Part 4 The Maritime Silk Road 55
Lin Feng originally planned to hold Ma Liangbi hostage in order to force Ma Fengwo and others to give up the treasure hunt, but now it has become that he wants to take the Ma family's father and son to blackmail the king of the Ryukyus, Ma Niangniang, and appoint him as the generalissimo of the Ryukyu Kingdom. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
The galleon, loaded with 300,000 taels of silver, docked at the dock of Niocha Town, Lin Feng did not dare to get off the ship, and sent Chen Xuewen to call Tang Jing, Zhu Hui, Ma Liangbi and others. Chen Xuewen returned home and told the story of this treasure hunt in detail.
Since Lin Feng had already dug up some of the silver, Zhu Hui didn't want to stop there, it was best to take this opportunity to let him dig out all the silver and try to transport it back to Yuegang, so they carried Ma Liangbi on their backs and discussed countermeasures together.
Judging from Lin Feng's personal entry into the water, there may be no one except him who knows the secret of Treasure D, so he must be stabilized first, and combined with his current appeal, it is necessary to make good use of Ma Liangbi.
Escorting Ma Liangbi over, Zhu Hui said: "Ma Xiangguo, there is a big matter that I need your help with, this is related to the safety of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is also related to the fate of Queen Ma and your whole family, please be cautious." β
Ma Liangbi knew that it must have something to do with Lin Feng, so he grinned and replied with a smile: "It's not simple, give me a sharp blade to hide on my body, and when he comes to find the old man, a knife will end his life, isn't it over?" β
Tang Jing was slightly amused, and said: "Your idea is good, he has gathered a group of outlaws from Iki Island, I'm afraid no one will be able to control the situation at that time, don't forget, your son is still in their hands, I'm afraid we all have to die under their swords, what should we do?" β
"This little bastard will cause trouble for me, and my son will not lack him, let him die. The old man thinks, please ask Xuewen Xian's nephew to help, let's also recruit a group of people who dare to die, and fight with Lin Feng and others, and then dismiss them with some money, wouldn't everyone be happy? β
Hearing that Ma Liangbi had diverted the topic, Zhu Hui hurriedly corrected: "Ma Xiangguo, what is being discussed now is not how to kill Lin Feng, but how to tempt him to dig out all the treasures and then try to control them, do you understand?" β
Ma Liangbi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "I heard from you just now that he has dug out 300,000 taels, so how many are there?" β
"The exact number is not clear, but it should be more than ten times more." Zhu Hui replied.
Ma Liangbi's eyes immediately widened, and he sighed: "In this way, Lin Feng is really rich. β
"It's completely different from controlling the power of a country, Lin Feng's ambition is very big, the reason why he doesn't want to use this money yet, he may think that the time is not ripe, if you can convince him that the time has come, he will definitely not let the gold and silver treasures sleep at the bottom of the sea, Ma Xiangguo, do you have a good plan?" Zhu Hui asked.
Ma Liangbi pondered for a moment and replied: "Zhu Gongzi, I think you also know that the old man was harmed a lot by the two girls Guo and Xu, and now he has lost his official position and resigned, just now I heard what Xuewen Gongzi said, he Lin Feng wants to be the generalissimo of the Ryukyu National......
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly sold Guanzi, Tang Jing hurriedly asked, "What are you?" Do you dare to play tricks when you are dying? Why don't I kill you now! β
"What's the use of you killing the old man? I believe that you don't want that pirate leader to become the generalissimo of the Ryukyu Kingdom, now the key is to make Lin Feng believe it, Tang Daguan, Zhu Gongzi, is what the old man said right? Ma Liangbi asked disdainfully.
"It makes sense." Zhu Hui nodded and replied, "Ma Xiangguo, in your opinion, how can you make Lin Feng believe?" β
Ma Liangbi suddenly came to his senses, and said arrogantly: "It depends on how you cooperate with the old man." β
Zhu Hui, Tang Jing and Chen Xuewen looked at each other, and replied in unison: "I want to hear about it." β
"Among you, who does Lin Feng trust the most?" Ma Liangbi asked.
Tang Jing replied: "Through the performance of this operation, it should be said that Lin Feng trusts me the most. β
So, Ma Liangbi preached according to his own ideas: "Lin Feng, as a prisoner of the imperial court, let the old man persuade him, don't go back to Ryukyu for the time being, hand over 300,000 taels of silver to me, leave the old man's dog, Chen, and Zhu as hostages, and let the Tang officials accompany the old man back, first let King Shang Yong pardon his crimes, and then appoint him as the generalissimo of the Ryukyu Kingdom, what do you think?" β
Everyone understood that the 300,000 taels of silver were transported to Ryukyu through the hands of Ma Liangbi, and they would definitely not come back, Chen Xuewen asked worriedly: "Can you really ask King Shang Yong to forgive his sins and get him a letter of appointment?" β
Ma Liangbi laughed loudly and replied, "Of course, this is all a lie to Lin Feng, aren't you still thinking about the remaining huge treasures?" Bring him the letter of appointment, whether Lin Feng will believe it, whether he can continue to dig up all those treasures depends on the ability of the two sons. β
"Brother Xuewen, can you recruit a group of loyal and brave people?" Zhu Hui asked.
Chen Xuewen looked embarrassed, he could see that Ma Liangbi didn't even want his own son, so he shook his head silently.
At this time, Ma Liangbi, who was a little carried away, continued to speak: "Two sons, I believe that with your wisdom, there must be a way to deal with Lin Feng, let him hand over all the treasures, and the old man and Tang Daguan will fully cooperate with you, as for how to deal with Lin Feng in the future, where to transport the rest of the money?" It's up to you. β
Everyone knows that Ma Liangbi's idea harbors evil intentions, he got 300,000 taels of silver, and he doesn't even want his own son, how can he care about the life or death of others? What's more, it was unknown whether Lin Feng would be easily fooled, and he suddenly fell into a stalemate, and everyone fell silent.
This matter can't alarm the Shimazu family, and I don't dare to ask Guo Guoqiang for help, even if I go to Lin Wenjing now, it's too late, just when everyone is in trouble, Chen Xuewen's mother came to knock on the door, saying that there was a beggar outside, who had been entangled for a long time, and had to see Zhu Gongzi.
Zhu Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, he guessed that the person who came must be Su Ba, and immediately followed Chen Xuewen's mother out.
Sure enough, it was Su Ba, I saw him dragging a crippled leg, covered in rags like a beggar, knowing that he would not come to him if he was fine, he was quite moved in his heart, grabbed his hands, and asked excitedly: "Brother, where are you from?" β
Su Ba, who is now skinny and skinny, looks bright-eyed and full of energy, he is slightly happy at Zhu Hui, whistles, and a big man comes in a blink of an eye.
Zhu Hui asked, "Old brother, may I ask who this young brother is?" β
Su Ba smiled and introduced: "This person is a friend of Master Nanguangfang Tianhai and Guo Guoqiangren, and that monkey Hideyoshi, Wasuka Koroku, Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Yoshihiro and others, he once rescued Luo Amin in Jinjiang Bay and helped the Tang family leave Akimeura, which is very worthy of everyone's trust." I know that you are in trouble, and this young brother can help you, but when the time comes, you will have to leave him some money to repay him. β
"Mr. Goemon Ishikawa?" Zhu Hui asked in surprise.
"Yes, I've been back from Owari for a few days, and I know everything about you."
After listening to Su Ba's words, Zhu Hui had to secretly admire this former Jinyi Wei Zhenfu and Dongchang Prison Officer, and he also wondered in his heart, with his shrewdness and ability, why did he lose to himself in Nanjing?
Maybe Su Ba also guessed Zhu Hui's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, the past is unbearable, so don't think about it anymore, in fact, God is very fair, those who have gained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." The Buddha only blesses those who do good, and all practices are only for the next life. Hehe, brother, don't you let me in and talk? β
"Big brother, thank you for your hard work, please."
With the help of Ishikawa Goemon and Su Ba, everything was easy, so Chen Xuewen took everyone to see Lin Feng.
Boarding Lin Feng's galleon, Ishikawa Goemon rushed straight to Lin Feng and knocked him to the ground with one punch......
At this time, Chen Xuewen ran over in a panic, lay beside Lin Feng and cried loudly, and said sadly: "Uncle, Lord O'O, save my whole family, in the past few days when I went to sea with you, Lord Owari and Master Suga came to the door, fortunately, Tang Daguan and Zhu Gongzi were very alert, and they hid out with Master Ma, but the samurai of Owari Province kidnapped my whole family as a hostage, * I took them to arrest you, nephew, I would rather die than obey, so they could only send a samurai to talk to you, this is Mr. Ishikawa under the command of Lord Beesuka." β
Lin Feng got up from the deck, pulled up Chen Xuewen, and hurriedly asked, "Virtuous nephew, has Ma Liangbi agreed?" β
Without waiting for Chen Xuewen to answer, Ma Liangbi hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and replied loudly: "Please rest assured that Lord Lin Daao, this matter is on the old man, but it is ......"
Lin Feng glared at him and asked, "What are you?" β
"However, I heard that Lin Daao's main ambition is to 'Buwu in the world', and he doesn't seem to be satisfied with being the generalissimo of the Ryukyu Kingdom, or even the king of the Ryukyus, the old man still has a request, in the future, when the 'world Buwu', the king of Ryukyu will be abolished, and the old man will be the king?"
After listening to Ma Liangbi's words, the hornet's nest bowed to his father and replied excitedly: "Dad, grandpa's ambition is very big, he was still telling us just now that in the future, he will use Ryukyu as a base to attack the mainland from the south, Yuchai Hideyoshi will attack Liaodong from Korea, and the north and south will attack directly to take the Ming Jingshi, everyone will meet in the Forbidden City, and then take India and Persia, and always enter the red-haired ghost's nest Europa, hehe, how can you be satisfied with only being the king of the Ryukyus?" β
Ma Liangbi was not moved at all by this "grand cause", his so-called "but" was nothing more than deceiving Lin Feng's trust, listening to his son say that "grandpa's ambition is very big", with a face full of anger, he slapped him with his hand and asked: "Bastard, who is your grandfather?" β
Finding that the hornet's nest was covering his face and secretly pointing at himself, Lin Feng was slightly happy, he didn't need to take advantage of such a advantage, so he arched his hand and said to Ma Liangbi: "Brother Ma Nian, children don't have to care. β
The hornet's nest blushed and shouted, "Godfather." Jing Ming and Shen Mao also put away their sabers and followed him to change their words.
Because he wants to continue to cooperate with the monkey in the future, Lin Feng is a little uncertain about this samurai from Owari, and it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false; Even if it's true, I don't know what he means? So, he decided to meet this Mr. Ishikawa first, and then consult with Ma Liangbi and Tang Jing, so he invited him into the secret room in the front cabin, and let Jingming and others guard outside the door.
Lin Feng was first concerned about the situation on the battlefield of Tetorigawa, and Ishikawa Goemon told him without concealing that Uesugi Kennobu, with the support of Kaga Ichijomune, had destroyed the 40,000 troops under the command of Oda Nobutada at Nanao Castle, and that many of the Oda troops had surrendered due to the problem of mutual assistance, so a fierce conflict broke out again between Hashiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie.
Oda Nobunaga reprimanded Hideyoshi and transferred him to the battlefield to block Matsunaga Hide, and Wasuka also withdrew his troops, and when he returned home, he found that Lin Feng had been taken away by Mrs. Aichi, and mistakenly thought that Mrs. Aichi was instigated by Shibata Katsuie, so he ran to Hideyoshi to file a complaint. After Hideyoshi asked about the situation, he didn't dare to speak out, nor did he dare to trouble the Shibata Katsuya couple in this matter. So, he asked Wasuka to deal with it himself, and just like that, Wasuka sent Ishikawa and others to inquire everywhere, and finally found Hirato.
Oda Nobunaga, who is in the middle of the day, has been appointed as the general of the right guard, controlled Kyoto in his hands, changed Inabayama Castle to Gifu, and is now building Azuchi Castle, realizing that "the world is clothed" is close at hand, at this juncture, Hideyoshi suffered a defeat, and Shibata Katsuya quarreled to the point of incompatibility, so that Lin Feng is quite worried, if Hideyoshi can not be the general of the expeditionary force in the future, who will fight with him to seize the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty in the north and south?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency Ishikawa, please go back and report to Yuchai Zhuqian Shou, just say that I, Lin Feng, am about to become the generalissimo of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and I can continue to transport arquebuses to him in the future, just wait for the day when he becomes the general of the expeditionary force, I will raise troops with him in the north and south at the same time, and seize the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty." β
"Your Excellency Lin Feng and Lord Yu Chai Zhuqian Shou cherish each other, it is really enviable, and the ambition of the two adults is even more earth-shattering and moving ghosts and gods, so that I admire it! However, I heard that Tsukuzen Mamoru said that you are a prisoner of the Ryukyu Kingdom, so how can you become the generalissimo? Ishikawa Goemon asked puzzled.
So, Lin Feng called Ma Liangbi in, and replied with a smile: "This is Lord Ma, the former minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, his sister is Queen Ma, who controls the real power, and King Shang Yong is his nephew, isn't there anyone to introduce you?" β
Ishikawa Goemon pretended not to be impressed, looked at Ma Liangbi, and shook his head in disbelief.
Lin Feng guessed that Tang Jing and others might have concealed Ma Liangbi's true identity out of consideration for safety. At this time, I suddenly heard Tang Jing say in a loud voice: "Master Ma, tell Your Excellency Ishikawa that you can make me the generalissimo." β
So, Ma Liangbi put out the script and inventory designed in advance, and this plan made Lin Feng feel in a dilemma.
First of all, Lin Feng was not worried that Tang Jing and Ma Liangbi would return to Ryukyu with the silver, and he wanted to go back with him, but Ishikawa Goemon would not let him go, and his attitude was very tough, and he emphasized: Unless the letter of appointment of the King of Ryukyu is sent to Lin Feng, he can only go back to hand over the mission, if he does not see this letter of appointment within a month, he will escort Lin Feng back to Owari Province and hand it over to Wasuka for disposal.
