"No, we will negotiate with them!"

To the great surprise of the leading Tibetan lords and daimyo, what came out of Ukita Hideie's mouth was not a military attack, but a peace negotiation.

"Peace talks? I'm afraid it's not something we can decide on, right?"

Although they were surprised by what Ukita Hideie said about the peace talks, none of the leading feudal lords had any objections. They were just worried that this matter would offend Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

There was no way. Judging from the situation where the Ming army was pressing down on the border and the two most powerful pioneers, Konishi Yukinagakudo and Kato Kiyomasa, were completely out of contact, these Japanese feudal lords had realized at this time that the First Army and the Second Army were

The second army is probably in dire straits.

Under such circumstances, even though they still have an army of 110,000 people, they have lost their previous arrogance.

Therefore, after hearing that Ukita Hideie, the nominal commander-in-chief, proposed peace talks, what everyone was worried about was that except for the blame of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "Taiko", no one put forward other different opinions.

"Don't worry, gentlemen. I have reported this matter to Mr. Taige. Please invite Mr. Ishida!"

After waving to the leading feudal lords, Ukita Hide suddenly turned his head towards the screen and spoke.

"Ishida Mitsunari has met you!"

As soon as Ukita Hideie finished speaking, his robes flashed, and a person walked out from behind the screen. It was none other than Toyoda Hideyoshi's close confidant, Ishida Mitsunari.

In fact, after the Ming army "secured" Hokutokan, the Ukita Hide family realized that their Taiko master, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, first conquered North Korea, and then used North Korea as a springboard to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

'The dream is impossible to achieve.

Therefore, while discussing with various armies to reinforce Seoul, he had already sent people back to Japan. While truthfully reporting the current war situation to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he also euphemistically proposed peace talks with the Ming army.

Of course, after receiving the latest battle report from Ukita Hideie, 'Monkey' certainly couldn't believe it at first. After all, since the Japanese troops landed on the peninsula, the news he had received was one big victory after another. Now suddenly let

It would be impossible for anyone else to accept the peace talks he made when he was victorious.

Therefore, from the "monkey's" perspective, the "peace talks" were nothing more than a test of himself by Ukita Hide and other generals on the expedition.

Therefore, for unknown reasons, Toyoda Hideyoshi, who was originally furious about this matter, finally agreed to Ukita Hideie's peace negotiation proposal and sent his close confidant Ishida Mitsuru to become the supervisor and peace envoy.

"Gentlemen, Lord Taige is very disappointed!"

After the ceremony, Ishida Mitsunari's first words conveyed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's disappointment to everyone.

"Before the war, all the monarchs had vowed to conquer the Ming Dynasty for Lord Taige and fulfill Lord Taige's long-cherished wish of 'transforming the customs of our dynasty into the four hundred states'. However..."

Under the shameful expressions of all the Tibetan lords, the stern-faced Ishida Mitsunari's words became more and more serious, and he almost cursed at everyone.

"We feel ashamed to have failed Lord Taige and to have failed to meet Lord Taige's expectations!"

Facing Ishida Mitsunari's scolding, including the commander-in-chief Ukita Hideie, they could only apologize on the ground and did not dare to refute at all.

There is no way, at this moment Ishida Mitsunari represents Toyotomi Hideyoshi. So although everyone knows that this guy's words at this moment contain "private goods", everyone can only endure it.

"However, Lord Taige considers that you have done a lot of hard work without any merit. In addition, you have been away from home for a long time, so I have decided to allow you to negotiate peace with the Ming army. I have specially sent you as an envoy. I hope that you can cooperate with me..."

Finally, when all the Tibetan lords lying on the ground were ashamed and angry, Ishida Mitsunari finally got to the point.

…

1. The Ming Dynasty married a princess and the emperor as his queen;

Second, reopen trade between the two countries;

3. King Seoul and the four northern provinces were returned to North Korea, and the four southern provinces were ceded to Japan;

4. North Korea sent a prince to Japan as a hostage;

5. North Korean ministers will never rebel against Japan;

…

"Ishida-kun, this...this...is this the peace negotiation condition given by Mr. Taikaku?"

After ostensibly representing Toyoda Hideyoshi, but actually being "private goods" and blaming many daimyo, Ishida Mitsunari finally came up with the conditions proposed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for the peace talks.

However, when everyone saw the terms of the peace negotiation, even those die-hard loyalists of Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

There is no way, the content of the so-called "Tomorrow's Peace Conditions" proposed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi is really too harsh! The many conditions it proposed completely put Japan in the position of a victorious country, without any indication of the

Show no sign of sincerity in equal peace talks.

For example, the first item in this "peace condition" is to marry the Princess of Ming Dynasty to the emperor as his queen, which is to make a marriage.

What a joke, even if these Tibetan lords and famous people didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, they knew that there was no precedent for marriage in the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, there are harsh terms such as resumption of trade equivalent to compensation, ceding territory, and sending hostages!

I am afraid that even if the Ming army is defeated, they will not agree to such conditions, not to mention that the Ming army still has the upper hand at this moment.

Of course, this 'faint' feeling is just the Japanese's own illusion.

"Why, do you think there is anything wrong with Lord Taige's terms of peace talks?"

Seeing all the feudal lords looking at each other in disbelief, Ishida Mitsunari couldn't help but his face darkened.

'What's wrong? There are so many things wrong!'

After hearing Ishida Mitsunari's inquiry, everyone couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts.

It's just that despite the slander, no one came forward to express doubts.

"Ishida-kun, isn't this too... too harsh?"

In the end, only Ukita Hideie, the commander-in-chief who suggested peace talks, stood up.

"Is it harsh? I don't think Lord Taige's conditions are harsh! If the Ming Dynasty felt that it was harsh, wouldn't there be monarchs? As long as the monarchs can fight bravely, they will agree to the conditions no matter how harsh they are.

of!"

Faced with Ukita Hideie's doubts, Ishida Mitsunari sneered with a confident look on his face.

'Baga! If we can be sure to defeat the Ming army, why do we need any peace talks!'

Seeing that Ishida Mitsunari actually put the success of the peace talks on himself and others, all the silent Tibetan lords and daimyo couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.

Of course, facing Mitsunari Ishida, who was representing Toyota Hideyoshi at this moment, these people only dared to curse in their hearts.

"Since all of you have no objections, then the matter has been settled. I hope that you will take good care of me!"

Finally, looking at the silent feudal lords, Ishida Mitsunari looked at everyone and bowed.

…

"Yu Xijun, would the Ming army be willing to negotiate with us on such peace terms?"

After Ishida Mitsunari left, all the Japanese feudal lords who had been silent before now all looked at Ukita Hideie, the proposer of the peace talks.
