If there are really people under the Red Eye Dragon King who are willing to gamble on the wealth of the world and make a decisive choice, or if the Red Eye Dragon King is moved, then the Tokugawa family may really suffer heavy losses!

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Iemitsu said decisively: "Abe-kun, you go back now and reach an agreement with them as soon as possible!" It doesn't matter if you lose some money, as long as the Tokugawa family is still in control of the shogunate, they will be able to get it back sooner or later! ”

Abe Zhongqiu hesitated and said, "But ......"

Tokugawa Iemitsu waved his hand and said, "Father, I'll explain!" ”

When Abe Mid-Autumn heard this, he immediately leaned over and said, "Hayi, I understand!" I will try my best to recover the losses for my family! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded tiredly and said, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! ”

When Abe Mid-Autumn Festival arrived at the seaside camp again, did Liu Pei meet him, only Liu Dahai was waiting for him. However, Abe Tadaaki did not care, and immediately started negotiations with Liu Dahai.

This negotiation is like deboning and cutting flesh for Abe Tadaaki! He did make huge concessions! After a day and a night of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a final agreement. Historically known as the "Edo Agreement"!

The first point of content: Nagasaki will continue to be open to trade. The Red Eye Dragon King established the General Trade Center in Nagasaki. Chinese merchants were protected in the Wa Kingdom. If the crime is committed, it must be handed over to the Red-Eyed Dragon King. The Japanese shall not be judged.

The second point is to compensate the Red Eye Dragon King for his military expenses of 3.8 million taels of silver, which will be paid off within three years. In the first year, he paid 100 taels of silver, and in the second year, he could use other materials to discount the market price.

The third point was that the Wa Kingdom gave up the development of Hokkaido and handed it over to the Red Eye Dragon King.

Fourthly, the Red-Eyed Dragon King assumed the Dutch share of the trade and was responsible for preventing the Dutch from entering the Wa kingdom and proselytizing.

Fifth, the red-eyed dragon king gave up his claim to Iwami Ginzan, but the Wa Kingdom had to provide 30,000 catties of sulfur free of charge every year.

Sixth, the Red-Eyed Dragon King could rent the prisoners of the Wa Kingdom for 5 taels of silver per person per year until they were released at the end of their sentences. If a prisoner dies, the compensation is 10 taels of silver. The Red-Eyed Dragon King can recruit outcasts and wandering warriors in the Wa Kingdom without restrictions.

Seventh, the red-eyed dragon king is not allowed to deal with anyone other than the Tokugawa family

Occurrence of non-commercial contacts.

Eighth, in the next three years, the Red-Eyed Dragon King will help the Tokugawa family not be attacked by any sea.

At the ninth point, on the day when the red-eyed dragon king received the first batch of 500,000 taels of silver, he must leave all the captured Japanese soldiers and people behind, and must not be delayed. Except for those who voluntarily follow the dragon king to leave.

After the signing of the agreement, Abe Tadaaki's side is like a mourner! And Liu Dahai's side is happy! Abe Zhongqiu suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and said very calmly: "Mr. Liu, now the agreement has been signed. Don't know when you plan to fulfill your agreement? ”

Liu Dahai looked at the agreement in his hand with satisfaction and said casually: "Mr. Abe, as long as 500,000 taels of silver arrive, we will pull the anchor and set sail immediately!" ”

Abe Mid-Autumn nodded and said, "Okay." In that case, I will immediately go back and report to the general to raise silver taels as soon as possible. In addition, please tell His Excellency the Red-Eyed Dragon King, please remember to speak his mind! ”

Liu Dahai finally took his eyes off the agreement, raised his head and said, "Don't worry, our big boss has always been a good man!" Otherwise, how could so many of us be willing to follow him? ”

Abe Chukatsu nodded and said, "That's great! Then I'll take my leave! ”

After speaking, he ignored Liu Dahai and returned to Edo Castle directly with the servants. Entering Edo Castle, Abe's tears fell from the mid-autumn season! He signed such a humiliating agreement, but I don't know what the history books will say about him?

Abe Nakatsu asked to see Tokugawa Iemitsu and was immediately received. When he saw Tokugawa Iemitsu, he found that Tokugawa Iemitsu seemed to be 10 years older!

Abe Chukaku immediately bowed to the ground and said, "The general has been humiliated, it's really the fault of my subordinates!" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said slowly, "Get up, it's not your fault. This is caused by the uneven strength of the two sides! Didn't we humiliate other daimyo with our strength back then! Now that the agreement has been signed, show it to me. ”

Abu Mid-Autumn did not look up. Pull out the agreement directly from your bosom. Tokugawa Iemitsu took it and read the agreement, sighed and said, "Since the agreement has been signed, let's fulfill it!" I'll hurry up and raise the silver taels. ”

Abe

Qiu said: "It's a shame to sign such an agreement! Please allow me to seppuku, Shogun! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu shouted, "Seppuku? What belly to cut? If you really want to seppuku, then wait until you defeat this red-eyed dragon king in the future! Now all you need is to cheer up! ”

Abe Chukashi gritted his teeth and said, "I understand!" I will make an effort under the next by all means! ”

On the morning of the fourth day, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival led people to transport 500,000 taels of silver to the seaside camp. This is thanks to the fact that the Tokugawa family has been in the country for three generations, so that the Japanese country has lived a peaceful life for decades! Otherwise, if the Tokugawa family and the shogunate wanted to accumulate 500,000 taels of silver, it would really be like a fool's dream! But the 500,000 taels of silver also wiped out the inventory of the shogunate and the Tokugawa family. Tokugawa Iemitsu also had to borrow a lot of silver from the merchant group.

After Liu Pei sent someone to count the silver, he left a receipt and left the prisoners on the ground, and directly boarded the ship and set sail. The huge fleet of ships sailed straight to the Ryukyu Islands like a long dragon at sea. The soldiers will rest there for 10 days before returning to their respective stations.

As for Liu Pei, he rushed to Taiwan directly with the silver. Liu Pei came to Taiwan, and Fang Degang had already led people to wait at the dock. As soon as Liu Pei got off the boat, Fang Degang hurried over and said eagerly: "Dashuai, Dashuai, quickly move the silver down for me to see!" I haven't seen what 500,000 taels of silver looks like when I'm so big! Especially the silver that was stolen must be more energetic to spend! ”

Of course, Liu Pei knew that Fang Degang was joking. Haha laughed and said, "It's all on the boat, and I'll move it down immediately." ”

Fang Degang said with emotion: "It's still handsome and has a way!" To be honest, I've never heard of anyone who can earn money back from a war? I only heard that the more you fight, the more you lose! ”

Liu Pei said: "Why not? During the Spring and Autumn Period, didn't any country that won the war always ask the other party to pay compensation and cede land? It's just that later those sour Confucians tampered with Confucius's meaning, and turned the profit-making thing of fighting a war into a loss-making thing! ”

Fang Degang was also familiar with history books, and when he heard it, he nodded and said, "Indeed!" In the Spring and Autumn Period, if you lose the war, you really want to cede the city. But then again, since the war can be fought to this point, then there must be more battles in the future! ”
