Lord of the House

There is a warm and humid air flow from the Kurosui Ocean, and Kagoshima is also humid and warm in winter. Compared with the extreme cold on the Goryeo Peninsula, winter in Kagoshima is heaven on earth.

Kagoshima is located at the southern end of Kyushu Island. Six or seven hundred years ago, sea merchants from Mingzhou, Jin'an and other places came to Kagoshima to conduct sea trade transactions with Fuso people. Several times the pirate forces in the East China Sea flourished, and many of them used Kagoshima as their rear base.

For hundreds of years, people from the Central Plains have moved to Kagoshima one after another; there are also many pirates who want to wash their hands and settle in Kagoshima, forming a complex living environment in Kagoshima. Even though the Ohsumi Heira clan has been strengthening its control over Kagoshima, for decades, Kagoshima has been inextricably linked with the East China Sea bandit forces, and has never been completely cut off.

After the luxury family controls most of Zhejiang and Fujian, Luer County has naturally become the area where the luxury family has the deepest influence on Kyushu Island.

Even if the She family has no intention to develop a water camp force with cross-sea combat capability, it will not underestimate the huge benefits that maritime commerce and trade can bring to the She family, and has never given up its influence and penetration in Kagoshima.

Since the Fusang feudal states also recognized Dazaifu's rule over the Fusang Islands in name, Fusang also regarded the Dayue Dynasty as the suzerain government, and the She family was a rebel of the Dayue Dynasty. Reconciliation, of course, cannot be brought to the table, and it has always been carried out in secret.

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

Kagoshima is rainy in winter, Qin Zitan was wearing wooden shoes, standing under the eaves, watching the rain column pouring down in the heaven, and his heart was full of helpless sighs.

At this moment, Hu Cong pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard, and came in from outside. Seeing Qin Zitan standing under the porch to watch the rain, he said, "Second Young Master, please come over, sir!"

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

She Feihu walked around on the grass mat with bare feet. When he saw Qin Zitan coming over, he couldn't help but said angrily, "Look at your good plan!"

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

It is impossible for the Huaidong Army to directly send troops to attack the mainland of Goryeo. It is the best strategy to trap Zhen Feng, the governor of Haiyang County, on Danluo Island to surround and fight for reinforcements. Goryeo's gathering of troops in Haiyang County could not be accomplished in a day or two. Lin Bui took advantage of this gap to gather forces to attack Shen Heming's troops who had participated in the attack on Jeju Fortress. This was not difficult or expected.

The assassination of Fujiang Island was indeed done by Qin Zitan instigating the Dayuping clan.

"Huaidong easily got three enclaves, why isn't it a good thing?" She Feihu asked.

As far as She Feihu is concerned, although he was defeated in the battles of Shengsi, it also made his vision more focused on the sea, making him the main figure in the She family who supported the development of sea power.

It's a pity that She Feihu, who had to bear most of the responsibilities, lost his prestige and power within the She family after losing all battles in Shengsi, making him directly lose the possibility of competing with She Feixiong for the right of inheritance.

She Feihu has been dormant in Jin'an for a period of time. Even if he enjoys the wealth and honor, his authority is greatly reduced, and he has no possibility of leading the military power alone.

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

She Feihu could only find another way. Huaidong built the Jeju Fortress on Danluo Island and opened up a route between Chongzhou and Jeju. Sea trade was also a source of funds for the luxury family to support the army, and contacted the forces of the feudal countries such as Kyushu and Honshu. It is naturally what She Feihu is willing to do to suppress the forces of Huaidong to penetrate into the Haidong area.

The more important purpose of She Feihu's visit to Kagoshima is to go to Korea to form a secret alliance with the Donghu people, but the direct route from Kagoshima to Korea is controlled by the Huaidong Army's water camp warships.

She Feihu temporarily stopped in Kagoshima, intending to go east, by way of Honshu Island in the east, to go to Goryeo, and meet with the envoy Na Hexiongqi of Donghu.

She Feihu came to Kagoshima, and the itinerary was very dense, and even the Ping family did not know it. He stayed in Kagoshima because he also wanted to see that the assassination plan would have a good result. Unexpectedly, after waiting for nearly ten days, it is such a result, so that he can treat it calmly?

Of course, Qin Zitan didn't expect the twelve dead men to sneak onto Fukue Island. The confrontation between the He clan has also lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the confrontation between the Huaidong army and the Saga clan was also something that the Ping clan was willing to do.

But no one thought that the assassination incident would end with the Saga clan ceding Matsuura, Hiraura, and Goto to the Huaidong Army for supervision.

Qin Zitan thought about it, and found two things that he didn't expect beforehand:

One is that Lin Bie quickly dispatched troops to attack Matsuura after the assassination, trapping the main warriors of the Saga clan on Hirado Island, which he did not expect in advance. As long as Lin Bie hesitated a little, the assassination incident would become an inextricable thorn between the Huaidong Army and the Saga clan, which would disrupt Lin Bie's steps to open up the maritime trade route connecting Chongzhou and northern Kyushu Island.

After the Huaidong Army sacked Songpu City, Saga Laiyuan's reaction was something Qin Zitan could not have expected in advance. If the Huaidong Army and the Saga clan did not make such a quick and swift reconciliation, the situation in the northwest of Kyushu Island would inevitably fall into chaos, which would affect the Huaidong Army's decisive battle against the Koreans on Danluo Island.

It was these two unforeseen factors that caused the Fukue Island assassination incident to not develop in the direction Qin Zitan predicted.

She Feihu has an uncontrollable impatience towards Huaidong and even towards Lin Fu himself, which Qin Zitan can understand very well.

Qin Zitan didn't complain about his bad tone, but calmed down and explained, "Huidong cut off Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto from the Saga clan. It's not necessarily a bad thing, second son, don't be impatient... …”

"Why isn't it a bad thing?" She Feihu asked.

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

"..." She Feihu was silent.

"The Goto Archipelago was originally the territory of the great pirate Chi Zhou. The residents of Hirado and Matsuura were all natives of Fuso, and they have been ruled by the Saga clan for more than two hundred years. With these three enclaves, Huaidong can What benefits do you get from it?" Qin Zitan immediately asked another question, and without waiting for She Feihu to respond, he replied, "Huaidong's original intention was to open up the maritime trade route between Chongzhou and Kyushu Island, and from the maritime trade route. Instead of spending a lot of resources, come/operate these three enclaves. To gain three enclaves and oppose the Saga clan, for Huaidong, it is far better to abandon the three enclaves and compete with the Saga clan. Saga's alliance is more beneficial."

"Although things did not develop as we expected, it may not be beneficial to Huaidong," Qin Zitan continued to explain: "...The Saga clan has endured humiliation and humiliation, and within the Fusang clans, the Saga clan will also be isolated. Huaidong will cut the soil from Kyushu Island, and the vassal states such as the Jinxiang clan and the Ping clan will inevitably see Huaidong as an urgent threat, how can it be so cheap for Huaidong to take advantage of?"

"What you said also makes sense, I was too impatient!" She Feihu sighed, but there was always an irritability in his heart that could not be eliminated.

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

Early spring in Matsuura in the northern part of Kyushu Island is much colder than Kagoshima.

Chi Zhou and his advisor Yan Baishan crossed the sea to Songpu to see Lin Fu, the envoy of Huaidong's system, and felt uneasy, but they did not feel particularly cold.

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

It's not that 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 took the southern five islands headed by Kuga Island. Between Fukue Island and Matsuura and Hirado Island.

With fourteen to five hundred pirates in his hands, how could he dare not respond to Lin Fu's summons?

The Nanwu Islands have always secretly traded with merchants from Hirado and Matsuura, and obtained some materials that were in short supply in the Nanwu Islands. Once the Huaidong Army cut off the connection between Hirado, Matsuura and the Nanwu Islands, Chi Zhou would also have a headache.

When the Huaidong Army captured Fujiang Island, Chi Zhou sent his advisor Yan Baishan to see Lin Fu to try to recruit security officials.

This time, Chi Zhou made up his mind. If the conditions are right, it is not a bad thing to accept the recruiting.

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

Fusang is deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, but it also has its own uniqueness. It is good at building landscaping in a narrow courtyard. The cold rain sprinkled on the white sand and white stone, and the three or five thin bamboos have a lot of sentimentality, which is unforgettable.

Chi Zhou and Yan Baishan were led in, and Lin Fu turned his head to look at this famous pirate who was in his fifties.

Lin Fu smiled and said, "It's really hard to invite Chi Da's family. You have lived in Fusang for many years. What do you think is unique about the landscaping of this house?"

Chi Zhou was standing in front of the steps, and when the cold rain fell, he didn't dare to have the slightest resentment. Seeing Lin Fie's opening, he asked about building the house, stood in front of the eaves, and replied respectfully, "Chi Zhou is a rude old man. I really don't have much experience in building landscaping, so I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of the governor..."

"The fine white sand under this bamboo is the sea, and the few white stones standing are the five islands in the northwest of Hirado. Look again, do you look like it?" Lin Fu said.

"When the governor said that, it's really similar!" Chi Zhou replied ~www.readwn.com~ I use Matsuura Castle and exchange Kuga Island with you, do you think it's good? "Lin Fu said.

Chi Zhou was stunned, unable to figure out what Lin Bie meant for a while.

The Matsuura Peninsula is a rare plain land in the northern part of Kyushu Island, and its area is larger than all the main islands of the Goto Islands combined. If it wasn't for the fact that the Huaidong Army had actually occupied Matsuura, Saga Laiyuan would not have been able to cede Matsuura neatly.

Swapping Kuga Island for Matsuura Peninsula is definitely far worth it in terms of land alone.

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

Chi Zhou didn't care about the water marks in front of the steps, so he immediately fell on his knees, knelt down in front of Lin Fu, and said, "Chi Zhou drifted away and left his hometown for half his life, but he was always thinking of the homeland of the Central Plains and the imperial court in his heart. The fact that Kuga Island, Matsuura, and Hirado can be brought under the rule of the imperial court and can be sheltered by the Huaidong Military Division is really a blessing for Chi Zhou and tens of thousands of people. From this time on, Chi Zhou regarded the system as his adopted parents. , Goto, Matsuura, and Hirado are all land under the administration of the Huaidong Military Commander. The Shizhi would like to use Chi Zhou to guard it, and Chi Zhou would like to make his liver and brain smeared on the ground for the Zhizhi, and then he will die..."

"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 in Haidong!" Lin Fu looked at Chi Zhou and asked, "What do you say?"

Chi Zhou heard what Lin Fu said, but when Lin Fu was motivated to kill, he was instantly frightened and cold. The guards who were like tigers and wolves were guarding the left and right, he did not dare to move rashly, but just kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Zhizhi has another good general guarding the three places, it is naturally better, Chi Zhou does not dare to refuse, and only hopes to return to the Central Plains to get three or five Mu liangtian cares for the elderly, I am satisfied, I am satisfied..."
