Kai Fu Han

Chapter 564

In the past few years, the Matsuura family has grown very rapidly by relying on the Han League's industrial products and copper coin trade.Hirojun Matsuura, who was supported by the Xinghan League, was able to penetrate and control most of the Matsuura family's power because most of the power was basically expanded in recent years and did not touch the interests of the old guys, and also allowed them to taste some sweetness.

"There is Hanzhai here as a transit stop and resting place, which is enough." Liu Xinyuan replied, rejecting Matsuura Jiaxin's request to intervene, and did not answer the Xinghan League's purpose of this trip.

Going south to attack Liuqiu requires Japanese servants as cannon fodder, and it is not possible to turn against the local Japanese forces for the time being.

But we can't let them interfere.

The Matsuura family has been developing rapidly recently, and there are already signs of continued expansion to the south. If they know that the Xinghan League's goal is all the islands south of Saikaidō, the Matsuura family may hinder it.

As a result, the Matsuura family will definitely not be able to stop the development of the Xinghan League, but it is still a trouble, and it can be avoided as little as possible.

"Where do you plan to recruit so many Japanese people from your country? As the chief of Matsuura County, I have to be responsible for the people in the county." Matsuura Yoshinobu asked again.

The smile on Liu Xinyuan's face faded.

"It won't be used in your Japanese country, so the head of the family can rest assured."

Matsuura Hirojun, who came with him, stopped his father who wanted to continue asking: "Father, the Xinghan League can recruit people here, and it also gives those poor people a way to live. With the benevolence of the Xinghan League, there will be no problem. of."

Matsuura Jiaxin looked at his son, then at Liu Xinde and Liu Xinyuan, knowing that he would not be able to ask anything today, so he made a request:
"Well, I hope they can write letters home often."

This means that these recruited Japanese people should not be cut off from their families (Japanese country).

"That's for sure. As long as someone is willing to write, we will definitely help send it back." Liu Xinyuan promised: "Even if they are illiterate, we will regularly arrange for people to write letters for them. This is the tradition of our Xinghan Alliance army. "

"I can rest assured that."

It seems that the Matsuura family will definitely add people to the servant army.If you can send a letter home, you can let the Matsuura family know the movements of these servants.

Liu Xinyuan didn't mind this.

Going south to occupy the island is a head start.

Whoever occupies it first will own it.

As long as the Xinghan Alliance occupied several islands adjacent to Saikaidō first, it would be equivalent to cutting off the way for Japan to expand southward.

It only takes two or three days to occupy several small islands.Sending letters takes time, and this time difference can be easily squeezed out.

As for the Matsuura family after they found out about the purpose of reviving the Han Alliance, it was a done deal. The settlement allowance had been paid, the servant army was full, and the island was occupied, so they had no choice.

"Let me see you off." Seeing Matsuura Jiaxin standing up to say goodbye, Liu Xinde also stood up to see him off.

Liu Xinde and Matsuura Hirojun called each other brothers all day long. Naturally, they were one generation younger than Matsuura Yoshinobu, so they used the honorific title.

Liu Xinyuan and Matsuura Hirojun had no intersection, and they all had their own opinions, so they just got up politely to see him off, but did not send him out the door.

"Xinde, you can be regarded as the son-in-law of our Matsuura family. You are one of our own. If there are any changes, please remember to inform our Matsuura family. Our Matsuura family will not block the way of the Xinghan Alliance." Delivered to the door, Matsuura Kashin He bowed and bowed to Liu Xinde.

Liu Xinde's two concubines were both named Matsuura before they entered the family. After marrying Liu Xinde, they took their husband's surname.

"You're welcome. Based on my relationship with Hong Jun, I will definitely not stand idly by." Liu Xinde promised.

It seems that Matsuura Yoshinobu has realized something. Although he does not know exactly the purpose of the Xinghan League, he can also feel that there will not be long-term peace between the Xinghan League and the Japanese country.

Matsuura Yoshinobu said that he would not stand in the way of the Xinghan League, which meant that if the Xinghan League was hostile to the Japanese, the Matsuura family would not help the Japanese.

As for whether it will help revitalize the Han League, only then can we weigh the pros and cons.

Liu Xinde's guarantee does not mean that he favors the Matsuura family, but because most of the current Matsuura family's wealth comes from the Xinghan League. It is indirectly considered the sphere of influence of the Xinghan League, and his own "property" will naturally be Protect it.In the past few years of interactions, Matsuura Hirojun has become a naturalized member of the Xinghan League. If it weren't for the fact that the figure would change drastically after being attached with the military commander card, which would affect Matsuura Hirojun's latent plan, Liu Xinde would have enlightened Matsuura Hirojun long ago.

"Walk slowly!"

……

During the whole meeting, Matsuura Hirojun didn't say much, but just warmed up the two sides when they were having a cold time.

But before leaving, Hirojun Matsuura secretly stuffed a small note into Liu Xinde.

Returning to the reception room, Liu Xinde opened the note and looked at it.

"What is this?" Liu Xinyuan walked in and asked.

"It should be the people the Matsuura family plans to insert into the servant army." Liu Xinde replied
There were names all over the note, 37 of them.

"Matsuura Hirojun is already one of ours?" Liu Xinyuan wanted to confirm.

"That's right. If you haven't attached an immortal talisman, you can't guarantee [-]% loyalty." Liu Xinde replied.

"Then you can't believe this note completely." Liu Xinyuan reminded.

"Of course." Liu Xinde rolled up the note again and put it away: "Not only because of Matsuura Hirojun's loyalty issue, even if he is absolutely loyal, the Matsuura family will definitely put some people who Matsuura Hirojun doesn't know about."

"Makes sense."

Matsuura Hirojun is too close to the Xinghan League.

The Matsuura family "compensated" him to the Xinghan League before. Although he finally returned home, everyone in the Matsuura family understood that Matsuura Hirojun must have a grudge in his heart.

In the past few years, Matsuura Hirojun has more than tripled the Matsuura family's business, but he has not gained the Matsuura family's trust.

Even an outsider like Liu Xinde could see this.

"Okay, since you have nothing to do here, I will go to the dock to have a look. The fleet will return today."

"Return? Is there anyone else coming?" Liu Xinde asked doubtfully.

"The entire fourth brigade will come, including the heavy artillery battalion, all the cavalry and the regimental officers. It will definitely not be transported at once." Liu Xinyuan replied.

"With such a large formation, is it dangerous to the south?" Liu Xinde asked.

"It's not just about dealing with the south." Liu Xinyuan replied.

"Can I know?" Liu Xinde seemed a little cautious.

Liu Xinyuan turned around and patted Liu Xinde on the arm: "There is nothing that cannot be known, but it is still uncertain. It is considered to be prepared in advance and prepared in advance."

Then Liu Xinyuan told Liu Xinde about the Twin Cities.

"It turns out there are mines there, so I asked why a city was suddenly built in the mountains and forests." Liu Xinde said cheerfully.

There will naturally be disputes if there is a mine, and the fourth brigade is equivalent to the insurance of the first brigade.

"Knowing that I have so many people coming, you have to be prepared." Liu Xinyuan will change the topic.

"No problem, there are plenty of houses. I will step up the purchase of other bits and pieces so that the soldiers will not live in discomfort." Liu Xinde assured with a pat on his chest.
