1825 My New Daming

Chapter 170 Must be hanged and must be paid! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
The Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Japan, Zichen Hall.

This majestic hall, imitated from the Tang Palace, looks like an emperor's residence from a distance, but when you get closer, you can see that it has been in disrepair for a long time. It is covered with wind and rain everywhere. The tatami also exudes a musty smell full of the sense of the times.Even the northern samurai guarding the throne were vagrants who were at the lowest level of the samurai class. They were recruited by the emperor who couldn't afford much money and became imperial thugs.Although they are also called northern warriors, they are really not the same as those northern warriors from the Yuan and Ping clans used by Emperor Baihe.In the eyes of Zheng Guoxian, this group of people is just some lunatics who are so poor that they are about to send their knives to the pawnshop, but still have the dream of being a warrior.
But these lunatics are all very energetic, no matter how much money they earn a month, anyway, when it's their turn to guard their "Goddess of Heaven", they all stare at their eyes, with vicious expressions on their faces. He is the villain who wants to harm the emperor.

When Zheng Guoxian walked into the Zichen Hall, he was stared at by dozens of such eyes and knew that as long as the beautiful big sister sitting on the Zichen Hall said a word, he would be hacked to death!

These warriors to the north of the queen are all capable of risking their lives for the queen!

But these people just looked at Zheng Guoxian viciously, and no one drew their knives to attack him. They just watched this army officer from a foreign country, led by a powdered face, into the dilapidated Zichen Palace.

The light in the Zichen Palace is very dark - there is no electric light in the Imperial Palace, because there is no electricity (electricity is too expensive), only a few very thin candles (thick candles are too expensive), barely illuminate the hall.

When Zheng Guoxian walked in, by the dim candlelight, he saw Emperor Shizuko sitting on a cushion from a distance.There was no gauze curtain lowered in front of the empress, she was only seen wearing a printed yellow kimono, with a bit of make-up on a somewhat charming and fierce face, and a simple scabbard on the side of the cushion , the twine on the handle is a bit frayed too.

Hearing Zheng Guoxian's footsteps, the empress just looked up, and then looked down at the thick stack of texts in her hands.

"Zheng Guoxian sees His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zheng Guoxian stood at attention, and then bowed to the emperor's sister whom he had known since childhood.

"Kamiyama, Hirashen!" Emperor Shizuko spoke Chinese very well, and her voice was pleasant, but her tone was still a bit gloomy, and she didn't give a seat. Instead, she directly raised the text in her hand and shook it, "This is what you imposed The Tokugawa Shogunate's 'Article 21'! The general wanted me to approve it. But after reading it, I found that if Japan really followed the 'Article 21', the whole country would become a prisoner of Ming Dynasty! Therefore, this Traitorous Agreement!"

"Article 21", of course it is a traitorous agreement!Although Ming Dynasty will not occupy even an inch of Japan's land according to the "21 Articles", it can even reward Japan with some land from the spoils after defeating the United Kingdom to dominate the world.

However, no matter whether it is agriculture, finance, light industry or commerce, Japan’s industries will be completely controlled by Daming because of this “21 Articles”—they will either accept capital injection from Daming, or become the OEM business of Daming, or be controlled by Daming. Peer crush!Even if Daming "supports" Japan to focus on the development of the textile industry, there will be no luck.Because Japan's advantage in the textile industry is only high-quality and cheap labor. But first, there is no capital, second, no technology, third, no brand, fourth, no sales channels, fifth, no raw materials, and sixth, no market. How can it develop?You can only be a subcontractor, or simply work for the capitalists of Daming.

As for other industries that are not to be released and have no competitive advantage, they will undoubtedly be swept away by the powerful Ming counterparts, and either be acquired or closed down.Of course, Ming’s industrial capital and financial capital will also flock in, but they are not here to do good deeds. It won’t be long before Ming’s capital will control most of Japan’s industries.

Perhaps after the reshuffle is completed, Japan's economy, which is gradually integrated into the Chinese dynasty, will gradually recover, but in the process of reshuffle of this industry, Japan will definitely suffer considerable pain.

Knowing that this "Article 21" would cause Japan considerable pain, the Tokugawa shogunate did not dare to blame the whole family, and they wanted to blame the emperor anyway.And Emperor Jingzi has been the emperor for eight years, and he has long known that the Tokugawa shogunate will not think of himself if there are good things going on.

so.
Queen Jingzi put down the text in her hand, looked at Zheng Guoxian, and said word by word: "Brother Shenshan, in addition to the '21 article', the general also asked me to issue an edict to designate the respected kings and righteous men who occupy Nagasaki as national thieves! This should also be yours. Daming, right? If I agree to the shogunate's request, how will you deal with the righteous men in Nagasaki?"

"Of course it is extermination! Complete extermination!" Zheng Guoxian said, "They are not righteous men, but national thieves who want to sell Japan to Bai Yi. How can such national thieves not be eliminated? My Ming sent 30 troops and dispatched 1000 warships and ships. Fan Hai came here to help Japan eliminate the national traitors!"

"Hmph, you have 30 troops and [-] warships, are you afraid you won't be able to take down Nagasaki? Why do you want me, a puppet of the shogunate, to come forward and point them out as enemies?"

"Because of His Majesty's decree, Nagasaki will become a rebel that everyone despises, and I, Daming, is the righteous teacher invited by His Majesty to help the suppression. Only when I am righteous can I get the support of the Japanese warriors of the Western Kingdom who are loyal to His Majesty. The rebels in Nagasaki know that not only will they lose, but they will also be ruined after death. How desperate should they be? If they can only die in despair, and they will also be thieves after death, then Da Ming will be in Japan in the future. Have many friends and few enemies.
Your Majesty, now that the shogunate has been won over by us, you can't fight against the shogunate with those few northern samurai!So please issue the "Article 21" and refer to the Nagasaki rebels as the enemy of the court!Daming will not let his friends suffer. If you are a friend of Daming, Daming will support you to be the emperor and give you 100 million silver dollars! "

With a sound of "pa", the emperor slapped the tatami with a slap, then stood up abruptly, and picked up the Taidao, and then strode up to Zheng Guoxian, looking up at Mr. Zheng angrily with his neck up, Zheng The eldest son looked at the empress with a smile.The emperor opened his apricot mouth, and said word by word: "No. The Nagasaki warriors are all my loyal ministers. I can't sell out loyal ministers for a mere million dollars. I have to add more money!"

"How much?" Zheng Guoxian asked.

The emperor looked at Zheng Guoxian, gritted his teeth, and spit out a number; "300 million!"

"No!" Zheng Guoxian shook his head and said with a smile, "At least 500 million!"

"500 million?" Emperor Jingzi looked at Mr. Zheng, "Can you really give that much?"

Zheng Guoxian nodded: "This is just money to support the crusade against the Nagasaki righteous men. The '21 Article' will be approved after the Nagasaki war is over, and then another 500 million can be raised. With so much money, there is also a big Ming With Zheng's support, are you afraid that you won't be able to keep the throne?"

Zheng Guoxian has now made a deal of 100 million yuan into a deal of 1000 million yuan. He really knows how to do business!

However, he only dared to do this transaction because he had pinpointed the conditions of the Ming court. The Ming court must be in pain at this price, but it is still affordable, and it will definitely be paid.Because Daming has already spent so much energy and financial resources in order to win the gold medal fighter from Japan, now is the time for absolutely no mistakes. 1000 million to buy the Emperor's support, although very expensive, but still worth the money.

Shizuko was really satisfied this time, showing a quite charming smile
