    ,

    Before Japan closed its doors to the outside world, its navy¡¯s superficial strength was stronger than that of Ming Dynasty, and fighting away from the coast is very likely to win three victories against Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, the premise is that people like Zheng Zhilong are excluded.

    The main ship of the shogunate is called "Ida Maru", with a displacement of 508 tons. It is a standard Spanish galleon (galen ship).  There is also a Galen ship with a displacement of 120 tons, and most of the rest are Zhuyin ships.

    Datemaru also carried the Japanese envoy, first went to Mexico, then went to Europe to visit the Pope, then visited France and Spain, and finally returned to Japan via the Philippines.

    At that time, Japan was still relatively open. It submitted the credentials to the Pope, and even requested to send more missionaries to Japan to preach.  But a few years later, when the mission returned to Japan, the shogunate was already expelling the missionaries, and the pope in Rome was very happy.

    "Japan also has such a large warship?" Li Dingguo held up his binoculars, his tone a little surprised.

    Hong Xu said with a smile: "The shogunate has only this big ship, which was built with the help of the Spaniards. The guys at the bottom of the box have all come here to negotiate, just because they don't want to lose their momentum."

    The two sides met at the mouth of the bay, each lowered their small boats, and the envoys of the two sides took the small boats to the shore for talks.

    ? Liu Xiangke proudly cupped his hands and said: "Liu Xiangke, Shaoqing of the Chinese Honglu Temple in Datong."

    The shogunate envoy, about 30 years old, bowed his hands in return and said: "Lin Efeng, the shogunate lawsuit and the speaker of the Five Classics."

    Lin Efeng was the son of the great Japanese scholar Luo Shan. In addition to serving as a shogunate litigator and teaching the Five Classics to Tokugawa Iemitsu, he was also a diplomatic adviser to the shogunate.  In addition, he also served as a Japanese historian.

    This guy speaks Chinese very fluently. After reporting their names to each other, they even scolded: "Liu Shaoqing, the Shimadzu family is the lord of the Japanese vassal. Even if there is an act of offending China, the emperor of your country should send a letter of credence, and the shogun will do it himself."  Punishment. Your country uses troops without authorization and fights without declaration. Is this in line with Confucian etiquette? Being rude is injustice! If your country insists on going its own way and wants to fight this unjust war, even though our country is small, we should accompany it!"

    Liu Xiangke was too lazy to chat with the other party, and hit the point directly: "What is the shogunate? I have been in heaven for many years,

    Those who canonize are all Japanese lords, and there is no known act of canonizing Japanese generals.  Even if the letter of credence is sent, it is also sent to the Japanese ruler, and it is not the turn of any shogun!  The Tokugawa clan, who took the lord of the country and ordered the Japanese princes, is truly inhumane and unrighteous.  Not to mention sending troops to conquer Satsuma, even if China sends troops to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate, it is a reasonable and just war!  "

    As soon as this remark came out, Lin Efeng was at a loss for words.

    Yes, according to Confucianism, the Tokugawa shogunate belonged to stealing the country.  And Japan is a vassal state of China, which is tantamount to stealing China's vassal state.

    China has sufficient reasons to send troops directly to kill the Tokugawa shogunate!

    Liu Xiangke disdainfully said: "If your Excellency is here to play tricks, please go back. After defeating Satsuma, I will lead the troops to Edo, and have a good talk with you in Edo city."

    Lin Efeng forcibly explained: "The lord of Japan has entrusted the power to the shogun, and he did not order the princes by coercing the emperor."

    Liu Xiangke sneered: "I sent troops here in Datong China, just to help the Japanese ruler to take charge of the government. Since it is not stealing the country, please ask the shogun to return the ruling to the ruler, so as not to cause criticism for being suspected of stealing the country."

    Liu Xiangke firmly grasped the weakness of the shogunate's stealing the country, and Lin Efeng couldn't talk anymore. If he continued to entangle, it would only become more loopholes.

    Lin Efeng coughed and changed the subject: "When the time is right, the shogunate will return the ruler. What we are talking about today is how can your country withdraw its troops?"

    Liu Xiangke repeated the previous request again.

    It's just that the military compensation has doubled, because after a few more battles, the ships of the Datong Navy were damaged, so a lot of ammunition and food were consumed one after another.

    Lin Efeng breathed a sigh of relief. China's withdrawal conditions were within the acceptable range of the shogunate.  It was nothing more than indemnity, and it was not the shogunate who paid the money anyway, so the Satsuma clan was in huge debt, which was beneficial to the shogunate's control.

    As for China taking back Ryukyu, it doesn't matter.

    ? At the beginning, the shogunate allowed the Satsuma clan to send troops to Ryukyu because of the Daming sea ban and the severance of diplomatic relations with Japan. Official trade could only use Ryukyu as a springboard.

    Now that China has opened up the sea, there are a large number of Chinese goods in the outer islands of Nagasaki, and the transactions have been monopolized by the shogunate. For the shogunate, the Ryukyu territory is dispensable, and only the Satsuma domain has suffered huge losses.

    Lin Efeng said suddenly: "The shogunate can cooperate with these requests. But, please, the emperor of your country, bestow a golden seal on one of the shogunate generals."

    This proposal exceeded Liu Xiangke's expectations.

    Over there at the shogunatep; Shimazu Tadaro asked: "What are your plans?"

    Shimadzu Hisaichi said: "The Tang soldiers have enough food and grass, and even the untouchables who are begging can give out surplus food. If this continues, the food in Tsurumaru City will only be exhausted. By that time, the Tang soldiers will spend time  The food consumption is even worse, and there will definitely be more money to be paid. Maybe he set fire to Tsurumaru Castle in a fit of anger. If the governor does not surrender, we should ask him to surrender. This is also for the sake of the Shimadzu family."

    Tadaro Shimadzu asked: "What if he still doesn't surrender?"

    Shimadzu Hisaichi said: "The governor of the family secretly occupied the eight islands of Ryukyu behind his back and monopolized the brown sugar of Amami Oshima. After this incident, General Tokugawa must have known about it, and he will definitely be questioned after the war. The Shimadzu family will change sooner or later.  A housekeeper.

    The second child was replaced, so it was natural for the third child to take over.

    Tadaro Shimadzu smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency has a long-term vision. This is the blessing of the Shimadzu family."

    Hisutichi Shimadzu also said: "The retainers and warriors in the city are thinking differently now. Some clamored to fight out of the city,

    Some people panicked after being besieged, we can secretly win over some people.  "

    "I'm in the city, and I have a few confidants who are willing to help." Shimadzu Tadaro said.

    The two looked at each other and smiled.
