With their respective missions, the four set off in different directions. Only he was left to stand still, looking out at Corning in the distance, he was waiting for the good news that they were wearing back, and at the same time waiting for reinforcements that should have arrived at this moment.

Discipline or something, for a pirate, it seems to be a harsh requirement, but for Yan Siqi, after so many years of getting along with Boss Huang, his requirements for himself have become more and more strict.

So, Corning didn't wait long? I saw Yan Siqi who came as promised, and went to the pirate fleet with him.

Corning had a very important plan that could only be realized with the help of his fleet. But after the other party heard his plan, he frowned. His fleet was designed to make a big splash on the small island, not to use it as a transport fleet. In that case, it would undoubtedly be overkill.

But Kang Ning insisted on his own ideas, so that the other party was helpless, who let Boss Huang's final order is that all actions must be subject to your dispatch, although the other party became Boss Huang's subordinate earlier than Kang Ning, and also has more experience, but for the conquest of a country's civilization, it is not only military force is needed, but also ideological and cultural conquest. And that's what Corning can do, and only you can do at the moment.

So, looking at your position is unshakable, unless Boss Huang's plan to be here ends in failure.

Yan Siqi finally reluctantly agreed to rely on your request, and after a simple anchorage and rest, he led his fleet and sailed towards the Jiaodong Peninsula.

In Edo Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu is no longer there, and he has returned to Sunfu Castle, where he lived in seclusion. Only his son Tokugawa Hidetada was left to deal with the trivial matters up and down.

In order to ensure that the daimyo recognized the Tokugawa family as a hereditary shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu had passed on his position to his son Tokugawa Hidetada more than ten years ago. He himself lived in seclusion behind the scenes, still holding the power of the shogunate.

And this wife of Tokugawa Hidetada is none other than Yododen's own sister Asai E.

The small island country is not too big in the first place, not to mention that marriage can also achieve many political purposes, so all kinds of grievances and hatreds are entangled among the princes.

This entanglement between the Tokugawa family and the Toyotomi family is actually more directly manifested, because the daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada is the wife of Toyotomi Hideyori.

How deep the relationship between Tokugawa Chihime and Toyotomi Hideyori is, Canning doesn't know! But this time the envoys were sent. He decisively borrowed the name of Tokugawa Chihime.

"My father-in-law asked me to bring a letter from Miss Chihime Tokugawa."

When Su Qin saw Dechuan Xiuzhong, the first thing he said was this.

Although Tokugawa Hidetada knew very well that the two sides were about to enter a state of war, and this Kangning was an opponent that he had to pay attention to. His father had informed him of the danger of this man, and to be honest, he had nothing to do with him. This person's attack strategy on Awaji Island is also because of its unconventionality. And it spread rapidly among the daimyo.

Now there are many people who are more optimistic about Toyotomi Hideyori because of his performance, but there are also some people because he is a person from the Central Plains region of the Ming Dynasty. And there was resistance.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu, like his father, was a conservative xenophobia, he longed for the Central Plains Dynasty. It was inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Song dynasty, and it is almost equivalent to the habit engraved in their genetic sequences. This habit is hard to change. Even, the culture from the Central Plains cannot be called a foreign culture, in their eyes, they are also part of China, and they call themselves Little China, just like North Korea and Vietnam.

Therefore, for Tokugawa Hidetada himself, Kangning did not arouse his disgust because of his identity.

As for the Mr. Su in front of him, of course, he will not arouse his disgust, not to mention that he also brought his daughter's family letter.

Tokugawa Hidetada carefully read his daughter's letter, in which her daughter told him that he already knew the news of the imminent war between the two sides. But Toyotomi Hideyori was still very good to her, and he didn't need his father to worry about his safety.

Although these words were not said by Tokugawa Chiki herself, according to some of Kangning's remaining memories of the warring states of the Wa Kingdom, Tokugawa Hidetada's daughter finally escaped the war safely. If Toyotomi Hideyori treats her badly, she can meet and kill him at the beginning to vent her anger.

Therefore, such words can also stand up to scrutiny, and they can also stand up to historical arguments later.

After reading his daughter's letter, Tokugawa Hidetada was already full of good feelings for the person in front of him, and he asked completely defenselessly: "I don't know what your father-in-law has intentions this time?" ”

"General, are you asking me about my intentions in coming here this time? Since the shogun is so cool, then I'll get straight to the point, what my lord means is that he occupied Awaji Island without the consent of the original villagers, because he had an agreement with the Toyotomi family. And the Toyotomi family is the head of the Tokugawa family. At least that's what the Toyotomi family told us when we reached an agreement. Therefore, the old shogun was not consulted at the time, but later we learned that it was the Tokugawa shogun of the shogunate, not her Toyotomi Hideyori family, who was in charge of this land. That's why we feel that we have been fooled by them, this time I came, but I specially asked the old general for guilt, but after all, the old general is old, and it is inconvenient to disturb easily, so I have to visit the general first, I hope that when the time comes, you can also call the lord to say a few more good words for me. ”

Whether it is Boss Huang or Kangning, in fact, the relationship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori is very clear. Who's words can work in this land, they know it even more in their hearts, but Su Qin just doesn't say so.

From Su Qin's remarks, Tokugawa Hidetada believed that he had received the following information, and that Toyotomi Hideyori had taken advantage of Boss Huang and Kangning's unfamiliarity with the Wa Kingdom to trick them into reaching an agreement. used a piece of land that should not have been at their disposal in exchange for Boss Huang's strategic material support.

"So that's the case, this Toyotomi Hideyori is so cunning, I usually think she is a good child!"

Su Qing added fuel to the fire at this time: "Two years ago, at the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, you and your father should have seen the great understanding's support for him, his speech and demeanor, and his handsome appearance, all of which won him a lot of trust and support from the daimyo. My father-in-law was also clear about this, because at the beginning my father-in-law was deceived, so later, he paid special attention to things like that, and heard a lot of daimyo and words of appreciation for Toyotomi Hideyori. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada was furious, originally, he and his father did not have a strong team Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Since the Battle of Sekigahara, there have been many marriages between the two large groups of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori in an attempt to mend the rift in the relationship between the two sides. But almost two years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu finally made a decision to eliminate the boy, and Tokugawa Hidetada believes that the reason why his father suddenly changed his strategy was because of the good performance of Toyotomi Hideyori at that celebration, which was supported by too many people. This one had to wear the overhead and realized that he had to get rid of him.

"I already know what this is all about. I'll explain it to my father. Tokugawa Hidetaka swore a promise.

"Thank you, Shogun. My lord wants to trade with the general on the same terms. My lord has been in business for generations, and he has a lot of goods from the Ming Dynasty in his hands, and he also asks the general to laugh and accept it. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada immediately widened his eyes, he couldn't look down on foreigners' things, although the Ryukyu Kingdom, where Boss Huang was located, was also part of the Chinese cultural circle, but how could their utensils be as exquisite as ****.

And more importantly, Corning is also ready to trade with him on the same terms as Toyotomi Hideyori. What does he Tokugawa Hidetada need to give? It's just an island that has been taken over by Corning.

Tokugawa Hidetada even suspected that he had misheard, so he cautiously asked, "Is your lord willing to offer the same price to both sides for the same island?" Are you sure he won't make this kind of loss-making business? ”

Although Su Qing did not know how 300 years later, the United States sold arms to both sides in World War I for huge profits. But he believed that the lord's judgment was not wrong, so he said decisively: "General, you don't need to doubt it. What my lord wants is forgiveness from the old general. In this way, our trade on the island of Honshu will not be hindered, and we can actually make a lot of money in the process. As for the arms sold to you at a preferential price, they are nothing more than a guarantee of friendship between you and us. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada nodded in satisfaction. He reaffirmed his promise that he would explain Corning's actions to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

And what he didn't know was that in the nearby Sunfu Castle, a guy named Zhang Yi was swaggering and enjoying Tokugawa Ieyasu's reception. (To be continued.) )
