On the sea, there is the Ming Navy's test ship, which is not the most advanced but has the most powerful firepower so far, leading a group of broken wooden boats; on the land, there is the Ming Zhenguo General personally leading his three thousand warriors, relying on crudely made armed tricycles to advance and retreat freely.
Shooting wildly; there is a little fairy in the sky who is worthy of being ranked among the top ten beauties of the Ming Dynasty. She leads people to throw down fancy explosive bags. Faced with such a shameful fighting method, surrender is the only correct choice for Shimazu Tadahashi.
However, to surrender, you have to pick the right time, choose the right person, and more importantly, you need to know your own value.
The Tatars who brought disaster to Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty were able to surrender because they still have thousands of years of connection with the Chinese nation. Although they committed heinous crimes, they can only be educated and punished slightly. In addition, Chongzhen gave that
The value of the captive chieftain Huang Tai Jiding was so high that Zhu Youcong had to keep him and escort him back to the capital.
Reyoz, who invaded Dongfan Island and acted recklessly, was able to escape because Ming Dynasty had limited abilities. He needed to be used to connect with Western allies. While ensuring the safety of his own backyard, he tormented Tianzhu to exhaustion and slowly looked for opportunities.
Of course, before that, kidnapping some Western elites and selling some expired arms are additional income.
Let’s look at Shimazu Tadahashi. In terms of identity and status, he is just the lord of the Satsuma Domain. Others with greater prominence than him on the Japanese island include Kyoto Grasshopper and Edo Prodigal Son, so his life is not worth much.
Even though he claims to be related to the three thousand boys and girls that Xu Fu abducted, he is still an un-evolved Japanese pirate under the guidance of erroneous public opinion in the Ming Dynasty! In terms of timing, if he is under Zhu You
If Cong made this decision before he decided to send troops, he might still be able to follow the overseas legions and raise his sword to chop off the Japanese pirates, but now...[
"Baga! Go again! We must let the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty know our sincerity!" Nestled under a ruined wall, Shimazu Tadahashi kept roaring. Ten batches, ten batches came to ask for surrender.
The messenger turned into a puddle of meat as soon as he broke out of the collapsed city wall! "Tell the samurai and ashigaru to drive out those damn farmers! Let them kneel in front of the Ming army to provide cover for the messenger!"
"
"Five thousand and one! I made a profit!" Tao Qianzhi felt relieved when he shouted this sentence, five thousand taels! Five thousand taels of silver were finally recovered. This is all because the Japanese pirates did not choose a better posture to die.
, so that he didn’t dare to move out of his bed for two days and two nights!
Two days and two nights? This profiteer actually fired a machine gun on a broken three-wheeler for two days and two nights, and he was still alive and kicking without dying? Is this... People have faith, and many people are even willing to give their lives to protect this thing.
The price is, and Tao Qianzhi's faith is money! As long as he doesn't embarrass the Ming Empire and doesn't let the Zhenguo general find an opportunity to deal with him, he will do anything for money!
"Sir, can we take a rest?" Gao Dingliao, who was in charge of pedaling, was very confused. Although General Zhenguo issued an order for people to take a rest, other teams were taking turns to rest, so they were the only ones who were unlucky.
I fell in love with such a profiteer! He was rocking happily on top, but does he know how hard it is for us pedalers to offset the powerful recoil?
"Substitute someone when you get tired!" Tao Qianzhi spat out bloodshot saliva, taking advantage of the opportunity to change folders and muttered: "There are eight of us, how can we divide one tael of silver? Didn't you listen to Mr. Nan just now?
Are you shouting at the group? They have killed nearly 10,000 Japanese pirates!"
"What? Ten thousand people?" Gaoding was popular in Liaoning, and he didn't care about the money. Anyway, he rented the court's land at a low price to eat and drink, so he didn't have to worry about it. He only had nowhere to spend the money he received every month.
Why do you need so many? But after the battle in Liaodong, he finally managed to get into the general's guard. He also expected to get two military medals to show off after clearing away the Japanese pirates. How could he let the soldiers riding for Mr. Nan get the upper hand?
"Brothers, work harder! Our goal is 20,000, and we won't rest until we get enough!"
"Seven cents! The latest market price. A Japanese pirate is seven cents of silver! I don't want the watermelon head! You have to keep track of how many you hit, don't be blind!" Although Zhang Tianlin, who was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, had not done any business, she also
He also understands the principle that things are rare and valuable. There are more than a million Japanese pirates on the opposite side, and regular army soldiers cannot go north to trade with the Tatar eunuchs under Li Zicheng. So he has the final say on the purchase price?
"Profiteer!" Tao Qianzhi cursed angrily, "Yesterday it was only seven cents and five cents, and today it has dropped again!"
"How much did you earn this time?" He clapped his hands. Zhu Youcong, who had just stepped down from the fighting position, took the tea from Zhang Tianlin and asked casually.
"What do you mean by making money? Isn't this the last thing that the general can do to earn some money for his brothers..." If it weren't for the fact that the rifles in the hands of the overseas legions were not at the same level as the machine guns used by the generals' guards, Zhang Tianlin would not have made a fortune for the regular army.
What about the opportunity? Afraid of being asked for dividends by the Zhenguo General, he quickly changed the subject and said: "General, the Japanese pirates seem to have sent an envoy out of the city again!"
"Still coming?" Zhu Youcong admired Shimazu Zhongheng's persistence and shook his head and said: "Tell the soldiers to let this group of people come over! In addition, send a signal to the madam to ask them to retreat fifty miles and land in order to replenish supplies and medicine!"
"General! What are you doing?" After receiving the order, Tao Qianzhi looked unhappy. Even if he wanted to accept the surrender of the Japanese pirates, he would have to sweep for two more days. If he stopped now, he would lose all his money.
.
"Are not you tired?"
Tao Qianzhi, whose hands were shaking to the point of breaking, straightened his chest as much as possible and replied loudly: "I'm not tired, my subordinates!"
"Stop talking nonsense to me here! Look how jealous you are, you are already having sex with that rabbit. Tell the soldiers to hurry up and get some sleep. The next battle will probably be even worse!" I want Zhu Youcong and the Japanese pirates.
It is impossible to negotiate, but the entire army has been fighting for two consecutive days and it is time to find a chance to give them a rest. "Zhang Tianlin! Take your team to be on guard!"
"Then these..." Looking at the farmers who provided cover for the Japanese pirate envoys, Zhang Tianlin began to drool again. Are they bandits? They haven't read any books, so what do they know about the blessings of a good life in heaven? He only knows what he knows.
There are tens of thousands of people. If you take care of them all, you will definitely save a lot of money.
"I don't want to be intimidated when negotiating. It's up to you to figure out what to do!"
A few quarters of an hour later, under the glare of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, the Satsuma Domain envoy, carrying several civil and military personnel and carts of treasures that had been collected with great difficulty, was tremblingly allowed to approach the Ming army camp. At this time, the Ming Dynasty once again showed a
As befits a country of etiquette, it actually did not continue to make things difficult for them, but only confiscated the weapons they carried.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Youcong, who had changed his clothes, was sitting upright. He said casually to Nan Juyi, who was tireless and insisted on coming to join in the fun: "Second wife, wake up! There is someone who can fool around better than you. Sit down."
It looked so good that I hid my face and walked away!"[
"Saigo Zaemon, the envoy of the Satsuma Domain, has met the general of the Land of the Sun, and the Lord of the Upper Dynasty!" Saigo Zaemon bowed to Zhu Youcong respectfully, and then stood calmly where he was.
It was as if he wasn't here to surrender.
"Bang...bang..."
/
Outside the big tent, a series of gunfire suddenly rang out.
"Sir General, what are you..." Isn't this a negotiation? Why are beans frying starting again outside? Although this voice does not sound like the kind of thing that can turn people into meat, Saigo Zuoe still expressed his
Paying attention to the matter. "Since you agreed to accept our surrender, why..."
Zhu Youcong's face was also full of anger. He looked at him coldly and said: "I'm not talking about you, let's just talk! You brought so many people here, you want to scare me, right?"
Scare him? Does this damn fat man have any conscience when he speaks? Those people lying on the ground and kowtowing outside are all unarmed farmers. They are not even ants in front of his terrifying army. How can we exemplify people?
"No! No! General, they are just a group of farmers who don't understand etiquette. Please don't care about it! Or should I send someone to ask them to go back?"
With such an explanation, Zhu Youcong was really embarrassed to mess around. He waved his hand and said: "What are you fussing about? Do you think I am the kind of person with a small belly? You don't have to work too hard. Anyway, I am.
The principle is that if anyone scares me, I will kill him!"
"But..." Saigo Zaemon was about to say something, but when he saw the very unfriendly eyes of the guards in the tent, he decided to give up and continue to argue. Those farmers are worthless anyway. Soothe the devil and let him focus on
It is important to look elsewhere to gain a glimmer of hope for the Satsuma Domain.
Chatting and knocking on the table, Zhu Youcong said calmly: "Tell me, what are you here to do?"
"My lord, I have come here to offer a tribute on my lord's order. Please be kind and generous, General, and spare our little Satsuma Domain!" Saigo Zaemon took out a gift list from his arms and respectfully said
Hold the ground in your hands.
"That's it?" Nan Juyi, who hadn't slept for two consecutive days, looked exhausted. He took the gift sheet, glanced at it and said to Zhu Youcong: "General, they are treating you like a beggar!"
"No! No! Sir General, we definitely don't mean to humiliate you! This is just..." Saigo Zaemon cursed the sanctimonious Ming official in his heart, and doubted whether he had arrived at the Ming army camp or...
Into a bandit's den? If anyone was willing to use so much treasure to send beggars away, he would have quit his job and squatted on the street corner long ago.
"Okay! Okay! Second wife, don't be too picky. What good things do you expect them to come up with in this poor place?" Zhu Youcong interrupted Saigo Zaemon's words very considerately and pointed at the quilt.
The pile of boxes that were brought in said: "Open it, let me see what's inside?"
A whole box of pearls plus several large boxes of gold and silver are all shining attractively. It seems that the Japanese pirates understand the preferences of the Ming people better than their Western allies. But the pearls are really too small.
, not as big as the chess pieces played by the two misfortunes at home.
"It seems that my military advisor was right. You really treat me as a beggar!" Zhu Youcong couldn't hide his disappointment, resisting the urge to kick Saigo Zaemon out. "But.
Well, I am a soft-hearted person and cannot bear to see others being wronged. These rags are not worth much, but I still want to hear what you have to say!"
"Thank you! Thank you, General!" When did the people of the Ming Dynasty become more greedy than those businessmen in the West? Ninety thousand taels of silver, five thousand taels of gold, plus a whole box of pearls the size of longan, are all in this fat man's mouth.
Is it worthless rags? What’s frustrating is that now someone’s fist is bigger than his own, Saigo Zaemon still has to cry and say: “Shogun-sama is right, I, the poor in Satsuma Domain, really can’t show anything.
Such items come. This is just a meeting gift for you. If the general is willing to accept our sincerity, my lord will have more..."
"Sincerity?" Zhu Youcong pursed his lips in disdain, and said with a smile: "If you want to surrender, just say so! After all these twists and turns, you think I am very free, right?"
This damn fat man really refused to show any mercy. Saigo Zaemon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! Surrender, we are willing to surrender!"
"It's okay to surrender! But do you know where you went wrong?"
"Nani?" Saigo Zaemon wanted to rush forward and kick that damn fat man. This Ming army unreasonably came to Kyushu to cause trouble, killing hundreds of thousands of people and almost killing Tsurumaru.
The castle was demolished, and now it’s the Satsuma clan’s fault?
"Where are you still asking me?" Zhu Youcong, who had no education and could not understand the Japanese language, shouted towards the door: "Aurelio, why are you wandering around outside? Come in now!"
"Tell this thing where they went wrong!"[
"Yes, my Lord General!" Swallowing hard, Aurelio tried his best not to look at the pile of rags piled in the big tent. He began to talk about God's creation of man, and slowly peeled off the cocoons one by one.
Saigo Zaemon analyzed how the Japanese pirates provoked the Ming Dynasty's general.
"Ah..." Chatter yawned and looked at the fish belly white outside. To say that this Aurelio is really good at making mistakes. He actually talked about it all the way from the afternoon of the first day to Tatsuki. What's even more commendable is Saigo Zuowei.
The door was still there and listened with interest. "Okay, okay! That's almost it!"
"Merciful Lord General..." Just now he said that God was hung on the cross and resurrected full of blood. Saigo Zaemon, who was still filled with emotions, suddenly remembered the purpose of his mission and quickly said with a shy smile.
: "Then can our negotiations begin?"
"Negotiation? Of course! But before we start, I need your feudal lord to do one thing!" After resting for so long, the soldiers' physical strength should have been partially restored, and Zhu Youcong decided to stop the intermission.
"Come here, drag that thing up for me!"
"Young Master?" Although Shimazu Mitsuhisa was beaten all over his face when he tried to seduce General Ming Zhenguo, he was still recognized by Saigo Zaemon.
"Is this really the son of your feudal lord?" After receiving a positive answer, Zhu Youcong nodded and said to the few original Dongchang fans around him: "Drag him down to Lingchi! Cut the slices into thin slices.
point!"
"No! No! Lord General! You can't do this!" Saigozaemon panicked. After all, the young master is considered a prisoner. Even if he is no longer welcome, he should stay as a hostage!
"There is nothing in this world that I dare not do! When you leave, remember to take the cut pieces of meat and the bones back to Shimazu Tadahashi, and tell him that I will talk to him when he finishes eating them!"
Patting Saigo Zaemon's shoulder, Zhu Youcong put on the cutest smile and said: "Because you can speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin and have sent me so many rags, I won't cut you."
It's an eyesore! If you bring another message to the guys in Tsurumaru Castle for me, telling them that except for girls between the ages of eight and eighteen, the Satsuma Domain only has 12,000 places to survive, then I will definitely give you up.
