Chapter 1436 Land Cession Indemnity
On the gate of Natsu City.
Xu Xiaofeng and Wang Bao chewed dried salted fish.
"Tsukushi Murakami wants to negotiate peace, there won't be a fraud, right?" Treasure Gun asked.
"What are you afraid of, now that we occupy the port and Najin City, we are stable. Let's hear what he has to offer! ”
"Captain, what are you going to do?"
Xu Xiaofeng rubbed his head helplessly, the imperial court had issued an edict prohibiting the plundering of the Japanese kingdom again. Therefore, although their Black Flag Regiment had a looting license issued by the imperial court before, they were actually in a dilemma now.
If you really want to start a war with the Japanese people, you will disobey the will of the imperial court, and the consequences will be very serious.
"If you can, it's better to have a small misunderstanding, so that we can explain it to the court." Xu Xiaofeng is not afraid of widows, what he is worried about is the investigation of the imperial court. Of course, in fact, they could also withdraw directly, but he was not reconciled, and finally took down Najin City.
Xu Xiaofeng didn't think about being like Li Shimin, so he occupied Najin and didn't leave, after all, this Najin is not as good as Lion City, although Najin Port City is not small, but the defense is average. The real strategic advantage is the mountain city and the fortress, the one city and two forts stand in the back of the dangerous place, as long as this can take this city and two forts, then even if he occupies Najin, it is useless.
Besides, now that the imperial court has such an edict, it is unrealistic to want to occupy Najin. Now we can only see if we can knock on Murakami's stroke.
Tsukushi Murakami is still very bold.
Obviously, it was the maritime merchants of the Qin State who raided and seized the port city and the wharf, but as a result, the people sent by the village sent more than a dozen heads first.
Wang Baogun recognized that these people were the guys who had escaped from the tavern before.
The one who came to pass the word was the manager who had been in contact with Xu Xiaofeng before.
He had a bitter gourd face.
"Xu Langjun, what our family master said, it was all a misunderstanding, and it was the following gods who couldn't open their eyes. Now the master of the house has killed them all, and their wives and daughters have been reduced to slaves by their masters, and they will be sent to you to take away. ”
"In addition, our family master also brought me a little gift of confession."
A box opens.
Inside was a chest of gold.
Although these gold ingots are not very pure, they are all real gold, and such a box of gold is still worth a lot of money.
Xu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "Did you misunderstand?" If I come late, I am afraid that my brothers will be besieged and killed in this city. ”
The steward said that you lied to the ghosts, and I didn't know what was happening in this city, even if you didn't come, those guys wouldn't be able to kill those guys, and the head of the family had already heard about what was happening here, and had already sent someone to stop it, but it was just a step too late.
"Please also ask Xu Lang to bear a little more, and forgive me."
Xu Xiaofeng shook his head.
Murakami's attitude surprised him a little, but it also made him more and more determined to knock Murakami hard. Now there are some rat throwers on both sides, and they are more skeptical of the Great Qin court. But relatively speaking, Xu Xiaofeng and his group of Qin people naturally rely on them more.
"Since you want to make amends, you have to be sincere, and I hope that Murakami Kunizo can come to meet in person and discuss in detail."
The Japanese steward wanted to end the matter, but Xu Xiaofeng immediately began to serve tea to the guests.
"It's not difficult to start the war, my ships are anchored in the harbor, the ships are strong and the cannons are sharp, and they can be put into battle at any time, even if they build the Purple Mountain City and the fortress, it is not impossible to take it, I have a god machine general on the ship, and it is a sharp weapon for attacking the city!"
These words directly made the frightened face of the steward a little pale.
Now Tsukushi Murakami's biggest worry is to make things big with the Qin people, if the matter really gets bigger, and then it will become a war between the two countries, and this matter is not something he can solve.
And now that the emperor and the crown prince are still in Daqin, and Yamato has just returned to the Qin State, when Su I Mazi stepped forward, he also revealed the current attitude of the Yamato court towards the Qin State, that is, to respect the Qin State and respect the Son of Heaven.
The steward returns to Chikushiyama Castle and reports to Murakami.
"What does Xu Xiaofeng want?"
"Fight them! I, Zhuzi, am already a vassal of Great Qin, and he Xu Xiaofeng is just a maritime merchant, and he actually dares to attack the city and Hong Kong, and Great Qin will not tolerate them! ”
"Tell the minister, let him make it clear to the Great Qin Emperor, and ask for disposal."
But Tsukushi Murakami didn't say a word.
If this matter is so troublesome that Qin Tianzi wants to play it, he thinks that the final result will definitely not be as they wish, how can Qin Tianzi not defend the Qin people and defend the Japanese people.
"Tomorrow, I will ask Xu Langjun to go outside Najin City for a while!" Murakami finally decided.
A few miles outside Najin City, Tsukushi Murakami and Xu Xiaofeng each brought more than 100 retinues to discuss.
Murakami still insists that this is a misunderstanding caused by a language barrier, and he hopes to clear up this misunderstanding.
Xu Xiaofeng refused to let go easily, and repeatedly threatened Murakami with war.
We talked for a long time.
Murakami continued to raise the compensation for the frightened Qin Shang, but Xu Xiaofeng did not accept it.
"Xu Lang, if you have any requirements, even if you put it forward directly, we should solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if things continue to make trouble, it will not be good for you or me." Murakami was also a little anxious.
"Ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Besides, I can take my men out of Natsu City immediately, but my men are frightened and need to rest for a while. I hope that Kunizuri Murakami will give me Shika Island and Noko Island in Natsu Bay as a place to rest. ”
"Oh, by the way, the sea path that connects Shikashima wants to belong to me."
These demands silenced Murakami.
There are a lot of gold taels, but it's not that you can't afford it.
But he asked to assign the two islands of Shiga and Nogu in Natsu Bay to Xu Xiaofeng, and he was unwilling. The two islands are not very large, and even now there are only a few small fishing villages on them, but Shiga Island is connected by a twenty-mile sandbar that is connected to Tsukushi, a rather peculiar stretching peninsula stuck east of the exit of Natsu Bay.
If Xu Xiaofeng is allowed to control this island, then he will be able to control Najin Bay.
Noko Island is a small island directly in the bay, very close to Natsu Castle.
"I can ask Xu Lang to take the fleet to Xuanjie Island outside the bay for a while." Murakami offered to lend them a temporary recuperation on a small island outside Natsu Bay.
"No, I want Shikashima, and I want Kainakaido. I want to be able to use this island. ”
Murakami shook his head.
After pulling for a long time, in the end Panasonic refused to let go.
"It seems that Murakami is not sincere, so let's not talk about it, Natsu City is actually quite good." Xu Xiaofeng smiled and turned around and walked back.
Murakami frowned.
"Wait a minute."
"I'll give you Xuanjie Island a temporary rest!"
Xu Xiaofeng shook his head, the circumference of Xuanjie Island was only nine miles, a small desert island, he didn't want it.
"I also express my sincerity, Shikashima, plus Hai Nakamichi, I want it, can the island can not be."
"Shikashima is on temporary loan to you!"
"It's okay, Shikashima will give me compensation."
The middle of the sea is about 20 miles long, and the narrow part is only a little more than a mile, and it will even be submerged under the sea at high tide. But after all, the island is very important and much larger.
Xu Xiaofeng wanted to cede the island to the Japanese so that he could apply to the imperial court for colonization.
However, Murakami refused to cede it.
In the end, they talked for a long time, and Murakami was only willing to lend it to Xu Xiaofeng.
In the end, Murakami only agreed to lease Shika Island to Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Xiaofeng has the right of abode and autonomy on Shiga Island, but Shiga still belongs to the Wakoku Tsukushi, and Xu Xiaofeng pays a gold coin to the Wakoku symbolically as rent every year, and the lease, Murakami originally planned to set it for three or five years.
But Xu Xiaofeng wants to set three hundred years.
In the end, it was agreed for a hundred years.
After Xu Xiaofeng rented the island, he could rest the fleet on it, build a house and castle on it, or build a market, etc., and the island was also managed internally by Xu Xiaofeng himself.
In the end, it was agreed that Murakami would compensate Xu Xiaofeng's fleet with ten gold coins each, and after Xu Xiaofeng received the money, he led people to withdraw from Natsu Castle and Natsu Port, and retreated to Shiga Island to rest.
It turned out that the transaction that was negotiated with Xu Xiaofeng and them was still counted and continued to be completed.
In the final analysis, of course, Tsukushi Murakami suffered a big loss this time.
Xu Xiaofeng and the others finally knocked out more than 5,000 gold coins in the village, not to mention, after attacking the city, the money and silk in the city's treasury were naturally looted by them.
Eventually, another island was built.
Even if that island is just a desert island now, after all, an island has been leased to the Qin people for a hundred years, which makes people feel uncomfortable after all.
Xu Xiaofeng waved goodbye to Murakami.
"When the gold coin is delivered, I will lead people to withdraw from Najin City!"
Murakami gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"I'll send it as soon as possible, of course, I don't have so many gold coins in my hand, I'll exchange them for gold, silver, and other silk cloth."
"No problem, as long as it's worth that much gold."
Xu Xiaofeng smiled easily, but Murakami suppressed his anger.
Back in the city, Xu Xiaofeng told the result of the negotiation, and everyone was quite happy.
I didn't do anything, one person can get ten gold coins, this is not a small amount of money, it can be 100,000 yuan.
"While Najin City is still in our hands, hurry up and search all the things in the city. Can't give it cheaply to a small dog! ”
Xu Xiaofeng smiled, "Just take the things in the treasury away, as for those Japanese people, don't move anymore, we have rented Shika Island for a hundred years, and in the future, we will always mix in this Najin Bay, don't make the relationship too stiff." ”
Wang Baogun didn't quite understand.
"Why are we renting them a desert island? Although the location of Nashika Island is very important, and it is necessary to pass in and out of Natsu Bay, but such a deserted island, we can't take it away! ”
"Picking up grass and beating rabbits is also by the way." Xu Xiaofeng said, besides, I think this Najin Port will definitely be more lively in the future, let's seize an island in advance, and we will definitely not lose in the future! ”
"Speaking of which, this time you have a fight, it's worth it, and you will get more than 5,000 gold coins at once, and our ship, five ships of cargo will not have so much income."
"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.
"Sit back and wait for the money!"
