The signing of the "Treaty of Nagasaki" dealt a heavy blow to the Tokugawa shogunate.

For example, the Tokugawa shogunate has always insisted on and continuously deepened the closed-door policy, which was completely broken by Xia Guo.

Not only Nagasaki, but even the core areas of the shogunate, such as Osaka and Edo, must be open to Xia Guo.

From the current point of view, this makes the shogunate completely unable to hold its head up.But who knows what will happen in the future?

Through this treaty, Xia Guo finally got back the ownership of Ryukyu.

As long as this document exists, the fact that Ryukyu is a Chinese vassal state will never change.

Of course, after grasping the breakthrough of King Shangfeng, what Xia Guo wants is not just as simple as Ryukyu returning to the Chinese vassal.

The [-] million taels of war indemnity proposed by Xia Guo was simply not available to the shogunate.

Through conditional replacement, it was finally reduced to two million taels.

Even at this price, the pressure on the Tokugawa shogunate is not small.

In the end, the two parties agreed that the tariffs on Nagasaki, Osaka, and Edo would be repaid over ten years.

Xia Guo also obtained the right to rebuild Osaka from the shogunate, and it also needs to be repaid with tariffs.

It can be foreseen that in the next fifty years, the customs revenue of the shogunate will basically belong to the Xia Kingdom.

Regarding the purchase of firearms from Xia Guo and the training of the army, Doi Toshikatsu and others still hesitated, for fear that Xia Guo would control the military power of the shogunate.

Wang Yun didn't care either.

After the foreign daimyo fought against the shogunate and saw the power of the new army and weapons, the Tokugawa shogunate naturally understood how to choose.

The treaty was signed, and Xia Jun began to withdraw as agreed.

Yida Zhongzong stood at the top of the city, watching the Xia army outside going all the way north, puzzled.

"Send someone to check quickly, where did these Xia soldiers come from?"

The northeast of Dongying, which has always been the most stable, has been attacked by Xia Guo, which has the greatest impact on Dongying people.

Because this means that Dongpu has no room for strategic relaxation, and if there is any conflict with Xia Guo, it will be besieged from all directions.

The Marine Regiment also boarded a ship and left the defense, retreating to the Goto Islands.

From now on, this place will be the territory of Xia Kingdom.

After discussing with Lou Fu and Zhang Keda, Wang Yun arranged the Marine Regiment on it.In addition, the North Sea Fleet will also build a base here.

Starting from here, it would be much more convenient for the military to intervene in Japan's affairs.

An order came from the Central Committee, and Shen Tingyang was promoted from Nagasaki Commercial Representative to Ambassador to Japan and went to Edo to take up the post.

Xia Guo's shadow began to gradually fade from Dongpu mainland.

But everyone understands that this is not the beginning of calm, but the foreshadowing of greater turmoil.

Between the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo, there must be a desperate fight to determine the winner.

On the island of Kyushu, foreign daimyos who had re-divided their powers began to prepare their troops. They spent their wealth to buy weapons from Xia Guo, and invited Xia Guo to reform and train the army.

There is only one place that is quite exceptional.

"Instructor, are you leaving too?"

Looking at Yuan Shengshou and others packing up their luggage, Amakusa was reluctant to part with it.

"Our mission is done, it's time to go back."

Yuan Shengshou was also very emotional.

During this period of time, he and Amakusa Tokisada cooperated very well.

The boy admired him very much and obeyed his arrangement very much.The two sides have shared joys and sorrows for a long time, and have already forged a profound friendship.

Amakusa Tokisada is very lonely.

"Youweimon is gone too, and you are gone too. Is the Shimabara rebel army going to be abandoned?"

What made Amakusa Tokisada the most unacceptable was that his most trusted assistant, Eemon, chose to leave.

Because Eemon was once a samurai of the Arima family.

Arima Naosumi just in time, anyway, got a large area of ​​land in Buzen and Bungo, and the Arima family began to revitalize.

Various talents are urgently needed at this time, so Eemon was recruited.

When Uemon came to Amakusa Tokisada's side, he carried the mission of the Arima family, and now it is inevitable to leave.

However, having lost his most trusted partner, Yuan Shengshou, who was the most helpful, and other Xia Guo instructors were leaving, Amakusa Tokizhen felt lonely all of a sudden.

"You are also a feudal lord now, owning a large area of ​​land. There are still many people relying on you to live, you have to cheer up."

Yuan Shengshou had no choice but to comfort him like this.

But the effect is not good.

"You know, I'm different from those feudal lords. In their eyes, they don't regard a pariah like me as a friend. If you leave, the Shimabara Rebel Army will be annexed and wiped out. It won't be too far away."

Although Amakusa Tokisada is young, she is very smart.

He knew very well that the class gap in Japan was deeply rooted, and a person from a poor background like him would not be recognized by those daimyos.

Without Xia Guo's help, the Shimahara rebels would not be able to hold on for long, surrounded by wolves.

Yuan Shengshou frowned, and felt the same about what he said.

But his level determines that many things cannot be decided by him.

"Shiro, to be honest, I can't answer your troubles because I don't understand either. You know, this is different from fighting."

This was the truth, but it made Amakusa Tokisada's eyes watery, and he felt that the future was darker.

At this moment, Yuan Shengshang changed the subject.

"However, I think there must be someone who can show you the way."

Amakusa Tokizhen suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of hope.

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness King Xia."

Amakusa Shizhen was fascinated by it, and she had already heard about the legendary His Royal Highness King Xia.

"But His Royal Highness King Xia is thousands of miles away."

Yuan Shengshou shook his head and nodded again.

"The situation in Kyushu Island is still stable now. The Xia army is in the Wudao Islands. Those daimyos want to deal with the shogunate for a while, and they won't attack you for the time being. I think this is a very good time. If If you can go to Xia Kingdom, meet His Highness King Xia in person, and get his advice, you will definitely be able to get help."

He made his words more clear.

"Those daimyos are not friends of Xia Guo. Once there is no threat from the shogunate, they will even become Xia Guo's enemies. Xia Guo is also troubled, how to find real friends in Dongpu. You know, those daimyos will not Leave their lair and go to Xia Guo to visit His Highness. And if you go, you know what it means."

Amakusa Tokisada understood.

Once he visits Xia Guo, it means that he has completely opened his heart to Xia Guo, and the relationship between the two parties will be further improved.

From then on, Xia Guo will definitely give him more attention and help.

And with Xia Guo behind him, those greedy big names on Kyushu Island have to weigh it carefully and anger Xia Guo's fate.

After understanding the other joints, Amakusa Tokisada couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He has one last hesitation.

"If I leave for a while, and the Shimabara rebel army has no leader, will there be any trouble?"

Yuan Shengshou smiled confidently.

"You are on a visit to Xia Guo, if something unexpected happens during your visit, where will Xia Guo's face be put?"
