Chapter 49: Zong Mao's Request to See

The Qing army landed in the Wa Kingdom and was smuggled from Chikugo State. Originally, Abatai wanted to land in Nagasaki, but the Zheng family, who often did business with the Wa Kingdom in Nagasaki, naturally did not allow this, so they could only follow the Zheng family's orders and land in Chikugo Province.

After landing in Chikugo Province, the Qing army suddenly attacked and captured the three cities with the help of small artillery and grenades. This kind of garrison is basically a small city of about 100 people, but it can be conquered in a few minutes. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty ended its attack on Korea, the entire Chikugo Kingdom was also conquered by the Later Jin.

At this moment, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who is the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, has just received the news, and even if he is angry, he can't immediately send troops over. I can only give an order to let the daimyo of Kyushu exterminate this thief.

In these days when they were entrenched in Chikugo, the Manchu soldiers also lived a relatively 'sexually happy' life. The men of the Japanese country are indeed the best laborers, and the women of the Japanese country are indeed docile and well-behaved. What is rare is that after a series of fusions, the Japanese women and the Chinese women look about the same, at least within an acceptable range. The short stature has touched a special hobby, so the Manchu soldiers are really a bit ridiculous these days.

Fortunately, although Abatai has reaped a lot of benefits, at least he has not forgotten Huang Taiji's instructions and the agreement with the Zheng family.

After contacting the Zheng family's fleet, 60% of the capture was handed over to the Zheng family in exchange for the transshipment of the first batch of Wajima native products, as well as the promise of transporting troops over next time. Abatai not only collected a large number of specialties and shipped them back to the mainland, but also brought back the family of Tachibana Soshige, the lord of the domain.

This daimyo who became a Lang man because of the Battle of Sekigahara and was able to become the lord of Chikugo Province by turning Guò Guò to Tokugawa Ieyasu was captured less than two years after his return.

Subsequently, it was transported to Liaodong together with a large number of original Japanese militia and people who were requisitioned. After screening in batches, he and the caravan walked for an unknown distance and arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Chinese People's Republic.

For this big city of the Chinese country, the first time I saw him, like other slaves, they were amazed. It's just that then the surprise faded a lot, because they knew that they were just a slave now.

As for Tachibana Soshige, in the past, he might have tried to be a military general of the Huaxia Kingdom, but now that he has traveled a long way, he has contracted a disease, and at his current age, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not die of illness. So, he didn't have much to say.

The escort's name was Amin, and he was one of the four great Baylors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I finally came to Chang'an, and later with the help of Sony, I would contact the Congress, and then sell this batch of slaves to the Republic that could be used for labor and were promised to those slaves who were in labor. Of course, there are other souvenirs.

"Hello, friends of the Republic, we have brought another batch of specialties." With a friendly smile, Sony said to the negotiators sent by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Although Amin is a righteous envoy, he has brains better than Abatai, and he knows how to leave this kind of grinding and intrigue with others to professional people.

"Friends of the Qing Dynasty, I don't know what you brought this time?" The expert was changed twice, but this expert was the first time last time, so this time he was still the envoy who came to receive the Manchu Qing. The main purpose of the rotation system was to prevent experts from colluding with the Manchus to harm the interests of the Republic for their own personal gain.

When the two sides came to the distribution center of the goods, the expert saw a lot of slaves here, and he looked at the previous transaction account sheet, which clearly stated that the number of slaves in the Houjin trade has been decreasing recently, but now it seems that a large number of slaves have been brought over, and it seems that it has exceeded at least about 5,000. Even if there are men and women, Congress needs slaves, so experts won't say anything.

On the contrary, the number of horses that the Manchus often and even recently increased seems to have decreased...... This is not a normal phenomenon, the decrease in war horses means that there are more war horses that need to be used, and there is only one use for war horses, and that is war!

It soon became clear to the experts that the Manchus were fighting against a certain force, either Korea, Mongolia or the Ming Dynasty.

However, he looked at this group of slaves again, and felt that they were all a group of short people, with an average height of only about 1.4 meters, and such people were like this in his impression of a nation after him. That was the Japanese from the Wa State, and at that moment he understood that the Manchu Qing was actually attacking the Wa State!

"A group of emaciated and powerless widows, such slaves are embarrassed to sell?" The expert raised his eyebrows, this is just a very normal means of lowering prices.

"Friend, don't look at them thin, but they are hard-working. As long as they can eat enough, they can work harder than the people of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it's a construction site or mining ore, they are the best people. "Sony is naturally not going to be fooled.

After some negotiations, it was in the eyes of Tachibana Muneshige, as a qualified feudal lord, he was actually proficient in Chinese, or many Japanese people were actually proficient in Chinese.

Fortunately, I was not bought by a wealthy but vulgar businessman, but by this country called the People's Republic of China. But the frustrating thing is that the country bought them not to make them live a good life, but to let them open mountains for mining, or build bridges and pave roads.

It's heavy, dirty, and tiring work, and the mortality rate is the highest......

Looking at Tachibana Koyuki, Sakura and Koya beside her, her three lovely granddaughters, Somo was worried about whether she could afford such a job.

"Friend, do you see? It's these three little girls, they are the granddaughters of the lord of the Wa Kingdom, they look good, and the most important thing is that the women of the Wa Kingdom are very considerate and docile, presumably His Majesty will like it. These three are not counted as this transaction, but are just a gift from our Great Qing Dynasty to the Republic. Sonny pointed to the three little girls who were shivering, and smiled at the expert.

At that moment, Zong Mao's face changed, because Sonny was pointing at his three granddaughters.

But after thinking about it, I was slightly relieved. It is more comfortable to be a woman to the emperor, even a maid, than to go to the mines to pave the way like them. If you are lucky enough to give birth to a boy and a half girl to the emperor, the Tachibana family will be more comfortable even if it does not rise.

Look at the many former retainers behind him, who are now slaves just like himself. Some of their families had already died in the revolt, and the remaining group of survivors were almost all young women, and all but a few young and beautiful women took turns having sex with the Manchu soldiers. Relationship.

He was once the lord of a country, even if he had just returned to Chikugo Province, but let his retainers suffer such a tribulation, Zong Mao was really ashamed of them.

The price was finally negotiated, and after deducting these slaves, the Manchu Qing also brought back a batch of Japanese swords, Japanese tortoiseshell jewelry, Japanese pearls and two Japanese chefs, who were proficient in Japanese cuisine. At the same time, he also brought a batch of firearms and cannons from the Japanese Kingdom, of course, the power is still much worse than the firearms in various parts of China now, but Huang Taiji knows that Zhang Hongbin will be interested, even if it is for research.

After the transaction was completed, the Manchu mission began to return to Shengjing with the various goods they had bought. Amin temporarily stayed in Chang'an for three days, playing with Sony's cooperation. Of course, he will know to pay attention to his identity, otherwise he will die a miserable death, and the Manchus will not be able to avenge their grievances.

After the expert negotiations were over, it was natural that there would be a special person to escort the slaves. In fact, these slaves are yellow-skinned and thin, and they will need to recuperate for at least a period of time before they can start working. Otherwise, pull it over now, and die in batches, that is the loss of the country.

At this time, Zongmao finally spoke, and said to a soldier who escorted them: "I am Tachibana Zongmao, the lord of the Wa Kingdom of Chikugo, please allow me to meet your majesty, or someone who can speak, I have a deal here, I believe they will be willing to listen." ”

The soldier was not sure of his mind and sued the Shangguan, who naturally reported to his superiors after confirming the matter.

When it came to the Congress, it naturally came into the hands of Zhang Hongbin.

Tachibana Muneshige is no stranger to him, but he doesn't know him, and he really knows him in the "Nobunaga's Ambition" series. I finally know that this is the adopted son of Tachibana Michiyuki, and he is married to Tachibana Michiyuki's daughter Lihua Yan Chiyo, and it seems that he is both civil and military. As for the trajectory of his life after that, it is unknown.

After all, the history of China has not yet been paid attention to, who would pay attention to the history of a Japanese state?

Whether it was out of curiosity or other considerations, Zhang Hongbin still called Tachibana Zongmao.

"You're Tachibana Soshige?" Zhang Hongbin was in the main seat, looking at him half-dead below.

"The lord of the country after the construction of the Wa State, Lihua Zongmao, has seen the emperor of the Chinese People's Republic!" Tachibana Soshige looks like he's going to die, but he abides by the basic etiquette.

"You don't seem to be in good shape? It's not good if I lose my breath while talking, or if I get some kind of disease...... That's good, three days of illness, it's almost better, I'll give you another chance to see me, I hope you can surprise me! Zhang Hongbin had no intention of talking to him.

"This ......" Tachibana Soshige carried a hint of gratitude, but also a hint of hesitation.

"Your compatriots, they are too thin and weak, and they will have to recuperate for at least half a month before they go to work. If you want them to be free, you have to pay a big enough price first. Zhang Hongbin seemed to anticipate what he was thinking.

"Ministers of a small country, I am very grateful!" Tachibana Zongmao excitedly threw himself on the ground and gave Zhang Hongbin a salute.
