"Satsuma Domain, Shimazu retainer, Yanagine!"
"I am here on the orders of the Patriarch. What is your name?"
He used Japanese.
But Zheng Zhibao didn't sound like he was under any pressure at all.
Who made me have a Japanese sister-in-law at home?
Zheng Zhibao put his hands behind his back, straightened his body and shouted loudly.
"My grandfather is Zheng Zhibao, the captain of the Ming Dynasty's South China Sea Navy!"
"My uncle has ordered that Shimazu Hirotada can return alive, but he can only take a small boat!"
"All ships that can carry more than 20 people will be taken over by our Ming Dynasty South China Sea Navy!"
"If you dare to say no, you will be buried in the sea!"
Unlike Liu Gen, Zheng Zhibao speaks Chinese!
When he was a maritime merchant, he always used Japanese when dealing with these Japanese, but this time, he didn't want to use Japanese anymore!
How can that clumsy and awkward language be as smooth as the standard Ming official language?
Even if I have to speak Japanese, I will only speak it to my sister-in-law in the future...
As for the others, sorry, he doesn’t deserve it!
Liu Gen was completely confused. He didn't understand what Zheng Zhibao meant at all!
In order to ensure that he could give Shimazu Tadahiro a satisfactory explanation after returning, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask in the little Chinese he knew.
"What kind of work are you talking about?"
Zheng Zhibao turned hostile instantly.
"Don't understand? Then go back and get someone who can understand!"
"roll!"
Roll, Liu Gen understood...
But he didn't dare go back!
Seppuku sounds good!
This is not something a human would do, right?
I don't know which bastard came up with this trick. He actually wants to use this method to prove the samurai spirit. Isn't that pure nonsense?
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, pulled out the dagger and put it to his neck.
Then, with a strong stroke...
If there is a next life, I must learn a foreign language well no matter what...
Bright red blood gushed out from the wound like a spring.
Liu Gen looked back at the lucky ship where Shimazu Tadahiro was a few hundred meters away, and a look of sarcasm appeared on his face.
Fuck you, lord!
Grandpa is waiting for you downstairs...
His actions not only stunned Zheng Zhilong, but also the Japanese sailors who brought him here.
Wow.
The death was so clean, without any dragging of the feet...
But they don't know that the process of seppuku at this moment is so abnormal that it can't be described as perverted!
Cut open the stomach and pick out the internal organs with the tip of the knife...
That feeling...it's damn scary just thinking about it!
Liu Gen's body fell into the sea, and the sailor who brought him over had to turn back.
After hearing the news, Shimazu Tadahiro simply cursed the man three times as a waste and then sent out a second samurai.
However, before the warrior left, all his weapons were taken away...
Chapter 557 Can we chat?
Ten minutes later, the second warrior returned gloriously.
Shimazu Tadahiro asked before he could speak: "What did the Akito say?"
The warrior knelt down with a plop, and without saying a word he unbuttoned his clothes to expose his belly.
After doing all this, he raised his head and said through gritted teeth with an unwilling look on his face.
"Lord, I didn't understand what you said. Please grant me seppuku!"
"Baka! Trash!"
Shimazu Tadahiro was furious and kicked the samurai, causing him to roll several times on the ground.
Then he threw the dagger over.
"Go to hell!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at him and asked other people.
"Who can understand Mingren's words?"
"stand out!"
A dozen warriors on the deck took a step back in unison, except for a very ugly guy who was pushed out.
Shimazu Tadahiro didn't care how he got out. He put on a friendly look and walked up to the man and patted him on the face twice.
"well!"
"Hua Liu-san, you go!"
"If you can get Mingren to withdraw, my daughter will marry you when we return!"
The guy called Hualiusang turned around and looked at his companions, with a thousand words of alpaca to say in his mind.
But his companions all looked at the sea in the distance and no one paid any attention to him.
A few minutes later, Zheng Zhibao looked at Hua Liusang in front of him and teased.
"Can we chat?"
"Yes, yes, we can chat..."
Hua Liusang could indeed understand the official language of the Ming Dynasty and nodded hurriedly, fearing that he would be sent back to commit seppuku if he answered slowly.
"How's that guy from before you?"
"Ichiyoshi-san failed to complete the feudal lord's mission and has committed seppuku..."
"Oh, well, say hello to his body for me. This is not my fault. He can't understand what I'm saying. Am I right?"
"Hai! Whatever the adults say is right......"
This guy's attitude made Zheng Zhibao feel very good!
So he repeated his previous request.
Later, this request reached the ears of Shimazu Tadahiro.
People can leave, but the boat must stay.
This put him in a dilemma.
He really wanted to agree. Even without these ships, he could still sit on the position of lord of Satsuma Domain with the help of his samurai.
But if he left all the large ships behind, the warriors under his command would not be able to take them back.
In this case, even if he returns to Kagoshima, he will end up being swallowed up by other daimyo...
But if I don't do it, when the Ming army's artillery fires again, this day next year will become my death anniversary...
Shimazu Tadahiro was in a very upset mood.
Looking back, he saw the body of Ichiyoshi-san left on the deck after he had committed seppuku. He reached out to pick up the blood-stained dagger and started chopping at the body.
While chopping, he was shouting and cursing hysterically.
"idiot!"
"idiot!"
"idiot!"
"........."
In the distance, Zheng Zhibao watched Shimazu Tadahiro's reaction through a telescope, and felt relieved to see him so mad...
After waiting for a while and seeing that Hua Liusang did not come back to deliver the message, he picked up the flintlock and fired a shot from a distance.
"boom!"
The crisp sound of gunfire woke Shimazu Tadahiro from his madness.
Standing there, looking at the Ming army fleet that almost covered the entire sea, his face turned as pale as death.
"Go tell Mingren that their goal has been achieved!"
When Shimazu Tadahiro said this to Hanayagi-san, his heart was bleeding.
But what can be done?
In the face of artillery like that of the Ming people, all struggles are in vain!
Even if we put aside the artillery, the number of warships of the Ming army was several times greater than that of their own side.
Starting a fight is an act of suicide...
So, he didn't even ask Mingren how to guarantee that he would actually let him go after getting the ship!
Because it’s useless to ask!
Zheng Zhibao reported his choice to Zheng Zhilong, who then ordered a gap to be opened in the encirclement.
Shimazu Tadahiro, along with a small group of his samurai, abandoned the galleon and the Ataka ship and left in disgrace on a small boat.
Looking at their backs as they left, Zheng Zhibao asked with some confusion.
"Brother, why don't you just kill them here and let them go back?"
Zheng Zhilong asked back, "If you were Shimazu Hirotada, would you be willing to accept this?"
Zheng Zhibao immediately glared and said, "That's definitely not possible!"
"But what can he do if he is unwilling? He has lost his boat, so what else can he do?"
Li Guozhu smiled and shook his head: "He has no boat, but other daimyo have boats."
Zheng Zhibao didn't take it seriously and curled his lips in disdain.
"Just them?"
"The only people Shimazu Tadahiro could contact are probably a few daimyo near Satsuma, right?"
"The Kato family of Kumamoto Domain, the Arima family of Nobeoka Domain, and the Matsuura family of Hirado Domain."
"But my sister-in-law's father is a retainer of the Matsuura family. They can't help Shimazu to deal with us, right?"
"Even if they really come, these three companies together only have 200 to 300 ships at most. How can they be our opponents?"
Zheng Zhilong walked to the side of the ship with a smile, put his hands behind his back, looked in the direction of Kagoshima, and said meaningfully.
"Shimadzu certainly knows that the fleets of the three of them combined are no match for us."
"But will Shimazu care?"
"You are still too lazy. Use your brain and think about it!"
"Pass the order down, drop anchor, and let's continue fishing!"
As he said this, he patted Zheng Zhibao on the shoulder twice, then turned and walked towards the cabin.
