Chapter 858: Okushima
The construction of the navy can not be completed overnight, in addition to the difficulty of building warships, the training of soldiers is a major problem, and it takes a long time and training to truly form combat effectiveness.
It takes a lot of time to build ships and train soldiers, but the situation at sea is ever-changing and ever-changing. The unification of the Ming Dynasty soon disturbed the Japanese and Yi people entrenched in Okushima and Ryukyu.
The two forces were surprised at first, after all, the war in the south had subsided too quickly. The last time they received the news, they just knew that Mao Wenlong in the north had begun to wave his army south, and in just two months, the war had been completely quelled. The speed is unprecedented, and it's no surprise that they'll be surprised.
However, in addition to their surprise, they were more vigilant against the Dongjiang Army's precautions. In particular, the Japanese who had already been defeated took the initiative to come to Okushima for the first time to discuss cooperation with the leader of the Yi people.
Since the last Japanese leader was beheaded by the Dongjiang Army, the current Japanese are not as strong as before, but they are still outstanding on this sea, especially on Ryukyu Island.
At present, the Dongjiang Army and Navy stationed in the waters of Fujian do not dare to easily set foot in the waters of Ryukyu Island, where the Japanese are very difficult to deal with.
The new leader of the Japanese is Taro Shinno, who is in his early forties, but he is already the prince of the island country. The height of 1.6 meters combined with the fat body makes Taro Shinno look like a ball of meat. Especially when he walks around, he looks very funny.
As soon as Taro Shinno came ashore, he saw a bearded man looking at him with a smile. This person Shinno Taro naturally recognizes, it is the leader of the Yi people, Aufu. There is a rumor on this sea that this Auf is a devil, and there is no cargo ship that he has his eye on that will not suffer.
No matter how others rumor about Ofu, Taro Shinno can disdain it, because the two sides have always been well water and do not interfere with river water. If there is no conflict, there is no harm, and if there is no conflict of interests, there will naturally be no hatred.
This time, both sides are facing the threat of the increasingly powerful Dongjiang Navy, and both have a common need to cooperate against the Dongjiang Navy. Although Taro Shinno was the one who offered to cooperate, Aufu did not dare to take advantage of him.
The two talked about cooperation with an extremely sincere heart, so as a landlord, he still did the etiquette that Auf should have.
The two of them exchanged views at the docks for a while, and Auf invited Taro Shinno to join him at his mansion. A stone castle in the Western style stands out.
In the center of the spacious hall is a long oval wooden table, and Aufu warmly invites Taro Shinno to sit down at the main seat. Taro Shinno was not pretentious, and sat down after being polite.
The drinks and food were then served in turn, and when the servants had withdrawn, only Ofu and Taro Shinno were left in the spacious hall. Only then did I see Aufu and smiled: "Mr. Xinye, I'm really sorry for your hard work this time." ”
Taro Shinno looked at Aufu, and a lewd smile appeared on his fat face: "Mr. Auf, you are too polite. This time, the Dongjiang Army directly threatened our two families, and we should not take it lightly. ”
Aufu laughed and said: "The lesson of the past is in front of us, since you and I both know it, then there is nothing to be verbose." I wonder how many troops Mr. Nishino is going to send this time? ”
Shinno Taro frowned slightly, and said a little unhappily: "Mr. Auf, can you first tell me about how many troops you can dispatch?" ”
Auf's laughter stopped abruptly, and his cold eyes looked directly at Taro Shinno, and he snorted coldly: "It naturally doesn't matter how many troops are dispatched. But isn't it too early for us to discuss these? ”
Shinno Taro chuckled lightly twice, nodded unexpectedly, and said, "Indeed, we are now discussing the sending of troops, which is somewhat a sign of weakness. ”
At this moment, the two of them did not even know the strength of the Dongjiang Army stationed in Fujian, but they discussed in advance how many troops they should send. Naturally, it is a manifestation of putting the cart before the horse, and as soon as the two of them reacted, they both began to laugh at themselves.
Auf pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Mr. Xinno, when it comes to being close to Fujian, it must be your Ryukyu Island, do you have to complete this task of spying on the news?" ”
This time Auve said it very tactfully, and he was not as strong as he was at the beginning.
Xinye was also very surprised, he didn't show any anger, but laughed and said: "Of course, the matter of spying on the news is on me." But there are some things that need to be done by Mr. Auf himself. ”
"Oh, what's the matter, Mr. Shinno, might as well be blunt?" Auf was surprised.
"Hong Kong ......"
Taro Shinno pondered for a moment before continuing: "Xiangjiang and Okushima are originally like a family, isn't Mr. Ofu ready to go and persuade your brother to turn against Mao Wenlong and join forces with us to deal with Mao Wenlong together?" ”
Hearing this, Auf frowned, and he smiled bitterly: "If my brother is willing to cooperate with us, then the Dongjiang Army will definitely not be able to run rampant in the sea area here, let alone pose such a big threat to us." ”
"Why did Mr. Auf say that?" Taro Shinno was full of confidence, but he was surprised to get such an answer.
"My brother seems to be controlled by that Mao Wenlong, and he doesn't dare to go against Mao Wenlong's mind in the slightest. I had sent someone to spy on me again a few days ago, but I still found nothing. Alas......" sighed softly, expressing a lot of Auf's helplessness.
Taro Shinno carefully observed Auf for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that he was not lying. From this, it can be concluded that the thoughts in Taro Shinno's heart have been broken.
"In this way, in the future, only the two of us will fight against the Dongjiang Army. And your brother may become our enemy in the future. Taro Shinno said worriedly.
Auf shook his head and said, "It's not sure for the time being, and my brother doesn't know what trick he has to be caught by Mao Wenlong now." If things go well, he will inevitably change his mind in the future, but if it doesn't, as Mr. Nishino just predicted, he will become our enemy. ”
Taro Nishino suddenly said fiercely: "Mr. Auf, you can be sloppy in other things, but you can't take a fluke in this matter." Your brother's matter must be determined as soon as possible, and if you know that he will not betray the Dongjiang Army, then I hope that Mr. Auf will make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Auf hesitated for a while, and finally nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, it's a matter of life and death, and I will definitely not be soft." ”
The hall still echoed with Auf's voice, as if swearing his determination.
