Chapter 569: Fuso Fleet

Yun Xi stood up after they retreated, his eyes looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the wall, his eyes jumped around Jingzhou, Wuchang, Kaifeng and Taiyuan, and finally his eyes fixed on Jingzhou, and said to himself: "It's him." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Then he turned his head and said to Huang Lu: "Send a decree to the king of Xiang and let him start the next month," he suddenly stopped talking again, and said to himself: "No, it's already mid-November, and this year is not a leap year,......

Yun Xi muttered a few more words and ordered: "Let him bring his son to Beijing to see him during the Chinese New Year this year." Forget it, you go to Jin Shan and ask him to draft a holy decree and declare King Zhengdan of Xuanxiang to enter Beijing. ”

Huang Lu didn't know what Yun Xi was thinking, and after hearing his last command, he bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he immediately turned and left the temple.

Yun Xi exhaled, walked to the window and looked out of the window, and noticed that the sun was close to the south, hanging high in the sky and shining on the earth, for the sake of safety, there were no trees in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, so the sunlight shone straight into the glass window, so that Yun Xi, who looked up, hurriedly lowered his head after just a glance. But he was at least sure it was noon.

"It took so long to meet them." Yun Xi sighed with emotion, and then said to Wang Xi: "Inform the imperial dining room that I will have dinner in the Qianqing Palace at noon today." ”

"And let the guards inform He Rong, Zhang Xiaodong and others that they are entering the palace to see me in the afternoon." Yun Xi added another sentence when Wang Xi called a small eunuch to order.

Yun Xi took out Nanyang's recitals from last year and this year in the room, read them for a while, and got up to go to the dining hall to eat.

But on the way, he remembered what Fang Mingqian said about not seeing a large number of pirates in the Yongming Sea, and thought: 'What are these pirates doing?' ’

====

At this time, outside Osaka Castle, there were dozens of people waiting on the pier, as if waiting for some important person.

One of the guards, who was wearing armor and was strong and powerful, but only a little shorter, glanced up at the sun in the sky, and then said to a middle-aged man beside him who was wearing clothes made of silk sold from the Ming Dynasty, "Lord Taizheng, can they come back?" ”

Naturally, he is known as Taisei-sama, and now he is the only one in Jeonfuso who can be called Taisei-sama. After his son Yoshiji became the Empress of Fuso, although he immediately proclaimed himself the king of Fuso to the Ming Dynasty, he still claimed to be the emperor internally, and their family removed the surname and only left the name. He said at this time: "You also saw the people they sent back yesterday, and they agreed to enter the port at this time, why can't they come back?" ”

"My lord, the men who have been sent back have been separated from the brigade five days ago to report the news, and their ships are carrying such things of great value, and if they are captured by the bandits in these five days, then ......," said the man.

"This," Yoshimitsu thought as well. It's quite possible that what he, the bodyguard, said. The fleet they sent was too valuable, not to mention the pirates from the south, even the pirates composed of the local people of Fuso, and even the daimyo of the outer region would come and loot it if they knew about it.

He thought for a moment and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "A ship has entered the harbor!" He immediately looked up.

In a few moments, he saw dozens of ships slowly sailing into the harbor. He immediately became happy, and took an item out of his pocket and said, "Amaterasu bless." But as the boats got closer to the docks, he noticed that most of them were damaged, and he became worried again.

It wasn't until the first ship came to shore and a man he sent out got off the boat to report to him that he relented and said, "Take me up and have a look!" ”

Yoshimitsu and a few guards walked onto one of the largest tonnage and best-looking ships, and let his cronies lift a piece of oiled paper, and suddenly a reflected golden light shone into people's eyes! At this time, the sun was so big that they couldn't open their eyes.

This ship, and all the ships of this fleet, are now full of gold.

Naturally, they were the fleets that Yoshimitsu had sent out to search for gold. In the spring of February this year, the fleet set off from Osaka Port to explore the north. The news he heard from the Ming Dynasty was that the place where gold was produced was named Jinning, further north in Hokkaido; So he teamed up with several daimyo in the Tohoku region to send people to Hokkaido to raid the Ainu to lead the way, and sent a fleet to explore.

They also secretly sent people disguised as fishermen to follow the Ming fleet. However, after arriving in the Kuril Islands, this method did not work: at this time, the fishermen of Fuso did not have a precedent for fishing in such a northerly place, and they would definitely see it.

Later, when the fleet he sent continued north, it encountered ice floes floating from the Beijing Sea (Bering Sea) and sank several ships. In the end, I finally arrived at Jinning and took some gold back.

But the news leaked immediately, maybe there were pirates in the fleet, or maybe someone saw something wrong, anyway, from the time the fleet arrived in Aomori, there were pirates who followed them, and when they arrived in Miyagi, pirates began to attack them. The reason why Fang Mingqian didn't find a few pirates in the Yongming Sea was because these pirates went to the east coast of Fusang to deal with the fleet sent by Yiman. After all, compared with the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the fleet of the Fusang government was easier to deal with.

They managed to fight off the pirates and return here. But when they set out, there were hundreds of ships, large and small, and when they returned, there were only about 30 left.

Yoshimitsu was very happy as he watched them carry boxes of gold, but then he remembered the gold on the ships that had been sunk or plundered by pirates, and his face became bitter again. Yoshimitsu's guards saw that his face was constantly changing.

'Could it be that Lord Taizheng has learned the unique skills of the Daming Bashu people and can't change his face? The guard thought.

After the count, Mitsui Tomokazu said to Yoshimitsu who had served the shogun for generations, "A total of 180,000 taels of gold. ”

"How much!" Two voices rang out at the same time. Yoshimitsu's eldest son, Yoshitomitsu, who had already become the general of Zhengyi, also came here, and exclaimed together with Yoshimitsu at this time.

However, Yoshimitsu immediately thought of the gold on the ship that had been robbed, and he was suddenly a little depressed.

Yoshiji didn't think as much as his father, and he thought about how much gold he could get: 'The great names of his cronies should be divided, and each of them should be divided at least 1,000 taels to win people's hearts; The samurai who were close to the guards and the army were to be rewarded regardless of whether they were big or small; These crew members must have hidden a little, but they also had to be rewarded somewhat. In this way, the gold that can finally fall into the hands of the imperial court can be about 1230,000 taels. ’

After that, it was time to fight with my father for more gold. He glanced at Yoshimitsu obliquely.
