"Lord Wang, I only found out about this matter after the attack on Ningbo City, Aoki Mingxin and Yamakai Mitsutaka were shocked by this, and they are sending people to investigate, it seems to be related to the forces in Japan."

Li Yuntian asked about the Ningbo City Bo Division, and the faces of the three of them suddenly became a little ugly, and after glancing at each other, the scar-faced Japanese robbers bowed to Li Yuntian with an embarrassed expression, and said in a deep voice.

For Aoki Mingxin and Shanhai Mitsutaka, it is a stupid act to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty head-on, especially to rob the Ningbo City Boshi who has a background in martial arts.

The Ming Dynasty not only reaped huge profits from the overseas trade of the South Seas, but also showed a strong maritime military strength, which made Aoki Mingxin and Shan Hai Mitsutaka very jealous, and the two knew very well that the maritime military power of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian was the chief instructor of the martial arts hall, and if they provoked Ningbo City, it would definitely attract Li Yuntian's anger.

As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, Li Yuntian has fought in the south and the north over the years, and has successively quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhi, defeated the southern invasion of the Northern Yuan, and wiped out the corrupt officials in the two Huai Salt Roads, which is enough to show awe-inspiring strength.

Although Aoki Mingxin and Yamakai Mitsutaka are heroes galloping above the sea, they know that they can't compete with Li Yuntian, otherwise they will inevitably attract the Ming Dynasty's purge, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Most importantly, although the overseas trade between the Ming and Nanyang affected maritime smuggling, the two sides soon reached a balance of interests.

After all, the market of the Ming Dynasty is too big, and the biennial overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty cannot fully meet the needs of all markets, plus the cost of smuggling is much lower than that of the Ming Dynasty, and there are no tariffs, as long as they keep the price down, they can always ship smoothly, and even then they can make a lot of money from it.

Compared with the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, the scale of smuggling of the Japanese was much smaller, so it could not form a strong impact on the market price, and the price of overseas trade goods was still controlled by Jiangwutang.

For those pirates engaged in smuggling, due to the storage of overseas trade in the Ming Dynasty, the goods that they could only sell secretly in the Ming market can now be sold openly, and the government's energy is much less focused on those items of overseas trade, which is a good thing in this regard.

Obviously, because the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was escorted by many sailors and ships every time, it was impossible to destroy the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, whether it is Aoki Mingxin or Yamakai Mitsutaka, neither of them wants to break the current situation of coexistence between Ming overseas trade and Japanese smuggling at sea, and they both want to make money in peace and stability.

After the accident in Ningbo City, Aoki Akishin and Yamakai Mitsutaka and other Japanese leaders were extremely shocked, and they all thought that the other party had done this at first, but later found out that it had nothing to do with the other party, because the other party had no motive and no sign of mobilizing manpower.

However, since Aoki Akishin and Yamakai Mitsutaka have been able to get to this point, it is naturally not simple, and the two of them are keenly aware that if it is not for the two of them, then it must have something to do with those daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and no one else has the ability to mobilize so many ships and manpower.

Therefore, the two of them have investigated in the Wa Kingdom through various channels, wanting to find out which of the Daimyo of the Wa Kingdom mobilized troops and ships on a large scale when Ningbo City was attacked, and tracked down the goods circulating in the Wa Market.

The most fundamental reason why Aoki Mingxin and Yamami Mitsutaka left Xiaoliuqiu Island was to avoid the possible retaliation of the Ming army's sailors, although the Ming court has always adopted a defensive strategy, but the two know very well that Li Yuntian, who provoked this time, is different from those civil and military officials in the court, and will definitely not suffer this loss, and if they are not sure, they will be counted on their heads.

Therefore, the two felt that it was imperative to find out the cause of the incident as much as possible, find out the name who participated in the attack on Ningbo City, and direct Li Yuntian's anger to Japan.

"This king will find out about this matter, and I hope what you say is true."

Li Yuntian had long known that he couldn't ask what the result was, if Aoki Mingxin and Shanhai Mitsutaka knew who was involved in the Ningbo City Boshi matter, they would definitely try to publicize it in order to avoid retaliation from the Ming Dynasty, so he groaned for a while, and said to the three leaders of the scar-faced Japanese Kou with a blank face, "This king has already given you a chance to reform your ways, if you don't know how to be rare and still attack my coastal prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, then this king will have to severely punish you and others." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The three leaders of the Scar-Faced Woko hurriedly touched their heads to the ground and replied in fear.

"Li Huwei, you have surrendered these Japanese robbers this time, so that our army has avoided the suffering of the sword, and this king will definitely give you a credit." Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, then turned to Keiko Yamaguchi and said quietly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Keiko Yamaguchi thanked Li Yuntian with his hand, then knelt on the ground with her legs bent, and said to Li Yuntian in a coquettish voice, "Lord Wang, I have something to ask for, and I hope that the prince will approve it!" ”

"What?" Li Yuntian knew what Keiko Yamaguchi wanted to say, and asked quietly.

"Lord Yu, the humble position is a Japanese national clan, when he was a child, the family suffered drastic changes, his parents and brothers and other relatives were killed by traitors, it was a loyal servant in the family who risked death to save the humble duty, and the humble duty once made an oath to the gods, and he must avenge his family, otherwise he will have no shame to face the dead relatives."

Keiko Yamaguchi raised her head, her eyes showed a look of grief and indignation, and she said solemnly to Li Yuntian, "I beg the prince to hand over these surrendered Japanese robbers to the lowly office, and the lowly duty is ready to take them back to Japan to seek revenge on the enemy, and the lowly family of Zhongxing." ”

The military attaches present couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they heard this, they didn't know the details of Keiko Yamaguchi at all, and now Keiko Yamaguchi personally admitted that she was a Japanese with a deep hatred of blood, and she wanted to take away those who surrendered, which really shocked everyone.

"You've made up your mind?" Li Yuntian stared at Keiko Yamaguchi for a while, and then asked in a deep voice.

"If you can't avenge your parents and relatives, you can't sleep at night, and you still hope that the prince will be fulfilled." Keiko Yamaguchi nodded solemnly and replied in a coquettish voice.

"This king once said that you can leave at any time, and now that you want to return to China to take revenge, then this king naturally can't force you to stay."

Li Yuntian pondered for a while, looked at Keiko Yamaguchi and said in a deep voice, "How do you say that you are also a person who went out of the martial arts, and now that the people are weak, they can't afford to return to China for revenge, according to the king, it is better to stay on this small Liuqiu Island for the time being to rectify military and political affairs, set up an administrative and military yamen, and then return to China for revenge when the time is ripe." ”

"Obedience!" Hearing this, Keiko Yamaguchi bowed to Li Yuntian and agreed.

In fact, Keiko Yamaguchi had already told Li Yuntian about leaving today, and Li Yuntian knew that she was eager for revenge, but with Keiko Yamaguchi's current strength, she couldn't return to China to take revenge, and these newly subdued would-be wouldn't be able to really obey her.

Besides, Keiko Yamaguchi is not just as simple as revenge, she also wants to restore the former glory of the family, so after revenge, she will definitely have to face the military and political affairs in the territory, so at this time she must learn to start managing the government, otherwise how to govern the territory in the future?

Keiko Yamaguchi knew that Li Yuntian was thinking about her, so she naturally agreed to Li Yuntian's suggestion, and planned to use Xiaoliuqiu Island as a base to reorganize the Japanese pirates on Xiaoliuqiu Island, Qiongzhou Island, and Daliuqiu Island, and establish a mature military and political system before starting her great cause of revenge.

As the foundation of revenge, Yamaguchi Keiko first has to face how to obtain military salaries and military supplies, the people on Xiaoliuqiu Island live in hardship, plus this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, she can't collect taxes, and she can't let those Japanese robbers go to the coastal prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty to loot as before, so they must rely on Li Yuntian to solve the supply problem, only by letting those Japanese robbers eat enough that they will not make trouble, and can they obediently obey Yamaguchi Keiko's orders.

Li Yuntian decided to ask the Lecture Hall to allocate a sum of money to Keiko Yamaguchi for military expenses, so as to ensure that those Japanese can stay honestly.

To tell the truth, although Li Yuntian doesn't look down on the Japanese Invaders, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Japanese Invaders are far superior to the Ming Dynasty's guard troops, and if those Japanese Bandits can be integrated under the command of Yamaguchi Keiko, then they will definitely be able to help Yamaguchi Keiko take revenge.

Because Keiko Yamaguchi has to rely on Jiangwutang logistically, this is destined to make her and Jiangwutang rely on each other's close relationship, and Keiko Yamaguchi's Ming mark can no longer get rid of it, which is exactly what Li Yuntian wants to see, he doesn't want to meet Keiko Yamaguchi on the battlefield in the future.

Besides, after Yamaguchi Keiko's revenge is successful, he will first have to face the attack of those daimyo who want to fish in troubled waters, if Daming stands behind Keiko Yamaguchi, to be specific, it is the lecture martial arts hall that controls the Daming Water Division to support Keiko Yamaguchi, then those daimyo will not dare to act rashly.

After Yamaguchi Keiko asked Li Yuntian to resign, Li Yuntian dismissed her from her official position in the lecture hall, and Yamaguchi Keiko wrote to Li Yuntian in the name of those who had belonged to the lords of the Japanese Kou, asking them to be temporarily resettled on Xiaoliuqiu Island.

Although Li Yuntian asked Keiko Yamaguchi to stay, Keiko Yamaguchi's current identity is already a native of the Japanese country, so he naturally has to deal with this matter in accordance with the official procedures.

Li Yuntian accepted Keiko Yamaguchi's request to ask the military attache of the Ming Army's naval division to assist in the resettlement of the Japanese invaders, solve the problems of housing and supplies, and register their identities one by one.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Ming Army's naval division also began to carry the materials on the transport ship to the wharf, and then find a place to store them, which made the wharf a busy scene, in order to stabilize the situation on Xiaoliuqiu Island, the island will be stationed Xiaowu Army, these materials are prepared to accommodate the future Xiaowu Army.

As night fell, the noisy docks gradually quieted down, and the moonlight poured silently on the quiet harbor, and no one would have thought that during the day there was a sea battle that killed thousands of pirates.
