Chapter 1238 Compensation
However, Mei Chuan Shangyi did not expect that when his motorcade appeared on the streets of the capital, it would receive the impact of more Ming people, as long as they could easily get things, they would throw them on the car.Countless holes were smashed into this carriage in one fell swoop.By the time the Wucheng soldiers and Ma Sijun who were patrolling the street came to reinforce him, he already had several bags on his head.

As a result, Mei Chuan Shangyi felt extremely depressed, touched the few extra bags she had left, and couldn't help but think regretfully, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have to hit my head with money!
When he came back to his senses, he decided that no matter what, he must seek justice later.Those Daming civilians would run away if they smashed it. If they couldn't catch it, there was nothing they could do, but the escorting soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not be able to escape!

After finally arriving at Honglu Temple, the Japanese breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at each other's embarrassment, there was a thought in their hearts, when did the people of Daming become so cruel, and to them, Daming was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?

Mei Chuan Shangyi didn't tidy herself up, and even deliberately made herself more embarrassed in the carriage, then got out of the carriage, snorted coldly at the escorting general, and handed over the letter of credence.

He had already thought about it, and when the Minister of Hui Honglu Temple came out, he must sue on the spot, and he would not be able to solve the problem unless he saw the escorting soldiers taken down with his own eyes. The depression in this chest.

However, what he did not expect was that when the letter of credence was handed over, the minister of Honglu Temple did not come out to greet him, but the little official who went in to report came back and threw the letter of credence to Mei Chuan Shangyi with a cold face, and at the same time said coldly Said: "As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, your Wa country has invaded my Ming Dynasty many times. Is this still a vassal state? Get lost!"

Hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi was taken aback, and immediately forgot about what he was going to sue, his brains turned sharply, and while picking up the credentials, he quickly replied with a smile: "No matter, we will tell you the most It’s about etiquette. If the Celestial Dynasty cared about the Japanese pirate rebellion, it was not the will of our vassal state, but the actions of a few bandits in our country. Our vassal state also tried its best to prevent them from harassing the Celestial Dynasty!"

When he said this, he suddenly came back to his senses. Could it be because of those things in the past that Ming Kingdom is now very hostile to Wa Kingdom?But even so, it's the Daming Jiangnan side, it has nothing to do with the north!Why are the people in the north so cruel to people like themselves?
Hearing this, the little official sneered and said again: "You still dare to quibble, what's the point of invading North Korea twice during the Wanli period? And making enemies of the Heavenly Soldiers, is it also the work of a few bandits in the Wa Kingdom?"

"..." Mei Chuan Shangyi was stunned when he heard it, and immediately came back to his senses, and quickly replied, "That was done by that monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi. My general just couldn't see such a disobedience to the upper kingdom, so he raised his troops." Overthrew Toyotomi Hideyoshi that monkey.”

Hearing this, the little official twitched his mouth, and said with disdain, "How dare you say you know etiquette, but if there is anything to do, you will push it away. Don't you want to be shameless? Such a country that does not know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame is also worthy of being a vassal state of our Daming, our Daming It’s not bad if you don’t crusade against you, get out!”

Get out, that's impossible, Mei Chuan Shangyi has a great mission, if he can't complete the mission, the country of Wa will be in danger!

At this time, he also ignored the person in front of him, who was just a small official, and solemnly presented the letter of credence, and took out another imperial decree: "The Taizu of the Ming Dynasty has a decree that our country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a country that will not be conquered." , this is an iron-clad fact, do you want to resist the decree?"

After a bit of hardening, he immediately softened again, and said with a smile again: "Our general knows that we have been ashamed of everything in the past, so this time the tribute came with sincerity, please pass it on again!"

If the Emperor Taizu moved out, there was no other way. The petty official re-entered the house to report a little depressed. After half the salary, he came out with a green-robed petty official and told them to go in.

Mei Chuan Shangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing her.He hastily thanked him, and just when he was about to go in, he felt the pain in his head again, so he remembered the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were escorting him again.

Therefore, he immediately complained to the green-robed official: "My lord, the envoy came to the heaven to pay tribute piously, but he was besieged by unreasonable people along the way, and these soldiers who escorted them did not do their best. My lord Please look at the bags on the forehead of this envoy, they were all suffered along the way. These soldiers are so dereliction of duty, please punish them severely!"

Hearing this, the people of the other Wa kingdoms nodded repeatedly, and looked at the soldiers of the Ming kingdom who escorted them with hatred, just waiting to see them. unambiguous evidence.

What they didn't expect was that the green-robed official replied coldly after hearing this: "It's not bad for you Japanese people to survive to the capital. Now you still want to make things difficult for your escorts. Those who are wolf-hearted and dog-lung are people from the country of ungratefulness!"

Mei Chuan Shangyi was dumbfounded when she heard it, is this okay?There is such a saying?

Not only him, but all the Japanese people are stupid. They never expected that they would get such an answer after complaining.

The green-robed officer ignored them, and said kindly to the escorting general: "You guys have worked hard all the way, go and go through the formalities!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The general quickly saluted, "If it weren't for the fact that the military order is difficult to violate, I would like to beat up these pirates myself!"

After finishing speaking, he led his men to go through the formalities and went back.

Seeing them leave, and even seeing a few soldiers spitting "Yah", Mei Chuan Shangyi and the others were a little stunned.At this time, they felt a strong hostility.I thought they were just some troublemakers before, but now it seems that everyone in Ming Dynasty is hostile to them, including civil servants and military personnel!

The envoys who came to pay tribute in the past were not treated like this!Mei Chuan Shangyi thought in her heart, and decided that no matter what, she must ask clearly, otherwise, life will be too sad if this continues!
After hitting the wall several times, he finally broke open an old man who cleaned the place where he lived with 50 taels of silver.

Seeing that the old man was a little evasive, took 50 taels of silver, and hid in Mei Chuan Shangyi's room, before he dared to speak: "If you have any questions, ask quickly, if others see it, I will be poked." Backbone!"

Mei Chuan Shangyi was a little puzzled, but she couldn't take care of it at this time, and asked quickly: "I want to understand why we Japanese people are so unpopular in the heavens, as if everyone is shouting and beating?"

After hearing this, the sweeping uncle replied with such a face: "Our Daming was terribly harmed by Jianlu. In the past, in Liaodong and Gyeonggi, I don't know how many people were killed and their families were ruined! Everyone remembers it in their hearts. .”

Mei Chuan Shangyi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out the logic after a while, so he could only ask: "But... But what does Jianlu's evil deeds have to do with our country?"

"How can it be okay?" The sweeping uncle said with contempt on his face: "Speaking of which, it's not a good thing you have done!"

Mei Chuan Shangyi continues to be confused...

"If it hadn't been for your Wa country to invade our Korean province, our Ming army wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to support it. Wars require death and cost money. How many people died in our Ming Dynasty and how much money did we spend?" Do you know how much money is there? Jianlu took advantage of this opportunity to rise up and harm Ming Dynasty after your country. Tell me, do you want to pay you a debt?"

It sounded reasonable, Mei Chuan Shangyi nodded, and suddenly came back to his senses, then quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, what I mean is that Jianlu is the right owner of this matter, and Daming should go to Jian prisoner……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted unceremoniously by the sweeping uncle: "Nonsense, so our Majesty personally marched and wiped out Jianlu directly. But you are accomplices, so we Daming people are not allowed to hate you? Tell You, now that our Ming Dynasty is strong, and the adults are discussing, we must demand justice from your Wa country!"

Hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi was not calm.This needs to be fair, what kind of fairness is it?Anyway, no matter what justice you want, it will have an impact on your mission to Daming.

He was still thinking about it, but the sweeper said again: "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you won't be considered an accomplice..."

Upon hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi couldn't help being overjoyed, and even showed a rare expression of gratitude on his face.It is estimated that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the upper kingdom of heaven are not as knowledgeable as this sweeping uncle!

When he was about to boast, he heard Mr. Sweeper go on to say: "You Japanese are one of the original culprits! How many people died in your hands in our Daming North Korean province, and now they strongly demand that the court do it for them. It is up to you to avenge your hatred and destroy the Japanese kingdom just like you destroyed the Jiankui!"

"..." Mei Chuan Shangyi was dumbfounded, she didn't expect this turning point.

The floor sweeper felt that he had said enough, touched the money in his bosom, thought for a while and said: "Actually, your Japanese country is also famous for its wolf-heartedness. It is thanks to our Ming Taizu that you were listed as a country that will not be conquered. It turned out to be a good thing, when they invaded North Korea, they wanted to attack Daming. Don’t deny that our Daming is not a three-year-old kid who can be fooled by you.”

It wasn't until the sweeper left for a long time that Mei Chuan Shangyi came back to his senses.

In fact, General Tokugawa considered that he would encounter difficulties when he came to Ming to ask for help.It was for this reason that the tribute was well prepared. He also heard that the Ming emperor was young and full of vigor, so he specially selected five beauties.Originally thought that after these things, and Jianlu was Daming's rebellion, I believed that Daming would send troops to help with a high probability.

However, what he never expected was that Daming now has such an attitude towards the Wa Kingdom. This is really beyond his expectations. What should we do next?Mei Chuan Shangyi was a little at a loss.

Think about it, everyone who sweeps the floor in Ming Dynasty knows this, let alone those scholars, those civil servants and generals.

Mei Chuan Shangyi realized that he might not be able to fool him just by using what he said to the doorman earlier.But fortunately, after all, the words of Emperor Taizu were left there, at least there was still room for change.

Alas, there is no way, let's take a step and take a look!

He didn't expect that after the sweeper left Honglu Temple, he went directly to Dongchang to report, handed in all the money he gave, and at the same time reported the process of the dialogue between the two parties.Not long after, Wang Chengen reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen again.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let this matter ferment for a while. In a few days, I will hold a court meeting to discuss this matter!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Chengen heard this, and flattered him.From the beginning to the end of this matter, people from Dongchang secretly guided and participated in it. He understood that the situation was under the emperor's control.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, then went to chat with Wen Tiren privately in the chat group, and explained the matter to him, and he didn't plan to go to battle in person in the court meeting later.

In fact, Wen Tiren had guessed the emperor's attitude before.The remarks about the Wa Kingdom appeared when the emperor was inspecting Yongping Mansion, accompanied by the denunciation of Jianlu, and became more and more intense.If you say that this has nothing to do with the emperor, even if you kill Wen Tiren, you won't believe it!

Now after listening to the emperor's explanation, it really is so.Wen Tiren was not a diehard, otherwise he would not have been able to become the chief assistant, the emperor's confidant and minister, so he immediately followed suit and prepared according to the emperor's wishes.

Three days later, the court meeting was held to formally discuss the matter of the Wa country submitting the letter of credence and asking Ming to help eliminate Jianlu.As the envoy, Mei Chuan Shangyi stood below, obediently waiting for Daming's reply.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, looked at the courtiers below and said: "My dear ministers, what do you think about this, and you can play it!"

At this time, the public opinion in the capital and even in the capital was one-sided. As long as the eyes were not blind or the ears were not deaf, everyone knew what the court meant.However, just as Emperor Chongzhen feared, there were always some old-fashioned diehards.

Therefore, after the emperor finished speaking, a courtier came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Wa Kingdom came to pay tribute, indicating that it still regards our Ming Dynasty as its suzerain state, and also established a rebellion against our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the minister thinks that we should send troops. Crusade it!"

Hearing this, he coughed, and someone immediately retorted: "When I sent troops to attack North Korea and fought against our Da Ming soldiers, did you recognize me as the suzerain country? Now that I am in trouble, I think that I am the Ming Dynasty. The suzerain state? I think that there is nothing so cheap in the world, and I, Ming, will never be taken advantage of!"

As soon as this side finished speaking, another person came out and played along: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, how many people died in the Korean War, and how much money was spent on the national treasury. The previous accounts have not been settled yet, and now I have to go. Help them, how can there be such a saying in the world?"

"Yes, there is also the fact that the Japanese country harmed my Ming Dynasty back then. It is all evidence. The Japanese country is a country of repeated villains, so we can't help it!"

"My minister seconded the proposal. The Wa Kingdom clearly covets my Ming Dynasty. The minister suggested that now our Ming Dynasty is strong enough. Anyway, Jianlu is also there, so we can settle accounts together, destroy the Wa Kingdom, and benefit the people of the world!"

"..."

Listening to the almost one-sided court discussion, and it seemed that the more discussions were made, the more it would be detrimental to the Wa Kingdom. Mei Chuan Shangyi couldn't stand up anymore, and the sweat on his forehead continued to flow down.It can't go on like this, this situation must be reversed.

Of course, the Tokugawa shogunate was capable of sending him over.He understands that the current strategy is to grasp one key point and then distinguish others, or there may be a way out.

Therefore, he couldn't care less, and immediately stepped forward, lay down on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the small country has something to say!"

Logically speaking, this is not in accordance with the etiquette system, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about it, he just nodded his head, which was regarded as approval.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates back then were also severely punished by the country. They harassed the heavens, and it was not what the country wanted. The crime is not the country's fault!"

As soon as Mei Chuan Shangyi said this, a censor stood up and shouted sharply: "Shut up, one, two Japanese pirates, your words are reasonable, but how many Japanese pirates came in those years? This is the result of your hard work Or is it the result of instigation, or the result of incompetence? Hehe, innocent?"

When Mei Chuan Shangyi heard it, he quickly wanted to distinguish and explain the situation of Wa Kingdom in detail at that time, but this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.Seeing so many civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty looking at him, and the emperor also looking at him, he felt a lot of pressure. After thinking about it for a while, he avoided this matter and decided to explain what he could explain clearly: "Your Majesty, back then The invasion of Korea was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. My general just couldn’t see him offending the Celestial Dynasty, so he revolted. The crime is also on Toyotomi Hideyoshi!"

"Full of sophistry!" Another civil official stepped forward to refute, "Isn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi from the Wa country? Who is the king of your Wa country? Did you come to Daming to make amends afterwards? Do you have the heart to repent? Is it possible to fool me, Daming, by taking anyone out to take the blame again?"

When Mei Chuan Shangyi heard this, he wanted to say that the system of the Wa Kingdom was different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and that their king was just a decoration. However, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in a few words.Even if you say that, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will say why no one from the Tokugawa family came to make amends, the same reason!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty come out and play loudly: "Your Majesty, the North Korean province has sent tens of thousands of people's letters, saying that the Japanese country harmed North Korea just like the Jian captives. I implore the court to send troops to make decisions for the Korean people. Let’s destroy Jianlu and Wa together!”

"..."

He looked up at the court, with eyes staring at him, almost none of them were sympathetic, more of them were angry.Hearing a new round of performances, there are signs of intensification.

Thinking of the anger of the people of Ming Dynasty that he felt all the way here, and looking at his eyes again, Mei Chuan Shangyi knew that this could not go on, so he immediately played loudly: "The envoy of the small country is here, it is my king who wants to come to Daming personally to make amends, my king I want the little envoy to understand first how to make amends to appease the anger of the upper kingdom, so that my king can make preparations. The small country is a country that was appointed by the emperor of the heavens not to be confiscated, and my king wishes to be a vassal state of the heavens from generation to generation, and never have any second thoughts!"

Faced with the fear of the country being destroyed, Mei Chuan Shangyi knew it well, even if the emperor came to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty, and the shogunate sent a hostage to accompany him, it was not impossible.Such a price tag has been set out, you must have face, Daming. Didn’t you always accuse us of not taking action before?
It was difficult for the civil servants in the palace to accept his words, and the emperor had to make a decision. Therefore, everyone turned to look at the emperor and listened to his decision.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Mei Chuan Shangyi, and said coldly: "It seems that you also know that you are guilty! Now that you have admitted it, I don't want to say more. How about this, the losses caused by your Wa country to my Ming Dynasty will not be blamed." Let’s count the Japanese pirates’ invasion of the southeast of Ming Dynasty. North Korea alone caused the casualties of our military and civilians, and the large amount of money and food that our Ming paid for it. These are all caused by your Japanese country. As long as you can compensate for these, I don't care about the past, how about it?"

When Mei Chuan Shangyi heard it, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had already taken a step back, and only compensated for the two Korean Wars, which should not be much.Since it can be solved with money, it is not a problem. Anyway, there is a silver mountain in Ishimi, so it would be better to increase the production at most.

Thinking of this, he prostrated himself on the ground, and quickly replied: "Thank you for your generosity, the envoy of the small country thinks this is a reasonable move, how much compensation should I have?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at the Minister of the Household Department.

Bi Ziyan immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's troublesome to calculate in detail, why don't you just compensate me for half of the current annual treasury income of Daming!"

When Mei Chuan Shangyi heard it, he immediately thought about it. It is said that Daming’s annual treasury income is more than 200 million taels. If half of it is at most 100 million taels, this price can expose the past history. By the way It seems quite cost-effective to ask Daming to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Thinking about it this way, he was afraid that these courtiers who were staring at him would object, so he immediately replied loudly: "Your Majesty, Xiaoguo thinks this is a reasonable move, there is no problem!"
