The wolf smoke from the beacon tower aroused the vigilance of the crew, and the flag bearer responded: "Report to the commander, the wolf smoke alarm is coming from Daishan Island in the northwest, saying that it has found a Japanese invasion, and there are quite a few of them, with a total of four ships of about 2,000 materials. Zhoushan has been fully prepared. ”

Wu Tianxiao heard this and immediately ordered: "Order the whole team." Entering Shuangyu Port was suspended, and the fleet sailed at full speed to Daishan Island in the northwest. ”

After receiving the order, the fleet sailed at full speed to Daishan Island. However, after sailing for only half an hour, I saw the Zhoushan fleet from west to east, half-encircling, blocking four ships with the Fusang flag. Seeing that the four Fuso ships were estimated to be about 2,000 materials, the two sides did not fight. It's just that all the Fusang ships have lowered their sails, while the Zhoushan fleet is cruising around the Fusang ships with half-hung sails.

Wu Tianxiao also felt strange, Wu Dayou had been with him for a long time, and he knew best that Wu Tianxiao had always been non-nonsense about the Japanese Kou, either annihilating or hijacking ships, why did he fight against him this time without fighting. When Wu Tianxiao was puzzled, he asked the fleet to approach the Zhoushan fleet, and then asked the Zhoushan fleet about the situation in the flag language, and finally learned the reason. It turned out that these four Fusang ships were the ships of the Fusang tribute envoys, claiming to be going to Ningbo Mansion to dock and pay tribute.

In fact, when the Fuso fleet approached Shengsi Island, it was discovered by the soldiers stationed on the island on duty, and then lit the wolf smoke alarm. Later, the wolf smoke spread from Ququshan Island to Daishan Island, and finally spread throughout the Zhoushan Islands. After Wu Dayou was alerted, he led the Zhoushan fleet to intercept it. Finally, in the sea area forty miles east of Daishan Island, he caught up with these four Fusang ships.

However, after Wu Dayou fired a round of artillery at the Fusang fleet, several shells hit the Fusang ships, killing and wounding some of the Fusang people. The Fusang ships waved the banner of Fusang envoys, and there were Fusang people who knew Chinese and shouted vigorously to the Zhoushan fleet, indicating that they were Fusang envoys. Wu Dayou is also from a military background, and he has a more overall view, and he takes into account the diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty and Fusang. Beware that once there is no order from Wu Tianxiao, sinking the Fusang envoy fleet will cause a diplomatic dispute between the Ming and Fuso. Therefore, the Fuso fleet lowered its sails and waited for a response.

After Wu Tianxiao understood the situation, he asked Wu Dayou to send a ship to pick up the other party's envoy and people who could speak Chinese, and bring official vouchers to meet him. If the other party refuses to answer, it will be directly regarded as a Japanese cannon and killing. However, it was not long after that the Fusang envoy was brought to Wu Tianxiao's ship by the Guanhaizhai.

Wu Tianxiao didn't expect that the envoy of the other party turned out to be a Japanese man who was proficient in Chinese, and when he saw that the Japanese had just boarded the Zhoushan, he said in fluent Chinese: "The contemptible person is Tao Qingxian, the envoy of Ouchi Yoshitaka, the great name of Fusang Kingdom, and this time I came to Daming to meet with the Daming Nagong Dynasty on the order of the governor of the Ouchi family, and we have the emperor's will." May I ask which general of the Ming Dynasty is your general? ”

Wu Tianxiao didn't answer directly when he heard this, but asked, "What evidence do you have to show that you are not Haikou but Fusang officials?" ”

Tao Qingxian turned around and said a few words of Fusang to his subordinates, and saw a Fusang warrior holding a box in both hands and presenting it. Then Tao Qingxian said: "There is an official note from Yoshitaka Ouchi, the governor of the Ouchi family, and a trade document that is compatible with Emperor Fuso's permission. Please take a look at the general. ”

At this time, Tan Lun took the box, inspected it, and handed the documents to Wu Tianxiao to see. At this time, Fusang still admired the Han civilization very much, and although Fusang had Fusang writing in the country, the official documents were basically written in Chinese characters. So Wu Tianxiao can still understand these documents.

It's just that at this time, Wu Tianxiao didn't care about what was written on the paperwork, what he wanted was to find a way to find an excuse to detain the boat. Because the sea overflowed along the coast of Daming at this time, Wu Tianxiao urgently needed sea ships to transport the victims. Therefore, after just glancing at the Fusang national documents, he did not look deeply. Then he asked, "What cargo do you have on board?" ”

Tao Qingxian still doesn't know who is in front of him, but judging from the attire of Wu Tianxiao and his generals, he feels that he is not a Ming Dynasty officer and soldier. Because at this time, most of the Wu Jiajun were already equipped with standard weapons, as well as unified simple and convenient new Hanfu clothing. And the soldiers are the same as Wu Tianxiao, with short shaved hair and rattan helmets.

However, Tao Qingxian saw that the other party's appearance and tone were the same as those of the Ming people, and the last time he came to Daming Kanhe to trade was more than ten years ago. Since the battle for tribute took place sixteen years ago, Fusang came to Daming for the first time after sixteen years. And Tao Qingxian is also the first time to come to Daming, so he is not sure that it is not a Ming officer and soldier.

Tao Qingxian asked again: "The ship is full of goods that are suitable for trade, and there are no prohibited items. May I ask which general is the Ming Dynasty? ”

Wu Tianxiao didn't pay attention to the other party's question, and didn't want to say more to the other party, so he said bluntly: "It doesn't matter which general I am in the Ming Dynasty. The important thing is that you violated the Daming sea ban and trespassed into the Daming sea area without authorization. I now declare that your four sea-going vessels, along with all the supplies on board, have been requisitioned. If you dare to resist, there will be no forgiveness. ”

After Wu Tianxiao said that there was no forgiveness. The guards around him pulled out their knives one after another, raised their fire guns, and surrounded the dozen or so Fusang envoys brought by Tao Qingxian. Just waited for Wu Tianxiao to give an order, and then opened fire to kill. Although there were only a dozen people on the other side, after seeing this situation, they all pulled out their weapons and formed a circle, ready to fight hard.

I don't want that Tao Qingxian first said unhurriedly: "Slow." We are foreign envoys, and we have come to pay tribute to the Ming court. You can't be so rude. Then he said a word of Fusang to his own people, stabilizing the dozen or so Fuso warriors.

Wu Tianxiao originally just waited for these Fusang to get angry, and then began to slaughter, but he didn't want this person named Tao Qingxian to have some courage. However, no matter how Tao Qingxian copes, Wu Tianxiao is now in urgent need of ships to transport the victims, so these four Fusang ships are to be decided. Nai sneered: "The Daming Sea is forbidden, and it is a capital crime for you to trespass in the Daming Sea." Now that I have requisitioned your ships, if you dare to resist, you will die. Then he gave an order to his subordinates: "Order to the gunners, all the artillery use the shells, let the Fuso ships surrender, and those who dare to resist will be killed." I'm going to make a decision on these four ships. Then he ordered Tan Lun, Taiside and other guards around him: "Hold these Fusang people in prison." Dare to resist. Kill. ”

Just when Tan Lun and Tesside were about to take someone to do it, Tao Qingxian was anxious again: "Wait a minute." It is not impossible for the general to want these four sea ships. But the general had to promise me one condition. Otherwise, we Fuso samurai are not afraid of death. If the general orders a strong attack, we will fight to the death, and then smashing those four ships will be a big deal. ”

Tao Qingxian's words aroused Wu Tianxiao's great curiosity, so he beckoned his subordinates to stop their actions. Because Wu Tianxiao was in his consciousness that the Fusang people would resist to the death, it would not be bad if they could capture one or two sea ships at that time. I don't want this Tao Qingxian to say that it is not impossible to send four sea ships, but this makes Wu Tianxiao feel that there must be some tricks in it.

Before Tao Qingxian came to Daming, he had already heard that the officials of Daming were very **, so he had already made some preparations. And he himself has an ulterior secret. At this time, he saw the terrible artillery equipped on these Daming Sea ships, which could be fired and killed hundreds of steps away. This is a weapon that he needs so much.

The Ming general in front of him wanted to detain the ship, but he only regarded it as the other party's greed and conspiracy. It would also be very beneficial to him if he could buy a temporary ally with his possessions, so take advantage of this incident. It's nothing to give the property to these greedy Ming generals, anyway, these things are all from the person who is becoming more and more incompetent to be the governor of the Ouchi. If you can exchange these things that don't belong to you for something you want.
