Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 496

Otomo Masaki and Otomo Yoshiyou hurried to the port with their cronies, and were immediately shocked by the huge battleship group in front of them.

In the small port, there are all large warships, and the rows of gun holes on the battleships are clearly visible. At the same time, on the sea farther away, hundreds of large ships are cruising on the sea, with flags flying and murderous.

On the land of the port, the entire port has been controlled by the army. Groups of Ming soldiers are standing neatly, and a large number of war horses and cannons have been transported ashore.

The Japanese people in the port were already trembling with fright, closing their doors one by one, looking at the tall Ming soldiers in the port with fearful eyes.

"Whoo~"

"It's okay, it's okay, it seems that they didn't come here to ask questions, otherwise they would definitely use force against the people in the port."

Seeing this scene, Dayou Zhengqin breathed a sigh of relief, the soldiers of Daming seemed to have done nothing to harm anything in the port, and did not do anything to the common people of Wa Kingdom.

This made him feel that Daming's army was just passing by, or was planning to take a rest here. If this was the case, then maybe it was their opportunity for Dayou's family.

If he could curry favor with the people of the Ming Dynasty, he might be able to buy weapons, artillery, etc. from the Ming people. I heard that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful. If he had a few powerful artillery pieces, he would definitely be able to unify Kyushu Island.

Thinking of this, he mustered up the courage to take his son Otomo Yoshitsuki to the port.

In the port, Liu Jin is admiring the Japanese architecture of this era. All the buildings are very low and all made of wood. The style is very similar to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.

In this respect, Wa learned from the Tang Dynasty, even the place names, such as Kyushu, Kanto, Kansai, Guanzhong, etc. These place names sound familiar, but in fact they were named after learning from the Tang Dynasty. of.

"Report~"

"A great name from the Wa Kingdom came to see you~"

At this time, someone hurried over and said.

"Quite fast~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately laughed, then thought for a while and said: "Search carefully, don't let them bring weapons and hidden weapons, and then bring them here."

Little life is important, and those who should be careful should be more careful.

"Yes~"

Soon, Dayou Zhengqin and Dayou Yiyou came to Liu Jin with five warriors unarmed.

"Daimyo Otomo of Japan's Kyushu pays homage to the angel of Shangguo~"

Seeing Liu Jin, Dayou Zhengqin took his own people to bow to Liu Jin very seriously.

Liu Jin looked at Otomo Zhengqin and the people around him. Otomo Zhengqin and Otomo Yoshiyou were wearing aristocratic costumes, and the people next to them were all in samurai uniforms. At a glance, it was clear that Otomo Zhengqin and Otomo Yoshiyou were the core .

So Liu Jin also stared at Otomo Zhengqin and Otomo Yoshiyou carefully. Otomo Zhengqin was probably in his forties, which was when he was in the prime of life and when he was most ambitious. As for Otomo Yoshiyou, he was similar to himself, young, But aggressive.

Liu Jin was looking at them, and they were also looking at Liu Jin.

Because he often has dealings with Daming's merchant ships, he has a good understanding of the situation in Daming. Da Youzheng knew Liu Jin's grade when he saw Liu Jin's official uniform, and looked at Liu Jin's age, and immediately knew the Liu Jin in front of him. It is not easy to be promoted, he is already a member of the fourth rank at a young age, and the future is boundless.

Liu Jin just looked at Dayou Zhengqin and the others, but kept silent. This made Dayou Zhengqin and the others puzzled for a while, wondering what kind of medicine Liu Jin was selling in the gourd.

"Dayouzhengqin, do you still know that your Wa country is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty?"

After a long time, when Oyouzheng's forehead was slightly sweating, Liu Jin spoke slowly.

"I don't understand what your lord means~"

When Otomo heard this, he frowned slightly, then thought for a while and replied.

"Don't understand me?"

Liu Jin closed his smile, widened his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Your Dayou's family is the first to impose heavy taxes on our Daming Merchant Shipping, right?"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Dayouzheng gave a kick in his heart, and immediately thought that something was wrong, if the Ming court sent troops because of this matter, then his own Dayou family was really doomed.

"My lord, the collection of commercial taxes is the internal affairs of our country."

Masaki Otomo thought for a while and replied.

"internal affairs?"

"As far as I know, neither the Japanese king nor the shogunate seem to have issued an order to impose heavy taxes on our Daming merchant ships. It must be your own initiative."

Liu Jin asked with a smile.

"This…."

Otomo's political relatives didn't know how to answer for a moment. Nominally, the entire Wa country was a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and the nominal rulers of the Wa country were still the Wa king and the shogunate, and all daimyos had to obey the orders of the Wa king and the shogunate.

"Let's not talk about this first."

"There is one more thing, our Daming merchant ship, the Kunlun Mountain merchant ship, was it looted by your friend's house?"

Liu Jin looked at Oyou Zhengqin, and then asked coldly.

The Kunlun Mountain Merchant Ship was a cargo ship that had an accident recently. This cargo ship was ransacked and clean, and only a few crew members escaped. This incident was known to everyone.

"No, no, absolutely not, we absolutely dare not loot the merchant ships of the Shang Kingdom of Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Dayou Zhengqin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shook his head and said.

This matter cannot be admitted until death. Once admitted, not only will they suffer revenge from Daming, but they will not be able to get along with Dayou's family here in Wa Kingdom.

"No?"

"Where did the batch of goods sold by your Dayou family in the Kyoto area come from?"

Liu Jin asked coldly, regarding this matter, Liu Jin has been checked clearly, even the whereabouts of their goods have been found out.

"Our Dayou's family bought it from a Daming merchant. Our Dayou's family would never dare to loot a Daming merchant ship."

Dou Da's sweat poured out from Otomo Masa's forehead, something happened.

And who would have imagined that Daming's reaction was so quick, and how quickly he would send an army over. This time, he was definitely here to ask questions. Whether Dayou's family can survive this test is really hanging this time.

"Don't you dare?"

"There is nothing you dare not do. You are the governor of Dayou's family. This time is just right for you to come."

Liu Jin sneered, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, it's all about you anyway.

"Come here, arrest them and lock them up."

"I will personally press you to meet your Japanese king and the shogun, and let them come and make decisions for our Ming merchants."

Without talking nonsense with him, Liu Jin ordered coldly.

"My lord, my lord~"

Dayou Zhengqin saw the Ming soldiers approaching him all around, and immediately panicked.

If he was imprisoned by the people of Daming for a period of time and left here, then his family would basically be finished.

When the warriors under Oyouzheng saw the Ming soldiers who were approaching, they immediately surrounded Oyouzheng and Oyouyi one by one, and looked at the surrounding soldiers vigilantly.

"Take it~"

When Liu Jin saw it, he immediately said coldly, and a thousand households next to him immediately understood what Liu Jin meant.

As soon as he waved his hand, the swords in the hands of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty mercilessly fell towards the warriors accompanying Dayou Zhengqin. These warriors still had some material, and they could fight with bare hands.

But after all, he didn't have any weapons, and he was hard to beat with two fists and four hands. He was soon held up to his neck by a sword and had to be captured without a fight.

"Hmph~ dare to resist~"

"Cut~"

Liu Jin looked at the few warriors who had been taken down, and said coldly.

"Adult~Adult~"

When Oyou Zheng saw that his samurai was about to be killed, he immediately said anxiously: "My lord, my lord, if you have something to say, if you have something to say, I can give you any amount of money."

In desperation, Dayou Zhengqin quickly said that he knew from the merchants of Daming that officials of Daming were very greedy and that money was very easy to use.

"Hmph~ You should think about how to survive yourself."

Liu Jin looked at Oyou Zhengqin and said coldly.

"Cut~"

On the other side, Daming's soldiers took down several warriors. With an order, a cold light flashed, and several heads fell to the ground instantly.

Seeing the heads of a few of his trusted samurai fell to the ground, Otomo Masakin and Otomo Yoshiyou's face turned pale immediately, and they immediately understood that Otomo's family was finished.

This time, the people of Ming Dynasty came to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes. If they don’t kill themselves now, it is to bring them to the capital. Once they arrive in Kyoto, even if the people of Ming Dynasty don’t kill themselves, the shoguns in Kyoto will kill themselves. To appease the anger of the Ming people.

"Attack Otomo's house~"

After killing a few warriors, Liu Jin ordered coldly in front of Dayou Zhengqin.

Now is not the time to kill Otomo Masakin and Otomo Yoshiyou, they are still valuable, and they need to be saved and killed in Kyoto, so as to deter the Japanese king, shogunate and daimyo of the Wa Kingdom.

Of course, it's not just this big friend's family governor, as long as it is a daimyo who can be caught, Liu Jin is ready to deal with it in this way. If you don't kill a group of these daimyos from the Japanese country, they won't know how to be afraid, and if you want to kill them, you must kill them. name.

The ambitious Otomo political relatives, and Ouchi Yoshiko, who is known as the hero of the Warring States Period, are typical examples, and they are all on the must-kill list.

"It's over~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Otomo Zhengqin and Otomo Yiyou suddenly felt ashamed, and their hearts were ashamed.

"Dayou's house is over~"

Oyou Zhengqin closed his eyes, at this moment, his intestines were already green with regret.

I regret that I shouldn't have imposed heavy taxes on Da Ming's merchant ships. In fact, they have made a lot of money through the resale trade, and they shouldn't have looted Da Ming's merchant ships. Now it's too late, and Da You's family is finished.
