Chapter 157: Reason with Them
The person who went to the army of the Wa Kingdom was Chen Qiyu, who was exiled in the eighth year of Chongzhen.
Chen Qiyu is very capable of commanding the army to suppress bandits, when Chongzhen asked him to suppress bandits, he almost met one by one, and even Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were blocked by him in the carriage gorge and almost gave a pot.
However, although he is very capable, Chongzhen exiled him, and he really didn't lose at all.
Chen Qiyu blocked Li Zicheng and them in the carriage gorge, and saw that they could catch Li Zicheng and them, but Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong bribed Chen Qiyu with the gold and silver treasures they collected.
As a result, Li Zicheng and they surrendered by fraud, and not long after they came out, they killed the officials who were guarding them, and then rebelled again.
After getting out of trouble, Li Zicheng and them broke several cities in a row, and the number of people grew rapidly, and soon reached 200,000.
Seeing that Chen Qiyu had made a big mistake, his first decision was to dump the blame and directly put the blame on others, wanting to reduce his punishment.
It's just a pity that this pot couldn't be thrown out in the end, and was directly exiled by Chongzhen.
And the reason why Lao Zhu remembered this person this time was entirely because Chen Qiyu was greedy for too much money and land, and although Chen Qiyu lost power, he still had so many connections in the DPRK and China.
Therefore, Chen Qiyu's family is quite domineering, and when the land was inspected, he even dared to violently resist the law.
After the local officials arrested the person, they played the matter directly to Lao Zhu, which reminded Lao Zhu of this person.
This person has excellent ability, but his conduct is average, and it stands to reason that Lao Zhu, who is not short of people, is too lazy to use him.
However, Chen Qiyu was lucky, just in time for the good time, when his file was handed over, it happened to be when Lao Zhu was having a headache about who to send to the Wa Kingdom.
After all, if you want to kill those would-be robbers, no matter how powerful Daming's musket is, this is not very realistic.
Therefore, in addition to killing, there must also be education and taming of those Japanese robbers, and domestication of this kind of thing, the military general is obviously a little unable to do, and must send a civil servant, and in order not to hinder the army, it is best to be a person who is both civil and military.
After all, Wenchen is generally dirty-hearted, and they have too many ways to open up the situation in the Wa Kingdom.
Originally, Sun Chuanting was the most suitable candidate, but Sun Chuanting was still educating Jiannu, and some clones lacked skills.
And even if Sun Chuanting had time, he would basically not be needed for such a trivial matter as going to the Wa Kingdom.
Therefore, in addition to Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu is obviously a very suitable candidate.
As for Chen Qiyu's bad conduct, what does it matter, anyway, it is not the people of the Ming Dynasty who are harmed, if you want to do the evil, you will be harmed, and there are Jinyi guards staring at him, and he is not afraid that he will behave out of line.
Of course, although he wanted to be used, Lao Zhu did not mean to show favoritism to his family.
All those who violently resisted the law were killed, and Chen Qiyu's family wealth that he had saved all his life was also confiscated, but for Chen Qiyu's sake, apart from these, there was no more connection.
If he opens up the situation, then the credit will be offset first, and then his credit will be counted, if he loses, he will wait for the whole door to be beheaded.
With him, there were also Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong, with a total of 50,000 horses, and most of them were equipped with Xia Saibo rifles, such a luxurious lineup is enough to prove how determined Lao Zhu is to "educate" the Japanese invaders.
And in order to allow him to have a relatively high status to negotiate with the Wa State, Lao Zhu directly gave him a fictitious title of Governor of the Later Military Governor's Mansion and Zuo Dudu.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Since the change of Tumubao, the authority of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has become smaller and smaller, and now it has been completely reduced to a vacant position, but its rank is still a good grade, and it is just the most suitable to give Chen Qiyu'an this official position.
"Governor, the Japanese state has opened a sea ban and forbade our army to dock."
The Wakoku is now ruled by the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, because the Catholicism brought by the Portuguese has caused them too bad, so Tokugawa Iemitsu directly implemented the policy of closing the country to the outside world, and all Wakoku ships are not allowed to go to sea, and the Wakoku who have stayed abroad for more than five years are not allowed to go back.
Although they still do business with foreign countries, they only trade with certain people, such as Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch.
Therefore, after seeing the warships of the Ming army, the defenders of Nagasaki did not hesitate at all and refused the approach of the Ming army.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Ming fleet was too huge and some of it was not easy to provoke, I am afraid that those Japanese slaves would not refuse, but directly opened fire to drive them away.
"Don't you have a brain? He forbids docking, won't you reason with him? ”
Originally, it was a good thing to be pardoned in exile, but after the pardon, he found that his home was gone and his money was gone, which made Chen Qiyu not very happy along the way.
Chen Qiyu scolded his subordinates with a slap on his face, and then said to Zuo Liangyu: "Kunshan (Zuo Liangyu's words), how about you go and reason with them?" ”
Along the way, Zuo Liangyu and Chen Qiyu had a good chat, so for Chen Qiyu, Zuo Liangyu already knew better, after hearing Chen Qiyu say this, he directly understood what Chen Qiyu meant, and then nodded and said: "Don't worry, the governor will leave this matter to the lower officials." ”
Seeing that Zuo Liangyu was about to give orders to the warships under his command, Chen Qiyu suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Remember, I am a country of etiquette, and I must abide by etiquette." ”
Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, originally according to his intentions, he directly bombarded his mother with a cannon, and taught these Japanese slaves to be human beings, so that they could feel the care from the heavens.
But now that I hear what Chen Qiyu means, do you want those Japanese slaves to do it first?
Zuo Liangyu pondered in his heart for a moment, and then said: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will send someone to try it first." ”
"Then it's hard Kunshan."
Chen Qiyu bowed slightly, to be honest, he made this request, not to embarrass Zuo Liangyu, but what Lao Zhu meant by letting him come, so that he could take the Wa Kingdom at the lowest cost.
And if it directly provokes a war, the losses will be too great, and the most important thing is that it will arouse the hostility of the Japanese slaves, which will not be conducive to the rule in the future.
After all, Lao Zhu meant to completely merge the Japanese State into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, rather than just slaughtering it once, so Chen Qiyu still had to take care of the emotions of the Japanese slaves more or less, otherwise the resistance would be too fierce, even if the guns were good.
Therefore, Chen Qiyu's plan is to see if there are any contradictions in the country first, if there is, he will fan the wind and take the opportunity to join in, if there is no contradiction, then find a way to create some contradictions.
Although it is very unkind to do this, who will be kind to you between countries.
The reason why I didn't beat you before was because you didn't have anything to worry about, and you were far away from Daming, and you couldn't reach it.
And now, since there is a reason to beat you, and the previous Japanese have harassed the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, who still tells you anything kind, and the general account is almost the same.
After understanding what Chen Qiyu meant, Zuo Liangyu quickly asked the herald to pass the flag to his warships, and asked them to talk to the Japanese slaves about the "reason".
