The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1294 Treaty of Shimonoseki
Liu Yin chose Maguan as the venue for conferences and negotiations. In fact, this place has left Liu Yin with a deep and painful memory. Not only Liu Yin, but every descendant of Yan and Huang have deep-rooted pain for this place. Today Liu Yin is determined to Return all the humiliation suffered by future generations, and sign a "Treaty of Shimonoseki" that can humiliate the Japanese for 2000 years at Shimonoseki.

As the special envoy of King Yong, Chen Shou, accompanied by Sun Xiu, sailed slowly into the Maguan Strait on the largest warship that was the flagship of the Han army.On the side of this warship, two big Chinese characters are engraved: "Sunset", so this warship is called "Sunset".

The Sunset was named by Liu Yin himself. As for why it was called the Sunset, Liu Yin didn't tell anyone, so everyone was at a loss.Some people speculate that Liu Yin likes the beauty of the sunset, so he named this warship the Sunset, but if he likes the sunset, he can call it the Sunset or the Wanxia. If it is a bit poetic, he can also call it the Sangyu, but it is called The setting sun, straight and white, makes people feel deeply inexplicable.

The Maguan Strait, which was originally remote and desolate, is now very lively. On its south bank are the new kings of Yamato and Gonu, as well as the heads of their small vassal states. The owners of several small countries on Honshu Island have already received orders and are waiting for King Yong's special envoy in the Maguan Strait.

Now the various kings of the Wa Kingdom have long lost the domineering and domineering demeanor of the kings in the past. They are all humble and trembling, as if they are waiting for the final judgment on their fate.

After the sunset warship sailed into the Maguan Strait, it did not stop at the shore, but parked in the sea near the south bank.Soon an official came by boat and issued an order: "My lord special envoy has an order, please go to the setting sun."

It turned out that the place chosen by the Han people for negotiation was on a warship. The rulers of various countries suddenly realized that, of course, they were not qualified to pick and choose whether it was on the shore or on the ship.With the help of the Han army, these lords and accompanying envoys boarded the boat prepared for them and sailed to the sunset.

The Sunset is the largest of the ships built by the Han army, bigger than the other warships. Even though the rulers of the Japanese kingdom lived near the sea, the Japanese people would often go fishing in the sea. Nothing unusual.But it was the first time in their life that they saw such a huge ship as the Sunset, and they were astonished as well as amazed.

The ability of the Han army to cross the sea shows that their shipbuilding ability is far superior to that of the Japanese. They have never seen it before, and they can only guess at most. Seeing such a huge warship today, these kings can't help but lament that their loss is not wrong. , Competing against a huge opponent like a big man, they are completely overestimating their capabilities.

The deck of the Sunset was covered with thick carpets. Chen Shou sat leisurely behind a few desks, watching the lords and envoys of the Wa Kingdoms file in, but nodded slightly, and did not get up to greet them.

As the envoy of the upper kingdom, the king of Yong Liu Yin represented by Chen Shou naturally did not need to give equal gifts to these defeated countries. Instead, the lords and envoys of each country, after boarding the deck, under the guidance of the attendants, followed their own rules. seat, sat down, and respectfully saluted him, without daring to neglect him at all.

Chen Shou sat in the middle, Yan Xun and Sun Xiu accompanied him on the left and right. Chen Shou took a document and read it loudly with the air of looking down on everyone.

Some of these lords of the Wa Kingdom could understand Chinese, and even if they couldn't understand, there was an interpreter by their side to translate Chen Shou's original words.As Chen Shou continued to read every sentence, the faces of these people became more and more ugly.

Although they had made sufficient psychological preparations in advance, they expressed considerable shock when all the Wa people from Chikushi Island, Iyo Island, and Honshu Island were relocated to Ezo Island.

Ezo Island (later called Hokkaido Island) is the northernmost island among the four islands of Japan. Although its area is larger than that of Chikushi Island and Iyo Island, the climate there is cold and the environment is harsh. Except for the survival of the Nu people, there is almost a wasteland there. If all the Japanese people are relocated to Ezo Island, what is the difference between that and genocide?
Some state leaders expressed strong dissatisfaction and expressed their refusal to accept such a relocation plan.

Chen Shou glanced at them contemptuously, and said: "King Yong will not force any of you, but if you refuse to sign the treaty, then you will be regarded as the enemy of the big man. You can go back and gather your people and tribes to fight with you My big fellow's army will fight to the death. There is only one chance today, and if you give up this chance, you will lose this chance forever."

Although Chen Shou's words were plain, but to the ears of the lords, they shuddered. If they really had the strength to fight again, how could they sit here servilely? Those who should fight should have fought long ago. They The army they owned had long since been wiped out, and now among the countries of Wodi, they have long since lost the power to fight again. Chen Shou's words are very clear. If he refuses to sign, he is an enemy equivalent to a big man. And the end of the enemy will undoubtedly be complete extinction.

Although the way to come and go is very free, these people knelt there, and they didn't even have the courage to take a step, because they knew that if they left here, they would lose their way of life, and if they stayed here, they could linger on their last days.

However, 1 people were unwilling to let him move to Ezo Island. Although most of them had never been to Ezo Island in their life, everyone knew about the dangerous natural environment there. I don't know.

Many kings wept in confusion, knelt down and begged Chen Shou to take back his life. They could accept other harsh conditions, but they refused to immigrate to Ezo Island.

Chen Shou naturally rejected it without mercy. This was an order issued by Liu Yin, and it was the only order that must be carried out unconditionally. If the Japanese wanted to survive, they had to immigrate to Ezo Island.

"King Yong's tolerance and generosity allow you to have a place of self-government. At the same time, King Yong will also give you a certain amount of food and supplies to ensure that you can live well on Ezo Island. But if you don't If you know good from bad, you can completely ignore King Yong’s kindness. You can choose for yourself, of course, there is a time limit, and if you haven’t signed it before sunset, you will never see this treaty again .”
