Ambassador Annan looked surprised: "I don't know why the king arranged it like this. It's probably... it's probably a normal rotation."
"Normal rotation?"
When Tokugawa Taiyasu heard this, his face immediately dropped.
In order to maintain close ties with the countries in the South China Sea, he knelt down and mingled with the ambassadors of the countries in the South China Sea.
Not only did he take them to eat, drink and have fun, he also gave them money and beautiful women.
All in all, everything satisfies them.
Finally, he captured these ambassadors and willingly obeyed the mercy of Tokugawa Taiyasu.
Why did Tokugawa Taiyasu want to get the ambassadors of the South China Sea countries?
Not only because the Thirty-six Chaebol were abducted by Yan Qi, the Japanese economy was paralyzed and everything was in chaos.
Tokugawa Taiyasu should start rebuilding the business circle and support red-top merchants again.
If a merchant wants to export his goods, he must have a good relationship with the ambassadors of various countries.
However, just after Tokugawa Taiyasu spent his time on the ambassadors of various countries, he received the bad news that the ambassadors had resigned.
How can there be such a crowd?
To say that this is a normal transfer, it is reasonable and reasonable for the ambassador of any country to be transferred.
However, this situation is obviously different. The ambassadors of the fifteen countries in the South China Sea have all been transferred.
This arrangement is too targeted.
Could it be that the countries in the South China Sea are communicating with each other and acting together?
Tokugawa Taiyasu asked the Siamese ambassador again: "Can your Excellency leave a few days later?"
The Ambassador of Siam shook his head: "I was transferred from Japan to take up a post in Tianzhu. I must arrive within twenty days. Therefore, I have no time to delay. Today I say goodbye to you, sir."
Tokugawa Taiyasu asked everyone: "Are you all so anxious?"
"Yes, the transfer order is too urgent and I dare not delay."
"It was an emergency and we had to leave immediately."
"We meet today to say goodbye to Lord Tokugawa."
…
Tokugawa Taiyasu was furious: "How can you leave when the new ambassador has not yet arrived? Aren't you going to hand over the handover? I don't agree. I will only agree to let you leave when the new ambassadors from various countries arrive in the capital. Otherwise, this matter will never be considered." ."
"this……"
The ambassadors from various countries looked pale.
"Ahem, Tokugawa-sama, why is this necessary? We are just making normal remarks. If you hold us captive, it will not affect the king's order."
"That's right, that's right, if Tokugawa-sama is reluctant to leave us, we will naturally come back to visit you in the future. Why should you be so reluctant to leave us?"
"Even if Tokugawa-sama detained us here, it would not change anything. Instead, it would alienate us from you. You have great wisdom, so you will not do stupid things."
…
You say something to everyone, and I say something.
Tokugawa Taiyasu was extremely anxious.
How could he not let go of these ambassadors?
There is no emotion at all.
But because he spent a lot of money and precious time on ambassadors from various countries.
They ate until their mouths were full of oil, and they didn't do anything for themselves. They ate everything and ran away.
How can there be such a beautiful thing in this world?
However, if you use strong force against these big ones, it will be a bad choice.
After all, there is a contract with Ambassador Fuzai.
Moreover, even if he does not respect the contract and kills the ambassador, then the countries in the South China Sea will not send ambassadors in the future.
That situation was equivalent to a complete breakup, and the situation was even worse.
Moreover, Tokugawa Taiyasu still hopes to do business in the countries in the South China Sea.
Without trade, the Japanese economy would immediately come to a standstill.
How to fight against Yan Qi without money?
What made Tokugawa Taiyasu even more alarmed was that the ambassadors of the fifteen countries in the South China Sea were transferred together.
Is there a conspiracy here?
Puzzled.
The more Tokugawa Taiyasu thought about it, the more depressed he became.
What to do?
The ambassadors from various countries stood up and said, "Lord Tokugawa, we take our leave."
"In the future, Lord Tokugawa will come to our country, and I will invite you to tea."
"We will definitely repay you generously for your kindness to us."
…
Everyone stood up to leave.
Tokugawa Taiyasu became anxious and stood up suddenly: "Who dares to leave?"
He stopped drinking and roared with a murderous aura.
The ambassadors from all the countries were so frightened that their backs were covered with cold sweat, and no one dared to move.
for a long time.
Everyone sighed.
"Master Tokugawa, we know that you have worked hard on us, and we really want to do something for Master Tokugawa. However, who made us be transferred away in a hurry. There is nothing we can do about it. "
"Sir Tokugawa, we are just ambassadors and have no decision-making power. Even if you forcefully detain us, what will it do?"
"Maybe Tokugawa-sama thought you had paid too much for us, so we left as soon as we were beaten. You were extremely unfair and even wanted to kill us to satisfy your hatred. Faced with this situation, we are powerless and can only let you be slaughtered. However, What good does this do to you, sir? In fact, it doesn’t even do any good at all! Please think about it carefully, sir."
"If you don't kill us and let us live, we will still be good friends in the future. After all, we have gained a lot of money and beautiful women from Lord Tokugawa and enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun."
"Even though we are no longer the ambassadors of the Japanese countries, we still have many friends in the country. If you want to do something, we can work through our friends. Although the energy is limited and a bit roundabout, having many friends and multiple paths is better than It would be much better if you kill us and become nothing."
…
The ambassadors of various countries said these words one by one.
Tokugawa Taiyasu clearly understood the pros and cons.
He knew that killing the envoys of fifteen countries could only vent his anger. All the investment in them in the past would become worthless, and he would even directly offend the countries in the South China Sea.
If you let them leave peacefully, maybe they will say a few words for themselves and be of some help at critical moments.
Alas, fly meat is also meat.
Tokugawa Taiyasu's heart was like a knife, the pain was terrible, and all his hard work was wasted in this moment.
He suppressed the grief in his heart and forced out a kind smile: "My lords, we are all friends. I was just joking with you just now. You were shocked, shocked, hahahaha."
The envoys from various countries also laughed.
well.
This level has been passed with no danger.
Tokugawa Taiyasu continued to be polite: "I am friends with everyone, how can I stop everyone's bright future? Don't worry, I will practice it for you. I hope you can remember me in the future. If there is anything urgent, say a few words for me Good words.”
"Thank you, Tokugawa-sama, for your hospitality."
"We admire Lord Tokugawa for his noble character and integrity."
"Our trip is not in vain if we can receive Lord Tokugawa's warm hospitality."
…
Tokugawa Taiyasu warmly entertained the envoys of fifteen countries abroad.
He toasted with everyone, and finally expressed his expectations: "After you return to the country, please immediately help me find out who the new envoy to Japan is? I want to get to know him in advance, and prepare my own I would like to pay you a courtesy visit."
"Please help me. I believe this small favor will not embarrass you, right?"
Everyone nodded eagerly after hearing this: "Definitely, definitely."
