In addition to mines, cultural relics, ports, etc., Li You also asked for a lot of copper, saltpeter and other local products from the Wa State, which will also be used as the compensation of the Wa State to the Ming Dynasty, and finally the Wa State will be cleaned up to make up the amount of 10 million taels; In order to scrape together this money, Tokugawa Hidetada and the emperor of the Wa Kingdom were about to put their pants down, and they had to increase the oppression of the people in the country, and the people's lives became increasingly difficult, so Zhang Xianzhong's power has been more developed.

In order to deal with the opposition in Kansai and the ups and downs in various places, Tokugawa Hidetada had to hug the thighs of the Ming army, because his power alone could not control the current situation of the Wakoku, so the contract was finally approved, and they gritted their teeth and drank this cup of wine.

A few days later, on the newly built Chunfan Tower, Li You and the current King of the Japanese Slave and the Tokugawa Hidetada, who had just ascended the throne of the general of the Zhengyi, came upstairs to sit downstairs, ready to formally conclude the alliance, and the accompanying Ming generals were all smiling, this time they reaped such a great credit, and after returning to the capital, they will definitely be rewarded by the Wanli Emperor, and it is not a problem to be promoted to make a fortune.

On the other hand, the king of the Japanese slaves and the Tokugawa Hidetada were bitter, and the accompanying Okubo Tadashi and Okubo Changan and others were even more red-eyed and almost wanted to cry, as soon as this contract was signed, the Japanese country would really become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and it was tighter than the control of North Korea and other countries, and it would be difficult for the Japanese to do something in the future, but if they didn't sign, the consequences would only be more serious, and they didn't even need Li You to do it himself, as long as he led the army to withdraw, The Tokugawa clan would quickly collapse under the remnants of the Kansai daimyo and the onslaught from all over the country, so even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they could only stand here in an orderly manner, hoping that the covenant would be concluded smoothly so that Tokugawa Hidetada could breathe a little breather.

In the middle of the hall on the second floor of Chunfan Building, there is a huge desk, on which in addition to the covenant that has been drafted, there are three artifacts representing the emperor's orthodox status, and the golden seal of the Japanese slave king given to the king of the Japanese kingdom by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty; When the alliance was concluded, the Wa King had to use the seal of the Wa King in addition to his signature, Tokugawa Hidetada also had to use his own shogun seal, and Li You also had to use his own official seal as the chief of the Wa Army.

This covenant was made in four copies, one each of which was kept by the Wa king, Tokugawa Hidetada, and the Ming court, and the last copy was sent to the Ming Imperial Palace for archiving; After the three of them signed and sealed, Li You would also bring the four covenants back to the capital and hand them over to the Wanli Emperor to stamp the jade seal before all the formalities could be completed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious time has arrived, hurry up and sign the contract!" Ignoring the entangled Wa King and Tokugawa Hidetada, Li You took the lead in taking the covenant and signing his name and official position on it, and then stamped the official seal, and then handed it over to the Wa King and Tokugawa Hidetada.

The Wakuni king and Tokugawa Hidetada took the covenant with trembling hands, looked around for help, but unfortunately no one dared to come out to stop it; Seeing that they had not moved, Li You coughed unhappily, and the two of them suddenly trembled, quickly retracted their minds, picked up the pen and lowered their heads to concentrate for a moment, and finally signed their names on the covenant and stamped the seal to complete the formalities.

Just when they signed and sealed, there was a faint sobbing sound among the ministers of the Wa State who acted as witnesses on the side, thinking that they could not accept this reality, just a few years ago, the Wa State was still in Korea, invincible, and almost occupied the eight provinces of Korea in the tenth month, but now they can't even keep their own homeland.

However, Li You's mood now is extremely happy, these Japanese people have created countless sins along the coast of Daming, and later tried to use North Korea as a springboard to invade the territory of Daming, causing countless troubles to Daming, and now it is finally their turn to pay the price; After handing over these covenants to his relatives and putting them in the brocade box, Li You said to the king of the Wa Kingdom and Tokugawa Hidetada, "Now that the covenant has been completed, then it is time for this official to return to Daming and hand these over to Your Majesty, presumably it will not be long before Your Majesty will stamp the jade seal and send back the covenant kept by you." ”

"But before that, our army will still be stationed in Edo and Kyoto to assist the two of you in maintaining order in the Wa Kingdom and receiving the mines and ports handed over to the Ming Dynasty in the contract." Since these troops were sent to the Wa Kingdom, Li You would not easily withdraw them.

"Thank you General Chen for taking care of the country, and I wish General Chen a smooth journey." Tokugawa Hidetada's feelings were quite complicated when he heard this, on the one hand, he certainly did not like that his hometown Edo had a foreign army stationed, and on the other hand, he was also relieved that this army would effectively deter those daimyo who had different intentions.

For the current Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to completely control the Wa State and rule directly, so having a regime dependent on the Ming Dynasty can effectively safeguard the interests of the Ming Dynasty, but this regime cannot be too strong, and the current Tokugawa family just meets these two conditions, so Li You allowed them to continue to exist.

Leaving Chen Silkworm to continue to garrison the Wa State on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Li You took half of the ships to transport the 10 million taels of silver extorted from the Wa State, as well as countless treasures, cultural relics, classics, treasures, swords, red copper saltpeter and other things to leave Osaka Port, ready to return to the Ming Dynasty; The road was uneventful, and there was hardly any trouble, and even if there were pirates who saw such a powerful fleet, they hurried to avoid it, for fear of getting into trouble.

With the navigation skills learned from Zheng He, the journey from the Wa Kingdom to the capital is not worth mentioning at all, and Li You only took half the time of ordinary merchant ships to arrive at the port of Tianjin; The appearance of the fleet that covered the sky and the sun in the Daming sea area immediately startled the local officials, but fortunately, they saw the banner of the chief military officer of Bei Wa, and they were relieved.

Li You did not hide what the fleet was carrying when he met with the local officials, and when he heard the ten million taels of silver, the local officials were immediately stunned, and the news immediately spread rapidly, and it reached the ears of the civil and military officials in the capital and the Wanli Emperor, and even the Wanli Emperor, who was hiding in the deep palace and rarely took care of the government, could not sit still, he quickly sent the Jinyi guard to hold the holy decree to closely guard Li You's fleet, and let Li You quickly enter the capital to report.

Li You knew that this was a good opportunity to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not delay at the moment, and immediately rushed to the capital with the alliance concluded with the Wa State, the three artifacts, the "Funeral Post" and other things, and entered the palace to meet the Wanli Emperor.
