The generals were all excited when they heard what Matsuura Taro said on behalf of Matsuura Takanobu. Most of them did not know what the so-called Baekje Kingdom was. Yes, Baekje Kingdom no longer had any influence on ordinary Japanese people. .
Although they have no interest in the concept of Baekje restoration, they are very interested in actually seizing Tamna Island. You must know that the small Matsuura Party has as many as 2,000 to 3,000 members, but the territory of the Hirado Three Islands is so large. , so it is impossible for everyone to have land.
For the composition of samurai, land always comes first. Without land, even carrying a sword is unfair. The Matsuura family has always wanted to be aggressive, but the enemies they have to face are not inferior to them. .
There is no way to get there on land, so the only option is to beg for food from the sea, but more often than not, it is to seize some barren islands. The leaders of the Matsuura Party here are all island owners, even Tian Anjing, the old cager of the pen family, only has three small islands. The owner of the island.
In the eyes of everyone, Tamna Island is a territory that can be compared with Hirado. As long as Tamna Island is captured, the Matsuura family's territory will be doubled out of thin air. As generals who directly attack cities and seize territory, they can get a share of it. How not to be excited, how not to be happy. The generals all asked for battle. In their eyes, Tamna Island was like a piece of food without any protection. As long as they stepped on it, it would become their food. After swallowing it, there was no need to spit it out.
Taro Matsuura suddenly said: "The official military equipment of Tamna Island is insufficient, but there is still some power among the people. If it continues as usual, I am afraid there will be some casualties. I wonder if you have any clever ideas to catch them all in one go?" He was not old, However, they have followed Matsuura Takanobu since childhood and know that if they can cooperate internally and externally, they can naturally reduce casualties. For them, the fewer casualties, the better, and the shorter the time to seize the island, the better. Once time is delayed, the variables will be too great.
The Matsuura Party is one of the important components of the Japanese pirates. They often plunder the Korean Peninsula, but they often bypass Tamna Island. If there is no trick involved, no one will believe it. Indeed, as he said, the official on Tamna Island The power is insufficient, but there is still a lot of power among the people.
As the elder of the Matsuura Party, the deputy general and military advisor of this expedition, Cage Tian Yasuke naturally knew the general information about Tamra Island. He thought about it and said calmly: "Young Master, we usually plunder the Korean Peninsula. After that, the hardware was brought back to Hirado and the meat was sold locally. The Gao family of Tamna Island was our big customer. If we pretended to be Japanese pirates and sent a letter to them, even if we robbed a batch of meat, the Gao family would definitely Come to receive it, and then I can use coercion and inducement. As long as the Gao family surrenders, most of Tamluo Island will fall into my hands." Hardware refers to property, and meat refers to people.
Momono Hyogo asked: "How sure are you?"
Cage Tian Anjing pondered: "This Gao family was originally the island owner of Tamna Island, but he returned to the Joseon Dynasty a long time ago and was deprived of real power step by step. Now he is just a landowner on Tamna Island without real power. He is unwilling to do so, but as long as we can allow him to be the owner of Tamluo Island, and with the addition of a sword, he dare not disobey. As for what will happen next, it is not a matter of a word from me."
Taro Matsuura nodded slightly.
A letter was delivered to the head of the Gao clan on Tamna Island.
The Lee family of the Joseon Dynasty was deeply jealous of the Go clan on Tamna Island. They pressed harder and harder and were deprived of most of their real power. Now all the direct descendants of the Go clan have been brought to live in Seoul. The only ones left on Tamna Island are A branch of the collateral line that is close to the Li family.
This patriarch of the Gao clan has amassed a lot of money and has to hand over a large amount of property to Seoul every year. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit as the patriarch of the Gao clan as a collateral clan. However, Tamna Island is really barren. Even if there is business, it is difficult to make ends meet to satisfy Queen Munding's appetite, so the only option is to cooperate with Japanese pirates and sell people as property.
The butterfly effect of the Wang Zhi Group has affected them. Japanese pirates are plundering the Korean Peninsula less and less. The big Japanese pirates who have a cooperative relationship with them are no longer appearing, which has greatly reduced the income of Patriarch Gao, but the property he turns in every year is getting more and more. The more money he got, the more he could not make ends meet, which made Patriarch Gao very anxious.
Now the Songpu Party has sent a letter telling Patriarch Gao that the Songpu Party has a large amount of meat in their hands. Do you want it? Patriarch Gao agreed without thinking about whether there were any problems, and personally took three hundred servants and copper coins to hand over the matter.
The reason why Patriarch Gao went out in full force was because he was worried that the Matsuura Party would take advantage of the underworld. Three hundred servants were enough to protect him from escaping.
The location of the transaction was in a small seaport. Whether by calculation or not, Patriarch Gao was quickly surrounded by the ambushed Matsuura Party. In less than a cup of tea, not one of the three hundred servants escaped. A bowman caught the extravagantly dressed Patriarch Gao. The Patriarch Gao was now in a very embarrassed state and was shouting:The whining sound turned out to be that his mouth was gagged with a wooden stick.
Patriarch Gao originally thought he was taking advantage of others, but when he arrived at the end of the field, he saw the person's outfit and a flag with ghostly symbols. He was dumbfounded in horror, his eyes full of horror, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. He saw it. The content on that flag clearly refers to the word Baekje. Patriarch Gao kept kowtowing and said: "Heroes of Baekje, please spare your life! Please spare your life!"
Patriarch Gao was very knowledgeable and good-looking when he was young, otherwise he would not have been able to become the patriarch of the Gao clan from the sidelines. He happened to know the words on the flag, and he also happened to know the history of Baekje. After a while.
Rongsue Tian Anjing walked up to Patriarch Gao and said: "Then Chief Gao, please swear your loyalty to Baekje here."
Patriarch Gao never dreamed that these guys who looked like Japanese pirates in front of him would be the remnants of the Baekje Kingdom. For himself, who was familiar with the history of the Baekje Kingdom, he couldn't help but feel that the deadline for saying goodbye to the head and the body seemed to be coming.
He knew that Baekje eventually went to Japan and hid. Regardless of whether the group of people in front of him were descendants of Baekje or not, as long as they raised the flag of Baekje on Tamna Island, they would be the biggest in the eyes of the Joseon Kingdom. Rebellion, if he pledges his allegiance to the other party, there will be no turning back.
Yes, the "brilliant idea" that Matsuura Takanobu, Kabute Yasuke and others came up with will not be accepted in the Kingdom of Korea, because for any dynasty, suppressing the previous dynasty and guarding against the restoration of the previous dynasty are always the most important issues. , regardless of whether the previous dynasty was hundreds of years ago or thousands of years ago.
Matsuura Takanobu really had a different idea.
¡°If Patriarch Gao knew that this was Matsuura Takanobu¡¯s brilliant idea, he might as well just die.
