Matsuura Shigenobu learned about the Ming Dynasty from his Tang Tongshi teacher, Ong Yuhuang Tagawa, and knew that there were many generals in the Ming Dynasty. He also knew that these so-called generals were not the same thing as the generals of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

But in front of Yang Zhen, he was a defeated and surrendered prisoner after all. Even though he was still arrogant, he did not dare to refute or anger Yang Zhen easily.

Therefore, Matsuura Shigenobu simply kept it vague, and did not care about the inappropriate title Yang Zhen told them about the title of His Excellency the General. Instead, he directly asked Yang Zhen why he came to invade.

But Yang Zhen was too lazy to answer such questions.

For Yang Zhen, does he need any reason to come to fight the Japanese slaves?

So after listening to Matsuura Shigenobu's arrogant question with his eyes wide open, Yang Zhen just smiled contemptuously and said:

"Matsuura-san, what matters now is not why I am here, but that I won this battle and you lost. You are my prisoner and my prisoner. What you should be concerned about should not be why I am here.

, but rather how I will deal with you next!"

As soon as Yang Zhen said these words, not only Matsuura Shigenobu was slightly stunned and depressed, but also the other feudal lords and daimyo who had lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Yang Zhen for fear of offending Yang Zhen also suddenly raised their heads.

He started and looked at Yang Zhen.

At this time, Matsuura Shigenobu closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, remained silent for a long time, opened his eyes, and then said in a heavy tone:

"There is no enmity between the Matsuura family and His Excellency the General, and there is no intention to offend His Excellency the General. There must be a misunderstanding between you and us in today's situation.

"However, the winner is male and the loser is female. Chongxin has nothing to say. I would like to ask Your Majesty the General to make it clear how you want to deal with us!"

After Matsuura Shigenobu said these words with a depressed expression, he flopped down on the ground, and the arrogance he had just now disappeared.

"That's right! Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me. Are you really gathering thousands of ships and 10,000 to 20,000 troops just to take back Hirado Island, which has no trading status?

"Haha, let's not talk secretly. If you hadn't planned to attack my troops and ships and seize Yingzhou Island, that is, Jeju Island, how could you end up like this today?

"Especially your Matsuura family. You have no grievances against me. Isn't it your Matsuura family who convened the Japanese pirate gang Matsuura Party? You always have to pay back when you come out to fool around. Today it's your turn to pay back!"

Although Yang Zhen didn't want to say anything more, when he saw Matsuura Shigenobu pretending to be innocent in front of him, he suddenly became furious.

To them, it seems that no matter how big a crime they commit, if they bow, surrender, or at best kneel down, the crime can be exposed, the story is turned over, and it is written off.

How can such a good thing happen!

"Your Excellency General, the Matsuura Party is a thing of the past, and the Matsuura Party has long since ceased to exist!"

Facing Yang Zhen's repeated remarks, Matsuura Shigenobu, who had already knelt on the ground to express his surrender, raised his head again and argued.

However, Matsuura Shigenobu's rebuttal made Yang Zhen furious once again.

"You said you're not here anymore? Aren't you the head of the Matsuura family? Since you are the head of the Matsuura family, then the soldiers, horses and warships you summoned are now the Matsuura Party! In the past, the Matsuura Party summoned Japanese pirates and bandits to attack the Ming Dynasty.

The crimes committed will naturally be borne by you now!"

However, Yang Zhen's scolding of Matsuura Shigenobu and his statement that he would investigate the crimes of Matsuura Party Japanese pirates many years ago successfully aroused the resentment of a feudal lord daimyo.

As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, before Matsuura Shigenobu spoke, he saw one among the daimyo kneeling in the tent suddenly straightened up, raised his head, and shouted to Yang Zhen:

"Your Excellency General Yang Zhen - don't you think this is too overbearing?!"

"Too overbearing? Haha, you speak Chinese quite well. May I ask, who are you?"

Seeing someone standing up and accusing him of being overbearing, Yang Zhen first laughed. Seeing that he was also speaking in Chinese, he casually complimented him on how well he spoke Chinese.

But at the end of the sentence, Yang Zhen's face turned gloomy, his smile disappeared, and he just stared at him coldly.

The people who could be summoned by Yang Zhen in this tent at this time were all the feudal lord's daimyo or people similar to the feudal lord's daimyo.

However, it was the first time for Yang Zhen to meet all the feudal lords of the Japanese slave country who were present. Except for Matsuura Shigenobu, who had just announced his family status, Yang Zhen did not recognize any of the others.

But no matter who he is, if he dares to stand up and make trouble at this time, contradict Yang Zhen, and know Yang Zhen's name and call Yang Zhen by his name, there will only be one end.

That was the unfortunate chicken that Yang Zhen killed as a warning to others.

The man was about thirty or forty years old, with typical moon-shaped hair, a short figure, a fat head and a fat brain, but he also felt a bit unruly.

At this time, the armor and sword on his body had long been taken away, and he was barefoot. Apart from his close-fitting clothing, he only had a black jinhaori to maintain his daimyo's dignity.

Yang Zhen stared at him coldly, one hand already pressed on the short-barreled firecracker he carried with him.

The man seemed to have seen Yang Zhen's stern expression, and was obviously a little nervous and flinched, but he was sitting on his knees on the side, only a few steps away from Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen had already set his sights on him, and he had no way to hide.

At this time, I heard the man bite the bullet and answer Yang Zhen's eyes:

"I am the lord of Tsushima Fuchu Domain, Tsuishima Moramune Yoshinari!"

"Very good, just because of what you just said, Tsushima will no longer exist!"

"General, what do you mean?"

Faced with Yang Zhen's sudden and unclear but important remarks, Zong Yicheng was confused.

Among the feudal lords who sent troops this time, only Zong Yicheng had heard of Yang Zhen before.

Because Tsushima Island is not far from the Koryo Peninsula, the Zong family on the island also has many contacts with businessmen from the Koryo Peninsula.

Therefore, they had heard about many things that happened in the Li Dynasty on the Goryeo Peninsula, including the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the defection of Lin Qingye, and even the rise of Jinhae Town on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Because of Tsushima's special location, it not only undertook the trade between the Wonu Kingdom and the Koryo Peninsula, but also served as a bridge connecting the Wonon Kingdom and the regimes on the Koryo Peninsula and the regimes west of Koryo.

Therefore, whether in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era or the Tokugawa Shogunate era, they received special attention from the rulers of the Wonu Kingdom and were treated as the Lords of Tsushima.

Of course, this also developed some problems of acting boldly against Ma Zongshi.

However, at this time Zong Yicheng asked him his name, and then said that Tsuima Fan would no longer exist. He already regretted the conflict just now, but he still had the courage to listen to Yang Zhen's explanation.

However, Yang Zhen didn't explain at all, and even before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly pulled out a short-barreled blunderbuss, opened the faucet head and struck the hammer, and raised his hand, a "bang" blunderbuss was fired.

.

Zong Yicheng knelt down not far from Yang Zhen's right hand, only a few steps away. Yang Zhen's shot hit his fat head.

"ah?!"

"this--"

As soon as the gunshot was fired, the tent was filled with exclamations of surprise.

But in the smoke, Zong Yicheng fell to the ground before he could even scream.

The lead bullet fired by Yang Zhen's musket left a large hole in Zong Yicheng's forehead. After he fell to the ground, blood immediately flowed out, staining the ground red.

At the same time, the generals of Yang Zhen who were standing inside and outside the tent drew their swords in their hands and surrounded Matsuura Shigenobu and the remaining daimyo of the feudal lord.

"Your Excellency General——, Your Excellency General, calm down!"

Of course a person like Matsuura Shigenobu would not want to die here in a daze.

For him, he is still young and has a lot of good days ahead of him, so why would he be willing to die like this?

The other feudal lords present, including the daimyo, saw Zong Yicheng's fate and knew that the Ming general in front of him didn't take them seriously at all. He would kill them whenever they disagreed, so they all panicked.

Regardless of whether they can speak Chinese or not, at this moment, they all imitated Matsuura Shigenobu’s rhetoric, kowtowed on the ground, and shouted loudly with trembling:

"Your Excellency, General, calm down your anger! Your Excellency, General, calm down your anger! Your Excellency, General, please tell me clearly how you want to deal with it!"

Seeing that killing Zong Yicheng had already had the effect of killing chickens and scaring monkeys, Yang Zhensui waved his hand and drove away Lin Qingye, Li Lu, Zhang Guogan and others, then snorted coldly and said:

"As the saying goes, if you lose this battle, you will have to bear the consequences of losing. Don't blame me for being overbearing. If I lose this battle, I will naturally let you do what you want and won't say much.

explain!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty the General is right!"

Seeing Yang Zhen put away his musket and fight off the aggressive generals, the Japanese slave daimyo headed by Matsuura Shigenobu knew that Yang Zhen was not determined to kill them, so they all immediately bowed their heads and surrendered.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Since you know the current affairs so well, then we can have a good talk."

In fact, deep down in Yang Zhen's heart, he wanted to kill all the feudal lords of the Wonu Kingdom.

However, he led his troops here for a larger purpose, which was to obtain compensation for land ceding from the Kyushu vassals, including obtaining large sums of gold, silver, or rice supplies.

Otherwise, killing Matsuura Shigenobu, Kuroda Tadayuki and other captured Japanese slave daimyo would be completely subordinate to or serve the big goal of obtaining compensation for the ceded territory.

If they are willing to pay compensation everywhere, then Yang Zhen doesn't care whether they will continue to be enemies with him in the future after releasing them.

On July 19, the 14th year of Chongzhen's reign, Matsuura Shigenobu, Kuroda Tadayuki, Nabeshima Katsushige and others who were imprisoned in a tent at the former site of Hiradoyama Castle Castle finally completed negotiations with Yang Zhen.

On behalf of the Hirado Domain and the Matsuura Clan of Hizen Province, Matsuura Shigenobu ceded Hirado Island and Iki Island in exchange for Yang Zhen's release of Matsuura Shigenobu himself, Matsuura Shigenobu's uncle Matsuura Hironobu, and all the captured retainers and samurai of the Matsuura clan, a total of three

One hundred and twenty-one.

As for the Ashigaru peasants and soldiers mobilized by the Matsuura clan from Matsuura County of Hizen Province and Iki Island, it goes without saying that they died, but there are still more than 1,100 people alive.

For these more than 1,100 people, the Matsuura clan needed to redeem them in exchange for ten shi of sulfur or ten shi of rice per person.

When the Matsuura family has prepared all the sulfur or rice they intend to exchange, Yang Zhen will release them.

The treaty reached between Yang Zhen and Matsuura Shigenobu was reached on the last day under the witness of all the captured feudal lords.

The negotiations between Yang Zhen and other captured feudal lords rarely involved the issue of ceding territory, so they were not so complicated.

Before Yang Zhen could issue an ultimatum to them, Kuroda Tadayuki, the lord of the Fukuoka Domain, Katsushige Nabeshima, the lord of the Saga Domain, Kendaka Terasawa, the lord of the Karatsu Domain, Junnobu Omura, the lord of the Omura Domain, and Tadashi Takafusa, the lord of the Shimabara Domain, all arrived.

They reached a one-on-one treaty with Yang Zhen respectively.

Of course, although Yang Zhen did not force them to cede their territory within the domain, the treaties Yang Zhen reached with each of them included other demands.

The first of them is common.

Yang Zhen asked them to recognize the validity of the treaty they signed with the Matsuura clan and serve as witnesses. He also asked them to recognize that the Goto Islands, Tsushima Islands and their affiliated islands belonged to the Jinhai Town of the Ming Dynasty.

The second one, the routines for different feudal lords are almost the same.
