Doi Katsuo's heart is humiliated and angry, and he is also an important minister of a country! But the situation is stronger than people, so I can only grit my teeth and endure it.

"Foreign minister Katsuo Doi, I'm glad to meet His Excellency Wang Shaobao again!" Doi Katsuo bowed deeply to Wang Yue.

Hearing this, Wang Yue was happy: "It seems that Doi-kun welcomes this official to Japan very much, you are so hospitable, I am reluctant to leave." ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Doi Katsuo hurriedly shook his head, but he was looking forward to Wang Yue leaving quickly, and he wouldn't stay for a minute.

Wang Yue turned his face and said, "Oh? Doi-kun is not welcome to this official. ”

"Welcome, welcome!" Katsuo Doi stiffened his head and said things against his will.

Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "Don't talk this nonsense, what are you doing here?" ”

Doi Katsuo hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Wang Shaobao, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Seiyi Dynasty, has sent his subordinates to discuss peace matters with you. ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Wang Yue slapped the coffee table and said, "What kind of peace?" The Edo shogunate had only one way to surrender, and asked Tokugawa Iemitsu to come in person, so go back! ”

Li Xuezhu, the confidential secretary beside him, patted his chest lightly, frowned, and said, "My commander, can't you be lighter?" scared the concubine. ”

"Ugh!" Wang Yue smiled embarrassedly, took her hand and said: "It's Commander Ben who is reckless, don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example, I remember, we are civilized people." ”

Then he turned back to Doi Katsuo and said, "You go back, since Tokugawa Iemitsu is not sincere, our army can only launch an attack on Edo." ”

"Poof!" Doi Katsuo was so anxious that he knelt down directly: "Your Excellency Shaobao, you listen to the minister's explanation, listen to the minister's explanation!" ”

Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "You go back, there is nothing to explain." ”

"No, no, Your Excellency Shaobao, all the mistakes are the fault of the foreign minister!" Doi Katsuo took two steps forward on his knees, and said anxiously with a sweat on his head: "The general is sincere, and he specially asked the foreign minister to come to the front station, not to deliberately snub Your Excellency." ”

Confidential secretary Li Xuezhu said: "Commander, just listen to what he has to say." ”

Doi Katsuo was very eye-catching, and immediately bowed to Li Xuezhu twice and said, "Thank you, Madame, for speaking for the foreign minister, thank you, Madame." ”

He didn't know if Li Xuezhu was Wang Yue's wife, but he was very close to Wang Yue depending on the situation, so it should be right to call him his wife.

Wang Yue patted his thigh and sat upright and said, "Okay, what you want to say, I'll listen." ”

Doi Katsuo wiped the sweat on his head and said: "When he came, General Tokugawa Iemitsu explained that the shogunate could surrender, but I hope to change his statement, call for peace with the outside world, and save a little face for the general." ”

Wang Yue understood that face is very important to a ruler.

He smiled and said, "Doi-kun, why do you think that this official only wants you Edo Shogunate to surrender, not to occupy all of Japan?" ”

After being taken aback, Doi Katsuo calmed down and said, "It's not like it! ”

Wang Yue nodded, the strategic dynamics of the Tiance Army are indeed a little different from the posture of occupying the whole of Japan, everyone is a smart person, and the shogunate can also see it.

He asked again: "Isn't it true that our Tiance Army is capable of occupying the whole of Japan?" ”

Doi Katsuo had a bitter face, and had to admit: "The Tiance Army has this ability. ”

Wang Yue snorted and said: "Everything that Japan is suffering now is caused by your shogunate, otherwise our Tiance army would not have traveled thousands of miles to Japan to suffer." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Doi Katsuo nodded again and again, anyway, whoever has the biggest fist is in charge, this is the law of this time and space.

"Alright!" Wang Yue said: "This official is not an unreasonable person, I can accept this statement and save a little face for your General Tokugawa Iemitsu." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shaobao, for your leniency." Doi Katsuo was overjoyed: "In addition, the general also said that he could accept all the conditions on the "Twenty-one". ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Is the content on the "Twenty-one Articles" over? The shogunate banned my Ming merchants, what should I do with the losses caused? Moreover, the official is busy with affairs, and it is your shogunate's malicious provocation that has delayed how much precious time the official has? Who will bear the military expenses of our Tiance Army to send troops to Japan? ”

Doi Katsuo has the heart to die, and the robbery operations of the Tiance Army in Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, Kyoto and other places are protracted, and it is difficult for the shogunate to think about it, can't these make up for the losses?

But the person in front of him is the robber of Chiguoguo, and he is clearly going to kill you, can you reason with him?

"Please show me the young man." Doi Katsuo Road.

Wang Yue pondered and said: "First, if my Ming merchant suffers losses during the ban of the shogunate, the shogunate will make double compensation. The victim who caused the death shall be compensated 10,000 taels of silver each, and the injured person shall be compensated 2,000 taels of silver for medical expenses. ”

The purchasing power of one tael of silver is about equivalent to five or six hundred yuan of RMB in later generations, and the compensation of ten thousand taels of silver is not low.

Doi Katsuo estimated in his heart that this item would require the shogunate to come up with more than one million taels to settle it, and it was still within his authority, so he gritted his teeth and said: "This foreign minister has agreed." ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "The second point is that Tokugawa Iemitsu must sign the Twenty-One Articles. Due to the expedition of the Tence Army, the Tokugawa shogunate had to make compensation. The twenty-one articles remain unchanged, and the shogunate will increase the compensation of 20 million taels of silver from the starting point of the castle, and pay it off within one year. In addition, Osaka is leased to the starting point in perpetuity at a rent of 500 taels per year. ”

The rent is 500 taels, which is the same price as Daming leasing Macau to the Portuguese, but Osaka is much larger than Macau. The so-called lease was just a way to dilute the perception that the Japanese had ceded land by invasion.

In the two Treaty of Shimonoseki, the rebels ceded Nagasaki and the Hirado domain ceded Sasebo. Twenty-one has ceded the port of Yokosuka and the Edo concession, plus a large city of Osaka, and the starting point will have multiple footholds in Japan.

"What? Ok, Osaka! Doi Katsuo's head was covered all of a sudden, and his figure couldn't help shaking.

Compensation of 20 million taels of silver from the starting city, Tokugawa Iemitsu may accept it, after all, Japan is a silver-producing country, tighten his belt, and add some land rent, he can barely deal with it.

This is not the case with Osaka, the third largest city in Japan, which is very important and the main route between Edo and the southwestern feudal domains.

It was also the ancestral land of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi family, and once the shogunate agreed to cede Osaka to the starting point castle, the political risks were also great.

"This minister can't call the shots!" Katsuo Doi's face is like ashes.

Wang Yue sneered: "I know that you can't be the master!" Go back and tell Tokugawa Iemitsu that if you don't get an answer before dark, our army will wash Edo with blood. ”
