Chapter 474    Trade(3)

Wu Tian understood Wu Yong's attitude, that is, he could not exchange land for Tang Long.

If this is done, there will be conflicts among the Liangshan brothers.

Wu Tian pondered for a while and said, "If Emperor Yunze really wants to exchange the Tanglong brothers for the four northern islands, I can only give them two north and south islands at most. If they insist on everything, I can only lead the army to fight with them again!"

Replacing the two islands with Tang Long is already Wu Tian’s bottom line.

Leaving two islands in his own hands, one has a springboard, and he can attack Japan in the future. Secondly, he will give an explanation to the Liang Navy so that they will not feel disgusted.

Wu Yong didn't expect that Wu Tian was willing to give up Liangguo Island to exchange for Tang Long. He was slightly surprised and stood up to pay a big gift to Wu Tian.

"Your Majesty is a monarch with affection and righteousness. Although this time it is not a rescue minister, it is no different from a rescue minister. I am grateful to you."

Wu Tian helped Wu Yong up and said with a smile: "You are all my good brothers, and you all fight with me to fight my country. I have said that we all want to share our country together. This sentence is not empty talk."

Wu Yong nodded.

"You send someone to convey my words to Dai Zong and tell him that the matter of saving Tang Long's brothers is fully handed over to him."

"yes!"

...

On the four northern islands, Dai Zong was also discussing with Li Jun and others about saving Tang Long.

Li Jun said, "In my opinion, Emperor Yunze will not release the brothers Tang Long easily. If others don't say it, just say that defense minister Matsumoto Yilang. He has a clear attitude and is just unwilling to let him go. As for Prime Minister Masayoshi Miyamoto, this person is gloomy and doesn't speak, but it can be seen that he has been thinking about this matter in his heart. This transaction is probably not that simple."

Ruan Xiaoer continued: "If they are unwilling to release Brother Tang Long, then we will concentrate our troops to attack Jiuzhou Island. We will bomb in turn, and we will not believe that Emperor Yunze can withstand it. As long as he can't stand it, he will agree to our conditions and release Brother Tang Long."

Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu also expressed their attitude.

"If we attack Kyushu Island, our brothers are willing to be pioneers and save Brother Tang Long."

Dai Zong shook his head and said, "Although we have 200,000 troops stationed on the four northern islands, our warships only have ten, and the defense is OK. It is impossible to capture Kyushu Island. What's more, howitzers have been deployed around Kyushu Island. The Japanese Manufacturing Bureau has built a batch of small attack boats. Once our warships get closer, they will immediately encounter fierce attacks. Therefore, attack is the last resort, and you must not use it unless you have to."

When the other generals heard this, they remained silent.

It's too restricted to use force.

Just as he was thinking, a soldier came in outside, knelt in front of Dai Zong, bowed and said, "General Dai Zong, Your Majesty sent a letter from Liang State, please watch it."

As he said that, the soldier took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Dai Zong.

Dai Zong took it and looked carefully, showing a look of joy.

When the navy generals saw Dai Zong happy, they were curious and said, "Brother Dai Zong, what did Your Majesty say in the letter?"

Dai Zong showed the letter to everyone.

When everyone saw the letter, the bottom line was to exchange the two islands north and south for peace in Tanglong.

This is a big deal!

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would be willing to exchange land for Tang Long. It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to us Liangshan brothers."

"I knew that Your Majesty would not value land but rather people."

"We can follow such a monarch and make our own blessings."

All the generals were moved by Wu Tian's behavior and said happily.

Dai Zong now has the confidence and said, "I will go in person for this negotiation. Brother Li Jun, you and Brother Zhang Shun follow me to Kyushu Island to meet Emperor Yunze and the Ruan trio. You lead a large army to guard the four northern islands. If we are detained by Emperor Yunze, you must not come to rescue us blindly. Report the situation to His Majesty immediately, and strengthen patrols in the four northern islands to prevent the Japanese attacks. Do you understand?"

The three Ruan Heroes nodded.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Dai Zong led Li Jun and Zhang Shun to Jiuzhou Island in a small boat.

Since Emperor Yunze had greeted the coastal soldiers before, they did not encounter any obstacles and successfully entered Kyushu Island.

As soon as he arrived at the ashore port, Japanese soldiers surrounded him. The leader of a general stared at Dai Zong, Li Jun and Zhang Shun coldly, and said, "Three, please hand over all the weapons on you."

Dai Zong spread his hands and smiled calmly: "This time we are here to negotiate with your Emperor, not to fight, so why do we need to bring weapons?"

The general was embarrassed.

"Take us to see your Majesty quickly. If this matter is delayed, I am afraid that you, a small general, will not be able to afford it."

Dai Zong glanced at the general indifferently.

The general's cheeks were red and very embarrassed.

"Okay, you all come with me."

The general led Dai Zong and the others to the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Yunze had already discussed matters with Miyamoto Masayoshi and Matsumoto Ichiro.

For them, the ultimate goal is to recapture the four northern islands.

Dai Zong led Zhang Shun and Li Jun into the hall, and his face calmly bowed to Emperor Yunze: "The envoy of Liang State has seen His Majesty the Emperor."

Emperor Yunze felt very unhappy when he saw that they were just bowing and didn't even bent down.

But the key now is to recover the four northern islands, so there is no need to pay attention to these small etiquettes.

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, sit down and let's start."

Dai Zong nodded and led Zhang Shun and Li Jun to sit down on the left head, sitting face to face with Miyamoto Masayoshi and Matsumoto Ichiro.

"Envoyee of Liang State, it's not impossible for you to let me release Tang Long, but you have to show some sincerity. If you just return the detained mission to me, you want to take Tang Long away from Japan, which is too stingy? As far as I know, Tang Long is a key figure in the Manufacturing Bureau of your Liang State. Such a powerful person is really not worth the greater conditions to exchange?"

Emperor Yunze said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Matsumoto continued: "Yes, why are you Liang Guo so stingy? Since you are sincere in asking us to negotiate, then there is no sincere condition!"

Dai Zong watched their monarch and ministers sang together, smiled calmly, and said, "I don't know what conditions do you think are sincere?"

Emperor Yunze glanced at Masayoshi Miyamoto.

Masayoshi Miyamoto continued, "Since you talk about sincerity, then you will return the four northern islands to us, and we will return the Tomroon to you."
