"With all due respect, our troops can withdraw from the Ryukyu Kingdom, but Amami Goshima cannot be returned."

As the lord of the domain, Shimazu Tadashi certainly wouldn't talk about such a thing.

The one who spoke was Shimazu Tadashi's old middle school - Shimazu Hisamoto.

Shimazu Hisagen is the son of the elder of the previous generation of the lord, a proper second generation.

Yang Chengying didn't speak either.

It was Xu Kang who spoke: "The five islands of Amami are the inherent territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and this matter has long been made clear.

There is one thing that is undisputed, but it is being debated again and again today.

Are you deliberately delaying your visit to Beijing? ”

"The Ryukyu Kingdom was also taken from someone else, and it didn't last for a few decades."

Shimazu Hisagen said: "Today, I took it from the Ryukyu Kingdom, what is there not to do?" ”

That's not right. Amami Goto is an island where the Ryukyuan people live. ”

Xu Kang retorted: "The annexation of the Ryukyu king by the king of the Ryukyus belongs to the internal dispute of the Ryukyu Kingdom. This is the same as their annexation of Shannan and Shanbei.

You have never lived there, why should you occupy their territory and not return it. ”

"Humph! If you want to snatch it by force, my Satsuma clan is not a bad breed. ”

Shimazu Hisagen found that he couldn't say it, and immediately adopted a second set of tactics and played tricks.

"Huh...... I've heard of the name of the Satsuma samurai for a long time, and I've learned it many times. ”

Shi Daxuan laughed: "I don't have to land, I just attack your merchant ships." Again and again, let you cut off the sea trade. ”

This is the weakness of the Shimazu family.

Due to the large number of samurai in the territory, the ratio of soldiers and civilians was seriously imbalanced, and the Shimazu family was already so poor that they had cut off the maritime trade, and they had to drink the northwest wind.

They are not stupid.

I originally wanted to use this trick to advance and retreat and grab more benefits.

only to find that the other party had already seen through it.

Shimazu Tadashi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "If the two sides reach an agreement, may I ask, what is the benefit of this for my Satsuma Domain?" ”

"Maritime trade is not an easy task, and you can face life and death at any time."

Yang Chengying said: "It's very profitable, and people are eager to rush to it. Therefore, my conditions are not harsh, it depends on whether you agree or not. ”

When Shimazu Tadashi came, Yang Chengying had already explained the conditions.

However, Shimazu Tadashi was a little reluctant.

The main reason is that he feels that engaging in maritime trade for a long time will make the samurai under his command lose the foundation of "loyalty".

His worries were exactly what Yang Chengying wanted to take advantage of.

A bunch of poor jingle bells can easily turn into mad dogs for money.

Yang Chengying wanted to use them to bite the Spaniards and Dutch on Luzon and Chicken Coop Island.

It's just that the time has not yet come.

After a moment of silence, Shimazu finally bowed his head in front of Cailu.

"Well, I promise you."

Shimazu said: "But in exchange, I hope that you will be exempted from providing food free of charge. The Satsuma clan is financially strapped and can't afford to pay for what you want. ”

"Nope! The return of the inherent territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom is not a bargaining chip that can negotiate terms. ”

Yang Chengying sternly rejected his conditions, "However, I can take you to Kyoto to see a new way to make money, isn't it better than scavenging in the ground every day." ”

Shimazu Tadashi looked up, stunned, and then suddenly realized.

I heard that Yang Chengying sold cloth in Osaka and other places and made a lot of money.

The Tsushima and Heito clans also imported large quantities of cloth, including python satin, and made a lot of money.

After thinking about it, Shimazu Tadashi refused: "It is not allowed to go to Edo without an order. ”

"You don't have a good brain, just do it in the name of accompaniment."

Yang Chengying said: "You can also bring Linglang and let him feel the prosperity of Kyoto together." ”

Shimazu Tadashi had no heirs until 14 years ago, when he was happy with his son.

He loved it like a treasure, and gave the Shimazu family the name of "Tiger Shou Maru", which had been passed down from generation to generation, to this child.

Today, the child is fourteen years old.

"Ai'er is not here with me." Shimazu Tadashi gritted his teeth, "I'll go back and raise some money and wait for the big driver." ”

The two sides negotiated, under the watchful eyes of King Shangfeng, Yang Chengying and Shimazu Tadahiro.

The Shimazu family and the Ryukyu Kingdom re-signed the Treaty of Naha Port.

The treaty provided for the return of all Ryukyu territory occupied by the Satsuma clan prior to the 37th year of the reign of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, and the abolition of the 15 articles that had been forced on the late King Shoning.

The two sides continued to trade by sea on an equal footing.

The treaty was in triplicate, with Shimazu Tadashi taking one copy, Yang Chengying taking one copy, and King Shangfeng keeping one copy.

At the end of the negotiations, Yang Chengying held a reception to celebrate the signing of the treaty.

Hisataka Kayama was also released.

The 300 samurai of the Satsuma Domain were also entertained with wine and meat.

These wine and meat, not brought from Liaodong, are not edible.

It was Yang Chengying who purchased it locally.

With the assistance of Liu Xiang, it was purchased from chicken coops and other places.

A large amount of wine and meat made these samurai eat high-mindedly.

Seeing this scene, Shimazu Tadashi was thoughtful.

At the reception, he asked Yang Chengying curiously: "What is the secret of your training soldiers?" ”

"Two words 'eat meat'! When you are well fed, you grow strong, and you have strength when you fight. ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "I eat vegetables every day, and I don't even have the strength to hold a knife, so how can I fight." ”

Yamada Yourong on the side heard it and raised his head: "What's wrong with eating vegetables, people must have a spirit." As long as you have the spirit of a samurai, you can fight a war by eating vegetables. ”

"Hahaha......" Yang Chengying couldn't help laughing.

Yamada frowned.

"If that sounds like a problem, ask your men if they would like to eat meat or vegetables."

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Yamada Yuei glanced at several retainers.

The retainers were eating happily, and when they found the eyes of the lord, they quickly lowered their heads.

They didn't dare to object, but they also felt that what General Mingguo said was reasonable.

Shimazu Tadashi and Thin Mud: "Whether you eat vegetables or meat, you have to start according to your own situation." ”

"So, you have to hurry up and prepare a merchant ship and go to Ningbo."

Yang Chengying had something to say.

Shimazu nodded tacitly.

Yamada Yuei felt that there was something going on here, just like the assassination of Hirata Masumune by the Shimazu family.

"Damn, this guy shouldn't have accepted Yang Chengying's benefits."

Yamada Yuei was angry in his heart.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "In the future, bring more warriors out to open up the world, anyway, there are people farming." If you earn more money, you can also help share the annual tribute, and they will be grateful to you. ”

The general's words are very reasonable. After I returned, I organized a regiment of retainers, and when the general returned, we went to Liaodong to do business together. ”

Shimazu Tadashi's eyebrows fluttered.

He has a large group of dry rice people under him, which has made him a little unbearable.

"No problem." Yang Chengying nodded.

At this time, he noticed that Yamada Yourong's face was not good, so he said, "Yamada-kun, if you want, you can also participate." ”

"Uh...... I...... I'm not going. ”

Yuei Yamada burrowed into the crowd.

Shimazu Tadashi whispered: "This person has a lot of eyes, but he is just stubborn. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Yang Chengying nodded.

Hey...... Isn't this just a fool of the thugs?
