Although Tokugawa Seuhiko was angry, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
He understands very well that now he is at a disadvantage and needs help from Dahua.
Whenever you open your mouth, you will definitely be attacked by poisonous tongues.
Moreover, it is not possible to fight back.
Keep your mouth shut, it's safer.
An Qing said: "Master Takeda also expressed his attitude just now. The prerequisite for the negotiation between Dahua and Japan is that both countries have the will for peace and the awareness to resolve their past feud. This consensus is extremely important. If there is no such consensus, then The preconditions for negotiation no longer exist.”
Takeda Yoshitomo hurriedly agreed: "Lord Yasuharu is right. This time, I came to Ryukyu to negotiate, and all the civil and military officials in the court had a positive attitude full of peace. We, the Japanese country, are willing to show the greatest sincerity, recognize our mistakes, and negotiate with Dahua To reconcile, we are willing to bury the hatchet and take an ice-breaking trip."
"well said."
An Qing said: "As long as the Japanese country can realize its mistakes, put down its hatred, lower its attitude, and is willing to use civilized means to deal with the South China Sea issue and solve difficult and complicated diseases, I will welcome it with both hands."
At this point, An Qing suddenly asked Tokugawa Seihiko: "Do you think what I said is right? Is settling the old grudges a prerequisite for negotiation?"
"Uh...this..."
Tokugawa Chenghiko was stunned for a long time, not daring to speak.
An Qing shook her head: "You were not allowed to speak just now, but you rushed to speak. Now that you are asked to speak, you pretend to be deaf and dumb. Is it possible that you don't want to settle the feud with Dahua?"
"No no no!"
Tokugawa Chenghiko was so frightened that he shook his head: "I think Master Anqing is right. Our Japanese country has realized its mistake and is willing to settle the past with Dahua."
An Qing said: "Since you think it's right, then we should move towards each other and make strides towards resolving our past feud."
Yoshitomo Takeda echoed: "Master Yasuharu's proposal is very good, I agree."
An Qing looked at Tokugawa Seihiko again.
Tokugawa Seuhiko learned his lesson and quickly expressed his stance: "I agree."
"very good."
An Qing said: "It is not easy for Dahua and Japan to resolve their past feud. They need civil servants and military officers to understand each other. Only with mutual trust can they truly have the opportunity to resolve their past feud."
Takeda Yoshitomo said: "Isn't the tacit negotiation between me and Lord Anqing just a case of mutual trust?"
An Qing smiled sweetly: "My negotiation with Mr. Takeda can indeed be called a perfect mutual trust. But..."
She changed the topic: "Our mutual trust is just a mutual trust between civil servants. But if we want to have true mutual trust, we must have mutual trust between civil servants and military officers."
"Especially the military. The two countries have just engaged in a military competition. They were fighting on the battlefield, with heavy casualties. There is a strong fighting spirit between them. I am afraid it will be difficult to build mutual trust between them overnight."
"And this is a big problem. No matter how correct and harmonious our discussions are, the generals have their own agendas. They dislike each other and cannot compromise. They must maintain a peaceful mind."
"This is a major hidden danger. When the warships of the two countries meet in the future, a fierce battle is inevitable."
"At that point, all the mutual trust we achieved at the negotiating table will be gone. So, from this perspective, do our negotiations and mutual trust have any meaning?"
Yoshitomo Takeda suddenly realized: "What Mr. Yasuharu said makes sense. Why didn't I think of this? If the mutual trust between the military and the military cannot be achieved, the mutual trust we reached at the negotiation table will be nothing more than a castle in the air and useless."
An Qing glanced at Tokugawa Seihiko from the corner of her eyes: "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Tokugawa Seihiko was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
An Qing said: "Do you think what I said is unreasonable? It seems that we can't even reach mutual trust at the negotiation table."
Tokugawa Seihiko was startled and quickly expressed his opinion: "I think what Mr. Anqing said is correct, and I support it."
He had to admit that there was no loophole in what An Qing said.
Start from the perspective of the big picture and start from the top down.
Open and close.
Extremely correct.
However, in Tokugawa Seihiko's view, these words are just the most correct nonsense.
All true, but without any real meaning.
In other words, they are singing a high note.
No nutrition whatsoever.
Tokugawa Chenghiko even believed that the things An Qing mentioned had no effect on negotiations.
To sum it up, three words.
Fake, big, empty!
But why did An Qing say this?
What purpose does she have?
This is what Tokugawa Chenghiko is most afraid of.
After all, it's impossible for a big shot like An Qing to say a lot of correct nonsense, right?
Therefore, Tokugawa Chenghiko was very troubled and answered An Qing's words carefully, for fear of being ambushed by An Qing.
An Qing said: "Master Takeda thinks what I said makes sense, and you also think what I said is completely correct. Therefore, the first thing we have to do is to make the generals in the military trust each other and clear up the past grudges. And this is how to turn hostility into friendship. premise."
"Next, I propose that military representatives from both sides be invited to the scene to get to know each other, resolve misunderstandings, enhance mutual trust between the two sides, and make forward-looking prerequisites for peace."
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "What Master Anqing said makes perfect sense."
She said to the people around her: "Hurry up and invite General Sendobei and other generals to come in and pay homage to Lord Yan."
The man looked at Tokugawa Seihiko again.
Tokugawa Seuhiko was undecided.
An Qing sneered: "Does the military listen to Lord Takeda's military orders? Until now, I still have doubts."
Tokugawa Seuhiko was so frightened that he hurriedly expressed his stance and reprimanded the personal guard: "What are you looking at? Takeda-sama is the first minister of the Taishengguan. Military affairs are her sole responsibility. Just obey what she says."
"yes!"
The guard hurried down.
An Qing also sent people down.
Soon after.
Xu Tianhu entered the scene with a group of generals.
Sendogai also entered the scene with three military representatives.
An Qing said: "You guys should introduce each other to avoid a military crisis."
Xu Tianhu introduced himself: "I am Xu Tianhu. In one sentence: Tokugawa Taiyasu was defeated by me. Is this sentence enough for you to know me?"
Such a ostentatious introduction made Sendogai and the three generals under his command at a loss.
Sendobei was okay, but the other three looked angry and their hair stood up when they heard that Xu Tianhu defeated Tokugawa Taiyasu.
After a long while, Xian Daobei introduced: "I am Xian Daobei. I have heard about General Xu's reputation for a long time. It is like thunder to my ears. I admire him very much."
The other three made guilty and angry introductions.
"I am Tokugawa Momoe."
"I am Tokugawa Ishizuru."
"I am Tokugawa Kuichi."
…
An Qing nodded slowly.
She immediately realized that the 200,000 sailors on this trip were still under the control of Tokugawa Seihiko.
Very strong.
