"Although this treaty is very uncomfortable, it is not unacceptable to take a closer look." Morimoto coughed twice, and broke down the retainers one by one:

"Look at the first point first. The Maori family gave up the naval army. I have said before that we will not be able to rebuild the naval army within a few years. Without the naval army, we will naturally be unable to protect our ports, so it is no different if we agree to this one. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty fleet is willing to provide us with maritime protection, which is actually a temporary solution."

"Well..." The retainers couldn't help but nodded, as if they were really like this. Someone deceived himself and said, "Please be a watchdog for us, so the show is so good!"

"How can you say that about the Celestial Kingdom?" someone hurriedly said.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I should say the respected guard dog." The man corrected.

"Hahaha!" The retainers laughed. After saying a few words behind their backs, they accepted the result of the coastal defense handing over others.

So, whether it is the Li Dynasty or the Japanese, there is actually no essential difference. For thousands of years around the Heavenly Kingdom, the spirit of "majorism" has been immersed in their bones. However, the former has been beaten more often and is more gentle; the latter has to teach a lesson through the sea before he can remember who is the eldest brother and who is the younger brother.

"As for the second article, since you ask others to be responsible for coastal defense, it is natural to pay the target money. If you ask others to help you fight, there is no reason to not pay for money." Maorimoto continued to explain:

"As for the third article, Ichiki Island now joins the remnants of Nizi to provide help to Kanosuke. Even if there is no such treaty, I will deal with them as soon as I free up my hands."

"Article 4: Opening the hot spring trade is a good thing. Otherwise, if we want to purchase overseas materials, we can only go through the merchants of Hakata or Sakai. Those vampires even have to blackmail their allies, not to mention that they are still hostile to us. So there is a trade port that belongs to us, which is beneficial but not harmful."

After a pause, he said again: "As for the forty miles around Wenquanjin, it is basically mountainous and has no population, so there is no big problem whether to station troops or not."

"But there is Shi Jian Yin Mountain, lord!" the retainers reminded.

Hot Spring is actually the outer port of Ishimi Yinshan. Its main function is to serve as a export port of silver and an unloading terminal for materials required for mining operations. Naturally, it will not be too far from Ishimi Yinshan, only less than twenty miles.

If this article is followed, wouldn’t I also want to withdraw the defenders of Shi Jianyinshan?

This is what the Ming Dynasty people should have had, because the fifth article clearly stated that they would either take out five million taels as war compensation and redemption fees, or hand over Shi Jianyinshan!

Although the Maori family occupied seven or eight silver mountains, including Ishimi Ginshan, Satoshi Ginshan, and Shanfu Ginshan. But firstly, Japan's mining and refining technology was backward, and the production of Yinshan was limited; secondly, the Maori family had been fighting for years and had huge expenses; thirdly, the Liangchuan system had limited control over its subsidiaries, so the Maori family could not even get one million taels, let alone ten million taels.

Judging from the extent to which the Ming Dynasty people were aware of the Maori family, they must know that they could not afford so much money, so the only one who was trying to do was Shi Jian Yinshan.

"Ishimi Yinshan produces one million taels of silver per year. After deducting the cost, it will be more than 800,000 taels per year. It will take twelve years to save up 10 million taels of silver." Mori Moon laughed and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Besides, Kanosuke kept harassing Ishimi. Before he cleared his power, it was impossible for Ginshan to produce normally. It is not completely unacceptable to give it to the Ming people."

Although the other seven silver mountains combined, the output is not half that of Ishimiji Silver Mountain. It is much better than the heavy debt of ten million taels.

Moreover, Japan in the Warring States Period lags behind the Ming Dynasty in the economic level. Their main hard currency was still rice. They could directly pay rice by buying and selling various materials and weapons. Therefore, the main indicator to measure the strength of the Daming Kingdom was rice production, which is the so-called "Shigao".

For Japanese daimyo, although silver and gold are expensive, they can only do business or diplomacy with wealthy merchants. In general, it is not as practical as rice or copper coins. So whether it is Maori Yuan or Otomo Sorin, they do not regard Yinshan as an unscathed lifeline. It is almost the same as the finger...

Although the fingers are chopped off, they will not kill anyone.

And there is also the most important point, Maori Yuan did not say it. That is, in the eyes of Daming of the Warring States Period, the treaty is not absolutely unbreakable. As long as the strength comparison between one's and the other's side changes, the contract can be broken as needed at any time.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about how many appointments he had made with Otomo Sorin? Every time it was forced by the situation, so I had to do it. When I turned around and waited for my free hand, I sniffed and tore the letter to the slap.

So he didn't think that the contract with the Ming Dynasty could last for more than ten years. When his two sons came back and cleared the remnants of the Da Nei family and the Nizi family, he could consider taking back the Yinshan Mountain.

Exchange time for space and reputation for real profit. This is the wisdom of Japan Zhuge. Bah!

~~

As a result, Mori Moto only made one request, asking Zhao Hao to convince Otoyo's army to make a way out so that the two sons in Menshi Castle could lead their subordinates to safely cross the Guanmen Strait. For this reason, he was willing to persuade Kaichiro Takiyayama Castle, who was still in resistance, to surrender, and let Takahashi Kenzu, Akitsuki and others all retreat to Honshu Island.

Seeing that he was so well-informed, Mr. Zhao happily rejected his request and stated his basic principle of "not interfering in the struggle between vassals."

Maori Gong smiled bitterly when he heard the news, "Mori Yuan, when did I become your vassal?" But this young master of the Ming Dynasty is really unlucky. It is too difficult to get some advantage from him."

He stopped mentioning this and accepted Zhao Hao's six major conditions.

Therefore, on the tenth day of the winter month, the two sides held a signing ceremony at Akamaguchi, where the Maori family belongs.

Moreover, Mr. Zhao decided to attend the signing contract in person, and Jin Ke and Gao Wu were very worried about this. After all, they could only dominate the sea. When they arrived on land, they could not guarantee absolute safety.

But Zhao Hao had already decided, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him. They could only be very energetic and do a good job of security just in case.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the sky is blue and the wind is light, and it is rare to be calm in the strait.

The warships of the Royal Coast Guard Fleet of the Ming Dynasty were neatly lined up on the sea outside Chijian Pass. The decks and hulls of each ship were cleaned, and there were no traces of gunpowder and blood. The yellow and orange cannons were bright and bright, and the black muzzles pointed at Chijian Pass not far away.

On this memorable day, the coast guard officers and soldiers all took off their wrinkled training uniforms, put on straight dark blue turtleneck robe, tied with cowhide copper buckle belt, long black leather boots, dark blue hat and helmet, gloves and white cotton gloves, and on the side of the boat, neatly standing on the side of the dock.

At the right time, three earth-shaking cannons sounded on the flagship, and then all the warships and artillery fired together, scaring the Maori family outside the Akama Pass so much that they almost ran away with their heads. They didn't know that it was a warhead salute, and they thought that the Ming Dynasty wanted to kill them.

After the sound of cannons, an exciting snare drum sounded. Amid the sound of the drums, teams of tall marines carried bayonets and polished Longqing rifles, and walked down the 101 warship on the shore in an orderly manner.

The average height of men in the north in the Ming Dynasty was 1.66 meters, while that of men in the south was 1.63, which surpassed that of European men of the same era, not to mention Japanese men who were less than 1.5 meters.

Today, in order to show off his power, Mr. Zhao specially selected tall men to leave the list. It is conceivable that when these coast guards, who were over 175 and were wearing thick-soled police boots, were basically about 1.8 meters tall, and were walking towards the front in neatly straight steps, it is conceivable that the impact on the Maori family would be great.

Look at the neatly dressed, majestic Ming Dynasty people, and the Maori "elite soldiers" wearing straw hats and hunched backs, and straw sandals and ragged cloth jackets, were as inconspicuous as dwarfs. Mori Mori's heart was cold. Unexpectedly, after getting ashore, the gap between the two sides was so big that it was still completely different!

'It seems that the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom has always been the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty has restored its heroic spirit to the Han and Tang dynasties...' Somehow, Maori Yuan was still a little proud. It was like looking at his father's youngest son who finally cheered up again, and I felt so at ease.

In fact, Maori Gong made a mistake in the judgment. The Ming Dynasty's official army was not so ruthless. Even the military troops of the garrison were not as good as his Maori army.

The coast guard troops were piled up by Mr. Zhao with silver! Mr. Zhao’s money for raising one soldier is enough for him to raise ten soldiers. If the gap is not big, wouldn’t it be useless?

After the Marines got off the ship in two columns, they stood on the road to Chijian Pass every five steps. After standing still, they looked straight and looked like loose, and they were even more upright and mighty.

After the 500 Marines lined up between Chijian Pass and the dock, the drum beat stopped. "The King of Qin Breaking the Formation" started. Mr. Zhao, accompanied by Zheng Ruozeng, Gao Jie and a group of senior police officers, slowly stepped down from the flagship and walked towards Chijian Pass with a solemn expression.

When he arrived, in front of Akama Pass, Maori Yuan quickly led the crowd to crawl on the ground and greeted him respectfully.

Zhao Hao looked at Maori Yuan lying on the ground and curled his lips slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

How can you show them the power of the Great Tomorrow if you don’t step on their land and not let them kneel at their feet and sing to conquer? How can you leave an indelible mark on them?

The Conqueror feels really good. Zhao Hao enjoyed it for a while before raising his hand slightly and said, "Please get up, Maori Gong."

After saying that, he went straight to the Chijianguan City Tower.

Then Morimoto followed the energetic young man with the support of his retainers and struggled to go up the city tower.
