40 Daimyo's decision
Happily or disappointed, the Japanese envoys returned to Kagoshima in Satsuma and reported their gains to their daimyo Shimazu Iehisa.
As a criminal minister, Hisataka Kayama also appeared in Shimazu Iehisa's mansion after a long absence, which is also one of the few times since his defeat to be summoned by Shimazu Iehisa.
"General Kayama Hisada, your strategy doesn't seem to be successful, and the Zhao'an you mentioned doesn't seem to be very attractive to those pirates!" In the residence of the Shimazu Daimyo, a fat man with a merchant air sneered at Kayama Hidaka, who was sitting precariously below.
The rich man who spoke, named Liver Fu Liangyou, was a minister in the same hall as Kayama Hisataka, but because of the defeat of Kayama Hisataka, Liver Fu Yoshiyo suffered heavy losses, and his family's deep investment in Amami Goshima was all lost, so he was angry with Kayama Hidaka.
"Ahem, Lord Liver Fu's words are still biased, although the proposal put forward by General Huashan has had little effect, but it has also attracted a lot of manpower, including a group of nearly 3,000 Haikou forces, this alone is not in vain for us to carry out this plan!" There is still someone who stands up, and that is Haneda Kuji, who is good friends with the Hisataka family of Kayama.
In fact, Huashan Jiuda also knows in his heart that the chance of Zhao'an pirates is not great, after all, the Ryukyu Sea can still be impressed by their Samosa, and it has already been wiped out by Huashan Jiuda, and the Yellow Sea pirates are too wide and far away from Satsuma, so they are not very attractive to pirates who are not very obedient.
Moreover, to be honest, they are only one of the dozens of famous people in the Wa Kingdom, and many Yellow Sea pirates may not even have heard of their existence, so how can they rashly accept Samosa's recruitment!
The reason for this suggestion is that Hisataka Kayama also hopes to re-enter the eyes of Shimazu Iehisa. Hisashi Kayama himself is already old, and the gains and losses don't mean much to him, but there is a family behind him that needs his support, and he can't let the whole family be ashamed because of his loss, so he will be excluded from Shimazu Daimyo from now on!
I didn't think about it, I was just thinking about hitting a shit luck, and there were really people who accepted the invitation they sent to send an envoy, and this scale is not ordinarily powerful, and it is even on a par with the most important naval warfare among the many daimyo of the Wa Kingdom today.
With the addition of such a fleet, and the Shimazu family organizing another fleet of ships, it would be possible to defeat the fleet deployed by Kodo in the Ryukyu Seas.
It's just that Kayama Hisataka is worried about one thing, that is, the Shimazu daimyo will not accept the conditions proposed by Yuan Laoba, let such a group of powerful helpers wander out of his control, and also give food, money and other financial support, which is probably not something that an ambitious daimyo is willing to accept.
"Lord, this group of pirates named Yuan Laoba is also very familiar with their subordinates, they used to be the most powerful and largest pirates in the South China Sea, but they were eventually defeated and replaced by Hong Tang, so the hatred between them and Hong Tang is no worse than ours." In order to impress Shimazu Iehisa, Kayama Hisataka told what he knew, fortunately, at the beginning, Yuan Laoba and his gang of pirates were clamoring, although they were far away from Amami Goshima, but the news of their defeat still reached the ears of Kayama Hidaka, and the information was quite detailed.
"So what, the other party is not at our disposal, and he still has to get benefits from us, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" Liver Fu Liangyou had a contemptuous expression, and he was very optimistic about this transaction.
"Don't forget what our biggest trouble is at the moment, don't you want to take Amami Goto back into your hands?" Haneda Kuji reminded Liver Fu Liangyou on the side, although he didn't say anything explicitly, but the meaning made Liver Fu Liangyou's eyes jump, and he peeked at the Shimazu Iehisa Daimyo who was sitting in the head of the head, and saw that he didn't have any expression, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The investment in the development of Amami Goto is something that the Liver Fu family did behind the back of the Shimazu family daimyo Shimazu Ieku, and the people of the Liver Fu family on Amami Goshima forcibly seized and did a lot of dirty things to lay a foundation, which is also an important reason why their family resents Kayama Hidaka.
The foundation that took too much money and risk was obtained by outsiders in an instant, and the huge losses of the liver payment family were too great, and it can almost be said that it was painful!
However, after being reminded by Haneda Hisaharu, between resentment and wealth, Liver Fu Liangyu finally closed his tricky tongue and chose wealth, and after all, the battle of words could not recover their family's losses.
"Let people reply to Yuan Laoba, and say that I agreed to their request!" Shimazu Iehisa, who was in the upper seat, knelt on the tatami mat and said that he had to decide.
"............" was silent, still silent, even Kayama Hidaka, who was happy to see this thing, didn't expect that the lord Shimazu Iejiu was so generous, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of bargaining.
"You may not know that my son Shimazu Hisao has been defeated, and the team we have managed to assemble has been defeated by such a group of folk pirates and the like, don't you feel ashamed?" Shimazu Iehisa suddenly made a mistake and told the generals present a bombshell news.
Hearing this, Hisashi Kayama and others looked sideways, Shimazu Hisao was sent by the lord of Shimazu Iehisa to attack Amami Goshima is something that the ministers here know. As one of the few generals in Satsuma who has the name of a wise general, although everyone may not be optimistic about Shimazu Hisao's operation, after all, the aid and team given to Shimazu Hisao in Satsuma this time are actually not too much, most of them are pirates who have recruited security these days, so they are not optimistic about the actual combat strength of this team.
But what they didn't expect was that Shimazu Hisao, who was known as a wise general, would come with the news of defeat so quickly.
After hearing the news, the ministers present thought about it carefully, and they could also think of why the lord of the Shimazu family so neatly accepted the request of Yuan Laoba's group of pirates.
"The subordinates are incompetent!" The ministers knelt down one after another and confessed their guilt.
"Forget it, the fault of this battle is not that you are incompetent and unfavorable in battle, but that my Kagoshima sailors are weak and unable to resist Hongtang's powerful offensive from the sea, if not, I Tang Tang Kagoshima and tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the land of Sanzhou, but I can do nothing about a group of pirates!" Although Shimazu Iehisa was angry, he did not mean to anger the ministers present.
