Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 468 Flies
Negotiations were soon over.

None of the people on the small boats on either side are big figures, and they certainly cannot make decisions on compensation matters.

But at least the negotiations meant a brief peace.

It also means that the black flag navy is rushing to Iki Island with an oppressive attitude.

The strait in front of the island is only about sixty miles away. Two hours later, the main force of the Black Flag Navy arrived above Iki Island.

The Japanese navy had fled a lot before, and now there are more than 130 ships left in the southern part of the island. During this period, the two sides dispatched small boats to negotiate and decided a temporary truce. Let's talk for a while.

Nabeshima Mitsushige can't make the decision about compensation and garrison, and even said that his father, Lord Hizen, can't make the decision when he grows up.

And be.

His father is not here.

It just so happened that I rushed to participate in the work.

Although due to geographical reasons, the distance is far away, many daimyos under the Hizen domain were allowed to participate in the service for half a year, to be accounted for in the state for one year, and to be accounted for for more than a year in half a year.

Because of the difficult traffic, the Tsushima Fuzhong Fan only took four months to participate in the service, and three years in the Guoxu account.

So Nabeshima Mitsushige sent someone to say that this matter needs to be waited until his father comes back, and Hizen-fan can hide it from the higher-ups a little bit, just like he did with the Futian Bay naval battle.

garrison?

It was a settlement of merchants living in Renheiqi.

Lin Wang was naturally a little unhappy when he heard the news, and made it clear that the money for compensation must be sent first, otherwise the Black Flag Navy would have to control Iki Island first and then wait for Wa Kingdom's decision.

In fact, the Black Flag Navy has landed on Iki Island and has taken control of a port in the northern part of Iki Island, as well as two nearby villages.

Many Japanese soldiers who fled here during the naval battle yesterday stayed on the island, and the two armies were confronting each other.

Such a declining situation is naturally full of pressure for Nabeshima Mitsushige, who has contacted the various daimyos under the Hizen domain to send troops in the name of the eldest son of the Hizen domain.

After scolding the samurai who slapped Soyoshi, Mitsushige Nabeshima originally wanted to collect some money and send it to Heiqi first, and wait for his father's reply or Edo's response.

But at this time, the Hizen family was completely alarmed.

Two of the nine elders came, but now six came, and the rest were also paying attention to the collision on the sea.

"You can't give in to the black flag savages! This time is different from the red-haired Portuguese a hundred years ago!"

"This time it's not just a group of pirates from the Matsuura family! It's not just two merchant ships on the other side! My Hizen country can't just succumb to the barbarians so easily!"

The power of the family elders is no less than that of Nabeshima Mitsushige.

But under their fierce rhetoric, Hizen Fan still sent Heiqi compensation money.

It's just not much, only 2000 taels, far from the 5 taels of silver Lin Wang requested.

The envoy who sent the money said that the money was being raised in the rear, and the transportation by sea and land was also difficult, so we had to wait.

Lin Wang was not angry when he heard the words, and asked Hizen Fan to send a little bit of silver every day, and the silver sent was not within the compensation of 5 taels of silver.

But what he didn't know was.

The Hizen Clan has indeed raised a lot of money, and it is currently the most prosperous in the entire Kyushu region, and the Hirado Clan and Nagasaki Port, which has the most ships, are hiring large ships in the port to fight against the black flag navy. .

Among these ports, the Portuguese merchant ships, the Dutch merchant ships, and the Ming smuggling armed merchant ships are actually superior in hull structure and even size to the main Japanese warships.

It's just that during the Edo period, Wa was quite peaceful at home and abroad, and it was always a mainland country, and the country was still locked.

Naval warfare innovations are also limited to operations such as imitating a Karak galleon and putting the Fron machine on the warship.

So they ignored a group of merchants in Nagasaki Port who were willing to sell anything as long as they had money. They didn't need any ocean-going warships and naval warfare technology.

But it is a very wise choice to hire these armed merchant ships at this time.

At this time, the Dutch and Portuguese galleons and carrack galleons are all good battleships as long as the firepower ratio is in place. Although the armed merchant ships have insufficient firepower, they are excellent compared to the Japanese warships.

There are also large ships such as bird ships in the smuggling ships of the Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the large number of ronin warriors and pirates in the two places, the Hizen Domain can pull up a mercenary army with a firepower ratio that exceeds their regular navy in a relatively short period of time.

In the eyes of the elders and vassals of the Hizen clan, it is hard to say whether this mercenary army can defeat the Black Flag navy with the Hizen clan's navy, but at least it is absolutely possible to persist until the shogunate responds to this matter!
Therefore, when Lin Wang stayed in the northern part of Iki Island for the third day, he found that Wa Kingdom hadn't sent any money today.

Send someone to ask, and the other party asks the Black Flag Navy to leave Iki Island and return to Tsushima Island to wait.

Lin Wang was wondering what kind of confidence the opposite Wa country had to dare to speak like this.

Three galleons and a carrack appeared in the sight of the Black Banner Navy.

The shape of the ship, which resembled a double-deck bird boat, attracted the attention of the black flag sailors, and Lin Wang also recognized them.

The Portuguese and the Dutch did not regard Liaodong as a forbidden area because of the previous conflict with Black Flag. On the contrary, a large number of new and advanced things in Liaodong continued to attract them, making them continue to flock to Gaizhou and Black Flag City.

Even though some of their missionaries were caught and corrupted for their blind resistance, and many of them were struggling in the mines, they still kept going.

Under Zhu Youjian's order, Liaodong also began to restrict their areas of operation and the commodities they can buy.

Even so, they are still trying to negotiate with Black Flag.

As the black flag took control of the capital, and after Zhu Youjian and Tang Ruowang met, Catholicism also spread to Liaodong.

Jiao Boqing is located in Shengjing. These Portuguese and Dutch people will give gifts to him and his subordinate officials at the sticky pole every once in a while. They want to gain a higher social status in the black flag and request to lift the restrictions on their trading goods. .

Recently, they are also trying to win the favor of the regent Wuerte or the Qing emperor Fulin through Catholic channels or in the name of tribute.

After the force breakthrough failed, there was only so much they could do.

"It seems to be generous."

Lin Wang has a xenophobic attitude towards people of other races except his slaves, especially the appearance of the Portuguese and the Dutch is very different from that of East Asians.

And this malice seemed to spread to the Portuguese armed merchant ship in the distance across the air.

"Captain, the natives of Nagasaki Port say that the warship on the opposite side can emit fierce flames tens of meters away."

"possible."

Mauricio, the captain of the Portuguese armed merchant ship, put away his binoculars and looked relaxed: "But we don't need to rush so close, and we don't even need to fight the barbarians on the opposite side! Haha! Hizen country just wants to scare off with a large number of ships Just face to face!"
