Chapter 112: The Third Peace Treaty
Tokugawa Hidetada lowered his head in frustration and said: "The shogunate can only agree to this condition in private, and cannot be made public, and the territory still has to be grabbed by yourself, and after grabbing it, a peace treaty will be concluded for another hundred years through negotiation." ”
Ma Shiying said: "Of course. The second is Hirado, Tsushima, and Ichiki Mishima were occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and Ezo Island was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese were not allowed to go to the island. ”
This was acceptable to Tokugawa Hidetada. Hirado, Tsushima, and Ichiki Mishima have many pirates, and the shogunate is also quite sad, and now that Daming wants it, then go and fight it yourself. As for Ezo Island, there are a large number of aborigines on it, the Japanese are very few, and the weather is cold, there is no harvest, and the shogunate has never had the desire to occupy it.
He nodded and said: "Hirado and Ichiki are now occupied by the pirate Yan Siqi, if the Ming can take it from him, it will be occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and it will reduce the invasion of pirates." As for Tsushima Island, piracy is also rampant now, so Daming will go and take it himself. The Ezo people are not convinced by the king, and the shogunate is not interested in going to the island, please rest assured. ”
Ma Shiying smiled: "That's very good. The third point is that Nagasaki was leased by the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and all of Japan's foreign trade could only be managed by the Ming Dynasty. ”
Tokugawa Hidetada stood up and said, "Nagasaki is a direct territory of the shogunate, and it must not be leased by the Ming Dynasty. Japan's foreign trade cannot be managed by the Ming Dynasty, we can only do business with the Ming Dynasty, but the management must be done by us. ”
It seems that Tokugawa Hidetada has no obsession with the outer islands or anything, but he is still unwilling to let go of the direct territory of the shogunate, and he is obviously unwilling to let the Ming occupy a throat like Nagasaki and be subject to the Ming for a long time.
Ma Shiying said: "Which noble person does the Great Imperial Palace want to bring back?" Great General or Great Words? ”
The meaning of these words is very clear, if you don't agree to this article, then you can only come back with a son. Tokugawa Tadanaga must come back, otherwise Ajiang will not let him go, and Tokugawa Iegari is a righteous general of Zhengyi, and he can't say it if he doesn't come back. And if Tokugawa Iemitsu is in the hands of the Ming people, the Ming Dynasty can start an incident in his name at any time, and there will definitely be some feudal states who are dissatisfied with the shogunate.
Tokugawa Hidetada lowered his head, thinking in his heart. The two sons must both come back, and Nagasaki must not be occupied by the Ming Dynasty, which is a dilemma.
He waited for a while and said, "Nagasaki can't be occupied by you, so you can change the way, and Japan's overseas trade can only be traded from Hirado, isn't that the same?" ”
Ma Shiying thought for a while and said, "Then the pieces can't go to the sea, and they can only be transferred from Hirado." ”
Tokugawa Hidetada was relieved: "That's it, you can let my child come back." ”
Ma Shiying said: "The peace treaty was signed first, and then the prince could come back with all his beards." ”
Ma Shiying personally drew up the peace treaty, and Tokugawa Hidetada watched from the side, and finally got the peace treaty as follows:
First, all the territories of the Satsuma Domain were leased by the Ming court for 100 years, and the annual rent was 1,000 taels of silver. The territory south of Taruisui of the Osumi Domain was leased by the Ming court for a hundred years, with an annual rent of 500 taels of silver.
The second article, Hirado Island, Tsushima Island, and Iki Island were captured by the Ming army and belonged to the Ming court. The shogunate recognized Ezo Island as the territory of the Ming Dynasty and that all Japanese on the island had to be evacuated.
Third, Japan's overseas trade could only be traded in Hirado, and the tax rate for Ming goods was set at 1 out of 20, and the tax rate for ships of other countries was 10%. The commercial tax was collected by the Ming Dynasty and handed over to the shogunate.
Fourth, the Ming court's leased territory in Japan is sacrosanct, and the Ming Dynasty reserves the right to attack the violator at any time.
After the two sides signed, the peace treaty, written in Chinese and Japanese, officially came into effect. Ma Shiying smiled and said to Tokugawa Hidetada: "As soon as Ben Qin goes back, he will let the two sons come back, please arrange the backyard well." ”
Tokugawa Hidetada accepted his joke with a red face, and told him uneasily: "This peace treaty must not be made public, please be careful." ”
Ma Shiying smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone can take care of this matter." ”
Ma Shiying returned to Kagoshima Castle, and with the three peace treaties in hand, he was so satisfied that he first asked Yang Guanggao to prepare for an attack on Kirishima and Osumi, and then went to meet Tokugawa Iemitsu.
He said with a sad face: "The Lord of the Great Imperial Palace is really fond of the patriotic Chiyo, and the foreign minister is very worthless for the general." However, because we insisted that the Shogun was the one in charge of the shogunate, the Daigosho made concessions and prepared to let you both brothers go back. ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that his parents had always doted on his younger brother, but he didn't believe that Daming would fight for him, at most he would choose which plan was best for Daming.
Ma Shiying continued: "We didn't show the agreement signed by the general with us, so after the general went back, he could still pretend that he had done nothing. However, we have no way to explain the capture of Tokugawa Tadanaga, so we ask the Shogun to think about his words first. ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu resents in his heart, hates Daming, and hates his eccentric parents even more, his younger brother who has always been against him. He said, "It's okay, you let Kunityo meet with me, and I can convince him not to divulge this." ”
Ma Shiying said: "That's good, that's good." I'm going to see Brother Ling now, and I hope that your brothers can settle their old suspicions and get back together. ”
When he saw Tokugawa Tadacho, Ma Shiying's face was full of ease: "Congratulations to Da Neyan, the Lord of the Great Imperial Palace originally only wanted Da Neyan to go back alone, but he was opposed by the retainers, so he had to let both of them go back. ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga was disappointed, gritted his teeth and said, "These guys, if I become a general one day, I will kill them all." ”
Ma Shiying continued: "No one else knows about the peace treaty that Da Neyan signed with us, so Da Neyan can rest assured. However, Brother Ling seems to be afraid that you will talk nonsense when you go back, so I want to meet with you. ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga scolded: "What nonsense, he originally asked you to arrest me, and he also sent Inaba Masakatsu to recognize me, his mind is so vicious, he is embarrassed to see me, I will go and see, how he explains." ”
When the two came to Tokugawa Iemitsu's residence, Tokugawa Tadashi walked in directly, and said without saluting: "I don't know what the general has to call the little one to come?" ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't mind either: "Kunichiyo, the reason why I asked Inaba Masakatsu to find you, you know what the reason is." If I had been captured, you would have run back to Edo and let your father replace you as a general, I'm not wrong. ”
