The Ming army had taken control of Osaka.

The discipline of the Ming New Army has been good so far.

Chongzhen didn't want to break the discipline of the new army, so he didn't let burning, killing, and plundering.

Once burning, killing, and plundering, once it starts, it is like a beast that tastes human flesh, and it can no longer be contained.

Chongzhen was already under the escort of Gao Qiqian, Lu Jiude, Jiang Tianyi and some officers and soldiers of the guard brigade, and came to the stone mountain in the center of Osaka Castle, and was standing in front of the mountain gate of Honganji Temple at the moment.

The name of the book makes Chongzhen always a little stupid and can't tell the difference.

What Honnoji Temple, Honganji Temple, it always feels weird, and it makes people uncomfortable to listen to.

But what's even more uncomfortable is the architectural style and name of the small day, such as torii gates, approaches, or worship halls, but fortunately, the garbage will disappear soon.

It won't be long before the culture of the little days will be annihilated.

Although the culture of Xiaori is a branch of Chinese culture, there is no need for such an inferior branch to exist, so let it be annihilated in the long river of history.

Gao Qiqian also thought that Chongzhen was interested in the architecture of the Japanese Kingdom.

Immediately asked in a low voice: "Long live Lord, do you want to go in and worship?" ”

"Sacrifice a fart, what is there to sacrifice in the temples of the Wa Kingdom."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he asked Zheng Zhilong: "Min Guogong, what about your people?" ”

"Someone has been sent to pick it up." Zheng Zhilong replied, "It should be almost there." ”

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Zheng Zhilong's voice had just fallen, Shi Lang led Zheng Wangcai and Xu Sanguan to Hongan Temple, and then knelt on the ground with a puff: "Long live the emperor and the grass people." ”

"Get up." Chongzhen thought to himself, what is this called?

When the two of them got up, Chongzhen asked again, "How long have you been in Osaka?" ”

Zheng Wangcai said: "Caomin Wanli followed his father to Osaka to do business for forty years, and it has been almost forty years. ”

Xu Sanguan also said: "The villain was sold to Osaka by Hongyi at the age of thirteen, and it has been more than 20 years since today, and a few days have passed during this period, but after the Shimabara Rebellion, the shogunate began to target us Ming people, neither letting us open shops, nor allowing us to leave Osaka, just treating us as cattle." ”

"That's why the Ming Navy came to Osaka." Chongzhen said solemnly.

"Daming will not give up a single person, let alone let his people be bullied, even overseas, even if it is on the territory of another country, it is not allowed!"

"The grass people and others thank the emperor for long live the emperor!"

Zheng Wangcai and Xu Sanguan were grateful, and knelt down and kowtowed.

But in addition to gratitude, there is more inexplicable excitement.

The Ming Navy is here, and with the people behind them, they should be able to get back the property they lost before, right? I took mine and gave it back, and I spit it out after eating mine, hum.

Chongzhen then asked, "I ask you, how many people are there in Osaka?" ”

"Huh? How many people? Xu Sanguan looked confused, how do I know this?

Zheng Wangcai said: "The exact number is not clear, but it is estimated that there will be no less than 300,000 people, of which at least half live inside Osaka Castle and the other half live outside the city." ”

"300,000 people?" Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this.

Zheng Zhilong, Shi Lang and other naval generals also clenched their fists hard.

Because it's not people, it's money, and it's all walking silver tickets.

Before sending troops, the saint clearly said that 30% of the income from the slave trade was taken out as a bonus, even if it was calculated according to 20 yuan per slave worker, 300,000 people would be a full 6 million yuan!

Thirty percent of six million yuan is 1.8 million!

20,000 troops and 10,000 navy, each person can share a bonus of 60 yuan!

In addition, after the shipping shipbuilding silver has profits, there can also be dividends, which is cool.

"I guess not anymore now." Zheng Wangcai said, "Some merchants ran away before, and after the defeat of the shogunate army, a considerable number of Osaka citizens ran away, and now it is estimated that only half of them are left." ”

"It doesn't matter if they run away, they'll come back." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, Shopkeeper Xu, if you have to go and tell the merchants and citizens of Osaka, just say that the Great Tomorrow soldiers are here to settle old accounts with the Japanese emperor and shogun, and they have nothing to do with the merchants and citizens of Osaka, as long as they are willing to come back, they can do business as usual, and the Great Tomorrow soldiers will not kill people casually, let alone rob their property casually."

"Huh?" Zheng Wangcai and Xu Sanguan were immediately disappointed when they heard this.

At that moment, Zheng Wangcai asked in a low voice: "Long live the lord, the grass people have a ticket number that has been in business for many years, and it was taken away by the Sumitomo family, can the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow help take it back?" ”

Xu Sanguan also followed up and said: "There is also a grocery store in the villain's house." ”

Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to get it back, all the people of the Ming Dynasty, all the losses will be able to be made up for in the end, and there will be no loss of a point!" ”

Zheng Wangcai and Xu Sanguan immediately came back to life with full blood and left happily.

Zheng Zhilong was a little regretful: "Saint, Osaka is the largest trading port in the Japanese country, and the bulk goods such as rice, cotton, and raw silk of the Japanese country will be traded in Osaka, so the accumulated wealth is also extremely huge, and more importantly, the Sumitomo family, which almost covers the copper smelting industry of the Japanese country, is in Osaka Castle, do we really not take it?" ”

Zheng Zhilong really felt sorry, because Chongzhen's reputation has always been good, and there is nothing he can't do what he said, so he really believed Chongzhen's words, thinking that he would not loot the merchants and citizens of Osaka.

Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "How can there be a reason to return empty-handed when entering Baoshan?" ”

"Gah?" Zheng Zhilong was a little stunned when he heard this, "Didn't the Holy Lord say ...... just now?"

"You want to say that you are not joking? Or maybe it's a promise? Chongzhen said, "Jun Wu jokes to see who he is talking to, I am not the emperor of the Japanese country, what kind of commitment do you make to the Japanese people?" ”

Zheng Zhilong immediately laughed happily when he heard this.

Such an emperor is a good emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really enjoyable to follow such an emperor.

In the next few days, the soldiers of the Ming army still did not commit any crimes against the merchants and citizens of Osaka, and even sent a number of troops to patrol the streets to maintain order.

So the security in Osaka has become better.

After hearing about this scene, the citizens of Osaka and the merchants who had fled before returned one after another.

As a result, Osaka's commercial activities became more prosperous, because the arrival of more than 30,000 Ming troops also brought huge consumer demand to Osaka.

……

Half a month later, the commercial order in Osaka had been fully restored, and the negotiation mission sent by the Tokugawa shogunate finally arrived outside Osaka Castle and asked for negotiations.

Masamori Horita originally just wanted to negotiate with the commander of the Ming army.

Therefore, when he heard that the Ming Emperor personally led the troops, he almost lost his jaw.

Taken aback at the same time, Horita Masamori also felt a headache, if it was only a civilian official or military general of the Ming Dynasty who led the army to recruit Japan, then the matter would be easy to do, but now that the emperor is there in person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good.

It is certain that Japan will have a heavy hemorrhage this time, so I don't know how much compensation will be paid in the end?

After the peace talks officially began, Masamori Horita's speculation was quickly confirmed.

Emperor Daming came up and put forward four conditions: "First, the entire territory of Kyushu Island will be ceded to Daming; second, to compensate the Ming Dynasty for all the losses suffered by the Ming Dynasty over the past 400 years, including 10 million taels of gold, 100 million taels of silver, and 100 million catties of copper; Third, all coastal cities in the territory of the Japanese Republic were opened to treaty ports, and free trade of merchant ships with the permission of the Daming City Shipping Company was allowed; Fourth, Emperor Shohito and shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu apologized. ”

"This, this, this, this ......" Masamori Horita was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

None of these four conditions could be met by the Tokugawa shogunate, and it was impossible.

If he dared to accept such humiliating conditions, he would not have to go back to Edo, and he would have found a place to seppuku halfway.

At that moment, Horita Masamori said with a bitter old face: "Respected Emperor Your Majesty, the four conditions you mentioned are really difficult to achieve, can you lower the standard?" ”

Although Masamori Horita was not from the merchant class, he also knew how to do business.

At that moment, Horita Masamori began to bargain: "It is impossible to cede the entire island of Kyushu, and it is absolutely impossible to open all port cities in Japan, but the Tokugawa shogunate can consider turning Nagasaki Castle into a free domain, which will be jointly managed by the officials stationed in the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese officials, and allow the Ming merchants to trade freely." ”

As for the compensation and the seppuku apology of the emperor and the general, Horita Masamori did not mention it.

There is no room for negotiation in this matter, and the ambition of the Ming Emperor must be nipped in the bud.

However, the reaction of the Ming Emperor was once again unexpected by Horita Masamori, and he drove people away.

After Emperor Ming finished speaking, the Duke of Min Guo, who acted as the interpreter, directly turned his face: "Horita Masamori, you can go back to Edo, and by the way, tell Tokugawa Iemitsu to wash his neck and wait honestly." ”

"What does it mean to wash your neck and wait honestly?" Masamori Horita really didn't understand.

"Stupid, that means waiting for us to kill him." Zheng Zhilong snorted, "Now you can get out!" ”

"Get out!" Several rows of naval non-commissioned officers guarding the sides of the deck immediately drew their waist swords, and Horita Masamori and the two samurai accompanying him were shocked.

……

The first peace talks unsurprisingly failed.

Horita Masamori walked down the gangway with a heavy heart, and after going ashore, he couldn't help but glance back at Zhou Yu, only to see that the warship of the Ming Dynasty was like a steel giant squatting outside Osaka Castle.

As if to demonstrate to Masamori Horita and his party, just as they looked back, the 32 battle sheds on the shore side of the Zhou Yu opened their shooting holes at the same time and pushed out 32 naval guns.

Looking at the upper and lower rows, as many as 32 black holes in the muzzles,

Horita Masamori's mood suddenly became even heavier.

The only good news is that the Ming Dynasty is the Celestial Empire after all, and it did not burn and loot Japanese cities after they were conquered, like those Hongyi.

After leaving Osaka, Horita Masamori rushed back to Edo overnight.

This time the return to Edo was much faster, and it only took five days for Masamori Horita to return to Edo.
