A knife in love

Chapter 2935
When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a moment, and continued: "After the Songtian family occupied Songtianyan Island, they built a dock on the island, built a fort, stockpiled grain and grass, and built an island into a heavily guarded city. More than a hundred people During the years, not only many big names from the Fusang Kingdom secretly plotted against Matsuda Rock Island, but also many pirates gathered together and attacked Matsuda Rock Island several times. However, the Matsuda family has grown bigger and is far from what it used to be. The last time they attacked Matsuda Rock Island, they all ended in a disastrous defeat. However, the Matsuda family thought that they could only defend but not attack. Money, food and warships, let them go to the sea to be pirates. These pirates obey the orders of the Matsuda family and continue to attack and kill other pirates. Became a puppet of the Matsuda family and worked for the Matsuda family.

"The Matsuda family relied on Dewa Country and Matsuda Iwashima, and ruled the roost of Fuso Country. They not only collected taxes from merchants, but also took benefits from pirates. The money accumulated more and more, and their power grew. Matsuda Iwashima It is not only a springboard for businessmen from all walks of life to enter Fusang Kingdom, but also the best place for pirates and bandits to sell their stolen goods. There are inns, taverns, pawnshops, casinos, and brothels on the island. After many pirates and bandits snatch rare treasures, Daming and Fusang Kingdom couldn’t make a move, so they could only go to Matsuda Rock Island to sell the stolen goods. In order to collect benefits, the Matsuda family would say no to anyone who came. Therefore, the leader of the Matsuda family was not only the daimyo of Dewa Kingdom, but also the owner of Matsuda Rock Island. The big pirate leader who sits on the ground and divides the spoils."

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan heard Ding Guan's story about how the Songtian family got rich, they were quite surprised, and they couldn't help but looked at each other with serious expressions.I only heard Ding Guan continue to say: "The last time I passed by Songtianyan Island was about two years ago. At that time, there were more than 20 soldiers on the island. It is said that Deyu Kingdom has been prosperous in recent years, and it is capable of fighting There are no less than [-] soldiers, enough to fight against the most powerful daimyos in Fusang. I guess, according to this momentum, within [-] years, Dewa country will be enough to dominate Fusang country, and other daimyos can only submit to the Matsuda family. At that time, I'm afraid that the Matsuda family will no longer be willing to only be Daimyo Yukuni and the owner of Matsuda Rock Island. Hehe, hehe."

When Murong Danyan heard what Ding Guan said, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but said, "So what if you don't want to be reconciled? Could it be that the leader of the Songtian family still wants to be the king of Fusang Kingdom?"

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "People's hearts are not enough. The Matsuda family has tens of thousands of powerful soldiers and has accumulated a lot of gold and silver treasures, which has already made other daimyos quite afraid. It is said that many daimyos secretly colluded and planned to attack Deyu country together. If it hadn't been for the fact that the leaders of the Songtian family were long-sleeved and good at dancing, circling among the daimyos, and spending countless money to buy off the retainers of these daimyos, the two sides would have already fought hard. But if this tossing continues, the Songtian family will be no match for four hands after all. , once the battle is defeated, the country will inevitably die. What's more, although the royal family of Fusang is declining and has no name as the lord, it is impossible to command the names of all places. The daimyo rebelled and became king and hegemony. If the other daimyos refused to surrender, they would push out the leader of the Fusang Kingdom and use the name of the leader to raise a coalition army to defeat the rebels. Therefore, although the status of the leader of the Fusang Kingdom is unstable, he can Cleverly use the battles among these daimyos to maintain the dignity of the court. The power of the Matsuda family is growing day by day. Not only do the daimyos have to join hands to deal with the country of Yu, but the Fusang royal family will never tolerate the Matsuda family being a big one. The aggressiveness is still for self-protection, the Matsuda family will definitely rebel in the end."

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "For example, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde in the Three Kingdoms period, after defeating all the heroes, took the emperor to order the princes. Even if he wanted to be a loyal minister, he couldn't do it. In the end, it was not the emperor To kill is to be framed by the officials. If you want to protect yourself, you can only rebel. After killing the emperor and the officials, you will sit on the emperor's dragon chair. Although Cao Cao did not become the emperor in the end, he has already emptied the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian killed all the ministers who opposed the Cao family. After Cao Cao died, Cao Pi no longer had any scruples, abolished Emperor Xian of Han, and became emperor himself."

When Li Qiufeng heard what Ding Guan said, he was quite appreciative in his heart.Murong Danyan thought for a moment, and said: "So, the leader of the Songtian family is somewhat similar to the old thief Liu Sheng, and they both want to be emperor themselves."

Ding Guan didn't know what Murong Danyan's words meant, and said with a smile: "Miss Mu said Liu Sheng's old thief, who is that?"

Murong Danyan accidentally mentioned Liu Sheng Zongyan, and he was quite regretful in his heart. Hearing Ding Guan's question at this time, he didn't know how to answer, and his expression was rather awkward.Li Qiufeng was afraid of Murong Danyan's embarrassment, so he hurriedly said: "Ms. Mu and I met a Fusang man in the south of the Yangtze River last year. His surname was Liu Sheng, and his behavior was very strange. I heard that he followed Fusang envoys to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute a few years ago. I don’t know the reason why I had hysteria, so I couldn’t go to Beijing with other Fusang people to face the Holy Spirit, so I had to stay in the Bosi Yamen of Ningbo City for a temporary stay. After the Fusang envoy returned from the capital, I took him back to Fusang together. That day Miss Mu and I went to the Shibo Si Yamen to do business, and this lunatic just escaped from the room where he was locked up, and ran around the yard naked, yelling and threatening to become the emperor. In the end Shibo It took a lot of effort for the servants of the Si Yamen to push him down and tie him up, and he was imprisoned in the dungeon. Later, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Just now when Mr. Ding talked about the Songtian family, Miss Mu thought of that The lunatic named Yagyu is somewhat similar to the leader of the Matsuda family."

Murong Danyan came to his senses after hearing Li Qiufeng's words to cover up for himself, and hastily echoed a few words.Ding Guan did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "Fusang people are weird, and there are a few lunatics, but it is not unusual. I have dealt with Fusang people a few times, and found that these guys are bullying and fearful, so there is no need to be polite to them. If you treat them a little better, they will turn their noses up. Only by being tough and rude can you subdue them. I think that Fusang people are all low-spirited, unreasonable at all, and can only be suppressed by force."

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "After the Songtian family occupied Songtian Rock Island, they established many rules. For example, when we go from Daming to Fusang Kingdom, we must be sixty miles northwest of Songtian Rock Island. Stop, and let the warship of Matsuda Rock Island guide the way, and sail into the pier of Matsuda Rock Island. If someone does not obey the rules and sails to Matsuda Rock Island without authorization, the warships of the Matsuda family patrolling the sea will attack immediately. After we got here, we could only linger and wait for the warship from Matsuda Rock Island to come to pick us up."
