Part 4 The Maritime Silk Road 38, foggy
Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er found out their identities, and came to help Lin Feng as the descendants of Akimeura, basically eliminating Wassuka's vigilance, so how to contact Lin Feng now is the key.
So, Zhang Gou'er asked, "May I ask General Wasuka, have you made contact with my uncle now?" โ
Wasuka was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What did you say?" It's been at least a little more than a month since your Ryukyu reinforcements came to Manila, don't you know that Lin Feng went to the West Malay Peninsula? At this time, he found that Zhang Gou'er and Zhu Hui were shaking their heads.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Fan replied: "General Beesuka, the Ming people don't talk darkly among themselves, when we just arrived, Lin Daao organized a military operation, and was almost captured by the Westerners, and it was in the name of aiding the Westerners that he secretly let Lin Da Ao go, he obviously knew our purpose, it was to cooperate with him to seize Manila, therefore, I judge, he must still be in the surrounding area of Manila, the reason why he has been dormant for so long is to wait for your reinforcements, and now everything is ready, All it takes is the right time for us to join forces to take Manila and take control of Luzon. โ
At this time, Wassu Kazuka was still staring at Zhu Hui without moving.
So, Zhang Gou'er continued: "Maybe the Daao lord has misunderstood me as the general of the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force, and I don't have the opportunity to give him a detailed explanation. โ
"Don't hide it from General Bee Suka, maybe Lord Lin Daao has misunderstood me, so there has been no contact recently." Zhu Hui explained.
Bee Suga Xiaoliu lowered his head slightly, his eyes rolled at this moment, and he replied slowly: "According to the information from the Zhonghe Association, after Lin Feng broke through the defeat of that army, he had no intention of fighting because of the loss of his troops, and fled to Siam, trying to take refuge with his uncle Mr. Lin Daoqian, although Lin Daoqian became the horse of the King of Siam in Pattani, but the King of Siam was forced by the pressure of the Ming Dynasty Emperor to lose Zรฌ Yรณu in Pattani, therefore, His Excellency Lin Feng was forced to have no choice but to convert to Moslem in the West Malay Peninsula. At this time, the ambitious Ottoman emperor conquered the Grand Duchy of Moscow and continued to support the Crimean Khan's expedition to the eastern lands. โ
After talking for a long time, Bee Suga was still emphasizing the accuracy of the information of the Zhonghe Clan, and Zhu Hui couldn't help but ask: "May I ask General Bee Suka, did you come all the way to deal with the allies of Yu Chai Zhu Qianshou?" โ
Wasuka replied unequivocally and seriously: "Two generals, with all due respect, for our Japanese reinforcements, there is really no need to get in touch with Lin Feng, Luzon is the only way for the Moslem fleet to attack the Ming Dynasty mainland, as long as they ignite the war in Luzon, we can take the opportunity to drive out the red-haired ghosts and occupy Manila." โ
It sounds like both sides are "honest", but in fact they are testing each other, and Wasuka's words are very clear, they are coming to support Manila in the name of the Coalition, nothing more than to take advantage of the fisherman, if this is the case, they will not act rashly until the arrival of the Moslem army......
Zhang Gou'er and Zhu Hui glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly, they obviously didn't believe the nonsense of the so-called Moslem's expedition to the Ming Dynasty, and there was no point in continuing to argue with him.
So, Zhu Hui asked: "If the Westerners are driven out and Manila is occupied, who will rule Luzon in the future?" โ
Wasuka laughed loudly when he heard this, and replied very happily: "This will be discussed by His Excellency Lin Feng and Lord Hashiba Chikuzen Mamoru together, perhaps one of the two of you will be the governor of Luzon, or His Excellency Konishi Yuki, the devouring son of Lord Konishi, we should not talk about this matter in vain." โ
"According to what you said, Lord Lin Daao will continue to attack Daming, and Yu Chai Zhuqian is guarding in Japan, how can the two of them meet and discuss?" Zhu Hui asked.
Bee Suga smiled reservedly and asked rhetorically, "Don't you know that Lord Lin Daao has an appointment with Lord Yuchai Zhumae?" Hehe, you don't want to think about it, if the two of them don't see each other, it means that the war is far from over, even if Manila is handed over to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it, let alone rule Luzon! โ
"When Akimeura Castle was burned, we were still young, so I really don't know what kind of appointment my uncle and Hashiba Chikuzen Mamoru had?" Zhang Gou'er asked.
At this time, Wasuka suddenly took out an elder's style, took a step forward, gently patted the shoulders of the two of them, and replied with a smile: "Little doll, you are all too tender!" There are a lot of things that you don't imagine, do you understand? โ
So, Zhu Hui pretended to be very angry and asked emotionally, "I don't understand!" So, will you rule Luzon in the future? โ
Hearing this, Wassu Kaga couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing so hard that he almost lost his breath, only to hear him cough hard twice before he could hold back, and replied kindly: "Don't talk about you two dolls, the ambition of Lord Hashiba Chikumae and Lord Lin Daao is beyond the reach of even Maeda Toshiya and Akechi Mitsuhide!" Now I can tell you officially that I, Wasuka, have received a promise from Lord Hashiba Chikuzen Mamoru to be the king of Joseon in the future, but that is also after the general situation of the world is settled; As for who has jurisdiction over Luzon? It's hard to say now, but you have to understand that Luzon has an extremely important strategic position, and Manila is the world's trade center. โ
"So, may I ask General Wasuka, what is the strategic plan now, please let me know." Zhu Hui looked a little impatient.
So, Wasuka cleared his throat, took out a samurai style, and continued, "You two must obey my commands!" Waiting for His Excellency Lin Feng's Moslem army to ignite the flames of war in Luzon, we will take advantage of the opportunity of the Spaniards to fight Moslem, and forcibly occupy the royal city of Manila on the pretext of maintaining law and order in Manila, and our mission will be accomplished, especially remembering that we must not clash with the Spaniards head-on until absolutely necessary. โ
"Don't clash with them?" This statement was unexpected by Zhu Hui, and he immediately asked, "How can the Spanish soldiers easily let us enter the royal city?" So how do we occupy Manila under the pretext of policing? โ
Wasuka smiled and replied, "Hehe, you don't understand this, do you?" It is precisely because General Fernando is deeply taboo against us that he wants us to rush to the front line as cannon fodder, please be sure to believe the information of the Zhonghe, when the time comes, Lord Lin Daao will let us fight a few big battles, and we will first gain the trust of the Westerners. At the same time, there will be a powerful Moslem tribe to attack Manila, but with the Spanish soldiers, they will definitely not be able to defend it, at this time, we must grasp the best fighters, wait for both of them to consume almost the same, and then sit back and reap the benefits. โ
No matter what Bee Suga said, it was certain that he and Lin Feng had already made a battle plan, so the nonsense he was saying now was to set up a lot of fog for Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er to cover up the timing of their joint attack on Manila City.
If you can't find out about Lin Feng's whereabouts today, maybe Ming Rรฌ Bee Suga will be able to pass the news to Lin Feng, then, in the face of nearly 2,000 Japanese pirates, Zhang Gou'er and the Ryukyu soldiers will be too dangerous......
So, Zhu Hui pretended to be convinced, nodded seriously, and said: "As the descendants of Qiumupu, we have not heard from Lord Lin Daao for a long time. I will write a letter of submission with General Zhang Fan, please help us send it to the owner of Da O, the sooner the better. โ
"There's no need for that! At present, you can only be fully obedient to my command, which is the greatest loyalty to Lord Lin Daao. Wasuka replied decisively.
Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er glanced at each other, got up and bowed to Bee Suga, and replied loudly: "But General Bee Suga's order is obeyed!" โ
Wasuka thought that he had taken the initiative, so he patted the two of them on the shoulder, continued to take on the posture of an elder, and said, "Young man, let me tell you a secret, Your Excellency Lin Feng and Lord Hashiba Chikuzen Mamoru have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other. In that year, His Excellency Lin Feng left Japan and went to Nanyang, and I personally sent someone to send him to the Ryukyus, for which Lin Daao donated 300,000 taels of silver. Please think about it, how many daimyo coveted that huge fortune at that time, and searched for Lin Daao everywhere, if Yu Chai Zhuqian Mamoru did not have great talent, if I bee Suga was greedy for money, I am afraid that Lin Daao would have sunk to the bottom of the sea. โ
Speaking of the huge wealth in Lin Feng's hands, Zhu Hui suddenly remembered the treasure hunt of Shen Mao and others.
Listening to Guo Yi's introduction, Wang Cuiqiao's daughter became the concubine of the Ryukyu king, and suddenly got a treasure map of the pirate Xu Hai, but Huang Bingwen, who was renamed Su Ba, made a trick and gave the real map to Guo Yi, bought a map of the sea off Kyushu, Japan, and made a fake one, and gave it to Ma Liangbi's son Hornet's Nest. At that time, in order to subdue Ma Liangbi, he asked Xu Kun to take the hornet's nest to Songjiang Mansion and imprisoned him, but he didn't expect that Jingming and Shen Mao, the two bastards, couldn't withstand the temptation of the treasure map, rescued the hornet's nest, and deceived Pang Fu into giving the Liu family 100,000 taels of silver, and the three of them were preparing to go treasure hunting with the fake picture.
Although Xu Hai didn't hide the treasure there, the millions of taels of gold and silver that Yan Shifan smuggled out were hidden in that sea area by Lin Feng, what if they were found by these three bastards?
Thinking of this, Zhu Hui's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "May I ask General Beesuka, how many treasures does Lord Lin Daao have hidden in the sea off Kyushu?" โ
"There are at least five or six million taels of silver, as well as gold and countless treasures of great value." With that, Wasuka smiled slyly.
Zhang Gou'er was also shocked, since the monkey and Bee Suga knew the secret of the treasure hunt, why didn't they go on a treasure hunt?
At this time, Wasuka seemed to see through their thoughts, and said with a smile: "As the descendants of Akimeura, you all know that back then, if it weren't for the legend that Akimeura Castle contained countless gold and silver treasures, how could it suffer such a tragedy? โ
Although Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er were still young at that time, those past events were still vivid, and Zhang Gou'er couldn't help asking: "What is the attitude of Yuchai Zhuqian Shou towards this wealth?" โ
"Please don't compare Hashiba Chikuzen-samaru with the Miyoshi Three, Asakura Yoshikei, Takeda Shingen, Ishiyama Honganji, Shimazu Takahisa and others! Back then, those people were worried about this wealth, and overnight, the castle that His Excellency Lin Feng had worked hard to manage for more than ten years turned into ashes in an instant. However, in the eyes of Lord Hashiba Chikuzen, treasure is not necessary to achieve hegemony, and if you have too much wealth in your hands before the hegemony is achieved, it may make people become corrupt and degenerate, arrogant and vulnerable. Therefore, Lord Yuchai Chikuzen Mamoru saw very clearly that he would never snatch this wealth and leave it to Lord Lin Daao to dispose of it personally in the future. โ
What Wasuka wanted to express was that as a retainer of the monkeys, he had a great friendship with Lin Feng, which was the far-reaching intention of the monkeys to send him to Luzon. In fact, although he said that he had smallpox, he and the monkey had organized wild samurai to go treasure hunting many times, but they had the Lin Feng of Xu Hai's true inheritance, and they did have a set of treasure hiding, so that Shimazu Yoshihisa, Matsuura Takanobu and others took great pains to find it for many years, and all of them returned. Even Hu Jiuguan and others, who were born in Qiumupu, took Huang Bingwen to search for that sea area for three years, but in the end they found nothing.
So far, finding that Bee Suga only emphasized their relationship with Lin Feng, and still refused to reveal his plan with Lin Feng, Zhu Hui continued to pretend to be tame, bowed down and said, "Please give us an order, General!" โ
So, Wasuka pretended to say: "Manila is now the center of trade for all countries in the world, and even if we occupy Manila, we still can't tear our faces with the Westerners, do you understand the reason?" โ
Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er glanced at each other and shook their heads silently.
At this time, I saw him take out a map, spread it out in front of the three of them, and first pointed to the Daming Jingshi and said: "Let me tell you a shocking secret, Lord Lin Daao and Lord Yuchai Zhuqian have not met for many years, and the place where the two of them meet again is the Forbidden City of Daming Jingshi!" โ
Sure enough, it's a big secret!
Then, Wasuka pointed to a mountain peak on the other side of the ocean, and danced and said:
"Do you know why Westerners are so rich? It is said that the silver of the whole world is on this mountain, and this silver mountain is now occupied by Westerners, who continue to transport the silver from the mountain to Manila and trade with merchants from all over the world, so after we occupy Manila, we only drive out those Western armies, and have to adopt a policy of appeasement to the Jesuits and merchants, in order to maintain the prosperity of Manila, and to put the silver on the other side of the ocean into our hands. โ
Sure enough, it was another high opinion, and the two couldn't help but look at this robber from Kisogawa with admiration.
