Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Tokugawa Tadanagi with anger on his face: "Kunichiyo, you have to think clearly, we are Japanese, not Chinese."
Tokugawa Tadanagi said with a smile: "If you become a dead person, then you will be nobody.
Your Majesty, Imperial Envoy of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you let me become a general, I will agree to any conditions you have."
After thinking for a while, he said: "But you can't hurt my parents.
This is my final bottom line."
Ma Shiying said with a smile: "The general is joking, how can we harm the imperial palace?
We came to Japan only to punish disobedient officials, and our target is only the Satsuma domain that harmed our domain."
Tokugawa Iemitsu was very anxious when he heard that Ma Shiying had even changed the title of Tokugawa Tadanagi to general.
He considered it for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to control Japan, I, the general, should be more convenient than him, the great Neyan."
Ma Shiying was overjoyed, but her face remained calm.
He smiled and said: "Of course, nominally speaking, the general is slightly stronger than Da Neyan, but what we value more is the sincerity of cooperating with us.
In this regard, it depends on how the two show their performance.
Your sincerity.”
Knowing that the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty wants to sell it at a price, the one with the highest price will get it.
But both brothers know that the loser will only have a very miserable fate.
After losing your life, everything else is nonsense.
So Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth and said: "This general agrees to hand over all the lands of the Satsuma Domain to the Ming Dynasty, and the Shimazu clan's name will be at the disposal of the Ming Dynasty."
Tokugawa Tadanaga smiled and said: "Other than that, I am willing to hand over Nagasaki, which is under the direct control of the shogunate, to the Ming Dynasty, and all trade with Japan will be handled by the Ming Dynasty."
Tokugawa Iemitsu was sure that his younger brother was crazy, so he actually handed over Nagasaki, which was under the direct control of the shogunate, to Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty was responsible for all trade.
This was equivalent to Ming Dynasty becoming the emperor of Japan.
Japan's economy will be under the control of Ming Dynasty.
After all, he could not just care about his own life and death without caring about Japan's interests like Tokugawa Tadaga, so he fell silent and stopped talking.
Tokugawa Tadanaga continued: "The islands close to North Korea are also under the management of Ming Dynasty.
We promise never to invade North Korea again."
Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed and said: "Kunichiyo, I won't argue with you anymore, you don't need to add any more weight."
Tokugawa Tadaga smiled proudly: "What do you want to fight with me for?
I don't care about anything.
Can you do it?"
Ma Shiying was already shocked by Tokugawa Tadaga's conditions.
He didn't even need to work hard on his own.
His conditions far exceeded his expectations.
He couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
What other conditions could he put forward?
Could it be that he wanted to hand over Edo to the Ming Dynasty?
However, he quickly sorted out his emotions: "Since both of you intend to be friendly with the Ming Dynasty, I am very happy.
Let's do this.
Both of you will sign a peace treaty with me, and then I will submit it to the capital, and the emperor will make a decision. , what do you think?”
Tokugawa Tadanagi shouted: "What else does the Ming Emperor need to decide?
Isn't it obvious which one has better conditions?
I can also allow the Ming people to settle in Japan and enjoy the treatment of Japanese samurai.
If any Japanese bully the Ming people, you can It will be tried by Ming officials.
I can also cede Osumi to Ming Dynasty so that Ryukyu and Japan will no longer be bordered."
Ma Shiying immediately said: "The general is so affectionate, so there is no need to trouble our emperor anymore.
Please ask the general to sign a peace treaty with us."
Tokugawa Iemitsu shouted in pain: "Kunichiyo, even if you become a general, you will regret it one day."

Tokugawa Tadanagi said sarcastically: "I will really regret it if I don't become a general."
Ma Shiying politely asked Tokugawa Tadaga to come to another room, called the translator and Yang Guanggao and other senior generals, and began to discuss signing a peace treaty.
After some bargaining, the contents of the peace treaty were as follows: 1.
All Ryukyu lands occupied by the Satsuma Domain would be returned to Ryukyu.
The territory of the Satsuma Domain was managed by the Ming Dynasty for one hundred years. 2.
In order to make up for the losses of the Ming Dynasty, Japan handed over the territory of Osumi Domain south of Suishui to the Ming Dynasty for one hundred years. 3.
Recognize Hirado, Iki, and Tsushima as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and guarantee that there will never be any aggression against North Korea or harassment of the Ming Dynasty's coastal areas. 4.
Recognize Ezo Island as Ming Dynasty territory and withdraw all Japanese from Ezo Island.
5.
All overseas trade will be managed by Ming Dynasty.
And established Nagasaki as Japan's only external port, managed by the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Shiying looked at the peace treaty and felt happy.
Although it was the Guards who fought so hard that the Japanese had to sue for peace, the credit of his imperial envoy cannot be lost no matter what.
The peace treaty was written in both Chinese and Japanese languages.
Tokugawa Tadanagi's signature was General Zhengyi, and here was Ma Shiying's signature, Imperial Envoy of the Ming Dynasty.
Each side of the peace treaty holds one share.
The peace treaty has been signed, but it is actually useless, because Tokugawa Tadanagi is not a general who conquers the barbarians, so how to make Tokugawa Tadanagi become a general who conquers the barbarians is the most important thing.
Ma Shiying asked his entourage to carefully collect the peace treaty, and then began to discuss with the generals of the Guards how to make Tokugawa Tadanagi become a real general who conquered the barbarians.
From here we can see the difference between Ma Shiying and other civil servants: he is bold.
Other ministers were afraid of something like this that would overthrow a country, but he regarded it as a way to advance.
Man Gui spoke first: "When it comes to this matter, there is really no good way.
The only way is to push him over and beat him into submission."
Zhao Shujiao didn't speak.
He had been worried about whether doing so would make the emperor unhappy, so he tried his best not to say anything.
Yang Guanggao shook his head and said: "If we are allowed to attack Edo, it is not impossible, but we must add more troops.
There is absolutely no way for the First Division to move now, and part of the Third Division has moved.
The capital cannot be empty.
The Second Division and The independent brigades are all here, and there are no troops left in the country.
Those guard troops are of no use.
The emperor is also worried that Jiannu may attack North Korea, so a forceful attack is impossible. " Ma Shiying said: "Since we can't attack by force, we can only use other methods.
Our army is now victorious, and both Tokugawa Hidetada's sons are in our hands.
The shogunate no longer has enough courage to confront our army.
This is a negotiation with the shogunate.
It’s a good time, let me go see Tokugawa Hidetada.”
Yang Guanggao nodded and said: "You go and talk.
We will continue to attack the surrounding small countries.
Didn't the Osumi Kingdom join the shogunate's coalition last time?
Then we will fight there.
We have to occupy this place anyway, and we can also put some pressure on the shogunate.
Let them make more concessions.”
Man Gui asked: "That general who conquered the barbarians is useless, should he be killed?"
Ma Shiying said with a smile: "He is just useless now, but maybe he will be of great use in the future
