Shang Xin listened to Du Ziteng settle accounts for him, and refreshed the price of the bottom line in his heart again and again. Fastest updates

When he heard that the weapons, armor, ammunition and other losses needed by the Changxing army to send troops to Ryukyu would have to be paid for by Ryukyu, he could no longer sit still.

"Mr. Du, come slowly! Aren't there already firearms, swords, guns, and armor equipped by the Changxing sergeants! Why does this also need to be purchased by Xiao Wang? Shang Xin asked cautiously.

Du Ziteng was not in a hurry at all, he explained to Shang Xin: "His Royal Highness the Prince! First of all, these soldiers are all willing to help His Highness expel the Japanese Invaders! Shang Xin nodded.

"Secondly! If you want to defeat the vicious pirates, you need better armor, and that's right! Du Ziteng continued to talk nonsense.

Shang Xin nodded again, the widow was cruel enough to sleep with his daughter, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only leave his family and run alone.

"Even if the Changxing Army subdues the Japanese Invaders, it is difficult to guarantee that the Wolves will not retaliate in the future. When these weapons are used up, they will be handed over to His Highness to form his own army to defend the Ryukyu Kingdom from the Japanese invaders in the future. Du Wisteria threw a big bait.

Raise your own army? Shang Xin's heart beat violently for a while, if he had such a force as the Changxing Army, why would he be bullied to such a situation by the Japanese Bandits.

Build! Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to build it! Shang Xin nodded without hesitation, with an army, he was the king of Ryukyu who had no ancients before and no one after him.

When Shang Xin was dumbfounded when he heard Du Ziteng's final offer, he trembled his lips and said, "Thirteen million taels ......" So much silver can't be taken out even if the whole Ryukyu is sold, when will this be repaid? As soon as Shang Xin thought of this, his eyes turned black for a while, and he might faint at any time.

Seeing that Shang Xin might faint at any time, Du Ziteng hurriedly took out a contract and put it in front of Shang Xin.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, my family will not be too merciful to His Royal Highness. If you look at this contract, as long as you sign it, the Changxing Army can send troops to help you drive out the Japanese and recover your homeland. Du Wisteria followed the good path.

Shang Xin sobered up a little at this time, and he carefully checked the contents of the contract one by one.

I saw that it was written: In the spirit of humanitarianism, the Yoshimin of Changsheng Island volunteered to form an army to help the Ryukyu Kingdom expel the Japanese and recover their homeland.

Therefore, all the expenses of this expedition were borne by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the total amount of silver was 13 million taels.

Since the Ryukyu Kingdom could not afford this cost, the following treaty was concluded.

First, the Ryukyu Kingdom lent the islands other than the main Ryukyu Island to Changsheng Island for a hundred years, and the people on the loaned islands could sell their property to Changsheng Island within two years, and those who did not move out on time were deemed to have voluntarily joined Changsheng Island and were no longer residents of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Second, the Ryukyu Kingdom was required to hand over 100,000 taels of silver to Chosei Island every year for a hundred years (which could be traded with grain).

Third, Changsheng Island and the Kingdom of the Ryukyus set up consulates in each other, granted each other the most-favored-nation status, and allowed merchants of Changsheng Island to do business in the Kingdom of the Ryukyus.

Fourth, the consulate of Changsheng Island has consular jurisdiction, and the Ryukyu Kingdom does not have the right to execute the people of Changsheng Island.

Fifth, Immortal Island is obliged to help the Ryukyu Kingdom build up its own army and help the Ryukyu Kingdom train a navy of no less than 10 warships.

After reading the first four Shangxin's chests, he felt stuffy for a while, which was too heartwarming. In the next 100 years, I will have nothing but the main island of the Ryukyus, and after a hundred years, Changsheng Island will not all depend on the mood of others.

When he saw the fifth article, he felt a little better, the navy is the sailor who doesn't want it.

It is a disaster for the island country to have no sailors, and the few small boats in their own country were swept away by the warships of the Japanese country, and the last one on Changsheng Island was simply a sweet and crisp jujube for Shang Xin.

He couldn't help but look up and ask, "Mr. Du!" These ten ships are Xiyi big ships? ”

Du Ziteng's face suddenly turned cold, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be joking!" There are only more than ten of that kind of big ship, so how can it be possible to form a navy for the Ryukyus? ”

Shang Xin's face collapsed when he heard this, and he thought about it. It must be sea ships such as Haicang and Fu Chuan, and I still think too much.

"But! There is still no problem with the Flying Fish Clipper built for His Royal Highness the Prince, Changsheng Island, and there is still no problem," Du Ziteng added when he saw Shang Xin's face collapse.

Exocet Clipper? Shang Xin had seen this kind of fast boat, and he took this kind of fast boat last time he went to the capital.

It was as fast as speeding on the sea, twice as fast as a normal clipper. Moreover, this kind of clipper is also equipped with twelve guns, which is not only fast but also very powerful.

This kind of speed, firepower, and few sailors were the most needed clippers in the Ryukyus, and they were much more practical than the large plywood ships that required hundreds of men to operate.

Just as he hesitated, Du Ziteng whispered in his ear: "Your Royal Highness! What are you waiting for? Ten flying fish? Only Immortal Island can be built, and this is a good thing that can't be bought with silver. The artillery on it is complete, and if you get it, you will have ready-made combat power! ”

Shang Xin's heart was on fire when he thought of the ten Flying Fish clippers. He gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard, "Bring the pen!" ”

Zhang Dou was lying on the table in his study looking at the nautical charts of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was the future Okinawa of the Japanese Kingdom.

Later generations were forcibly occupied by the Japanese kingdom and finally included in their territory. Now that it is about to fall into his pocket, Zhang Dou is confident that Ryukyu will become a place under his rule in less than a hundred years.

Just then, Du Ziteng ran in from outside. As he walked, he said, "Great! Exultation! Exultation! ”

When Zhang Dou heard his voice, a smile appeared on his face. You don't need to ask Zhang Dou to know that the negotiation with Shangxin must have been a great success.

The bottom line for Du Ziteng is to cut off at least half of the land in the Ryukyus, so that the people of Liaodong can be immigrated in the future.

In the future, he will have a foundation, and he will no longer have to worry about the imperial court cutting off food and salary, and there will be no tragedy of more than 100,000 people starving to death on Phi Island.

With a solid rear, he can also fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens with confidence and boldness. There will not always be worries, and the food and soldiers will be guaranteed.

Zhang Dou took a few glances at the contract signed between Du Ziteng and the Ryukyu Kingdom, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, you wisteria! This is to dig up the roots of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Not bad! Well done! ”

After receiving Zhang Dou's praise, Du Ziteng's bones were lighter. When he walked out of Zhang Dou's study, he jumped excitedly. At this moment, he finally integrated into the system of Eternal Life Island, and in the future, he could also use Eternal Life Island to glorify his ancestors.

Sun Yuanhua frowned when he got the contract, and couldn't help but say, "Virtuous son-in-law! This ~ is this still a bit harsh! ”

Zhang Dou smiled and said, "Father-in-law! If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! ”
