    In the Hyogo-no-tsu port area and outside the Ming army garrison area, Hosokawa Masamoto was waiting quietly with a huge team. Behind him were hundreds of carriages filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and rare items.  Rare treasure.

    Some of them were used to pay tribute to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, some were used to bribe the generals of the Ming army, and some were used to express Japan's apology. In short, this time he came well prepared and almost emptied the shogunate's treasury.  The amount of silver alone was as much as three million taels.

    There is no other way but to come over and sue for peace. If the fighting continues, the shogunate will really be doomed.

    Many wealthy families in the Kanto region were swept away by the army led by Wang Shouren. They were unable to protect themselves and had no way to send troops to help the shogunate.

    Here in China, according to the news received by the shogunate, just today, Zhou Fangguo, the ancestral land of the Ouchi family, was breached by the Ming army. Ouchi Yoshihiro was killed in the battle, and the Ouchi family was basically finished.

    The Nizi family and the Maori family had already hooked up with the Ming army a long time ago, and now they are eating pots of wine, using fine wine, delicious food, and beauties to reward the heavenly army of the suzerain country who came from afar.

    The daimyo of Kyushu and Shikoku were frightened, and the Seto Inland Sea was blocked. Even if they had the intention, they could only rely on the little organized power of the daimyo around the Kyoto area.

    But the shogunate did not dare to fight again. The 5,000 heavy troops of Hyogo no Tsu were gone in just one day. If they fight again, the tens of thousands of troops will not be killed by the Ming army. It is better to be wise and decisive.  Surrendering to the Ming Dynasty preserved the power of the shogunate and could also serve as a deterrent to the daimyo everywhere.

    Once Kyoto and Muromachi were captured by the Ming army, the last strength of the shogunate was gone, and the era of the Muromachi shogunate was truly over.

    "These should be built with cement. This cement is really magical. It is incredible that such a tall wall has been built in just a few days."

    Hosokawa Masamoto looked at the outer walls outside the Ming army camp. These outer walls were built in the past few days, using cement and building materials from the ruins of Hyogo no Tsu Port. Tens of thousands of troops  A five-meter-high wall was built easily.

    Naturally, the defensive power cannot be compared with that of a tall and thick city wall, but with a wall in front of it and a well-arranged fort, it can still easily defend against the enemy's attack.

    "The equipment of the Ming army is so sophisticated, and they are all wearing armor. The steel consumed in making these armors alone may not be enough for our entire Japanese country."

    ??Then Hosokawa Masamoto looked at the neatly arranged Ming troops wearing armor, and couldn't help but sigh.

    The production of steel in this era was very low. This was true for the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country, and even the entire world. Those who could afford to wear armor in the Japanese country were people with status and status, such as daimyo and generals.  , nobles and the like, ordinary samurai, ashigaru and the like are not qualified to wear armor at all.

    On the one hand, it is because of the privileges, but the more important reason is because the cost of armor is high and the production of steel is scarce. The price of steel is extremely expensive, and it is good for ordinary people to get a samurai sword.

    So when he saw all the Ming soldiers wearing armor made of steel, he couldn't help but sigh like this.

    "Those are artillery pieces~"

    Soon, his attention shifted to the cannons on the fort. The muzzles of the cannons were covered with cloth, and there were a large number of Ming troops guarding them.

    During the battle of Hyogo-no-jin, he received a detailed report. The Ming army did not have too much contact with you at all. The artillery on hundreds of warships opened fire at the same time, directly plowing the entire Hyogo-no-jin to the ground.

    So for such artillery, Hosokawa Masamoto couldn't help but be jealous. If he had hundreds of such artillery in his hands, it would be easy to deal with the Ming Dynasty everywhere.

    ??Perhaps at that time, the emperor can be coerced to order the princes, and finally learn from Sima Yi in the Three Kingdoms, and it is not impossible to change the dynasty.

    His thoughts were wandering a little far and he was thinking a little too much.

    But he didn¡¯t wait too long. At the military camp where the Ming army was stationed, the heavy wooden door was slowly opened, and groups of Ming soldiers came in neat steps.

    "Announcement of the Japanese envoy~"

    Then a eunuch accompanying the army walked out unhurriedly, looked at Hosokawa Masamoto and others, opened his throat, and shouted in a sharp voice.

    With the reform of the military system, civilian officials no longer command the army, but the eunuchs who accompany the army have not changed. The eunuchs who accompany the army represent the emperor, and their status is still very high, and they have the power of supervision in the military camp.

    &nbCome here on behalf of you Japanese people.

    The king of Japan was the nominal monarch of the Japanese country. During the Han Dynasty, he accepted the canonization from Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. Similarly, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he also accepted the canonization from the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Negotiations are impossible without the Japanese king.

    As for the shogunate, although the current shogunate general Ashikaga Yosumi is a puppet, the shogunate is now the de facto ruler in name. What can we do without the general conquering the barbarians?

    In order to prevent these Japanese people from not recognizing the peace talks in the future, Liu Jin also asked the daimyo from all over the country to participate in the peace talks. In this way, everyone would come, both in name and in fact.  Can truly represent Japan.

    Only then will the agreement signed by both parties be truly effective.

    "Yes, that's how it should be~"

    When Zhang Mao heard this, he nodded solemnly and said.

    Taking Liu Jin with him was indeed the right thing to do. If Zhang Mao had come by himself, he would probably have made peace with Hosokawa Masamoto in front of him if he had not considered this aspect. This would not only mean that he would lose his identity, but also  It was to make Daming lose his identity.

    He now represents the Ming Dynasty and is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to talk to him, then there must be an equal from Japan.

    This Hosokawa Masamoto is just a powerful minister, what qualifications does he have to represent the Japanese country, and what qualifications does he have to negotiate peace with himself.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Mao couldn't help but give Liu Jin a thumbs up in his heart.

    Liu Jin felt Zhang Mao's change and smiled slightly.

    "This kind of thing has basically become inertia in later generations. The exchanges between countries pay attention to reciprocity, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to in diplomacy. This kind of operation can only be regarded as a basic operation.

    Of course, this request made by Liu Jin was a bit embarrassing for the shogunate. The shogunate itself had weak control over the Japanese country. The shogunate's orders were ignored by the daimyo from all over the country. It was not easy to get the daimyo from all over the country to negotiate.

    But this is the rule. The Ming Dynasty is the suzerain state, and the Japanese state is a vassal state. It is a relationship between monarch and minister, so this airs must be put on. If no one of equal status comes over, you will never talk to them about anything.

    If you want to plead guilty, that's fine. Let your Japanese king and shogun come together. If they don't come, it's all nonsense. What qualifications do you have as a powerful minister to plead guilty, to represent the Japanese country, and even more to represent the Japanese country in peace.  Ming Dynasty negotiations.

    We don¡¯t recognize you at all.

    "this¡­"

    After listening to this, Hosokawa Masamoto suddenly started sweating on his forehead. The Liu Jin in front of him was really too difficult to deal with. It was just a negotiation, but a lot of things were pulled out.

    But if you think about it carefully, it seems that what Liu Jin said is correct. The identities of Zhang Mao and Liu Jin are here. Can they represent the Ming Dynasty? Can Hosokawa Masamoto represent the Japanese country?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
