After Hirata Masumune finished speaking, everyone present echoed loudly, and the voice was loud as if he was about to lift the roof of the conference hall. Everyone is expressing their determination to fight!

But Liu Dahai knows it in his heart. These responses were all expected by Liu Pei and Aso. So Liu Dahai raised his head and said, "I believe this." When I came, my master said that the Shimazu family would not be willing to fail! So, sooner or later, the two of us will see each other again. But it's definitely not the last few years. Because the Shimazu family has enemies watching, and you have no money to fight! Besides, don't be afraid even if you send a large army again, if we can defeat the Shimazu family once, we can defeat the Shimazu family a second time! ”

As soon as Liu Dahai finished saying this, Hirata Zengzong took out the knife on his waist with a "brush", and took two steps forward to put the knife on Liu Dahai's neck. With this neat movement, I really can't tell that Hirata Masumune is an old man who is dozens of years old!

Hirata Masujong stared at Liu Dahai's eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You actually dare to humiliate the Shimazu family?" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”

The other warriors also drew their swords and aimed them at Liu Dahai. Liu Dahai was nervous at this time. But at that moment, Liu Dahai actually remembered the scene on the boat, where Aso Zhi put the knife on his neck several times. This is all thanks to Liu Pei prompting him to let people put the knife on his neck and feel it. If Liu Dahai encountered this situation for the first time, he might have been scared half to death. When others ask again, they say everything.

Just when Liu Dahai was still thinking about it with a knife around his neck. He surprised Hirata Masumune! Because Liu Dahai was outside the mind at the moment, his face was calm, and there was no fear in his eyes. This made Hirata Masumune think that this was a bold man, and he didn't care that he had a knife on his neck!

So he quickly made a color to Shimazu Tadashi. As a partner for many years, Shimazu Tadashi, who has been paying attention to Liu Dahai's face, immediately understood Hirata's thoughts. He waved his hand and said, "Hirata, don't be unreasonable with the envoy. ”

Hirata Masumune immediately withdrew his sword, bowed to Shimazu Tadahiro, and returned to his original position to kneel. The other samurai also withdrew their swords and sat back on their knees. They were also very surprised! In their minds, a weak person like Liu Dahai should be very timid. Just pull out the knife and put it around their necks, and they will be shocked and even cry bitterly! But the person in front of him didn't care, what a brave man!

At this moment, Liu Dahai also reacted, he forced himself to calmly reach out and touch his neck, then spread his hand and looked at it in front of him, and said, "This samurai is really a good sword technique!" I could already feel the sharpness of the blade, but it didn't

There is a cut of the skin! Sure enough, it is profound! ”

Hirata Masumune owed slightly, indicating that he accepted the compliment. At this time, Shimazu Tadashi said: "The messenger is really bold! It seems that your family should be a great person, too! Well, your lord sent you. What do you want to do? ”

Liu Dahai was completely relieved at this moment, knowing that his life had been completely saved. So he calmly said, "Of course it's for peace!" ”

A samurai sneered and said, "Who would believe that the people who killed us and robbed our territory came here to talk about peace?" ”

Liu Dahai said: "My family is really sincere! Our family has blocked the news of the war to the outside world, and it has not been leaked until now. This should be a sincerity for the Shimazu family, right? If anyone knew that the Shimazu family had sent a large army to fight against a group of pirates and was defeated, wouldn't the reputation of the Shimazu family plummet? ”

Shimazu Tadashi was said by Liu Dahai's face was pale! It's not just a matter of reputation, it's a matter of whether the Shimazu family can stand out in troubled times. At this time, the relationship between allies and enemies can be changed at any time! If someone really heard the news, they might think that the Shimazu family was in decline, and they would take action against the Shimazu family. And if the Shimazu family deals with it unfavorably, it may attract more people to besiege the Shimazu family! At that time, they can't cope with it even if they have three heads and six arms, and then the Shimazu family will be really in trouble!

So Shimazu Tadashi said: "But this is not enough to calm the anger of the Shimazu family!" You know, as a samurai, washing away the shame is the most important thing he should do. So I'd rather send a large army to attack the Ryukyus again. If I defeat you, the shame of the Shimazu family will be washed away! ”

Others listened and echoed Shimazu's statement. Some samurai directly asked to lead a team to fight against the Ryukyus. But Liu Dahai, who was teething, heard what Shimazu Tadashi meant, and Shimazu Tadashi clearly said that this condition was not enough, and he had to add more!

So Liu Dahai ignored these noisy voices. He said slowly: "The second sincerity is that my lord sent me to discuss with you the ransom of those soldiers and ships. The total ransom is 500,000 guan. ”

As soon as everyone heard that the ransom was 500,000 yuan, they immediately shouted again. An old man said sharply: "500,000 guan is enough for us to gather an army of tens of thousands of people." With this money, we can defeat you completely! When the time comes, let you pay us compensation! ”

Liu Dahai said: "You're right! That's a lot of money, but have you ever wondered what will happen to the samurai who are looking forward to returning home? And those ships you can get back

Is it? ”

Those samurai shouted that the Shimazu family was not threatened! Others say that since those people have been defeated, they should have been seppuku a long time ago! There were also demands that a large army be organized to attack the Ryukyus immediately, and there was chaos in the council room!

After listening for a while, Liu Dahai raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he said, "You don't have to be so excited, I haven't finished what I just said. Everyone thinks 500,000 is too much, but I don't think 500,000 is too much. I'm afraid that the ships we captured alone are more than 500,000 guan, right? And those elite soldiers, how much did it cost to train them? If the negotiation fails, it doesn't matter if I die, they will all bury me! And my family also said it. You don't necessarily need to take out this money once, you can pay for Shimadzu's household goods. As long as we can deliver 500,000 pieces of copper and sulfur within a year, we can promise you to send people and ships back first. ”

Liu Dahai's words made the scene suddenly quiet, and everyone was thinking about this problem. All of you here are important ministers of the Shimazu family, not samurai who only know how to slash. They will carefully weigh the pros and cons and make decisions that are best for the Shimazu family.

In fact, they also know that the ransom of 500,000 guan is really not much. Even for the sake of the more than 2,000 soldiers, it is worth spending a sum of money. And the other party is also big, and promised to pay for the goods. If the Shimazu family came forward to purchase goods, it would definitely be much lower than the market price. This is tantamount to giving the Shimazu family a discount in disguise.

And the other party also said very sincerely that as long as the contract is signed, the person can be sent back in a short time, which is a huge good news. This fully avoided the weakness of the Shimazu family.

Seeing that they were silent, Liu Dahai knew that they had listened, and then continued: "My family also said that the focus of the Shimazu family is still in the Japanese country. The Ryukyus were just a useful addition to the Shimazu family. Therefore, the loss of the Ryukyus did not cause much damage to the Shimazu family. Moreover, in order to make up for the losses of the Shimazu family, my family is willing to do business with the Shimazu family. I brought some samples. If it's convenient, please send someone to the inn and pick up a small bag from my servant. ”

Shimazu Zhongheng heard the words and ordered the little surname next to him. Xiao surnamed bowed and walked out quickly, and after a while, he came back with a small burden and handed it to Liu Dahai. Liu Dahai opened the baggage and took out a few things from it to explain to everyone present.

The things he took out were naturally soaps, perfumes and the like. These things were already popular in the upper echelons of the Ming Kingdom. Now it is naturally easy to open up the market of the Japanese country. Hearing Liu Dahai's explanation, the person in charge of money and food was naturally knowledgeable, and his eyebrows were already dancing at this moment, and he couldn't wait to agree immediately.
