Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 511, Hongzhi Gengshen Treaty (Yesterday's)
Article [-]: Wa Kingdom must bear the military expenses of Daming this time, and it needs to pay [-] million taels of silver to Daming in total, which can be paid in installments.

Seeing this, the King of Japan, the shogun, the ministers of the shogunate and many daimyos were all dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and some of them couldn't help but rub their eyes, unable to believe what they saw.

Daming actually asked them for military expenses and war indemnity, and the lion opened his mouth, and it was [-] million taels of silver.

But this is not the key point, the key point is that in the eyes of the surrounding vassal states, Daming has always been a model of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice. When the vassal states went to pay tribute to Daming, Daming was always afraid of the vassal state's loss, and returned several times every time.

So in everyone's minds, the image of Daming as a good old man is deeply rooted in his bones.

What's more, Daming has always paid attention to benevolence and righteousness, and it is basically dominated by Confucianism to the outside world. Therefore, everyone feels that even if Daming proposes conditions for peace talks, at most it is to order Japan to go down, and then some Daren Dayi and so on In other words, under the surface, the demeanor of the Ming Dynasty reminded the Wa country not to mess around, at most it was like this.

Who knew that Daming now wanted them to pay compensation, and it was [-] million taels of silver for a single mouth, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

"Master Zhang, Master Liu~"

"Daming is the upper kingdom, and has always treated our vassal kingdom with courtesy, why would we ask for compensation?"

Hosokawa Masato said to Zhang Mao and Liu Jin with his eyes widened.

"That's right, Daming is the suzerain country of our Wa country, how could it embarrass our vassal country because of this little money?"

Yin Shizhongzhen also couldn't believe it, and at the same time, his forehead was sweating. If he really paid Daming [-] million taels of silver, the shogunate would be completely penniless.

"Is this still a vassal state of our Wa country?"

"Why do you value profit over righteousness?"

"Yes, yes, Daming has always been benevolent, how could this be?"

Many daimyos also nodded and expressed their opinions. If the compensation of [-] million taels of silver fell to the entire Wa Kingdom, how could these daimyos escape? Also anxious.

"Our Ming Dynasty is of course benevolent and righteous, and it has always been benevolent and righteous to our vassal states of the Ming Dynasty."

Liu Jin glanced coldly and said: "But some people don't take our Da Ming's benevolence and justice to heart, so naturally we don't need to be benevolent to them."

"Clearly knowing that our Ming Dynasty is the suzerain state, but still collecting heavy taxes from our Ming businessmen, and even killing our Da Ming businessmen, we don't have our Ming Dynasty at all in our eyes."

"Since there is no us Da Ming, then there is no need for us Da Ming to be too benevolent."

"If your country of Wa hadn't done these things, our Ming army would naturally not have come to the country of Wa, so all of this is your country's own fault."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was silent again.

To be honest, many Wa people don’t think that Daming is their suzerain country, and they don’t see Daming at all. The two countries are separated by the sea, so it’s inconvenient to communicate, so what if your Daming is bigger?

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army came to the Wa Kingdom this time and taught these Wa people a lesson, most of the Wa people wouldn't think of Daming.

There are not just one or two big names who want to impose heavy taxes on the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and want to loot the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, they really lacked awe towards Daming.

"But, my lord, isn't the fifteen million taels of silver too much?"

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Hosokawa Masato said after thinking about it, it seems that compensation is inevitable, so we can only see if we can pay less.

"A lot?"

"I don't think it's much at all. Our Ming Dynasty dispatched [-] troops. This man ate horse chews, and the artillery we spent, and the soldiers who died in battle, just [-] million taels of silver is not much at all."

Liu Jin looked at Masato Hosokawa and said.

"My lord, even though that's the case, we can't use [-] million taels of silver, not to mention that our country of Wa is no better than Daming. Our country of Wa is small and has few goods. How can we have so much silver to pay Daming?"

Hosokawa Masato was glanced at by Liu Jin, and his whole body felt creepy, and his voice was a little weaker.

"Then I don't care. This is a matter of your Wa country. The money must be paid. I just came here to bargain with you. I just told you this condition. It is your business whether to pay or not. It is entirely up to you to decide."

Liu Jin smiled, as if convinced of your intentions.

The knife is on the neck, the meat is sure to be eaten.

Compared with how the later generations of Japanese people behaved when negotiating with Mi Qing, Liu Jin felt that he was still too kind. With tens of thousands of troops in hand, it was enough to sweep the entire Japanese country. Is it too little to ask them for [-] million taels of silver? Some?
Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone frowned and remained silent.

Naturally, the big names from all over the world are not easy to speak. They are weak and weak. If they speak up, they will be targeted by the Ming army. The opponent can send a large army to destroy you casually. The big names are now all removed.

On the side of the shogunate, the puppet Ashikaga Yoshisumi had no right to speak and did not want to speak. Masato Hosokawa, Tadada Yoshikawa, and Tomiko Hino looked at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Now the knife is really on the neck. If you say no, believe it or not, the Ming army will go to Kyoto and Muromachi right now?

There was silence, and everyone continued to look down.

Article [-]: In order to express punishment, Wa Kingdom must cede Ishimi Kingdom to Daming, and at the same time lease Hyogo’s Tianjin to Daming.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically again.

What exactly does Daming want to do?
To actually occupy a piece of land on Honshu Island of the Wa Kingdom, is this planning to slowly annex the entire Wa Kingdom step by step?
"My lord, ceding Shi Jian country to Daming, is it possible that Daming wants to annex and occupy our Wa country?"

Yin Shizhongzhen couldn't help shouting out.

"Invasion of your Japanese country?"

"You think too much. The whole world is very big. There is more fertile and rich land than your Wa country. Our Ming Dynasty doesn't care about your Wa country at all."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"What's more, your Wa country is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. As the suzerain state, how can we invade our vassal state?"

"We, Ming Dynasty, have always treated our vassal states with utmost benevolence and courtesy, and we will never do anything to hurt our brothers or friends again."

"This time, it's just to let you Japanese remember that as a vassal state, you should have the consciousness of a vassal state, and you must always maintain awe of the suzerain state."

"Ceding Shi Jianguo is to let you remember this."

"In addition, ceding Shijian country and renting the city of Hyogo is also to protect our Ming merchants. We will station troops in these two areas. If someone in your Wa country dares to commit crimes again, and you have no father, then our Ming Dynasty will treat your Wa country. The punishment goes far beyond that."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone immediately felt overwhelmed. The country of Wa is already in chaos.

And who knows if what Liu Jin said is true or not?

Daming is really not interested in the Wa country?

It seems that Daming is really not interested in the Wa Kingdom. The Ming people that everyone has come into contact with all have their nostrils upturned. They look like they are the best in the world, and my Ming people are the most awesome.

Other places are barbaric lands, and people outside of Ming Dynasty are barbarians, uneducated and ignorant of the way of saints.

It is said that Daming has no interest in the Wa Kingdom, and everyone believes it.

However, the cession of Shi Jian country and the lease in Hyogo Tsu, no matter how you look at it, it means that the Ming Dynasty wants to annex the Wa country in an all-round way.

"My lord, this Shi Jian country is the inherent land of our country of Wa. Is it inappropriate to cede it to Daming?"

"And through this time, our country of Wa will definitely remember Daming's kindness, and will never dare to have similar things happen again. Can the garrison be spared?"

Hosokawa Masato thought quickly in his heart, thought for a while and said.

"What's wrong?"

"If you make a mistake, you will be taught a lesson. It's just a Shi Jianguo, a bit bigger."

"As for saying that you don't dare to make such a mistake again, to be honest, I don't believe it. I would rather believe that the sword in my hand can protect my own safety."

"The safety of our Ming people must be guarded by our Ming army. The garrison is also to supervise your Wa country. If your Wa country looks good, we can consider withdrawing troops in the future."

No matter, let's fool around first, anyway, since ancient times, things like contracts have been used to deceive people, and the performance of the contract depends entirely on the relationship and strength comparison between the two parties.

If this Wa country becomes stronger, it will definitely tear up the contract and expel the Ming army.

Anyway, let's sign the contract first, and whether to withdraw the troops in the future is a matter for the future.

"My lord, it is absolutely impossible to cede Ishijian country. Can it be leased like Hyogo Tsu?"

Yin Shizhongzhen, Hosokawa Masatoshi, Hino Tomiko and others looked at each other. It seemed that this was another unchangeable treaty. After thinking about it, they said it was a bargain.

It was obvious that a sharp sword was going to hang over the heads of the Wa people. If the Wa country was obedient, it would be the best. If the Wa country was not obedient, the sharp sword would fall.

As long as the Ming army is stationed on the side of the Wa Kingdom, many things in the Wa Kingdom will not be decided by the people of the Wa Kingdom themselves, and it will depend on Daming's face.

"No, Shi Jian country must be ceded to our Daming."

Zhang Mao shook his head and said very firmly.

Are you kidding me, this battle is fought for the Shijian Silver Mine of Shijian Country, hundreds of millions of taels of silver, such a huge wealth, even the emperor of Ming Dynasty is enough to lose all face.

Other conditions can still be negotiated, except for the cession of Shi Jianguo, there is no room for negotiation.

Hearing Zhang Mao's words, many people were slightly startled. This Zhang Mao seldom speaks. Everything is controlled by Liu Jin. Now he said so firmly, it is obvious that Shi Jianguo is going to be settled by Daming.

"It's a small Ishijian country, why are you here?"

"How about this, we Da Ming exchanged land, one hundred times the land of Shi Jian country, so as not to say that our Da Ming bullied your Wa country and bullied our vassal country."

Liu Jin thought about it and said with a smile.

If it weren't for the silver mines in Ishijian country, I wouldn't look down on this broken place. Of course, the location of Iwami country is very important. It will be an important point on the route to Gold Island in the future. After occupying this place, I will go to gold in the future. continent is much more convenient.

"Really?"

When Liu Jin said that he wanted to exchange land for Shi Jianguo, and that he would come to Shijianguo with a hundred times the land, many daimyos, shoguns, ministers, Japanese kings and others were dumbfounded.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

At the same time, Zhang Mao, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yun also widened their eyes. What the hell is Liu Jin doing?

"Cough cough~"

Liu Jin coughed lightly, thought for a while and said, "I think you all know that there is a very large world outside of our Ming Dynasty and Wa Kingdom, and there is a very vast and huge land."

"Golden Continent, Australia, Europe, Africa, etc., there are a lot of fertile and vast lands. In the future, our Ming Dynasty can support your country to expand in Africa and Europe."

Liu Jin once again started talking about the world outside of Daming and Wa Kingdom. These things have already been spread to Wa Kingdom through the merchants of Ming Dynasty, and the famous names of the Wa Kingdom present are also known.

Know that the world outside of Ming Dynasty and Wa Kingdom is very big, with vast and boundless land, very fertile, and contains endless treasures.

In the past, these people never thought about expanding beyond the Wa country. They just thought about invading North Korea to see if they could set foot on the mainland.

Well now, Liu Jin actually said that he could support the expansion of the Wa Kingdom in Europe and Africa. Suddenly, it seemed like a lightning flashed across the minds of the Wa people present. A vast and boundless world seemed to be waiting for the Wa people to conquer.

"Really?"

A big name couldn't help but said.

"Of course it is true. Our Ming Dynasty is the suzerain country of everyone. Whether it is your Japanese country, North Korea, Annan, or Siam, they are all vassal states of our Ming Dynasty. We have always admired my Chinese civilization. In terms of blood, we They can all be considered family.”

"The whole world is huge, and our Da Ming alone can't finish it, so our Da Ming is willing to take everyone to conquer the whole world together."

When he said this, Liu Jin's old face couldn't help but blush.

In the final analysis, it was still for the benefit of Daming. If Daming wanted to conquer the whole world, it was still a bit reluctant for him to rely on himself. It would be good to bring along these vassal brothers.

This can lay the foundation for the subsequent recruitment of Japanese samurai, Korean samurai, Annan samurai, etc. At that time, they can justifiably recruit soldiers from these vassal states, and use their people to conquer the world. As for the distribution of benefits, it will be in the hands of Daming.

When the time comes, Daming will eat a large piece of cake, and giving these vassal states a small head will be enough to kill them. After all, their country is small, and a piece of land will be enough for them to laugh from ear to ear.

In addition, Liu Jin is also laying the foundation for the future world.

Because he traveled over here, great changes have taken place in Ming Dynasty. The future that Liu Jin can see is that the two civilizations of the East and the West are fighting for hegemony over the entire world.

There are many countries in the Western world, with Western civilization as the core.

On the east side, it is natural to have Ming as the core, plus this vassal state, with the Eastern Huaxia civilization as the core. If this is the case, it will not be single and weak in the future competition.

Why do Australia, Canada, and even some small countries in later generations pay us no attention? In fact, it is not because they are the best in these countries, but because they are the best with the bald eagle, John Bull, and Gallic chicken. It's a family, all members of their core Western values.

Liu Jin has seen this, so now he must start to work hard to build an eastern core camp dominated by Ming Dynasty.

Japan, North Korea, Annan, and Siam all ignored us in later generations, and even hurt us, but the key point is that we are weak and our strength is not good enough.

If we are strong, they will still be our loyal little brothers. In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence. If you are strong, the world will open the way for you. Naturally, if you are not strong, even a sand will block your footsteps.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the senior officials of the Wa Kingdom present suddenly believed Liu Jin's words, and believed that Daming really had no interest in the Wa Kingdom.

The ceding of Ishimi country and the lease of Hyogo Tsu were really to protect the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and to teach the Wa country a lesson. As for the annexation of the Wa country, it seemed that it was really unnecessary.

Because the world is very big, there are too many, too many fertile regions waiting for Ming to conquer, and it seems that there is really nothing worthy of being annexed by Da Ming in this poor country.

At the same time, everyone's minds are also alive. Regarding the world outside of Daming, everyone has heard a lot from the merchants of Daming, and many people also yearn for the world outside of Daming.

It's just that due to limited strength, there is no way to get in touch. Now that Daming is willing to take everyone to play, it is naturally the best.

Gold Island is full of gold, Africa is full of gems and ivory, and silk and porcelain are used as gold in Europe... Thinking of this, some ambitious Japanese daimyos couldn't help but be jealous.

"I'm going~ Liu Jin, this stinky boy is too good at fooling around. This is trying to kill the people of the Japanese country. Africa and Europe are thousands of miles away, and they can even take out painting cakes. I really admire~"

Zhang Mao couldn't help giving Liu Jin a thumbs up in his heart. This man is shameless, he can do anything with his heart, and Liu Jin is too good at fooling people.

"That's a good idea. Da Ming conquered the world, and he could indeed bring the vassal states like Japan and North Korea. The world is so big that we Da Ming can't finish it. It's good for everyone to share a share."

Wang Shouren also nodded straight to Liu Jin's proposal. This can be possible. Compared with other countries, this vassal state of Ming Dynasty is still closer.

　Five thousand words, counting yesterday's update, there will be more tonight, what do you think of the idea of ​​taking a vassal state to rampage the world?
