In fact, the Overthrow Alliance has always had channels to communicate with Ming officials.
For example, Mao Lixiu met Zhu Yousong through the Confucian scholars he supported, and had commercial cooperation with Zhu Yousong.
And now Mao Lixiu met Ming Dynasty official Zhang Youyu through Zhu Yousong.
After seeing Zhang Youyu, Mao Lixiu consciously knelt on the ground and said: "Mao Lixiu, a pariah from a small country, apologized for his subordinates' misunderstanding in shelling the nobles of China. We are willing to unconditionally accept any compensation request from China and only ask China to forgive us for our sins." "
Mao Lixiu knew that he could not try to prove that he did not bombard the Ming army at this time.
Because since the Ming Dynasty itself said that these defeated coalition forces shot and killed the Ming Dynasty people, then they have to admit it and cannot quibble.
After all, the people of Ming Dynasty themselves would not lie.
Who gave the Ming Dynasty its absolute strength now?
Seeing that Mao Lixiu was so sincere and sensible, Zhang Youyu smiled and said: "General Mao, please wake up. Since you have come to plead guilty in person, we will not give you a chance to change your ways. According to the Holy Spirit, if you want to Forgive you, you need to pay three million taels of silver as compensation for the fallen soldiers of the Ming Dynasty; in addition, you need to allow the Ming Dynasty to garrison troops in your Changzhou domain, so that we can rest assured that you will not offend again; and, I hope you will promise to treat Confucian scholars well, allow and encourage the spread of Sinology, set up a Sinology College, and encourage scholars in your area to learn Chinese characters."
"this."
Maori Xiu responded with some embarrassment.
"You can go back and think about it."
Zhang Youyu said.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Mao Lixiu said and left Zhang Youyu.
"It's already this time, and I still don't know how to show off. Your Majesty has already issued a reply and agreed to the purchase of flintlock guns worth five million yuan in silver coins by the shogunate army."
Qi Biaojia came out from behind the screen and said to Zhang Youyu.
Zhang Youyu smiled and said: "Everyone has illusions. Naturally, Mao Lixiu will not be so easily willing to be my Ming Dynasty's puppet."
"Yeah, but in the future they big names will understand that Sinicization is an irreversible trend. If they want to keep their wealth, they can only be Han's dogs and accept Sinicization, otherwise they will have to pay for their own ignorance. cost."
Qi Biaojia nodded and said.
"The next firearms sale will probably be with the Overthrow Alliance."
Zhang Youyu suddenly said this.
Qi Biaojia just smiled slightly.
Next, with the help of the Ming army and the replacement of new equipment purchased from the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate army regained a lot of lost territory and drove the fallen alliance back to the Kyushu area.
Even the general of Satsuma Domain, Kaguyama Hisaka, was captured alive and executed by Tokugawa Iemitsu.
As a result, Mao Lixiu couldn't sit still at all, and had to ask to see Zhang Youyu again, and agreed to all Zhang Youyu's previous requests.
In addition, Maori Xiu also begged the Ming Dynasty to give them help in overthrowing the alliance, so that they could save their homes and avoid being massacred by the shogunate army.
"Our Han culture has always had a benevolent heart and is kind to all things. Since you are asking for your home and your heart is to become a king, we will naturally not ignore it. Back then, the Lee family of Korea was almost destroyed. country, I went to the temple to issue an edict to support you because of your kindness, and it is the same now. I will request an edict from my great emperor for you."
Zhang Youyu said.
Maori Show expressed her gratitude.
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao issued a reply and allowed the Overthrow Alliance to purchase Daming firearms, and allowed the officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy to join the Overthrow Alliance in their own name and according to their own will to carry out humanitarian relief.
The reason why it is in a personal name is to make the words sound nice and avoid difficulty in explaining the matter.
And then, because the armies of the Overthrow Alliance also used Ming's firearms and had the help of Ming commanders, and because the Overthrow Alliance was highly motivated to fight to defend their sphere of influence, the shogunate army finally tried to attack The home base of the Fallen Alliance suffered a disastrous defeat.
The Tokugawa shogunate's offensive was frustrated.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu learned about this, he was furious. He drew his sword on the spot, slashed the air in front of him several times, and shouted: "Excessive! Extremely excessive! With the Ming Dynasty here, our shogunate can't even achieve substantive unification." Not even there!”
"General, please calm down. We must accept this fact now and cannot change it. The Ming Dynasty is the force that really determines the fate of our Japanese country. What we need to think about now is how to make the Ming Dynasty think that our shogunate is someone who can continue to cooperate." , we are no longer able to protect the interests of the entire Yamato nation, and we can no longer make decisions for all Japanese people. Our fate can only be puppets, or abandoned puppets."
The important minister Date Munjun said at this time Tokugawa Iemitsu.
After the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to expand its interests in Japan and even fully intervened in Japan's internal affairs, the national character of Japan would naturally awaken. This is inevitable.
Naturally, their ruling class would not willingly watch Ming dominate their territory.
Just like the Japanese Restoration after the Black Ship Incident in history.
Everyone in the current Japanese ruling class, including Tokugawa Iemitsu himself, will also be dissatisfied with the current Ming Empire.
The same goes for Date Munejun, but he now has to remind Tokugawa Iemitsu that they have no way to fight against the Ming Dynasty and can only compromise or even flatter him.
Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but put away his sword because of what Date Munjun said, and smiled bitterly: "Puppet! You are right, we can only be puppets now, and even try to be the most satisfactory puppet to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Only when the people of the Ming Dynasty are satisfied can they be qualified to continue to rule the Japanese for the Ming Dynasty."
Saying that, Tokugawa Iemitsu added: "But this is really infuriating. I want to commit seppuku every minute now! Only in this way can I ignore the shame of our Yamato nation!"
puff!
The important minister Yagyu Munenomi suddenly cut his abdomen with a knife. He endured the severe pain and looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu: "The general is right. Since the safety of the shogunate is now in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, even if the minister is superb in martial arts, Although he is proficient in knowledge, he is of no value to the shogunate. Instead of watching Yamato being oppressed by the Han people, I would rather commit suicide by committing seppuku! Goodbye, general!"
Saying that, Yagyu Munenomi pulled back the knife and fell to the floor.
Tokugawa Iemitsu and Date Munejun watched this scene and remained silent for a long time.
…
Zhu Youxiao was silent for a long time as he looked at the bill of grain imported by Japan for the purchase of arms from the Ming Dynasty and the silver compensation bill for the collapsed alliance presented by the Shipping Department.
He knew that Ming Dynasty made so much money now because it successfully exploited the civil strife in the Japanese country and it was the result of hegemonism.
After thinking about the scene that later generations saw at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders, Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "It's better to make profits from abroad! The imperial edict and officials are very concerned about this participation in the downfall of Japan. All the officials of the Ming Dynasty who participated in the movement were praised, their titles were promoted by one level, and their wives' titles were increased by one level."
