520, drunken orchid under the cherry blossom tree (4)

Thinking about it so far, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival is also a decisive person, since Iemitsu Gong and Doi have entrusted this "traitorous reappearance" to themselves, so what kind of false name is there to talk about!

It's no wonder that the two adults did not entrust this matter to Masayuki Hoshina, but entrusted it to themselves. Bao Ke Zhengzhi read Zhu Zizhi's statement and read it like a nerd, if he learned about it, he would definitely refuse, but he was afraid that after he returned to China, he would be "punished by heaven".

"The Tokugawa family is foolish, please punish Your Highness." He knelt down again: "There is only one word, the Tokugawa family has now submitted to His Highness, and is willing to move forward for His Highness and seek rebellion." As a token of respect, the Tokugawa family sent four princesses for the lady to drive. ”

"Princess, ......" Yu Guozhen shook his head with a smile: "I'm quite interested in a princess of the Tokugawa family, and the Tokugawa family can send her here." ”

"Ah, I didn't expect the daughter of the Tokugawa family to make His Highness drooping, I don't know which one."

Hearing Yu Guozhen's words, Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival was in high spirits, this is an unexpected thing, if there is really a princess of the Tokugawa family who falls into the eyes of Nanhai Bo and becomes Nanhai Bo's concubine, then the affairs of the Tokugawa family will take a turn for the better!

"This princess's mother is the daughter of your Tokugawa family, and her own name is Xingzi." Yu Guozhen sat upright, and beside him, Song Xiance interjected with a smile.

This kind of thing should have been done by someone like him who did dirty work, and it would not be beautiful if Yu Guozhen really said it.

But when the name "Xingzi" was introduced to Abe Chukashi's ears, he was at a loss at first, because there was indeed no name Xingzi among the Tokugawa family concubines, but it was immediate. He suddenly realized, and his face was full of shame and indignation!

This Xingzi is not an ordinary person, but a contemporary Wa monarch, that is, the one who claims to be the emperor!

She was made the seventh queen in the history of the Japanese kingdom at the age of seven, and now she is eighteen years old, just at the right age, and her appearance is relatively outstanding among the Japanese women. He has been smart since he was a child, and he is good at singing and art. Her father was Hou Mizuo, and her mother. She is the granddaughter of the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and the fifth daughter of the second shogun Tokugawa Hidetada, so her body has the blood of the Tokugawa family. can barely be regarded as the princess of the Tokugawa family.

Yu Guozhen actually named and said that he wanted to send this incumbent monarch as a princess, which has far-reaching intentions, but it is not just as simple as humiliating the Japanese people: as long as this woman arrives in Xinxiang, then it means that the orthodoxy of the Japanese royal family has reached Xinxiang, and Xinxiang can directly interfere with the inheritance and abolition of the Japanese royal family in the future!

"It's impossible!" Abe Chukaku said fiercely: "That's the emperor......"

"Why, the words of my lord have not dispelled your disobedience? Claiming to be the emperor, he should have stripped him off and sent it to Beijing to offer prisoners, but you thought you wouldn't send it. Can't I pick it up at home? ”

Song Xiance's laughter reached Abe's ears, making Abe tremble, because he heard something from this short man's tone that made him feel uneasy.

Came to Xinxiang. was immediately brought to see Yu Guozhen, which made Abe's original plan for the Mid-Autumn Festival fall through. He had thought that he would be left to dry in the kan for a while, but he had come with the shogunate's gold collection and used this time to look around for opportunities, even if he couldn't get out of the kan himself. The serving samurai below can always slip out. Figuring out Nanhaibo's interests and hobbies, especially finding someone Nanhaibo trusts to do what he likes, can always be fully prepared for real negotiations.

But he never thought that when he got ashore with his front foot, he was pulled here by the wonderful bicycle, and then he saw Nanhai Bo.

Therefore, he was a little skeptical that the pockmark surnamed Song in front of him (Song Xiance was short among the Ming people, but he was considered a normal height among the Japanese people), was it a Japanese ...... Oh no, there is some prejudice in the Wakuni, so they are pressing step by step, so that they can find an excuse to destroy their Tokugawa family.

Abe Chukaku firmly believed that only the Tokugawa family could keep the Wakoku alive under the terrifying weapon of Nankai Bona.

"Yes, yes, since His Royal Highness is interested in the monarch of the contempt country, the monarch of the contempt country will naturally ...... Naturally, I would like to recommend a pillow seat, but a country cannot be without a king for a day, if the king of the country comes to Xinxiang, can the country set up a new king? ”

"I heard that the father of the king is still alive, and let him be in charge of the country." Song Xiance said indifferently: "But there is one thing you have to figure out, whether your queen can be lucky enough to be favored by my lord is still between the two. ”

At this time, Abe Mid-Autumn had already realized that he had never understood Buddhism as clearly as he did now, so he smiled and said, "That's nature, that's nature." ”

This is the most important one, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival has not argued for reason, Yu Guozhen feels strange. He brought this queen of the Wa Kingdom, of course, not the sperm on the brain, as Abe guessed, just to leave the blood of the Wa royal family in Huaxia, so that even if there is any accident in the future, Huaxia can arrogantly take out the historical records: The Wa Kingdom has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times, you see, the queen of Wada is married to the Chinese ethnic group.

However, it is good that there is less dispute, and the next thing is how to deal with the Japanese state.

This time, Abe Mid-Autumn carefully fought for the interests of the Tokugawa family, Yu Guozhen had no prejudices against the Tokugawa family, as long as they were willing to sell the interests of the Wa country to Huaxia, then it was okay to maintain the status of the Tokugawa family, but it was impossible for the Tokugawa family to regain its past power.

"For specific matters, Mr. Song will discuss with you, you can walk around Xinxiang these days, and you can visit our shipyard and arsenal. Oh, Tiger Guard's training drills, you can also go and see them. Just as Abe was pondering how to fight for more benefits for the Tokugawa family, Yu Guozhen sent him to Song Xiance.

Abe Mid-Autumn looked at Song Xiance, and saw that the ugly face of this pockmark was smiling chrysanthemums, and there was a bit of treachery in the laughter, which made people shudder. Needless to say, Abe Mid-Autumn knew that if he was not skinned, he would never want to get out.

Yu Guozhen chose Song Dwarf to negotiate with the Japanese people, precisely because Song Xiance had a bad stomach. Short and short, with a crutch, Song Xiance was unhappy in his early years, quite degraded, and even his family looked down on him, which caused his personality to be more intense and extreme, and some extreme ideas, others couldn't think of them, but he wanted them. For example, if you want to get the queen of the Japanese kingdom, Yu Guozhen didn't expect it, it was Song Xiance who suggested after collecting relevant information, and felt that this queen of the Japanese kingdom was a strange thing to live in, so he made this request.

The negotiations were difficult at the beginning, and although Abe Chukashi knew that he was going to betray the country, he couldn't help but be thrilled in the face of the contents listed by Song Xiance, and even had the idea of resisting them at the expense of the Tokugawa family. But Song Xiance first took him to visit Xinxiang's weapons factory, and then visited the shipyard, especially the launching ceremony of the second steamship "Flying Falcon", and then asked with a smile if he would agree to these conditions if he changed to another family, and Abe Zhongqiu finally gave in. Next, he just entangled in some detailed data, and Song Xiance saw that the main goal was achieved, so he also made a little concession.

On the eighth day of August in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, an agreement was reached and placed in front of Yu Guozhen.

There are 21 articles in this agreement, the first of which is that the emperor of the Wa Kingdom and all the official heirs of the daimyo must study in Xinxiang, study Chinese language and culture for at least five years, and pass the Chinese character test level 6 before they have the right to succeed to the throne. Therefore, the young head of the Tokugawa family must also come to Shinxiang before the end of the year to receive education and study. In this article, there was originally a rule that no attendants should be carried, but later it was changed to allow each heir to bring between one and five attendants, depending on their status. The expenses required are naturally borne by the heir families.

The second is that the Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom can be preserved, but the Shogunate is only a nominal samurai leader, and while being a vassal to the monarch, it must be recognized by Nankai Bo in order to be a shogunate. The Tokugawa shogunate's direct subordinate domains could only include the area from the original Okazaki Castle to Edo Castle.

The third is that the political and military affairs of the shogunate need to be guided by Shinxiang, that is, the shogunate's personnel appointments, Shinxiang has the right to intervene, and the shogunate's troops need to be trained by the officers stationed by Shinxiang. Abe Chukai raised his hands in favor of this article, because it also meant that Shinsho came forward to protect the shogunate, and the Tokugawa shogunate would not be completely destroyed because of the rebellion of the people.

The fourth article is a dispute between feudal lords, as long as it does not involve territory, Xinxiang will not interfere, but if it involves territorial changes, it must be adjudicated by Xinxiang. In other words, the battle between the feudal lords, Xinxiang will not pay attention, but after the battle, Xinxiang has the right to adjudicate the territory, which to some extent, encourages the fighting lords to try desperately to curry favor with Xinxiang, otherwise even if they win in the end, the territory they occupy will be confiscated by Xinxiang and transferred to other neighboring lords, and other neighboring lords will also be happy to teach those who dare to disobey Xinxiang's wishes with the support of Xinxiang.

The fifth was the establishment of Chinatown in Edo, which was nominally for the convenience of Chinese merchants, but in fact it was a concession with extraterritoriality and the power of the governor in Chinatown. In the concession, the laws of the Japanese state are not used, and the laws of Xinxiang are applied.

Article 6 is that the sale of Shinxiang products in the Wa Kingdom must be subject to customs duties, and the tariff rate is determined by agreement between the Governor of Tamna and the shogunate, and is levied by Chinatown on behalf of the Shogunate.

Article 7 The Chinese ethnic group has the right of free movement and special protection status in the Wa State, and may enter any non-military public place, and may freely open mines and do business in the Wa State.

Article 8 The territorial scope of the Wa Kingdom is limited to the three mainland islands, namely Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku, and the Ezo Island (Hokkaido) is not the territory of the Wa Kingdom.

As for the rest of the Japanese tribute women, the conscription of Japanese soldiers to fight against non-subordinate, and the provision of labor by the Japanese state, it is impossible to list them one by one. In short, in Yu Guozhen's view, these 21 articles are quite benevolent, at least they do not mention anything like a massacre and annexation, and in Abe's Zhongqiu's view, although there are quite harsh points, it also allows them to be tightly tied to Xinxiang and become a "civilized" country. And the most important of these is that the Tokugawa family can not only continue to serve as shoguns, but also maintain a certain amount of strength in strength.

As for those rights and interests that are transferred...... That's a necessary sacrifice. (To be continued)
