When Jiang De's fleet rushed straight to Muto's flagship and shelled the frigates around Muto's flagship, the surrounding Japanese ships immediately discovered the secret of how to survive - cherish life and stay away from Muto.

Muto Jinyi looked at the Song fleet that was slowly catching up, and he really wanted to jump into the sea to survive now.... If only he could swim.

Muto Jinyi only realized how naïve he was at this time, not to mention the extremely powerful weapon, but the size of the ship, his largest ship in the West Sea Road was actually a cut smaller than the Song ship that caught up, and he knew how much difference the strength of the two sides was.

The worst thing is that this big boat is actually running faster than his own small boat, it is really unreasonable, if Amaterasu appears in front of him at this time, he must catch Amaterasu and ask clearly, who is the real son of God.

Well.... The Muto family, which also has the blood of the Wa royal family, also feels that they are the descendants of the gods like the Wa royal family.

Hell, I know where so many wild gods came from.

"Capture the enemy alive!" Niu Gao, who was wearing battle armor, roared, pressed the trigger hard, and a flying claw shot out of the ballista, which hit the lookout of Muto Jinyi's flagship, and with his roar, more than a dozen ballistas were replaced with flying claws and shot at Muto Jinyi's flagship.

Muto Kimyoshi's ship could no longer escape.

The samurai of the Liangshan Army began to prepare for the broadside with short blades in one hand and short crossbows with good crossbow arrows in the other.

"Quick! Cut those ropes! Muto Konyoshi shrank behind and pushed the samurai beside him hard.

Some samurai rushed forward with a katana and slashed at the taut flying claws, but when they cut down, they didn't cut it, but felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and then looked at the rope, it was actually made of steel wire, and it was elastic, so naturally it was cut continuously.

The samurai wanted to cut again, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw several black shadows, and before he could see clearly, he felt pain everywhere on his body, and when he looked down, he saw that four or five short arrows had been inserted in his body.

Seeing that Liang Shanjun was starting to get on the boat, Yuan Li knew that it was not good, and said to Muto Jinyi, "My lord, the matter is dangerous, for the sake of today's plan, it is better to protect yourself first, please change into light clothes quickly, and jump into the sea with me, the old monk will know the water, and he will be able to protect the safety of the adults." ”

Muto Kanyoshi looked at his clothes distressedly and said, "This is my newly made clothes, and they are made of fine satin." ”

"Ahh When is it? "Yuan Li is so angry that he almost wants to hit someone, if it weren't for his fear of being held accountable in the future, he would want to run away now.

Seeing that Muto Jinyi was still hesitating, Yuan Li said to the samurai next to him, "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, do you all want your adults to be captured alive by the Song people?" ”

"Hey!" The samurai of the Wa Kingdom next to him started directly when he heard it, after all, they can only run if Muto Jinyi runs.

On the deck at this time, there were already Liangshan's sergeants on the boat, Niu Gao held a golden mace in each hand, and he fought when he saw people, several Japanese samurai wanted to use a katana to meet the enemy, but they were all clamped by Niu Gao and the katana was clamped into two, and then a gong hit the head, Niu Gao was killing the rise, and heard a shout, looked back, and saw Yue Fei and others each holding weapons on the boat, it was really a milk tiger roaring valley, and the beasts were terrified; The eagle falcon tried its wings, the wind and dust were blowing, and several young generals killed all the way to the inner warehouse, and Muto Jinyi only changed half of his clothes at this time.

"Haha! Caught! The credit is mine! Niu Gao, who arrived first, laughed loudly and rushed forward, Yue Fei and the others behind did not fight, but just surrounded the other samurai inside with weapons, and when Yuan Li saw Niu Gao, he wanted to resist, but was knocked to the ground by a hammer, and Muto Jinyi was trembling, slumped to the ground, unable to move.

Born in a prince's family, he never dreamed that he would be captured one day.

The sky gradually turned golden, the sun tilted to the west, and Tamamo, who was in the cabin, heard the loud noise outside disappearing, and gestured to the flower carving.

"It's over, it's our victory!" Huadiao smiled and applauded, although Yuzao didn't understand much, but from Huadiao's expression, he understood what was going on, and he also applauded.

"Let's go out and have a look." Hua Diao pulled Yuzao and said.

Came to the deck, under the rays of the setting sun, the entire deck was also covered with a layer of gold armor, Jiang De sat on a chair, Huang Da and Yue Fei stood on both sides, Niu Gao and Cheng Min each pressed a person to kneel on the ground, looking at the sea, countless ship fragments were floating around, and a corpse was constantly rising and falling with the waves of the sea.

"Xiao Langjun, we won?" The flower sculpture flew over like a flower butterfly and asked.

"Victorious, although there are many ships in the Japanese country, they all rely on bows and arrows to defeat the enemy, and they are not our opponents at all." Jiang De replied with a smile, then looked at the two kneeling in front of him and said, "Escort me down and take strict care!" ”

"Yes!"

"Who are these two people?" Hua Diao asked.

"One is the Dazaifu Daiji, and the other is the presiding officer of Kannonji Temple, both of whom are powerful figures in Saikaido, and they came this time because after we opened up the trade route with the Wakoku, their interests have been greatly damaged, you know, all the merchants had to stop their ships in Saikaido before, and the benefits in this are enough for them to start a war." Jiang De looked at the two people who were pressed into the bottom warehouse and said.

"Big brother, what should we do next?" Yue Fei asked.

"Yue Fei, tell me about it, if you are me, what should you do?" Jiang De asked rhetorically.

Yue Fei thought for a moment, and then said, "I just listened to the interrogation of the eldest brother, this person is just the second in command of Xikaidao, that is, the second-in-command, the real chief official of Xikaido is Dazai, I think no one will want to be a puppet, and the eldest brother can make a deal with that Dazai." ”

Jiang De said with a smile, "That's a good point, but this war made me understand one thing, any important land on the trade route should be in my own hands, and I think such an important place as closing the gate should also be classified as a concession." ”

"Closing the door is a battleground for soldiers, how can the Japanese state be willing?" Yue Fei asked in disbelief.

Jiang De looked at the sunset, and said with the corners of his mouth curled, "When I was a child, I heard my father say that there was a great man who said this, the rope that hangs the capitalists, they will sell it to us by themselves, and it is the same here, even if they know that this is the rope that will hang them, as long as the benefit is there, they will obediently send the rope to us." ”

"Capitalists?" Yue Fei had a question mark on his face.

"Uh... You can understand it as a big businessman. Jiang De thought about it, but didn't find any ready-made examples, so he briefly explained, of course, the difference between the businessmen at this time and the capitalists of later generations is probably the difference between the bullet and the atomic bomb.

- Dazaifu

"Zhou Li" said: The position of Dazai. The Six Canons of the Founding State. To rule the kingdom of the king.

As the name suggests, Dazaifu is an official government in charge of hundreds of officials, and Dazaifu was first established in the Sui Dynasty, more than 500 years ago.

Dazaifu not only oversees the military and civil affairs of the Saikaido, but also has the function of diplomatic management, so it can be said that it is a small government, and the reason for this is that the Saikaido is the closest to the mainland, and it is the most vulnerable to the impact of mainland pirates, defeated soldiers, merchants and other forces, and because of this, the Wa Kingdom has been hoarding heavy troops and a large number of materials here.

Five or six hundred years have passed, and the imaginary foreign enemy has not appeared much, the people's hearts have dispersed, and the team is not easy to bring, the original Dazaifu Dazai is a member of the royal family appointed by the Wa royal family, but when it comes to Sugawara Michizane, this position has become the subordinate of the minister who was demoted to the Wa Imperial Court.

For example, Sugawara Michizane, who was later called the god of learning by the Wa Kingdom, died two years after being demoted to Dazaifu as the commander of Dazaifu.

At this time, the Dazai Quan Shuai was Fujiwara Wanji of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Wanji was not so much a nobleman of the Japanese kingdom as a poet, and he was singing and drinking with a group of people in his house at this time, composing poems and songs, so unhappy.

Just as he was happy, a person hurriedly broke in outside, and a slippery step knelt on the ground and shouted, "My lord, it's not good, Lord Da II has been defeated, our army has suffered heavy losses, and Lord Da II has also been arrested." ”

"What?"

"Impossible!"

"God made in heaven!"

A group of Japanese magnates at the banquet were taken aback, although some of them did not participate in this matter, but they all heard about it, how could a team of hundreds of warships be defeated?

"How were you defeated?" Fujiwara asked.

"We... We don't know what's going on either. "This defeated soldier was clearly a little flustered" There was thunder everywhere, the ship would break before it approached them, and our ship crashed into it as if it had hit an iron plate, and it was not an opponent at all. ”

Although it was a bit messy, everyone still understood.

That is, the enemy is terrible.

"That's... Are those people gone? Someone asked timidly.

"Report !! Report to your lordship, there is an enemy army pressing the border! ”

"What?"

- Closed Ports

Located between Seikaido and Honshu, the port of Kanmon is the place where the open sea meets the Seto Inland Sea, and the narrowest point here is less than 800 meters, so it can be said that if you control this place, you control the entire Seto Inland Sea.

At this time, it was already night, but a little light could be seen on the dark sea, and Fujiwara Wanji and others knew that it was the legendary sailor under the command of the Marquis of Pingyin.

"That's good." Fujiwara Wanji looked back at the defeated troops who were still disembarking, and the faces of these defeated troops were full of fear, and they couldn't fight anymore.

"My lord, for the sake of today, it is better to report to Heianjing as soon as possible, and the court has reconciled, I heard that this Marquis of Pingyin has just taken a large piece of land from the court as a place for trade, I don't think he will be willing to fight to the death with me." Someone next to him said.

"Yes, yes, if we can make peace, we should still talk about peace."

A group of princes around said yes, and Fujiwara also nodded, thinking that this was a solution.

"Look, there's flames!" Someone pointed and said, and before everyone could see clearly, they heard bursts of thunder.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang !!"

"Run!" "Thor is angry again!"

The defeated soldiers below heard this familiar voice, they all knew what was going on, and immediately fled in all directions, Fujiwara Wanji was strange, and saw a black shadow hit the mast of a closed ship, and the mast was instantly broken into two, Fujiwara Wanji compared himself with the hardness of this mast, and immediately understood why these sergeants had to flee for their lives.

Or the mast is harder.

The scattered shelling continued for a night, and no one in Dazaifu slept that night, and they were all terrified that if they fell asleep, they would have a knife on their necks when they got up.

Fujiwara Wanji's eyes were red, and with the help of the rising sun, he finally saw the appearance of his opponent clearly, dozens of ships lined up in a row, looking extremely imposing, and the ships that stayed in the closed port had been destroyed by two or three out of ten, and many ships escaped by taking advantage of the night, and they didn't know whether to defect to other places or to become pirates.

Want... Don't you dare to be a pirate?

After all, I'm afraid that this sea route will be full of ships like this on the other side in the future.

"Look, my lord, a ship is coming."

"Quick! It must be the messenger who makes people receive carefully, quickly, prepare the best food and wine, and women! Fujiwara's mind was still very good, and he immediately guessed the intention of coming to the ship.

——

"What? Building a city on both sides of the port of Guanmen? This.... That's impossible! Fujiwara Wanji shook his head as he listened to the calmly-looking messenger below.

"My lord, my general is extremely annoyed by the interception and killing, and now this result has been the result of persuasion by the people around me, if my lord doesn't give my general a proper reply, I'm afraid something unbearable will happen."

"Even so, I can't give you the land of my country to build a city, not to mention that even if I want, I need Heiankyo's permission!"

"Adults would like rivers of blood to flow, should they do the same? In the final analysis, this matter is all unreasonable for you in the first place, and our army has suffered heavy losses because of this incident, so isn't it a matter of course to ask for some compensation? ”

Fujiwara stammered a little, "This matter... This matter..."

"Whew.... Since this is so difficult, let's do it another way. The messenger looked up and smiled, "We are willing to build two new fortresses for Dazaifu as compensation for this battle, and the construction of the fortresses must be completed by us, and the necessary funds for the new fortresses will be paid by you, how about it?" ”

"Help us build a fortress?" Fujiwara Wanji didn't react a little, why did he want to help the Japanese country build a fortress in turn?

"That's right! But... I am afraid that there will be a pirate invasion of this newly built fortress, and my general thinks that in order to ensure the smooth completion of this fortress, it is the best choice for our army to send some sergeants to guard it. ”

Yes, I see, this fortress may not be built in a hundred years.

"My lord, my general is in a hurry, I told me before I came, only give my lord two hours to think about it, and once two hours have passed, then you can only return blood for blood." The envoy smiled and said, "I don't think my lord wants the Fujiwara family to suffer from the reproach of the imperial court, right?" ”

The last sentence completely crushed Fujiwara Yuanji, at this time the Fujiwara family had greatly reduced its power in the hands of Shirakawa, and at this time it was on the line of Pingyin Hou, who knows whether it is good or bad.
