Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 472
Zheng Zhilong did not garrison Yokohama Village in person. It was Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu who led more than 1000 naval soldiers to guard Yokohama Village instead of Zheng Zhilong.Zheng Zhihu was also a ruthless man. More than 1000 naval soldiers were stationed near Yokohama Village. During the period when the Beiyang Fleet went south to attack Nanjing City, there were only two or three warships in Yokohama Port. Don't dare to think about Yokohama Port.

"Sir, there is a wandering samurai claiming to be the bannerman of the Tokugawa family, and he came to ask us for help on behalf of the Tokugawa family." The officer on guard reported the matter to Zheng Zhihu.

"The military lord told me not to cause trouble at will when the decision is not made in the customs. Now that the matter has come to me, it is not my fault." Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but get excited when he heard that the Tokugawa family was coming to make trouble.

Taking the initiative to do things and doing things passively are completely different in nature!If it is passive to make troubles, Zheng Zhihu has a lot of room to play!
"These days, I'm getting bored, bring people from the Tokugawa shogunate to see me." Zheng Zhihu excitedly patted the wooden table.

Soon the ragged wandering samurai was brought over by soldiers of the Kyushu Army.Along the way, the wandering samurai looked curiously at the changes in Yokohama Village, and found that the wharf had been enlarged several times, and construction was underway. The obvious purpose was to create an excellent port, and it could also berth large ships.

In addition to the changes at the pier, a large row of houses was added to Yokohama Village for the residence of soldiers of the Kyushu Army stationed in Yokohama Village.

"The entire Musashi Kingdom is at war with the rebels, but Yokohama Village is so peaceful, it really doesn't feel like the land of our original Musashi Kingdom, it seems like the Peach Blossom Spring described in Chinese books." The wandering samurai envied.

"Peace must be supported by strong force." Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but stepped out and said, "Friends of the shogunate, what can I do for you?"

"Are you Zheng Zhilong, commander of the Beiyang Fleet of the Kyushu Army?" asked the wandering warrior, "It turns out that Zheng Zhilong is even bigger than the rumors say."

"No, Zheng Zhilong is my brother. I am Zheng Zhilong's younger brother and the commander of the Kyushu Army stationed in Yokohama." Zheng Zhihu said, "Looking at your outfit, you don't look like a member of the Tokugawa shogunate. You Could it be a spy who deceived our soldiers so that they could sneak in? If that's the case, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

"Zheng Zhihu? It's urgent. You don't have enough positions. I want to see Zheng Zhilong, commander of the Beiyang Fleet!" The wandering warrior became anxious.

"Your uncle, your position is not enough! What kind of onion are you, dare to call my name directly to see my brother, see if I don't want to slap you! Tell me who you are, and if you fool me again, you will be killed immediately!" Your dead body in Edo Bay!" Zheng Zhi was furious.

A small Japanese warrior, still qualified to say that his position is humble?Even if Chu Yun feared that the Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu brothers would become bigger, and did not give Zheng Zhihu a lot of power, Zheng Zhihu's two identities, the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, and the commander of the troops stationed in Yokohama Port, were enough to compete with Dongying Kingdom. People at the highest level have an equal dialogue!

"I am Tadaaki Abe, the lord of the Ninja Domain of Musashi, one of the shogun's most trusted retainers. I have come to seek help from Zheng Zhilong of the Beiyang Fleet under the order of the shogun. I hope Zheng Zhilong will see our old feelings of ceding Yokohama Village, Hope to lend a helping hand to us and send soldiers and warships to assist us in countering the rebellion," Abe Tadaaki said.

Sure enough!Zheng Zhihu, who had already had a premonition, sneered in his heart, something is going to happen!
"Our Kyushu Army has always been peace-loving. Unless someone takes the initiative to provoke us, we will not send troops easily. You also know that when our fleet entered Edo Bay and occupied Yokohama Village, it was all because the shogunate wanted to expel us The reasonable interests of Nagasaki Port." Zheng Zhihu said around Wanzi and Abe Tadaki.

"But it is precisely because you have occupied Yokohama Village that the daimyos of the Satsuma domain have an excuse to rebel, and you also declared that our shogunate ceded land for glory, which caused millions of people in Honshu to be disappointed with our shogunate. Given the influence of the feudal clan, how could it be possible to capture Kyoto, Osaka, Kai, and even surround Edo Castle in less than a year!"

"Also, the rebels used firearms purchased from your Kyushu army and counterfeit firearms, which caused heavy casualties to our soldiers using iron cannons. We lost [-] elite soldiers in the First World War in Osaka, resulting in the loss of all the elite shogunate. The shogun also returned to Edo Castle by sea on a ship!"

Abe Tadaaki talked about the failure of the shogunate army, and it really had something to do with the Kyushu Army, and even the Kyushu Army was the culprit behind it!As a result, Abe Tadaaki became more and more angry as he talked.The shogunate, which was thriving in Dongying Kingdom, was suddenly ruined by the Kyushu army. Are you angry? ?

"Enough is enough. This world is a world where the weak prey on the strong. If weak sheep are hunted and killed by wild wolves, there is no reason for it." Zheng Zhihu said dissatisfied.

He is a person who wants to make trouble, how could he listen to Abe Tadaaki's messy reasons.

Abe Tadaaki rolled his eyes.I just said that the Kyushu Army is peace-loving, but now it is the weak and the strong.Sure enough, you can say anything with a big fist.

"The above, I hope that the Kyushu Army can help us when our shogunate is in crisis. We will also be grateful for your kindness in the future, and help your army when your army needs help." Abe Tadaaki said.

snort.Zheng Zhihu snorted coldly in his heart.Even he could see that the situation in the shogunate was not good. He didn't expect Abe Tadaaki to ask for help from the Kyushu Army on an equal footing. Isn't this a dream?

"This kind of thankless thing, forgive me for refusing!" Zheng Zhihu refused without saying a word.

Abe Tadaaki looked astonished: "You haven't reported to the commander of the Beiyang Fleet yet, how dare you refuse our request from the shogunate?"

"Edo Bay is a big place, and I, the commander of the troops stationed in Yokohama, have the power to decide. If we don't give some benefits, we want us to sacrifice our lives. Think that our Kyushu Army is running a charity hall? I don't think it is unless Kanagawa, etc. If you lease the land to us, you can still consider supporting you." Zheng Zhihu said arrogantly.

"Kanagawa... your appetite is too big. Yokohama Village is just a small fishing village. There is no problem for you, but Kanagawa is more than half of the territory of Musashi Kingdom. Do you want to swallow it in one bite?!" Abe Tadaaki said dissatisfied.

"It's said that farts are bigger. Where is the land around our Celestial Dynasty not bigger than Kanagawa? We don't even bother to develop it!" Zheng Zhihu rolled his eyes.
