Keiko Yamaguchi stayed in Shimizu Castle for two days, and according to the list that had been drawn up, all the retainers and relatives of Shimazu Naruto who participated in the looting of Matsue Prefecture were arrested, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the relatives of those retainers were implicated.

Since the Ming army had the list of those retainers in their hands, those retainers were left in Qingshui City, and if they left, it was obvious that the Ming army would not agree, and would definitely continue to pursue them.

It was clear that the three kingdoms of the Satsuma clan would not give them any more shelter to prevent the Ming army from continuing to attack, and the daimyo from outside the country did not dare to accept those people, not to mention that the shogunate had already characterized them as pirates, and the huge pressure on them to retreat in the face of the Ming army, which completely annihilated the main force of the Satsuma army at Red Bird Mountain.

As Keiko Yamaguchi had predicted, no one cared about the Ming army's annihilation of the Satsuma army at Mt. Red Bird, and the outside world valued the fact that the Satsuma army was wiped out by the Ming army, which had a great deterrent effect on the daimyo of the Japanese country, especially the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku.

Over the years, the daimyo of Kyushu and Shikoku attacked each other in order to compete for territory, so they all knew the strength of the Satsuma army, and it was the strongest military power of Kyushu and Shikoku.

Perhaps knowing that the fate of being captured and taken to the Ming Dynasty could not be avoided, several retainers of Shimazu Mingyun committed suicide one after another, which couldn't help but make people feel a little embarrassed.

During this time, Keiko Yamaguchi had a secret meeting with Narumi Shimazu, and Saburo Domoto was able to participate as the deputy commander of the Red Wolf Army.

During this meeting, Keiko Yamaguchi and Shimazu Narumi discussed matters related to future cooperation, including the transfer of Lidao County and Izumi County to the Red Wolf Army, how to deal with the Satsuma Army prisoners in the First Battle of Red Bird Mountain, and how the two sides would cooperate militarily and economically in the future.

There are a total of thirteen counties in the three kingdoms of the Satsuma Domain, and the Red Wolf Army occupies two at once, although Shimazu Narumi is a little reluctant in his heart, but for the sake of long-term interests, he can only send these two counties out with both hands, and this is a condition that the two sides have negotiated early on.

For Shimazu Narumi, getting the Satsuma army that was captured in the Battle of Red Bird Mountain is the most important thing, that is the main force of the Satsuma Domain, once lost, the Satsuma Domain will not have the ability to protect itself in the future, and the daimyo of Kyushu and Shikoku will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the Satsuma Domain.

Fortunately, Li Yuntian had no intention of detaining those captives, so Keiko Yamaguchi readily agreed to return those captives to Shimazu Narumi, which made Shimazu Narumi breathe a sigh of relief.

In terms of military and economic cooperation, Yamaguchi Keiko also reached an agreement with Shimazu Narumi, and Yamaguchi agreed that Shimazu Narumi could trade with the Ming through the Guò Red Wolf Army, so that it would not be counted in the share of overseas trade between the Ming and the Wa Kingdom, and promised that the Red Wolf Army would support Shimazu Narumi in the event of an invasion of the Satsuma Domain.

As for whether the other side will participate if the two sides start a war abroad, Keiko Yamaguchi and Shimazu Narumi did not mention it, after all, they are still in a hostile relationship and cannot involve such in-depth military cooperation.

However, Shimazu Narumi was already very satisfied with Keiko Yamaguchi's promise, so that he could relax and deal with the surrounding daimyo with all his might, and he didn't have to worry about other daimyo entering the Satsuma Domain anyway, with the alliance of the Red Wolf Army.

In order to show his respect for Li Yuntian, Shimazu Narumi specially gave Li Yuntian a precious Japanese sword made of stainless steel from the Shimazu family, and the scabbard and handle were inlaid with precious stones, which can be described as priceless.

Li Yuntian smiled after receiving this gift from Shimazu Narumi, and asked Lei Ting to put away the sword, he naturally understood Shimazu Narumi's thoughts, and knew that Shimazu Narumi was an ambitious person who wanted to use the Red Wolf Army to expand his strength.

This is exactly what Li Yuntian wants, if Shimazu Narumi sets off an incident on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, Daming can just take the opportunity to profit from it.

It stands to reason that Li Yuntian has already captured Shimazu Mingyun and the leader of the Japanese who plundered Songjiang Mansion, and the matter in the Japanese country has ended, and he should leave for Daming.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuntian did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the city of Izumi, waiting for the arrival of a person while dealing with the affairs of the Wa Kingdom.

If Li Yuntian guessed correctly, this person would definitely come to him after learning that the main force of the Satsuma army was wiped out by the Ming army in the battle of Red Bird Mountain, and that Shimazu Naruto was going to be brought back to the Ming Dynasty for trial.

"Lord Wang, Aoki Mingxin came to pay a visit." On this morning, when Li Yuntian was discussing with Lei Ting, Keiko Yamaguchi and others at his residence in Shimizu City how to expand outward based in Izumi County, a guard walked in the door and said in a deep voice.

"He finally came, and the king thought he didn't even have the courage to see the king." When Li Yuntian heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, it turned out that the person he was waiting for was Aoki Mingxin.

Aoki Mingxin had previously settled on Hirado Island, Kyushu Island, and then sent his cousin Aoki Mingyi to negotiate terms with Li Yuntian, but as a result, he had a closed door, how could Aoki Mingxin, a pirate leader, negotiate terms with the dignified King of Daming?

Originally, Aoki Akishin was not worried about his own safety, he had been operating on the island of Kyushu in the Japanese country for a long time, and he had close contacts with various forces, helping those forces to engage in sea smuggling activities, so the Ming army could not be said to be beyond his control.

However, Li Yuntian told Aoki Mingxin with practical actions that Aoki Mingxin was not safe on Hirado Island, and as long as he wanted, he could still send troops to Hirado Island like Shimazu Naruto who destroyed the Satsuma Domain, and the daimyo of the shogunate and Kyushu Island would not give him protection in this regard.

In the final analysis, Li Yuntian has already shown strong financial and military strength, no one will provoke Li Yuntian for the sake of Aoki Mingxin, and his final fate will definitely be inferior to Shimazu Mingyun.

In fact, when Li Yuntian recovered Xiaoliuqiu Island and Qiongzhou Island, Aoki Mingxin's influence on Kyushu Island had begun to decline, and the reason why the daimyo of Kyushu Island had befriended him in the past was because Aoki Mingxin had a way to smuggle at sea that could bring them benefits.

Now that Aoki Mingxin's sea smuggling route has been cut off by Li Yuntian, then he is of little value to those daimyos, and when Li Yuntian captures Shimazu Mingyun, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, I am afraid that those Ming will stay away from Aoki Mingxin and avoid it.

Therefore, Aoki Mingxin is in a very dangerous situation now, and his life is in Li Yuntian's hands, if Li Yuntian sends troops to Hirado Island to destroy him when he leaves, then he will want to cry without tears.

There is no need for Li Yuntian to do it at all, as long as the wealthy Li Yuntian offers a price code to Aoki Mingxin, those big names on Kyushu Island will definitely rush to him, and they will send troops to Pingdo Island to arrest him, which can not only get a reward but also appease Li Yuntian.

After all, Aoki Mingxin is different from Shimazu Naruto, Shimazu Narumo is the guardian daimyo of the orthodoxy of the Japanese Kingdom, so the daimyo of Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island will not fall into the well when the Ming army fights with them, but Aoki Mingxin is different, just a pirate who has no value, and those daimyo are eager to attack him and take the opportunity to plunder the wealth accumulated by Aoki Mingxin.

So for Aoki Mingxin, the only choice now is to get Li Yuntian's protection, otherwise he has only a dead end.

If Aoki Mingxin couldn't even see this, or didn't have the courage to come to Deshui City to see him, Li Yuntian felt that there was no need to pay attention to people like Aoki Mingxin, who were destined to be difficult to achieve.

"Sue him, this king is discussing official business, let him wait." Although Li Yuntian was waiting for Aoki Mingxin's arrival, he didn't plan to see Aoki Mingxin immediately, to put it bluntly, who is the prince of the Ming Dynasty who can see him if he wants to?

"Lord Wang, you want to hang him!" When the guard heard this, he bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and walked away quickly, Lei Ting had already guessed Li Yuntian's intentions, so he said with a smile.

"This king has already given him a chance, but he has been watching for a while, and he has to wait until Shimazu Mingyun is captured before rushing over, making it clear that this time he is forced to come, so this king wants to give him a dismount." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, he was going to knock Aoki Mingxin and let Aoki Mingxin really understand his identity and status, so as not to want to bargain with him.

After nightfall, a middle-aged Japanese man in a Japanese costume walked back and forth restlessly in a small room, he was Aoki Akishin, the leader of the Great Japanese Invaders who crossed the sea.

Aoki waited from morning to evening, but no one came to call him to see Li Yuntian, and no one poured him a glass of water to drink, let alone something to eat.

After skipping lunch and dinner in a row, Aoki Mingxin was already a little hungry at this time, and his mood was extremely irritable, he knew that Li Yuntian was deliberately hanging him, and he was obviously dissatisfied with him for not personally pleading guilty.

Aoki Mingxin is also a hero on the sea, and he must have left long ago in the past, but since he came this time, he had to see Li Yuntian no matter what, this was his last chance to ask Li Yuntian for guilt, so he dared to leave, so he could only continue to wait anxiously.

"The prince wants to see you!" It wasn't until the next morning that Aoki Akitomi, who had not slept all night and had red eyes, received the good news when one of the guards entered the door and spoke to him quietly.

Aoki Mingxin suddenly perked up when he heard this, quickly tidied up his clothes, and quickly followed the guard away, his mood became nervous, and he didn't know how Li Yuntian would treat him.

In the small courtyard with an elegant environment, Li Yuntian is practicing the Tai Chi Sword in elegant movements, which he uses to cultivate his self-cultivation just like Tai Chi.

Aoki Mingxin naturally didn't dare to disturb Li Yuntian, so he bowed down and stood aside, patiently waiting for Li Yuntian to finish practicing his sword, and at the same time quietly aimed at a handsome military attache standing on the side.

If Aoki Mingxin is not mistaken, according to the information that Aoki Akiyoshi told him after returning from Ryukyu Island, this handsome military attache is Li Yuntian's personal bodyguard, and he is a woman, who seems to have won Li Yuntian's trust, and the relationship with Li Yuntian is very ambiguous.

Aoki Mingxin naturally didn't know that in his opinion, the handsome military attache who had an ambiguous relationship with Li Yuntian was Lei Ting, the wife of the Zhongwu Palace, who was entitled by the imperial court, and specialized in taking care of Li Yuntian's diet and daily life.
