Imperial Palace, Kyoto, Japan.

This grand palace, imitated from the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, looks a bit like the residence of an emperor from a distance. However, when you get closer and take a closer look, you can see that it is in a state of disrepair. Everywhere is exposed to wind, dew and rain, and is paved on the ground.

The tatami also exudes a musty smell that is full of the times. Even the northern samurai who guard the throne are renouncers who are at the lowest level of the samurai class. They were recruited by the emperor who could not afford a lot of money and became his royal servants.

Thugs. Although they are also called northern warriors, they are really not the same thing as the northern warriors from the Yuan and Ping clans that Emperor Shirakawa used. In the view of Zheng Guoxian, this group of people is just a bunch of poor people.

He is about to be sent to a pawn shop, but he still harbors the dream of a samurai.

However, these lunatics are very energetic. No matter how much money they get paid per month, when it is their turn to be on duty to protect their "Emperor and Goddess", they all have their eyes wide open and their faces are so vicious that they look like everyone else.

They are evil people who want to harm the emperor.

When Zheng Guoxian walked into the Zichen Hall, he was looked at by dozens of people like this. He knew that as long as the beautiful elder sister sitting in the Zichen Hall said a word, he would be hacked to death!

These warriors from the north of the Queen are all willing to risk their lives for the Queen!

But these people only looked at Zheng Guoxian viciously, and no one drew their swords to attack him. They just watched helplessly as this army officer from a foreign country walked into the dilapidated Zichen Palace under the guidance of a minister with powdered face.

The light in the Zichen Palace is very dark - there are no electric lights in the imperial palace because there is no electricity (electricity is too expensive), and there are only a few very thin candles (thick candles are too expensive), which can barely illuminate the room.

When Zheng Guoxian walked in, through the dim candlelight, he saw Emperor Shizuko sitting on a cushion from a distance. The gauze curtain was not lowered in front of the female emperor, and she was only seen wearing a printed yellow kimono.

, a face that is a bit charming and a bit fierce, with only a little makeup on, and next to the cushion is a plain sword with a plain scabbard, and the rope on the handle is a bit worn.

Hearing Zheng Guoxian's footsteps, the female emperor just raised her head and glanced down, then lowered her head to look at the thick stack of texts in her hand.

"Zheng Guoxian meets His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zheng Guoxian stood at attention and then bowed to the emperor's sister whom he had known since childhood.

"Kamiyama, Tiraishi!" Emperor Shizuko spoke Chinese very well and her voice was pleasant, but her tone was still a bit gloomy. She did not offer a seat, but directly raised the text in her hand and shook it, "This is what you have imposed on me.

The Tokugawa Shogunate's 'Twenty-One'! The General wanted me to approve it. But after reading it, I found that if Japan really acted in accordance with the 'Twenty-One', the entire country would become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty! So,

, this traitorous agreement!”

The "Twenty-One", of course, is a traitorous agreement! Although the Ming Dynasty will not occupy even an inch of Japan's land based on the "Twenty-One", it can even use some land as a reward from the spoils after defeating the British and dominating the world.

Japan.

However, Japanese industries, whether they are agriculture, finance, light industry or commerce, will all be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty because of these "Twenty-One Policies" - they will either accept capital injections from the Ming Dynasty, or become Ming Dynasty's industrial and commercial agents, or

They were defeated by Ming Dynasty's counterparts! Even if Ming Dynasty "supported" Japan's textile industry to focus on development, there would be no luck. Because Japan's advantage in the textile industry is only high-quality and cheap labor force. But one has no capital, and two

With no technology, no brand, no sales channels, no raw materials, and no market, how could this possibly develop? We can only work as a contract manufacturer or simply work for the capitalists of the Ming Dynasty.

As for other industries that need to be liberalized and have little competitive advantage, there is no doubt that they will be swept away by the powerful counterparts of Ming Dynasty, and will either be acquired or close down. Of course, Ming Dynasty's industrial capital and financial capital will also swarm in.

, but they are not here to do good things. It won’t be long before Daming Capital will control most of Japan’s industries.

Perhaps after the reshuffle is completed, Japan's economy will gradually recover as it gradually integrates into China, but in the process of this industrial reshuffle, Japan will definitely suffer considerable pain.

Precisely because they knew that these "twenty-one measures" would bring considerable pain to Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate did not dare to take the blame for the whole family and had to involve the emperor no matter what. And Emperor Shizuko had been emperor for eight years.

I knew that the Tokugawa shogunate would never think of me if something good happened.

so.

Empress Jingzi put down the text in her hand, looked at Zheng Guoxian, and said word for word: "In addition to the 'Twenty-One', Brother Shenshan, the general also asked me to issue an edict to accuse the loyal men of the king who are entrenched in Nagasaki as national traitors! This should be

Is that what you, the Ming Dynasty, mean? If I agree to the request of the shogunate, how will you deal with the righteous men of Nagasaki?"

"Of course they are to be eliminated! Completely eliminated!" Zheng Guoxian said, "They are not righteous men, they are national traitors who want to sell Japan to the Baiyi. How can such national traitors not be eliminated? My Ming Dynasty sent 300,000 troops and 1,000 warships.

The ship came across the sea just to help Japan eliminate the national traitors!"

"Hmph, you have an army of 300,000 men and a thousand warships, but you are still afraid that you won't be able to capture Nagasaki? Why do you need me, a puppet of the shogunate, to accuse them of being an enemy?"

"Because of your Majesty's decree, Nagasaki will become a traitor despised by everyone, and I, Ming, are the righteous soldiers invited by your Majesty to help suppress it. It is up to me to be righteous, so I can get the support of the Western Japanese samurai who are loyal to your Majesty. And

The rebels in Nagasaki know that not only will they lose, but they will also be ruined after death. How desperate they must be. If they can only die in despair and remain thieves after death, then the Ming Dynasty will be in Japan in the future.

Have many friends and fewer enemies.

Your Majesty, now that the shogunate has been won over by us, and you can't fight against the shogunate with those northern warriors! So please issue an edict to approve the "Twenty-One" and name the Nagasaki rebels as the enemy! The Ming Dynasty is not

It will make your friends suffer. If you are a friend of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will support you to be the emperor and give you 1 million silver yuan!"

With a "pop" sound, the emperor slapped the tatami, then stood up suddenly, and picked up the tachi smoothly, then strode up to Zheng Guoxian, raised his neck and looked at the eldest son Zheng angrily, Zheng

The eldest son looked at the female emperor with a smile. The emperor opened his mouth and said word by word: "No. The Nagasaki samurai are all my loyal ministers. I can't betray my loyal ministers for a mere million. I have to pay more!"

"How much?" Zheng Guoxian asked.

The emperor looked at Zheng Guoxian, bit his teeth, and spit out a number: "Three million!"

"No!" Zheng Guoxian shook his head and said with a smile, "At least five million!"

"Five million?" Emperor Jingzi looked at Mr. Zheng, "Can you really give that much?"

Zheng Guoxian nodded: "This is just the money to support the martyrs in the campaign against Nagasaki. The 'Twenty-One' will be approved after the campaign against Nagasaki is completed. Then we can ask for another five million. With so much money,

And with the support of the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to keep the throne?”

A one-million-dollar deal has now been turned into a ten-million deal by Zheng Guoxian. He really knows how to do deals!

However, he only dared to do this deal because he knew exactly what the Ming court wanted. This price must be painful for the Ming court, but it can still afford it, and it will definitely be paid. Because Ming Dynasty has spent a lot of money in order to win Japan, the gold medal player.

After spending so much energy and financial resources, now is the time when nothing can go wrong. Ten million can buy the emperor's support. Although it is expensive, it is still worth it.

Jingzi was really satisfied this time and showed a very charming smile.
