Shimazu Yoshihiro entered the big formation and saw the head of the family, Shimazu Nakayoko, and in the face of Shimazu Nakayoko's questioning, he just said lightly: "What if you win this battle?" ”

Shimazu Nakayoko said unconvinced: "If you win the battle, you can recapture Yakushima and Tanegashima, and you can also take back Ryukyu." ”

Yoshihiro listened and said disdainfully: "If you win against the Akito, you can take back the Ryukyus?" Have you let tens of thousands of foot light swim across the sea? ”

…… Shimazu Nakayoko was speechless for a while, and it was true that without a strong naval army, it would be impossible to retake the Ryukyus. Even Yakushima and Tanegashima can't get it back.

"Our Shimazu family has three continents, and there are countless ashigaru people, can't we help thousands of Ming people?" Shimazu continued to quibble.

"Hey! Zhongheng, we have suffered heavy losses in this battle. Can the two continents continue to listen to our Shimazu family? Yoshihiro Shimazu said with a sigh.

Shimazu Nakayoko was silent when he heard it, and the two continents were also snatched from others. The Shimazu family, who had suffered heavy losses, really couldn't guarantee how much control they had over those two continents, and it was unknown whether they would be able to quell the rebellion if those two continents rebelled.

Yoshihiro Shimazu continued: "The shogun Tokugawa Hidetada has always regarded us as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and has tried every means to reduce the fiefdom of the Shimazu family. Once our family's strength is greatly damaged, will the shogunate let us go? ”

Listening to Shimazu Yoshihiro's words, cold sweat oozed from Shimazu's forehead. If you really don't care about fighting to the death with the Ming people, even if you win, you will lose both.

At that time, the wolves that are looking around will rush up and eat even a little dregs of the Shimazu family's Satsuma clan.

Even if they copeed through these difficulties, the tiger of the Tokugawa family in the shogunate would not let them go.

In particular, the shogun Tokugawa Hidetada's edict to lock the country, their Satsuma clan soldiers and strong horses have never obeyed.

He has always relied on powerful sailors not only to occupy the Ryukyus, but also to do business with the Ming and Xiyi people.

The Satsuma Domain, which had become the second largest treaty port in Nagasaki, had become the second largest treaty port in Nagasaki, and their smuggling practices had already caused the shogunate to be greatly dissatisfied. If it weren't for the strong soldiers of the Satsuma Domain, the shogunate would definitely send troops to fight.

Today's Satsuma Domain's superficial scenery is actually embattled. If you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return, and it is undoubtedly a self-defeating way to fight with the Ming people.

Shimazu Nakayoko, who was told by Shimazu Yoshihiro, was unwilling to step out of the military formation and asked the Changxing Army to surrender.

After Shimazu Chuyoko made the decision to surrender, the surviving Ashigaru was not only not depressed, but rejoiced.

They finally don't have to attack with Akito's guns, they don't have to worry about when they will be killed by buckshot, and they can finally go home and reunite with their families.

As for who loses and who wins, what does it matter to them? If you lose, it's just a change of head of the family, and you still have to pay the tenant tax, and you can't eat enough to eat the same way. As long as you can live, whoever is the head of the house is the same.

They took the initiative to walk to the open space in front of the formation and threw their knives and guns to the ground. He threw the foot equipment on his body to another pile, and then walked to the side and waited for the Ming to fall.

To their surprise, each of the surrendered Japanese was given a handful of salty and delicious flour.

The Japanese who had been fighting for nearly a day were gluttonous with flour in their hands, and the flour was sent to their mouths indiscriminately, and after a stomach full of water, the ashigaru finally felt full.

When was the last time you had a full stomach? Five days ago? Or seven days ago? If you surrender, you can still have a full stomach, you must know that such a Japanese ashigaru surrendered a long time ago, and he will not hold on until now.

Shimazu Nakayoko raised the sword above his head with both hands and came to Zhang Dou's horse, Zhang Dou's war horse was too tall, and he tried his best to raise his tiptoes to deliver the sword to Zhang Dou's hands.

"The sinner Shimazu Nakagawa Celestial Dynasty surrendered, and asked the general to forgive Shimazu Nakayoko's mistakes and spare the Satsuma clan of the Shimazu family. The Shimazu family will obey the commander's command and never rebel again! Shimazu knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground.

Zhang Dou took Shimazu's sword and said with a smile: "Zhang Dou, the lord of Changsheng Island, accepts your surrender, as long as you sign this contract, you will still be the Ming of the Satsuma Domain." ”

Shimazu Nakayoko quickly stood up, but when he looked at the contract carefully, he saw lines of small print written on it.

The first was to cede Yakushima and Tanegashima to the Nagako Army, and to promise never to invade the Ryukyu Kingdom again.

Article 2: The Satsuma clan compensated the Nagaseong Army for military expenses of 10 million taels of silver (to be paid within 10 years).

Article 3: The Satsuma Domain and Jagishima Island shall grant each other the most favored nation status, and the two sides shall establish consulates in each other.

Article 4: The Satsuma Domain has consular jurisdiction over the island, and any accusation against the people of the island must be adjudicated by the consulate, and the Satsuma domain has no right to directly try the people of the island.

Article 5 The main castle of Minamisatsuma and Kagoshima was opened to treaty ports, and the people of Chosei Island were allowed to come to the Satsuma Domain to do business. The tariff of the Satsuma Domain must be decided in consultation with Chosei Island, and the tariff cannot be unilaterally changed.

These five treaties directly turned the Satsuma Domain into a semi-colony of Yamasei Island, and the economy of the Satsuma Domain would be directly controlled by Yamasei Island in the future.

Shimazu Nakayoko's heart was cold after reading the treaty, and he had to be prepared for the first cession of the two islands.

In other words, he won't spit out the fat that he eats in his mouth, and the third one is nothing, and it seems that it has some benefits for the Satsuma Domain.

Although the fourth article is a bit harsh, the Changxing Army won the war after all, and Shimazu Nakayoko gritted his teeth and admitted such conditions.

The fifth one made him feel pain, but it wasn't unacceptable. Although tariffs cannot be the master, they are still fair trade, and it is not clear who will take advantage of the loss.

Only the second article, Shimazu Nakayoko, no matter what he had, could not agree to pay 10 million taels of silver, even if he sold the entire Satsuma Domain, he could not get so much silver.

The Shimazu family has always spent lavishly, and there is no silver in the treasury. Even the military expenses for this great war were borrowed from merchants, and now that they have been defeated, they don't know how to repay the money, and now it is absolutely impossible for him to come up with a million taels of silver every year.

Shimazu Nakayoko, who had no choice, had to kneel down again and said, "Lord Liaobo of the Kingdom of Shangguoding!" There is no problem with these clauses at all, but the Shimazu family really can't come up with a million taels of silver every year, so please be sure to reduce some of them! ”

Zhang Dou smiled very brightly after listening to Shimazu Zhongheng's words, and he couldn't help but feel a chrysanthemum chill when he saw Shimazu Zhongheng.

"The Shimazu family is too humble, and there are many ways to repay the money. This gentleman of the Lord will be the first consul of Changsheng Island in the Satsuma Domain, and he will ask the head of the family to consult with Consul Du on how to repay the silver! After Zhang Dou finished speaking, he pulled someone past him.

Du Ziteng jumped off the war horse and came to Shimazu Nakayoko, stretched out his hands to pick up Shimazu Nakayoko. With a smile, he said, "The head of the family is so polite, come!" Come! Come! Let's negotiate the Kagoshima Treaty! ”
