There are warm and humid air currents brought by the Kurosui Ocean, and the winter in Kagoshima is also humid and warm. Compared to the extreme cold on the Goryeo Peninsula, winter in Kagoshima is heaven and earth.

Kagoshima is located at the southern tip of Kyushu Island, and six or seven hundred years ago, maritime merchants from Meishu and Jin'an came to Kagoshima to trade with the Fuso people. There were several times when piracy was strong in the East China Sea, and Kagoshima was also used as a rear base.

For hundreds of years, people from the Central Plains have moved to Kagoshima; There are also many pirates who want to wash their hands and settle in Kagoshima, creating a complex living environment in Kagoshima. Even though the Osumi Taira clan has always strengthened its control over Kagoshima, Kagoshima has been inextricably linked with the Tokai Koko forces for decades, and it has never been completely severed.

After the luxury family controlled most of Zhejiang and Fujian, Kago'er County naturally became the area where the luxury family had the deepest influence on Kyushu Island.

Even if the luxury family did not have the heart to develop a water battalion force with cross-sea combat capabilities, they would not underestimate the huge profits that maritime trade could bring to the luxury family, and they never gave up strengthening their influence and penetration in Kagoshima.

Since the Fuso feudal states still nominally recognized Dazaifu's rule over the Fuso Islands, and Fuso regarded the Dai-Yue Dynasty as the suzerain-owned government, and the luxury family was the rebel army of the Dai-Yue Dynasty, the collusion and reconciliation between the Fuso feudal forces such as the Osumi Taira clan and the luxury family naturally could not be brought to the table, and it had been carried out in secret all along.

The Saga clan ceded Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto to the Huaidong Army for temporary supervision in exchange for reconciliation of the assassination, and news spread throughout Kyushu Island before February of the 12th year of the reign of Chongkan.

Kagoshima is rainy in winter, Qin Zitan is wearing wooden shoes, standing under the eaves, looking at the rain pillars pouring down in the heavenly court, his heart is full of helpless sighs.

At this moment, Hu Cong pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard, knocked the outside in, and saw Qin Zitan standing under the eaves of the porch to watch the rain, and said, "Second son, please come over!" ”

Qin Zitan sighed lightly in his heart, took the oil-paper umbrella, stepped on the pebble-paved path, and walked towards the front yard.

Extravagant Feihu was barefoot, walking around on the straw mat floor anxiously, and when he saw Qin Zitan coming, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Look at your good plan!" ”

"Although Huaidong forcibly occupied Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto from the Saga clan, it may not be a blessing!" Qin Zitan said softly.

It was impossible for the Huaidong Army to directly send troops to attack the mainland of Goryeo, and it was the best strategy to trap Zhen, the governor of Haiyang County, on Danluo Island to encircle and reinforce. Goryeo's build-up of troops in Haeyang County could not be done in a day or two, and it was not difficult to predict that Lin Jian would take advantage of this gap to gather troops to fight the Shin He-myeong Division, who had participated in the attack on Jeju Sai.

The assassination of Fujiang Island was indeed done by Qin Zitan at the instigation of the Osumi Taira clan.

"Huaidong easily got three enclaves, why is it not a good thing?" Fei Fei Hu asked.

As far as Luxury Feihu is concerned, although he lost in the Shengsi Battles, it also made his vision more focused on the sea, making him the main figure within the luxury family to support the development of maritime power.

It's a pity that after the defeat of the Shengsi battles, the prestige and power of the luxury tiger, who had to bear most of the responsibility, plummeted within the luxury family, making him directly lose the possibility of competing with the luxury flying bear for the right to inherit.

Extravagant Feihu has been dormant in Jin'an for a period of time, even if he enjoys wealth and nobility, his authority has been greatly reduced, and he has no possibility of leading the military power all the way.

It is the main force of the water camp of the luxury family, and it is mainly concentrated in the Mingzhou Mansion in eastern Zhejiang, which is under the jurisdiction of the governor of eastern Zhejiang.

Huaidong borrowed land on Danluo Island to build Jeju Fortress to open up the route between Chongzhou and Jeju, and sea trade was also a source of luxury to raise the army, and Kyushu, Honshu and other vassal forces liaison, suppressing the infiltration of Huaidong's forces into the Haidong region, was naturally willing to do so.

The more important purpose of the extravagant flying tiger coming to Kagoshima was to go to Goryeo to make a secret alliance with the Donghu people, but the direct route from Kagoshima to Goryeo was controlled by the Huaidong Army's naval warships.

Staying in Kagoshima for the time being, he planned to go east, borrowing from Honshu Island in the east, to Goryeo, where he met with Nakh Xiongqi, the envoy of Donghu.

The extravagant flying tiger came to Kagoshima, and the itinerary was so dense that even the Taira clan did not inform it. He stayed in Kagoshima to see a good outcome for the assassination. Unexpectedly, after waiting for nearly ten days, it was such a result, so that he could treat it calmly?

Of course, Qin Zitan didn't expect the twelve dead soldiers to sneak into Fujiang Island to really succeed, he just wanted to muddy the waters through assassination, so that the Huaidong Army and the Saga clan and other Kyushu Island vassal forces were opposed; The confrontation between the Taira clan and the Saga clan has also been nearly a hundred years, and it is also the willingness of the Taira clan to provoke the confrontation between the Huaidong Army and the Saga clan.

It's just that no one thought that the assassination incident would end with the Saga clan ceding Matsuura, Hiraura, and Goto to the Huaidong Army.

Qin Zitan thought about it carefully, and there were two points that he did not expect in advance:

The first is that after the assassination, Hayashi quickly sent troops to attack Matsuura, trapping the main samurai of the Saga clan on Hirado Island, which he did not expect in advance. As long as Lin Jian hesitated and feared, the assassination would become an unbreakable thorn in the gap between the Huaidong Army and the Saga clan, and it would disrupt Lin Bin's steps to open up a sea trade route between Chongzhou and the northern part of Kyushu Island.

After the Huaidong Army brazenly captured Songpu City, Saga Laiyuan's reaction was also something that Qin Zitan did not expect in advance. If the Huaidong Army and the Saga clan did not carry out a temporary reconciliation so quickly, the situation in the northwest of Kyushu Island would inevitably fall into great chaos, which would then affect the Huaidong Army's concentration of forces on Danluo Island and the decisive battle against the Koreans.

It was these two unforeseen factors that led to the Fujiang Island assassination, which did not develop in the direction predicted by Qin Zitan.

Extravagant Feihu has an impatient and irrepressible mood towards Huaidong and even for Lin Tie personally, and Qin Zitan can understand it very well.

Qin Zitan didn't complain about his bad tone, so he was patient and explained: "Huaidong cut off Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto from the Saga clan, it may not be a bad thing, the second son should not be impatient......"

"How is it not a bad thing?" Fei Fei Hu asked.

"Does the Saga clan really want to cede Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto to Huaidong?" Qin Zitan asked.

"......" Luxury Feihu was silent.

"The Goto Islands were originally the territory of the Okochi, and the inhabitants of Hirado and Matsuura were indigenous to Fuso, and had been ruled by the Saga clan for more than 200 years. With these three enclaves, what benefits can Huaidong get from them? Qin Zitan then asked a rhetorical question, without waiting for the extravagant Feihu to respond, and replied by himself, "As far as Huaidong's original intention is to open up the sea trade route connecting Chongzhou to Kyushu Island, and obtain huge profits from the sea trade route that can raise the army, rather than consuming resources to \/operate these three enclaves." Gaining three enclavies and opposing the Saga clan is far more beneficial for Huaidong than abandoning three enclaves and forming an alliance with the Saga clan. ”

"Although things did not develop as we expected, they may not be beneficial to Huaidong," Qin Zitan continued...... The Saga clan endured humiliation and humiliation, and in the Fuso domain, the Saga clan would also fall into isolation; Huaidong cut land from Kyushu Island, and the feudal states such as the Jinxiang clan and the Ping clan are bound to regard Huaidong as an urgent threat, how can it be so cheap for Huaidong to occupy? ”

"What you said also makes sense, but I'm too impatient!" Luxury Feihu sighed lightly, but there was always an irritability in his heart that was difficult to eliminate.

*****************

Early spring in Matsuura, northern Kyushu, is much wetter and colder than Kagoshima.

Wudao Dakou Chi Zhou and the strategist Yan Baishan crossed the sea to Songpu to see the Huaidong envoy Lin Binding, and they were uneasy, but they didn't feel particularly cold.

According to the rules, Chi Zhou took off the saber, and the entourage also stayed in the outer courtyard to wait. Together with Yan Baishan, under the guidance of the guards of the Huaidong Army, he walked into the heavily guarded inner courtyard and went to see Lin Bin.

Chi Zhou was not worried that his trip would be detained by the Huaidong Army, but after Huaidong captured Fukue Island, he easily cut off Matsuura and Hirado Island from the Saga clan, and the southern five islands led by Kuga Island were sandwiched between Fukue Island and Matsuura and Hirado Island.

With the 14,500 soldiers in his hands, how could he dare not respond to Lin Lian's summons?

Nangodao has always secretly traded with the merchants of Hirado and Matsuura to obtain some materials that are in short supply in Nangodao, and once the Huaidong Army cuts off the connection between Hirado and Matsuura and Nangodao, Chi Zhou will also have a headache.

When the Huaidong Army captured Fujiang Island, Chi Zhou sent his strategist Yan Baishan to see Lin Jian to try to recruit peace, but he still had the mind of waiting to see the situation.

This time, Chi Zhou made up his mind, if the conditions are right, it is not a bad thing to accept Zhao'an.

In the cold rain, Lin Jian and Song Jia stood under the eaves of the porch, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.

Fuso is deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, but it also has its own uniqueness, and it is good at building houses and landscaping in narrow courtyards. The cold rain is sprinkled on the white sand and white stones, and there are three or five thin bamboos, which have a lot of feelings and make people have endless aftertaste.

Chi Xuan and Yan Baishan were brought in, and Lin Jian looked sideways, this famous big man who crisscrossed the east of the sea was fifty years old, lean, his eyes were full of shrewdness, and he lacked a little bit of pirate's fierce bearing.

Lin Jian said with a smile: "It's really difficult to invite Chi Da to be in charge, you have lived in Fusang for many years, what do you think is unique about the landscaping of this house?" ”

Chi Zhou stood in front of the steps, there was cold rain falling, he didn't dare to have the slightest resentment, seeing Lin Jian open his mouth to ask about the house, standing in front of the eaves, respectfully replied: "Chi Zhou is a big old man, he really has no experience in the landscaping of the house, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the envoy......

"The fine white sand under the bamboo is the sea, and the few white stones that stand are the five islands in the northwest of Hirado. Look again, does it look like it? Lin Jian said.

"It's really like that!" Chi Xuan replied.

"I use Matsuura Castle and exchange Kuga Island with you, do you think it's good?" Lin Jian said.

Chi Zhou was stunned for a while, and couldn't figure out the meaning of Lin Tie for a while.

The Matsuura Peninsula is a rare plain plot in the northern part of Kyushu Island, larger than all the main islands of the Goto archipelago combined. If it weren't for the fact that the Huaidong Army had actually occupied Matsuura, it would have been impossible for Saga Yorigen to cede Matsuura neatly.

Exchanging Kuga Island for the Matsuura Peninsula is definitely worth it in terms of land alone.

There is no free lunch in the world, and Chi Zhou has spent half his life on the sea to compete for this power. If he really thought that things were so simple, he would have eaten half of his life in vain.

Chi Zhou didn't care about the water in front of the steps, so he immediately threw himself on his knees, knelt down in front of Lin Bin, and said: "Chi Zhou is adrift, and he has left his hometown for half his life, but he always thinks about his homeland in the Central Plains and the imperial court. The fact that Kugashima, Matsuura, and Hirado were able to be brought under the rule of the imperial court and protected by the Huaidong Military Division was a blessing for Chi Zhou and tens of thousands of people. From this time on, Chi Zhou regarded the system as his adoptive parents, and Goto, Matsuura, and Hirado were all under the rule of the Huaidong Military Division. The system is willing to use Chi Zhou to guard it, and Chi Zhou is willing to make the liver and brain smeared on the ground and die for the sake of the system, and then he ......"

"It's a good thing that you are willing to serve the imperial court, but the imperial court did not authorize me to recruit An'er and wait in Haidong!" Lin Jian looked at Chi Xuan with his eyes and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Chi Xuan heard Lin Lian say this, but when Lin Lian moved his murderous intent, he was instantly frightened and cold. The tiger-like wolf-like guards were guarding the left and right, he didn't dare to act easily, but just kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The system makes another good general guard the three places, naturally it is better, Chi Zhou does not dare to disobey, I just hope to return to the Central Plains to get three or five acres of fertile land for the elderly, I will be satisfied, I will be satisfied......
