Chapter 1151 Foreign Affairs Yamen

Wang Jingqi lived in Nagasaki for a few days. He traveled around every day. He was happy and could write a poem.

A few days later, he received the news that he transferred from Nagasaki to Edo and moved directly into the new residence prepared for him. Compared to Nagasaki, which had a strong commercial atmosphere, Edo had another look, which made Wang Jingqi very happy. On the second day of his arrival in Edo, he accompanied the shogunate escort to visit Edo, especially several Buddhist temples in Edo, which made him linger and even held a debate with the temple to enjoy it.

On that day, Wang Jingqi had just returned to his residence, and Masato Inoue came to visit. After the two of them made some polite remarks, Masato Inoue told Wang Jingqi that General Tokugawa Ieji had fully entrusted himself with the matters between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and both sides could have a detailed discussion.

Since then, negotiations have officially begun.

However, during the negotiations, Wang Jingqi did not show a keen politician's keen means, and he still had an elegant literary style. However, during the negotiations, Wang Jingqi tried his best to promote the friendship between Ming and Zhong, and cooperate with each other, and develop these together. This was a good thing for Inoue Masato. For this reason, Inoue Masato tentatively negotiated with the result of internal discussions of the shogunate. As expected, although Wang Jingqi was a little unhappy on the surface, he still let go after persuasion.

In this way, the negotiations went very smoothly. In less than three days, the two sides formed a result of the requests put forward by the Ming Dynasty. This result was very beneficial to the shogunate. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also agreed to focus on supporting the shogunate and establish all the factories originally planned to be opened in various parts of Japan in the direct territory of the shogunate.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty only added several new cities since the current port city was opened, but these new cities were not on the territory of Daming. In addition, the shogunate was dominated by the shogunate trade tomorrow, from this point of view, Masato Inoue has completed the tasks assigned by the shogunate.

The negotiations came to an end, and Wang Jingqi officially met with Tokugawa Iji and signed the agreement. After visiting Tokugawa Iji, the agreement was officially signed. When the agreement was signed, Wang Jingqi's mission to Japan was also completed.

"How many days will the upper eunuch not stay in Japan?"

"I want to stay for a few more days, but the Holy Order is hard to violate. This time, Your Majesty sent me to Japan. Since the official duties have been completed, as a minister, I will go back and report my life. This time I came to Japan, I have a lot of horizons, but please rest assured. When I have been handed over the errands after I return to Beijing, I may find time to come and meet with the old man."

It was still Nagasaki, and Wang Jingqi, who was about to return home, said to Masato Inoue who tried to keep him with emotion. Masato Inoue has had a great impression of him these days. Now that Wang Jingqi is going to return to China, he naturally wants to give him one as a shogunate.

Not only did the shogunate and himself have gifts for Wang Jingqi, and they packed several large boxes. These gifts are Japanese specialties, including exquisite folding fans, lacquerware, Japanese knives, etc.

The two of them said goodbye at the dock and agreed to wait for Wang Jingqi to come to Japan next time, Masato Inoue must accompany him to take a good walk in Japan. There are many styles in Japan, so it would be a pity not to see it more.

When time came, Wang Jingqi waved goodbye to the other party, and boarded the warship that returned to China. The warship drove out of Nagasaki Pier. The bustling city became farther and farther away, and eventually disappeared.

"These fools are really easy to fool." Wang Jingqi, who was standing on the deck, chuckled in a voice that others could not hear.

In fact, before arriving in Japan, Wang Jingqi was worried that the Japanese would see their true purpose, but he did not expect that the Japanese shogunate would not see the true intention of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he paid special attention to opening the door and trade interests.

However, it is normal to think about it carefully. Although the shogunate is in power in Japan, the shogunate only nominally unified the days. In fact, the local daimyo in Japan, especially the daimyo in the foreign daimyo, is still full of contradictions with the shogunate.

Although Japan, which has been closed to the country, has begun to understand the changes in the outside world in recent years because the Ming Dynasty forced its doors to open its doors. However, in Wang Jingqi's view, Japan is still a person who is watching the sky from a well. They have no idea how big the world is and how it changes overseas.

If the shogunate really had the courage, it could take advantage of the opportunity to open the door with the Ming Dynasty to change from being closed to developing outward. In this way, Japan could not only follow the Ming Dynasty to gain the dividends of outward expansion, but also take advantage of development opportunities to consolidate its rule.

Unfortunately, the shogunate short-sightedness destined to lose this opportunity. The entire shogunate's political focus is still on its own stability in Japan and its defense against Daming.

It is precisely because of this that the shogunate did not see the real intention of the Ming Dynasty's negotiations at all. Wang Jingqi, such a smart person, noticed it after initial contact with Masato Inoue, and then directly paralyzed the other party as a literati. Taking advantage of the opportunity of opening the door and industrial and commercial negotiations, he easily completed the task assigned by Zhu Yicheng.

Wang Jingqi's real task this time is to obtain an immigration permit from Japan, and immigration permit requires the consent and support of the shogunate. As for opening doors and business, it was a convenient article by the Ming Dynasty considering the Japanese market.

The former is the most important, while the latter can talk about how much it is not necessary. Wang Jingqi, as an envoy specially selected by Zhu Yicheng, completed this task very well.

When Wang Jingqi returned from Japan to the capital, met Zhu Yicheng and handed over the contract. After telling the negotiation process, Zhu Yicheng was very happy. Not only did he praise Wang Jingqi's results in his trip, but he also gave Wang Jingqi the bright yellow jade Ruyi that he had played with on weekdays.

Although it was just a royal gift, it was also a great honor. Wang Jingqi was happy in his heart, holding this jade Ruyi in his hands and thanking the emperor for his kindness.

"Wang Aiqing, since the contract has been signed, the next step is to do the main business. Xinming is urging me closely, and the immigration matter must be carried out as soon as possible. Wang Aiqing thinks who can take on his position in the court? You might as well say the previous one."

Zhu Yicheng asked with a smile. Wang Jingqi felt a little moved when he heard this and quickly replied: "The emperor asked, I naturally have to answer, but I thought about it carefully. I am afraid that there is no one in this court that is more suitable than me, so I recommend myself!"

Zhu Yicheng suddenly burst into laughter. Wang Jingqi was really clever. In fact, before the question was asked, Zhu Yicheng planned to let Wang Jingqi take charge of the follow-up matters. Compared with ordinary government affairs, Wang Jingqi naturally cannot do it, but he fooled the Japanese and established good relations with the Japanese side to ensure subsequent immigration work. Wang Jingqi is the most suitable candidate.
