Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Time flies, and Wei Xiaobao and his group of six have been in Mount Fuji for half a month.

Wei Xiaobao secretly guessed that Mao Shiba would soon come to Jianghu Lane to pick them up. So, after discussing, everyone decided to embark on the journey home.

Of course, before returning, Wei Xiaobao discarded all the weapons except the silver bills in the one square meter of the system space, and filled it with precious medicinal materials for cultivation in the medicine garden.

Not only that, he also took down the curtains on Ling Zhao's great-grandfather's bed and made six huge packages filled with medicinal materials for cultivation. Each person carried one package down the mountain.

But even so, don't think of emptying the medicine garden in Penglai Fairyland, as there are still many medicinal herbs that are thousands of years old.

After descending Mount Fuji, Park Ji-hwan rented three carriages, one filled with supplies and two carrying the people, and they rushed towards Edo Castle like an arrow.

In Edo Castle, Tokugawa Koyasu of the Tokugawa shogunate sat upright on a high seat, and below him sat the shogunate's attendants and officials of higher rank.

Minister of Water Affairs Masamizu Oda reported in a serious tone: "General, after our careful investigation, we found that the disappearance of the Osumi Navy and the destruction of the Shiyu Mining Army are closely related to the Tiandi Federation of the Ryukyu Islands."

"Tell me in detail the situation of the Heaven and Earth Federation." Tokugawa Koyasu said seriously.

"In the three months since we learned that the Osumi navy was missing, we have dispatched many top-level ninjas to Osumi County, Ryukyu Kingdom, Iwami County and other places.

According to the information reported by the ninja, a bandit force called Longyanzhai from Longmen Mountain in Ryukyu raised the banner of the Tiandi Revolutionary Army and launched a fierce attack on the Tokugawa Kosato tribe, resulting in the annihilation of the Kosato tribe and the occupation of Shuri Castle by the bandits.

Subsequently, this bandit army established the Heaven and Earth Federation and successfully unified the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.

Now, our two counties of Osumi and Iwami have also fallen into the hands of the Heaven and Earth Federation.

The leader of this federation was honored as the Grand Commander, and his name was Wei Xiaobao.

He was originally Wei Xiaobao, the leader of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui, which opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. After being forced into a desperate situation by the Qing Dynasty in China, he fled to the Ryukyu Kingdom and changed the character "Xiao" in his name to "Xiao".

"Change the name? It's definitely not a good thing if it's hiding its head and showing its tail." Tokugawa Koyasu interrupted.

Masamizu Yuda continued, "Today, there is news that the Tiandi Army has a naval force, which they call the Navy, and has built a huge ironclad ship that can sail without sails, called the Dragon. The length, width and height of the ship are three times that of our existing warships, and it is equipped with a huge cannon that can fire shrapnel, and the range is more than five times that of the Red Cannon.

It is said that in February this year, under the leadership of Wei Xiaobao, the ship cooperated with three modified Fuchuan warships to wipe out Liu Damazi, the pirate leader who dominated the East China Sea, in the waters of China's Diaoyu Islands. "

Before Masamizu Yuda finished speaking, the ministers in the audience started to stir:

"Without a sail, how can you get the power? Do you have to row the boat on the sea with oars?"

"Who is Liu Damazi? The Osumi Navy has fought against him before, but never got any advantage."

"Yes, if the navy has not accumulated decades of experience, how can it be so powerful? Who would believe that a group of bandits can defeat Liu Damazi?"

"These ninjas are getting more and more arrogant. They dare to say anything."

.........

When Masamizu Yuda heard his colleagues' irrelevant discussions, he was not angry. Instead, he shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet. Please let me finish my report first."

Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Koyasu waved his hand and the audience immediately quieted down.

Masami Yuda continued, "I know it's hard for everyone to believe that a bandit navy can be so powerful. I didn't believe it at first, but this strange ship is now anchored at the Oshima Naval Port where my Osumi Navy is stationed. The Oshima Naval Port and Osumi Castle are now flying the flag of the Heaven and Earth Federation with a blue top, green bottom and a golden dragon in the middle. The lord of Osumi, Takagi Shangang, has betrayed his country and joined the Heaven and Earth Federation."

After that, Masami Yuda took out a piece of rice paper and said, "This is the real scene of Oshima Port that the ninja just sent back. The one with black smoke in the picture is the Dragon."

Masamizu Oda stepped forward and presented the rice paper painting to Tokugawa Koyasu, who took a look at it and asked his attendants to pass the painting to the ministers below for review.

"Is this boat powered by firewood? Why is there so much smoke?"

"The ship is so big, probably because there are so many people on it, they are probably cooking."

……

Among the ministers, the Edo Navy Admiral Yamamoto Jusan suddenly shouted loudly: "General, the big treasure ship carrying grain is also parked at Osumi Oshima Port, and there are two of them! There are also two frigates!"

"What? Bring it here for me to see!"

Tokugawa Koyasu was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and he immediately stood up, took the rice paper painting, and looked at it carefully. He knew that if the treasure ship really stopped in the enemy-occupied area, the 400 tons of copper would be wasted, and the grain would not be returned.

Tokugawa Koyasu did not personally go to Edo Port to see the Great Treasure Ship, but he had heard his ministers mention it. "Who among you has seen the Great Treasure Ship? Hurry up and identify whether this is the Great Treasure Ship!" Tokugawa Koyasu said anxiously.

The ministers below looked at each other, and except for Yamamoto Jusan who had seen it with his own eyes, no one else had actually seen it.

"Brother, I heard about it from my son Xiguan, but unfortunately he is no longer with us," said Tokugawa Koshin, whose hands were still wrapped in bandages.

After hearing this, Tokugawa Koyasu was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, fourth brother, we will definitely avenge him."

Afterwards, he said to Yuda Masamizu, "Tell the port manager, Lane Affairs Division Mizuda Masamizu, and the ninja who painted this picture to enter the temple."

"General, they are all waiting outside the palace." replied Masamizu Yuda.

After a while, the servants led the two into the hall.

"Ninja, please tell me what you saw at Osumi Naval Base." Tokugawa Koyasu asked.

"Reporting to the General, Osumi has indeed been occupied by the Heaven and Earth Federation. There is a regiment of about 2,000 infantry stationed there. They are well-equipped with new heavy artillery that is different from the Red Cannon. They fire shrapnel shells and can resist an enemy force that is ten times their size in a field battle."

"The navy stationed a giant ironclad ship, which annihilated all 36 warships of our Osumi navy."

"The treasure ships and their escort ships in the picture were transporting supplies from the Ryukyu Kingdom. One ship was heading toward the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the other was heading toward the northern East China Sea. As for what supplies they were transporting, there is no way to find out. But the two treasure ships returned to the Osumi Naval Port a month later, and after a short stay, they returned to the Ryukyu Kingdom."

"Are you sure these two treasure ships belong to the Heaven and Earth Federation?" Tokugawa asked again.

"Reporting to the General, it is confirmed that the treasure ship and its escort ships are all flying the flag of the Federation of Heaven and Earth with blue on top and green on the bottom, and a golden dragon in the middle." The ninja answered affirmatively.

After hearing this, Tokugawa Koyasu frowned and said to the port manager Mizuta Masazo, "Look carefully at the big treasure ship and its escort ships in the picture. Are they the two that sent grain in exchange for copper?"
