After listening to Liu Dahai's explanation, the atmosphere in the conference hall was already very relaxed. Liu Dahai knew that his task was basically completed. When he was thinking about how to make his mouth open, Shimazu Tadashi said, "Let's send the messenger back to the post house to rest first." ”

Liu Dahai knew that they wanted to discuss it themselves, so he gave a salute and left directly. After Liu Dahai left, the important ministers of the Shimazu family immediately began to discuss. After some brief discussion and calculations, most people were inclined to agree to Liu Pei's request. It's just that they still disagree on the ransom and the specifics.

Finally, Shimazu Tadatsune said: "Through the words of Aso and the messenger, we can be sure that the other side is not a group of pirates at all, but a well-trained soldier. As for who exactly they are, we will find out later. The most important thing is that when they faced against Huashan-kun, they obviously gave up some advantages, fought hard-fought with our army, and defeated Huashan-kun head-on. Therefore, there is no doubt about the strength of their combat effectiveness! In the face of such an army, it would be unwise for the laborers to go on an expedition to fight them. And they are interested in compensating us for our losses. So I think I can work with them. Bring people back as soon as possible. ”

The governor made a final decision, and everyone bowed down and said in unison: "Haiyi! ”

And so it was settled. Then Shimazu Tadashi stopped coming forward. His ministers would have a detailed discussion with Liu Dahai. After two days of bargaining, the two sides formally reached a peace agreement.

The content is that the Shimazu family acknowledges Liu Pei's occupation of the Ryukyu Islands. The soldiers and ships captured by the Shimazu family were ransomed with a ransom of 380,000 kan. However, cash is not paid directly. The Shimazu family will pay for it within a year with copper and sulfur of equal value. At the same time, the Shimazu family will become the sole agent of the Japanese country for perfume and other goods. Both sides are free to trade activities. However, due to the existence of the seclusion policy of the Japanese state, trade between the two sides had to be carried out privately. Finally, both sides were to keep the battle in the Ryukyus a secret.

After the agreement was reached, Liu Dahai was really treated as a guest. The Shimazu family not only hosted a banquet for him, but also stuffed two widows into his room at night.

When Liu Dahai was dark for a day, and after he came to his senses, he was about to pick up Aso's family according to Liu Pei's request, when suddenly the servant of the post house reported that someone asked to see him. Liu Dahai went out to see that it was Aso Zhi standing outside the door with his family.

Liu Dahai and Aso Zhi have communicated on the ship for a long time, and they can be regarded as friendship. also knew the purpose of Aso's return, so Liu Dahai was also very happy to see that Asoji was fine. He welcomed Aso's family into the post house. But Aso Zhi asked Liu Dahai with a sad face, can he let their family live on the boat now. Of course, Liu Dahai agreed to this request.

In this way, Liu Dahai's task is completed. After waiting at Shimazu's house for a few days, the Shimazu family filled his ship with copper and sulfur as a deposit, and Liu Dahai said goodbye to the Shimazu family and set out on the return journey.

After listening to Liu Dahai's detailed narration, Liu Pei was very happy. Once he reached a settlement with the Shimazu family, he could calmly spare his energy to move on to the next step, rather than implicating everyone in the Ryukyus. So he said to Liu Dahai: "Well done! 500 taels of silver! In the future, you will be sent to all the work related to foreign affairs! You'll have to do a lot of research on how to communicate with all kinds of people! ”

Liu Dahai himself received a lot of gifts at Shimazu's house, and at this moment he heard Liu Pei say that he would reward him with 500 taels of silver. So I didn't think that I was about to cry when I first went to the Shimazu family, but I felt that it was a promising job, and I agreed with confidence at the moment.

After getting the specific news, Liu Pei met with the envoy sent by the Shimazu family. The name of the messenger is Keihei Mafune. He has a short stature and a shaved bare head. But he speaks very well in Chinese.

The time when the two met happened to be in the evening. After the two politely exchanged words, Liu Pei said that he would set up a banquet to entertain the real ship Jingping. But the real boat Jingping said: "My lord. Eating is a small thing. Could you please arrange for me to take a look at the samurai and soldiers? ”

Liu Pei naturally nodded in agreement. He first led the real boat Jingping to the wounded barracks. Although Liu Pei did not use the current medicine for these Japanese soldiers, the most basic treatment and bandaging were still available. And the vitality of these Japanese people is quite tenacious, and they have all recovered well.

Accompanied by Liu Pei, Zhenchuan Jingping walked around the wounded barracks and asked many Japanese soldiers, and he was very satisfied with the answers. So he went out of the wounded and sick battalion, and bowed to Liu Pei again and again to express his gratitude.

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me too much." In fact, many wounded soldiers who were badly wounded were directly killed by me when they were cleaning up the battlefield. ”

Zhenchuan Jingping sighed and said, "This is also something that can't be helped!" Rather than let them live in pain, it is better to let them become gods sooner! ”

The two men then rushed to the prisoner camp. I went just in time for the captives to eat. Keihei Mafune was very surprised to see that the captives could actually drink broth and eat flatbread! At the beginning, he saw that the wounded soldiers could drink the broth in the wounded barracks, thinking that it was to take care of the wounded. As for the healthy captives, there should be no good life left.

This can't be blamed on the real boat Keihei thinking so. When the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom fought against each other, the captives generally did not end well. Either they were hacked to death, or they were abused and then hacked to death. In addition to the cruel nature of the Japanese people, another reason is that they do not have enough food to eat, and where is there surplus food to feed the captives. So it's better to just cut things up. Judging from the character of the Japanese people sitting in the well and watching the sky, they probably thought that everyone in the world would do this. That's why the real boat Jingping was so surprised.

Out of the camp gate, the real boat Jingping naturally bowed to Liu Pei again and again. He said, "My lord is really a merciful man! The same is true for the enemy's captives. ”

Liu Pei couldn't say anything else at this time, so he had to say: "I didn't want to fight with the Shimazu family. If it weren't for King Shangfeng's promise of half of my country, I wouldn't have come to Ryukyu! So be kind to your people, and it can be regarded as leaving a way for future peace talks. ”

Zhenchuan Jingping suddenly realized: "So that's the case. What a visionary for you! But I saw that they were covered in dirt and tired. What did they go to do all day? ”

Liu Pei can't say that they are cultivating land for me at this time. But Liu Pei has other ideas. "It's a trick to manage captives," he said earnestly. You know, the captives captured in the battle are all young and middle-aged. They had eaten and drunk all day, and if they did nothing in the camp, there would inevitably be fights. Even more serious ones will provoke the guards, and finally cause irreparable consequences. So there's always something to do for them to do, to consume their energy. As long as they can fall asleep when they are tired, the prisoner camp will always be peaceful. ”

True Boat Jingping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again and said, "This is really a good way!" Your Excellency is indeed wise. ”

Then the two of them went back and naturally set up a feast and drink. The next morning, the real ship Keihei woke up. Liu Pei invited him to the military parade. This is the idea that Liu Pei came up with last night. You know, peace never comes with praying, only from fighting. Liu Pei felt that just fighting with the Shimazu family might not be able to deter them, so Liu Pei came up with the idea of a military parade. Liu Pei used this method when he took over the Thousand Households, and the effect was good.

Keihei Mafune didn't care when he first heard about the parade. He thought it would be just a tour of the barracks. But when he saw a group of tall and sturdy soldiers, walking in a neat line in front of him with weapons in hand, the sonorous footsteps frightened him to sweat! The military parade of later generations can best reflect the strength and beauty of the soldiers and show their style! This kind of thing is something that a real ship Jingping can withstand as a turtle!
