Chapter 45                                                             �

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Otomo Sorin murmured. Then he realized and said, "But borrowing a knife from the Ming Dynasty?"

Hoji Jianlian said: "The magic weapon is sharp and powerful, without blood or sheathing. And the 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty are the biggest magic weapon. If you don't see blood, how can you return empty-handed?"

"We should now make good friends with the Ming Dynasty at all costs, and all the conditions of the Ming Dynasty can be agreed upon. Shimazu will never be able to do this. At that time, you can imagine where the Ming Dynasty's magical weapons will be cut."

"After the Ming Dynasty's army leaves, my family will move south again, and the Shimazu family will be greatly damaged. What is the opponent of our family? At that time, my family will unify the Kyushu and may not be able to compete for the capital."

After hearing this, Otomo Sorin felt like the whole body was rolling over by electric current, and his hair was standing up with excitement.

He said, "Okay, let's do it. Arrange me to go to Nagasaki right now."

Toji Jianlian said: "Head of the family, this is too risky. You only need to send an important official to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Why do you have to do this?"

Otomo Sorin said, "How can it be the same? Do the whole set of acting. You must make Daming believe in me completely before they can get into my set."

Those who have achieved some success in troubled times are not ordinary people. Otomo Sorin's decisiveness is not something that ordinary people can do. Do whatever you say and never drag it out.

So within a few days, Otomo Sorin came to pay homage to Zhou Mengchen.

This really surprised Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen always regarded Otomo Solin as his imaginary enemy, but he didn't expect that this imaginary enemy would come without saying a word.

The two armies fought and did not kill the envoy, not to mention that Otomo Sorin was not the enemy.

Zhou Mengchen naturally had to treat him well.

The two sides exchanged a few greetings, and the host and the guest settled. Ototo Sorin waved his hand and someone immediately brought a sack.

Zhou Mengchen looked at the round traces on the sack and the large pieces of blood, and vaguely guessed what was inside. However, Zhou Mengchen did not say it directly, but asked: "This is-----"

Otomo Sorin said: "I heard that the Lord came to Jiuzhou to suppress the bandits. I also visited carefully. Unfortunately, the family was so unlucky that this traitor came out. In order to show sincerity, I brought all these people, which can be regarded as accusing the Ming Dynasty."

As he said that, people asked people to open the sack. Sure enough, people's heads rolled down from the inside.

As if he apologized, Otomo Sorin bowed slightly and looked at Zhou Mengchen with the light of his eyes, as if he was looking at Zhou Mengchen's confidence.

Although Otomo Sorin heard that the army was powerful, he was still a little unwilling to accept it. He wanted to test Zhou Mengchen. Although the soldiers below were powerful, if the head coach was not good, it would not be too good.

He wanted to test Zhou Mengchen and see if he could withstand such a cruel scene.

But Zhou Mengchen did not change his face and said, "thank you, thank you."

If Zhou Mengchen, who had just joined the battlefield, faced with the same situation, he might have vomited. But now, it is different. Zhou Mengchen dare not say that he has experienced the sea of ​​corpses and blood, but he has seen everything he should have seen.

I have experienced the scenes of eating and resting among the dead and corpses everywhere, just a few heads.

Otomo Sorin said: "I have ordered that from now on, all Chinese items in my Otomo family will be purchased from Hirado, and no one will be sent to the sea anymore."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Since the head of the Otomo family said this, I don't talk nonsense. From then on, the Otomo family has priority for trading in Hirado, and various firearms do not restrict the Otomo family."

In fact, what should be restricted will be restricted, but it will not be placed on the surface.

Ototo Sorin nodded and said, "Then I thanked you sir." He didn't say the specific details, so there will naturally be someone talking about them below, and so did Zhou Mengchen. Ototo Sorin turned to the topic and said, "Sir, are the Shimazu family members here?"

Zhou Mengchen's heart sank, and there seemed to be nothing on his face. He said, "Maybe the journey is long."

Otomo Sorira said: "Maybe I don't know that from Japan to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to starting from Hirado or Nagasaki, there is also a person who starts from Seed Island and goes directly to the southeast of Daming through Ryukyu. I think the Shimazu family will not give up this money tree."

Zhou Mengchen said: "What do you think of the Otomo family?"

Otomo Sorin said: "Sir, I have no idea. I am just willing to contribute to the great cause of clearing pirates."

Zhou Mengchen looked at Otomo Solin. He was not a fool. In fact, he had already seen Otomo Solin's thoughts. However, Toji Jianlian said one thing correctly, that is, the army is like a magic weapon, and it will return without blood, and it will retaliate against itself.

Zhou Mengchen brought so many troops to use troops. If only a few military and mates fought, most of the troops would go back just after a walk here. For many generals and soldiers, they would not be willing.

For many generals, the army was dispatched to war, the level of promotion, etc.

If the army attacked thousands of miles and signed an agreement, it would be a very harmful thing to fight. Don’t forget that when Han Xin attacked Qi, Liu Bang sent a lobbyist, the King of Qi to persuade the surrender. As a result, Han Xin continued to attack and did not take it seriously. The reason is very simple. Han Xin led the army and was waiting to eat meat. As a result, the King of Qi surrendered. Who will satisfy the desire of the army?

So the lobbyist was thrown into the cauldron and cooked it.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen is not so extreme, but the truth is the same. So many people have boosted their morale and risked traveling across the ocean just to gain fame and wealth. Now that I have arrived, I will say no to fight, who would be willing to do so?

They may not resist or mutiny. But the next time there is such a war, they will never be so active.

Zhou Mengchen has been considering this issue. He can only say that Japan's strength is too weak, and it can almost be settled by dispatching forwards. On Kyushu Island, the ones that can withstand the attacks of the army are actually the Otomo family and the Shimazu family.

Now that Otomo's family has surrendered, Shimazu's movements are slower no matter what he thinks.

Of course, those who surrender first are rewarded, and those who surrender later are punished. Not to mention, in Zhou Mengchen's opinion, his shock to Japan was not enough.

It's really not enough.

At least Otomo Sorin shouldn't have spoken to him in such a tone.

Zhou Mengchen has a good temper on weekdays and doesn't care about superiors and inferiors. But now he is not him, but the angel of the Ming Dynasty. Otomo Sorin is not qualified to speak like this in front of him.

Of course, if Zhou Mengchen punished him for his rude reason, he would seem narrow-minded. He could only kill the chicken to warn the monkey. The Hirado he directly conquered was too small.

Zhou Mengchen thought of this and said, "Yes. Shimazu vassal is stubborn. His crimes should be punished. He should issue orders to punish the people. Is the Otomo family willing to join us?"

Otomo Sorin said: "I am willing to serve the Celestial Empire."

Zhou Mengchen said: "That's good. In this way, our two armies will advance together to wipe out Shimazu. I will not take any land from Shimazu, but I will use it for Otomo's family."

Otomo Sorin said overjoyed: "Thank you sir."

So the two sides talked about how to design a battle together. Generally speaking, it was a joint attack. The Ming Dynasty directly attacked Kagoshima from the water, and then headed north in large numbers. The Otomo family gathered a large army and headed south from Kitakyushu, and the two sides met at the Shimazu family.

Zhou Mengchen immediately summoned Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to tell us about this combat plan. He said: "This battle is the last stop in Japan, and it is also a battle to establish authority. If it doesn't move, it will be like thunder. It must let Japan see the power of the Celestial Dynasty. For them to not dare to look south for twenty years, we can return to the army with peace of mind."

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou said in unison: "Please rest assured, we will definitely let the Japanese remember the power of Daming Tian forever."

Zhou Mengchen said, "I feel at ease to leave this battle to you."
