    Chapter 508: Tomorrow¡¯s Alliance (Third update)

    Doi Toshi¡¯s words made Shi Kefa very uncomfortable. Has the Ming Dynasty declined to the point where Japan, which is almost disabled, is laughing at it?  []

    "Angels don't need to be angry, I don't mean what you think."

    Doi Toshiki comforted Shi Kefa and said,

    "What I mean is that maybe we should unite to resist the Chinese Empire. Just like Sun Liu against Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms!"

    Unite!  This may be an idea. Although Japan has a feud with Ming Dynasty, it may be difficult to sustain it without unity when facing the powerful Taiwan.

    "But as far as I know, your Tokugawa shogunate's decision is not what matters in Japan now. Although Toyotomi Hideyori is only the nominal leader of the southeastern vassals, he is still very consistent in his treatment of your Tokugawa shogunate.  .

    How can a Japan, which is in constant internal strife and unable to deal with the outside world, form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty?  How can we contribute to contain Taiwan?  "

    Shi Kefa is not a fool. Although forming an alliance with Japan will indeed help to share some of the pressure on Ming Dynasty, Japan is currently in great domestic chaos.  The disappearance of the emperor eliminated the only possibility of domestic unity in Japan.

    Under the control of the Chinese Empire, Japan could only continue endless wars.  Unless both sides can calm down, completely divide the borders and form two relatively independent countries, it will be impossible for Japan to use its strength to confront the Chinese Empire in a life-and-death situation.

    "So we want to completely unify Japan. Under the conspiracy of the Chinese Empire, our Japanese emperor and his family were completely killed. Now Japan has been without an emperor for nearly two years.

    If we continue like this, we will still be in chaos for a long time, so what we mean is to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to canonize our general as the Emperor of Japan and completely end the civil strife in Japan.  In this way, we can establish an alliance with Ming Dynasty and make common progress and retreat when facing Taiwan.  "Doi Toshikatsu directly stated his intention.

    Although Japan invaded the Ming Dynasty several times, in the hearts of its citizens, the Central Plains Dynasty still has great deterrence and legitimacy. Especially now that there is no emperor, the status of the Ming Emperor still has some.  This is also the reason why Tokugawa Hidetada sent Doi Toshikatsu to take advantage of the opportunity of the founding of the Chinese Empire to contact the Ming Dynasty.

    At this time, Shi Kefa's mind also turned quickly.  Doing this will not do any harm to Ming Dynasty, and it may also add a powerful ally so that Ming Dynasty will not fight alone when resisting Taiwan.

    Now, looking around, there are not many forces that can become allies of the Ming Dynasty.  Some time ago, the four-party alliance jointly attacked Liaodong, but the final result was that North Korea was destroyed and Huang Taiji was directly frightened. I heard that he was now preparing to move west.

    And Mongolia is better. After the death of its great khan Lin Dan Khan, various tribes directly broke out to fight for the position of the khan. Now the entire grassland is full of wars and corpses. Even if it stabilizes in the future, it will basically be ruined.

    As for the countries in the south, it¡¯s not that Ming Dynasty looked down upon them. As long as three or four Taiwanese warships bombarded their coast, they would be frightened into surrendering.

    Now that Japan has come to ask for an alliance, Ming seems to have no reason to refuse.

    "But what if Toyotomi Hideyori proclaims himself emperor?"

    Shi Kefa is still a little worried about whether Japan has the ability to form an alliance with Ming Dynasty.

    "Toyotomi Hideyori is just a clown. He is just a puppet in front of the daimyo of the southeastern lords. Even if he really ascends the throne as emperor, he is just a puppet. And because he does not have the thousand-year prestige of the previous emperors  , so that it cannot get the support of the Japanese people at all. In a few years, our people will definitely abandon it." Doi Toshikatsu said with great disdain.

    "Well, you are right. Well, if you can unify Japan, then our alliance will take effect and we can fight against the Chinese Empire together. How about that?"

    Shi Kefa set the premise for the alliance that the Tokugawa shogunate ruled the entire Japan. Otherwise, if the Chinese Empire attacked Japan now, would Ming Dynasty be required to fulfill its alliance obligations? That would be very unfair.

    "Can!"

    In this way, the two sides set a preliminary intention to form an alliance. Of course, whether they can truly form an alliance will have to be recognized by the supreme rulers of both parties.

    Having achieved an alliance with Japan, Shi Kefa felt very accomplished. He decided that he had done a great thing for the Ming Dynasty, and history books would definitely rate him highly.

    ? ?Therefore, when he came to the streets of Taipei again, he no longer had the dead face that disliked everything, and he was also interested in commenting on the prosperity of Taipei.

    "My lord, what do you think of the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa Shogunate?"

    Half an hour later, the content of the negotiation between Shi Kefa and Doi Toshi was sent to Xiao Mingqian verbatim by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, allowing Xiao Mingqian to temporarily put aside the Spanish princess matter that gave him an extremely headache.

    "Haha! The offensive and defensive alliance! If it was of some use five years ago, now I hope that Emperor Chongzhen can canonize Tokugawa Hidetada as emperor. Otherwise, if it continues like this, then the former imperial family will always live in the hearts of the Japanese.

    Only by allowing two new emperors to appear in Japan can the prestige of the previous imperial family be completely destroyed, lest anyone claim to be a descendant of the emperor and come out to cause trouble in the future.  "

    Xiao Mingqian is very happy to see Tokugawa Tadahide become the emperor. In this way, his action of annihilating the entire imperial family can achieve the greatest effect.

    Sometimes, Xiao Mingqian also wanted to destroy Japan at this time.  But according to the intelligence from the Japan Division, Japan is different from North Korea.

    Ordinary people in North Korea are the same as people in Ming Dynasty. They basically have the mentality that it doesn¡¯t matter who becomes the king.  But the Japanese people are different. Their almost pathological sense of obedience and the emperor's status in their hearts enable them to burst out with terrifying resistance.

    With the current strength of the Chinese Empire, it is very easy to destroy Japan.  But what will follow is bound to be endless resistance.  Then in order to transform Japan, the huge energy of the Chinese Empire would be contained.

    It would be better to continue to implement the plan that was made long ago, completely destroy it, and then accept it again.

    Also, don¡¯t look at the fact that the Chinese Empire easily occupied Liaodong, North Korea and the three southeastern provinces without paying too many casualties. In addition to the three provinces of Annan, it has to digest these millions of square kilometers.  With a population of more than 20 million, the energy required by the Chinese Empire will be unimaginably large.

    Although after digestion, the benefits are unimaginable.  But at least for a short period of time, and unable to expand.  Unless Xiao Mingqian can ignore the development of the Chinese Empire itself.
