It has been almost two years since the establishment of the Far Eastern Kingdom, and the Mutsu Kingdom is the closest place to Ezo Island, and the people here know all kinds of information about the Far Eastern Kingdom, of course, it is all some negative information, especially the Japanese on Ezo Island, they are all hated to the core, and the Ainu are aborigines, and the Han are invaders, neither of them is Japanese, they don't hate it very much.

Not to mention outsiders, the old man himself hated his youngest son, and the Japanese people's national unity is very high, and it is probably the first time in history that such a rape is like his son.

"Father, son, I am just an ordinary civilian, I can't control political matters, I can only ensure the safety of my family, how can you put all the responsibility on my head? It's as if I'm Matsumae Kohiro. Kogoro Harada felt wronged, and he argued.

"Oh! You're still reasonable! You see what you're dressed like? is completely dressed as a foreign devil, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of a person? The old man was still angry, and he pointed to Harada Kogoro's weird casual suit and questioned him.

"This ...... In our country, since His Majesty launched the New Life Movement, we have all worn new clothes designed by His Majesty himself, and if my son still wears a kimono, he will be an anomaly, just like my father, you can't get used to my clothes. ”

"Yo! Your Majesty is so affectionate! He's an aggressor, don't you know? What are you not an adulterer? You said. ”

"Your Majesty is not an aggressor, he is the most merciful and wise monarch in the world, he does not discriminate against any race, he treats them equally, even Han Chinese.

Will any invaders care about the suffering of the toiling masses? Will there be aggressors who will repeatedly raise the basic rights of the people? Has an invader invaded a foreign land and ordered his army not to invade the common people? ”

"You...... You rebel, you say that you are a traitor, and you really haven't wronged you, and you are so grateful to Dade for helping outsiders to speak, this is the land of Japan, foreigners like you are not welcome, you go back to Ezo Island. "The old man was half angry with him, how can there be a person who tries his best to say good things for the invaders, what is this not a rape? He was so angry that he pointed at his youngest son's nose and cursed.

"Father, why do I have a different opinion than yours? If you don't believe it, you can go to Ezo with your son, don't talk, go and listen to it yourself, and see for yourself the mentality of the people on Ezo Island, and see why this is happening, is it forced by the invaders? Or support from the heart, as long as you stay for half a year, you will be clear. At that time, you are still so angry with your son, and your son is willing to be beaten to death by his father.

Aggression is not terrible, as long as it does not enslave the people, it will not have much impact on us ordinary people, it will only affect the interests of the upper rulers. Harada Kogoro saw that his father was still so angry, the two people had different views, and it was impossible to persuade his parents to go to Sapporo with him in ordinary ways to enjoy happiness, so he used the method of agitation.

Although the old man was very angry, he still listened to his son's words, at least it is true that this group of invaders does not harm ordinary people, they only deal with the government and the army, even the officials' homes do not invade, this is very rare, not to mention foreigners, even the civil war between countries, it is not less harmful to the common people.

It is normal for the other one or two to be raped, and it is very abnormal for all people to become adulteres, which also aroused the curiosity of the old man, and it is not a taste for him to stay at home and be scolded by the neighbors pointing to the backbone, so it is good to go to Ezo Island to see, so the old man pretended to be angry and said: "Okay! I'll go with you and see, I don't believe you dare to do anything to me this bad old man. ”

Although Harada Kogoro suffered from the white eyes and insults of his hometown, he finally achieved his wish, and early the next morning, he secretly took his parents away.

The other protagonist, Tadashi Sakai, after saying goodbye to Yang Rentian, he hurried back to Edo overnight, Yang Rentian only gave three days, he didn't have time to waste, and he didn't dare to slack off.

When he arrived in Edo, he went directly to the shogun's palace without even returning home, and still respectfully paid homage.

"Hurry up, please! Sakai-sama has worked hard, how is it? What conditions do they want? ”

When Sakai Tadashi paid homage to him, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't wait to ask him.

"There are not many conditions, only three, but two will make it very difficult for the general. The first of the conditions they offered was......" Sakai Tadashi said the conditions set by Yang Wenli 1510.

"What? Actually want our dignified Japanese Dynasty to be a minister, even the Ming Dynasty can't do it, he is a small country, there are only one million people, why?

In addition, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to change his name, and it is to change it to the insulting title of "Emperor Wa", it is even more impossible, how can I, as a courtier, have the right to ask the emperor to change his name? ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu listened to Sakai Tadashi's retelling of the three-point demand, and immediately jumped up and strongly objected, and he could only accept the demand for reparations.

"The old minister also strongly objected at the time, but the thief's general had no doubts, and threatened to step on Edo if our country did not agree to his conditions."

"It's just too deceitful, this is forcing me to fight to the death, okay! I'll fight them......"

"Slow! General, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder, the old minister boldly said, my country really can't fight that gang of strong criminals. They are too strong, there are nearly 20,000 elite cavalry, all of them are extremely strong, the most important thing is that they have advanced weapons and equipment, what Matsudaira said, it is not wrong at all, our side can't get close at all, it's useless to have a large number of people, or don't make senseless sacrifices. ”

"Sakai-sama, are they really that powerful?" Tokugawa Iemitsu asked unrelentingly.

"That's right! This is what the old minister saw with his own eyes, all the big names and families along the way, all of them are not the same enemy, their attack speed is if they march lightly, effortlessly, whether it is a castle fortress, whether it is strong or weak, there is no difference, they are all on the ground, they are even stronger than the general you imagined. ”

"Ahh How is this good, is it that the heavens are going to kill my Tokugawa family? Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart was like ashes when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"General, don't be pessimistic, the leader of the thieves also said a very special word, according to the old minister, it seems to be quite meaningful, and it seems that the puppet king of the thieves has emphasized it very much." Sakai Tadashi calmly comforted Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"What's that?" Tokugawa Iemitsu asked eagerly as if he had found a life-saving straw.

He said...... As long as the shogun agreed to his three demands, they recognized the shogunate as the sole legitimate government of Japan, with the implication that no one, including His Majesty the Emperor, could overthrow the shogun's rule and replace him.

In addition, our country has been honored as a minister, it is possible that they will give our country military assistance, with their strong military strength to rely on, the old minister thinks about it, the general will be able to sit back and relax.

Strictly speaking, it is a requirement for our country to be called a vassal and the emperor to change the title, after all, their puppet king only dares to be called king, and it seems unreasonable to ask His Majesty the Emperor to call him a vassal.

At the same time, doing these two things is also the basis for them to intervene and ensure the long-term rule of the shogunate, so in the eyes of the old ministers, it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Hmm......" Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded in agreement.
