The inn parlor.

After Tian Shangjiro walked out from behind the screen, his face was very ugly, and it seemed that he had heard the conversation between Li Jin and Suzuki Shigehide just now.

"How?"

Li Jin asked meaningfully:

"I told you before that the Ashikaga family is dead, and your heart of the Southern Dynasty will not die."

"Now that the Ashikaga family has directly thrown out your Southern Dynasty and Saikaido as bait, this Lord has been a little tempted."

When Tian Shangjiro heard this, he hurriedly said:

"Don't be fooled, Shigehide Suzuki is just a show."

"Saikaido is isolated overseas, and it is not the territory of the Ashikaga family at all, they just want to use the hands of adults to make a rift between adults and our dynasty."

"Now that we have joined forces, the Ashikaga family is already at the end of their rope, so they have to come up with such a poisonous plan, just to destroy our relationship."

Tian Shangjiro was very nervous and wanted to persuade Li Jin to dispel his thoughts, but Li Jin looked at him with a smile and said:

"But the temptation of Xikaidao is too great for our Ming Dynasty, even if the official is not moved, it is difficult for our Ming Emperor to say."

Seeing Li Jin say this, Tian Shangjiro had to grit his teeth and said:

"My lord, we are willing to lease the entire Shanyin Province to Daming, as long as it is the town occupied by Daming himself, we are willing to lease it to Daming."

"I only hope that Daming can help us and exterminate the Ashikaga family."

"My lord also said just now, as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, Da Ming should help Wadao to set things right and clean up the universe."

"Now that the Ashikaga family is in turmoil, causing the society to collapse, and even the emperor has to flee south, isn't this a provocation to the Ming Dynasty?"

"As long as the Ming Dynasty exterminates the rebellious party and helps us Emperor Daigo to unify Wajima, we are willing to take the Ming Dynasty as the suzerainty and never betray it."

What Tian Shangjiro said was loud, kneeling directly on his knees, and seemed to be very sincere.

Li Jin stared at Tian Shangjiro for a while, took out a peace agreement from his sleeve, and said softly:

"If you are sincere, then sign your name to the peace treaty."

"I have always been benevolent and righteous to my friends."

"As long as Tian Shangjun is willing to become a friend of our Ming Dynasty, then we will definitely do our best to help you exterminate the rebellious party and restore the dynasty."

Tian Shangjiro took the contract in Li Jin's hand and looked at it carefully.

But after only looking at a small part of it, Tian Shangjiro's face became difficult to look at, from blue to red, and then from red to black, as if he had changed his face, which was very funny.

Tian Shangjiro held back his anger and read the contract, but after reading it, he was angry and spoke a little unfavorably.

forced himself to swallow his anger, and then refused:

"My lord, this... This contract... I... I can't sign it. ”

"Tanajo-kun has to think clearly."

Li Jin was not in a hurry, and the peace treaty he brought out to Tian Shangjiro was the Treaty of Shimonoseki drafted by Li Jin before.

Seeing that Tian Shangjiro was so uninteresting, Li Jin rubbed his chin lightly and said:

"Now our Ming Dynasty can help the Southern Dynasty to destroy the Northern Dynasty, and we can also help the Northern Dynasty annex the West Sea Road, and then wave our army to capture Yamato."

"You don't want to sign this contract, but I'm sure Shigehide Suzuki is definitely willing to sign it."

"They will do whatever it takes to win."

"Once they preemptively sign this peace treaty, then my friends will become the Ashikaga family, and you can only become my enemies."

"At that time, the direction of the war will not be something that the official can control."

"Tanajo-kun, do you understand?"

In the face of this naked war blackmail, Tian Shangjiro's face was flushed with anger, and his body trembled a little, but there was nothing he could do.

Now the two sides of the North and the South are facing each other, and the two sides are evenly matched, although the North Korea is slightly weak, but its military strength is very strong.

On both sides of the north and the south, no one can help anyone, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty intervened sideways and completely stirred up the situation on Wajima.

Now Daming is like the weight of victory, whichever side it falls, which side can win.

So now the Ming Dynasty can be said to be waiting for the price to sell, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties can only frantically show favor to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they can only be defeated and wiped out.

Takami Jiro took a deep breath and said:

"I will report this peace treaty to the emperor, and I can't make up my own mind."

"That's natural, but there's not much time."

Li Jin expressed his understanding, but did not give Tian Shangjiro more time to delay, but said:

"I'll give you five days, and if you haven't thought it through in five days, I'll start negotiations with the Ashikaga family."

"I believe that the Ashikaga family will definitely not disappoint this official."

Tanakami Jiro nodded in agreement.

Li Jin saw that the matter was done, thought about it, and then said to Tian Shangjiro:

"Tomorrow, if Tian Shangjun has nothing to do, you can come to my Daming military camp, and I will invite Tian Shangjun to watch a performance."

Tian Shangjiro wondered in his heart, what kind of performance was there in the barracks?

But Li Jin's invitation, Tian Shangjiro did not dare to refuse, and could only say again and again that he would definitely be there.

Subsequently, Li Jin handed the peace treaty in his hand to Takami Jiro and asked him to write a letter to discuss the matter with Emperor Daigo, leaving them with little time.

...

Above the endless East China Sea, a fleet is sailing slowly.

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's secret letter, Xu Da decisively dispatched the Third Fleet to return to the Ming Dynasty and take Zhu Biao and Tang He from Yingtianfu to Wadao.

Since the Ming naval fleet sailed from Shanghu Prefecture and arrived directly at Wajima, and successfully raided Iwami Province in Wajima, it was as if it had been reborn.

The fleet's sailing mileage has greatly increased, and with the experience of this long-distance voyage, the Ming naval fleet can now be described as a vertical and horizontal fleet on the ocean.

In particular, the route of Daming from Jiangnan to Wadao is already very familiar, and there are few accidents.

Now it is winter, and it is the best time to sail to sea, so the Third Fleet received Zhu Biao and Tang He's 10,000 Beijing battalion soldiers very smoothly.

These people are all on a sea boat for the first time, and they vomit and diarrhea in the bumps of the sea, which can be described as very miserable.

However, as time went on, Zhu Biao and Tang He finally eased up, at least now they are no longer so seasick, and they are even in the mood to go on deck and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ocean.

"Your Highness, I don't know what the hell is going on, I actually need you to go to Wajima in person?"

Tang He really couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

Zhu Biao looked at the boundless blue sky and blue sea in front of him, chuckled, and said:

"I remember Uncle Tong was also one of the shareholders of the East India Chamber of Commerce."

"Exactly."

Tang He was so smart, when he heard Zhu Biao mention the East India Chamber of Commerce, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and then said incredulously:

"Wajima has already been taken?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said:

"Not yet."

"However, the silver mountain promised by Li Jin has been found, and I went there this time to verify the situation."

Tang He's eyes were full of shock, of course he knew what the silver mountain in Zhu Biao's mouth was.

At the beginning, Li Jin directly boasted, saying that this silver mountain had reserves of at least 500 million taels of silver, but Tang He felt that this was pure fantasy.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty is a big country, the Celestial Empire is a state, the territory is vast, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and there are no silver mines with such large reserves.

Not to mention how can a small country with such a large reserve of silver be found?

But now it seems that it is indeed a small pattern.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming personally went to inspect the silver mine, if the reserves of this silver mine are too small, do you still need Zhu Biao to personally dispatch?

Thinking of this, Yuwa realized that the silver reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain were absolutely amazing.

Doesn't that mean that as one of the shareholders, you can also get a piece of the silver mine?

"Your Highness, is that silver mine really that big?"

Tang He swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling a little, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
