Chapter 797: The Japanese Deputy Envoy's Provocation
The identity of the traveler is very special, he is obviously Zhang You's subordinate, but in fact, he is also a teacher and friend, and he has saved his life many times. As his status and power grew, there were fewer and fewer people who dared to joke with him in the past, and not leaving travelers was one of them.
But he rarely expresses his opinions, as if he really regards himself as Zhang You's bodyguard, and it is even more rare to say good things for others in such a solemn manner.
So Zhang You's expression also became serious: "Lao Xu, it seems that what you think is the same as what I think, and I also think that it is still welcome to be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I agree with your opinion...... Sixth, Lao Xu won't talk about it, he used to work for the Dragon Master, Ruolan, Qianqian, aren't they all Dragon Master's people? I can see that your feelings for Ruyan are true feelings, and now that Ruyan abandons the darkness and turns to the light, you should be happy, right, if you want to fight and kill, won't it hurt Ruyan's heart? ”
"Fifth brother, I don't want to either, I just don't think I have the face to see you, I think she shouldn't lie to me, I ......" Zhang Yunxiu lowered his head and said, his anger and guilt are on the one hand, the most important thing is to treat others wholeheartedly, but the feeling of being deceived by others has caused a huge gap in his psychology, but these words, he felt a little unable to speak, so he simply closed his mouth.
"Okay, think about it yourself, Ruyan, go with the fifth brother, no matter what Yun Xiu does, I recognize you as a sister anyway. Go and apologize to the two mothers, the two mothers are magnanimous and will never pursue you. ”
Ruyan glanced at Zhang Yunxiu with a complicated expression, nodded obediently, and finally let go of his hanging heart.
Life is so wonderful, what was supposed to be a huge crisis ended in such an incredible ending. But if you think about it carefully, it is not necessarily that there is no cause and effect. As the saying goes, everyone is selfish, Zhang You's actions make his future bright, compared to the Dragon Master and the Black Dragon Society, but anyone who has some brains also knows how to make the right choice.
Li Caifeng will subconsciously call Zhang You "brother" at some special moments, as for Sister Wang Xi, she owes Zhang You a lot of favors, he has chosen to forgive Ruyan, and the two women will naturally not chase after them.
From the perspective of interests, forgiveness is like smoke, and it will also help to win over Wuyazi, which will definitely play a key role in the future attack on the Dragon Master, both women have political acumen and have their own choices.
Zhang You wrote a sternly worded letter in the name of the Maritime Governor of the Ming Dynasty, demanding that the king of the Ryukyus Kingdom, Shang Yong, hand over all the members of the Black Dragon Society headed by the Dragon Master, "If you do not comply, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and this official will definitely make it clear to your Majesty today, and the soldiers will send the Ryukyus to meet each other, and it is the crime of the ruins of the Ryukyu people, and you will bear it alone!" ”
The letter was sent directly to the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the Siyi Pavilion, the head of the kingdom Shi Cai Chaoqi, this person was an old minister of the two dynasties, and was shocked when he saw the letter, and hurriedly replied to Zhang Yunxiu, who sent the letter: "After the trial ceremony is over, the lower officials will return to China as soon as possible, and believe in this to our king, and I implore my king to act according to the orders of your brother Zhang Dadu, during which there may be misunderstandings, and please ask Lord Zhang to say a lot of good words in front of your brother." ”
After finishing it, he didn't forget to give a gift, so he sent Zhang Yunxiu away.
As soon as Zhang Yunxiu left, the deputy envoy of the Japanese mission entered the door, and the deputy envoy was called Xiao Inu Saburo, and asked with a smile: "Lord Cai, what's wrong?" Look at you, you seem to be frightened, huh? Can you tell me about it, I'm here to share the worries of adults. ”
Saburo Koizumi's mission said to be a Japanese mission, but in fact it was only subordinate to the Satsuma domain.
Satsuma Domain, officially known as Kagoshima Domain, was a vassal territory of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and its territory controlled Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and part of the Hyuga Kingdom territories, and in more than ten years, the Ryukyu Kingdom would also be under their actual control, and this time the Shogun Kayama Hisaka was the general who would send troops to invade the Ryukyu Kingdom in the future.
Far away, now because the Satsuma Domain and the Ryukyu Kingdom are very close, the relationship between the two places is still very close, Cai Chaoqi and Koizumi Saburo have known each other for a long time, but after hearing the words, instead of feeling abrupt, but as if they had met a confidant, they sighed and complained: "It's not that Zhang Dadu Governor, relying on the power of the Ming Dynasty, actually wrote a sternly worded letter to my king, asking my king to hand over the Black Dragon Society, that dragon master is my king's friend, isn't this too much deception?" ”
"I see, I also know that Dragon Master, he is a good person, and he has a good relationship with my family Huashan Jiugao, I really can't figure out how he offended that Zhang Dadudu, and would make such a rude request......"
"What if you know it's rude? There is an old saying in Huaxia: 'People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads', it seems that they can only go back to report to my king, and then my king will come forward to explain to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty to see if this matter can be resolved. ”
"Uh," Koizumi Saburo rolled his eyes: "Actually, Lord Cai doesn't need to be so afraid, your country is located in the deep sea, and Daming is separated by a wide ocean, that Zhang Dadu Governor is estimated to be scaring people, Daming is not the previous Daming, according to their current strength, it is not enough to support them to fight at sea...... If they hadn't resorted to tricks to lure King Hui to be fooled, I am afraid that the entire coastal area would have become King Hui's world, to put it bluntly, they might be okay to fight on land, but at sea, it won't work. ”
Hui Wang naturally refers to Wang Zhi.
Cai Chaoqi hesitated: "This ......"
Koizumi Saburo struck while the iron was hot: "It's nothing like this and that, after I go back, I will definitely tell my family's daimyo about this, as long as they dare to send troops to attack your country, our Satsuma clan will definitely not stand idly by, I don't believe it, unite the forces of both of us, and I'm afraid that they won't succeed?" ”
Because of the forbidden sea, the backwardness of the Ming Navy is well known, and Koizumi Saburo's words are still quite agitatory.
"What you say is not unreasonable, but what are we here for this time? Isn't it to participate in the trial ceremony of the Daming Zhenhai? With such fanfare, the Zhenhai must be extraordinary, in case ...... Don't forget, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of money, and the reason why the navy is outdated is only due to wrong policies, and once you make up your mind to correct it, it is not difficult to build a strong navy. ”
"No matter how strong you are, can you still be stronger than our tortoiseshell ship? We have nearly a thousand tortoiseshell ships, and you have a lot of them, right? Besides, Lord Cai must have heard of Spain, that Castro is the envoy of the Spanish governor in the Philippines, but he has a powerful sea force known as the Invincible Armada, no matter how bad it is, you can ask them for help. Also in the ancient Chinese saying, this is called Shi can be killed but not humiliated, not fighting for steamed buns and fighting for breath, your country has not paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the co-authoring is still used to having problems? In a word, Lao Tzu is not waiting anymore! ”
