Chapter 671: The mortal bond is broken, and the golden sea is done
"Okay, the matter of sequestering the country is not on the agenda. Let's stop this topic. Let's go back to the land inspection law proposed by Guan Bai." Xu Wei said as The purpose of the host of the negotiations is to solve the food crisis and not interfere with the mining and outflow of silver, the outflow of Japanese slaves and wandering girls. This is the meaning of the existence of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace.
The elimination of the Japanese is very important, and the inflow of silver is also very important.
"The governor came from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty began to clear the land and clarify the cadastral in the third year of Wanli. With the power of the Celestial Kingdom, it still took nearly ten years to complete the clearing. The current situation of the Japanese country requires the use of How long? How long will it take?" Maori Huiyuan first expressed his attitude.
The land inspection law is very good. It is a very fundamental way to solve the Japanese state. Aren't all reforms, reforms, reforms, and innovations focused on redistributing the means of production and making a fuss about it?
How can this world become better? In fact, history has already given the answer.
Not all the great names of the Japanese country are drunkards. They know these very well. If Mouri Terumoto had not had some foresight, he would not have been able to fight with Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu for so many years.
Everyone knows the truth, especially when the results of Ming Dynasty's Great Speculation have begun to radiate outwards, but when you really want to do it, you will find that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Correction, the Ming Dynasty has not completed the Qing Dynasty. In Guizhou, Yunnan, Suiyuan, Liaodong, and some areas of Guangxi, the Qing Dynasty has not been completed. There are also overseas governor's offices, except for Luzon. , and it was not carried out." Xu Wei corrected Mao Lihuiyuan's statement that the Ming Dynasty only completed Qingzhang in the hinterland.
This is the characterization of Qingzhang by the emperor and Yuanfu. The new policy of Qingzhang was not completely successful, and the struggle continued.
"So the Maori family has agreed to the land seizure?" Oda Nobunaga asked solemnly. After he proposed the land seizure law, Maori Terumoto did not express any clear-cut opposition at all.
"The Ming Dynasty has not completely completed the clearing of the land, nor has it returned the land." Mouri Terumoto shook his head and said: "Oda Nobunaga, your idea is good, but you want to do things too much, your intention You are too strong-willed. Do you really think that you, Oda Nobunaga, can make the Japanese country clear and clear? Let alone one, ten or eight, it is absolutely impossible."
"The Ming Dynasty can do it. Qingzhang, Japan cannot inspect the land."
Oda Nobunaga's face turned red and he said sternly: "Why can't we do it! Why can't we?"
Mouri Huiyuan was silent for a long time. He opened his mouth and said: "Let me ask you, the land law is just a unified weight and measure. What standards do you use to determine the rich, medium and poor fields? How many are there in a town?"
The land unit of the Japanese country is Town, but the exact number of a town is always an approximation. There are 3,600 steps (60 steps × 60 steps), 3,000 steps, and 1,200 steps. The reason why they are different is because of the taxes collected by major celebrities. The difference is related.
Make the towns smaller and collect taxes on a town-by-town basis. It may not seem like much in name, but in fact it is a heavy tax that breaks the bones and sucks the marrow.
"The Ming Dynasty has ready-made standards! Although the hydrology and geography are slightly different, the land is classified based on yield. The Ming Dynasty has done this for more than two hundred years, why can't we?" Oda Nobunaga immediately spoke said.
“Okay, we copied it from the Ming Dynasty, so where did the Qingzhang tools come from? In the Ming Dynasty, there was a measuring cart invented by Cheng Dawei and improved by the Royal Academy of Geosciences. The Ming Dynasty made hundreds of thousands of measuring carts. Send it to various places, we can't make it." Mori Terumoto did not refute Oda Nobunaga, but agreed, and then raised his own doubts.
To oppose a person's political views, you need to agree with him first, hold him high, and then throw him to death.
Xu Wei glanced at Maori Huiyuan. This person paid special attention to the Ming Dynasty and knew a lot about the measuring carriage and the Royal Gemmon Academy.
In fact, Mouri Terumoto just likes to read the "Gokumon Newspaper" of the Royal Gakuin Academy. He is fascinated by the technological progress of the Ming Dynasty, but he does not have enough craftsmen to promote technological progress, so he can only go to Linyuan Xianyu. .
"Of course, you can buy it from the Ming Dynasty. We can't build it ourselves. The Ming Dynasty can do it, and we can buy it." Oda Nobunaga frowned, and he suddenly realized what Mouri Terumoto was talking about.
"Okay, let's not mention whether Daming is willing to teach or sell, let's just talk about one thing." Mouri Terumoto looked at Oda Nobunaga and asked: "Who will do it? Who will do it? To solve this problem, we need to break it down. When you are in Kyoto, you must first have someone to supervise this matter. Who will supervise it?” The standards belong to Ming Dynasty, and the tools belong to Ming Dynasty. Why should Ming Dynasty teach you? Why should I sell you? Once the land inspection is really completed, who should own these field records?
"Ishida Mitsunari is interested in taking charge of this matter." Oda Nobunaga answered Mouri Terumoto's inquiry. He has already found the person to supervise the matter. Ishida Mitsunari is a very smart person and very capable. , according to the standards of the Ming Dynasty, he is a Xunli.
"Ishida Mitsunari is Hideyoshi's person, not yours. I hope you can understand what I'm talking about. The Japanese country is not the Ming Dynasty." Mouri Terumoto raised his eyebrows and immediately choked.
The meaning of his words is: The Ming Dynasty is a county-based monarchy, while the Japanese state is a feudal monarchy. These are two completely different political structures. They both look like feudal systems, but they are completely different in nature.
"This..." Oda Nobunaga was a little misfired. Of course he could understand what Mouri Terumoto meant.
The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. This is the fundamental reason for the prevalence of "lower and higher" in the Japanese country.
"Okay, let's not talk about who Ishida Mitsunari belongs to for the time being. This is a thorny issue. Let's just pretend that everyone under you, Oda Nobunaga, is united. Although we all know that is impossible, we have a more important question. It needs to be solved." Maoli Huiyuan continued: "The Qingzhang of the Ming Dynasty was accomplished by officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty."
"Do you have so many officials sent to various places? At the very least, officials must have read books, be able to do arithmetic, and be able to calculate accounts clearly. Lands are not neat and tidy. In addition, these officials must make decisions, decide on land deeds, decide ownership, and decide cases and lawsuits. , you have so many capable officials, I will surrender without any hesitation, even if you kill me, I will praise you for your wisdom."
"Do you have any?"< br>
Is it true that Zhang Juzheng patted his thigh, said he wanted to do it, and then carried out such high-level state affairs decrees as Qingzhang?
Don’t always think that if Ming Dynasty did it, I can do it too. If everything in the world were so simple, there would not be only one heaven in the world.
"The Ming Dynasty has it." Oda Nobunaga said quite honestly. From the day he first conceived the system, he had completely set his sights on the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to implement the land inspection law, but he couldn't do it himself. Let the Nagasaki Governor's Office come.
"You rely on Ming for everything. If you want to rely on him, will Ming be willing to help you?!" Maori Huiyuan stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves and said in a sneer.
How about you, Oda Nobunaga, the Azuchi Shogun, go to the capital to reunite with Ashikaga Yoshiaki! They are all shoguns anyway.
"You really invited the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers and generals. Can you keep it? Those famous names hold swords in their hands! I can promise you to cooperate with your land inspection method. I can even provide protection for officials from the Ming Dynasty, but what about the others?" Maori Huiyuan slammed his hands on the table and asked loudly.
“So, it’s just for you to realize your own ambition. You have never thought about how to realize it!”
"You are the elder Jinchi in Journey to the West. You don't want to become a Buddha at all. You just want to put on the brocade cassock. The promulgation is just a promulgation. Ambition? Just ambition."
Mao Li Huiyuan said After that, he sat down and finished his speech. He agreed with the land seizure law, but he was not optimistic about its success. He would not destroy it, and would even support its implementation, but he believed that the land seizure law was nothing more than a piece of paper in the end.
In Mouri Terumoto’s view, Oda Nobunaga was just doing it for his own reputation.
Monks believe that when the earthly connection is severed, the golden sea will dry up. But for Elder Jinchi, if I don’t put on the brocade cassock, how will all sentient beings know that my earthly connection has been severed and the golden sea will dry up.
Oda Nobunaga was silent for a long time before he said: "You have a strong mouth. If you have the ability, you can beat me, huh."
Mouri Terumoto was choked hard, Oda Nobunaga may not be very good at internal affairs. Many of his government orders are just slapped on the head and implemented. Sometimes they seem to have no beginning or end, and the results are often unsuccessful. But he is really good at fighting. No one has this. deny.
"A spanking is of no use." Maori Terumoto said harshly without much rebuttal.
"Daming will not provide much help. It can help you improve the system and sell you measuring scooters. As for more, it is better not to be too greedy." Xu Wei made a statement.
Improvement of the system can be taught, but the Ming Dynasty will not care about whether it is learned or not. Measuring carts can also be sold, but the rest must be done by the Japanese country themselves.
The Japanese country is not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is a vassal state, the Ming Dynasty has no obligation to help them complete the land inspection.
"We should do this in some areas, such as Iwami Ginzan, Ikuno Ginzan, Sado Gold Mine and other places, to fully ensure the supply of local food, and to prevent the common people from interfering with silver mining." Xu Wei gave his own opinion , for the Japanese, silver mining is also an extremely important thing.
Without silver, various goods from the Ming Dynasty would not be available.
The Japanese state comprehensively inspected the land. The problem was not that Ming Dynasty was unwilling to help, but that it couldn't do it. Let alone coming to a place like Japan, even in Suiyuan, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave some generous conditions, but there were only a few Scholars are willing to go.
In the eyes of scholars, barbarians are not even human beings in barren mountains and rivers, and they are unwilling to work in these places no matter what.
So, the final consensus reached during this negotiation was that land inspections should be carried out in some special areas. Before the land inspections are completed, food supply should be ensured to prevent the occurrence of old incidents such as the suspension of silver mines due to the common people's indignation.
"Then let's talk about the issue of compensation now." Xu Wei started the second topic of the negotiation, some compensation issues from Japan to the Ming Dynasty.
Mouri Terumoto was caught by the Ming Dynasty for plotting to water and fertilize the Ming Dynasty. He paid compensation as promised, while Oda Nobunaga had to pay 15 million silver to support the military brigade. In the first year, he had to pay three Millions of silver, followed by a forty-year rollover.
This set of 4% annual interest rates invented by the Ming Emperor and rolled over forty years was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, emptying out everything of the Japanese country bit by bit.
Portugal also had a so-called low interest rate extension for thirty years, but Ming Dynasty did not exploit Portugal by all means, and even shared part of the benefits.
To deal with a country that has completed the construction of a dynasty, we must use this method to clean out all its flesh and blood bit by bit in order to completely eliminate it. This is a long process, the Japanese country It is an island country with eight million inhabitants and a natural moat in the ocean. To completely eliminate it, we need to use all means at all costs.
Terumoto Mori did not have enough silver to compensate the Ming Dynasty, and neither did Nobunaga Oda.
Mouri Terumoto and Oda Nobunaga did not have enough silver to pay compensation. The Ming Dynasty knew this clearly. The silver that the entire Japanese country could mine in a year was only 5 million silver (about 200 tons). Not all of the five million silver is in the hands of Mori Terumoto and Oda Nobunaga, and they also have to distribute it. On the premise of maintaining their own existence, how much can be used to compensate the Ming Dynasty?
Instead of compensating silver, you can compensate for other things, such as castrated Japanese slaves, wandering girls, sulfur, fish oil, etc. These are all goods that the Ming Dynasty needs. "Is it possible to borrow some treasure banknotes?" Oda Nobunaga proposed a way to borrow treasure banknotes from the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, and then use the treasure banknotes to peel off the money to complete the compensation to the Ming Dynasty.
"You can borrow treasure notes, but you have to pay back the silver." Xu Wei was so compassionate that he did not ask for interest. He was kind-hearted and did not add interest on top of the face value of the treasure notes.
Just borrow a regular treasure banknote and pay back one tael of silver. You can have as much treasure banknote as you want.
"This is the only way." Maori Huiyuan thought for a moment, and finally agreed. He could only do this, and tried his best to find the three million taels of silver from Xiazhuo, or wait for If the price of goods is high, then the Nagasaki Governor's Office will stand on Oda Nobunaga's side from the perspective of strength.
Semi-colonial and semi-feudalism is the most cruel system, because the survival of the feudal lord no longer requires the support of his own people, and only needs to look at the faces of outsiders. This is the cruelty of it. For the sake of its own survival, any Anyone under oneself can be the target of 朜眜. There is no need to distribute interests and unite. Retainers, samurai, ashigaru, and common people can all be 朜昜.
The kind-hearted Governor-General of Nagasaki has never issued banknotes indiscriminately. It issues banknotes based on the silver that flows into the Ming Dynasty every year. The fluctuation is less than 3%, and in terms of face value, most of them are hundreds of coins. The following small amounts, rather than the usual large bills, this kind behavior is for the sake of sustainable fishing, and a steady stream of Japanese silver, which objectively promotes the development of Japanese commerce.
Even if the treasure banknotes are used to compensate for the loan, the total number is still kept within the floating limit to prevent the treasure banknotes from depreciating too quickly.
"Can the Japanese treasure banknotes be exchanged for Ming Dynasty overseas treasure banknotes? Even if it is a newly issued treasure banknote." Oda Nobunaga asked about another possibility. The reason why he thought about the national lockdown was actually out of helplessness , forced to lock down the country.
The Ming Dynasty built a high wall. Physically, it was Tsushima, Jeju Island, Nagasaki Governor's Palace, and Ryukyu Governor's Palace. Economically, it was treasure money. These two reins tied it to On the neck of the Japanese state, the Japanese state can be suffocated at any time.
The treasure banknotes of the Japanese country are special. They do not contain abaca, but are a pile of waste paper. They cannot be directly traded for goods on the sea market. Oda Nobunaga hopes to be allowed to use the Ming Dynasty overseas treasure banknotes. , in this way, the impact of the military blockade on the economy will be very small.
In addition to military blockade and economic blockade, Ming Dynasty also essentially completed a diplomatic blockade against Japan.
The red-haired fan established a diocese in Nagasaki, and even the daimyo of Kyushu wanted to send envoys to the West. In addition, Oda Nobunaga also supported missionaries, and he also had a king in the style of the West. Cloak, but the Nagasaki diocese was captured by Xu Wei and Li Chengli, and the merchant ships from Taixi had not arrived for several years. At most, they reached Nagasaki, and the missionaries were also leaving one after another.
Politics, military, diplomacy, and culture were all controlled by the Ming Dynasty, so that was all. However, this treasure also turned Japan into an isolated island in the world, leaving Oda Nobunaga helpless.
“This is extraordinarily generous. They all use those common treasure banknotes, which are very common, but the Japanese ones are very special. Things are rare and valuable. The Japanese treasure banknotes are more stable and are not affected by the Ming Dynasty’s decrees. Influence." Xu Wei's ability to tell lies with his eyes open is on the same level as that of the Ming Emperor, and they are both scholars.
The Nagasaki negotiations lasted for a total of three days, and finally reached consensus on a number of specific matters and signed a peace treaty with a total of twelve articles.
In the Nagasaki negotiations, the Mori family and the Azuchi shogunate finally reached peace.
The simplest way to solve the Japanese food crisis is to stop the war. As long as the war stops, the land will be planted. War and chaos will cause the most serious damage to land production, followed by the prosperity of commerce.
Therefore, the main content of the Nagasaki Treaty is about war.
Both sides agreed to maintain the basic status quo on the front, cease war actions, set a three-year armistice period, and resume production; both sides called on all daimyo to stop attacking each other and recuperate; both sides sent messengers to communicate whether there was any need to prevent Misunderstandings and misjudgments have resulted in a larger scale war; jointly eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates to ensure smooth sea routes and smooth passage of merchant ships; both parties agree to restrain their samurai from entering towns and not going to the countryside at will;
These five items are Regarding the military, the ceasefire does not mean that small-scale conflicts will not continue. It is important to maintain necessary communication channels and prevent strategic misjudgments. Cleaning up pirates and restraining samurai are also to alleviate the food crisis.
As for the economic aspect:
The pilot of the Seizure Law was carried out in Ginzan, the Maori family carried out the pilot in Iwami Ginzan, and Oda Nobunaga launched the pilot in Ikuno Ginzan;
Both parties will strive to ensure the orderly progress of silver mining, and at the same time impose stricter restrictions on the entry and exit of the mine;
Allocate part of the emergency grain and grass to supply the mine;
The Ming Dynasty provided a loan of up to two million guan, without interest, to provide part of the funds for the Anding Mine;
The Maori family opened Hiroshima Castle (Carp Castle), and the Oda family opened Osaka Port and Yokohama Port. For the passage of merchant ships;
Give passing ships necessary food, water and firewood at open ports.
There are twelve articles in total, and the last one is the most interesting, which is the negotiation decision: to fully implement the ban on Christianity, to completely expel the Western missionaries who came to Japan, and to prohibit the spread of the Western Church in Japan.
This was not in the plan and was an unexpected decision.
When Oda Nobunaga and Mouri Terumoto met, they checked their accounts and found that many things were not done by themselves, but in the end, the shit basin was placed on their heads, and someone was in the middle to cause trouble. After careful investigation, I found out that it was the missionaries in Taixi who were responsible!
These people, led by the missionary Alkazowa, did many bad things, and even secretly stirred up trouble among the people. The conflict had not yet intensified to the point of a stir, but these missionaries made noise and stirred up people's hearts. Thinking about it makes people panic.
Those who do bad things first exclude the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has its own high moral disadvantages. The Ming Dynasty’s malice towards the Japanese country is all obvious, and the methods are vigorous and resolute. It is also clear that it wants to retaliate. They don't bother to play these dirty tricks at all, and these missionaries take advantage of the characteristic of religion to unite people's hearts to carry out activities.
Under this situation, Oda Nobunaga and Mori Terumoto decided to ban Christianity, expel missionaries, and not allow any missionaries to preach.
“It must be said that the Ming Dynasty was really foresighted. Starting from the first year of Wanli, all forms of missionary work were banned. Any missionary arriving in the Ming Dynasty would be tightly confined to prevent disaster.” Oda Nobunaga stood on the dock and said to Xu Wei sincerely.
The Ming Dynasty made many decisions that seemed extremely conservative, but they can definitely stand the test of time.
"Your Majesty is naturally wise. Before the ministers were aware of this danger, Your Majesty had already requested Luo Gongchen, the coastal defense commander, to ban missionaries from preaching."
"You guys. The two of you signed the peace treaty and used your seals. If we start fighting on the sea of Nagasaki right after we leave the house, that would not be a breach of the treaty, but a failure to give face to the Ming Dynasty. We must pay attention to the fulfillment of the peace treaty." Xu Wei once again warned this group of Japanese who like to go back on their word. If they start fighting when they go out, it will not be a problem of breaking the promise.
Behind closed doors, Ming Dynasty has no control over how you want to go back on your words and go back on your words. However, since the Nagasaki Peace Treaty was signed with Ming Dynasty as the intermediary, guarantor and witness, Ming Dynasty will supervise and supervise the peace treaty. fulfill.
I don’t know how Chen Sheng believed Maori Huiyuan’s promise of three million silver? Chen Sheng really brought the craft of water and fertilizer to Japan, and Maori Huiyuan would kill all the insiders without leaving any further trouble.
It is better to believe that the Japanese will keep their promises than to believe that the old sow can climb the tree. Fanyi, who is fearful of power and unethical, has no idea what a promise is.
Kamiya Shouzhen discovered Iwami Ginzan. Zongdan and Guishou obtained the soot blowing method to smelt silver from Fujian in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the end, Iwami Ginzan was not owned by Kamiya Shouzhen but belonged to the daimyo. them.
This group of insects in the Japanese country is so outrageous that even Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, Li Chengli, and Luo Yinghe, who went to the Japanese country to destroy the Japanese, can no longer stand it.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty stayed in Mizhou for about three days and started to go south again. After there was no Chi Road, there was only the official road. The road became bumpy and even the speed of travel slowed down a lot. , from seventy or eighty miles a day before, to less than fifty miles a day.
It was not until the end of February that Zhu Yijun reached Yizhou City (now Linyi) at the foot of Yimeng Mountain. He took this route because he wanted to go to Xuzhou.
Yizhou is affiliated to Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province. Yizhou governs Tancheng and Feixian counties.
"I heard that there was a quarrel with Lao Mao in Yizhou recently?" Zhu Yijun stayed at the palace in Yizhou, Yancheng Tower, which is affiliated with Huangzhuang.
In the nearly one month of his southern tour, the Ming Emperor did not encounter a single fire, not once.
Lao Mao Jianzi is a Shandong dialect. It is not a green-faced, fanged spirit that likes to hang away crying children, but a wild wolf. Because its hair is messy and its eyes glow yellow-green at night, it is particularly scary, so the locals Coax the child to sleep, but if he doesn't sleep, let old Mao Jianzi take the crying child away.
There is a wolf plague at the foot of Yimeng Mountain.
Wang Yi'e quickly bowed his head and said: "I am guilty."
"Forgive me. If there is such a thing, we will set up an inspection department in Taierzhuang on the canal. We already have this aspect. "It just solves the problem of wolves." Zhu Yijun said about his handling method.
Taierzhuang is one of the two most important docks on the Shandong section of the canal, the other is Linqing.
Taierzhuang itself is a battleground for military strategists. If Xuzhou is the gateway to Nanya, then Taierzhuang is the gateway to Xuzhou. It is very prosperous here, and it is necessary to set up an inspection department. In addition to arresting theft and catching thieves, In addition, the archers of the Inspection Department also need to hunt wild animals and stabilize the place.
Zhu Yijun has received the memorial from the Nagasaki Governor's Office through coastal defense inspection. After briefly reading it, he could only shake his head. Xu Wei is not a fighter, but he is good at resolving fights. The situation in Japan is due to the long history of Japan. Qi's intervention achieves a state of balance.
This seems to be a good thing for the Japanese country, but it is more of a bad thing. Oda Nobunaga is still there, and the Maori family is still there. This is the biggest bad thing for the Japanese people.
When Pang Xian was treating He Liu, he said to the emperor: Quack doctors harm people, and the medicines they prescribe are all right, but if the rotten flesh is not removed and new flesh is not produced, how can they be cured? That's why the recovery has been delayed for so long.
The principles of treating diseases are sometimes applicable to governing a country.
The Japanese nation needed a major break in order to find a plan acceptable to everyone in the fierce conflicts, achieve a state of reconciliation, and maintain long-term stability. Now, with the strong intervention of the Nagasaki Governor's Office, the two sides have mediated. It seems that It seems that peace has briefly ushered in, but after the food crisis is over, a more tragic war will definitely break out.
This is also true in history. Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Korea twice, but was beaten back by the Ming Dynasty. The war paid a huge price and did not gain any benefits. In the end, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's shogunate fell and was replaced by It was only after Tokugawa Ieyasu ushered in the end of the Warring States Period that things became stable.
Two ferocious jackals were fighting. When they were tired, they took a short rest and recharged their energy, then they would bite even more fiercely.
"Feng Daban, what have you been busy with recently?" Zhu Yijun was a little confused, but he didn't hear anything about Zhu Yili's mischief.
If a child is quiet, he must be acting like a monster.
