Chapter 1249: Luzon Envoy
Uemura Hanoi was in a nervous mood, trying his best to manage the establishment of a new imperial court of the Japanese state, Tokyo was Mao Wenlong promised to give Uemura Hanoi as the national capital, he did not break his promise, and a few days later, the Dongjiang Army garrison in Tokyo began to withdraw.
The army that had just been formed by the Wa family then entered the change of defense, and everything went very smoothly, and there were no accidents. Kamimura Hanoi informed all the patriarchs of the family that in the future, the Wa Kingdom would be temporarily under separate control from the Dongjiang Army.
At the beginning of this question, Kamimura Hanoi encountered great resistance, and the heads of the various families were very dissatisfied with the refusal of the Dongjiang army to return to other cities. Some impulsive guys actually began to shout for a fight with the Dongjiang Army, which made Uemura Hanoi very angry and directly angry at these people.
In the end, after he made the pros and cons clear, he told these people to shut up and not dare to shout at will.
After the smooth handover of Tokyo, Uemura Kawachi also began to arrange the office yamen in full swing, and the heads of each family took on different positions according to the strength of each family, and there were great disputes over these matters. It was by no means possible to arrange it in a moment, and Uemura Kawachi began to be busy with his feet on the ground.
Compared with the busyness of the Wa family, the Dongjiang Army is still in peace, and there is no guard against the Wa family at all.
In the Nagasaki Prefecture, Mao Wenlong fulfilled his previous promise to Hong Ziyan's mother and daughter, and spent most of his time with them every day. This made Hong Ziyan feel deeply happy, but as time went by and the parting was approaching, Hong Ziyan began to become decadent again.
The year has come, and the expeditionary army is also running in perfectly, Chen Jisheng lived up to Mao Wenlong's expectations and trained the 70,000 army very well.
Chen Jisheng was reporting to Mao Wenlong in the hall about the preparations of the army, but a guard came in outside the door to report that a messenger from Luzon had come and was waiting outside the mansion now.
The news came so suddenly that Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou frowned and thought deeply. After a while, Hong Chengchou said to Mao Wenlong: "General soldier, Luzon suddenly sent an envoy here, presumably he received some rumors, or we should meet this envoy first and see what purpose they are coming?" ”
Mao Wenlong nodded in agreement, ordered the guards to bring people in, and then waited with peace of mind.
Soon, an old man dressed in brocade clothes came in under the leadership of the guards, and the old man was over the age of six, and his hair was already gray. The face is very delicate, and there are not so many wrinkles.
"The Luzon envoy Li Nan has seen the general soldiers." The old man bowed to Mao Wenlong, who was sitting firmly on the main seat staring at him.
"Ambassador Li came suddenly, I don't know what's important?" The corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth rose slightly, and then said lightly.
I didn't expect Mao Wenlong to be so direct, Li Nan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and replied: "Li Nan came to meet the chief soldier on the order of my king, hoping that the chief soldier can open up to the Luzon State Network." Luzon has never had any grudges with the Ming Dynasty, and has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as the upper dynasty. However, this time, I suddenly heard that the general army was preparing to send a large army to attack my Luzon, and my king was very frightened, and he didn't know that he had offended the previous dynasty, so he sent Li Nan to make peace. ”
Li Nan was refreshed, and he opened his mouth to express his intentions, without making any detours.
Mao Wenlong had been staring at Li Nan all the time, and when he saw that his expression was as usual, not like he was lying, he muttered: "How do you know that this general army is going to move Luzon?" ”
Li Nan hesitated for a moment before replying: "Although the general army is training in the Japanese country, it has been a long time, and it is inevitable that the news will leak out. Maybe the general army still doesn't know that in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, the power of the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division is being praised everywhere. And those pirates are well-informed, and they all have strong ties with each other. The Dongjiang Army Naval Division is their biggest threat, so they must master every move of the Dongjiang Military Naval Division. ”
This explanation is completely reasonable, and Mao Wenlong also woke up after hearing this. The existence of the Dongjiang Navy Division is indeed a serious threat to the survival of pirates at sea at the moment, and it is natural that they will secretly pay attention to the movements of the Dongjiang Army Sailor.
Knowing the reason, Mao Wenlong didn't doubt it anymore, nodded and smiled: "It is true that Luzon has always been a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, but now the sea is not calm, and the Dongjiang Army must ensure that the South China Sea is safe enough." Therefore, it is necessary to control all the subject states at all costs, and if necessary, to have a large army stationed. ”
Li Nan frowned, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said respectfully: "Chief soldier, my king has already explained, if the Dongjiang Army needs it, we can all listen to it, just ask the general soldier not to start a war." ”
The Japanese State was so arrogant and powerful that it was directly suppressed by the Dongjiang Army, not to mention that it was not as good as Luzon of the Japanese State. With the lessons of the past ahead, Luzon did not dare to resist at all, and they only begged Mao Wenlong not to start a war. As for how to cooperate with the Dongjiang Army, they can all make concessions.
Listening to Li Nan's tone, it seems that as long as the Dongjiang Army does not fight a war, Luzon can completely let the Dongjiang Army be at the mercy of the Dongjiang Army unconditionally. With such a good thing, Mao Wenlong began to wonder if Luzon had other scheming. He turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou next to him, who also looked thoughtful.
After a while, I saw Hong Chengchou suddenly speak: "Ambassador Li, I don't know if what you just said includes letting the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division directly stationed in Luzon?" ”
Although Li Nan doesn't know who Hong Chengchou is, since he can speak in front of Mao Wenlong, he must have a lot of status. Li Nan didn't dare to slack off after hearing this, and bowed his hand and said: "Exactly, my king's intention is that as long as the Dongjiang Army does not start a war, anything can be negotiated." ”
Although Mao Wenlong still had some doubts in his heart, he was relieved a lot, and after thinking deeply, he said: "If you can do what you said just now, our Dongjiang Army will naturally not start a war lightly. ”
Li Nan was overjoyed when he heard this, and promised again and again that he would do what he said. After that, Mao Wenlong asked Li Nan to retreat and rest first, and only after the spring of next year did he go on the road with the Dongjiang Army and sailors to Luzon. Li Nan naturally agreed happily, as long as the Dongjiang Army did not attack Luzon, his purpose of coming here had been achieved.
Hong Chengchou waited until Li Nan left, then said with a smile: "General soldier, it seems that Luzon doesn't need to use force, and the general soldier doesn't have to be in such a hurry to go out on the expedition." ”
Mao Wenlong paused, shook his head and said, "Now it's just a one-sided word of the messenger, and we can't fully trust him yet." The plan for the expedition remains unchanged, and it must be set off on time, and there must be no mistakes in this matter. ”
Hong Chengchou hesitated, nodded and didn't say anything more.
