Chapter 564: The Three Asai Sisters
Li Dan was drinking tea while looking at Li Xiao, and he was also calculating Li Xiao's status today.
Echichu, Noto, Hida, Kaga, Sado, Wakasa, and Tanba Banguo, a total of seven countries, with a population of nearly one million, nearly 10,000 battalions (worthy of standing reserves), and 40,000 military households capable of fighting.
As a person of the Ming Kingdom, he has been fighting to this day in this country outside the domain, which has always been called Fuso.
The prowess of such a character is really a military general in the imperial court, and it is difficult to find.
I heard that the court is not resting now, if Li Xiao is in it, he will definitely be able to stabilize the country and establish some merits.
Li Dan put down the Longjing tea again, looked at Li Xiaoyan and said, "Lord Li, I heard that in the past, the Wa Kingdom had the intention of peeking eastward, and the result was that Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty broke the Baicun River. Now, after hundreds of years of chaos, I have heard that the Japanese kingdom will be reunited by a powerful lord. ”
"When the time comes, if the lord of the Japanese kingdom wants to go further and deliberately get involved in North Korea, or even the Ming Dynasty, where will Lord Li go?"
Li Xiao saw Li Dan's eyes looking straight at him, his eyes were like knives.
For such words that go straight to his heart, Li Xiao has always refused to answer positively.
But now he wants to gather the heart of this future, the overlord of the seven seas, and he replied without hesitation at the moment, saying: "Although I am in the Wa Kingdom, I have never forgotten my identity as a Ming country, and my children and grandchildren will not forget, if one day, someone in the Wa Kingdom intends to do mischief against the Ming Kingdom, no matter who it is, I should attack it!" ”
"Well said!" Li Dan clapped his hands loudly and said, flicking his robe first, and said to Li Xiaozuo: "Lord Li is high-spirited, please accept my worship." ”
Li Xiao nodded. Yan said: "Brother Li, I admire you, Your Excellency was arrested by the imperial court, but your loyalty has not changed, so you admire it." ”
Li Dan nodded. "Ashamed, ashamed. The way to make a living at sea depended on the cooperation of the brothers, so they could not abandon it and embark on the road of hostility to the imperial court. But I have also read books since I was a child, and I will never forget Huayi's distinction. ”
Li Xiao nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's right." ”
Then Li Dan suddenly said: "Lord Li, please forgive me for taking the liberty of hearing that Your Excellency is a hundred households of Funing Wei, can you want to visit your family in Fujian." You can ...... under "
Li Xiao heard Li Dan say this, and his face changed slightly.
At this moment, with his current status, he is not worried about the other party revealing his identity.
At that moment, Li Xiao directly interrupted the other party's words and said: "I am not from a hundred households in Funingwei. ”
Li Dan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He bowed his head and said no more.
Of course, Li Xiao won't explain anything, or make up other lies to make up other lies, with his current status, there is no need to say anything more to Li Dan, but in any case, he is a member of the Ming Kingdom. Li Dan will not doubt it.
At that moment, Li Xiao and Li Dan said a few more words, and suddenly smiled slightly. Mysteriously said to Li Dan: "I have a heavy treasure, give it to my brother." ”
Seeing Li Xiao solemnly, Li Dan couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but thinking that Li Xiao said this, there was definitely something different. Give yourself a look.
At that moment, Li Xiao ordered someone to take a cylinder.
Li Xiao personally opened the lid of the cylinder. Take out a thick piece of paper from the tube.
Li Xiao slowly opened the paper, and Li Dan's eyes widened, waiting for Li Xiao to show Li Dan the whole picture of the paper.
Li Dan's expression was slightly stunned, but then he returned to his normal color, and said, "Master Li, isn't this the nautical chart of the whole world?" But it doesn't seem to be quite the same as what I've seen before. ”
It will be Li Xiao's turn to be surprised. …,
Yes, the map in his hand is the world map, which Li Xiao drew roughly with his memory, although it can't be too detailed, but it is also the world map closest to the truth in this world.
As far as Li Xiao knows, in this era, thanks to the missionaries, the Japanese people saw this world map one step ahead of the Ming people.
Four years later, the Ming Kingdom was presented to the Wanli Emperor by the missionary Matteo Ricci with the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" that was the first world map that could be recorded in historical materials.
Li Dan said with a smile: "Our brothers who run on the sea have a lot of dealings with those Hongyi ghosts, and I have already seen a lot of their charts." I think that although the red ghost is vulgar, he also has the ability, so I bought a few pictures like this and looked at them in my spare time. ”
The Hongyi in Li Dan's mouth is the Netherlands in this era, the Dutch East India Company, and a powerful maritime power in the Malacca Sea.
The real Dutch East India Company had not yet been established at this time, but its pioneers had already followed the Portuguese in Malacca.
After Li Xiao understood the reason, he said to Li Dan: "My picture is different from the picture in the hands of the Hongyi people, you look at this corner." ”
Li Xiao swiped his hand, pointed to the place on the Australian continent on the map, and said: "Thousands of miles away from Malacca, there is still a continent, and its land is thousands of miles in circumference, which is enough to accommodate millions of people living on it. ”
When Li Dan heard this, he was surprised and said: "There is such a place, so why no one in the world knows about it, not even Hongyi and Franco. ”
Li Xiao said with a smile: "Naturally, I secretly purchased this from a missionary, Brother Tai can want to try this, this place is ten times more fertile and rich than the Japanese country." ”
Li Dan hesitated, his face solemn.
Li Xiao understands that the fixed concept of the Chinese is that they are unwilling to leave their homeland, and it is indeed a bit difficult for them to stay away from the ocean and go to Australia to reclaim and live.
If they didn't have the courage and faith, Li Xiao would not have been able to impose his will on them.
However, Li Xiao felt that his task had been accomplished, and he opened a door for Li Dan and them, but whether they were willing or not, it was up to Li Dan and them to take steps out of this gate and go to a new world.
Li Dan finally said: "I am very grateful for Lord Li's kindness, this matter cannot be answered immediately, and I need to discuss one or two with my brothers before making a decision." ”
Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's so good, come and drink tea." ”
Li Xiao and Li Dan had another cup of tea, and then Li Dan resigned.
Li Xiao looked at the other party as if he was in a state of his mind, and he didn't know what decision he would make.
Just as Li Xiao was drinking tea, His Excellency the Tenshu reported closely: "Yagatataden, Maeda-sama, his wife Amatsu, and the three daughters of the princess of the Oda family, have come to ask for a meeting. ”
Li Xiao heard the names of these people, guessed the reason for the situation at the moment, and said, "Let them come to see." ”
Not long ago, Tian Li's family, Ah Song, and the three sisters of Na Asai knelt down and saluted Li Xiao together.
During the salute, Li Xiao saw Ah Shi's youngest daughter, who seemed to straighten up, and was a little reluctant to salute Li Xiao.
Suddenly, this little girl, who was only six years old, ignored her sister's obstruction, suddenly stood up, pointed at Li Xiao with one hand, and said loudly: "This person is the murderer of our mother, why do you bow down to him?" ”
This little girl's bold words suddenly made Maeda Toshiya, Ah Song, and her two sisters all change color.
"Be bold, Ajiang, and don't make amends to the Yagata Temple."
"I don't want it, I don't want to die." The little girl of the Asai family pouted stubbornly. …,
Seeing that Ah Song's dissuasion was ineffective, cold sweat was dripping from Maeda Toshiya's forehead, and he knelt down a few steps forward on his knees, and said to Li Xiaoyan: "Lord, the little girl is not sensible, please don't be surprised." ”
Li Xiao looked at the six-year-old girl, her eyebrows were picturesque, and then thinking of the legendary experience in the other party's history, she couldn't help but feel that the so-called three-year-old seeing the old was still a bit reliable.
"Your name is Ajiang, is it E. Asai?"
Li Xiao said with a straight face.
Ah Song hurriedly replied and said, "Returning to ......"
Li Xiao waved his head, signaling that Ah Song didn't need to say much, and looked at Asai Jiang.
Asai Jiang looked at Li Xiao's forced gaze, after all, he still felt a little hairy in his heart, and said: "Yes, I am Ajiang, the daughter of Asai Bei Qianshou." ”
Well, Li Xiao nodded, turned his head to look at Qiantian Li's family, and said, "This little girl can be outspoken, and she may have a good home in the future, you take good care of him." ”
Maeda Toshi's family, Ah Song heard that Li Xiao didn't care, and they were all overjoyed at the moment, and said in a heaval manner: "Thank you, Yagata Hall." ”
Immediately, Li Xiao turned his head and looked at the other two women.
The two of them looked at Li Xiao and swept their eyes, and a slightly older woman wearing a fire coat took the lead and said calmly: "See the Yagata Hall, I am Cha Cha." ”
When the other woman saw Li Xiao, she was obviously very frightened, her body trembled a little, and she said, "See the house-shaped hall, I am Ah Chu." ”
Li Xiao nodded slightly when he saw this, the three sisters of Asai really have their own characteristics, and nodded slightly at the moment.
In the role of winning over the Maeda Toshi family and destroying the Oda family, Li Xiao will not do anything to these three women.
Of course, from their resentment towards Li Xiao because of their mother's death, this is indelible, and Li Xiao can't easily resolve it.
But there is no theorem in this troubled world, and later Chacha did not marry Hashiba Hideyoshi, and at that time Hashiba Hideyoshi was the murderer who attacked Otani Castle and forced Asai Nagamasa to commit suicide.
At that moment, Li Xiaoyan said: "The two countries are fighting each other, each for its own master, and I came to attack Beizhizhuang City on the order of the lord's family, which is also a matter of loyalty, and I am helpless against the death of your mother." ”
"But resentment against me will not hurt me, nor will it help you in your future life, so what you can understand today will understand, and if you can't, that's it."
At that moment, Li Xiao flicked his sleeves, Maeda Toshi's family, and Ah Song were all like they had been amnestied, and after saluting Li Xiao again, they took the three Asai sisters and retreated.
Before leaving, Asai Jiang turned his head and stared at Li Xiao with his big eyes in a daze.
Li Xiao just smiled slightly and smiled in return.
At this moment, Li Xiao suddenly thought that with his intervention, the experience of the three Asai sisters at this moment would also change compared to history, I don't know what fate they will have?
