Ming Zuo

Chapter 947 Heroes
"Ten taels of silver for ordinary captives, and one hundred taels for generals."

Fu Xinyuan announced the price for the redemption of the captives, which made everyone in Dongying frown.

"The price is simply too high for us to accept."

Shimadzu Hisakyo wanted to vomit blood depressedly.

Satsuma's family property is already empty, where can I get the money to redeem the captives?

Fu Xinyuan chuckled and refused to budge.

"In that case, let's exchange them normally. As for the prisoners you can't redeem, how to deal with them is our business."

Looking at his cold expression, everyone knew that the fate of these Japanese prisoners might not be very good.

Shimadzu Jiuqing made some calculations, and realized that there might not be many prisoners captured by the Xia army captured by the Satsuma clan, so he hurriedly said, "We will try our best to raise money."

For today's Satsuma clan, the sky is big and the earth is big, and people are the biggest.

Without enough troops, it is absolutely impossible to keep the territory.

The Hyuga Kingdom has already been handed over to the shogunate, if there is not enough power, I am afraid that the remaining Satsuma and Osumi will be in trouble.

Even if Satsuma had to pay a lot of money for this, the price must be borne.

This temporary topic was originally considered to be over here.

However, Zuo Hua stepped forward.

His expression was incomparably cold, and the words he spoke were even more coercive.

"I would like to remind everyone that if any of our prisoners of war are found to have suffered any abuse or injury during the handover, all previous agreements will be invalidated. The dignity of our Xia soldiers must be repaid with blood."

The overwhelming murderous aura really frightened everyone in Dongpu.

They also didn't expect Xia Guo to value the prisoners of war so much, and when they thought about the way they treated the prisoners, they all shuddered.

Toshikatsu Doi immediately gave Hisazu Shimadzu a stern warning look.

Hisashi Shimadzu trembled, and quickly whispered a few words to the people around him.

The man hurriedly left before the meeting was over.I didn't stop in Busan, boarded the boat, and went all the way back to Dongying.

So far, the peace talks between Xia Guo and Dongying have all come to an end, and a consensus has been reached on all terms.

According to the agreement, Xia Guo and the Netherlands have the permission to trade and live in Nagasaki, and at the same time, the tariffs paid are reduced to [-] taxes, which is the same as Zheng's treatment.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, the feudal lord of the Satsuma domain in Japan, had to personally write an apology and deliver it to Xia Guo.

Japan withdraws the defenders on the Wudao Islands. From now on, this place serves as a buffer zone between Xia and Japan, and no armed forces are allowed to exist.

Xia Guo and Dongying reached an agreement to exchange prisoners. At the same time, Dongying must treat Xia Guo's prisoners of war well.If there is a violation, all the above agreements will be void and the war will continue.

At the end of the negotiation, Toshikatsu Doi ordered the text of the agreement to be returned to Japan immediately and handed over to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Only when Tokugawa Iemitsu signs and seals, the agreement will come into effect.

Xia Guo's agreement was placed on Zuo Menggeng's desk, which made him very satisfied.

"In the coming time, your navy should not be idle. When you need to be dispatched, go to the coast of Dongpu. At least you should familiarize yourself with the sea conditions first."

Everyone understood that Zuo Menggeng was putting pressure on Dongying.

He had learned the lesson from the negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Dongying during the Japanese Invasion in Imchen.

Although the Ming Dynasty and Dongying both had peace talks at that time, the generals on the front line were really unreliable, and they were all moths.As a result, the negotiations broke down and the war broke out again.

Now Toshikatsu Doi and others are behaving normally, but the agreement reached is very unfavorable to Japan. How can I know what Tokugawa Iemitsu thinks?
Strong force must be used to force the Tokugawa shogunate to recognize the reality and obediently sign the agreement.

Zuo Hua understood.

Xia Guo's navy was dispatched in its entirety, divided into several parts, and appeared along the coast of Dongying.

They did not fire, nor did they attack the ships of the Dongying people.

But when the warship appeared on the shore of Dongpu, it was impossible for the people of Dongpu not to be nervous.

Tokugawa Iemitsu received the text of the agreement, and as expected, anger was certain.

But this anger is limited.

Although on the surface it seems that this agreement has caused Dongpu to suffer a lot, but for the Tokugawa shogunate, it has earned more.

Especially those big names in the west who have different appearances, have shown greater loyalty through this incident.

Not to mention that the Tokugawa shogunate also took control of the Hyuga Kingdom from the Satsuma clan.

From now on, the Tokugawa shogunate has driven a nail into Kyushu Island, and can interfere with the situation here at any time.

Politicians are best at calculating.

Now that he has earned the most benefits, how can Tokugawa Iemitsu care about a little loss of face?

He didn't hesitate for too long, and he signed the agreement without even consulting his staff.

In the dark dungeon, the space is very cramped.

There was a disgusting stench everywhere, and the dirty rats were crawling around, but they couldn't make any movement.

Chen Zhibang nestled in such a place, with wounds all over his body, bloody and bloody.

But the physical pain has no effect on him.

All his thoughts are given to his hometown far away in the sky.

There are his parents, his brother, and his lovely sister.

He knew that he might not be able to go back in his life.

He was an ordinary soldier of the Xia State Navy. During the Battle of Tsushima, he followed the squadron leader Huang Fei on a rampage and scouted the main force of the Dongpu Fleet.

It's a pity that on the way back, the boat he was on was besieged by the Japanese army.

At the last moment, the captain blatantly detonated the explosives and chose to die with the Dongying people.

Chen Zhibang originally thought that his life would end at that moment, but he didn't expect the shock wave of the explosion to stun him, and he fell into the sea.

When he woke up, he had already fallen into the hands of the Dongying people.

These cruel Japanese pirates beat and insulted him endlessly, and imposed various tortures on him.

The tough guy with strong bones didn't even frown, he dealt with it calmly, and kept cursing at the Dongying people.

In the end, he was taken to Japan and put in prison.

Beside him, there are dozens of comrades in arms who are equally unfortunate.

Everyone looked miserable, but no one gave in.

In the dark days and the ravaged torture, faith is the only thing that supports them.

As Xia Guo soldiers, they have supreme pride.

This pride makes them unable to bow their heads to any difficulty.

I just miss my hometown and relatives, and I will never see you again.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, and a Japanese general rushed over with a large group of soldiers, and finally stopped in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhibang thought that the last moment had come.

"Brothers, there are no cowards in Xia Guo's soldiers. Even if we die, we must die standing up, and we must not embarrass His Highness and Xia Jun."

The others supported each other and stood up slowly, their seemingly stooped bodies were able to stand upright.

"With a scar no bigger than a bowl on my head, I will still be a good man eighteen years later."

"Just because these dwarves are worthy of letting Lao Tzu bow his head?"

"When I go to hell, I have to snatch the throne of Hades."
