0493 Mission to Nagasaki

But now Li Dan is still alive! He has supreme authority over the sea. If he violates Li Dan's orders, it is tantamount to challenging Li Dan's authority. Li Dan may use his last strength to mobilize all the sea forces to strangle him. This is a situation that Liu Pei definitely does not want to face!

Liu Pei even wondered if this armistice was a deliberate ploy by Li Dan to show his weakness. After all, the side that takes the initiative to seek peace is weak in everyone's eyes, and it is a sign of insufficient strength. So as long as Liu Pei thinks that Li Dan is weak, he can challenge his authority. He will order everyone to completely kill Liu Pei.

Another reason why Liu Pei decided to agree to Li Dan's truce was that his strength had grown over time. Every year, new ships are launched in his shipyard, and new sailors come on board at the sailors' school. So he was not afraid of Zheng Zhilong's challenge at all.

What's more, if the war is stopped, although Zheng Zhilong's strength will also recover, it will grow extremely slowly. And after this protracted war, Liu Pei has completely divided Zheng Zhilong's camp. Now most of the maritime merchants and pirates are on the side of neutrality. It is unknown whether Zheng Zhilong's allies, who have seen Liu Pei's bloody methods, can support Zheng Zhilong again when they go to war next time!

So Liu Pei quickly made a decision. He instructed the guards to bring pen and paper to write a letter to Wu Yizhou. Let him arrange for the First Fleet and the Second Fleet to be hidden and wait for orders. At the same time, he ordered the guards to convey the order, so that Liu Dahai, who was studying with Wang Changde in Ye County, immediately rushed back to Jiaozhou to join him.

Liu Dahai's errand to Beijing has almost been done. The money that should have been spent has been spent, and the path that should have been taken has been traveled. All sides have already given him promises. The rest is just a matter of waiting. It is estimated that at the end of the year, Wang Changde will go one step further and officially become the prefect of Laizhou. So Liu Dahai had enough time to continue to study with Wang Changde.

By the time Liu Pei arrived in Jiaozhou, Liu Dahai had already rushed back day and night. After the two met, Liu Dahai saluted Liu Peishi and said, "Dashuai, what do you have to do with summoning me back in such a hurry this time?" ”

Liu Pei said: "There is a very important thing this time, which is to send you to Nagasaki to negotiate peace with Zheng Zhilong. ”

Then Liu Pei told Liu Dahai about the cause and effect of the incident and his guesses. In the end, Liu Pei said: "The main task of your trip to Nagasaki this time is not only to negotiate peace, but also to make friends with all kinds of maritime merchants and pirates. While finding out their details, we must divide them as much as possible! It would be nice if we could draw them to our side. If you can't win them over, at least find a way to make them stand in a neutral position as much as possible. I hope to be with you again in the future

When Zheng Zhilong fights, the fewer allies he has, the better! ”

Liu Dahai really had mixed feelings when he heard Liu Pei's instructions! To be honest, Liu Dahai is familiar with things at sea. So when Liu Pei first had a bad relationship with Zheng Zhilong, Liu Dahai was pessimistic in his heart! He didn't think that Liu Pei was qualified to challenge Li Dan's heir.

But what he didn't expect was that after Liu Pei's efforts, he actually succeeded! not only beat Zheng Zhilong in disgrace, but also made Li Dan have to be cheeky and send a signal to make peace. This is something that surprised Liu Dahai very much! However, Liu Dahai himself is smart, and he has received a lot of guidance from Wang Changde, so he quickly reined in his mind and said seriously: "I understand, Dashuai." This time, I will definitely complete the instructions of the big handsome. However, it may cost a lot of money. ”

Liu Pei said with a bitter face: "I can still squeeze out this money." And I'll get someone from the Intelligence Service to cooperate with you. ”

Liu Dahai said happily: "That's great! The people in the Intelligence Bureau are good helpers! ”

At that moment, Liu Pei called Liu Jiang again, and after a detailed discussion, several people sent Liu Dahai to set off. As for Liu Jiang's people, some of them will accompany Liu Dahai to Nagasaki. A group of people will be on other ships to Nagasaki. They will act in secret to cooperate with Liu Dahai.

When Liu Dahai arrived in Nagasaki, he felt an extraordinary atmosphere as soon as he got off the boat. Everyone seemed to point fingers at him. This made Liu Dahai feel a little confused. However, Liu Dahai was very smart and did not inquire. Instead, according to the plan agreed in advance, he pretended to be sick and stayed in the inn.

In order to do a full set of plays, Liu Dahai also invited Lang Zhong for consultation. With the cooperation of the people around him, Liu Dahai easily made Lang Zhong feel that he was just suffering from the wind chill at sea. He was prescribed a couple of pills.

The reason why Liu Dahai pretended to be sick was to leave time for the people in the intelligence bureau to inquire about information. It wasn't until two days later, when the scheduled time came, that Liu Dahai pretended to be cured and left the inn. At the same time, he sent his subordinates to send a letter of worship and gifts to Li Dan, and then rushed to Kikumu Maru leisurely.

As soon as Kikumaru saw him, he bowed deeply and said, "Liu Jun, it's been a long time!" ”

After Liu Dahai returned the salute, he said: "It's been a long time!" I have too many things to do during this time, and I don't have enough skills! ”

Kikumaru nodded again and again and said, "Yes! Even a businessman like me has heard a lot of news, so you can see that you are indeed busy! ”

Liu Dahai asked in surprise, "What, did you hear any wind?" ”

Kikumaru said exaggeratedly: "It's not just the sound of the wind, it's like thunder!" Now we all know the one behind you

actually challenged Zheng Longtou's position, and he actually succeeded! ”

Then Kikumaru recounted all the rumors he heard to Liu Dahai one by one. Among the rumors, there are all kinds of legends about Liu Pei! But there is one thing in common, everyone thinks that Liu Pei will lose in this battle! In no more than two months, Liu Pei will be completely defeated by Zheng Zhilong, and then kneel in front of him to admit his mistake!

But what everyone didn't expect was that Liu Pei was not only not defeated in a short period of time, but dragged out the war for almost five months! During this period, he also dealt devastating blows to Zheng Zhilong and his allies many times!

And because Liu Pei did a good job of keeping secrets, everyone didn't know Liu Pei's losses. So it was unanimously agreed that Liu Pei's loss was very slight! He's an extraordinarily powerful opponent!

But Liu Dahai knew that Liu Peidi was fine. He also clearly knew that Liu Pei had paid a huge amount of casualties in this war. After all, Zheng Zhilong's subordinates are not scarecrows, they are all veterans who have been crisscrossing the sea for many years. How can you fight against such an opponent without paying for casualties?

But Liu Dahai will definitely not puncture this point, but he deliberately said triumphantly: "Our big master Tianzong wizard is naturally invincible!" In addition, let me ask, is what Li Ye said true? ”

Kikumaru nodded and said, "It must be true!" Li Ye's words have spread throughout the long term and at sea! With Li Ye's prestige, he would not lie. So this time Liu Jun's life is guaranteed, you don't have to worry too much! ”

When Liu Dahai heard this, he completely let go of the last fear in his heart. After all, his current life and death are between Li Dan's thoughts. However, Liu Dahai can also roughly guess Li Dan's current thoughts. Although Li Dan is the leader of pirates, he is more like a maritime merchant and is more willing to do business.

And according to Liu Pei, Li Dan was terminally ill at this time. And the most important thing for Chinese people is the name behind them. Li Dan is afraid that he will not use his lifelong reputation to gamble at this time to catch Liu Pei's big fish. Perhaps he genuinely wanted peace at sea.

So Liu Dahai, who was relieved, was relieved and boldly went to the tavern with Kikumaru for recreation. While the two of them were drunk, a sturdy young sailor walked into the tavern, looked around for a while, and then walked straight to Liu Dahai.

When someone in the sea senses someone approaching, they look up. The young man arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask this master, you are Liu Ye sent by the Red-eyed Dragon King, right?" ”

Liu Dahai guessed that this person should have been sent by Li Dan to spread the word, so he got up and said, "Don't dare!" However, he does have the surname Liu. It's also a messenger sent by the Red-Eyed Dragon King, but I don't know who you are? ”
