Tokugawa Seuhiko took a deep breath and patted Tokugawa Taiyasu on the shoulder: "As long as I can save you this time, all the efforts will be worth it."
"Thank you Lord Ying for saving your life."
Tokugawa Taiyasu respectfully kowtowed to Tokugawa Seuhiko.
My heart is full of doubts.
However, it was not convenient to ask just now.
Now, with the ship sailing ten miles away, Tokugawa Taiyasu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked the anxious Tokugawa Masahiko: "Master Ying, what happened during the time when I was imprisoned by Yan Qi?" You must explain the matter to me in detail. Especially what happened on Ryukyu Island."
Tokugawa Chenghiko sighed heavily, full of sadness: "The evil man Yan Qi is really ambitious and hateful. He played with me. He interrupted the Japanese trade channel in the South China Sea."
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "Yan Qi interrupted the South China Sea trade channel. I know this, and that's why I had a decisive battle with Yan Qi. But what happened next?"
Tokugawa Seuhiko said: "Actually, we underestimated Yan Qi. Yan Qi's interruption of Japan's South China Sea trade was just a gimmick. His real purpose was to support the Takeda family in power."
"Supporting the Takeda family to rise to power?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu was confused: "The Takeda family has become weak, and the civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty dare not associate with the Takeda family. Yan Qi's support of the Takeda family is tantamount to building a house without digging the foundation. What's the point?"
Tokugawa Chenghiko said: "This is the power of Yan Qi. He took advantage of the Japanese country's interruption of South China Sea trade and pushed Takeda Yoshitomo to a high position. This foundation was dug by Yan Qi. It is said to be solid."
Tokugawa Taiyasu couldn't wait: "Master Ying, please tell me in detail, how did Yan Qi do it?"
Tokugawa Seuhiko looked sad: "It was because I was worried about the South China Sea trade issue that I killed Hua Gang by mistake, causing me to lose an arm."
"Then Yan Qi kept spreading rumors that he had a good relationship with the Takeda family. Only if the Takeda family is willing to come forward can there be a chance of negotiation with Yan Qi."
"At the same time, the Thirty-Six Chaebols on the four major islands of Japan are ready to move and are constantly trying to force me to marry me."
"I weighed it again and again, and had no choice but to support Yoshitomo Takeda to ascend to the throne and make her the first minister of the Taisei Government."
"I originally thought that supporting Yoshitomo Takeda to be the first minister of the Taisei Government would only give her a false position and would not give her substantial rights."
"But unexpectedly, under Yan Qi's operation, Sendobei surrendered to Takeda Yoshitomo, and Sendobei used the opportunity of the parade to kill the Tokugawa three heroes."
"At this point, Sendogai led 200,000 Japanese naval troops and surrendered to Takeda Yoshitomo. This made my lie come true, and Takeda Yoshitomo gained military power and became the first minister of the Taisei in the true sense."
"Furthermore, Yan Qi chose Ryukyu Island as the venue for negotiations. Yan Qi encouraged Mitsui Raku to rebel. Taking this opportunity, Yan Qi took over Ryukyu Island and was named the King of Ryukyu by the people of Ryukyu. This is also part of my trip. Big failure.”
After hearing Tokugawa Seihiko's description, Tokugawa Taiyasu was shocked and stunned, and his heart surged. He could not describe the shock and anger in his heart.
He didn't expect Yan Qi's tactics to be so powerful. It would not be an exaggeration to call him powerful.
Tokugawa Seuhiko said: "Fortunately, this negotiation on Ryukyu Island is not without some gains. Being able to rescue you is enough to make me infinitely happy."
Tokugawa Taiyasu smiled bitterly: "I can deeply feel the joy of the British Lord, and even more feel the British Lord's love for me. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. But..."
At this point, Tokugawa Taiyasu changed his tone: "Based on my inference, Yan Qi is so hateful and his methods are so vicious. How could he let me go so easily?"
"In other words, Lord Ying's rescue of me was definitely not the main reason why I was able to escape. The real reason was that Yan Qi deliberately let me out in order to achieve his goal."
When Tokugawa Chenghiko heard this, he closed his eyes and pondered for a long time: "This is what makes me even more confused. I no longer have any hope of rescuing you this time."
"But I didn't expect that at the last moment, when he was frustrated, Yan Qi actually offered to release you. But what he said about Takeda Yoshitomo interceding for you was just a shirk. It was to allow Takeda Yoshitomo to be in the Manchu Dynasty It’s just to establish prestige among the ministers.”
"But, I can't understand why Yan Qi let you out? This is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Could it be that Yan Qi doesn't know that you are my right-hand man?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu scratched his head vigorously: "Yan Qi let me out, definitely not out of good intentions, but because he had other agendas."
"Moreover, its plot must be very far-reaching and its influence is vicious. It's just that we haven't understood this viciousness yet."
Tokugawa Chenghiko shook his head vigorously: "No matter how vicious Yan Qi is, as long as you can come out alive, I will be very happy."
"The two of us work together, be cautious and step by step, and there is no chance that we will be better than Yan Qi."
Tokugawa Taiyasu carefully thought about Yan Qi's conspiracy, but he thought about it and failed to understand what Yan Qi's real purpose was for releasing him.
He shook his head vigorously, clenched his fists, and cheered himself up: "The Lord Ying is right, although Yan Qi is cunning and clever, you and I are both talented and strategic people. The Lord Ying and I are cautious and act steadily. I don’t believe that I can’t beat Yan Qi.”
Tokugawa Seuhiko suddenly felt confident: "Well said, if you and I cooperate, we will be invincible. We must return to the capital as soon as possible and make comprehensive plans. "
Tokugawa Taiyasu shook his head: "The British Lord's words are wrong. We cannot go back now. What we should do most now is to return to Ryukyu."
Tokugawa Chenghiko was dumbfounded: "Are you crazy when you return to Ryukyu? What if Yan Qi regrets it and kills you?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu's eyes were full of wisdom: "The British Lord underestimated Yan Qi. Since he let me go, he must have made a carefully considered decision. His purpose must be vicious. Under this premise, how could he kill me? Woolen cloth?"
After hearing Tokugawa Taiyasu's reasons, Tokugawa Seihiko suddenly realized and nodded slowly: "I didn't think of this. I just escaped in a panic. It was really too impetuous."
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "Your Majesty, return to Ryukyu quickly. You must not delay important events."
Tokugawa Seuhiko asked: "Now that we have come out, what are we going to do back to Ryukyu? It doesn't make any sense?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu shook his head: "It's not what the British Lord thought. Returning to Ryukyu is of great significance."
Tokugawa Seuhiko asked: "Do you have a goal?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu nodded slowly.
Tokugawa Seuhiko asked: "Who is the target?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu said: "Of course it's those nasty rich people."
"You mean to fix those chaebols?"
"Master Ying, these wealthy people are very important, really important. If they don't support us, we can't let them support Yoshitomo Takeda. When fighting a war, we fight for money."
"You're absolutely right! What can you do?"
"Listen to me and go back. I will have my own way to fix these money-minded donors..."
