After listening to Ling Han's words, Matsushita Ijiro's expression changed drastically, and he immediately jumped down from his chair and stood in front of Ling Han.
The people behind him also stared at Ling Han, and some even had bloodshot eyes.
But Ling Han didn't take it seriously at all, and even waved his hand to calm down the soldiers behind him.
Matsushita Ijiro even said bluntly: "I heard that our country is a country of etiquette and speaks so harshly. Although I, the Japanese slave, have a small land and few people, my warrior style is as bright as the sun.
If the Ming Dynasty was targeting us, why would they have to come all the way to summon us?
If Ming Dynasty has never thought of having diplomatic relations with us, please treat us as equals.
As for what happened 20 years ago, it was the work of rebels in the north and had nothing to do with my court.
If you want revenge, you should go to them. "
Ling Han looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Why, do you think it was Da Ming who invited you here? To show you shame, I didn't expect you to be so unruly here.
To tell you the truth, I called you here not to cooperate, but to ask you to be obedient.
Nowadays, the Japanese slaves are divided into two dynasties, the north and the south. The strength of the northern dynasty will crush you. Don't think that we don't know your situation.
The number of daimyo owned by the Japanese slaves in the Northern Dynasty is already dozens or hundreds of times that of yours. What can you do to compete with them?
To say that you have occupied the Tosa Kingdom is a compliment to you. As far as we know, if the Northern Dynasty was not afraid of the three artifacts in your hands, it would have sent its troops south to annex you one by one.
You have been reduced to associate with overseas pirates, how can you have the dignity to mention the so-called Japanese slaves?The so-called imperial court?
Can you represent yourself at court? "
Ling Han no longer gave them any face at this time.
Matsushita Keijiro gritted his teeth angrily.
Seeing these guys being so shameless and bragging in front of me, of course they had to give them a slap in the face.
Matsushita Ijiro and those behind him turned pale after listening to the translation.
Unexpectedly, there is no contact between Mingming and the Ming Dynasty. The diplomatic relations have been severed for more than 20 years, but why do they know so much about their own situation, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.
How did they know the situation even though they were far away from each other by the vast sea? Obviously, the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban, and even smuggling on the sea was secretive.
No merchants from the Ming Dynasty had ever reached their Japanese slaves.
Even if there is smuggling, the transaction is done at sea.
impossible! Absolutely impossible! Matsushita Ijiro is still struggling to support himself.
But Ling Han got a lot of information from Chen Han, and what he said just now shocked Matsushita Ijiro and the others.
He immediately understood that these little dwarfs had been told what they were thinking, so why not go to hell with you?
Then his tone became even more urgent: "The reason why your Tosa country's daimyo currently supports Emperor Gogameyama is just because he holds three sacred weapons.
But don't forget that Emperor Komatsu of the Northern Dynasty, with the support of the general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, even without the three great artifacts, even without the orthodoxy to ascend the throne.
But they have strong soldiers and horses, and now it is just to achieve a reasonable level. How many years, or how many months can you sustain it?
I'm afraid that by the time you move reinforcements outside and return to the island, Emperor Kameyama's body will be cold to the touch.
Now the Ming Dynasty is giving you a chance to live. Whether you want it or not is not up to you.
I am here to negotiate with you to give you face.
To put it bluntly, your small Tuzuo country is not even as good as several counties in our Ming Dynasty.
The population controlled by the so-called Southern Dynasties is nothing more than the population of a few counties in the Ming Dynasty.
As a high-ranking official of the second rank in the Ming Dynasty, meeting you is already a compliment.
After returning, convey Ming's request well.
First, let Emperor Gogeyama escort the eldest son of the imperial family to the Ming Dynasty as a hostage; Second, if the Ming Dynasty helps the Japanese slaves gain an advantage in the Southern Dynasty in the future, [-]% of the land must be ceded to the Ming Dynasty as compensation;
Third, the Ming Dynasty helped the Southern Dynasty win the victory. All military salaries were paid by the Japanese Nunan court. If they could not pay it out for a while, they would use land as a mortgage; Fourth, the Ming Dynasty established ports within the jurisdiction of the Southern Court. Ming merchants went to the jurisdiction controlled by the Japanese Nunan Court to do business and were not controlled by local laws.
If a trader breaks the law within your jurisdiction, the Japanese Nunan court has no right to detain him and must be sent back to the Ming Dynasty for interrogation.
You must remember these four articles and convey them back to your Southern Court, Emperor Kameyama.
If he agrees, he will let his eldest son come over as a hostage next time.
If he does not agree, Ming Dynasty will immediately negotiate with the Northern Dynasty about your current situation.
The Ming Dynasty was happy to help the Northern Dynasty annex you and others.
Now you can still use the three great artifacts to intimidate the people. The Northern Dynasty used rat weapons against you, but the Ming Dynasty did not.
And if you agree to these conditions of Ming Dynasty, your southern court may be strong.
The Ming Dynasty could even help the Southern Court to destroy the Northern Dynasty. "
But after listening to the translation, Ijiro Matsushita translated all these four items and what Ling Han had just said, and he almost vomited blood when he heard it.
He raised his hand and slapped the table that was about the same height as his shoulder, and said angrily: "That's nonsense! The conditions mentioned by your envoy are too deceptive. Which one is like equal relations between the two countries and which one is not exploitation? .
If we agree to such humiliating conditions, then even if there is hope for the restoration of the country in the future, what is the difference between us and slaves? "
Ling Han smiled, "It's useless for you to wag your lips and bark here. What I'm telling you is just for you to convey.
You're a little person with limited vision, I've already given you enough face by letting you convey this.
Let you witness the restoration of the Japanese slaves by your southern court, so that you can leave a strong mark in the history of your Japanese slaves. You should wait for glory.
As for whether you agree to the conditions or not, what does it have to do with you? Why don't you convey it? "
After listening to what the translator said, Matsushita Ijiro jumped in anger.
But people have issued an eviction order, and he doesn't want to stay here.
In fact, every moment he stayed here, he felt like he was going to explode.
But when he went out, other envoys whispered: "Mr. Matsushita, although the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty seriously insulted us, what he said is not unreasonable."
Matsushita Ijiro's eyes widened, "Why is it such a humiliating and traitorous treaty? Do you want to sign it on behalf of us Japanese slaves?"
Another envoy said, "Sir, what the old man from the Ming Dynasty said makes some sense. We are indeed not qualified to agree on behalf of His Majesty, but we are not qualified to discuss it here.
Everything has to be decided by the court. We will return immediately to discuss with the court and let them decide why we should bear such responsibility. "
After hearing this, Matsushita Ijiro could only go out angrily.
The reason why Matsushita Ijiro felt humiliated was that other ministers did not feel this way.
It was entirely because the daimyo of Tosa Country where Matsushita Ijiro was located was his master, and he was a retainer.
Although today's Southern Court is still in the name of a court, it actually only has a small piece of territory like their master's.
If we agree to the Ming Dynasty's request, everyone will be better off if we if you lose, all the family members of Tosa Kingdom will be used. If you lose, all the retainers under the daimyo of Tosa Kingdom will die.
The other ministers either fled with the imperial court from the north, or they were the subjugated ministers of other daimyo who were exiled and exterminated.
Of course they didn't care.
Anyway, in one sentence, the responsibility cannot be shouldered by us, but by the people above.
In other words, Matsushita Ijiro could only sigh when he looked at the group of villains around him.
After they left, Ling Han was smiling in the hotel, and then someone came out.
This person is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Ling Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming out, he immediately stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, I wonder if what I just said is in line with your Majesty's wishes?"
Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Matsushita Jingjiro and others who were walking away.
He had murderous intentions just now.
He would kill such a small person, but for the larger plot, for the Iwami Silver Mine, for the Sado Gold Mine, and for the bright future of the Ming Dynasty, he could only hold back.
The reason why they just proposed the seemingly unreasonable and humiliating treaty was because they really wanted to sign it with the so-called Japanese Imperial Court?
No.
But to disrupt their thinking.
Let them think that Ming Dynasty's current plan is just to have friendship with them and let them curb the Japanese pirate rebellion.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty planned to capture all the Japanese slaves.
Then all the little devils here will either be eradicated or enslaved.
It’s just that the former has lessons from Kublai Khan’s two failed campaigns; Secondly, although the Ming Dynasty now has great ambitions, its logistical supplies are still slightly inferior. For such a far eastward expedition, even if Chen Han proposed such a good route and the strategy of a north-south pincer attack.
The two imperial courts in the north and south were at war with each other, allowing their wars to continue, and there would be other differences.
What Chen Han proposed was a strategy, but the specific tactics had to be formulated by Ming himself.
As an emperor who started out as a military man, Zhu Yuanzhang was best at fighting, and psychological warfare was also his specialty.
So these things were formulated by him himself.
The Japanese imperial court was reduced to working with pirates, and they were not picky eaters.
After listening to Ling Han's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "Okay!!"
……
Then the monarch and his ministers left the Concierge Hotel and headed northwest through the Bell and Drum Towers to the capital camp.
Here they met up with Prince Zhu Biao, who had arrived together, and wanted to go to the capital camp to see Xiping Hou Muying training musketeers.
Today is the fifteenth day of May in the 24th year of Hongwu, and there is already a hint of summer.
Mu Ying traveled to many places in the past month, selecting soldiers born along the coast from the Japanese troops in Zhejiang, Shandong and Fujian, and came to the military camp for training.
Mu Ying himself brought a thousand elite musketeers to serve as teachers for this time.
When Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Jiang Yu, and Ling Hanjun and his ministers arrived at the military camp, they heard the loud and rough training calls.
Muying trained these soldiers, and most of his time was spent training the formation.
Because whether he uses three-stage attacks, five-stage attacks, or three-talent formations or other formations, the most important thing is actually cooperation, and the most important thing is the tacit understanding between each other.
Basically, more than half of the time is spent training this aspect and the ability to hold weight with both arms.
These trainings made many soldiers feel strange after coming.
The moment they received the transfer order, they also received the order to do what they were asked to do.
All they could think about was what a musket was.
It is said that the musket can knock down an enemy a hundred steps away with just one raise of his hand, which is even more powerful than a sharp archer.
In the army, they often have shooting training, but to become a marksman not only requires several years of hard training, but also requires flexibility on the battlefield, and you may not have the opportunity to go on the battlefield.
Muskets are different. The training time is slightly shorter, and the shooting range is longer, which makes many people look forward to it.
Unexpectedly, after arriving here, they did not practice shooting as they expected.
Instead, they had to carry heavy weights every day, lift a piece of wood every day, and there was a stone hanging in front of the stick. They practiced for most of the day, which made them extremely irritable.
Some soldiers began to complain.
"I don't know what the commander-in-chief means? Aren't we here to be musketeers? I heard that the musketeers are all very impressive, and the three-eyed blunderbuss and fire blunderbuss they use are very powerful.
It was as loud as thunder, how majestic it was.
But what are we doing now? We are holding a wooden stick all day long. We have to carry such a heavy thing all day long.
You run and jump in this military camp every day. What are you doing?We are not new recruits. "
A soldier also said: "Who said it wasn't the case? I thought it would be a bit impressive, but I didn't expect that after I arrived, I still did the same job.
If I had known I was already at the original guardhouse, why would I come all the way here to receive such a bad thing? "
If one person talks like this, it will inspire the people around him.
Suddenly, it was like a boiling oil pan, a drop of water splashed into it, and the pan exploded.
Originally, everyone had just gotten together in the past few days, and had not yet gotten along, so people were a bit uneasy. After this, everyone was complaining.
Because they have been here for two or three days and have never touched a musket.
But on the first day, Mu Ying and his elite musketeers showed all the soldiers several mainstream muskets, which made the recruits jealous.
They all wanted to pull the trigger themselves, but they didn't get their turn at all.
One person said that of course there was no sound, but with so many people gathered in this teaching field, it was like entering a hornet's nest.
humming.
It was like arriving at a rural market.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others came here to admire the demeanor of these new soldiers, but they did not expect to see such a scene.
When Mu Ying heard the discussion on the side, she saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son, as well as Jiang Wei and Ling Han standing on the two-foot-high observation deck in the distance looking down, frowning. For a moment.
Mu Ying knew that this wind must be suppressed.
Fortunately, Mu Ying is not only good at fighting, but also good at training.
After seeing this situation, he directly pulled out the thousand elite musketeers he brought...
