Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 541 Alliance
"The alliance between your country and our country, since the poor country has undertaken the important task of resisting the Ming army in advance, at least part of the food and supplies should be allocated to your country. This request should not be too much, right?"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu was about to nod his head, but fortunately, Nobutsuna Nakamatsuhira took the lead and said: "This alliance is still to be discussed. Let's discuss the matter later!"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu came back to his senses.That's right, I haven't agreed to form an alliance yet!

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but glance at this treacherous Jurchen angrily. How could he feel that he was as cunning as the Han people, and there was a trap in his words!
"Your country is surrounded by sea on all sides. With the wisdom of your lord general, you naturally know that it is not a long-term solution." After hearing this, Fan Wencheng was slightly disappointed, and continued to persuade, "Although North Korea is mountainous, at least it is better to live in." Islands. My country has sincerity and is willing to surrender North Korea. The general can expand the territory and occupy North Korea without any effort. It is far more powerful than the previous General Toyotomi. It is enough to leave a name in history and be remembered by future generations of your country. respect!"

Anyway, when it comes to flattering, he is already very skilled at it, but now the target is different.Needless to say, after Tokugawa Iemitsu heard this, his anger towards him dissipated a lot at once.

Fan Wencheng, who had been observing, saw that Tokugawa Iemitsu's expression had changed again, so he continued, "To tell you the truth, compared with the Ming Dynasty, my Qing Dynasty was far behind in terms of firearms. Even if the Qing invaded the capital of the Ming state four times, it threatened the capital of the Ming state but was unable to take down the capital in the end. If I have the bravery of the Qing Dynasty, plus your country's firearms, of course, and the strength of the navy, Then, the fate of the Ming Kingdom will definitely not last long!"

"Hehe, how did I hear that you Jurchens have lost several battles of the Ming army in a row?" Matsudaira Nobuzuna suddenly smiled after hearing this, and then asked.

The Japanese secretly sneaked into North Korea. Naturally, they caught the North Koreans and asked about some situations.

However, although the Japanese had a source of news, how could those North Koreans who were arrested know how much news, and most of them were hearsay.But this does not prevent Matsudaira Nobuzuna from speaking out against each other.

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he couldn't help but turned his head to look at Ying Erdai, turned around, and had to admit: "That's right, although the Qing Dynasty was indeed at fault for being rude, as I said just now, the only difference is the firearms and water. Master, what I just said about entering the capital of the Ming Kingdom four times is absolutely true. I dare to swear to God on this point. If the Ming Kingdom is really powerful, how can it be possible for my Qing soldiers to encircle the Ming Kingdom? What about the capital city? If you don’t believe me, you can immediately ask the general about the details of these four battles, and I believe that with your country’s ability, you should be able to tell the truth from the fake.”

He didn't lie, at least 12 years before Chongzhen, he entered the pass four times and was invincible in the pass. This is also an iron fact.Therefore, he dared to speak like that.

Hearing this, Ying Erdai couldn't help admiring Fan Wencheng's quick wit in his heart, and once again secretly praised His Royal Highness the Regent's brilliance and martial arts, he recognized a good slave with his eyesight!

Needless to say, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help turning his head to look at Masashige Inoue when he heard this.If you want to talk about things like asking for news, Masashige Inoue is none other than Masashige.

Naturally, Inoue Masashige knew that the matter was of great importance. When he saw Tokugawa Iemitsu looking over, he immediately understood. He actually stood up in front of him and bowed to leave, apparently to verify the matter.

Ometsu's duty is to monitor the behavior of senior shogunate officials, especially the shogunate officials of daimyo.Although it is only the banner, it is equivalent to the treatment of a daimyo.One of his duties is to observe words and expressions and check whether they are lying or not.Therefore, as soon as Inoue Masashige came out of the conference hall, he immediately summoned his capable men and began to question the Jurchens separately.

Not long after, he returned to the chamber and nodded at Iemitsu Tokugawa.

As soon as Iemitsu Tokugawa saw that the matter was of great importance, he found an excuse to take a break. As for what to do, Fan Wencheng also understood by heart, so naturally he would not have any opinions.

Without outsiders around, Inoue Masashige told Tokugawa Iemitsu: "Master General, when every Jurchen talks about these things, they can match the details, even if they suddenly interrupt the conversation, divert the question, etc., They are all the same. And their words and deeds are absolutely sincere, and they are very proud. Jurchen invaded the Ming country four times, it should be true."

Tokugawa Iemitsu still believed what Ometsu himself said.Hearing this, I couldn't help being very excited.

To be honest, although he also coveted the mainland and the land of Ming, he was still a little worried about Ming's combat power.However, at this time, I learned that the Ming Kingdom is actually so vulnerable. If it is careless to say that the capital was besieged by the Jurchen soldiers once, what about the second, third, and fourth time?Every time the Jurchens robbed so many people and supplies, could it be that the Ming Dynasty did not want them on purpose?
At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu had made up his mind, and said to his confidants: "This is an opportunity bestowed by Amaterasu, we must not miss it!"

"My lord, the Jurchens can't believe everything they say. They must have encountered difficulties." Matsudaira Nobuzuna reminded in time, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to take the initiative to come to the door. Next, the general doesn't need to show up, just let the subordinates Go down and try it out, ask the real situation, and then form an alliance with it! ”

He was a veteran of the shogunate, and he usually handled government affairs instead of Tokugawa Iemitsu. He also had the ability to lead the army to fight, and suppressed the sensational Shimabara Rebellion.In the original history, it was he who suppressed the Qing'an Rebellion that attempted to overthrow the shogunate.It can be said that this is an old and cunning guy.

Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally trusted his ability.Therefore, the matter of forming an alliance with the Jurchens was entrusted to him to execute.

Not to mention, Matsudaira Nobutsuna did not live up to Tokugawa Iemitsu's trust.Although they have already made a decision, they must capture North Korea, and they have been secretly preparing for this.But at this time, he acted unhurried, and in the end, Ying Erdai and Fan Wencheng couldn't sit still.After all, that bird in Liaodong is in urgent need of food and supplies.

Therefore, after revealing some more facts, the two sides finally settled on the alliance.The main contents are as follows:
First, the two countries form an alliance, of which the Wa Kingdom is the elder brother and the Man Qing is the younger brother.When Dorgon saw Tokugawa Iemitsu, he had to perform the ceremony first; when Fulin saw the Emperor, he had to perform the ceremony first.In addition, the daughter of the regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was going to marry the son of Tokugawa Iemitsu, making Qin and Jin a good relationship.

Second, the Manchu Qing wanted to block the Ming army in Liaodong, and the Ming army was not allowed to attack North Korea by land.On the Wa country side, it will support the Manchu Qing grain and grass materials, and deliver them from the Sea of ​​Ezo.

Third, on the coastal side, the navy of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to the Wa Kingdom to deal with.If the Ming army came from the sea, it has nothing to do with the Manchu Qing.However, once the Ming Dynasty really landed from the sea to attack North Korea, the Manchu Qing had to send troops to North Korea to assist the Japanese army in destroying the Ming army.

Fourth, when the Wa Kingdom has gained a firm foothold in North Korea, no more than two years at the latest, the Wa Kingdom must send troops to Liaodong to deal with the Ming army together with the Manchus.

Fifth, if the two countries join forces in the future, if the Ming Kingdom is conquered, the Yellow River will be used as the boundary. The north of the Yellow River will belong to the Qing Dynasty; the south of the Yellow River will belong to the Wa Kingdom.

Sixth, the two countries will always be brotherly states and shall not attack each other for any reason.

This agreement is considered satisfactory to both parties.

For the Japanese country, Xianbai occupied the territory of North Korea and had a foothold, which was tantamount to taking advantage.On land, with the Jurchens blocking the Ming army, there would no longer be the situation where the Japanese army was attacked by the Ming army when their foothold in Korea was not stable.As for the Ming army coming by sea, the Japanese side already knew what the Denglai navy was in, so they were not worried at all.Furthermore, just in case, the Japanese side also had other plans.

With two years to run North Korea, the Tokugawa shogunate believes that at that time, the food and grass for the army can be settled on the spot, and it can also make up for the inconvenience of transporting food and grass from Japan during the Toyotomi era, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the war. .

If the Ming Dynasty is conquered in the future, the colorful world of the Ming Dynasty and the most fertile places will be owned by the Japanese country. This is also a huge benefit.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu and others were very satisfied, and began to prepare and provide food and materials for Jianlu.

As for Ying Erdai and Fan Wencheng, their purpose of sending envoys to Japan had been achieved.Not only did it solve the serious short-term food shortage problem in the Qing Dynasty, but it also dragged the Japanese country into trouble.No matter how short the Japanese were, their firearms and navy were indeed urgently needed by the Qing Dynasty.If the two countries join forces, it may not be impossible to defeat the Ming Dynasty!
As for the regent's only daughter who is going to marry to the Wa country, after all, she is still young at this time, only seven years old. In name, it is decided that if Daqing recovers and her strength recovers, it is not a matter of regretting the marriage. .If the strength is not enough, I believe that it is no problem to believe that the regent's heart is for the country.

What else is called a brother, whether to perform the ceremony first, to be honest, the Qing side really doesn't care much.Are you crazy to care about these etiquettes even when you are starving to death?

Yingerdai Dorgon had carte blanche entrusted authority, so there was no need to go back and ask for instructions and go back and forth, and it was settled directly.

Afterwards, Ying Erdai immediately returned to Liaodong, reported the matter to Dorgon, and made corresponding preparations.Fan Wencheng, on the other hand, stayed in Edo as a deputy envoy and became a representative responsible for communicating with the Japanese at any time.

While Tokugawa Iemitsu was preparing for the war with all his strength, there was also one thing that could not be ignored. He had to solve it first before he could feel at ease. He even held a secret meeting to make some decisions.

No, Zheng Zhibao is worrying in his own mansion, how to send out the alliance between Jianlu and the Japanese, or should he listen to the emperor, someone else will be responsible for sending the news, so he doesn't care?

At this time, Menzi came to report again, saying that Nobutsuna Nakamatsudaira, the old Tokugawa shogunate, came to the door in person and waited for him at the door.
