"General Da'ao ruled Dongying with his authority. If the authority is lost, what else can he say? Therefore, he went to the Xia Kingdom to ask for surrender, and I still look forward to Haihan."

Among the various conditions proposed by Xia Guo before, the most unacceptable to the shogunate was the need for Tokugawa Iemitsu to personally rush to Xia Guo to surrender.

Not to mention that Xia Guohui will not play tricks, so he detains Tokugawa Iemitsu.Just because Tokugawa Iemitsu left the mainland, whether he can come back is a question.

What would the shogunate do if those foreign daimyos who were already plotting against the law revolted while taking advantage of Tokugawa's absence?
Not to mention, this kind of behavior is a great shame to Iemitsu Tokugawa.

Once done, the shogunate will collapse.

"The terms of the exchange."

Xia Guo obviously also knew that this was the bottom line of the shogunate and would never agree.

But the price is skyrocketing, and now the shogunate needs to come up with something that is enough to exchange.

Toshikatsu Doi was very excited to see something to talk about.

"Please also ask for instructions."

Wang Yun has already mastered various plans.

"The Wudao Islands were ceded to the State of Xia. From now on, the exchanges between Dongying and North Korea must be managed by the State of Xia."

Ceded the land?

Doi Toshikatsu instinctively refused, and hurriedly discussed with Lin Luoshan and Date Masamune.

Unlike him, Lin Luoshan and Date Masamune felt that this exchange was nothing.

"The Wudao Islands are located in the west of Kyushu. After they are ceded to Xia Kingdom, Xia Kingdom will definitely send troops here. According to the soldiers, Kyushu is the first to bear the brunt. From my point of view, Xia Kingdom may not have good intentions towards those foreign names."

Lin Luoshan analyzed it very clearly.

Although ceding the territory is humiliating, the Goto Islands are far away in the Tsushima Strait west of Kyushu, and have never been under the control of the shogunate.Whether it is damaged or not, it has no effect on the shogunate.

Since Xia Guo excluded the Kyushu daimyo from the peace talks, he obviously didn't want to completely break up with the shogunate because of this.

That being the case, ceding a useless island, creating some trouble for the Kyushu daimyo, and increasing the rift between the Kyushu daimyo and Xia Guo, can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Toshikatsu Doi was successfully persuaded.

Back at the negotiating table, this one was passed smoothly.

During the peace talks on the second day, another sensitive issue was involved.

"The title of General Ooku is the life of the shogunate. It must not be abolished. I hope it can be reversed."

The "respectful title" issue mentioned by Toshikatsu Doi is the abolition of Tokugawa Ieyasu's honorary title mentioned by Xia Guo before.

As the founder of the shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu was also the beginning of the legality of the shogunate.

If the title of Tokugawa Ieyasu is abolished, it is tantamount to denying the legitimacy of the Tokugawa shogunate and completely shaking the foundation of the shogunate.

How can the shogunate agree to this?

However, with the previous negotiation as a reference, Wang Yun's start was very happy.

"Any Xia country businessman in Nagasaki, Osaka, Edo and other places involved in trade, criminal, and civil affairs disputes should be handled by consulates dispatched by Xia country, and Dongying has no right to interfere."

Xia Guo offered consular jurisdiction in exchange.

In the last peace talks, Xia Guo wanted to get the jurisdiction over Nagasaki, but failed, but it laid a foreshadowing.

Shen Tingyang played the role of foreshadowing very well and provided a lot of help for the follow-up Dongying Raiders.

But this time the shogunate was completely defeated, and the foreshadowing had to be replaced with real benefits.

It is of course an unforgettable humiliation for the Tokugawa shogunate to be on the land of their own country but have no power to deal with legal matters.

But it is a pity that in the face of survival, even the greatest humiliation has to be endured.

Toshikatsu Doi decided to fight for it.

"If Xia Guo no longer supports those rebellious daimyos from now on, this condition... we can accept."

Wang Yun straightened his chest loudly.

"Xia Guo will not interfere in Dongpu's internal affairs. Disputes between the shogunate and foreign daimyos are all resolved by you."

This guarantee really made Doi Lisheng very happy.

"Won't Xia Guo subsidize firearms to give foreign daimyos?"

Lou Fu smiled like a cunning fox.

"If the shogunate wants to conduct arms trade with Xia, we also wholeheartedly welcome it. In addition, as long as the shogunate offers a reasonable price, our Xia country can also help the shogunate to reform the army."

The hearts of the three of Doi Rikatsu are full of dark clouds.

They didn't understand that Xia Guo was eating at both ends, forcing the shogunate and foreign daimyo to kill each other.

But can they refuse?
Today's shogunate and foreign daimyo are already prisoners in a difficult situation. If they want to live, they can only do so by stepping on each other's corpses.

No wonder they were all deluded by ambition to the point where the crack could no longer be repaired.

Even if they knew what Xia Guo's conspiracy was, they couldn't stop it.

Doi Toshikatsu was really depressed.

"As for the purchase of firearms and the training of the army, we will contact Xia Guo after we have discussed it properly."

So far, the two sides have finally reached an agreement on the ceasefire negotiations.

Although Xia Guo's previous conditions were greatly discounted, Xia Guo's harvest is still extremely rich.

At the same time, the seeds of civil war were sown in Japan, so that they could reap greater benefits in the future.

After a tragic defeat, the Tokugawa shogunate paid a heavy price. At least they kept their vitality, and they still had a slight advantage against foreign daimyos.

The two sides passed back the negotiated conditions respectively, and the atmosphere was completely different.

"Hahaha, the goal of controlling Japan is not far away."

Zuo Menggeng played the paper and celebrated, his happy look made many people puzzled.

I don't understand why this leader attaches so much importance to Japan.

How did they know that the souls of future generations would all wish to destroy that island country.

Although Zuo Menggeng always warns himself not to act like wild beasts and devils, he is of course inexplicably happy to be able to vent his anger on the Chinese nation.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was trembling as he held the negotiated agreement.

He couldn't even imagine how to meet his grandfather and father after death.

The glory built up by the Tokugawa family with all their painstaking efforts has all been wiped out in his hands.

He also had to sign the agreement.

After all, only after signing the treaty can the shogunate continue to exist and talk about other things.

Otherwise, his ending may not be better than that of Toyotomi Hideyori.

Finally, they returned to Nagasaki together with an agreement signed and sealed by the central committees of both parties, and Wang Yun and Doi Toshikatsu performed the exchange as representatives.

"I hope the shogunate can understand the majesty of the heavens and the precious blessings of the Shang Kingdom, and abide by the status of the country. I really don't hope that your two countries will meet again."

Toshikatsu Doi bowed heavily.

"From now on, the shogunate will be the most loyal courtiers of the Shang Kingdom, and will definitely learn from the nobleness of the Shang Kingdom, and will not dare to commit any crimes again."

Wang Yun confiscated the text of the treaty, Tokugawa Iemitsu's surrender document, the document ceding the Goto Islands, and the document recognizing Ryukyu as a vassal state of China, and left with a complete victory.

And this incident had an incalculable impact on the situation in Japan.

Historians of later generations have identified the "Nagasaki Treaty" as an important event node that changed the history of East Asia.
