    Matsudaira Kubo is still waiting for Su Jing to reply to him!

    In the end, he saw Su Jing leaving with his entourage. At this moment, Matsudaira Kubo was a little confused. He really couldn't understand how Su Jing left so well!

    Just when Matsudaira Kubo was about to have someone chase Su Jing back, Cao Ling was already slowly coming toward them with five hundred cavalry!

    The dock where the ship was parked was not very wide, but it was crowded by Cao Ling's cavalry. Matsudaira Kubo didn't know what was going on, and he became nervous for a moment. The samurai following him became even more panicked, and some even drew their swords.  Out!

    Matsudaira Kubo could be considered a master of the Ming Dynasty after all. He naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty valued etiquette and could not do anything to these envoys, so he loudly scolded those samurai who could not calm down!

    At this time, Cao Ling had already rode in front of Matsudaira Kubo. He looked down at Matsudaira Kubo, who was already not tall, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the envoy of the Japanese country? What is your name and what is your official position?"

    Although Matsudaira Kubo was very angry at Cao Ling's arrogance, he still said immediately after listening to the interpreter's translation: "I am Matsudaira Kubo, the subordinate of the Japanese general Zhengyi. May I ask what the general's name is? What is his official position?"

    Cao Ling did not answer Matsudaira Kubo's question, but smiled sarcastically: "It turns out that he was just a payee. Your general who conquered the barbarians really didn't take our Ming Empire seriously, and he actually sent you such a sesame and mung bean-sized guy.  The things are here, but our Ming Empire is a country of etiquette. Since you are here, we must treat you with courtesy. Now recruit people to transport the goods. By the way, don¡¯t forget to buy grain and grass supplies. From here to the capital  It¡¯s not a short journey!¡±

    Matsudaira Kubo was dumbfounded after the interpreter translated Cao Ling's words. Cao Ling ridiculed him, but the second thing was that his official position was not big, and he was just a small leader used by the shogunate to supervise the Hatamoto samurai!

    But Matsudaira Kubo, who was a leader of the Ming Dynasty, never expected that Cao Ling would ask him to recruit people to transport goods and buy grain and grass himself. Doesn't that mean that it would cost a lot of money to transport the goods he brought to the capital of the Ming Dynasty?

    For Matsudaira Kubo, who originally wanted to make money and take advantage, this was a real bolt from the blue. You must know that this time he brought ten shipments of goods and more than a thousand people. The transportation costs of these goods, plus a  The food and accommodation expenses for more than a thousand people are definitely not a small amount!

    If Matsudaira Kubo is really required to bear these expenses himself, then he will be losing money by paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty this time. After all, no matter how stupid the Ming Emperor is, he cannot really calculate with you and then reward you after completing the calculation!

    Thinking of the consequences of losing money, Matsudaira Kubo felt as if his chest was pressed by a big stone. He couldn't wait to shout: "My lord, according to past practice, I will pay tribute to the emperor of your country."  , shouldn¡¯t your imperial court recruit corvees to transport it? How can you let us recruit our own people to transport it? This is really against the rules?¡±

    Cao Ling looked at Matsudaira Kubo and laughed and said: "You, an overseas savage, also know what the rules are?"

    Matsudaira Kubo was so humiliated by Cao Ling that he couldn't suppress his anger and shouted: "You are so rude. I am a samurai under General Zhengyi, not an overseas savage. Aren't you afraid of provoking a samurai's dignity like this?"  Will it cause disputes between the two countries?"

    Cao Ling said nonchalantly: "So what if it causes a dispute between the two countries? Should your general who conquered the barbarians send 100,000 people to kill me, or send one million people to kill me?"

    During the Warring States Period of Japan, a war between daimyo would be considered a joint war if both sides gathered tens of thousands of people. A war of 100,000 or one million levels, for the people of Japan, was simply a legendary existence!

    Today's Japanese country has a population of more than 15 million, and it belongs to many feudal lords and daimyo. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, he sacrificed his own money to gather 150,000 people. As a result, after the defeat of Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness.  The Chen family was also replaced by the Tokugawa family!

    In fact, during the Second World War in later generations, the Japanese country had a population of nearly 70 million, but its mobilized troops were only more than 9 million. The actual total military strength was only more than 4 million at its highest!

    Therefore, Cao Ling¡¯s provocation against Matsudaira Kubo was simply to accuse others of their shortcomings and slap them in the face. It made Matsudaira Kubo so angry that he was panting like an ox, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Ming Dynasty¡¯s strength was there, and he did not dare to really fall out with Ming Dynasty!

    However, Matsudaira Kubo was angry, and he was not stupid. He thought of a way to deal with it in a blink of an eye. He took a deep breath and said: "General, most of the people we come here this time are businessmen. We really want to see the Ming Emperor."  Your Majesty¡¯s envoys are not many, and the tributes are meager.??, it is not a problem for us to transport ourselves, but the merchants who came with us have to stay here and sell the goods they brought this time, but this place is too simple. Our merchants are going to Suzhou and ask the general to give them.  Arrange it, and of course, the merchants will pay for the cost of delivering the goods themselves!  "

    Cao Ling shook his head and said: "There was a Japanese pirate riot in Suzhou a while ago, so you'd better not go, otherwise it's not worth being beaten to death by others, so your businessmen can stay here and wait for you envoys.  Come back, I believe their goods should be sold!"

    Matsudaira Kubo looked at the messy construction sites everywhere. There was no sign of any business being done. He suppressed his anger and dissatisfaction and said: "Sir General, this is not a place for business at all. Are you making things difficult for us?"

    At this time, Cao Ling showed an approving smile and said: "You guys are not stupid enough yet. I just want to make things difficult for you. It is best to make you so angry that you run back and lead the troops to fight. Then I will get the credit!"

    Matsudaira Kubo was completely speechless this time. He really couldn¡¯t understand why the Ming Dynasty, which originally regarded itself as a gentleman, had changed so much now.

    He is simply domineering, shameless, and vicious. How can anyone live with this?

    Realizing that something was wrong, Matsudaira Kubo became much more honest, and said with a humble expression: "Although I don't know what prejudices you have against our Japanese country, my lord, the general, has always been deferential to the Ming Dynasty since he replaced the Toyotomi family. You are so embarrassed.  What are we here for?"

    Cao Ling banged his riding crop on his hand and said after a long time: "Your Majesty is right. You Japanese are afraid of power but don't know how to be kind. If you are polite to you, you will be arrogant. If you are harsh to you, you will be more submissive."  , This is really boring, I hope you can have some backbone, but it¡¯s a pity that you really don¡¯t have such a thing!¡±

    "Tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for you in front of the capital outside Suzhou City. If you are late, you don't have to go to the capital to see His Majesty!" Cao Ling left these last words, then turned his horse's head and led the people away.  Got it!

    After Cao Ling's soldiers and horses walked away, Matsudaira Kubo's face gradually darkened. He said to the interpreter beside him: "Go and find out where Su Jing went, and see if you can find out who this person was just now.  !¡±

    The interpreter bowed in response and left quickly. Matsudaira Kubo then turned around and looked at the ten ships on the pier, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but surge up again!

    "If I can't take advantage of the invention this time, the general will definitely be angry when I go back, and I might have to disembowel myself to apologize!"

    Under the livid face of Matsudaira Kubo, he was wailing in his heart!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
