Chapter 990: Xu Zi Shuai Qi
Osumi Island, the former owner's mansion has now become the Huiwang Mansion, and the island is heavily guarded, especially near the Huiwang Mansion, from time to time you can see soldiers with loaded guns patrolling and guarding.
Osumi Island is just a small island, compared to Kyushu Island, it is the difference between sesame seeds and watermelons, but the small area has the advantage of a small area, that is, it is easier to defend, and Osumi Island is surrounded by the sea, so you can retreat from the sea at any time and escape into the depths of the ocean to save your life.
Wang Zhi was very sorry for his life, he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and was naturally very afraid that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to quell the rebellion, in addition, he was also worried that the local Japanese people would plot against him, so he built the palace on Osumi Island, and the guards on the island were all pirates under his original command, and he was loyal to him.
It is said that since the flag was erected against the Ming Dynasty last year, Wang Zhi and his son purged all the personnel of the imperial court stationed in the Oriental Protectorate, and recruited troops and horses, attracting many pirates, ronins, and local homeless ruffians to join, and now the troops under his command have reached 50,000 people, known as 100,000 to the outside world, the momentum is very huge, and the local warlords of the Japanese State are afraid of three points.
In addition, because of the consideration that the people of the Wa Kingdom may cause trouble, when Xu Jin left the Wa Kingdom, he left a large number of warships and a number of advanced firearms to Wang Zhi and his son, so now Wang Zhi and his son can definitely go sideways in the Wa Kingdom, even without the backing of the Ming Dynasty, the father and son can still firmly control the large territory of Kyushu Island in a short period of time.
At this time, in the palace of King Hui, Wang Zhi, who was nearly sixty years old, was wearing a bright yellow horse coat and a crown of heaven, sitting behind the desk and dialing the abacus to settle the accounts, yes, it was to settle the accounts!
Wang Zhi was born as a businessman, although he was a pirate, but he is also a pirate merchant specializing in smuggling business, he is the best at business, only interested in making money, and is not interested in rebelling and claiming the king.
So although he is now called the king, and his official jurisdiction governs Kyushu Island, which is larger than Zhejiang, Wang Zhi still does his old job every day - taking care of accounts. As for political and military affairs, he was handed over to Yoshiko Mao Haifeng to take care of, and he would only ask about some particularly important matters, such as forming an alliance with Orishin Miko, and assassinating the emperor and shogun.
Wang Zhi was making calculations, sometimes taking notes, looking like he was willing to eat, and even had a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with last month's earnings.
It is said that since Wang Zhi and his son erected the flag against the Ming Dynasty, the merchants from the Ming Dynasty have decreased sharply, almost cut off, but the foreigners who came to Osumi Island to do business have not decreased but increased, and the southwest monsoon has blown after the year, and there are more foreign merchants who have crossed the ocean, so the income during this period is very good.
A few days ago, there was also a Western customer who ordered a batch of flintlock pistols at sky-high prices, and Wang Zhizheng was considering whether to buy it!
"Son-in-law, see father!"
Just as Wang Zhi was settling the accounts, a middle-aged man with a handsome temperament walked in, and it was Wang Zhi's righteous son Mao Haifeng.
Wang Zhi put down the brush and said happily: "You don't have to be polite, sit down!" ”
"Thank you, Father!" Mao Haifeng did not sit down, but took out a copy of the invitation and gave it to Wang Zhidao: "Father, General Oda Hideyoshi invites you to go to Kyoto to attend the emperor's enthronement ceremony next month!" ”
Wang Zhi said abruptly: "It's just a puppet emperor, a little kid who is less than two years old, it is estimated that others have to pee on the, what is the meaning of this enthronement ceremony!" ”
Mao Haifeng said with a smile: "Father, the little kid emperor can not give face, but General Oda Hideyoshi still has to give face." ”
"Oda Hideyoshi!" Wang Zhi said hesitantly: "This woman is a good skill, and now she has become a shogun, supporting a royal family who does not know anything to sit on the throne of the emperor, but in fact, she herself is the empress, and Wu Zetian is the second!" ”
Mao Haifeng pouted and said: "No matter how great Orishin Miko is, if she doesn't have our support, she won't be able to sit in the position of shogun, hehe, not to mention that women are women after all, and they can't do without men." ”
Wang Zhi frowned and said: "The ambition of this daughter is not small, whether Shu'er can control her, I am worried about raising tigers in the future for my father." ”
Mao Haifeng's eyes flashed, and he said proudly: "Father, rest assured, sooner or later, the son will make this woman submit to the crotch, and then the entire Wa Kingdom will be the world of our Wang family, hehe, at that time, my father will be the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and the Ming Emperor will also be on an equal footing." ”
After Mao Haifeng finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and his face was slightly red due to excitement. Zhu Yuanzhang, a leprosy monk, can be the emperor, and he can naturally be the emperor!
Compared with the excitement of his son Mao Haifeng, Wang Zhi's heart did not fluctuate much, he was already quite satisfied with his current status, being the emperor? He never thought that he, an old man who was nearly sixty years old, would have such a blessing, in contrast, he was even more worried that Daming would send troops to suppress him.
"Cao'er, now that the southwest monsoon has blown, the Ming may send a sailor here, so it's better to be more careful, don't get carried away," Wang Zhi reminded.
Mao Haifeng said confidently: "Father doesn't have to worry, it's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is flooding, our current strength is not weak, and the Ming army sailors dare to come, so let them have no return."
What's more, there was news that at the end of last year, the Tartar soldiers besieged the capital and broke through the outer city, almost killing Emperor Jiajing. Now that the Tartars have retreated, the Ming Dynasty is also seriously injured, and it is still undecided whether the sailors can be sent here. Hehe, if we are given another year, then our armory will probably be able to make flintlock pistols and Fran cannons on our own, I'm afraid they will do something! ”
Wang Zhiyan felt a little relieved when he heard this, and nodded and said: "That being said, we also have to beware, if Xu Jin personally leads the sailor to come......"
"Report!"
Before Wang Zhi finished speaking, a guard ran in and shouted in a panic, startling Wang Zhi's father and son.
Mao Haifeng's face sank, and he shouted: "Why are you so flustered? ”
The guard turned pale, knelt on the ground and ate, and said, "Wang...... Lord Wang, the ...... General, ...... It's not good, the Ming army sailors ...... Here it is. ”
Mao Haifeng and Wang Zhi's faces changed in unison, and they stood up suddenly!
Mao Haifeng: "How many people are here?" ”
Wang Zhi: "Who leads the army?" ”
Mao Haifeng and Wang Zhi spoke almost in unison, but they asked two different questions.
The guard said in horror: "I don't know how many people there are, but there are many warships, and there will be no less than 20,000 people, Shuai Qi...... The handsome flag is embroidered with the word Xu! ”
Wang Zhi's old face was as pale as paper, and he sat back on the chair in a distraction, it's over, I'm really afraid of what, Xu Zi Shuaiqi, eight ~ nine out of ten are Xu beheaded!!
Mao Haifeng's heart also involuntarily gave birth to a trace of fear at this moment, don't look at what he said just now, when he heard that Xu Jin personally led the troops to come, he still couldn't stop being afraid, Xu Changsheng Xu beheaded him, but it was not a waste of fame!
