"Please also ask General Chen to show me, if we can do it, I will not refuse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Tokugawa Hidetada seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly replied, and Okubo Tadasaku and others on the side also held their breath and waited quietly for Li You's next step.

"Tokugawa's nephew first tried to find a way to get together everywhere, and see how much silver he could scrape, so that the official could take it back and pay it to His Majesty the Emperor; As for the rest, some can be paid for with other things. "Ishimi Yinshan will definitely not be able to run, as for the rest, let's see what they can come up with when the time comes," If these add up to not enough, then the rest of the money will be regarded as the arrears of the Wa Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty for the time being, and we will set a time to repay the last batch every year, and it will be paid off after ten or twenty years, but then we will definitely have to add interest." ”

"It's the way it should be." Tokugawa Hidetada had nothing to say about this, it was common for the daimyo of the Warring States period to borrow money from merchants, and they had long been familiar with this way of trading, and the plan proposed by Li You was to save them from the near death moment, from the death penalty to a suspended sentence, and then Tokugawa Hidetada used the excuse that he needed to discuss with his retainers and daimyo to send Li Yu out of the camp, and then discussed with Okubo Tadasa, Asano Yukinaga and others.

Of course, such an important matter could not be discussed in a day or two, and at this time, Li You was not idle, he gathered the craftsmen who originally built siege equipment for the Tokugawa army, cut wood and leveled the land on a hill near the sea in Osaka Castle, and ordered those craftsmen to build a sea viewing tower on this open land.

After this matter is reached, it is indispensable to sign a contract with Tokugawa Hidetada, according to Li You's intentions, this contract should go to Chunfan Building to sign, but first, Maguan is still far away from here, and secondly, he doesn't know whether Chunfan Tower has been completed now, so he can only order the craftsmen of the Japanese Kingdom to build a new Chunfan Tower here, so as to make up for Li Hongzhang's regrets back then; When Li You read the history books, he sighed every time he came here, and now it is the turn of the Japanese people to taste this taste.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you already know what General Mingguo means, how should we deal with it now?" Tokugawa Hidetada gathered his few remaining retainers and daimyo together, passed on Li You's meaning to them, and then quietly waited for the opinions of these people to see how to reduce the losses of the Tokugawa family.

"General Ming has stayed in our country for so long, if he can't reach an agreement, I'm afraid he won't return to Ming no matter what, and once he is angered, I'm afraid I can't resist with our existing forces." Okubo Tadasaku was the first to speak, he was more inclined to exchange money for the withdrawal of the Ming country, of course, the offer of 40 million taels of silver still had to be fought for, "It's just that the conditions given by the Ming general are too harsh, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay." ”

"If it weren't for the Toyotomi thief who rashly attacked North Korea, why would we have ended up like this." Some people began to complain about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and after years of conquest, it can be said that almost every daimyo has suffered heavy losses, and now they not only lose their troops but also bear the compensation to the Ming Kingdom, of course they have to blame Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But what's the use of talking about that now? No matter how much you scold, you can't change the fact that the Ming army has entered the Wa Kingdom, now it's better to find a way to coax them away, and then these people came up with a series of plans, such as continuing to lead troops to the west to search for the family wealth of the Kansai daimyos, contacting the wealthy merchants of the whole Wa Kingdom to borrow from them and finally kill them with their debts, anyway, these things are not the first time they have done it, there is no pressure at all, and some people even have the idea of a temple that also hides huge wealth, and plans to lead troops to loot the famous temples of the Wa Kingdom to raise compensation, Of course, these things are also indispensable for the oppression of the people.

Not to mention, such a sum really made Tokugawa Hidetada scrape together a lot of money, adding up to close to 10 million taels of silver, with this amount, it must be able to slow down the generals of the Ming Kingdom a little, right? As long as they are coaxed back to the Ming Kingdom, then the remaining money can be delayed, and they really can't be delayed to find another way, without the persecution of the Ming army, it is not so easy for them to collect the money.

A few days later, Tokugawa Hidetada personally came to visit Li You's camp, and came up with his own plan to ask Li You to take a look, "I can't compare with the prosperity of the Heavenly Empire, and I searched the whole country to find out these, and the rest of the part is really not enough, and I hope that the general of the kingdom will pity me and give some grace to some numbers!" ”

"It's only 10 million taels of silver, and even the military expenses and pensions for my Ming Dynasty to send troops to North Korea are not enough." Li You scoffed at this, but he knew the face of Ito Hirobumi when he persecuted Li Hongzhang in the later generations, of course he would not be moved by Tokugawa Hidetada's bitter love drama, he took a piece of paper from the side and threw it to Tokugawa Hidetada, "This official has long known that you can't make up so much money, so he has already thought of a way for you, you can take a look at this treaty first!" ”

Tokugawa Hidetada held this piece of paper with both hands, which was related to the future of the Japanese Kingdom, and looked at it word by word, only to see the following articles written on it:

1. Reaffirm that Korea and the Ryukyus are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty and that the Japanese state shall not invade;

2. Admit the mistake of the Japanese invasion of Korea, and promise to compensate the Ming State with 40 million taels of silver;

3. In view of the precedent of the Wa Kingdom crossing the sea to invade Korea, in order to prevent the recurrence of such a thing, the Wa State is henceforth strictly prohibited from building ships with the ability to go to the sea;

4. In view of the fact that the Wa Kingdom was poor and weak, and could not make up the huge sum of 40 million taels of silver for a while, the Wa State was specially allowed to pay 10 million taels of silver in advance in advance, and the remaining 30 million taels of silver were partly paid with the mines, land, treasures, etc. of the Wa Kingdom, which was limited to 10 million taels, and the last 20 million taels of silver was limited to 20 years, and 2 million taels per year;

5. In order to ensure that the Wa State could pay the indemnity on time in the next 20 years, and to ensure the safety of the mines and land ceded to the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State must cede several ports to the Ming Dynasty for garrisons, and these garrisons have the right to free navigation in the waters of the Wa State, and the construction costs and garrison costs of these ports are all borne by the Wa State;

6. Ming merchants were allowed to dock and do business in various ports of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa State was not allowed to interfere;

7. If the army, merchants, miners, etc. of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty have no right to try the crimes committed by the Ming Dynasty, they must be disposed of by the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and all judgments involving the interests of the Ming Dynasty must be recognized by the Ming officials;

8. The Wa Kingdom went to the Emperor's State name, changed its name to the Wa Nu King, and proclaimed himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, after which the King of the Wa State and the succession of the general of Zhengyi need to be recognized and canonized by the Ming Dynasty;

9. This contract shall be signed and confirmed by King Wano and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
