Chapter 472    Trade(1)

Soon the soldiers presented Song Qing's population.

Dai Zong glanced at it and said, "Buried Song Qing well and send a letter to His Majesty at the same time."

"yes!"

The soldier retreated.

Li Jun, Zhang Shun and the three Ruan Heroes came over and bowed to Dai Zong; "Brother Dai Zong, although Song Qing was killed, Tang Long's brothers are still in Japan. What do you think we should do?"

Dai Zong pondered for a moment and said, "Our current military strength is not enough to force it, so my idea is to exchange the Japanese mission we captured for the Tanglong brothers."

Li Jun bowed and answered: "Brother Dai Zong, your suggestion is very good, but I am afraid that Emperor Yunze will not call out Brother Tang Long so easily. Should we still have a second-hand preparation?"

"Yes, Emperor Yunze spent so much effort to arrest Tang Long's brothers and kept persuading Tang Long's brothers to surrender. I'm afraid he wouldn't hand over the person so easily."

"However, we will attract the attention of Emperor Yunze and others in the name of replacing the mission with the Tanglong brothers, and then send a team of troops to sneak into the Kyushu Island and rescue the Tanglong brothers?"

Dai Zong shook his head repeatedly and said with a serious expression: "The strategy of "striking east and attacking the west cannot be used anymore. The last time we used this strategy to seize the four northern islands. This time, Japan would be prepared for anything. If they see through our plan, we will not only fail to rescue the brothers Tang Long, but also have to deal with our own brothers, that would be very worthless."

Li Jun and the others also thought it was like this after hearing this.

"Okay, let's face the deal with Emperor Yunze."

Dai Zong nodded.

...

Emperor Yunze was in the palace and discussed major events with Miyamoto Masayoshi and Matsumoto Ichiro.

"Now I have sent Song Qing to the English country to buy iron ore. Once the iron ore is obtained, we can supervise and build various new warships in large quantities. With new warships, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. It will no longer be difficult to recapture the four northern islands. In addition to this, the Minister of Defense, I ask you, where do you have many naval troops to mobilize?"

Matsumoto Ironiang stood up and bowed to Emperor Yunze, saying, "Your Majesty, in addition to the injuries, there are more than 100,000 naval troops who can immediately be invested in the battle. As long as the new warship is completed and the training is coordinated, you will be able to proficient in about half a year."

Emperor Yunze frowned and said, "It will take so long. If Liang suddenly attacks our Japan during this period, then wouldn't our Japan be very passive? Defense Minister, do you think there are other ways?"

Matsumoto was bitter, and half a year of training was the fastest time he could make. According to his budget, if the new Japanese navy really wanted to establish combat effectiveness, it would take at least two years to completely become a modern navy.

But if you have to tell Emperor Yunze the truth, I am afraid that his position as the Minister of Defense should be replaced.

When Emperor Yunze saw that Matsumoto was silent, he became even more angry and pointed at him and scolded: "You can say whatever you know, why bother tranny? I don't have so much time to spend with you here!"

Seeing that Emperor Yunze was angry, Matsumoto Iran said quickly: "Your Majesty, if you want to speed up the modernization of the navy, there is only one way, that is, where to buy the warships they retired from England, so that we can shorten the time and speed up training."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze's eyes lit up.

As long as it is a problem that money can solve, he doesn't care no matter how much money he spends.

"Okay, just do what you said!"

Matsumoto Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally got confused.

Miyamoto Masayoshi was in a heavy mood. Emperor Yunze was now like being possessed. In order to regain the four northern islands as soon as possible, it can be said that he would agree to almost any conditions.

"Your Majesty, although purchasing a retired British warship can quickly improve the naval combat capability in a short period of time, the money consumed seems to be too large. I suggest that Your Majesty think twice before doing it."

As soon as the words were finished, Emperor Yunze became angry.

"Prime Minister, I don't know that Japan is now financially in a hurry, but you have also seen that Liang is bullying us now. If I don't pay the money, Liang will repair it and attack again. Tell me, what will I resist!?"

Masayoshi Miyamoto was speechless by Emperor Yunze.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became very serious and embarrassing.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of Emperor Yunze, and said pale, "Your Majesty is not good. Our delegation sent to the British Kingdom was intercepted by the Liang army when we passed by the four northern islands. Song Qing was killed, and the rest were all detained."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze's face changed suddenly.

At this time, another soldier hurriedly ran in and knelt in front of Emperor Yunze.

"Your Majesty, there is a man named Li Jun outside, who said he was the garrison of Liang Guodong Island, and was ordered to come and negotiate with us."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze's face suddenly became gloomy.

The Liang Kingdom is probably going to show off its power.

Seeing that the opportunity came, Matsumoto Iran bowed to Emperor Yunze and said, "Your Majesty, these two must have come for Tang Long. I suggest that we ignore them. Tang Long is the key person in Liang State to build warships. If this person is released, it will be a major threat to our country."

Emperor Yunze nodded slightly, but still did not make the final decision.

He looked at Miyamoto Masayoshi.

Masayoshi Miyamoto pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should meet this envoy of Liang. Even if we don't hand over Tang Long to them, there is no need to offend them. We can find an interface for them to use force against us. Moreover, I can also take a look at Liang's current attitude towards Japan during the conversation."

Emperor Yunze remained silent.

Matsumoto Yilang snatched the words: "Prime Minister, Liang has bullied us so much, what else can we talk to them? According to me, we should fight them to the end, either die or destroy them."

Miyamoto Masayoshi glanced at Matsumoto Iwaro and said coldly: "Defense Minister, this is wrong. The English people have a saying that there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Although we are mortal enemies with Liang, maybe we will become allies that day. Although this possibility is very low, it does not mean that he does not exist. What's more, our country of Japan doesn't even dare to see a messenger of Liang. If it is spread, isn't this a shame for us Japanese? So your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to see this envoy."

Emperor Yunze nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's meet."
