Article 4: The Japanese country must bear the Ming Dynasty¡¯s military expenses this time. A total of fifteen million taels of silver must be paid to the Ming Dynasty for military expenses, which can be paid in installments.
Seeing this, the Japanese king, the shogun, the shogunate ministers and many daimyo were dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Some people even couldn't help but rub their eyes, unable to believe what they saw.
The Ming Dynasty actually asked them for military expenses and war reparations, and the lion opened his mouth and asked for fifteen million taels of silver. He really thought that the Japanese were just taken advantage of and could be killed at will.
But this is not the key. The key is that in the eyes of the surrounding vassal states, the Ming Dynasty has always been a model of self-sacrifice for others. The vassal states went to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was always afraid that the vassal states would lose, and would return several times the amount each time.
Therefore, in everyone¡¯s minds, the image of Ming Dynasty as a good old man is deeply rooted in people¡¯s bones.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to benevolence and righteousness, and Confucianism has basically dominated the external world. Therefore, everyone feels that even if the Ming Dynasty proposes conditions for peace talks, it will at most be an order to the Japanese country, and then some benevolence and righteousness. In other words, the demeanor of the Ming Dynasty on the surface reminds the Japanese country not to mess around, and that's it at most.
Who would have known that Ming Dynasty would now ask them to pay compensation, and even ask them to pay fifteen million taels of silver? This is really beyond everyone's expectation.
"Master Zhang, Master Liu~"
"The Ming Dynasty is a superior country and has always treated our vassal country with great courtesy. Why does it want us to pay compensation?"
Hosokawa Masayu widened his eyes and said to Zhang Mao and Liu Jin.
"Yes, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerain state of our Japanese state. How can it embarrass our vassal state because of this little money?"
Yin Shizhongzhen couldn¡¯t believe it, and at the same time he was sweating on his forehead. If he really had to pay fifteen million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate would be completely pauper.
"Is this still a vassal state of our Japanese state?"
"How come you value profit over righteousness?"
"Yes, yes, Ming Dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, how could this happen?"
Many big names also nodded and expressed their opinions. If the compensation of 15 million taels of silver fell to the entire Japanese country, how could these big names escape? They would have to share some of it. Thinking of this, these big names Also anxious.
"Of course our Ming Dynasty is benevolent and righteous, and we have always been extremely benevolent and righteous towards our vassal states of the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Jin glanced at them coldly and said, "But some people don't take our Ming Dynasty's benevolence and righteousness to heart, so naturally we don't need to be benevolent and righteous to them."
"They clearly know that our Ming Dynasty is the suzerain country, but they still impose heavy taxes on our Ming Dynasty merchants and kill our Ming Dynasty merchants. In this regard, we, the Ming Dynasty, are not at all in sight."
"Since there is no Ming Dynasty, there is no need for our Ming Dynasty to be too benevolent and righteous."
"If you, the Japanese country, had not done these things, our Ming army would naturally not have come to the Japanese country. Therefore, you, the Japanese country, are solely to blame for all this."
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, everyone fell silent again.
To be honest, many Japanese people do not think that the Ming Dynasty is their suzerain country, and there is no Ming Dynasty in their eyes. The two countries are separated by the sea, and communication is inconvenient. No matter how big the Ming Dynasty is, what can you do?
"If the Ming army hadn't come to the Japanese side this time and taught these Japanese people a severe lesson, most of the Japanese people wouldn't think much of the Ming Dynasty.
The names of those who wanted to impose heavy taxes on the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to plunder the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were not just one family or two families. Some simply did not have the conditions and strength because they were located in remote locations.
In the past, they really lacked awe for the Ming Dynasty.
"But, sir, is this fifteen million taels of silver too much?"
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Hosokawa Masamoto thought about it and said bravely, it seems that compensation is unavoidable, so he can only see if he can pay less.
"Is it much?"
"I don't think it's much at all. Our Ming Dynasty dispatched 50,000 troops. These people eat horses and chew them. There are also the artillery we expended and the soldiers who died in battle. A mere fifteen million taels of silver is not much at all."
Liu Jin looked at Hosokawa Masamoto and said.
"Sir, having said that, we can't use fifteen million taels of silver. What's more, our Japanese country is not as good as the Ming Dynasty. Our Japanese country is small and has few resources. How can we have so much silver to compensate the Ming Dynasty?"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By Liu Jin glanced at Hosokawa Masamoto, and his whole person felt creepy, and his voice became a little weaker?In hand.
When the time comes, Ming will eat large pieces of cake, and just give these vassal countries a little head is enough to kill them. After all, they are a small country, and just demarcating a piece of land is enough to make them smile from ear to ear.
In addition, Liu Jin is also laying the foundation for the future world.
Because he traveled back in time, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Ming Dynasty. The future that Liu Jin can see is that the two civilizations of the East and the West are competing for hegemony over the entire world.
There are many countries in the Western world, with Western civilization as the core.
On the east side, it is natural to have the Ming Dynasty as the core, plus this vassal state, and the Eastern Chinese civilization as the core. In this way, in the future competition process, it will not be weak.
Why do Australia, Canada, and even some very small countries in future generations not care about us? In fact, it is not because they are the most powerful countries, but because they are not as powerful as the most powerful Bald Eagle, John Bull, and Gallic Chicken. It is a family, all members of their core of Western values.
Liu Jin saw this, so he must now start working hard to build the Eastern core camp with the Ming Dynasty as the main force.
??Whether it is Japan, Korea, Annan, or Siam, they will not care about us in future generations, and even hurt us, but the key point is that we are weak and our strength is not enough.
If we are strong, they will still be our loyal little brothers. In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence. When you are strong, the world will open a way for you. Naturally, if you are not strong, even a grain of sand will block your steps.
Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, the senior officials of the Japanese state present suddenly believed Liu Jin¡¯s words and believed that Ming Dynasty really had no interest in the Japanese state.
The cession of Ishimi and the leasing of Hyogozu were really to protect Ming merchants and to teach the Japanese a lesson. As for the annexation of the Japanese, it seemed that it was really unnecessary.
Because the world is very big, there are too many rich areas waiting for the Ming Dynasty to conquer. It seems that there is really nothing in the poor and remote country of Japan that is worthy of the Ming Dynasty to annex.
At the same time, everyone¡¯s minds are also alive. Regarding the world outside the Ming Dynasty, everyone has heard a lot from the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. Many people also yearn for the world outside the Ming Dynasty.
"It's just that due to limited strength, there is no way to contact him. Now Daming is willing to take everyone to play, which is naturally the best."
The Golden Continent is full of gold, Africa is full of gems and ivory, and silk and porcelain are the golden Europe Thinking of this, some ambitious Japanese lords couldn't help but become jealous.
"Let me go~ This brat Liu Jin is so good at deceiving people. He is trying to trick the Japanese people into death. Africa and Europe are thousands of miles away, but they can actually pull out the cakes. I am really convinced~"
Zhang Mao couldn't help but give Liu Jin a thumbs up in his heart. This man is shameless and can do anything sincerely. Liu Jin is so good at deceiving people.
"This is a good idea. When the Ming Dynasty conquers the world, it can indeed bring vassal states such as Japan and Korea with it. The world is huge and we, the Ming Dynasty, can't eat it all. It would be good for everyone to share a share."
Wang Shouren also nodded directly to Liu Jin's proposal. This is possible. Compared with other countries, the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty are closer to each other.
