Chapter 810: The Wicked Have Their Own Evil Man Mill (Second Update)
Hou Mizuo has a good memory, and he recognized the person in front of him at once, isn't it the same interpreter who followed his carpenter more than a month ago?
How did you become the head of the Tagawa family in a blink of an eye?
"Ermu, hurry up, take His Majesty the Emperor into the city!" Liu Hong gradually patted Nanazaemon on the shoulder and said, not even looking at Hou Mizuo's face when he spoke.
"Yes, sir!" Nanazaemon did not kneel to Hou Mizuo and Emperor Guangming, but instead bowed to Liu Hong.
He received an order from Liu Hongjian half an hour in advance, and when he heard that Liu Hongji's troops were still following the pursuit of the Tokugawa family, he immediately recruited men to go to Shimane Castle to prepare to meet the enemy.
I never thought that the Tokugawa family's followers would evacuate when they followed them outside Shimane City, which made Cui Geng and Du Yongan in the city very unhappy.
It's just that the most unhappy thing is not them, but Hou Shuiwei.
The head of the Tagawa family not only did not salute him, but saluted his carpenter, and it was still the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty to see that this posture was clearly practiced.
So it seems that his carpenter is the real commander here?
What about the Tagawa family's incomparable reverence for the emperor? What about helping him restore the emperor's rule?
Why was you left out in the cold as soon as you got out of the car? How can you put on pants and not recognize people?
"Carpenter, are you from Tagawa's family?" Hou Mizuo stammered.
"How so? Your Majesty, where do you want to go, this is my good friend, he is the nephew of Yumatsu Tagawa and is in charge of the defense of Shimane. Liu Hongjian also suddenly realized that it seemed a bit of a scoundrel to put on pants and not recognize people, so he dealt with it casually.
"The old majesty was frightened by the fatigue all the way, so Ermu hurriedly invited your majesty into the city." Seeing that Emperor Guangming and Prince Zhaozinai also got out of the car one after another, Liu Hong gradually urged.
It is said that after finally settling the emperor's family, Nanazaemon found Liu Hongjian again.
"Lord, although the emperor was picked up by you to Shimane, I think that the Saito and Tokugawa families will also know the reason for everything according to the map, I'm afraid they won't give up!" Nanazaemon said with a frown.
"Saito wouldn't have come if he was smart enough, and the same is true for the Tokugawa family, Ergi, it's okay, you need to look at the art of war, and learn from your eldest brother." Liu Hong gradually teased.
After occupying the Iwami Silver Mine in the name of the Tagawa family, the reason why Tokugawa Kamematsu did not send troops to recapture it was not because he was afraid of the Saito coalition army.
Frankly speaking, the two groups of people either come together or they won't come, Liu Hong has gradually become a weight on the scale, and all he has to do is to maintain the current situation.
He still thinks that there are too many people in Dongying, and there are more than 10 million people, which is simply unreasonable.
The population of our Warring States period in China was negative, and even the population of the Three Kingdoms period decreased by more than half, and the Warring States period of this special Dongying fought for nearly a hundred years, and the population did not decrease, not to mention, but increased from more than 8 million to 11 million.
Let's fight, Lao Tzu is developing obscenely in the rear.
"The prince taught me a lesson, but a few days ago, Nishiyama Shoga's money house in Edo was confiscated by the Tokugawa shogunate." Nanazaemon knew that the prince in front of him was bold, so he immediately stopped mentioning the war.
"TNND, this is waiting for revenge!" Liu Hong gradually exclaimed.
This is Liu Hongchuan's egoism, he robbed the Tokugawa family's silver mine, Tokugawa has no silver, of course, he will use local materials, the emperor's reason that the hungry soldiers are common all over the world, which is understandable.
"Is there anyone dead?" Liu Hongjian asked again.
"That's not true, it's just that the money of the money village was robbed, and you weren't there at the time, so I decided to let them all withdraw to Shimane Castle." Nanazaemon reports.
"Well, it's a good job, you can grab it again when the silver is gone, and if your life is gone, there will be nothing." Liu Hong nodded gradually.
Robbing the silver mine is not simply for the sake of silver, the reason why Dongying can play well is not because there is more silver, even if it is turmoil, as long as there is silver, you can buy food from the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch.
What if the money is gone?
Hehe, you can't buy it outside, so you naturally want to grab it!
"Let's step up recruitment!" Liu Hong gradually checked the accounts of the Iwami Silver Mine and said.
Due to the high grade of ore, the output of Iwami Silver Mine is also considerable, this silver mine supports almost half of the silver production of the entire East Asia, and it is more than enough to raise tens of thousands of soldiers, and even feed back to the fathers and villagers of the Ming Dynasty.
"I heard that someone from the Tagawa family is here?" Liu Hong gradually said jokingly.
In the end, the Tagawa family is the number one merchant family in the Nagasaki platoon, and he has built such a large territory with the name of the family, and the Tagawa family, as the back-handed man, will naturally not ask.
In fact, as early as ten days ago, Tagawa Yumatsu, the head of the Tagawa family, came to negotiate with his nephew Nanazaemon with the intention of seeking the right to mine Iwami silver.
Where is Nanazaemon willing to agree, for this greedy grandfather Nanazaemon directly chose to treat it coldly - no.
In fact, it is still Nanazaemon who is too benevolent and righteous, when Liu Hong gradually did not come to Dongying, he was not treated well in Tagawa's house, and he had to come out and do it alone, and now it has become a big deal, and Tagawa's family is here.
Tagawa Yumatsu is over seventy years old and has long abdicated to give way to his grandson Tagawa Ninji, that is, the cousin of Nanazaemon, and the reason why Tagawa Yumatsu is not because of his weight.
Nanazaemon has always read the Confucian sage books, but what every gentleman is most afraid of is the villain, and the villain is most afraid of the scoundrel, which is called the wicked have their own wicked grinding.
That night, Liu Honggradually summoned Tagawa Yumatsu, the specific content was unclear, but early the next morning, Tagawa Yumatsu walked out of Shimane Castle.
Niu Dabang mallet still wondered, and said that yesterday was still a big bang, why did it suddenly wilt today, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Hongji, so he only got a sentence: He is not my grandfather, and he is not used to his stinky problem.
After another two days, Kusakuragi came.
Sakuragi Kumi is a relatively small part of the Saito coalition army, with only about 5,000 soldiers, and it is precisely because of this that he was sent by Saito to such a far place, because the powerful Nishimoto family and Samgi family, Saito also did not understand.
Sakuragi Kurumi is about thirty years old, and his ancestors were once retainers of the Toyotomi family, so he actually has no bottom about this negotiation.
The reason is very simple, negotiation is about knowing oneself and knowing the other, and he doesn't even know what the other party looks like.
Naturally, the nominal daimyo of Nanazaemon was in charge of the reception, but Liu Hongjian was sitting aside, and he glanced at Sakuragi and seemed to remember a familiar name.
"Dare to ask if there is one in your house called Sakuragi Hanamichi?"
Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and Nanazaemon translated truthfully and obediently.
Sakuragi Hisakuri frowned and looked confused, not knowing what the origin of the person in front of him was, and not knowing what this person was doing when he suddenly asked him about the family, he just shook his head.
"Do you have a son?" Liu Hongjian asked again.
Sakuragi shook his head at first, then nodded.
"I suggest your son be called Sakuragi Hanamichi, that's a good name!"
