Sending Li Rusong and Nurhachi away, Mo Xiaobai quickly found Guo Jia.

Telling the scene that happened just now, Guo Jia laughed: "Congratulations to the lord, you successfully won the last link of Seoul, and today it is finally completed." ”

"Aren't all your ideas?"

"Jia doesn't dare to take credit."

Guo Jia said a little modestly, and then said seriously: "Since the Daming Naval Division joined the battlefield, the waters from Busan to Tsushima are finally no longer controlled by the Japanese. Coupled with the chaotic situation in the mountainous areas of southern Korea, the Japanese no longer have a sufficiently secure supply and transportation line. ”

"Seoul was left alone due to poor transportation, and Jia Dare asserted that as soon as the snow season in February passed, the war at sea deteriorated again, and the Japanese people would not be able to sit still, so they had to withdraw their troops to the south."

Cut off supplies and force the Japanese army to retreat.

The train of thought was very emotional, but Mo Xiaobai still asked: "What if the Japanese have the courage to break the kettle?" ”

"Then Pyongyang will still be the main battlefield."

Guo Jia answered directly without hesitation, but the next moment he smiled and said: "But a few days ago, the lord said that some of the internal situation of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa people are not like the Han and Ming dynasties, there is an emperor and a subordinate dialogue, and the rest of the generals are also the names of each feudal country, which seems to be relatively similar to the division of the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

"It is not easy for the whole country to be united in such a system, and as the lord said, there are people in the Ukita clan represented by the Ukita Hideya family who have different opinions from the war. The Ukita Hideya family is out on the road, and they are responsible for all logistics and supplies, and among the subordinates of Anchi Ukita, there is no such group of people? ”

"If the war goes well, they may not get in the way, but if the war goes badly and there is a danger of annihilation, it must be this group of people who will retreat first. There is such a group of people in the Japanese army, how can they talk about being united and ruined? ”

It takes not only courage but also determination.

I can't make up my mind, and I even resented being shouted and sold by Toyotomi Hideyoshi from the bottom of my heart, and it's good if I don't surrender in battle, and I still expect to break the cauldron and sink the boat?

Guo Jia didn't look down on the Japanese people, but just stated a simple truth.

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia paused for a while and added: "Lord, if the Japanese really have the heart to retreat, they will be able to verify it in a few days." ”

"How do I verify?"

"Once the Japanese really start peace talks and send peace talks envoys to Pyongyang, it will naturally be possible to verify what the Japanese people really want."

Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai also smiled.

As Guo Jia said, if the Japanese people really want to retreat south, they will definitely send envoys to Pyongyang. And this matter will not be delayed, because now the Ming can afford to wait, but the Japanese people can't sit still.

"Well, I'll wait here for the arrival of the Japanese people and the envoys."

………

Guo Jia's prediction was confirmed by Liu Ye in less than three days.

The Japanese people really could not sit still and wanted to push the peace talks to the next level of substance.

Five days later, the Japanese envoys and the Ming envoys set out together to form a peace lineup of more than 500 people, marching from Seoul to Pyongyang.

On 13 February, the team arrived in Pyongyang.

And the one who negotiated on behalf of the Japanese people was the young and vigorous Yushiba Hidekatsu.

Because Yushiba Hidekatsu also has another identity, he is the fourth son of Oda Nobunaga in the past, and he is also the nephew of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he was also adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as an adopted son.

In other words, the title of Hashiba Hidekatsu should actually be corrected to Toyotomi Hidekatsu.

Of course, Mo Xiaobai had no interest in the surname of the young man in front of him, so when the two sides met, he went straight to the topic: "Since the envoy is here, I temporarily believe that you Japanese are willing to negotiate peace." However, with regard to the content of the peace talks, I believe that it is necessary to conduct more detailed consultations. ”

"Lord Admiral, please speak, I am here with sincerity." Yuchai Xiusheng said in a deep voice, he actually didn't want to be this peace envoy, but at this moment, only his identity was the most suitable in Seoul, so he could only come by order.

"There is no need to say anything more about the complete withdrawal of the Japanese from North Korea. But you burned, killed, looted, and committed great sins in North Korea, so you don't think you'll be okay if you leave, right? ”

Mo Xiaobai spoke in a low voice, and finally looked at Yuan Huang on the side: "Yuan Zanhua, you come to tell them how much loss this battle has for North Korea and my Ming Dynasty." ”

"Yes, sir."

Yuan Huang was the first to come out of the ranks, shaking his head in his heart, and said in his heart that the Japanese people could only be regarded as unlucky when they met the admiral, and said loudly: "Since the beginning of the war, the Japanese have invaded and occupied the territory of Korea and plundered the Korean people, so that the territory of Korea is empty and empty, and the losses of residents' houses, goods, and cultivation are incalculable. However, judging from the affluence of the Korean people and the harvest of land cultivation, the economic losses brought to North Korea by this war have exceeded 10 million silver. ”

"And my Great Tomorrow Dynasty, in order to send troops to North Korea, used no less than five million silver, and the soldiers and horses of various departments gathered in North Korea, which was also hard work, among which nearly 1,000 soldiers died in battle, and this cost was not less than 10 million silver."

"Therefore, if the Japanese want to stop the war, they must not only withdraw from Korea, but also pay the Ming Dynasty and North Korea for the loss of 25 million silver."

Yuan Huang said these seriously, and the lines made up by Mo Xiaobai in advance, he himself felt funny.

With blackmail so naked on the table, the entire Ming Dynasty may only have one admiral. But in front of the envoys of the Japanese State, Yuan Huang was also happy to open his mouth and blackmail with such confidence.

Yuan Huang was happy, but Yuchai Xiusheng was dumbfounded.

Not only do you have to withdraw your troops, but you also have to pay 25 million taels of silver?

Almost subconsciously, Yuchai Xiusheng stood up angrily: "Are you bullying me!" ”

It's insulting you!

Secretly funny in his heart, Mo Xiaobai said seriously: "This money is calculated by my military praise painting, if you think it is unreasonable, I can show you the bill." ”

"Bills? What bill? It is impossible for us to pay such a huge amount of compensation, let alone give a penny to the DPRK! ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it? Come, send off. ”

Mo Xiaobai waved his right hand and got up directly: "You are still qualified to sit down with me now, and when you really reach the day when you are cornered, just wait to bury your bones in another country." ”

After speaking, Mo Xiaobai got up and left.

And Yuan Huang also walked against Yuchai Xiusheng, stretched out his hand and said: "The conditions mentioned by the Admiral, you Japanese people had better consider it again, please." ”

"You"

Seeing that a bad old man dared to despise himself like this, Yushiba Hideyoshi gritted his teeth angrily, but he could only leave the council hall in a negative mood.

When Yuchai Hideyoshi returned to the Pyongyang Pavilion Station, Mo Xiaobai, Guo Jia, Li Ji and others gathered together again.

"The previous things have been expected by Fengxiao, so how will the Japanese people deal with it next?"

"My lord, the Japanese people obviously will not pay this compensation, or even cannot afford it." Guo Jia replied very truthfully, and the essence flickered between his eyebrows: "But isn't this the result that the lord wants?" ”
