Saburo Abe's negotiation team was fine when they arrived, but unfortunately, four people were missing when they left. Those four people were in the mass grave and were so scared that they became incontinent. King Yin Ye was afraid that they would stink his own majesty, so he chopped off their heads directly. As for the remaining two who went crazy, there was one who was castrated.
Zhang Wuji didn't bother to care who that person was, but all the senior officials in Japan recognized him.
That person was Koinutarou, the one who wanted to demonstrate the power of the Great East Japan and argue with the Ming army outside the city last night.
In order to make the powerful and senior officials in Japan realize the situation, Hirohito Koichi made Zhang Wuji a member of the diplomatic mission. Zhang Wuji did not disappoint Hirohito Koichi and even did a very good job.
…
That night, the lights in Amaterasu Hall were on, and the little dog Taro was still lying on the ground, covering the place where he lost his weapon and wailing in pain.
From today on, he is no longer a man.
He hated Zhang Wuji. He had only glanced at his wife, and although he had some dirty thoughts in his mind, he did not say them out loud. And why was Zhang Wuji so cruel and ruthless, not giving him any chance to explain?
Even if he wanted to castrate himself, why didn't he even give him anesthesia? He just cut him in half with a knife. It was too cruel.
After wailing in pain for several times, Koinutarou shouted to Hirohito: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is too brutal. They even castrated me. They, they are simply not human. Your Majesty, please do something for me..."
Hirohito Hongichi waved his hands helplessly: "Throw it onto the street and don't let it get in my way."
Then, two soldiers dragged the puppy out of the Amaterasu Hall and threw it onto the street.
It was a long time after the puppy was dragged out that Hirohito looked at Abe Saburo with a sigh and said, "Mr. Abe, thank you for your hard work. The Ming army was so brutal. It was not easy for you to come back alive."
"Tell me, tell me what the conditions are on the Ming army's side."
Saburo Abe also sighed, but then stated Zhang Wuji's conditions. However, after hearing these conditions, Hirohito Hiroichi jumped up and cursed: "Baka, baka, Zhang Wuji wants to destroy our country and race in Japan. If such conditions can be agreed to, it will be more shameful than directly destroying the country."
As Hirohito Hiroichi cursed, the cabinet ministers present also started cursing. After all, Zhang Wuji's conditions were too harsh, and such conditions were truly unacceptable.
Such conditions not only deprived Hirohito's family of their right to rule Japan, but also threatened to destroy the status accumulated by the Japanese nobles over hundreds of years.
However, since they had already become fish on the chopping board, Zhang Wuji only gave them two rights: one was the right to agree, and the other was the right to refuse. As for bargaining, it was absolutely impossible.
After roaring for a long time, Hirohito gradually calmed down: "My dear ministers, could you please express your opinions?"
After a long time, Saburo Abe said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I was already thinking about this issue when I came back."
"Zhang Wuji said that there is no room for bargaining on the conditions, but I think the conditions can be exchanged."
"Let's exchange the conditions. Five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver. This amount is indeed an astronomical figure, but this is the only condition we can accept."
"In my opinion, let alone 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver, even if it is twice as much, 10 million taels of gold and 100 million taels of silver, we can accept it."
"The worst that can happen is a search and tearing of the heavens and the earth, and at worst, we have to pay off the debt with property. We will give you whatever we have."
"As long as Japan is in our hands, everything will be fine."
The Japanese noble on the side said: "Abe, what you said is nice. You have probably never seen even a thousand taels of gold, and you dare to say that ten million taels is acceptable. It's simply easy for you to talk without any pain."
After hearing this, Saburo Abe suddenly laughed: "One thousand taels of gold? I have seen one thousand taels of gold. What kind of people are our Japanese officials? Even I can be called a corrupt official."
"It's just one thousand taels of gold. I have that at home. In addition, I have several thousand taels of silver."
"We can either give this money to Zhang Wuji voluntarily. If we give it to him voluntarily, we can live in peace and avoid him killing innocent people when he robs the money."
As he spoke, Saburo Abe also glanced at the many Japanese dignitaries present.
"You idiots, do you know what we went through when we negotiated with Zhang Wuji?"
"Zhang Wuji did not meet us directly, but first asked a general to take the entire delegation to a mass grave, where all the Japanese people were buried. Then the Ming general kicked us in without saying a word."
"We stayed in the mass grave for a full quarter of an hour. Under our feet were the corpses of our Japanese civilians. When we stepped on them, we felt disgusted and terrified. Two of us were frightened to death on the spot, and four others became incontinent. The Ming army chopped off the heads of those incontinent people, and then threw their heads and corpses into the mass grave."
"Then there was the incident with Kounutarou, who was castrated alive. After experiencing such a scene, money means nothing."
"If not, we will search the heavens and the earth, and take away the wealth of Japan to please the Ming Dynasty."
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Why don't you go and ask Zhang Wuji during the next negotiation if he can be more kind and ask for less money instead of being so unreasonable."
Abe Saburo's few sarcastic remarks left hundreds of Japanese dignitaries present speechless.
For these Japanese dignitaries, they could do well in giving advice behind the scenes and indulging in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but they could not face the brutal Ming army directly.
…
That night, the Amaterasu Palace was in chaos for a long time. This was the scene that Hirohito Hiroichi had hoped to see. Japan was his, but it also belonged to this group of powerful people. If Zhang Wuji broke into the city, not only Hirohito Hiroichi would die, but everyone present would die as well, including their families. In short, everyone would die.
If you die, you will lose everything, so either you fight the enemy wholeheartedly, or try every possible way to make Zhang Wuji withdraw his troops, and make Zhang Wuji withdraw his troops on the premise of protecting these nobles and preserving Hirohito's right to rule.
As long as they can maintain their right to rule this land, they can pay tribute and become a vassal. If the compensation is not enough, they can use objects or women as collateral. Hirohito can even set an example by sending his concubines away. If the empress can be sold for a good price, the empress can also be sent away.
Of course, if Zhang Wuji still wants to destroy the Japanese nation, then he can only find a way to let Qianye Kong assassinate Zhang Wuji.
