In order to avoid the Maori family's wavering, he had previously concealed the number of Han troops and the number of troops that were about to be sent to the north. However, when the entire army marched towards Kyoto, even if the other party discovered it, it was too late.

Following the pace of the Han Dynasty, they had already raised the anti-bank and formally opposed the shogunate, so there was no way to go back.

Mori Hideyu's face froze for a moment, then quickly stretched out again, and even felt a hint of joy.

Although Zhou Pu's words just now obviously made some ridicule and contempt for him, he didn't care about so much now. Instead, he was glad that the Han army was deployed so that he did not have to bear the greatest responsibility and risks.

If the great man relied on the sea power to go straight to Kanto and the shogunate to fight to the shogunate, the shogunate would do his best to assemble troops to fight to the great man to defend his old nest and the capital where he started his own business—and this means that they are in Kyoto.

Defence will definitely not do your best, and the resistance you have to face will not be particularly powerful.

This is of course excellent news for him.

Not only him, but even the vassal ministers behind him had a look of relief. When they heard that the Han Dynasty had only sent a thousand troops to join them in Kyoto, they were shocked. Now the worries have finally been resolved.

.

Although I don’t know how the Han Dynasty will fight the shogunate in a decisive battle, for the Maori family, who only want to restore the old family territory and do not want to dominate the world, as long as the Western Kingdom is tied, the shogunate in the East Kingdom is unable to fight, so other things

They don't have to worry about things anymore.

"Sir, in order to welcome you and the heavenly soldiers, we have prepared our residences and meals in the vassal state, but the vassal state is simple, please don't mind." Because I was in a good mood, Mori Hide's face was filled with smiles,"

Please go to the vassal city with me."

However, Zhou Pu did not agree. Instead, he walked to the side of someone next to Maori Shui?

"Mr. Youfu, I haven't seen you for many days. How can you be fine?"

He just discovered that he was in Yasuo Nijo among this group of people. Because he had had some contacts with Yasuo Nijo before and had a good impression of him, Zhou Pu decided to say hello to him first, or at least he also had a Japanese court.

people make a connection.

When Nijo Yasudao heard that the Maori family agreed to the conditions of the Han Dynasty to surrender as soon as possible and was preparing to welcome the envoys of the Fengtian Dynasty, he took the initiative to join the ranks of the welcoming envoys. Because he was quite a bit guilty of him, Maori Hide

He directly agreed to this request and brought him to Xiaguan.

He also greeted Zhou Pu with the vassal ministers, and mixed in the crowd with inconspicuous people. However, he was quite anxious and wanted to talk to Zhou Pu. He had already planned to speak on his own initiative.

He also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the envoy walking towards him.

"External minister Nijo Yasudao, I have seen an angel." Nijo Yasudao, who had already stood up, bowed to Zhou Pu, "The angel keeps his promises, and he is grateful to the country for his bad luck!"

Because of the current situation, Katsura Nijo was particularly respectful to Zhou Pu, and he had already regarded himself as a minister of the vassal state in his words.

"It is my decision to send troops to your country. I dare not take credit for it." Zhou Pu just nodded calmly to him, quite satisfied with his attitude. "It is not convenient to talk more here, we are going to do it now.

Once you enter the vassal state, let’s go with me, right?”

"Thank you!" Nijo Yasudao was happy again and quickly agreed.

After Zhou Pu ordered his departure, the Maori people and vassal troops on the beach, as well as the Han army, marched into the Changzhou vassal territory. The Changzhou vassal troops were arranged on both sides, while the Han army landed on the landings took action

The army was walking in the middle with a high spirit, and compared with those vassal troops, they looked even more heroic.

Because this is the first time that the envoy of the Han Dynasty has set foot on Honshu Island, the Maori family also feels that it is of great significance. In addition, they hope to please Zhou Pu and make up for the impact of their previous actions on everyone, so they made it very grandly, not only

All the people of the Maori family were dispatched, and even the generals under the Maori family were present, in addition to guarding against the Asano family and the shogunate's army attacks on the northern border.

Their painstaking arrangements have achieved the results they deserve. At least in their opinion, the Han angels had a good chat with the vassal lord without compromising the past, and did not take back the promise to restore the 1.2 million old territory of the Maori family.

The meaning is that as for the title of Taizheng Minister, I think the Han Dynasty would not care about it.

With that feeling of relief, these Maori upper class figures rode horses around Zhou Pu and went to the vassal city with him, but they wisely kept a distance because the envoy of the Han Dynasty was following the right minister Yasuhiro Nijo

discuss.

Because he was worried that Zhou Pu was worried about the court's behavior, Kazudao Nijo was still worried. However, after chatting and laughing with Zhou Pu for a while, he felt much more relieved. The envoy did not pursue them.

The meaning of the word is to deliberately appease him.

"I had said goodbye in Kyoto before and agreed to see you next day, but at that time I knew the road ahead was difficult and dared not take a chance. Instead, I made up my mind to die." In the rushing summer wind, Master Katsura Nijo sighed.

"After finally, everything went smoothly. His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor successfully separated, and I saved my life... I now want to thank the angels for His Majesty the Emperor and the court of the bad country."

"Your country has been in a thousand years, and it is protected by our ancestors. The king of your country is auspicious and heavenly figures, so naturally he will not be deceived by some sluts." Zhou Pu answered quite politely, but it seems that a needle is hidden in the cotton, "But... the Right Mansion...

Sir, you must have explained the conditions we had agreed on before to the king of your country clearly? I wonder what he thought?"

This question hit the nail on the head, which made Yasudao Nijo's excitement gradually disappear.

This envoy of the Han Dynasty also used this kind of unpolite question and secretly reminded him that it was out of place to mention the titles of "Dharma Emperor" and "Emperor".

Being criticized in person in person is of course like a cold water pouring on the head. Lost and depression are inevitable, but he also knows that at this time, there is no way to turn back, and some humiliation is nothing.

After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, and then replied quite respectfully, "Mr. Qi, the king of the country has learned about the agreement established by the Lord Zuofu and I discussed with you, and he is also grateful to me.

***The kindness of supporting the country is felt that it should be rewarded in this way, so it did not raise any objections. So as long as the court returns to Kyoto, from now on, Japan will become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, forever

Don't move!"

He also knew that it was inappropriate to say the word "monarch" again, so he took the initiative to describe the Emperor of Dharma. As for what he never moved forever, of course it was just a matter of his words to please the envoys of the Han Dynasty. Neither he nor the Zuofu or the Emperor of Dharma, he did not have it.

They plan to make their descendants rely on the breath of the great man as they are now. They plan to first abide by reality and accumulate strength. As long as the time is right, they will re-establish their own name and re-use the emperor's name to rule the kingdom of God.

"It is a blessing for your country to be so conscious of the general principles!" Seeing that the 'Father Emperor' was so obedient, Zhou Pu's smile became more and more easy-going, "In this way, our two countries can clarify their relationship for generations to come.

The minister of the generation is at peace and prosperity, your country is just around the corner! Please rest assured, my country has always kept its promises to your country, and the promises to you will never change. As long as your country's court continues to surrender to our country later, your country's court will definitely be here

Restore the authority of that year within the jurisdiction.”

Although this seems very exciting, the restrictions within the jurisdiction still show that the main policy of the Han Dynasty was to maintain the previous status quo and allow the vassal lords from all over the country to continue to rule their own jurisdiction, rather than establishing the imperial court's directness toward the entire country.

Tong. Yasuo Nijo is well aware of the Han Dynasty's policies and does not have much expectations, but he is still a little disappointed.

However, he still put aside this disappointment and tentatively tentatively the envoy of the Han Dynasty again, "From the Maori lord, he heard that the angel had reached an agreement with the Maori family to restore the territory of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era,

Is it right?"

"This is the case." Zhou Pu immediately responded. "The Maori family is familiar with the situation in the Western Kingdom, and there are many generals and soldiers in the family for many generations. They can serve as a great help for us, so it is appropriate to give some rewards-

Could it be that Lord Youfu has any opinions on this?"

"Of course not. I think this arrangement is very suitable. In fact, the court originally wanted to reward the Maori family like this." Yasuda Nijo hurriedly said.

He had no objection to this. Since the Western Kingdom was not under the rule of the court, it would not matter to them under whom it was. Besides, the court had planned so that he really cared about another issue.

"In addition, in addition to confirming the territory, because of the merits of the Maori family, the court also planned to give additional rewards to the Maori family, so that the Maori vassal lord would be the Taizheng minister of the court... How dare you ask the angels what their opinions are on this?"

The court had made this promise to the Maori family before, but later the Han Dynasty seemed to be very angry with the Maori family, so Yasudao Nijo had to inquire about the opinions of the Han court now, so as not to cause trouble for himself and anger the Han Dynasty in vain.

Of course he would not know that he had inadvertently created a precedent for the Han Dynasty to inquire about the official position and reward of the Japanese court.

"The Maori family worked hard and made great contributions. It is understandable that the court of your country wants to reward you. Moreover, the official position of your country is awarded by your country's court. If you want to give him any official position, it is your freedom. But..." Zhou Pu first laid the groundwork

After a while, he expressed his opinion, "If your country arranges this way, it will probably be a too high reward, right? I'm afraid it will make other vassal lords feel disappointed... For example, the Shimazu clan may be indignant.

After all, there are some conflicts between Shimazu and Maori families that have accumulated over the ages."

Yasudao Nijo was slightly stunned. Obviously he didn't expect Zhou Pu to make such an opinion. He knew the conflict between the two families, but why could the Shimazu family interfere with the decisions and appointments of the court?

"Oh, there is something I haven't informed of the Lord Youfu yet." Zhou Pu smiled slightly, then pulled his horse to Yasudao Nijo, "I came to Kyushu before, and was the first to respond to my call and prepare to raise an army to oppose the Shogunate.

The Shimazu family was the Shimazu family. In order to reward the Shimazu family and to encourage the names to rise up and resist the shogunate, the Han court decided to give them a heavy reward... Well, after the war, the entire island of Kyushu Island was enfeoffed to the Shimazu family."

"What?!" When he heard that the great man had made such a decision, Yasudao Nijo was indeed shocked, "This...is... this... is it actually going to enfeoff Kyushu to the Shimazu family?"

"Yes, this is the decision of the court, and it has been announced to all the names of Jiuzhou. I have to say that this effect is still very good. Now all the names of Jiuzhou are ready to make contributions in the subsequent wars and to be the first family.

Get rewards." Zhou Pu's face still had a calm smile, "This matter is of great importance. Please ask the Lord of the Right Palace to persuade your court as soon as possible and issue an edict to confirm it, so as not to be cold from the Shimazu family

Heart, that's not good..."

Zhou Pu's tone was very ordinary, as if it was just a trivial matter, just a casual speech, but to Nijo Yasudao, it was nothing more than a thunder.

His blood seemed to have solidified, his hands were shaking slightly, and his heart was extremely angry. The man had promised to restore his old lord to the Maori family, and was already interfering in Japan's resettlement, but that coincided with the imperial court's intention.

It was still tolerant; but now, it suddenly proposed that they had reached an agreement with the Shimazu family and had handed over the entire Kyushu Island!

The Han Dynasty had no notice in advance, but now he informed him directly. Obviously, the court wanted to abide by this transaction and issued an edict to confirm the Shimazu family's rule on Kyushu Island. He even made no comments on it - he was arrogant and domineering.

.

Because the news was too sudden, Nijo Katsudao was unprepared in advance, and now he was even more dry and didn't know what to do.

"Master Youfu, are you a little embarrassed?" Zhou Pu waited for a while and asked the other party again, "If Master Youfu thinks that this appointment is of great importance and it is difficult to make a hasty decision, our Han court can give it to you first.

The Satsuma lord gave rewards, which made it easier for your court to act…”

"No, it's still not necessary!" As Zhou Pu expected, Katsura Nijo immediately expressed his objection.

Although he is in a mess now, he also knows that he must not confirm the status quo by the Han Dynasty's court directly granting the Shimazu family Kyushu Island. Otherwise, it will be difficult whether the Shimazu family and even Kyushu Island will be considered Japanese in the future.

Expected.

"What did Lord Youfu think?" Zhou Pu was also very calm and did not insist. He just wanted to scare the other party and let them make a decision as soon as possible.

He knew that his conditions were very harsh, but he knew even more that since he had already boarded the ship of the Han Dynasty, they would have no chance even if they wanted to get off the ship. The more harsh conditions were still to come.

After a moment of hesitation, Yasudao Nijo has recovered from the initial impact and has also recovered a little bit of sanity.

He had already seen clearly that since the great man had made such a promise, then Kyushu Island became the territory of the Shimazu family, which was a fait accompli. Even if he opposed it, it would be meaningless. I am afraid that it would only attract the great man and the Shimazu family.

It's just a rift.
