On the seventh day of the tenth month of the third year of Kawasaki Takesei, the Huaxia Navy successfully ambushed the combined forces of the Kagoshima Domain, the Tochihara Domain (note: a branch of the Satsuma Domain), the Takabe Domain, and the Obi Domain
In the battle, the four feudal domains lost more than 80 large and small ships, more than 6,000 warriors died lightly, and more than 20 grain ships were intercepted by the Xia army, and only less than one-fifth of the human ships escaped The news reached Kofu, and the shogunate was terrified, plus the information that the Xia army had sent thousands of reinforcements in batches from the three envoys of the peace talks, and the general Tsunayoshi finally lowered his head
As a result, on October 17, the 14th year of the 14th year of the Japanese Genroku in the third year of the Chinese Takesei, the two countries formally signed the "Summer Shin Tsu Trade Treaty" (known in Japan as the "Rixia Genroku 14th Year Trade Treaty") to replace the "Genroku Rixia Trade Style" previously promulgated by the shogunate
The Summer Trade Treaty consisted of seven articles, the general contents of which were:
A Huaxia formally established diplomatic relations with Japan, and the shogunate agreed to Huaxia's courier in Edo;
B: Japan opened 14 treaty ports, including Hirado, Nagasaki, Shimonoseki, Miho (Matsue), Maizuru, Imabari, Kobe, Tsushima (Nagoya), Yokohama, Ishinomaki, Akita, Sakuta, Niigata, Wajima, etc.; At all treaty ports, Huaxia had the right to set up envoys (consuls) stationed in Honglu to coordinate summer trade conflicts and other affairs; The shogunate was to set aside sufficient commercial space at each treaty port for the establishment of garrisons, embassies, merchants' guilds, shops, warehouses, liquor stores, and residential areas. The shogunate allowed the Chinese to employ Japanese in the treaty ports, and allowed the hired Japanese to enter and leave Japan freely, except that the entry of the Cheshitan Christians into Japan was subject to the consent of the shogunate and they were not allowed to stay in Japan for a long time; The shogunate allowed Huaxia to set up inspection divisions in commercial areas to enforce Huaxia law, and civil and criminal cases endogenous to commercial lands were tried by Huaxia. The shogunate guaranteed the safety of the person and property of Chinese merchants at the treaty ports, but the Chinese merchants were not allowed to enter the interior of Japan more than one mile away from the treaty ports.
(c) Japan recognizes the islands north of the Tsugaru Strait as Chinese territory; Japan handed over the Goto Islands, formerly known as the Fukue Domain, to the Huaxia Kingdom; The losses of the lords of the two places were appeased by the shogunate itself, and had nothing to do with Huaxia;
At the request of Huaxia State, the shogunate granted Tagawa Nanazaemon 100,000 stone daimyo family qualifications, and changed the Tsushima clan to the Tagawa clan, and the Tagawa clan became the master of the Tsushima Islands, responsible for the trade between Japan and Korea;
E. Japan compensated the merchants of the Huaxia State for the loss of 800,000 yuan of Wucheng gold guan, and compensated Huaxia ** fee of 8,876,423 guan of Wucheng silver; Japan also paid for the ransom of Sado Island, and Takesei Jinguan 400,000 kan;
In view of the limited financial resources of the shogunate and its inability to repay it all at once, the Huaxia Kingdom agreed to pay Japan a one-time compensation of 600,000 guan and 770,000 kan of silver, and the rest of the gold and silver guan were converted into blister copper and repaid in 15 years at an annual interest rate of 8%, and could not be returned early; During the repayment period, the right to operate the Bezi Copper Mine is used as collateral;
After repeated pleas from the shogunate, the Huaxia Kingdom agreed to end the Hibiscus trade; As compensation for the termination of the Hibiscus trade in Huaxia, the shogunate will compensate Huaxia Keicho in a lump sum of 200,000 pieces, in addition to the "Summer Trade Treaty", on the same day, Dai Shuyong, the minister of peace plenipotentiary in China, also signed the "Asahi Shin Trade Treaty" and "Ryu-Hin Shin Trade Treaty" with the shogunate on behalf of Korea and the Ryukyus
The Asahi Shin Trade Treaty consists of four articles, the general contents of which are as follows:
A Asahi established formal diplomatic relations, with the Chinese messenger in Edo performing the corresponding duties;
B. Joseon took back the Luliang Wakan and set up the Korean merchant hall in Tsushima instead; The shogunate agreed to give Korea the same treatment as China in Tsushima, that is, to set up commercial sites, hire Japanese services, and ensure the safety of Korean merchants' personal and property;
C. The shogunate paid 200,000 pieces of silver for the Korean military expenses;
The Ding shogunate paid the expenses of the Iki State and the Oki Kingdom to Korea in 15 years, and the principal and interest were calculated as 450,000 yuan of silver in Wucheng
There are also four articles in the Treaty of Commerce of the Řížin, the general contents of which are as follows:

(c) Japan cedes the islands south of the Osumi Strait to the Ryukyu Kingdom; The shogunate promised to move out of the islands south of the Osumi Strait within six months, and that the Ryukyus should allow the Japanese people and lords to take their belongings with them when they withdrew.
The Ding shogunate compensated the Ryukyu military expenses in a lump sum and counted 100,000 yuan in silver
The signing of the treaty between the four countries not only brought the end of the summer war, but also confirmed China's suzerainty over Korea and the Ryukyus
