Chapter 394 The Difficult Decision of Japan--
"...Including the profit and tax income from commercial transactions, at least 500,000 yuan per year, 185 million yuan, counted, that is, 92.5 million yuan, plus 30% of the interest, that is, more than 27.75 million yuan. The sum of the two things, the total should be 12,025 million yuan. ......"
The three magistrates, also known as the Legal Department, are ranked under the regent. They are the highest-level real-level real-power officials of the Ryukyu court, which is equivalent to the three public and three divisions of China. The three people are respectively responsible for the three responsibilities of using the place, giving the place, and bringing the party. Their rank is relative, ranging from the first grade to the second grade.
And standing here today is the place given by one of the three divisions. At this time, he was talking happily, but he was interrupted by life.
"What are you talking about?!" After a Japanese general kneeling behind heard the number reported by the Ryukyu minister, he couldn't help jumping up, put his hand on the handle of the knife around his waist, and stared.
However, before he could finish his bravery, he felt that the sky suddenly darkened, as if a dark cloud was over his head. The Japanese, who was not more than 1.58 meters tall, subconsciously looked up and found that it was not a dark cloud over his head, but a man as strong as a ghost.
The two tall giants, who were almost close to him, forked his throat with one hand and fiercely raised him in the air. There was a ferocious palpitating scar on the shiny forehead. In front of my young master, you actually stood by the knife. What do you want to do? Do you want to assassinate my young master?!"
The Japanese general had no strength to care about whether he was a knife or not. He tightly grasped the arm of the giant like the mansion with both hands and tried to open the big hand that stuck his throat. However, for the giant man, his strength was like an ant shaking the tree.
His face gradually turned purple, and his legs kicked hard, like a wild monkey hanging on a giant branch playing.
"Please stop it, Shang Guo Li Shi, stop it quickly." Matsudaira Nobuaki didn't think that he would come up like this. Although the number just said by the Ryukyu minister really shocked him, there was no need to make any trouble at this time, which annoyed the general of the Qing Dynasty who knew at a glance that he belonged to the rolling knife. Who knew whether he would really be cruel? The whole Edo was flattened with the heinously dense artillery of their warships.
I was annoyed that my subordinates were putting on the samurai bones for no reason, and I also hated that the Qing Guoshi was too disgraceful, and he actually looked at the samurai with a hand as if he were holding up a dog.
--------------------
"Well, monk, put people down. After all, we are guests, and we are people of the heavenly kingdom. We must have some compassion and kindness, so that others don't say that we bully the weak or something." Liang Pengfei stretched out a finger and picked out his nostrils, and said slowly.
"Okay, young master, let him go." After Monk Chen respectfully agreed, he threw the Japanese general, who had been stuck to death with his big hand, on the deck and retreated to the side. Although until now, his expression was still peaceful and respectful, but the eyes of those Japanese who looked at him began to flash. Light, there is fear and admiration.
In the eyes of the Japanese people, generally strong and powerful lethal people are generally called ghosts and gods. Anyway, during the Warring States Period, Japan was called ghost XX, XX ghosts, but today, they finally found that the previous one was too tall. In front of the amazingly strong giant, those so-called ghosts and gods who have been full of loess in the smoke of history are really scum compared with the one in front of them.
He withdrew his eyes from the monk Chen and saw Liang Pengfei, the dignified general of Shangguo, talking about cigars and picking his nostrils in spite of manners. Songping Xinming was so depressed that he wanted to spit blood.
And there is a stream of anger burning in the eyes of Makino Zhongjing next to him. However, he is much more rational than the Japanese who let the monk Chen fall on the deck and has been dragged away for treatment. His proud Osaka city representative doesn't want to touch himself. If he really wants to be humiliated like that, he is afraid that he can only apologize for his sins. I can be relieved.
There are more smiles on the face of the Ryukyu minister. General Shangguo, although I, Ryukyu, am a small country, have been a vassal of the Chinese summer dynasty for a long time. Although I have not been able to learn the customs of the heavenly dynasty, I also know the courtesy of benevolence and virtue. Therefore, this 12,000-25 million yuan, the little minister is willing to deduct the little bit of 250,000 yuan, as long as they can compensate our country for the 12,000 yuan, then Our country can forgive them for all kinds of crimes they committed before me in Ryukyu.
Papa... Master Liang, who was talking about a huge cigar, applauded with great admiration. Look, you Japanese take a good look. This minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom is indeed generous enough to reduce your compensation of 250,000 taels of gold. In my general's opinion, he has indeed achieved leniency and virtue, which is a model for the vassals of the world. You should learn more from such a humble and respectful surname.
"General of Shangguo, you are clearly unreasonable. Why do I have to compensate for so much gold and silver in Ryukyu? This has nothing to do with our general's family. Osaka Castle, Makino, tilted his mouth and couldn't help it anymore.
"Unreasonable trouble?" Liang Peng flew over his head, and his knife-like eyes pricked these Japanese to look away. Even after Muye Zhongjing, who made his anger a little dizzy, shave his knife-like eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and regained his sober.
"General of the Shangguo, this matter really has nothing to do with our shogunate. It is the Satsuma clan's own decision. Please don't criticize our shogunate too much." Nobuaki Matsudaira quickly took over the words and replied. He was afraid that Makino Zhongjing would say something uneasy again.
"I said that Mr. Matsudaira, what you said is a little unorthodox. Is this Satsuma Domain under the jurisdiction of your shogunate?" Liang Pengfei withdrew his sight and spit out a smoke ring. His eyes flickered behind the smoke, like a dragon lying on its head between the magma of the mountain fire and the smoke of gunpowder. If it is under your jurisdiction, then this compensation is naturally from you. If not, then I will go to the Satsuma Domain for Ryukyu. This is both cruel and amazing.
Matsudaira Nobuaki took a deep breath and bowed to the ground again: "General of Shangguo, it is not that Matsudaira refused to agree to the general, but that this matter is too big to involve. We can't make the decision. We need to submit it to His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision. Therefore, I hope that the General can treat our country and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision. After the decision is made, we will go to the upper country and return to the disposal of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Isn't everything in your country ruled by the shogunate? When will the emperor be able to get into political affairs? I said Songping Middle School, what you said is too innotic, isn't it? Liang Peng flew to the front of Songping Nobuaki and squatted down, looking at the middle-aged and old man with a blank Mediterranean hairstyle in the middle of his head. In addition, let me tell you one thing. This time, I have been granted the power to deal with this matter with full authority, so you don't have to go to Yanjing. Just finish it with me directly here.
"General of the Shangguo, although His Majesty the Emperor is the general, the emperor is the supreme monarch of our country. I can only ask him to make a decision on such a major event." Matsudaira Nobuaki knew that no matter how he answered this matter, he would be unlucky, so he could only push it on the emperor.
--------------------
"Since you have said so, it's not right for me to force you again. OK, let's put this matter aside for the time being. Let's wait until we finish talking about that treaty. Now what I want to ask you is, are you willing to sign that treaty?" Liang Pengfei's sudden understanding made Songping Xinming react for a long time.
After a long hesitation, Matsudaira Nobuaki gritted his teeth. Our country should have agreed to the promise given by the last country, but the general can't completely make the decision for the emperor, so..."
"Stop! You mean that the treaty also needs to be signed by your Majesty the Emperor, right? Liang Pengfei laughed, but the laughter was so gloomy that it made people feel cold. So you mean that the shogunate has returned to your emperor?
"There are some provisions that our shogunate can agree on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor." Nobuaki Matsudaira still did not dare to answer Liang Pengfei's question directly.
"Is Kyoto far from Edo?" Liang Pengfei asked again without a head.
"This... fast horse will take at least four days." Nobuaki Matsudaira replied subconsciously.
"Well, I'll give you twelve days. After twelve days, you'd better give your emperor's reply to me. If I can't get the treaty signed by your emperor or your general, then don't blame me for burning Edo to the ground." Liang Pengfei stretched out his hand and patted Matsudaira Nobuaki on the shoulder. He smiled extraordinarily friendly, but in the eyes of these Japanese, it was a little more terrible than the evil ghost.
Hearing Liang Pengfei's threat, Songping Xinming couldn't help distinguishing when he saw the blood-eating and danger behind his smile: "General of Shangguo, how can you make a decision hastily if it is related to the safety of the country?"
"How long did you say that? Songping middle-aged man, maybe you don't know. I'm not very patient, and I'm relatively frizzy when I start doing things. In case it takes too long, or one day I'm in a bad mood, maybe I will open two shots to the Edo to vent the bitterness that has been on the sea for a long time. At that time..."
"Three months." Songping Xinming originally wanted to say it for half a year, but when he heard Liang Pengfei's words, he shortened half of his life. However, Liang Pengfei only stretched out one to him, no, two fingers: "Twenty days, this is my deadline for you. Don't bargain with me anymore. I hate others to chat with me the most. Remember, in 20 days, if the person who can make the decision doesn't show up here, my promise just now will be fulfilled.
