All the civil and military officers present had expressions on their faces. Kitahara Sosuke lowered his head slightly, resisting the urge to pull out the knife from his waist and chop Sanada Hitaka.
Wu Nian's expression was calm.
As expected.
The core conflict between the Toyotomi family and the Kyogoku family has nothing to do with the wealth and maritime trade controlled by the Kyogoku family, but only because of Ryukyu.
General Toyotomi, who controlled Fuso, did not lack wealth. It is even easier for the Toyotomi family to engage in maritime trade.
But the Ryukyu fat that the Toyotomi family has eaten cannot be given away to others.
Isshin Matsudaira, a well-documented Ryukyu native, established a navy in Liaodong dominated by Ryukyu people.
It was like a sharp blade slashing at the Toyotomi family.
General Toyotomi, how can you tolerate this?
The interests of the country and the country cannot be compromised even an inch.
Wu Nian said: "I refuse."
The smile on Hitaka Sanada's face disappeared, and he frowned and asked, "Why?" Then he bowed deeply and said, "Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. The general's income from doing business with the Toyotomi family is different from that with Kyogoku. Compared with doing business at home, it will be countless times more."
"What the Kyogoku family has, the Toyotomi family has. What the Kyogoku family doesn't have, the Toyotomi family also has."
After finishing speaking, Sanada Hitaka stood up straight again, showing a proud look.
The corners of Wu Nian's mouth raised slightly, and he said sarcastically: "I am not a businessman. I am the leader of a country. I am ambitious and want to be a personal emperor."
"A true man also says that there are things to do and things not to do. How much more so, the Human Emperor?"
"Of course the business between the Kyogoku family and me is very important. In fact, the Kyogoku family and I don't have much friendship. The person who helped me was Yukili, the princess of Ryukyu. Ryukyu and Yanhan have the same origin. But they were taken over by you, Fuso. Destroyed. As the leader of the Yanhan Kingdom, I am a dignified husband."
"It is a great righteousness to help Ryukyu. Where righteousness goes, the world will follow."
"I will not hand over the Kyogoku family to you, nor will I disband the Ryukyu Navy."
"This guy!!!" Sanada Hitaka's eyes flashed as he looked at Wu Nian deeply. Wu Nian's eyes were very pure and his expression was calm.
Tieniu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others did not say anything, their expressions were very calm.
Cheng Yulian, a passionate man, was already boiling with passion, clenching his fists, and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
well said.
This is righteousness and has nothing to do with interests. How can you, the majestic ruler of the country, see small gains and forget the great righteousness?
Our general is not Lu Bu.
Kitahara Sosuke lowered his head deeply to show his respect. This is the human emperor. If the emperor of Chu had Wu Nian's courage and ambition.
Ryukyu will not be wiped out by a mere Fuso.
Even Hitaka Sanada felt admiration for Wu Nian in his heart.
Fusang also talks about "benevolence and righteousness". As a qualified warrior, you also need to implement your own benevolence and righteousness.
And since he is an envoy, it is his duty.
If inducement fails, then use coercion.
Sanada Hitaka took a deep breath, with a cold look on his brows, and threatened: "General, please think carefully."
"The general only has four neighbors, and now he is his enemy against Meng Yuan, Chu State, and Goguryeo. Do you still want to be his enemy against Fusang?"
"If the general insists on becoming an enemy of Fuso, then the Toyotomi family will send troops to join forces with the Goguryeo navy to block trade at sea."
"If you, general, send troops to Goguryeo, we Fusang will also send troops to help Goguryeo."
"General. If you lose maritime trade, your shipping company income and copper ingot income will dissipate with the wind. And Liaodong's specialties, such as ginseng and precious furs, will not be sold. And how many people make a living on these? ?It will greatly affect people’s livelihood.”
"The general's power will soon weaken. If the power is weakened, how can it not be destroyed under the siege of Goguryeo, Meng Yuan, and Chu?"
Tieniu raised his eyebrows and placed his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. Wang Gui's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand to hold Tieniu's hand.
A sneer appeared on Kithara Sosuke's face.
Intimidation only works on villains. Will a hero like Wu Nian succumb to power? If we had to give in, we would have given in ten years ago.
Just as Wu Nian was about to reply, something suddenly moved in his heart, and his eyes flashed, then gradually disappeared. He showed a smile and said: "Whether I live or die, lose or win, prosper or decline, does it have anything to do with you?"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tieniu's right hand released the handle of the knife at his waist and laughed loudly. The smile is full of pride and ambition, full of indomitable momentum.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were slightly startled, and then couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Yulian, Kitahara Sosuke, and Sanada Hitaka were all stunned.
Before the year of Wu, I kept saying that where righteousness goes, the world will follow. He speaks great truths and shows his heroic spirit.
This sentence is none of your business and your image will be completely ruined.
But it showed Wu Nian's true character.
This man claims to be the master of a country, wants to be the human emperor, and talks about righteousness. Ten years ago, he was just a rough man, a husband in the army.
He laughs, curses and scolds all based on his heart, and there is no royal bearing at all.
If one day, he is allowed to realize his lifelong ambition, sit in the palace of Chudu, and become the king of ten thousand chariots, the emperor, he will still be the same.
Rough man.
It is okay to say that he is golden and jade on the outside but corrupt on the inside. It is okay to say that he is a failure on the outside, but a gold and jade on the outside.
The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom.
Sanada Hitaka was finally at a loss for words. What was the use of letting him speak eloquently in front of a tough man who had no food and salt, a tiger in his heart, and a body like steel?
Sanada Hitaka took a deep breath, then looked at Wu Nian for a while, then bowed and said: "Okay. I will go back and resume my life. General, please don't regret it in the future."
"Excuse me for being rude, but I won't give it away."
Wu Nian said calmly.
Sanada Hitaka simply turned around, walked out of the door, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Thank you, General." Kitahara Sosuke immediately stood up, walked over to sit down in front of Wu Nian, put his head on the floor, and said gratefully.
"No need to say more polite words. Mr. Kitahara. Go back immediately and tell Miss Kyogoku and Matsudaira Isshin. I will not let them down, and they should not let me down."
"Let Matsudaira concentrate on training men and horses. Sooner or later, I will use him as a vanguard to send troops to Ryukyu. First, I will help Ryukyu recover. Then, I will destroy the Toyotomi family and use Emperor Fuso as my vassal."
Kitahara Sosuke was stunned for a moment, destroying the Toyotomi family? This is something they have never thought about. Since ancient times, although Fuso has fallen into civil strife from time to time, it has never been invaded by foreign enemies.
But the weight of what everyone says is different.
Kitahara Sosuke's blood immediately boiled, he bowed deeply to Wu Nian and said, "Okay." After that, he turned and walked out of the door.
Also let Fusang taste the taste of destroying the country.
eye for eye.
"General." Cheng Yulian's blood was boiling. He stood up and wanted to vent his passion and say a few passionate words to Wu Nian. Wu Nian waved his hand, with a strange smile on his face.
"I just thought of something. Please help me analyze it."
