In the current history, Li Dan is still the famous sea master, and Yan Siqi is also working as his conch in Hirado. However, the Tokugawa family has disappeared. At the beginning, Li Dan and Yan Siqi were just waiting and watching. After all, they were in the Ming Dynasty. Their foundation is not good, and they are afraid that Ming will send troops this time to eradicate them!
But after a period of observation, both Li Dan and Yan Siqi felt that the Ming Dynasty¡¯s sending troops to the Japanese country did not seem to have much to do with them. On the contrary, if the Ming Dynasty defeated the Japanese country this time, people like them could get a lot of benefits from it!
Especially the Matsuura family of the Hirado clan, after learning that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the Tokugawa shogunate, they found Li Dan and Yan Siqi, hoping that they could contact the Ming army at the appropriate time!
Unexpectedly, the Ming army fell into silence after capturing Edo Castle. This caused all the vassal states, including the Hirado domain, to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. However, when the Ming army marched towards Kyoto in a devastating manner, the Matsuura family immediately invited Li Dan and Yan Siqi came to meet the coach of the Ming Dynasty - Cao Ling, the Demon King of the Seventh Heaven!
Li Dan and Yan Siqi arrived in time by chance. When they found Cao Ling's camp, they happened to catch up with Cao Ling's attack on Anzhong City. The two men explained their intention to Ye Bushou, and only after Ye Bushou reported to Cao Ling and obtained his consent did they arrive. Bring them to Cao Ling!
Along the way, Li Dan and Yan Siqi saw that Cao Ling's army was well-organized and well-equipped. Although the Ming army only had 20,000 people, the accompanying Japanese army numbered 100,000. It was very obvious that the Japanese army Although there were many people, they did not dare to act recklessly in front of 20,000 Ming troops!
Seeing this scene, Li Dan and Yan Siqi felt even more uneasy, and they did not dare to be careless at all. After seeing Cao Ling, they both knelt down and kowtowed: "Abandoned overseas citizen Li Dan (Yan Siqi) kowtows to see you. General!"
Who would have thought that after the two kowtowed, Cao Ling ignored them at all and kept watching the development of the battle. Li Dan and Yan Siqi did not dare to raise their heads. They just knelt on the ground and waited quietly with their heads down!
It wasn¡¯t until the Anzhong City defense was breached, the Ming Dynasty dragon flag was flying, and countless Imperial Army troops rushed into Anzhong City that Cao Ling looked at Li Dan and Yan Siqi and asked those words!
Faced with Cao Ling's question, Li Dan and Yan Siqi naturally did not dare to neglect. Li Dan first said: "The general's military force is as sharp as Grandpa Qi's Qi family army back then. Such a military force will naturally defeat the Japanese country without wasting effort!" "
Yan Siqi also followed up and said: "Master Li Hai is right, the general's soldiers are as fierce as tigers and wolves, how can a mere Japanese be considered?"
"Hahahaha!" Cao Ling burst out laughing when he heard this, and then said: "The Jin Yiwei's intelligence said that the two of them are heroes across the sea, but when I met the commander today, I found that the two of them are very capable of flattery!"
When Li Dan and Yan Siqi heard that the Jin Yiwei was paying attention to them, they were so frightened that they almost fell down. Even though they were both murderous pirates, the power of Ming Dynasty's factory guards still made them frightened!
Cao Ling saw that Li Dan and Yan Siqi were really frightened, so he said calmly: "Originally, the Jin Yiwei was afraid that you would help the Japanese country to hinder our army's crusade, so they asked for an order to get rid of you, but your majesty may not, your majesty said, you are all Ming Dynasty Although you have made mistakes as warriors who pioneered overseas, your courage is enough to outweigh your sins, so His Majesty pardons you. Your Majesty also said that if you are willing to serve the imperial court, Your Majesty will reward you!"
Li Dan and Yan Siqi were even more shocked now. They looked up at Cao Ling. Li Dan asked in astonishment: "Is what the general said true? Your Majesty also knows that we and other abandoned people are true?"
Cao Ling smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty wants to bring the Japanese country into your pocket. Naturally, you must know something about the characters of the Japanese country. Although you are not prominent in the Ming Dynasty, you are very important in the Japanese country and Nanyang." If you are famous, His Majesty will naturally know you!"
Li Dan and Yan Siqi are not fools. They know that they have been targeted for a long time, and it is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who has targeted them. Since the General Cao in front of them has already made this clear, it means that the one far away in Beijing His Majesty the Emperor wants to use them to do something!
In this situation, if you don't know how to commend us, you can imagine the consequences. So the two looked at each other, and Li Dan said: "General, if your Majesty has any use for us, just ask me. The two of us have been working for His Majesty with all our heart, and since we are here to pay homage to the General, we have also prepared some gifts!"
After saying that, Li Dan touched Yan Siqi lightly. Yan Siqi was stunned at first, and then realized that this was Li Dan asking him to tell him what the gift was, and this was Li Dan giving him a chance to show his face!
With gratitude, Yan Siqi nodded slightly and said: "General, the two of us have prepared one million taels.Silver, 200,000 stones of grain and fodder to replenish the army, please accept it with a smile from the general! "
Cao Ling was also stunned by the generosity of Li Dan and Yan Siqi. Then Cao Ling smiled slightly and said: "You two are serious, please forgive me for now!"
Li Dan and Yan Siqi were relieved. They both stood up and stood in front of Cao Ling's horse with their hands lowered!
Cao Ling took another look at the battle in Anzhong City. At this time, the gates of Anzhong City were breached. The 100,000 Imperial Alliance Army divided 30,000 to block the four gates of Anzhong City, while the rest rushed in. The city was burned, killed and looted. This was the reward Cao Ling promised them, so naturally he would not stop it at this time!
"I can't accept your gifts!" Cao Ling said very casually while looking ahead!
"General" Li Dan and Yan Siqi were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their backs. They screamed in unison. When Cao Ling waved his hand, they didn't dare to say anything more!
Cao Ling looked at them and said: "You don't need to panic, let's put it this way! You said that His Majesty wants to use you, you just need to do your best for His Majesty, don't think too much about other things!"
Li Dan and Yan Siqi finally felt at ease. Li Dan asked respectfully: "General, does he know what your majesty wants the little people to do? As long as you give the order, the little people will get it done for your majesty even if they are messed up!"
Cao Ling said with a smile: "Your Majesty hopes that you can control the Nanyang shipping and drive the Westerners out of Nanyang!"
After hearing this request, the expressions of Li Dan and Yan Siqi changed. They pondered for a moment before Li Dan said: "To be honest with you, general, I was driven out of Manila by the Spaniards. Although the number of Westerners in Nanyang is There are not many ships and warships, but their ships are strong and powerful, and some of us are really no match for them!"
While speaking, Li Dan had been observing Cao Ling's expression. When he noticed that Cao Ling's expression was gradually becoming colder, he immediately changed the subject and said, "But since His Majesty has ordered us to do this, then the two of us will do it no matter what." We must fulfill His Majesty¡¯s orders!¡±
Li Dan and Yan Siqi have been sailing on the sea for many years, and they are very aware of the gap between themselves and the Westerners in terms of ships and artillery. To put it bluntly, the Westerners have strong ships and powerful guns but fewer numbers, while their ships have fewer broken guns but more numbers!
In this case, if the two sides really fight, it will be half-matched at best, and no one can do anything about the other. It is precisely because both sides realize this that the Westerners now blockade Nanyang. They occupy the southeastern coast, and the two sides do not interfere with each other. The end of trading!
But now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has made it clear that he wants them to attack Nanyang. This can be said to be a very obvious plan to kill with a borrowed knife. This plan will kill not only Westerners, but also overseas merchants like them! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
