As soon as Meichuan Shangyi finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned. They did not expect that this envoy from Japan would have agreed so simply!

As an envoy of a country, speaking and doing things represent your own country. Now that you make a public promise at a formal court meeting, this is not something you can regret!

I have always heard that Japan has money, but I didn’t expect that it was true, and some officials were thinking so.

But some officials thought more deeply and felt that the news of the Japanese envoy was blocked, or they thought that the Ming Dynasty was the Ming Dynasty in the past.

To put it bluntly, in the past, the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty was only more than two million yuan a year, and the highest was about three million taels, so the court was so poor that it could not even pay the military pay for the border army.

Although the court has always wanted to innovate and increase financial income, several generations of emperors have not been able to change this situation well, even Emperor Wanli and Emperor Tianqi are no exception. After all, it is really difficult to significantly increase the treasury income!

Who would have thought that since the current priest ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty had such a drastic change. Who would have thought? No one would have thought of it!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue. Bi Shangshu did not directly say how much money it was to compensate, but said that half of the current treasury income? This is digging a hole for the Japanese envoy!

Thinking of these people, they looked at the Japanese envoy again, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him. They seemed a little satisfied, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. They could hardly imagine that the Japanese envoy knew how half of the Ming treasury was now, and I wonder what would it feel like?

Haha, I guess I have the desire to die! But even if I die, it is useless. This is equivalent to the agreement between the two countries. Can I regret it if I die?

The pit is really a pitfall! I wonder if Japan can still climb up after falling into this pit?

Thinking of this, these officials wondered again that such a cheating thing seemed a bit different from Bi Shangshu’s personality!

They guessed it right, and this was actually instructed by Emperor Chongzhen.

The Tokugawa shogunate has been shutting down the country, and because of previous relationships, he would not take the initiative to come to understand the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the impression of the Ming Dynasty was probably at least ten years ago.

Originally, the Japanese envoy came to the Ming Dynasty and saw the changes in the Ming Dynasty on the way, which should be a little more alert. After all, economic development is traceable.

However, Emperor Chongzhen asked the factory guards to secretly guide the people of the Ming Dynasty to vent their dissatisfaction with the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese envoys came over and hid in the car because of the siege of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to come out. Not only did they convey the hatred of the Ming Dynasty against the Japanese, but they also made him lose news, and they were basically at the point of knowing nothing about the new changes in the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of these kinds of preparations that when they seek the Ming Dynasty, they are determined to resolve the historical grudges between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, so that the Japanese envoys can easily jump into Bi Ziyan's trap, but they are still complacent.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Meichuan Shangyi who was relieved on the imperial throne and said coldly: "Although Taizu once said that Japan is a country that does not seek. However, I think that if Taizu knew that Japan would dare to covet the Ming Dynasty and be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that this country that does not seek will be changed to a country that does not seek. I am magnanimous and give you a chance to repent and reform. Within a year, I will fulfill my promise and have the sincerity to apologize. I hope you can cherish it. If you still do your own things, have no faith and no righteousness, and ignore my Ming Dynasty, when I am the sucker, I don't mind personally expeditioning and siege Japan. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the civil servants and generals who thought more suddenly realized. They realized that the reason why Bi Shangshu digged so much must be related to the emperor!

Thinking of this, they looked at the Japanese envoy and the emperor, and couldn't help but feel secretly glad in their hearts that they were the emperor's minister, otherwise they would have been cheated and helped count the money just like this Japanese envoy!

As expected, when Meichuan Shangyi heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, he immediately seized the opportunity to express his opinion: "Please rest assured that within one year, my king will definitely come to the Celestial Kingdom to pay homage to the country, and he will definitely come with enough sincerity and will never break his promise."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "I've given you the opportunity, so take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left. When the eunuch saw it, he screamed in a scream: "Your Majesty returns to the palace and retreat!"

Of course, the emperor does not need to ask about the rest of the matter, otherwise what will the ministers do!

After all the civil and military officials sent Emperor Chongzhen away, they all turned around and looked at the Japanese envoy.

Meichuan Shangyi was complacent at first. The officials of the Ming Dynasty hated him so much, but he forced the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to make a decision. With the emperor's words, these officials and the people outside, so what if they hate him, would they dare to disobey the imperial edict?

But slowly, he felt something was wrong. Because he found that the eyes of these officials seemed a little strange when they looked at him!

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was wrong? The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had already made the decision, and it was a foregone conclusion!

Umekawa Suoyi followed the officials of the Honglu Temple and thought carefully, would they think that the Emperor would not come to the Ming Dynasty? The domestic situation is already very tense. For the future of Japan, General Tokugawa would definitely persuade the Emperor to come to the Ming Dynasty to apologize. What is the reason why these Ming officials think of themselves this way?

He wondered all the way, when he walked outside the Forbidden City and was about to get into the sedan chair, he finally came to his senses. Could it be that there was a problem with the amount of compensation, right? But even if the difference between the two is hundreds of thousands of taels, under the current circumstances, I believe the shogun can take it out!

A little confused, he asked the official from the Honglu Temple and said, "Shangguan, may I ask, I wonder how much treasurys of silver the treasury income of the Shangguo of the Celestial Kingdom in a year?"

"How many thousand taels?" The official from the Honglu Temple was a little surprised when he heard this, and then suddenly realized. Seeing Meichuan Shangyi's face became particularly wonderful. He turned around and said loudly in front of Meichuan Shangyi, "My treasury revenue in the Ming Dynasty last year was more than 21 million taels. This year, depending on the situation, it should be more, at least 20% more..."

Before he finished speaking, Meichuan Shangyi's face changed. He didn't care about being polite or rude, and quickly interrupted and asked, "How much? Did I hear it wrong? Two thousand one million taels?"

"Haha!" The official of the Honglu Temple smiled happily, fearing that Meichuan Shangyi would not understand, so he said word by word again: "Two one million taels are more than two thousand one million taels, you heard it right!"

After he said this, Meichuan Shangyi was stunned. He finally knew why the officials looked at him with such eyes. More than 21 million taels, even half, that was more than 10 million taels. He agreed immediately and said that it was no problem. This... This...

You should know that the annual silver output of Ishimi Yinshan is only about 860,000 taels. Although the Tokugawa shogunate has been in charge of Japan for some years, not all the output of Ishimi Yinshan is stored, and it costs more than 10,000 taels of silver every year. Now the country is still in wartime, and it is even more time to use money. How can this money be taken out? Even if you use something else to convert the money, you will probably have to wipe the Japan completely. Can General Tokugawa agree?

Thinking of himself in front of the Ming Emperor, he agreed and said that there was no problem. Meichuan Shangyi felt that the sky was dark, his legs became weak, his eyes became dark, and he fainted.

When the Honglu Temple official saw it, he sneered and whispered: "You actually deserve it if you dare to look at my Ming Dynasty with old eyes!"

Not to mention what happened after Meichuan Shangyi woke up, I would like to say that Emperor Chongzhen returned to the harem at this time and was in a very good mood.

The solution to Japan was decided at the DPRK agreement, which was officially agreed by the two countries. In this way, as long as Japan cannot afford so much money, it is a problem for Japan. No matter what the Ming Dynasty wants to do, no matter how the government and the opposition are, they can't say anything!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty made a famous division, and Japan must be destroyed!

However, there are some things that I should urge.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group and first issued an order to Li Zhiqi, the commander of the Liaoxian Navy, so that he could increase the pressure on the Jianlu of Jiuzhou.

Dorgon has been slowing down, and this has been delayed until the end of May, and it is about to start the early June. As a result, the cross-sea battle has not been launched yet, which is not possible!

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen just thought about forcing the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to steal Shijian Yinshan. The Tokugawa Shogunate would definitely not agree, and both sides would fight. But after the Japanese envoy arrived, he changed his attention and decided to help the remnants of the Qing Dynasty defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Of course, this help is definitely not to send troops, but to use the information found by the secret spies of the Jinyiwei in Edo, and to disclose it to Haoge through Qian Fugui, which will increase the chances of winning the Qing Dynasty. There are several benefits to doing so.

First, Haoge must be able to continue to win, so that he can improve his prestige among the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, strengthen his voice, and give him more capital to disobey Dorgon and compete with each other, thereby achieving the goal of weakening the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Qian Fugui played the role of Fan Wencheng to Huang Taiji in the past. However, Qian Fugui did not come up with ideas to deal with the Ming Dynasty, but to deal with Japan, which is a completely different nature.

Second, if Japan is defeated by the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will send troops to conquer Japan from the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. This will naturally be the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Japan will not be able to take out more than 10 million yuan in atonement silver. This pair-pronged approach will make even the old stubborn man have nothing to say.

Third, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty were foreigners for Japan. It would be impossible for them to occupy and digest Japan in a short time. In this way, when the Ming army attacked Japan, the opponent's remnants of the Qing Dynasty would actually be better than choosing the Tokugawa shogunate. Through Qian Fugui and Wu Daji, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty could maximize the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to do bad things and take the blame.

Fourth, through Wu Daji, we know that the conflicts with the Catholic army were actually increasing. However, Dorgon was still thinking about being able to hook up with the Spaniards in Luzon through the relationship between the Catholic army, so as to achieve the goal of purchasing cannons and ships. Once this hope is shattered, I believe that these two forces may turn against each other.

From the above, we can see that controlling the situation in Japan and allowing the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to win is the most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen began to adjust his strategy and redeploy according to this idea.

In the chat group, he directly chatted with Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, saying: "This time, the Japanese envoy suddenly appeared in Tianjin Port, but the secret spies in Edo knew nothing. Although it was possible that the Tokugawa shogunate kept it secret to hide the spies of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, I am still not satisfied no matter what."

"I will know the crime, please punish him!" Liu Xingzuo quickly apologized when he saw it. He actually knew this matter, and it was not beyond his expectations when the emperor mentioned it.

Emperor Chongzhen did not blame him when he saw the reply. There was no need to shout and kill him in public. Just click it, I believe Liu Xingzuo should be able to wake up.

Thinking of this, he explained: "No matter what method you use, I must grasp the movements of the Tokugawa shogunate to the greatest extent. Do you understand?"

The remnants of the Qing Dynasty, because of the wealthy and Wu Daji's existence, were considered to be in their center, and the basic news could not be hidden from the Ming Dynasty; only the Tokugawa shogunate was still too weak, and Emperor Chongzhen was not satisfied with this.

Liu Xingzuo had a vain case and immediately replied: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I will get something if I give you one month!"

He decided to take advantage of Zheng Zhilong's relationship in Japan, whether it was a coercion or a temptation, and he must take down the people in the Tokugawa shogunate. He has experience in this regard.

Emperor Chongzhen no longer paid too much attention to details, so he did not pay much attention to it. After explaining this matter, he went to the imperial study room to continue to improve his manuscript.

This manuscript is not from later generations. After the initial basics, he no longer has to worry about the people who teach the routines to others. His manuscript is about technology. If it is published, there will be no matter what kind of volts or Faraday people. Of course, the corresponding unit will also change. This makes Emperor Chongzhen a headache and it will be easy to write, which is just how many volts, but his book cannot be written even, otherwise, others will ask, what does this volt mean?

At present, there have been relatively big breakthroughs in steam engines. Especially after the Ming Dynasty occupied Nanyang, Emperor Chongzhen could not forget the rubber thing, but he could not just use it, and it still needs to be processed. At present, Emperor Chongzhen also lets a group of craftsmen do this.

In fact, there was no particularly obvious inheritance relationship between the steam era and the electrical era. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had already started to write electrical knowledge before the steam engine had reached its peak.
