingdom was already chaotic enough, the shogunate was weak, and the daimyo from all over the country were competing for each other, and now with the words of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom would be even more chaotic.

And who knows if what Liu Jin said is true or false?

Is Da Ming really not interested in the Wa Kingdom?

It seems that the Ming Dynasty is really not interested in the Japanese Kingdom, and the Ming people that everyone comes into contact with are all nostrils facing the sky, looking like the best in the world, and my Ming people are the most bullish.

Other places are wild places, and people outside the Ming Dynasty are barbarians, uneducated, and do not know the way of saints.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty has no interest in the Wa Kingdom, and everyone believes it. Let's pick up the book

However, this cession of Iwami Province and lease it in Hyogo no Tsu, no matter how you look at the Ming Dynasty, this is the intention of fully annexing the Wa Kingdom.

"My lord, this Iwami country is the inherent land of our Wa Kingdom, and this is ceded to the Ming Dynasty, isn't it inappropriate?"

"And through this time, our Wa Kingdom will definitely remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, and will never dare to have something similar happen, can this garrison also be exempted?"

Hosokawa Masamoto thought quickly in his heart, thought about it and said.

"What's wrong?"

"If you make a mistake, you will be taught a lesson, just an Iwami country, a big place."

"As for saying that you don't dare to make such a mistake again, to be honest, I don't believe it, I'd rather believe that the sword in my hand can protect my own safety."

"The safety of our Ming people must be guarded by our Ming army, and the garrison is also to supervise your Wa country, if your Wa country looks good, we can also consider withdrawing troops in the future."

Anyway, since ancient times, contracts have been used to deceive people, and whether the contract is performed or not depends entirely on the relationship between the two parties and the comparison of strength.

If this Wa kingdom became stronger, it would definitely tear up the contract and expel the Ming army.

Anyway, let's sign this contract first, and then talk about it, whether to withdraw troops in the future or not, that's a matter for the future.

"My lord, this cession of Iwami Province is absolutely impossible, can it be the same as Hyogo no Tsu, it is all leased?"

Yin Shi Tadada, Hosokawa Masamoto, Hino Tomiko and others looked at each other, and it seemed that this was another treaty that could not be changed, and after thinking about it, they also bargained.

This is clearly to hang a sharp sword on the heads of the Japanese people, if the Japanese are obedient, it is naturally the best, if the Japanese are disobedient, this sword will fall.

As long as the Ming army is stationed on the side of the Wa State, many things in the Wa State will not be decided by the Wa people themselves in the future, but will depend on the face of the Ming Dynasty.

"No, Iwami must cede to us Daming."

Zhang Mao shook his head and said very firmly.

What are you kidding, this battle is for the Iwami silver mine of Iwami Country, hundreds of millions of taels of silver, such a huge wealth, even if it is the Ming Emperor, it is enough to lose all face.

The other conditions can still be discussed, but this cession of Iwami Province has no room for negotiation.

Hearing Zhang Mao speak, many people were slightly startled, this Zhang Mao rarely spoke, everything was led by Liu Jin, and now he said so firmly, obviously this Iwami country, Daming is going to be decided.

"A little Iwami country, why are you here."

"In this way, our Ming Dynasty will exchange land for a hundred times the land of Iwami Kingdom, so as not to say that our Ming Dynasty has bullied your Wa Kingdom and bullied our own vassal state."

Liu Jin thought about it and smiled, and said.

If it weren't for the silver mine of Iwami Province, I wouldn't be able to look down on this broken place, of course, the location of Iwami Province is very important, it is an important point on the route to the Golden Continent in the future, and if you occupy this place, it will be much more convenient to go to the Golden Continent in the future.

"Really?"

As soon as he heard that Liu Jin said that he would exchange land for Iwami Province, and that he would come to Iwami Country with a hundredfold amount of land, many daimyos, shoguns, ministers, Wawang and others were dumbfounded.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

At the same time, Zhang Mao, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yun also widened their eyes, what the hell is Liu Jin doing?

"Ahem~"

Liu Jin coughed lightly, thought for a while and said, "Presumably you also know that there is a big world outside of our Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and there is a very vast and huge land. ”

"The Golden Continent, Australia, Europe, Africa, etc., there are also a lot of fertile and vast lands casually, and in the future, we can support your Japanese countries to expand in Africa, Europe, and other places."

Liu Jin once again began to talk about the world outside the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and these things had already been spread to the Wa Kingdom through the Ming merchants, and the daimyos of the Wa Kingdom who were present also knew about it.

I know that the world outside the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom is very large, with a vast and boundless land, very fertile, and contains endless treasures.

In the past, these people never thought of expanding outside the Japanese kingdom, and they just wanted to invade Korea and see if they could set foot on the mainland.

Now, Liu Jin actually said that he could support the expansion of their Japanese kingdom in Europe and Africa, and suddenly it was like a lightning bolt in the minds of these Japanese people present, and a vast and boundless world seemed to be waiting for the Japanese people to conquer.

"Really?"

A daimyo couldn't help but say.

"Of course it's true, our Ming Dynasty is everyone's suzerainty, whether it's your Japanese country, North Korea, Annam, Siam, that's our Ming vassal state, and I've always admired my Chinese civilization, and in terms of blood, we can all be regarded as a family."

"The whole world is very big, and we alone can't eat it all, so we are willing to take everyone to conquer the whole world."

When he said this, Liu Jin's old face couldn't help but turn red.

In the final analysis, it is for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the whole world, and it is still a bit reluctant to rely on himself, and it is not bad to bring these little brothers of the vassal states.

This can lay the foundation for the next conscription of Japanese warriors, Korean warriors, Annam warriors, etc., and then you can legitimately recruit troops from these vassal states, and use their people to conquer the world, as for the distribution of benefits, it is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

When the time comes, Da Ming will eat a large piece of cake, and casually giving these vassal countries a little bit of a small head is enough to support them, after all, their country is small, and a random piece of land is enough for them to laugh from ear to ear.

In addition, Liu Jin is also laying the foundation for the future world.

Because he crossed over, the Ming Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes, and the future that Liu Jin could see was that the two civilizations of the East and the West competed for hegemony over the entire world.

There are many countries on this side of the Western world, with Western civilization at its core.

On the eastern side, it is natural to take the Ming Dynasty as the core, plus this vassal state, with the core of the Eastern Chinese civilization, in this way, it will not be weak in the future competition process.

Why did Australia, Canada, and even some very small countries in later generations not pay a light to us, in fact, it is not because they are the cattle of these countries, but because they are all members of the family with the most bullish bald eagles, John cows, and Gallic chickens, and they are all members of their core of Western values.

Liu Jin saw this, so he had to start working hard now to build the eastern core camp dominated by the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese Kingdom, Korea, Annam, and Siam all did not care about us in later generations, and even hurt us, but the key core is that because we are weakened, our strength is not good.

If we are strong, they will still be our loyal little brothers, in the end, it is still the same sentence, if you are strong, the world will open the way for you, naturally if you are not strong, even a piece of sand will block your steps.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the high-level officials of the Wa Kingdom present suddenly believed Liu Jin's words, believing that Da Ming really had no interest in the Wa State.

This cession of Iwami Province and the lease of Hyogo Nozu was really to protect the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and to teach the Wa Kingdom a lesson, and as for the annexation of the Wa Kingdom, it seems that it is really unnecessary.

Because the world is very big, there are too many, too many rich regions waiting for the Ming to conquer, and the poor mountains and rivers of the Wa Kingdom seem to have nothing worthy of being annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, everyone's mind is also alive, about the world outside the Ming Dynasty, everyone has heard a lot of Ming businessmen, and many people are also yearning for the world outside the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that due to the limited strength, there is no way to get in touch, and now Daming is willing to take everyone to play, which is naturally the best.

The golden continent of gold everywhere, the Africa full of gems and ivory, and the silk porcelain as the gold of Europe...... Thinking of this, some ambitious daimyo of the Wa Kingdom couldn't help but blush.

"I'll go~ Liu Jin, this stinky boy is too good at fooling, this is to pit the Japanese people to death, this Africa and Europe are thousands of miles away, and they can even take out the painting cake, I am really convinced~"

Zhang Mao couldn't help but give Liu Jin a thumbs up in his heart, this person is shameless, he really does everything, this Liu Jin is too good at fooling people.

"This is a good idea, the Ming Dynasty conquered the world, it is indeed possible to bring the vassal states of the Wa Kingdom and North Korea, the world is very big, we Daming can't finish eating, everyone shares a point, it's also good."

Wang Shouren also nodded straight at Liu Jin's proposal, this can be had, compared to other countries, this vassal state of the Ming Dynasty is still closer.
