"Hosokawa Masamoto?"

Xia Yuan sat on a cushioned chair and looked up and down at the person in front of him.

It looks very fat, about forty years old, but due to the relationship between the lightning rod hairstyle of the Japanese people, the actual age is often younger than the appearance, so he is about thirty years old, and his expression is a little yin, like a person with more scheming.

These days, through the information obtained from Go-Kashiwahara, he already knows a lot about the situation in the Wa Kingdom, and Hosokawa Masamoto is indeed a very dick figure in the shogunate, and he is the head of the Hosokawa clan of the Ashikaga clan.

A Ashikaga clan is quite a lot, what clan, division, and concubine, but this is not the point, the point is that this guy in front of him can be said to be one of the rulers of the shogunate, with the title of semi-general.

Not to mention the situation of Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang, at least he can break his wrist with Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and others.

In short, to a certain extent, he can directly exercise the power of the shogun, and like the Sima family, Xia Yuan remembers that there is a Wa country called the Hosokawa Rebellion, and I don't know if it has something to do with it.

He was looking at Hosokawa Masamoto, who was also looking at him, and then saluted him, Hosokawa Masamoto was also a Chinese speaker, but it was the same as the situation of Hou Kashiwahara, very blunt.

"Hosokawa Masamoto, I've seen the general of the Ming Dynasty."

"Tell me why you're here."

"In the next place, it is a peace negotiation, begging the country to stop the war, and the two countries will never stop the sword."

"Oh, peace talks." Xia Yuan took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "How can you talk about peace, why don't you insist on insisting, maybe there will be a miracle, by the way, you Japanese people don't believe in any Amaterasu God, you can open the altar to practice, please send down the heavenly thunder to me that day, so you don't have to pull down the peace talks." ”

Hosokawa Masamoto didn't care about the sarcasm and yin and yang weirdness in his words, and said frugally and humbly: "Your Excellency, General, I say that my country has admitted defeat, please agree to our peace talks." ”

"Tsk." Xia Yuan smacked his lips and frowned, "You don't mean to ask for help at all, this is your attitude towards peace talks?" ”

Hearing this, Hosokawa Masamoto bowed directly to the ground, kowtowed and shouted: "Please agree to the peace talks we are waiting for!" ”

can bend and stretch, kneel when you say kneel, you can do things.

But Xia Yuan's attitude is not this, "You admitted the defeat of the Japanese Kingdom in the previous sentence, and asked Daming to agree to the peace talks in the latter sentence, and now you are kneeling on the ground, is it possible that you want to make me agree to the peace talks that you are waiting for with this, in your Japanese Kingdom, peace talks are so easy?" ”

Hosokawa Masamoto knew that he would be wrong, but he still knelt on the ground and did not get up, with a very humble look, "I am willing to offer gold and silver women to the satisfaction of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuan sat upright, stared at Hosokawa Masato and said slowly: "Women don't need it, gold and silver can be offered, but in addition to gold and silver goods, you also need to promise me a few conditions for Daming, so that you can stop the truce." ”

"Your Excellency, please."

"First, your kingdom must open the whole territory to my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming soldiers will come and go at will. Second, all the materials in your country can be called and controlled by my Ming Dynasty.

Third, you must cede Sado Island and the Ryukyu Islands to me as a Ming garrison and a port.

Fourth, all the large cities of the Wa Kingdom, such as Kyoto, Asuka, and Edo, must be garrisoned by our Ming army:

Fifth, the external defense power of your country will be taken over by our Ming Dynasty, and you can only set up a self-defense army, and the increase or decrease of military generals must be reported to the Ming Dynasty first, and we will review and approve it before it can be implemented.

Sixth, you need to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty every year and contribute annual coins, not less than two million taels a year.

Seventh, the Wa State abolished the name of the country, and the emperor, to the Wa State, and even the Wa State of the lord of the country, the successive generations of the lord of the country, all in accordance with the practice of the rest of the vassal states, by my Ming Emperor canonization, if not canonized, then the enthronement, then regarded as complicity, the Ming will raise troops to attack it.

Eighth, if there is an edict of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese state must unconditionally obey it, and there must be no violation of it. ”

After saying eight things in one breath, Xia Yuan paused for a moment before continuing: "Let's do this for the time being, go back and tell you that Ashikaga Yoshisumi, as long as I agree to these conditions, I will agree to the truce you are waiting for." ”

Hosokawa Masamoto lay on the ground, his head lowered, so that people could not see his face clearly, and he could only see that he was still humble and respectful, but his face, which was invisible to others, had long since turned iron.

These eight conditions, one is more vicious than the other, and each is more difficult to accept, if he agrees, he says what is the difference between his country and being destroyed.

After a long time, Hosokawa Masamoto paused his head downward, "Your Excellency General Daming, I doubt the sincerity of your peace talks, please forgive your country's unreasonable demands, I say that my country cannot agree." ”

"Can't agree?"

"Yes, I can't agree, this is to hand over the rights of my own country to your country, what is the difference between this and the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species."

From the beginning of the negotiations, Hosokawa Masamoto's attitude hardened for the first time.

Xia Yuan's smile grew cold, "It's okay if you don't agree, in fact, I don't want to agree to the peace talks, the peace talks mean that Zhang Shuai proposed, No, it is the old general on the right." ”

He pointed to Zhang Mao, who was sitting quietly on the side, and then said, "Since you don't agree, then you go back and tell Ashikaga Yoshisumi, and I'll just fight later."

Oh, what is the difference between you and the extinction of the country, I will answer you by the way, the difference is that you wait for the consent, your Ashikaga family can still save a life, and then become your shogun, and if you don't agree, your Ashikaga family has been surrounded by my Ming, you can't move forward, you can't retreat, you have become a turtle in Weng.

As long as the order is given, the soldiers will immediately advance, slaughter you up and down, and wait for the Shangyuan Festival next month, and light the sky lantern for you. ”

Hearing this, Hosokawa Masamoto's face showed a look of resentment, but at this time, he couldn't allow him to attack, he buried his head lower to prevent anything from being seen, and said in a respectful tone: "Your Excellency's conditions, I will go back and tell the general in the future, but I came to your military camp this time, and I have another request below." ”

"Say."

"I want to return the body of His Majesty the Emperor of my country, and I am willing to offer 50,000 taels of silver, or even 5,000 taels of gold.

I have to say that this Hosokawa Masamoto, or the Ashikaga Shogunate, is much stronger than the emperor's family, and it is 50,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold.

And that's just begging for a corpse.

It's just a small problem.

"There's no body of the emperor here."

"No?"

"Ang, no, where did he get his body if he didn't die, or I'll kill you now?"

"Nani!"

Hearing this, Hosokawa Masamoto suddenly raised his head and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor はなぜ玉砕しなかったのか!" ”
