Chapter 807 Daming's First Unequal Treaty

This behavior made all the Japanese monarchs and ministers present very uncomfortable. In their concept, the crotch facing others is a very impolite behavior.

The old shogunate, Tadao Abe, said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, you have a Chinese saying that goes to the countryside and follow the customs. You are the prince of a great country. Do you have no such conscience?"

These words changed the atmosphere in the hall.

The shogunate elder Tadao Sakai was shocked. Unexpectedly, Tadao Abe, who was usually honest, had a passion and courage.

At the same time, he secretly scolded Abe Tadaki as a fool. Why did he offend the Ming Dynasty envoy at this time? Didn’t he cause trouble?

Tokugawa Izunomiya, who was only ten years old, had his eyes on Abe Tadaki, and he was very respectful to him. Only such an upright person is worthy of being his teacher and the backbone of Japan!

Emperor Shaoren had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he strangely agreed with this sentence, which demonstrated the spirit of the country.

He gave the shogunate official a very high evaluation in his heart: "Among the shogunate ministers, the style of politicians is unique to Tadakami!"

Zhu Cijiong chuckled and said slowly: "On this earth, I kneel alone on the sky, kneel on the ground, kneel on my father and mother, kneel on my elder brother Emperor Tianwu. The rest of them never kneel and are not worthy of kneeling alone!"

"Your Highness Ding, this is my Japanese custom, not to let you kneel on anyone," Tadaoka Sakai explained.

Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said, "I don't have the habit of kneeling. You regard kneeling as a ritual, but I don't agree with it. I don't plan to do it. It has nothing to do with the local customs. I just sit like this. If you don't accept it, you will endure it!"

Zhu Cijiong's words showed his incomparable strength. I just sat there like this, what can you do!

In this world, except for his eldest brother Emperor Tianwu who can command him, who else dares to ask him to do things according to the rules?

It is naturally not liked by others in such a pretentious territory. An official of the shogunate jumped out and shouted: "The emperor is too much!"

Zhu Cijiong smiled, blew the dust that did not exist on the dragon robe, and said, "You know, you proposed peace talks first. Now I feel that you lack the sincerity of peace talks!"

Tadaoka Sakai hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We are absolutely sincere, absolutely sincere! Our shogunate is to achieve a ceasefire and restore peace!"

He was also helpless, this guy was too strong!

The main reason is that I can’t do anything about him. If I force this guy to leave angrily, it would be a loss.

I heard that his brother Emperor Tianwu is even stronger. God knows what bad things this guy will say when he runs back to the Ming Dynasty and what disaster will it bring to Japan.

Tadaosa Sakai took a deep breath, avoiding talking about sitting posture, and began to get to the point and negotiate on behalf of Japan.

"Your Highness Ding, let's get straight to the point. Japan is a peace-loving country. In order to prevent the soldiers of the two countries from continuing to bleed, Japan hopes that your country will stop the war."

After listening to the scene, Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "So, what about your conditions?"

Tadaosaki Sakai glanced at the old masters of the shogunate, looked at the Emperor again, pondering without saying a word.

Tadao Abe secretly scolded Sakai Tadaokaku in his heart. At the critical moment, this old guy kept silent. He was trying to shirk his historical responsibility for signing a treaty that was powerless and humiliating!

In fact, the shogunate had already discussed the conditions, and the core of this negotiation was only one: to withdraw the Ming army and return the Mikawa area where the Tokugawa family emerged in Edo and other places!

After some debate and bargaining, the two sides finally reached a peace agreement.

The full text of the Chinese version is: His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire and His Majesty the Emperor of Japan have concluded a peace treaty, and they want to explain the recent disagreement to stop the quarrel. For this reason, they have agreed to establish a permanent peace treaty so that the two countries and their subjects can rebuild peace and share happiness!

Therefore, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sent a special imperial envoy to Prince Zhu Cijiong, the Japanese Emperor appointed the general of the conquering the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the shogunate, the old master Sakai Tadashi, the old Abe Tadaki, and the emperor and the generals who were given full power, all of which were good, even if the articles were proposed:

The first one, this battle was caused by the Japanese Satsuma family's invasion of Ryukyu. Now Japan compensates the Ming Dynasty for three million taels of military expenditure and gives the Ishimi Silver Mine forever to the Ming Dynasty for management and development.

The compensation shall be paid in batches, with a period of five years. The unpaid payment shall be added to each hundred and five interest per 100 per year.

The second paragraph is to redefine national borders, and Japan ceded all the islands and affiliated islands of Kyushu, four countries and two places to the Ming Dynasty.

The third paragraph, from now on, the Emperor of Japan allowed the Chinese people to take their families and live in four ports along the coast of Japan, including Kajiki, Kobe, Osaka, Shizuoka, etc., with no obstacles in trade and trade;

The Ming Dynasty could send consulates, managers and other officials to live in the four cities to deal with business matters and to deal with official documents with local officials.

The fourth paragraph: Japan cuts off all exchanges with the Qing Dynasty, including trade.

In paragraph 5, the Ming army withdrew from Edo Castle, including all Ming troops stationed in Japan, should be withdrawn within three months after the approval of the exchange of this agreement and will not be occupied again.

Article 6: In order to ensure the implementation of all the documents set by the Japanese state, the Ming army temporarily occupied Edo Bay and Yokosuka coast.

Article 7: The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of Japan will remain peaceful forever. The Chinese and Japanese people belonging to each other are friendly and harmonious. Those who live in other countries will be blessed by the country to protect their wealth and safety and will not be violated.

All the above articles were negotiated and peace offers. The ministers and other ministers reported to the Ming Dynasty Emperor and the Japanese Emperor each used red and approved it personally. After they were approved, they immediately went to the crossroads so that the two countries could hold a book to show their faith;

On August 23, the seventh year of the Great Ming Dynasty, the third year of Qing'an, Japan.

The name of this peace treaty is designated as the Osaka Treaty. This is the first formal peace treaty signed with the outside world in Chinese history. It sets a precedent for the future unequal treaties signed by the Ming Dynasty and the European countries and formulates a blueprint.

However, this great contract was unknown in history, because just a few years later, Japan was completely included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and became the Japanese province.

In order to maintain the national feelings of blood thicker than water, textbooks try to avoid mentioning this incident...

After signing the treaty, Zhu Cijiong rested for two days and was about to set off to return to his country to reply.

However, Japanese Emperor Shaoren took the initiative to visit.

After a few polite words, Shaoren went straight to the point: "Dare you ask Your Highness Ding, can you teach me some of the experiences of the Tianwu New Policy of the Heavenly Kingdom?"

Shaoren has always been thinking about learning the new policies of the Ming Dynasty, reforming Japan, and strengthening his own strength.

Now that I have seen the powerful strength shown by the Ming Dynasty with my own eyes, I am even more determined to reform.

Zhu Cijiong was surprised. What was the experience of Tianwu’s new policy? It was not implemented by me, so where did the experience come from?

He said bluntly: "Sorry, I am just a vassal king. I have no fiefdom, nor have I had any experience in managing and governing the country. The new policy of Tianwu was implemented by His Majesty, the eldest brother, and the result has been achieved after many years. I really cannot pass on any experience of you."

Shao Ren looked disappointed, but he still did not give up. His eyes were full of resolute light and continued, "Would you please ask His Highness Ding to report to the Emperor Tianwu on his behalf? I want to go to the Ming Dynasty in person to meet the Emperor and learn how to strengthen the country."

Shao Ren took a deep breath and his eyes stopped on Zhu Cijiong, looking forward to Zhu Cijiong's following.

Zhu Cijiong pondered for a moment and finally said, "Your Excellency has a heart for strength. The Gu King admires it very much. But Gu hopes that you can do things down-to-earth and solve your own troubles with peace of mind. Don't daydream with ambition!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Ren frowned. He couldn't touch the meaning of Zhu Cijiong's words, because this guy praised him first, but instantly became a warning, which made him a little confused.

Zhu Cijiong shook his head helplessly and thought to himself that this guy's IQ was just like this and there was no help!

He had no premonition that Japan would face after the Ming army withdrew, and what would happen to him as the emperor...

Even if you can’t guarantee your own safety, how can you talk about great innovation and enriching the country and strengthening the army?
