Chapter 87
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Li Xiao probed Chen Hailong's tone, but Chen Hailong flatly rejected Li Xiao's proposal. As the Marquis of Jinghai in the Ming Dynasty, he still had this integrity.
On the other hand, the news that came out made Li Xiao even more disappointed. The news that came to Li Yongfang through various channels was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, but no response came back.
Facts have proved that it is difficult to succeed in conspiracy. It requires many prerequisites, and pig-like opponents are often encountered but not sought.
Li Xiao felt that he had taken it for granted. Li Xiu's strategy had a fatal flaw. It required Nurhaci to have a brain like a pig, but facts proved that Mr. Nurhaci was an outstanding politician, military strategist, and conspirator.
It is really not in line with the actual situation to expect this Iron Warrior to suddenly lose his mind and play worse cards than ever before.
However, Li Xiao still did not intend to give up. The gold that the Japanese pirates took away from Shawogou must be very large. Otherwise, Jiugui Jialong would not have given 400 taels of gold to the Fifth Master so easily to redeem those hundreds of prisoners of war. You know, in
In a place like Japan, the most valuable thing is real gold and silver. Compared with those things, human life is not worth mentioning.
Since the people of the Ming Dynasty are unwilling to cooperate with them, they will go to the Japanese country to cooperate with them. Anyway, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died not many years ago at this time, and the Tokugawa shogunate did not have the ability of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The entire Japanese country was still in chaos.
Morale, the daimyo fought back and forth. There were even group fights like the Battle of Sekigahara!
After all the calculations, the biggest enemy of the Satsuma clan of Kuki Yoshitaka is Mouri Terumoto, who is currently the most disliked by the shogunate.
The sunshine in June, with the warmth of early summer, shone on Li Xiao's body. The ship crashed into waves one after another, and the blue waves turned into thousands of fragments and hit the ship's hull.
However, Li Xiao was a little strange. Usually when passing by the harbor, there would be dolphins jumping on the bow of the ship. But near the harbor of Japan, not a single dolphin appeared.
Dots of sail shadows began to appear in the distance, and the fishing net was lifted up with splashes of water. The sunlight reflected streaks of light, as if the fishing net was lifting diamonds.
"The boss! In front of you are the fiefdoms of the Maori family, Shu Fang Kingdom and Nagato Province. The feudal lord Terumoto Mori is stationed in Hagi. After the Battle of Sekigahara, the Maori family was deprived of their fiefdom. The economy in the domain is now very difficult. Your proposal
It is estimated that there will be a positive response from the Maori feudal lord."
"Which vassal state in Japan is stronger now?"
"Yamaguchi Domain, Satsuma Domain, Hizen Domain, Tosa Domain. This is currently the most powerful foreign domain in Japan. The Tokugawa Shogunate has been working hard to weaken the power of these feudal states. Especially the Yamaguchi Domain of Mori Terumoto. Mori Terumoto is
In the Battle of Sekihara, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army.
After the defeat of the Western Army, the Tokugawa shogunate's generals have been working hard to weaken his power. Mouri Terumoto's life is very difficult now. So I say that the proposal of the big boss is very attractive to him."
Li Xiao is very lucky now that he got this guy Ai Husheng. This guy often came to the Japanese country back then and was very familiar with the situation in the Japanese country.
Moreover, this guy spoke Japanese language very authentically. As far as Li Xiao was concerned, it was impossible to tell whether this guy was a Japanese or a Korean Han.
When the ship arrived at the port, Li Xiao stepped off the ship. Immediately, a group of guys in warrior uniforms rushed up noisily, muttering in their mouths.
Li Xiao didn't speak because he didn't understand. But seeing these arrogant guys made him feel extremely disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
These Japanese people pointed at Li Xiao's nose and shouted "wala" and "wala".
"Master, they are ronin from the Japanese country. They are samurai who have lost their land. They want...!"
"Isn't it just asking for money?" Li Xiao said disdainfully. This is a common tactic used to bully outsiders. No matter where it is, there will be a group of these guys entrenched in docks and stations.
"Yes, yes! They are going to...!"
"Roast chicken!" Before Ai Husheng could finish speaking, Li Xiao shouted.
Roast chicken, thighs, knuckles, tripe, and haggis rushed out like a husky after seeing a ball. Although he was small, he was extremely fast. Li Xiao felt that his eyes were blurred, and the blood began to flow from those wanderers.
Martial arts in the world are all about speed, and before those ronin could react, the thin-edged daggers as long as a ruler kept smearing on the key parts of these ronin.
The blade of the thin-edged dagger is very sharp, and it was specially made by Mr. Yu in the past few days. Not only is the thin blade sharp, but it is also extremely hard.
Blood was flying from the necks and joints of those ronin. The movements of these boys were so fast that there were even afterimages!
The ronin are all samurai who have been training for many years, but they just became ronin after losing their land. But none of these people can make a move in front of the roast chicken, and many of them can't even pull out their swords.
Even if he reacted quickly and pulled out the knife, no one would have a chance to chop it out.
Seven or eight ronin warriors were knocked to the ground by the roast chickens in the blink of an eye.
There was chaos on the pier, and the crowds fled in all directions. Although these ronin were just hooligans, they were cared for by local officials from all walks of life. Now that seven or eight people died at once, I am afraid that the feudal soldiers will come here soon.
.
Those feudal soldiers didn't care about this. They believed that everyone involved in this matter would be implicated. If they didn't take the money, they would probably be hacked to death on the spot.
"Master, this...!" Ai Husheng was a little worried whether Li Xiao's killing method would anger Maori Huiyuan. This old guy is famous for his bad temper!
"Don't worry, the Japanese people are just like this. The more polite you are to them, the more they will look down on you. If you beat them hard and kill them, you will probably gain their respect in the end.
To put it bluntly, these are a bunch of bitches. Japanese people are all bitches!" Li Xiao said calmly as he looked at the people escaping in panic on the pier.
Li Xiao said this, but Ai Husheng didn't dare to be careless. After all, this is not Pidao's own land. If the Japanese people try to play with their lives, their own ship will suffer a big loss. After muttering to Jiang Chaozong next to him,
Jiang Chaozong immediately ordered the security company to be on alert.
A continuous firegun was also set up on the bow of the ship, with the muzzle of the gun aimed at the Japanese soldiers who appeared on the dock. As soon as Li Xiao gave the order, the dock was immediately covered with blood and corpses.
Li Xiao said nothing and looked at the Japanese soldiers hurriedly over from his horse with a cold face.
Most of those soldiers were holding strange spear-like things, which Li Xiao knew from the forums of later generations. Because the Kikuchi family was the first to use this thing, it was called the Kikuchi Spear. The short Japanese soldier held two spears in his hand.
The long spear looks very funny.
Seeing that everyone on Li Xiao's boat was holding firecrackers, the soldiers immediately became nervous. It didn't take long before a large number of matchlock soldiers appeared. And the new samurai who appeared were no longer ordinary soldiers wearing ashigaru.
.Instead, a samurai dressed in contemporary attire appeared!
"Ai Husheng, go down and tell them. Li Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Daming Shanhaiguan Customs, asks to see Mr. Maori, the lord of the Yamaguchi Domain."
Ai Husheng curled his lips! Asking for an interview, is there such a request for an interview? He killed seven or eight people in the first place. Those idiots should stay away from them in the future. Their childish appearance conceals their ferocious nature, and they look harmless to humans and animals.
But in reality, there will never be any chance of survival.
So cruel!
Ai Husheng shouted several times in Japanese, and immediately some soldiers carrying flags ran out on horseback.
Hagi Castle is actually on the seaside, and it is also called Shigetsu Castle because it is backed by Shigetsu Mountain. The horse quickly ran into Hagi Castle, and it didn't take long for Mouri Terumoto to get it and get the report.
"The commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan in the Ming Dynasty?" Maoli Huiyuan muttered to himself suspiciously.
"Father, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty Customs is a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty. Why did he come to our Hagi City? Is there something wrong?" Mouri Terumoto's eldest son Mouri Hidetada inherited his father's fox-like character.
"The other party is a senior official of the Ming Dynasty, we must"
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Li Xiao probed Chen Hailong's tone, but Chen Hailong flatly rejected Li Xiao's proposal. As the Marquis of Jinghai in the Ming Dynasty, he still had this integrity.
