Liu Pei laughed when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Abe." Why didn't you say yes? You know, I'm the one who has the upper hand right now! ”
Abe Zhongchu said in a deep voice: "It is indeed His Excellency the Dragon King who has the upper hand now, but don't forget, you are now challenging a country!" If this country gathers all its strength, you will not be able to resist it. ”
Liu Pei said: "Mr. Abe is only partially right. I'm not challenging the entire Wakoku now, but the Tokugawa family! I guess there are a lot of big names who will be happy to support me now, right? ”
Abe Mid-Autumn heard this, and his heart was sudden! It seems that this pirate is also very clear about the internal form of the Wa Kingdom. However, Abe Zhongqiu still said calmly: "What you said does have some truth, but don't forget one thing, you are not from my dynasty." And in the face of foreign enemies, the people of our dynasty will unite no matter what. ”
Liu Pei nodded and said, "This is not bad!" But did Mr. Abe think about it, what would I do if the Tokugawa family didn't agree to my conditions? ”
Abe Nakatsuya smiled and said, "I guess I'll continue to fight!" But I still want to remind you that fighting a country is not something that a small group of you can afford to live! ”
Liu Pei slapped his face and said, "Mr. Abe is right! Fighting against a country, I really have no chance of victory! But I can keep you bleeding! Or let the Tokugawa family continue to lose blood! ”
Abe Zhongqiu just wanted to interject, but was stopped by Liu Pei raising his hand. Liu Pei continued: "I know that your Wa Kingdom can still assemble a large fleet, but I will not make contact with your fleet. As long as your fleet is scattered, I will eat small fleets. If you do not disperse, I will attack your coastal cities. If it drags on like this, I still don't have a chance to win. But I don't need to defeat the Tokugawa family, I just need to weaken the Tokugawa family, and I'm afraid that there will be many daimyo who will be willing to support me in fighting against the Tokugawa family, so that they can take the Tokugawa family's place! ”
Abe's face turned blue when he heard this, and he finally became unnatural. Liu Pei's words hit his soft underbelly! Not long after the time when the daimyo fought against each other, there were many old people who survived the Warring States period who lived in seclusion in their respective families and held great power. For example, some people like Tokugawa Hidetada, their ambitions to go to Rakuro have never been extinguished! If you have a chance, you don't need Liu Pei to contact them, I'm afraid they will contact Liu Pei!
And Abe Mid-Autumn Festival also knows in his heart, and he also knows that the condition just now is that Liu Pei is asking for a price in the sky, and he only needs to land and pay back. But it is very uncomfortable for one's own weakness to be nakedly pointed out and threatened by others.
In fact, the second point proposed by Liu Pei, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival is inclined to agree, because the advantage of pirates is that they are adrift, they don't know where their lair is, and they can't attack directly. If Liu Pei manages Hokkaido as his own nest, it will be tantamount to exposing another weakness of his own.
And in the future, when he takes root in Hokkaido, when the Tokugawa family uses the power of the whole country to deal with a corner of Hokkaido, it will naturally be no problem! I can't say that the technology of shipbuilding and cannon casting can be mastered!
But Abe Chukuto definitely can't say that. He fixed his mind and said, "I don't think the Dragon King should be talking nonsense!" It's just that if you want such a high condition, the dragon king should also have a certain amount of reliance, right? The Dragon King might as well talk about other conditions that are favorable to my family. ”
Liu Pei gave a thumbs up and said with satisfaction: "Mr. Abe is really worthy of the Tokugawa family, and he can see both sides of the matter at a glance!" ”
Liu Pei did feel a little emotional at this time. Abe Mid-Autumn Festival was able to think clearly about all aspects of things in a very short period of time and deal with Liu Pei calmly, which shows that this person is very talented! And Liu Pei's subordinates are now very short of talents who are in charge of themselves. Although these people are working hard now, if they want to be on their own, it will take some time to experience.
Liu Pei eased his nerves and said, "I do have some conditions for exchange. The first thing is that before the Tokugawa family's sailors are rebuilt, anyone who provokes the Tokugawa family from the water will be attacked by me! Second, I have beaten the Dutch. And will continue to fight them. In that case, it would be much easier for the General to deal with those Catholics, right? And I can take all the trading shares they vacate on the day. ”
Liu Pei said this, Abe Mid-Autumn Festival is really tempted! Now that the Tokugawa family's sailors have been wiped out, they are in dire need of strength to maintain calm on the sea. If Liu Peiken helped, he would have given the Tokugawa family enough time to rebuild the water division, even if it was a little slower.
The second point is also beneficial to the Tokugawa family. Due to the very strict hierarchy of the Wa Kingdom, the status of the commoners was very low, and it was difficult for them to rise. So there are always people who desire change. At the time of trade between the Netherlands and the Japanese countries, they brought Bibles with them.
Those white-skinned people who claim to be civilized people always want to spread their culture all over the world, and of course they have to preach when they arrive in the Japanese country. And there really are people who believe the false teachings of the Bible first! But they don't want to think about how those Dutch people can believe when they read the Bible and never act on its instructions?
However, as many people at the bottom began to embrace Catholicism, they were taken advantage of by some people who wanted to change or had ambitions. They actively proselytized, expanded their congregation, amassed money, and became more and more influential, directly in conflict with the religions and daimyo of the Mast's native country.
The local religion of the Wa Kingdom has always been in collusion with the local daimyos. Even some of the larger religions can appear in the image of a daimyo of one side. The famous Honganji family is one of the representatives.
Of course, these native religions do not welcome foreign religions to rob their followers, because that would mean losing money and power. And the daimyo did not want foreign religions to disturb the local order. So these native sects and daimyo of the Wa Kingdom united to suppress the Catholics. The two sides had an unpleasant quarrel. Although the daimyo were very unhappy, they did not take drastic measures because of the large number of Catholics.
And in the near future, there will be an uprising of Catholics in the Wa Kingdom. It also took a lot of effort for the Tokugawa family to put down the uprising.
In fact, Abe Zhongqiu has agreed with Liu Pei's statement in his heart. However, he still said calmly: "Is there only these two points? If that's the case, you're being dishonest! You have made four demands like us, but you are only willing to pay two things to compensate. I'm afraid this can't be justified, right? ”
