Chapter 429: Humiliating Peace


"As early as a few years ago, our shogunate, the General of the Conquest of Barbarians, had promulgated a decree to designate the Ezo Territory as the territory of heaven, and sent personnel to promulgate it, and drew a map to present to the emperor..."

Tadashi Sakai recounted the past events of a few years ago. .

This is indeed true.

Personnel sent by the Matsumae clan and the shogunate conducted a large-scale exploration of the Ezo Territory and produced a map, which was presented to Tokugawa Iemitsu and the emperor in Kyoto.

"It's useless to talk more.

Your so-called general's decree to conquer the barbarians is worthless to me, Jeju."

Li Hu waved his hand domineeringly.

Who has the time to argue with you?

I command a powerful fleet to get benefits. of.

"The Ezo land is now called Beihua.

We have established prefectures and counties to resettle the people and collect taxes.

Don't worry about the Japanese."

Li Hu was born in the military and had no interest in wrangling.

Now he is the winner and bows his head on behalf of Mr.

Zhao who oppresses the shogunate and pays compensation.

"But you are waiting to harass the general's town of Edo for no reason..."

Tadayoshi Sakai said, he still wanted to occupy a certain degree of morality, even if it was just a small pinch, so that he could strive for benefits in the future.

"It's useless to talk more," Li Hu raised his hand to stop Sakai Tadashi's dispute.

There is no need to talk about this matter.

This is not why the Polu Army mobilized troops and came here.

"Sakai-sama, you should tell me your purpose."

Peace talks must have an attitude.

It is not a negotiation method.

It is first necessary to figure out who wants what from whom.

Sakai Tadashi was depressed.

He just wanted to debate and gain the initiative, and then talk about the armistice naturally.

This way, he could pay less for it.

It seemed that Jeju Akito didn't care about this at all.

"I, the shogunate, believe that the Akito should withdraw from Edo Bay, return to Jeju, and at the same time return the Sado Administrative Office, so that the two sides can live in peace from now on."

Sakai Tadayo bowed.

"Hahaha," Li Hu laughed, "Sakai-sama is joking.

The shogunate navy keeps attacking our Jeju navy.

Now seeing that the situation is unfavorable, they are calling for a truce.

It is so unreasonable to ask us to withdraw from Sado, but I am afraid that I will not Figure out who is the victor.

Hundreds of warships and more than ten thousand people of the Shogunate navy have sunk into the sea, and our navy is now bombarding Edo, letting all the Japanese daimyo and samurai see the Tokugawa family's joke. " Li Hu Ciguoguo threatened Sakai Tadashi.

He had no interest in continuing to play with words, so let's talk about something practical.

"You."

Sakai Tadashi glared at Li Hu angrily, his face turning red.

After all, as a veteran of the Tokugawa shogunate and the head of a feudal clan, he hadn't been scolded so unceremoniously for many years, not even the general.

You have to take care of him, let alone others.

"What are we waiting for?

If the Tokugawa shogunate is not angry, we can fight again.

I, the Jeju Navy, will definitely accompany me to the end."

Li Hu looked at the old man with a sneer.

Fight again.

Sakai Tadashi really wanted to teach the arrogant Akito in front of him a lesson, but the entire naval force was wiped out.

If they fought again, unless Akito came ashore, it would be just a joke.

Looking at Akito's current appearance, they had no intention of going ashore to fight on foot.

That's it.

He used iron and fire to humiliate the Tokugawa shogunate, turning the once prosperous Edo City into a bad plaster on the Tokugawa family's head, and making all Japan, from the emperor to the daimyo samurai everywhere, see the Tokugawa family's jokes.

"That's it.

Mr.

Li, please explain clearly how the Akito warships can be withdrawn to Jeju."

Sakai Tadayo suppressed his blush and bowed.

"It's simple.

As long as the shogunate confirms that Sado will be handed over to Jeju's jurisdiction, and in addition, it will compensate Jeju for a small sum of one million silver.

This matter is over, and you and I will live in peace from now on."

Li Hu laid out the conditions carelessly. .

"It's absolutely impossible, it's impossible to hand over Sado."

Sakai Tadayo shook his head.

The shogun was responsible for managing all Japan for the emperor in terms of official system, but he lost the land and gave it to others.

The shogunate does not have this right, and even if he did, General Iemitsu would not do it.

Otherwise, he would become a joke throughout Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate would lose face, and its rule would be shaken.

It is absolutely impossible to agree to this condition.

"Then take a step back and pay a small compensation of 1.2 million silver, and the Jeju Navy can withdraw its troops."

Li Hushi opened his mouth.

"It's absolutely impossible.

The shogunate doesn't have that much wealth now," Tadayo Sakai shook his head.

The shogunate spent nearly two million silver coins in the past few years to purchase and build Nanman warships, and there were more than a thousand warships.

Large and small tubes can be said to have exhausted the money and food of the shogunate.

Now the shogunate still has less than half a million silver in savings.

These are for the general to go to Kyoto to Kamiro next year to show his force to the emperor, daimyo and samurai from various places.

General Iemitsu has been waiting for a long time.

In Japan, having the strength to go to Luo means being the master of Japan.

Since the Warring States Period, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others have successively gone to Luo.

They were all important figures in Japan at that time.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's grandfather and father Hidetada both went to Luo, showing all Japan who is the master of Japan now.

However, since Iemitsu took over the power alone and became the true shogun, he has not gathered troops to declare force in Luo.

Therefore, Iemitsu has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Only then did he save his wealth and save up.

If it is used to compensate Jeju Mingren, it really hurts my body.

Going to Luo is not in sight, which would drive His Majesty the General crazy.

"It seems that you and I have nothing to talk about.

It is better to let the iron and fire continue to burn in Edo.

The shogun is probably looking forward to the same.

Look at the low houses of you Japanese people.

It is better to rebuild taller and more spacious houses after burning them down." , so as to bring glory to the general," Li Hu said viciously.

Sakai Tadayo looked at the Edo Castle, which was still smoking thickly, feeling anxious, but Akito's appetite was really too big.

"Pass the order and continue bombarding Edo."

Li Hu ordered.

The guards will be busy conveying Li Hu's orders.

Sakai Tadashi hurriedly stopped him, "I came here to cease the war.

Why is Mr.

Li so reckless?"

We really can't burn it anymore.

Many places in Edo City have suffered now.

We can't continue.

If we continue like this, Edo South City will be burned to the ground, and the general will lose his face.

Since both parties want to talk, let's continue talking.

"Seven hundred thousand, impossible, absolutely impossible."

Half an hour later, the two sides talked about this place, and Tadayo Sakai kept shaking his head.

He knew the shogunate's family well, and the shogunate couldn't do it if he took out all these things at once.

"In this way, in this way, the shogunate can handle the matter in three years.

In the first year, the small sentence is 400,000 silver, in the second year, the small sentence is 200,000 silver, and in the third year, the small sentence is 100,000 silver."

Li Hu made an astonishing statement.

Li Hu also had a headache.

It was the first time he heard that the compensation could be paid in batches, but he had to carry out Zhao Lie's instructions.

Sakai Tadashi also looked at Li Hu with wide eyes.

It was strange that he could handle the compensation like this.

But once he figured it out, it was good, and the shogunate would pay it off without much pressure.

It was just that he didn't think about going to Luo, and could only wait a few years.

The two sides argued here several times.

Sakai Tadashi wanted to keep the amount of compensation down, but Li Hu said he would not do it.

Zhao Lie explained that it was a small amount of 600,000 to 700,000 silver, and Li Hu planned to pay whatever he wanted.

Keep the upper hand.

In the end, both parties agreed on a down payment of 350,000 silver with a small judgment, a small silver judgment of 200,000 next year, and a small silver judgment of 150,000 the year after that.

"Master Li, these matters are of great importance.

I can only make a decision by reporting to the general."

Sakai Tadashi bowed slightly and said.

"This is what it should be," Li Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just that before the general agrees, our navy has to continue bombarding Edo.

Don't blame me, Mr.

Sakai.

Don't blame me."

Sakai Tadashi heard that his chest was cramping, and he thought, that's too much to bully.

Sakai Tadashi returned to Edo Castle angrily.

After many years, he became the first old man to discuss compensation.

He was really frustrated.

Before the general arrived, the artillery of the Polu army began to roar again, and projectiles continued to fly into the city.

Sakai Tadayo saw with his own eyes that a wine shop was hit by a projectile, with tiles and wood chips flying, injuring several people nearby. , Fortunately, there was no one in the wine shop, and there were no more casualties, but the fire started.

Sakai Tadashi sighed and hurried to Uchimaru, this matter could not be delayed any longer.

"What a small judgment of 700,000 silver, even if it is paid in installments, it is too much."

Doi Toshikatsu was surprised when he heard Sakai Tadashi's reply.

Sakai Tadashi looked at Doi Toshiki coldly, "In this case, Doi-sama can go to the Ming army battleship and see how Ming people handle it."

Damn it, despite all the trouble and even the infamy, Doi Toshiki doubted him.

Sakai Tadayo was furious, but it was hard to get angry in front of the general.

"Okay, General, I believe in Sakai Tadashi's duty," Iemitsu raised his hand sadly to stop any possible conflict.

The Poro troops outside were still bombarding Edo.

Although they could only bombard the southern half of the city, as long as they continued, it would be equivalent to continuing to humiliate Iemitsu's face.

This made him feel so embarrassed.

"General, I am incompetent."

The elder Ii Naotaka knelt down and said.

Others also hurriedly fell to the ground to apologize.

This is necessary.

As a vassal, you must have such awareness.

"Everyone, please get up.

This is an act of rebellion by Ming people.

You have done your best," Iemitsu said, "What matters now is whether or not we should agree."

"I can only agree, but as long as the first year is paid, there is no need to pay the rest."

Ii Naotakafu said.

Everyone looked at him, "As long as Akito leaves, we will build a large number of forts in Edo Bay and densely deploy heavy artillery.

If Akito dares to come again, we will let them sink to the bottom of the sea."

Naotaka Ii gritted his teeth.

Well, when everyone heard this, they thought this was the right idea.

If a large number of forts were not built, Ming people would often come to blackmail them, which would be a shame and a great shame.

"If Mingren wants to extort money again, he can only come to the land.

Then, hum."

Naotaka Ii waved his right hand fiercely.

Everyone nodded, convinced that they were not afraid of the combat power of Akito's infantry.

Although Akito had won one victory out of ten, they only defeated the coalition forces of the Anui and the wealthy tribes, and the elite shogunate banners were not dispatched.

Therefore, if They wanted the Ming people to land for a decisive battle. s: Thank you for the 100 reward from You Daxing, Immortal Love Fire, and Young Master of Three Rings, and thank you for the reward from Kuaiji Shanren 007.
