One hundred and ninety-five Xiao Ruxun's terms of peace
"If we directly represent Japan and contact the Ming State, and use Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head as a condition for making peace with the Ming army, can we make the Ming army retreat and no longer continue to fight with Japan?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu's sudden thought shocked Kuroda Rusui, I have to say, he didn't think about this method, his heart was confused, he couldn't continue to think calmly, when the two sides were at war, there was a third variable, and this third variable was enough to destroy the warring parties, Kuroda Rusui found that things were beyond his control. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even if he has the ability to deal with it, he doesn't like things that are beyond his control, which is too dissatisfying for him, but now, this dissatisfaction has become fear.
Faced with the fear of the behemoth that he couldn't deal with, at this moment, Kuroda Rusui understood why their ancestors were so grateful for those two sudden kamikazes.
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Korea with 150,000 men, causing great losses to Ming and Korea, if we just hand over Hideyoshi's head, the Ming side may not agree, they are the victors, they will definitely make other demands, and at that time, we may face a very embarrassing situation."
Kuroda Rushui is a rare famous military division in the end, even if he is flustered, he still does not lose his true character as a military division.
"Then what kind of request does Mr. Kan Guowei think the Ming side will make? You don't want us to attach ourselves to the country, right? ”
Kuroda Rushui shook his head: "That's impossible, Ming Guo won't do that, but I'm afraid that the land compensation is indispensable, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did too much before, Ming Guo's anger is too great, if you don't hand over something, they won't be satisfied, we will only lose more." ”
"Indemnity for land cession?" Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned, his face full of worry: "Is the compensation for land cession too much?" Japan is not big in the first place, but the land of Ming is so big, do you still need Japanese land? As for the compensation, it's not unacceptable, but it must be within the range of what we can afford, right? ”
"I don't dare to guarantee this, no one knows how the Ming side thinks about it, but it should be necessary to contact the Ming country privately, clarify our position, and express our unwillingness to go to war with the Ming country, so your Excellency can send someone to contact the Ming side, the sooner the better, we must also be prepared here to strike at the Toyotomi clan at any time."
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded.
Seeing that night was about to fall, Chen Lan took the sailor under the guidance of Xuansu and moved to a small island in Japan, where there was a small harbor, barely enough for the sailor fleet to anchor and rest overnight.
Today's results are not bad, and they have stimulated the Japanese side fiercely, I don't know if they will have a civil war like Xiao Ruxun's guess next, so that the Ming fisherman will benefit.
Speaking of which, Chen Lan was still a little skeptical in his heart, could just an attack by a fleet of more than 10,000 people make a country submit?
After eating the dinner brought by the soldiers, Chen Lan observed the Japanese map in his cabin and thought about tactical tactics, and after a while, the voice of the guards sounded outside the cabin.
"General Chen, there is an urgent letter from Admiral Xiao."
"Admiral Xiao urgent?"
Chen Lan walked quickly to the door and opened the cabin door, and saw a guard holding a letter in his hand, Chen Lan took the letter, turned around and returned to the cabin, and then looked at the lights, and sure enough, it was Xiao Ruxun's own handwriting, which said "Chen Zongbing personally opened".
It's so late, what does Xiao Ruxun mean when he sends an urgent letter?
Chen Lan opened the letter with a stomach full of doubts, and when he saw it, he was stunned.
Xiao Ruxun's letter was not a routine greeting, but a letter of instruction telling Chen Lan how to negotiate with the representatives of the Japanese side, which listed in detail the terms and conditions that Chen Lu needed to make to the Japanese side.
To the emperor, not allowed to be called the emperor, can only be called the king of Japan, and the king of Japan needs to ask the Ming Emperor to be recognized, Japan needs to pay tribute every year, every year to the dynasty, Japan officially became the Ming protectorate.
Ceded Tsushima Island, Oki Island, Sado Island, and Hizen Iwami as Ming territory.
Open Tango Miyazu County, Wakasa Province Kohama County and Echizen Province Tsuruga County as a treaty port, Ming goods through these three into Japan do not need to pay customs duties, the three places each set up the Ming concession, sovereignty belongs to Japan, the right to manage the Ming Dynasty, regarded as the Ming land, the Ming can garrison, the Japanese official personnel are not allowed to enter without permission, the concession set up the Ming consulate, the Ming officials are responsible for collecting commercial taxes.
The Japanese capital Kyoto City has a Ming Consular Headquarters, and the Ming Consul General Ambassador is responsible for managing all the affairs of the Ming people in Japan, and the Japanese side does not have the power to manage the Ming people, and if the Ming people break the law in Japan, they also need to be transferred to the Ming Consulate for processing, and the Japanese side is not allowed to deal with it privately.
Compensate the Ming State for its military expenses of 5 million taels of silver and the Korean State for its losses of 500,000 taels of silver.
The Japanese royal family sent protons into Korea.
These clauses stunned Chen Luan, who was not familiar with the specific situation of Japan, and Chen Luan didn't understand any of the unfamiliar place names and nouns, but fortunately, Xiao Ruxun also wrote notes and precautions on another piece of letterhead, and after reading these, Chen Luan knew what Xiao Ruxun's idea was.
Japan is rich in gold and silver, this is what the Ming Dynasty urgently needs, His Majesty the Emperor named the things to want, and as far as Xiao Ruxun currently knows, Iwami has a silver mountain, Sado Island has a gold mountain, the output is very large, the Ming is bound to win, in addition to these inevitable things, the rest of the terms are negotiable, the reason why we open our mouths is to leave the Japanese side room for bargaining, so that they do not completely die of peace talks.
In addition, Xiao Ruxun also pointed out that Sado Island and Tsushima Island and another Oki Island, Japan will not be too entangled, and even the cession of Hizen Country has been discussed, but the cession of Iwami Country, the Japanese will definitely bite the bullet and not agree, because the mining volume of Iwami Silver Mountain is too large, the highest annual output of one million taels of silver, the Japanese cannot hand over the entire Iwami to the Ming Dynasty, so what we want to strive for is the amount of silver, at least to ensure that more than fifty percent of the annual output belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
The other three treaty ports must be guaranteed at least one, of course, the Japanese do not mention it, we should not back down, it is best to take all three, the tariff issue must be bitten to death, never let go, do not give the Japanese a penny of tariffs, all taxes must be handed over to the Ming Dynasty, the consulate and the military of officials stationed in Japan must also bite to death and cannot be discussed.
The war reparations silver can make Japan bargain, but to keep the bottom line of 3 million can not back down, if it is less than 3 million, start a war, increase to 10 million, see if he agrees.
To sum up, what the Ming Dynasty had to get was 50% of the output of Tsushima Island, Sado Island, and Iwami Silver Mountain, a treaty port and concession, customs duties and garrison rights, consular jurisdiction, war compensation of 3 million silver, and Japan's emperor.
