Qi Jiguang was not carried away by the tactical victory in front of him, and like the War Department in the modern era of the Japanese Kingdom, because of the victory in front of him, he suddenly threatened to destroy China within three months.

He maintained enough reason in terms of strategy, and did not dare to go against the strategy set by Zhu Yijun and the ruling level of the Privy Council to conquer the Japanese and not to exterminate the Japanese, so he decided to accept it when he saw it.

Of course, after all, the Ming Dynasty is a real centralized system, and Qi Jiguang does not have the courage to go against the strategy of the ruling layer.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang released Arima Harunobu and asked him to convey the news to the daimyos of Kyushu that the Ming Dynasty was going to negotiate peace.

The three daimyos of Shimazu, Otomo, and Ryuzoji Temple were all relieved after knowing the news, they were all ready for the scorched earth war of resistance and all the jade shattering, but now that Daming is willing to negotiate, they are naturally willing.

After all, they didn't really want to pay the price of the jade shatter, because even if they succeeded, they would be cheaper than Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the others.

So, a few days later, the representative of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Iehisa, the representative of the Otomo family, Takahashi Shaoyun, and the representative of the Ryuzoji family, Nabeishima Naoshige, all came to Hirado Castle to negotiate with Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang conveyed to them his terms of negotiation, including the need to recognize Hizen, Hinata, and Osumi as the three kingdoms under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This condition was naturally added by Qi Jiguang on the basis of the requirements of the Privy Council, in order to negotiate well, so at the beginning, he naturally asked the lion to open his mouth and claim the land of the Three Kingdoms.

Naturally, these three were reluctant and strongly demanded concessions.

Qi Jiguang insisted on not giving in at first, but in the end he gave in, and these three families also felt that they could go back to make a difference, but they didn't know that the conditions they agreed to were still above the bottom line conditions required by the Ming ruling class.

The final conditions were set as:

First, the three recognized the Hizen Kingdom as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Hizen Province is the later Wa kingdom of the Matsuura Peninsula, plus Hirado Island, Iki Island, and Tsushima Island.

Second, the three families need to hand over three million taels of silver to express their friendship with the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time use it as a military expense to compensate for the Ming Dynasty's questioning.

Gift money is the name of an indemnity that the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom needs to receive after conquering other daimyos, and Qi Jiguang also asks them for indemnity according to the internal tradition of the Wa Kingdom.

Third, the three need to develop three ports to trade with Daming.

Fourth, the three families did not have the power to punish the overseas Chinese businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

Fifth, the three families promised not to plunder the Ming Dynasty, and once it was found out that the Japanese were committed by the retainers of the three families, they were willing to make compensation, and for this reason, they were willing to hand over the culprit Matsuura Takanobu and his family retainers who had been the culprits in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and the day of surrender was the day when the Ming army stationed in the Satsuma domain withdrew.

In this, the Matsuura family naturally became a victim.

But this is also to blame on the Matsuura family themselves, because they tried to collude with the Ming pirates and the gentry to plunder the interests of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and did something sorry for the Ming Dynasty, and gave the Ming an excuse to ask for guilt.

Although it was also these three forces that enjoyed the benefits of the Matsuura family's looting.

In the end, after the Ryuzoji family designed to capture Matsuura Takanobu and his family and retainers, they were handed over to the Ming army.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang sent Magui to return to China with Matsuura Takanshin and others with the terms and documents and the 3.5 million taels of silver confiscated, while he himself continued to garrison Hirado Castle and rectify Hirado commerce.

The reason why it was 3.5 million taels was because in addition to the 3 million gift money paid by the three families, there were also 500,000 taels of silver stolen from the treasury of the Matsuura family in Hirado.

Because of Iwami's silver mountain, there was no shortage of silver for the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom in this era, otherwise the Wa Kingdom would not have become the third largest consumer market in global trade in this era, and the main trade route for the Portuguese and Dutch was to sell Chinese goods to the Wa Kingdom.

And large daimyo like Shimazu and Otomo have an annual income of about two million taels of silver, and it is not difficult for them to take out one million taels, so these daimyo quickly handed over the gift money.

Because the Ming Dynasty only sent more than 30,000 officers and soldiers to conquer the Japanese this time, and did not plan to exterminate the Japanese, the total military expenditure was less than two million taels, so after getting this silver, it can be regarded as making no profit in this war.

……

Forbidden city.

During Qi Jiguang and other expeditions, Zhu Yijun took his sister Princess Yongning to meet the undecided children of the Qi family on the Donghua Gate.

"You don't have to worry about marrying a non-virtuous person, but you can choose the son of the general as your husband, but as a princess, you will be honored by the world like me, and you have to take some responsibilities, so you can only choose the children of the Qi family who are the most relatives of the emperor."

Zhu Yijun said to Yongning.

Princess Yongning, who is already twenty-eight years old and shows off her wisdom, only nodded, and then glanced at the Qi family children under the city.

Zhu Yijun said: "You have read all their articles, now look at the face, let's talk about who you like." ”

Yongning's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he lowered his head.

Queen Du, who was already pregnant with Liujia, couldn't help but smile at this time, and then took Yongning's hand and said, "Where will you go to me later, can you tell me again?" ”

Yongning still just nodded.

"How's it going, is she decided?"

After Empress Du came to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun put down the chapter in his hand and asked curiously.

Empress Du smiled and asked, "Your Majesty just wants to marry your imperial sister so much?" ”

"Naturally not, it's just that the more I don't want to face it, the more I take it seriously in my heart, but it's really not a big deal."

Zhu Yijun said.

Empress Du sat down on Zhu Yijun's right side: "It's still Qi Xingguo." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "According to the situation of the celebrant supervisor, this person likes to be quiet and quiet, and he is good at watching the stars and things. When I read the article he wrote at my behest to express his interest, it was that he said that all things in heaven and earth have the truth, and he wanted to exhaustively study the truth of all things in heaven and earth. ”

Qi Jiguang has five sons, namely Qi Zuoguo, Qi Anguo, Qi Changguo, Qi Baoguo, and Qi Xingguo.

Although Qi Jiguang's own cultural level is not low, he can write poems such as "I don't want to be a marquis, I hope Hai Boping is flat", and he often sings and harmonizes with the great talents of the world like Wang Shizhen in poetry, but the name of his son is not so literal.

And from the names of Qi Jiguang's sons, it can be seen that he is really patriotic, and he also hopes that his sons can contribute to the country.

But Zhu Yijun had to admit that Qi Jiguang's sons all had the wrong skills, and none of them were suitable for the traditional Wenchen military generals, they all had other skills.

For example, Qi Changguo, who had a more detailed record because of his highest official position in the later years, although he later won the martial arts and became the official of the Fusi of Zhangnan Town in Jinyiwei, he was promoted to the governor of Tongzhi because he was good at making ordnance, and he was promoted to the governor of Tongzhi because he built a new chariot during the Chongzhen period and made meritorious contributions.

And Princess Yongning's fancy Qi Xingguo, that is, Qi Jiguang's fifth son, is interested in physics, rather than combat and career, so it is no wonder that she has not been able to go too far in officialdom in history.

In this era where scientific research and development is not paid much attention, Qi Jiguang's sons will undoubtedly disappoint Qi Jiguang.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but wonder if Qi Jiguang's sad and lost mood in his later years in history was also related to the fact that his sons were already waste materials in the eyes of traditional generals like him, and he felt that it was difficult for his family to rebuild.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't mind that the children of the Qi family were unwilling to follow the path of traditional civil servants and military generals, and it was okay to engage in natural science research, which just made up for the lack of talent in this area of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun is just worried that Qi Xingguo's personality may be boring now.

"But he's good-looking."

Empress Du replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun suddenly realized: "I understand, then he will be." ”

So, Zhu Yijun asked the imperial secretary to give a decree to marry Princess Yongning and Qi Jiguang's fifth son, Qi Xingguo, and crowned him as the governor of the military capital and the governor's office, and gave him a house in the imperial city.

And one day not long after Zhu Yijun gave the marriage, Zhang Hong walked in quickly, came to Zhu Yijun and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent delivery from Busan, my army of Japanese conquest has won successive victories, and I have won a place in Hizen, and I have been ordered to negotiate successfully with the Kyushu chieftain, and I will get a gift of 3 million taels, plus 500,000 taels of property from the innocent chief!" In addition, the entire clan of Matsuura Takanobu, the leader of the Japanese who colluded with Wang Zhi in the past, has been escorted back to the court! ”
