Chapter 472 Transaction (1)

Soon the soldiers offered the population of Song Qing.

Dai Zong took a look and said, "Bury Song Qing well and send a letter to His Majesty at the same time."

"Yes!"

Soldiers withdrew.

Li Jun, Zhang Shun, and the three heroes of the Ruan family came over and bowed their hands to Dai Zong; "Brother Dai Zong, although Song Qing was killed, where is Brother Tang Long still in Wa Kingdom? What do you think we should do?"

Dai Zong pondered for a while and said: "Our current military strength is simply not enough to fight hard, so my idea is that we exchange the captured Japanese missions for Brother Tang Long."

Li Jun cupped his hands and answered: "Brother Dai Zong, your suggestion is very good, but I'm afraid that Emperor Yunze won't call out Brother Tang Long so easily. Shouldn't we have second-hand preparations?"

"That's right, Emperor Yunze spent so much effort to capture Brother Tang Long, and has been persuading Brother Tang Long to surrender, I'm afraid he won't hand them over so easily."

"Why don't we use the pretext of exchanging the regiment for Brother Tanglong to attract the attention of Emperor Yunze and others, and then send a small team to sneak into Kyushu Island and rescue Brother Tanglong?"

Dai Zong shook his head again and again, and said with a serious face: "The strategy of attacking the west can no longer be used. Last time we relied on this strategy to capture the four northern islands. This time the Wa Kingdom will be prepared for anything. In case they see through our plan, we will Not only failed to rescue Brother Tang Long, but also took advantage of my own brother, it is not worth it."

Li Jun and the others also felt the same after hearing this.

"Well, let's make a deal with Emperor Yunze directly."

Dai Zong nodded.

……

Emperor Yunze was in the palace, discussing important matters with Masayoshi Miyamoto and Itami Matsumoto.

"Now I have sent Song Qing to England to buy iron ore. Once the iron ore is obtained, we can supervise and build a large number of new warships. With new warships, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. When the time comes to retake the four northern islands It is no longer a difficult task. Apart from this, Minister of Defense, I ask you, how many naval forces do you have to mobilize?"

Itnami Matsumoto stood up, cupped his hands at Emperor Yunze, and said, "Your Majesty, apart from the injuries, there are still more than [-] naval troops who can immediately go into battle. As long as the supervision of the new warship is completed and the training is coordinated, it will take about half a year. skilled."

Emperor Yunze heard that it would take half a year to train the navy, frowned, and said: "It takes such a long time, if Liang Guo suddenly launches an attack on our Wa country during this period, wouldn't our Wa country be very passive? Defense Minister, tell me, is there any other way?"

Matsumoto had a bitter face, half a year of training was already the fastest time he could set.According to his budget, it will take at least two years for the new Japanese navy to become a modern navy if it really wants to build up its combat effectiveness.

But if you tell the truth to Emperor Yunze, I am afraid that his position as defense minister should be changed.

Emperor Yunze became even more angry when he saw that Issei Matsumoto didn't speak, pointed at him and reprimanded him, "Just say what you know, why hesitate. I don't have so much time to spend here with you!"

Seeing that Emperor Yunze was angry, Matsumoto said quickly: "Your Majesty, if we want to speed up the modernization of the navy, there is only one way, and that is to spend money to buy the warships they have withdrawn from the British country, so that we can shorten the time and speed up. train."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze's eyes lit up.

As long as it was a problem that money could solve, no matter how much money was spent, he didn't care.

"Okay, just do what you say, Aiqing!"

Issei Matsumoto heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, he had finally been fooled.

Masayoshi Miyamoto was in a heavy heart. Emperor Yunze seemed to be possessed now. In order to regain the four northern islands as soon as possible, he could agree to almost any conditions.

"Your Majesty, although the purchase of decommissioned warships from England can quickly improve the naval combat capability in a short period of time, the cost of money seems to be too large. I suggest that Your Majesty should think twice before proceeding."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Yunze became angry.

"Prime Minister, I don't know that Japan's finances are tight now, but you can see that Liang Guo is bullying us now. If I don't pay, Liang Guo will repair it and attack it again. You tell me, I What is there to resist!?"

Masayoshi Miyamoto was stunned by Emperor Yunze.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became very serious and embarrassing.

At this time, a small soldier hurried in, knelt in front of Emperor Yunze, and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty is not good. The mission we sent to England was intercepted by Liang Jun when it passed through the four northern islands. Song Song Qing was killed, and the rest were all detained."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze's expression changed immediately.

At this time, another soldier hurried in and knelt down in front of Emperor Yunze.

"Your Majesty, there is a man named Li Jun outside, who is said to be the guard of Liang Guodong Island, who was ordered to come and negotiate with us."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunze's expression suddenly darkened.

This Liang Guo is afraid to come to show off his might.

Seeing that the opportunity came, Matsumoto Yinami cupped his hands at Emperor Yunze and said, "Your Majesty, these two must be here for Tang Long. I suggest that we ignore them. This Tang Long is the key person in Liang Guojian's warship building. If this person Being sent back will be a major threat to our Wa country."

Emperor Yunze nodded slightly, but still did not make a final decision.

He looked at Masayoshi Miyamoto.

Masayoshi Miyamoto pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should meet this Liang Guo envoy. Even if we don't hand over Tang Long to them, there is no need to offend them and find an excuse for them to use force against us. Moreover, I can also take a look at Liang Guo's current attitude towards Wa Kingdom during the conversation."

Emperor Yunze remained silent.

Matsumoto rushed to talk: "Prime Minister, Liang Guodu has already bullied us so much, what else do we talk to them about? According to me, we should fight them to the end, either die or destroy them."

Masayoshi Miyamoto glanced at Issei Matsumoto, and said coldly: "Minister of Defense, this is wrong. The English people have a good saying, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Although we are now and Liang Guo is a mortal enemy, but maybe we will become allies one day. Although this possibility is very low, it does not mean that he does not exist. What's more, our Wa country dare not even meet an envoy from Liang Guo. If it spreads, this is not throwing us away The face of the Japanese people? So, Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to meet this messenger."

Emperor Yunze nodded and said, "In this case, let's meet up."
