Chapter 917

"Failed!"

In Nagasaki, in just one day, Yamada Nobunaga received the news of the fiasco of Naozu, Takasugi's death in battle, and 70,000 musketeers casualties, almost all the elites under his command.

The soldiers of the Tokugawa family, the Sato family, the Otomo family, the Mouri family, and the Rokkaku family also suffered heavy losses.

Now these defeated soldiers are on their way back, and the most miserable Tokugawa family fled directly to Nagasaki, and now it is Tokugawa Megumi who brings him news.

"200,000 soldiers and horses just lost to the 20,000-strong Da Yu Kingdom, and all the naval battleships were lost?" Yamada Nobunaga said incredulously.

Tokugawa Huiyi was very embarrassed. At this time, his clothes were full of holes, and his face was black and white, like a beggar.

"I lost, I lost all. The firearms of the Great Yu Kingdom are too powerful. We are not opponents at all. I and the other daimyo persisted to the end, but the soldiers were still scattered." Tokugawa benefited from snot and tears.

In the past, Yamada Nobunaga might have suspected that this was a shirk from Tokugawa's favor, but now he understands it is the truth.

For him, the news was like cold water, quenching the hope that had ignited in his heart.

"In that case, how did you come back?" Yamada Nobunaga asked coldly.

Mentioning this matter, Tokugawa Megumi looked guilty, "It was a general named Liu Chen who let us go, and he asked me to send a message to the daimyo."

"Say!"

"Commander Liu Chen said that as long as the daimyo surrendered to the Great Yu Kingdom and signed the Treaty of Nazhijin, the war between the two countries could be stopped. If the daimyo persisted, their next target would be Nagasaki, until the Japanese kingdom was destroyed." Megumi Tokugawa said cautiously.

"What is the Treaty of Nanotsu?" Yamada Nobunaga frowned.

Tokugawa Megumi immediately took out a copy of the treaty from his arms and handed it to Yamada Nobunaga. After taking over the treaty, Yamada Nobunaga just glanced at it and stood up angrily.

"Bastard, bastard, the war indemnity of 200 million taels of silver, is this preparation for us to be slaves to the Great Yu Kingdom forever?" Yamada Nobunaga was furious.

Tokugawa Megumi sighed, "Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take more than ten years to gather the power of all the big names."

Yamada's Nobunaga's chest heaved violently, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked on. In addition to the first article of compensation for the 200 million taels of war indemnity for the Great Yu Kingdom, the second article of this treaty humiliatingly officially designated the Japanese kingdom as the Great Yu Kingdom. Regarding the name of their country, Article 3 requires them to recognize the independence of the Sanshan Kingdom. From then on, the Sanshan Kingdom and a series of islands in the south cannot be coveted by the Japanese kingdom. He, Kanagawa and other ports, and provided coal and water to the ships of the Dayu Kingdom.

Article 5: The Great Yu State has the right to navigate the Japanese inland waters, and the attack on the warships and ships of the Great Yu State in the inland river will be regarded as an act of war.

Article 6: All the expenses for the garrison of the Dayu State in Nazhijin shall be borne by the Japanese state. All Japanese islanders in Nazhijin who have not been approved by the Dayu State will be removed from Nazhijin within a three-month period, and all buildings and materials in the city will be provided. It is the property of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Article 7: The city of Japan allows Qingzhou Bank to settle in, agrees to use the currency of Dayu State for domestic transactions, gives the most preferential treatment to the merchants of Dayu State, and shall not levy any taxes.

Then, the time for the repayment of the war reparations by the Japanese state was also agreed. The two hundred million taels of silver should be paid off in eight installments. The first time, the reparations of 40 million taels should be paid to the Great Yu State, and the remaining seven times would decrease in turn.

After reading all the treaties, Yamada Nobunaga almost fainted. This treaty is a bare humiliation to the Japanese country. If he signs it, he will be infamous for eternity.

"I'm mad at me, I'm mad at me!" Yamada Nobunaga slowly sat down with the pillar, and he threw the treaty on the ground.

Tokugawa's benefit is more anxious than Yamada Nobunaga. Nanotsu is the asset of the Tokugawa family. It hurts more than cutting his flesh.

"Da Ming, the Great Yu country is too deceiving, it is better to gather all the da Ming and them to come and break the net." Tokugawa Hui said angrily.

Nobunaga Yamada shook his head and shook his head in pain, he said: "If we can't win, maybe we can achieve a short-term victory, but the Great Yu Kingdom only dispatched 20,000 people this time. How about tens of thousands of people? The most important thing now is to keep our status.”

Tokugawa Huiji suddenly recalled that they already knew what Dayu had done in Goryeo, and now they can't help but shudder when they think of it.

"The world has changed. If we can't keep up, we will be severely left behind. We can agree to these conditions, but the Great Yu Kingdom must agree to send people to study abroad." Yamada Nobunaga said.

"But, will the people of Dayu agree to us?"

"If we don't agree, we will fight to the death with them until the last person." Yamada Nobunaga said with narrowed eyes.

Tokugawa Megumi nodded when he heard the words, "If that's the case, I'll send someone to pass the news back now."

After all, Tokugawa Megumi called a cavalry soldier and asked him to return to Nanotsu with the news.

The next day, the news was passed to Yue Yun.

"Hahaha... This Yamada is a bit interesting. He asked to send a samurai to study in the Great Yu Country." Yue Yun sent the letter to Liu Chen.

"It seems that the emperor is right, this Yamada Nobunaga is still a bit far-sighted." Liu Chen asked: "So what should we do now?"

Yue Yun had already made a plan, he said: "When he came, the emperor said that if the Japanese country proposes such conditions, it can be agreed, but the war indemnity should be increased to 300 million taels, and at the same time, as a defeated country, the Japanese country must surrender the army command. Without the approval of the Great Yu Kingdom, no army may be formed, and only soldiers who maintain law and order can be retained.”

"The emperor agreed?" Liu Chen said incredulously, "Why? What if the Japanese country became stronger because of this?"

"The emperor is definitely more thoughtful than we thought. Even if the Japanese country sends personnel to the country of Da Yu, what and how much they teach is under our control. Otherwise, if they go to learn from Europe, the trouble will be even greater. The ability of Chinese businessmen can completely take the opportunity to control the economic lifeline of the Japanese country. All of this is to control the Japanese country more deeply. The most important thing is that we cannot fall into the mud of war yet. To implement the strategy of gradual encroachment, we still use plundering. Resource-based.”

Liu Chen nodded, "Yes, it is unrealistic to keep the Japanese country at this technological level forever. Now that they have been defeated by us and understand the power of the industry, it is even more unrealistic. They will definitely do everything possible to develop the industry."

"So, instead of letting it steal our technology secretly or learn from the West, it is better to let businessmen bring some technology and take the opportunity to control their industrial lifeline. With military and political control, it is difficult for the Japanese country to turn around." Yue Yun said coldly.
