Chapter 213: Assassination and the Treaty (Shaking Shake Your Heads, Brotherhood Alliance Leader Plus Ten Changes)

Hayada Saemon is also dressed up today, although he is not wearing armor, he is also wearing a luxurious Japanese robe, with a knife and a stabbing blade pinned to his waist, which is also a standard samurai attire.

Because the Ming soldiers were all fully armed, except for the ban on muskets, there was no ban on carrying knives, and Hayada Saemon was also able to bring his own weapons to the stage.

He had already arrived the afternoon before to observe the layout of the scene, know the environment, and then simulate multiple assassination operations in different states in his room.

His height was half a foot shorter than Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji stood on a high platform half a meter higher than their position, which made the height difference between the two more than half a meter.

When simulating this kind of scene, he believes that the most effective assassination is to use a stabbing blade to pierce Zhu Zhanji's crotch upwards, and only in this way can he ensure a single kill.

Then, before the Ming people reacted, they fought for their lives with knives, and killed a few if they could.

As for escaping, he never thought that there were 100,000 troops concentrated on the shore alone, and most of the soldiers had muskets in their hands, and it was impossible for anyone to escape in such an environment.

But for the sake of Yamato, for the sake of Zong Zhensheng, and for the sake of all the Yamato people who died, it was worth it.

Another person had his turn to stand in front of Zhu Zhanji, a mahogany seat that was not wide, placed on a platform half a meter high from where he was standing.

The imperial grandson sat in a chair and was talking to the Japanese man in front of him who had acted as a scout for the Ming Dynasty.

Hayada Saemon didn't know his name, but from what Taisun told him, he knew that it was because of his information that a large amount of gold and antiques were seized from Heian Temple.

Just when Taisun stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying that he would handle the Ming household registration for him and make him a real Ming man, Hayada Saemon moved.

He had already thought about it, and he had to take advantage of the time when Taisun was talking to others, because at this time, his precautions were the most negligent.

If you wait until you stand in front of Taisun, then Taisun's attention will be all on yourself.

It is said that this grandson's skills are also very good, if he is on guard, and he is surrounded by masters, he may not be able to succeed.

His stabbing blade was slanted between his chest and abdomen, and as soon as his arm twitched, the stabbing blade was held in his hand, and with one step, he had already boarded the platform, close to Taisun's side, and he stabbed the knife in his hand with a cruel smile.

Without a word of nonsense, Hayada Saemon didn't even change his breathing. He had only one purpose, which was to kill the grandson who killed tens of thousands of people and robbed countless gold, silver and antiques from Dongying this time.

He also saw the frightened expression of the Japanese scout, but in his field of vision, the grandson didn't seem to react, and his face was still calm.

This made him feel a little regretful, and it would be best if he could feel regret and fear before he died.

Then he heard the guards shouting, but he didn't feel the blade piercing into the flesh, and when he looked down, his right hand was pinched by the grandson's left hand.

What about the power that you are proud of? He roared and exerted all his might, but he felt a sharp pain in his right hand, and the stabbing blade fell to the ground.

He looked at his right hand in horror, the fist he had been proud of, now twisted into an irregular mass of flesh and hanging there.

At this time, he could finally hear the voice, and the grandson looked at him with pity, and even laughed. "I didn't expect that someone would really dare to assassinate ......"

The sword was inserted horizontally under the left rib and the blade was inserted diagonally between the chest and abdomen, which was the standard attire for all samurai.

Hayada Saemon ignored the sharp pain from his right hand and went to pick up the stabbing blade that had fallen to the ground.

He didn't pull out the knife at the first time, because it was a backhand, even if his drawing skills were unmatched, it was impossible to draw the knife at this time, because he was too close to this grandson.

However, he heard the words of the grandson again. "It's just that you seem to be too weak......"

Taisun's right hand waved at this time, and Hayada Saemon seemed to hear a loud bang, and then his body flew up.

His eyes were white, his mind was buzzing, all of this seemed to be different from what he thought.

Then his body fell to the ground, but he was unable to move, and the world was dark.

Zhu Zhanji had long been on guard against this crazy nation, but he thought that the assassination would come from the royal family or from those nobles, but he did not expect it to come from the Japanese who had already taken refuge in them.

However, although this Hayada Saemon is not famous, his ability does not seem to be high, and he feels a little unworthy of his name.

Although his movements were crisp and fast, he had completely judged his movement line from the movement of his body.

Then as long as all his lines of action are blocked, he will not succeed.

And his strength is too weak, even Yang Zhangde can't compare. To want to assassinate himself with just this little ability, it can only be said that he is ignorant and fearless.

"Your Highness......"

"Your Highness......"

"Your Highness...... Save ......" Li Liang shouted half of the words and swallowed them into his stomach, no matter how you look at the scene, it doesn't look like you need to be rescued.

The assassin was already lying in the audience, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but Zhu Zhanji raised his finger as if he had slapped a fly to death.

Li Liang hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and handed a piece of white cotton cloth to Zhu Zhanji's hand.

Yiqingzi, Xuancheng, and Wang Yan, they all surrounded them, their eyes were still looking around, and the countless soldiers at the scene saw this scene, and immediately aimed their guns at everyone in the field.

Everyone was scared, and many people were even scared to pee their pants.

Taisun was assassinated, this is the fate of the Nine Clans!

Zhu Zhanji wiped his hands and said, "It's all gone, don't make a fuss." It's just a fly, there's no need to spoil his interest. ”

Li Liang asked loudly: "Your Highness, how should this murderer be dealt with?" ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled and did not speak, and the generals who jumped from the low platform of the generals on the right had already surrounded Hayada Saemon.

Ji Tsunade squatted down and wanted to check Hayada Saemon, but found that there was no need anymore, because his head turned around, and he couldn't die anymore if he was already dead.

"This man is dead."

The crowd was in an uproar.

They only saw that this person wanted to assassinate His Highness, and was slapped away by His Highness, but they didn't expect that this seemingly fluttering palm would actually kill a master.

Zhuang Jing, who was standing next to him, was also shocked in his heart, he was the most familiar with Hayada Saemon, this person was highly powerful, and there were almost no opponents in the Japanese Kou, even in himself, he could not compare to him.

But seeing that his abolished right hand was smashed by His Highness's palm, half of the bones of his head were shattered, and his neck bone was directly twisted because he couldn't withstand such a great force, what a lot of strength was needed!

"Your Highness, this person is dead!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Hang this person on the flagpole and corpse for three days." Other...... All the camps were detained and reused after screening. ”

The more than 1,000 would-be robbers were already in the square not far away, witnessing the assassination of the grandson by their leader. But Taisun seemed to be blessed by the gods, and with just one palm, he let the leader of the martial arts die.

They were also stupid at this time, and they didn't dare to resist at all, so they were tied up one by one and escorted to another open space.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't regard this matter as a big deal, but others are different. Because of the listlessness caused by the heat, when this happened, everyone's nerves collapsed to the tightest.

"Your Highness, or cancel the reception and banquet later......" Others didn't dare to persuade them, and only Wang Yan dared to persuade a few words.

Zhu Zhanji laughed, waved his arm, pointed to the tens of thousands of troops around him and said with a smile: "Canceling the ceremony just because of Xiaoxiao's attack, wouldn't you not believe in the ability of tens of thousands of soldiers of my Ming Dynasty?" Didn't you say that my grandson of the Ming Emperor was afraid of Dongying's villain? Not only can the ceremony not be canceled, but it must be more grand! ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said: "The ministers naturally protect His Highness thoroughly, and let this widow know that I, Daming, have never been afraid of any retaliation!" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded with a smile, sat back on his throne and said, "Don't worry, you want to hurt me...... Not so easy......"

The reception continued, and those Japanese people were a little relieved to see that Zhu Zhanji did not get angry and retaliate because someone assassinated him.

But everyone is calculating in their hearts, I'm afraid that they will have to lose another sum of money to really calm the anger of His Royal Highness Taisun......

And the people who know the ability of Hayada Saemon still feel ridiculous, this earth-shattering ruthless man in their eyes, was killed by this royal highness of the prince with a fluttering palm?

Is this His Royal Highness the Grand Sun really still human!

Look at his mighty appearance, and then look at Emperor Shimitsu who vomited because he saw the corpse of Hayada Saemon. No matter how much the Japanese people deceive themselves, they have to admit that this grandson is more like a god than their own emperor!

It was nearly noon, and Zhu Zhanji finally finished meeting with the last meritorious officer, and everyone marched to the inner city of Osaka.

Zhu Zhanji took a special imperial chariot for the emperor that was specially shipped over, which was brilliant and luxurious, with an area of more than 50 square meters.

And this royal chariot also uses twelve tall horses to pull it, and such a horse can't even be found in Dongying.

Everyone was stunned by this grandeur and held their breath for fear of disturbing the horses.

Zhu Zhanji walked in front of the imperial chariot, thought about it, and turned around and beckoned to Emperor Xiangguang.

Li Liang walked to Emperor Chengguang and invited him to Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Today you are the master, and Lone should not take the lead, so I want to ride in the same car with you." ”

Emperor Chengguang said in the Ming dialect with some despair: "Xiao Wang is really flattered, thank you Your Highness!" ”

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the blue smoke, this chick understood what Zhu Zhanji meant, and walked to Emperor Chengguang's newly married little wife, Yuan Ligong Akiko, and invited her to the imperial chariot.

The five of them went to the imperial chariot, and the other guards and inner guards were separated from each other and sat on the lower floor.

When those Japanese people saw that their emperor was also seated in the imperial chariot of the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't help but cheer.

Chengguang couldn't help but be in a trance, he originally thought that today was a very difficult day, but although he experienced an assassination, it didn't seem to be difficult.

Although he was a little embarrassed when he bowed to the grandson of Daming, everything passed. Thinking of the opportunity to see the prosperous Daming, he even had a sense of expectation in his heart.

Of course, there are more worries about the future.

For a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, Zhu Zhanji didn't care at all, chatting with him about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and letting him relax, while looking at Qiuzi who was talking to Lan Yan and Liu Chenghui in a low voice.

It is not difficult to find a beautiful woman among the nobles of a country, and this Qiuzi is not weaker than most of his concubines, and can even compete with the best ones.

It's just that although the eyebrows are clear and beautiful, he is as weak as a little chicken, which really makes people wonder if he has grown hair.

I don't know if he can satisfy the other party!

Qiuzi inadvertently raised his head once, and happened to see Zhu Zhanji's aggressive gaze, and his face turned red with shame, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Zhu Zhanji retracted his gaze and kept thinking in his heart.

Today's banquet is a large-scale banquet with the original inner castle of Osaka as a banquet venue, and thousands of people are entertained.

Because there were too many people and there were not so many tables, chairs and benches, Zhu Zhanji adopted the mode of buffet, with the men divided into one place and the women divided into one place.

At the banquet, in addition to all kinds of delicacies from Daming and Dongying, there are barbecued meat from the Western Regions, fruits from the South Seas, not only all kinds of wine, but also all kinds of freshly squeezed juices.

Not to mention these things, even most of the Ming people have never eaten them, let alone experienced such a banquet.

Although everyone was a little unable to let go at first, when they got to the back, all kinds of well-prepared ingredients were swept away.

Because they thought it was delicious, they couldn't finish eating and walked around, making a lot of jokes.

Only a few people did not pay attention to these foods, waiting for the subsequent contract details to be negotiated.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about this, and took the two sons of Chengguang and Ashikaga Yoshiji's mother and son to board his flagship together, so that they could see the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty.

Yasuko Hino is the mother of Ashikaga Yoshitsugu and the aunt of Joko, after boarding this huge treasure ship, she lost her mind for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, now that peace has been restored between the Ming and Japanese countries, my Yamato is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty as a brother forever, and cut the land and trade, can this kind of treasure ship be sold directly to my Yamato in the future?" ”

The role of the treasure ship is mainly transportation, and the technical content of this kind of ship is far inferior to that of the giant Fuchuan battleship. Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "Of course you can, but this kind of treasure ship is expensive, one cost nearly 100,000 taels of silver, and if you want to buy it, it will cost more than 100,000 taels." ”

Nowadays, the amount of silver in the world is far less than that of later generations, and the two major silver mines in Dongying and the silver mines in South America have not been developed, so the value of silver is still relatively high.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji's quotation far exceeded the cost, because the price of timber is extremely low today, and the total cost of Zheng He's fleet of 200 ships is only more than 1 million taels of silver, although most of the small ships in this fleet are more than 50 large and medium-sized ships.

In fact, the cost of the treasure ship was less than 50,000 taels of silver.

However, of course, there is no technical cost in this, so Zhu Zhanji's offer of 100,000 taels of silver is still very conscientious.

Who made Dongying unable to build such a ship at all!

However, when Yasuko Hino heard Zhu Zhanji talking so well, she immediately asked again: "What about the musket?" ”

Zhu Zhanji glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's not that it can't be sold, but the price won't be cheap." ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Zhanji say that he was willing to sell, Ashikaga Yoshiji immediately couldn't wait to say: "No matter how high the price is, we will buy ......."

Zhu Zhanji laughed, while Yasuko Hino glared at his son with hatred. I haven't even talked about the price, so I said I wanted to buy it, but I didn't stick my head out and let the other party slaughter it!

He was four years older than the other party, why was he still so immature!

She also didn't want to think about how she could mature with such a strong mother as her, who protected her son well.

Zhu Zhanji said: "The latest fire cap guns will not be sold for the time being, and if they do, they will only sell old-fashioned arquebuses." ”

"What about the barrel?"

As soon as she asked like this, Zhu Zhanji suspected that the lost guns were probably in her hands now.

However, Zhu Zhanji actually didn't worry too much, first of all, there were some differences in the barrel structure of the arquebus and the flintlock pistol.

Even if they developed a fire cap, it was not easy to modify it. In today's muskets, the barrel is the most difficult to make.

Now in Jiajiang Industrial Zone, for the sake of technical secrecy, the strictest protective measures have been taken, they just want to learn this processing technology, and they don't want to succeed in a few years.

And even if they learn to sharpen the seamless barrel with a machine tool, they don't know the formula of the material, whether the barrel should explode or not.

However, thinking of the various techniques that were stolen out in later generations, Zhu Zhanji decided to continue to strengthen technical secrecy measures after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

"Of course, it's a one-time formed barrel, and today's Daming, no craftsman will spend days to build a barrel."

This time, both mother and son had smiles on their faces, as long as Da Ming was willing to sell, no matter how expensive it was, they would buy it. With these guns, they would not be afraid of the comeback of Ashikaga Yoshinori's supporters.

As for the price, it's not what they're thinking about at the moment, security and power are.

What's more, although the Ming Dynasty was aggressive this time, they dealt with Ashikaga Yoshinori and the Emperor's family, and their wealth did not suffer much loss.

This is also Zhu Zhanji's intention, the looting can't last long after all, he robbed Dongying and wanted to do business with them, and they didn't have the capital, so they still developed a fart trade.

The long-term solution is to use trade to continuously drain their surplus value.

On 15 July, after five days of negotiations, the first contract was finally signed. This Osaka contract also became the first formal contract in the history of the Ming Dynasty's foreign conquests.

There are 15 articles in the contract, and eight items are roughly determined.

First, the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom will always be a country of brothers, and they will always be peaceful, and the people of the Ming and Wa will be friendly to each other, and those who live in other countries will be blessed by the country.

Second, the Muromachi shogunate opened Nagasaki and Osaka as treaty ports, allowing the Ming to open a city port and allowing the Ming merchants and their families to live freely. The Ming Dynasty also opened Ningbo as a treaty port, allowing 500 people to go to trade every year.

Third, the Muromachi shogunate ceded Iwami Province, the Izu Peninsula, Sadojima, Tsushima Island, and Damei in exchange for Daming no longer demanding compensation.

Fourth, the Ming Dynasty stationed no less than 50,000 and no more than 150,000 troops in the four places, and was obliged to assist the Muromachi shogunate in stabilizing the domestic situation. The Muromachi shogunate paid 200,000 taels of silver every year for military expenses, and if the Ming Dynasty sent troops, the military expenses would be calculated separately.

Fifth, in the future, the term "Emperor" will no longer be allowed in official records, and the term "Emperor" should be addressed to the king of Wakoku. Due to the previous encroachment on the Ming Dynasty, the king's family will be moved to live in Yingtianfu for ten years, and the punishment period will be extended depending on the effect.

Before this clause was finalized, Zhu Zhanji considered and forced Emperor Shoko to issue a human declaration, denying his status as a "god" on earth and acknowledging that he no longer had divinity.

But later, thinking that this would face a backlash from public opinion, I was still ready to boil the frog in warm water, and when I had trained him, when I would make a declaration in the world, and when I would let him go back to China.

Sixth, the original exploration trade will be changed to free trade, and it will no longer be subject to the restrictions of exploration trade.

Seventh, the Ming tariff was determined by the Ming Dynasty, and the Dongying tariff was jointly determined by the two sides, and the Ming Dynasty should ensure that the annual tariff revenue of the Muromachi shogunate could not be less than 500,000 taels of silver, otherwise it would be made up by the Ming Dynasty.

This can be said to be a contract for Dongying's life, but unfortunately, not many people in this era can see the traps in it.

Eighth, trade disputes between merchants between the two countries will be adjudicated by the Ming Dynasty, but Dongying has a negative list of ten every year, and unruly Ming merchants can refuse to trade with them.

This is also an interference with the judicial independence of Dongying, but in this era, the Dongying people will guard the Ming Dynasty and the Heavenly Empire, so it is natural for the Celestial Empire to formulate the rules.

Moreover, they also believed in the "justice" of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty did not treat the merchant class very well.

The Osaka Treaty is mainly based on these eight articles, but it also includes some other clauses, such as the commercial contract for a period of 10 years, after which the two countries will negotiate whether to extend it......

When this contract was signed, the claim team led by Zhuang Jing and Pang Ying also received almost all the summary compensation.

There are young army scouts and Japanese traitors, and the family backgrounds of those families have been touched, and they have bitten a bite of meat from each family.

By the end of July, they had brought back more than 300,000 taels of gold and more than 1 million taels of silver for Zhu Zhanji.

Combined with the trade and compensation demanded from other families during this period, including the extermination of several disobedient families and the looted property, Zhu Zhanji reaped a wealth of more than five million taels of silver.

And that's not even to add the value of those antiques and artifacts.

Everyone has been completely numb to Zhu Zhanji's ability to collect money, and this war cost less than 400,000 taels of silver, but the income exceeded 10 million taels.

According to Sun Lin's assessment, the gold and silver surplus in the entire Dongying is only about 10,000 taels. But this includes almost all the circulating and uncirculated wealth of the people. 10 million taels has hurt the foundation of the economy and made Dongying lose a lot of vitality!
