When Li Jin appeared in front of Tanakami Jiro again, his expression became more humble, and the flattering smile on his face deepened again.

"Your Excellency, after the persuasion of your subordinates, our Emperor intends to accept the treaty of friendship and mutual assistance of your country."

"It's just a small request, and I hope the adults will grant it."

Li Jin didn't expect this Emperor Daigo to be so knowledgeable, and his mood suddenly improved, and he waved his hand and said:

"We are friends with you, and as friends, we naturally can help."

"Tell me about it, as long as our army can be satisfied, we will definitely not refuse."

Surprise flashed on Tian Shangjiro's face, and then he said:

"Our emperor wants to change the Satsuma Province in the treaty to San'in Province, but I wonder if your lord will be able to agree."

Li Jin had a smile on his face, Satsuma was very important to the Ming Dynasty.

If the Satsuma Kingdom is taken, then the Ming Dynasty will have a transit station in the Saikaido, and when the time comes, it will be twice the result with half the effort if a full-scale war is launched.

was about to open his mouth to reject Tian Shangjiro, but Li Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said instead:

"In that case, then we promise you."

"It's just that when we attack San'in Province at that time, I hope that your country can assist us, cooperate with us, and attack the Ashikaga family together."

"Only in this way, under the attack of our two sides, the Ashikaga family will not last long at all."

When Tian Shangjiro heard this, he smiled even more happily, bowed down and said:

"Rest assured, it has always been our wish to exterminate the Ashikaga family."

"As long as the adults do it, we will naturally help in the south."

Seeing Tian Shangjiro's gurgling eyes, Li Jin sneered in his heart, and then discussed some details with Tian Shangjiro.

Later, the two sides signed their respective daimyo on the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which meant that the Treaty of Shimonoseki officially came into force.

It's just that the original tentative Iwami and Satsuma countries have now been changed to San'in Province.

After Tian Shangjiro left with a smile on his face, Zhu Biao walked out of the screen behind him.

"Why would they accept such a harsh treaty?"

Zhu Biao's face was puzzled, in his eyes, once this kind of treaty is signed, it can be said that it is controlled by others everywhere, and it will not take long before the country and the species may be wiped out.

"Compared to the Ashikaga family, we are outsiders."

Li Jin said softly:

"In their opinion, outsiders will not stay long after all, and the Ashikaga family is an enemy who can kill them, so they would rather sell the interests of the country than defeat the Ashikaga family."

"As the saying goes, infighting will lead to the destruction of the country, but the destruction of the country will also lead to infighting!"

"These Wadao have not yet noticed our Daming's determination to annex Wadao, so they will do everything possible to woo our Daming!"

Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully, as if he had figured out something.

Right here, Li Jin spoke again:

"Now Wajima has ceded San'in Province to us, but we haven't gotten it to Satsuma."

"We need to find an alternative port to use as a transshipment station."

Zhu Biao showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked:

"Then why didn't you fight for reason just now and take the Satsuma Domain?"

"If there is the Satsuma Domain, we don't have to be so troublesome."

Li Jin slowly shook his head and said:

"If you insist on taking the Satsuma Domain, it is likely to arouse their vigilance and expose my ambition to annex Wajima in advance."

"But I thought of an alternative, I just need the emperor's help."

"What's the plan?"

"North Korea's Pusan port!"

Li Jin said slowly:

"Our ships can depart from Shanghu County, then go north along the coastline, arrive at the port of Weihaiwei in Dengzhou, and then sail east."

"At that point, the distance of the intermediate voyage will be greatly reduced, and the risk will be greatly reduced."

"The most important thing is that it only takes one day to reach the port of Busan from Dengju Weihaiwei."

"The navigation is convenient, safe, and faster, and it can definitely provide sufficient logistics support for us to cut down the Japanese."

This is also the reason why Li Jin promised Tian Shangjiro just now, since there is a replacement, the Satsuma Domain is dispensable.

Compared with the geographical location, Dengzhou to North Korea is much faster and more convenient than Shanghu County to Wadao, and it is also safer.

Therefore, Li Jin is more inclined to start from Dengzhou, go straight to North Korea, and then transfer south from North Korea, this transportation insurance will be safer.

Zhu Biao saw that Li Jin was already in his chest, and couldn't help but say:

"Since you already have a plan in mind, why do you need the emperor's help?"

Li Jin said:

"This will involve the territorial ports of the DPRK and must be resolved through diplomatic means."

"The current strength of our navy is still too weak to fight on both sides."

"If we can lease the port of Busan through diplomatic means, everyone will be happy."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he understood what Li Jin meant, and then said:

"If that's the case, then let's write a letter to the emperor together and ask for the court's assistance."

"If it's just a small port, presumably North Korea won't refuse."

"After all, our relationship between Daming and North Korea has always been very good, and we often take care of North Korea."

"We're only on loan for a few months, and when the time passes, we will return it to him, and this kind of thing shouldn't be difficult."

Li Jin bowed slightly, no matter how you say that the Ming Dynasty is also a kingdom of the Celestial Empire, borrowing a port should be a trivial matter.

"But the port of Dengzhou Port can also be built."

"At that time, it may be more convenient if it can be transported by land."

Zhu Biao was reminded that he added the matter of Dengzhou Port to the compromise.

After the two of them finished writing the memorabilia, they handed it over to the herald and asked him to pass it back to Daming as soon as possible.

Just when the two were about to rest for a while, Xu Da sent someone to invite them, saying that an important person had arrived on Wajima and asked them to go to meet them.

Zhu Biao and Li Jin looked at each other, important people? It can't be Lao Huang himself.

Without delay, the two hurried to the City Lord's Mansion non-stop.

When he entered the living room, he saw Xu Da drinking tea with a thin and elegant middle-aged man, looking like he was chatting happily.

When Zhu Biao saw the middle-aged man, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said:

"I've seen Mr. Liu."

Li Jin saw this person, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, wasn't this the old Confucian student that Lao Huang brought with him for the first time when he went to Shanghu County?

However, Zhu Biao had already saluted, and Li Jin couldn't lose his courtesy, and said:

"I've seen Mr. Liu."

This person is Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen saw the two of them coming, his eyes were full of energy, and he looked at Li Jin.

I saw that Li Jin still looked so young, with a tall figure and an outstanding temperament, even if he stood next to Zhu Biao, he was not far behind.

Liu Bowen couldn't help but sigh.

"Sit, sit down."

"This time I came here to help my son."

Zhu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this, and with Liu Bowen's help, I am afraid that this trip to Wadao will be smoother.

"So, there is Mr. Lao Liu."

Liu Bowen waved his hand and said:

"I can only help from the side, and I only know a little about the affairs of Wajima."

"I wonder if you can tell me about the situation in Wajima now?"

Zhu Biao's eyes motioned to Li Jin, and Li Jin also took the lead and began to tell the current situation in the entire Wajima.

From the juxtaposition and division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, to the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki with the Southern Dynasties, with the intention of sweeping through San'in Province and completely crushing the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty.

After Liu Bowen listened, his brows slowly furrowed, and he began to bow his head and ponder.

Zhu Biao and Li Jin didn't bother, wanting to hear what Liu Bowen had next.

After a while, Liu Bowen raised his head and asked Li Jin:

"Now the envoy of the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty, is he still in Iwami?"

Li Jin nodded and said:

"There is a very powerful figure among the envoys of the Northern Dynasty, and I don't plan to let them go."

But Liu Bowen's next words made everyone present fall into shock.
