Chapter 1168: Tokugawa Iemitsu's Strategy

After sending off Zheng Zhi'e and Tagawa Ichiro, Tokugawa Iemitsu's face sank.

"Let's talk about it, how much benefit did you two receive from others, and you actually spoke for them so hard?"

The Tokugawa family asked in a voice.

Forehead......

Aoyama Tadashi and Sakai Tadashi were so frightened that their faces changed, and they knelt directly in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu and kowtowed!

"General, general, general, general, general......"

Others don't know Tokugawa Iemitsu, the two of them are very clear in class, the shogun is a real generation of heroes, it can be said that it is a rare hero for hundreds of years, the two of them are too explicit just now, if Tokugawa Iemitsu can't even see this, then he is not worthy of being a shogun.

"Tell me, how much benefit has been received!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's eyes flickered, on weekdays, these two guys privately collect some benefits, and do some bullshit things, but this time, they actually plan to sell a large piece of land, this is a real disaster for the country and the people, you must know that the entire Hirado Domain, that is one of the richest places in Toei, and it is also the foundation of Toei's overseas trade, these two guys are too bold, if they don't punish them, they will be even more lawless in the future.

"General Qiyu, we, we, we received 500,000 taels of silver from Tagawa Ichiro, and promised him a few kind words in front of you......"

Aoyama Tadashi and Sakai Tadashi are already numb, in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the two of them are just two guard dogs, don't want it, they can be abandoned by Tokugawa Iemitsu at any time, and if you don't do it, you will directly cook it into a pot of dog broth......

"Hehe, 500,000 taels per person, the appetite of the two of you is really big, the price that Zheng Zhi'e gave me is only 1.5 million taels of silver, tsk......"

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered and said.

Aoyama Tadashi hurriedly replied: "General, General, this silver, the two of us originally planned to use it to honor you, you see, we all carry this and this silver ticket with us, and it is ready to be dedicated to the general......"

The two of them know the means of Tokugawa Iemitsu very well, even if the two of them are his confidants and close ministers, and they commit the taboo of Tokugawa Iemitsu, they will definitely die without a place to be buried, at this time, they must save their lives, and everything else is secondary!

"Yes, yes, General, both of us have already brought the silver ticket with us......"

Sakai Tadashi also reacted very quickly, and had already taken out a dozen silver tickets from his clothes, respectfully placed them on the bookcase, and the two of them knelt on the ground together, waiting for disposal.

Tokugawa Iemitsu took a deep breath and said in a dark voice: "Aoyama, Sakai, you two listen to me, collect some benefits on weekdays, General Ben won't care, after all, you two are playmates who grew up with General Ben, General Ben doesn't want people to say ruthless, but you have to be clear, some things can be done, some things can't be done, once you sit down, General Ben's knife is ruthless!" This time, General Ben will let you go, and if you dare to come again, there will be no mercy! ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for sparing your life, thank you for sparing your life!"

The two brothers kowtowed again and again, their faces were pale, and they were really frightened by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"General, why don't we directly take the Tian Chuan family and the Zheng family's lair and swallow all the wealth in their hands?"

Tadashi Aoyama, who was on the side, got up from the ground and said in a low voice.

Syllable!

"Nonsense!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu slapped Tadashi Aoyama fiercely, and shouted: "The Tagawa family and the Zheng family's lair?" Do you know how huge Zheng Zhilong's power was back then? From the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, and then to Dongyang, no one and no force can help Zheng Zhilong's sailors, and our shogunate's troops on land are okay, but once we go to Hirado Mishima to find trouble with the Zheng family, our sailors will be swallowed up by others! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu can monopolize the power of Dongying, naturally these two straw bales can be compared, Zheng Zhilong left a shock to the forces of the East and the South Seas is too great, invincible above the sea, even now Zheng Zhilong is dead, and a large part of the Zheng family's sailors have returned to the Ming court, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and if you want to destroy the Zheng family, even if it is Tokugawa Iemitsu, you have to pay a heavy price, and Tokugawa Iemitsu will not do this kind of thankless thing.

"Well, since their Tagawa family and Zheng family want the Hirado Domain and Nagasaki, what if Shogun gives it to them? Hey hey ......"

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered.

Aoyama Tadashi and Sakai Tadashi are a little confused, and the general really wants to give the Hirado Domain and Nagasaki to the Zheng family and the Tagawa family!

"General, you're not ......"

Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered, "What do you know? I didn't agree immediately, it was to put more pressure on the Zheng family and get more benefits, the Zheng family controlled the trade between the East and the South Seas, and benefited from the sea trade every year, not to mention this? Over the years, even if they have accumulated a wealth of twenty or thirty million taels of silver, General Ben will not be surprised! As long as we are willing to give them the land, even if they double their commitment, it may not be impossible! When we encounter a fat sheep, how can we fight and miss? ”

"The general is wise, the general is wise......"

The two of them kept patting Tokugawa Iemitsu's ass, which made Tokugawa Iemitsu very useful.

"Also, now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the one named Zhu Jie, is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, he will never let go of the Zheng family, and I heard that he has said many times in public that sooner or later he will clean up the Dongying Wokou, and in the future, the navy of the Ming Dynasty will definitely threaten the life and death of our Dongying people!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu said in a deep voice, "Just relying on the strength of the Matsuura Takanobu family, it is impossible to protect the maritime trade routes of Dongying in the future, and even protect the interests of Kyushu Island and even the coastal areas of Honshu Island, and the Zheng family, which has a strong naval division in their hands, is just a sharp blade that we can borrow. This so-called drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and use the razor to defeat the wolf! What's more, Zheng Zhi'e is also right, Matsuura Takanobu and his sons are all shrewd and capable people, in the past few decades, the development has been getting faster and faster, if we don't take precautions, after a hundred years, no one in the paper skin will be able to balance this group of people, so, the Zheng family and the Tagawa family's request, I agreed! ”
