Domineering Daming

Qingshan Guisong listened to Zhu Xu's words, his eyes narrowed slightly.

For one thing, Emperor Ming's words were even more nonsense than him, without any reality at all.Second, isn't it even more nonsense that the Emperor Ming asked his hall to come to the capital to have an audience?

Tokugawa Hideaki somewhat understood, glanced at Qingshan Guisong, turned to Zhu Xu, and said with a sullen eyebrow: "Your Majesty, we are here for peace, as long as you withdraw the soldiers on Jiuguo Island and return the Satsuma Domain to the inner government, Withdrawing the garrison in Ryukyu, the government is willing to assure Daming that it will never invade North Korea again!"

Zhu Xu was a little surprised, and touched his chin unconsciously.

Did this group of Wa people want Daming to make huge concessions without paying any price?Or don't weep when you don't see the coffin?

Cao Huachun and the others behind him also showed strange expressions. After so many years, it was the first time someone spoke so nonchalantly in front of their emperor that the lion opened his mouth.

Zhu Xu picked up Xiao Ciye, sat on the chair, looked at Tokugawa Hideaki and said, "Do you think that this will achieve permanent peace and never cause the disaster of war?"

Tokugawa Hideaki was very enthusiastic about this, and immediately said: "Yes! Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to give up the war, our country will not resort to force. We can coexist peacefully and never go to war!"

"My thoughts are different from yours, do you want to hear it?" Zhu Xu poured a cup of tea for Xiao Ciye and said.

Tokugawa Hideaki walked to Zhu Xu's side, bowed, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please give me your advice!"

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, looked thoughtful, and said slowly: "In my opinion, the root cause of war is nothing more than two kinds, one is resource demand, and the other is psychological demand. Resources, including land, food, minerals, Gold and silver, etc., do not suffer from poverty but from inequality, you fight over each other, and this arises. The psychological needs are more complicated, such as a sense of security, ambition, impulsiveness, ignorance, etc., and so on. , These two things can't be solved by you and me in a few words, don't you think?"

Tokugawa Hideaki frowned, thinking, and then cold sweat appeared on his head.He is very smart, he can understand Zhu Xu's words, and then he understands that "peace" really cannot be decided by just a few words, it is too complicated!

Tokugawa Hideaki couldn't figure it out, so he tried his best to think, the cold sweat on his head was getting more and more, his facial features were gradually distorted, and he was in extreme pain.

Qingshan Guisong saw all this in his eyes, his face became more and more gloomy, he didn't speak, and just watched with cold eyes.

For a while, Tokugawa Hideaki seemed to give up, panted heavily, bowed again, and said, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xu smiled, put his hands on the handle of the chair, and said more and more dignifiedly: "Regarding resources, this is born of heaven and earth, and manpower cannot change it. Since resources cannot be changed, then people should be changed. If there is a 'world harmony', resources will be shared." , then naturally there will be no troubles, and there will be no more wars. If the world is unified, the system can be used to restrain people's hearts, all struggles will be elitist, high-level, compromises will be achieved at the lowest cost, and the development of the country will be ensured. In this way, the world No more wars, good luck to all peoples!"

Qingshan Guisong looked up at Zhu Xu with serious eyes.

He is not Tokugawa Hideaki, he heard the majestic ambition from Zhu Xu's words, this ambition even - their Japanese country is just a corner of the chessboard, a very small corner!

Tokugawa Hideaki thought about Zhu Xu's words seriously. He thought it made sense, but after thinking carefully, cold sweat gradually broke out on his back, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

If you want permanent peace, you must first realize the "Union of the World", so what is the way to achieve "Great Harmony under Heaven" - war!

Brutal war than ever!

Tokugawa Hideaki looked at Zhu Xu and didn't know what to say for a while.

His Majesty the Emperor in front of him obviously has more, deeper, and more wisdom than he thinks, but he is determined to resort to force, how can he persuade him?

Qingshan Guisong didn't think as much as Tokugawa Mingxiu, he only knew that the Ming emperor in front of him was determined to send troops to their Wa country!

The Shimabara Rebellion has involved most of the energy of the shogunate. If the Ming people interfered massively, how would they respond?

Aoyama Kamematsu brought Tokugawa Iemitsu's secret order, he glanced at Tokugawa Akihide, took a step forward, passed him, and said directly to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to give up sending troops to our country, we are willing to offer what Da Ming is satisfied with." Gift!"

"Tell me." Zhu Xu said calmly.

Qingshan Guimatsu lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, as long as your country withdraws its troops from Jiuguo Island, reduces the garrison in Ryukyu, and allows our country to join the maritime trade, we promise not to attack North Korea again, and we are willing to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xu patted the handle of the chair lightly with his right hand, and his eyes wandered around the face of Tokugawa Hideaki on the green hill and turtle pine.

These Japanese people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin. At this time, they dare to ask for so much, and they hardly pay in real terms!

Zhu Xu looked at the two people, his eyes turned slightly, his tone was calm, and he said gently: "What do you think of 'Zunwang Xiangyi'?"

Although Tokugawa Hideaki has some research on Chinese culture and knows the origin of "Respecting the King and Xiangyi", but... why did you ask him this?

Qingshan Guisong was also dazed, but then his expression changed.

China's "respecting the king and assisting the Yi" came from the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the power of the emperor of Zhou was declining. In order to exclude others and fight for hegemony, all the vassal states clamored "respecting the king and assisting the Yi" to attack opponents in the name of supporting the "orthodoxy" of the emperor of Zhou. .

If it is placed in the Wa Kingdom, it will respect the "orthodox" status of the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom and destroy other vassal states!

The first one to be eliminated will be the strongest one - Edo Tokugawa!

Tokugawa Hideaki reacted quickly, his face turned pale.

"Respecting the King Xiangyi" is righteous and irrefutable. If the Ming Dynasty invaded the Wa Kingdom under this banner, they would really be out of breath!

What frightened him was that he could feel that the Ming Dynasty was quite firm in its will to use troops against Japan, and he couldn't persuade it!

Chapter 1122 Ordinary People

Tokugawa Akihide and Aoyama Kamematsu were very nervous, they did not want the Ming Dynasty to intervene in the civil strife in Wa Kingdom.

The Shimabara Rebellion has become like a blazing fire, and civil unrest in various places is one after another. If Shimabara can't be suppressed, the entire Japanese country will be in chaos.

Ming people must not interfere with the Shimabara Rebellion, at least not now!

The two couldn't help looking at each other, and they were both frowning. Daming is now prospering in military power and warlike style is prevalent, even the common people are cheering, waiting for Daming to annex the Wa kingdom.

What should we do now?The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had clearly told them that he wanted to "respect the king and assist the Yi" to annex the Japanese kingdom!

This time I came to Daming, on the surface it was Tokugawa Akihide who was the main ambassador, but in fact it was Aoyama Kamematsu.

With a gloomy expression on his face, he bowed at a right angle to Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my previous offense! I come to Daming with a sincere heart to express my peace, and I hope that Your Majesty will be benevolent Heart, so that the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom will have eternal peace, and the people will have no more wars!"

Zhu Xu has already seen that whether it is Tokugawa Hideaki or Aoyama Kamematsu, they are all just a gimmick. Tokugawa Iemitsu does not intend to "succumb to the vassal", but just wants these two people to test or delay time.

Zhu Xu looked at Qingshan Guisong, nodded and said: "I have received your sincerity, and I will go back and tell General Tokugawa that I hope that the two countries will be good-neighborly and friendly, and there will be no war."

Qingshan Guisong looked at Zhu Xu, his face sinking like water.

This Ming emperor was more difficult than he expected, he said a lot of big words, empty words, and lies, but in fact he was not serious at all, which left him with a huge shock in his heart.

Seeing that Zhu Xu refused to let go, Tokugawa Mingxiu was extremely worried, his brows and eyes frowned, and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully. The people of the two countries do not need war. We already hate war. Any benefit!"

Zhu Xu nodded in agreement, and said: "I deeply agree, please tell General Tokugawa on my behalf, I look forward to his peaceful reply."

Cao Huachun appeared at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go."

Zhu Xu nodded, hugged Xiao Ciye and stood up.

Tokugawa Hideaki wanted to say more, but couldn't find the words.Qingshan Guisong didn't speak at all, but just looked at Zhu Xu sullenly, and walked out, keeping his hands on his waist.

But not far away, there were seven or eight guards staring at him. He instinctively sensed the danger and did not move.

Zhu Xu came out of this station, shook his head secretly, and said: "Although the Wa country is narrow and sparsely populated, it has a lot of ambitions. You can also see that it has never bowed its head at all. In the future, it must be a big trouble for my confidant!"

Cao Huachun remained silent, he could see clearly, but it was not suitable for him to speak.

Chen Beijing followed, and replied: "Yes. The Military Intelligence Department has summarized a lot of information and presented it to the general's meeting. They think that the Wa Kingdom is ambitious, not only Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to step into the Central Plains, the people of the Wa Kingdom have this kind of thinking in their bones, even now Their strength is not enough, and they will come back sooner or later, they should be cut off as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!"
