Chapter 604: Treaty of Kyoto between Han and Japan
Uesugi Kenaki, Mitsuya Yoko, Hayashihara Megumi and all the daimyo who participated in the meeting, the city lord knew very well that this imperial edict was by no means the original intention of Queen Himihu, but a manifestation of the will of Gan Ning, the commander of the navy of the Han Dynasty.
After hearing the imperial edict, Uesugi Kenaki was a little disappointed, because the Han Dynasty did not let him take charge of the entire Yamazaki Kingdom, but instead created another general to check and balance him. However, Uesugi Kenaki knew that he could only accept this arrangement now.
It was because his army was severely damaged in the war that it was no longer able to deal with all the daimyo, the landowners and the powerful Mitsuya Yoko, Hayashibara Megumi, and secondly, the benefits gained by the Uesugi family were acceptable, not only did they gain the title of General of the Conquest of Yi
, and occupy half of the land of Honshu. As long as time is given, the Uesugi family will surely grow and expand, and eventually unify the Japanese islands and become the true masters of the Japanese islands.
For Mitsuya Yoko and Hayashihara Megumi, the arrangement of the Han Dynasty guaranteed all the interests they had obtained on the Japanese island, and also allocated the territory south of Nagoya to them for management. This was a very good plan.
It seems they both are.
Although there are many daimyo and city lords south of Nagoya who have strong military and self-respect, and they can only manage them in name only, as long as they have the support of the Han Dynasty and learn from the Han Dynasty's concepts of country and military governance, they will always develop and grow.
Eventually eat those who want to be independent.
For the remaining daimyo and city lords, they had legitimately obtained the territory they occupied, and they had grown stronger through this war. Although the shogunate had changed from one to two, the strength of the two new shogunates was relatively high.
The previous shogunate has been greatly weakened, and it will be difficult for a long time to achieve the absolutely strong dominance of the previous shogunate. For these weaker daimyo and city lords, this is a great good thing, at least the living space is relatively small.
It was much bigger before.
The arrangements made by Gan Ning, the naval commander, achieved a satisfactory result. The political territory of the Japanese island was temporarily determined. The next step was to determine some matters regarding the land transfer between Han and Japanese. In the attack on the Yamazaki Kingdom
In the process, the Han army occupied two Japanese islands, one was Tsushima Island in the south and the other was Sado Island in the north, and stationed a large number of naval warships in Kobe Port near Kyoto.
Now, Gan Ning wants these generals, daimyo, and city lords to recognize that the sovereignty of Tsushima Island and Sado Island belongs to the Han Dynasty, and agree to the long-term lease of Kobe Port by the Han Dynasty (without paying), and the Han Dynasty has the right to operate in Kobe
In addition to the garrison in Hong Kong, five cities including Daimon, Tottori, Yokohama, Shizuo, and Fukuoka were opened as trading ports between the Han Dynasty and Japan.
Regarding Gan Ning's proposal, Mitsuya Yezi and Hayashihara Megumi had no objections. The Han army had already occupied Tsushima Island. If they didn't come back, it would be better to give it to the Han Dynasty. Mitsuya Yezi and Hayashihara Megumi wanted to join the Han Dynasty.
, the two of them even psychologically regarded themselves as Han women, and the Port of Kobe is located in the core area under the jurisdiction of Mitsuya Yezi and Hayashihara Megumi. With the master's army stationed in important areas, security is more guaranteed, and there is no reason to refuse.
As for the treaty ports such as Daimon, Tottori, and Fukuoka in their jurisdiction, it is even more desirable for Mitsuya Yoko, who is obsessed with commercial interests.
Kenaki Uesugi has no objections. He has never regarded Sado Island as the territory of the Japanese country. If the Han people want to take such a bad island, they can take it. As for opening the two trading ports of Yokohama and Shizuo in his jurisdiction, it doesn't matter.
Something was wrong. Anyway, he needed to do business with the Han Dynasty. With a trade port, it would be even more convenient.
For other daimyo and city lords, the islands, treaty ports, and concessions needed by the Han Dynasty were not on their territory and would not harm their interests. There was no need to raise objections. Instead, they were eager to let Gan Ning take them away.
To weaken the strength of the three so-called generals.
In this way, the "Han-Japanese Treaty of Kyoto", which was a shame for the Japanese country and had a colonial and plundering significance for the Han Dynasty, was signed.
Under the pressure of two-thirds of the power of Japan, the king of Yamato also signed the treaty as a representative of Japan and affixed his seal.
Gan Ning, Liao Li, and Li Yan signed as entrusted representatives of the Han side, but the treaty still had to be signed and sealed by their lord Zuo Aoran and the emperor of the Han Dynasty before it could officially take effect. Gan Ning needed to bring all the treaties back to the Han Dynasty.
, presented it to his eldest brother Zuo Aoran, and then his eldest brother presented it to the current sage, the young emperor Liu Xie!
After the treaty was signed, Gan Ning, on behalf of the Han Dynasty, invited Queen Himihu and the king of Yamato, as well as the three generals Uesugi Kenaki, Mitsugaya Yoko, Hayashibara Megumi and a number of daimyo, castle lords and other small country heads to complete the current important tasks.
Later, he went to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty for a friendly state visit to enhance exchanges between the two countries.
In fact, the reason why Gan Ning asked them to visit the Han Dynasty was not because he wanted them to see the strength of the Han Dynasty, so as to frighten them and reduce their rebelliousness. The main reason was Zuo Aoran's tips.
The plan written in Zuo Aoran's brochure is to have Gan Ning pretend to conduct an interview between the two countries, thereby supporting one side to completely unify the Japanese island, and then execute the kidnapped generals, daimyo, city lords, etc., and wait until the Japanese island is firmly controlled.
, is carrying out the Japanese island cleansing plan, which is the three-light policy, kill them all, rob them all, and burn them all! Except for women and supplies, nothing will be left. If it were not for the lack of high-tech weapons, Zuo Aoran would have directly ordered the destruction of the island.
!
Subsequently, Gan Ning, Mitsuya Yezi and Hayashihara Megumi delineated the scope of the Kobe Port Concession, appointed local officials of the Kobe Port Concession, left a group of Han troops in the Kobe Port Concession, arranged government affairs and other matters, and then prepared
He led his army to escort a group of generals, daimyo, city lords, etc. to leave the Japanese country and go to the Han Dynasty.
Regarding the Han Dynasty's invitation for a state visit, Uesugi Kenaki, Mitsugaya Yoko, and Hayashihara Megumi did not dare to neglect. After all, they all now need the support of the Han Dynasty to further develop and grow. It is very important to win over the relationship with the Han Dynasty in a timely manner.
Yes, as for the daimyo, city lords and other minor kingdom lords, they are just decorations. As long as Uesugi Kenaki, Mitsugaya Yoko and Hayashihara Kei decide the itinerary, the daimyo, city lords and other minor kingdom lords will have to go with them.
By the time Uesugi Kenaki, Mitsutani Yoko, and Hayashihara Kei finally decided on their visit to Han, it was already four months later. During this period, the leader of Yamato had not expressed his position. This matter aroused the concern of Gan Ning and Liao Li.
, the attention of Li Yan and others, no, is not attention, but just what they want!
Declaring war, an extremely reasonable reason appeared, and refusing friendly exchange visits between the two countries was tantamount to contempt for the Han Dynasty. Such a big label was placed on the head of Tsutsui Junaki, the leader of Yamato Kingdom. In this way,
Tsutsui Shunaki could only come and participate in the visit to Han!
However, Tsutsui Junaki was suddenly assassinated on the way there. Tsutsui Junaki died. More than 500 generals who accompanied him were killed immediately. No one survived. A coincidence happened. Tsutsui Junaki was assassinated at the place where he was assassinated.
It was in the Echigo period of Uesugi Kenaki, so it was obvious that it was Uesugi Kenaki who carried out the assassination in order to please the Han Dynasty. This led to his sons Tsutsui Junhiro and Tsutsui Junnaga competing for the throne of Yamato.
The throne of the Lord is divided, each dominates one side, and both are called the Yamato Kingdom. However, people call the jurisdiction of Tsutsui Junaki's eldest son, Tsutsui Junhiro, the Yamato Kingdom, and Tsutsui Junnaga, the Xiaowa Kingdom.
