Masatomo Mizuku was stunned, even if he pursued the enemy army, he was ready to smash Huanglong and rush into Tokugawa Ieyasu's military formation.

As a result, he was shot by a burst of bows and arrows from the enemy, and although he successfully rushed in, the casualties paid were also very great.

When Corning saw him, he was being bandaged by Conduff. This guy who wants to save face and suffer the guilt keeps saying that he has inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.

If anyone was suspicious, he would jump up and describe the chaotic situation on Tokugawa Ieyasu's side at that time.

In the process, the wounds all over his body seemed to stop bleeding, and it seemed that every blood cell of his body would think about his face.

But Corning didn't care what his record was. Anyway, he brought a group of opera masters today, just to package this person as the most effective general in Toyotomi Hideyori.

After the Yuan Dynasty, drama with more visual impact in terms of expression gradually became the most popular entertainment method for the general public. Although many of the dramas are created by middle- and lower-class literati, it is precisely because he is created by middle- and lower-class literati that they are closer to the values of the people in terms of language dialogue and connotation, and in the process of appreciation, the people will not retreat because the truth contained in it is too profound.

Kangning thought to himself that since this was the case in the Central Plains, most of the other countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, which were heavily influenced by the Central Plains culture, were the same.

As a result, the process of this interview was put in the first place in everything, and only the new group of peace talks envoys sent by Rykawa Ieyasu were not received by Corning at the first time.

However, in the course of this interview, there was an obvious problem that greatly hindered the whole process. Language, a form of communication that breaks through the limitations of physical expression, is also a form of communication that cannot overcome geographical barriers in a short period of time.

Linguistics, an extremely broad discipline in terms of design, is also one of the most controversial and the most likely to be disagreed.

Scholars disagree on how many languages are still in circulation in the world in later generations, but the general opinion is that there are about 5,000 to 7,000 languages still circulating in the world, but there are only about 140 languages with more than 1 million speakers.

Due to geographical, historical, and religious relationships, it is already commonplace for two or more languages to communicate with each other. The kinship between language species has become the most critical classification basis in language taxonomy.

But this discipline, with its degree of controversy, is worthy of everyone who wants to quote its contents, and from the process of description, find words like "still controversial".

If the Sino-Tibetan language family is entangled in dialects and should be counted as languages independently, then the so-called Japanese language family should directly question whether it has the meaning of existence?

Some scholars deliberately put forward the concept of the Japanese language family in response to the propaganda offensive of politicians, and the motives are impure in the first place. This concept was quickly questioned by many in the international academic community, which proves from another side that his academic foundation is not solid at all.

However, the Japanese language is very head-scratching, and this is something that everyone who has ever experienced learning will have. Katakana hiragana or something, the training and pronunciation are even more explosive, and the same child does not necessarily have the same pronunciation, because he may have been introduced to Japan in different historical periods, such as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty, and their pronunciation in the Central Plains at that time has changed due to historical reasons.

Therefore, it is sometimes more difficult to find a qualified Japanese translator than it is to find a Spanish or English translator. The only thing to be thankful for is that this place is relatively close to the Central Plains, and there is more communication at ordinary times, even if the success rate of Japanese translation is relatively low, but the huge communication technology is placed there, and one or two can still be found after all.

But Corning was an unfortunate man, at least in this regard, and he didn't have a proper Japanese translator at hand. However, Mijuku Masatomo's Chinese language was really substandard, so the communication between the two sides fell into great difficulties, after all, after converting from Japanese to Chinese, it also needed to be converted into English and Spanish that Shakespeare and Cervantes could understand.

The inefficiency of the work gave Corning a better reason to shirk the peace envoys sent by both Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori.

The victory in the Battle of Sanada Maru showed Tokugawa Ieyasu the strength of Kangning, but not long after that, the news of the annihilation of Akashi Shoto's army came from Haurabuchi, who had previously broken out in the war.

Details of the war, Toyotomi Hideyori though had been sent to Corning. But Kang Ning didn't look at it carefully, because the result was no longer important to him, and the only possible impact was that Toyotomi Hideyori had already noticed through this incident that without relying on Kangning's strength, his strength in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu was almost negligible, but if you relied too much on your strength, it would form a passive situation that could not be lost, so Toyotomi Hideyori also became a force to promote peace talks this time.

Fortunately, Kangning has made a decisive move and defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu on the battlefield, so this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's substantial interests can satisfy Corning's appetite.

The envoys sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu to negotiate were Tokugawa Hidetada's wife, Asai E, and Zhang Yi, who was arranged by Kangning to infiltrate the shogunate as a traveling scholar. On the Toyotomi Hideyori side, there is Yododen, that is, Asai E, and the eldest sister of Tokoin, who has been imprisoned, Asai Chacha.

In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu has already calculated that Toyotomi Hideyori has no one who can be trusted and can negotiate. So he decisively chose Tokugawa Hidetada's wife, Asai E. One of the advantages of this is that he will work with the mother of Toyotomi Hideyori, who will inevitably be sent by the other party, to pressure Kangning to release Tsunekoin.

As long as this cooperation is successful, after that, Tokugawa Ieyasu can choose to unite with Toyotomi Hideyori to boycott Corning.

Tokugawa Ieyasu once again judged the situation and resorted to the most insidious routine, and he had clearly realized that the most urgent thing to get rid of was not Toyotomi Hideyori, who could still get the support of the government, but this outsider, Kangning.

So this time, although he is still ready to pull one by one, the object of pulling and the object of hitting have been exchanged in a position.

However, in the talks, which began more than ten days later, Corning punctured Tokugawa Ieyasu's small calculations at the beginning.

When Asai Jiang and Asai Chacha proposed to release Tokoin, Kang Ning decisively pointed out that he was still a courtier of Toyotomi Hideyori in name, so as long as Toyotomi Hideyori personally issued an order, he would immediately release Tokotoin.

But he then added that because he was on loan to play for Toyotomi Hideyori, he was actually still loyal to Boss Hua, so he had to say on behalf of Boss Huang that on the Japanese archipelago at this time, although the war and gunsmoke mainly began around the three of them, but in fact, Tokugawa Shogun had an absolute advantage, and Toyotomi Hideyori and Boss Huang were actually in a cold relationship.

His words woke up Asai Chacha. The woman's brain was not stupid, but the excessive arrogance and conceit blinded him. After this period of fighting, he did feel the strength of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the public family, who originally supported Toyotomi Hideyori, sent two envoys to persuade Tokugawa Ieyasu to abandon the attack during the war, but was immediately rejected by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Since then, the public family, who he has high hopes for, has stood by and never made any strong support.

This incident made him completely understand that the current situation was actually extremely unfavorable for him and his son. In this way, he let go of his original conceit and began to seriously study the delicate tripartite relationship.

Clever and clever, he soon discovered that Kangning was not actually really helping Toyotomi Hideyori, he was actually currying favor on both sides to maximize his interests.

However, this point made him more reassured. Loyalty for no reason will always make people feel more or less uneasy, and now that we have discovered Corning's desires, we can communicate with them better and more to the point.

So he said decisively: "The matter of the Chang High Court has been decided like this." When I go back, I'll ask Hideyori to write a letter, and at that time, Awajiden will definitely keep his promise. ”

Corning swore an assurance: "Of course. ”

As a result, the talks between the two sides, in fact, the tripartite talks, finally entered the substantive stage.

Kangning's harsh conditions were also thrown out and put in front of the wife of the general Zhengyi.

The Harima Province, Bizen Province, Mimasaka Province, Settsu Province, Kawachi Province, Tanba Province, and Awa Province, one of the four countries, all needed to appoint someone from Kangning as the guardian of the country. The princes of all walks of life who were originally sealed here must be transferred to other places immediately. In addition, the seven countries mentioned above, plus the Awaji country, which was already under the control of Corning, were to carry out their own decrees within their borders, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was not to interfere with them under any pretext.

This first condition was thrown out, and it was enough to anger the retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had come to negotiate with him. However, the intelligent and wise Diandian expressed his support for Kangning in front of their angry expressions. On behalf of his son, Toyotomi Hideyori, he announced that he recognized Corning's independent jurisdiction over the eight nations. Even if Kangning was still nominally a courtier of Toyotomi Hideyori, there would be no one from the Toyotomi family who would interfere with Kangning's statecraft.

This statement made Corning very satisfied, and it seemed that this woman had understood the importance of cold lips on both sides.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not agree to Kangning's conditions at the first time, they claimed that they would send someone back to report to the Tokugawa general, and he would make the final decision, after all, the matter was very important, and even Zhang Yi, who was sitting on the side, did not dare to persuade them to agree to this condition.

Although Corning knew that they were just trying to delay time, time was also what Corning needed, so Corning simply and neatly expressed his understanding of the other party's cautious attitude.

The talks moved to the next stage of the meeting, which was the liberalization of commerce and trade, another condition proposed by Corning.

The conservative Tokugawa Ieyasu's resistance to commerce was almost engraved in his bones, and at the same time, he did not want Western traders to enter his jurisdiction. This time, however, Corning used military tactics to force him to open up free trade in the Kansai region, at least to ensure that Corning's people could come and go freely, and only to collect the tariffs they had agreed upon. As for the old nest Kanto region that Tokugawa Ieyasu is now running, he Kangning does not have the ability or the heart to extend the tentacles of commerce there.

After discussing with Zhang Yi and the retainers who followed, Asai Jiang decided to agree to Kangning's condition. Anyway, Kangning is not going to be in Tokugawa Ieyasu's lair, in fact, it should be regarded as a new nest, and the Kanto region implements this plan, so the central region, the region, the Kunaka region, the Shikoku region, and the Kyushu region will simply let his caravan toss.

Anyway, by the time Tokugawa Ieyasu's army eases up next summer, it will be possible to re-recruit a sufficient number of soldiers and destroy Toyotomi Hideyori and Kanning in one fell swoop.

Next, Corning would make his third request, the immigration plan. This is actually not what he wants to do, but what Boss Huang demands. However, he could take advantage of this opportunity to force the other two parties, as well as the various princes who obeyed their orders, to carry out a de facto migration in the form of buying and selling slaves.

Boss Huang has the advantage of accumulating a lot of wealth, but he does not have a sufficient amount of land and population to increase his wings. In this way, wealth can only become the source of disaster, so immigration and resettlement became his next most important policy, which is why he tried to get refugees from Shandong and other places in the Central Plains.

This condition was quickly recognized by the other two parties, who could convert the population without combat effectiveness into gold and silver that could improve combat effectiveness, and neither of them had any reason not to agree.

Of course, Kangning also has a fourth demand, that is, Tokugawa Ieyasu must not make any other demands during this peace talks, otherwise, the peace talks will break down immediately, and he will order his subordinates to start preparations for an attack on Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Although Asaie was angry, he agreed with this opinion. So for the rest of the time, the two sides could only wait quietly for Tokugawa Ieyasu's reply to the first condition put forward by Kangning.

Zhang Yi didn't think that Tokugawa Ieyasu would agree to Kangning, but Kangning was full of confidence in this. He had even begun to imagine that in the near future, he would recruit troops from these eight commanding countries to form a powerful army capable of sweeping across the Japanese archipelago.

He had even mistastefully thought of the name of this army, which was called, the Eight-Nation Alliance. (To be continued.) )
