Chapter 394: The Difficult Choice of the Wa Kingdom......

“…… Including the profits and taxes from commercial and trade exchanges, at least 500,000 guan per year, 185 years, if counted, that is, 92,500,000 guan, plus 30% of the interest, that is, as much as 27,750,000 guan, the sum of the two should be 120,250,000 guan......"

The Three Divisions, also known as the Law Division, were the highest-ranking officials in the Ryukyu Imperial Court under the Regents, equivalent to the Three Princes and Three Divisions of China. The three of them are responsible for the three responsibilities of using the place, giving the place, and bringing the party, and their rank is the pro-party, ranging from the first product to the second product.

And standing here today is the place given by one of the three divisions. At this time, he was talking happily, but was interrupted by life.

"What did you say?!" When a Japanese general kneeling behind him heard the number reported by the Ryukyu minister, he couldn't help but jump up, put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and shouted with a glare.

However, before he could finish exuding his martial aura, he felt that suddenly the sky had darkened, as if a dark cloud had hung over his head. The general, who was no more than 1.58 meters tall, subconsciously raised his head, only to find that it was not a dark cloud hanging overhead, but a man who was as strong as a ghost.

The two tall giants who were almost close to him grabbed his throat with one hand and lifted him viciously into the air, with a hideous scar on the shiny head. "In front of my young master, you actually stood with a knife, what do you want to do? Do you want to assassinate my young master?! ”

The general had no strength left to care about what the knife did or not, and his two hands tightly grasped the arm of the giant man as tall as a god's mansion, and tried to pull away his big hand that was stuck in his throat, but his strength was like an ant shaking a tree compared to this giant man.

His face gradually turned purple, and his legs kicked and swung as hard as a wild monkey hanging from the branches of a giant tree.

"Please stop, Shangguo Lux stop quickly." Matsudaira Nobuaki didn't think that such a show would come, although the number of the Ryukyu minister just now really shocked him, but there was no need to make any trouble at this time, annoying the Qing general who knew at a glance that it belonged to hob meat, who knew that he would really use the outrageously dense artillery of their warships to raze the entire Edo.

I was annoyed that my subordinates were putting on a samurai style for no reason, and I was also angry that this Qing country warrior was too faceless, and he actually looked at the samurai who had made him almost short of breath with an expression like a dog with one hand.

--------------------

"Okay, monk, let's put people down, after all, we are guests, and we are people from the Heavenly Empire, so we must have some compassion and benevolence, so as to save others from saying that we bully the weak or something." Liang Pengfei stretched out a finger and plucked his nostrils there, while saying unhurriedly.

"Okay young master, let him go with the little one." After Monk Chen respectfully agreed, he threw the general who had already made his big hand stuck on the deck and retreated to the side, although until now, his expression still looked peaceful and respectful, but the eyes of those people looking at him had begun to flicker with starlight, there was fear and admiration.

In the eyes of the Japanese people, generally strong and powerful people will generally be called ghosts and gods, anyway, during the Warring States Period, the Japanese country was called ghosts XX, XX ghosts are really a lot, but today, they finally found that in front of this overly tall, amazingly strong giant man, those so-called ghosts and gods who have been in the smoke of history have turned the loess in the smoke of history, compared with the one in front of them, it is really scum.

Retracted his gaze at Monk Chen, and saw that Liang Pengfei, a dignified general of the kingdom, was actually picking his nose with a cigar so disregarded for his manners, Matsudaira Nobuaki really felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

And the Makino Tadashi next to him had a burning anger in his eyes, but he was much more rational than the general who had thrown Monk Chen on the deck and had been dragged away for treatment.

The smile on the face of the Ryukyu minister was even bigger. "General Shangguo, although my Ryukyu is a small country, I have been a vassal of the Chinese Celestial Empire for a long time, although I have not been able to learn the manners of the Celestial Empire, but I also know the courtesy of generosity and kindness, so this 12,000 and 250,000 yuan, the minister is willing to deduct the fraction of 250,000 yuan, as long as they can compensate our country 120 million yuan, then, our country can forgive them for all kinds of crimes they committed against our Ryukyu before."

Bang Bang Bang ...... Young Master Liang, who was smoking a huge cigar, applauded applauded very appreciatively. "Look, you Japanese people take a good look, this Ryukyu minister is indeed magnanimous enough, and he has reduced your compensation of 250,000 taels of gold, and in the eyes of this general, he has indeed achieved generosity and virtue, and is a model for the vassals of the world, so you should learn more from such modest and courteous surnames."

"General Shangguo, you are clearly unreasonable, why should the country I said to compensate Ryukyu for so much gold and silver? This has nothing to do with our general's family at all. Osaka Castle's Daimakino Tadashi crooked his mouth and couldn't hold back any longer.

"Vexatious?" Liang Pengfei turned his head, and the knife-like gaze made these widows look away one by one, even after the angry Makino Tadashi made his knife-like gaze shaved over, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and regained his consciousness.

"General Ageo, this matter really has nothing to do with my shogunate, but the Satsuma clan made its own opinion, and I ask the general not to criticize our shogunate too harshly." Matsudaira Nobuaki quickly took over the conversation and replied, he was afraid that Makino Tadashi would say something unreassuring.

"I said Matsudaira Middle-aged, what you said is a little inauthentic, does this Satsuma Domain belong to the jurisdiction of your shogunate?" Liang Pengfei retracted his gaze and spit out a smoke ring, his eyes flickering behind the smoke, like a dragon lying prone between the magma and gunsmoke of the mountain fire. "If it is under your jurisdiction, then this compensation will naturally be asked for by you, if not, then this general will go to the Satsuma domain for the Ryukyus." This is a cruel and desperate statement.

Matsudaira Nobuaki took a deep breath and bowed to the ground again: "The Great General of the Kingdom, it is not that Matsudaira refuses to agree to the General, but that this matter is too big, and we cannot make the decision, and we need to submit it to His Majesty the Emperor before we can make a decision, so I hope that the General can treat our country leniently, and after His Majesty the Emperor has made a decision, I will go to the Kingdom of Heaven and report to the Emperor of Heaven for His Majesty's disposition." ”

"Isn't everything in your country ruled by the shogunate? When will the emperor be able to get involved in political affairs? I said Matsudaira Naka-elder, what you said is too unauthentic, right? Liang Pengfei staggered over to Nobuaki Matsudaira, squatted down, and looked at the middle-aged man, who had shaved a Mediterranean-shaped blank hairstyle in the middle of the top of his head. Let me tell you one more thing, this time General Ben has been given full authority to deal with this matter, so you don't have to go to Yanjing, just settle the matter with me here. ”

"The Great Shogun, although His Majesty the Emperor entrusts the task to the General, the Emperor is the supreme monarch of our country, and he can only be asked to make decisions on such important matters." Matsudaira Nobuaki knew that no matter how he answered this matter, he would be unlucky, so he could only push it on the emperor's body.

--------------------

"Since you have said so, it is not right for me to force you again, okay, this matter will be put on hold for the time being, and we will talk about it after we finish talking about that treaty, now I want to ask you, that treaty, are you willing to sign it?" Liang Pengfei's sudden understanding made Matsudaira Nobuaki react for a long time.

After hesitating for a long time, Matsudaira Nobuaki gritted his teeth. "The covenant given by the Kingdom of God should have been fully agreed upon by our country, but the Shogun could not completely make the decision for His Majesty the Emperor, so I ......"

"Stop! You mean, that treaty needs to be signed by His Majesty the Emperor, right? Liang Pengfei laughed, but the laughter was so gloomy that it made people's hearts chill. Do you mean that the shogunate has been returned to your emperor? ”

"There are some terms that we, the shogunate, can agree to on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor." Matsudaira Nobuaki still didn't dare to answer Liang Pengfei's question directly.

"Is Kyoto far from Edo?" Liang Pengfei asked again thoughtlessly.

"This ...... Fast horses take at least four days. Matsudaira Nobuaki replied subconsciously.

"Well, I'll give you twelve days, and after twelve days, it's best to hand over to me the reply of your Emperor and His Majesty, and if I can't get the treaty that has been signed by your Emperor or your general, then don't blame Lao Tzu for burning Edo to the ground." Liang Pengfei stretched out his hand, patted Namatsuna Nobuaki's shoulder, and smiled very friendly, but in the eyes of these Japanese people, it was even more terrifying than the evil ghost.

Hearing Liang Pengfei's threat, and seeing the blood-devouring and danger behind his smile, Matsudaira Nobuaki couldn't help but discern and said: "General Shangguo, how can such a major matter related to the safety of the country be able to make a hasty decision. ”

"How long do you say? Matsudaira Naka-elder, maybe you don't know, I'm not very patient with a person, and I'm more bored when I get started, if I wait too long, or if I'm in a bad mood one day, maybe I'll fire two cannons at Edo to vent my frustration of being on the sea for a long time, and ...... at that time."

"Three months." Matsudaira Nobuaki originally wanted to talk for half a year, but when he heard Liang Pengfei's words, he shortened the time by half, but Liang Pengfei only stretched out one, no, two fingers at him: "Twenty days, this is the deadline I give you, don't bargain with me anymore, I hate others talking to me the most." Remember, in twenty days, if you don't show up here, my promise will be fulfilled. ”
