Chen Shou, as the plenipotentiary envoy of King Yong, accompanied by Sun Xiu, slowly sailed into the Maguan Strait on the largest warship as the flagship of the Han army. On the side of this warship, two big Chinese characters are engraved: "Sunset", so this warship is called "Sunset".

The Sunset was named by Liu Yin himself, as for why it was called Sunset, Liu Yin didn't say it to anyone, so everyone was confused. Some people speculate that Liu Yin likes the beautiful scenery of the sunset, so he named this warship Sunset, but if he likes the sunset, he can directly call it Sunset or Sunset, if it is a little poetic, it can also be called Sangyu, but it is called Sunset, straight and white, which makes people feel inexplicable.

On its southern shore were the new kings of the Yamatai and Gounu kingdoms and the various lords of their small vassal states, and on the northern shore were the great kings of the Yamato kingdom and several small lords of the island of Honshu, who had already received orders to wait for King Yong's envoy in the Mahone Strait.

Now the kings of the Wa Kingdom have long lost the royal demeanor of the original high-flying and domineering command, and one by one they bow down and tremble, as if they are waiting for the final judgment of their fate.

After entering the Maguan Strait, the Sunset did not dock, but anchored in the sea near the south coast. Soon an official came by boat and announced, "Your Excellency the envoy has an order, please go to the Sunset." ”

It turned out that the place of negotiation and negotiation selected by the Han people was on the warship, and the lords of various countries suddenly realized that of course, whether they were on the shore or on the ship, they were not qualified to pick and choose. With the help of the Han army, these lords and their accompanying envoys boarded the small boat prepared for them and sailed to the Sunset.

The Sunset was the largest of the ships built by the Han army, larger than several other warships, and although these Japanese lords lived near the sea, the Japanese people often went to the sea to fish, and it was not uncommon for ships to go to sea to fish. But a ship as large as the Sunset was the first time they had seen it in their lives, and they were surprised and amazed.

The Han army was able to cross the sea to come, indicating that their shipbuilding capacity was far above the Japanese people, they had not seen it before, and they were only guessing at most, seeing such a huge warship today, these lords could not help but sigh that they were not wronged in losing, and in the competition with such a huge opponent as the Han Dynasty, they were completely egg-hitting stones, and they were not able to measure their strength.

On the deck of the Sunset, covered with a thick carpet, Chen Shou sat leisurely behind a few cases, watching the lords and envoys of the Japanese Kingdom rush in, but he bowed his head slightly, and did not get up to greet him.

As the envoy of the kingdom, Liu Yin, the king of Yong, represented by Chen Shou, naturally did not need to give equal gifts to these defeated countries, but the lords and envoys of various countries, after boarding the deck, under the guidance of the waiters, sat down in their own places, and respectfully gave courtesy, not daring to slack off at all.

Chen Shou sat in the center, Yan Xun and Sun Xiu accompanied each other on the left and right, Chen Shou looked at everyone's bearing, took a document, and read it out loud.

Some of these lords of the Japanese kingdom can understand Chinese, and even if they can't understand it, there are interpreters around them who translate Chen Shou's words into the original language. As Chen Shou read sentence by sentence, the faces of these people became more and more ugly.

Although they had been mentally prepared in advance, they were shocked to relocate all the Japanese people from Tsukushijima, Iyojima, and Honshu to Ezo Island.

Ezo Island (later called Hokkaido Island) is the northernmost of the four islands of the Japanese Province, although it is larger than Chikushi Island and Iyo Island, but the climate there is cold and harsh, except for a few indigenous Ainu people, it is almost a wasteland, all the Japanese people are relocated to Ezo Island, what is the difference between that and genocide?

Some of the lords expressed strong dissatisfaction and expressed their refusal to accept such a relocation plan.

Chen Shou glanced at them contemptuously and said, "King Yong will not force any of you, but if you refuse to sign the treaty, then you will be regarded as an enemy of the Han Dynasty, and you can go back and gather your people and tribes to fight to the death with my Han army." There is only one chance today, and if you give up this opportunity, you will lose it forever. ”

Although Chen Shou's words are plain, but in the ears of the lords of the country, it is chilling, if they really have the strength to fight again, how can they sit here with a servile face, the people who should fight have already struggled, the army they have, has long been wiped out, and now among the countries of the Japanese land, there is no longer the strength to fight again, Chen Shou's words are very clear, if they refuse to sign, it is equivalent to the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and the fate of the enemy will undoubtedly be completely extinct.

Although they came and went freely, these people knelt there, and they didn't even have the courage to move, because they knew that if they left here, they would lose their lives, and if they stayed here, they could survive.

But let him move to Ezo Island, but it is also 10,000 unwilling, although most of them have never been to Ezo Island in their lives, but the treacherous natural environment there is unknown to everyone.

Many lords were in tears, kneeling and kowtowing to ask Chen Shou to take back his life, they could accept other harsh conditions, but refused to immigrate to Ezo Island.

Chen Shou naturally refused without mercy, this is an order given by Liu Yin, and it is also the only order that must be carried out unconditionally, if the Japanese want to survive, they must immigrate to Ezo Island.

"King Yong's tolerance and generosity have given you a place of autonomy, and at the same time, King Yong will also give you a certain amount of food and supplies to ensure that you can live well on Ezo Island. But if you don't know what to do, you can completely ignore King Yong's kindness. You can choose for yourself, of course it is time-limited, and if you have not signed it before sunset, you will never see this treaty again. ”
