Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 575
Standing on the towering castle tower and looking down, this city that was ravaged by Americans in later generations is now considered to have been ravaged by the Ming Dynasty in advance. Up to now, the entire Nagasaki Bay, a huge city with a population of 50, is completely controlled. in his hands.

The rising flames of war have been extinguished, and the Zheng family pirates retreated to the ship contentedly after the plunder, and the first division of Fengyang started patrolling the streets, calming down the chaos.

However, the biggest benefit of Nagasaki City still falls into the hands of Song Qingshu. These days, under the Eastern dictatorship system, no one is richer than an official. The staff officers of the living army are still directing the packing. This time, they got at least 18 taels of gold and more than 100 million taels of silver.

I have to mention that although Little Japan is isolated overseas, its output is scarce, and the people can't even afford rice, but there are many volcanic activities, gold and silver deposits, and some key resources such as sulfur reserves, but they are very rich. Daming 100 Part of the original accumulation of gold and silver over the years came from the Americas, and the other part came from Japan, which is why Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to give up the Japanese trade anyway.

Not to mention Zheng Zhilong, even Song Qingshu is jealous now, sitting in the hall on the top floor of the castle tower where Lord He Zuo is always willing to sit, playing with a Japanese gold coin that is often seen in later animation works, Song Qingshu tossed and fiddled with it.

Didn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi plan to occupy the capital and divide the territory of Ming Dynasty near the capital into one hundred kingdoms?If the Great Ming Dynasty is lost and the Wa Kingdom can be occupied, it can be regarded as a time for shelter. It is not impossible to counterattack with the help of the Wa people in the future. Holding the gold coins, Song Qingshu is fascinated by his thoughts.

Just at this time, there were creaking and rushing footsteps on the wooden floor of the Japanese. It is said that this thing was invented by the Japanese daimyo as one of the tools to prevent assassins from being assassinated. He will know in advance, but in this way, a good sleep is a luxury. After lightly tapping the gold and silver, they will be moved onto the ship. Song Qingshu does not plan to live in this Japanese castle, but will return to the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

But now, what has to be endured has to be endured. Amidst the creaking sound, he picked his ears and put down the gold coins. Song Qingshu simply stood up and greeted him.

It was Song Yongzhong who came. He took the refugees and Xiao William's boat back to Ryukyu first. He came here in a hurry at this point, which is probably not a good thing.Sure enough, when he saw Song Qingshu, Song Yongzhong's wooden face was gloomy and he bowed heavily.

"Commander, Zheng Zhilong has withdrawn to Fujian, and has also withdrawn the supply line of the Zheng Family Navy."

"This guy!"

Song Qingshu couldn't help shaking his head after listening to the matter, but it didn't surprise him.

In history, when the Qing army approached Xianxia Pass, Zheng Zhilong was so cowardly. He took his tens of millions of property and went north to join the Qing court. As a result, a sheep came into the tiger's mouth and left a lot of mess for Zheng Sen to clean up. A line in political science, the weakness of the bourgeoisie is undoubtedly brought out in Zheng Zhilong.

However, Zheng Zhilong retreated at this time, and his unwiseness was revealed again. No matter how long Zheng Sen followed him, his surname was Zheng after all, and Zheng Zhilong's blood flowed in his veins. For the Zheng family, if his father speaks, will his son not do it?

But now, Zheng Zhilong has cut off the supplies of the Zheng family pirates. If he wants to continue this battle and secure his position, Zheng Sen has to ask Song Qingshu. If the surname is Song, that is not necessarily the case.

"Master, Mr. Zheng's side!"

After all, we are friends, Song Yongzhong still couldn't help asking, but Song Qingshu waved his hands when he heard it: "Don't worry about him first, taking the pole is not a business, Zheng Sen has been with me for a long time, he should come to the door by himself .”

"By the way, you have contributed a lot to being brave and loyal this time. This is a reward for your wife. After coming back from this skillful research, I have a good evaluation of you. How about it? Would you like me to give you a word?" ?”

Song Qingshu casually threw the gold coin to Song Yongzhong, and immediately Song Qingshu showed an ambiguous smile on his face, but this proposal made Song Yongzhong's sturdy body tremble.

"How? Are you going to give me an answer?"

Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu's urging brought Song Yongzhong back to his senses, but he hastily waved his hand and refused: "Marshal, the Huns are still alive, why do you want to be home? The last general, you don't want to get married yet!"

"Do you dislike Qiaoyan's low birth? This handsome can also recognize Qiaoyan as a righteous daughter."

"No, it's not like that!"

"Why is that?"

If Qiaoyan knew that he had this opportunity, he didn't know how happy he would be. Unfortunately, Song Yongzhong said no, his face turned red, and Song Yongzhong hurriedly waved his hands. These days, few people can refuse Song Qingshu. With his appearance, Song Qingshu raised his voice in displeasure.

"Back, back to Commander, the last general was born in a low position, not worthy of..."

"Not worthy of a fart, I'm still a traitor! You are also a division-level officer, the sixth-rank commander, oh, I understand!"

Suddenly showing a smiling face, Song Qingshu smiled helplessly and pointed at Song Yongzhong twice, then turned and walked to his seat, shaking his head while walking.

"Who are you looking for, kid? Forget it, it's no good for clever research."

"Let's see who dares to love. If you don't have enough money to propose to me, and the other party doesn't want to propose to me, I will propose marriage in person. I still have to give me this face! Okay, you are tired too! Go down and rest! "

Song Yongzhong heaved a sigh of relief. This time he missed a big opportunity. The reason why Song Qingshu was willing to match him personally must be that he will be of great use to him. If he needs to win him over, the general is willing to win him over personally, which is also a kind of kindness to him Sure, but Song Yongzhong didn't regret it, but after going out, he couldn't help sighing.

Does he dare to mention it?

It was a pity that Song Qingshu was not successful in making a matchmaker for the first time, but he went out again and looked at the He Zuofan Kujin who was being transported out of the door one by one, and his face was filled with satisfaction again. Ryukyu has not actually obtained the approval of the board of directors, but with these, Song Qingshu believes that he can easily convince the directors of the team whose appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

The Ming army was delayed in Nagasaki for about three days. The begging army not only transported away He Zuofan’s treasury gold, Song Qingshu was really like a locust, such as Japanese swords, Japanese fans, screens, armor, and large quantities of goods stored in Nagasaki , All the brains were packed and shipped onto the ship, and where they passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

As for the Zheng Jun pirates, large-scale looting also occurred on the second day. It seems that Zheng Sen does not intend to directly lead Zheng's pirate group to bow to Song Qingshu. He also intends to try to maintain himself. Less than half of Nagasaki's grain was looted to maintain itself.

On the third day, the refugees who had been transported away were brought back again. Song Qingshu was particularly vengeful. After their identification, he was the most active in the series of campaigns to capture Ming people, the most vicious in robbing Ming people, and the most cruel in torturing Ming people. All the shogunate officials and samurai were arrested and executed in the Akiyama Prison where Akito was originally held.

On the fourth day, under the strict order of the shogunate, the Satsuma Fan of Shimadzu and the Choshu Fan of Date, two Southwestern Powers, commanded a total of 30 samurai Ashgaru and approached Nagasaki City cautiously. After looting and emptying the city, there are only more than [-] people in Xiamachi who are still in shock.

This incident caused a huge wave in the upper echelon of the shogunate. Over the 1000 years since the founding of the Japanese kingdom, there was only one time when foreigners invaded Japan. It was Kublai Khan’s three conquests against Japan in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, but these three times also ended in the disastrous defeat of the Yuan Dynasty. The entire city of Nagasaki fell, more than 1 navy troops, and almost all the defenders were wiped out. This was the first time in the history of the Japanese kingdom.

When the news spread to Edo, the entire shogunate shogunate was shaken. General Xingzhizhong, Sanlaozhong, Wufengxing, 22 daimufu, many Ruoji Nian, etc. almost all the high-level shogunate gathered together, and everyone's face was distorted Yes, especially the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, whose fat face was trembling with anger.

"Ming invaders captured Nagasaki, plundered the Hezuo domain, the leader of the bandits, Nabeshima Kogoro, was captured, and the entire Kyushu navy was wiped out. Everyone, please tell me how to deal with it!"

"General, this time the merchants backlashed because of the detainment of merchants from the Ming Dynasty. I believe that we should send envoys to the capital to submit a note and let the emperor deal with it. The Ming Dynasty has never been soft on merchants. We can also save precious money. troops……"

Tokugawa Ieyasu's assistant minister Wakatoshi, Aoyama Tadatoshi is considered the most stable one. Seeing that the general was furious, he was the first to speak out to persuade him, but before he finished speaking, one of the three elders Tatori Sakai was already angrily knocking on the tatami and stood up.

"No, general! If the shogunate can't even deal with this group of pirates from the Ming Dynasty, what is the majesty of the shogunate? General, the shogunate should declare war on the Ming! Take the capital and wash away our shame with the blood of the Ming people!"

"I also support it!" Another veteran Zhongqiu Abe also stood up and saluted the general: "According to information, Daming is no longer the same as it was during the Renchen and Wenlu campaigns. Their Liaodong, The Jurchens have already rebelled, and North Korea is no longer a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Within the Ming Dynasty, farmers from all walks of life continue to mobilize and defeat the Ming army. Break into the capital in one fell swoop and occupy the capital of Ming Dynasty."

"The Jurchens are brave and scheming. After occupying the Ming Dynasty, we can fight back and destroy the Jurchens along the way. At that time, all the kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of the generals. The great achievements that Fengchen Taige failed to do back then , will be completed by the general! The general will also become a great figure surpassing the generals of all generations!"

"Yes, declare war on Ming Dynasty!"

"I am loyal and willing to be a pioneer!"

"My Shenyuan Dazheng is willing to protect the left and right for the general!"

"Send troops! General!"

The shogunate is mainly composed of warriors. Compared with the civil servants, it is a bit less strategic. Nagasaki is one of the major sources of income for the shogunate. The gold and silver that Song Qingshu took away were almost all taken from everyone’s pockets. Except for a few who are relatively stable, almost the vast majority of people advocate declaring war on Ming Dynasty.

In such a scene, General Tokugawa Iemitsu's plump and fair face couldn't help showing a wave of excitement, and he stood up suddenly while leaning on the chair.

"Okay, announce the mobilization order of the shogunate, mobilize the warriors of the world, and send to Edo..."

"Report!!!"

Before the order came out, there was a panicked voice from outside, and a subordinate Mugetsu rushed in, and the order was interrupted. Tokugawa Iemitsu's expression clearly showed displeasure, and the old Nakai Tadori was even more angry. He yelled and cursed wildly.

"Ba Ga, trespassing on the court meeting, if there is no important matter, you will die!"

"Back, back to Laozhong, Ming Kou, Ming Kou landed in Tosabo, the lord Yamauchi Yasutoyo has been defeated and escaped from the Shikoku! Awa, Awaji asked the shogunate for help one after another!"

With a buzz, everyone in the courtyard of the shogunate was in chaos...
