539 Alliance

"I am the alliance between us. Since the despise country has assumed the important task of resisting the Ming army in advance, at least some of the food, grass and materials should be allocated to you first. This requirement should not be excessive, right?"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu was just about to nod, but fortunately, the old man Matsuhira Nobutsu took the lead and said: "This alliance is still to be discussed. Let's discuss it later!"

When Tokugawa Ie-Kiang heard this, he came to his senses. Yes, he hadn't even agreed to form an alliance yet!

After understanding this, I couldn't help but look at the treacherous Jurchen man with a little anger. Why did he feel as cunning as the Han people? He actually got a trap in his words!

"Your country is surrounded by sea, and with the wisdom of the general, he naturally knows that it is not a long-term way." Fan Wencheng was slightly disappointed when he heard this, and continued to persuade, "Although North Korea is mountainous, it must at least be better than islands. The despise country is already sincere and willing to give in to North Korea. The general can expand its territory and occupy North Korea forever without any effort. It is far more powerful than the previous General Toyotomi, and it is enough to keep its name in history and be admired by future generations of your country!"

Anyway, he is already very skillful when flattering, but now he is just a different partner. It’s true that after Tokugawa Ie-kun heard this, his anger towards him disappeared a lot.

Fan Wencheng, who had been observing, saw that Tokugawa Igami's expression changed again, and continued to say: "To be honest, my Qing Dynasty is much worse than the Ming Dynasty. This is also the reason why my Qing Dynasty even entered the capital of the Ming Dynasty four times and threatened the capital of the Ming Dynasty but ultimately could not capture the capital. If my Qing Dynasty's bravery, coupled with your country's firearms and of course, the power of the navy, then the destiny of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not last long!"

"Haha, why did I hear that you Jurchens suffered several defeats in the Ming army in a row?" Nobuzuo Matsuhira suddenly smiled and then asked.

When the Japanese infiltrated into North Korea in detail, they naturally caught the Koreans and could ask about some situations.

However, although the Japanese had a source of information, how could those arrested North Koreans know much information? Most of them were heard of it. But this did not prevent Song Ping Nobuka from making a fuss.

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ying'erdai, and turned around, and had to admit it: "That's right, although the Qing Dynasty did have negligent politeness, as I said just now, it was just a matter of firearms and naval forces. What I said just now was absolutely absolute. I dare to swear to heaven. If the Ming Dynasty is really strong, how could my Qing army besiege the capital of Ming Dynasty? If you don't believe it, the general can immediately ask the details of these four wars. I believe that with your country's ability, you should be able to distinguish between true and false."

He did not tell lies. At least before the twelve years of Chongzhen, he entered the pass four times and was invincible in the pass. This was also an ironclad fact. Therefore, he dared to speak like this.

When Ying'erdai heard this, he couldn't help but admire Fan Wencheng's quick wisdom, and once again secretly praised His Highness the Regent's wisdom and martial arts, and knew a good slave with a wise eye!

It's true that Tokugawa Ie-kun heard this and couldn't help but turn to look at his Omega Masato Inoue. If you want to ask about news, it's only Masato Inoue.

Masashige Inoue naturally knew that it was important. When he saw Tokugawa Ie-kwang looking over, he immediately understood it. He stood up in person and bowed to leave. It was obvious that he had gone to verify the matter.

Omefu's duty is to monitor the behavior of senior shogunate officials, especially the shogunate official positions of Daime. Although it is only a takamoto, it is equivalent to Daime's treatment. Observing words and expressions and checking whether to lie or not is one of his jobs. Therefore, as soon as Inoue Masato went out of the meeting room, he immediately summoned his subordinates to start asking about the Jurchens separately.

Not long after, he returned to the meeting hall and nodded at Tokugawa Ie-kwang.

When Tokugawa Ie-kwang saw that it was important, he found an excuse to take a break. As for what he was going to do, Fan Wencheng understood it, so he naturally would not have any comments.

Without outsiders around, Inoue Masashige reported to Tokugawa Iemitsu: "Master General, when every Jurchen speaks these things, the details are consistent, even if they suddenly interrupt, divert questions, etc., it is the same. Moreover, their words and deeds are definitely sincere, and they are very proud. It is true that the Jurchens invaded Ming Kingdom four times."

Tokugawa Iemitsu still believed what he said. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be very excited.

To be honest, although he also coveted the mainland and the territory of Ming, he was still a little worried about the combat power of Ming. However, at this time, he learned that the Ming Dynasty was actually so vulnerable. If it was careless to be surrounded by the capital by the Jurchen soldiers once, then what should I say about the second, third, and fourth time? Every time the Jurchens stole so many people and materials, did the Ming Congress deliberately want it?

At this time, Tokugawa Iegumi had made up his mind and said to several of his confidant officials: "This is an opportunity given by God Amaterasu, and you must not miss it!"

"Master General, the Jurchens cannot believe them all. They must have encountered difficulties." Matsuhira Nobuzu reminded him in time, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to come to the door on his own initiative. Next, the general does not have to come forward, but let his subordinates test it out, ask about the real situation, and then form an alliance with him!"

He was an old shogunate, who usually handled government affairs on behalf of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and had the ability to lead the war, suppressing the sensational Shimahara Rebellion. In the original history, he suppressed the Kiyoan Rebellion that attempted to subvert the shogunate. It can be said that this was a cunning guy.

Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally trusted his abilities very much. So, the alliance with the Jurchens was left to him to carry out.

It’s true that Matsuhira Nobutsu did not disappoint Tokugawa Iemitsu. Although they had already made a decision to take down North Korea and had already made preparations for it. At this time, he showed no hurry, and in the end, Ying Oerdai and Fan Wencheng couldn’t sit still. After all, the bird-like bird in Liaodong was in urgent need of food and supplies.

So, after revealing some facts, the two sides finally decided on the alliance. The main contents are as follows:

First, the two countries formed an alliance, including the Japanese kingdom and the Qing Dynasty. When Dorgon saw Tokugawa Ieki, he had to hold the ceremony first; when Furuin saw the emperor, he had to hold the ceremony first. In addition, the daughter of the regent of the Qing Dynasty had to marry Tokugawa Ieki's son and make the Qin and Jin dynasties.

Second, the Qing Dynasty wanted to block the Ming army in Liaodong and did not allow the Ming army to attack North Korea by land. On the other hand, the Japanese side supported the Manchu food and supplies and delivered them from the Sea of ​​the Hokkien.

Third, on the coastal side, the Ming navy was handed over to the Japanese. If the Ming army came from the sea, it had nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty. However, once the Ming Dynasty really landed in large numbers from the sea to attack North Korea, the Qing Dynasty must send troops to North Korea to assist the Japanese army in extermination of the Ming army.

Fourth, when Japan gains a foothold in North Korea, it will not exceed two years at the latest. Japan will have to send troops to Liaodong and deal with the Ming army with the Qing Dynasty.

Fifth, in the future, the two countries join forces. If the Ming Dynasty is captured, they will use the Yellow River as the boundary, north of the Yellow River and belong to the Manchu Qing Dynasty; south of the Yellow River, they will all belong to the Japan Kingdom.

Sixth, the two countries have always formed brotherly countries and cannot attack each other for any reason.

This agreement is satisfactory to both parties.

For Japan, if you first take over the territory of North Korea and have a foothold, it is equivalent to taking advantage. On land, if the Jurchens block the Ming army, the Japanese army would never be attacked by the Ming army when North Korea was not stable. As for the Ming army coming from the sea, the Japanese side already knew what the situation was like for the Denrae Naval Division, so they were not worried at all. Besides, just in case, the Japanese side also had other plans.

After two years of operation in North Korea, the Tokugawa Shogunate believed that the army's food and grass could be solved on the spot by then, and it would also make up for the inconvenience that the food and grass had to be transported from Japan in the past, and could lay a solid foundation for the victory of the war.

If Ming Kingdom is conquered in the future, the most fertile places in the Ming Kingdom will belong to Japan, which is also a huge benefit.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu and others were very satisfied and began to prepare for the provision of food and supplies for Jianlu.

For British and Fan Wencheng, the purpose of their mission to Japan has been achieved. Not only did they solve the problem of severe shortage of food in the Qing Dynasty, but they also dragged Japan into the water. No matter how short the Japanese were, the Japanese firearms and naval troops were indeed urgently needed by the Qing Dynasty. If the two countries join forces, they may not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty!

As for the regent's only daughter, she was still young at this time, only seven years old. In name, she decided first. If the Qing Dynasty recovered and her strength recovered, it would be a matter of one sentence to regret the marriage. If the strength is not enough, I believe that the regent's intention to be devoted to the country will be fine.

Anyone who calls me brothers? Should I hold etiquette first? To be honest, the Qing Dynasty really doesn’t care much. I’m almost starving to death and still care about these etiquettes. Are you crazy?

Yingyi Erdai has the authority to entrust Dorgon to the full authority, so he didn't have to go back and ask for instructions and then paid for the matter back and forth, so he decided directly.

Then, Ying'erdai immediately returned to Liaodong, reported the matter to Dorgon, and made corresponding preparations. Fan Wencheng stayed in Edo as deputy envoy, becoming a representative to communicate with the Japanese at any time.

While Tokugawa Iemitsu was fully prepared for the war, there was something that could not be ignored. He had to solve it first so that he could feel at ease. He even held a secret meeting to make some decisions.

Now, Zheng Zhibao is worried about his mansion, how to send out the alliance between Jianlu and the Japanese? Or is it that if the emperor has heard that there will be someone else responsible for sending the news, he doesn't have to worry about it?
