------------

The emperor's envoy left Kyoto and headed for the island of Kyushu.Device: no ads, full text, more

Before leaving, the emperor told him that the bottom line of the negotiation was not to enter the main island of Japan.As long as you don't enter the island, you can agree to any conditions.

"The invaders of the Central Plains, how can we satisfy their appetite?" the emperor's envoy Koizumi Akino murmured.

"My lord, I really can't figure it out, why are we negotiating with them? As long as they enter the island, each of us will die with them!" the priest following Koizumi Akino said angrily.

"To die together? It's easy to say, but can you be sure that everyone can do it? Of course the samurai can do it, but what about the farmers? Those farmers who have been doing farm work for many years in the field, do you think they will do it for His Majesty the Emperor?" Allegiance?" Koizumi Akino snorted coldly.

"This..." The host was speechless.

In this era of Japan, those samurai received bushido spiritual education from childhood, and had the spirit of dying with the enemy, but the peasants at the bottom were the same as the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty, or even worse than the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty.In order to facilitate oppression, the emperor and daimyo from all over the world constantly taught the peasants to "be patient". It can be said that "patience" has become the spiritual pillar of the low-level farmers in Japan. They will use "patience" to deal with any suffering.Hope that such a group of people will die together with the enemy is obviously a bit whimsical.

This is not only true of the main island, but also of Kyushu Island.After Liangshan occupied Kyushu Island, there was almost no resistance, which is completely different from Goryeo.In Koryo, even now, under the brainwashing education, there are still some rebels roaming around. Liangshan has not wiped out all the rebels so far.

"I hope they don't want the lion to open its mouth!" Koizumi Akino sighed.

A group of one hundred of them rode tall horses, and a few days later they arrived at the Maguan Strait, from where they took a boat to Kyushu Island.

They had just set foot on Kyushu Island, and before they had a rest and inquired about Liangshan's situation, they were immediately surrounded by countless Liangshan troops. Countless spears were pointed at them, and the light from the spear tip made them tremble.

"Please don't do anything, we are the envoys of His Majesty the Emperor, come to see the general of the Central Plains!" Koizumi Akino stood up and said hastily.

What he spoke was standard Chinese, and his enunciation was clear, as if he had lived in the Central Plains for many years.

Japan in this era, like Goryeo, also longed for the Central Plains culture, and there were many people who studied the Central Plains culture in their country.Among the Japanese aristocrats, there are not a few who can speak Chinese, and Koizumi Akino is obviously a former aristocrat.

"The emperor's envoy?" The soldiers of the Liangshan army couldn't help being stunned, and then a battalion commander came out and said, "Come with us!"

Wu Dong, Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen and others have all returned to the Central Plains, and now only Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Ximenqing and others are staying here.Hearing the arrival of the emperor's envoy, Wu Yong and the others were overjoyed, knowing that the Dongying people were going to negotiate with them.

In the daimyo's mansion in Fukuoka Castle, Wu Yong received the envoy of the emperor with three people.

"Which one is the Central Plains General?" Koizumi Akino knelt down on the ground and asked respectfully.

"General? None of us are generals, but we are now in charge of all the affairs of Kyushu Island." Wu Yong said.

"Since the three of you are in charge of Kyushu affairs, that would be great. His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to come here and ask my lords, when will your lords be able to withdraw from Kyushu Island?" Koizumi Akino said.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to withdraw from Kyushu Island." Wu Yong sneered.

"Why is this? You are all troops from the Central Plains. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time? As far as I know, the Central Plains is also facing the threat of barbarians from the north. How can your army be stationed here for a long time?" Koizumi Akino road.

"I'm afraid you don't know our identities yet! Although we are from the Central Plains, we are not subordinates of the Song court, we are subordinates of King Liang." Wu Yong said with a smile.

At this moment, they had arranged for Akino Koizumi to sit down, and someone handed him tea, which was made from the famous Yuqian Longjing in the Central Plains, and a fresh fragrance floated in the room immediately.

"Good tea! Only the Kingdom of Heaven has such good tea! Who is King Liang?" Koizumi Akino said.

"Who is King Liang, you don't need to know. You just need to understand that our army will not leave Kyushu Island for the time being!" Wu Yong said.

Ichiro Koizumi frowned slightly. It seemed that these people's attitudes were very firm, and it was impossible to get them out of Kyushu Island.Now the only option is to let them not enter the main island of Japan.

What followed was a lengthy negotiation. It took three full days before the negotiation came to a rough result.

First, Japan ceded Kyushu Island and nearby islands, but Liangshan's army must not enter Japan's main island.

Second, because the daimyo of Kyushu Island violated the interests of the Liangshan business group, the Japanese side is willing to make compensation. The specific amount of compensation is 1000 million silver.

Third, Liangshan merchants are allowed to do business freely in the Japanese main island. Liangshan merchants enjoy criminal immunity and tax exemption on the Japanese main island.

In addition to these three items, there are many subsidiary conditions. For example, Ximenqing must compensate Ximenqing himself for being punished by the Japanese daimyo, and he must also compensate Liangshan with [-] exquisite samurai swords. There are many conditions for merchants to hire local craftsmen and so on.

Koizumi Akino looked at the Kyushu Treaty in front of him with an extremely ugly face, but in the end he signed his name.

Three days later, Koizumi Akino left Kyushu Island and returned to Kyoto. He needed to submit the treaty to His Majesty the Emperor, and the treaty could only come into force after the emperor's yu seal was obtained.

After the content of the treaty spread to Kyoto, the nobles and warriors in Kyoto were all outraged. These nobles and warriors knelt in front of the palace door one after another, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would not agree to this condition.

"Master Konoe, are the subjects quite dissatisfied?" the Emperor asked worriedly.

"This is something that can't be helped. Ceding Kyushu Island is always better than destroying the country? Do they have to wait until Dongpu is wiped out by the Central Plains invaders before they are satisfied?" Konoe Shijia said coldly.

"But, how should I explain to the people?" The emperor frowned.

"Tell the people to be patient! Let all the people be patient for ten years, after ten years we will definitely regain Kyushu Island!" Konoe Seika said.

"Ten years later? Is there anything Konoe can do?" the emperor asked hastily.

"In the past ten years, we must call up a large number of warriors to form a real army, and then fight to the death with the invaders of the Central Plains." Konoe Shiga said.

"I don't know how many samurai to call?" asked the emperor.

"Call 30 to 50 warriors!" Konoe Sega said.

"What? So many? With our national strength, we can't support so many samurai at all? Besides, the big names from all over the world might not agree?" the emperor said in disbelief.

"The army of the Central Plains is extremely powerful. Without so many warriors, it is impossible to repel them! As for the national strength, it must be able to support so many warriors! At most, some peasants will starve to death, but even if there are many peasants who starve to death, they will still be able to fight back." Guarantee the rations of the samurai! Daimyo from all over the world, if they disagree, then destroy them! This time, in order to deal with the invaders in the Central Plains, all the samurai of the daimyo from all over the place were basically killed. Under my control, it is also very easy to eliminate those daimyos." Said Konoe Sega.

Emperor Toba stood up, pushed the door open, his eyes were full of worry, he didn't know whether what Konoe Sega said was right or wrong, and he didn't know whether he should sign the Kyushu treaty that forfeited power and humiliated the country.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Konoe Sega urged.

"Alright, I'll sign the Treaty of Kyushu!" the Emperor gritted his teeth and said.

Soon, the Treaty of Kyushu was signed.It is easy to cede Kyushu Island. Anyway, Kyushu Island is now occupied by the Liangshan army.However, the 1000 million war compensation is not a simple matter. Even if there are several silver mines in Japan, it is very difficult to collect enough silver.

"Tell me, how to solve the Baiyin matter?" Emperor Toba summoned the officials and asked.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 300 pieces of silver!" A minister stood up and said.

"I would like to donate 10 to one minister said.

The rest of the ministers stood up one after another, all talking about hundreds or dozens of guan, this point of silver was simply not up to the amount Liang Shan required.

"Your Majesty, I thought war tax should be collected! Every citizen is obliged to pay war tax! If there is no silver, then use grain to make up for it! Didn't the invaders in the Central Plains say that grain can be used instead of silver? We have thousands Thousands of peasants, isn't it enough to collect tens of millions of silver?" Konoe Shika said.

Now Konoe Sega has been appointed by the emperor as a "general" and has become No. 1 in the court. When he opened his mouth, the rest of the ministers agreed.

Everyone agreed that Emperor Toba naturally had nothing to say, so he began to arrange for the collection of war taxes.

Because of the war tax, countless Japanese farmers lost their property, but the "endurance" of the Japanese is indeed not comparable to that of the people in the Central Plains, and none of them rebelled.If it were placed in the Central Plains, there would have been wars everywhere.

"Your Majesty, this is the information we just obtained about the invaders from the Central Plains! That King Liang is actually the King of Koryo!" In August, Konoe Sega came to the palace and handed over the information he had just obtained to Emperor Toba.

Emperor Toba looked at ten lines at a glance. After reading it, the worry in his heart became more serious, and said: "This King Liang, who just destroyed Goryeo, is now invading my Kyushu Island in Dongpu... I'm afraid his strength is getting stronger and stronger. After being strong, sooner or later the entire Japan will be occupied!"

Konoe Sega nodded and said: "So recruiting 30 to 50 samurai is a must. Besides, I have a strategy to deal with the Central Plains invaders."

Emperor Toba said: "I don't know what the plan is?"

A fierce light flashed in Konoe Shijia's eyes, and he said, "Our Dongying warriors are not afraid of death. We can select a group of powerful warriors, conduct special training, and then assassinate the king of Liangshan!"
