In the three days when he howled and struggled to die, Nabematsu Maru was proclaimed as the seventh shogun by Tsunade and others, and changed his name to inherit the orthodoxy of the Tokugawa family.

Of course, the young family was unable to govern in person, and the power of the shogunate fell on Tokugawa Tsunawa, who served as the deputy shogun, because Tsunaga's status was confirmed in the Tokugawa Ieyasu era, and also because Tsunado and Yoshitsu were afraid of the sharp-edged Yoshimune.

Fortunately, the internal power struggle of the Tokugawa family did not affect the peace negotiations between the shogunate and the Chinese and imperial courts.

As a result, on the ninth day of October of that year, the shogunate and the imperial court reached a compromise under the pressure of Huaxia, and the Tokugawa shogunate announced the implementation of the "Great Political Return" and handed over 800,000 koku to the Kyoto Imperial Court on the basis of this. In this way, after deducting the additional domains given to the feudal lords, the territories compensated to the Nishigoku Clan, and the direct domains lost by the shogunate in the Western Kingdom, the shogun still retained 1.4 million koku of direct domains, and was still the largest feudal lord in Japan. What was even more beneficial to the shogunate was that the shogunate returned the territory, and the shogunate also got rid of the heavy burden of paying compensation to Xia on its own.

After the issue of the territory was resolved, the two sides discussed the issue of the shogunate flag book without a program. Since the territory of the shogunate banner had added up to 2.6 million koku, it was natural that the Kyoto Imperial Court and the daimyo of the Western Kingdom would not want to see this power still in the hands of the shogunate. Naturally, the shogunate refused to give up its loyal old subordinates, and after some competition between the two sides, the shogunate, which had suffered a great loss of strength, had to make concessions again.

On October 10, the shogunate agreed to hand over the management of the flag to the emperor's court, and the emperor's court announced that the former shogunate flag book, which had more than 10,000 koku shiyuki, would be promoted to a prince at one time. The Emperor's court immediately appointed the Kuroda family as the governor of Kitakyushu, the Shimazu family as the governor of Southern Kyushu, moved the Hiroshima domain to the present and appointed the Asano family as the governor of Shikoku, and the Hiroshima 300,000 stone of the Kashoshu domain and appointed the Mori family as the governor of Sanyo Province.

At the same time, the Emperor's court appointed the Owari Domain as the governor of Tokaido, the Mito Domain as the governor of the Kanto Eight Prefectures, the Kofu Domain as the governor of Nakasendo, and the Aizu Domain as the Echigo Dewa Domain. It was only in the appointment of the governors of San'in and North 6 that the Kyoto Imperial Court played tricks.

On October 11, the Japanese Imperial Court reduced the Tottori Domain's seal from 325,000 koku to 195,000 koku on the grounds that the Tottori Domain was fighting against the Shogunate, and the Okayama Domain, a fellow clan, took over the Boqi Province. However, in order to appease the Ikeda family, the imperial court announced that the San'in family would take turns to lead one group. On the same day, the Emperor's court reduced the number of Kaga Fukui Domain to 650,000 koku for the same reason, so that the story of Kaga's million koku came to an end, but for the same purpose of appeasement, Kyoto arranged for the Maeda family and the Echizen Matsudaira family to take turns as the governor of the North 6 provinces.

It was not about itself and could provoke the relationship between the two feudal domains and the imperial court, and the shogunate was happy to watch a good show on the sidelines, although the two feudal domains whose interests were damaged were angry, but they dared not speak out in the face of the imperial court with the support of China. As a result, the Emperor's court initially established its authority with hundreds of thousands of Ishizhiyuki who had taken from the two powerful feudal clans of Tottori and Fukui.

After the issue of the domain and the flag was resolved, the negotiations between the shogunate and the imperial court became smooth.

The shogunate then recognized the imperial court as the supreme symbol of Japan, and that the emperor had the power to receive credentials, establish era names, confer official titles on courtiers, and approve marriages between feudal domains and succession by adopted sons. However, the emperor did not ask about the specific disposition of the imperial government, and the relevant powers were jointly held and exercised by the Minister Kanhaku and the Shogun and the Right Minister, including the domains to be returned by the shogun and the right to appoint the state divisions, county divisions, general prefectures, and prefectures in the feudal domains acquired by the imperial court in the western country.

It seemed that the shogunate and the imperial court had reached an agreement, and that the "combination of public and military forces" was about to be realized, but no one expected that there would be variables at this point in the matter-because of the previous promises made by Huaxia to the anti-shogunate princes in various places, the public family and the shogunate had to accept the princes' meetings imposed by Huaxia on both sides, and jointly promised that the major policies of the imperial court in the future would be "decided by the public opinion", and thus the supreme power in Japan was actually transferred to the hands of the feudal lords and senators.

In order to balance the interests of the strong and small feudal domains, to prevent some large feudal clans from manipulating the meeting, and to prevent the small feudal clans from uniting against the powerful feudal domains, the shogunate, the imperial court, and the feudal domains agreed that the princes with less than 50,000 koku had one vote, and the princes between 50,000 koku and 100,000 koku were counted as three votes, 100,000 koku and 300,000 koku had five votes, and each feudal clan with more than 300,000 koku had 10 votes.

On October 29, the thirteenth year of the Chinese Takesei, the princes of Japan gathered in Kyoto, the first princes' meeting was officially convened, Emperor Higashiyama came to the meeting, and both the general, the public and military forces below Guan Bai swore allegiance to the emperor at the same time.

There were many agendas for the first princes' meeting, such as the confirmation of the official positions of the rulers and ordinary princes, the determination of the terms of reference of the state and county divisions, etc., and there were more than a dozen topics, but there were two most important proposals, the first was about the handling of the military armaments of the various domains, and the second was the signing of the armistice treaty with China and the raising of reparations.

Of course, the disposition of the armament of each domain is a very important bill. Although Japan is now at peace again, the sense of oppression of the powerful feudal clans in the province over the small feudal domains within the scope of the province has become more obvious because of the virtual transformation of the shogunate, so each feudal domain is unwilling to give up the force to defend itself, but it costs a lot of money to maintain armaments, so how to strike a balance when the financial resources of each feudal domain are limited? The big domains, the small domains, the generals, and the imperial court all had their own considerations.

After several days of debate, the proposal proposed by the Ōzu clan was appreciated by most of the princes. According to the plan of the Ōzu Domain, the Emperor's Imperial Court would not have a standing army, but would maintain law and order with the troops and horses of the feudal lords and the princes of each province under the control of each province, and when the governor was unable to suppress the rebellion of the Hondo Ichiku, the Shogun would lead the forces directly under the command of the Shogun and the armed forces of the adjacent provinces to assist in pacifying the rebellion, and in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies, the commanders of each province would lead their own troops and horses to join the battle under the command of the Shogun.

In this plan, the emperor's court did not have a standing army, so naturally there was no additional military expenditure, which was conducive to reducing the economic pressure of the imperial court, and the mutual checks and balances between the rulers and generals were conducive to ensuring the status of the imperial court, which was naturally recognized by the imperial court; Although the shogun had to spend his own money to raise the army, the army in hand could ensure that the position of the first warrior of the shogun's family would not be shaken, and he would naturally get the shogunate's will; Several stewards also felt that they could further highlight their status and strengthen their voice in the court, so they did not object; Although the small feudal clan was willing to oppose it, the imperial court, the shogunate, and the strong feudal clan all agreed, and they were powerless to turn the tables.

Therefore, in the end, the plan of the Dazu Domain was obtained, according to which the equivalent of one outpost (100 men) of the Xia army could be retained for every 10,000 stone Zhixing, and the equivalent of one regiment of the Xia army (750 men) could be retained for every 100,000 koku. However, it is obvious that the small princes who really only have 10,000 stones will retain a team of more than 30 people as guards at most, and the daimyo of more than 100,000 stones will also raise a regiment of soldiers and horses at most??????

After the issue of the armament of the various feudal domains was resolved, the more difficult peace treaty with Xia was placed in front of the emperor's court, the shogunate, and all the princes—according to the demands of China, Japan was to completely cede Sado, Izaki, Oki, and Izu Islands; reinstate the treaty ports and expand them to all of Japan; It may be acceptable that Chinese merchants could come and go in and out of Japan at will, and that they had the right to exploit all the mines in Japan, but it was difficult for Huaxia to demand another 10 million yuan in compensation from Japan.

However, no matter how difficult it was to meet the requirements, it had to be satisfied, and in the face of the Xia army, which still had more than 10,000 elite soldiers stationed in Osaka and Suhonjo, the princes could only learn from the experience of the shogunate, and finally approved the conditions for the imperial court to accept all of them.

On December 7, the thirteenth year of Wucheng, Xia and Japan formally signed the "Summer New Treaty" ("Treaty of Rixia Baoyong"), under which Japan unconditionally ceded all the offshore islands in China, fully opened the Japanese market, allowed Chinese merchants to prospect and open mines in Japan, increased commercial land, granted extraterritorial rights to Chinese merchants, and paid a total of 22 million yuan in compensation to China in 25 years.

In addition to authorizing the imperial court to sign the "Rixia New Treaty", the princes' council also ratified the "Ri-Joseon New Treaty", "Ri-Ryu New Treaty", "Japan-Vietnam Treaty", and "Japan-Vietnam Treaty" in one go, and while opening the market to other countries, it also compensated Korea for military spending of 370,000 guan, Ryukyu military spending of 170,000 guan, Annam military spending of 190,000 kan, and Vietnamese military spending of 200,000 kan.

On December 20, Emperor Higashiyama, who was unwilling to sign the "Rixia New Testament", abdicated, and Emperor Nakagomon practiced Zuo.

On December 21, Emperor Nakagomon told the Chinese envoys of Asaga that he was willing to be a nephew to the Chinese Emperor.

Before the Chinese court could respond, Tokugawa Tsunjo announced to the Chinese envoys that he would send Edo Castle to Emperor Takesei, along with the surrounding castles and port towns, to show the Tokugawa family's sincere repentance for provoking the previous summer conflict.

The two pieces of news that followed one after the other greatly shook the whole of Japan, and the whole of Japan once again felt the hardships after the defeat in the Battle of Shirae Estuary (note: the first battle between China and Japan was a great victory of the Tang Army). Since Japan completely eliminated the contempt for China's national policy of valuing commerce over Confucianism, the voice of sending "newly sent Tang envoys" to study in China spread throughout Japan, and "Xia Xue" also replaced "Zhuzi Xue", "Yangming Xue" and "Lanxue" as the first prominent school in Japan??????
