Chapter 21: An alliance with the pirates and pirates
After making the envoys of the two sides wait for three days, Zhu Sang began to receive the envoys of the two sides together in the humble palace.
Now Xiaoliuqiu has enough manpower and there is no shortage of silver, but Zhu Sang does not plan to build a palace.
Little Ryukyu was always only a temporary base for him, and he would not build a new royal palace in the northern part of Dongfan Island until the initial development of Dongfan Island (Great Ryukyu Island) was completed.
The name of the city is not big, and the pirate envoy of the East Fan is Chen Abian, a relative of Chen Zuyi, and he has also got acquainted with Shimazu Jiro in the past two days, and even reached a preliminary consensus.
The newly rising Zhu Tianwang is not only strong but also belligerent, and is a very big threat to pirates and pirates.
If they can't talk, they will inevitably join forces to balance the small Ryukyu Kingdom.
"Meet Zhu Tiantian." Both of them are very respectful, but Chen Abian is disdainful!
If it weren't for this kid's birth, what would it be! But the sea is not a place for identity.
Let the two messengers sit down, and Zhu Sang laughed. "Although this seat has 40,000 soldiers, there are no more than 10,000 sailors! Gu hoped to form an alliance with Chen Mengzhu to jointly deal with Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming Water Division. ”
"Presumably, Chen Da is also in charge, right?"
Chen Abian, who is in his thirties, is not only a relative of Chen Zuyi, but also has more than 2,000 subordinates on Dongfan Island, and is one of the strongest pirates in the East China Sea.
Chen Abian naturally understood what Zhu Sang meant, and they had already confirmed that Prince Zhu Sang betrayed the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have to worry about coming over alone to negotiate.
"Zhu Tianwang, a certain family knows about it, but the Lord of the Chen Alliance is in charge of the seas, and the distance is too far, so let a certain person come to the Heavenly King to discuss it first."
Although he looked down on this emaciated young king, Chen Abian did not dare to be disrespectful.
Although Chen Zuyi is the nominal leader of the alliance in Zhuhai, there are only more than 10,000 direct subordinates, and the main energy of the leader of the Chen alliance is also in Nanyang.
There are many pirates in the South Seas, and there are many small countries, so naturally it is impossible to come to the East China Sea to fight Zhu Sang easily.
Therefore, Chen Zuyi is also very much in favor of forming an alliance, and even he, Chen Abian, doesn't want to fall out with Zhu Tianwang!
Zhu Tianwang ignored him, and Shimazu Jiro couldn't help but speak.
He clenched his fists first, and then he spoke. "Heavenly King, I, the Shimazu family of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, are also willing to be friends with the Heavenly King."
Knowing that Zhu San was going to form an alliance with pirates, Shimazu Jiro didn't dare to mention the truce again! As for the besieged pirates, it has nothing to do with them.
Zhu Tianwang's department, coupled with the pirates of the East China Sea, was even enough to threaten the entire coastal area of Dongying, at least no daimyo could deal with this force alone.
What Zhu Sang hated most was these strangely dressed pirates, but he still laughed gently. "Good! This seat is also willing to befriend the Shimazu family, so it is better for the Shimazu family to form an alliance together. ”
"This? I wonder how the Heavenly King will form an alliance? Shimazu Jiro asked in shock.
He also knew that Da Ming would send 30,000 sailors to the sea to quell the rebellion, and this alliance was naturally to deal with Da Ming!
Directly provoke the behemoth-like Daming, Shimazu does not have the guts.
Chen Abian was also uneasy! If he wasn't worried that the Ming army would exterminate them by the way, he wouldn't want to form an alliance with Zhu Sang against the Ming army's sailors!
Although they can leave Dongfan and hide first, then the walled city they have worked so hard to build and the fertile land they have opened up will be gone!
Even many belongings and most of the slaves could not be taken away!
With a faint smile, Zhu Sang said confidently. "When the northern pirates are exterminated, there will be 15,000 sailors available under this command, and the combat power is by no means inferior to that of the Daming Naval Division."
"If the leader of the Chen Alliance can send tens of thousands of men to help in the battle, this seat will have the confidence to block the Daming Water Division, so that it can only retreat."
After hearing this, Chen Abian also nodded immediately. "The masters of the East China Sea can gather tens of thousands of good hands at any time, but is Zhu Tianwang really sure?"
Zhu Sang nodded immediately. "This seat can hit Xiaoliuqiu because there are many relationships! If you add the warriors of the Yellow Sea and the North Sea, you can definitely join forces with the outside to completely defeat the Ming Navy. ”
"After that, the richest coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty will be left to me!" After speaking, Zhu Sang laughed a few more times.
Shimazu Jiro was so excited that he almost nodded in agreement, but he endured it anyway.
"Haha good! The King of Heaven is right! As long as we defeat the Eguchi Sailor, we can make a fortune! Chen Abian was really moved, and he also decided to let Chen Mengzhu send more people as much as possible.
After thinking about it, Shimazu Jiro said in embarrassment. "It's inconvenient for the Shimazu family's sailors to dispatch, but the subordinates can help His Royal Highness the Heavenly King contact the samurai of the northern islands."
Zhu Sang nodded and frowned. "It's fine, but if you don't have five thousand samurai, forget it!"
"What the king of heaven says is that if there are not a few thousand men, they are not worthy to go with us and get rich." Chen Abian said disdainfully.
This Japanese is obviously secretly supported by the daimyo of the Japanese kingdom, and I think they are also fools.
Worried that they would not have their share, Shimazu Jiro hurriedly promised. "Please rest assured that the Heavenly King and the Great Master Chen will be able to gather five or six thousand warriors on the islands."
"Haha good! In this case, Minister Shimazu contacted the samurai of the islands, and then assembled in the northern islands of Tohoban, southern of Xiaoliuqiu, as soon as possible. The happy Zhu Sang looked at Shimazu Jiro's eyes with a little more appreciation.
The Japanese also joined, and now Chen Abian has full confidence.
"Rest assured, the leaders of the East China Sea will soon be in place."
Smiling, Zhu Sang said again. "As long as there are more than 30,000 people, this seat is confident that we will defeat the Great Ming Water Master and bring you to make a fortune and rob people, but!"
"But if there aren't enough people! This seat can only lead the fleet to leave Xiaoliuqiu temporarily! It's just that I haven't thought about whether to go north to Dongying or go down to the South China Sea! Zhu Sang thought deeply as he spoke.
Shimazu Jiro said in a panic. "Heavenly King! Dongying's bitter cold is not a good place to go, presumably Chen Mengzhu will inevitably send enough manpower. ”
Glaring at Shimazu Jiro, Chen Abian also immediately assured. "Heavenly King rest assured, although the Lord of the Chen Alliance cannot go north in person, our manpower is definitely not less than fifteen thousand."
"It's just that the samurai from the north won't be able to reach it!"
"Rest assured, the Celestial King swears that the samurai of the islands will definitely arrive on time." Jiro Shimazu hastened to reassure.
Zhu Sang nodded and laughed: "Haha, good! In this way, today's anti-Ming alliance was officially established, of course, it is still led by the leader of the Chen League! ”
"Our alliance will definitely be able to defeat the Daming Naval Division, and then take countless money, food, and people, and the coast will be everywhere in the future."
Chen Abian also laughed excitedly. "Haha! What the King of Heaven said is very true! ”
Shimazu Jiro swallowed his saliva even more excitedly.
"Come on, serve the food!" Zhu Sang shouted heroically!
It was supposed to be a cheerful banquet, but there was no smile on the faces of Zhu Zhiyun, the head of Yang Zheng, and several civil and military people.
They were even secretly annoyed, and at the banquet they worked together to get the two messengers drunk.
When the two envoys were carried away, Yang Zhengshou couldn't help but speak. "The Heavenly King Alliance's pirates are fighting against the Great Ming Sailors, this is for self-preservation! But if you plunder the coastal areas of Daming, Your Highness will not be able to return to Daming to gain a foothold in the future! ”
Although they are still very weak, Yang Zhengshou is still looking forward to it: I hope that one day, the Heavenly King can return to the Ming Dynasty to compete for the supreme position.
Zhu Zhiyun also gritted his teeth and said: "The King of Heaven must not enter the coast!" ”
"It will be difficult to obey the order of the ransom!"
Several civil and military officers also knelt down and begged one after another.
