This answer can't completely solve Hosokawa Masamoto's doubts, he can only believe that maybe he really wants to take it back and sell it.

In addition, it was difficult for him to figure out what the meaning behind Da Ming wanted them to exchange people for firearms.

After all, there is no shortage of people in Daming, and even he, a Japanese man far away in the island country, knows that Daming has a vast territory and a large population, which is several times or even dozens of times that of their Japanese country.

Now he had to think about whether he should change or not, and he only thought about it for a moment before he had an answer.

Change, why not?

Nowadays, wars are frequent, and the most valuable thing is the population, and the least valuable thing is also the population, which is a bit contradictory, but it is not a contradiction.

In other words, the population, only what they can control, is valuable, and it is no longer controlled, and the population under the command of the rest of the rebel forces is all enemies.

On the one hand, it can be exchanged for firearms, and on the other hand, it can also weaken the strength of the rebels in various places, and it may not be many years before the civil strife in the country can be quelled and the shogunate can regain power.

made a decision, Hosokawa Masamoto, who was lying on the ground, kowtowed again, "There is no shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the goodwill of the Ming Dynasty to my shogunate that I am willing to exchange people and your country for firearms." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, "Okay, you're okay, at least you know what to do, I know that this is the kindness that this is my Ming Dynasty, and I didn't treat our kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, my Ming etiquette state has always been kind to others." ”

The four words of being kind to others made Hosokawa Masamoto's face twitch, and he should have forgotten a series of things that the Ming Dynasty had done since he landed in the Wa Kingdom.

"Since many things have been decided, then I won't keep you, go back and talk to Ashikaga Yoshisumi, and then come over to draw up a contract."

Seeing that Xia Yuan had given the order to expel the guests, Hosokawa Masamoto did not plan to stay any longer, so he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Then I will go back and report to the general, and please wait for two days with Your Excellency and your country." ”

With that, he straightened up and saluted, then slowly withdrew.

Looking at the appearance of bowing down, Xia Yuan squinted his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his face unconsciously, this devil has always been such a humble and polite appearance, if he didn't know the national humiliation for hundreds of years after that, he would really be confused by this appearance.

I thought that these Japanese people were really educated in China and became a well-behaved and obedient dog.

Unfortunately, these are just appearances, and the Japanese are like snakes and scorpions, accustomed to hiding their poison and exposing the harmless side of humans and animals.

"Zhang Shuai, it's done. When the contract is signed to sell the firearms to these devils, we will order someone to release the news. ”

——————————————————

At the end of December of the sixteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty signed a contract with the Muromachi Shogunate, eight conditions, the Ashikaga Shogunate agreed, but there is one point, one of the treaties is that the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was renamed the Lord of the Wa Kingdom, and there is no emperor in the current Wa Kingdom, and the clan in Kyoto City is basically dead, and the Hou Kashiwahara will be escorted back to China, and there is a high probability that there will be no fish that have slipped through the net.

For the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter if there is a lord of the Wa Kingdom, who will be the lord, it always depends on them themselves, if they can find any clan, then support another one, if they can't find it, then they rely on their own means to see if they can go further in the shogunate, or which daimyo can stand out.

The New Year has arrived, and the month-long conquest is considered to be over on this day, but the Ming army at this time cannot return.

There was a series of deals to be done, and the Ashikaga shogunate won several battles with the firearms purchased from the Ming army, and the Ming army spread the news during this period, and these days there were successive Japanese daimyo with silver to buy the Ming army's firearms.

It seems that the New Year has to be spent in this place of the Wa Kingdom.

The New Year was celebrated in the Wa Kingdom until the early spring of February, when a long horn sounded on the battleships and hundreds of fleets slowly departed from Sado Island.

Standing on the deck, Xia Yuan was thinking about the matters that should be done in the Wa Kingdom in the past six months, and he could barely be considered satisfied.

Although this war did not completely destroy the Japanese state, these treaties were signed, of course, such a thing as a treaty, at some times it is not as good as wiping the butt paper, and the key depends on its own strength.

And these treaties are only on the surface, and it is better for the Wa country, or the Ashikaga shogunate, to always obey them, and if they do not comply with them, or even tear up the contract, the Ming Dynasty still has a back hand.

From the end of last year to February now, more than a month and nearly two months, Sado Island has completely become an arms trading market, back and forth to see dozens of daimyos, which is compared to the thousands of daimyo in the Wa Kingdom today, not even a fraction, but it has been the Ming Dynasty brought nearly eighty percent of the firearms exchanged for silver, and left the Wa State with a war that has been fully escalated.

The original purpose of the battle, the Iwami Silver Mine, had been obtained from Ouchi Yoshiko, and that area was exchanged for firearms by the other side.

It is worth mentioning that Ouchi Yoshiko is the daimyo who took in Ashikaga Yoshinoshi, and during this time, Ashikaga Yoshisumi took the firearm provided by Daming and attacked him many times.

And Ouchi Yoshixing was also the first daimyo to come to the Ming army to buy firearms.

However, the Ming army has not mined it, but only left people and horses stationed there, and the current mining is the gold and silver veins of Sado Island.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at the North Korean port, Xia Yuan stared at the coastline in the distance, and sighed leisurely, no matter what, there are still many regrets in this expedition, but it can only end here, he now wants to go home.

Wandering outside for half a year, it is really homesick.

"Hey"

He was sighing, and there was another sigh next to him, Xia Yuan turned his head and saw Zhu Houzhao with a sad face and a sigh.

The closer he is to Daming these days, the more sorrowful Zhu Houzhao's face becomes, he saw Xia Yuan looking at him, and said leisurely: "This time I came out to conquer the Japanese, although I have made a great contribution, but when I return to Beijing, I am afraid that the palace will not survive."

At the beginning, he sneaked out of the palace and his blood surged, but now, he felt impulsive as usual, he shouldn't have come out at the beginning, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not good to come out this time, most of the time he is working as a translator, he hasn't fought a few battles, and the closest to the battlefield is just throwing a few explosive bags into the crowd, and he didn't get on the horse and rush to fight.

Loss, loss.

Xia Yuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but show a touched look, "You are worthy of being a brother, this palace knows about you."

Without waiting to say anything, Xia Yuan added to the words just now: "Wait below, what you want to eat, what you want to wear, what you want, you can give me your dreams, and I will burn them all for you." ”

PS: Ahhhhh The work of riding a horse, who invented the work, is annoyed, and he has to go to work all day long, and he is annoyed to death.

It was so difficult for me to work in the company as a social animal during the day, and to come back at night to pay the public food to my brothers.

I can't pay tomorrow's public rations, I finished making up for today's update, and I have to stay up late to write copywriting.

Well, I handed in the copywriting tomorrow, and I will come back early in the afternoon, and strive to save a few more chapters to prevent the brothers from not receiving public food in the future.

That's it, I'm so sorry, kowtow to my brothers.
