Chapter 522 Invisible calculation is the most deadly
Zhongzeng Island,
A pure black horse galloped, and its horse's hooves fell on the bluestone road, and the sound of the tower tower sounded.
The spy turned over and dismounted in panting, and reported: "King of Satsuma sent Okubota River to the south to guard Katsutoshima, with unclear troops."
When Dong Min heard this name, he was shocked. He turned to Wang Shouren and said, "This man is the first powerful general under the throne of Satsuma. He once defeated the Daming Takawa clan and preserved the Satsuma country."
The Takawa family is a powerful force in the island country. They destroyed the army of the general Ashikaga Yoshikazu and became famous in the island country.
Okubo's reputation was established by defeating his army.
At this moment, the personal soldiers stepped forward and said sadly: "Mr. Zheng, the military rations are not enough to support five days."
After Wang Shouren landed on Xiazeng Island, he led his army to fight hard for three days, conquered the city and conquered the land, and fought to Zhongzeng Island.
Not only do they not plunder the people’s food, but they also give them a day’s rice and grain.
Although it has won the support of the people.
However, it also led to the rapid reduction of military rations brought by them.
Dong Wen couldn't understand why Wang Shouren did this: "What's the use of you wanting the support of the people? They won't join the army to fight against the enemy! Now that the military rations are insufficient, they can only send people back to Shuli City to transport grain."
The large ship needs to carry soldiers and carry thirty days of food, which is already the maximum limit.
I could only send an empty ship back to Shuri City and transport food again.
Wang Shouren shook his head, "Go directly north and attack Shangzeng Island."
There is no food, what should I use to beat it?
Dong Wen really couldn't figure out this scholar and did something incredible.
Sometimes he thought Wang Shouren was very smart, but he was also very stupid to send food to the people of the enemy.
"King Satsuma wants to block us on Nakatoshima, and can bypass Okubo and attack the Satsuma Peninsula directly. How about Lord Wang?"
Wang Shouren shook his head again, his eyes firmly: "You can only continue to go north after capturing Shangzeng Island."
To withdraw the large ship, return the captured territory to the Kingdom of Satsuma.
If Satsuma Country uses artillery to deploy defenses on the island, it will be difficult to land again.
Moreover, Satsuma State is far away from Shangzeng Island.
If you don’t capture Shangzeng Island and go to Satsuma Kingdom, it will form a force of attack on both sides, and the rear path will be blocked, and the entire army may be destroyed.
No matter how good Dong Min is, she becomes furious when she meets the stubborn Wang Shouren: "There are only five days of military rations, how do you attack the Satsuma Royal City?!"
The weather on the island is abnormal, with heavy rains and typhoons often, and the islanders are not good at farming techniques.
Therefore, the island's grain output is extremely low, and plundering is useless.
Wang Shouren said, "Sell the large ship of Satsuma to Japanese pirates in exchange for food."
Dong Wen almost fainted from anger.
The Japanese pirates and Satsuma are in the same group. Isn’t this giving the enemy equipment?
"Mr. Wang...will you fight a war?"
He suspected that Wang Shouren could win before, it must be due to luck!
After all, there are times when talking on paper can be effective.
Wang Shouren looked as usual and drew out his sword: "King Shang Zhen ordered me to command the army. You disturb the morale of the army. According to the military rules, I can kill you under the sword, but I will not be the case!"
Feeling the murderous gaze, I was decisive and without any emotion.
Dong Min was sweating all over her body, and she had no doubt that Wang Shouren would slash him again.
The soldiers around him had their eyes flashed, and King Shangzhen gave Wang Shouren the power of the army, so they naturally had to listen to Wang Shouren.
At this moment, no one dared to speak for Dong Wen.
Wang Shouren took back the sword: "Go and sell the boat. There are many nearby islands, so you should be able to find pirates."
Dong Wen snorted coldly and ordered someone to inform the nearby deserted island to release the news of the ship selling.
When doing business with pirates, the safest transaction on Zhongzeng Island is to have a large army and not afraid of being robbed of ships.
Three days later, a three-masted ship appeared on the blue sea.
The pirates seemed afraid of being attacked and dared not keep getting closer.
Wang Shouren boarded the big ship and came to the sea three miles away from the coast. He was across from the pirates, and both sides were at odds.
"I heard that you want to exchange five large ships for 100,000 stones of grain?" said the pirate led.
The sea breeze blows, and you can hear it clearly.
Dong Wen approached Wang Shouren and whispered: "Mr. Wang, there are only more than a thousand of them, we can grab them."
Wang Shouren ignored it and said to the pirates: "It is the news released by me."
One tael of silver and two stones of rice, one hundred thousand stones of stone, is fifty thousand taels of silver.
A blood loss!
These five six-masted ships in Satsuma Country are worth at least 90,000 taels.
The pirates in the lead shine with their eyes, and the most difficult thing to buy is the big ship. Unless they snatch other big pirates, they will usually be counter-robbed.
With these six ships, they can become larger pirates.
The pirate in the lead said excitedly: "The deal is completed, but how do I know that you won't cheat?"
"You can get your people on board first, then hand over the food to leave."
With an order, the Ryukyu soldiers took off the large ship of Satsuma Kingdom and moved it to Wang Shouren's ship.
Several pirates boarded the ship to check and signaled to the pirates led.
The pirate in charge thought for a moment and looked at the deputy who was beside him, who picked up the horn.
Woo woo woo woo woo ~!
Soon, four three-masted ships and more than twenty small boats arrived in the distance, filled with food.
Wang Shouren looked at Dong Wen: "Test whether there is poisoning."
He guessed that pirates would not poison.
Once the transaction fails, they transport the food back and they can't eat it.
Secondly, there is not so many poisons on the island, and it can be invested in 100,000 stones of grain, and it will not be discovered without color or smell.
Sure enough, a short while, the soldiers came up to report: "Mr. Wang, they are all good food."
The soldiers began to carry the military rations onto the ship, and the pirates helped to move them in order to get away as soon as possible.
After an hour, they were all put into Ryukyu rice bags.
The pirate in the lead said with caution: "Retreat!"
He couldn't believe that Wang Shouren would really let him go.
When the big ship left one mile, two mile...eight miles, the soldiers of Ryukyu did not move at all, and he finally believed that Wang Shouren was a trustworthy person.
The fleet disappeared on the sea.
Dong Wen advised him for a long time, but Wang Shouren didn't take action, and was furious: "Give them the big ship to drink poison to quench their thirst. Lord Wang, what do you mean?!"
Wang Shouren's face was flat: "Send people to the Satsuma Royal City to release the news. Ryukyu joined the Japanese pirates in exchange for five large ships and annihilated Tadji Shimazu's army in one fell swoop."
Dong Wen's face was stiff, her body seemed to fall into an ice cave, and her whole body was cold.
He stared at Wang Shouren in a daze. This man's playing with people's hearts was chilling.
At this moment, he finally understood Wang Shouren's plan.
When King Satsuma heard such news, he would definitely break with the Japanese pirates!
Five big ships are evidence!
Although Tadaoji Shimazu jumped into the sea, he was extremely far from land and probably had been buried in the fish's belly.
This scholar named Wang Shouren is really terrible!
"The Xiaguan had any disrespect before, I hope Lord Wang..."
At this moment, he was already impressed.
Wang Shouren shook his head secretly, if Lao Gao was here, there would be a more clever plan, right?
He took a deep breath, took out Yan Chengjin's letter, took a look, and then put it back without opening it.
"Mr. Dong doesn't have to be too polite." He turned around and continued, "I will order you to rest for two days and attack Okubo!"
Dong Wen's pupils shrank slightly and he nodded heavily.
Although Okubo was invincible, he had confidence in Wang Shouren.
Chapter completed!
