Mitsuhisa Shimazu fell into deep thought in his official residence, the bright spring light seemed vibrant, and the morning sun made the house appear bright. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Fuzhi did not follow the Japanese custom and knelt on the tatami mat. Although, in accordance with the past tradition of gentleness and humility, the Chinese have always been willing to show their tolerance.

However, Wang Fuzhi, who remembered that he was the representative of China, insisted on asking for a pair of chairs and talking side by side, with a huge oval table in front of him.

Wang Fuzhi recalled Zhu Cihong's original words in his mind.

"Diplomacy is no small matter. On the other hand, all the activities of diplomats can be a living propaganda model. In the past, we emphasized the importance of following the customs of the locals and respecting each other's traditions and habits. But I have a different opinion. I believe that as a strong civilization, the more important choice is to spread our civilization. Let foreigners think that everything about the Chinese is good, from goods to etiquette, from system to lifestyle. ”

At first, Shimazu Mitsuhisa felt very uncomfortable and a little uncomfortable with this way of talking.

It's just that he soon lost care of these small details.

Whether it is the schedule of the evacuation of the Ryukyus or the accountability of the city, the Kushikino incident is a very difficult issue.

The evacuation of the Japanese on the Ryukyus can be said to be like tearing their own flesh and blood, and the process must be bloody, and the result must be tragic.

Being urged to do such a thing is not half easy in any way.

Of course, this question is a foregone conclusion. The evacuation of the Ryukyus was irreversible, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa gave up resistance, at most thinking about how to use this as capital for the next negotiations, in the hope of reaching better terms in trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike later generations, foreigners did not hesitate to use force in order to open up China's market, waged wars, and signed unequal treaties to open the port, and obtained several industrial and commercial ports. For Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the fact that there are only five treaty ports is undoubtedly a bait thrown by the Mingren, luring the Ming Dynasty to compete for the Mingren.

Such an example is not unheard of, it is a little more insidious, and it can even be associated with an allusion to the sentence "two peaches kill three soldiers".

Not only did the Ming not need to start a war to force the Japanese to trade, but as the lord of the Satsuma Domain, if he knew that he could start a war and obtain a treaty port, he would undoubtedly have the courage to do so. Of course, not in the face of the war of the Ming Dynasty, but in the face of those who competed with him for the treaty port.

"We know very well what the envoy means. There may be some truth or another, but fulfilling the wishes of Edo's friends with the Ming Dynasty is a task that we will definitely achieve. I hope the envoy will understand that Satsuma Domain is a friendly place no matter what. In Shimoshimazu Mitsuhisa, it was a daimyo who was willing to maintain a friendly attitude with Daming. To the question of the envoy, in any case, a respectful answer will be given. Shimazu pondered the words.

Wang Fuzhi smiled lightly and bowed his head, which was also regarded as a kind of encouragement.

"We believe that the Ming Empire is a blessed land of civilization. His ruler, the Ming Emperor, was kind to his people, and it was an existence that I admired even if I was thousands of miles away. It is precisely because of this that it is based on the study of the Ming Emperor. I must pledge, or do my best, to settle the people who have been evacuated from the Ryukyus. Shimazu Mitsuhisa's words were unique, which made Wang Fuzhi feel some meaning.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's answer was very smart, especially pulling out Zhu Cihong to pull the tiger skin, which made Wang Fuzhi a little crying and laughing. But in any case, whether it was a heartfelt response or a courtesy response, Wang Fuzhi had to quickly answer: "His Majesty the Emperor's kindness is known everywhere. ”

As if more encouraged, Mitsuhisa Shimazu continued, "In the Ryukyus, they are people who own land and work. But when I returned to the Satsuma Domain, I had to consider whether they would be reduced to abject poverty as soon as they returned in a turbulent land. If such a thing had happened under the watchful eye of His Majesty the Emperor, I could not bear the guilt of my conscience. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor's mercy is limited to the sons of the Ming Dynasty." Wang Fuyi's pun also implied that Shimazu Mitsu would be enough to pull the tiger skin once, but it would be annoying to repeat it.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa really didn't waste his tongue anymore, and said, "Until I saw hope in the envoy's body." Trade with Daming is not only a great moment for Sino-Japanese relations. In the same way, it is also a real problem for the countless Japanese people who are struggling on the edge of raw silk. They could serve the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and work for trade. There's nothing more pleasing to the eye than living and working in peace. I think all of us can understand that. ”

As for the importance of employment, Shimazu Mitsuhisa also understands it.

His Majesty the Emperor even directly believes that most of the problems in the world can be explained in the final analysis by the word employment, at least partially.

Even, Wang Fuzhi in turn has to praise it. After all, there are still very few enlightened and knowledgeable people in these years. Especially if such a person is still a Japanese daimyo, it is even rarer.

Of course, Wang Fuzhi also understands. These words twisted and turned, but in fact, they still did not say the most critical point.

Sure enough, after taking a deep breath, Shimazu Mitsuhisa said leisurely, "There is no doubt that the Satsuma clan has the idea of fulfilling the wishes of Edo and Ming friends as soon as possible, but we must also consider our responsibilities to our people. If they can get jobs in the new trade and trade, they can make up for the loss of the Ryukyus. I believe that all the people will sigh at the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

It's very beautifully said and official.

At the very least, the purpose and terms of the deal are frankly stated.

"Let the Japanese people feel the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor, I think His Majesty will be very happy when he learns about it." Wang Fuzhi said the scene with an immovable expression, but the amount of information revealed was undoubtedly kind.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was overjoyed, in any case, this shows that Akito has no objection to this exchange of conditions, revealing a great possibility to win their consent, but soon it became more solemn.

There is no doubt that the drama will be coming soon.

Sure enough, Wang Fuzhi said again: "But the first thing His Majesty the Emperor needs to take care of is the people of the Ming Dynasty." There are a lot of Chinese children in Japan. Not only do we believe that those who leave the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time and go everywhere need to be protected, but similarly, those who belong to the descendants of the Chinese sons and daughters can also do justice to the Ming Dynasty. As a diplomatic officer sent by His Majesty the Emperor, it is incumbent upon him to provide protection to his compatriots. Your Excellency Mitsuhisa Shimazu, I think it's time to give an explanation. Even for your people. ”

The last sentence was a bit euphemistic, but Wang Fuzhi believed that Shimazu Mitsuhisa could understand.

Just as Shimazu Mitsuhisa tried to exchange the progress of the evacuation of the Ryukyus for a treaty port, Wang Fuzhi apparently made a fuss about the incident of Kayama Hisamori gathering troops and horses to attack Zheng's Chinatown.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa was not so easy to succumb, especially after feeling Wang Fuzhi's concession on the first condition exchange, he was more confident.

"Please also understand that Japan has always treated the Ming Dynasty with the heart of a teacher. In the face of the criminals who betrayed the mayor, we also have the unquenchable enthusiasm to arrest them. A criminal loot turned into a so-called arrest in the mouth of Mitsuhisa Shimazu, as if a group of police were chasing a fugitive.

Where is Wang Fuzhi so easy to fool: "When His Majesty the Emperor expanded the investigation team of the police station in Beijing, many people in the court ridiculed this as violent politics. However, it is undoubtedly impossible to use less than 2,000 police officers to protect the law and order of one million people. This is the reason why His Majesty the Emperor has carried it out. Even if it only increased by less than 10,000 people, it was slammed. But I never expected that there would be so many police officers in Japan. Perhaps, Daming could send instructors to Japan to be responsible for the training of police officers. You must be very fond of advanced knowledge. ”

A rabble, not a police officer at all. Where is the qualification to enforce the law, let alone the arrest of the people of the Ming Dynasty for trial and conviction!

There is no doubt that judicial sovereignty is at stake.

Facing Wang Fuzhi's hidden needle, the expression on Shimazu Mitsuhisa's face changed slightly, a burst of blue and a burst of red, and he said for a long time: "In any case, the way they left Daming is not appropriate." ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa knew how powerful the man in front of him was, and decided to be honest and good for everyone: "On this issue, I thought it was the same position as Daming. ”

The Japanese wanted to clean up the Zheng family, because what they were plotting was their money. It's just a fat sheep.

However, Da Ming actually wants to clean up the Zheng family. If you want to clean them up, you naturally want to trigger their almost smuggling behavior. Of course, some of them used the name of colonization to go abroad under the guise of such a large-scale migration, but it is not necessary to guess that there are still a large number of people who have left the country illegally without formalities.

Although the two families are a little different in terms of their original intentions, they have the same thing to do anyway. They all have some different paths.

"But understand that they are wise people. How to deal with them, this is a matter for Daming. As a diplomat of the Ming Dynasty, I have to tell the feudal lord frankly that we are very grateful for your assistance, but only for it. Of course, it just so happened that they appeared at such a critical moment. His Majesty the Emperor has given me a special mandate, and you are right, I think it is necessary for us to cooperate on another level. I am sure that not only you, but also your retainers will be very happy. After speaking, Wang Fuzhi took out a program plan.

Above, it is a letter of intent to open a port.

"Those bastards in Edo...... At least some conscience. And Da Ming ...... Your Majesty, what is your purpose? Looking at the kanji on the plan, Shimazu Mitsuhisa exhaled deeply.

Contrary to the practice of later generations, two translations were prepared. Daming is very strong on this issue, and any contract must be signed in Chinese. If you want to prepare a copy in Japanese, no problem. But you have to be prepared that this Japanese version is for promotional purposes only. Because, no matter what the occasion, Daming officials only recognize the validity of the Chinese version.

As for you not being able to read Chinese characters......

That's kind of ridiculous. Not to mention that the Japanese high-level basically know Chinese, even if they can't. In this world dominated by Daming as the core, a major local leader does not know Chinese and is so incompetent, so why is there any need to rely on this position?

Recalling the words on the plan, Shimazu Mitsuhisa hurriedly hurried his retainers and began to arrange.

"Kayama Hisamori, you have been dismissed. As a retainer who initiated an attack on the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, your friendship with your friends is undoubtedly shameful. We must tell you that you are no longer fit to hold a position in the Satsuma Domain. Yamada Yourong's voice was hoarse, and he looked at the man in front of him and slowly opened his mouth.

Everyone threw a mournful expression to Hisamoru Kayama.

Kayama was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to calm. Even, there is some relaxation in my heart. At least, there is no need to apologize for seppuku.

He left Shimazu Mitsuhisa's official residence with a wry smile, pinched the katana in his hand, and felt that the sunlight in the sky was unprecedentedly dazzling: "Is this an explanation for Akito?" ”

Back at his home, Hisamori Kayama saw Yuei Yamada again.

The two of them, one old and one young, were the pillars of the Satsuma Domain. But now, the young man suffered this setback and suddenly lost his future. Yamada Yuei couldn't be worried, and personally came to the house of Kayama Kumori when the sun was setting.

"Yes, the envoy's meaning is very clear. No matter what these Ming people did in Daming, it should be Daming who is the leader. Even, whether they are guilty or not, how should they be triggered, His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is very resolute, and no one can provoke the protection of the Ming Dynasty's people. Yamada Yuei snorted lightly: "The words are very good." But in the end, when it came to the key place, it still showed its head. ”

"Oh?" It seems that he is unofficial and light, and Kayama Jiushou doesn't pay so much attention to this matter.

"Your Majesty the Emperor...... Still interested in arriving in Japan. Wang Fuzhi was eager for his meritorious service, and he really wanted to include these foreign people in the civil register of the empire. Do you understand, why did Zheng Zhilong go to Japan? It's not the taxes that make a fuss. The meaning of the Ming is very clear, global taxation. Wang Fuzhi wants to mobilize people and re-register the Chinese in Japan...... Since then, he has become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty in the legal sense, serving the Ming Dynasty, and the most critical ...... Ratepaying. ”

"A fat sheep, no...... A flock of fat sheep that everyone wants to eat. "Hisamori Kayama understands very well the mind of the person who appointed this plan. To put it bluntly, make money.

It's just that the Japanese are making up for the shortfall. And Da Ming is cuddling the grass and beating the rabbit and cleaning it up together.

And the main ...... At the end of the day, it's money.

It's just that the Japanese eat very ugly, and they use grabbing.

And the way of the Ming is much more civilized, register your name civilly, we provide protection, and you are responsible for paying taxes and serving.
