"After Xu Yi, Mr. Taige treated you with great kindness, but you are so ungrateful that you try to ruin Mr. Taige's good deeds. Your conscience is eaten by dogs? Tell me, recruit your accomplices, and avoid suffering more flesh and blood!

"

In a dark and damp dungeon in the Japanese capital of Kyoto, several short Japanese men carrying whips were interrogating a thin Han man who was tied to a cross-shaped stake and covered in blood and flesh.

"Although Taige... has some personal favors for me, Xu... as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty... dare not... forget the righteousness with personal favors! As for his accomplices, haha, such a secret

Things, do you think, I...I will tell the second person?"

Holding back the bone-piercing pain in his body, the thin man named Xu Yihou looked down at the few young men in front of him with a mocking look on his face.

It turned out that this thin man named Xu Yihou was the one who had previously discussed with several merchants to spread the news back to the Ming Dynasty that the Japanese would use Korea as a springboard to invade the Ming Dynasty.

However, due to his previous actions of running around to collect information, although he was carrying the Japanese behind his back, he did not hide it from the Ming merchants living in the Japanese country.

However, not everyone is as fond of their motherland as he is. Among the merchants of the Ming Dynasty living in Japan, there are just a few who are born to be cheap. If they don't do good things, they have to be dogs and follow the monkeys.

A close confidant, Asano Nagamasa, reported the matter.

After receiving the tip-off from these scoundrels, Asano Nagamasa, who was the 'Kyoto Governor', did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the information that Xu Yihou had collected and prepared to send back to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Monkey, who was dreaming of conquering the Spring and Autumn Period of the Ming Dynasty, heard that someone was trying to harm him, and it was Xu Yi who had been a favor to him. He immediately became furious and sent people to Samoa to arrest Xu Yi.

Yihou was captured in Kyoto.

However, although Xu Yihou was just a doctor who was kidnapped by pirates and brought to the Japanese country, and he had already married a wife and had children in the Japanese country, he had a blazing patriotic heart that never cooled down, and he still cared about his motherland.

Therefore, in the face of the severe torture of these Japanese people, even though he was dying, he did not reveal anyone who worked with him to collect information about the Japanese people.

…

"Lord Taige, the crime of Empress Xu Yi has been decided. Please take a look at it!"

Seeing that Xu Yihou could not be made to confess after exhausting all means, Asano Nagamasa, as the "Kyoto Governor", could only give him an "overpass", that is, the crime of smuggling was reported to the "monkey".

"Yuedu? No! Didn't we make a few new cauldrons, and then let the ungrateful Xu Sanguan be fried to death in the cauldron!"

For the 'monkey' who wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty, how could it be possible to calm down the anger in his heart by revealing his secrets to the Ming Dynasty for a mere charge of smuggling.

Therefore, after overturning the smuggling charge that Asano Nagamasa had imposed on Xu Yihou, the angry "monkey" directly ordered Xu Yihou to be tortured by cooking in oil.

"Reporting to Lord Taige, Lord Quan said that Lord Tokugawa has a letter delivered to you!"

Just when the 'monkey' got angry and sentenced Xu Yihou to a cruel punishment of cooking in oil, a close entourage came in holding a letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Hahahaha, what a broad-minded and benevolent person! Come on, please release Xu Yihou, give him a good warning, and let him return to Satsuma Domain and continue to serve Shimazu Hisayoshi!"

What Asano Nagamasa didn't expect was that the 'monkey' who had just cooked Xu Yihou in oil changed his previous anger and actually let Xu Yihou go.

"Lord Taige, this..."

Looking at the happy 'monkey', Asano Nagamasa couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Well, you can see for yourself, hahahaha!"

Facing the confused Asano Nagamasa, 'Monkey' laughed again and handed over the letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu in his hand.

'Nima, I thought it was a big deal? It turns out that it was just a few flattery words that made you forget your last name!'

Looking at the letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu in his hand, Asano Nagamasa couldn't help but despise the 'monkey' in his heart.

It turned out that the letter sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu was actually a letter pleading for Xu Yihou.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had a high emotional intelligence, did not directly plead for Xu Yihou. Instead, he first reprimanded Xu Yihou for collaborating with the enemy.

Then the topic suddenly changed, saying that not only Xu Yihou, but also the Ming Dynasty businessmen in the Japanese country were dissatisfied with the government. If Xu Yihou was punished, it would make us look like we are petty. If Taige pardons him, it will show

If you show your broad mind, everyone will admire your magnanimity and say that you are a benevolent person.

It has to be said that Tokugawa Ieyasu really knew the pulse of Monkey, Lord Taiko.

Because the 'monkey' came from a lowly background, he was not given the surname 'Toyotomi' by the Japanese court until he was fifty years old. Therefore, deep down in his heart, what the 'monkey' cares about most is the respect of others for him.

In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu, a hero who only superficially surrendered to him and whose strength was second only to him, had too much face, so the 'Monkey' stopped pursuing Xu Yihou's crime of leaking secrets and drove him back to Satsuma Domain.

The reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu, a daimyo whose strength was second only to the Monkey, interceded for Xu Yihou, the 'imperial physician' of the Shimadzu family, was because he wanted to take this opportunity to show favor to Shimazu Yoshihisa.

, thereby laying the groundwork for the future struggle for the world.

As for the reason why Shimazu Yoshihisa went to Tokugawa Ieyasu to beg Xu Yihou, it was because Xu Yihou had saved his own life and that of his son with his superb medical skills.

In addition, Shimazu Yoshihisa himself has no interest in the war that the Monkey wants to start, and Xu Yihou's leak is actually in line with his wishes.

Therefore, after Xu Yihou's incident happened, he brought out Tokugawa Ieyasu, the daimyo who was the most troublesome and most valued to the 'Monkey', to intercede. Because of his face, the 'Monkey' would not deny it.

…

"Master, don't worry, even if you are accused of being a Japanese invader after you return, I will definitely send this news to the Ming Dynasty!"

Lin Shaoqi, a Zhangzhou businessman who felt the loyalty of Empress Xu Yi, also gave up his business directly after Empress Xu Yi escaped death and returned to Samoa. Before the goods were sold out, he made a special trip back to China just for the sake of

Send this vital information back to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Junwang, who was also kidnapped by Japanese pirates and brought to the Japanese country, was later rescued by Xu Yihou and became his apprentice. In order to repay his life-saving grace, he even risked the crime of collaborating with the Japanese and volunteered to act as a messenger.

In the difficult region, we meet several times in autumn, and we go on a journey together.

Diligent in advising the emperor on matters of loyalty, and doing his best to exhort the enemy.

Knowing that you have returned to Su Zijing, why should you return to Li Lingqiu?

If Shuangtai asks about things in the world, the people of Daosi are still suffering and worried.

On the occasion of parting, Xu Yihou, who knew that they would never see each other again in this life, wrote a poem full of patriotism and gave it to Zhu Junwang!
