Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At night, in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from attacking at night, Usuki Castle was completely dark.

    Only the city lord¡¯s residence was lit with a solitary lamp like a bean.

    Zong Lin sat cross-legged on the tatami and listened to Zong Huan relay the requirements of the Ming Dynasty:

    "The first is the 'Five Ports of Trade'. That is, only five foreign trade ports are open on Kyushu Island, and the rest of the places are not allowed to enter the sea. Second, all trade ports can only trade with the 'Tamna Chamber of Commerce', and other foreign ships are not allowed  Stop. Third, each family on Kyushu Island no longer maintains a naval force, and maritime security is handed over to the Ming Dynasty Royal Tamra Garrison Area for protection. As a price, each family on Kyushu Island must pay them a protection fee of one million taels of silver every year"

    With a bang, Zong Lin smashed his beloved Tang Dynasty tea set.  His heavy breathing dimmed the candlelight, and he was clearly very angry.

    But Zong Lin did not have the same attack as during the day, but remained silent.

    Seeing that his lord was silent, Zong Huan sighed lightly. At first, the other party only requested to monopolize trade with Kyushu, nothing more.  It's better now that the trading rights have been divided into five parts, and the Dayou family only holds one fifth, and they can no longer keep the navy.

    And you have to pay compensation.

    "In addition, we must compensate them for their loss of five hundred thousand taels of silver, and this matter can be cleared up." He swallowed and added.

    Zong Lin didn't respond for a long time, but suddenly he heard a whooshing scream outside, and a rocket landed in the city.

    He stood up nervously and went out to check, but saw that the sea had returned to dead silence, and the Ming Dynasty people did not continue to attack.

    ?Obviously this is just a warning.

    "The road is the same as the building and the fire place" Looking at the dark sea for a long time, Zong Lin recited a haiku, which translated into Chinese means "a good road leads directly to a good house, but it is a crematorium".

    "The grass is green and the grass is lush, and this is the cremation place."  ¡¯

    "Hahaha! The wife's adultery is the same, and the wife's adultery is the same as the excitement!" Zong Lin couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard the words, and the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared.

    The meaning of this haiku is - stealing someone's wife is thrilling and delicious, like tasting pufferfish!

    In Zong Lin¡¯s career, he has encountered many hardships, so what does this one more setback mean?

    "How are you going to reply, lord?" Seeing that he returned to his profession, Zong Huan knew that his lord had adjusted, and asked anxiously: "Master Zhao said that a reply must be made before dawn. Otherwise, as soon as dawn, they will  The bombardment of Usuki Castle"

    "How else can I reply? You are a swordsman, but I am a fish. Of course, I can only let it be slaughtered." Old Wang Oh no, Zong Lin put his hands behind his back and looked at the gold-swallowing giant beast hidden in the dark bay and said: "  Fortunately, the people of the Ming Dynasty only wanted money, and did not want our lives like Maori Gong."

    "That's true." Zong Huan nodded and said: "Master Zhao said that if the lord stops making small moves, he can even help the lord seize control of the Kanmon Strait Of course, there is a fee."

    "Hmm." Zong Lin couldn't help but feel moved, yes, although the Bungo navy he carefully prepared for Mouri Motonari was easily destroyed by the Ming Dynasty people.  But doesn¡¯t this also mean that the Ming Dynasty¡¯s fleet was powerful enough to suppress any navy in Japan?

    If the people of the Ming Dynasty can take action to help themselves seize the Kanmon Strait, then the Otomo family can definitely drive the Maori family out of Kyushu!

    The more he thought about it, the hotter his heart became, and the more he felt that he would definitely win this way.  "But we can't even pay the five hundred thousand taels, so where can we find so much money?"

    "I also mentioned it to Mr. Zhao. He said that if the lord can't afford the money at the moment, he can owe it first, but he must use the production of Gangcheng Yinshan and Chengjinggu Jinshan to repay the principal and interest." Zong Huan replied in a low voice.

    As I said before, why are Japanese daimyo so rich?  Mainly because my family owns a mine.  Take Kyushu Island as an example. Among the three major forces currently, the Otomo family controls Okaki Ginzan and Joidani Kaneyama.  The Shimazu family controlled Mount Hirasaka and Kajiki Kaneyama, while the Ryuzoji family controlled Hitoyoshi Kaneyama.

    ¡°Mountains of gold and silver are the constant source of financial resources for these warlords, and they are the capital for their struggle to dominate the Nine Provinces.

    "Hiss" Zong Lin naturally felt a pain in his heart. Is this young man named Zhao a big leech?  It's so good at sucking blood!

    "In addition, we can also use wood, sulfur and other materials to repay. In short, as long as we defeat the Maori family, there is always a way to repay." Zong Huan had obviously understood the situation and said in a deep voice: "On the other hand, if we  If we lose this game, all the gold and silver will belong to others. So we might as well just give it a try!"

    "Well." Zong Lin nodded in agreement and said, "What you said makes sense.Sister Ma couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Young master made it up again. I'm afraid that Wang Shiku who wrote the book is also Hu Chai."

    "Yes, how can one block the wind?" Sister Qiaoqiao nodded with deep understanding.

    "I think it's true, because you two are blocking me, I don't feel cold at all." Mr. Zhao said with a shy face: "Sisters, I have pity on my little brother, let's just sleep like this."

    "Scared, that won't work!" Qiaoqiao blushed with shame and glanced at Sister Ma guiltily.  Although when she was on night watch, because Zhao Hao loved to have nightmares, she sometimes had to let him sleep with his hands clenched, so it was common for the two of them to sleep in the same bed.

    Of course it¡¯s two quilts!  real!

    But how can you be so embarrassed to agree to three people sleeping together?

    But Sister Ma looked at her with a smile, as if to say, if you have no objection, I will agree.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
