Chapter 217 The Doom Will Not Return

Well, when Zhu Shunshui's banner comes out, the effect will be different immediately. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, Zhu Shunshui was like a saint in the Wa Kingdom.

This remnant who was as famous as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others back then, after following King Lu to resist the Qing Dynasty and failing to attack Nanjing with Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan and others, because he was unwilling to be a Shunmin of the Tartars, he simply chose to cross to the Wa Kingdom to protect the Chinese clothes, but he did not want to become a sage in the Wa Kingdom. His students even included Tokugawa Mitsukuni, an important branch of the Tokugawa family, the lord of the Mito Domain, one of the three imperial families, and the Mito School he founded was the orthodox school of the Wa Kingdom at this time, and his identity was almost equivalent to that of the Zhu Pao Ash in the time of Kang Mazi.

And most of Yang Feng's subordinates, especially those high-ranking ministers, are the descendants of the remnants of Zhu Shunshui who fought side by side against the Qing Dynasty.

From this point of view, the two sides do have deep roots.

Of course, this does not solve the problem of letting the emperor send the prince to Daming to apologize, this issue is too sensitive, Emperor Higashiyama will never do it, he can't send troops to escort him if he doesn't do it, right? Although Tokugawa Tsunayoshi also has this ability, and even has the courage when necessary, it refers to when there is an internal problem, not to mention arresting the emperor, it is okay to let the emperor die unfortunately, but forcing the emperor to apologize to outsiders is a completely different nature.

"Your Excellency, His Majesty the Emperor has always studied and learned, and he has long been not asking about government affairs, and the general is solely responsible for everything, so he should not have any responsibility for this matter."

Yoshiho Yanagisawa said tentatively.

"First, don't talk to us about the emperor, it's just a pretext for your own amusement, and in our eyes there is only the king of the Wa Kingdom.

Second, this king of the Wa Kingdom is not a god of the world, what is a lineage of eternity, those are all fooled by yourselves, he is a vassal king, and he is also a vassal king who has not been canonized by my Ming Dynasty, if we want, we can abolish it at any time, and appoint a new Wa king at any time, such as your general, as long as you are obedient to me.

Thirdly, he must agree, this is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no room for bargaining, if he does not agree, then next time we will not come with the small cruisers of the Beiyang Fleet, but the battleships and even the marines of the Nanyang Fleet. At that time, we will not only fight Edo, we will continue to bombard along your coastline, destroying all the cities along your coast, Edo, Osaka, Nagoya, Wakayama and even Kanazawa on the west coast, all of them will be flattened under our fire, if you are not afraid, you can try.

Maybe you don't know the power of those battleships and heavy bombardments, and your castle tower can't stop a round of shelling from a battleship. ”

Fang Heng said with a sneer.

This is gunboat diplomacy, but it can't be said to be diplomacy, after all, it is the Ministry of Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is in charge of the Japanese state.

At this time, Yanagisawa Yoshiho has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, Emperor Higashiyama didn't agree that you should find Emperor Higashiyama, it's really not okay, let's discuss, you landed on the west bank of the Yodogawa River and went directly to fight Kyoto and then captured the Emperor Higashiyama, we guarantee that the Osaka defenders reacted too slowly to intercept, even if your warships enter the Yodogawa, we will be powerless to stop, this kind of thing is easy to discuss, but he didn't agree to you bomb our territory, what's going on? Edo is our base camp, Osaka is our money bag, Nagoya and Wakayama are two of the three Tokugawa families, and Kanazawa is our most important ally, the Kaga Domain, all according to the core interests of our Tokugawa family.

"Yanagi Ze-kun, in fact, we are all smart people, what is going on this time, I think you also understand, who is your real enemy, I don't need to point out!

Our Emperor His Majesty is deliberately giving you a chance, after all, because of Mr. Zhu Zhiyu, Your Majesty still has a good impression of you, if you make him satisfied, any flintlock pistol and cannon can be sold to you! I'm not afraid to tell you that over the years, the Shimazu family has bought 10,000 flintlock pistols and 30 cannons from us, and he can't even use a quarter of his army, and the Hosokawa family has bought 5,000 guns, and there are 20 cannons, and the Nabeshima family has bought no less than them, and the Maori family and the Kuroda family have bought enough ammunition to arm their army more than three times, and even hired some of our retired officers to help train them, so I don't need to say what they want to do, right? ”

Fang Heng said.

Yanagisawa Yoshiho cold sweat brushed down, they did know that the southwestern feudal domains were secretly buying arms from Yang Feng, but because the transaction between the two sides was very secret, and there were not many of these guys' armies, so they didn't take action until now, but when they heard this, they knew that there were still more hoards, and if this really fought, these guys' armies could be rapidly expanded several times.

The Tokugawa family is really in danger.

Of course he didn't know that Fang Heng actually said more, these feudal lords did buy a lot, but they didn't reach such a terrifying point, after all, these arms all need money, only Shimazu Tsunagui has the closest relationship with Yang Feng, and he has made the most money in partnership over the years, but he did buy so much, but the performance of all of them captured from the Qing army is not very strong.

But it's scary!

That's what it looks like.

"Got it now, right? We're not here to trick you, we're here to give you one last chance! ”

Fang Heng said lightly.

"How many weapons can you sell us!"

Yoshiho Yanagisawa said with a deep breath.

"As I said, as many as you want, even if you have all your armies, it's no problem."

Fang Heng said.

"Your Excellency, this matter is so big, we need a little time."

Yoshiho Yanagisawa said.

"No problem, I can wait for you!"

Fang Heng hugged the little beauty beside him and said.

Yanagisawa Yoshiho hurriedly got up and reported to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, Fang Heng was smiling happily behind him, Emperor Yang had dug a big hole, and now he was waiting for the entire Wa Kingdom to jump into this pit, once they jumped, the country would almost fall into a catastrophe.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi didn't hesitate for too long, General Dog is just physically disabled, but his IQ is not disabled, maybe he is more speechless when treating the common people, but that's just because the common people are not as good as a dog in his heart, so there is no need to waste brain cells, but when it comes to this kind of issue about his Tokugawa family, his mind is still very clear, first of all, Shimazu Tsunaki has already done it, what ship was saved by the righteous people of the Satsuma Domain, and the righteous people can beat his naval army? It must have been Shimazu Tsunaki who was reluctant to carry the goods on the ship, and simply sent an army to kill his sailors to save the merchant ship.

This is already an open provocation against him.

Now when he heard that Tsunagui Shimazu and the other southwestern feudal clans had bought so many arms, how could he sit still any longer?

Combined, these feudal lords are enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of all-iron cannons, which even exceeds the iron cannons in the hands of the shogunate, not to mention the flintlock pistol, the performance is far more than the arquebus of the shogunate, and now there is no excuse for not doing it, these feudal lords have not solved the distribution of interests internally, once this problem is solved, I am afraid it is long overdue to raise the banner of Shangluo. He seems to be as stable as Mount Tai now, but in fact he is already sitting in the crater, and the only way at this time is to arm himself with firearms as quickly as possible, or more directly buy a large number of flintlock pistols and cannons from Yang Feng, and even simply use Zhu Shunshui as an introduction to establish a friendly relationship with Yang Feng, so as to scare Shimazu Tsunagui and others, even if they can't be scared, they have the ability to suppress them.

In this way, Yang Feng's conditions must be met.

Compensation, catching the Dutch is not worth mentioning, switch, Ming merchant privileges, the pros and cons of the minister stationed in the Japanese state, in general, it is acceptable, especially in this way, it completely solves the problem that the southwestern feudal domains enjoy the exclusive trade interests of the Ming and Japanese countries, once Edo, Osaka, and Nagoya all become trading ports, those Ming merchants can trade directly with the Japanese merchants duty-free, then there will definitely be no more smuggling, after all, smuggling is also a link in the middle, as for not collecting Ming merchant tariffs, this is not worth mentioning, he is a big deal to collect taxes from those Japanese merchants, On the contrary, the shogunate increased its revenue, and the problem of the loss of gold and silver was ......

If he supplies Ji Nu to Daming on a large scale in the future, maybe he can get some of it back, not to mention that he can also sell things like copper ore and sulfur.

This way, the switch is fine.

The only problem was that the emperor sent the prince to Daming to apologize.

If it weren't for the Tokugawa family's reward for the emperor's land and giving them a large sum of money every year, the emperor wouldn't even be able to eat rice cakes during the New Year! The Tokugawa family has raised them for so many years, and now they should give the Tokugawa family something in return, anyway, the emperor went to the Ming Dynasty to claim his vassal, which theoretically has nothing to do with the Tokugawa family, but the premise is that the Emperor Higashiyama is forced to commit it, fortunately, there should be no big problem here, if the Emperor Higashiyama does not agree......

If he dared not agree, he turned against him!

In this way, Tokugawa Tsunade finally made a decision, all accepted the four conditions offered by Yang Feng, and first paid indemnity to the Ming army to let them go, and then went to load the Dutch there when passing through Nagasaki, and then the Tokugawa shogunate promised to order the entire coast of the country within a month, all ports were open to Ming merchant ships, and local officials were not allowed to collect customs duties, and at the same time built the prime minister's office and the deputy minister's office in Edo and Osaka respectively, Within two months, Emperor Higashiyama was persuaded to send the prince to Nanjing to apologize to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

In return, of course, the Ming wanted to sell him arms.

In this way, the Wa Kingdom was officially opened by the Ming Dynasty's naval bombardment, but Tokugawa Tsunayoshi did not know that his decision also brought the Wa Kingdom into a catastrophe.

It's a pit!

A big pit! (To be continued.) )
