The sulfur of the Wa Kingdom is a resource that both Huanglin and Kangning covet, but since the Tanegashima family introduced muskets, which the Wa people call iron cannons, into the country, the sulfur has attracted the attention of various princes, and the only way to get a large amount of sulfur is to war.

For this reason, Huang Lin has been planning for a long time. Now, he's ready to get his hands dirty.

Monk Kikuin was his first target.

In the Ryukyus, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty who canonized Huang Lin as the general of the Expedition have left. When they arrived, they caused a great shock on the tiny Ryukyu Islands.

However, all the ruling classes of the Ryukyu Kingdom, including Shoning, were full of doubts about this matter. If the small Ryukyu Kingdom can really fight against its evil neighbors in the north, how can the king and all the nobles be captured?

The Ming Dynasty knew that their strength was very limited, so why did they let them fall out with the Japanese people?

Could it be that the matter of proclaiming to the Wa State has annoyed His Majesty the Wanli Emperor. The reason why he issued this decree was to make the Ryukyu Kingdom make a choice, a choice of whether to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty or the Wa Kingdom.

If this is the case, then the Ryukyu Kingdom does not need to think about it.

In their eyes, the Wa Kingdom was still a country of internal turmoil. And the Ming Dynasty is a prosperous and powerful **** kingdom.

In such a comparison, their choice is naturally the Ming Dynasty. But the barbaric Japanese people, they can't afford to offend.

Shang Ning was already helpless. At this time, the monk Juyin appeared in front of the ministers who welcomed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

His first sentence pierced half of the intentions of the old emperor of Wanli.

"The old fox of Wanli wants to stir up the relationship between my Ryukyu Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom."

In his words, he also referred to himself as a native of the Ryukyus, hoping to let the surrounding monarchs know that he was stating his views from their point of view.

But the surrounding monarchs and ministers didn't seem to buy it, at least King Shanning retorted at the first time.

"**** If you want to clean up you. Why use such a divergence as a means of sowing discord. Your so-called Korean conquest was not defeated in their hands in the end? ”

Of course, Monk Juyin knew that the contrast between the national strength of the two countries was too great, so even if the other party was picking up their scars, he didn't have enough confidence to be angry.

What's more, what he wants to do now is to win over the forces in the Ryukyu Kingdom, because Tokugawa Ieyasu has already sent a secret order. Tell him that it will soon be the last battle of the Sengoku period.

During the Warring States Period, this was still the name that Zhang Yi brought in the past. But for the monk Kikuin, the word describes the past two hundred years very well.

As long as he succeeds this time, a peaceful and even stable life, or stable power, will come. That's crucial for those of them in power.

So he needed to calm down these impulsive devils now.

"Your Majesty is right. The Wa Kingdom is incomparable to the Ming Dynasty. But the powerful Ming Dynasty should not send anyone to attack us for no reason. You know, our Tokugawa generals are also very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. ”

After Tokugawa Ieyasu came to power, he did focus on repairing relations with the Ming Dynasty. Putting back the King of the Ryukyus is one of them. Other than that. There are also various measures such as closing the country and controlling piracy.

But the reason why these measures will be withdrawn is naturally not entirely to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty. It was mainly to deal with some problems that arose in the country, and it reflected Tokugawa Ieyasu's concept of governing the country. Many of them are only nominally beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and their private actions have never been interrupted.

However, such a lack of sincere allegiance did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the Ming court. Because the Ming court had no time to be dissatisfied. General Nurhachi rebelled soon after. Who still has time to pay attention to the tricks of a small country with a small overseas projectile.

Therefore, it seems that Tokugawa Ieyasu's allegiance has been recognized by the Ming court. Monk Juyin said this. There really isn't much room left for Shang Ning to refute.

After all, in the face of the word loyalty, they have lost too many points, although it is a last resort, but betrayal is betrayal.

Seeing that Shang Ning had nothing to say, Huang Lin had no choice but to stand up and say, "It still takes time to rebuild the old one. The Ming court was just observing how sincere the Wa State was. And now it seems that they did not think that the sincerity of the Tokugawa shogun could not satisfy them. Otherwise, he would not have been enshrined as a general of the conquest. ”

Monk Kikuin gritted his teeth in anger, he knew that this guy on the other side had always wanted to get rid of himself and monopolize the power of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He had hinted at the king several times. This guy was an ambitious minister, but the king still trusted him, and instead thought he was a sow of discord.

Although the king's definition of him did not deviate too much, even he himself thought so, and his purpose was actually to sow discord, but the king's unconditional trust really made him feel jealous.

And now, this guy has actually stood up to refute himself. This man's point of view seemed strange to him every time. But the kings and ministers are willing to believe him, and they don't know what kind of magic this guy has? It can reach so many people's hearts.

He even wondered if this point could be a monster, but even he thought it was a bit ridiculous.

It can only be said that this person's knowledge has an unpredictable source. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to build such a large fleet out of this small archipelago. At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the master behind him, also felt the existence of fear.

But in front of this person, it was impossible for him to bend down, so he had to stiffen his head: "Master Horse, we can't deny that you are a shark in the sea, but I have never seen a shark that can be majestic after landing on land." ”

What he meant by this was naturally that even if Boss Huang had a powerful fleet, it would be impossible for him to compare with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had rich combat experience, and other princes who had gone through the Warring States period for 200 years.

The metaphor of this sentence is not so obscure, so everyone here has understood it today. They also have doubts about the fighting ability of the horse master. Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to canonize him as the general of the Expedition, the monarchs and courtiers of the Ryukyu Kingdom did not believe that he had the ability to fulfill the wish of the Ming emperor.

But Boss Huang didn't think so, and his plan had already begun. Corning's work should be gradual, and with a secure logistics base, he could drive his war machine through.

As for the problem that sharks cruising in the sea can't land on land, he just never worries, sharks really can't land on land, but can the country be considered land? They are nothing more than a series of islands.

With the support of the ship's artillery, they still have the ability to rush to the beach and land. What's more, his subordinates have already shown their strength in the Central Plains, otherwise, the Jianchang Battalion under the White Lotus Sect. will not lose more than half of the troops because of this, so that in the subsequent battle, it will be easier to be defeated by Corning.

Therefore, he didn't have much to worry about the upcoming war in the future, not to mention that Tokugawa Ieyasu at that time had already fought to the death with Toyotomi Hideyori. It is unknown how many troops will be left to deal with him.

Not to mention. At that time, he handed over to Kangning Daoruiwu probably already completed, and the princes would see the fragile side of Togawa Ieyasu. Whether the great names of the nations who had to submit to him as a last resort will still bow down as they did before is another matter.

In short, in the face of the provocation of this bald donkey in front of you. He was not afraid at all, but he was unable to convey his self-confidence to the monarchs and courtiers of the Ryukyu Kingdom around him, which made him unhappy all the time, but today. This matter is coming to an end.

The impression he left on the monarchs and courtiers of the Ryukyu Kingdom has always been a humble and wise person, and this time he is not ready to show the smell of gunpowder, so he just said lightly: "Master, what you said is very reasonable, in fact, I basically have the same idea as you, the reason why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave me this official position is obviously not good-hearted, but we can't afford to offend the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for us not to make a move, but we also need to wear the general bureau to cooperate with us." ”

When he said this, everyone around him understood, only King Shang Ning was a little puzzled in his heart, when he discussed the plan of action before, his statement was not like this.

However, Boss Huang quickly used his actions to dispel the doubts of the Ryukyu king. His next words revealed what he really wanted to do: "However, how exactly do the two sides cooperate? How to obtain the approval of the Ming Dynasty requires us to discuss seriously, so I also want to ask the master to come to my house and discuss this matter secretly with me, I don't know when the master will have time! ”

Can Monk Juyin hear it? This Boss Huang is actually not willing to really work for the Ming Dynasty, but he also needs to give the Ming Dynasty an answer, so he needs Tokugawa Ieyasu to cooperate with him in a play, so that the old Emperor Wanli feels that he has paid a lot of hard work for this matter.

Since he wasn't really an enemy of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he didn't need to worry about anything. In short, it should not affect the final battle that the general will have next. It's a big deal to give him more preferential conditions when the time comes, so that she doesn't have any big moves within a year.

But the location of the negotiation between the two sides really made the bald donkey feel quite unhappy, why did he come to this guy's house! No matter how you look at it, you feel like you're sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Boss Huang widened his eyes and kept observing the bald donkeys around him. What he was going to do was exactly what the bald donkey was worried about.

And he can be sure that his subordinates don't have the kind of people like Xiang Bo.

In addition, he will not be as indecisive as Xiang Yu, as long as this bald donkey dares to appear, in his mansion, under the name of smashing the cup, 500 knife and axe hands will definitely be able to chop him into dumpling filling.

The old monk hesitated for a long time, and suddenly found that the other party had an impatient look. This kind of look made him feel a sense of security, if he was really going to set up some ambush, I am afraid that he had to patiently lure himself into the trap, rather than showing impatience so clearly!

In this case, it should be a safe meeting! The old monk thought so, so he agreed.

It's unfortunate that Huang Ling didn't play his cards according to his ideas? He deliberately put on an impatient look, which was precisely the habitual thinking of the old monk.

In this way, the old monk came to his mansion in the afternoon of the same day.

After slowly climbing the steps, the old monk only brought a few close disciples and warriors and walked into the main hall of Boss Huang.

Her Royal Highness the princess naturally has no interest in coming out to greet this guy, who made him a minion of Tokugawa Ieyasu and used to control the actual power of the entire Ryukyu Kingdom. The entire royal family will not have a good opinion of him, because he is the actual thief of the country.

Therefore, Boss Huang was the most important person to greet the old monk.

"Let's make a long story short." Boss Huang's first sentence brought the two of them closer to the atmosphere of the meeting. In this way, the old monk thinks that Boss Huang really wants to finalize this matter as soon as possible? Maybe he also has the same urgency as Tokugawa Ieyasu to deal with, not long ago, he just heard that Boss Huang has a new territory in Nanyang, and it is very large, which has consumed a lot of his manpower, material resources and energy.

Although the old monk was also very curious, how could there be land worth investing in in that kind of hurried area, but Boss Huang still seemed to be tired of it, and he didn't want to say anything, he all treated this guy as a plaything and a scum.

So the old monk slowly sat down and said slowly: "Please tell me your conditions, but there are some things I can't promise you, I can only report to General Tokugawa for him to decide, it will take some time during this period, I hope you can wait patiently." ”

Boss Huang smiled and replied, "My time has always been very tight, and you know this. And I'm a quick temper, and I can't stand the two words, and you know this, so I now find that negotiating with you is a pointless thing, and I can only take another plan. ”

Hearing Boss Huang's suddenly excited negotiation table, the old monk was a little surprised, he had obviously felt the atmosphere of the negotiation, why did it suddenly end!

At this time, the old monk's mind remembered the worst hypothesis, this was a Hongmen feast!

Sure enough, under an order, a group of soldiers armed with firearms rushed out in private, and surrounded them densely, and now, as long as Boss Huang gives an order, even if they are not chopped into dumpling filling, they can be beaten into honeycomb coal. (To be continued.) )
