Immediately afterwards, dozens of ministers, both conservative and radical, begged the king to allow the signing of the contract.

"My Lord, I regret that our naval forces are too weak to contend with the Ghost Fleet!"

"Zuo Quan, I beg the Heavenly King to allow me to sign the contract!"

"Miyamoto Takeshi, I beg the king to allow me to sign the contract!"

"Takeda Nobuyuki, I beg the King to allow me to sign the contract!"

One after another, they begged the Heavenly King.

The king understood the contract very well, and he had to sign it whether he wanted to or not.

"National hatred, national humiliation!" The king raised his head and sobbed, letting the tears slide down his red eyes.

Looking at the ministers bending over to beg for the contract, they no longer stood up straight, nor did they have the same high spirits as when they attacked the Dragon Kingdom.

The king closed his eyes in pain and waved his hands weakly: "Tell Toyotomi Hideyoshi to sign."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not surprised when he received the telegram, as he had already anticipated this result.

There is indescribable bitterness and unwillingness in my heart.

"Mr. Ye, the king has agreed to the terms of your contract and I hope you can abide by it."

Ye Daofu showed a triumphant smile on his face. "I am a principled person. I will definitely abide by the terms of the contract, and I hope you will do the same."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's back was humble, and he took the pen and signed the contract: "I believe that Ye Jun is a man who keeps his promises."

When he signed his name, he felt very tired.

His name will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history along with this contract.

Ye Daofu confirmed that everything was correct and signed his name.

The Treaty of Dongjing officially came into effect after he signed his name.

The entire contract signing ceremony was recorded and photographed.

Ye Daofu shook hands with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. The next time we meet, we may be on the battlefield."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't smile at all, and his expression was very unnatural: "If possible, I don't want to meet you on the battlefield."

"Mr. Ye, we can actually be friends. As long as you don't become our enemy, we are willing to hand over the Han Kingdom to you permanently, and we can even give you half of the Long Kingdom."

At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to persuade Ye Daofu to retreat, although he knew the possibility was zero.

Ye Daofu answered his question seriously, "When you are stronger than before, you can confidently occupy the Dragon Kingdom."

"I'm stronger than you, so why can't I seize your territory openly?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't know what to say for a moment, and silently watched Ye Daofu and his men leave.

He stood there for a long time, feeling that the whole world had become dim and the future was bleak.

"Alas, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, you will be a sinner in history from now on."

"Sir, I think you are a hero." The voice of a subordinate came from behind.

"I am a hero?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi turned around.

"Yes, although the terms of this contract are harsh, it bought us seven days and saved the lives of our brothers outside, as well as the people living along the coast."

"You've saved at least six or seven million people. If you're not a hero, what are you?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought so too. Looking at it from another perspective, he was also a hero. Thinking of this, he felt better.

"Let's go back. We must prepare for the next battle as soon as possible and take revenge!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's figure gradually walked away.

As soon as the Toroku Treaty was successfully signed, news spread throughout the Sakura Empire!
