Chapter 154 Climb the Absolute Shadow Mountain! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
The sound of the piano is rippling and the singing is soft, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Occasionally, a deliberately elongated "Oh Hey" can shock people's spirits.

Outside the window, the grass is green and the flowers are red, and the sea breeze is blowing.Several Japanese businessmen in kimonos were sitting in the mansion where Zhuge Weidao met with Tokugawa Qizhao that day. While drinking tea, they quietly listened to a woman playing the piano and singing in the hall. All of them were smiling. At the same time, the fragrance of tea wafted faintly in the hall.

The sound of the piano and the singing stopped abruptly, and the woman nodded slightly in salute with a calm expression.

This time at Zongyixi's mansion, all the Japanese businessmen who were originally doing business in Nagasaki came here, and they were not "loyal merchants" who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but all comprador profiteers who had an eye for money! "Loyal merchants" are now in Nagasaki serving the righteous men of the Ming Dynasty. Only those who smuggle in the industrial products produced by Ming Dynasty on weekdays and wrap them in "Made in Japan" wrapping paper (of course, the wrapping paper is also produced by Daming), The compradors pretending to be Japanese domestic products, and those profiteers who bought girls from poor Japanese farmers and trained them and then sold them to Ming Dynasty or difficult, did not dare to stay in Nagasaki, which "respects the king and fights barbarians", and ran to North Korea The grass beam Japanese hall on the ground comes.

Oh, that Zong Yixi is not such a profiteer.He is a samurai, and he is also a foreign vassal of North Korea, a state of etiquette, so it is impossible for him to do such a shameless business.Apart from this Caoliang Wakan, the good business of their family is to train female warriors who are good at singing and dancing and proficient in martial arts, and then introduce them to the nobles of Ming Dynasty and North Korea, or the rich merchants in Japan as "retainers".

Those female warriors are generally born in down-and-out samurai families. The family is poor and has no choice but to be sent to Tsushima Prefecture. And every time a famous samurai family is shattered, there will be a large number of samurai daughters who have lost their support. For the main family, It is a good opportunity to "purchase" at a low price!
At the moment, many people in Japan's Satsuma, Shimadzu and Changzhou Maori have been involved in the incident of "respecting the king and fighting against the Ming" in Nagasaki. Chang Erfan made a punishment, but it should be a matter of time.

So Zong Yixi contacted the representatives of the royal merchants who served the Sa and Chang Er feudal clans today to establish a relationship first. When the Sa and Chang Er feudal domains were confiscated by the shogunate, he could purchase goods at a low price.

Thinking of this, Zong Yixi pointed to the snow-white woman playing the piano, and said to Umeda Hannosuke, the royal businessman of Satsuma who was present: "Umeda-kun, this is my adopted daughter Yui. Don't look at her appearance, she can only be regarded as mediocre. , but she is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also proficient in martial arts, especially kendo and aikido. The Daihei family in Edo is already planning to hire her as a guard."

Umeda Hannosuke is a fat man who always looks kind and rich. Of course, he also knows what Zong Yixi's "female warrior" does?He glanced at the woman named Yui, she was just a demure and quiet girl, her kendo and aikido were probably just a gimmick.

But Umeda also knew what Zong Yixi meant by saying this to himself?He thought that the Satsuma clan was about to end. In fact, Umeda also felt that the Satsuma clan was a little underwhelming, but he was always from Satsuma, and he couldn't appear too depressed at this time, otherwise there would be too many people asking him for the bill.

Just when Umeda was about to force a smile, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then I saw the sliding door move slightly, a middle-aged female warrior had already knelt outside, lowered her head and said to Zong Yixi: "My lord, Daming The Beiyang Fleet is back!"

Hearing this, Zong Yixi was still doing well, but Umeda asked nervously, "How many ships have returned? Is there a Hanwu Great Emperor?"

The middle-aged female warrior was taken aback for a moment, and raised her snow-white face to look at Zong Yixi.

"Concubine Ma, tell me." Zong Yixi didn't take it seriously, and asked the female warrior to answer Umeda's question.

"Hay. A total of eighteen ships have returned, and the Hanwu Emperor is among them."

Zong Yixi laughed when he heard this, then pressed his hand on the floor, and stood up, and then said to Umeda: "Okay, Caoliang Pavilion is coming to business, I have to make some arrangements, please stay with us." .”

There are tens of thousands of Ming Navy officers and soldiers on eighteen warships, and their spending power is very strong!
Although the entire fleet will not be on vacation after entering the port, only half of them will go ashore, and half of them will come to Choryang Wakan for consumption. Zong Yixi can also make a fortune!
Umeda also stood up immediately, and said to Zong Yixi: "My lord, I want to go to Busan Castle."

"To Busan City?"

Umeda looked worried: "Now that the army is in turmoil and the villain is alone, the family must be very worried, so I want to send a telegram back to report that I am safe."

There is no telegraph office or telephone office in Choryang Wakan. If you want to send a telegram, you have to go to the Chosun Telegraph Office in Busan.

"Oh," Zong Yixi nodded, "Umeda-kun, it's okay for you to send a telegram, but the North Korean Telegraph Bureau in Busan City is managed by the intelligence department of the Beiyang Fleet of the Ming Navy. People mistakenly thought you were talking about military matters!"

"Of course, of course I just want to report to my family that they are safe."

"Okay, that's no problem." Zong Yixi waved to the woman playing the piano, "Yuyi, take Umeda-kun to the telegraph office in Busan City."

"Hay!"

The Umeda telegram was just to tell the family that they were safe. There was only a short sentence: "Dalang took me and 18 people to Busan, and the journey was safe." However, when the telegram was transferred to Sailiang Shimadzu in Nagasaki City, it changed Become "Climb the Mountain of Absolute Shadow"!
"My lord, my lord, climb Juying Mountain!"

In the Shimadzu Jin House in Nagasaki, after a rush of footsteps, the sound of the old man carrying a knife came from outside the door to Qiliang Shimadzu, who was carefully wiping a sword in his arms.

The so-called Huaijian refers to the dagger hidden in the bosom.Because the samurai carried the Taidao and Richai with him, he no longer had a third hand to fight with a sword in his arms.So this sword is usually not used for combat, but for seppuku. Shimadzu Qiliang originally thought that he would never need to use a sword in his life, but now he seems to be ready for any danger.

Now he is being pushed step by step by the Tokugawa family to the point of "respecting the king and throwing away the Ming".

But he knew that he was playing with his life, so he had no choice but to play. Because in the previous Jiyi Waterway incident, he had already folded himself into it!Because of Charlie Elliot's exposure, Daming has requested to investigate him (in fact, there is no such thing)!

And this investigation might wipe out the entire Shimadzu family.So now he has no choice but to take the risk, and with the acquiescence of the shogunate, he took some of his subordinates, "hijacked" the airship and went to Nagasaki to respect the king and fight for the Ming-this is a rebellion for the shogunate!

If the goal is achieved and Japan gets a better "condition for being a dog", then his life and the Shimadzu family may be saved.At worst, he could go to England in exile.

Otherwise, he is Shimadzu's sinner!

However, considering the disparity in strength between Da Ming and the Nagasaki righteous men, Qiliang Shimadzu also knew that the consequences of confronting Da Ming would be more ominous than good. If you want to win, oh, or to play a "Zhaoan", you can only use the new The established airship force attacked the Jueyingdao base.

If the main force of the Ming Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet can be paralyzed, then the Ming Dynasty should give Japan a decent "dog price"!

Of course, that may also completely anger Daming and bring a bigger disaster to Japan.

But even so, the Shimadzu family will have the opportunity to go into exile in India because of their outstanding contributions to the British Empire. In this way, the Shimadzu family and their retainers are Indians.

Thinking of this, he put away the sword in his arms, then stood up and said to his old man with a loose knife: "Okay, the time has come, let's go, let's go to the 50-year airship field!"

"Hay!"
