When Yang Chengying came back from the palace for the banquet, he had just taken a breath, and Huang Zongxi came out of breath.

"I won't go with you to the Japanese kingdom, and I don't want to be an enlightenment teacher for your family."

"And bullshit Liaodong, I'll never go again."

As soon as he entered the door, Huang Zongxi crackled as if he had eaten explosives.

didn't give Yang Chengying a chance to speak at all.

After he finished speaking, Yang Chengying asked, "What's wrong with you?" Who you off? ”

"No one!"

Huang Zongxi twisted his head to the side.

Yang Chengying smiled: "You shouldn't be angry when you heard that I cooperated with pirates and leased the port of the Ryukyu Kingdom." ”

"Yes and no." Huang Zongxi said angrily, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, after the State of Chu captured the State of Chen, someone sent a cow to the King of Chu.

The king of Chu was curious and asked him why he gave him a cow. The man said, "You were just helping your neighbor fight for grievances, but now you have taken his land, so you give a cow."

The king of Chu listened, so he withdrew his troops and restored the state of Chen. ”

There are many versions of this story, and Yang Chengying used to listen to another version.

This version derives an idiom, "Grab the cow from the field".

"You say that I have already done a great job in helping the Ryukyu Kingdom expel the Japanese people, and I shouldn't talk to them about port leasing?"

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"Originally, it's too ungentlemanly for you to do this."

Huang Zongxi said irritably.

Yang Chengying laughed: "Since ancient times, righteous action has been called chivalry. But what about after the shot? How to deal with the aftermath is the key. ”

"What do you mean?" Huang Zongxi asked suspiciously.

"The Ryukyus are far away from us, close to the Satsuma Domain. Once we leave, it is very likely that the wrath of the Satsuma clan will be poured out on the Ryukyus. ”

Yang Chengying said: "A gentleman cannot be a false name and cause others to cause great trouble. As the saying goes, I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. ”

Huang Zongxi thought about it for a while, this is the truth.

"Even then, it shouldn't be charged." Huang Zongxi frowned.

"What is business, the word 'profit'. Do you think the money I collect can fit into my pocket? ”

Yang Chengying shook his head and said: "Part of this money is for soldiers, without money, how can they feed their families." ”

"Besides, I have other purposes."

Yang Chengying whispered.

When Huang Zongxi heard this, he became interested: "What purpose?" ”

"What is there beyond the sea? There are chicken coops, Luzon and other places, on which are waiting for villains from the West. ”

Yang Chengying whispered: "I want to use Naha Port as a supply base and drive those robbers out of the sea in the future." ”

"Then you shouldn't cooperate with Liu Xiang, he's a big pirate."

Huang Zongxi's attitude has softened.

"At the moment, my strength is not enough to cover the southeast, so I can only give the profits to these pirates. I'll clean them up when I've got my hands free and I've sorted out some of the aftermath. ”

Yang Chengying advised: "You can't let Liu Xiang know about this." ”

Huang Zongxi nodded.

"You're still too young, just wait."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "When the envoy of the Satsuma Domain arrives in a few days, we will have a good show to watch." ”

"Then I'll wait to see the show." Huang Zongxi got up with his fists clenched, raised his legs and left.

Zu Zehong brought tea and passed by Huang Zongxi.

He smiled: "Huang Gongzi is really hot, he was so angry just now, and now it's like nothing happened." ”

"It's called 'getting angry,' and young people should be vibrant." Yang Chengying said.

"That is, General Cao is also a vigorous person. In the past few days, pestering sailors to teach him how to fire cannons, he also wants to be a captain. ”

Zu Zehong remembered Cao Bianjiao's embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing.

Yang Chengying laughed.

I was about to taste tea, but I saw Ning Wan come in.

"After a while, the Satsuma clan really couldn't help it and sent an envoy here."

After Ning Wan, I put the letter handed by the messenger and put it in front of Yang Chengying's desk.

"Sit." Yang Chengying poured him tea and said, "Take a sip of tea, let's talk slowly." ”

"What are you talking about?" I'm not polite after I'm finished, I picked up the teacup and tasted the tea.

"Wait a minute, you go to the messenger."

Yang Chengying said: "There is only one principle, not to reach any agreement with the Satsuma Domain. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ning finished me asked.

"Do you know why the Ryukyu Kingdom was invaded by the Satsuma Domain?"

"There is no reward."

"That's just one of the reasons."

Yang Chengying gave Ning Wan a science about the financial situation of the Satsuma Domain before and after the invasion of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In terms of affluence, Kyushu is far inferior to the Gyeonggi area.

The Shimazu family has been fighting for years, and there are already big financial problems.

Trade has become the focus of "blood replenishment".

That's where the looting comes in.

However, both the Shimazu family and the Matsuura family have a common problem, they are only good at destruction, but not good at building.

There was Takanbu Matsuura, who forced England away; Later, Shimazu Yoshihisa sacked the Ryukyus, resulting in damage to maritime trade.

"I know what you mean, you're putting pressure on you."

Ning Wan smiled and said, "Let the Satsuma clan not dare to alarm the shogunate, so as not to completely cut off the sea trade routes." ”

"That's exactly what makes you feel dominant."

"No problem."

The first head-to-head negotiations between the Liaodong Army and the Satsuma Domain were held on the morning of the next day.

The location is the southeast corner of Naha Port, the camp of the Liaodong Army.

The representative of the Liaodong Army is Ning Wanme, who is in charge of foreign affairs.

Geng Zhongming was on the sidelines.

The representative of the Satsuma clan is an important minister of the Shimazu family who was born in the Taira clan, and Yamada Yuei.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yamada Youei counted the "crimes" of the Liaodong Army and strongly demanded that the Liaodong Army leave, otherwise the Satsuma Domain would attack with all its might.

After listening to me, I asked calmly, "Do you know the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom?" Do you know who gave the name Ryukyus? ”

"That's all history, and shouldn't be used as evidence of the present."

Yamada Yuei quibbled, "Now, the Ryukyus have signed a fifteen articles with our Satsuma Domain, which belongs to the protectorate of our Satsuma Domain. ”

"According to what you mean, who has heard of the fist."

I asked rhetorically, "Moreover, the fifteen articles were signed between you and the Ryukyu Kingdom, bypassing the shogunate, are you the country?" ”

"This is wrong, we didn't go around the Shogunate, we got the favor of the Shogunate, and our army sent out to fight."

Yamada Yuei swore solemnly.

"In that case, we don't need to talk about it anymore. You can't represent the shogunate, and we're going to discuss this with the shogunate. ”

Ning Wan sneered and said, "Moreover, according to your logic, if our army bombards all parts of the Satsuma Domain, it will be okay. ”

"You're a threat."

"It's more appropriate to use this kind of language when dealing with robbers who use strong words."

Ning Wan said: "And you have to figure out one thing, your sailor is gone." If maritime trade is completely cut off, how long will the Satsuma Domain's finances last? ”

Yamada Yuei's face turned red when he heard the interpreter say this.
