However, Mei Chuan Shangyi didn't expect that as soon as his convoy appeared on the streets of Jingshi, it ushered in the impact of more Ming people, as long as they could get their hands on it, they would smash it on the car. This carriage was smashed with countless holes at once. By the time the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were patrolling the streets came to reinforce him, he already had several more bags on his head.

As a result, Mei Chuan Shangyi was extremely depressed in his heart, touching his extra bags, and couldn't help but regret thinking that if he knew that this would be the case, he wouldn't have to hit his head with silver!

When he came back to his senses, he decided that no matter what, he must seek justice when he turned back. Those Ming people ran away if they smashed it, and there was no way to catch it, but these Ming soldiers who escorted them definitely couldn't escape!

Finally arrived at Honglu Temple, and these Japanese people were relieved. Looking at each other's embarrassment, they all had a thought in their hearts, when did the people of Daming turn out to be so cruel, and Daming was like a tiger's den in Longtan to them?

Umegawa Shangyi didn't clean himself up, and even deliberately made himself a little more embarrassed in the carriage, and then got out of the carriage, snorted coldly at the escorting general, and then handed over the credentials.

He has thought about it, and when Honglu Siqing comes out, he must complain on the spot, and it is best to execute them in public and beat them to death in front of him unless he sees them with his own eyes, so as to relieve the depression in his chest.

However, what he didn't expect was that when the national letter was handed over, he didn't see Honglu Siqing coming out, but the little official who went in to tell him came back, and threw the national letter to Meichuan Shangyi with a cold face, and said coldly: "As a Ming vassal state, your Wa Kingdom has invaded my Daming Dynasty many times, is this still a vassal country?" Get lost! ”

As soon as he heard this, Umegawa Shangyi was startled, and suddenly forgot about what he wanted to sue, his brain teaser turned, and while picking up the national letter, he hurriedly replied with a smile: "No, we are the most etiquette." If the Celestial Empire cares about the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, it is not the will of our vassal state, but the actions of a few robbers in our country. Our vassal kingdom is also trying its best to fight and prevent them from harassing the Celestial Empire! ”

When he said this, he suddenly came back to his senses a little in his heart, could it be because of those things in the past, so the Ming Kingdom is now very hostile to the Wa Kingdom, right? But even so, it's the south side of the Ming River, and it has nothing to do with the north! Why are the people of the north so cruel to their own people?

When the little official heard this, he sneered and said, "You still dare to quibble, what does it mean to invade and occupy Korea twice during the Wanli period?" Is it still the enemy of the heavenly soldiers, and it is also the work of a few robbers in the Wa Kingdom? ”

"......" When Umegawa Shangyi heard this, he was stunned, and immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied, "It was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's monkey, and my general just couldn't see such a disobedience to the kingdom, so he raised an army to overthrow Toyotomi Hideyoshi's monkey." “

When the little official heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with disdain: "I dare to say that I understand etiquette, but everything is pushed clean." Do you want to face? Such a country that does not know etiquette, righteousness and shame is also worthy of being a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, and it is already good if I don't crusade against you in the Ming Dynasty, get out! ”

Get out, that's impossible, Umegawa Shangyi has a major mission, if he can't complete the task, the country is in danger!

He didn't care about the person in front of him at this time, he was just a small official, and solemnly presented the national letter, and took out another holy decree and said: "The Ming Taizu has a decree, my country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a country that does not levy, this is an ironclad fact, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

After hardening for a while, he immediately softened again, and said with a smile again: "In the past, our general knew that he was ashamed, so this tribute came with sincerity, and please pass it on again!" ”

Moved out of Emperor Taizu, then there was no way, the little official was a little depressed and re-entered to pray, and after half a salary, he accompanied a green-robed petty official out and ordered them to go in.

When Umegawa Shangyi saw it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly thanked him, and just when he wanted to go in, he felt the pain in his head again, so he remembered that these Ming soldiers who were escorted came.

Therefore, he immediately complained to the green-robed petty official: "This lord, this envoy came to the Heavenly Empire to pay tribute, but he was besieged by the Diao people all the way, but these guards who were responsible for escorting did not do their best at all. My lord, please look at the bag of this messenger's head, all of which were suffered along the way. These soldiers are so derelict in their duties, please punish them severely! ”

Hearing this, the other people of the Wa Kingdom all nodded again and again, looking at the Ming soldiers who escorted them with hatred, and waited to look good, after all, even the envoys were full of thoughts, and they could see it at a glance, and the evidence was conclusive.

What they didn't expect was that the green-robed petty official heard this, but replied coldly: "You Japanese people, it's already good to be able to go to Beijing alive." The people who still want to make things difficult for you to escort you are really wolf-hearted, people from an ungrateful country! ”

When Mei Chuan Shangyi heard this, he was stunned, is this okay? Is there such a statement?

Not only him, but all the people of the Japanese country were stupid, they never expected that the result of a complaint would be in exchange for such an answer.

The green-robed petty officer ignored them, and said to the escorting general with a kind face: "You have worked hard all the way, go through the formalities and go back!" “

"Thank you, sir!" The general hurriedly saluted and said, "If it weren't for the military order, I would have wanted to beat up these widows!" ”

After finishing speaking, he led his subordinates to go through the formalities and go back.

Watching them leave, and even seeing a few soldiers spitting "bah", Umegawa Shangyi and the others were a little dumbfounded. At this time, they felt a strong hostility. I thought it was just some Diao people, but now it seems that the Ming Dynasty is hostile to them, including civil officials and military people!

This is not the kind of treatment that the envoys who came to pay tribute in the past! Umegawa Shangyi thought in his heart and decided that no matter what, he had to ask to understand, otherwise if it went on like this, life would be too sad!

After hitting the wall several times, he finally smashed open an uncle who cleaned his place with fifty taels of silver.

Seeing that this uncle was a little evasive, he took fifty taels of silver, and hid in Meichuan Shangyi's room, so he dared to speak: "If you have any questions, ask quickly, if someone else sees me, I will be poked in the back!"

Mei Chuan Shangyi was a little puzzled, but he couldn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly asked: "This envoy wants to understand, why are we Japanese people so unpopular in the Celestial Empire, as if everyone is shouting and beating?" ”

The sweeping master listened to this, and replied with such a face: "Our Ming Dynasty was miserable by Jianjiao, and in the past, Liaodong and Gyeonggi didn't know how many people were killed and their families were destroyed!" In everyone's hearts, they all remember. ”

Umegawa Shangyi was stunned when he heard it, and he still couldn't figure out the logic after a while, so he had to ask: "But...... But what does the evil thing that Jianyu has done to have anything to do with our Wa Kingdom? ”

"How can it be okay?" The sweeping uncle said with a look of contempt: "Speaking of which, it's not a good thing for you to do!"

Umegawa Shangyi continued to be confused......

"If it weren't for your invasion of our Korean province, our Ming army wouldn't have to go through thousands of mountains and rivers to support. To fight a war is to kill people, and it costs money. Before and after twice, how many people died in our Ming Dynasty and how much money was spent, do you know? Jianyu took advantage of this opportunity to rise and scourge the Ming Dynasty after your Wa Kingdom. Tell me, do you want to settle your account? ”

Sounding reasonable, Umegawa Shangyi nodded, suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I mean that this matter is still Jianyu is the main master, and Daming should go to Jianyu no matter what......"

Before he finished his words, he was unceremoniously interrupted by Uncle Sweeper: "Nonsense, so our Majesty drove the expedition in person and directly destroyed Jianyu." But you are accomplices, so we Ming people are not allowed to hate you? Let me tell you, now that our Ming Dynasty is strong, the adults are discussing, and we must also ask for justice from your country!"

Hearing this, Umegawa Shangyi was not calm. This needs justice, what kind of justice is it? Anyway, no matter what justice you want, it will have an impact on your mission to envoy Daming.

He was still thinking about it, but the sweeping uncle was saying again: "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you are not considered an accomplice......

Upon hearing this, Umegawa Shangyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even a rare trace of gratitude appeared on his face. The Celestial Empire, the Manchu Dynasty, and the civil and military dynasties, it is estimated that none of them have the knowledge of this sweeping uncle!

When he was about to boast, he heard the sweeping uncle continue: "You widows are one of the original culprits!" How many people died in your hands over there in our Ming Dynasty Korean Province, and now they are all strongly asking the court to make decisions for them, to take revenge, and to destroy the Japanese country like destroying Jianyu! ”

"......" Umegawa Shangyi was stupid when he heard it, he didn't expect this twist.

The sweeping uncle felt that he had almost said it, touched the silver in his arms, thought about it for a while, and said: "Actually, the wolf heart and dog lungs of your Japanese country are also famous. Thanks to our Ming Taizu, you are listed as a country that is not levyed. The result was good, he invaded North Korea that year, and then wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty. Don't admit it, we are not three-year-olds and can be deceived by you. ”

It wasn't until the sweeping uncle walked for a long time that Meichuan Shangyi came back to his senses.

In fact, the Tokugawa shogun considered that he would encounter difficulties in asking for help from the Ming Dynasty. It is for this reason that this tribute was prepared very richly, and I heard that the emperor of the country was young and vigorous, and he specially selected five beauties to come over. originally thought that after this, coupled with the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that the Ming Dynasty should have a high probability of sending troops to help.

However, what he never expected was that now Da Ming has such an attitude towards the Wa Kingdom, which is really unexpected to him, what should he do next? Umegawa was a little dazed.

Think about it, every sweeper in the Ming Dynasty knows this, not to mention those scholars, those civil officials and military generals.

Umegawa Naoyi realized that he couldn't fool him just by replying to the little clerk at the door before. But fortunately, after all, there are Emperor Taizu's words left there, at least there is room to turn around.

Alas, there is no way, let's take one step at a time!

He didn't expect that after this sweeping uncle left Honglu Temple, he went directly to Dongchang to report and handed over all the silver he gave, and also told the process of dialogue between the two sides. Not long after, Wang Chengen reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen again.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let this matter ferment a little more, and in a few days, I will hold a court meeting to discuss this matter!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Chengen listened, and a sycophant slapped it. From the beginning to the end of this matter, the people from Dongchang were secretly guiding and participating, and he understood that the situation was under the control of the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, so he went to chat with Wen Tiren privately in the chat group, explained things to him, and turned back to the court, he didn't plan to go into battle in person.

In fact, Wen Tiren had already guessed the emperor's attitude before. The remarks about the Wa Kingdom appeared when the emperor inspected Yongping Mansion and accompanied the denunciation of Jianyu, and it intensified. If you want to say that there is nothing to do with the emperor behind this, you can't believe it when you kill Wen Tiren!

Now when I heard the emperor's explanation, it was indeed so. Wen Tiren was not a diehard, otherwise he would not be able to be the first assistant and become the emperor's confidant and minister, so he immediately complied and prepared according to the emperor's wishes.

Three days later, a court meeting was held to formally discuss the submission of credentials by the Wa State and the request for the Ming Dynasty to help eliminate the Jianyu. Umegawa Shangyi, as the messenger, stood below and obediently waited for Daming's reply.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, looked at the courtiers below and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this, and you can play!" ”

At this time, public opinion in Gyeongshi and even in Gyeonggi was one-sided, as long as the eyes were not blind or the ears were not deaf, they knew what the imperial court probably meant. However, just as Emperor Chongzhen feared, there were always some old-fashioned diehards.

Therefore, after the emperor finished saying this, some courtiers came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country came to pay tribute, indicating that it is still my Ming Dynasty is its suzerain, and it is my Ming rebellion, so the minister thinks that he should send troops to fight against it!" ”

Hearing this, he coughed, and immediately someone came out to retort: "In the past, when I sent troops to attack North Korea and was the enemy of my Ming army, did you think that my Ming Dynasty was its suzerain?" Now that I'm in trouble, I think that my Ming Dynasty is the suzerain? The minister thinks that there is no such cheap thing in the world, and I will never be wronged! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another person came out of the queue and followed: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, how many people died in the Korean war, how many people died in my Ming Dynasty, how much money was spent in the treasury, and the previous accounts have not been calculated, and now I want to help them, how can there be such a statement in the world?" ”

"Yes, and the disaster of the Wa Kingdom against my Ming Dynasty back then, it is all empirical evidence, the Wa Kingdom is a country of repeated villains, and it can't be helped!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the Wa Kingdom obviously coveted my Daming. The minister suggested that now our Ming Dynasty is strong enough, anyway, Jianyu is also there, just settle accounts together, destroy the Japanese country, and benefit the people of the world! ”

“……”

Listening to the almost one-sided court discussion, and it seemed that the more it was discussed, the more unfavorable it would be to the Wa Kingdom, Umegawa Shangyi couldn't stand still, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down vigorously. We can't go on like this, we have to reverse the situation.

The Tokugawa shogunate was able to send him over, and of course he had a certain ability. He understands that the only way to deal with it now is to grasp one key point, and then distinguish the others, or there is a way out.

Therefore, he couldn't care about it, and immediately took a few steps forward, lay on the ground, and shouted loudly in a straight voice: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the small country has something to say!" ”

It stands to reason that this is not in line with etiquette, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't care, just nodded, which can be regarded as approval.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese Invaders of the year were also vigorously attacked, they harassed the Celestial Empire, and it was not what the Despicable Country wanted, and their crimes were not in the Contempt Country!"

As soon as Umegawa Shangyi said this, an imperial historian stood up and shouted: "Shut up, one, two Japanese coars, you can say this reasonably, but how many Japanese cowards came back then?" Is this the result of your hard work, or your encouragement, or your incompetence? Hehe, not guilty? ”

When Umegawa Shangyi heard this, he hurriedly wanted to distinguish and explain in detail the situation of the Japanese Kingdom at that time, but this was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. Seeing so many civil and military generals of the Ming Kingdom looking at him, and the emperor also looking at him, he felt a lot of pressure, and after thinking about it, he avoided this matter and decided to explain what could be explained clearly: "Your Majesty, the invasion of Korea back then was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. My general just couldn't see him offending the Celestial Empire, so he raised an army to resist. Its sin, in Toyotomi Hideyoshi also! ”

"Full of quibbles!" Another civil official came out to refute, "Isn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi a Japanese national? Who is the king of your kingdom? Will I come to make amends afterwards? Repentant? He violates my Daming every day, can he just take someone out to blame me and fool my Daming? ”

When Umegawa Shangyi heard this, he wanted to say that the system of the Wa Kingdom was different from the Ming system, and their king was just a decoration, but this kind of thing could not be explained clearly in a few words. Even if you say that, it is estimated that the Ming Kingdom will say that the Tokugawa family has no one to make amends, the same reason!

He was thinking about it, when he saw the courtiers of the Ming Kingdom come out and play loudly: "Your Majesty, the Korean Province has sent a letter to the people, all saying that the Japanese country scourged North Korea back then, just like Jianyu, and I implore the imperial court to send troops to make decisions for the Korean people, and destroy Jianlu and the Japanese country together!" ”

“……”

He looked at the court, a pair of eyes that looked at him, and there were almost few eyes that were sympathetic, more angry. Hearing a new round of performances, there are signs of intensification.

Thinking of the anger of the people of Daming that he felt all the way over, and then looking at the front of him, Meichuan Shangyi knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he immediately played loudly: "The envoy of the small country is here, that is, my king wants to come to Daming to make amends, and my king wants the little envoy to understand first, how to make amends to make the kingdom angry, and my king should be prepared." The small country is the country that the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty has not conquered, and my king is willing to be a vassal country of the Celestial Empire for generations, and there will never be two hearts! ”

Faced with the worry of destroying the country, Umegawa Shoyi knew in his heart that it was not impossible for the emperor to personally come to Ming Province to ask for guilt, and the shogun would send a proton to accompany him. Such a price has been opened, you Daming always have to be faced, haven't you been accusing us of not acting before, this is always okay, see what else you have to say?

His words, the civil officials in the palace will not be able to accept it, and it must be decided by the emperor, so everyone turned their heads to look at the emperor and listened to his decision.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Meichuan Shangyi and said coldly: "It seems that you also know that you are guilty!" Now that I've admitted it, I don't want to say more. In this way, the losses caused by your Japanese kingdom to my Ming Dynasty are not counted as the invasion of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty by the Japanese invaders. On the North Korean side alone, the casualties caused by our Ming soldiers and civilians, as well as the large amount of money and food paid by our Ming Dynasty, are all caused by your Japanese country. As long as you can compensate for this, I will not be held accountable, how about it? ”

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, Emperor Ming had already taken a step back, and only compensated for the reparations of the two Korean Wars, which should not be much. Since it can be solved with money, it is not a problem, anyway, there is Iwami Yinshan here, and it would be good to increase production at most.

Thinking so, he crawled to the ground and hurriedly replied: "Thank you for Your Majesty's generosity, the envoy of the small country thinks that this is a reasonable move, I don't know how much compensation should be paid?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head to look at the Hubu Shangshu.

Bi Ziyan immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is also troublesome to calculate carefully, so it is better to compensate me for half of the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty for a year!" ”

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he immediately thought about it in his heart, Daming's annual treasury income, I heard that it was more than two million taels, and half of it, at most more than one million taels, this price can reveal the past history, and by the way, it seems that it is quite cost-effective to ask Daming to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Thinking of this, he was afraid that these courtiers who were eyeing him would object, so he immediately replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the small country thinks that this is a reasonable move, and there is no problem!" ”
