ps: The next chapter will have some serious plots.Notice hereby!Continue to ask for a monthly ticket!

"The Tokugawa Shogunate is the only legal government in Japan!"

"As the military and political authority of Ming Dynasty, which has a long-term friendly and cooperative relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate, it is necessary for us to help maintain political stability and social order in our allies!"

"The Nanzhong Army assists the Japanese country in its defense, and helps the Japanese country eliminate the Nanman cult!"

On the boat that was rushing back to Edo day and night, Matsudaira Nobutsuna opened the copy of the document, glanced at it hastily, and immediately felt his eyes heat up.Tears were almost streaming down my face.

The title of the document is the opening statement, announcing the orthodox legal status of the Tokugawa shogunate, and later expressing its attitude towards the Shimabara Rebellion and the Kyushu unrest.

Walking outside the cabin, facing the strong sea wind, I looked at the fleet in the distance. The large cargo ship like a hill, with its waterline pressed down extremely low, was struggling to move forward against the sea wind.These dozens of large ships were all filled with high-quality japonica rice, white sugar, cotton cloth, etc. In name, the general asked the general to forward them to His Majesty the Emperor, but in fact it was also a kind of comfort to the Tokugawa family.

"20 stones are good polished round-grained rice, and [-] Guantong treasures, hum! When has the public ever been so rich?"

A Feng Xing on the side snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for the poor Emperor's family and the public officials composed of their ministers.

Indeed, the Emperor's economic strength was not even that of a middling daimyo.A mid-level daimyo still earns hundreds of thousands of shigao a year, but the poor emperor doesn't even have these.Otherwise, the purple clothes incident would not have happened.

After being blown by the sea breeze for a while, it cleared up the mind a little bit.The old middle school Matsudaira, who was nicknamed Sansanlang, continued to read the document in his cabin.

At the beginning of the treaty, the purpose and significance of signing this document are stated.

"The nationals of either contracting party have the right to live, travel and engage in various occupations such as commerce, industry, culture, education, and religion throughout the territory of the other contracting party, as well as the right to explore and develop mineral resources, and to lease and hold land; enjoy national treatment.

The goods of this Party shall enjoy treatment in the other Party no less favorable than that of any third country and the goods of that Party's own country, and this Party shall "shall not impose any prohibition or restriction on the importation of any article from the other Party, or any article shipped from this Party to the other Party."Vessels of this side may navigate freely in any port, place or territorial water opened by the other side, and their personnel and goods have the freedom to pass through the territory of the other side by the "most convenient route"; ships of this side, including warships, may, when encountering " In case of any distress", enter any port, place or territorial water of the other side which is closed to foreign commerce or navigation. "

"For my shogunate, this is simply a wishful thing!" After reading this, Matsudaira couldn't help sighing. "God Amaterasu bless you! My Tokugawa family still has hundreds of years of luck!"

Then there are some detailed terms.The only legal government that recognizes Japan is the Shogunate Shogunate led by Tokugawa Iemitsu.Has the right to sign all treaties related to the Nanzhong Army on behalf of Japan, and the Nanzhong Army shall not sign treaties with any daimyo or forces claiming to represent Japan.

Japan recognized Kuyi Island as the territory of Ming Dynasty, which was under the jurisdiction of the South China Army.Nanzhong has the privileges of living, traveling, operating industry and commerce, and mining in Shikoku, Honshu, and Ezo Island.

Various products produced in Japan are sold by the Tokugawa shogunate to the Nanzhong Army General's Office.Nanzhong Army shall not entrust or purchase relevant special products from any famous brand.Including seafood, agricultural products, forestry products, handmade products, mineral products, etc.

All harbors and islands along the coast of Japan have the right to berth and anchor.The shogunate must provide relevant convenience.Hire manpower for construction.

The Nanzhong Army is not allowed to sell weapons or products that can be used for military purposes and daimyo in Japan.For buyers.A license issued by the Shogunate Tokugawa is required.

Anyone who buys military equipment from the South China Army.The Nanzhong Army is obliged to provide services such as education and training for the armed forces belonging to the shogunate and daimyo, and provide relevant upgrading and transformation services. The relevant expenses incurred shall be paid by the owner of the equipment.

If Japan needs to build an arsenal, etc.The South China Army is obliged to help with the construction.At the same time, in order to prevent the Nanman cult from spreading in Japan, the Nanzhong Army is obliged to assist Japan in repatriating the Nanman people who travel to and from Japan.

At the same time, the Nanzhong Army can have the priority to mine, build seaports and shipyards, and build roads in Shikoku, Kyushu, and Honshu.If a third party wants to build or mine in the above-mentioned areas, the shogunate is obliged to consult the Nanzhong Army authorities first.

In order to ensure the implementation of the above clauses, the Nanzhong Army has the responsibility and obligation to assist the Tokugawa shogunate to completely wipe out the rebels and religious bandits that plagued the Kyushu area, and to ban all Nanban items (books, pictures, personnel, medicines, and ships) in Japan. , implements, weapons) etc.And assisted the shogunate to exile those related to the rebels.

After the rebellion was put down, the Nanzhong Army was not allowed to claim land in the Kyushu area, or to increase land and rock heights for daimyo in Japan.After the Kyushu Rebellion was put down, Kyushu belonged directly to General Tokugawa!

If he hadn't taken over this document from Li Huayu himself, Matsudaira Nobutsuna would not have believed that this document came from the Nanzhong Army even if he killed him.

The terms and conditions are all for the Japanese side, or for the Tokugawa shogunate.

Even Kyushu, which is tens of thousands of miles away, is going to be directly under the general's territory. Although there are not many stones produced here, if it belongs to the general alone, then the general's strength will increase several times compared to now!

"When you were in Guangzhou and Nanzhong, did you ever hear that a famous princess from my Tokugawa family was in Master Li's harem?"

When I asked Congren about this, Songping Laozhong felt it was funny. If there is a famous daughter married to Li Shouhan as a concubine, even if she is a big girl, then this cheap old man can also aspire to the top in Japan. Take a look at the status of the people in the world!Why bother to go to such lengths?

But, apart from that, there is no other explanation.Look at the one in Siam, didn't it mean that the two daughters married Li Shouhan, and now he has the title of the Celestial Dynasty, and there are countless silver coins in the account every year, and his life is more comfortable than that of the King of Siam.

Ugh!

"Can the boat go any faster?"

Anxious to report the good news to the worried General Iemitsu in Edo Castle, Mr. Matsudaira kept urging the sailors to speed up.

"It's already full sail. Can't go any faster!"

"I don't care! The sails are full. You organize people to paddle for me!"

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the 11th year of Chongzhen, the pier in Xiaguan, Honshu was crowded with people and flags were flying.

Countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries from five or more ranks gathered here, waiting to welcome the arrival of the army of the dynasty.

Although the sea breeze was fierce, the daimyo, banner, old middleman, and Fengxing did not dare to neglect at all.There is no other reason. Behind them, the banners of Emperor Meizheng Xingzi and General Tokugawa Iemitsu are erected.

Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi?That's right!It is a woman, the penultimate female emperor in Japanese history.Daughter of Emperor Gomizuo.A prince within.

Originally, Xingzi could live the life of her imperial concubine peacefully.But shortly after she was born, the famous "Purple Clothes Incident" happened.

"Purple clothing" is a symbol of honor and status awarded to monks. It is clearly stipulated in "Forbidden China and Public Laws" that the imperial court cannot grant purple clothing privately, but granting purple clothing to monks is a major source of income for the imperial court, so her poor and crazy His father, Emperor Mizuo, bestowed purple clothes on more than 70 monks at one time.certainly.Such actions need not be solely economic considerations.It is also an attempt to challenge the authority of the shogunate.so.The response of the Tokugawa shogunate was also very fast. In 1627, Tokugawa Iemitsu instructed Itakura Shigemune, the governor of the Kyoto office, to announce.From now on, anyone who violates the provisions on purple clothes in the "Public Laws" will be removed from office and punished.The imperial court said: "In short, we will not do such invalid things again in the future."

This game between the public and the samurai ended with the victory of the gun.

However, just like Yang Naiwu and Xiaobaicai came after Zhang Wenxiang stabbed the horse, it is not indecent to come and go.Then the "Kasuga Bureau Visit Incident" broke out.Anyone who is familiar with the "Ambition" series of games will be familiar with Kasuga Bureau.She is the daughter of Saito Toshizo and the nurse of the third general Tokugawa Iemitsu. Not long after the "Purple Clothes Incident" happened, the Kasuga Bureau came to Beijing to meet Emperor Mizuo at the behest of the shogunate. However, it has always been stipulated that only people with official positions above the "five ranks" can enter the palace to pay homage to the Emperor.As an old lady of the shogunate, it is impossible for Kasuga Bureau to have more than five official positions, but under the pressure of the shogunate, Emperor Gomizuo had to meet her.

Soon after these two incidents, Emperor Gomizuo himself felt useless, so he simply abdicated and let his daughter of the Tokugawa family, Prince Xingzi, who was only seven years old, ascend the throne as the emperor.Became the spokesperson of the gods in the world.

However, the projection of the gods in the world also needs food and clothing.

After receiving 20 koku of good japonica rice, (don’t ask me why it changed from [-] koku to [-] koku, do you understand the drift and loss?) Under the support of the public and ministers, Emperor Mingzheng Xingzi Come to meet this Young Marshal Li.

And Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third-generation shogunate, after reading the text of the treaty brought back by Matsudaira Nobutsuna, decided with tears in his eyes to personally meet this man who helped the Tokugawa shogunate in times of crisis and had the promise of life and death. The son of General Li Dayi.

By the way, I signed the "Nanwa Friendship, Trade and Navigation Agreement" in front of dozens of names from Honshu and Shikoku at the Shimonoseki Wharf.

"Ah! It's a pity that the Nanzhong Army only requires a few ports as treaty ports, and the shogunate must designate them. What should we do? All these princes are eager to turn their ports into treaty ports! "

The treaty clearly stipulates that the Kuan Yong Suo Guo Decree must be strictly implemented, and the fallacies and heresies of the Southern Man should be kept out of the pure land of the Kingdom of God.Many terms were considered entirely from the perspective of the Tokugawa family.General Iemitsu couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that his grandfather said he was sick and did not go to North Korea to fight. What a correct and wise move!

A few days ago, I received an urgent report from the family on Tsushima Island that the fleet of Marshal Li has already assembled in Ryukyu, Taiwan and other places, and will arrive in Tsushima Island in a few days. General please arrange for the reception.As a result, dozens of daimyo from Shikoku and Honshu were drawn to welcome them.And as a spectator, watch the signing ceremony.

"My Tokugawa family signed such a covenant with the Nanzhong Army. Let's see how this group of people with two heads will make a choice!"

These were the vicious words of Matsudaira after giving General Iemitsu this idea.

"I'm coming!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and several black spots appeared between the sea and the sky.A few minutes later, the white sail became bigger and bigger and closer.

In a blink of an eye, several brigantines rushed to the pier brutally, and searched the clean water that had already been cleaned up.Seeing these naval ships of the South China Army showing off their might so much, I couldn't help but feel a little angry in the hearts of the pro-vassal and genealogical daimyos, and they were about to explode. The emperor and generals in the Jianjing Palace all looked the same.Also had to give up resentfully.

After eight brigantines controlled the entire water surface of Shimonoseki.Four troop carriers escorted a larger ship and appeared beside the trestle.People knew from the flag hanging high on the mast that this was Marshal Li's ship.

On the side of the big ship, a small boat hangs the emblem of the Tsushima Island clan, like a hyena next to a lion.The fox pretends to be the tiger.

Several senior middlemen headed by Matsudaira Nobuzuna.Immediately greet those present.According to Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi's etiquette for welcoming the Great Angel back then, he got up and knelt on the dock to welcome Young Marshal Li.

Amidst the sound of drums, a torrent of steel rushed up the pier.The armor and robes on the people almost dazzled the eyes of all the adults present.

If you can use embroidered pillows for Yijia swords and guns, you can use such words to comfort yourself, but those large and small cannons, which are called by the Japanese as big tubes and Guobeng cannons, make the eyes of all the warriors dizzy. straight.

"General Li, full match!"

"General Li, mighty!"

"Mighty! Full match!"

The brilliant daimyos and banners were the first to shout slogans, and the loudest ones were actually a few foreign daimyos.

Amidst the sound of drums and cheers, eight hundred infantry flew onto the pier, and after the formation was completed, there were two large square formations of 400 people, each with 400 rows in the horizontal and vertical rows, as neat as cutting with knives and axes.Immediately afterwards, another [-] troops landed and lined up. Different from the above-mentioned troops, this generation all wore boots and long knives at their waists. They were [-] cavalry, but there were no horses for the time being.

The horses of these cavalry were provided by the shogunate.This point was explained when reporting to Ma Zong's family.Although Japan does not produce good horses, the native war horses are not much higher than dogs, and they are a good match for the Japanese of this era.However, after searching the personal stables of various daimyos and officials, four or five hundred good horses can still be gathered.

The [-] gunners were on the side of the cavalry team. Considering that the transportation was more troublesome, some big guys were not unloaded from the ship, only the big Franglers were unloaded and lined up in front.

All the phalanxes were silent amidst the sound of waves beating on the embankment and the sound of welcome drums, except for the occasional flapping sound of the skirts being rolled up by the sea wind.

The mighty and majestic military appearance reminded the adults of the Wu family of a legendary army.

According to old legends, there was such an army back then, which never lost against thousands of warriors. Instead, the heads of countless warriors were chopped off by them, and they became the heads of their military exploits, and their souls became lonely ghosts who could not be reincarnated.This army has a lineup and military discipline that can stand in the torrential rain for several hours without moving.

"After you go back, hurry up and put away the flags of the Western Army you found in the warehouse! Don't get yourself burned!"

Just now, one of the big names who took the lead in shouting slogans to welcome Li Huayu was secretly lucky after seeing the army formation.It was decided that it would be more appropriate to unswervingly unite and crusade against the rebellion of the Shimadzu family under the banner of the Tokugawa shogunate.

As for the flags of the Western Army, they are still in the basement, waiting to be handed over to grandson!

After flaunting his might, Li Huayu, accompanied by several accompanying generals, appeared in the sight of everyone.

"Congratulations to the Great Tomorrow Envoy!"

According to the domestic rules of Japan, the so-called emperor cannot be seen, and the princes cannot look up. The people present, under the leadership of Matsudaira Nobuzuna and several other shogunate elders, knelt down on the ground and looked down at Li. Hua Yu's boots were tipped, and he sang in his mouth to greet Young Marshal Li who came to conquer the traitors and bandits.

"Who is kneeling down?"

A Ming Dynasty official phrase with a strong Japanese taste floated above his head.Although everyone knelt on the ground, they knew who the speaker was without asking.

The head of the Tsushima family, who was dressed as a military officer of the Ming Dynasty, didn't care about the curses in the hearts of his colleagues, and he didn't even hear the people's constant greetings to his ancestors and female relatives in the family.

How dare you not bow your head under the eaves?Everyone had no choice but to secretly cast their eyes on Mr. Matsudaira Nobuzuna, who was obviously the leader of the welcoming ceremony.

On the other hand, Song Ping, an old middle schooler, is quite self-cultivated.Hearing this, he didn't take it seriously, but announced his official position and rank loudly.

After that, in the order of one from the public family and one from the Wu family, all the people present reported their official titles, titles, etc. in turn.

Dozens of Kwantung princes and generals directly under Banner Headquarters, senior and middle-ranking military officials, and public officials have completed their registration one by one, and the Patriarch of the clan said something with an annoying face.

"Get up!"

Then, he hunched his back and turned to Li Huayu, who was surrounded by stars and the moon in the crowd, and said with a smile, "I tell the young commander, a group of civil and military officials from the Japanese country are coming to welcome the young commander. Please show me, the young commander." ?”

"Everyone has worked hard. How can Huayu Hede dare to work, and the adults are here to welcome you?"

After all, he is a child of a family, and Hua Yu's demeanor made everyone feel much more at ease.

"My lords, please rise up."

Hua Yu raised his hand in the air, and all civil and military officials stood up after kowtowing and thanking Mr. Songping under the leadership of Mr. Songping.

"Your Highness, I've been through a lot of hardships all the way, and I would like to send my greetings on behalf of my colleagues."

As an acquaintance, Matsudaira Nobutsuna used this vague but meaningful title to call Li Huayu. (To be continued..)
