Time is very fast, and in a blink of an eye it is already a new year, that is, the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu (spring 1393)

Half of the Japanese samurai who were wiped out in the First Battle of Nago Bay were samurai of the Shimazu family, so Shimazu also suffered a lot of losses in that battle.

But the island country cannot be inferred with common sense, although the Shimazu family was deceived by Zhu Sang, the Shimazu family not only hated and feared Zhu Sang, but even gave birth to reverence.

Worried about being killed by Zhu San, the messenger Shimazu Ishigabe this time is just a small samurai leader of the Shimazu family.

Knowing that the Shimazu envoy is here again, Cheng Mingdong is also very welcome.

The grain that came by sea was not cheap, and he could not use all the money he had left, and if there was no new way of making money, there would be a famine in his Ryukyu Heavenly Kingdom in two or three months.

When the time comes, more than 100,000 people will have nothing to eat, and even the most loyal soldiers will collapse and kill each other.

As soon as Shimazu Ishibe came, Zhu San immediately met him in the palace, and the idle civil and military also came over.

With mixed feelings, the stout Shimazu first bowed respectfully. "Shimazu Stone Side to meet His Royal Highness the Heavenly King."

"Stoneside! Get up! The envoy's attitude made Zhu Sang a little disappointed!

He also thought that the Shimazu family was here to ask for the guilt, so he would have an excuse to do it.

"Thank you!" The nervous stone side breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and although the Japanese dare to secretly offend, they are also extremely frightened.

"This king betrays the alliance, does the Shimazu family want to ask for guilt?" Zhu Sang asked expectantly.

But Shi Bian quickly shook his head. "Heavenly King, the Shimazu family is only a lord of the Japanese Kingdom, and he doesn't dare to offend the authority of His Highness."

"The Daimyo of Ankang ordered the young general to meet the Heavenly King, just to explain the previous misunderstanding, those Japanese pirates are all Shimazu Jiro secretly colluded, and they have nothing to do with the Shimazu family."

Hearing the shameless words of the Japanese people, Zhou Hai couldn't help but sneer.

Zhu Sang was not surprised, after all, the character of the Japanese Kou was like this, no matter how shameless and vicious they were, they could do it.

"Since it's not the king of guilt! So what does the Shimazu family mean? Zhu Sang sighed! It seems that the Shimazu family has confessed!

For example, today the royal army has 40,000 sailors, leaving 10,000 to defend against pirates in the South China Sea, and the other 30,000 sailors plus 10,000 soldiers can go out to fight, and these 50,000 people are enough to sweep the entire Kyushu Island.

However, the strength of the island country is not weak, and Zhu Sang is not good to send troops for no reason, otherwise he will definitely unite the Japanese daimyo.

The united Wa Kingdom, even the Ming Dynasty has to be cautious, not to mention his current small Ryukyu Kingdom.

Stoneside hurriedly explained. "This! His Royal Highness the Heavenly King, the young general is just to clear up the misunderstanding, and the Shimazu family has absolutely no disrespect! ”

Seeing his nervous appearance, Zhu Sang also estimated that this was just a small person, so he said casually. "This king plans to go south to exterminate the pirates, but he is worried that the Shimazu family will join forces with the Japanese to attack!"

"The situation of the Shimazu family is also a headache for this king!"

Hearing the Heavenly King say this, Zhou Hai immediately said. "The little Shimazu family of the Heavenly King is destroyed."

"Yes, we should go north to clean up the pirates first."

"The last general will fight."

After the generals finished speaking, Shibian knelt down in fright to explain. "Heavenly King, the Shimazu family will never dare to offend the authority of His Royal Highness, and the Shimazu family has nothing to do with the Japanese pirates."

All the relationships have been eliminated, and Shimazu Ishigabe is telling the truth.

"The Heavenly King is cunning and unbelievable!" Gong Shouren persuaded.

Yang Zhengshou and other civil and military officials also nodded, none of them would believe in the Wa Kingdom.

The pirates are also very strong in the South Seas, and the Shimazu family, which is closer, is the best target.

"His Royal Highness the Heavenly King, the young general is willing to swear by seppuku, and the Shimazu family will never offend His Highness." There is no way to do it, and the stone edge can only be determined by death.

If he doesn't talk about it this time, he will die when he goes back, and he will even implicate his family, so it is better to die here.

Fortunately, the sword-by-stone could not be brought in, otherwise he would have cut it himself.

The Japanese warriors said that they would die, but they were all serious, but Zhu Sang was not in the mood to see it.

After thinking for a while, he frowned and said. "There is no evidence, the Shimazu family must first mortgage two million taels of silver or two hundred thousand people's rations for half a year, so that this king can believe in the will of the Shimazu family."

Two million taels of silver, I don't know if there is one in Kagoshima! Not to mention the horrible rations.

Shibian was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer like that!

Seeing that the envoy was frightened, Yang Zhengshou laughed. "I'm afraid that the Shibian Envoy will not be able to call the shots for such a major matter as the King of Heaven."

"That's right! The matter of the Heavenly King is too important, not to mention that the territory of the Shimazu Daimyo can't come up with so much silver taels and grain! Only then did the stone side speak.

Of course, Zhu San knew that the Shimazu family would not be able to take it out, unless the Shimazu family was looted.

Seeing the hint of the Heavenly King, Gong Shouren said. "The minister is willing to send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom and negotiate with the Shimazu daimyo."

Zhu Sang nodded. "Good! It's hard to work for the palace! ”

Faced with this result, Shibian didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he could only watch it first! He knew that Shimazu Daimyo would never agree! Not even a hundred thousand taels of silver will be taken out.

After the stoneside envoy left, Zhou Hai couldn't help but ask. "Although the people under the rule of Tenwang Shimazu Daimyo are only a dozen or two hundred thousand, they will definitely not give in."

Commander Sun Dai, who reorganized the Ryukyu Brocade Guard, also said. "Heavenly King, although the great names of the Wa Kingdom are fighting each other, if foreign enemies enter the country, they will definitely join forces."

Gong Shouren didn't speak, but he also nodded and looked at His Royal Highness the Heavenly King, and he didn't know why His Highness wanted to signal him to send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom.

In his opinion, the Japanese are a group of beasts, there is no reason at all, and this may be a dead end!

Of course, Zhu Sang knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to deal with the Japanese daimyo at all, at least until the Dongfan immigrants were stable, and he would not be able to send troops to occupy the new territory.

Smiling, Zhu Sang said. "It's not easy for the Wa Kingdom to send troops for the time being, but there is still a Goryeo Kingdom nearby."

Shocked, Gong Shouren said. "Although the Kingdom of Goryeo has just experienced civil strife, there are at least three million people in its country! There are more than 100,000 soldiers! Because of the frequent defense of the Japanese invaders, Goryeo was able to quickly assemble 20,000 or 30,000 sailors. ”

"Goryeo is not easy to deal with! There are at least forty or fifty thousand sailors in his country! Zhou Hai frowned!

It is of course difficult to deal with Goryeo's ability to survive between the Central Plains and the Wa Kingdom, especially the terrain of most of the hilly and mountainous areas in Goryeo is not easy to manage.

Seeing Zhu Sang thinking, Yang Zhengshou also said lightly. "The Goryeo people have been baptized by the Han style, and their inheritance has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not easy to defeat their army, and it is even more difficult to defeat their people."

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhu Sang said. "This king will not think about conquering new territories for the time being, but since the Japanese can loot the coast, our troops can also loot the Goryeo cities and wealthy households."

Miyashou Ren immediately realized. "Is the Heavenly King planning to unite with the Japanese to defeat the main force of the Goryeo Naval Division?"

Everyone immediately understood, but they didn't have the slightest faith.

"I'm afraid the Shimazu family won't dare to form an alliance anymore!" Yang Haishan smiled bitterly!

The alliance was already formed last time, and then thousands of people died in the Japanese Kou, and it is estimated that normal people will not come a second time.
