Chapter 694: The Japanese Raiders Against Ma Fengyun (9)

Hearing Sakai Tadae's anxious words, Song Meixin was secretly happy. Marshal Zhang was indeed a master in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. The Japanese envoy was anxious to show that the Slave-Destroying Army would take the initiative today.

"Well, oh!" Song Meixin finished speaking these two words of exclamation and disappeared. He seemed to have spoken too much just now and picked up the tea bowl and started to taste tea.

Sakai Tadae saw that Song Mi-shin did not respond and took the lead in telling the price of the Japanese shogunate’s redemption of Tsushima: “The last time the army said, there might be a misunderstanding between the Ming Dynasty’s slave army and our Japanese country, and the Japanese country was allowed to compensate the army by redemption. Since it was a misunderstanding, our Japanese country certainly understood the difficulties of the army. For this reason, our Japanese general Tokugawa Ieki, considering the long-term friendship with the army, gave the army a special reward of 500,000 taels of silver.”

After hearing this, Song Meixin's face changed drastically. It was rumored that the Koreans were shameless, while the Ming Dynasty court was suffering from face. But today's words of Japanese envoy Tadashi Sakai made Song Meixin understand that Japan was shameless and even more fearless. Fortunately, Marshal Zhang was not here. If Marshal Zhang heard Tadashi Sakai's words, let alone Tadashi Sakai could not leave alive, even their shogunate general would be skinned by Marshal Zhang. No wonder Marshal Zhang once said that the Japanese feared power but not virtue, and they would not see the current situation without typing them out of their brains.

When Song Meixin thought of this, he looked up at Tadashi Sakai with a strange look and asked, "Give me the Ponu Army? This reward is born by your Japanese emperor, or the Shogun General? Don't misunderstand the kindness of my Ponu Army. Your words have caused the captured Japanese soldiers to die in a bad life. The reason why I Ponu Marquis can be powerful to the thousands of miles of grassland is because of his unruly iron-blooded means to the enemy. In the fight against the Jurchen Tartars, I Ponu Marquis killed hundreds of thousands of enemies, and defeated the Mongolian Lin Danhan and did not kill him hundreds of thousands of men. How can I make the Mongolian Lin Danhan avoid thousands of miles away? Recently, I encircled and annihilated the Weiwuer people, and more than 300,000 people died and blood was floating to calm the anger in Ponu Marquis' heart. I Ponu Marquis said that anyone must be responsible for what he said. We can continue talking, but you don't need to say more about your captives. They have been buried for your sacrificing the big talk just now."

Song Meixin's cold words made Tadashi Sakai's face change drastically. Japan also heard rumors about Ponuhou of the Ming Dynasty, saying that Zhang Ping'an, a man who was not very cruel and cruel, had extremely cruel methods to the enemy, and killed people with his own hands to serve as his favorite entertainment. Until then, Tadashi Sakai had to cheer up and face the negotiations with this young man, and just one word of face-loving words that more than 10,000 Japanese lost their lives. Since the big mistake has been made, Tadashi Sakai would have to reverse the decline in other aspects.

Tadae Sakai stood up from behind the table and bowed to Song Meixin and apologized: "Encourt, I sincerely apologize to the Ministry of the Ponushu for his inappropriate words and deeds! I also conveyed my sincere apology to the Marquis of Ponushu. To show my sincerity, I will represent the shogunate of Japan to compensate your army with 550,000 taels of silver. Please forgive my offensive actions."

Looking at Tadashi Sakai who was quite polite, Song Meixin first sat in a chair and waved his hand to him, signaling Tadashi Sakai to sit down. Then he took out a stack of golden tickets for the Ponucheng that were popular in the Ming Dynasty from his arms, and then smiled and said, "Have you ever seen this golden ticket?"

Tadao Sakai had certainly seen this kind of easy-to-use and real-life Pound Point. He nodded without saying anything, waiting for Song Meixin to continue.

"The gold splashing in Japan is expensive, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for five taels of silver. The gold tickets here are 80,000 taels of gold. Let me tell you how much silver it is worth? What can 550,000 taels of silver be done? The sincerity of the nobles is not enough, so how can we continue to talk about it?"

Song Meixin's continuous replies made Tadashi Sakai stunned. He had also heard that the Ming Dynasty's Ponuhou was rich enough to rival the country, but he never expected that his subordinates could take out nearly hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from his arms at any time. However, Tadashi Sakai was not stupid. Since Song Meixin had the intention to continue the negotiation, the meeting was not over. So the two sides took two days to bargain and finally reached a preliminary agreement. The Ponu army agreed that Japan would use 1.3 million taels of silver and 500,000 stones of rice to redeem all the islands of Tsuma. He also agreed that the Ponu army would use the Oki Islands as a temporary resting place for the withdrawal of troops when the Ponu army evacuated, and the Ponu army would borrow the Oki Islands for two years.

Of course, we should celebrate this result that both sides were satisfied with. Song Meixin was very happy at this time. Now Zhang's plan is becoming more and more clever. Although Japan does not compensate for much money, Zhang's hidden strategy is the biggest highlight of Song Meixin's success in this negotiation. Of course, Song Meixin was also happy about his urgent intelligence. More than 10,000 Japanese prisoners were caught by him. He became a lone ghost who would never return to Japan. The Slave Army still kept its word. After the negotiation was completed, he returned the Tsushima Island to Japan before he received the money.

The old Japanese junior felt deeply about the move of the Slave Army. While returning to Japan on a boat to return to the shogunate general Tokugawa Iemitsu, he organized personnel to accept Tsuma Island. In fact, the Japanese shogunate did not suffer any losses in this transaction. He sold the Tsuma Island Daine to Himema and Tsuma Taiwan respectively to Himema Island and Chikaku'an respectively, so that they could occupy Tsuma Island. In this way, the shogunate not only did not pay one tael of silver, but instead gained a lot of benefits.
