If the Tokugawa family could still rely on more than 100,000 troops to bargain with the Ming generals before, then now when there are less than 30,000 people left, they can only hope for the mercy of the other party, hoping that they will not take advantage of the fire to rob and destroy all these 30,000 troops.

"Please! Please! No... I personally went to greet the general of the kingdom. Tokugawa Hidetada hurriedly stood up, and hurried to the outside of the tent with the only remaining retainers, daimyo and a sect to greet Li You, and when they saw Li You, they bowed and greeted him.

"Hehe, why should Tokugawa's nephew be so polite." Li You said with a smile, but he didn't have the slightest intention of letting them be exempted, and after receiving a salute generously, he was surrounded by everyone in the tent, and came to the top to sit down, Tokugawa Hidetada and him sat on the head, and the rest of the people knelt and sat down.

"Congratulations to Kennie Tokugawa for taking Osaka Castle, defeating the Toyotomi family, and taking the land of Kansai in his hands." Li You took the lead in sending congratulations, and he was also smacked by the power of the Nanban fire, which was even more powerful than the incendiary bombs of the army of the United States in later generations, and the tragic situation of Osaka City was completely beyond his imagination.

"Thank you, General." Tokugawa Hidetada responded with a wry smile, although Ishida Mitsunari and most of the Western Army daimyo are now dead, but with his current 30,000 people, how easy is it to completely control the Kansai generation? "My Tokugawa family also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and I am afraid that the plan to march into Kansai will be delayed, so I want to go back to Edo to recuperate for a while, and then think about how to deal with Kansai."

Tokugawa Hidetada also took the opportunity to complain to Li You, wanting Li You to reduce the compensation for Daming, and now the Tokugawa family is afraid that they can't afford this compensation anyway, and Okubo Tadashi and others also lamented again and again, saying that their situation is extremely miserable.

But their misery was deliberately done by Li You, how could he be moved by it? Throwing these words aside as a deaf ear, and then Li You said straight to the point, "Previously, this official and Ieyasu Gong had agreed to pay compensation after the complete defeat of the Western Army, but now that Osaka has fallen, Toyotomi Hideyori, Ishida Mitsunari and others have died, and Tokugawa Kennie still handed over the heads of those Western Army daimyo and the compensation that should be paid to the official earlier, and the official should return to the Ming Dynasty." ”

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the tent suddenly dropped rapidly, and the cold language made Tokugawa Hidetada, Okubo Tadasaku and others feel the cold wind of winter in the midsummer season, Okubo Tadasa hurriedly knelt forward and knelt down at Li You's feet and begged, "Please forgive the general of the country, the head of the Western Army daimyo and the remains of Toyotomi Hideyori can be handed over to the general, but now Osaka Castle has been burned down, and my Tokugawa army has also suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid... It is feared that it will not be possible to pay these compensation in a short period of time. ”

"It has been more than two years since General Ben led his army across the ocean to arrive in the Wa Kingdom, and that's all for this, do you want General Ben to continue to wait like this?" Li You looked around at everyone with cold eyes, and everywhere he looked, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other, after experiencing the battle of Sekigahara and the tragedy of the Osaka Summer Battle, the 30,000 army in the hands of this general can already be said to be the most powerful force in the Wa Kingdom, once he is angered, the consequences are unimaginable.

"General Chen, it is true that you will not be able to get so much compensation in a short period of time, but you can first make up a sum of money and grain for the fleet to take away first, and then pay the balance year by year until the payment is settled." Tokugawa Hidetada didn't dare to anger Li You, so he could only come up with a backup plan, hoping that Li You could give some time.

"Hehe, if General Ben leads his army away, will you pay compensation as promised?" Li You sneered, Tokugawa Hidetada's plan to delay the army fell through, "If General Ben repays Your Majesty as you say, and waits until next year when it is time to pay compensation, but does not wait for the ship you will transport the compensation, what will Your Majesty do with me?" This is a crime of deception! ”

Allowing Tokugawa Hidetada and the retainers of the Tokugawa family to plead in every way, Li You bitten his attitude and did not agree to their request to delay the payment in batches no matter what, and when he said that he pretended to be angry later, he got up and prepared to return to the camp to mobilize troops to attack Tokugawa Hidetada's military camp, and these people quickly knelt down and begged to stop him.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of these people, Li You did not waver in the slightest, he knows a lot about the character of the Japanese people, don't look at them crying pitifully now, but when they turn over, it will be Lin Yi's face again, for such a nation must not be spared, the more you forgive them, the more they think you are weak and can be bullied; On the contrary, the more they abuse them, the more these people will admire and obey you.

Since Li You said that he couldn't move here, and they couldn't defeat Li You's army, then they had to find a way to make up enough for this indemnity, but the figures that Li You had agreed with Tokugawa Ieyasu before were too huge, including: The total cost of silver paid by the Ming Dynasty to aid Korea was 8,835,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of rice were paid, and the compensation for this one should be doubled, with a total of 20 million taels of silver; the bereavement compensation for the soldiers killed in the war of the Ming Kingdom was six million taels; The loss of the Ming warships was three million taels; The military expenditure of the Daming Navy Division's expedition to the Wa Kingdom was 1.5 million taels....... The total amount is more than 40 million taels.

In fact, these Tokugawa Ieyasu did not agree at the beginning, according to his idea, after defeating the Western Army, he would scavenge Osaka Castle and give Li You a few million taels of silver, at that time he had hundreds of thousands of troops, and it was expected that Li You would not dare to chase too much, but he did not expect that the Eastern Army had suffered heavy losses one after another, and he was no longer able to threaten the Daming Water Division, and this huge amount became a real deal.

And this is only the compensation demanded by the Ming State, not including North Korea, North Korea's loss will only be greater than the Ming Dynasty's payment, what if Li You has to help North Korea ask for compensation? Of course, this money will definitely not fall into the hands of the Li dynasty of Korea in the end, and it will still be dedicated by Li You to the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

With 40 million taels of silver, even if they take Osaka Castle intact and loot all the wealthy merchants in Osaka Castle, I'm afraid they won't be able to come up with so much money, right? After just experiencing the devastation of the fire, the Tokugawa family has ushered in the torture of the worse, how to deal with this hurdle?

Li Youya tasted the good tea leisurely, and waited for a long time before a gap was slightly revealed, "Since the Tokugawa family can't take out this silver now, then this general is not easy to chase too much, I have another plan, I don't know what you think?" ”
