Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 737 Harsh Conditions
Both Qi Jiguang and Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded:
"Okay, let's see what favorable conditions Little Japan can offer Daming."

Kuro Tanaka, the elder of the Tokugawa shogunate, was kneeling outside Edo Castle, his legs were numb, and only then did he see the gate of Edo Castle open and a fast horse galloping out.

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty ordered the Japanese envoys to come to the city to pay a visit."

"Thank you, Commander Daming, for receiving me!"

Tanaka Kuro hurriedly thanked him, then got up and prepared to enter the city.

When he got up, his legs were numb and almost led, but fortunately the samurai beside him reached out to support him.

No matter what time it was, Kuro Tanaka dared to delay the time to enter the city, so he hurriedly asked the guards to help him enter the city.

"Quick, help me into the city..."

This time he was ordered to negotiate with the generals of Ming Dynasty, and Kuro Tanaka also spent his money.

The shogunate and the big bosses fled in a hurry, without leaving any property for Kuro Tanaka.

In order to be able to retreat from Edo, Kuro Tanaka brought almost all the valuables at home, otherwise there would be no need for so many people to come.

A group of people hurried to the Mansion of the Great General Zhengyi. At this time, the Mansion of the Great General Zhengyi has become the Mansion of the Protectorate of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Seeing the Dongying Dufufu sign hanging on the former General's Mansion, the old Tokugawa shogunate Kuro Naka Tanaka knew that Edo may no longer have anything to do with Japan.

Qi Jiguang, Zhu Cihong, and Zheng Chenggong, three important figures in the Ming Dynasty, were discussing how to negotiate with the shogunate. The guards came in to report:

"Your Highness, Commander, the Japanese envoy is here!"

"Let them in."

"Yes"

Soon, Tanaka came in with forty or fifty Japanese people, and when his subordinates put down the gifts, he waved his hand, and those people immediately left the hall.

Zhu Cihong, Qi Jiguang, and Zheng Chenggong looked at the gifts piled up on the ground. There were boxes of gold and silver, various jewels, and precious items such as ginseng. They seemed to be quite a lot.

Kuro Tanaka looked up at the three Ming generals seated above, and then fell to his knees:

"Tanaka Kuro, the old Tokugawa shogunate, pays homage to the great general of the Celestial Dynasty. A gift is not a respect, but Tanaka Kuro is already rich."

Hearing that Kuro Tanaka said that the gift was his entire net worth, the three of Qi Jiguang were taken aback:
"Oh, isn't this a gift from the shogunate to Daming?"

"No, they left in such a hurry that they didn't have time to prepare gifts for Daming."

Zhu Cihong, Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and the three heard it so, the shogunate didn't intend to negotiate with Daming at all!

Qi Jiguang's gaze became even colder:
"Since the Tokugawa shogunate asked you to negotiate with Daming, the governor wants to hear what favorable conditions your shogunate can give Daming."

Hearing Qi Jiguang's words back to the topic, Kuro Tanaka hastily kowtowed again:

"General Zhengyi said that as long as the Ming army stops invading Japan, the shogunate is willing to assign the land you currently occupy to Ming Dynasty. In addition, the shogunate is willing to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty and pay tribute to Ming Dynasty every year!"

Qi Jiguang nodded:

"Well, there's more!"

"Commander, now almost the entire Kyushu Island has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Edo fief is also in the hands of the Ming army. The shogunate believes that Japan has been half occupied by the Celestial Dynasty, so it should be able to stop attacking Japan."

To be honest, this condition is actually very generous, but unfortunately they don't know that the Ming army is here to destroy Japan this time.

Seeing what Tanaka Kuro said, Qi Jiguang looked at Zheng Chenggong, asking him to say a few words.

Zheng Chenggong immediately understood what Qi Jiguang meant, so he said:
The Ming Dynasty sent multiple troops to attack Ryukyu and Japan this time, and the consumption of our warships and firearms has reached more than 1000 million taels of silver.

These consumptions are enough to buy half of Japan. Now the land you promised is already at the foot of Daming. Do you think the shogunate has the slightest sincerity in doing so? "

When Tian Zhong heard Zheng Chenggong's words, he wanted to scold his mother at that time. Warships and firearms cost tens of millions of taels of silver, and Daming's silver is too worthless. It's a lie!
But he didn't dare to refute, maybe his head is not his own, and he is not in charge of other things, he was also sent by the old man to delay time.

Kuro Tanaka wiped the sweat off his forehead and could only say:
"I don't know what the Celestial Dynasty has for this. As long as the shogunate can do it, the shogunate will try its best to satisfy the Great Ming Dynasty."

Tanaka knelt on the ground, but Qi Jiguang and others didn't let him get up. When he finished speaking, he felt a biting pain in his knee.

Zheng Chenggong felt a little funny when he saw that the Tokugawa shogunate elder was in pain, with a forced smile on his face.

But when he thought of the detainment of his mother by the Tokugawa shogunate, he suddenly became angry.

"You Japanese are a nation without integrity. Da Ming doesn't believe your guarantee. If you want Da Ming to stop attacking, all the troops of the Tokugawa shogunate must lay down their weapons and have them recruited by the Ming military.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty will garrison troops throughout Japan, the Guangming Emperor Zen will be handed over to Emperor Mingzheng, the power of the Tokugawa shogunate will be transferred to Emperor Mingzheng, and Emperor Mingzheng will enter the palace to be the concubine of Emperor Mingzheng. If you can do these things, Ming Dynasty will suspend the attack on Kyoto . "

Zheng Chenggong hadn't finished speaking, and Kuro Tanaka, the old Tokugawa shogunate, fainted directly in front of his eyes.

For Tokugawa Iemitsu, his condition is not as good as Ming directly attacking Kyoto and turning Japan into a province of Ming.

Not only did all the Japanese troops lay down their weapons and were taken over by the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor also abdicated, and let the 19-year-old Emperor Mingzheng enter the palace as the emperor's concubine.

In this way, not only the entire Japanese military force was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but the jurisdiction was also returned to the hands of the Emperor, and the Emperor became a plaything of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It means that Japan's administrative power and army are all in the hands of Daming, and the sacred emperor in the hearts of the Japanese people has actually become a thing under the Emperor of Ming.

Not to mention that Tokugawa Iemitsu could not accept such a condition, the emperor would not accept it even more. How dare Kuro Tanaka agree.

Not to mention Kuro Tanaka, even Zhu Cihong and Qi Jiguang were taken aback, and then laughed heartily:

"Hahaha... You are indeed worthy of being the commander of the Ming Dynasty Navy, your trick is so amazing..."

Zheng Chenggong smiled triumphantly:
"Your Highness, Commander, do you think His Majesty will negotiate with the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate? Daming is here to destroy Japan this time. If that is the case, of course he will offer conditions that Japan cannot agree to."

Zhu Cihong clapped his hands and laughed:

"Look, Commander, your terms scared the Japanese ambassador into fainting, hahaha..."

"Come on, wake him up!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, and immediately someone brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly on Tanaka Kuro's face.

"God..."

Kuro Tanaka was woken up by cold water, and the first thing he said was God.

Maybe he thinks only God can save Japan.

Reaching out to wipe off the water on his face, Kuro Tanaka opened his eyes, turned over with difficulty and knelt down in front of the three main generals of Ming Dynasty again.

Regardless of whether the shogunate agrees to Daming's conditions or not, Kuro Tanaka doesn't want to die now, so let's beg for mercy!

So he kowtowed repeatedly and said:

"The conditions set by the Celestial Dynasty are a bit big. The villain dare not make the decision. I hope the governor will let us go back and report to the shogunate to make a decision. I don't know what the governor thinks?"
