Chapter 219: Let the Japanese state compensate for military expenses

The stumps and severed arms on the seashore were quickly cleaned up, and the guards of the Jingo guards advanced five miles and then began to set up camp, while the soldiers of the other four guards advanced in a fan shape, intending to eliminate all the Japanese slaves within thirty miles.

As soon as the camp was set up, Xu Jingchang, Xue Bin and others couldn't wait to find Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shaofeng, and directly planned to take people to explore the surrounding terrain and minerals.

For these people who came to the Wa Kingdom to open up the wasteland, what they needed to do was not just to build a city.

When Yang Shaofeng went to the border city, the Ministry of Industry had already built a small city, but not to mention a small city in the country, there was not even a blue brick cement and other things, so what to build a city?

Therefore, these people can only rely on the craftsmen and tools brought from the Ming Dynasty to dig and burn bricks, quarry stones and cement step by step, and cut wood for materials.

In short, everything has to start from scratch.

The first step is to clear out the port of Shimane, and then start repairing it until it becomes a real wharf, at least a large wharf like Tianjin Port or Quanzhou Port where treasure ships can be berthed.

After the dock was built, the next step was to let the treasure ship stay and resupply it, and then transport more craftsmen and necessary materials to the Wa Kingdom after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

After the number of craftsmen is sufficient, the next step is to start building the city, directly abolishing the village-like "city" of the Wa Kingdom, and building a new city according to the scale of the border city.

And then there is the migration of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The problem now is that there is no shortage of tools, and there is no shortage of materials that need to be used.

The only thing missing is labor, a lot of labor.

Of course, before solving these messy problems, Yang Shaofeng has more important things to do.

Yang Shaofeng pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Brothers, who is bold enough to go to Kyoto with me?" ”

Xue Bin patted his chest and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Wu Keqin also responded: "Count me in!" ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned and asked, "What are you doing in Kyoto?" ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed and said, "When we landed, there were more than 10,000 Japanese robbers on the shore who wanted to stop us, did we have to ask the Heavenly King and Shogun of the Japanese Kingdom for an explanation?"

Also, in order to disperse those Japanese slaves, Gonggong Zheng fired so many shells, and did not let him pay for our military expenses, can he still let the treasury of the Ming Dynasty bear it? How can there be such a truth in the world? ”

Zheng He nodded and said, "This is the way it should be. However, how much silver does the champion think is needed? ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "Thirty thousand taels of silver." ”

Zhu Zhanji snorted and laughed, coughed for a long time before pointing at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Thirty thousand taels of silver?" You dare to think about it!

Not to mention how much silver can be collected by the Wa State in a year's taxes, even if the Iwami Silver Mountain is still in the hands of the Wa State, it will take them a few years to dig out 30,000 taels of silver? ”

Yang Shaofeng said with a gloomy face: "I'll let him die!" 30,000 taels of silver, not a penny less! If you can't afford it, you can, you can guarantee it with their tariffs.

In order to prevent unpleasant occurrence like this one, our Ming Dynasty should send personnel to set up a consulate general in Kyoto, to supervise and guide the Japanese court, and the transfer of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses must be approved by our Ming Consul General;

In addition to the cession of the land to the south of the island, the Wa Kingdom must have another treaty port for our Ming merchants to come and go, and the commercial tax rate is licensed at 30 taxes and 1, which is not the same as the Wa merchants, so as to show the nobility of the people of the Celestial Empire.

In addition, all the people who hold the household registration of our Ming Dynasty, if the business trip in the Japanese country violates the law or has a conflict with the people of the Japanese country, the people of the Japanese country shall not deal with it by themselves, and must be personally judged by our Ming officials, and shall be subject to the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the "Hongwu Great Edict". ”

Zhu Zhanji blinked and looked at Yang Shaofeng for a long time, and then wanted to reach out to see if Yang Shaofeng's forehead was burned: "Are you sure you want to make these requests?"

Let's not talk about the matter of letting the Japanese state cede the land before, and we won't mention the question of whether the 30,000,000 taels of silver can be compensated, let's just say what kind of consul general you proposed, are you sure that the Japanese people can agree?

It's true that the Japanese country is a vassal state, but how to mobilize other people's soldiers and horses is their own business, even if you rely on the name of the emperor's grandfather to interfere, it is better than getting some consul general to come out and interfere with other people's soldiers and horses, right?

Also, the matter of commercial tax rates, there is not much of a problem, and it is also appropriate for the people of the Ming Dynasty to be nobler than the Japanese slaves, but are you sure you want to hang these two things together?

And the last one, are you sure you're not causing trouble for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty? In other words, if there is a conflict between the Ming merchants and the Japanese people, and they know that the government cannot deal with it, will they honestly go to the government? Can't you just kill people and kill people? ”

Yang Shaofeng squinted at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Do you think these conditions are too much?" I think these conditions are very conscientious, and they are not too excessive at all. ”

Of course, Yang Shaofeng can pat his conscience and say that these conditions are not excessiveβ€”the eleven paragraphs of the "Peace Treaty" of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", the three paragraphs of the "Other Treaty", the three paragraphs of the "Negotiated Special Article" and the two paragraphs of the "Special Article on the Extension of the Armistice" are more excessive than these conditions put forward by Yang Shaofeng!

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "You better change it, it's too bullying." If I were the king of the Japanese kingdom, I would not admit any of these conditions, and if it was a big deal, I would break the net and fight with you with the strength of the whole country. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji asked Xue Bin and the others again: "What do you think?" ”

Xue Bin looked at Yang Shaofeng, then at Zhu Zhanji, and said thoughtfully: "I am Yongshun Bo of Daming, if someone bullies Daming like this, then I will definitely fight to the death and never compromise."

However, now it is these conditions put forward by our Yang Hanlin, and these conditions are for the Japanese state, I don't think there should be any problem? ”

Wu Ying nodded in agreement: "Yongshunbo is right, anyway, this is aimed at the Wa Kingdom, what does it have to do with us." Brother Hui gathered his soldiers and horses and accompanied Yang Hanlin to Kyoto. If they agree, then that's it, if they dare to burst out a word, then they will directly destroy the Japanese country! ”

Xu Jingchang suddenly pointed at Wu Ying and laughed: "You really didn't lose your nickname of a strong donkey!" You don't want to think about it, how many soldiers and horses did we bring with us? Can we kill it?

Also, how big is the Wa Kingdom? What about the mountains and rivers? If I am the general of the Japanese army, and I don't confront you head-on, I scatter the army of the Japanese country into the mountains, rivers and forests to attack you, can you bear it? ”

Wu Kezhong nodded and said: "What Dingguo Gong said is indeed a problem, and the soldiers and horses we bring are indeed a little less, more than 20,000 infantry plus 3,000 cavalry, there is really no way to completely destroy the Japanese country." ”

Wu Keqin shook his head and said, "No." What you are talking about is not destroying the country, but killing all the Japanese slaves, or arresting them all to work as laborers.

In fact, more than 25,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry were enough to kill all the armies of the Wa Kingdom. If they dare to hide in the mountains, we will set fire to the mountains, will anyone take care of us? ”

Seeing that the more these people talked, the more outrageous they became, and they even said such words as setting fire to the mountain, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but say with a dark face: "Set fire to the mountain, and sit in prison." We still have to count on the wood of the Japanese Kingdom, you turn around and burn all the fire, let's go back to Daming to transport the wood? Isn't that a bag in the head? ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Let's get down to business." I remember that you said before that the Japanese state was divided into northern and southern dynasties, so are these people from the north or the south now?

If it is a person from the southern widows, then it seems a little inappropriate for us to inexplicably place these charges on the northern widows? If these people are from the northern widows, then we can't put this matter on the southern widows, right? ”

was said by Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shaofeng was suddenly a little confused - the south and the north are indeed two different things, and for some reason, this matter was planted on the body of the north and the north, and people would not admit it.

As for Nan Wei, now that Nan Wei's Xicheng Hou Guishan doesn't know which corner to hide in, it doesn't seem to be easy to find out this grandson and take the blame?

The most important thing is that now the Ming Dynasty has no way to contact the grandson of Xicheng Houguishan in Nanwei, unless they first find out the two brothers Zhengge Chengjiro and Zhengge Chenggolang, and let them find a way to contact Xicheng Houguishan by themselves.

Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhanji, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Heavenly King of the Wa Kingdom is Fushimi Palace Hikohito, and the King of the Wa Kingdom is Yuan Yoshiji, both of these two people were canonized by my Ming Dynasty, and they are the masters of the Wa Kingdom in law.

As the saying goes, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, this time the Japanese invaders ambushed our Ming army on the seaside, and Fushimi Miyahito and Minamoto Yoshichi are always inseparable. ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly patted his head and said, "It has to be Gonggong Zheng!"

Gonggong Zheng is right, this matter is the Japanese people ambushing my Ming fleet, who cares what he is from the south and the north, anyway, they are all Japanese, what we are looking for is naturally the king and lord of his Japanese country. ”

Looking at Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shaofeng continued: "What do you say? ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "What do I say? Now that it's all decided, let's do it.

By the way, forget about your trip to Kyoto, go back and let someone go to Kyoto to inform us, and let Fushimiya Hikohito, the king of the Japanese Kingdom, and Minamoto Yoshimoto, the king of the Japanese Kingdom, come here to meet us. ”

Stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and then pointed at Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Zhanji continued: "I am the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty, you are the husband of the Ming Dynasty's Hanlin Academy, the husband of Mrs. Yipin, our brothers took the initiative to visit them, can they afford it?" Aren't you afraid of folding your life? ”

Yang Shaofeng had a dark face and said, "Can we not mention this official grade?" ”
