Chapter 395 The Edo Treaty is signed, new target: Satsuma Domain in Kyushu!
Chapter 395: The Edo Treaty was signed, new goal: Kyushu Satsuma Phanta!
"Did he say that?" Tokugawa's family was wiping a treasure knife in his hand with a piece of white silk, feeling the beautiful patterns on it, and said lightly. Although he was very anxious inside, he had to maintain his majesty as the head of a country, the head of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the eleventh generation general. Therefore, he calmed himself by wiping the knife, but the hand that tightly squeezed the hilt of the knife's fingertips still exposed his gloom and anger.
Looking at the chilling feeling soaked in the sword and the burning anger in the eyes of Tokugawa Ichiki, who was vicious and vicious, Matsuhei Nobua tried to lower his head. "That is, now, the general of the Ueko country has led his fleet to Yokosuka Fishing Village on the other side of Edo Bay, saying that he would wait for our reply on the shore there."
"Ten thousand and twenty million guan, that is, ten twenty million taels of gold, fortunately they were embarrassed to say this amount. Not to mention the Satsuma clan, even if our country wants to compensate for this money, it is probably not enough to empty everyone's pockets." Next to him, an old man in his fifties spoke slowly. This person is Jiji, the biological father of Tokugawa Kichi.
Tokugawa Ieki, the heir of Tokugawa Ieji, the tenth-generation general of the shogunate, died suddenly after a hunting, while Ieji's other son, Sashijiro, died prematurely, so Ieji had no male heir. At that time, his father, Jiji, worked at the important minister of Ieji's family, and may have been recommended by Yiji. The eight-year-old Kazuki became the heir of Tokugawa Ieji.
Later, he became a general. Tokugawa's family knew very well and respected his father's abilities. Otherwise, he would not have granted his father Jiji as the Great Imperial Office in order to honor his father Jiji. However, the Great Imperial Office was a title that only those who had been generals had. Matsupei Tadashi strongly opposed it. In the end, Tokugawa's family and his father finally dismissed Matsupei Tadashi by taking advantage of the Russian merchant incident.
Hearing that his father had spoken, Tokugawa's family gave his beloved general to his little surname and said respectfully to Jiji: "My father, what do you think you should do."
"Matsuhei, Matsuo, do you think the general should sign this treaty?" Ji Ji was also very troubled. This fact was too big, so he wanted to hear the opinions of Matsuhei Nobuaki and Matsuo Tadashi.
"I can't sign it. I think the Qing Dynasty is really too insulting our country. Once such a treaty is signed, the name of the general and the Tokugawa family will plummet. Therefore, I think that the troops from all over the country should be urgently mobilized to support Edo. I am willing to fight to the death so that the Qing Dynasty can know the spirit of the warriors in my country of sunrise." Tadashi Makino replied loudly.
After hearing Tadashi Makino's answer, Ji Ji's face showed a faint smile, which could be called a relief. In fact, he was so excited that he was really an old man. If such a stupid idea could be used, he would still have to negotiate? Tadashi Makino was just pretending to be stupid.
"I think that some treaties can be signed. After all, the Qing Dynasty had many things that our country needed, such as food and cloth, and silk... Of course, everything depends on the general." Nobunata Matsupi said this, which was equivalent to not saying it.
"Two, what I asked is, if things have reached the point where they are ineffective, do you think the Emperor should come forward to sign the treaty?" These two guys are cunning, and Kaji Ji is also cunning, so they just point directly to the center of the problem.
Tadaichi Makino shouted loudly: "You can't sign, you can't sign no matter what. General, since those Qing people dared to park in Yokosuka, I ask the general to mobilize the three samurai troops to defend Edo. I lead the dead soldiers to sneak in at night and set fire to the enemy. If they can gather and annihilate them, they can make Daming subdue and dare not have any other intentions. If they can severely damage this fleet, they will definitely have to retreat in disgrace."
"What if your plan fails to succeed and instead angers the Qing people?" Matsuhira Nobu understood Tadao Makino and said coldly.
Hearing this, Tadashi Makino could not continue to howl. He really couldn't guarantee that his plan would be 100% successful. However, he still retorted unwillingly: "If you don't try it, how can you know that it won't succeed?"
"General, the ninja sent out has returned." At this time, a young surname came over and reported respectfully.
"Let him come in." The Tokugawa family waved his hand, and soon, a ninja wrapped in tight black clothes entered the hall. "General, the villain has discovered that the Qing warships have already been roaming the shore at Yokosuka Fishing Village. After they got ashore, they did not go to live in the fishing village, but built a camp on the shore. The defense is very strict, and the villain has no way to sneak in. However, the villain can see from a distance that there are at least thousands of soldiers, and they all hold iron cannons, and there are also many large tubes transported to the shore, as if they are used for defense."
Upon hearing this news, Tokugawa's family couldn't help but breathe: "You mean, you all have iron cannons?"
"That's it." The ninja replied again with affirmation. Nobua Matsuhei and others couldn't help but feel a chill. They knew very well that this kind of thing was far more powerful than that of bows and arrows, but it was very expensive. Even the Tokugawa Shogunate's army in Edo had only one iron cannon team of thousands of people.
Of course, although the outrageously dense warship guns made them feel that they had almost lost hope, they were on the sea, so they still felt a little unwilling to do it and wanted to fight with each other on land with real swords and guns.
But when he heard that the number of soldiers on the other side was several thousand and each of them had an iron cannon, he thought of the neat roaring scene of thousands of iron cannons on the battlefield, even Tadaichi Makino, who believed that he was unparalleled in martial arts, was still weak.
"When did the Qing Dynasty become so powerful?" Tokugawa's family couldn't help but sigh. Thinking back to the time when Toyotomi Hidehoko's expedition to North Korea, not only defeated North Korea, but also severely damaged the Ming Dynasty's vitality. However, today, the other party only sent such a fleet, which left him helpless and had no means to deal with the other party's powerful force.
"General, the old minister thinks that for the sake of the present, he can only summon the three families of the Imperial Family..." Zhi Ji's words made everyone stunned and looked at the general's father in shock.
Three days later, the Tokugawa tribe finally made their final decision, asking the Emperor to send envoys to negotiate with the Qing people, at least to sign the treaty in the name of the Emperor.
When the news spread to the Kyoto Imperial Office, Emperor Guangge was silent for nearly half a cup of tea, and a smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, Amaterasu, bless me..."
"Long live the Emperor!" On the floor in front of him, all the confidants were pouring out of their bodies, crying loudly with tears in their faces. Takayama Masayuki burst into tears and kowtowed to the Emperor, causing his forehead to be red, swollen and bleeding, as if he hadn't noticed it.
At this time, Emperor Guangge stood up, walked to Masayuki Takayama, and reached out to help these confidants who were still loyal when they were embarrassed. Looking at these excited faces, Emperor Guangge was so excited that he wanted to howl. He owed the heads to these people slightly: "For this matter, please give me all..."
Soon, the envoys of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, asked for a port to be opened and the news of acknowledging Hokkaido as the territory of the Qing Dynasty began to spread in Kogi. Afterwards, the 11th general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Kichi, invited His Majesty's envoys to go to Edo to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty envoys. For a moment, the daimyos were shocked and looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the shogunate, which had been closely monitoring and suppressing the emperor, would actually serve as the envoys of the Emperor to go to Edo to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty envoys, which made them feel something indescribable. Some people even suspected that the Tokugawa Shogunate wanted to return the power to the Emperor?
Emperor Mitsugu's envoy, Nakanoyan Fujiwara Kitsunobu, Deputy Envoy Matsuhiro Matsuhiro Nobuaki, Deputy Envoy Osaka Castle Tadao Tadaeju Liang Pengfei rushed to Liang Pengfei's battleship before the ultimatum.
After just two days, except for a few slight changes, the Emperor's envoy and the Shogunate envoy who were working together on the outside but actually undermining each other generally agreed to all terms.
However, there are differences in the two points raised by Liang Pengfei. That is, the shogunate period is recognized as the sect leader of Koki. If there is anyone disrespectful to the sect of the sect, the sect of Koki, the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of
After half a day of bargaining and still not reaching an agreement on this, Master Liang finally couldn't help but point out the negotiator Ni Ming, the negotiator, and this sentence made the shogunate and the emperor representative shut up.
"If you think you want to take responsibility for those daimyos who angered our Celestial Empire, then should our Celestial Army come to you for this 20,000 taels of gold?" After Ni Ming said this, Fujiwara Kitsunobu, Matsuhei Nobua and others collectively remained silent. No matter who it was, they were unwilling to take this responsibility for the Satsuma clan.
In the end, it took less than five days to reach an agreement on all terms and sign the contract. After only five days, the content of the Edo Treaty signed by Emperor Mitsuka and the shogunate representatives and the Celestial Kingdom was gradually learned by those daimyos.
Kojiki will no longer be able to follow the original trajectory of their history. Hokkaido has become a piece of meat in Liang Pengfei's hands, and Kyushu Island will also become two bright fangs with Hokkaido's Kojiki.
On the day of signing the treaty, Liang Pengfei immediately set sail after leaving two thousand garrisons in Yokosuka, with his target: Kagoshima Castle, the residence of the Satsuma family in Kyushu Satsumashimazu family.
