"Your Excellency General, Japan has always been very respectful to China, why do you want to destroy us?" Masahiro Abe felt very aggrieved, this feeling of his fate being dominated by others, no one would like it. The huge fleet of the Chinese gathered in Edo Bay, and the rulers of the Edo shogunate realized that this was a crisis, but they did not expect that the Chinese would have such great ambitions to destroy Japan.

"Humph! If you were respectful to China, you wouldn't have slandered us. Go back to your generals, and get ready to fight us to the death! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said coldly. Japan's fate was already sealed when the Chinese emperor Long Yufei gave the order.

"Shogun, it was a misunderstanding, and it has nothing to do with the Edo shogunate. We can make compensation to China, and every effort will satisfy the Chinese side. "Masahiro Abe is not dead yet, and wants to give up a little profit in order to avoid war. Although this would cost the Edo shogunate some money, it was able to keep their rule in Japan. There were also many high-ranking officials in the Edo shogunate who believed that the Chinese fleet had come this time to get some benefits from Japan. After all, these Japanese elites had also heard of Xinhuaguo's reputation in Nanyang back then.

"Reparations? Haha, I'd like to see what kind of compensation you can come up with to make up for the losses we have suffered! Lieutenant General Sun Hao asked.

Lieutenant General Wei Yong on the side also looked at Masahiro Abe with a playful face. He had already known that the negotiations would not lead to anything. Lieutenant General Sun Hao is just playing this Japanese. Compared with the compensation offered by the Japanese on their own initiative, the Chinese generals preferred to destroy Japan. Then all the wealth of Japan will be recovered. Long Yufei said that at least he could get more than 200 million Chinese yuan in Japan, which made the generals very surprised, and some couldn't believe that such a small country could be so rich. However, they all believed that what Long Yufei said must be true. This also makes them treat Japan as a fat sheep.

"General, as long as China withdraws its troops, we will not be held responsible. We can compensate China with two million taels of silver as compensation. Also, if China were to attack the emperor in Kyoto. We can make it easier too. After all, Emperor Hitoyo was the result of Emperor Renxiao, and he did so solely to sow discord between the Edo shogunate and China. Masahiro Abe hurriedly said. In his opinion. As long as the Chinese side is willing to negotiate compensation. This means that Japan still has a chance. Although two million taels of silver was very painful for the Edo shogunate, it was still a good deal if they were able to escape the catastrophe after spending this money. After all, if a war broke out, the Edo shogunate would be defeated. In addition, Masahiro Abe, as one of the elites of the Edo shogunate, did not forget to drag the emperor of Kyoto into the water. Such. By the time the Chinese went to trouble the emperor, the Edo shogunate might be able to further consolidate its rule in Japan.

"Humph! Two million taels of silver. Are you treating us as Hanako? Lieutenant General Sun Hao said disdainfully. For an individual, two million taels of silver is already a lot of wealth. But for the state, this is nothing at all. Especially for a big country like China, two million taels of silver is basically not a big deal. This time, China hopes to get 200 million Chinese dollars from Japan, and the difference between the compensation proposed by the Japanese is a hundred times, and this certainly cannot satisfy Lieutenant General Sun Hao.

"Your Excellency, General, if you are not satisfied with the amount of side dishes, this is still negotiable. We'll have another discussion. Masahiro Abe hurriedly said. Two million taels of silver, this is a rough figure given to him by the shogun Tokugawa Iekei, but at the same time it was said that if the Chinese side is not satisfied, it can float on this number. Of course, Masahiro Abe and Tokugawa Iekei would never have imagined that China's appetite would be great. Even if all the Tokugawa family's 200 years of accumulation are taken out, it is estimated that it will not be enough.

"Listen, if Japan agrees to our two conditions, we can refrain from using force against Japan!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.

"Your Excellency General, please say that as long as we can agree, we will definitely not refuse." Masahiro Abe said. At the same time, in his heart, he also secretly prayed to Amaterasu, praying that Lieutenant General Sun Hao would not make any too perverted requests.

"First, the emperor will go to the honorific title, change it to the Wa King, and bow down to China!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao said. Long Yufei said that he was very unhappy that the lord of a small country like Japan dared to call himself emperor. Even the emperors of China did not seem to be so arrogant. Isn't this typical Yoro arrogance for the Japanese?

Masahiro Abe's face was a little unnatural, but he didn't expect the first request made by Lieutenant General Sun Hao to make him a little unacceptable. Although the Edo shogunate did not take the emperor seriously, in the minds of ordinary Japanese, the emperor was a descendant of the gods and was still the sole ruler of Japan. China's demand that Japan be honored is undoubtedly a great humiliation to Japan! I guess if the Edo shogunate agreed to this, all the Japanese would oppose them! In addition, there is nothing wrong with bowing down to China. Historically, when the Central Empire was strong, weren't the surrounding countries all bowing to this powerful empire? Now that the empire has become strong again, it does not seem to be embarrassing for Japan to submit to the Central Empire again. The shogun may be reluctant, but if he can avoid war, it will be worth it.

"Your Excellency, what about the other condition?" Masahiro Abe asked. Although he knew that the first condition would not be easy to accept, he still did not refuse immediately. Such a major matter, how can he make his own decisions, and the decision must be made by the shogun Tokugawa Iekei.

"The second is to compensate us for our losses. The reputation of the empire has been tarnished, and the empire has suffered a great loss. In addition, the large-scale dispatch of troops by the empire cost a lot of military spending. And all of this is caused by you, Japan. Therefore, Japan must compensate us for our losses. We have estimated that Japan only needs to compensate us with 200 million taels of silver. As long as Japan agrees to these two conditions, we will immediately withdraw our troops. After all, we have always been peace-loving. As long as Japan no longer provokes us, we can remain friendly as a neighbor with a strip of water. Lieutenant General Sun Hao said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Masahiro Abe, the boss with his mouth open, could almost put his fist in it. Originally, he thought that the first condition proposed by Lieutenant General Sun Hao was very perverted, but he didn't expect that the second condition was even more unacceptable to him. 200 million taels of silver, the Chinese also say export! Even if I sold the whole of Japan, I guess I wouldn't be able to come up with that much money! Besides, as long as the rulers of the Edo shogunate had not had their heads caught in the door, they would not have agreed to such conditions.

"Your Excellency, are you sure this is what you are asking for?" Masahiro Abe asked with some trepidation.

"Of course, that's what we're asking for. Now that we've made our request, it's up to the Edo shogunate to say yes! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said. Of course, he also knew that the Japanese would definitely not agree to such conditions.

"Your Excellency General, such conditions are too harsh, they are simply difficult for the strong, and it is difficult for us to agree. Can the Chinese side change the conditions again? Masahiro Abe asked. He knew that if the Chinese insisted on such conditions, then this war was inevitable.

Lieutenant General Sun Hao shook his head, and then said: "This is a request made by His Majesty the Emperor of our country, and I have no right to modify it. In the same way, the Japanese side only has the right to agree or refuse! ”

Masahiro Abe's heart has sunk to the bottom. He only now understands that the Chinese did not intend to let Japan go from the beginning. Whether it is war or agreeing to China's conditions, Japan will be in a state of no return. It's just that the means of war are more direct and faster. If Japan agrees to China's conditions, 200 million taels of silver alone will be enough to destroy the whole of Japan.

"Your Excellency General, I need to tell the General, can you give us a little time?" Masahiro Abe asked. Although he had already guessed that the shogun would not agree to such a condition, he still wanted to buy a little more time.

"One day! We can give you one day to think about it, and if we don't give us an accurate answer by this time tomorrow, then we will assume that Japan has rejected our request. By that time it will begin, and war will break out! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.

Masahiro Abe wanted to say that the time of the day was too tight, but when he saw Lieutenant General Sun Hao's cold face, he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips. Anyway, he knew that this time the Tokugawa family was in trouble, and it was still more than lucky. If it is not done well, the Tokugawa shogunate, which has ruled Japan for 200 years, will be ruined because of this. As soon as he thought of this, Masahiro Abe's heart was very bitter.

Subsequently, Masahiro Abe said goodbye and left, and he only had one day, so he had to report the news to the shogunate.

"General Sun, are we really going to postpone the attack for a day? Doesn't that give those Japanese more time to prepare? Lieutenant General Wei Yong asked. In his opinion, there is no need to waste time at all.

"Wouldn't it be convenient for us to wipe them out by letting the Japanese hit Edo with all their forces?" Lieutenant General Sun Hao said with a smile. Annihilate the main forces of the Japanese in Edo, so that it is even more once and for all! (To be continued......)
