Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 489 Bargaining?

"Marriage? This general is only in his twenties, and he doesn't have a son or daughter under his knees. How can he have children to marry people from Huaxia?" Tokugawa Iemitsu said dissatisfied.

"Echizen Kingdom Fukui feudal lord Matsudaira Tadanao has a daughter named Tsuruhime. Matsudaira Tadanao once married the elder sister of the head of the family, and now has a daughter who is 13 years old, who is just a candidate for marriage. As long as the head of the house adopts her as an adopted daughter, she will be famous and famous. If the marriage is successful, maybe we don't need to pay such a heavy price of 100 million taels of silver and three conditions, this is an option that can be considered." A vassal said.

"Age and status are enough, but this will really damage the reputation of our shogunate. Although our Tokugawa family has continued to marry daimyos and feudal lords, it is only an internal matter of our Dongying Kingdom. When dealing with overseas countries Why did we ever bow our knees so lowly?" Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't hold back his face.

"Forgive my retainers for speaking bluntly. Giving privileges to the Kyushu Army and cede land for compensation is more embarrassing than marriage. Moreover, cede land for compensation and ask for privileges are just the beginning for the Kyushu Army. Now that they are powerful in China, we are powerful Weak, the marriage can make their people a little more restrained. We don't suffer from this deal." Abe Tadaaki said.

"Even you say that?" Tokugawa Iemitsu hesitated.Thinking about it carefully, exchanging his third sister's daughter for the long-term peace and stability of the shogunate is a very good deal.

"Huaxia attaches great importance to Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and always attaches great importance to the ethics. If the two sides form a family, the Kyushu Army will not invade us because of the righteousness." Sakai Tadakatsu said the same.

"This matter... has some consideration, Abe Zhongqiu, this matter will be left to you. We can't agree to their conditions right away, otherwise it will appear that we are weak and easy to bully. We can bargain with them and try our best to The losses of the shogunate were minimized," Tokugawa Iemitsu said.

"The retainers will do their best to negotiate with the Kyushu Army." Abe Tadaaki said.

Because of the arrival of the expeditionary force led by Zheng Zhilong, the allied forces withdrew [-] li to the west.Of course, this does not mean that the Allied Forces of the Fallen Empire did nothing. They divided their forces and plundered the remnants of the Shogunate in Kansai, consolidating their dominance in the western part of Japan.

During this period, the fallen coalition forces held Emperor Meisho in Kyoto hostage, and urgently established a new regime—the Amaterasu Empire!Emperor Mingzheng was just an eight-year-old girl, and also the niece of Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was abruptly regarded as the banner of the fall of the Allied Forces and was regarded as the emperor. Hidejou and Tadyoshi Yamauchi, the lord of the Tosa domain, were simultaneously appointed generals who conquered barbarians, leading many daimyos to form a cabinet.It is to forcibly combine the Ming system they know with the shogunate system here, and the cabinet will be led by General Zheng Yi.The emperor is still a decoration.And he was just a brat with no hair at all, they didn't pay attention to him at all.

"You want to marry a little hairless boy with our Kyushu army? Not to mention a little boy, all the sisters of your shogunate are given to our military leader. Our military leader doesn't even have a straight face. I won’t look at one of them. Where is the lack of beauties in all ethnic groups in China?” Zheng Zhilong snorted.

With the quality of the women around Chu Yun, the ten streets here are blown up, and a 13-year-old girl?If he brought it back, Zheng Zhilong would probably be whipped by Chu Yun with a shoehorn.Although marriage and childbearing were relatively early in ancient times, Chu Yun has already begun to try to raise the age of marriage and childbearing.Of course, in order to increase the population in the colonial era, Chu Yun encouraged those who are married to have more children. Anyway, with the start of agricultural reforms throughout the country, the number of people who can support them will increase in the future.During Qianlong's time, he was able to feed 3 million people. There is no reason why Chu Yun, who is still unlocking new agricultural technologies, couldn't do it.

"Zheng Zhilong, what you said is too much, right?" Tadakatsu Sakai said with some dissatisfaction when he saw Zheng Zhilong slandering the shogun.

"Our conditions are here. You want to use a 13-year-old girl to replace the 50 silver and the three conditions. It is simply wishful thinking. If this continues, our patience will be exhausted." Zheng Zhilong said.

"The marriage is only to promote our close ties with China. Since your army is unwilling to agree to the marriage, then we must modify the three conditions carefully, otherwise it will be too harsh for our shogunate." Abe Tadaaki said.

"The first condition is that you can be given the right to build trains, but the length must not exceed a thousand miles, and they must not pass through our important cities, and the right to operate them is 30 years."

"The second condition is about free trade. If your army helps us recover Kansai, we can open Osaka Castle and three eastern coastal cities to trade with you on the basis of opening the two cities of Nagasaki and Hirado."

"The third condition..."

Abe Tadaaki explained the revised conditions of the shogunate, and Zheng Zhilong's face gradually became gloomy.

"...All books need to be filed and approved by our shogunate before they are published." Abe Tadaaki finished the revised conditions.

Zheng Zhilong's face was quite ugly at this time, and he winked at Zheng Zhihu.Zheng Zhihu, who was at the side, understood and rolled up his sleeves...

"Baga!" Zheng Zhihu slapped a shogunate attendant following Abe Tadaaki to the ground.

Snapped!There was a loud slap, and the shogunate attendant was bleeding from his mouth, covering his swollen cheek blankly, not understanding why the officer of the Kyushu Army suddenly violently injured someone.

Abe Tadaaki, Sakai Tadakatsu and other retainers were startled suddenly.The Kyushu Army is too tyrannical!

"This is not a vegetable market, and our Kyushu Army is not a vegetable seller. We have agreed on three conditions. How can you bargain? You have already offended me! If you are so dishonest, I will send a letter to the Allied Forces, Make an agreement with them to capture this Edo Castle together!" Zheng Zhilong said with a straight face.

"Brother, these people don't have the sincerity to negotiate. Why don't we catch them and sink them to Edo Bay to feed the fish? Anyway, we can even take down strong cities like Beijing and Nanjing. At worst, let the military leader send more troops. Come here and raze Edo Castle to the ground!" Zheng Zhihu yelled.

Abe Tadaaki, Sakai Tadakatsu and others all looked bad.Where is the sincerity of not negotiating?The point is, isn't negotiation just bargaining?And the Kyushu Army didn't want to negotiate with them at all, but asked the shogunate to abide by the rules they set!
