Kyoto Imperial Palace, Japan, Zichen Palace.

This magnificent hall that seems to be built from the Tang Dynasty Palace building, from a distance, there is still a little bit of the appearance of the emperor's residence, but when you get closer and take a closer look, it is really a bit of a disrepair, everywhere is full of wind and dew and rain, and the tatami mats spread on the ground also exude a musty smell full of a sense of the times. Even the samurai of the north who guarded the throne were some of the lowest-ranking samurai ronin, recruited by the emperor who couldn't come up with a few dollars, and became royal thugs. Although they are also called northern samurai, they are really not the same thing as the northern samurai from the Hara and Taira clans that Emperor Shirakawa reused. In the eyes of Zheng Guoxian, this group of people is just some crazy people who are so poor that they are about to send knives to pawnshops, but they still have the dream of being a samurai......

However, these crazy people are very energetic, and they don't care how much money they get a month, anyway, when it is their turn to be on duty to guard their "emperor goddess", they all stare at each other, and their faces are extremely vicious, looking like evil people who want to harm the emperor.

When Zheng Guoxian walked into the Zichen Palace, he was looked at viciously by dozens of such eyes...... He knew that as long as the beautiful big sister sitting on the Zichen Hall said a word, he would have to be hacked to death by someone!

These northern warriors of the Empress are all able to spare their lives for the Empress!

But these people just looked at Zheng Guoxian viciously, and no one drew a knife and cut over...... They just watched as this army officer from a foreign country walked into the dilapidated Zichen Hall under the guidance of a minister with a powdered face.

The light in the Zichen Hall is very dim - there is no electric light in the imperial palace, because there is no electricity (electricity is too expensive), only a few very thin candles in the hall (coarse candles are too expensive), barely lit.

When Zheng Guoxian walked in, by the dim candlelight, he saw Emperor Shizuko sitting upright on a cushion from a distance. The female emperor did not lower the curtain in front of her, but saw that she was wearing a printed yellow kimono, a somewhat charming and somewhat fierce face with only a little makeup on it, and a sword with an unpretentious scabbard and a little worn rope on the hilt.

Hearing Zheng Guoxian's footsteps, the female emperor only glanced up, and then looked down at the thick stack of texts in her hand.

"Zheng Guoxian see His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zheng Guoxian stood upright, and then bowed to the emperor's sister, whom he had known since childhood.

"Kinabalu, flat!" Emperor Shizuko spoke Chinese very well, and his voice was also very good, but his tone was still a little gloomy, and he didn't give him a seat, but directly raised the text in his hand and shook it, "This is the 'Twenty-one Articles' that you imposed on the Tokugawa Shogunate!" The general wants me to approve it...... However, after reading it, I found that if Japan really acted according to the 'Twenty-one Articles', the whole country would become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty! So, this traitorous agreement! ”

"Twenty-one Articles", of course, are traitorous agreements! Although the Ming Dynasty would not occupy even an inch of Japan's land according to the "Twenty-one Articles", it could even take out some land from the spoils of war and reward Japan after defeating Britain to dominate the world.

However, Japan's industry ...... Whether it is agriculture, finance, light industry or commerce, without exception, they will be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty because of this "Twenty-one Articles" - they will either accept the capital injection of the Ming Dynasty, or become the agent of the Ming Dynasty, or be crushed by the Ming Dynasty's peers! Even if the Ming Dynasty "supports" Japan to focus on the development of the textile industry, there will be no luck. Because Japan's advantage in the textile industry is only high-quality and cheap labor...... But how can this be developed without capital, technology, brand, sales channels, raw materials, and market? can only be an agent businessman, or simply work for the capitalists of the Ming Dynasty.

As for other industries that do not have those to be opened up and have no competitive advantages, they will undoubtedly be swept away by the powerful Ming peers, either acquired or closed. Of course, the industrial capital and financial capital of the Ming Dynasty will also flock in, but they are not here to do good deeds...... It won't be long before Daming Capital will take control of most of Japan's industries.

Perhaps after the reshuffle is completed, Japan's economy, which is gradually integrated into the Celestial Empire, will gradually recover, but in the process of this industrial reshuffle, Japan will definitely suffer considerable pain.

It was precisely because he knew that this "Twenty-one Articles" would bring considerable pain to Japan, so the Tokugawa shogunate did not dare to take the blame for it alone, and he had to pull the emperor no matter what. And Emperor Shizuko has been emperor for eight years, and he has long known that the Tokugawa shogunate will not think of himself if there are good things.

So......

Empress Jing put down the text in her hand, looked at Zheng Guoxian, and said word by word: "Brother Shenshan...... In addition to the 'Twenty-One Articles', the Shogun also asked me to issue an edict to designate the righteous people who were entrenched in Nagasaki as national thieves! This should be what you Da Ming meant, right? If I agree to the shogunate's request, what will you do to the righteous people of Nagasaki? ”

"Yes, of course...... Exterminate! Annihilation! Zheng Guoxian said, "They are not righteous people, they are national thieves, they are national thieves who want to betray Japan to Baiyi, how can such national thieves not be eliminated?" I sent 300,000 troops and 1,000 warships and ships across the sea to help Japan eliminate the national thieves! ”

"Hmph, you have 300,000 troops and 1,000 warships, and you're afraid that you won't be able to defeat Nagasaki? Why do you want me, the puppet of the shogunate, to come forward and point them out as enemies? ”

Imagine the Chinese network

"Because of His Majesty's decree, Nagasaki will become a traitor who everyone spurns, and I, Daming, am the righteous teacher invited by His Majesty to help suppress, and the righteousness is in me, so that I can get the support of the Japanese samurai who are loyal to Your Majesty, and the traitor on the Nagasaki side knows that he will not only lose, but also be ruined after death, how desperate it must be. If they can only die in despair and are thieves after death, then the Ming Dynasty will have many friends and many fewer enemies in Japan in the future......

Your Majesty, now that the Shogunate has been co-opted by us, you can't fight the Shogunate with those few samurai from the north! Therefore, please also issue an edict to allow the 'Twenty-one Articles' and refer to the Nagasaki rebels as the enemy! Daming will not let his friends suffer...... If you are a friend of Daming, Daming will support you to be the emperor all the time, and you can also give you 1 million silver yuan! ”

With a "snap", the emperor slapped on the tatami mat, then stood up reluctantly, and picked up the sword, and then strode to Zheng Guoxian, leaning his neck and looking at Zheng Dagongzi angrily, but Zheng Dagongzi looked at the female emperor with a smile. The emperor opened his apricot mouth and said word by word, "No...... The Nagasaki samurai are all loyal servants of mine, and I can't betray my loyal servants for the sake of a million...... Add money! ”

"How much?" Zheng Guoxian asked.

The Emperor looked at Zheng Guoxian, gritted his teeth, and spat out a number; "Three million!"

"No way!" Zheng Guoxian shook his head and said with a smile, "At least five million!" ”

"Five million?" Emperor Shizuko looked at Grand Prince Zheng, "Can you really give so much?" ”

Zheng Guoxian nodded: "This is just the money to support the crusade against the righteous warriors of Nagasaki...... 'Twenty-one' will be approved after Nagasaki is completed, and then it will be another five million, with so much money and the support of the Ming Zheng family, are you afraid that you won't be able to keep the throne?" ”

A million deal is now made into a 10 million deal by Zheng Guoxian, and he really knows how to do business!

However, he also pinched the point of the Ming Dynasty before he dared to do this business - at this price, the Ming Dynasty will definitely hurt, but it can still afford it, and it will definitely come out. Because Daming has spent so much energy and financial resources in order to win the gold medal fighter in Japan, now is the time when there must be no mistakes. Ten million to buy the emperor's support, although expensive, but still worth the money.

Shizuko was really satisfied this time, and showed a rather charming smile ......
