Chapter 106: Japan (6)

The next morning, Shimazu Kiyoshi took Kiyoyu Komatsu and Takamori Saigo on the Etsutsu ship and boarded the Keelung ship in person.

A huge map of the world in the mid-nineteenth century hangs in the conference room of the Keelung ship, Wang Tiezhu sits on the main seat, and Lu Yao, Ping Chongsheng and others sit around him, Mao Hengde, Ma Cheng, and Shimazu Zhongjiao are also among them.

Shimazu Qibin strode forward and knelt humbly on the ground, "The Metropolitan Governor led the king to cross the sea with the intention of seeking injustice. As the lord of the Satsuma Domain, Qi Bin regretted that he couldn't keep the border and his neighbors, and forgot the righteousness of watching, so he came to ask for sin! ”

Komatsu Kiyoyu and Saigo Takamori followed closely behind Qi Bin, and they also fell to the ground.

"The Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Ryukyu all belong to China, the same culture, and the same species, so they should support each other, coexist and prosper! The lord of the feudal clan came in person, and his sincerity is commendable! ”

Wang Tiezhu secretly admired Shimazu Qibin's thick blackness, and said in his heart that none of these figures at the end of the curtain were idle.

After taking his seat, Qi Bin repeatedly expressed his admiration for the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time tactfully said that Samoto had limited finances and would never be able to take out 100,000 taels of gold.

As for the Osumi Islands, legally speaking, the Satsuma Domain was only a feudal state, and all the land was under the management of the shogunate. The crux of the matter is the shogunate, as long as the shogunate can agree to the reparations for the cession of land, then there will be no problem.

After patiently listening to Qi Bin's statement, Wang Tiezhu's face was right, "The feudal lord is wrong, the indemnity and land cession have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, this is a compensation for the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is justified!" ”

Mao Hengde and Ma Cheng in the seat nodded vigorously.

In that year, Shimazu Iehisa, the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain of Kagoshima, led 3,000 soldiers to invade the Ryukyus, captured the Ryukyu king, and forced the Ryukyus to cede the Amami Islands to the Satsuma Domain. In addition, the Shimazu clan also forced the Ryukyu monarch to admit that "Ryukyu had always been a vassal of the Shimazu clan in Sasku", and the three Ryukyu officials who refused to sign the Shimazu clan were beheaded. This kind of blood, tears, and Hengde are vividly in their hearts.

"Got it!" Shimazu nodded yes, but his fists were clenched tightly.

Wang Tiezhu continued: "You are a scholar of Lanxue, and the victorious country takes advantage of the power of victory to gather a large amount of wealth from all countries in the world, and then becomes a real power, which is the practice of destroying people. I am the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and I have crossed the sea to come to Samosi, for the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, for coexistence and common prosperity, and for the rejuvenation of China. ”

Qi Bin, who was panicked, suddenly looked forward to it, "Thank you for your understanding!" Qi Bin will do his best to serve the Mingsar friendship, the peace and Han friendship, and the rejuvenation of China. ”

Wang Tiehammer glanced at Shimazu Qibin with a smile, and said in his heart that this Japanese can really be forbearant and obedient, and his anger and helplessness are all buried in his heart.

He pointed at Lu Yao and Ping Chongsheng, "The specific negotiation is their business!" Lord Lu Yao is our envoy to Japan, and Lord Tairashige is Lord Lu's secretary and translator! ”

When introduced to Taira Shigemori, Taira Shigemori said in Japanese, "My Japanese name is Inoue Shigemori, and my full name is Taira courtier Inoue Taro Shigemori. ”

"Hei" is the name of the clan, "courtier" is the second class of the eight-color surname (a title that indicates status, family lineage, and position, which is equivalent to a title, and is a sign of the status of the nobles outside the imperial family), "Inoue" is the Miao character, "Taro" is the name (common name), and "Shigemori" is the name of the name.

"You are a descendant of the Ping clan?!" Komatsu's eyes widened. In the past, there were often some small feudal lords who clinged to the famous families of the past and called themselves the Taira clan or the Fujiwara clan, and now the officials of the Ming Dynasty also cling to the Taira clan, what does this mean!

"The descendants of the Ping clan are nothing remarkable." Wang Tieshu smiled, "Lord Shimazu Domain, I heard that you are the descendant of the First Emperor, and the First Emperor is the first emperor of China through the ages!" ”

The ancestors of the Shimazu clan claimed to be descendants of the Yumune clan.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang's son Hu Hai and some of the descendants of Fusu moved to Chao~Xian, and later they moved from Chao~Xian to Japan to avoid chaos. In the Heian period, some of the descendants of the Qin clan took the name of the Weizong clan.

"In the era of Emperor Konoe, the ancestor of the family, Hiroshi resigned from the position of Harima Shaopeng to join the Konoe family, so he became the subordinate of Shimazuso, which was the head of the Konoe family, which was the beginning of the Shimazu clan."

Qi Bin explained that he was indeed a descendant of the Qin family, not a climber.

Wang Tiezhu nodded with a smile, sighing that the Qin Dynasty relied on its strong army, only knew the strict punishment and strict law, and did not use education to subdue people's hearts, so it was defeated.

"Shw! It is still the great tomorrow dynasty that is benevolent and righteous, and the foreign ministers of the lower states are all admired! Qi Bin took the opportunity to ask the Ming army to release all the Shimazu Tadakyo and other Satsuma captives.

"Didn't Saigo Takamori tell the feudal lord?!" Lu Yao looked very surprised, "The samurai who are willing to return to Satsuma, we will not stop them, they have returned to Kagoshima with Saigo last night, and the remaining more than two hundred samurai, they all volunteered to stay in Daming." ”

"Thank you for your concern, but the fathers and elders in the family are all looking forward to their return." Shimazu Saibin, Komatsu Kiyoyu, and Saigo Takamori stood up and bowed to the end, "Please!" ”

"The feudal lord doesn't know!"

Shimazu Tadashi got up and told Qi Bin that he and the rest of the feudal lords had been admitted to the Ming Dynasty, and that they would take the Ming warship to Taiwan the next day to study together.

"Daming Guozijian? Going to school?! Shimazu's face changed a few times, "This is great! ”

"Mr. Shimazu Tadashi led the team to revolt in front of the battle, he is a comrade of the revival of China, and a friend of the Ming Dynasty." Wang Tiezhu looked at Shimazu Qibin with a smile, "For the people with lofty ideals who voluntarily dedicate themselves to the rejuvenation of China, the Ming army will use them only according to their needs. ”

After three days of negotiations, Lu Yao, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Kiyoyu Komatsu, the representative of Samotoma, finally signed the "Sino-Samoto Friendship Treaty", agreeing to work together for the rejuvenation of China and create a better future for Yadong.

Qi Bin will send five hundred feudal scholars to study in the Ming Kingdom; The Ming Dynasty sold weapons and equipment to Samoto and sent military experts to help Satsuma train its army.

Satsuma agreed to Huafu Foreign Bank, Daming Bank and other commercial institutions to enter Kagoshima; Daming promised to help Satsuma rebuild the Kagoshima Industrial Zone, build Samosa's fist products, and vigorously help develop financial resources.

In addition, Satsuma made a marriage contract with the Ryukyus, and Shimazu Saibin would marry his adopted daughter Sachiko to King Shotai, the lord of the Ryukyus, and pay 50,000 taels of silver and the Osumi Islands as a dowry, and at the same time would send 10,000 laborers to Ryukyu for two years to help with the construction of Naha Port.

The fire burned for a day and a night, and by the evening the embers were still extinguished, and wisps of green smoke continued to rise, thicker than the smoke from the crater of Sakurajima. Knowing that the lord of the domain had made peace with the Ming army, the Satsuma feudal lords were all relieved.

The Japanese are very forbearing, and their forbearance is a kind of understanding of current affairs. The lord of the Satsuma domain knew the current affairs, and the samurai under the lord of the domain were even more aware of the current affairs. The overall character of the Japanese samurai is to obey the strong, as long as you are stronger than him, even if he hates you in his heart, he will completely surrender to you.

That night, the castle town of Kagoshima was filled with jubilation, and the large and small sake bars were crowded with drunk samurai.

At the seaside pier, a large white cloth was erected early. Knowing what "Chinese film and drama" the Ming army was going to show, it was also full of Satsuma people watching the excitement.

Considering the soft power of Wenxuan, the Ming Navy brought a Songhuajiang 5502X movie projector and supporting speakers, screens, power supply equipment, and several boxes of movie copies.

A strong beam of light was put on the screen, and the four big characters of "Undefeated in the East" jumped out, and then the voiceover came out, and the picture of Dongchang Fanzi negotiating with Fuso samurai jumped directly on the screen. When Shen Yujun of the Central ~ Propaganda Department organized the copying, she deleted all the subtitles that needed to be explained such as the film manufacturer and the cast.

The powerful and brilliant sound and light effects completely shocked the Satsuma people, and they were both amazed and intrigued by the constant appearance of moving characters and scenery on the screen.

More and more people gathered to watch from the beach, and many samurai who crowded into the sake brewery to buy drunk were also attracted to it. Although most people can't understand Mandarin, it doesn't prevent them from concentrating on Western scenery.

"Nima, Mingguo's martial arts are so powerful!"

"No wonder it was so easy to set fire to Isoyama!"

"Wrong, the Ming army used artillery bombardment to cause the Isoyama fire. This is the power of Lanxue, not a martial art. ”

"Boy, what are you talking about, can Lan Xue make people fly!"

The film has been screened, no audience on the field wants to leave, the entire seaside pier is already crowded, and more people are still pouring here.

The soldier in charge of the screening had no choice but to use the loudspeaker, "Dear Satsuma Bun warriors, today's film screening has ended, please continue to watch at the pier tomorrow." ”

On the second night, "The Undefeated Storm of the East Rises" was screened

On the evening of the third day, "Shushan" was screened

On the evening of the fourth day, "History of the Earth" was screened

…………

The Daming film projection team screened for six days on the coast of Kagoshima. The people of Satsuma were also enthusiastically pursued for six days, and the castle town of Kagoshima was full of talk about the Daming Shadow Theater. Although the sound and light effects of the film are extremely shocking, the Samosa people do not have a bad understanding, they know that it is just a light and shadow effect, not real.

Among them, the most impressive thing for the Satsuma people is "History of the Earth", which is a propaganda film specially produced by the Propaganda Department based on the broadcast effect of the recruit company on Myeongheung Island.

The images of the earth-shattering and cosmic desolation have left a particularly deep impression on the people of Satsuma, and the images of dinosaurs running on the land, swimming on the ocean, and flying in the sky have made the entire castle town a lively film review area.

The hot topic of the feudal schools in Satsuma (Shoshikan and Yanwukan) also shifted from Lanxue to Sinology. The Satsuma Domain School was divided into a scholar's hall and a martial arts hall to cultivate both civil and military talents, and was the base for the Satsuma people to study Lanxue.

On December 30, Lu Yao, accompanied by Shimazu Tadashi, came to the Satsuma Prefecture School and sent dozens of Japanese editions of "The Fall of the Iron Curtain" and "The Declaration of the Revival of China" to the students of the Domain.

Under the translation of Zhongjiao, Lu Yao gave a speech to all the students of the domain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in a few days it will be the New Year of our Ming Dynasty, and of course it will also be the New Year of the Xiyi people. Xiyi implements the solar calendar, and our Chinese countries have always used the lunisolar calendar. ”

Lu Yao laughed and talked about "The History of the Earth", and talked about "Chinese orthodoxy" and "Yixia culture".

He said that the Xiyi people were pale-skinned, probably because of the fire, their heads were lacking in tendons, and the calendar only considered the laws of the sun, but ignored the influence of the moon on human activities. Yadong has always been the center of the world, although in the past two hundred years, the Xiyi people have been constantly invading the world, and the grasp has been extended to Yadong, but Huaxia is naturally the master of the world, as long as they work hard, the Xiyi people will definitely be driven out of Yadong.

Lu Yao's speech was well-reasoned and well-founded, with Japanese humor, and all the students of the domain school listened attentively. Although most of the Satsuma feudal lords studied orchid studies, they were still full of pride in their own culture and despised the arrogance of Europe and the United States.

In the end, Lu Yao said loudly, "The Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Ryukyu all belong to China, the same culture, and the same species, so they should support each other, coexist and prosper!" We didn't come to Japan to look for enemies, we came to look for friends! We hope that Japan can have a strong figure, a hero like Tokugawa Ieyasu, to unite Japan into a strong whole, and stand with the Ming Dynasty to work together to coexist and prosper and rejuvenate China. ”

Lu Yao's speech and the propaganda books he distributed had a great impact on the Satsuma feudal clans.

Seeing the power of the Ming Dynasty and feeling the respect of the Ming officials for Samosa, the Satsuma vassals were satisfied, and they began to discuss the "Chinese orthodoxy" and "Yixia cultural theory" enthusiastically, and fiercely debated the future of Japan and the future of Yadong.

The overall character of the Japanese is to obey the strong, as long as you are stronger than him, then even if he hates you in his heart, he will completely surrender to you. Soon, Shimazu Tadakyo recruited a full list of feudal lords who went to study in the Ming Dynasty.
