"Master Taige has a body of ten thousand gold. This place is too dangerous. It's better to leave here first and take shelter elsewhere for the time being!"

Seeing that under the constant bombardment of Ming Dynasty naval artillery, Nagoya Castle was on fire everywhere and wailing constantly, several attendants rushed to help, hoping to allow Toyotomi Hideyoshi to leave here temporarily.

"No, I'm not going anywhere! The artillery of the Ming Dynasty can't hit me yet!"

After vigorously pushing away several attendants, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was short and shaped like a hozen, stubbornly insisted on staying in this palace.

"Lord Taige, even if the Ming Dynasty's artillery can't hit here, but the fire in the city is getting bigger and bigger, once it spreads here..."

Seeing that the Ming army's artillery fire was too fierce and the fire-fighting efficiency was really low, and the fire in the city was becoming uncontrollable, several of the servants couldn't help but become extremely anxious.

"Why panic? I am the destiny of destiny. How can a mere ordinary fire do anything to me!"

After glancing at the panicked attendants, Toyotomi Hideyoshi yelled almost madly.

"Crack!"

Coincidentally, just as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a flash of lightning, followed by a 'bang' of thunder exploding in the sky.

Then, along with the roar of the Ming army's artillery, thunder continued to explode in the air, as if they were going to compete with the Ming army's artillery.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the arrogant Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly felt a cold feeling on the back of his hand, but at some point, a drop of raindrops fell on the back of his hand.

"God bless me, God bless me, hahahaha!"

"Clatter!"

As the first drop of rain fell, amidst Toyotomi Hideyoshi's manic laughter, a heavy downpour followed.

The fire that had been ignited by Ming army artillery fire in the city and had gradually become uncontrollable was quickly extinguished in this heavy rain. Even the Ming army artillery fire that had been roaring before stopped bombarding it at this moment.

"Ban Zai! Ban Zai!! Ban Zai!!!"

Facing this coincidental scene, several of the attendants who had been panicked before were now kneeling down in front of the 'monkey' with excited expressions and shouting 'Sakazai' loudly.

Soon, under the leadership of these few servants, they spread the word from one to ten, and the whole Nagoya heard the excited "Sakazai!"

"Haha, if the Marquis hadn't said that this house-protecting city would still be useful in the future, do you think I would have chosen such a weather to bombard it?"

Listening to the excited screams of the Japanese pirates in the city from a distance, on the Royal Navy's lucky ship, the naval admiral Chen Lin couldn't help but have a look of contempt on his face at this moment.

"Haha, if you don't give them some hope, how can you make them stick to it? Hahahaha!"

At the same time, Deputy Admiral Deng Zilong was also stroking his gray beard and laughing.

It turns out that the previous order the Royal Navy received was to teach the Japanese a lesson but not to really destroy Nagoya.

Because this place has been designated by Wang Bing in advance as the first base for the Ming army after they land.

Therefore, after Chen Lin and Deng Zilong made some observations, they specifically chose a weather with possible heavy rain to bombard Nagoya.

…

"Your Majesty, the Japanese country is barren and is a land of barbarians. If we conduct a cross-sea expedition, it will cost a lot of money and it will really outweigh the gains..."

"Your Majesty, since the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops have been completely wiped out, their country must have been shaken and frightened. If they send envoys to care for them at this time, they will definitely be grateful to our Ming Dynasty..."

While the Royal Navy was bombarding Nagoya, thousands of miles away, the Ming Dynasty's capital, the Qianqing Palace Yangxin Hall in the Forbidden City, a group of cabinet ministers and six ministers, as well as officials from the Fifth Military Governor's Office, Yushitai, etc., also He was discussing with the emperor the conquest of Japan.

However, as the Undefeated Military God and Ma Gui had expected, except for the emperor and several governors with no real power in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, including Shi Xing, Minister of War, no one agreed with this cross-strait proposal proposed by Wang Bing. He was trying to find various reasons to shirk his proposal to conquer Japan.

Not only that, but there were also many censors who were full of "Mother's Heart" and even had the idea of ​​​​sending envoys to appease them, which made the muscles on the face of the fat man on the throne twitch.

"Is it possible that I, the great heavenly dynasty, have been humiliated by a small country in vain? How will that undermine the majesty of my great celestial dynasty?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the little fat man stared at the censor Yanguan who proposed to send envoys to appease him with a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is really not appropriate to offer favors at this time! The imperial court should take advantage of this great victory to send envoys to the Japanese, severely reprimand them, and make them come to court to apologize!"

As the saying goes, it's not enough to say it before. Seeing that the untimely suggestions of the imperial advisers had really angered the little fat man, Pan Sheng, the chief assistant, quickly stood up and directly changed the favor proposal of the imperial advisers to Send envoys to rebuke.

"Pan Aiqing, I am not a merciless king! In the past, Mr. Zhang taught me many times when he was still alive, not to be too obsessed with martial arts, and I deeply believe it!"

Seeing that Pan Sheng, the chief assistant recommended by Zhang Juzheng before his death, did not follow suit and agree with the suggestion of sending an envoy to caress the Japanese, the little fat man's anger, which was on the verge of exploding, finally dissipated somewhat.

"However, these Japanese scoundrels are really heartless and ambitious people. They dare to ask me, the Ming Dynasty, to get married, cede territory, and pay compensation. I wonder, who can endure such a huge insult!"

As he spoke, the little fat man waved his hand and threw a booklet on the dragon case directly in front of the imperial officials who proposed to send envoys to appease the Japanese.

"As the saying goes, the Taoist Lord humiliates his ministers to death! Take a closer look. Is it true that letting me and Ming Dynasty be humiliated is what you, as ministers, should do?"

As the booklet was thrown out, the little fat man once again roared at the censors in a vehement tone.

"Your Majesty, could this be it?"

Seeing the stern expression on the little fat man's face, Yuan Sheng couldn't help but feel a move in his heart and raised his head to look at the throne.

"These are the terms of peace negotiations proposed by the Japanese to the champion. They seem to regard me, the Ming Dynasty, as the weak Song Dynasty in the past..."

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you...I'm talking nonsense without knowing what's going on. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"

Before the little fat man could finish what he said, the expressions of several imperial censors who had read the booklet suddenly changed and they quickly fell to the ground to plead guilty.

"Pan Aiqing, see for yourself!"

Ignoring the pleas from several imperial censors, the little fat man did not continue, but asked Pan Sheng to read the terms of the peace talks by himself.

"Wild rebellion! Wild rebellion and rudeness! Your Majesty, please send troops to the Japanese country!"

After taking a few glances at the terms of the Japanese peace talks, Pan Sheng, who had not stated his position clearly before, but clearly did not agree with the cross-sea expedition against the Japanese, suddenly changed his attitude at this moment and directly supported Wang Bing's proposal to conquer the Japanese.

There was no way around it. Although the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were already corrupt at this time, they had changed after Zhang Juzheng's reforms. They were not like the literati who were a few decades later in the original history, with no blood and no integrity.

Therefore, after seeing that the Japanese country actually asked the princess of the Ming Dynasty to marry, ceded the four peninsulas, and resumed tribute trade as disguised compensation conditions, Pan Sheng, the chief minister, was instantly angry.

"Everyone, please take a look!"

Finally, Pan Sheng handed the Japanese peace terms to everyone for circulation.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to conquer!"

"Your Majesty, such a arrogant and rebellious country should be punished!"

"Your Majesty, the last general has asked for orders to follow the champion to conquer Japan!"

…

Soon, as the terms of the Japanese peace talks were circulated, the civil servants who had previously unanimously opposed the conquest of Japan were now united in a wave of "united efforts to unite the court" in the opposite direction! As for Tai

No one even mentioned the ancestral system.

You know, even the emperor was captured by humans, and the Ming Dynasty did not even give in at all. So under this situation, it has become "politically correct" to conquer and punish the Japanese country. Everyone present is an officialdom veteran.

, who would make such a principled mistake?

'Lao San is still a kid with lots of clever ideas. He just postponed the terms of the peace talks for a few days, so these pedantic guys had no choice but to support him, hahahaha!'
