Chapter 63 The Treaty of Shimonoseki

"But, the rocket that the young master shot into Yuki Castle before should be OK..." Zong Lin didn't give up and waved.

"Oh, that's it, there's not much inventory." Mr. Zhao glanced at Ma Yinglong standing beside him.

"Yes, it's all shot, and there's nothing left." Ma Yinglong answered quickly.

"This..." Otomo Sorin couldn't hide his disappointment and couldn't help but say angrily: "In this case, I don't know when the war will be postponed?"

"It's up to you, but we won't stay for too long." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The Chinese New Year will be next month, and the soldiers are homesick. They have to return by the end of the month. Everything will be done before we leave, or we will come back next year."

"Hi." Otomo Sorin woke up suddenly and hurriedly stood up and responded with a terrifying voice.

"Anyway, the Maori family is in chaos, why are you?" Zhao Hao looked depressed and showed a strong sense of war-weariness and said, "Hurry up and get back to their own houses and find their mothers. You can continue to beat your fat bear."

"Hi." Otomo Solin responded again, but sweat was oozing from his forehead. How could the scheming Lao Wang not hear the threat in Mr. Zhao's words?

He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and quickly stepped down.

"This monk is a little inflated." Zheng Ruozeng sneered when Ototo Solin went out.

"Of course, he was suppressed by Maori Yuan for the rest of his life. If he could win once this time, he would inevitably forget that he could win." Zhao Hao smiled disconcertedly and said, "Look at how cautious he saw me last time? This time his performance has been much more relaxed."

As he said that, he stood up and stretched his waist and said, "The old monk has floated and thought he was the king of Jiuzhou. He wants to deal with the Bear of Fat in the past. I think he will definitely fall apart. If he can't do this victory, it will be the peak of his life."

When everyone in the room heard this, they shouted wildly in their hearts. It came, it came again, and the young master's great prophecy came again - Lao Wang is going to be in trouble in the future!

The reason why Mr. Zhao chose Otomo family as his agent among the three heroes of Kyushu was actually the key point. Before he defeated Mori Mori, Zong Lin was cautious and persevering because he was holding his breath. Now that he won, he was floating, and his breath dissipated, and he began various performances of losing wisdom.

Including not limited to being addicted to alcohol and sex, spending too much money, Lao Wang's behavior, converting to believe in the letter to Chichi Dan, divorced his first wife, fighting with his son, sacking government affairs, and levying heavy taxes... As a result, he was beaten by Ryuzoji Takanobu and Shimazu family one after another, and completely decayed.

But in Mr. Zhao's eyes, his shortcomings are all advantages, and he is simply a perfect agent of Jiuzhou.

~~

Unknown that he was cursed by Mr. Zhao's great prophecy, Otomo Zonglin left the 101 ship with a gloomy expression and returned to Mensi Port with Daoxue.

"Why, Master Zhao doesn't agree to help?" Lihua Daoxue asked.

"Yes." Otomo Sorin nodded, looked at the city where he was dreaming of, and asked Youyou: "How many soldiers do you need to capture this city in ten days?"

As Zhao Hao noticed, he felt that it would be a pity to let Mori and Gawain go like this. If Maori Yuan could be eliminated, these two good sons would be eliminated in this battle, and dealing with the Maori family in the future would be like taking a picture.

"There are enough equipment, 100,000 people, you can try it." Rikadao Xue arrived.

"I want so many people?" Zong Lin was shocked. Fifty thousand people were the limit he could mobilize. Where can I find 100,000 people to go?

"There are Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takake in there!" Tachibana Xue said with a look of course: "Even if the Tiger of Kafari and Echigo Dragon are coming, they dare not break the city lightly."

After saying that, he suggested, "Lord, let's use them as bargaining chips and blackmail the Maori family."

Tachibana Xue is an old-school warrior who is merciless on the battlefield, but after winning the opponent, he is unwilling to kill him.

Seeing that the general he relied on had the same attitude, Zong Lin knew that he could not force it and sighed: "Okay, then don't rush to attack."

"Lord, be happy. No matter what, the vow we made back then came true!" Tachibana Xue smiled and said, "We finally defeated the Maori family and avenged our previous shame!"

"Haha, that's it!" Zong Lin really envied this pure warrior, so he burst into laughter, but his smile was a little reluctant.

Alas, after all, I have to bow to the evil forces...

~~

Without letting Mr. Zhao wait for a long time, the envoy of the Maori family came to ask for peace soon.

Zhao Hao didn't say nonsense, and directly offered five conditions.

1. The Maori family gave up the naval army and the Danluo garrison area was responsible for its maritime security. The security area has the right to inspect the ports in the Maori territory at any time. The Maori family must not shirk responsibility, nor should they violently stop it.

2. The Maori family pays one million taels of silver to the security area every year as protection fee. If they need to take the initiative with the power of the coast guard fleet, they also need to pay additional "fire money"... that is, military expenses. The specific amount depends on the specific situation.

3. The Maori family will always give the Ikki Island under its jurisdiction to the Tara Security Area as a place where the fleet is stationed. The Ikki Island and its affiliated Nishinoshima will have all rights. The islanders of the two islands should complete internal migration within two months. Those who have not yet migrated after the limit is over will be placed under the security area.

4. The Maori family opened Hot Springs as a direct trading port with the Tanluo Chamber of Commerce. In order to ensure that the free trade of merchants from both countries is not threatened, the hot springs are 40 miles around, which are within five miles of Rifa, Japan. No matter where it is, the Japanese army should not approach or station, to prevent the attack.

5. The Maori family paid 10 million taels of silver within ten days to redeem the captured naval army members and compensate for the losses in the war. If they cannot pay, they can use Shi Jian Yinshan to compensate.

After hearing Mr. Zhao’s five major conditions, Kogoro, the messenger of the Maori family, was shocked.

"This is too much, right? Maori Gongshen will not agree." Kogoro forgot to respect and protested loudly: "Young master is really hard, and my Maori family can't do it!"

"It's not up to you to judge if you can't do it." Zhao Hao said coldly: "Take it back and give it to Yuan Jugong, see what he says."

"Our conditions have been made clear. If your Maori family agrees, they will be reconciled, and if they don't agree, they will be fought!" After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Send out the guests!"

"This...hey." Kogoro had no choice but to retreat.

When he was about to get off the boat, he suddenly heard several harsh whistling sounds. He quickly looked up and saw several long bamboo arrows dragging red tail flames, rising from a Ming Dynasty warship not far away, flying towards Mensi City on the ancient city mountain.

‘That must be the legendary Oda City Rocket.’ Kogoro said in his heart. Although he didn’t know why the Ming Dynasty named him the No. 1 beauty in Japan, he had already become well-known for the power of this demonic weapon.

"Don't be afraid, let's play." Haiergo, who looked at Xiaogoro with a pale face, smiled and said, "If it's true, it's a thousand pieces to be put together, that's a spectacular one. I hope you can see it next time."

"No, no, no hope." Kogoro shook his head hard. He knew that the other party was a naked threat, but he could do nothing.

Mr. Zhao stood on the deck, watching Xiaowuro leave, and waved goodbye to him with a smile, just like someone else who spoke just now.

"Young Master, are our conditions a little too much?" Jin Ke couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Brother Jin, remember." Zhao Hao looked at Akamaguan opposite with a gloomy eyes and said coldly: "If one day in the future, the Japanese will defeat us, they will propose hundreds of times more conditions than us!"

"Yes." Jin Ke was frightened. He could not imagine how China could be defeated by the little Japanese. But no matter what, this situation must be avoided.

"Our mission is to make such a thing never happen!" Zhao Hao punched the railing with a punch, as if he wanted to smash the Chijianguan on the other side.

The word "Jian" in "Chijianguan" is pronounced in Japanese as "Ma", so it is also called "Chimaguan", abbreviated as "Maguan". In another time and space, Li Zhongtang, a man who wrote a compensation of 280 million taels and cedes of the Taiwan-Peng Islands!

It's really hard to calm down!

Mr. Zhao insisted on a bloody battle here, and there was more or less the reason for this.

~~

On the city of Mensi, the rockets caused a considerable commotion.

The defenders quickly carried the bucket and ran around to patrol. Finally, they found that none of them were shot into the city, so they felt relieved.

Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa also came to the city wall to check the situation.

"Are they threatening us to surrender?" Kobayakawa said coldly.

"No, they are the messengers who are threatening their father." Yoshikawa pointed to the ship sailing towards Akamaguan on the other side. The "one-word three-star flag" of the Mori family was very eye-catching.

"Why is my father so anxious to negotiate? We can..." Kobayakawa said as his voice gradually weakened, and he laughed at himself: "It's not for us. It's okay for my brother. My incompetent son, I am ashamed of my father's love!"

"Don't say these depressing words." Yoshikawa patted Kobayakawa's shoulder and said, "If you feel sorry for your father, then repay him twice in the future."

"Oh, that's all." Kobayakawa nodded dejectedly, no longer having the same spirit as before. This time, the wrong judgment on the Ming people caused the Kobayakawa Navy and the Laijima Navy to be wiped out, and the blow to him was too great.

~~

Changfu City, inside the city lord's residence.

After listening to the conditions reposted by Kogoro, all the retainers of the Maori family were angry. A retainer named Hatano Naoyi even drew his sword and chopped his fingers to express his anger at the unreasonable demands of the Ming Dynasty.

Mori Moto was not angry, but said bitterly: "It must be Otomo Sorin's bald donkey, who gave the Ming Dynasty people a helping hand, so ruthless..."

Lao Wang sneezed again on the other side, no, it wasn't me, I didn't!

The retainers accompanied him to scold Zong Lin's bald donkey, and they all tasted it one by one, and said in surprise: "Lord, are you going to promise them?"

"I have no choice." Maorimoto sighed sadly.
