Lord of the House

Vol 8 Chapter 25: expropriation

Chapter 25

Chi Zhou has the intention of accepting recruitment, but the Goto Islands are the northwest gateway of Kyushu Island, neither the Saga clan nor other vassal states of Kyushu Island will easily agree to the entire Goto Islands or actually or nominally be included in it. The governance of the Huaidong Army.

There was an assassination first, and the Huaidong Army was famous for sending troops to Matsuura. After occupying Matsuura and trapping the main warriors of the Saga family on Hirado Island, there will be more capital to talk about the Goto Islands.

Even if the assassination was not done by the Saga family, and there are other forces in it, it only means that the Saga family has fallen into a greater crisis.

In order to get rid of the current crisis, the Saga clan has a very high possibility of making peace with the Huaidong army or even temporarily surrendering.

The ruler of Zhuzi Kingdom, the head of the Saga clan, Saga Laiyuan Guzhou came to Matsuura to defend his innocence, and Lin Fu was also very surprised, so he brought Saga Laiyuan in and said to Song Jia next to him, "Saga Lai Yuan came over, but it was unexpected, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"For now, it's a good thing; in the long run, it's not necessarily a good thing," Song Jia said.

Lin Bie nodded and admitted that Song Jia's judgment was correct. Saga Laiyuan could disregard his own safety and defend his innocence in front of him. He had a bit of a hero's bearing, and let such a character gain power. In the long run, it really doesn't count. Good thing, when he saw Song Jia getting up to avoid him, he said to her, "Sit here and meet the ruling adults of the Saga family with me!"

Song Jia just mentioned the skirt and wanted to stand up. Hearing what Lin Fie said, she hesitated for a while. Finally, she straightened the skirt and sat down, but she had a different feeling in her heart.

In addition to the inner court, there is no female official system in the prefecture. Even within the Huaidong Military Division, only Liao Liao and a few people recognized her as an envoy of the internal scriptures.

She usually disguises herself as a man and stays by Lin Fu's side. Even if others see it, she won't break it. At this time, she wears a fresh jacket and skirt, and she accompanies Lin Fu to meet Saga Laiyuan in the face of a woman. What is it? Ji? At least in Saga Laiyuan's view, she is undoubtedly the favorite princess.

Song Jia was thinking wildly, and Saga Laiyuan and Nagasaki Hideo brought in.

Nagasaki Hideo is a surrendered minister, and I have seen him before; Saga Laiyuan is about forty years old, with a thin stature and unassuming appearance. His narrow eyes are sharp and he has an unwillingness to yield.

Lin Fu came here to ask for his guilt, thinking that Saga Laiyuan was a person, but he would not treat him too politely. Come here in person, are you not afraid that I will fabricate a crime against your Saga family?"

"The envoy led the king's division across the sea to punish Goryeo's injustice, so how could he rashly attack and attack Fusang?" Saga Laiyuan stood in the hall. Not weak, his eyes only stopped for a moment on the face of the glamorous woman next to him, and then he landed on the desk in front of Lin Bie, his attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, and said, "Lai Yuan knows this section, and can be sure that the ambassador will not. They will provoke Fusang. It is precisely because Lai Yuan can understand the intention of the envoy to lead the king, why would he send someone to assassinate the envoy and cause trouble for the Saga clan for no reason?"

"You mean that there are other families who are dividing me and the Saga clan?" Lin Fu laughed and said, "It's so fooling you to think I'm a three-year-old! The second day I came to Fukue Island, I was assassinated by twelve scout samurai. I really don't understand, other than you, the Saga clan, who else can move so quickly!"

"Assassination did happen, but it was not the work of the Saga family," Saga Laiyuan said. "Laiyuan also knows that Saga is hard to be cleared of suspicion. Only by coming in person can he defend himself. If no one can It is expected that the ambassador will send troops to suppress the pirates of Fukue Island. Naturally, except for the Saga family, no one can arrange the assassination in a short period of time. If anyone can predict in advance that the ambassador will send troops to suppress the pirates of Fukue Island, naturally There are also people who can arrange an assassination on Fukue Island before the Saga family!"

Lin Fu and Song Jia looked at each other, and secretly thought that Saga Laiyuan was really eloquent. He and Song Jia had long expected that Qin Zitan might be playing tricks in the assassination. Qin Zitan and Huaidong had fought so hard. After a long time, they knew each other well, and it was not unimaginable to be able to predict the movements of the Huaidong Army in Haidong in advance.

In addition, the maritime merchants of Jin'an and Mingzhou have many contacts with the Ping family in the southern part of Kyushu Island. Qin Zitan persuaded the Ping family to make peace with the She family and secretly arranged this assassination, which is even more likely than the possibility that the Saga family sent someone to assassinate. higher.

Of course, Lin Fu would not admit this in front of Saga Laiyuan. Only by putting the responsibility for the assassination on Saga's head can he extort more benefits.

Saga Laiyuan said it righteously, and Lin Bie just asked: "What you said is not unreasonable at all, but who would be full and support me and kill me?"

The twelve scout warriors were born in Fusang, and at least on the surface, only the Saga clan and the Huaidong Army had a conflict of interest on the issue of Fukue Island in the Fusang feudal countries. Can't be depended on.

"It's not to kill the envoy and send a dead man to assassinate the envoy. In fact, someone wants to make the envoy Lei Ting furious, and then borrow the hand of the envoy to harm the Saga family!" Saga Laiyuan was sincere and sincere, and he put on a pretentious attitude. He almost cut open his chest and proved himself innocent.

"The government has come here with confidence," Lin Fu said, "I assume that everything is as the government said. I would like to ask the ruler, if anyone could have predicted that the envoy would lead troops to attack the Fukue Island bandits, and swear that they would not be at odds with the Saga clan. Is it? Or does the ruling adults think that the ambassador is so fooled, and he made up such a person, thinking that the ambassador will believe it?"

Where does Saga Laiyuan think that Lin Fu is so fooled?

The scale of maritime trade between Fusang and the Central Plains has decreased sharply in recent years, but the maritime trade routes have never stopped. Whether it is a pirate or a maritime businessman, more or less, Saga Laiyuan can have some understanding of what happened in the Central Plains.

Saga Laiyuan knew that the young man in front of him had risen in Huaidong in recent years, and he was truly a hero. He thought to himself: Maybe in his heart, he had long suspected that the assassination was not done by the Saga clan. Xingbing's name is nothing more than that.

The battle between the Huaidong Army and the Koreans is imminent. According to the truth, it is impossible to fight against Fusang Island again. Lin Fu's dispatch of troops to Songpu this time is essentially a bluff!

Saga Laiyuan secretly resented that if Nagasaki Hideyo could defend Matsuura Castle, the Saga family could naturally ignore the bluffs of the Huaidong Army.

Lin Bie was cunning and arguing, and Saga Laiyuan couldn't fight for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated.

Lin Fu squinted at Saga Laiyuan for a moment, then turned his head and said to Song Jia: "Go and ask: When will the people sent to Shangyu, Hyuga and Dazaifu get their letters back?"

Lin Bie's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Saga Laiyuan to hear.

After Lin Fu's reminder, Saga Laiyuan was suddenly shocked.

Nagasaki Hideo also understood behind him, and a cold sweat broke out down his spine.

In name, Fusang still regards the Dayue Dynasty as the suzerain state. If Fusang officials commit serious crimes against the suzerain state, the suzerain state will naturally have the right to conquer.

Generally speaking, if the Dayue Dynasty directly used troops on Fusang Island, the Fusang feudal countries worried about their own safety and would unite to fight under the auspices of Dazaifu. Even if the other vassal states would not send troops directly, at least it would not be a hindrance to the Saga clan.

Any suzerain state is not a suzerain state, it's all bullshit, and in the end it depends on strength.

However, Lin Fu added the charge of assassination to the Saga clan, then invited the Ping clan and the Kingo clan to attack the Saga clan, and finally left the Saga clan's land to the Ping clan and the Jingo clan to divide equally. The nature of the matter will be vastly different.

Dazaifu, who has no real power, is likely to stop contacting the vassal countries for the Saga clan, and it is even less likely that the Hei clan and the Kingo clan will take the initiative to share the temptation of building the purple country! As long as the Huaidong Army surrendered Songpu Castle to the Ping clan or the Jinxiang clan to take over the defense, they could withdraw from this incident and concentrate their forces on the Koreans.

All tactics must be based on strength. Without strength, there is no qualification to talk about tactics.

Saga Laiyuan felt sad and sad, but at this time he had to bow his head, knelt on his knees, and said with tears and pleading: "The high envoy must not fall for the evil plan of the traitor. The one who assassinated the high envoy and wanted to harm Saga was not the Ping family. , that is, the Jinxiang clan. The high envoy must not believe the one-sided remarks of the Ping clan and the Jinxiang clan! The Saga clan is truly wronged.

"The Ping clan and the Jinxiang clan can't be trusted, but the Saga clan can be trusted again?" Lin Fu sneered.

"The assassination of the ambassador in Chikushi was not done by Saga, but Saga can't shirk the guilt of the ineffective guards. The Saga family will tend to go all out to arrest the culprit for the ambassador!" Saga Laiyuan said.

"How can this envoy believe the words of the ruling?" Lin Fu saw that Saga Laiyuan was willing to give in~www.wuxiamtl.com~, and his tone was a little softer.

"Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto, please send the envoy to guard them. The Saga family can't catch the real murderer in one day, and they have no face to keep up with the envoy to get back Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto!" Saga Laiyuan Kneeling on the ground, he said earnestly.

Nagasaki Hideo knelt behind Saga Raiyuan, and was shocked when he heard the ruling adults say this.

Once Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto are ceded away, unless a surrogate can be found to satisfy the Huaidong Army, the Saga clan will at least nominally lose their right to rule over the above three places forever.

"Since the governor said so, why don't the envoy believe you once!" Lin Fu laughed heartily, and said, "The envoy sent a ship to send the governor back to Hirado Island. I think it will take enough time for the governor to sign the letter and send it back. In addition, please ask the ruling edict to inform the people of the country, and the envoy will also show the letter to Dazaifu and the vassal states!"

"Thank you for your trust!" Saga Laiyuan felt humiliated and sad, but he had to bow his head to say thanks, and returned to Hirado Island by boat that night.

Under the threat of the annihilation of the family, Saga Raiyuan and Yamashita Keigo and other retainers were indignant, but they had to succumb to the current situation, endured the humiliation and signed a letter, using Matsuura, Hirado, Goto and other three places as collateral Temporarily ceded to the supervision of the Huaidong Army.

On January 24, Saga Laiyuan crossed the sea again by boat and returned to Matsuura. On behalf of the Saga clan, he officially signed a letter to cede Matsuura, Hirado and Goto to the Huaidong Army for supervision. The letter immediately sent an edict to the people of the country, and the Saga clan in Nagasaki Castle immediately canceled the war preparations and martial law in the direction of the Matsuura Peninsula.

After a letter communicated the Dazaifu of Fuso and the feudal kingdoms located in Nara Castle on Honshu Island, Lin Tie released the waters on the east side of the Matsuura Peninsula on the 26th, and released more than a thousand samurai and a similar number of soldiers led by Saga Raiyuan.
