Zhuge Weidao just said two conditions, and Tokugawa Qizhao already has a feeling like falling into an ice cave!

Of course, a person of his position knows the importance of heavy industry and navy to Japan, otherwise Japan would not have gone to great lengths to develop heavy industry and navy.

If Japan does not have heavy industry and navy, then Japan will always have "Japan's manpower and material resources and the favor of Zhuge military advisors." If you want to turn over and counterattack, you don't even think about it.

Seeing that Tokugawa Qi Zhao didn't speak, Zhuge Weidao continued to put forward conditions - his conditions are still there! You can't just have two leashes for dogs in Japan, but you need to add a few more to be insured.

"Japan's financial efficiency is too low, and it is necessary to bring in the capital and management of the Ming Dynasty." Zhuge Weidao continued, "In addition, Japan's currency is too chaotic and incompatible with the countries of East Asia and Southeast Asia, which is very inconvenient. If Japan really wants to accept the help of the Ming Dynasty and become a member of the Ming system, it should abandon its own currency and use the Ming Yuan's silver yuan as the only legal tender. ”

Without a navy and heavy industry, Japan simply lost room for growth and the possibility of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty...... But it was still a bit difficult for the Ming to completely control Japan. But once Japan completely hands over its financial sovereignty to the Ming Dynasty, then she will be equivalent to giving everything to the Ming Dynasty and letting the Ming Dynasty take it.

Hearing this condition, not only Tokugawa Qizhao's color changed drastically, but even Zong Yixi was taken aback.

"Strategist," Zong Yixi reminded, "the Ginza of the Daikoku family is also one of the mints of Japan!" ”

Zhuge Weidao glanced at Zong Yixi, "Sect Master, do you really think that as a military advisor of the Zhuge family, I really need the little money of the Dahei family?" ”

yes, he doesn't need to!

If Zhuge Weidao was not a military advisor now, of course he would need the money of the Dahei family - but now, he was already one of the eighteen military divisions of the Zhuge family! The clan property of the Zhuge family is extremely large, and it is controlled by the military division. The benefits of participating in the management of the clan property alone have greatly exceeded the wealth that the big black family can provide.

In addition, the Zhuge family can always seize the opportunity to make a fortune, and their military advisors can pinch and calculate, so money is just a number for the rulers of the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Weidao also said: "Japan's agricultural product market must also be opened...... Japan's food is not self-sufficient, and the common people look short and small, with yellow faces and thin muscles, just for the hungry! I don't have anything to eat, and I still have so much strength to work and fight? Therefore, Japan must import a large amount of grain and feed the common people first, and then think about other things. ”

Allowing Japan to open up its agricultural markets is, of course, to destroy Japan's rice industry in one fell swoop!

At the same time, the purpose of feeding the Japanese people is to make Japan rely on imported grain forever - of course, there is not enough rice in Japan, but there are two ways to solve the problem of not enough to eat, one is to import, and the other is to starve.

At present, Japan only imports a small amount of food, and mainly relies on starvation to solve the problem of food shortage.

In today's Japan, if anyone can eat three meals a day, one meal of rice, and still have enough food, it is definitely not an ordinary family.

It's a miserable situation, but the Japanese have long been used to being hungry...... However, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. If the Japanese are fed now, then in a decade or two they will forget how to starve. Suddenly, one day, if the Ming Dynasty cut off Japan's overseas grain routes, Japan would immediately fall into chaos.

If Japan loses its heavy industry and navy, relies on the Ming Dynasty for energy supply, food for the Ming Dynasty, and finance and currency are completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, then Japan can be said to be controlled by the Ming Dynasty in all aspects, and it is simply a fool's dream to get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty. If any Japanese investor has such a mind, he doesn't even need to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, as long as he creates a financial crisis, and at the same time chokes Japan's grain route, causing the price of rice in Japan to soar, and the Japanese devils who can't eat enough will have to overthrow the government.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Your Excellency," Tokugawa Saiaki's face was already a little gloomy, "if we agree to your request, what kind of development space will Japan get?" ”

"Room for development?" Zhuge Weidao smiled slightly, and then glanced at Wang Wen, "Counselor Wang, that Charlie. How does the law of righteousness be explained? ”

Hearing this, Tokugawa Saiaki chuckled in his heart.

He and Shimazu Qiliang did a lot of calculations, but they didn't calculate that the Ming Navy was so powerful, and it could actually severely damage the Revenge, sink the Indomitable, and capture Charlie. The Law of Righteousness.

And Charlie. Once Yilu is captured, there are some things that cannot be hidden!

"Strategist, that Charlie. Yoshiro explained that the route they had taken from Yokosuka Naval Port to Osaka had been arranged entirely by the Japanese side, and that the Japanese side had arranged for two gunboats to lead the way. ”

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "What a coincidence, our route to Mito through the Seto Inland Sea was also arranged by the Japanese side, and the Japanese shogunate navy also arranged gunboats to lead the way!" ”

"And Charlie. Yoshiri didn't know that we would come from the Seto Inland Sea and enter the Kiyin Suido through the Naruto Strait that day. ”

"It shouldn't be!" Zhuge Weidao looked at the expressionless Tokugawa Qizhao, "At that time, the shogunate naval staff officer Shimadzu Qiliang should be on the Revenge, right?" Could he still not know that the four warships of the Ming Dynasty would pass through the Naruto Strait in the early hours of the same day? ”

Tokugawa Qizhao's face turned pale, "Strategist, do you suspect that Shimazu Qiliang colluded with the East India Company's pirate ships to launch an attack on you and the Ming Navy?" Is this because of the big black sky? ”

"Hehe," Zhuge smiled for the road, "Counselor Wang, have you found those four boats?" ”

"No," Wang said, "there is no trace...... After the airship lost them, there was no trace of them! In addition, naval intelligence, the coast guard, the home fleet, the South Sea Fleet, and the navies of Siam and Annam have not discovered them. Never! These four boats appeared as if out of thin air. ”

"Appearing out of thin air and disappearing out of thin air...... Zhuge Weidao sneered, "It seems that these four camouflaged assault ships will never appear, right?" ”

Tokugawa Saiaki said calmly: "Maybe you can look for it......"

"It's time to look for it!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Governor Mito Saemon, thank you for your hospitality...... Our Daming conditions have been told to you now. There will be a written document to be handed over to the clan lord later! If His Royal Highness agrees to our terms, then the shogunate only needs to hand over a petition of nomination......"

"Vote?" Tokugawa Qizhao frowned, "What kind of name?" What kind of petition does Daming want? ”

"What kind of petition?" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "The Sovereign-level Revenge is being repaired in Osaka Port, right?" It's the best way to vote! ”

Hearing that Zhuge was a condition of the Tao, Tokugawa Qi Zhao was speechless. The Ming Dynasty, the superior country of the Celestial Empire, would be so shameless and let the Japanese give them the Revenge without going to war with the British Empire.

If Japan wants to do such a thing, it will become a mortal enemy with the British Empire, and it can only follow the Ming Dynasty with all its heart in the future, and it is impossible to change the court.

Zhuge Weidao said: "After handing over the letter of surrender, the two of us can start formal negotiations, and then there will be a formal cooperation agreement and covenant...... In the future, all warriors who fought with the Ming Dynasty could not only enjoy the same military salary as the Ming officers and soldiers, but also get the corresponding land in the newly conquered land of the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also set up vassal states in the newly conquered lands, and as long as the samurai of Japan make meritorious contributions, they can also become the nobles of the vassal states like the meritorious ministers of the Ming Dynasty! After that, he will be an official in a new country. You must have a lot of samurai in Japan who can't be arranged, right? Follow Da Mingke and there will be a way out! ”

"What if we don't agree to Daming's conditions?" Tokugawa Qiaki asked coldly.

Zhuge glanced at him for the Tao and said with a smile: "Then we will fight until you agree!" ”
