The signing of the Treaty of Nagasaki dealt a heavy blow to the Tokugawa Shogunate.
For example, the closed-door policy that the Tokugawa shogunate had always insisted on and continued to deepen was completely broken by the Xia Kingdom.
Not only Nagasaki, but also Osaka, Edo and other core areas of the shogunate will be opened to the Natsu Kingdom.
At present, this makes the shogunate completely unable to hold its head high. But who knows what will happen in the future?
Through this treaty, Xia finally regained ownership of Ryukyu.
As long as this document exists, the fact that Ryukyu is a dependent state of China will never change.
Of course, by seizing the breakthrough point of King Shangfeng, Xia Guo wanted more than just Ryukyu returning to the Chinese vassal.
The shogunate could not afford the 13 million taels of war compensation proposed by the Xia Kingdom.
Through conditional replacement, it was finally reduced to two million taels.
Even at this price, the pressure on the Tokugawa shogunate was considerable.
In the end, the two sides agreed to repay the tariffs of Nagasaki, Osaka, and Edo in ten years.
The Xia Kingdom also obtained the right to rebuild Osaka from the shogunate, and it also needed to repay it with customs duties.
It can be predicted that in the next fifty years, the customs revenue of the shogunate will basically belong to the Xia Kingdom.
Doi Toshikatsu and others were still hesitant about purchasing firearms and training troops from the Xia Kingdom, fearing that the Xia Kingdom would control the military power of the shogunate.
Wang Yun didn't care either.
After the daimyō fought against the shogunate and saw the power of the new armies and weapons, the Tokugawa shogunate naturally knew how to choose.
The treaty was signed, and the Xia army began to evacuate as agreed.
Yin Dazhongzong stood at the top of the city, watching the Xia army heading north outside, puzzled.
"Send someone quickly to check, where did these Xia troops come from?"
The northeastern part of Japan, which had always been the most stable, was attacked by the Xia Kingdom, which had the greatest impact on the Japanese people.
Because this means that Japan no longer has any room for strategic relaxation, and if it conflicts with Xia Kingdom again, it will be besieged from all directions.
The 1st Marine Regiment also boarded the ship and left Hofu, retreating to the Goto Islands.
This place will be the territory of Xia Kingdom from now on.
After Wang Yun, Lou Fu, and Zhang Keda discussed it, they arranged the first marine regiment above. In addition, the North Sea Fleet will also build a base here.
From here, it would be much more convenient to intervene militarily in Japanese affairs.
An order came from the central government, and Shen Tingyang was promoted from Nagasaki Commercial Representative to Ambassador to Japan and went to Edo to take up the post.
The shadow of the Xia Kingdom began to gradually fade away from the Japanese mainland.
But everyone understands that this is not the beginning of peace, but the foreshadowing of greater turmoil.
Between the Tokugawa shogunate and the daimyō, the winner must be decided through a life-and-death fight.
On Kyushu Island, the foreign daimyo who had reorganized their forces began to intensify their efforts, spending their wealth to purchase weapons from the Xia Kingdom, and inviting the Xia Kingdom to reform and train the army.
There is only one place that is an exception.
"Instructor, are you leaving too?"
Seeing Yuan Shengsheng and others packing their bags, Amakusa Tokisada was extremely reluctant to leave.
"Our mission is completed, it's time to go back."
Yuan Shengsheng was also very emotional.
During this period, he and Amakusa Tokisada worked very well together.
This young man admired him very much and obeyed his arrangements. The two parties had actually shared the joys and sorrows for a long time and had already forged a deep friendship.
Amakusa Tokisada was very lonely.
"Eemon is gone, and you are gone too. Are the Shimabara rebels going to be abandoned?"
What Amakusa Tokisada couldn't accept the most was that his most trusted assistant, Eemon, chose to leave.
Because Eemon was once a samurai of the Arima family.
Arima Naozumi made the right decision at the right time and acquired large tracts of land in Bungo and Bungo, and the Arima family began to regain its vitality.
At this time, various talents were urgently needed, so Youemon was recruited.
When Eemon came to Amakusa Tokisada, he carried the mission of the Arima family with him, and now his departure has become inevitable.
However, after losing her most trusted partner and the most helpful Yuan Shengsheng and other Xia Guo instructors, Amakusa Tokisada suddenly felt lonely.
"You are also a feudal lord now, owning a large area of land. There are many people who depend on you for their lives. You have to cheer up."
Yuan Shengsheng had no choice but to comfort him like this.
But the effect is not good.
"You know, I am different from those feudal lords. In their eyes, they will not treat a pariah like me as a friend. If you leave, the Shimabara rebel army will be annexed and eliminated."
Although Amakusa Tokisada is young, she is very smart.
He knew very well that the class gap in Japan was deeply rooted, and people like him from a poor background would not be recognized by big names.
Without the help of Xia Guo, the Shimabara rebel army would be surrounded by wolves and would not be able to hold on for long.
Yuan Shengsheng frowned and felt the same as what he said.
But his level determines that many things are beyond his control.
"Shiro, to be honest, I can't answer your troubles because I don't understand them either. You know, this is different from fighting."
This was the truth, but it made Tokisada Amakusa's eyes wet, and she felt more and more gloomy about the future.
At this moment, Yuan Shengsheng changed the subject.
"But I think there is someone who can give you some guidance."
Amakusa Tokizada suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of hope.
"who?"
"His Royal Highness, King Xia."
Amakusa Shizhen was fascinated, and she had already heard about the legendary King of Xia.
"But His Highness King Xia is thousands of miles away."
Yuan Shengsheng shook his head and nodded again.
"The situation on Kyushu Island is relatively stable now. The Xia army is on the Five Islands. Those daimyo have to deal with the shogunate for a while, so they won't attack you for the time being. I think this is a very good opportunity. If
If you can go to the Kingdom of Xia, meet His Highness the King of Xia in person, and get his advice, you will definitely be able to get help."
He spoke more clearly.
"Those big names are not friends of the Xia Kingdom. Once there is no threat from the shogunate, they will even become the enemies of the Xia Kingdom. The Xia Kingdom is also worried about how to find real friends in Japan. You know, those big names will not
Leave their nest and go to Xia Kingdom to pay a visit to His Highness. And if you go, you know what this means."
Amakusa Tokisada understood.
Once he visits the Xia Kingdom, it means that he has completely opened his heart to the Xia Kingdom, and the relationship between the two parties will be taken to a higher level.
From now on, Xia Guo will definitely pay more attention and help to him.
And with the Xia Kingdom behind them, the greedy lords on Kyushu Island have to carefully consider the consequences of irritating the Xia Kingdom.
After thinking about the other joints, Amakusa Tokisada couldn't help but feel excited.
He still had one last bit of hesitation.
"If I leave temporarily and the Shimabara rebel army is leaderless, will there be any trouble?"
Yuan Shengsheng smiled confidently.
"You are on a visit to the Xia Kingdom. If something unexpected happens during your visit, where will the Xia Kingdom's face go?"
