"Burn it, burn it slowly, preferably for a longer time. Liang Pengfei stood at the bow of the battleship, with a grim and confident smile on the corner of his mouth. In those years, the commander of the US East India Fleet, Matthew ? Perry knocked on the door of the Wa kingdom with only seven warships, and today, he brought thirty warships, and made so many arrangements in advance, if he did not get a satisfactory answer.

"If the whole of Edo is set on fire, I don't know if it will set the economy of the country back another twenty or thirty years." Liang Pengfei muttered to himself in a low voice. The Wa Kingdom, a country that has made the Chinese nation suffer and suffer in another time and space, Liang Pengfei was already thinking about how to clean it up at the beginning of the crossing.

Although the country lacks resources and products, there seems to be little to be noticed in this country, except for the abundance of samurai who play with knives and their own lives, and volcanic earthquakes.

In fact, in this era, the output of silver and gold in the Wa Kingdom was still good, and Liang Pengfei wanted to control the country in addition to plundering a large amount of mineral resources in the Wa State.

The reason why Liang Pengfei wants to do this, first, Liang Pengfei definitely doesn't want history to repeat itself again, he has come to this time and space, and has changed a lot of things, but how dare he forget this feud that made him unforgettable in his previous life?

Second, this country has a large population, which can provide a large number of labor resources for Liang Pengfei to develop a colonial career, since it is necessary to obtain labor, then, it is necessary to destroy a country's economic system, it is best to let this country go down to the common people, to the nobles and ministers are bankrupt, only after completely destroying a country's economic system, or completely controlling a country's economic system, Liang Pengfei can easily obtain the rule of the country, or control.

Therefore, Liang Pengfei came to the Japanese country to let the Japanese open the country for trade, and Liang Pengfei was determined to use an economic offensive to destroy the country. In a word, dumping goods.

Since the birth of capitalism, it has been full of blood, and Liang Pengfei's Guangzhou merchant group has gradually had the prototype of capitalists, and the kind of industrial production brings production capacity is jaw-dropping, so Liang Pengfei naturally will not let go of the Wa State, which has a consumer population of more than 20 million, of course, and North Korea, but he first got rid of the Qing State and the Qing State, which is more powerful than North Korea.

In addition, Liang Pengfei will never let the development of the Japanese kingdom develop, so Hokkaido must return to the embrace of China, and Kyushu Island must also become the outpost of Young Master Liang to monitor the Japanese kingdom, so that the four islands of the Japanese kingdom will become two islands of the Japanese kingdom, in addition, it is best to divide the Japanese kingdom and keep them in internal friction, which will be more perfect.

"Negotiations, negotiations must be made, and we can't let them attack Edo Castle so brazenly again." Tokugawa Ieki's forehead was full of cold sweat, he really couldn't imagine that one battleship on the other side would have so many artillery, oh my God, if the opponent's thirty huge ships fired at Edo in unison, Tokugawa Ieki believed that in less than half a day, the entire Edo would become a sea of fire.

You know, this Edo Castle is not only the largest city in the Wa Kingdom, since Tokugawa Ieyasu was transferred to Kanto by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and became a daimyo with 2.5 million koku, Tokugawa Ieyasu took Edo as his residence, and then, with the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the grand plan to donate to build Edo began, it has become the ruling center of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and it is a symbol of the strength and authority of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

If the Qing people are allowed to destroy it here, then it is not only a castle that will be destroyed, but the authority of the entire ruling class of the shogunate, and even the rule of the Tokugawa family, which has been inherited for two hundred years.

He also felt that the other party seemed to be deliberately restrained, otherwise, it would not be as simple as five warships firing only one round of cannons. Tokugawa Ieki knew it was time to make a decisive decision on his own.

"Obey the order, the minister will definitely live up to the general." Matsudaira Nobuaki, who had been waiting by his side for a long time, replied loudly at the moment, he also knew this kind of thing, except for him, the chief elder, other people really did not have this qualification.

"Wait......" The Tokugawa family rolled his eyes: "On top of that treaty, there are some that our shogunate can decide, but there are some treaties that involve the society of the country I said to be deputies, and it is up to His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision, so ......"

Matsudaira Nobuaki's eyes lit up, he already understood that it was okay to negotiate, but for those terms and conditions that were not of much harm to the other side, he could agree in advance, and as for some terms that would damage the rule and prestige of the shogunate after they were signed, then he would push it on the emperor, after all, the emperor was the nominal monarch.

Soon, the Tokugawa shogunate's elder Matsudaira Nobuaki, Osaka Castle's Daimakino Tadasei, and several henchmen sent by Tokugawa rushed to the Red Shark, the flagship of the Great Qing Fleet.

"The shogunate's elder Matsudaira Nobuaki, Osaka Castle Daimokino Tadasei, and others have seen the general of the country. I didn't know that the general of the country was coming, and he couldn't welcome him from afar, and I hope that the general of the country should not blame him" Matsudaira Nobuaki maintained a low posture as soon as he came up, and he was extremely respectful.

Liang Pengfei looked at these few widows whose waists were bent to the extreme, glanced at Ling Longyu beside him, and after seeing his sure eyes, he turned his face and said, "Since you are here on behalf of the shogunate, then, I think, you should be able to explain what all the previous hostilities were all about?" Didn't you see the battle flag flying high on the warships of my Great Qing Kingdom? ”

"You ......" Osaka Castle Daimakino Tadashi crooked his nose angrily, this guy is too fucking unauthentic, a typical wicked person sues first. Taking a deep breath, Osaka Castle's Daimokino Tadashi said in a deep voice: "General Shangguo, my Edo Bay is the forbidden land of Gyeonggi, the country I said I came from, and no foreign ships are allowed to enter, but the warship of General Shangguo did not inform or explain, and just broke into my Edo Bay......"

"Okay, what do you mean, it's the general's fault?" Liang Pengfei tilted the corner of his eyes and said.

"I don't dare, but I think that no matter how good the general is, he shouldn't sink our warship and bombard my Edo Port." Osaka Castle Daimokino Tadashi raised his head, with a loyal and brave momentum, but it provoked several Japanese people around him to secretly applaud in their hearts.

"First, my warships are all hung with my Qing flag, which has already shown our identity, and second, the country of the suzerain, the patrol of the vassals, and the vassal countries, should be solemnly welcomed, but your warships actually dare to fire at the general's warships without asking questions, so I just sank those warships, which is already a light punishment, and you not only did not have the intention of welcoming my Heavenly Dynasty king, but instead laid heavy troops in the port, don't you want to resist? In that case, if General Ben doesn't give you a small warning, I'm afraid you won't be on my warship now, right? Liang Pengfei stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp, and pointed at the widows in front of him with another hand holding a cigar.

Hearing this, the faces of the crowd were like Zhu Zi, well, let Liang Pengfei's words that were almost nonsense suffocated. However, although the reason is far-fetched, there is a reason in the end.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Admiral Kamikoku, we will no longer dwell on these trivial matters, and Matsudaira would like to express my deep apologies to the Shogun on behalf of the shogunate for the fact that our samurai dared to open fire on the fleet of the Upper Kingdom." Matsudaira Nobuaki took a deep breath, bowed to the ground, and flew towards Liang Peng.

"Okay, since you have all apologized, if I pursue it again, wouldn't it be detrimental to the benevolence of my Heavenly Empire, and I will not mention this matter for the time being, but there is another thing, I want to mention it, your Satsuma Domain of the Wa Kingdom actually dared to invade the Ryukyus, a vassal state of my Great Qing Kingdom, for no reason, how are you going to reply to this matter?" Liang Pengfei took a deep puff of his cigar, his face was relaxed and comfortable, at this time, it was just grinding his mouth, Young Master Liang was idle, and he happened to take this vote to open the fire.

Matsudaira Nobuaki exchanged glances with Namakino Tadasei and replied: "General Kamikoku, it is true that my shogunate did not know about this matter, and this matter should have been done privately by the Nasatsuma Domain, General Kamikoku, please rest assured, we will definitely punish the Satsuma Domain severely, and we will not let such a thing happen again." ”

"Hehe, this sounds like a good sound, but Shogun Ben has heard that the words of your shogunate don't seem to have much effect on the Shimazu family, who rules the Satsuma Domain, right? Well, this belongs to you, and I won't inquire, but what I want to know is, how are you going to punish it severely? Liang Pengfei narrowed his eyes and said with a dark smile.

"This ...... We must report to our general, and the general will make a decision. Although Matsudaira Nobuaki seems to be a little cowardly in terms of politics, after all, he is an old fritter who has been mixed in the officialdom for decades, and this answer is so smooth that people can't catch a little mistake.

"In that case, this general will first remind you that the Satsuma Domain has brutally exploited the Ryukyu Kingdom after forcibly occupying the Ryukyu Kingdom, a subject state of the Qing Dynasty, since the 37th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty before the Celestial Empire, so I don't have much opinion on what you want to do with him, but they must make compensation for the wealth exploited from the Ryukyu Kingdom in the past 185 years, what is the approximate amount? I don't remember my last name well, so please tell these lords of the kingdom to listen to it, and go to the throne. ”

"Respect the life of the general." Beside him, a Ryukyu minister stood up from the crowd, first bowed respectfully to Liang Pengfei, and then turned his head, with a smile on his face, but his gaze reminded Namatsunaira Nobuaki and Ichigan of the injured she-wolf. That kind of resentful, crazy look that wants revenge makes everyone shudder in their hearts.
