The Japanese envoy did not beat around the bush. As soon as he came up, he opened Shimazu Yueku's conditions.

The conditions that Shimazu Tsukiku have offered are nothing more than three points, and they will be entrusted, paid tribute, and handed over to others.

According to the Japanese envoy, Shimazu Yueji came to conquer the countries in the South China this time because of the trade between the South China and the Central Plains caravans. The envoy stated that because the Eastern countries and the Uinomaru were hostile countries, the trade between the South China and the Eastern countries was equivalent to being mixed with the Eastern countries and becoming the enemy country of Uinomaru.

If the Kikusan Kingdom wants to avoid this war, it must cut off relations with the Eastern Kingdoms, surrender to Shimazu Tsukiku's, and pay extremely huge taxes every year.

In order to show sincerity, the Kikusan Kingdom must arrest all the people in the Central Plains in its country and hand them over to the Japanese army. The Fujiwara King and the Queen of Fujiwara must also go to the beach to welcome Shimazu to land at a high landing and hold a ceremony of tribute to the surrender.

As long as King Fujiwara can handle it according to Shimazu Tsukiha's request, a war that can be avoided enough to destroy the Kikusang Kingdom.

After the Japanese envoy finished speaking about the conditions, the monarch and ministers of the Kikusang Kingdom were stunned for a while. After a while, the ministers began to discuss, while Fujiwara King asked the Japanese envoy to go down and rest.

However, the Japanese envoy turned around and left. Before leaving, he even announced directly that if Shimazu Yueji had not seen the monarch and queen of the Kikusang Kingdom on the coast when the sun rose tomorrow, the Japanese fleet would attack the Kikusang Kingdom. The envoy's words were full of threat, and he swung away under the eyes of the monarch and ministers of the Kikusang Kingdom.

As soon as the Japanese envoy left, the ministers of Jusang Kingdom immediately fell into a fierce discussion. The ministers were divided into two factions. Eighty percent of the ministers felt that they should accept the conditions of the Japanese army. After all, this would be a disaster. With the strength of Jusang Kingdom, it was impossible to be an opponent of the Japanese army. Under the actual situation, it would be better to pay tribute than to destroy the country.

However, a few ministers were extremely opposed, thinking that it was extremely shameful to surrender to the footsteps of thousands of Japanese robbers in the country.

The two sides quarreled in the royal court without any results.

King Fujiwara was nearly fifty years old. Perhaps because of excessive alcohol and color, his body looked very weak, pale and thin, and his whole body was buried in the golden throne, watching the verbal disputes among the ministers in the court in a daze.

Queen Fujiwara beside him is only in his thirties, with fair skin. Perhaps she has been maintained, and her skin looks very smooth. She has a starry eyebrow, starry nose and cherry lips, wearing a queen's formal outfit, and her head looks extremely luxurious. There is a beauty mole on the corner of her right eyebrow, which adds a bit of charm to the luxury, but her expression is very solemn. Seeing the two gangs arguing in the courtyard, a sneer appeared on her beautiful face, she suddenly raised her hand, and put it heavily on the handrail of the throne, shouting in a sweet voice: "Stop it all!"

Although Queen Fujiwara's voice was beautiful, her tone was extremely cold and full of majesty. The ministers immediately did not dare to speak again and stood up respectfully.

The women in these countries in the South China are higher than those in the Central Plains, and the idea of ​​men being superior to women is slightly weaker. Moreover, since Queen Fujiwara became Queen Kikusang, she helped King Fujiwara handle state affairs, was selfless and generous to the people, and had great prestige in the country of Kikusang, and even the ministers in the court were extremely awe.

Queen Fujiwara and other ministers were speechless, then they looked at the helpless King Fujiwara and said seriously: "Master, the Japanese bandit army is coming, and they want us to pay tribute. How is the king ready to deal with it?"

King Fujiwara opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't speak.

"The army is approaching, please cheer up and discuss good strategies." Queen Fujiwara said solemnly: "We don't have much time left, and the Japanese army will launch an attack tomorrow. Please think deeply about how to make a decision!"

The ministers in the court also said in unison: "Please think deeply, your lord!"

King Fujiwara reluctantly sat down and thought for a while before he carefully said to Queen Fujiwara: "Queen, the enemy is strong. If he forces him to fight against him, he may...!"

Before he finished speaking, Queen Fujiwara frowned and said, "Does the king want to accept the conditions for the Japanese bandits?"

The Fujiwara King was obviously very afraid of her. He heard that Queen Fujiwara's tone was not good and hurriedly said, "Who is that... this... the queen has any good ideas?"

Queen Fujiwara glanced at the royal court ministers and asked lightly: "You all think you should accept the conditions of the Japanese bandits and pay tribute to them?"

When the ministers in the court saw Queen Fujiwara's expression, they knew the queen's thoughts. For a moment, they looked at each other, but no one dared to answer. After a while, the Prime Minister of Kikusang came forward and plucked up his courage and said carefully: "Queen, the Japanese bandits are in large numbers, we are not enemies. If we really fight against them, we will be defeated by them. At that time... life will be ruined!"

Queen Fujiwara's beautiful mouth raised, and her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness: "There are many powers? I, the country of Jusang, have hundreds of thousands of Japanese bandits, and their power is more powerful than us. The devastating creatures is naturally not what we want to see, but do you think that after accepting the conditions of the Japanese bandits, we can be safe and avoid the devastating creatures?"

Queen Fujiwara stood up slowly. Her figure was also extremely plump and charming, elegant and noble, and she had a majesty. She walked down step by step from the throne: "My Kusang Kingdom is among the sixteen countries in Nanyang, and she can be regarded as the leader of all countries. If we surrender without fighting, then who else can resist the invasion of the Japanese bandits?" She looked cold and said slowly: "You all know the news that the Japanese bandits have captured the seven countries, and they all killed and set fire to rape them in the seven countries.

They are a group of extremely vicious beasts. Once they are occupied by them, our Jusang Kingdom will definitely be trampled by them. They sent people to negotiate, not really want to avoid this war, just because they know that our Jusang Kingdom is not a vulnerable country. If they want to capture our country, they must pay a huge price, so they sent people to negotiate... Once we do not resist being stepped onto our land, we will face the fate of being trampled on like other countries."

Suddenly, several ministers said, "The Queen is right, we will never surrender!"

"But... if we really fight them to arouse their anger, the consequences will be even more serious after they land." Prime Minister Guodao: "I am just considering the safety of the king and the queen. If we surrender, the Japanese bandits will not hurt the king and the queen, otherwise...!" He sighed at this point.

Queen Fujiwara smiled indifferently, very charming, "The Prime Minister is worried too much. The king is the monarch of a country, and he is also the leader of my Southeast Asian country. If you beg for surrender to a group of straits, it is no different from death." She said seriously: "If we surrender, the sixteen Southeast Asian countries will become the territory of the Japanese bandits. From then on, the people of Southeast Asian countries will be endlessly slaughtered and ravaged by the Japanese bandits. If we fight with the Japanese bandits, even if we lose, even if we and the King really fall into the hands of the Japanese bandits, it will be enough for other countries to continue to resist. As long as we do not give up, the Japanese bandits will be driven out of our land one day."

Queen Fujiwara's words were very calm and not passionate, but they were loud and loud. Many of the ministers felt very ashamed when they heard them.

In such a dangerous moment, a woman showed more courage than countless men.

The Fujiwara King looked hesitant slightly, and Queen Fujiwara turned around and said, "King, we will not submit our friends from far away to the Japanese bandits. Friends from far away come from all the way, bringing prosperity to us, and bringing culture and skills that we didn't know before. They regard us as friends, how can we abandon our friends?"

At this moment, a minister with considerable insight next to him came out and said, "King, the strength of the Central Plains is definitely stronger than the Japanese bandits. Their merchant ships are so huge, and their merchants are so brave. It can be seen that their army must be very powerful. If we hand over their merchants to the Japanese bandits, once the Central Plains learn about them, they will definitely turn from friends to enemies with us. If their army comes, we will face more serious consequences. But if we protect their merchants, they will continue to regard us as friends... Miss Du's fleet will come back sooner or later. If they see the Japanese bandits occupying our land, maybe... maybe they can help us deal with the Japanese bandits. As long as the Central Plains can help, we will definitely drive the Japanese bandits out of the South China Sea..."

Du Bingyue's fleet all claimed to be from the Central Plains, so the Nanyang people only thought they came from the Central Plains.

King Fujiwara said without comment: "But... but when will it take? Even if they really come, will they... leave in fear when they see such a large army of Japanese bandits...!"

Queen Fujiwara immediately said: "My sister Wang is absolutely fearless. She broke into the bandit's nest alone and retrieved the heads of the two bandit leaders. How could she be afraid of the Japanese bandit's army today?" She showed a look of confidence on her face: "Maybe Wang Mei's fleet is coming here. If she sees us in trouble, she will definitely help!"

King Fujiwara was silent for a while and finally asked: "Queen, if we reject their conditions, what should we do next?"

"We are going by the sea." Queen Fujiwara said seriously: "But not to surrender, but to encourage morale. When the king comes to the front line, our soldiers will definitely be in high morale. Even if they lose to the Japanese bandits at sea, if they land on the shore, we will have to pay a heavy price for every step forward!"

The Fujiwara King looked as if he was ashes and hurriedly said, "Queen, I... I am not in good health, I cannot... I cannot go..."

A trace of disappointment flashed through Queen Fujiwara's eyes, but she still said, "The king is not in good health and cannot go forward, so I will go on behalf of the king to inspire the soldiers!" She stopped talking, walked straight out of the royal court with light steps.

The ministers looked at each other, but seeing that the queen was so brave, many ministers immediately followed behind and followed the queen out of the royal court.
