Chapter 1343: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks
Vicious!
I really didn't expect that the Ming Empire and the Qingshan Shogunate would be so ruthless! Leave no stone unturned!
Dongying domestic.
However, the prestige of the Aoyama Shogunate in Toei is far less than that of the Tokugawa Shogunate, but this is not to say that the Aoyama Shogunate is really vulnerable, you must know that Aoyama Tadashi not only inherited all the power of the Tokugawa Shogunate, but also, almost all the powerful feudal towns in the entire Toei have been destroyed by the Ming army, Aoyama Tadashi's strength is not as good as Tokugawa Iemitsu, it does not mean that there is no strength, in today's Honshu Island, Aoyama Tadashi's control is more deep, after all, Cha Bolt and Aoyama Tadashi teamed up, Coupled with the Shimazu family and the Matsuura family, who only obeyed the order of the chasu, it can be said that more than seventy percent of the power of Toei is in the hands of the chasui and Aoyama Tadashi, and the infiltration of the power of the Aoyama shogunate into the various feudal towns is more than that of the Tokugawa iemitsu!
These short-sighted feudal towns have just come into contact with the four countries of the West, and they have been targeted by the Ming Intelligence Department and the people of Qingshan Zhongjun, and they have not made a move, they are waiting for the order of the imperial court, and now that Zhu Jie's will has arrived, where will the investigation bolt stay?
The special operations battalion in the Tianxiong Army and the army of the Aoyama Shogunate suddenly surrounded the mansions of various feudal towns with lightning speed, and then there was a bloody storm, and the country fell into a crazy massacre again, but this time, it was not the Ming army that led the massacre, it became the Aoyama Shogunate!
Want to overthrow the imminent reign of Dongying? Grandmother!
Of course, Aoyama Tadashi will not do it, even if there is no note to check the bolt, Aoyama Tadashi will choose to take action as soon as possible, and say that these hidden dangers will be nipped in the bud!
In this matter, Aoyama Tadashi's attitude is more ruthless than Cha Shu, after all, he is different from Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Iemitsu is a generation of Ming masters, if it is not for the forced intervention of the Ming Dynasty, the Tokugawa Shogunate will last for three hundred years, Aoyama Tadashi does not have the ability and means of Tokugawa Iemitsu, he can only use the strength of Cha Bolt to wipe out all those who can threaten his status, to replace my Aoyama Tadashi's position, not to mention those big names, even if the four Western countries come together, it will definitely not work!
In order to be able to maintain his position of power, Aoyama Tadashi has begun to recruit troops again, expanding his army from 40,000 to 100,000 in one go, all deployed in Edo, Osaka and Nagoya.
If the four countries of the West dare to attack Dongying, then the Aoyama shogunate will fight to the death with the support of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a hundred years of fighting! The most annoying thing for the four Western countries is that Tadashi Aoyama officially issued a decree that Toei will implement tax exemption on Ming goods entering Toei, and impose a tariff of 15% on goods entering Toei from Western Shikoku!
Aren't you going to get involved in the Dongying trade? Didn't you ask for a free business in Dongying, okay, promise you, but pay me the tax, fifteen percent!
Looking at the whole world, I'm afraid that this is also the highest tariff among all countries, in a word, Dongying's silver is not so easy to earn!
"Look at it, look at it, 15 percent tariff, how the hell is this special thing? Than Tokugawa Iemitsu's reign, the tariff has more than doubled! Do you still want to earn money from Dongying? Earn a fart! Our profits have become other people's taxes! ”
Earl Cohen yelled angrily, "Are you happy? Happy? Do you think the Ming Empire is so easy to take advantage of? As long as we show the slightest bit of disunity, we will be exploited by the Ming Empire! Broken by each other! ”
Wiman pursed his lips and replied, "Cohen, do you still have the face to say?" Didn't you come up with this strategy? What do you say, first find a spokesperson in Dongying, and find an opportunity to overthrow the Aoyama Shogunate, but you overthrew the Aoyama Shogunate? It's useless, even the intelligence officers we sent with us are all dead in Dongying! Now that the Aoyama Shogunate is completely enraged, I see how you play? You play, you play? ”
Cohen's face froze, yes, this bad idea was made by himself, he didn't steal chickens, but ate rice!
"Alright, alright! Don't be so crooked, the most important thing now is to return to the negotiating table, first get the Ming Empire, and then put pressure on the Aoyama Shogunate with the Ming Empire, asking the Aoyama Shogunate to reduce import duties! Otherwise, do you think the Aoyama Shogunate, which is now jumping off the wall, will still care about our forced palace? ”
James didn't have a good breath and said, "With the support of the Ming Empire, Aoyama Zhongjun broke the jar and broke it, we don't have any temper at all!" Think about it first, send fire to the Ming Empire! ”
"James was right!"
Dale said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time for us to really fight a decisive battle with the Ming Empire, in terms of the strength in our hands, it is not a problem to defeat the Ming fleet, but if you want to defeat the Ming army or the army of the Qingshan Shogunate, it may not be the kings or emperors of the two countries to make concessions, it is almost an impossible task, since it is not possible to attack hard, then we can only negotiate peace, agree to the conditions of the Ming Empire, and then give the Ming Empire emperor face, let the Ming Emperor come forward and reduce the Dongying tariff for us!" ”
Cohen is also helpless, if he opposes it again, the things that follow, it will be even more difficult to handle, I don't know if the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be isolated, and when the time comes, there will be no friends around, and there will be only one ending, that is, he will be driven out of the Eastern world and completely beaten by chickens and eggs!
"Okay, I agree with your proposal, let Kluivert negotiate with the Ming Empire again, as long as we can trade freely and reduce Dongying's trade tariffs at the same time, it's not impossible for us to agree to some conditions, as for the Ming Empire's cancellation of domestic tariffs, it's better to ask us for domestic advice first, right? It's not something we can decide, and it would be great if the four kings were willing to waive each other's customs duties, and in the end it would be us merchants who would be cheaper! ”
Cohen replied reluctantly.
"So what are you waiting for?"
Dale shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Draw up the paperwork, immediately send someone to Tianjin Wei, and hand it over to the four envoys, this time the negotiation can only succeed, not fail, as for some conditions, as long as it is not excessive, then it will not hurt for us to agree......"
The four governors each drafted a document and ordered someone to send it to Tianjin Wei, and at the same time began to send a letter to Dongying's fleet, ordering the fleet to start returning from Dongying, and now that the Ming Empire has agreed, there is no point in staying in Dongying, and it is a waste of money and food!
