Both the shogun and ordinary samurai knew that if the emperor was used to take the banner of the emperor and had a strong military force in hand, the anti-shogun army could wipe the Tokugawa shogunate completely in a short time without leaving any trace. Therefore, Tokugawa Izunata soon sent a plenipotentiary representative to Nagoya for negotiations. There was indeed Matsuhira Nobusuo who Ahae hoped for, but he was ranked second, and the first was the general's younger brother, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Highness Matsuhira." After Kogoro introduced his group to the Tenshou Pavilion in Nagoya, Ah Hai said with a smile.

"It's only been less than a year." Nobuzumatsu said, and it was only one year, and it was turned upside down.

The Tensou Pavilion is still a Japanese-style Tensou Pavilion, but the display inside is completely different. The United States-style high tables and chairs replaced the original furniture, and the most eye-catching position is the map of Japan. It is a map made of teak, occupying the entire wall. The wood boards are cut into irregular figures, painted in different colors, and spliced ​​together. It can be seen that there is a huge black on it, covering the entire Kanto Plain. The family patterns on it also show that this belongs to the Tokugawa family. Many familiar family patterns appear on the map, but the territory locations are different. For example, the Western Daming and Kyushu Daming have a territory in Kinki, Mino and other places. Obviously, this is the territory distribution of Ah Hai after the war.

Ah Hai sat down and saw Tokugawa Tsunayoshi sitting opposite him, and asked, "Who is this child?"

"This is His Highness Tokugawa Tsuyoshi, the younger brother of the general." Kogoro Goto introduced, and then whispered a few words in front of Ah Hai.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was only fourteen years old, is Tokugawa Ietsugu's younger brother. The reason why he sent such a child is that Tokugawa Ietsugu has no descendants. If Tokugawa Ietsugu is gone, Tsunayoshi will become the next generation general. Obviously, Ah Hai did not mean to execute Tokugawa Ietsugu, but Tokugawa Ietsugu was responsible for his failure. After the war, he still retired. Ah Hai did not know, but the end of the war means Tsunayoshi's coming to power.

Goto Kogoro's whisper in Ahai's ear illustrates Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's personal situation. Tsunayoshi is very smart and enthusiastic about politics and should not be underestimated. The only problem is that his height is his height. Tsunayoshi, who is only 124 cm, is not because he is young, but because he is tall. Ahai nodded slightly, Tsunayoshi should have dwarfism.

Ah Hai waved his hand: "Put your Highness Songpin, too, so we can have a good talk."

The negotiations were very smooth at the beginning. The first thing to do was to confess, that is, to make the Tokugawa shogunate responsible for the Nagasaki incident. The apology written by Tokugawa Ietsunobu was essential, but the shogunate refused to let the emperor apologize, while Ah Hai used another way to resolve the matter, namely Tokugawa Ietsunobu or Tsunayoshi. In short, a general had to go to Nagasaki to kneel down to the monument to the Chinese and Chinese people who died in the Nagasaki Incident. Tsunayoshi agreed to go to apologize, but changed the monument to the Chinese victims to the monument to the Nagasaki Incident and added the ordinary Japanese people who died in Nagasaki, and Ah Hai chose to agree.

The second is compensation. In Taipei, Ah Hai asked Japan to pay 32 million taels of silver. The price was really sincere. This sincerity was not because the Nagasaki Incident really caused such a huge loss to the United States, but because if the Tokugawa shogunate really compensated 32 million at that time, there would not be this war of anti-shogawa.

Times changed, and after a war, the amount of compensation increased to 45 million. This was when the United States counted military expenditures and pensions, and the shogunate said it could not afford such a large amount of compensation.

Unlike in the negotiations in Taipei, the Anti-Shogawa War had caused two of Japan's three core plains to be harmed. The Tokugawa Shogunate was very weak. More importantly, Japan's wealth does not mean that the Tokugawa Shogunate also has money. To put it bluntly, it is also a feudal system. China is a feudal dynasty ruled by the central government, and Japan is a feudal system. The resources under the Tokugawa family only account for one quarter of the country, and a large amount of wealth is in the hands of those daimyos. For example, until the end of the 17th century, the shogunate's fiscal revenue exceeded one million taels of silver.

Ah Hai reduced the compensation to 40 million, and did not require Japan to pay it back in ten years. It only required 10 million taels in the first year. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi agreed. After all, Kanto was still there, so he could get all his capital. The United States' harvest was not limited to this. You should know that the United States currently controls more than half of Japan's land, and various cities have captured countless people, and many people have also given money to surrender. The seizure alone has exceeded 20 million. In this way, the United States has made 30 million in this battle, and will have more than 3 million in fiscal revenue every year.

The third is the founding of the country. The shogunate must unilaterally establish the United States and only be open to other colonists can it be opened to other colonists if the United States allows it. The shogunate agrees that they do not want to face the European colonists. In the supplementary terms, Japan and the Netherlands must also be decided by the United States.

The most important thing in the founding of the country was the trade port. Because the shogunate refused to open Edo, the United States chose Yokohama, an excellent port as the opening port in Edo Bay. In addition, there were Shizuoka, Sendai, Niigata, Toyama, and Kaga, a total of six trade ports. On the surface, it was three fewer than the nine in the negotiations in Taipei, but in essence it was the shogunate that it lost.

The reason is very simple. These trade ports are not actually controlled by the Shogun Alliance at present. As for the actual controlled territory, there is no need to make a decision. Places such as Nagasaki, Sakai, etc. are not as simple as trade ports.

In addition to trade ports, Japan's opening-up policy, especially tariffs, laws, etc., must negotiate with the United States. The tariffs for the previous ten years were handled by the United States to repay war reparations. In trade ports, the United States has concessions and enjoys legal privileges such as extraterritorial legal rights.

The shogunate lost a lot, so they agreed to all these terms, and some of them were acceptable, while the shogunate was not clear about the pros and cons, and even accepted them happily.

(When the Qing Dynasty signed an unequal treaty, foreigners were allowed to enjoy extraterritorial legal rights and consular judgment rights. At the beginning, the Qing Dynasty felt that it was too troublesome to judge foreigners, so it would be better to leave them to their own judgment)

After these three major items were approved by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, Ah Hai breathed a sigh of relief, at least most of the purpose was to achieve it. The shogunate represented by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi cares more about land, that is, how much land is ceded.

After the Battle of Sekihara and Oo, most of the Kinki Ten Kingdoms and the Seven Kingdoms of the East China Sea were already in the Shogun Alliance. The Shogunate lost another 4.4 million stone high territory. Now the territory ruled by Ah Hai exceeded 11 million stone high, which is already considered kind, because the army has landed in Edo Bay, and the Shogunate is powerless to rescue, and the Kanto 3.5 million stone high is within reach.

Kanto is a discount for Ahai to the shogunate, but the shogunate cannot accept that the United States annexed half of Japan. If that is the case, it would be better to fight to the end. So Ahai said that the United States does not have any territory on Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu Islands, which makes the shogunate completely relieved.

However, the United States just didn't want these three islands. More than a dozen islands, including Hokkien, Tsuma Island, and Sado, were all ceded to the United States by the shogunate, and they had to completely dissociate their relationship with Ryukyu.

Among these islands, the only thing the shogunate was unwilling to give up was Sado. There was only one Matsuebashi in the Hokkien land, and the little daimyo of 20,000 stone had already defected to the United States. The Japanese had no more than 30,000 on the island, and the Hokkien land had currently more than 300,000 Chinese. Although Tsushima Island was better, it was hanging overseas and Japan could not occupy it. Ryukyu had been taken into account by the United States. Only Sado, the gold and silver mines made it difficult for the shogunate to give up, but Ah Hai would not give up Sado, and in the end, Japan chose to obey.

Although the United States did not cede Japan's core land, the authority to decide the area occupied by the Shogun Alliance was left to the president, Ah Hai. As for how to make a decision, the shogunate did not control it, but the shogunate put forward two requirements. The first is to issue the ruling plan with the Tokugawa shogunate order, rather than the Emperor's order, in order to safeguard the authority of the shogunate.

Ah Hai has no objection to this point. Secondly, the United States shall not have vassal relationships with Japanese daimyo, nor shall it have ally relations with daimyo outside the inverted alliance.

The first half is easy to understand. The shogunate wants to settle accounts after the fall, but they are worried that as soon as the troops are sent, those daimyos will become vassal states of the United States. The liquidation of daimyos became a declaration of war with the United States, and the latter is targeted at the eastern daimyos, and both of them Ah Hai agreed.

The United States has no enemies in Japan, and the Tokugawa Shogunate is not an enemy. Whether it is the shogunate or the Daming, the Emperor, who can benefit the United States is a friend of the United States. At least for now, the shogunate that can make money for the United States is the best friend, while those foreign daimyos are ready to get territory from the United States.

As for the daimyos in the east, such as the Sendai Basilica, which had an ambiguous attitude, Ah Hai had no good feelings for them and was not prepared to protect them. Just kidding that the shogunate wanted to raise war reparations for the United States. If there was not enough cash, he would have to rob them. Just grab those daimyos in the east that did not work. Anyway, the shogunate was a feudal system. After thirty or fifty years, there would be a large number of independent lords there.

The negotiations finally achieved results. The shogunate lost a lot, but it kept the most critical things. First, the shogunate was still the only ruling institution in Japan. The samurai was still the ruling class, and the Tokugawa family was also the only legal ruler. Secondly, Japan was still Japan, the Japanese.

During the negotiations, the shogunate also found a lot of resonance with the United States, such as the control of religion. In this inverted alliance, there were Chezhidan represented by Nobuma Goto, namely Catholics, and the mercenary Garcia group. After Matsuhira Nobuzu expressed his concerns about religious rebellion against Japan, Ah Hai believed that this was not a problem at all.

Ahai made a guarantee that Europeans like Garcia would receive rewards, but would not receive Japanese territory. Secondly, the missionary of Chezhidan was restricted. Ahai promised that only Chezhidan was allowed to preach on the four countries and one island. Even if Chezhidan warriors had territory in other places, they only had the right to believe in religion and had no right to preach. In fact, Chezhidan warriors would not have any major religious problems. To put it bluntly, Chezhidan had been in Southeast Asia for so many years, especially in the United States system. They believed in European Catholicism, but Catholicism after the sinicization of the United States Religious Affairs Bureau.

Religion is a way to control people, and Goto Nobuma also understands this, so it doesn’t matter what you believe in, as long as that religion is controlled by yourself.

In Nagoya, the United States and the Tokugawa Shogunate achieved success in negotiations, but it did not mean the end of the Japanese war. The reason was that the Shogun League had already achieved a lot of economic benefits in this war and also wanted to obtain political benefits. How to appease Daming and Sanben Guns and others in the war was another important thing, but the successful negotiations with the Tokugawa Shogunate were the basis for ruling the internal affairs of the Union.

In mid-October, all the Daming and the samurai warriors received a general order from the Tokugawa Shogunate and the General Principal Office, namely the order of a ceasefire. No private fight between the Shogunate Alliance and the Shogunate, and everything was decided by the General Principal Office and the Shogunate.

After the end of the Oroe Melee, the Overthrow Alliance already had the right to dispose of Kyushu, Shikoku, Sanyin, Sanyang, Kinki, Tokai and other countries. Of course, there is no absolute right to dispose of it, because in many places, the original Daming and the vassal lords surrendered or fled, but the local samurai were still resisting. Of course, this kind of security war against the United States will no longer participate. Whoever the territory belongs to will be responsible for the elimination.

All the real power lords of the Anti-State Alliance gathered in Nagoya Tensou Pavilion, which was a gathering. Before that, Ah Hai announced as the president's president that he would refuse the addition of Matsumae-fan and other foreign daimyos who did not participate in the war, which was recognized by the daimyos. After all, no one would want to add more than a few more winners. However, in addition to the real power lord, there are more than 30 gorgeously dressed merchants in the Tianshou Pavilion, and these daimyos also knew them, some of them even had their own minions.

The merchants were the comprador class of Japan. During the War of the Anti-Sutra, they provided war loans and military supplies to Daming, organized manpower to transport military rations, and provided intelligence to the alliance. They did not go to the battlefield, but they made great contributions. The Damings were originally planning to go back and reward themselves, but they never thought they were invited here and became a force.
