1237 Indemnity

However, Meichuan Shangyi did not expect that as soon as his convoy appeared on the streets of the capital, he actually ushered in more impacts from the people of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the things he could get were taken, they would be smashed into the car. This carriage was smashed countless holes. When the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities who were patrolling the street came to reinforce, there were already several bags on his head.

As a result, Meichuan Shangyi felt extremely depressed. When she touched the extra bags she had, she couldn't help but think regretfully that if she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have to smash her head with the money!

When he came to his senses, he decided that no matter what, he would have to seek justice when he turned around. The Ming people ran away after smashing and couldn't catch them, but the Ming soldiers escorted must not be able to escape!

After finally reaching the Honglu Temple, these Japanese people breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at each other's embarrassing faces, they all had a thought in their minds. When did the people of the Ming Dynasty become so cruel? To them, the Ming Dynasty was like a dragon's and tiger's den?

Meichuan Shangyi didn't deal with him, and even deliberately made himself feel a little embarrassed in the carriage. Then she got out of the carriage, snorted coldly at the escort general, and then handed him to the letter of the country.

He had already thought about it. When the Minister of the Honglu Temple came out later, he must accuse him on the spot. He had to take down these escorted soldiers with his own eyes, and it would be better to be executed in public and beat him to death in front of him. Only then would he be relieved of the depression in his heart.

However, what he did not expect was that the letter of the country was handed over, but the Minister of the Honglu Temple came out. Instead, the minor official who went in to report came back. He threw the letter of the country to Meichuan Shangyi with a cold face, and said coldly: "You Japan, as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, has invaded our Ming Dynasty many times. Is this still a vassal state? Get out!"

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, she was shocked and forgot about the complaint. She made a brain teaser. While picking up the letter of state, she quickly replied with a smile: "Nothing is the most etiquette. If the Celestial Kingdom cares about the Japanese pirate rebellion back then, it was not the wish of our vassal state, but the work of a few robbers in our country. Our vassal state is also trying hard to crack down on it and not let them harass the Celestial state!"

As he said this, he suddenly came to his senses. Could it be that it was because of the past things that the Ming Dynasty is very hostile to Japan now? But even so, it is the south of the Ming Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the north! Why are the people in the north so cruel to them?

After hearing this, the little official sneered and said, "I dare to argue, what is the intention of occupying North Korea twice during the Wanli period? Is it also the actions of a few Japanese robbers?"

"..." When Umekawa Suoyi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to her senses, and quickly replied, "That was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. My general couldn't stand such an act of disobeying the superior country, so he raised an army to overthrow Toyotomi Hideyoshi's monkey."

When the little official heard this, he curled his lips and said with disdain, "I dare to say that I understand etiquette. If I have anything to do, I will give you all the shame. Is this country that does not know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame is worthy of being our vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It would be good if I don't attack you in the Ming Dynasty, get out!"

Get out, that's impossible. Meichuan Shangyi is carrying a major mission. If he cannot complete the task, Japan will be in danger!

At this time, he didn't care about the person in front of him. He was just a minor official. He solemnly presented the letter of the country and took out an imperial edict and said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has an imperial edict. Our country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and is a country that does not seek expropriation. This is an ironclad fact. Do you want to resist the edict?"

After hardening for a while, he immediately softened and said with a smile on his face: "In the past, our general knew that he was ashamed of all the past. Therefore, this tribute was coming with sincerity. Please pass it on again!"

After moving out of Emperor Taizu, there was nothing I could do. The little official went in and reported again with a little depressed salary. After half of the salary, he came out with a small official in green robe and told them to go in.

Meichuan Shangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. He thanked him quickly. When he was about to go in, he felt the pain in his head again. So he remembered the arrival of the Ming soldiers escorted.

So he immediately complained to the green-robed official: "This envoy, this envoy came to the Heavenly Kingdom to pay tribute, but was besieged by unruly people all the way. These soldiers with escort duties did not do their best at all. Please look at the envoy's bag on the forehead, all of which were all being taken along the way. These soldiers are so dereliction of duty, please punish them heavily!"

Hearing this, the other Japanese people nodded repeatedly, looking at the Ming soldiers escorting them with hatred, and waiting to look good. After all, even the envoys were all in their foreheads and could see them at a glance, and the evidence was conclusive.

What they didn't expect was that when the green-robed official heard this, he replied coldly: "It's good that you Japanese can live to the capital. The people who still want to make things difficult for you to escort you now are indeed people with bad hearts and ungrateful people from the ungrateful country!"

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, she was stunned. Is this okay? Is there such a saying?

Not only him, but all the Japanese people were stupid. They never expected that the complaint would result in such an answer.

The green-robed little official ignored them and said to the escort general with a kind face: "Thank you all the way, go and go back after the procedures!"

"Thank you, sir!" the general quickly saluted, "If it weren't for the military orders, I would have wanted to beat these Japanese pirates!"

After saying that, he led his men to go back.

Seeing them leaving, they even saw a few soldiers spitting "pa" and Meichuan Shangyi and others were a little stunned. At this time, they felt a strong hostility. They thought they were just some troublemakers, but now it seems that the Ming Dynasty was hostile to them, including civil servants and military officials!

The messengers who came to pay tribute in the past were not treated like this! Meichuan Shangyi thought to himself and decided to ask clearly no matter what, otherwise life would be too difficult if this continues!

After several encounters, he finally used fifty taels of silver to clean the place where he lived.

I saw the old man dodging a little, took fifty taels of silver, hid in Meichuan Shangyi's room, and then he dared to speak, "If you have any questions, ask quickly. If someone else sees me, I will be stabbed in the backbone!"

Meichuan Shangyi was a little puzzled, but at this time he didn't care and asked quickly: "I want to understand why we Japanese are so unpopular in the Celestial Empire, as if everyone was shouting to beat him?"

After hearing this, the sweeping man replied with a look of this: "Our Ming Dynasty was tragic to the disaster. Before that, in Liaodong and the capital, I don't know how many people were killed and their families were destroyed! Everyone remembered it in their hearts."

Meichuan Shangyi was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she still couldn't figure it out, so she had to ask: "But... But what does Jianlu do have to do with us? "

"Why is it okay?" The sweeping man said with a contemptuous look: "It's not your good things!"

Meichuan Shangyi continued to be confused...

"If it weren't for your Japanese invasion of our North Korean province, our Ming army would not have to support it from thousands of miles away. In war, people will die and money will be spent. Two times, how many people died in the Ming Dynasty and how much money we spent? Jianlu took advantage of this opportunity to rise up and harm the Ming Dynasty after you Japan. Tell me, are you going to settle your accounts?"

It seemed to make sense, Meichuan Shangyi nodded, suddenly came to her senses, and shook her head quickly and said, "No, no, I mean, Jianlu is the main ruler in this matter. No matter how Ming Dynasty got it, he should go to Jianlu..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sweeping master without hesitation: "Nonsense, so our Majesty personally led the expedition and directly destroyed Jianlu. But you are accomplices, so we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are not allowed to hate you? Tell you, now that our Ming Dynasty is strong, the adults are discussing, and we should also ask for justice from your country of Japan!"

After hearing this, Meichuan Shangyi was not calm. What is justice? No matter what justice you want, it will have an impact on his mission to the Ming Dynasty.

He was still thinking about it, but the sweeping master was saying again: "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you are not considered accomplices..."

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even a look of gratitude appeared on his face. The civil and military officials in the Celestial Kingdom were probably not as knowledgeable as this sweeping master!

Just as he was about to praise him, he heard the sweeping master continue, "You Japanese are one of the original evildoers! In our Ming Dynasty province, many people died at your hands. Now they all strongly demand that the court make the decision for them, and to avenge them, and destroy the Japanese like the militant Jianlu!"

"..." Meichuan Shangyi was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect that there would be such a turning point.

The sweeper felt that he had said almost the same thing. He touched the silver in his arms, thought for a while and said, "Actually, your Japanese are also famous. It's thanks to our Ming Taizu that Ming Dynasty listed you as a country that is not expropriated. The result was that he occupied North Korea and then wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty. Don't refuse to admit that our Ming Dynasty is not a three-year-old child who can be deceived by you."

It was not until the sweeping master left for a long time that Meichuan Shangyi came to his senses.

In fact, General Tokugawa had considered the difficulties of coming to Ming for help. This was why the tribute was prepared very well. It also showed that the emperor of the country was young and full of energy, so he specially selected five beauties to come over. He originally thought that after these, and Jianlu was a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, he believed that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to help.

However, what I never expected was that the Ming Dynasty had such an attitude towards Japan now, which was beyond his expectations. What should I do next? Meichuan Shangyi was a little confused.

Think about it, everyone who swept the floor in the Ming Dynasty knew this, let alone those scholars, civil officials and generals.

Meichuan Shangyi realized that just by answering the words of the genius at the door before, I would probably be fooled. Fortunately, after all, Emperor Taizu's words were left there, at least there was room for improvement.

Alas, there is no way, let’s take a look first!

However, he did not expect that after the sweeping master left the Honglu Temple, he went directly to the Dongchang to report, handed over all the money he gave, and also reported to the dialogue between the two sides. Not long after, Wang Chengen reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen again.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let this matter ferment, and 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 beginning to end, the people from the East Factory secretly guided and participated. He understood that the situation was under the control of the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and then went to a private chat in the chat group to talk to Wen Tiren, explaining the matter to him, and turning back on the court to discuss it, he did not intend to go into battle himself.

In fact, Wen Tiren had guessed the emperor's attitude before. The remarks about Japan appeared when the emperor inspected Yongping Prefecture, accompanied by the condemnation of Jianlu, and became more and more intense. If you say that this had nothing to do with the emperor, you would not believe that Wen Tiren would be killed!

Now when he heard the emperor's explanation, it was true. Wen Tiren was not a stubborn person, otherwise he would not be the chief minister and became the emperor's confidant and loyal minister. Therefore, he immediately did as he did and prepared according to the emperor's wishes.

Three days later, the court meeting was held, and the official discussion was held to formally discuss the submission of the State of Japan and demanding the Ming Dynasty to help eliminate the Jianlu. As an envoy, Meichuan Shangyi stood below and waited for the Ming Dynasty's reply obediently.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the imperial throne and looked at the ministers below and said, "My dear friends, what do you think of this? You can report it!"

At this time, the public opinion in the capital and even the capital was one-sided. As long as the eyes were not blind or the ears were not deaf, they knew what the imperial court meant. However, as Emperor Chongzhen was worried, there were always some conservative stubborn people.

Therefore, after the emperor finished speaking, a minister came out to report: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Japan came to pay tribute, which means that he still thought that our Ming Dynasty was the culprit and that he had also rebelled against our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I think it is time to send troops to attack him!"

Hearing this, he coughed, and someone immediately retorted: "When I sent troops to attack North Korea and became enemies with my Daming Heavenly Army, did I recognize my Daming as the sect leader? Now that I am in trouble, I think my Daming is the sect leader? I think there is no such a cheap thing in the world, and I will never be the sucker!"

Just after this, another person left the list and followed the remark: "Your Majesty, I will discuss how many people in the Ming Dynasty died in the Korean War that year, and how much money the national treasury was spent. The previous accounts have not been settled. Now I have to help them again. How can I say this in the world?"

"Yes, there is also the fact that Japan has harmed our Ming Dynasty back then, which is proof that Japan is a country of repeated villains and cannot be helped!"

"I am following the proposal, Japan obviously covets our Ming Dynasty. I suggest that our Ming Dynasty is strong enough now, and Jianlu is there anyway, so we just settle the accounts together, destroying Japan and benefiting the people of the world!"

“…”

Listening to the almost one-sided discussion, and it seemed that the more we discussed, the more we were unfavorable to Japan, Umekawa Shangyi could no longer stand and the sweat on her forehead kept flowing down. This could not be done, and this situation must be reversed.

Of course, the Tokugawa shogunate was able to send him over, so he knew that the only way to do this was to grasp one point and then distinguish the others, or there was a way out.

Therefore, he didn't care about it, immediately stepped forward a few steps, lay on the ground, and shouted loudly in his voice: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the small country has something to say!"

Logically speaking, this is not in line with the etiquette, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't care and just nodded, which was considered to be recognized.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates back then were also strongly attacked by the country. It was not the wish of their harassment of the Celestial Kingdom. Their crimes were not with the country!"

As soon as Meichuan Shangyi said this, a censor stood up and shouted loudly: "Shut up, one, two Japanese pirates, you are reasonable, but how many Japanese pirates came back then? Is this the result of your strong attack or your strong instigation or your incompetence? Haha, isn't it guilty?"

When Umekawa Suoyi heard this, he quickly wanted to tell the details and explain the situation in Japan at that time, but this was not something that could be explained clearly in just a few words. Seeing so many civil servants and generals in the Ming Dynasty looking at him, and the emperor was also looking at him, he felt under great pressure. After thinking about it, he avoided this matter and decided to explain what could be explained clearly first: "Your Majesty, the invasion of North Korea was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. My general just couldn't bear to see him offend the Celestial Empire, so he raised an army to resist. The crime was Toyotomi Hideyoshi!"

"Full of quibbling!" Another civil servant retorted, "Is Toyotomi Hideyoshi a Japanese? Who is your king of Japan? Afterwards, I came to my Ming Dynasty to apologize? Do you have the intention to repent? In the future, can you violate my Ming Dynasty? Can you fool me with one person? "

When Umekawa Shangyi heard this, he wanted to say that the Japanese system was different from the Ming system. Their king was just a decoration, but this kind of thing could not be explained clearly in a few words. Even if he said that, the Ming Dynasty would probably say why no one from the Tokugawa family came to apologize? The same reason!

While he was thinking, he saw a Ming minister coming out and talking loudly: "Your Majesty, the North Korean province has sent tens of thousands of people, all saying that the Japanese country harmed North Korea, just like Jianlu, begging the court to send troops to make the decision for the Korean people, and jointly destroy Jianlu and Japanese!"

“…”

He looked at the court and looked at his eyes. Almost few of them were sympathetic, and more were angry. When he heard the new round of news, there were signs of becoming more and more intense.

Thinking of the anger of the people of the Ming Dynasty that I felt along the way, and looking at me, Meichuan Shangyi knew that this could not continue, so he immediately said loudly: "The envoy of the small country is here, that is, my king is going to come to the Ming Dynasty in person to apologize. My king wants the little envoy to understand first, how to apologize can calm the anger of the upper country, and my king is also ready. The small country is a country that Taizu of the Celestial Empire has decided not to be conquered. My king is willing to be a vassal state of the Celestial Empire for generations and will never be discarded!"

Faced with the worries of destroying the country, Umekawa Junyi knew it. It was not impossible to ask the emperor to come to Ming Dynasty to apologize, and the shogunate sent a prostitute to accompany him. Such a price has been issued. You must be shameless, shouldn't you always accuse us of not taking any action before? This is OK. What else do you have to say?

The civil servants in the hall were not easy to answer, and they had to make a decision by the emperor. Therefore, everyone turned to look at the emperor and listened to his decision.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Meichuan Shangyi and said coldly: "It seems that you know you are guilty! Since you have admitted it, I don't want to say more. In this way, the losses caused by your Japanese country to the Ming Dynasty are not considered to be the invasion of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty. The North Korean side alone caused the casualties of our Ming military and civilians, as well as the large amount of money and food paid by our Ming Dynasty for this, are all caused by your Japanese country. As long as you can compensate these, I will not investigate the past. How about it?"

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he said that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had already taken a step back and only compensated for the two Korean Wars. That should not be much. Since it can be solved with money, it is not a problem. Anyway, with Shin-san, it would be fine to increase the output at most.

Thinking of this, he crawled to the ground and quickly replied: "Thank you for your majesty, the envoy of the small country thinks that this is a reasonable move. I wonder how much compensation should be paid?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned to look at the Minister of Revenue.

Bi Ziyan immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's a problem to calculate it carefully. Why not compensate me for half of the current treasury income of the Ming Dynasty in one year!"

When Meichuan Shangyi heard this, he immediately thought about it. The annual treasury income of the Ming Dynasty was more than 2 million taels, and half of it was at most more than 1 million taels. This price could expose the past history and ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to quell the rebellion. It seemed quite cost-effective.

Thinking of this, he was afraid that these court officials who were eyeing each other would oppose it, so he immediately replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the small country thinks that this is a reasonable move, there is no problem!"
