Chapter 326: We Really Can't Afford to Mess With Daqian (Second Update)
Chunni stepped forward: "Your anger is a little heavy, and you seem to be very hostile to the Japanese Kou. ”
Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right, I want to kill when I see a wolf." ”
Chunni frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
Along the way, she heard Zhou Jianbo and others talk about the behavior of the Japanese Kou over the years, and she also felt damned.
But she always felt that Li Changfeng didn't seem to be just because of this.
After arranging this matter, Li Changfeng ordered to rest on the shore.
The only thing that needs to be done now is to wait.
He was confident that the emperor would make the right choice.
Soon, the news reached the Emperor's Palace.
The Emperor was furious and roared wildly in the main hall.
"Yaga! Li Changfeng is too arrogant! I didn't even take my Great Wako Empire into account! ”
"My Great Wako Empire must not endure such humiliation, and must be beaten back!"
"Didn't they rest on the shore? Smash it at me with a catapult, I don't believe it won't be smashed! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall panicked and persuaded them one after another.
"Your Majesty, by all means! This will provoke an all-out war with the big cadres! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, today's cadres are not what they used to be, and they can't act recklessly!"
"If we annoy Li Changfeng, if we don't do it, we will bring a large army to kill, and then we will destroy the country!"
"Nanban and Beihu are both lessons from the past, we really can't afford to provoke them!"
"Yes, with only five ironclad warships, our navy has lost half of it, what can we do to fight them?"
"There is an old saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, swallow this breath first, and then it will not be too late to take revenge when our Wakou country also has these things!"
“……”
What the ministers said was like a basin of cold water poured on the emperor's head.
He sat weakly on the ground, looking unwilling, and muttered to himself: "Why does Daqian have a genius like Li Changfeng, but my Da Wa Empire does not?" How unjust God is! ”
No matter how unwilling the emperor is, he has to accept the reality.
Li Changfeng, he can't afford to provoke.
In desperation, he could only start raising silver taels.
……
Half a month later.
A convoy pulled heavy wooden boxes and came to the coast.
The leader was a prince, who was very respectful when he saw Li Changfeng, and obediently knelt on the ground to pay homage according to the etiquette of the great cadres.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes!"
Li Changfeng didn't let him get up, and said calmly: "Brought the silver?" ”
The prince was a little annoyed in his heart, but because the last envoy was thrown into the sea with his legs cut off, he didn't dare to say anything, and said with a far-fetched smile on his face: "I brought Your Highness, I was a little nervous about the war against the Goryeo Kingdom before, but now I have finally raised all the funds, and I am really a little uneasy that His Highness will come to take care of my heart in person!" ”
Li Changfeng smiled coldly: "Really? ”
Cold sweat broke out on the prince's forehead instantly, and he only felt that his throat was dry, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Of course it's true, a small country with a small amount of Japanese bullets, where can it be compared with Daqian." ”
"Humph!" Li Changfeng snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the late fee of 200,000 taels is ready?" ”
"Ready, it's in the carriage, this matter is indeed the fault of my Wakou country, and it should be compensated!"
"The cost of one million taels of silver for this expedition, can you prepare?"
"Ready, of course!"
Hearing this, Li Changfeng was slightly surprised.
He thought that the would-be able to negotiate terms on this matter, and he might have to scrap some means to get it, but he didn't expect them to be so happy.
Sure enough, it is a soft bone that bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard.
Li Changfeng nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." ”
The prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again, and said cautiously: "However, we have a small condition that is insignificant to your big cadres. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Changfeng's face sank.
"Who gave you the courage to make conditions to this prince?"
The prince hurriedly said: "It's just a small condition, we only hope that Daqian will not sell gunpowder and artillery weapons to Goryeo!" ”
This was a condition that the emperor had given him before he came.
500,000 taels for goods, 200,000 taels for late fees, plus 1,000,000 taels for military expenses, that's 1,700,000 taels of silver.
Even if it was a Japanese country, it was a bit nerve-wracking to take out so much silver at once, and it was necessary to snatch more silver from the Goryeo kingdom.
Their strength is slightly stronger than that of Goryeo, and they have been almost pressing Goryeo all the time, and the only thing that can change this situation is Daqian's artillery grenades.
The emperor didn't want Goryeo to have these things as well.
Regarding the attitude of the war between the two countries, Li Changfeng has always had the attitude of sitting and watching the dog eat the dog, so he nodded and said: "It is a war between the two countries, and this prince has no intention of interfering, you can rest assured." ”
The prince breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, thank you, Your Highness!"
After speaking, he turned around and shouted to the back: "What are you doing in a daze?" Bring all the money! ”
Soon, boxes of silver were moved up, and Li Changfeng sent someone to count them, and there were no less than one or two.
"If you knew today, why bother?" Li Changfeng looked at the white silver and sneered.
1,700,000 taels, plus 300,000 taels scavenged from Ito Chitang's ship, the harvest of this trip reached 2 million taels.
The value of this trip!
The main thing is a bad breath.
The prince laughed dryly, looked at Ito Chitang, who was hanging up with his mouth covered on the bow of the ship, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, that's the admiral of our Japanese navy, can you let him go?" ”
Li Changfeng smiled coldly: "Let him go, will you come out with 300,000 taels of silver?" ”
"This ...... Forget it! ”
Ito Chitang is the strongest admiral of the Wako country, and it is very important to the Wako, and when he came, the emperor had an explanation that Ito Chitang must be rescued.
But looking at the situation now, he didn't dare to say a word.
If you annoy Li Changfeng, what if you detain him too?
Although the emperor and he were brothers, according to his understanding, he would not give him money to ransom him at all, so he could only pay out of his own pocket, and then he would be poor and empty.
In fact, Li Changfeng really has such thoughts.
It was only because he thought that this might make the Japanese desperate to fight with him, so he dispelled such an idea, after all, the impact of detaining the royal family was too great.
When he is almost consumed by the Japanese and Goryeo, it is not too late to sweep them away.
Three days after the prince left, the people of the Ito Chitang family came to ransom him with 300,000 taels of silver.
After counting the quantities and confirming that they were correct, Li Changfeng kept his promise and released Ito Qiantang, and then did not stay for a moment and ordered to return to Daqian.
When they came, there was almost no silver on board, but when they left, there were two and three hundred thousand taels of silver, and everyone was excited.
This is the benefit of a strong country, as long as the ironclad warship is driven over to deter, the enemy will obediently pay for the silver, and the air force will not even have a chance to take off to deter.
