Chapter 316: The Treaty of Shimonoseki
PS: The plot of no discipline is offered. Ask for a commuter pass!
Li Shouhan had hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of strongholds; tens of thousands of large barrels and countless iron cannons; There are also ships sailing on the sea, which have long been heroes for a while. It is also a matter of thought to be the king and hegemon, and it is okay to call his eldest son His Royal Highness.
However, Li Huayu strictly abides by the etiquette system, and he is not sensitive to the title of His Royal Highness. claimed that his father was a local official of the Ming court. There is no prince himself, please take back the word Your Highness, after speaking, the meaning of the civil and military officials who came to greet them one by one made the officials present feel like a spring breeze.
"Your Highness," Matsudaira still adheres to the principle of calling the big not the small, and calls Li Huayu His Royal Highness. You said that your father does not have the title of the prince, but the leader of the police and the majesty, which prince can compare to the daily life? And that half set of Luan driving honor guards are there!
"His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Shogun are waiting at Akama Shrine. Please move your highness! ”
"It's good! Before leaving, my father specially instructed him to pay tribute to the emperor of your country. Please lead the way. ”
Akama Jingu, not famous. But a few hundred years later, another building near him was extremely famous, and that was Chunfan Tower. It is also a sacred place in Japan because the emperor's ancestors are buried.
At this time, Emperor Koko was waiting for the arrival of Li Huayu with General Ieko,
(I don't know what to call them when they're together?) Is it called the emperor's general, or is it called at home? )
"Hua Yu has seen His Royal Highness and the general."
Inside the palace of the gods. Emperor Koko played the role of a clergyman very well, sitting there wandering around the world, meditating. However, General Tokugawa Iemitsu and Huayu had a good conversation.
After a few polite words of hush and warmth, Hua Yu raised a very important question.
"My father instructed Hua Yu that if the Shogun and His Royal Highness the Emperor had not ratified the treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation between the two of Japan, we must not be reckless, we must not interfere in the slightest in Japan, and we must not tamper with any grass or trees. You have to board the ship and return home immediately. ”
Although the words are polite, the meaning in them is very clear. With the treaty signed, we can help you suppress the rebellion. Guarantee the richness of your authority. Net worth, don't sign, I'm sorry, let's go home immediately.
In fact. General Iemitsu's heart was as hot as coals. Even more than Huayu, he is looking forward to signing that treaty as soon as possible. It's good to stabilize the guys who are unstable inside themselves and are eye-to-eyeing with the remnants of the Western Army!
Hearing Hua Yu's words, General Jiaguang forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "The young general's filial piety is commendable. General Ben was in great admiration. The Major General should have been asked to sign the treaty after a few days of rest in our country, but since the Major General said so, it would be fine! ”
General Jiaguang struck lightly with both palms, and there were already people waiting outside the hall.
"Go and get the table and paperwork ready. I would like to ask Izu Mamoru Matsudaira and Major General to sign the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation of our Uzunan! ”
On the 10th day of the first month of the 11th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, in the Akama Shrine in Shimonoseki, Japan, in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, Li Huayu, representative of the Nanzhong Army, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna, representative of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, signed the "Nanwa Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation." As Japan's head of state and head of the military and political government, Emperor Koko and General Tokugawa Iemitsu attended the signing ceremony.
Dozens of civil and military officials and daimyo in Japan were present as observers.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna signed his name beautifully on the text and turned to present it to Tokugawa Iemitsu, who held the fluttering document in his hand, but it was as heavy as holding Mishima in Japan. (At this time, Hokkaido had not yet begun to be occupied.) )
The seal of the general Zhengyi was used on the document and handed it to Li Huayu, and the treaty was officially put into force.
This treaty is known as the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and because there is a nearby fishing village called Shimonoseki, some historians call it the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
However, this document has been slightly modified from the original version, and the right of the naval division of the Nanzhong Army to berth at any port of the Japanese state has been modified from the original text to this right during the war, and this clause will be automatically lifted after the end of the counterinsurgency war. It can only be freely entered and exited by Nanzhong merchant ships at the ports open to the Japanese state, and the tax rate is 20 tax 1. Of course, as a reciprocal condition, the ships and commodities of the Japanese State also enjoyed the right to implement the 20 tax rate and one tax rate in the ports opened by the South China Army.
As soon as Wen Jiàn arrived, Li Huayu and the generals of the Nanzhong Army and the Marine Army changed their faces, and they only strained their faces one by one, as if the knife could not cut in, and when they saw that the ink had not dried Wen Jiàn was handed over to the eldest young master, he immediately became a loyal and courageous look.
They patted their chests and wanted to immediately send troops, lead troops and horses to attack the cult bandits on the other side of the strait, and take back Shimabara Castle as a congratulatory gift for the signing of the treaty between the two sides today. And many daimyo also raised their arms and shouted, taking advantage of the great opportunity for the Celestial Empire army to come to their aid, they attacked in a big way and wiped out the Kyushu rebels.
It was General Tokugawa Iemitsu who came forward to invite Li Huayu to jointly stop this craze.
"When the Celestial Empire army first arrived, the centaurs were tired. Our shogunate army will also reorganize its troops and horses for the purpose of requisition. It's getting late today, so you might as well ask His Majesty the Emperor to rest first, and we will entertain His Highness and the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. ”
Right now, in Japan, there is a saying that "the Tokugawa family is the shogunate of Japan, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the thirty lang, is the shogunate of Tokugawa!" ”
Matsudaira Laozhong, who is under one person and above 10,000 people, put forward his own building with a spring breeze.
And so began a night party that seemed extremely corrupt in Japan.
This banquet can be described as an Arhat inviting Guanyin, with fewer guests and more hosts.
In the huge hall, there are two rows of small dining tables, and Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu and Li Huayu sit side by side in the center, and the main seat is the officials and daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and the officials of the public and samurai systems sit together for the first time. On the guest seats were the officers of the South China Army who accompanied Li Huayu to support the counterinsurgency war. Although most of the officers above the captain of the naval division, the infantry sentry officer and above of the land division, and the officer of the artillery cavalry and above attended, it was still sparsely populated compared to the upper echelons of the Japanese state who were almost all dispatched on the opposite side.
"Open the table!"
With the command of Tokugawa Yoshinao, the lord of the Owari Domain, one of the three royal families and the ninth son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the lord of the Owari Domain, who was the chief banquet official of the day, gave an order. Hundreds of women with white powder on their faces, wearing white socks, slowly walked in with small steps carrying huge plates.
"The island country is desolate, not as rich and prosperous as the previous country. It's just a little bit of heart! ”
The words are very modest and polite, but according to the habits of Eastern countries, the more they say this, the more they must be extravagant.
"Damn! Cao Cao's treat, this meal must not be eaten to death?! ”
Liang Kuan, the commander of the land battalion and the battalion officer of the Guards Brigade, looked at the direction where the hundreds of women came from, and couldn't help but move his cheeks. Prepare to chew on the case for a while. Although before departure. His wife, Keiko, had already told him that Fuso's hospitality was very small and entirely formal, and that it was possible that people who were accustomed to the Ming diet would not be able to eat enough. But about this. Liang Kuan has not been convinced. This is the highest level banquet in the Wa Kingdom. How can you not get enough to eat?
A few beautiful small plates were quickly placed on the small table, and the colors on them were very beautiful. After setting up the plates, each of the ladies sat down on the straw mat behind the right side of the guests in a very regular manner. Pour wine for the guests.
"Look! This is waiting! ”
As Liang Kuan, who married the first wave of Fusang brides in Nanzhong, this kind of etiquette is not unfamiliar. At home, when his Fusang daughter-in-law served him food, he always raised it above his head. The same is true for marrying a few concubines later.
However, etiquette is etiquette, and dishes are dishes.
The officers of the Southern Central Army raised their wine glasses, which were not much bigger than their thumbs, and drank a few glasses of sake under the Jianyi of Jiaguang and Huayu, and waited with their eyes to continue serving.
"Today's feast must be enjoyed without singing and dancing!"
Tokugawa Yoshinao saw that the guests were all looking thoughtful, so he clapped his hands and commanded to go down and sing and dance!
"It's good! It's better to wait for food while watching singing and dancing than to spend time here! ”
Liang Kuans comforted themselves.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Everyone waited for the song and dance or opera to come up and rehearse the scarcity of wine and food, but they didn't want to come to a few old kabuki with their faces painted white and their lips extremely red. Holding a fan in his hand, he sings and dances in an extremely slow tone and even slower movements.
Liang Kuan heard someone yawning beside him, expressing his dissatisfaction with this extremely boring singing and dancing.
"I was very annoying to watch singing and dancing on a hungry stomach! It almost made Lao Tzu fall asleep! ”
Tokugawa Yoshinao, Tokugawa Yorinobu, the lord of the Kii Tokugawa family, and Tokugawa Yoribo, the lord of the Mito Tokugawa family, as the head of the three families, appreciated such songs and dances, and couldn't stop raising their glasses to persuade Li Huayu to drink.
These three are the ninth, tenth, and eleventh sons of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and their status and seniority in the Tokugawa family can be said to be unsurpassed. You must know that in history, as a close branch of the Tokugawa family, the three families could pass on their stepsons to the Tokugawa generals without a queen, or choose virtuous sons from the three of them to inherit the position of generals! In order to maintain their position, the three families gathered a total of 20,000 horses and brought them to the Shimonoseki area to confront the Kyushu traitors.
Just after the treaty was signed, they had already received a guarantee from the general's nephew Jiaguang that among the ports of trade with the Nanzhong Army that would be opened in the future, there would definitely be a foreign trade port on each of their three royal territories.
This treaty made Chiyo Takechiyo very grateful both in terms of timing and content, and he clearly felt the power of this treaty from the attitude of those Kansai daimyo before Li Huayu landed and after the treaty was signed. Therefore, he was even more grateful to the young marshal Li and his father in front of him.
"Your Highness, I don't know what Ling Zun thinks about this crusade against the remnants of the Western Army?"
Gratitude is grateful, and it is still necessary to test the thoughts and bottom line of the Li family's father and son.
Although it has long been clear that Japan does not want to have any grass and trees, and the army and horses should bring their own money and food, but that is just talk, and the Tokugawa family, as the shogun, will not even give a reward, which will inevitably make the world laugh. Learn about it early, money, food, beauties, and products, and make some preparations early.
In the hall, the waka-singers had already retired, and a few brilliant young maiko were twisting their waists gracefully to the sound of beautiful music.
This is the famous Asakawa dance in Japan.
Li Huayu's attention was attracted by these young dancers, and his attention immediately became a little distracted.
The so-called Asakawa. Translates to a river.
The dance of Asakawa is a dance of geisha, and the table xiàn is the matter of the girl passing through Asaka. A few girls came to a shallow river to cross the river, and since there was no bridge over the river, they had to lift their kimonos to cross. The further you go, the deeper the water, so the kimono should also be raised higher and higher, it is worth mentioning that the tradition of devil women wearing kimono is not to wear underwear, and the Japanese can proudly say that what pole dance, what striptease, are the disciples of my great Japanese Asakawa dance!
Generally when jumping to orgasm. The audience will go on stage to interact with the geisha. Sometimes they even directly put the geisha on the spot
At this moment, the dance is gradually entering the climax.
The young dancer's long hair hung like black flames on either side of his sideburns. As the storyline of the dance table gradually deepens, the beautiful Wu costume is improving little by little. From the white cotton socks on the feet to the calves. A young carcass is gradually showing in front of everyone.
With the sound of drums. The dances become lighter and more graceful, and the dancers resemble fairies next to the ancient Japanese gods. Gradually, the shoulders of the frost and snow were exposed, and the slender and straight legs were exposed. The slender waist is also hidden from time to time.
Hua Yu is a teenager in the end, when he is strong in blood, seeing such a temptation, he can't help but feel a little like a spear and a frog jumping, and he just wants to rush forward and sprint well.
Fortunately, there is still a line of clarity on the Lingtai, and I suddenly remembered the instructions of my parents when I was leaving, and immediately my mind was clear.
Especially the words sent to him quietly by his biological mother Li Muhua, "Son! This is the first time you've gone out on an errand, and you're leading troops there. Be careful, once this errand is broken, you don't want to have any chances in the future! ”
After trying to gather his mind and pretending not to hear Tokugawa Iemitsu's words clearly, please repeat it to the general on the side, Li Huayu immediately answered Tokugawa Iemitsu's question.
"My father said. The current Shimazu and other families, as remnants of the Western Army, used to offend the Celestial Empire with Taira Hideyoshi, and they are already unpunished. Today, our army is fighting against rebellion with Shun, and naturally the soldiers are plowing and sweeping holes everywhere. Our South Chinese Army should strictly abide by military discipline, and all the military supplies it needs will be requisitioned at a price, and paid for with Tongbao, and it is not allowed to harass your people or take a single grass or tree in vain. However, the Shimazu, Kayama, Nabeshima and other families headed by them, all men over the age of eight will be killed! Those under the age of eight are handed over to the general, and in Huayu's humble opinion, it is best to eliminate the evil. ”
Looking at the white and handsome Hua Yu, he quietly said such murderous words, which immediately impressed the four men of the Tokugawa family! My grandfather (father) Tokugawa Ieyasu tried every means to get rid of Hideyori back then, and even left the Japanese idiom of Tokugawa Ieyasu's pickiness. If you're as quick as you are, why not?
"It's not that Hua Yu and his father are handsome and don't think about the virtue of God's good life, but the Shimazu family started from the ground, and for hundreds of years, Qin came to descend Qin Chu came to descend Chu, and how many influential people have suffered dark losses at the hands of his family. Although the loss benefits are temporary, but the fundamental place is retained, they have the capital to make a comeback. In the past, when your country Taiko Kyushu was conquered, the Shimazu family saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ceded Osumi, Hyuga and other countries, and saved the land of Satsuma, which is the disaster of today! ”
Hua Yu's words made the four Tokugawa men break out in a cold sweat. Oh, yes! If you don't kill all the Shimazu family and be turned over by them in the future, your children and grandchildren may not have the ability and luck of Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
The practice of cutting down the Shimazu family to the root was resolutely proposed by Shouhan. "If you let a boy from the Shimazu family live, don't come back to see me!" These were his parting words when the people took their farewell to him.
Listening to the crowd, everyone couldn't help but be creepy.
How did the Shimazu family offend the lord? It seems that when Hue was pacified, the killing of the Nguyen family was also done in the name of rebellion?
In fact, it is no wonder that Shouhan is so ruthless.
If they knew the role of the Shimazu family in the future downfall movement, as well as the heavy blood debts owed by the above three families in China, and the Taiwanese governor and the owner of the Diaoyu Islands in the family, I am afraid that they will also completely eradicate the root of this evil!
Now that the policy has been decided, Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Yoshinao, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, and Tokugawa Yoribo are even more flattering to Li Huayu, and the sycophants who don't want money are loud.
A quintessence of Japan was soon dressed up at the urging of Tokugawa Yorinobu.
It is the prestigious women's body sheng!
In Japanese, it means a banquet in which a girl's naked body is used as a container for a large sushi feast. This kind of feast has been held in Japan for more than 1,000 years. If sashimi (sashimi) and sushi (seaweed rice balls) were introduced to Japan from China, then the Japanese created their own zào. Although the Chinese sages have the saying that "food and color are sexual", in practice, there is no such close combination of "food" and "color" as the Japanese female body sheng. It can be said that "women's body sheng" is a product of the extreme machismo of the ancient Yamato nation.
In the Edo period, the shoguns of the Tokugawa clan brought this activity to a climax. Even Guan Bai will use the "female body sheng" as a way to reward the staff below, or as a form of rewarding concubines, and even some daughters of poor families in order to enter the minister's house. will take the initiative to use the form of "female body sheng" to achieve their own goals.
Of course. It's not just that any woman can become a tableware for women's bodies.
First of all, it must be a virgin, because Japanese men believe that only virgins have inner innocence and outer purity, which can best stimulate the appetite of diners. The second is that the appearance should be better, and the skin should be smooth and fair. Low body hair, well-proportioned, not too thin, too thin to lack sexiness. Be peaceful. Steady. Be patient.
They must undergo rigorous special training before taking up their posts. The traditional training method is to place an egg at each of the 6 points on the naked body, and the egg is required to remain in place after 4 hours of rest. This is to develop perseverance. During the process of lying still, some people sprinkle cold water on their bodies from time to time. As soon as an egg slips off your body, you have to start training all over again.
Geisha are only allowed to "serve" after they have passed the training, and each time they are "served", they undergo a very detailed cleansing procedure for more than an hour, and the body hair on the legs and armpits is removed. Sprinkle your whole body with warm water, rub soap from Nanchu on a piece of muslin cloth, and then wipe your body with cotton cloth to make your whole body full of soap foam. Then rub every inch of the skin with a small sack filled with wheat bran to thoroughly exfoliate the aging skin. Then brew with hot water and knead again with loofah tendons. Finally, shower with ice water so that you don't sweat when you "serve". Do not use any soaps and soaps with aroma when cleansing, and it is absolutely forbidden to use fat powder, because the aroma will affect the pure taste of the sushi and mask the natural body odor of the girl. One qiē clean up and stop before serving.
However, what entertained Li Huayu today was not an ordinary geisha, but a princess carefully selected from dozens of famous families, and her body was full of sushi made of marlin, salmon, tuna, eel, eight-ribbon fish, squid, scallops, clams and other raw seafood, and it was extremely colorful and decorated with flower petals.
However, as a well-known quintessence of Japan, this matter has long been included in the blacklist of those who must be taboo when Shouhan mentions his son's face to Japan on business!
Huayu keeps in mind the teachings of his parents, and respects ghosts and gods for this quintessence of the country. I am afraid that I will show my monkey urgency in front of everyone in the Japanese country and my subordinates, which is extremely detrimental to my image!
The excuse was enough, and Hua Yu left the table as if he had fled.
As soon as he left, the officers of the Nanzhong Army also immediately got up and left, leaving behind a group of daimyo of the Wa Kingdom like a pack of hungry wolves to pounce on the sushi woman, and a few dancers who were demonstrating the movement of crossing the river in the center of the hall, and discussed with them the true meaning of art and the meaning of life.
However, the Tokugawa family had already selected a few princesses for Hua Yu to warm the quilt, hoping that this young master Li could sleep peacefully in the severe cold brought by the Japanese sea breeze and feel at home.
Uplink and down. Since the shogun is in league with His Royal Highness Lee, then don't blame the daimyo for colluding with the officers of the Nanchu Army.
When the officers returned to their lodgings with a good idea, and were about to take out a few cans of dried rice noodles to fill their bellies, there was already a flower-clad princess kneeling under the porch at the door. Some people have more than one in front of their door.
However, the princesses who were given to Li Huayu by the shogunate were very politely sent back, and Huayu said that he was a little tired of running around at sea, and thanked the general for his kindness.
However, according to the shogunate's arrangement for the shogunate's eyeliner in the building, it seems that a public official rushed to the shogunate's front of the shogunate to send a woman into His Highness's bedroom. I wonder if it's a prince?
At the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Emperor Xingzi of Ming Zheng gave birth to a son, and the people of the country thought it was a miracle. (To be continued......)
