- "Although this treaty is very uncomfortable, it is not unacceptable if you look at it carefully." Motonori coughed twice and broke it down for the retainers one by one:
"Let's look at the first item first. The Maori family gives up the navy. I have said before that we will not be able to rebuild the navy within a few years. Without the navy, we will naturally not be able to protect our ports, so do we agree to this item? It¡¯s not bad. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s fleet is willing to provide us with maritime protection, which is actually a stopgap measure.¡±
"Hmm" The retainers couldn't help but nod, as if this was really the case. Then some people deceived themselves and said with a smile: "Please ask people from the Ming Dynasty to be our guard dogs. What a pomp!"
"How can you talk about the Kingdom of Heaven like this?" someone asked hurriedly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I should say the distinguished watchdog," the man corrected.
"Hahaha!" All the retainers laughed. With a few words behind his back, he accepted the result that Haiphong would be handed over to others.
So, there is actually no essential difference between people from the Li Dynasty and Japan. For thousands of years around the Celestial Kingdom, the spirit of "seriousness" has long been ingrained in their bones. It's just that the former has been beaten more often and is more docile; the latter, across the sea, has to be taught a lesson before he can remember who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother.
"As for the second item, since you ask someone to be responsible for coastal defense, it is reasonable to pay money. If you ask someone to help fight the war, there is no reason not to pay." Mao Liyuan continued to explain:
"As for the third article, Yinqi Island has now surrendered to the remnants of Nizi to provide help to Shikanosuke. Even without this treaty, I will deal with them as soon as I free up my hands."
"Article 4: Opening up trade in Onsenjin is a good thing. Otherwise, if we want to purchase overseas materials, we can only go through merchants in Hakata or Sakai City. Those vampires even blackmail their allies, not to mention they are still hostile to us. So there are A treaty port that belongs to us has all the benefits and no harm."
After a pause, he continued: "As for the forty miles around Wenquanjin, it is basically mountainous and has no population, so it is not a big problem whether to station troops or not."
¡°But there¡¯s a lot of silver in a stone, my lord!¡± the retainers reminded.
?? Onsenjin is actually the outer port of Iwami Ginzan. Its main function is to serve as an export port for silver and an unloading dock for materials required for mine operations. Naturally, it is not too far away from Iwami Silver Mountain, less than twenty miles.
If this article is implemented, wouldn¡¯t it mean that the defenders of Iwami Yinshan must also be withdrawn?
The people of the Ming Dynasty must have had this idea, because Article 5 clearly stated that they should either pay five million taels as war compensation and ransom expenses, or hand over Iwami Yinshan!
Don¡¯t look at the fact that the Mori family occupies seven or eight large and small silver mountains such as Iwami Ginzan, Sato Ginzan, and Yamabuki Ginzan. But firstly, Japan's mining and refining technology is backward, and the output of Yinshan is limited; secondly, the Maori family has been fighting for years, spending a lot of money; thirdly, the Liangchuan system has limited control over each of its affiliated companies, so the Maori family can't even come up with one million taels now , let alone ten million taels.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Ming Dynasty people have a deep understanding of the Maori family, they must know that they absolutely cannot afford so much money, so naturally the only thing they want is to see the silver mountain.
"The annual output of Iwami Yinshan is one million taels of silver. After deducting the cost, it is an income of more than 800,000 taels a year. It will take twelve years to save ten million taels of silver." Mao Liyuan laughed at himself and said: "Besides, Shikanosuke continues to harass Ishimi. Before his influence is eliminated, it is impossible for Ginzan to produce normally. It is not completely unacceptable to give it to the Ming Dynasty first."
Although the other seven Ginzan¡¯s total output is less than half of Iwami Ginzan¡¯s. But it is much better than carrying a heavy debt of 10 million taels.
Furthermore, Japan during the Warring States Period was an era behind the Ming Dynasty in economic terms. Their main hard currency is rice. When buying and selling various materials, including weapons, you can pay directly with rice. Therefore, the main indicator to measure the strength of the daimyo kingdom is rice production, which is the so-called "stone high".
For Japanese daimyo, although silver and gold are valuable, they can only be used as gifts for business or diplomacy with wealthy merchants. Their practicality among ordinary people is not as good as rice, let alone copper coins. Therefore, neither Maori Yuan nor Otomo Zonglin regarded Ginshan as a lifeline that could not be separated. It's almost at the level of a finger
Although it hurts to have your finger chopped off, it is not life-threatening.
And the most important point is that the gross profit yuan is not mentioned. That is, in the eyes of the Sengoku daimyo, treaties are not absolutely indestructible. As long as the comparison of strength between one's side and the other side changes, the contract can be broken at any time as needed.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of date: How many dates have he made with Dayou Zonglin? Every time we are forced by the situation, we have to do it as a last resort. Look back and wait for TengWhen his hand came, he scoffed and tore up the contract.
So he didn¡¯t think that this contract with Ming Dynasty could last for more than ten years. After the two sons come back and wipe out the remnants of the Ouchi family and Nizi family, we can consider taking back Yinshan.
?Exchange time for space, trade reputation for real profits. This is the wisdom of Japanese Zhuge Liang. Pooh!
??~~
In the end, Mourimoto only made one request, asking Zhao Hao to persuade the Otomo Army to clear a way so that the two sons in Moji Castle could lead their men to safely cross the Kanmon Strait. For this reason, he was willing to persuade Tachibanayama Castle Kaicheng, which was still resisting, to surrender, and let Takahashi Kanzhong, Akizuki Bunzhong and others withdraw to Honshu Island.
Seeing that he was so righteous, Mr. Zhao readily rejected his request and affirmed his basic principle of "not intervening in the fights between vassals".
After hearing the news, Maori Gong smiled bitterly. When did I, the majestic Maori Motoji, become your vassal? But this young master of the Ming Dynasty is really a master who can't be fooled. It's really difficult to take advantage of him.
He stopped mentioning this issue and fully accepted Zhao Hao¡¯s six conditions.
So it was decided that on the tenth day of winter, the two parties would hold a signing ceremony at Akamaguan, where the Maori family belonged.
And Mr. Zhao decided to attend the signing in person. Jin Ke and Gao Wu were very worried about this. After all, they could only dominate at sea. On land, there was no way to guarantee absolute safety.
"But Zhao Hao has made up his mind, and no one can persuade him to do anything. They could only muster up their best efforts and provide security just in case.
??~~
On the tenth day of the lunar month, the sky was blue and the wind was light, and it was rare for the Kanmon Strait to be calm.
The warships of the Royal Coast Guard Fleet of the Ming Dynasty lined up neatly on the sea outside Chijian Pass. The decks and hulls of each ship were cleaned, and traces of smoke and blood were gone. The yellow and orange cannons were shining brightly, and the black muzzles pointed at Chijian Pass not far away.
On this memorable day, all the navy officers and soldiers took off their wrinkled training uniforms and put on straight dark blue high-collar police robes, leather belts with copper buckles, and long black leather boots. Wearing a dark blue hat and helmet and white cotton gloves, he stood neatly on the side of the ship near the shore.
At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, three earth-shaking cannon blasts were fired from the flagship, and then all the battleships' cannons fired in unison, scaring everyone in the Maori family outside Akama Pass to the point where they almost ran away with their heads in their hands. They didn't know that it was a salute without a warhead, and they thought the Ming Dynasty people were going to shoot them.
After the gunfire, the exciting sound of military drums sounded. Amid the drumbeats, groups of tall and tall Marines, carrying bayonets and polished Longqing rifles, walked down the stairs in neat steps. The 101 battleship docked.
During the Ming Dynasty, the average height of northern men was 1.66 meters, and the average height of southern men was 1.63, exceeding that of European men of the same era, let alone Japanese men whose average height was less than 1.5 meters.
Today, in order to show off his power, Mr. Zhao also specially selected a tall man to stand out. It is conceivable that when these Coast Guard members, who are over 175cm tall and about 1.8 meters tall after putting on thick-soled police boots, walk in neat goose steps and line up to meet each other, the impact on the Maori family will be huge. It's quite conceivable.
¡°Look at those neatly dressed, majestic Ming Dynasty people, and then these Maori ¡®elite soldiers¡¯ wearing bamboo hats, hunched backs, and straw sandals and tattered cloth jackets are as inconspicuous as dwarfs. Maori Motonji's heart felt cold. Unexpectedly, after landing, the gap between the two sides was so huge that they were still completely different!
¡®It seems that the Celestial Kingdom has always been the Celestial Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty has restored the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties¡¯ For some reason, Mao Liyuan was still a little proud. It was like a young son watching his father finally get back on his feet, feeling so at ease in his heart.
In fact, Maori made a wrong judgment. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not so arrogant. Even the garrison's army was inferior to his Maori army.
The Coast Guard was built by Mr. Zhao with money! Mr. Zhao's money for raising one soldier is enough for him to raise ten soldiers. If the difference is not big, wouldn't it be wasted money?
After the Marines disembarked in two columns, they stood opposite each other every five steps on the road leading to Chijianguan. After standing still, they did not squint and were as motionless as a pine tree, which made them even more tall and majestic.
After the five hundred marines lined up between Chijianguan and the dock, the drumbeats stopped and "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation" began. Mr. Zhao, accompanied by Zheng Ruozeng, Gao Jie and a group of senior police officers, slowly He slowly got off the flagship and walked towards Chijian Pass with a solemn expression.
When he arrived, in front of Akama Pass, Mao Liyuan quickly led the crowd to prostrate on the ground and greeted him respectfully.
Zhao Hao looked at Maori Yuanjiu who was lying on the ground, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
If you don¡¯t set foot on their land and don¡¯t let them kneel at your feet and sing the song of conquest, how can you show them the power of tomorrow? How can you leave an indelible mark on them?
The conqueror feels really good. Zhao Hao enjoyed it for a moment, then raised his hand slightly and said: "Please get up, Mr. Maoli."
After saying that, he went straight to the Chijianguan Tower.
With the support of his retainers, Mao Liyuan followed the energetic young man and trudged up the tower.
