Xinshun 1730

Chapter 407 The teacher of benevolence and justice
After finalizing this plan, Zong Yiru knew that everything was basically secure.

Yusen Fangzhou is a Confucian student, he has the righteousness of loyalty to the emperor, and he also said that he wants to follow Dr. Sanlu. After sorting out his books, he will die.

Those who hide the silver are my confidantes, as long as those who are doing coolie transportation are killed, no one will know.

The people on the shogunate knew that they were hiding the silver, because now this batch of silver had to be moved with the permission of the people on the shogunate.

But as long as this person is thrown back to Japan, once he leaves, he will get rid of the confidant who knows the truth. Dashun is not familiar with the situation here, and will not immediately know about his private silver.

If the shogunate asked him for silver in the future, he would be the noble of Dashun, so he would ask for it if he had the ability.

Now he has just married, the daughter of the Hosokawa family, the lord of the Kumamoto Domain. He has just been married. In addition, the Tsushima Domain is the same as the Ezo side. He has a pilgrimage once every three years, and he has no sons, so there is no need to go to Edo. hostage.

When his father died, he was still underage, so he recognized his uncle as his adoptive father and his uncle as the feudal lord.Now after the uncle abdicates, he is still alive.

I still have a younger brother. Although I don't have a son yet, but I am still young, I don't need to regard my younger brother as my adopted son now. My younger brother is also right now.The name is Shijiang Rumiao.

He knew that to plan such a thing, there should not be too many people, and the people close to him must be dealt with first.

So in the chaos, he first called his uncle and younger brother to have a secret talk.

…………

a day later.

Yusen Fangzhou thinks that Japan will suffer a big setback this time, and the theory of two Chinas that he believes in is probably no longer possible.After sorting out his final manuscript, he wrote a [-]-character manuscript on his concern that "Japan can only have a future by cutting off the word Hua and becoming Japan".

Like Dr. Qu, he drowned in water and died.

At the same time, Zong Yiru's younger brother, Shi Jiang Rumiao, came to Dashun's warship alone.

Without an interpreter, he believed that there would be an interpreter on Dashun's side.

Even if there is no translator here at Dashun, there is no problem in communicating in Chinese characters with pen and paper.

The small boat brought him close to the warship, and the people on board lowered the rope and pulled him up.

Mi Gao and several military officers knew that he was the younger brother of Zong Yiru, the lord of the Tsushima domain, and that Zong Yiru had no son yet, so they started talking sincerely.

Shi Jiang Rumiao also cut to the chase, and asked directly: "I don't know what the position of the monarch is? Maybe it's up to you?"

A group of officers, including Mantou, wondered what kind of official position we are in?

After all, the navy has not yet been institutionalized, with only military ranks and few official positions.

The chief commander here, Mantou, is only the captain of a warship in name, and he is only temporarily in charge of the squadron.

Although these people can make a decision, since the other party asked this question, they still need to give a reassuring answer.

At this time, it is meaningless to say honest allusions such as "Zhou Zheng cross-excuses", and the other party cannot believe it.

"The doctor of the Li government of the Celestial Dynasty is in North Korea. If the lord of the Tsushima domain really wants to pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty, he can communicate with the Li government. If the two countries go to war, if they want to wait for the wind to surrender, they must be based on honesty. You can rest assured. It's just not Do you know what the Tsushima domain lord means?"

Shi Jiang Rumiao had dealt with North Korea, and knew that North Korea's Li Cao was probably equivalent to the Celestial Court's Li government. These people were in charge of rhetoric, systems, and ceremonies.

In any case, people from the Li government are always more credible than this group of soldiers.

Hearing that someone from the Li government is in Dongnae Mansion in North Korea, this matter can really be discussed.

If Zong Yi discussed it with him, the condition is actually very simple.

Tsushima Fan can give 8 taels of silver to the Dashun Navy, but there must be someone with enough weight to guarantee it.

If the Dashun Army wanted to occupy the Tsushima Domain, they would not be able to capture Tsushima Castle.After waiting for the emperor's edict, the Zong family could leave Zhanyuan City.

If these conditions cannot be agreed, Zong will not surrender.

Of course, if Dashun can agree to these conditions, the Tsushima Fan can send some warriors on Tsushima Island away, so as to avoid harassment when Dashun is stationed and occupied.

I also hope that Dashun can be honest and allow some merchants from Tsuema Fan to withdraw after giving silver to Tsuema Fan.

Or, if Dashun can guarantee that Qiu is innocent, then the merchants of Tsushima Fan are willing to pay silver to buy the "disaster of robbery".

After the conditions were announced, the officers got together, avoided Shi Jiang Rumiao, and discussed in a low voice.

Mantou feels that this condition is fully agreed.

"Although we are going to be hated by the businessmen of Ma Fan after all, after all, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. But for now, if we can really allow them to leave, we can let the news go back to Japan, and it will be convenient for the future We asked them to pay the money for the redemption of the city, and merchants elsewhere thought we were trustworthy."

"Samurai...you can also let them go. It's not a problem even if the family members take them with them. There are not many samurai in the Tsushima Domain. If you run back to Japan, there will be no more than one of them, and no less than one less."

"On the contrary, if we want to subdue the hearts of the people in the Tsushima domain, we must start with the humblest farmers and workers. Driving away the samurai will also make it easier for us to emulate Tosa's story in Tsushima. , to win the hearts of the people."

"Otherwise, even if those warriors have temporarily surrendered, they will rebel when they hear that we are going to divide the land and return it to the people."

"Since that's the case, it's better to throw them all back to Japan. In the future, it will be easier to kill them in the army, so as not to stay in the local area and become local snakes. If they hide, it will be difficult to catch them."

"what do y'all think?"

The rest of the officers also nodded, thinking that there was no problem.

Inside the navy, this time they want to do something big. It is best to let the army have no chance to contribute and solve the Japanese problem.

The navy has its own ideas, and now Liu Yu has not lost power, and the commander of the army is still a prince, and it is time to make a big vote.

Of course, in general, the order of the Privy Council must be followed.

But the Privy Council is far away in the capital, and the actions of the navy can in turn affect the decision of the Privy Council.

Furthermore, thinking that Liu Yu is now in the capital and has known each other for many years.Liu Yu must have understood the navy's intentions, and he would follow suit to help them accomplish great things under the condition of "obeying the order of the Privy Council".

It is in the overall interest of the navy to ask for money.

Only with money can we build ships, and with more ships, so many classmates and brothers who have been intern captains for many years can have their own warships, and only then can the navy have more strength to stabilize its position.

But if you want money, you can't exhaust it.

This time, for the sake of money, I thought that sooner or later the merchants of Mafan would be offended, so I directly came to a wave of looting, or I could get an extra 10,000+ taels.

But if that's the case, the subsequent siege and harassment and the plan to ask for money in the city will be difficult.

Moreover, the Celestial Dynasty still went to war in the name of "propriety, law and righteousness". If it really did something like killing people and stealing goods, the emperor probably didn't look good.

At the beginning of the war, let a Japanese daimyo surrender first, the emperor looked good, and felt that the navy was general.

A group of people discussed for a while, and some people tentatively said: "We want 8 taels, and they gave it directly, without even talking about it...Is it true that the demand is a bit small?"

This number was negotiated within the navy, and I think it is a market price, and it is not good to beat people to death with a stick.

It's just that now it seems that the people who judge the asking price are really conservative.

Mantou finally made a final decision: "8 taels is 8 taels. It's not interesting to turn over and over again. If you want an extra [-] taels, that's all. I think it's settled like that? Send someone back to Busan, please." Mr. Zhao from the Li government came forward?"

"Well, okay, that's it." The rest of the people also felt that there was no need to charge too much for the long-term plan.

This money must not be kept privately, otherwise there will be too much trouble in the future, and someone will definitely be impeached.

It can be returned to Li Yan, who will be disposed of by Li Yan, nominally for the use of the army.

The imperial court knew that at least part of the soldiers would be rewarded. This has been a rule since ancient times, and it is also the only way to prevent the army from slaughtering and looting privately at this time.

As long as the court has enough brains, it won't even understand this.

After discussing it again, and after confirming that there was no problem, Mantou and Shi Jiang Rumiao made a guarantee.

Shi Jiang Rumiao can return to Tsushima now, so that the lord of the Tsushima domain can raise money now, and within five days, this matter must be resolved.

Five days later, the Navy will allow the ships on Tsushima Island to leave, anyway, there is no need to be afraid of Zong Yiru running away: running away is death, and leaving the domain without authorization is a serious crime.

At that time, Zong Yiru can let these warriors leave with their families in the name of "retire for future victory".

Merchants can also leave with their belongings.

Dashun's navy promised not to bombard it, and would go to Busan to invite people from the Dashunli government to come as security.

Once these people evacuate, the Zong family can continue to stay in Zhanyuan City, but if there are cannons in the city, they must be dismantled.

The Dashun Army promised not to harass Zhanyuan City, at least they did not commit any crime against the Zong Clan and Qiu.

At that time, the Clippers will report to the imperial court, and the imperial court will surely send someone to reward them soon.As soon as the imperial court's imperial decree arrives, the matter will be completely resolved.

Shi Jiang Rumiao didn't expect that the negotiation would be so smooth. The two sides had almost no nonsense and went straight to the point.

As for whether this kind of guarantee is credible, Shi Jiang Rumiao felt that the talks were too smooth, and he felt a little guilty.

"The ancients said that soldiers never tire of deceit. Could it be that your navy is so powerful that you deceived us, but let us intercept and kill us halfway when we boarded the ship and were about to leave?"

The officers laughed, and each took out some of the trophies they got in Kochi Castle, as well as a few pictures of the mountain city of Kochi Castle.

"Although we are in the navy, we are actually the strongest in land warfare. Don't say that the small feudal clan of Ma Wanshi is the Tosa Kochi with a height of 20 stone. It’s not good to do unrighteous things.”

"You have never been in charge of the army, so how do you know what is going on in the army? The Holy Son of Heaven is certainly benevolent, and we officers may be benevolent, but if there is a fight, the killing is red-eyed, and the slaughter afterwards, how can it be controlled?"

"The merchants are rich, if they don't leave, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no looting. We are in the name of protecting benevolence and righteousness, so why not believe it?"

"If you want to be benevolent and not rob merchants, the best way is not to restrain the soldiers, but to let there be no merchants to rob here. This is the difference between treating the symptoms and the root cause."

"That's called, you have to be benevolent and righteous. If you have no money to grab, you can't be benevolent, right? Only farmers are left, eating radishes every day. What is there to grab?"

Some unreasonable reasoning convinced Shi Jiang Rumiao, thinking that this is probably true.

Although he has never been in charge of the army, he also knows about military disasters. He is really red-eyed, and the general is indeed difficult to restrain.The Celestial Dynasty has always claimed benevolence and righteousness, and governed the country with Confucianism. This statement should be credible.

Furthermore, the ability to capture Tosa is more than enough to capture a Tsushima.

One is that Tosa's stone is taller than Tsushima, and the other is that Tosa is much farther than Tsushima.

The stone height is not enough to frighten, but this distance is enough to frighten.The year-round trade of the Tsushima domain, although it only crosses a narrow strait, it also knows the difference between hundreds of miles and thousands of miles.

I chose to believe in my heart, so I said goodbye first, hoping that Dashun would bring people from the Li government as soon as possible.

Compared with these soldiers, they still believe in the reputation of Confucian scholars.

After all, the Confucian scholars of Tsushima Fan, such as Tao Shanduweng and Yusen Fangzhou, are all sincere gentlemen, which is enough to increase the credibility of Confucian scholars.

And the soldiers...even if they say they are hype, they are really unbelievable.Shi Jiang Rumiao knew all too well what it was like for a warrior to burn, injure, and loot when he fought.
