Chapter 499: Shen Weijing's Envoy (Ask for Subscription)
"I intend to appoint you as a 'peace envoy' to Seoul and negotiate peace with the Japanese." Looking at the man in front of him, Mo Xiaobai said: "You should also know the reason why Lord Shi asked you to go with the army, and you shouldn't retreat." ”
Ministers of peace?
Shen Weijing's eyes flashed slightly, a little unexpected but quickly recovered.
He knows better than anyone what he is.
It is impossible to fight, and there is no play in being an official, but only the ability to speak and observe words and emotions can barely be called a must.
Let yourself negotiate peace, that is, you want to fool the Japanese people?
"I don't know what the adults want?"
"Hehe~ The brain is spinning fast. It's true that you want to negotiate peace, and the conditions are very simple, as long as the Japanese people go back to their hometown for me now, and then give up Tsushima Island, I won't pursue the matter of them leading the troops to commit crimes. ”
Mo Xiaobai rubbed his wrists, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "You talk according to this bargaining chip, it is best if the Japanese people can agree, if you don't agree, they won't dare to do anything to you." ”
Withdraw troops, but also give up Tsushima?
Shen Weijing is not one of those gangsters who has never been out of the Central Plains Realm in his life, he has opened his eyes, and when he heard Mo Xiaobai's 'conditions', he was suddenly shocked in his heart.
This admiral has such a big breath, how can the Japanese people agree?
If it was for this condition, Shen Weijing believed that even if he said it, he would not be able to gain anything.
But he just pondered it in his head, and soon came back to his senses.
What even a little person like himself knows, the Admiral doesn't know?
Since it is an impossible condition, and he has to go to Seoul by himself, the real intention of the admiral is definitely not to really want the Japanese to withdraw their troops.
"The villain understands that he should do his best to maneuver, and if he does not achieve his goal, he will not return Pyongyang."
"Hmm." Hearing Shen Weijing's answer, Mo Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction.
Circumstance, to use another word, is 'procrastination'.
This old guy has a good brain.
After determining the main person in charge of the meeting, Mo Xiaobai had to equip him with a complete set of 'outfits'. In view of the fact that this thing has the 'guts' to dare to pit the emperor and the official, it is impossible for Mo Xiaobai to let him go alone, and he must send his subordinates to 'supervise'.
The candidate has also been arranged for a long time, that is, Liu Ye.
A day later, a 300-man army dressed in the uniform of the Peace Mission, led by He Chun and Liu Ye, followed Shen Weijing from the south gate of Pyongyang to Seoul, which was still occupied by the Japanese.
In order to keep a low profile, He Chun and Liu Ye are both ordinary colonels and strategists, but Shen Weijing is brightly dressed and has the style of a court minister.
Cross the Taedong River and enter Hwanghae-do, then enter Kaesong, and at the same time submit the credentials to Seoul to the south.
However, after three or five days of travel, Shen Weijing swaggered to the city of Seoul.
Outside the north city gate, the Sixth Army of the Sixth Army, who was responsible for receiving the Ming Dynasty's peace envoys, was a bad old man in his sixties.
'Bad old man' was Shen Weijing's first impression when he saw him, but in fact, Kobayakawa Takakei's status in the Japanese Kingdom was not low, and when he saw that the Ming envoy had arrived, he immediately stepped forward to greet him:
"Presumably, Your Excellency is Lord Shen."
"I'm Shen Weijing, are you?"
"The old and decrepit little Hayakawa Takajing, the acting general will go out of the city to welcome Your Excellency into the city."
"Hmm."
Different from the restraint and humility when he met Mo Xiaobai, Shen Weijing was arrogant at the moment: "Lead the way, take me and the mission into the city to live first, and I will visit your general tomorrow." ”
"Please." Kobayakawa Takashi glanced at the sky that had just passed noon, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Seeing that this old man was interested, Shen Weijing said twice, shook the robe on his body and immediately strode into Seoul.
As a person who has been in businessmen, fang markets, and places of the three religions and nine streams all the year round, observing words and colors is a necessary skill, plus he has a little bit of thinking about judging the situation, of course, he understands that no matter how he pretends now, the Japanese people have to endure it.
Just because, Konishi Yukinaga's department was completely wiped out in Pyongyang!
These Japanese daimyo were intrigued with each other all day long, and they would not be saddened by the death of Konishi Yukicho, they would only be shocked by the powerful soldiers of the Celestial Empire.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Shen Weijing led the order south.
Entering Seoul along the streets of the city gate, Shen Weijing was soon welcomed into a well-prepared pavilion. There was no tale or war in it, and even the maids were specially selected young Korean women.
"Comfortable!"
The stove in the house had already been prepared, and as soon as Shen Weijing took off his robe stained with snowflakes and sat down on the big chair, he couldn't help but admire.
"Lord Shen is still satisfied with this residence?"
"It's okay to make a living, just be comfortable."
Anyway, bragging is not guilty, of course Shen Weijing said how cool: "Get some good food and drink to entertain my mission, you have to understand that I came to the peace talks with sincerity." ”
"This is a must, and you must rest assured."
"Okay, you go down, I'll rest for a while, and we'll talk about business tomorrow morning."
As if driving away his servants, Xiao Hayakawa was blown away, Shen Weijing rubbed his hands and immediately poured three cups of hot tea: "Two adults, please." ”
He Chun and Liu Ye watched him perform the whole time, and after nodding at each other at the moment, they also took teacups.
"If I don't have direct peace talks today, it's not that I'm hiding from work. First, we just arrived, and we didn't show too much enthusiasm; Second, I don't know anything about the situation in the city, and it is a bit disadvantageous to negotiate rashly. ”
Shen Weijing could give the widow a look, but he didn't dare to take a stand against Mo Xiaobai's subordinates, and explained: "In order for the peace talks to go smoothly tomorrow, I still need some support from the two adults." ”
"Before leaving, the lord is in charge, and you are in charge of the peace talks, and you say, we will handle it." Of course, Liu Ye understood these truths and immediately answered.
"Okay, I'm not welcome, I'm here to put it bluntly, so I want to know how many Japanese soldiers and horses there are in the city, and it's best to find out their food situation."
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Liu Ye did not shirk this, he understood the meaning of the lord sending him. It is not only 'supervision', but also can spy on military intelligence.
There are some things that Shen Weijing doesn't say, he also wants to do.
"What about me?" After listening to the conversation between Shen and Liu, He Chun immediately asked.
Shen Weijing thought for a while and asked, "My lord, maybe you are drinking?" ”
"Husband, how can anyone not touch wine and meat?"
He Chun's eyes were straight and he quickly replied, but when Shen Weijing said the next sentence, his whole face darkened.
That night, the Ming Dynasty and the fellow guerrilla generals of the mission were so drunk that they sang songs.
It wasn't until the sun rose on the second day that Shen Weijing was about to go to see Ukita Xiu's house, that he walked out of the house with a drunken appearance.
This matter spread ten, ten, hundreds, and it didn't take an hour for the whole city to know.
Some of the major names of the Wa Kingdom who got the news breathed a sigh of relief, some showed disdain, and more of them changed their smiles.
The Ming Dynasty sent such a peace mission, which seems to be satisfied and has no enterprising spirit.
