The opening of the Age of Discovery, coupled with the large amount of silver in Japan, made Japan a mature and beautiful weak beauty in this era, the kind that everyone covets.

The season has not yet yielded real trade fruits, but it has given the villagers of Nagasaki, a coastal fishing village, hope for the coming year. They are busy building a new wharf to accommodate the future docking of large ships of the Song Kingdom.

They don't understand, but they hear that it will bring development and benefits to this small fishing village.

So the whole village went into battle with their families, carrying stones and wood, cooperating with the stacking, and so on, in order to get a very good wage for them.

The humble engineering command post is a simple shed, where two construction engineers from Beijing, the Song Kingdom, point to the drawings and communicate with each other.

An eight-year-old girl dressed in patched clothes, carrying a broken jar, carefully brought water to the two learned engineers, and said, "We don't have any tea here, and the two adults have to drink plain water." ”

The engineers of the two Song Kingdoms looked disgusted, in fact, they were very familiar with this little girl, and said in Japanese: "Jiubingwei, raw water can't be drunk, go and help us boil it, I suggest you drink boiling water too." ”

"Hey." The little girl had to go out with the jar again. In Japan, even firewood is expensive, so where can I drink boiled water? But my mother said that she couldn't treat these Song people badly, and that this fishing village would change because of them.

In the eyes of the Kubei, they were quite noble people, and the Nagasaki Political Office sent samurai to protect them. Those two samurai were even equipped with swords? Awesome.

Yes, Japan's forging technology is indeed special, but the productivity is very low, and it is in the stage of low output in the smuggling, and the armor and swords produced are indeed high-class goods, and at the same time, they are luxury goods, not ordinary people can have. It is basically a luxury for ordinary people to have good knives, so firewood is also in short supply.

Kubei only had a wooden knife, which her father had made for her.

Now, Jiubei earns money as a helper on the construction site, and because she only counts one-third of the work, she has a copper coin a day to subsidize her family, and she is also practicing swordsmanship, and one day she wants to take on the responsibility of protecting the fishing village. If you can be hired as a samurai by the dock and sea office, you will be able to survive it. Can raise a mother and younger brother.

As for Daddy, he was already dead, killed by pirates when Kubei was five years old. Kubei didn't know those people, and his mother didn't say anything about the specifics......

The weather on the beach was cold at the beginning of October, and this month Kubei officially entered the age of nine.

In addition to practicing swords, she likes to pick up shells in Haibian, so that she can make some trinkets and sell them to Song merchants who have a good way, and they will bring them into Heianjing or Song Kingdom to exchange money, so that they can also subsidize part of the family.

At this time, two small sea boats approached, and more and more people came to the beach in small boats.

One of the leaders had a scar on his face, and he wore very little with his chest exposed.

So Jiubei said: "The weather is cold in October, uncle, you will get sick if you wear less, and if you are sick, you will have to spend money on medicine to see a doctor." The samurai should take care of their bodies at all times, do not drink raw water, and do not catch a cold. ”

Smack-

The scar-faced man slapped him, and the Nine Guards screamed and fell to the beach with blood in their mouths.

When his subordinates drew their knives and tried to kill the nine soldiers, Scarface grabbed them again and said, "Take this girl and enter the village." ”

So the nine guards screamed, and they were pinched by the neck and pulled up and clamped under their armpits. She tried to draw the wooden knife, but the wooden knife was broken by the men. She also tries to pick up the shells that have fallen on the beach, but the shells are kicked away by the men.

So the only thing she could do was cry, she couldn't understand what these people were saying, but she vaguely felt that this kind of person killed her father......

Two samurai from the Nagasaki Shoko were killed by a scarface with a big waist and a round waist. The two Song engineers were protected and hid in the cellar of the Jiubing Guard's house, not daring to come out.

The rest, young and old, were driven to the open field and gathered. Surrounded by more than ninety Jurchen warriors.

"You inferior pariahs, you have repeatedly warned that you are not allowed to cooperate with the Song people and not to trade with the Song people. If you dare to do bad things, there must be a price! ”

Scarface is like a leader on patrol, and he is lecturing the old and young in the fishing village.

Most people keep their heads down and don't dare to gnaw.

Kubei's mother hugged a younger boy, knelt on the ground and cried, "Please let my family Kubei go...... Yes! ”

Before the woman could finish speaking, she was hit with a stone and her mouth was full of blood. It seems that the Jurchen of the so-called stone civilization is not covered, and is really a natural master of stone throwing.

In this way, this group of cowardly fishermen was completely intimidated.

One of his subordinates leaned in and whispered, "Don't delay, take your belongings as soon as possible, kill these untouchables and retreat." ”

Another subordinate approached and said: "It's not too much to do, the worst is the Song people, just let them hand over the Song engineers who are hiding and execute them." ”

Scarface shook his head and said, "There's no need for this, don't mess with the Song people for the time being." ”

"What about them?" The subordinate pointed to the two hundred villagers.

Scarface thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to kill them, it's better to stay, they'll spread the space." ”

"Where is the fear of not killing?" One of his subordinates asked.

"Ahh

With a scream, the scar-faced man stabbed a sharp knife into the small body of the nine soldiers in front of the villagers.

The blood kept flowing on the ground, like killing an animal, and the small body of the Nine Soldiers was pinched by the neck and hung in the air, convulsions for a while, and the blood flowed more and more, and finally stopped moving.

Fear is really starting to spread across the board.

The Jurchen pirates did not kill any more people, did not look for the Song engineers who were hiding, but only swept away the small amount of property of the villagers, and at the same time set a large fire, burning their homes and the docks that were under construction.

This humble fishing village has ushered in a disaster......

"Wan Yan Jin, this dog that shakes its head and tail!"

It was even colder in the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and Xiao Hui, who was holding a banquet at home like an emperor, was scolding after receiving the report from his subordinates: "The prime minister has repeatedly emphasized that you must not use excessive means, do not land in Nagasaki to cause sabotage, that is the port of the Song people, that is the Song concession!" ”

The hall is extremely luxurious, full of pot-bellied magnates and fair beauties, and there are expensive carpets everywhere.

But everyone was silent for the first time, and their expressions were extremely strange.

Theoretically, after speaking, Yan Jin has indeed converged? Only one person was killed this time, and it was really hard for those savages. When he could find the Song people, he didn't waste time to find the Song people, and left before the samurai of the political work office intervened.

But I really didn't expect that it would win the wrath of Old Xiao Xiangye like this?

Lao Xiao's momentum is now greater than a while ago, because he is easing his relationship with Yelu Hongji, and he has begun to evaluate Yelu Chongyuan, the Pingzhang Shi of Beifu. In addition, the last time in Goryeo, the Great Liao State did not lose its national character, safeguarded the silver interests of the Great Liao, and did not cause the Bohai Sea conflict, and also tested the Song State's intention to export steam engines and disarm.

This can be regarded as Lao Xiao further reused, becoming the first assistant of Yelu Hongji and the deputy privy envoy of Jiabei Mansion.

At this point, when he was proud of the smash hit, he couldn't have imagined that he would angrily denounce Yan Jin in public as a dog with a head and tail? Damn, isn't that his old Xiao's descendant?

"Bad luck, these traffickers who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

Lao Xiao lifted the table and walked in the hall. At this point, it was tantamount to declaring the end of the banquet, and the low-level personnel who had nothing to do with it retreated.

A Han strategist said, "Why is Xiangye so angry? The Jurchens did not kill much. ”

Xiao Hui sighed and said, "It depends on the person!" He was too arrogant to do things, and of course deterrence and warnings were needed, but he put on a clear 'Jurchen was instructed by the Liao State to visit here' style, and executed an unarmed little girl. The result I want is to throw a rat trap, to delay the strategy of the Song State, not to break face with the Song people! Not to mention stirring up the hatred of the entire Japanese race! ”

After a pause, Lao Xiao muttered: "These idiots with a single brain will mess with the world sooner or later." Which pot is not opened, which pot he mentioned. Wang Yan started the battle of suppressing bandits in the northwest because of a little girl from the grassland, and gradually encroached on the strategic depth of the entire northwest. ”

Lao Xiao slapped the table everywhere and said: "So the old man is sure that this time Wang Yan must jump his feet and take the opportunity to make trouble." Even if Wan Yanjin executed the entire fishing village, including the Song people, the impact would definitely not be so bad. ”

"Because at least speaking, King Song knew who did it, but he didn't have a reason to be angry. This led to suspicion and tug-of-war within Wajima, delaying Song's investment plans. ”

The staff said curiously: "Why does Xiangye think that such a Song State's investment plan will be delayed or even bankrupt?" ”

Xiao Hui sighed and said, "If there are many dead people, the untouchables of Wadao will be afraid." And the death of a little girl is not necessarily afraid, but more likely to have the same hatred. In addition, if there are many people who die, and Song Guo can't find the person responsible, there is no reason to be angry, then he will not dare to invest heavily without a garrison. However, at that time, if the garrison was forcibly garrisoned, it would encounter internal resentment from Wajima, which was a dilemma for Wang Yan. Now it's the other way around, and the untouchables of Wajima are not afraid, but angry. It also allowed Song Guo to find the person responsible, if this matter is done properly, I am afraid that the untouched people of Wadao will cry and shout and take the initiative to ask Song Guo to garrison. ”

"Once it is garrisoned by the Song State on Wa Island, it will be the loss of our Great Liao hegemony. What do we do then, pretending not to know? Or is it a verbal accusation? Or did they really send troops to war with the Song State? The more Xiao Hui spoke, the angrier she became.

The staff said: "Now that the disaster has been broken, it is really not the time to blame the Jurchens, and they still need to be used." It is obvious that the Koreans are also unreliable, they will cooperate with your Bohai strategy but will not use force, Li Ziyuan and Li Xiahui are not good things, they have their own calculations. The only high-efficiency thugs who can really go into battle shirtless as a vanguard fighter and control the rise of the Song State in the entire East China Sea are the only Jurchens. He suggested that Xiang Ye immediately start diplomacy with Song, appease him with appropriate small interests, and delay the onset of Song Guoyong. ”

Xiao Hui nodded after thinking about it and said, "This step must be taken, but don't expect success." With the temper of the Great Demon King, when he encounters this matter, he will close the diplomatic mouth and refuse to negotiate, and it just so happens that the politics of the Song Kingdom were torn apart a while ago, and the diplomatic jurisdiction temporarily fell into his hands. Don't really think that he is a person who likes to negotiate, you see that at that time, the northwest suppressed bandits, sent troops to Qingtang, and finally went to the Great Wall. His style is usually to finish the work and start pretending to be forced to conduct so-called negotiations, so can it be called negotiations? That's called the program. ”

Saying that, even if he didn't have hope, Xiao Hui still sent a diplomatic letter to Wang Yan of the Daimyo Mansion in the honor of the Liao State Prince's Mansion. As long as Wang Yan signed and replied, Xiao Hui's envoy could go to the Song Kingdom to begin negotiations on the matter.

However, if Wang Yan did not reply to the letter, the envoy of the Liao State would not be able to cross the border and would have to go in other capacities. But how dare you, who planned this thing now is a bald worm, it is Xiao Hui of the Liao State, if there is no formal diplomatic formalities to protect it, Xiao Hui's envoy enters the Song State as an ordinary person, and he will definitely be detained by the people of the secret service.

This kind of thing will not appear during the Sima Guang period, but Wang Yan will do it. When Xiao Hui saw Wang Yan in Goryeo, she was very sure that she was a scumbag, unconventional and ruthless person. Xiao Hui understands that kind of eyes, which are the same as Xiao Hui herself, and it is really not an elegant literati fan.

Yes, there is no way, the diplomacy of the Song and Liao can only go this way. For other excesses, there was no need for others, for example, as long as there was muscle, Wang Yan could sail the warship into Kaijing Port without waiting for a reply. Because that is not called diplomacy, a weak country has no diplomacy in the first place.

The current Song Kingdom is really not Wuxia Ameng, and it is uncertain whether they will pay the fee for the Yuan Yuan New Year next year. It's really that he didn't pay it, and there was nothing he could do, the 300,000 silver was a lot of money in the Lanyuan period, and now it's like that, it's not worth fighting for this money.

Originally, according to the logic of the bandits and the laws of history, this year should be the time to renegotiate and demand an increase in the New Year's coins. Unfortunately, due to the increasing size of the Song Kingdom, there was no room for negotiation. Damn, can they not tear up the agreement, even if they have the spirit of the agreement, and still want to add money?

After writing a handwritten letter to the Great Demon King, Xiao Hui stamped the guard and immediately sent someone to send it.

It's just a process, and it doesn't matter whether Wang Yan responds or not. Even if he responds, it is basically impossible for the envoy to negotiate the result.

So at the same time, Xiao Hui wrote another document to the Jiaozhi Emperor Li Rixian, handed it to his confidant, and said: "Send it to the Jiaozhi country quickly." The opportunity for moderation is not at sea, but in the south. ”
