Chapter 201 The battle between the admiral and the military division
Kuroda Rushui, if I remember correctly, should be Zhuge Liang of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kuroda Guanbingwei, who is known as a rare and famous military adviser, and the counselor who helped Toyotomi Hideyoshi establish his hegemony all the way. Omi Hideyoshi is divorced from Germany, otherwise the Toyotomi family would not have fallen so quickly, but he is now a substitute for Tokugawa Ieyasu, that is to say, Kuroda Rushui took refuge in Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Xiao Ruxun felt a little strange, but come to think of it, this was also some incidental reaction caused by her appearance, right?I remember that in the original history, Kuroda Rushui had the ambition to dominate the world, but in the face of Tokugawa Ieyasu's overwhelming strength, he still chose to give up fighting for hegemony, and died in the mountains and forests, regardless of world affairs.

Now, the negotiating opponent is him, this guy is definitely not easy to fool.

"Mr. Kuroda knows about Daming's seven requirements before, right?"

Kuroda Rushui nodded: "Of course."

"Articles [-], [-], and [-], regarding the opening of ports for trade, Your Excellency Tokugawa has already agreed, right?"

Kuroda Rushui still nodded: "Of course."

"Okay, there is nothing to discuss in these places, so next, this one, Japan goes to the imperial title. This request is related to the majesty of my Ming Dynasty. Why don't Your Excellency Tokugawa and Mr. Kuroda agree?"

When it comes to the key point, Kuroda Rushui is no longer restrained, but gradually reveals his edge: "Admiral Xiao, don't you think this is a bit too insulting to Japan? Japan is not North Korea, and Ming Dynasty There is no relationship of affiliation, has always been independent, and is on an equal footing with Ming Dynasty, has never been a vassal, and has never been defeated by Ming Dynasty, this is one of them.

Second, the initiator of this war is Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He insisted on going his own way regardless of the opposition of the majority and forcibly started the war. There are also a large number of opponents in our country. Myself and Your Excellency Tokugawa are both staunch opponents, so they propose to overthrow Toyotomi thought of cooperating with Daming, but Admiral Xiao turned a blind eye to our sincerity, and instead let our country surrender its status and become a vassal. Will Daming act so domineeringly when he ascends to the throne tomorrow? "

Xiao Ruxun nodded, but was not as angry as Kuroda Rushui expected.

"Da Ming did not have a vassal relationship with Japan. The Governor admits this, but even if it becomes a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that it will become a vassal state after being defeated by the Ming Dynasty. You are like North Korea. When did the Ming Dynasty send troops to crusade? North Korea? North Korea is also the most loyal vassal of Ming Dynasty and has always been protected by Ming Dynasty.

Mr. Kuroda, let's put aside Toyotomi Hideyoshi and talk about Japan alone. Wouldn't it be a good thing for Japan to make Japan a vassal of Ming Dynasty?Wouldn't it be a good thing for Japan to be protected by Ming Dynasty, to do business with Ming Dynasty, to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty, to receive imperial seal from Ming Dynasty, to be recognized by Ming Dynasty, and to have normal contacts with Ming Dynasty? "

Kuroda Rushui smiled, and said: "It is precisely in consideration of this that Your Excellency Tokugawa agreed to the three trade agreements, and because Daming is the kingdom of heaven, he agreed to let Daming manage the merchants of Daming in our country by himself, and even It is Japan's greatest sincerity to lease land to Daming, but our country is isolated overseas, and has never been invaded by foreign enemies, and it is not necessary to ask Daming to send troops to protect it. Therefore, it is unnecessary to become a vassal state. Our two countries Wouldn’t it be nice to have peaceful exchanges and normal communication?”

Xiao Ruxun was not angry either, and said: "It's human nature to think like this. Some countries proclaim themselves emperors to Ming, but they proclaim themselves emperors internally. This also exists, and Da Ming doesn't really care about it, but your title of emperor in Japan really makes you feel uncomfortable. Daming is very dissatisfied. The emperor of Ming Dynasty is called Tianhuang, the son of heaven, and is ordered by heaven, while the emperor of your country is named Tianhuang, the emperor of heaven. In our country, only one of the three emperors in ancient times can be called the emperor. You have lived like this, but Do you not know where to put my son of heaven?"

Although Xiao Ruxun's tone was light, the threatening meaning in the words was very strong. Kuroda Rushui knew very well that any factor could become an excuse for Ming to go to war against Japan, so he couldn't be careless.

"Daming and Japan are two countries with different customs, different titles, and different understandings of each other. It may be a very critical topic in Ming Dynasty, but it is very common and normal in Japan. It doesn't matter. Regardless of Ming Dynasty The son, or the emperor of Japan, is actually the emperor of a country, and it is no different from my people. Why does the admiral have to insist on the title so much?
What's more, the title of the emperor of our country has existed 2000 years ago, and it has never been changed for a thousand years. If the title of the emperor is suddenly changed, it may cause turmoil in the whole of Japan. If this is the case, the Japanese people may not agree. If something goes wrong, what should I do if I call His Excellency Tokugawa?
Admiral, Your Excellency Tokugawa is going to replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the Japanese shogun in charge of power. The first thing is to stabilize the rule. If people's hearts are fluctuating and the royal family is dissatisfied, how can Your Excellency Tokugawa replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi and take charge of Japan and the Ming Dynasty? okay?Admiral please think twice before acting! "

What Kuroda Rushui said was so sincere that Xiao Ruxun couldn't find any good reason to refute it. Of course, Xiao Ruxun didn't want to refute it either.

"You and I have different opinions on this issue, let's ignore it for the time being! Regarding the request of the Japanese imperial family to send a proton to the North Korean government to reassure North Korea, the Governor believes that it is really necessary."

Xiao Ruxun chose another topic to start, which left Kuroda Rushui with the influence of poor reasoning, which made Kuroda Rushui confident in the success of the negotiation, and said: "The admiral thinks this is necessary, but I think it is unnecessary. The reason for saying this is that the Emperor is not the real emperor, and compared with the Ming emperor, he has no right to speak in state affairs, even if the imperial family sends a proton, neither Toyotomi Hideyoshi nor His Excellency Tokugawa has any binding force."

Xiao Ruxun pretended to be taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Then Ieyasu Tokugawa will send a proton instead!"

"Admiral Xiao! What's wrong with Your Excellency Tokugawa? You need to send a proton? Since His Excellency Tokugawa is willing to cooperate with Ming Dynasty in beheading Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it is not only due to Ming Dynasty, but also to North Korea. Those who have meritorious service will be fine if they don't reward them. Want a proton, isn't the admiral not afraid of chilling the hearts of those who have made merit?"

Xiao Ruxun put on a very embarrassed look again and looked at Kuroda Rushui.

"If you want to say that you have merit, you are responsible for me, Da Ming. Well, as long as you agree to another thing, I can be the master of these two, and I won't pursue it."

Kuroda Rushui smiled and said, "Say it."

"We don't need Shi Jianguo, but all the silver produced by Shi Jian Yinshan must belong to Daming."

The smile on Kuroda Rushui's face disappeared instantly.
