After listening to a lot of gossip between the seven aunts and eight aunts, Hao Ning finally couldn't help but yell: "Madam, let's talk about something serious." ”

Suddenly, several distinguished guests present looked at him with unkind eyes. Corning didn't understand why they were looking at them like that, and for so long. Until Chang Gaoyuan, who had the hottest temper among them, said angrily: "We are not your wife. ”

Corning's men were immediately embarrassed, but Corning didn't feel that way at all. Instead, he wondered how arrogant the woman was.

Kang Ning knew this woman, not that he didn't know the use of the word madam, he meant to express that they were all women with status, and they didn't have to listen to the demands of her, a little prince with no name.

Such an attitude, of course, entered Corning at the first time, but his subordinates were all crooked, so that no one stood up to defend Corning, let alone refute it.

But this disregard, not just a personal disregard for Corning, has hindered the smooth progress of the negotiations. Corning didn't want the negotiation process to be dominated by these women, and what good results they could negotiate. What's more, this Chang Gao Yuan, who jumped out to ridicule him, has been busy running for the future of her husband and son all her life, and her husband and son are now Tokugawa Ieyasu's subordinates, but he came to negotiate on behalf of Toyotomi Hideyori, which made Kangning worry that he would betray Toyotomi Hideyori's interests during the negotiation process.

It was precisely because of this thought that Corning had no good impression of this woman. He looked at this guy coldly, and said with a smile: "Madame's negotiation is for Bing'er to find enough future?" I don't know if your son's future is with Tokugawa Ieyasu or with Toyotomi Hideyori? ”

This quote from Corning. Naturally, it is a heart-wrenching word. If the answer is Tokugawa Ieyasu, then why should she work for Toyotomi Hiderai's family! If his answer is from Toyotomi Hideyori, then how can the son who is still under the account of Tokugawa Ieyasu be explained!

Kangning sat there steadily, quietly watching the woman's face become more and more ugly. That alone was not enough for him to reassure. But another fire was added, and the crowd saw him turn and say to the clerk, who was sitting in the corner, "Write down what I have just said, and the answer that Madame is about to make." In order to ensure the fairness and reasonableness of this negotiation. I hope that every word I say here will appear in the original form of the two lords, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori. ”

Chang Gaoyuan's face became even more difficult to see, this opportunity to negotiate was actually won by him on his own initiative, and he naturally knew what he should do, that is, I would sell my nephew's interests at all costs for the sake of my son's future.

Originally, Tokugawa Ieyasu's son was his brother-in-law, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son was his nephew. This can please both sides with an innate advantage. If he doesn't use it, I'm sorry for his political wisdom.

But this wishful thinking was revealed little by little in front of Corning.

It's not just that his face is getting more and more ugly. came to sit opposite the tea bureau, and his face became pale. In the original plan, the two of them could sing a duet in this way to reach an extremely favorable negotiation terms for Tokugawa Ieyasu.

And in the original history. And that's exactly what they did.

Corning's crooked fingers kept tapping on the table next to him, making a dull sound continuously. He is now recalling the original trajectory of history. If it had not been for the intervention of the traversers, the Battle of Osaka Winter, which should have ended a year early, would have won Tokugawa Ieyasu enough benefits at the negotiating table. The magnitude of this benefit far exceeds the actual gains of the war.

Originally, the result of the historical peace talks was that Osaka Castle could only leave the main pill, Ninomaru and Sannomaru had to be demolished, and the ditch had to be filled, and Osamu Ohno and Oda Yurakusai had to be executed, so that a peace agreement could only be reached under harsh conditions. After that, the Tokugawa army arbitrarily carried out the work of filling in the ditch and destroying the castle wall, and although the work was recruited from the daimyo from all over Japan, the demolition work took almost a month, from December 23 to January 19, 1615.

However, history has been changed by Kangning and Boss Huang, and this time, Kangning will definitely not allow Tokugawa Ieyasu to tear down the outer defenses of Osaka Castle. As for the punishment of Osamu Ohno and Oda Yurakusai, that is none of his business. Toyotomi Hideyori naturally gave Tokugawa Ieyasu a satisfactory answer. If even his own subordinates have to be taken out to vent their anger on the enemy, then Toyotomi Hideyori can now cut himself.

What Tokugawa Ieyasu can get in the end is nothing more than Toyotomi Hideyori sitting on the surface, no matter how severe the punishment given on the surface is, Toyotomi Hideyori will secretly compensate for it. This kind of inferior imperial means, if the adult Toyotomi Hideyori has not mastered it, then this war is completely meaningless.

But here are the facts that have already happened, and he makes a powerful satire of this assumption. Therefore, there is no need for Kangning to worry about these two important ministers of the Toyotomi family, they will not suffer actual losses, but may be more respected by the lord.

Therefore, the point of this negotiation is to prevent any conditions that are unfavorable to the Toyotomi family from being proposed. Then, preventing the Standing High Court from expressing its own views is a top priority.

Tsunekoin's angry eyes stared at Kangning's body for a long time before he finally moved away, and he turned to Honda Masasumi in a righteous tone, "Although my son is working for Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, it is my sister and nephew who are standing on the other side, so I sincerely hope that the two sides can live in peace." Please also ask Honda-kun not to put forward too harsh conditions. ”

His remarks naturally wanted to show that his position was not inclined to multiple health. However, this kind of showmanship seems simple and naïve in front of Kangning, who has seen the faces of Western politicians in later generations.

So Corning couldn't get him off the stage at the first time.

"Since Madame has said so, I think that one of the conditions for peace negotiations is that Shogun Tokugawa immediately withdraw his troops. Only in this way can we talk about the harsh conditions for the Toyotomi family. Otherwise, the Toyotomi family will fall into the abyss of death at any time. So. Please also ask Madame to negotiate with this as the goal of negotiation, otherwise, I will not blame me for doubting your true position. ”

Chang Gaoyuan stood up angrily, and reprimanded him with just your nose: "I heard that you are just a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyori, why do you point fingers at the second aunt of your lord, has no one taught you the etiquette of respect and inferiority?" ”

Kang Ning snorted coldly, and also reprimanded angrily: "I, a noble man of China, how can I grovel in front of you and other barbarians? As for the issue of respect and etiquette, the dress system. Lile Han Junchen, who taught you the etiquette of respect and inferiority, will you understand the etiquette of respect and humility better than the teacher? ”

Chang Gao Yuan was speechless for a while, and he could not deny that most of Japan's ritual and music system and most of the political, economic, and cultural systems were inherited from the Central Plains. In front of Kang Ning, a native of the Ming Dynasty, talk about the Han family codes that have been passed down for thousands of years. Of course, it was the class that got the axe and brought humiliation on itself.

Seeing that Tokoin sat back angrily, the Tea Bureau, who came to the peace talks on behalf of Tokugawa Ieyasu, smiled slowly: "What Awaji Hall means, you are preparing to personally represent the Toyotomi family. Negotiate with us. However, your territory will no longer be neutral. How can we, how can we negotiate on such a land! ”

Kangning laughed out loud at this time: "Today's Japanese land is not a land tax to Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was in the name of Toyotomi Hideyori and his retainers. Is there a more suitable neutral place than my land? Does Mrs. feel that Shimazu Tadashi's territory. Is it better for you to negotiate? I think that if Feng really goes to Shimazu Tadashi's territory, he will not hesitate to detain you, do you really think that you can come back safe and sound like the Battle of Nagakute? ”

The Battle of Nagakute was an eternal pain in the heart of the Acha Bureau, and since that accidental miscarriage, he has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Tokugawa Ieyasu. Although later, even the current shogun Tokugawa Hidetada became her adopted son. But the estrangement between the two can still be felt by him.

When she was mentioned as sad, her heart was full of anger. This Ming Dynasty man didn't seem to want to see the peace talks between the two sides progress at all, so he jumped up and directly accused: "You and your backstage Boss Huang don't want Tokugawa General and Toyotomi Hideyori to negotiate at all!" In this way, you will be able to curry favor with both sides and grab the maximum profit that belongs to you. ”

Corning laughed again, his laughter full of contempt for the ignorant.

The Ah Tea Bureau, which was originally quite calm, became more and more angry.

"What's so funny about you? Isn't it like what I said? Do you think your clever words can hide from my eyes? ”

Kangning snorted coldly and said, "What an ignorant stupid woman! ”

"You!"

Ah Cha Bureau could no longer hide the anger in her heart, originally he thought that while he exposed Kangning's conspiracy, it would cause the other party to be annoyed and angry, and at that time, he could just tease the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party succeeded in causing his anger instead.

Kang Ning didn't care about her anger at all, and said bluntly: "We are all businessmen, and for businessmen, what is the most important thing is naturally to have an orderly government." And now, there is a fierce war between the two sides in your country, which has seriously affected our trade, and even though we have reached an agreement with the Tokugawa shogun, we have to wear summer clothes to keep our promises, and we have blocked our trade routes to the Kanto region, which makes us very angry. If Tokugawa Ieyasu does not make compensation, our mercenaries will continue to attack Tokugawa Ieyasu's soldiers on the battlefield. When the time comes, the only one who can survive this winter is the Toyotomi family, can you imagine that after a whole winter of exhaustion, in the face of the Toyotomi family who have rested for a winter in the coming year, will you still be able to gain an advantage like now? ”

Corning's threat is not entirely unreasonable. Maybe the tea bureau didn't understand the stakes, but Honda Masamu, who was sitting next to him, was clear about it.

Honda Masamune didn't think that this woman was qualified to continue the conversation, because the military deployment that followed was not something that this woman could understand.

Even though he was Tokugawa Ieyasu's side room, Honda Masamun lacked a minimum of respect for him. This was a common thing in ancient times, and I'm afraid that only this guy named Corning on the other side is incomprehensible about it.

Honda really doesn't care what Corning understands, though. He just wanted to know what kind of armed force Corning had to say that without fear.

You must know that in the traditional military theory system of the Japanese state, it is not easy to send troops on a large scale in winter. Moreover, to deal with the large number of soldiers under Tokugawa Ieyasu, you must have enough capital.

Although he learned some information about Corning from Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, he always believed that Corning was just making weapons sharper, and that if he wanted to really win in the war, he needed enough strategy and insight.

He didn't think that the young Corning had such excellent qualities. So he stood up loudly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Mr. Kang is really arrogant enough, just by occupying one of our islands, do you think that with the power of your ant, you can shake the big tree?" With all due respect, the word "self-indulgence" is only used to describe Your Excellency, and I am afraid it could not be more appropriate. ”

Corning heard his sarcasm, but he was not angry at all.

"Your generous gift, I'm afraid I can't accept it, because this word has nothing to do with me, but I want to give you a generous gift, do you think the words sitting in the well and watching the sky, is it very suitable for you!"

Hearing Corning's sarcasm, Honda was unmoved. Before seeing the real thing, why is the sarcasm and sarcasm in words all bluffing.

When Corning saw his resolute gaze, he knew in his heart that he had his own judgment, this was an old fritter that was not easy to fool. However, Kangning is not worried about this kind of person, since he does not see the Yellow River and his heart is not dead, then let the surging river roll in front of him.

Washing the other person's face with saliva here is really not actually convincing. (To be continued.) )
