Chapter 212: May I be the loyal dog of the Far East
"I, Shimazu Tadashi, as the first lord of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, I beg the general to support me, and I, the Satsuma Domain, am willing to attach myself to the Far East and become a retainer of the Far East, and I also ask the general to take it in."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Shimazu Tadashi's words. They didn't expect Shimazu Tadashi to have such an idea.
Gao Jianguo said to the person next to him: "You take him down first." ”
When Shimazu Zhongheng was taken away, Gao Jianguo turned around and looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "If you have any ideas, let's talk about them." ”
Liu Baoguo sneered: "Hmph...... These little devils can't believe it the most. Commander, we can't trust him, they're white-eyed wolves that can't be raised. ”
"Yes, Lao Liu is right, he is saying it nicely now, who knows if their Satsuma Domain has survived this crisis, whether they will turn their faces and deny people in the future, they must not believe him."
"They have a relationship with us, so why should we care if they live or die. They don't give us food, so we take it ourselves. ”
Many people have the same opinion as Liu Baoguo, that is, they can't trust the Japanese. This is also the thinking of most people, who do not have a good impression of the Japanese, or even hate them, so subjectively reject them from the heart.
Gao Jianguo scolded with a smile: "What nonsense, what are we fighting this battle for, it's not to have fun, it's to achieve our strategic intentions." If the Satsuma clan changes to other forces in the future, will it be impossible to fight again, so the Shimazu clan must continue to exist.
It seems that we still beat hard, we just wanted to beat the Shimazu clan to a cripple, but I didn't expect them to fight so hard. Tadashi Shimazu probably didn't lie. If we leave, the shogunate will never let them go, and then the situation in the Satsuma domain will become extremely complicated, and it will also involve a lot of energy. ”
Zhou Cheng also said: "Japan believes in cynical philosophy, and the most prominent expression is humility and hypocrisy, bullying the weak, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, once the opponent is completely defeated, it will lose its fighting spirit and immediately fall to the ground." Respect your opponent as the Emperor.
The United States bombed Tokyo with incendiary bombs. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians were burned alive, and two atomic bombs were used to flatten the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A Plaza Accord has wiped out decades of Japan's efforts, but Japan is not yet looking at the United States as a godfather.
More than 600,000 Japanese prisoners of war captured by the former Soviet Union. Coming back alive all say that Siberia is hell. Even now they are still afraid of Russia in their bones. Now Russia still occupies their four northern islands. They didn't dare to do anything but protest and protest. On the contrary, we chirp crookedly every day for the Diaoyu Islands. So the Japanese slaves are dogs! Whoever beats it hurts is its owner! ”
Everyone laughed at his words. Isn't that what it's all about? In those years, they carried out massacres in Nanjing, carried out murder competitions, engaged in "three lights" in North China, burned, killed, and tortured everywhere, and did all kinds of evil, bringing profound disasters to the Chinese people. However, after the war, we gave up our war claims against Japan and treated those Japanese war criminals who killed people like hemp, demonstrating our nation's tolerance everywhere and blindly "repaying grievances with virtue."
But what about the result, hehe......
No wonder the Americans say that they should treat the Japanese as animals, and only then will they fear you, and as long as you defeat him and beat him to his heart's content, he can call his wife and daughter to sleep with you.
Gao Jianguo also nodded and said: "Japan is this kind of national habit, once he is subdued, he will obediently call Dad!" Lao Tzu taught his son, how could the son hate Lao Tzu. Ha ha...... Then we should be back to our father now and accept the good son of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain. ”
Liu Baoguo said angrily: "This father, which of you wants to be whom, I don't want to be this father, I am still willing to lead a dog, and if he is not pleasing to the eye, I will kick him." His words once again made the room laugh.
Gao Jianguo waited for everyone to laugh, and then said solemnly: "Whether it is a son or a dog, this is not important." Once we have the allegiance of the Satsuma Domain, it will definitely do more good than harm to our Far East, and it will be much easier for us to do whatever we want in Japan in the future. Tanegashima will be ours from now on, as our company's base in Japan. ”
After some research, they decided to accept the allegiance of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, after all, the current stability of the Satsuma Domain was in the interests of the Far Eastern Company. In the future, when the company wants to plot against Japan, it also needs a loyal vicious dog to lead the way.
Gao Jianguo sent everyone else away, and then asked people to go to Shimazu Tadashi's tent to bring him over. At this time, Shimazu Tadashi was anxiously waiting.
Now he is very worried, if the other party does not agree, then the end of the Satsuma domain will be very tragic. The shogunate and the surrounding feudal clans would join in the partition of Satsuma, and the Shimazu clan would be completely marginalized and dissipated into the long river of history over time.
Only when the Far East supported their Shimazu clan could the Satsuma clan continue to survive. This battle made Shimazu Tadashi deeply appreciate the strength of the Far East. The bravery of the Satsuma man was simply vulnerable in the face of the powerful firearms of the Far East.
Even the powerful Tokugawa shogunate, in the face of the powerful Far East, was also the end of annihilation. Perhaps in the future, the whole world will be the territory of the Far East.
As long as the Shimazu family becomes a vassal of the Far East, they will surely become a powerful vassal of Japan in the future, and they may even become the lord of Japan. Thinking of this, Shimazu Tadashi's heart suddenly became hot.
But whether the Far East can take in their Shimazu family is still unknown, after all, such a powerful force will never lack loyal dogs. The more Shimazu thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he walked restlessly in the tent.
Finally, he was led to Gao Jianguo's tent, and Shimazu Tadashi was extremely nervous. When he saw Gao Jianguo again, there were only Gao Jianguo and a Japanese translator in the tent, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Gao Jianguo.
Gao Jianguo looked at Shimazu Zhongheng coldly, and he could see from his face that the other party was very nervous now. Like a criminal standing in the dock waiting for the verdict to be pronounced, full of apprehension and uneasiness.
"What is lacking in the Satsuma Domain now?"
Shimazu Tadashi was stunned by Gao Jianguo's question, but the surprise that followed. Got him excited. He hurriedly replied respectfully, "Silver, what the Satsuma Domain lacks the most is silver. ”
Gao Jianguo is so angry in his heart, you are so direct. He said coldly: "We have destroyed so many of your samurai, and you don't even have soldiers now, even if you have silver, can you hold Satsuma?" ”
Shimazu Tadashi straightened his chest and said confidently: "Our Shimazu family has never lacked loyal samurai, but the Shimazu family was punished for losing to the Tokugawa family in the Battle of Sekigahara. Although the name of the family has not been canceled. However, a lot of land was confiscated, and only Satsuma Province and a small number of Osumi Province were left in the barren territory.
A large number of samurai were established during the unification of Kyushu by the Shimazu family, and they lost their land as a result. We can't throw it away. So these feudal lords are in vain. It is also a major problem in the finances of our Satsuma Domain.
There was no shortage of samurai in Satsuma, and they were all samurai who swore allegiance to our Shimazu family. Although we Satsuma lost a large number of samurai Ashigaru after this battle, as long as our Shimazu family called. There will be countless Satsuma samurai who will come to pay their allegiance. ”
Tadashi Shimazu's words. Gao Jianguo was dumbfounded. Nima. We have worked hard to destroy so many of you, and we have helped you a lot.
No wonder. The overlord of Kyushu back then, as a powerful prince in the past, was reduced to a country man who was discriminated against because of the defeat in the Battle of Sekigahara. Not only did they lose the glory of the year. has also been repeatedly suppressed, and the turtle has cowered in this bitter place to survive.
Eventually, the Satsuma clan became the first of the four great feudal clans of the Shogunate movement at the end of the shogunate, and the shogunate established by the Tokugawa clan was eventually destroyed by the Shimazu clan.
It's really a little strong who can't be killed, no wonder the shogunate has always been wary of the Shimazu family. With such hob meat, no one can sleep if they are replaced. It seems that the strategy of supporting the Shimazu clan is really a good choice, at least it is not a Adou who can't be supported in the future.
Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "How much silver do you need?" ”
Shimazu Tadashi thought for a while, and then said carefully: "At least 80,000 taels, it's really not good, 350,000 taels can be maintained temporarily, recruiting samurai, compensating for the dead and wounded, and maintaining financial ......."
When Gao Jianguo heard this, he almost didn't laugh, eighty thousand taels...... This time, they plundered the merchants along the coast of Satsuma, and the silver added up to at least a hundred thousand taels. The most important thing in Japan is silver, but looking at Shimazu Tadashi's appearance just now, he still said it ruthlessly.
The last thing that is lacking in the Far East is silver, and the amount of silver seized in the two raids at Sakai Port and Manila alone can be described as astronomical.
He didn't listen to Shimazu's words at all, but he just felt that the Satsuma Domain was really having a hard time, and the Satsuma Domain was basically on the verge of bankruptcy for two hundred years during the Edo period, and it had been relying on borrowing money from merchants to survive. Years of shyness and geographical remoteness have made them live on their stomachs.
Gao Jianguo didn't wait for Shimazu Tadashi to finish speaking, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"I don't want to hear about these things, you have to make up your own mind about the affairs of the Satsuma Domain, I just want to ask you, I gave you silver, can you keep Satsuma."
Shimazu Tadashi bowed again, but this time he didn't look up.
"As long as the main family can take in our Shimazu family, even if the shogunate gathers a large army to attack, we will dare to fight against it. The last thing we lack in Satsuma is the bravery of the samurai. ”
Gao Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, if the Satsuma Domain had the support of the Far East and survived the current financial difficulties, the shogunate really couldn't do anything about him. The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and Satsuma is in this state now.
"I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver first, and you can take it to the emergency first. We will support you in other areas in the future. You only need to be faithful to one thing, or you will be destroyed in a matter of time. ”
Shimazu Tadashi suddenly had a feeling of being hit by happiness, he quickly knelt down respectfully, buried his head on the ground in the manner of a retainer, and said loudly: "The Shimazu family is willing to be the loyal dog of the Far East." (To be continued......)
