When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
This statement is an eternal truth.
At the last moment, Tokugawa Ishiaki did not have the courage to challenge the combined fleet, so he had no choice but to let go of the waterway.
Because he knew that once the two armies collided, the situation would inevitably intensify.
The whole situation will be like opening Pandora's box.
The enemy of the Tokugawa shogunate is no longer Yan Qi, but will be added to the fifteen countries of the South China Sea.
One Yan Qi has exhausted the Tokugawa shogunate. If the fifteen countries of the South China Sea are added to it, wouldn't it be like a group of tigers fighting against a wolf?
too crazy.
Tokugawa Ishiaki could not bear this scapegoat that affected the century-old plan. He could only let the waterway open in frustration and let the combined fleet pass.
Xu Tianhu put on a fighting posture, beat the war drum, and said boldly and boldly: "To pass through the waterway, move forward without mercy. If there is any obstruction, we will kill without mercy."
"Kill without mercy!"
The soldiers shouted slogans and passed under the nose of Tokugawa Ishiaki so blatantly without using a sword or a gun.
A full half hour passed.
Xu Tianhu and Tokugawa Shiming met each other and smiled slightly: "You know the truth. Although you lost face, you made some money. Haha, you are 10,000 times smarter than that stupid young man Tokugawa Shitai."
"you……"
Tokugawa Ishiaki is so aggrieved.
At that moment, he wanted to take action and fight Xu Tianhu to the death at all costs.
However, for the benefit of the Tokugawa shogunate, he could only give in.
At least, he couldn't decide about going to war with the combined fleet. He had to give orders from Tokugawa Taiyasu.
Tokugawa Ishiaki just watched helplessly as the combined fleet passed arrogantly in front of him.
However, he had no choice but to welcome him.
Listening to the war drum played by Xu Tianhu himself, a sadness filled his heart.
"There is no such thing as bullying. Baga!"
Tokugawa Ishiaki was dejected, and immediately sent a letter to Tokugawa Taiyasu, informing him of the situation here, and asking Tokugawa Taiyasu to make a decision on his reputation.
…
Yan Qi stood on the shore and ordered the drummers to play a triumphant song to welcome the South China Sea United Fleet.
"Brother-in-law."
Xu Tianhu jumped out of the boat with a proud look on his face.
The ambassadors of the countries in the South China Sea did not dare to ask for help, so they quickly bowed to Yan Qi and said, "Greetings to Mr. Yan."
"You're welcome, get up quickly."
Yan Qi said in a kind tone: "We are all one family, there is no need for these red tapes. This is Mr. Takeda, please get to know each other."
The ambassadors of various countries did not dare to trust him, so they quickly bowed to Takeda Yoshitomo.
"Greetings, Takeda-sama."
"The countries of the South China Sea fully support the Takeda Shogunate."
"Our king completely obeys the will of Lord Yan."
…
The words they said have already shown their attitude.
That is, from now on, the countries in the South China Sea will only recognize the Takeda Shogunate.
As for the Tokugawa shogunate, they did not recognize it.
Yoshitomo Takeda was elated and returned gifts to the ambassadors: "Thank you for your recognition and support. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go to the South China Sea countries in person to thank the heads of state in person."
Is Takeda Michi unhappy?
This was a diplomatic war planned by Yan Qi for her.
Although there is no bloodshed, the results achieved are more brilliant than the bloodshed.
Because this changed the foundation of the Tokugawa Shogunate's governance.
When no one recognizes you, even if you are a pearl, you can only cast your shadow in secret.
When everyone recognizes you, even if you are a stinky stone, you can be polished and polished into a work of art.
This is the power of public opinion.
obviously.
The Tokugawa shogunate had been abandoned by the fifteen countries in the South China Sea.
The Takeda shogunate rose up gradually and became the official representative of Japan recognized by the countries in the South China Sea.
The significance is extraordinary.
Takeda Yoshitomo snuggled next to Yan Qi: "Sir, this move of yours can be said to hit a snake seven inches away, it's so powerful."
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Some people laugh, and others cry. If you laugh so happily, I think Tokugawa Taiyasu will cry with tears in his eyes."
Takeda Yoshitomo smiled and nodded: "Let alone Tokugawa Taiyasu for ten years, even three months will be difficult to survive."
Yan Qidao: "Next, I still have some means."
Yoshitomo Takeda suddenly flashed his beautiful eyes: "What method?"
Yan Qidao: "When you feel comfortable serving me tonight, I'll tell you."
"grown ups……"
Takeda Yoshitomo and Yan Qi whispered: "Whether you tell me or not, I will serve you to make you feel comfortable..."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "I like hearing this."
Yan Qi flirted with Takeda Yoshitomo for a while, and Takeda Yoshitomo went to arrange the itinerary and accommodation for the entourage of ambassadors from various countries.
Yan Qi took time to express condolences to the ambassadors of various countries.
Xu Tianhu came out to brag: "I'm pretty good, I managed to get through Tokugawa Ishiaki's defense. He didn't dare to lift a finger against me, hehehehe..."
Yan Qi gave Xu Tianhu a roll of his eyes: "You are just a fox pretending to be a tiger, don't be a stinker."
Xu Tianhu was unconvinced: "How can a fox pretend to be a tiger? I scared Tokugawa Ishiaki so much that I didn't dare to do anything."
Yan Qi snorted: "Did Tokugawa Ishiaki not dare to take action against you? He did not dare to declare war on the fifteen countries of the South China Sea. So, it was the ambassadors of the fifteen countries of the South China Sea who really made Tokugawa Ishiaki shrink back. Turtle’s sea-fixing needle.”
"Am I right, ambassadors of the countries in the South China Sea?"
The ambassadors of the fifteen countries in the South China Sea were very happy after hearing Yan Qi's words.
Because Yan Qi gave them enough face and put gold in their faces.
They think Yan Qi is really a wonderful person.
"Master Yan is overly praised, but General Xu is still great. General Xu's majesty really frightened Tokugawa Ishiaki. Otherwise, how could it have been so smooth?"
"That's right, that's right. General Xu looks like the God of War. Even Tokugawa Ishiaki was scared out of his wits by General Xu."
"This time, we also relied on the majesty of General Xu to have a good time in front of Tokugawa Ishiaki. We wish General Xu great blessings."
…
Xu Tianhu looked proud: "Brother-in-law, you heard it, they are telling the truth."
Yan Qi said: "Okay, okay, tell the truth! I hope you can successfully complete the next task, to intimidate Tokugawa Ishiaki."
Xu Tianhu suddenly became excited: "Is there still a mission? Come on, brother-in-law, come on, I can't wait."
Yan Qidao said, "I want to help the ambassadors of other countries. If anything happens, I will tell you at the cocktail party."
…
Tokugawa Ishiaki's secret information finally reached Tokugawa Taiyasu.
Tokugawa Taiyasu read the letter and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Damn it, it's so abominable."
"Yan Qi actually launched a public opinion war."
"He wants to use external forces to isolate the Tokugawa shogunate and call a deer a horse. It is unreasonable. It is really unreasonable."
Tokugawa Taiyasu fell into crazy and anxious negative emotions.
No one can maintain a calm mood.
Tokugawa Taiyasu's nails dug deeply into his scalp, and he grinned: "What's next? How to deal with Yan Qi's public opinion war? I have a headache, a splitting headache!"
