Chapter 63 The Treaty of Shimonoseki

"However, the kind of rocket that Childe shot into Usuki City before should be okay......" Zong Lin still didn't give up, and Bababi said.

"Oh, well, I don't have much stock." Zhao Gongzi glanced at Ma Yinglong, who was standing aside.

"Yes, it's all gone, not a single shot left." Ma Yinglong hurriedly replied.

"This ......" Otomo Zonglin couldn't hide his disappointment, and couldn't help but be a little angry: "In this case, I don't know when the war will be delayed?" ”

"Whatever you want, but we won't stay long." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The New Year will be next month, the soldiers are homesick, and they must return before the end of the month, and everything will either be done before we leave, or we will come back next year." ”

"Hey." Otomo Zonglin suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly straightened up in response.

"In short, the Maori family's house is in a mess, why not your family?" Zhao Hao's expression was sorrowful, revealing a strong war-weariness and said: "Hurry up and negotiate, go back to your own house to find your mother." You can go ahead and beat your fat bear. ”

"Hey." Otomo Zonglin replied again, but his forehead was dripping with sweat. The scheming old Wang, how could he not hear the threat in Zhao Gongzi's words?

He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and quickly retreated.

"This monk is a little inflated." When Otomo Zonglin went out, Zheng Ruozeng sneered.

"Of course, he has been crushed by Maori Yuan all his life, and it is inevitable that he will get carried away if he can win once this time." Zhao Hao smiled disapprenosingly: "You see how cautious he was when he saw me last time?" This time, the performance was much more stretched. ”

Saying that, he stood up, stretched his waist and said, "The old monk is floating, thinking that he is the king of Kyushu." If he wants this mentality to deal with the bear in front of fat, I think he will definitely be in trouble. If you can't win this battle, it will be the pinnacle of his life. ”

When everyone in the room heard this, their hearts screamed wildly. Here it is, here it is again, Childe's great prophecy is here again - the old king will be unlucky in the future!

The reason why Zhao Gongzi chose the Otomo family as an agent among the three heroes in Kyushu is actually the key. Before Zong Lin defeated Maori Yuan, he was cautious and persevering, completely because he was holding his breath. Now that he has won and floated, that breath has dissipated, and he has begun all kinds of performances that have lost his mind.

Including but not limited to indulging in alcohol, profligacy, the behavior of the king, converting to Chezhidan, divorcing his wife, beating each other with his son, abolishing government affairs, and expropriating and extorting ...... As a result, he was beaten by Ryuzoji Takanobu and the Shimazu family in turn, and completely became a dog.

But in Zhao Gongzi's eyes, his shortcomings are all advantages, and he is simply a perfect Kyushu agent.

~~

Dayou Zonglin, who didn't know that he was cursed by Zhao Gongzi's Great Prophecy Technique, left the 101 ship with a depressed expression, and returned to Menji Port with Daoxue by boat.

"Why is my lord, Zhao Gongzi didn't agree to help?" Tachibana Michiyuki asked.

"Hmm." Otomo Zonglin nodded, looked at the Moji City that he had dreamed of, and asked Youyou, "How many soldiers and horses do you need to conquer this city in ten days?" ”

As Zhao Hao noticed, he felt that it would be a pity to let Maori Liangchuan go like this. If you can eliminate the two good sons of Maori Yuan in this field, it will be like finding something to deal with the Maori family in the future.

"The equipment is sufficient, 100,000 people, you can try it." Tachibana Road snow arrived.

"So many people?" Zong Lin was taken aback, 50,000 people was the limit of what he could mobilize. Where can I find 100,000 people?

"There's Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei in there!" Tachibana Michiyuki said with a natural expression: "It's the tiger of Kai, the dragon of Echigo is here, and he doesn't dare to break the city lightly." ”

After speaking, he suggested: "My lord, let's use them as bargaining chips to extort a sum of money from the Maori family." ”

Tachibana Michiyuki belongs to the kind of old-school samurai who shows no mercy on the battlefield, but after winning the other party, he is unwilling to kill them all.

Seeing that the general he relied on was also in such an attitude, Zong Lin knew that he couldn't force it, and sighed for a long time: "Okay, then don't rush to attack first." ”

"My lord is happy, no matter what, the oath we made back then has come true!" Tachibana Michiyuki grinned and said, "We finally defeated the Maori family, and Ichiyuki is ashamed!" ”

"Haha, that's right!" Zong Lin was really envious of this pure martial artist, so he laughed along, but his smile was a little reluctant.

Alas, after all, I still have to bow to the evil forces......

~~

didn't let Zhao Gongzi wait for a long time, and the envoy of the Maori family soon came to the door to ask for peace.

Zhao Hao didn't talk nonsense, and directly prescribed five conditions.

First, the Maori family abandoned the navy and left the Tamna garrison to take charge of its maritime security. The garrison has the right to inspect all ports in the territory of the Maori family at any time, and the Maori family cannot pass the buck, let alone violently obstruct it.

Second, the Maori family pays 1 million taels of silver to the garrison every year as a protection fee, and if it is necessary to take the initiative with the help of the coast guard fleet, it also needs to pay another 'arrow money'...... That is, military spending. The exact amount depends on the circumstances.

Third, the Mori clan ceded the Oki Island under their jurisdiction to the Tamna garrison area forever as a place for the fleet to be stationed. The garrison has all rights to Oki Island and its attached Nishinoshima Island. The islanders of the two islands should complete the internal relocation within two months, and those who have not migrated after the expiration of the quota will be resettled in the garrison area.

Fourth, the Maori family opened Onsenjin as a direct trading port with the Tamna Chamber of Commerce. In order to ensure that the free trade between the merchants of the two countries was not threatened, the Japanese army should not approach or station the 40 miles around Hot Springs, that is, within 5 miles of Rifa in Japan, no matter where it is, so as to prevent the end of the provocation.

Fifth, the Maori family paid 10 million taels of silver within 10 days to redeem the captured sailors and compensate for the war losses. If you can't pay, you can use Iwami Ginza to compensate.

After listening to Zhao Gongzi's five conditions, Kogoro, the envoy of the Maori family, was stunned.

"This and this, it's too much, isn't it? The Maori referee will not agree. Kogoro forgot to be respectful and protested loudly: "Childe is really difficult for a strong man, and my Maori family really can't do it!" ”

"It's not up to you to judge if you can't do it." Zhao Hao said coldly: "Take it back to Yuan Zhigong and see what he says." ”

"Our conditions have been clarified, your Maori family will make peace if you agree, and if you don't agree, you will fight!" After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Send off!" ”

"This ...... Hi. Kogoro had no choice but to retreat.

As he was about to disembark, he heard several shrill whistling sounds. Hurriedly looked up, and saw several long bamboo arrows dragging red tail flames, taking off from a Ming Dynasty warship not far away, and flying towards Mensi City on the mountain of the ancient city.

Presumably, that is the legendary Oda City rocket. Kogoro said. Although he didn't know why the people of the Ming Dynasty named it after the first beautiful woman in Japan, he had already heard the power of this demonic weapon.

"Don't be afraid, just let it go." Looking at Kogoro, who was pale, Brother Haier, who sent him out, smiled and said: "If it's real, but thousands of pieces are put together, then it's called a spectacular." Hope you'll see it next time. ”

"No, no, I don't want to." Kogoro shook his head vigorously, he knew that the other party was a naked threat, but he was helpless.

Zhao Gongzi stood on the deck, watching Kogoro leave, and waved goodbye to him with a smile. It's like someone else who just opened his mouth.

"Childe, aren't our conditions a bit excessive?" Jinke couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Brother Jin remember." Zhao Hao looked at the opposite side of Chima Pass with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "If one day in the future, let the Japanese defeat us, they will put forward conditions that are hundreds of times more excessive than ours!" ”

"Yes." Jin Ke was terrified. He couldn't imagine how it was possible for the dignified China to be defeated by little Japan. But in any case, it is important to avoid this from happening.

"Our mission is to make this happen never!" Zhao Hao slammed his fist on the railing, as if he wanted to smash the Chima Pass on the other side.

The Japanese kanji pronunciation of the word "between" in "Chima Seki" is "horse", so it is also called "Chima Seki", referred to as "Maguan". In another time and space, it was here that Li Zhongtang, a Manchu pasteur, signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" that compensated 280 million taels and ceded the islands of Taiwan and Pengzhou!

It's really hard to settle!

Zhao Gongzi has to fight a bloody battle here, more or less for this reason.

~~

On Mensi City, those rockets caused a lot of commotion.

The defenders hurriedly carried buckets and ran around to make rounds, and finally found that none of them had entered the city, so they were relieved.

Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa also came to the castle to check on the situation.

"Are they threatening us to surrender?" Kobayakawa said coldly.

"No, they are threatening their father's messengers." Yoshikawa pointed to the ship that was heading to Akama Pass on the other side, and the Maori family's 'one-character three-star flag' on it was very eye-catching.

"Why is my father in such a hurry to negotiate? We can still ......" Kobayakawa said as his voice faded and laughed at himself, "Not for us. The eldest brother is just that, I, an unsuccessful son, am ashamed of my father's love! ”

"Don't say these frustrating things." Yoshikawa patted Kobayakawa on the shoulder and said, "If you feel sorry for your father, then repay him twice as much in the future." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Kobayakawa nodded dejectedly, no longer in high spirits. This misjudgment of the Ming Dynasty caused the Kobayakawa Navy and the Laijima Navy to be wiped out, and the blow to him was too great.

~~

Changfu City, in the residence of the lord of the city.

After listening to Kogoro's relay, all the retainers of the Maori family were furious, and one retainer named Hatano Junyoshi even drew a knife and chopped off his fingers to express his anger at the unreasonable demands of the Ming Dynasty.

Mao Liyuan didn't get angry, but said with a bitter face: "It must be the bald donkey of Otomo Zonglin, the support for the Ming Dynasty, so ruthless......"

Lao Wang on the other side sneezed again, no, it's not me, I don't!

The retainers accompanied and scolded Zonglin for his dead bald donkey, and one by one tasted it, and said in surprise: "Lord, do you want to promise them?" ”

"The old man has no choice." Maori Yuan sighed gloomily.

ps. Tomorrow Zhao Gongzi will return to China in triumph, scattering flowers and asking for a monthly pass!
