Chapter 1124: Covenant

Ye Chunqiu found that he liked dealing with Ashikaga Yoshikazu.

Ashikaga Yoshikazu is a person who can judge the situation very well. Such a person is also a smart person. But to Ye Chunqiu, dealing with smart people can save a lot of lip and tongue.

If the Shinguo Mansion and the Shogunate were equal in strength, Ye Chunqiu might be wary of Ashikaga Yoshikaga, but now under the complete overwhelming force of the Shinguo Mansion's navy, Ye Chunqiu believed it very much, which was enough to make Ashikaga Yoshikaga surrender.

Ye Chunqiu really feels this feeling very good.

Early the next morning, the Japanese priests began to set up arrangements in the bay.

This was once the destruction of the Takeda family, but now it is set up to look like a dojo. Students from the new army of the Zhenguo landed on their backs with rifles, one post at three steps and one whistle at five steps.

Two or three hundred great names and guards were kneeling here, waiting with their breath, and the priests began to sing. Although what they sang was hard to tell, they danced back and forth in the priest's clothes, and their long sleeves were floating, like ghosts and gods. Their actions were nothing more than sacrifices, prayers, and blessings.

The red cloth extended from the beach to the dojo. When Ye Chunqiu landed, he stepped onto the red carpet, with the sound of tides behind him. Here, two Japanese warriors knelt on both sides. Ye Chunqiu even suspected that these two guys might assassinate him, but from beginning to end, they just knelt silently and hung their heads.

So Ye Chunqiu continued to walk forward and slowly walked along the red carpet to the temple. He saw that there was a desk in the place, and there were pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the long desk. The letters of the letters were written in Chinese and Japanese.

Ashikaga Yoshikata knelt beside the Chang'an desk. Ye Chunqiu walked over, and Daming and the Guard on both sides kowtowed and bowed one after another. This was obviously the same as the etiquette for the General of the Congyi. Ashikaga Yoshikata got up, wearing a kimono, took out a herald and sent it to Ye Chunqiu.

This is a flower diamond-shaped emblem, which represents the original guardian of Takeda clan here. Now, Takeda clan has disappeared since then, and replaced by Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu placed the silk cloth embroidered with herbs on the oil lamp in front of the desk, and the herbs were immediately burned to ashes by fire, which also means that the last little evidence of the Takeda family remaining in this world has disappeared.

There were two futons in front of the long table. Ye Chunqiu sat down first, while Ashikaga Yoshika sat on the other side, and then the two picked up their pens together and signed their own signatures on the covenant.

Japan claims to be a kingdom of gods. Although this is nonsense, whenever sacrifices or concludes a covenant, it often has a little mythological color. In addition to the three items proposed by Ye Chunqiu, the contents of the covenant are supplemented with some details.

For example, Ye Chunqiu changed this Su Lang to Osaka. The reason can only be described as willful. Perhaps it was because of the name Su Lang that made Ye Chunqiu feel a bit obscene and strange, but it was Osaka in later generations that made him feel familiar.

As for those three main alliances, it generally laid the future direction of Zhenguo Mansion, whether it is a colony or a settlement, no matter what the name is, since trade is to be traded, the laws of various countries are too complicated for merchants. After all, the customs in different places are different and disputes may arise at any time, so it is necessary to open a port directly. What is implemented here will be the trade laws of Zhenguo Mansion. Of course, the most important thing is that such a port does not need to pay taxes to Japan, which can completely reassure everyone.

In addition, in the near future, the Shinguo Mansion may station a military horse here, which can not only protect its own settlements, but also interfere with the current situation of Japan if necessary. Since it is determined to support the Muromachi Shogunate, it must keep its promises.

As for the compensation for the five million taels of silver, Ye Chunqiu was originally planning to do so. Zhenguo Mansion needed silver and went out of the sea. If he did not bring the silver back, what's the point of going out to sea?

To put it bluntly, everyone is not doing good deeds after all. Once this huge compensation arrives in the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely bring an ideological impact.

Ye Chunqiu signed his name, which was considered to have officially concluded an alliance. Ashikaga Yoshikazu's face was full of redness, and then knelt down and bowed deeply at Ye Chunqiu, while Ye Chunqiu returned the gift, but this...

Why does it feel a bit like a couple’s déjà vu?

Well, Ye Chunqiu almost made him think of it. When Ye Chunqiu and Ashikaga Yoshikazu sat upright, the daimyo on both sides bowed down one after another, and with a deep bow, the priest began to sing again.

Immediately, the dancer went on stage, put on heavy makeup, and began to dance improvisably.

Ye Chunqiu held on and barely watched, but found that many new army students guarding here all showed a hirsual expression.

This... is easy to understand. Most of the men who wander on the sea can even cows.

However, Ye Chunqiu was not worried about them. The military orders of the new army in Zhenguo were extremely strict and could be said to be prohibited. Their patience, through day-to-day training, was already extraordinary, but this temptation was also recognized.

However, Ashikaga Yoshitaki leaned slightly and said to Ye Chunqiu: "If the Duke of Zhenguo is interested..."

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and smiled and said, "The general's good wishes should have been disrespectful, but I still don't have to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers."

Ashikaga Yoshikazu didn't say anything else, just smiled lightly.

During these days in Japan, Ye Chunqiu wanted to see the scenery here, but it was a foreign country and it was a rare trip.

However, when he learned that most of the historical sites here had been blown up, Ye Chunqiu had to shake his head. Ashikaga Yoshikazu almost came to the island every now and then to see Ye Chunqiu. He knew very well the necessity of establishing a good relationship with Ye Chunqiu, and... he had already tasted a little sweetness, at least those big names were no longer daring to be arrogant towards him.

There are more than 200 great names, and now anyone who dares to emerge will hit him. And this kind of beating is definitely not like the Japanese attacking each other. Today you pull out a fortress and tomorrow I will capture your village. Instead, you can actually wash the ground and destroy your entire family. In the country of Japan, even if it is your enemy, people will recognize your surname and identity, but to the Ming people, you are just an ant.

It is precisely because of this that the daimyos knew that Ashikaga Yoshikazu, who was protected by the Shinko Mansion, should not be underestimated. They seemed to be reorganizing the shogunate, and generally showed a more respectful attitude towards the ruler of the Ashikaga family.
