Chapter 201: The Farce of Peace Talks (7)
Returning to Nanbie Palace, the first thing Shen Weijing did was to run to Shi Lang's room to curry favor with Shi Lang.
Shen Weijing knew very well that during this trip to Wang Jing, his words and deeds would reach the emperor's ears in a short period of time through the Jinyi guards stationed in the court. Therefore, how Shi Lang reports his performance in the peace negotiations will directly affect and even determine his future and fate.
"Brother Shi, how have I been doing these days? I don't know if you're still satisfied? Shen Weijing walked into Shi Lang's room and asked cautiously.
"How satisfied am I with Lord Shen's performance? What if you're not satisfied? Besides, as the envoy of the Holy Lord's peace council, how dare I, a mere Jinyi guard, comment on it. Shi Lang did not give a positive answer to Shen Weijing's inquiry.
"Ouch hey! Who doesn't know that brother, you are a celebrity in the brocade guard. The Commander, that trusts you. Brother Shi, I hope that you will say a few kind words for me in front of the commander when you go back. Please! Shen Weijing said and bowed respectfully to Shi Lang.
"This can't be helped, Lord Shen." Shi Lang hurriedly walked to Shen Weijing's side and straightened him.
"Then Brother Shi just promised me brother?"
"There is nothing wrong with Lord Shen's performance in this peace negotiation, Shi Lang, I look at it."
"Good. With your words, brother, I am relieved. Since you are so righteous to me, brother, if I am lucky enough to be able to mix up in the officialdom in the future, I will not be able to forget your great kindness, brother. ”
"That's good, I hope Lord Shen will bring my little brother a lot." Shi Lang said half-jokingly.
"Definitely, definitely."
"Okay, Lord Shen, you see it's not too early. You're tired of the day, so get some rest. ”
"Good, good. Brother Shi, I won't disturb your rest. Leave. ”
"No."
Back in the room, Shen Weijing felt extremely relaxed.
At the beginning of the negotiations, Shen Weijing was in a dilemma. Both sides demanded that he meet their respective conditions. Shen Weijing had the feeling of being roasted on the fire.
Now that the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement, although Shen Weijing has not been completely freed, it at least leaves him room to solve the problem.
Shen Weijing lay on the bed and carefully sorted out the entire peace talks. In the end, lying on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." ”
In the middle of the night, Shen Weijing, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt that someone had sneaked into his bed, and before he could fully wake up from his sleep, the person had hugged him tightly like a snake and began to kiss and caress him.
Shen Weijing felt the other party's smooth and delicate skin writhing and rubbing on his body. An elegant fragrance emanated from the other party's elastic body, and this fragrance was like an orchid and musk, bringing Shen Weijing into a dreamlike and wonderful situation.
Shen Weijing forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart, and let the woman who was as soft as water flow around his body. He didn't want to get into a ** situation with the woman on his body too early. He wants to enjoy this wonderful feeling before the arrival of **.
Gradually, Shen Weijing felt that his entire body was about to explode. He didn't wait any longer, he had to find the right outlet before his body exploded, so that all the energy that had gathered in his body could be injected into it.
"Michiko......" Shen Weijing shouted the name of the woman on his body, turned over and pressed the other party under him.
After a while, Shen Weijing finally vented the energy in his body accurately.
Shen Weijing woke up.
Touching the wet mucus on his lower body, Shen Weijing returned to reality from his dream.
It turned out to be a dream of Nanke.
The next day, the Japanese side notified Shen Weijing and other Ming envoys to the Japanese state
The army will withdraw from Wangjing in half a month.
At this point, the negotiations between the Ming and the Japanese on Wang Jing came to an end.
Next, Shen Weijing and two other peace envoys will stay in Wangjing as agreed, so that they can retreat south with the Japanese army in the future.
The other accompanying Ming personnel, including Shi Lang, left Wang Jing and returned the same way.
In addition to Shen Weijing, Governor Konishi was quite satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations.
In the Battle of Pyongyang, Konishi's nearly 20,000-strong troops were almost completely wiped out. Through the Battle of Pyongyang, he deeply felt the strength of the Ming army's firepower and combat power.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he came to North Korea to find his daughter Liu Yingying, Konishi Yukichang would not have been willing to embark on this bloody road of invasion of North Korea.
Now, my daughter has seen it. The daughter who has grown up also has her own crush, and her future destination is worth looking forward to.
Yukicho Konishi hopes that this war will end sooner, for himself and for his daughter.
As soon as the peace talks were over, Konishi returned to his residence and called his retainer Naito Ruan (also known as Konishi Fei) to a tavern run by Japanese people near his residence to celebrate.
The two came to a private seat on the second floor, ordered a few Japanese side dishes, asked for a pot of sake, and drank it.
"Family master, this discussion and success can finally give us a sigh of relief." Naito Ruan picked up his glass and toasted Konishi Yukicho.
"yes. Since the defeat of Pyongyang, I have not had a good night's sleep. Konishi Yukicho took a bite of food and said slowly.
"Don't blame yourself too much. In the battle of Pyongyang, if it weren't for the Ming ** team with powerful firearms, I don't think it would have been able to win us. ”
"Xiao Xifei, in fact, sometimes wars are not won by weapons. Factors such as the comparison of forces, morale, confidence, and careful preparation before the battle will all affect the victory or defeat.
"In the battle of Pyongyang, the Ming army not only had an advantage in numbers, but also the morale and confidence of the soldiers were above our army. More importantly, the Ming spies infiltrated Pyongyang in advance and obtained important information about the number of our troops. Otherwise, the Ming army would not dare to rashly besiege the city of Pyongyang. ”
"Yes, Akito is sometimes very cunning."
"Fortunately, after this withdrawal, we will be able to at least get a longer period of rest and reorganization. Even if the follow-up negotiations are unsuccessful, the restored officers and men of our army will deal with the Ming army with stronger combat effectiveness. ”
"Doesn't the head of the family want to recruit again, reorganize the army, and make a comeback?"
"To be honest, I'm a little tired of fighting at my age. I now hope that this war will end sooner rather than later.
"This time, I strongly advocated peace with the Ming army, although it was supported and approved by the three military councils, but it also offended a large number of young Zhuang faction main battle officers like Kato Kiyomasa.
"Kato Kiyomasa almost killed the Ming Council and the envoy halfway. If I hadn't discovered his intentions in time and arrived in time to stop them, those envoys might have been killed long ago. ”
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the Ming army is already in the city at this time."
"That's for sure. Nowadays, the morale of the Ming army is high. Doesn't this give them an excuse to attack the city? It's not a situation I want to see. ”
"If the follow-up peace negotiations are successful, will we be able to return to China?"
"Konishi Fei. I don't think you have any brains at all. What Ether Pavilion means, if this peace negotiation is to be successful in the end, Da Ming must agree to our four conditions.
"Once they agreed, we not only opened the door to trade with the Ming Dynasty, but also married the Ming Dynasty, what a glory it is.
"As for the four southern provinces of Korea, anyway, we still control the southern region of Korea after we retreat, whether the peace talks are successful or not,
We're not going to give it up. ”
"Once the peace negotiation is successful, the Ming army will ask us to return to the country. What to do? ”
"Hey, hey. Let me tell you, in fact, Taige didn't want to negotiate with Daming sincerely. Don't you think that swallowing a small piece of North Korea will not satisfy his appetite? "Yukihiro Konishi drank a little too much, and he even told the story of state secrets.
"Oh. I kind of get it. ”
"You understand? You know the. Come, have another drink with me. ”
"All right, master. Don't drink it anymore. Shall I help you go back to rest? ”
"No...... Go on...... Drink...... Today I...... Happy ......"
Yukinaga Konishi sat in his chair and his body began to sway from side to side.
Naito Ruan had no choice but to continue to drink with Konishi Yukicho.
"My lord, the kabuki in this tavern are good-looking. Why don't I call you over to help you up? Naito Ruan wanted to make Konishi Yukinaga drink by watching the song and dance, so he proposed.
"Called...... Hurry up and call ......" Yukinaga Konishi was drunk and hazy.
Naito stood up and walked out the door.
A moment later, a Wakoku kabuki dressed in a pink kimono and pedaling clogs walked into the room following Naito Ruan, holding a Satsuma pipa in her hand.
"Xiao Yezi, my master drank too much. You sing a song to sober up my master. Naito motioned for the Kabuki, named Kohako, to sit on the stool in the corner of the room.
"Yes." Xiao Yezi promised, sat on the stool and plucked the strings, and sang:
"A breeze calls for distant memories;
A few floating clouds, decorating the green of life.
The earliest breath, through the moving beauty;
The first beauty is here.
Hometown! hometown
The most beautiful place in my heart.
The footsteps away from home are gradually moving away.
The simple country accent is still clear.
……”
With Konohako's beautiful singing voice, Konishi Yukinaga's eyes were slightly closed, shaking his head, and following the rhythm of the song, he rhythmically tapped his hands on the table.
“……
Mother's concern, looking at the dawn of the morning.
The distant return of the wild goose array brought the news of the wanderer.
The curling smoke of the cooking stove wafts warm feelings.
Vertical and horizontal, close to each other.
A breeze calls for distant memories.
……”
Listening to the beautiful song and looking at the young woman in front of him, Konishi Yukicho couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
In the hazy eyes of tears, Konishi Yukinaga suddenly felt that the young woman who was playing in front of him instantly became his daughter Liu Yingying. With his fair face, slender fingers, and looking eyes, it was clear that his daughter had come to his side.
"Yingying, my daughter ......" Yuki-chan Nishi shouted, trying to get up from his chair and hug his daughter. Na Cheng thought, his body was blocked by the corner of the table, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Master, are you alright?" Naito Ruan hurriedly helped Yukicho Konishi up.
"My daughter...... Yingying ...... She's finally here...... Recognize me as an incompetent ...... Father. Yingying ...... You suffered. Father, I ...... I'm sorry for you. Konishi Yukicho broke free of Naito Ruan, staggered to Xiao Yezi's side, hugged Xiao Yezi, and lay on Xiao Yezi's shoulder with a headache and wept.
Xiao Yezi was so frightened that he threw away the pipa in his hand, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Just then, the door to the room was kicked open. Several big men with knives broke through the door, firmly controlled Yukinaga Konishi and Ruan Naito, and then forcibly led them out of the door.
