257. Looking back at the new Xianghu Banner (3)

Yajiro Bingwei didn't dare to be rude in the slightest, and when he knelt down, he was so respectful that Yu Guozhen was surprised.

Then Yu Guozhen thought of a kind of evaluation of the people of this country in later generations, and only those who made them afraid could be respected by them.

"I heard you want to see me, and you're going to send me a gift." Yu Guozhen said slowly: "I happen to have something to say to you Japanese people, so I will take time to see you." I am very happy to see the gift you have given, do you have anything to ask of me? ”

When Yajiro Beiwei heard Yu Guozhen say that he had something to say to the Japanese people, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and he was really right. However, he was a careful person, so he didn't ask Yu Guozhen what he said, but said respectfully: "Your Highness won this time, from now on, Hoi An will be under the rule of Your Highness, if Your Highness has anything to contribute, the servants will not hesitate." If His Highness gives permission, the servants are also willing to devote themselves to His Highness's command and serve His Highness! ”

He said these words in a tone that made Yu Guozhen really surprised.

In Daming, he swept away the Liukou, but there were no people who came to pay homage to him as the lord, but he went to Annam, but he occupied a small area of Hoi An, first Hu Jingshui, and then this widow, who wanted to take refuge in him!

Hu Jingshui has dealt with him a lot, has seen his methods, and he rescued him from Haikou, so it is not surprising that he took refuge, but this is the first time he has met, why do you want to take refuge?

"In order to show the sincerity of the servants, I am willing to dedicate all the family property to His Highness for military purposes!" Yajiro Beibei said again.

"I have no interest in your possessions, but if you want to offer it, I won't refuse." Yu Guozhen frowned, courteous to others, there must be something to ask for, this Japanese people have such a big cost, and what they ask for is not small: "What do you need?" ”

"Servant, please send troops to the Wa Kingdom, Jing Nanqin King!" Yajiro Beiwei sat up straight at this time: "Watching the behavior of His Royal Highness, he is really a first-class talent of the Tang Dynasty, and now he is ...... in the country."

Yu Guozhen sat up straight and stretched out a hand: "Wait a minute, what's your name?" ”

"Yajiro ......"

"Real name, I hope you don't hide anything from me." Yu Guozhen sneered.

Yajiro Guard, who doesn't even have a surname, is only the lowest level of farmers and the like in the Wa Kingdom, where can he say such words, and it is impossible to have such ambitions!

Yajiro Bingwei hesitated for a moment, and then bowed deeply: "The servant endures humiliation and steals his life, and he has a tarnished family name, and he originally wanted to restore the family name before the Tokugawa clan was wiped out, but since His Royal Highness asked, the servant did not dare not answer." The surname of the servant Tang is Qin, and the surname of the Wa State is Changzong and my department. ”

"Huh?"

When Yu Guozhen came to Hoi An, he knew that he would often deal with the Japanese people, so he learned about the current situation in the Japanese country. In addition, he also had some understanding of the surname of Chozong Ibu through the games of later generations, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Tosa's Chozong Ibu family? ”

Yajiro Bingwei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this His Royal Highness Ming Guo really has the world in mind, and even the name of his family name as a Tosa tyrant has heard of it!

"Yes, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't expect the name of the servant's family to enter the ears of His Royal Highness."

He then said his identity, Changzong and my family were originally Chinese, claiming to be the descendants of the first emperor, so the Han surname was Qin or Win, settled in Tosa on the island of Shikoku in the Wa Kingdom, passed down for many years, and became a lord, and at its peak, even occupied the entire Shikoku Island.

Yu Guozhen was not very interested in the glory of the so-called Chosamune family, and Yajiro Beiwei's self-proclaimed Chinese descent was nothing more than sophistry in his opinion. At least when the Nagamune family followed the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi to invade the dynasty, they still fought with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Yajiro Beiwei said for a long time that their family was confiscated by the current Tokugawa shogunate because they worked for the Toyotomi clan, and even after the Toyotomi family lost the defense of Osaka Castle, almost all of the descendants were executed, which did not arouse any sympathy from Yu Guozhen.

He was interested in whether this guy had finally gone incognito and hid in Hoi An, and whether he could take advantage of this guy's hatred for the Tokugawa shogunate to meddle in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Guozhen felt that this could be used as an idle move, but it was not worth his full management at the moment.

With Hoi An, he will have a grain base, and then use Hoi An as a pedal to enter the Mekong Delta, then not only can his food problem be completely solved, but there will never be any monkeys in the future to compete with China for the South China Sea Islands, and even he can further consider the Strait of Malacca. As for the Wa State, it is more appropriate to honestly serve as a dumping ground for various industrial products of Xinxiang.

"And what's your real name?"

"The father of the servant, for the right doctor of the Chozong and my department, was affected by the Sheng family, was ordered by the Tokugawa shogunate to cut the abdomen, fortunately there was a substitute warrior to die, and the first father and his servant hid in ......Annam together" Seeing Yu Guozhen's obviously unhappy expression, Yajiro Bingwei finally ended his memories of his family tree: "The ancestor gave the servant the name of Changzong and my department. ”

Yu Guozhen smacked his lips: "I am a person of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to interfere in the affairs of the Japanese country." ”

"Your Majesty also knows, so you are just borrowing troops from Your Highness. His Royal Highness's samurai, borrowing a thousand from his servants, is enough for his servants to take away their inheritance. At that time, the servant will definitely present the household registration map to His Highness, call the minister a tribute, and be a vassal forever! ”

Yu Guozhen couldn't help but sigh twice, but he made a wishful thinking, offered his family property in exchange for a thousand elite soldiers, and then regained the family business. If it can be done, it is just a nominal minister, and the widow in front of him really regards himself as a wronged man.

He didn't know that Changzong and my clan did not treat him as the wronged leader, but just handled affairs according to the practice of tributary diplomacy in East Asia at this time.

"I have limited troops, so I can't help you." Yu Guozhen categorically refused, and then said with a smile: "However, if you want to come to the Tokugawa family so brutally, the country will inevitably be in turmoil, you will have a chance sooner or later, and I can help you when the time comes." ”

This is also an empty vernacular pie, but Changzong and my relatives still showed a grateful look: "The original servant's request was extremely rude. His Majesty did not dare to immediately ask His Highness to send troops to the mainland, and His Majesty's intention was to ask His Highness to send troops to Ryukyu. ”

If he said something else, Yu Guozhen would laugh at it, but hearing him talk about Ryukyu, Yu Guozhen suddenly became alert.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Ryukyu Kingdom was small and weak, and more than 20 years ago, it was forced by the Shimazu family of the Satsuma domain to cut off its northern five islands. The Ryukyus are close to the Wakoku and are on the route from Wakoku to Hoi An, so if their subordinates can get the Ryukyus, they can recruit ronins and wait for the opportunity of the Wa civil unrest. ”

Yu Guozhen's eyes stared at Qin Sheng of Changzong and my department, this gaze made Qin Sheng feel very strange, and he felt that his plan did not seem to be disrespectful to this His Highness, why would he be like this?

"Changzong and my department are pro-sheng, you seem to have forgotten one thing, Ryukyu has always been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and the lord of the Ryukyu country even presented a household registration atlas, therefore, the Ryukyu country is the territory of the Ming Dynasty." After Yu Guozhen finished speaking, he added lightly: "Since ancient times, it is!" ”

Changzong and my relatives were stunned.

He had dealt with the Ming people a lot, so he deduced that Yu Guozhen was the kind of first-class person who was interested in the affairs of the king, how could this kind of person take the Ming court in his eyes, and it was impossible to treat a vassal state of the Ming State as a one. He thought that after he had sacrificed his family wealth, his highness would send one or two thousand soldiers, which would be enough to help him seize the Ryukyus and expel the bastards of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma domain, but why did he react like this?

"His servants have been operating in Hoi An for nearly 30 years and have accumulated a lot of wealth, which is converted into silver, which is nearly 100,000 yuan...... It is equivalent to 750,000 taels of silver in the Ming Kingdom. "Changzong and my clan Qin Sheng thought about it in his heart, and felt that this must be this His Highness who didn't know how much wealth he could give, so he said respectfully.

Seven hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver!

This number really surprised Yu Guozhen, he killed and killed, worked hard for three or four years, and earned only a little more than this number. And judging from the pro-sheng attitude of Changzong and my department, I'm afraid that these 750,000 taels of silver are not all amounts!

Yu Guozhen's first thought was to swallow this piece of fat sent to the door.

But after a while, he laughed.

This guy is not a fool, and judging by Hoi An's situation, it is impossible for him to hide nearly a million taels of silver in Hoi An Harbor.

"Changzong and my family are very interested, I am very interested in your silver, but even if you take all the gold and silver mountains of the entire Wa Kingdom, you will not want to exchange an inch of Ryukyu land. It's the land of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kingdom of China, and one day I'll go there and drive away the bastards of the Satsuma clan you mentioned. ”

Hearing this, Changzong and my family realized that he had miscalculated: this highness would not allow others to get involved in Ryukyu at all, because in his eyes, Ryukyu was in his bag!

"Yes, yes, the servant has trespassed." Although he was a little disapproving, and even a little strange, why did Yu Guozhen insist so much on the small island country that had almost no property and relied on going to the Ming Kingdom to "tributary" trade, but Changzong and my department still respectfully responded to the order.

His attitude made Yu Guozhen a little unbearable, and paused: "In other words, I can't help you for the time being, you go find someone else to support you." ”

"Your Majesty has been waiting for thirty years, and Your Highness is Your Majesty's only hope." Changzong and my subordinates said: "I have seen the military power of His Highness, and my servant firmly believes this. As long as His Highness agrees to help His Highness restore his family name at a convenient time in the future, His Highness is still willing to donate his property as military funds for His Highness. ”

This guy is still dead, Yu Guozhen did not rush to refuse, he thought that he was just about to deal with the affairs of the Japanese people in Hoi An, just like using Nguyen Phuc Creek to drive away the Annam people in the Hoi An area, it seems that he can also use the relatives of Changzong and my department to solve the small trouble caused by the Japanese people in Hoi An.

"Qin Sheng, since you say so, then I will laugh and accept." The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he said: "However, my subordinates do not take in incompetent people, so I have one thing to explain to you, if you do it well, then, you can serve under me!" ”

"Yes, yes, please command Your Highness!" Changzong and my family were in a stirring mood and said in a trembling voice.

"I am going to issue a sword hunting order to the Japanese people in Hoi An, and this matter will be handed over to you to carry out, and any Japanese people who carry a knife in a public place other than you will be regarded as a conspiracy, and will be immediately executed and their property confiscated." Yu Guozhen said coldly.
