Although Tokugawa Taiyasu was angry, he still remained calm.
He immediately ordered Tokugawa Ishiaki to requisition the merchant ships that the Thirty-six Zaibatsu had no time to take away and temporarily convert them into warships to prevent accidents.
The number of these merchant ships is more than 2,000.
There is a lot of space for loading cargo on merchant ships.
Modified into a warship, it is really not just a fake, the combat effectiveness is indeed considerable.
Although it is not as good as a professional warship, it is still very useful.
Subsequently, Tokugawa Taiyasu ordered Tokugawa Ishiaki to go to the sea to search for fish that had slipped through the chaebol's net.
Whenever you encounter someone who wants to steal money or kill someone, there is no need to hesitate at all.
at the same time!
Tokugawa Taiyasu publicly interrogated the thirty-six chaebol patriarchs in the capital city.
They committed crimes, committed crimes, harmed the people, evaded taxes, and were corrupt and perverted the law.
Many people hate the Thirty-Six Chaebols for plundering the people's wealth and wealth.
Tokugawa Taiyasu's public interrogation of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu did win over some people.
But at the same time, this also offended the interest groups that were attached to the Thirty-six Zaibatsu.
Tokugawa Taiyasu can't control that much anymore, he just wants to win over some people's hearts and minds.
As for the aftermath of killing the Thirty-six Zaibatsu, we will discuss it later, but we can no longer take care of it now.
But he also knew very well that those people who were attached to the interest groups of the Thirty-six Zaibatsu were very scary and a potential threat. Because their economic strength is far stronger than that of poor people.
However, reality forced him to do this.
If the thirty-six chaebol patriarchs are not killed, those interest groups will not be able to use them for their own purposes.
Killing the thirty-six chaebol patriarchs can still gain the hearts and minds of the people.
Naturally, I still have to choose to kill.
Tokugawa Taiyasu hurriedly convicted the Thirty-six Zaibatsu, and then took action at Caishikou, beheaded the chaebol patriarch, and hung it on the flagpole at Caishikou.
Countless people applauded it.
Applause and praise, the Tokugawa shogunate was devoted to the people, and the people worshiped him.
Of course, the Matsukaze family was the only one that slipped through the net.
Tokugawa Taiyasu felt a little comforted when he heard the excited cries of the people.
Next, he cannot relax and must prepare for the battle with all his strength.
He knew that a fierce attack from Yan Qi was coming soon.
Why.
It's so stormy.
…
In the vast sea.
Merchant ships coming from various docks gathered together after several days of ups and downs.
There are more than a hundred ships.
What was on board was all money and supplies, and they were also the family assets of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu.
More than a hundred merchant ships gathered on the islands and reefs.
At this moment, the people of the chaebol clan were in a panic and could only be described as displaced.
They are now beggars holding a golden mountain.
I have no money, but I am in such a miserable state.
Songfengmu summoned the second and third figures of each chaebol to discuss matters.
They hurriedly bowed to Matsufeng Muzuo and thanked him.
"Thank you to the Matsukaze family for saving us from fire and water."
"This time we get out of danger, it's all up to you to inform us."
"Tokugawa Taiyasu is a damned person. It would be a shame to die."
…
Song Fengmu looked melancholy: "Who could have imagined such a disaster from heaven? Although I have informed you, the clan leaders of each clan may never be able to be saved again, so you must be fully mentally prepared."
Many of them are number two figures and representatives of the plutocrats who have traveled extensively.
They had been to Ryukyu with Matsufugi and they were all old acquaintances.
They were puzzled by this disaster.
"Matsufengmu, how could you know the news in advance?"
"Yes, you saved us, and we are grateful, but how did you know the news in advance?"
"Also, why didn't you go to the capital to meet Tokugawa Seuhiko? Did you know the news in advance?"
Of course Songfengmu knew, but he pretended to be dumbfounded.
"Everyone, I didn't know the news in advance. I didn't go to the capital to meet with Tokugawa Seuhiko, not because I knew the news, but because I fainted on Ryukyu Island and was delayed for a few days. When I came back, I wanted to meet Ying. By the time of the Lord, it is already too late.”
"I felt sad because of this, thinking that I would not be able to participate in the dividends of Japan's economic reform. But I didn't expect that it was a blessing in disguise..."
Everyone is still suspicious.
"But, Matsufugi, how did you know the news in advance that Tokugawa Taiyasu was going to harm us? This ability is extraordinary."
Song Fengmu said: "How can I reach the sky? It's you who have met a noble person."
"Noble?"
A group of chaebol representatives were confused: "Who are you?"
Matsukaze said: "Your nobleman is Lord Yoshitomo Takeda. Lord Yoshitomo Takeda has connections in the court."
"When they learned that the Zaibatsu family was going to be in trouble, they immediately sent a message to Master Yoshitomo Takeda."
"Master Takeda did not hesitate to make arrangements. On the one hand, she knew that I was on good terms with you, so she immediately informed me and asked me to assist in arranging the rescue of all the chaebol clan members."
"On the other hand, Mr. Takeda immediately contacted Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan has sent relevant personnel and is waiting at sea to greet you."
"It is no longer possible for everyone to live peacefully in Japan. We can only temporarily avoid Ryukyu and rely on Lord Yan's protection to find a temporary place to stay."
When the representatives of the chaebol heard this, they felt sad on the one hand and ashamed on the other.
Because, after they solved the South China Sea trade issue, they no longer regarded Takeda Yoshitomo as a pickle and ignored her.
But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, it was Takeda Yoshitomo who saved their entire chaebol family.
So ashamed.
Fortunately, Yan Qi is willing to accept them.
Otherwise, they will have no place to stand.
Why!
The Zaibatsu representatives hurriedly asked Matsukazeki again: "What should we do now? We can't keep drifting on the sea. These merchant ships have no way to go out to the open sea and wander here. Maybe they will be discovered by Tokugawa Taiyasu. In that case, we will Oops."
Song Fengmu waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, Master Yan and I have been in contact. Master Yan has already sent a warship to greet us. I believe he will arrive soon."
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved.
Half a day later.
Zhao Yulin came to greet him personally, as well as fifty tall and mighty warships.
Seeing the warship, the chaebol patriarch was so frightened that he peed: "It's over, the warship is a warship. Could it be that Tokugawa Taiyasu sent people to arrest us?"
"what to do?"
"Run quickly, but the merchant ship runs slowly. How to run?"
…
The chaebols were all panicked.
Song Fengmu looked at the merchant ship and laughed: "Don't panic, this is not a Japanese warship, this is a Dahua warship. Everyone, congratulations, Lord Yan has sent someone to rescue us."
"Huh? Really? That's great."
"Scared my little heart out."
"Thank you, Master Yan."
…
The warship finally arrived.
After the disguise, Zhao Yulin stood on the warship and said loudly: "On the orders of Lord Yan, the King of the Great War, I am here to greet all the plutocrats. The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. Please board the ship as soon as possible."
"Hi!"
The chaebol clan members danced happily when they heard that Yan Qi had sent people to rescue them. They shouted that Lord Yan was powerful, and immediately put up the seesaw and ordered people to move the supplies.
It took a long day.
The supplies were just transferred to Zhao Yulin's warship.
As soon as they finished moving the goods, they saw a Japanese warship appearing in the distance.
The cry of killing was so loud that it shook the sky.
"The remnants of the chaebol are here, go and kill them."
"Kill them and eliminate harm for the people."
"Don't run, stop right here, you will all die."
…
"It's over."
The chaebols were so frightened that they cried.
