Zhu Yijun looked at the young man with a long body, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked slightly surprised.

"You say, 'You're coming?' So fast? ā€

"Back to my father, the country has indeed signed on the letter of state, and the son of the minister has not disgraced his mission, and he has come to reply with the letter of state!"

Zhu Changluo had a flat face, took out a national letter from his wide sleeved robe, and held it high above his head.

Xiao Nei, who was standing next to him, made the emperor's eyes, and hurriedly walked down to His Majesty Dan and sent the letter of state to the imperial case.

Zhu Yijun glanced at the national letter suspiciously, and saw that the place where the payment was made was indeed stamped with the seal of the Japanese State, and the name of Toyotomi Hideyori, the right minister of the Japanese State, was written on it, followed by the signatures of the five elders, including Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"This letter of state seems to be different from what Shi Xing presented to me before?"

After a rough glance, Zhu Yijun's eyes flashed with a strange light, and said.

"Yes, father, the Wa State has a lot of objections to the original peace negotiation treaty, so the retainer redrafted seven treaties in order to satisfy both sides, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general who presided over the peace talks, was very satisfied with this treaty, so it was signed without too much discussion!"

"Oh? He's satisfied? ā€

Zhu Yijun read the terms on the entire national book roughly, but he said with a strange face.

"You're a good trick!"

No matter whether Tokugawa Ieyasu is dissatisfied or not, Zhu Yijun is very satisfied anyway!

Shi Xing's original treaty had been personally reviewed by him after several scrutiny, and as a victorious country, Zhu Yijun felt that what he wanted was very reasonable.

But now that he saw the treaty drawn up by his son, he really understood what it meant to be reasonable between the victorious and the defeated!

There are a total of seven provisions in this contract, and Zhu Yijun, who reads all of them, is shocked.

First, the Wa State is a country of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wa King is canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and he cannot rebel forever, let alone trespass, and professes himself as the emperor.

Second, the Ming Dynasty was friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and it was necessary to open up trade and allow Ming merchants to trade freely within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Third, the Ming Dynasty needs to compensate the Ming Dynasty with a total of 2 million taels of gold, a total of 10 million taels of silver, and a total of 7 million catties of brass.

Fourth, the Wa State is both a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, when the same as the foreign enemy, for many years, the Ming coastal area by the Ming invaders, the Wa State must bind the people, not to invade the Ming Sea Frontier, where the Ming Dynasty declared the people of the Wako, the Wa State is forbidden to accommodate their families, heirs, relatives.

Fifth, Toyotomi Hideyoshi rebelled and disobeyed the emperor's orders, and the army he led burned and plundered in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and did all kinds of evil, and served three years of conscription in the Ming Dynasty to atone for his sins.

Sixth, since the Ming Dynasty is the suzerain's country, since it should protect the vassal country, the Japanese army is empty, and there are fears that foreign countries will take advantage of the weakness, and the Ming Emperor will send a reserve Japanese army into the Japanese country from now on to maintain domestic stability.

Seventh, the general of the reserve army was appointed by the Ming Emperor and was of the same rank as the left minister of the Wa State, but was not bound by the Wa king.

Zhu Yijun never thought that the treaty could be written like this!

These seven treaties stipulate that, except for the first article, each of them is a treaty that a country must not accept in Zhu Yijun's view, but those who are as visionary as Zhu Yijun will not see how much this treaty will help the Ming Dynasty!

The first two are okay, starting from the third one, almost every one of them is putting the Japanese country to death and putting the armies of other countries in their own country, which is tantamount to putting their own net worth and life into the hands of others.

Once this treaty is signed, it is almost certain that there will be no room for the Japanese state to turn over.

It's just that......

"Was this treaty really signed by Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

Until now, Zhu Yijun still doesn't believe that this kind of treaty that loses power and humiliates the country will be signed? You must know that as soon as this treaty is signed, the Wa Kingdom will be completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu, Zhu Yijun said when he heard Shi Xing's report before, this person is very strategic and very difficult to deal with.

But in Zhu Changluo's hands, it only took three days to sign such a treaty, which really made Zhu Yijun feel a little unreal.

"Father rest assured, there are means to deal with the gentleman, and there are naturally means to deal with the villain, and now the king of the Japanese country is weak, and the power is transferred to the bottom, and there is no strength to command the heroes, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was alive, although he was the minister of the Taizheng Dynasty, but he was in charge of the power of the lord of the country, and now Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, and his son Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not the age of the young chong, and the five ministers were ready to move, and wanted to replace him, but the son promised Tokugawa Ieyasu that after the Japanese army was stationed, he would help him obtain the post of the minister of Taizheng, and he signed this treaty with peace of mind!"

Zhu Changluo smiled slightly and said.

Smart people have the advantages of smart people, and there are also disadvantages of smart people, the advantage is to know the current affairs, and the disadvantage is also to know the current affairs, on the one hand, the fate hangs by a thread, to preserve the so-called glory of the Toyotomi family, and on the other hand, there is a high-ranking official, and everyone envies one person.

In fact, it is not difficult to choose, the reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu was so anxious to recall the tens of thousands of troops detained by the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than because of the turbulent domestic situation in the Japanese State, the lack of troops in his hands, and the fact that he was not sure to suppress the other four ministers.

Since this is the case, Zhu Changluo helped him and sent him a batch of well-equipped Ming troops to help him ascend to the throne, as for what to do after he ascended to the throne......

Tokugawa Ieyasu understood, but he didn't care, or rather, people were under the roof, and he was no longer qualified to care!

"I see!"

A knowing smile flashed in Zhu Yijun's eyes, he knew that the means used by Zhu Changluo were not as simple as he said, but for him, it didn't matter what kind of means he used, the important thing was that the national letter in his hand would bring infinite benefits to Daming!

That's enough!

But......

"The prince's letter of state is very well drafted, and my son is really talented! But ......"

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun's face was a little red, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"But this letter of state is in the courtier's office, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass! What's more, the weapons, ships, and food needed for the Japanese army to cross the oceans are all large sums of money, so where should this money come from? ā€

In Zhu Yijun's opinion, this letter of state is naturally very good, but with Zhu Yijun's understanding of courtiers, it is not easy to let them pass this letter of state.

Without him, this is really against the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, just like a thief who does all kinds of evil, completely contrary to the gentleness and arching way of life of the scholar.

What's more, to send a reserve army, it means that the military spending of the Ming Dynasty needs to continue to increase, and the civil servants in the court are staring at the military spending every day......
