Today's third update is delivered

Of course, in the era of muskets, how much skill a swordsman can have, I'm afraid most of them are legends. No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives. With a musket in hand, one shot knocked down. The words are not rough. Weapons like the Minny gun are not to mention for the time being, ordinary smoothbore guns, hit Miyamoto Musashi's body, I am afraid that they will also bloom. What invulnerability, that's all a fool, I'm afraid that Miyamoto Musashi himself won't believe it.

Besides, what Miyamoto Musashi is good at is open dueling, assassination, etc., which is the specialty of ninjas. Miyamoto Musashi is not a ninja. In fact, the relationship between Miyamoto Musashi and Japanese ninjas is quite bad. If it weren't for the fact that he himself was really strong in kung fu, he would have been assassinated by the Japanese ninjas who didn't like him.

"I have great respect for Musashi-san's swordsmanship. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to ask Mr. Shoichi to convey my greetings to Mr. Musashi. We also have a lot of swordsmen in Mingguo, so if Mr. Musashi is interested, you might as well visit Mingguo. ”

Zhang Zhun smiled and said casually.

"The Governor is indeed a hospitable man. For your country's Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, Uncle Jia is indeed very admired. It is said that the swordsmen of your country are all from famous mountains and rivers. The scenery is beautiful and the people are outstanding. If my uncle had time, he would definitely go to your country. ”

Miyamoto Shoichi's compliments are obviously very homely, and there is no trace of the sycophants, and even Zhang Zhun feels very useful. Because, even he himself wants to know, if Miyamoto Musashi really goes to the Central Plains with his sword and challenges Shaolin Temple or Wudang Mountain, I don't know what the consequences will be?

Come to think of it, Shaolin Wudang is the Taishan Beidou of martial arts, so there shouldn't be any foreign appearances, right? Well, confidence, confidence, you must have confidence in Shaolin Wudang! Even if you can't beat it at the beginning, in the end, there will definitely be a master like a sweeping monk...... Lord Dudu's thoughts began to fly away.

"Mr. Miyamoto, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

Finally, Zhang Zhun pulled Hu Si 1uan back and went straight to the topic.

"That's ......"

Miyamoto Shoichi hurriedly seized the opportunity to express his true intentions.

His whereabouts are indeed very mysterious when he arrives this time. Because, he came on behalf of the Japanese Imperial Family. On the Japanese imperial side, he sent someone to find Miyamoto Musashi, hoping that Miyamoto Musashi would find a way to get in touch with the Tiger Ben Army and safeguard the interests of the Japanese imperial family. For this matter, Miyamoto Musashi naturally can't shirk it. For the sake of prudence, he decided to send his nephew to Sado Island first to find out the tone of the Tiger Army, and then make a decision.

The Japanese Imperial Family promised that as long as the Tiger Army helped them eliminate the shogunate and regain the power to rule Japan, they were willing to lease Sado Island to the Tiger Army in perpetuity, and the lease period could be negotiated and decided. In other words, the Tiger Army can permanently garrison Sado Island. Of course, all this is secret and cannot be made public.

"Mr. Miyamoto, I also want to rent a place."

Zhang Zhun was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Where?"

Miyamoto Shoichi asked hurriedly.

"Iwami Ginzan."

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

"This ......"

Miyamoto Masaichi suddenly turned bitter on his face.

The value of Iwami Ginzan is known throughout Japan. In Japan's foreign trade, there is a type of silver called Satsuma silver, which is very pure and popular. This Satsuma silver is produced by Iwami Ginzan, and it is very famous. All the merchants took pride in receiving pure Satsuma silver in their trade.

On the contrary, there is little understanding of the value of Sado Island in Japan. Except for a very small number of people in the shogunate, who knew that there were gold and silver mines on Sado Island, no one else knew. If the Japanese had known that the gold and silver reserves on Sado Island were not under Iwami Ginzan, they would definitely not have leased Sado Island to the Tiger Army.

"Mr. Shoichi, if it weren't for the help of our army, Iwami Ginzan would never have been yours. Ishimi Silver Mountain's silver, you can't get a tael or two. You will not get any other mountains of silver. I know that there are many silver mountains in Japan, and Iwami is just the largest of them. If you cooperate with us, you will only lose one Iwami Ginzan, but you will gain all the other Ginzan. With such an easy job, I believe it is not difficult to make a choice. ”

Zhang Zhun stared at Miyamoto Shoichi with shining eyes and said eloquently.

For his sake, there is no need to use any foreign words. What he wants, he can say bluntly. Moreover, there is no room for bargaining in between. The other party can only choose to accept or not to accept. To be a superior person is to have such domineering and privileges.

"This ......"

Miyamoto Shoichi fought fiercely in his thoughts, and he stopped talking.

Giving up Iwami Ginzan, Miyamoto Shoichi is indeed reluctant. The Japanese imperial family is certainly not willing. In fact, everyone fights back and forth, and the ultimate goal is not for power and silver? At the beginning, the extremely poor Japanese imperial family sold purple robes to the monks of the temple in disguise, for the purpose of making money. As a result, there was a big turmoil.

However, Zhang Zhun's words are not wrong. Iwami Ginzan, currently firmly controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate, has no share in them at all. Elsewhere, the silver mountains were also controlled by the shogunate, and they also did not have their share. If they abandon Iwami Ginzan, they can also obtain other silver mountains. Added up to the other silver mountains, the output of silver will definitely not be less than that of Iwami Silver Mountain. Rather than get nothing, it's better to get the other half.

You can't win 'em all. At the same time as the loss of Iwami Ginzan, or another Ginzan, it is not unacceptable for the Japanese imperial family. The key is to understand your own weight and put yourself in the right position. The current Japanese imperial family, without Zhang Zhun's help, would not be able to gain any power at all. If you continue to be ambitious, I am afraid that you will never be able to grasp power.

"Mr. Shoichi, the more sluggish your decision is, the stronger the power of the shogunate will be. The longer the time dragged on, the more silver taels they could mine from Iwami Ginzan, the more weapons and equipment they could buy, and the more armies they could build. ”

"Also, I don't know if you have received the news that the fleet of the Dutchmen has arrived in Hiroshima and is ready to come to the direct aid of the shogunate. The Dutch probably brought a large number of weapons such as large guns and iron cannons to the shogunate. If the Dutch had more ships coming, they were afraid that things would be even more troublesome. Therefore, please make a decision as soon as possible, Mr. Shoichi. ”

Zhang Zhun sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and said step by step.

"What? The Dutch arrived in Hiroshima? ”

Miyamoto was taken aback.

Obviously, this news also frightened him. For the strength of the Dutch, it is certainly impossible for Miyamoto Shoichi not to know. Prior to this, the Dutch and the Japanese had also been in contact, but the relationship was not close enough. With the help of the Dutch, they wanted to bring down the shogunate, but it was even more difficult.

Whether the Dutch fleet will directly participate in the war is still unknown for the time being. However, the Dutch sent a large amount of weapons and equipment to the shogunate, and the problem was fatal enough. The shogunate army was already very strong, and if it had more weapons and equipment, wouldn't it be even stronger? It was precisely because of the large amount of silver mined from Iwami Silver Mountain that the shogunate had the funds to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from the outside world.

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

Miyamoto Masaochi frowned, undecided.

Giving Iwami Ginzan to the Tiger Army, of course, can greatly weaken the power of the shogunate army. However, in case the Japanese imperial family gains power in the future, it will be too difficult to get Iwami Silver Mountain back from Zhang Zhun's hands. For this point, Miyamoto Shoichi is convinced - when did Zhang Zhun take a fancy to something that he was willing to let out?

"My lord, the Dutch have a messenger coming!"

Suddenly, Wang Shide hurried over and reported to Zhang Zhun.

"Huh?"

Miyamoto Shoichi's face changed dramatically again.

The Dutch came to Zhang Zhun and wanted to do something? Could it be that the Dutch have come to write a war letter? Or was the Dutch ready to work with the Tiger Army? If the former is fine, if the latter is the latter, it will be a complete tragedy. The Tiger Ben Army and the Dutch joined forces to deal with the Japanese, so didn't the Japanese die even scum?

"Wang Shide, take Mr. Shoyi Miyamoto down to rest."

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly.

Immediately, he smiled apologetically at Maseichi Miyamoto.

Zhang Zhun's smile made Miyamoto Shoichi even more suspicious. He always felt that there was too much in Zhang Zhun's smile. The subconscious told him that this incident was very bad for the Japanese people, well, to be precise, for the Japanese imperial family. He had to meet Jang Zhun's demands before the Dutch arrived.

"Lord Governor, I think Iwami Silver Mountain can be rented."

Miyamoto Shoichi immediately made a decision and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

"I swear in the name of Amaterasu!"

Miyamoto stepped out, straightened up, and said loudly.

"Good!"

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

"Please!"

Wang Shide made a gesture of invitation to Miyamoto Shoichi.

Miyamoto Shoichi obviously didn't want to leave, he looked at Zhang Zhun, wanting to get a further clear answer from Zhang Zhun's mouth. It's a pity that there are only two words "very good" in Zhang Zhun's mouth. After saying these two words, Zhang Zhun was like gold. There was no way, Miyamoto was good enough to leave with Wang Shide for the time being.

Moments after Miyamoto Shoichi left, Wang Junyu arrived with an envoy from the Dutch. The messenger of the Dutchmen was a familiar face. When he was in Yangzhou, Zhang Zhun had already met him. Although, Zhang Zhun no longer remembers his name.

"Honorable Governor of the Ming Kingdom, Anita greets you."

The Dutch envoy bowed to Zhang Zhun and saluted.
