The emperor's envoy left Kyoto and headed for Kyushu Island. Device: No ads, full text, more
Before leaving, the emperor told him that the bottom line of the negotiations was that he could not enter the main island of Japan. As long as he did not enter the main island, he could agree to any conditions.
"The Central Plains invaders, I don't know how to satisfy their appetite?" Koizumi Akino, the emperor's envoy, murmured to himself.
"Sir, I really can't figure it out, why do we need to negotiate with them? As long as they enter the island, every one of us will die with them!" the Shishi who followed Koizumi Akino said angrily.
"Perish together? It's easy to say, but can you be sure that everyone can do it? Of course those warriors can do it, but what about the farmers? Those farmers who have been working in the fields for many years, do you think they will do it for His Majesty the Emperor?
Are you loyal?" Koizumi Akino snorted coldly.
"This..." Shizhe was speechless.
In Japan of this era, the warriors received bushido spiritual education from an early age and had the spirit to die with the enemy. However, the farmers at the bottom were the same as the farmers of the Song Dynasty, or even worse than the farmers of the Song Dynasty. In order to facilitate oppression,
The Emperor and daimyo from all over the world continue to teach farmers to "patience". It can be said that "patience" has become the spiritual pillar of Japan's bottom peasants. They will treat any suffering with "patience". I hope that such a group of people will perish together with the enemy.
, obviously a bit whimsical.
This is not only true for the main island, but also for Kyushu Island. After Liangshan occupied Kyushu Island, he encountered almost no resistance, which is completely different from Goryeo. Goryeo, even now, under the brainwashing education, there are still some rebels
Traveling around, Liangshan has not wiped out all the rebels so far.
"I hope they won't let the lion speak loudly!" Koizumi Akino sighed.
A group of hundreds of them all rode tall horses. A few days later, they arrived at the Shimonoseki Strait and took a boat from here to Kyushu Island.
Just after they set foot on Kyushu Island, before they could take a break and inquire about the situation in Liangshan, they were immediately surrounded by countless Liangshan troops. Countless spears were pointed at them, and the bright light from the spear tips made them tremble.
"Please don't do anything. We are His Majesty the Emperor's envoys, coming to see the general from the Central Plains!" Koizumi Akino stood up and said hurriedly.
He actually spoke standard Chinese and pronounced his words clearly, as if he had lived in the Central Plains for many years.
Japan in this era, like Goryeo, also yearned for the Central Plains culture. There were many people in their country who studied the Central Plains culture. Among the Japanese aristocrats, there were not a few who could speak Chinese, and Koizumi Akino was obviously a former aristocrat.
"Messenger of the Emperor?" The soldiers of the Liangshan Army were stunned, and then a battalion commander came out and said: "Follow us!"
Wu Dong, Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen and others have returned to the Central Plains. Now only Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Ximen Qing and others remain here. When Wu Yong and others heard the arrival of the emperor's envoy, they were overjoyed, knowing that the Japanese people were
It's time to negotiate with them.
In the daimyo's mansion in Fukuoka Castle, Wu Yong and three others received the emperor's envoy.
"I wonder who is the General of the Central Plains?" Koizumi Akino knelt on the ground and asked respectfully.
"General? None of us are generals, but we are now responsible for all affairs on Kyushu Island." Wu Yong said.
"Since the three of you are responsible for Kyushu affairs, that's the best. His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to come here and ask you, sir, when will you be able to withdraw from Kyushu Island?" Koizumi Akino said.
"Quiting from Kyushu Island is probably impossible." Wu Yong sneered.
"Why is this? You are all troops from the Central Plains. It is not appropriate to be stationed here for a long time. As far as I know, the Central Plains is also facing threats from the barbarians from the north. How can your army be stationed here for a long time?" Koizumi Akino
road.
"I'm afraid you still don't know our identities! Although we are from the Central Plains, we are not subordinates of the Song Dynasty. We are subordinates of King Liang." Wu Yong said with a smile.
At this moment, they had arranged for Koizumi Akino to sit down. Someone handed him tea, using the precious Yuqian Longjing from the Central Plains. Suddenly, a fragrance floated in the room.
"Good tea! Only the Kingdom of Heaven can have such good tea! I wonder who King Liang is?" Koizumi Akino said.
"You don't need to know who King Liang is. You just need to understand that our army will not leave Kyushu Island for the time being!" Wu Yong said.
Koizumi Ichiro frowned slightly. It seemed that these people's attitude was very determined. It was impossible to get them to withdraw from Kyushu Island. Now they could only do the next best thing and prevent them from entering the main island of Japan.
What followed was a long negotiation, which took three days to reach a rough result.
First, Japan ceded Kyushu Island and nearby islands, but the Liangshan army must not enter the main island of Japan.
Second, because the daimyo of Kyushu Island infringed upon the interests of the Liangshan merchant group, Japan was willing to pay compensation. The specific amount of compensation was 10 million guan of silver.
Third, Liangshan businessmen are allowed to do business freely on the Japanese mainland. Liangshan businessmen enjoy criminal immunity and tax exemption on the Japanese mainland.
In addition to these three major items, there are many additional conditions. For example, Ximen Qing must be compensated for being punished by a Japanese daimyo, and he must compensate Liangshan for 30,000 fine samurai swords, and allow Liangshan to
There are many conditions for merchants to hire island craftsmen and so on.
Koizumi Akino looked at the Kyushu Treaty in front of him with an extremely ugly face, but in the end he signed his name.
Three days later, Koizumi Akino left Kyushu Island and returned to Kyoto. He needed to submit the treaty to His Majesty the Emperor. He needed His Majesty the Emperor's seal before the treaty could officially take effect.
After the content of the treaty spread to Kyoto, the nobles and samurai in Kyoto were all furious. These nobles and samurai knelt in front of the palace, hoping that the emperor would not agree to this condition.
"Konoe-sama, are the subjects quite dissatisfied?" the emperor said worriedly.
"There is no way around this. It is better to cede Kyushu Island than to destroy the country? Do they have to wait until Japan is wiped out by the Central Plains invaders before they are satisfied?" Konoe Sega said coldly.
"But, how should I explain to the people?" The emperor frowned.
"Tell the people to be patient! Let all the people be patient for ten years. After ten years we will definitely regain Kyushu Island!" Konoe Sega said.
"Ten years later? Is there anything Konoe-sama can do?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
"In these ten years, we will gather a large number of warriors to form a real army, and then fight to the death with the Central Plains invaders." Konoe Sega said.
"I wonder how many warriors we need to summon?" the emperor asked.
"Gather 300,000 to 500,000 samurai!" Konoe Sega said.
"What? So many? With our national strength, we simply can't support so many samurai? Besides, I'm afraid the daimyo from all over the world won't agree?" the emperor said in disbelief.
"The Central Plains army is extremely powerful. Without so many warriors, it is impossible to repel them! As for the national strength, it can definitely support so many warriors! At most, some farmers will starve to death, but even if there are more farmers to starve to death, they will still be defeated.
Guarantee the rations of the samurai! If the daimyo from various places do not agree, then destroy them! This time, in order to deal with the Central Plains invaders, the samurai of the daimyo from various places basically died in battle, and the remaining ten thousand people are under the control of Your Majesty and
Under my control, it is easy to eliminate those big names." Konoe Sega said.
Emperor Toba stood up and pushed away the door. His eyes were full of worry. He didn't know whether what Konoe Sega said was right or wrong, and he didn't know whether he should sign the Kyushu Treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Konoe Sega urged.
"Okay, I will sign the Kyushu Treaty!" The emperor gritted his teeth and said.
So soon, the Kyushu Treaty was signed. It was easy to cede Kyushu Island. Anyway, Kyushu Island was now occupied by the Liangshan Army. However, the war compensation of 10 million was not a simple matter. Even if Japan had several silver mines, it would be difficult to collect these.
Silver is also very difficult.
"Tell me, how should we resolve the Shirogane issue?" Emperor Toba summoned his ministers and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 300 pieces of silver!" A minister stood up and said.
"I am willing to donate 10 yuan," said a minister.
The rest of the ministers stood up one after another, and all they said were hundreds or dozens of silver. This amount of silver could not reach the amount required by Liangshan.
"Your Majesty, I think war taxes should be collected! Every citizen is obliged to pay war taxes! If there is no silver, then use grain to make up the amount! Didn't the invaders in the Central Plains say that grain can be used instead of silver. We have thousands
Tens of thousands of farmers, can’t they collect enough tens of millions of silver?” Konoe Sega said.
Now Konoe Sega has been appointed "shogun" by the emperor and has become the number one person in the court. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other ministers agreed.
Everyone agreed, and Emperor Toba naturally had nothing to say, so he began to arrange the collection of war taxes.
Because of war taxes, countless Japanese farmers lost their entire fortune, but the "endurance" of the Japanese is indeed not comparable to that of the Central Plains people, and none of them rebelled. If it had been left in the Central Plains, there would have been wars everywhere.
"Your Majesty, this is the information we just got about the invaders from the Central Plains! That King of Liang is actually the King of Korea!" In August, Konoe Sega came to the palace and handed over the information he just got to Emperor Toba.
Emperor Toba read it at a glance. After reading it, the worry in his heart became even more serious. He said: "This King of Liang has just destroyed Goryeo, and now he has invaded my Kyushu Island in Japan... I am afraid that his strength will become more and more powerful."
After becoming strong, sooner or later the entire Japan will be occupied!"
Konoe Sega nodded and said: "So recruiting 300,000 to 500,000 warriors is a must. In addition, I have a strategy to deal with the Central Plains invaders."
Emperor Toba said: "I wonder what the plan is?"
Konoe Sega's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said: "We Japanese warriors are not afraid of death. We can select a group of powerful warriors, conduct special training, and then assassinate the King of Liangshan!"
