201 Shogunate Sailor
Lu Yu is stalling for time, and Satsuma is not stalling for time!
During the meeting, Nyomi Ringoro wisely knocked on the side of Hongmen's intention of attacking Samoban, and what they wanted to achieve.
As for Lu Yu, they tried their best to maintain a cold and calm attitude, holding on as if they had no comment, and continued to put pressure on Satsuma according to the plan they had predetermined with Li Tianyang.
The first meeting ended like this, and there seemed to be no progress between the two sides, but both sides actually had their own gains.
Hongmen did not give up the riotous attack on Satsuma because of the arrival of the Samoto envoy, but did whatever he had to do as always, which surprised and unreasonable even the elbow who returned to Samosa.
Soon, the second meeting and meeting started at sea again, and the object was still Nyomi Ringoro, but this time Elbow had the basis of the last time, but the voice had already revealed that he wanted Hongmen to temporarily stop harassing Samosa, and at the same time wanted everyone to sit down and talk about the conditions.
Lu Lu was there as always, neither expressing his position nor rejecting the other party's talk, anyway, it was an attitude that I was just carrying out orders, which made the cunning elbow Rengoro feel very tricky.
After repeated times, it was not until the fifth meeting that Lu Lu finally made some statements, revealing a little intention of giving up harassment, which made the negotiators such as Ningoro Tsumi breathe a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid that the lion will open his mouth when you negotiate, and I'm afraid that you won't pick up your own stubble at all like before, so that you can't find a reason to continue talking.
Now that Lü Kui finally had the attitude to continue talking, Elbow immediately made an extremely sincere request to Lv Kui to temporarily stop harassing and attacking the Satsuma capital.
Hongmen was so ruthless that not a single sea ship was put into Satsuma, which caused the prices of many luxury goods in the domain to skyrocket, and the lives of the nobles deteriorated sharply.
At first, Shimazu Tadashi was still a little unwilling to negotiate peace, but now he is hoping that the negotiations can make progress and ease the situation of his own passive beating.
At the same time, he also sent people to continue to urge Edo, so that the envoy who went to seek help from the Edo shogunate could make more efforts to quickly move the Edo shogunate, and now the Edo shogunate can have the strength to deter the Hongmen people at sea.
Even if you bow your head to the people of the Edo Tokugawa family, it is always much more decent than being bullied by a group of folk gangs to the point that you can't go to sea.
The negotiations at sea continued, and Lu Yu finally threw his initial demands to Nyomi Ringoro, who saw Hongmen's negotiation conditions with a lion's mouth, and his first reaction was to feel incredible and absurd, obviously his own Samoto was the victim, but in Hongmen's statement, everything was their Samosa's fault.
That's all there is to it, after all, it's just trivial things that have nothing to do with the overall situation, but then Hongmen proposed to ask for the exclusive right to operate the output of Satsuma, to ask Satsuma to compensate Hongmen for the losses of the Ryukyu Kingdom in recent years, and to ask Satsuma to sign an unfair treaty that no longer peeps into the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Of course, all this is only the draft given by Hongmen, and then the experienced Elbow Ingoro needs to show his housekeeping skills and start negotiations with Hongmen to see how far this treaty can be cut.
Elbow is very sincere, at least in the eyes of Lu Qi and the rough men, every condition proposed by Hongmen, Elbow can negotiate with Hongmen for a morning or afternoon; There were even some treaties that had been negotiated, but Rengoro turned his head and brought them up again, wanting to get the most out of Samosa.
Lu Lu is not in a hurry, anyway, it is a seller's market now, and after Satsuma has no naval fleet to defend their hometown, they have no initiative on the table, so in the end, Hongmen always dreams of getting an ideal result.
The more Nygoro is so stubborn, the more it proves that they are more sincere in negotiations, and Lu Yu has this confidence.
However, soon, Lü Que could not laugh anymore, and when Satsuma had dragged on for ten days with negotiations, when Lü Que and the others began to get bored, suddenly the warships sent by the Hongmen Expeditionary Fleet to the northern seas hurried back, saying that in the northern seas, a fleet of more than 20 warships had appeared.
While giving the order for an all-arms war, Lu Kui was still wondering in his heart, where did this character come from, coming to join in the fun at this time, isn't it pure to block Hongmen?
Lu Yu is trying to lead the team to dismount this group of unexpected visitors, if they are just passing by, it's okay, everything is not to mention, if they are innocent to come to Hongmen uncomfortable, then I'm sorry, don't look at the Hongmen Expeditionary Fleet now only has these dozen or so warships, to deal with only twenty or so warships, it is really a piece of cake.
The idea is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, Lu Lu is murderous and blocks the way of others, but in the end, when he knows that people are indeed here to support Samosa, he has to coax up.
Whoever let this fleet fly the flag of the Edo Tokugawa Shogunate, representing the will of the Tokugawa Shogunate, as a high-ranking Hongmen, Lu Yu naturally understood the difference between a Satsuma and the entire Wa Kingdom.
Hongmen can bully Satsuma and do evil on the territory of Samosa, but when the people of the Tokugawa Shogunate come forward, he really doesn't dare to offend the people of the Tokugawa Shogunate easily.
It is not an opponent of the magnitude at all, even if Hongmen has completed the unification of the entire South China Sea at this time and has become a veritable hegemon in the sea area of thousands of miles, but in front of the behind-the-scenes leader of the entire Wa State, he is still only a three- or four-year-old child.
At this time, Lu Kui realized that the Samoto negotiators were fighting for every minute at the negotiation table, and they were acting with them, delaying time to negotiate with the people of the Edo Tokugawa Shogunate, and seeking the assistance of the Edo Shogunate!
This is not at all what their Hongmen think tank expected, even if the Hongmen bullied and bullied them Samosa, but after all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and what they ultimately want is to reach a consensus that Samoto will no longer target the Hongmen and the Ryukyu Kingdom, so that they Hongmen can take time out and concentrate on developing their own foundation.
However, Satsuma bowed to the Edo Shogunate, which meant that they moved closer to the Edo Shogunate and began to accept the arrangement and domination of the other party, at least on the surface.
With the temperament of the Edo shogunate, with such a good opportunity, they will inevitably plant a lot of chess pieces in Satsuma, and seek a lot of benefits before sending troops.
Comparing the two, it is clear which is better and which is inferior, but Samoto unexpectedly chose the stupidest path.
