Ryuzoji Nobutaka, Tian Xin, and Gu shopkeepers quickly whipped up, and it only took one day to arrive at Nagasaki Port from Saga Castle.

Geng Jingzhong and tens of thousands of soldiers have been staying here for two days, and the news of the defeat of Edo has not reached here, and all the people of the Japanese country are still living their lives as always. It seems that the Tokugawa family should have deliberately concealed the truth of the matter.

As for the destruction of the Satsuma Domain, the Ryuzoji clan also sent troops. However, the notice sent from the Tokugawa shogunate explained to the people that the Shimazu family had invaded the Qing country of Fujian first, so that the Fujian sailors came to retaliate, and the crime was deserved, and the war would not burn to Nagasaki and other places. Therefore, the people of the Japanese kingdom did not pay much attention to these things. What's more, the Shimazu family does not belong to the Yamato nation of the Wa country at all, and in the eyes of most Wa people, it is just a foreign race, so there is no need to bother about it.

Recently, there have been no Shinfu merchant ships stationed in Nagasaki Port, and more than 100 warships of the Mawei fleet have also blocked the entire Nagasaki Port, and there are no more berths here. When Nobutaka Ryuzoji arrived at Nagasaki Port and saw this large and huge group of warships, he was also stunned for a long time. It wasn't that he hadn't seen Western sail warships, but he hadn't seen them so large and so numerous. Fearing together, the attitude of the whole person changed again.

"Lord of Ryuzoji Domain, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time! Come in! At the door of the merchant hall, Yang Jian, the commander of the guards, made an invitation and said to Nobutaka of Longzao Temple.

"Thank you!" Then he walked into the door of the merchant hall.

Geng Jingzhong got up late in the morning, and although the size of the battleship was large enough, it was still a little sluggish when sailing on the sea. I haven't been sleeping well these days. went ashore. I slept very peacefully and sweetly on the soft bed in the mall. I didn't get up until after nine o'clock for two days in a row. At this moment, Geng Jingzhong is already waiting for this future partner in the hall, and after dealing with the matter here, he can return to Fujian!

"Nobutaka of Longzao Temple, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Jingnan!" Entering the hall, when he saw Geng Jingzhong Longzao Temple Xinlong, he bowed deeply one by one to show respect.

"The lord of the feudal domain is more polite, please take a seat!" Geng Jingzhong smiled. Pointing to the chair, he said to Nobutaka of Ryuzoji Temple. He knew that the Japanese people didn't sit on chairs, but Geng Jingzhong was not used to it. After he sat down, Geng Jingzhong said straight to the point: "Since the feudal lord can come, it means that you have agreed to my conditions. You may not know exactly what is going on in Edo, but my Mawei fleet is anchored here intact, so you should guess it. ”

"Yes, His Highness. The powerful contemptible people of your army have already seen it with their own eyes, and the conditions you have given are quite generous, and I have no reason to refuse! Ryuzoji said respectfully.

Geng Jingzhong smiled undeniably, if he really accepted it. Then it should be to listen to the construction of Tian Xin and the two people, and come to Nagasaki Port to wait. If it weren't for the fact that he had just gotten the news from Edo a few days ago. I'm afraid I won't be so honest. But that's okay, as long as he's willing to cooperate.

"There is another one you didn't expect, the territory of the Satsuma Domain is larger than your family's territory, and now it belongs to you." Seeing that the eyes of the Ryuzosi clan lit up and wanted to speak, Geng Jingzhong raised his hand to stop him: "The Satsuma Domain is still relatively chaotic, and there must still be a part of your army there." I'll leave a detachment fleet behind and help you drive out the other daimyos. If you want to get it, the premise is to be able to do it, I don't have a garrison on Kyushu Island, and when my Fujian caravan comes to the Kyushu Island area in the future, I will ask you for a lot of help. Is there a problem? ”

Nobutaka stood up excitedly and bowed deeply again. "Thank you for the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, the Ryuzoji clan is grateful!"

"Hehe, we will be partners in the future. I have always been stingy with my partners, and the future development of your Ryuzoji clan will definitely exceed your expectations. After a few years, it will not be difficult for you to unify the island of Kyushu. But my request must be fulfilled, otherwise, the Ouchi clan will not refuse my cooperation! Geng Jingzhong gave him a big sweet date, and then sounded the alarm bell for him, so that he would not be in the middle of the day.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, the Longzao Temple clan will fully cooperate and not disappoint His Royal Highness!" Nobutaka of Longzao Temple turned pale and said sternly.

"That's good, it's noon, let's go, eat with me!"

The Mawei fleet has set sail and anchored again, and this time it is really going home. It can be said that the expedition was a complete success and fully achieved the expected goals. With less than 2,000 casualties, it can be said that it was a great victory to take the Wa Kingdom and sign a treaty. More than 50 million taels of silver were stolen from the castles of the Shimazu family, and the war reparations of the Tokugawa shogunate were 5 million taels of gold, which together amounted to more than 100 million taels of silver.

The money belonged entirely to him, Geng Jingzhong, not the trading company. With this money, you can do the rest of the things freely, and you don't have to worry about financial problems. Take the simplest one, Fujian has been vigorously building roads in the past two years, but the various road administration companies have only built official roads between various prefectures, cities and counties. However, in many towns and villages in Fujian, roads are still impassable, especially in the mountains, and roads are even more difficult to navigate, and it is only in later generations that the situation has greatly improved in the 21 st century.

After going back, he will spend 20 million taels to build various passages, which will speed up the development of Fujian, allow more people to work, and further win the hearts and minds of the people. Such a project is not a ten-meter avenue built by various road management companies, and there is no need to set up toll stations to collect fees, it is purely a project for the benefit of the people, which Geng Jingzhong has long planned. The 200 miles and 10 meters wide road from the starting point town to the moon port cost a total of 1.2 million taels of silver; According to this calculation, it only takes 480,000 taels to build a 200-mile and 4-meter-wide road. 20 million taels is enough to build a road like 8,000 miles, and if it can be built, it will be much better than that of future generations.

Looking at the fleet that was slowly moving away, Ning Wu and Longzao Temple Shintaka had different faces. Ningwu's first detachment was temporarily left behind to assist Nobutaka of Ryuzoji Temple, and Geng Jingzhong gave him all the ammunition left in the fleet. With the strength of the first squadron, it may be a little insufficient to deal with the two daimyo of Ouchi and Daiyu, but even if you can't beat it, you can run away. Besides, these two daimyo did not dare to go to war with the First Fleet, otherwise the Shimazu family would be a lesson for them.

"Ning Sang, His Royal Highness the Prince has gone back, please leave the matter here!" Ryuzo Temple Shintaka turned around, bowed slightly to Ning Wu and said.

"Yes, of course I will strictly follow the orders of the prince. Without further ado, please go back and prepare as soon as possible, and we can leave for Kagoshima as soon as possible, my warriors have been looking forward to returning home sooner, and now they are even more eager to do so! Ning Wu withdrew his eyes from staring at the sea, and said with a smile to Nobutaka of Ryuzoji Temple.

Ryuzoji Nobutaka was slightly stunned. "Oh! Got it! Actually, I'm in a hurry! ”

Ryuzoji Nobutaka himself knew very well that if he took the territory of the Satsuma Domain, he would inevitably offend other daimyos, and he would have to rely on Geng Jingzhong's help in the future. But it doesn't matter, the other qiē are all fake, and only the benefits in hand are real. There is nothing to prepare on his side, and the army of the Ryuzoji clan has been in a state of assembly these days, and it is only a matter of warrant to mobilize 20,000 samurai to Kagoshima.

Soon, in just three days, 20,000 troops of the Ryuzoji clan landed on the coast of Hioki Castle in the former Satsuma Domain, and then began to take over the various cities of the Satsuma Domain. Twenty warships of the Mawei First Squadron also sailed into Kagoshima Bay again, and a note sent a note to the daimyo who still had some troops remaining in the Satsuma Domain, ordering them to retreat. Ning Wu was also very bold in demonstrating an artillery salvo in front of the two sailors of the Dayou clan and the Ouchi clan. However, Ning Wu's actions were very effective, and the two sailors couldn't help but be horrified when they saw that a detachment of Mawei had such power, and they took the initiative to retreat and return to their lair.

Just kidding, this detachment is almost as good as all of their own sailors, and it is said that the Mawei Navy has seven such detachments, so how dare they provoke such a behemoth, they are much worse than the Shimazu family's sailors! Although there is only this detachment in front of him, he doesn't dare to do it, so he can't help it, so let's retreat honestly. As soon as the two largest daimyo withdrew, the Xiang Liang clan and the Ito clan immediately retreated, and they no longer cared about the land of the Satsuma Domain.

In this way, after staying on the island of Kyushu for an extra week, the first squadron finally completed its mission and was able to return home. In fact, when they returned to Fuzhou, Geng Jingzhong and the others had only arrived for two days. While the First Squadron was busy in Kagoshima Bay, the other squadrons made a trip to the Ryukyus, and had to send back the 4,000 Ryukyu soldiers. In this conquest, Geng Jingzhong promised to return the property stolen by the Shimazu family to King Shangzhi of the Ryukyus, and he had to be honest. What's more, Geng Jingzhong plans to subtly take the Ryukyu Kingdom into his pocket! (To be continued......)
