Chapter 110: The Signing of the Peace Treaty
Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Tokugawa Tadanaga with anger on his face: "Kunichiyo, you have to think clearly, we are Japanese, not Chinese." ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga smiled and said, "If you become a dead person, then you are nothing." Lord Daming Qincha, as long as you make me a general, I can promise you any conditions. ”
After thinking for a while, he said: "But I can't hurt my parents, this is my last bottom line." ”
Ma Shiying said with a smile: "The general is joking, how can we hurt the Great Imperial Palace?" We came to Japan only to punish the unruly, and our goal was only to target the Satsuma Domain, which had harmed our vassal state. ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu heard that Ma Shiying had even changed his title to Tokugawa Tadashi to a general, and his heart was anxious. He pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Chincha, if you want to control Japan, it should be more convenient for me as a general than for him." ”
Ma Shiying was overjoyed in her heart, but her face was silent. He smiled and said, "Of course, nominally, the Great General will be slightly stronger than the Great Commander, but what we value more is the sincerity of cooperating with us." It depends on how you show your sincerity. ”
Knowing that the Ming Qincha wants to wait for the price and sell, the one with the highest price in the end wins. But both brothers know that the loser will only have a very miserable fate. When life is lost, everything else is.
So Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth and said, "This shogun agreed to hand over all the lands of the Satsuma Domain to the Ming Dynasty, and the daimyo of the Shimazu clan was left to the Ming Dynasty. ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga said with a smile: "In addition, I am willing to hand over Nagasaki, which is directly under the control of the shogunate, to the Ming Dynasty, and all trade with Japan will be handled by the Ming Dynasty." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu was sure that his younger brother had gone crazy, and he even handed over Nagasaki, the direct seat of the shogunate, to the Ming Dynasty, and all the trade was in charge of the Ming Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Ming Dynasty becoming the emperor of Japan. Japan's economy will all be under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, he could not care about his own life and death without caring about the interests of Japan, as Tokugawa Tadanaga did, so he fell silent and said no more.
Tokugawa Tadanaga continued, "The islands near Korea were also placed under the administration of the Ming Dynasty, and we promised not to invade Korea again. ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed and said, "Kunichiyo, I won't fight with you, you don't have to add more." ”
Tokugawa Tadashi smiled proudly: "What do you fight with me, I don't care about everything, can you do it?" ”
Ma Shiying was already shocked by Tokugawa Tadanaga's conditions, and he didn't have to work hard at all, his conditions had far exceeded his expectations. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, what other conditions could he make? Do you want to give Edo to Daming?
However, he quickly sorted out his emotions: "Since both of you are interested in being friendly with Da Ming, I am very pleased." In this way, both of you will sign a peace treaty with me, and then I will present it to the capital division, and His Majesty the Emperor will decide, what do you think? ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga shouted: "What do you want His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to decide, isn't it obvious which one has good conditions?" I can also allow the Ming people to settle in Japan and enjoy the treatment of Japanese samurai. If there are Japanese bullying the Ming people, it can be tried by Ming officials. I can also cede Osumi to Daming, so that Ryukyu no longer borders Japan. ”
Ma Shiying immediately said: "The general is so affectionate, then there is no need to trouble our Emperor Majesty, please ask the general to sign a peace treaty with us." ”
Tokugawa Iemitsu cried out bitterly: "Kunichiyo, you have become a great general, and you will regret it one day." ”
Tokugawa Tadanaga said sarcastically, "If I don't become a general, I will really regret it?" ”
Ma Shiying politely invited Tokugawa Tadashi to another room, summoned the interpreter, Yang Guanggao and other high-ranking generals, and began to discuss the signing of the peace treaty.
After some bargaining, the peace treaty was as follows: 1. All the land occupied by the Satsuma clan in the Ryukyus was returned to the Ryukyus. The territory of the Satsuma Domain was administered by the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.
2. In order to make up for the losses of the Ming Dynasty, Japan handed over the territory south of the Osumi Domain from Tasui to the Ming Dynasty for 100 years.
3. Recognize the three islands of Hirado, Ichiki, and Tsushima as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and guarantee that there will be no more aggression against Korea and harassment of the Ming coast.
4. Recognize Ezo Island as the territory of the Ming Dynasty and withdraw all Japanese from Ezo Island.
5. All overseas trade will be managed by the Ming Dynasty. Nagasaki was also designated as Japan's only foreign port, which was administered by the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Shiying looked at this peace agreement, and her heart blossomed. Although it was the Guards who fought the Japanese and had to sue for peace, he could not escape the credit of this Qincha no matter what.
The peace treaty was written in both Chinese and Japanese languages, with Tokugawa Tadanaga signing General Seiyi and Ma Shiying signing the Ming Dynasty. One on each side of the peace covenant.
The peace treaty has been signed, but it is actually useless, because Tokugawa Tadanaga is not a shogun of Seiyi, so how to make Tokugawa Tadanaga a shogun of Seiyi is the most important thing.
Ma Shiying asked his entourage to carefully collect the peace treaty, and then began to discuss with the guards generals how to make Tokugawa Tadanaga a real shogun. From here, we can see the difference between Ma Shiying and other civil officials: bold. Such a thing that overthrows a country is avoided by other ministers, but he regards it as a step into the body.
Man Gui spoke first: "If you want to talk about this, there is really no good way, you can only push it over and beat him to obey." ”
Zhao Shujiao didn't speak, and he had been worried about whether doing this would make the emperor unhappy, so he tried not to say it if he could.
Yang Guanggao shook his head and said, "If we are allowed to fight Edo, it is not impossible, but we must increase our troops." Now the first division is absolutely unable to move, the third division has already moved partially, and the Beijing division must not be empty. The 2nd Division and the Independent Brigade are here, and there are no troops left in the country to send, and it is useless for those guards to come. The emperor was also worried that Jiannu might attack Korea, so it was impossible to storm it. ”
Ma Shiying said: "Since you can't attack by force, you can only use other methods." Our army is now victorious, and the two sons of Tokugawa Hidetada are in our hands, and the shogunate no longer has enough courage to confront our army, so this is a good time to negotiate with the shogunate, so let me go and see Tokugawa Hidetada. ”
Yang Guanggao nodded and said, "You go and talk, we continue to attack the surrounding small countries, didn't the Omasumi Province participate in the Shogunate's coalition last time?" Then we will fight it, and we will occupy this place anyway, and we can also put some pressure on the shogunate to make more concessions. ”
Man Gui asked: "That general Zhengyi is useless, are you going to kill him?" ”
Ma Shiying smiled: "He's just useless now, maybe he will be of great use in the future!" ”
All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
