North Korean official Li Gui was both annoyed and embarrassed for a moment, and looked at Wei Guangwei aggrievedly.Wei Guangwei said to Date Masamune in an undeniable tone: "This is not up to your country!"
North Korea is my Ming vassal state, no matter how strong or weak, all overseas countries should give it dignity, otherwise, they will not give me the dignity of the Ming Dynasty!
”Date Masamune, on the other hand, stood up directly after relaying Wei Guangwei's words from the interpreter, and shouted: "This is really a humiliation to my country!"
Our country never compromises with the weak!
”Wei Guangwei smiled faintly: "Then are you willing or unwilling?"
”Date Masamune still sat back and said, "Please continue!"
Wei Guangwei therefore continued to ask Li Gui: "The Japanese state needs to compensate you North Korea with 5 million yuan of silver coins, can Li Tongzhi have any objections?"
”Li Gui thought to himself that the Japanese Kingdom was very arrogant and domineering, and he had never taken his Korean Kingdom seriously, but now he relied on the Celestial Empire to support his Korean Kingdom, and his own North Korea could not be ignorant, so he should obey the arrangements of the Celestial Empire with peace of mind.So, Li Gui replied: "Everything is at the command of the angel!"
”Wei Guangwei nodded.Shen Yourong glanced at Li Gui speechlessly, he didn't understand why His Majesty wanted North Korea to also participate in this negotiation, and took the initiative to ask for compensation for North Korea.Li Gui noticed the disdain in the eyes of the officials of the Celestial Empire, as well as the contempt of the Japanese people for him, but he just touched his nose and didn't say anything.Because it was indeed the first time for Li Gui to participate in such diplomacy, he did not expect that he would come to the Japanese State to participate in the negotiations, and he would also have to seek compensation from the Japanese State.Therefore, Li Gui didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but at this time, he couldn't send someone back in time to ask for instructions from the Korean king Li Liang, so he could only say that let the Celestial Empire call the shots, so that when he went back to the king, he could also push everything onto the Celestial Empire.Next, Wei Guangwei continued: "It is necessary to open Hirado, Yokohama, Edo, Osaka, and Saga as treaty ports, and in addition, I need to send foreign affairs officers in Edo to be responsible for daily communication with the shogunate of your country, and ask your country to set aside the official offices where our foreign affairs officers are stationed in Edo. ”Date Masamune pursed his lips after listening to the translation, and although he was surprised by the Ming Dynasty's request to place officials in Edo, he did not have much of a problem after hearing that the purpose of the Ming faction's permanent presence in Edo was to communicate with his shogunate and not with other daimyos.But for trade, Date Masamune and Tokugawa Hidetada, both did not want to trade, because they were not stupid, and knew that once the treaty ports were increased, it would directly shake the foundation of their rule, especially the commodity advantage of the Ming Dynasty was too great, which made them more willing to refuse trade and close off the country.Therefore, Date Masamune said, "Indemnity and land cession are fine, but trade is not good, and my Yamato has no need for trade." ”Wei Guangwei replied: "But I have the need to trade with your country, and your country can only choose the same between trade and war." ”"Too much deception!"
Sakai Tadakatsu, a shogunate official who came with Date Masamune, immediately slapped the table and yelled because Wei Guangwei said this.At the beginning, when Date Masamune expressed his anger, Shen Yourong was ready to teach Date Masamune a lesson in accordance with the way he and Wei Guangwei had discussed with each other in advance, and Wei Guangwei was responsible for moving his mouth, but at that time, Wei Guangwei stopped Shen Yourong with his eyes.And now Sakai Tadashi couldn't help but slap the table, and when Shen Yourong looked at Wei Guangwei again, Wei Guangwei nodded and made a clicking gesture.Shen Yourong got up directly and walked behind Sakai Tadakatsu, and then suddenly pulled out a knife and wiped Sakai Tadakatsu's neck.Sakai Tadakatsu, who was turning back, didn't expect that the Ming officials would kill him, and he couldn't help but be shocked because of this.But now, before he could ask, he had already fallen to the ground.Date Masamune and other Japanese officials were shocked to see this.North Korean official Ri Gui was also surprised."
Fuck!
Lao Tzu is bullying you, what's the matter, provoke Lao Tzu and directly destroy your shogunate!
”At this time, Shen Yourong directly burst into foul language, carrying a bloody knife, and threw Sakai Tadashi's head on the negotiation table, and looked at Date Masamune and others.And Wei Guangwei only said lightly at this time: "Please forgive me!"
Our General Shen has such a temper!
In addition, if it weren't for the fact that our Emperor Ming thought that the shogunate of your country knew what was at stake and was unwilling to directly use troops, I, General Shen, would have already turned Edo into a second Nagasaki. ”Date Masamune and the other shogunate officials glared angrily at this.But the current Ming Empire is indeed something they can't afford to provoke, so they can't ignore the threat in Wei Guangwei's words.Therefore, Date Masamune had to force a smile and say, "Understood!
Got it!
However, can you report to the general first and then reply to the general on the matter of trade, and now please ask the envoy to make other requests first?
”Wei Guangwei nodded and said: "The next thing is about the criminal prison affairs of the expatriates, if all the officials and civilians of my Ming Dynasty commit crimes in your country, your country needs to be handed over to my Ming Yousi to deal with, and your country shall not deal with it." ”"It's not going to work!"
Date Masamune replied bluntly.But at this time, Shen Yourong glanced at him.Date Masamune hurriedly changed his words because of this: "It's not impossible, let me go back and report to the general." ”Wei Guangwei therefore continued: "There is also your country that needs to give me the most favored nation treatment of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in your country's foreign trade, my Ming Dynasty must equally enjoy the trade privileges of the rest of your country's other foreign countries!"
”Date Masamune nodded, did not refuse, in his opinion, except for the Ming Dynasty, no country dared to bully him like this, and how could his shogunate not give the Ming the best treatment."
In addition, as far as we know, the reason why your country launched the atrocities against our Ming overseas Chinese merchants for no reason is because Matsuura Tadakatsu, Naito Kiyoji, Aoyama Tadatoshi and other daimyos, as well as the filial piety Chen Shicheng and Zhusheng Wang Fen, who stayed in the shogunate of your country and betrayed my Ming Dynasty, slandered that the cotton cloth of our Ming official camp was a cotton cloth produced by the Japanese people who were enslaved and forced to produce by these Japanese people, but in addition to Matsuura Tadakatsu who has been subdued by us, Naito Kiyoji, Aoyama Tadashi, Chen Shicheng, and Wang Fen have not yet been disposed of, so I Daming requests that these people be handed over to me immediately Daming for disposal, To calm my wrath!
Otherwise, even if our Ming Emperor is willing to let go of your Shogunate, my Ming subjects will still ask the Imperial Court to severely punish your Shogunate. ”Wei Guangwei continued.Date Masamune looked embarrassed, because Kiyoji Naito and Tadashi Aoyama were both important daimyos of the shogunate, and Chen Shicheng and Wang Fen were also important foreign merchants raised by the shogunate.However, Date Masamune knew that he couldn't refuse now, so he could only say, "I'll convey it to the general!"
”......
"excessive!"
How do you talk about it!
The indemnity is so much, even if my shogunate has a lot of savings, I can't afford such a compensation, and I even have to pay compensation to North Korea, he Ming Emperor made a good calculation, and took our money to give grace to his vassal state, is to tell the world that as long as he is his lackey, there will be benefits?
And, trade?
It's simply that I don't take my shogunate into account at all, isn't it enough for my shogunate to give him a Nagasaki?!
Yes!
The Ming people who came to my Wa Kingdom, and my Shogunate has no right to deal with them, so my Shogunate is still not the master of all the Wa Kingdoms!
Naito Kiyoji and Aoyama Tadashi can't agree to deal with him, otherwise everyone will in the future, and they would rather offend the shogunate than offend him Emperor Mingguo. ”Tokugawa Hidetada was furious when he learned of the conditions proposed by Ming Guo, and said: "This cannot be agreed, and it must not be agreed!"
