Chapter 711 The 23rd Year of Chongzhen
Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately summoned Masamoto Hirota and asked: "How, is the Ming army willing to withdraw? What conditions do they need to withdraw their troops and return to their country?"
Masato Hirota sighed: "Your Excellency General, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has put forward four conditions."
"Emperor of Ming Dynasty?" Tokugawa Iehimitsu was also stunned, "Emperor of Ming Dynasty came in person?"
The other officials present were also shocked.
The Ming Emperor came in person, and the nature was different.
"Yes, it was really the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who came here in person." Jutian Masatori said with a bitter face, "Emperor Chongzhen."
"Baga!" Tokugawa Iehiko's face immediately became a little embarrassed, and she said angrily, "It's just hundreds of merchants and civilians of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of hatred is it that he is worthy of crossing the ocean to attack Japan with the honor of the emperor?"
At this time, a Ruonian asked, "What four conditions did he put forward?"
When Hirotian Masato heard this, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell the truth.
Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "Senior Hirota, no matter what Chongzhen said, just repost it."
"Hai." Masamoto Hirota paused his head and stood up straight and said, "First, ceding the entire island of Kyushu to the Ming Dynasty; second, opening up all port cities in Japan, allowing merchants in the Ming Dynasty to trade freely."
Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu and the officials present had already looked embarrassed.
After a pause, Juetian Masato continued: "Third, compensation of 10 million taels of gold, 100 million taels of silver, and 100 million jin of copper, and even more excessively, the fourth article, and Emperor Shaoren and the Supreme General need to thank Daming for separatism."
"Baga! What nonsense was Chongzhen talking about? What did he regard our Japan as?"
"Yes, Japan is an equal country with the Ming Dynasty, not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!"
"It is unbearable to Chongzhen bully our Japan so much. I suggest that you immediately convene all the daimyos in Japan and all the flag books of the Tianling Ge, and fight to the death with the Ming army!"
"That's right, although the Ming army has the advantage of firearms, our Japan has the right time, place and population. With its absolute advantage in military strength, and rationally utilizing the terrain advantages, it may not be impossible to win!"
"Your Excellency General, I and others request a fight to the death!"
The dozen officials present were in an instant.
Because the conditions raised by Chongzhen were too excessive.
A normal emperor would not make such excessive demands.
So, what else to talk about with an abnormal emperor?
Only Tokugawa Yoshinaga, who was sitting under the Tokugawa Ie-ghost, said nothing.
The reason is also very simple. The Osaka Winter Formation left a terrible impression in Tokugawa Yoshinaga's mind that was indelible in this life, so that he could not have the courage to resist again, which was really impossible to beat.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was obviously also worried and asked Tokugawa Yoshihide: "Uncle Jiu?"
Tokugawa Yoshina sighed lightly and said, "You have never fought with the Ming army. I don't know how sharp the Ming army's firearms are, especially the Ming army's navy's firearms. They are so cruel that we can't win."
Chongzhen said now: "Parent Gao, after conquering Japan this time, you don't have to stay by my side as a servant. There are not many days left. Just enjoy your old age in Nanjing."
"Long live the emperor!" Gao Qiqian was so scared that he knelt down.
"Did the old slave do something bad and make you angry?"
"Get up." Chongzhen helped Gao Qiqi up and said, "You have done nothing wrong. I won't mention what Chongzhen had done seventeen years ago. You have done very well after seventeen years."

"When I go back to Nanjing this time, I will enthrone you and Wang Daban as eunuchs."
After a moment of saliva, he said, "From now on, you and Wang Daban will accompany your family in Nanjing and enjoy your old age."
"Long live the emperor!" It was confirmed that Chongzhen was not testing. Gao Qi was surprised and frightened in his heart, and he was choked and unable to speak for a moment.
Chongzhen continued to remind: "However, I must warn you not to do whatever you want because you are the king's title and my favor with you. The Ming Dynasty in the future is no longer the Ming Dynasty in the past. Now even the royal relatives and even the royal family and vassal kings have no privileges. If you violate the law, you will be punished by the officials."
"If you commit a crime in Nanjing, you will be arrested by the Governor Yingtian's yamen."
"But never ask to come to me, I can't afford to abandon that person."
He paused for a moment and said in a serious tone: "Parent Gao, have you remembered it?"
"Long live, I've recorded it." Gao Qiqian said, wiping his tears, "When I return to Nanjing, I will be a low-key person, treat my neighbors as kindness, do more good deeds, and never deceive men and women to embarrass Master Long live, whisper."
At the end, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but cry again, and was really reluctant to leave.
"Why are you crying?" Chongzhen cursed with a smile, "This is not a separation from life and death. I will go to see you and Wang Daban when I pass by Nanjing. Our monarch and ministers still have time to meet."
"Yes, yes, what Master Long said." Gao Qiqian burst into tears and smiled, "Now the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous and full of vitality under the rule of yes. Life will only get better and better in the future. I will have a living life. I will meet with yes in the future for a long time."
After hearing this, Chongzhen was also moved.
"If you don't mention this, I almost forgot."
"The General Account of the Office of the Internal Affairs this year should have been almost done, right?"
He paused and said, "I don't know, how many other assets has the Ministry of Internal Affairs saved in this year?"
...
Not only Chongzhen was concerned about this issue, but also Prince Zhu Ciyang.
Zhu Cixiao took the five-year-old Zhu Heyan, as well as the three-year-old Zhu Hegui and Zhu Jinxiu, who were also three-year-old, and returned to the Nangong after watching the fireworks. They happened to see the crown princess putting a cloak on Zhu Cixuan.
After the prince's family and Zhu Cixiao arrived in Beijing, they both lived in Nangong.
Zhu Jinxiu followed Ran Sanniang to Nangong to find the Crown Princess because the Wanshou Palace was too deserted.
Emperor Chongzhen was really stingy. He was so big that there were only dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in Wanshou Palace.
Originally, Li Xiangjun was accompanied, but since Li Xiangjun returned to Sichuan to supervise the army last month, only Ran Sanniang and his daughter were left in Wanshou Palace. It was New Year's Eve again tonight, so Nangong came to the south.
"Brother, you still have to go out so late?" Zhu Cixi asked casually.
"Well, I have to go to the Interior Office." Before Zhu Cixuan finished speaking, Zhu Hegui had already run over with his short legs and asked Zhu Cixuan to hug him, but Kang Xi picked him up.
Zhu Heye also pestered Zhu Cixuan and said, "Father, I want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Don't mess around, my father has some serious business." Kang Xi could only hand over Zhu Hegui to Zhu Cixu, and then bent down to pick up Zhu He's wife.
"Article, stay in Nangong to accompany Wu Uncle, Mother, Brother, Concubine Ran and Jinxiu. After the father finished his work, he will come back to stay with you for the New Year. I will set off firecrackers to explode the New Year beast at the same time." Zhu Cixuan weighed Zhu Heyi's little nose, turned around and went out.
When I came to the yard, I saw the snow getting heavier and heavier. I couldn't help but sigh that it was a heavy snow, and auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year, Beizhi and Jinki will definitely be an unprecedented good year.
Now the national power of the Ming Dynasty is really booming and booming.
The official office of the Interior Affairs Office is located in the old tribute courtyard not far from the Nangong Palace.
After the capital was restored, the old tribute court was appointed as an official office by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for the Imperial College entrance examination in the Beijing Supervisory Commission, it will be carried out within the Imperial College entrance examination.
The first Imperial College entrance examination in Beijing has been completed, and more than 9,000 Imperial College students have officially entered the school.
