"Hehe, old thing, you are the messenger of the Shimazu family? Get here, get down on your knees, and report your name! ”
Sitting on a huge ship with Mao Haifeng, Li Rusong looked coldly at the envoy of the Shimazu family who came not far away.
"In the Shimoshimazu family, I was happy to enter the Jijiu, and I came to explain the misunderstanding between my family and the Wufeng fleet on the order of the head of the family, Shimazu Yoshihiro" Kiririchi Jijiu walked with a steady step, trying his best to protect the face of the Shimazu family, and said coldly.
"Hehe, misunderstanding? Misunderstanding NMB! Someone! Drag this grandson down and cut it down! Give the head to Yoshihiro Shimazu and ask him to send a smart man over! Li Rusong smiled coldly and immediately ordered!
"What are you going to do! The two countries are at war without slashing! Before Ji Jiu could say anything, Monk Lingqin walked over directly and cut off his head with a knife.
"Hehe, does Shimazu Yoshihiro think we're fools? If you want to kill all the old, weak, women and children of my hundreds of Wufeng fleets in Hirado, just a misunderstanding is like a solution? Mao Haifeng also had a frosty face, if they hadn't arrived in time this time, hundreds of people in the Wufeng fleet in Hirado would have died under the butcher's knife of Shimazu Yoshihiro, Mao Haifeng, as the helmsman of the Wufeng fleet, was extremely angry about this.
Not far from the Shimazu family's main camp:
"What! Hi into Ji Jiu was killed! Looking at the head under his feet, Shimazu Yoshihiro suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, with such an aggressive attitude of the Ming people, did he really want to destroy his Shimazu family?
"Report!" At this time, a ninja ran in, knelt down in front of Shimazu Yoshihiro, and reported with a pale face:
"More than 1,000 people slaughtered all the inhabitants of my Shimazu family in the vicinity of Hirado, including the territories of several family elders! So far, nearly 200 civilians have been killed, and all of them have been cut off by their heads! ”
"This! This! How good does this make me! Hearing this report, Shimazu Yoshihiro suddenly fell into an ice cellar, trembling and not knowing what to say, his heart was completely replaced by fear at this time!
Shimazu Yoshihiro knew very well that this war was simply because he coveted the wealth of the Wufeng fleet, and the war provoked by him did not take advantage of it. Moreover, the powerful power displayed by the Wufeng fleet this time will quickly spread throughout the mud.
The mud bombards all respect the strong, and except for a few crazy people, they never pity the weak. Moreover, the Wufeng fleet is not a mud bombardment of the locals, even if they mobilize a large army to fight with them, they will not be able to burn Hirado to the ground and retreat by boat, and some of the daimyo are willing to cut out the land and accept it.
The most terrible thing is that this war was provoked by his own order, and if the people in the most rearly territory were too killed or wounded, and the rearmost did not gain any actual benefits, the old and important ministers in the family were bound to unite together and frantically oppose themselves.
"At that time, I guess there is no other way out except for seppuku or becoming a monk" After thinking about it in his heart, Shimazu Yoshihiro reluctantly decided to go to Jing to take the blame in person to keep his position and power.
arranged a group of henchmen to take charge of military affairs, rectify and collect the remnants of the defeated generals, Shimazu Yoshihiro wore a white kimono, rode a variegated dwarf, and walked towards the giant ship of the Wufeng fleet with a white cloth strip wrapped around his head.
"Brother-in-law, you see, this person is Shimazu Yoshihiro, the contemporary head of the Shimazu family in Kyushu, I really didn't expect him to come to ask for guilt in person! What should we do? Through the binoculars, Mao Haifeng and Li Rusong, who were on top of the giant ship, soon discovered Shimazu Yoshihiro.
"Hehe, this old devil has been driven to a dead end. Uncle, don't worry, this time we will definitely bite off a few pieces of meat from the Shimazu family! Li Rusong smiled slightly, he ordered the slaughter of the nearby mud bombardment people, and sure enough, it had an effect, as long as Shimazu Yoshihiro dared to come, he would not worry about not getting benefits!
"The monk king sent an order to go down and collect all the heads of the Japanese who were killed in Hirado, and pile up the Kyoto Temple in the port!" Saying that, Li Rusong turned his head and said to Monk Greenqin, first scare the old turtle Shimazu Yoshihiro.
With Li Rusong's order, more than 800 heads of Japanese robbers, still dripping with blood, were piled up on the bow of Li Rusong's ship, and the hideous scene was like eighteen layers of hell.
"Are these people from the Ming Kingdom?" Under the leadership of Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Shimazu Yoshihiro, who came to the port, saw this scene, and almost peed his pants in fright, muttering to himself in his heart.
Although he usually does a lot of burning, killing and looting, and he is used to seeing dead people, but such a bloody scene is the first time I've seen it. At this time, most people believed in Buddhism, and even if they killed someone in a war, they would bury the dead, so that the dead could be reincarnated to accumulate public virtues for themselves.
In the belief of the Mud Bombard, if a person dies and has his head cut off, then there is no way to be reincarnated in Hades. Even Nobunaga would not have done such a brutal thing easily. So when Shimazu Yoshihiro saw this kind of scene, he was timid in his heart.
Honestly putting on a posture of pleading, Shimazu Yoshihiro dismounted at the port, respectfully lowered his head and followed the soldiers of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and came to Li Rusong's ship step by step.
"This is a ship? It's still a terrible monster! When he saw such a large and terrifying warship up close, Shimazu Yoshihiro sighed here, and at the same time, the fear of Gomine's fleet deepened greatly.
"No wonder I was able to launch such a powerful artillery bombardment just now, equipped with so many national collapse cylinders, the Wufeng fleet is really hidden!" Looking at the black holes on both sides of the hull, and the dense cannon ports, Shimazu Yoshihiro secretly congratulated himself that he didn't have a single tendon to continue to fight with the Wufeng fleet, otherwise with the terrible financial resources of the Wufeng fleet, it would be enough to let himself die without a place to be buried.
"These warriors are all very strong, and they are all dressed in well-made steel busts, and they are all equipped with terrible iron cannons, how much does it cost? Alas...... Don't be an enemy of the Wufeng fleet in the short term! Along the way, there were a large number of Ming people around him, and the more Shimazu Yoshihiro looked, the more scared he became, and secretly swore in his heart, although he would not believe the oath.
Following the Liaodong Iron Knights who led the way, walking through the sampan, Shimazu Yoshihiro saw the two people sitting in front of him:
On the left is Mao Haifeng, who is sitting with his upper body in front of him, with a big knife flat on his knees, and a fierce face.
On the right, Li Rusong is dressed in armor, wearing a blood-red demon mask, crossing Erlang's legs, staring at Shimazu Yoshihiro, even through the mask Shimazu Yoshihiro can feel the hideous and terrifying killing intent in the other party's eyes.
"The head of the Shimazu family, Yoshihiro Shimazu, meets the owner of the Goho fleet!" Barely holding back the fear in his heart, Shimazu Yoshihiro hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Well, this guy can bear it enough!" Seeing that the other party was so groveling, Li Rusong was a little surprised, you must know that Lu Dao had never seen a muddy prince who knelt and kowtowed to the enemy when he read the history books in his previous life.
I don't know that the mud bombardment people are a group of hypocritical guys, and they try their best to sing praises and praise virtues, and say that their people are as great as saints; They also try their best to distort and tamper with the things that are not good, to beautify the immoral things they have done, or to simply destroy all traces.
"The previous attack on the Hirado station of the Wufeng fleet was really a crazy thing that Ji Jiu and other family elders coerced our family masters and did what they wanted. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the owner of the Wufeng fleet led the army to arrive in time to exterminate the rebels and kill the rebellious elders. I also took the opportunity to ask for the control of the rebellious ministers and thieves, and set things right" Before Li Rusong could sigh that the devil could really bend and stretch, Shimazu Yoshihiro changed his words and immediately picked himself up.
"Hehe, co-authored to tell you to say so, now the remnants of the devils are all innocent? Lao Tzu still has to apologize to you, and give a gift to suppress the shock? Are you taking your master for a fool? Directly interrupting Shimazu Yoshihiro's words, Li Rusong asked with a sneer.
"Although this is the act of a rebellious minister, it has caused huge losses to the Wufeng fleet. The Shimazu family is willing to pay 700 yuan to make up for the loss of the Wufeng fleet" On the way to come, Shimazu Yoshihiro had already thought about it, and this time it was estimated that there would be some blood, otherwise it would be difficult for the other party to give up.
"Sure enough, it's a poor ghost" If it weren't for the fact that he knew a little bit about the history of the mud bombardment, and knew that this country was terribly poor, Li Rusong would have slapped it a long time ago, and the mere seven hundred yuan in the Ming Kingdom would not be enough even if it was to exterminate the White Lotus Sect as a reward.
"Humph! The Shimazu family burned down my Hirado port almost to the ground this time, and it was just 700 yuan to think about it? Li Rusong suddenly changed his words and said in a businessman's oily tone.
"Ahem, in order to make up for the huge losses caused by your Shimazu family to my Wufeng fleet, as well as the irreparable trauma to the hearts of the people of my Wufeng fleet! From now on, the merchants and crew of my Wufeng fleet must enjoy all the privileges of the nobility except for the back cover in the territory of the Shimazu family," he cleared his throat, and Li Rusong said with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
"At the same time, all the buying and selling of my Goho fleet are not allowed to collect any taxes, and at the same time send troops to protect them. Every year, the Shimazu family needs to buy 150 iron cannons and 30,000 catties of grain from the Wufeng fleet, and the price is according to the average price of mud bombing, and we will also give priority to purchasing various local products in the territory of the Shimazu family, and you must obey these conditions unconditionally! Otherwise? Hehe, I still don't believe that if my Wufeng fleet pays money, food, and weapons, I can't hire a few daimyo to destroy you! Li Rusong's last sentence scared Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was lying on the ground, into a cold sweat.
In this way, although on the surface, the Shimazu family took a big advantage, and the Wufeng fleet just made a big deal. But in fact, the influx of a large number of merchants from the Wufeng fleet will completely destroy the local economic system in the territory of the Shimazu family, making it a colony of Li Rusong:
With the influx of cheap food, the Shimazu family will be more well supplied and ready to start a war at any time. However, this will inevitably reduce the number of farmers farming in the Shimazu family, and if one day the Gomine fleet stops supplying food, the people of the Shimazu family will starve to death due to a widespread famine, and the number of people will drop sharply.
A large number of merchants of the Wufeng fleet, who did not need to pay taxes, would dump large quantities of high-quality and cheap Ming goods, so that the local merchants of the Shimazu family quickly went bankrupt or were swallowed up.
At the same time, the merchants of the Wufeng fleet will also buy a large number of various souvenirs of the farmers in the territory of the Shimazu family, and these things will be processed and resold to the Shimazu family, which is a transaction that does not cost any money at all.
In short, on the surface, the Shimazu family is still extremely powerful, but in fact it is just a puppet of the Wufeng fleet, this is Li Rusong's colonial plan for the Shimazu family's territory, and even gradually radiating to the entire mud bombardment!
"Is this guy from the Ming Kingdom?" Yoshihiro Shimazu didn't understand the twists and turns, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of the huge cost of purchasing these supplies.
In Shimazu Yoshihiro's cognition, even the previous Wufeng ship owner Wang Zhi is polite, amiable, and tolerant everywhere - Wang Zhi is a cheater behind his back, unlike Li Rusong, who directly robs openly.
In any case, in order for himself to continue to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family, and at the same time feel that being able to buy military supplies such as food from the people of the Ming Kingdom is also beneficial to his domination of the world, Shimazu Yoshihiro agreed without any hesitation.
And Li Rusong, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered the scholars of the Wufeng fleet on the spot, and drafted a document on the spot for Shimazu Yoshihiro to sign and draw on it
Poor Shimazu Yoshihiro, as an excellent military general who is good at scheming, is too much worse than a 10,000-year-old goblin like Li Rusong, and he doesn't know that he has been sold, and he has to help others count the money!
