204 The battle between the Admiral and the Commander

Kuroda Rushui, if I remember correctly, it should be that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Zhuge Liang, known as the Kuroda Kanbei of the world's famous military division, helped Toyotomi Hideyoshi lay the hegemonic strategist all the way, quite difficult to deal with, but it is a pity that he later separated from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, otherwise the Toyotomi clan would not have fallen so fast, but he is now coming as a replacement for Tokugawa Ieyasu, that is to say, Kuroda Rushui took refuge in Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Xiao Ruxun felt a little strange, but thinking about it, this was also some side reaction caused by his appearance, right? I remember that in the original history, Kuroda Rushui had the ambition to dominate the world, but in the face of Tokugawa Ieyasu's overwhelming strength, he still chose to give up the struggle for hegemony, and died in the mountains and forests, not asking about the world.

Now, the negotiating opponent is him, and this guy is definitely not easy to fool.

"Mr. Kuroda knows all the seven requirements of the Ming Dynasty before, right?"

Kuroda nodded: "Of course." ā€

"The third, fourth, and fifth articles of the article, regarding the request for the opening of the port for trade, have Tokugawa already agreed, right?"

Kuroda Rusui still nodded: "Of course." ā€

"Okay, there is nothing to discuss in these places, so next, this one, Japan goes to the emperor, this request is related to the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, why didn't His Excellency Tokugawa and Mr. Kuroda agree?"

Speaking of the key point, Kuroda Rushui is no longer restrained, but gradually shows his edge: "Admiral Xiao, don't you think this article is really too much to bully Japan?" Japan is not Korea, and the Ming Dynasty has no subordinate relationship, has always been independent, on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty, never called a vassal, and has never been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, this is one of them.

Second, the initiator of this war was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who insisted on going his own way regardless of the opposition of the majority of the people, and forced the war, and there were also a large number of opponents in our country, and His Excellency Tokugawa was a staunch opponent, so he put forward the idea of overthrowing the Toyotomi clan and thought of cooperating with the Ming Dynasty, but I waited for a piece of sincerity, but Admiral Xiao turned a blind eye, and instead let my country surrender to the national status and become a vassal. ā€

Xiao Ruxun nodded, not as angry as Kuroda Rushui expected.

"It is true that the Ming Dynasty does not have a vassal relationship with Japan, which the Governor admits, but even if it becomes a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that it will become a vassal state after being defeated by the Ming Dynasty. North Korea is the most loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and has always been protected by the Ming Dynasty, and this time it spared no effort to send troops to restore the country for Korea.

Mr. Kuroda, let's put aside Toyotomi Hideyoshi and talk about Japan alone, and let Japan become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it a good thing for Japan? Isn't it a good thing for Japan to be able to get the protection of the Ming Dynasty, to trade with the Ming Dynasty, to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, to get the Ming Dynasty's edict, to get the recognition of the Ming Dynasty, and to have normal dealings with the Ming Dynasty? ā€

Kuroda Rushui smiled and said: "It is with this in mind that His Excellency Tokugawa agreed to the three articles of trade, and because the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, he agreed to let the Ming Dynasty manage the Ming merchants in our country by himself, and even lease land to the Ming Dynasty, which is already Japan's greatest sincerity, but our country is isolated overseas, and there has never been any foreign invasion, and there is no need to work for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to protect, so it is not necessary to become a vassal state, and the two countries have peaceful exchanges and normal transportation, isn't it beautiful?" ā€

Xiao Ruxun was not angry, and said: "It's normal for people to think like this, some countries are vassals to the Ming Dynasty, but they are called emperors internally, which also exists, and the Ming Dynasty doesn't care very much, but your Japanese emperor is really dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor is called the Son of Heaven, the son of heaven, and the emperor of your country is called the Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven, and only one of the three ancient emperors can be called the emperor in my country, you are like this, but you don't know where to put my Son of Heaven?" ā€

Although Xiao Ruxun's tone was light, the threat in his words was very strong, and Kuroda Rushui knew very well that any factor could be an excuse for the Ming Dynasty to start a war against Japan, so he couldn't be sloppy.

"The Ming Dynasty and Japan are two countries, the customs are different, the titles are different, and the understanding between each other is also different, it may be a very critical topic in the Ming Dynasty, but in Japan it is commonplace, it is normal, and it doesn't matter, and whether it is the Emperor of Japan, or the Emperor of Japan, in fact, they are all emperors of a country, and for my people, there is no difference, why does the Admiral have to be so demanding on the title?

What's more, the title of the emperor of our country has been in place since 2,000 years ago, and it has never changed for a thousand years, and if the emperor name is suddenly changed, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the whole of Japan.

Admiral, Your Excellency Tokugawa is going to replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the Japanese shogun to hold power, the first thing is to stabilize the rule, if the people's hearts are fluctuating and the imperial family is dissatisfied, how can Your Excellency Tokugawa replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi and take charge of Japan and make peace with the Ming Dynasty? Please think twice before you act! ā€

Kuroda Rushui's words were quite sincere, Xiao Ruxun couldn't find any good reason to refute it, of course, Xiao Ruxun didn't want to refute it.

"You and I have different opinions on this issue, let's leave it alone for now! With regard to the request of the Japanese Imperial Family to send protons to the Korean government in order to appease the hearts of Korea, the Governor thought that it was necessary. ā€

Xiao Ruxun chose another topic to unfold, leaving a poor influence on Kuroda Rusui, which made Kuroda Rushui have great confidence in the success of the negotiations, and said: "This admiral thinks it is necessary, but the contemptible people think it is unnecessary, the reason why I say this is because the emperor is not a real emperor, and compared with the Ming Emperor, he has no right to speak in state affairs, even if the imperial family sends protons, neither Toyotomi Hideyoshi nor His Excellency Tokugawa has any binding force." ā€

Xiao Ruxun pretended to be stunned, and hurriedly said: "Then change to Tokugawa Ieyasu to send protons!" ā€

"Admiral Xiao! What is wrong with His Excellency Tokugawa? Need to send protons? Since His Excellency Tokugawa is willing to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi, not only to the Ming Dynasty, but also to Korea. ā€

Xiao Ruxun pretended to be very embarrassed and looked at Kuroda Rushui.

"If you want to say that you are meritorious, your lord is indeed meritorious to my Daming...... In this way, as long as you promise another thing, I can make the decision on these two items, and I will not pursue them. ā€

Kuroda Rusui smiled, "You say." ā€

"We don't want Iwami Country, but all the silver produced in Iwami Silver Mountain must go to the Ming Dynasty."

The smile on Kuroda's face disappeared instantly.
