Chapter 187 The Treaty of Kanagawa (Part 2)

Although Tokugawa Ie-Kuang was also very annoyed, he had different identities and thought more deeply than others. Although Tokugawa Shogunate did not know that Shang Yi did not have enough power to launch a landing battle against Japan this time, but this The attack on Edo Castle left a deep impression on Tokugawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Is it really disdain for the ground attack. , using this method of maritime attack alone can completely destroy all coastal cities in Japan.

In the face of this tactic of the merchant army, the Japanese army had almost no resistance. The only way was to give up all coastal areas and transfer inland. But Japan itself was just an island country with almost no strategic depth space. It is impossible to give up the coastal areas, so it is certain that it cannot be beaten, but after agreeing, he felt unwilling to accept it, so he asked Tadao Sakai, Nobutsu Matsuhei, Tadao Abe and others to discuss it.

This time, a few people came and no one spoke for a long time. Tokugawa Ie-ku can't help but feel anxious and said, "You all talk. Who has the means to fight or talk."

At this time, Matsuhei Nobuka said, "The Lord believes that if we are fighting Shang Yi now, will we have a chance to win?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head and said, "No."

Matsuhira Nobuzuo asked again: "What the merchant army said, if we do not accept the conditions, we must razed Edo to the ground. The master thought that they were intimidating or did they have the ability?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu was silent for a while before saying, "It's true."

Matsuhira Nobuzu asked again: "Once Edo is really razed to the ground by them, where will the Lord be placed?"

When Tokugawa's family heard this, they had to smile bitterly. Of course he knew that Edo Castle is the foundation of the Tokugawa family. If Edo Castle is destroyed, the Tokugawa family will definitely be seriously damaged, and those who were originally unwilling to be to be to Tokugawa. The daimyos who were in the shogunate would never give up this opportunity, so their position as the general of the siege will be over.

On the contrary, although Edo Castle was almost half destroyed, the foundation was still there, and the strength of the Tokugawa Shogunate was not greatly affected. Among the major names, the Satsuma vassal was basically completely finished, even if Shang Yi didn't want to punish him, Tokugawa Iemitsu will not let them go. The navy of the Choshu family was also severely damaged. Among the three names that the Tokugawa shogunate is most jealous, only one of the Sendai vassals did not suffer any losses, but it was also hard to speak alone, so as long as the Edo was saved The city and Tokugawa shogunate can still shake other Japanese daimyos and preserve the status of the Tokugawa family.

The result is actually obvious, and Tokugawa Iemitsu has no other choice. Moreover, even if you compensate some silver, you can share the burden with other daimyos. It is not entirely paid for by the shogunate themselves. You can also take the opportunity to weaken the power of other daimyos. Therefore, from the current situation, the sooner the peace negotiation, the better. The longer it is to delay, the more unfavorable it will be for you.

But Tokugawa Iegumi was still a little unwilling to accept it, and at the same time he was worried, and said, "Nin Takana, I have thought about it carefully these days. We agreed to open the trading port. Why didn't Shang Yi take Toyotomi's Yu Congjio? Returning it to Japan, are you planning to do it? Besides, Shang Yi is so arrogant and rude, he may not have a desire to peek at me in Japan. Although this time he used the banner of Toyotomi, it is inevitable that he will not be able to do so next time. Could it be that we just counted Is it right?"

Matsupi Shin-gang said: "The Lord will understand clearly, so naturally he won't just forget it. The conditions that promised Shang Yi now are just a temporary solution. In order to overcome the current difficulties, we will do it again after passing this level. Planning. In the past, Han Xin of China could endure the humiliation of the inferiority. Even the ancestors also had stubbornly followed the Oda clan and Toyotomi clan, so he asked the Lord to endure the momentary anger for the sake of the Tokugawa clan's overall situation." He paused ,Xiong said confidently: "And I have plans now, I will definitely not repay this kind of hatred."

After hearing Matsuhira Nobuzu's words, Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little relieved, nodded, and said, "Okay, Nobuzu, you should do this."

After obtaining the approval of Tokugawa Iemitsu, Matsuhira Nobutsu immediately came to the barracks of the Merchant Army and met Cheng Gang, expressing his acceptance of the Merchant Army's conditions. Then the two sides immediately began formal negotiations.

In fact, Cheng Gang is not a good person at peace, but the captain of the Spanish mercenary, Moriente is a veteran of colonization. Although Andre is not old, he is also very good at this. They are both considered as Gang. The left and right hands will not miss the matter. Moreover, before the content and conditions of the peace talks were held in detail, Shang Yi had to settle according to the order one by one, and Japan now really couldn't find any bargaining chips. At most, you can only get a little silver compensation and get a little more profit in some details. Most of the conditions for Shang Yi can only be accepted.

Therefore, after some debate and bargaining, the Chinese version of the peace agreement reached by both sides is:

Because the King of Jingbei of China was the general of the general of the Yi, he explained the recent disagreement and stopped the provocation, and agreed to establish a permanent peace treaty. Therefore, Cheng Gang, commander of the joint fleet of the Navy of the Special Sent of King of Jingbei of China; The general of the Japanese general was specially appointed to obey, and the shogunate old master Matsuhira Nobuka; the generals and the generals were responsible for their superiors' actions and their orders granted full authority to compare with each other, and they were all good, even if they were proposed, they would be displayed on the left. :

1. Later, the King of Jingbei and the General of the Japanese Conquering the Yi will remain peaceful forever. The Chinese and Japanese people belonging to each other and those who live in other countries will be blessed by the country to be safe.

2. From now on, the Japanese general of the Japanese conquest of the Yi allowed the Chinese people to lead their families and live in the coastal areas of Japan, including Kazuki, Kobe, Osaka, Shizuoka, etc., with no obstacles in trade and trade; and the King of Yasukuni in China can be assigned a consul. , the officials and other officials moved into the four cities and towns, specializing in business matters, and dealing with documents with local officials; import, export goods tax, and fees should be included, and the shogunate should be impartially agreed upon and issued by the shogunate to Chinese merchants accept the goods as usual; after Chinese goods are paid taxes from a certain port, Japanese merchants are allowed to travel all over the world, and taxes passing through the road shall not be increased.

3. Ryukyu and its affiliated islands are all vassals of the King of Jingbei of China. They were governed by China by example. After that, Japan shall not interfere in its internal affairs and encourage its subjects to provoke. If there is any violation, China shall deal with it in accordance with its own laws and regulations. .

4. This battle was caused by the Japanese Satsuma lord Shimazu Kozuki, who caused a violent attack. Shimazu Kozuki and his tribes were trapped in Shuri Castle of Ryukyu. They were both guilty. Since the signing of this agreement, Shimazu Kozuki Tsukihiro and his chief ministers handled the matter in China according to the laws of their own country. Those who followed the country returned to the country to punish the crime, and they were trapped in Shuri Castle with the Japanese vassal lord Ii Naotaku, and his subordinates were released from China. , and let him return to his country.

5. Therefore, during the war, Chinese merchants were trapped in Ryukyu and forced to stay in Japan, seized ship cargo, and were frightened to death. Now the general of the conquered barbarians will be compensated with one million taels of silver to compensate for the original price, and to appease the fright.

Sixth, because Japan's Satsuma, Higen, Changzhou vassals and other vassals were unfairly dealt with Chinese officials and people, and they were frightened by threats and threatened, causing China to send soldiers and ships to rescue them, which consumed the national treasury. Now, the water and army expenses were 28.

One hundred thousand taels, the general who conquered the barbarians was allowed to compensate.

Seven, the above two items shall be determined to be 3.8 million taels of silver in total, and will be paid in three batches. The date of signing the contract will be based on the date of signing the contract, starting from 24th year of × month ×, and from 15000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

One hundred thousand taels were cut for the first batch; in December of the 24th year of Yongkuan, Japan, one million taels were cut for the second batch, one million in June of the following year

Two, the third batch of silver will be transferred to Ryukyu. If there is a timely failure to make enough amounts, the annual

Rates of five taels per 100 taels of silver.

8. Anyone who is a Chinese, regardless of his own country or a country, is now under ban on all places under the jurisdiction of Japan, will be released immediately.

9. Anyone who is a Japanese man who lives in a town occupied by the Chinese, who has had business with the Chinese, or who has followed and waited for Chinese officials, will be completely exempted from the crime by the general of the conquest of the barbarians; and any one who is a Chinese man

In addition to the Satsuma tribes, I have also been released with grace.

Tenth, after the general of the Great Conquest of the Japanese to allow the implementation of the peace agreement, and at this time, the Chinese navy and army soldiers immediately withdrew from Japan and no longer occupied it.

Eleven, all the above items were negotiated and peace offer. After the ministers and other reports to the King of Jingbei of China, the general of the Binbing Yi, he immediately went to the ministers to let the two countries hold a book.

The name of this peace treaty is defined as "A Friendship and Friendship Peace of China", but the place where the peace treaty was signed was in the Yokosuka area of ​​Kanagawa, Japan, and it was called the [Treaty of Kanagawa] in Japan.

This is also the first formal peace agreement signed with foreign countries in Chinese history, and it is also the first peace agreement signed with China as the name of the country. However, the title is somewhat inconsistent. In the past, the dynasty and Japan shared the letter of nationality.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu have used the title of the Japanese king, but Shang Yi is still the King of Yasuhiro, not the Chinese emperor. Therefore, the title of Tokugawa Ieki is to use his official title, the General of the Conquering Yi, just

It doesn't seem like the supreme rulers of the two countries a hundred years later. Every time I introduce this historical document, I have to attach a large paragraph of explanation, saying that this is the first national agreement signed between China and Japan.

.

But in terms of content, China undoubtedly made a great profit. After the contract was signed, China not only received 3.8 million taels of silver as compensation, but also obtained four trading ports in Japan, where consulates could be dispatched.

It fully engaged in direct flights with Japan, and obtained preferential policies for import and export taxation, which fully achieved the goal of sending troops this time. However, the Japanese side was forced to open the country and gave up a large amount of national interests.
