Chapter one hundred and thirty four.

"Last August, Japanese pirates attacked our Xiongjin Shipyard, and in February this year, they attacked again!"

Mao Jue held his arms and narrowed his eyes dangerously, examining the three visitors from Japan.

The old woman seemed to be unsurprising and was only silent for a moment. Instead, Chiyohime, who had sewed a set of kimonos for herself with a cloth and combed her hair into a bun like a Japanese noble girl, immediately smiled and shouted in surprise.

"It's Sister Maori. She came to save us and beat this big villain to death!"

She used Japanese, but she had been on guard against this move for a long time. Mao Jue also had a translation around her. God knows how many Chinese language Adrena could do. She wrapped herself under a black cloak, just like Miladi, the bad woman among the three musketeers, lying in Mao Jue's ear and saying softly.

"The surname she just mentioned is Maori!"

As he became more energetic, the old lady immediately poked Chiyohiko hard, and the little girl almost burst into tears. What's interesting is that she hurriedly leaned against Yuan Chonghuan's arms, who was so angry that her face turned purple. The distance between the two was a bit ambiguous.

Maori family!

I don’t know much about Japanese history, but I still know a little about the village chiefs of the Warring States Period in Japan when they fight. This family is extraordinary and the navy is unique. Even the sixth day demon king Oda Nobunaga can do anything about it. It is a bit of a basis for saying that the Japanese pirates belong to their family.

But although the Maori family belonged to the Mitsunomi Ishida in the Sekihara War, the Tokugawa family did not kill them all and only reduced the ban. Later, the Maori family developed into the famous Shigeshu family, which played an important role in the reverse movement at the end of the Japanese Maku. If they were from their family, they would not be able to hide in the Kyoto like a mouse!

And are the Maori family so rich?

"Open the skylight and speak out! The Japanese pirates occupied Jeju Island. The Lee Chao asked this general to help fight. I was annoyed after fighting. Since I was from the Maori family, if I crossed the sea to send you back to the Maori family, how much ransom can you pay?"

"Mao Jue, you are the deputy general of the court! What is the difference between doing this and robbers and kidnappers? You have lost all the face of the court!"

Yuan Qianqing couldn't sit still anymore and angrily smashed the teacup at Mao Jue's feet. His old face was twisted like an earthworm.

"Why did I be blind at the beginning? I thought that putting you in Dongjiang could be the strong guardian of the imperial court. People like you are obsessed with interests and are obsessed with money. They are simply scum on the world!"

"It's me, a scum on earth!"

The tea was caught off guard and his anger flashed away. Mao Jue suddenly laughed like a nervousness, reached out to cut the teacup, wiped it clean with his sleeves, and put it back on the table. In the silly girl Chiyoji nodded in agreement, Yuan Chonghuan's angry and astonished expression, Mao Jue picked up his arm again.

"I'm just thinking about money, so what? Everything about me is made with my hands and trying my best to earn. I won't let my women go hungry! I won't let my leaders starve! But Master Yuan, what are you capable of? In the court, you can't quell the war! You can only consume money and food, and at home, you can't let your wife and children have enough food, but you have to rely on your wife to support you! You still have the intention to have an ambiguous relationship with this Japanese girl. What qualifications do you have to throw this teacup if you are a coward who eats a soft meal!"

"If I were you, I would have been so embarrassed!"

His fingers poked his chest, Mao Jue said contemptuously, and Qianyoji's face was full of confusion, while Yuan Chonghuan's old face turned red like purple eggplant. He grunted for a long time, but he didn't hold up a word. He swung his sleeves barefoot and rushed out of the house angrily, not knowing where he ran.

"Official!"

In screaming, Mrs. Yuan and Zhao wanted to go out to chase her, but Mao Jue waved his hand.

"Don't worry, two sisters-in-law. What can he do if he leaves you? It won't take long to get cold and he has to come back!"

“How about thinking?”

Without the annoying thing, the negotiations could continue, and Mao Jue's eyes fell on the old lady who knew martial arts again.

Who was the most famous rich man in the late Ming Dynasty? Zheng Zhilong! Where did most of Zheng Zhilong’s wealth come from? It came from doing business with Japan! If you want to take the geographical location, you are not much worse than Zheng Zhilong. If you send these three people back to the Maori family, you can exchange personal favors, Mao Jue doesn’t mind having three less time to eat idle meals.

The old lady thought for a long time before nodding solemnly.

"If the general sends us back to Jeju Island, his old life will make our navy retreat immediately, and will receive a large-scale 1,000 yuan and a small-scale 20,000 yuan!"

The big judge was the kind of Japanese gold coins that Mao Jue copied out last time. The big judge was ten taels and the small judge was one tael. Then, it was another 30,000 taels of gold coins. At this time, the gold and silver exchange rate was almost one in one, which was 240,000 taels of silver. This price was very satisfying to Mao Jue.

However, he shook his head.

"I can send you back, not to Jeju, but to Changzhou!"

Just kidding, Mao Jue is now a person with a status, how can he talk to his minions? Negotiation is also a face-to-face conversation with the head of the Changzhou family. Who knows whether these Japanese pirates can convey the trade intention he wants to express and dump goods into the shogunate, which is more important than the 240,000 taels of silver.

His eyes flashed clearly, and the old lady shook her head dullly.

"No need to bother the general! Our country has a long journey and a long journey, and the road is difficult. The general just sends us to Jeju!"

"Haha, the road is long and the water is long? It just so happens that a large ship will be launched to try sailing, so that's it!"

After waved his hand, Mao Jue was not too good to her. He turned around and wanted to leave. He had already seen that the three of them were abnormal. Sure enough, before Mao Jue could walk out of the door, the old lady of the martial arts master was already roaring behind her back.

"If you send us to the Maori family, you won't even think about getting a piece of silver! And you will become the enemy of all Japan! Faced with our endless anger and pursuit!"

"Haha, that's even more interesting!"

Turning around, Mao Jue shrugged indifferently.

"I like to take risks. I'm going to see if I send you back to Maori's house. Can you get one or two gold or more? The anger of the whole of Japan? I forgot to tell you that the Japanese pirates who attacked my shipyard were covered with tung oil and hung on the beach. I heard that the leader is still a woman!"

Regardless of the old lady of the martial arts master accidentally knocking over the cigarette rolls, Mao Jue hummed and turned around and left, and took his subordinates out of the house directly.

People are really used to it. Mao Jue's two wives who had just left the Yuan family didn't even wipe their hands. He took the coat and shoes and anxiously searched for Yuan Chonghuan. He didn't leave at the first time and sent cigarettes to several of his subordinates. Mao Jue leaned against the shaft of the car, looking at the three people sitting speechless in the room.

"Jiang Ye, do you really want to send the three of them back to Maori's house?"

"What a joke, it's so rare!"

It is probably a cliché, boring, and vulgar family power struggle. I love young children and want to pass the throne. The elder brother is jealous and rebellious. Anyway, it is the power struggle within the Maori family. This silly girl and that timid boy are in hand. Mao Jue has the capital to blackmail the Maori family. If it is soft, it would be very comfortable to knock out tens of thousands of taels of silver a year as pocket money. If it is hard, it is not impossible to collude with the shogunate and establish the kid of the shogunate as the puppet head of the family and subvert his Maori family.

It’s better to send it back directly and exchange for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"Jiang Ye is really like a profiteer!"

I was really afraid that Mao Jue would get angry and lose money. Adrena, the "bad woman", couldn't help but relax, and then shook her head in a funny way.

"Don't you just like profiteers? Pooh!"

While the girl was not paying attention, Mao Jue suddenly came to steal the food. The foreign girl didn't react. The guard next to him almost sprayed out the smoke and hurriedly tilted his head and eyes to the side, as if he hadn't seen anything, and it was so fake that it was fake.

Even though he was a little bit light, Adrena made her pretty face turn red. After a long time, she rolled her eyes so charmingly that she smashed her back.

…………

Since it is a rare item, Chiyoji, the silly girl, has to make plans for a long time. What is in front of you is to make the Li North Korean Li Yuanyi quickly back. You must know that this time, Mao Jue lost more than 114,000 taels of salary, weapons and food, and the expansion of the army costs more than 50,000 taels of telephone number. He needs to find a place to fill the hole quickly.

Emperor Chongzhen really said that he was turning his elbow out. On March 12, the urgent order of the Ministry of War had arrived at Pi Island and ordered Dongjiang Town to send troops to help the vassal state Li's North Korea take back Jeju Island. The military expenditure was not mentioned, the only thing he mentioned was that he could not lose the face of the court. In that tone, even if Mao Jue died, he could not let the Goryean soldiers lose a cold hair.

Fortunately, before that, Mao Jue had already set out, otherwise he would have been angry to death.

Eight regiments left three to guard Yizhou and Tieshan, and the remaining five were dispatched by the entire army. However, Mao Jue only brought more than 1,000 yuan this time. He borrowed three lucky ships from Mao Wenlong, more than 1,000 yuan warships, and more than 30 yuan of Cangshan mail ships and so on. All the supplies were placed on the ship. Tieyi's spring farming is about to be imposed, and the manpower is tight. Mao Jue doesn't want to owe him because of Li Yuanyi. Besides, the Li family will definitely send troops, and they will not be able to use them in war. Let's give the Ming army a resistance to the East and West Chief?

On the eighth day of the third day, Mao Jue's army had already arrived in Xiongjin by sea. Standing on the deck, Li Yuanyi's Li Korean Corps had not seen it, but on the beach, a row of giants came into view first. The towering tail building, a dozen meters of three-masted sails, a wide canvas covering the sky and the sun, and also used Chinese hard sail technology. The wide canvas was divided into pieces by bamboo strips. In this way, even if it was shot by artillery, it would only damage one piece, rather than destroying a whole piece of sail like the soft sail in the west.
