Xu Junsheng came to Torajumaru, who was bombarded by the Ming army's artillery, and was immediately led into the main hall of Honmaru Castle by the samurai of the Shimazu family.

Walking to the door, taking off his shoes and entering the hall, Xu Junsheng glanced at it and found that Qian Bingrup was also there.

The Shimazu clan originally supported the Western Army, but after the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Shimazu clan made many efforts to keep the domain and form a superficial peace with the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although the Tokugawa shogunate did not destroy the Shimazu clan, it has been squeezing the Shimazu clan, and Japan wants to build bridges, temples, and rivers, and the Tokugawa family will not forget the Shimazu clan, and want to hollow out the Shimazu family's treasury to prevent the Shimazu family from becoming bigger.

The Ming Dynasty's artillery giant ships, sharp artillery, Shimazu Mitsuhisa has been completely convinced, and the losses of the Shimazu family will only be more heavy if they continue to fight, and there is no chance of victory, Shimazu Mitsuhisa must consider the Tokugawa shogunate, and he can only bear the burden of humiliation and negotiate with the Ming Dynasty now.

According to the original plan, the Shimazu clan was ready to kill Qian Bingrup and blame the Tokugawa shogunate, but because Qian Bingrup had already recognized the identity of the Shimazu family and knew that Xu Junsheng, who was pretending to be the shogunate, had fled back, he put Qian Bingrup under house arrest first.

After seeing the artillery of the Ming army, the Shimazu family had no means of countermeasures at all, and Shimazu Mitsujiu waited for the Ming army's artillery fire to stop, and invited Qian Bingrup out.

Xu Junsheng walked in, and Qian Bingjian also saw him, and then motioned for Xu Junsheng to sit down next to him.

As soon as he sat down, Shimazu Mitsuhisa led several Shimazu samurai and bowed his head to the two of them, "The contemptible Japanese Matsudaira Satsuma Morimitsuhisa, for the previous incident, I would like to express my deep apologies to the Ming Kingdom!" โ€

Japan worshiped the strong, the first battle of Baijiangkou, the Tang Dynasty for a thousand years, and after the war of conquest of Korea, it was honest for two or three hundred years. Whoever is strong will obey whom, the 150 warships of the Satsuma Domain were completely annihilated by the Ming army, and the Ming army's shelling of the Tiger Shou Maru made Shimazu Mitsuhisa completely subdued.

Xu Junsheng originally thought that when he arrived at Hushou Maru, he still needed to play a game with the Shimazu family and conduct a negotiation, but he didn't want to, as soon as he came in, the Shimazu family had already released Qian Bingji, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa also took the lead in giving in, he was going to reprimand the Shimazu family, but now he couldn't vent it.

The other party has already admitted his mistake, and if he is unforgiving, he will seem a little domineering and lose the demeanor of a great country.

Qian Bingjian is the mastermind, since it has been released, then this matter must be decided by him, Xu Junsheng looked at Shimazu Mitsuhisa and the others who bowed their heads and apologized, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he glanced at Qian Bingjian, the latter nodded, and then said in a sullen voice: "Satsuma Shou!" This matter has developed so far, and it is not solved by an apology, you know? โ€

hijacked the envoy ship of the Ming army, killed nearly 200 Ming troops, detained the envoy, and the problem of Ryukyu, the Shimazu family wanted to admit his mistake, so he asked the Ming to let him go, which was obviously unlikely.

Listening to Qian Bingru's words, Shimazu Mitsuhisa pressed his hands on his knees, bowed his head again, obviously knew this in his heart, he was already mentally prepared to accept punishment, "Your Excellency, Satsuma is willing to accept the sanctions of the Ming Kingdom and compensate for the losses of the Ming Dynasty!" โ€

Qian Bingjian was a little surprised by the change in the attitude of the Satsuma Domain, this speed was a bit fast, before they had bitten the bullet and attacked the mission, but now the Ming Dynasty did not even mention the conditions, so they accepted it.

This change in the attitude of the Shimazu family was naturally due to the fact that the Ming army destroyed the Satsuma naval army and shelled the Torajumaru.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa is so refreshing, Qian Bingrup can't come up with conditions for a while, he has been under house arrest for several months, and he doesn't know what changes have been made in the requirements of the imperial court, and he needs to talk to Xu Junsheng.

"Satsuma Mamoru, please prepare a quiet room for us, let's talk first!" At that moment, Qian Bingrup stood up and said.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa did not refuse, "I will arrange this and wait like this, I hope that Your Excellency can put forward the conditions as soon as possible, and Satsuma will definitely do his best to reach a peace agreement as soon as possible." โ€

Saying that, a retainer immediately got up and took Qian Bingjian and Xu Junsheng away from the hall, and as soon as they left, a samurai who was lying behind Shimazu Mitsuhisa raised his head, looked at Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and asked with anger on his face: "Domain lord, does the Shimazu family really want to give in to the Ming Kingdom and promise all the conditions of the Ming Kingdom?" โ€

It was Shimazu Hisao who spoke, the nine men of the Satsuma generation domain, and another younger brother of Shimazu Mitsuhisa.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa still maintained a kneeling posture forward, he listened to the voice, glanced back at Shimazu Hisao, and then said in a deep voice. "The strength of the Ming Kingdom, you have seen it, admitting defeat to an opponent who is stronger than yourself is not a shameful thing, knowing that you can't win, you have to die, that is the death of a dog, it is the real shame! Being able to bow down to a powerful being, and then learn from him and surpass him is the spirit of Japan! There is no shame in losing to the powerful Ming Kingdom, but on the contrary, it is actually an opportunity for the Shimazu family. โ€

Shimazu Hisao is more than 20 years younger than Shimazu Mitsuhisa, he is young and vigorous, and he can't understand Shimazu Mitsuhisa's words.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa did not mean to explain in detail, but continued without doubt: "The shogunate has locked the country, and the Ming country has left us far behind, after this incident, you follow Jiuzhi to the Ming Dynasty, see the powerful Tang soil, and then bring the system, culture, and technology of the Ming Kingdom back to Satsuma." โ€

Although Shimazu Hisao is young, he still knows that it is precisely because of the Tang envoy and the Taika reform that there is today's Japan.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was saying that Qian Bingrup and Xu Junsheng had returned to the hall, and he hurriedly and solemnly bowed his head and saluted.

Qian Bingrup was attacked, and he was under house arrest for several months, and he hated the Shimazu clan very much, but Shimazu Mitsuhisa was like this, and he didn't have a good seizure.

After sitting down again, Qian Bingrup immediately spoke: "Satsuma Shou, after deliberation, I have proposed five resolutions for this incident. โ€

"Your Excellency, Lord, please speak!"

Qian Bingrup nodded, "First, the Shimazu clan will send someone to my court to apologize, and the two sides will keep peace!" Second, Ryukyu was a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shimazu clan was not allowed to interfere in Ryukyu affairs again in the future, and returned the Ryukyus tribute. Article 3, open trade, allow Ming merchants to enter the Satsuma domain to do business freely, Satsuma tariffs need to be negotiated with the Ming Dynasty. Fourth, if a Ming merchant violates the law in Satsuma, the Satsuma clan needs to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming side will conduct the trial. Fifth, the Shimazu clan compensated the Ming military with 1 million taels of silver, and paid another 50,000 taels to redeem the 2,000 prisoners and the body of Shimazu Tadaro. โ€

Shimazu Mitsuhisa listened carefully, the Satsuma Domain was defeated, the first and second articles naturally had nothing to say, the third and fourth questions were relatively big, Shimazu Mitsuhisa felt that it was very wrong, but he couldn't say why, but he knew that once he agreed, the tariffs of the Satsuma Domain would lose their autonomy, and the laws and regulations would also be interfered with, but these were the price of defeat, and the issue of trade opening was in the shogunate, he agreed, and the shogunate did not agree, and the two articles of the Ming Kingdom were equal to white mention.

For the Shimazu family, the key is still Article 5, the compensation of 1 million taels and the redemption cost of 50,000 taels cannot be taken out by the Satsuma Domain.

"Your Excellency, the first four Satsuma can agree, but the last one, the Shimazu family really can't come up with so much money." After listening to Shimazu Mitsuhisa, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly lowered his head and said.

The loss of the Ming Dynasty's mission, the pension of the personnel, and the cost of this dispatch will not add up to more than 400,000, but it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to reimburse the Shimazu clan, Xu Junsheng even wants two million, but the Satsuma Domain has a lot of money in the Ming Dynasty, Qian Bingrup pressed it, and decided to ask for one million.

"A million, not a tael of silver!" Qian Bingrup didn't speak, but Xu Junsheng said immediately.

The Ming army can't make a trip to get a capital guarantee, he is not a literati, and there is not so much morality to talk about.

Seeing this, Qian Bingjian could only echo and said: "Satsuma Mamoru Mamoru, one million is already the best condition that Ben Envoy can fight for you, the Shimazu family can't take it out at once, you can pay it back according to the year, the gold and silver are not enough, you can use the goods to pay off the debt." โ€

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was silent for a while, the reason why the Satsuma clan was keen on smuggling trade, to a certain extent, was actually forced by the shogunate, after the defeat of the Western Army, the Tokugawa shogunate was in the Edo area, and there were sixty or seventy thousand people directly under the shogunate, plus there were more than 100,000 people in the surrounding clans, which made the Shimazu family such an external daimyo breathless.

The shogunate asked him to build roads, so they had to pay to build roads, and if they wanted to build temples, they had to pay for temples, and the Shimazu family did not engage in smuggling, and the feudal treasury had already been exhausted by the shogunate.

Seeing that the envoy of the Ming Kingdom did not let go, Shimazu Mitsuhisa's face was silent for a while, and there was no smuggling trade to do in the future, and he could not get benefits from the Ryukyus, Japan was poor, and the Shimazu family had to deal with the oppression of the shogunate, how could he get so much silver.

Qian Bingrup waited for a while, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa suddenly said: "Your Excellency, the Satsuma Domain really can't take out so much silver, but Satsuma has a gold mountain in Nagano, but the shogunate does not allow mining, if Your Excellency can persuade the shogunate, Satsuma is willing to mine with the Ming Dynasty as compensation." โ€

"Jinshan?"

Xu Junsheng exclaimed, but Qian Bingrup next to him was calmer, the Ming Dynasty and Japan are so far apart, it may not be easy to mine, and since the shogunate stopped it, presumably this matter still needs the consent of the shogunate, Shimazu Mitsuhisa may also be using the Ming Dynasty to force the shogunate to agree to the Shimazu family to re-mine, but if the Shimazu family really has no money, this gold mine can indeed be used to pay off debts.

Qian Bingjian pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, the shogunate will be told by the envoy, but after the envoy makes it clear, the mining of this gold mine will be discussed again, and Satsuma Shou can have an opinion!" โ€

"Contemptible people have no opinion!"

Nagano's gold mines, Shimazu Mitsuhisa began to order the old Shimazu Hisashi to preside over the mining in 1640, but in 1643 under the intervention of the shogunate, it has been more than eight years, the Shimazu clan this time the loss is huge, Shimazu Mitsuhisa really intends to use the strength of the Ming Kingdom, to resume mining.

Qian Bingjian heard this, and then bowed slightly, "Okay, take the pen and paper, let's sign the contract!" โ€
