"Father, please don't do this, let your son seppuku, the son is the governor of the Shimazu family. 【】" Shimazu Qixuan knelt down in front of Shimazu Shigehiro and said with tears streaming down his face.

"Bastard! Do you think that the Qing people on the other side are idiots, who doesn't know that the Shimazu family is now the master of my house. "Shigehiro Shimazu, who was fed up with this idiot son, angrily kicked Shimazu Qixuan twice, which was a little relieved. This idiot, Lao Tzu is dead, and he can't be the governor anymore, otherwise, the Shimazu family will really be destroyed. Shimazu Shigehiro was furious and made up his mind in his heart.

"Someone's coming, my lord." Ni Ming reminded the young master Liang who was enjoying the beautiful fireworks in the area where the artillery bombardment was using binoculars, and the sound of his mouth was slurking.

"So fast? It seems that he is afraid of being bombed, so he goes around in such a big circle. Liang Pengfei looked in the direction Ni Ming was pointing and couldn't help laughing. Soon, the old man of the Shimazu family fell down in front of Liang Pengfei in a five-body bow, and told Liang Pengfei in stiff Chinese about the conditions offered by Shimazu Shigehao, and the young master Liang rolled his eyes.

"The former governor of your family seppuku, and then the current governor lives in seclusion, what else is there? Oh, is Shimazu Qixing the governor? Liang Pengfei sat on a big rock, looking at the important minister of the Shimazu family in front of him, with a look of disdain.

"Yes, if the general agrees, my lord is willing to do so, just hoping to forgive my Shimazu family for the sins they committed in the past." Xi Cheng replied again.

"It's not impossible, but I'm not interested in watching people play seppuku, and as for seclusion or anything, I don't need to. That, tell your father-in-law, come directly to me, I have important things to talk to him, since he has relented, then, many things, I believe that your father-in-law, will be very interested. Liang Pengfei patted his thigh and smiled.

Liang Pengfei's answer surprised Xi Chengcheng, he didn't expect Liang Pengfei to be so good at talking, he didn't even need seppuku or anything. Could it be that the blood of the Satsuma samurai who were killed and injured by the Shimazu family in resisting the invasion of the Qing fleet this time was tantamount to being shed in vain?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

When I think of this, I feel the urge to vomit blood in depression. And in the same way, after the two Shimazu Shigehao heard the answer brought back by Kiri Masei, Shimazu Shigehao was so annoyed that he almost wanted to stab himself twice in the stomach with a knife.

"Actually, I came here just to have a good talk with you, who knows, but you are so unreasonable, don't you know that our Heavenly Empire is a state of etiquette, and it is generally talked about first and then fought?" In Kagoshima Castle, Honmaru and Liang Pengfei sat barefoot in the position where he should have been the governor, leaning on the couch railing, and using the burning cigar butt in his hand to say dissatisfied to Shigemo Shimazu and others who fell to the floor.

Hearing this, the pen in Ni Ming's hand, who was thinking about how to deal with the follow-up affairs, almost fell to the ground. What is this called, and what is it called talking first and then fighting. As Liang Pengfei's advisor, Ni Ming hurriedly added: "What my family lord means is that if you can follow our advice, this battle is actually not necessary at all. ”

"I'll wait for the damn, and ask the general to punish him." Shimazu Shigehao didn't look up, and the other party used their terrifying means that were so powerful that Shimazu Shigehao and others trembled from the depths of their souls to trample the martial arts and dignity of the Shimazu family.

And the strong man who made it difficult for them to resist not only did not drive out the Shimazu family as they imagined, but also did not even ask Shimazu Shigehao to cut his stomach, and Shimazu Qixuan lived in seclusion, which allowed Shimazu Shigehao, who could continue to live to teach his uncompetitive son and strive to make the Shimazu family carry forward, did not have much anger in his heart except for chagrin. It's just that his heart is full of doubts, and he doesn't understand what this great general wants to do?

"I've heard that your Satsuma clan is very poor, and you even owe a lot of foreign debts to the merchants of Osaka and Nagasaki, right?" Liang Pengfei looked at this short and sturdy Shimadzu Shigehao, raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, my Satsuma Domain does owe a lot of money to those wealthy merchants." Shimazu Qixuan hurriedly replied, for his father Shimazu Shigehao's ability to spend money, Shimazu Qixuan is both helpless and admired, you know, at the beginning of Shimazu Shigehao became the governor of the Shimazu family, the Shimazu family did not dare to say that it was rich in reserves, but at least it could be matched with his identity as the second largest feudal domain of the Japanese country, but since Shimazu Shigehao came to the front and began to really gain real power to deal with political affairs, the Shimazu family's money was spent like water spilled out, in order to make friends with the general's family, for the development of his own family, for his own interests and hobbies, During his more than 30 years in power, Shigehiro Shimazu, who liked Western knowledge and longed for the Edo atmosphere, turned the assets of the Shimazu family from positive to negative, and one negative was a negative of several million.

At the beginning of Shimazu's rise to power, I learned that even if the Shimazu family's treasury was cut through the cracks in the wall, they would not want to find a copper plate, and even if they were rats entered, they would have to carry a bag of tears and some baggage to go away.

"Holy!" Liang Pengfei never thought that the Satsuma Domain, which relied on the income from the maritime trade of the Ryukyus, would be so poor, it seems that the former governor is really a fucking spendthrift guy, and he actually owes three or four million yuan in foreign debts in more than 30 years, which makes Liang Pengfei have to admire this old guy who will not exceed 1.5 meters tall.

His mother's, a master of playing with money, a typical loser, if it weren't for Liang Pengfei taking care of his image, maybe this would really pull the bad old man aside and beat him up for a beating, and teach this old guy who burns money to play a lesson.

"So, I want to ask you, how are you going to repay the money you owe to the Ryukyus, you know, your Emperor Your Majesty and your shogunate have agreed that I have the right to dispose of any daimyo who offends me in the Wa Kingdom, and you owe me money, and now you can't come up with the money, are you ready to let me prepare to do it?"

"This ......" The people of the Shimazu family, you look at me and I see everything, all like Wang Ba, their heads stretch and shrink, but they can't hold back a fart.

"If you can't afford to pay your debts, I can point you out." Liang Pengfei really didn't want to interfere with them, so he simply talked to himself. "First, your Shimazu family provides me with 50,000 laborers a year, and second, as a creditor of your Shimazu family, I have the right to demand that you do things for me, and you must obey unconditionally, and third, ......"

"But Your Excellency, our Satsuma Domain is located in Kyushu, and this area does not have a large population in the first place, but it provides 50,000 laborers every year...... This, this is simply impossible. After Liang Pengfei finished saying all the conditions, Shimazu Qixuan grabbed the conversation and replied, which made his father Shimazu Shigehao feel that his son was not completely demented.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Did I say that you should all recruit in Kyushu?" Liang Pengfei glared at Shimazu Qixuan. "The whole Wa country, anywhere, as long as you recruit people to me, and the money you owe me can be deducted according to the head, and I will also give you a commission, okay, you think about it, I need your affirmative answer, you know, my time is very rich."

"Yes, Your Excellency General, please rest assured, we will reply to you in the shortest possible time." Shigehiro Shimazu and the others left the room backwards and ran to the courtyard to discuss fiercely, while Liang Pengfei began to wrench his fingers, where he calculated how much labor was needed to excavate various mineral deposits in the central islands of the South Seas, how much it would take to build roads, and how much it would take to train a servant army to be used as cannon fodder.

Ni Ming and the others next to him were shocked when they heard it, according to Liang Pengfei's calculations, I am afraid that the 20 million population of the entire Wa Kingdom will not be enough to fill it. "It's a pity, but it doesn't matter, fortunately, there are still those natives in Nanyang, and there is also the Korean country in the west, and there are quite a few people there." Liang Pengfei said with some regret, as if the 20 million population of this Japanese country was already under his control.

"My lord, although those Japanese people don't like to leave their homeland like us, but if they want to leave the familiar environment and go overseas, I'm afraid it won't be many of them, right?" Ni Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, don't worry, when we control the economic lifeline of the Wa Kingdom, let the emperor and the general pinch each other, and plunge the entire Wa Kingdom into chaos, and there will be wars everywhere, at that time, without us opening our mouths, those displaced and lost Wa people will naturally cry and shout and beg us to take them in," Liang Pengfei lowered his voice and smiled lightly, but there was a sense of gloom and coldness in that tone.

Wu Qianjin couldn't help but wipe the sweat that had just soaked out of his forehead: "Young Master, the Japanese people haven't offended our old Liang family, right?" Little how do you think you want to ......"

"Why, think I'm trying to kill them?" Liang Pengfei couldn't help but smile. "That's right, they haven't offended me, but they have offended us in China, do you know that from the beginning of the Sui Dynasty to the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, these uncivilized people kept sending people to learn etiquette from my Huaxia, learn science and technology and culture, but after they finished learning, not only did they not appreciate virtue, but they came to offend my Huaxia. Do you remember the Ming Dynasty's Rebellion? Do you remember how many troops were dispatched by the Ming Dynasty when the Japanese invaded Korea during the Wanli period? How many wives have been separated.

Therefore, to deal with this group of unfamiliar wolf cubs, now that I have the opportunity and ability, I naturally have to play with them well, so that they will never have a chance to turn over and bite us again. The Satsuma Domain had been at odds with the Shogunate since more than 200 years ago, and the Emperor also made the Shogunate complain, as well as the Choshu Domain...... If Lao Tzu doesn't use them, let them form an undying enmity, and let them live in the infighting forever, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Liang. Liang Pengfei sneered and said, Yes, there will be no more chances.
