Chapter 987 Iwami Silver Mountain can be rented!

Chapter 987: Shi Jian Yinshan can be rented!

(0987)

【Today's third update is delivered】

Of course, in the era of musket raging, most of the ability of a swordsman is probably legendary. No matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of kitchen knives. Muskets are in his hand and they are knocked down with one shot. The words are rough. Not to mention weapons like Minnie guns, but ordinary smoothbore guns will be blooming when they hit Miyamoto Musashi. Anything that is invulnerable to swords and guns is a fool, but I am afraid that Miyamoto Musashi himself will not believe it.

Besides, what Miyamoto Musashi is good at is due to open duels, assassinations, etc., which are ninja specialties. Miyamoto Musashi is not a ninja. In fact, the relationship between Miyamoto Musashi and Japanese ninjas would be quite bad. If he hadn't been for his strong kung fu, he would have been assassinated by Japanese ninjas who had disliked him.

"I admire Mr. Musashi's swordsmanship very much. If you have the chance in the future, please ask Mr. Masashi to convey my greetings to Mr. Musashi. We also have many swordsmen in our Ming Kingdom. If Mr. Musashi is interested, you might as well visit Ming Kingdom."

Zhang Zhun said casually with a smile.

"The Governor is indeed a hospitality person. I really admire the Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain in your country. It is said that the swordsmen of your country are all from famous mountains and rivers. The scenery is beautiful and the people are outstanding. If my family has time, I will definitely go to your country."

Miyamoto's complimentary skills are obviously very good, and they are flattering without any trace, even Zhang Jun feels it is very useful. Because even he himself wants to know, if Miyamoto Musashi really takes his sword to the Central Plains and challenge Shaolin Temple or Wudang Mountain, he doesn't know what the consequences will be?

I think that Shaolin Wudang is all the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world, so it shouldn’t make any fool of itself, right? Well, confidence, you must have confidence in Shaolin Wudang! Even if you can’t beat it at the beginning, in the end, there will definitely be a master like a sweeping monk... The thoughts of the governor began to fly randomly.

"Mr. Miyamoto, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

After finally letting Zhang Zhun get back his random thoughts and gets into the topic straightforwardly.

"That's how it is..."

Miyamoto Masaichi hurriedly seized the opportunity to express his true intention.

His whereabouts were indeed very mysterious when he arrived this time. Because he was on behalf of the Japanese royal family. The Japanese royal family sent someone to find Miyamoto Musashi, hoping that Miyamoto Musashi would find a way to contact the Tiger Army and safeguard the interests of the Japanese royal family. Miyamoto Musashi naturally could not refuse this matter. To be cautious, he decided to send his nephew to Sado Island first to inquire about the Tiger Army's to inquire about the Tiger Army, and then make a decision.

The Japanese royal family agreed that as long as the Hu Ben Army helps them eliminate the shogunate and take back the power to rule Japan, they are willing to rent Sado Island to the Hu Ben Army forever, and the lease period can be negotiated. In other words, the Hu Ben Army can permanently garrison troops on Sado Island. Of course, all this is secret and cannot be disclosed.

"Mr. Miyamoto, I also want to rent a place."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly.

“Where?”

Miyamoto Masaichi asked hurriedly.

"Ishikari Shin-shan."

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

"this……"

Miyamoto Masaichi suddenly had a bitter face.

Japan knows the value of Ishimi Yinshan. In Japan's foreign trade, there is a kind of silver called Satsuma silver, which is very purity and is very popular. This Satsuma silver is produced by Ishimi Yinshan and is very famous. All merchants are proud to receive pure Satsuma silver in trade.

On the contrary, Japan has no idea about the value of Sado Island. Except for the very few people in the Shogunate who knew that Sado Island had gold and silver mines, no one else knew. If the Japanese knew that Sado Island had gold and silver reserves above Sado Island, they would definitely not have rented Sado Island to the Hu Ben Army if they knew that the amount of gold and silver storage on Sado Island was not below Ishimi Silver Mountain.

"Mr. Masaichi, if we had no help from our army, Ishimi Yinshan would never be yours. You would not get one or two of the silver mountains of Ishimi Yinshan. You would not get any other silver mountains. I know that there are many silver mountains in Japan, and Ishimi is just the largest one. If you cooperate with us, you would only lose one Ishimi Yinshan, but you have obtained all the other silver mountains. I believe it is not difficult to make a choice for such a transaction."

Zhang Zhun stared at Miyamoto Masaichi with glittering eyes and said in a daze.

At his position, there is no need to use any diplomatic rhetoric. He can speak out what he wants to get. Moreover, there is no room for bargaining. The other party can only choose to accept or not. Those who are superior have such domineering and privileges.

"this……"

Miyamoto Masaichi had a fierce ideological battle, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

Miyamoto Masaichi was indeed reluctant to give up Ishimiya. The Japanese royal family was definitely reluctant to let go. In fact, the ultimate goal was not for power and money. At the beginning, the Japanese royal family, who was extremely poor, sold purple robes to monks in the temple at a disguised manner, with the purpose of making money. As a result, a big storm broke out.

However, Zhang Jun's words were not wrong. Ishimi Ginshan is currently firmly controlled by the Tokugawa Shogunate and has no share of them. The Yinshan in other places is also controlled by the Shogunate and has no share of them. If Ishimi Ginshan is abandoned, they can also obtain other silver mountains. The combined production of other silver mountains will definitely not be less than Ishimi Ginshan. Instead of getting nothing, it is better to obtain the other half.

There are gains and losses. While losing the Ishida Yinshan, or another Yinshan, is not unacceptable to the Japanese royal family. The key is to understand your own weight and put your position in the right place. If the Japanese royal family is not able to obtain any power without Zhang Zhun's help. If you continue to be too ambitious, you will never be able to grasp power.

"Mr. Masaichi, the slower your decision, the stronger the power of the shogunate will become. The longer the time delays, the more silver they get from Ishimi Ginshan mine, the more weapons and equipment they can buy, and the more armies they can form."

"In addition, I don't know if you have received the news. The Dutch fleet has arrived in Hiroshima and is ready to directly assist the shogunate. The Dutch probably brought a large number of weapons such as large guns and iron cannons to the shogunate. If the Dutch had more warships coming, I was afraid that things would be more troublesome. Therefore, please make a decision early."

Zhang Zhun sat firmly on Diaoyutai and said in a tempting manner.

"What? The Dutch arrived in Hiroshima?"

Masaichi Miyamoto was shocked.

Obviously, this news shocked him. Of course, Masaichi Miyamoto didn't know about the strength of the Dutch. Before that, the Dutch and the Japanese had also had contact, but the relationship was not close enough. With the help of the Dutch, it would be even more difficult for them to defeat the shogunate.

Whether the Dutch fleet will directly participate in the war is still unknown. However, the Dutch sent a large amount of weapons and equipment to the shogunate, which is fatal enough. The shogunate army is already very powerful, and if it had more weapons and equipment, wouldn't it be even more powerful? It is precisely because of the large amount of silver mined from Ishimi Ginyama that the shogunate had funds to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from the outside world.

what to do?

what to do?

what to do?

Miyamoto frowned and was confused.

Giving Ishimi Yinshan to the Tiger Ben Army can of course greatly weaken the power of the Shogunate army. However, if the Japanese royal family gained power in the future and wanted to return Ishimi Yinshan from Zhang Jun, it would be too difficult. Miyamoto Masaichi believed in this point - when will the things Zhang Jun liked have been given up?

"Sir, the Dutch have an envoy coming!"

Suddenly, Wang Shide rushed over and reported to Zhang Zhun.

"ah?"

Miyamoto's face changed drastically again.

What do the Dutch come to find Zhang Zhun? Is it what the Dutch are here to issue a letter of war? Or is it that the Dutch are preparing to cooperate with the Hu Ben Army? If the former is fine, but if the latter is the latter, it will be a complete tragedy. If the Hu Ben Army and the Dutch join forces to deal with the Japanese, then the Japanese will die to the point of not even a scum?

"Wang Shide, take Mr. Masaichi Miyamoto to rest."

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly.

Then, he smiled apologetically to Masaichi Miyamoto.

Zhang Zhun's smile made Miyamoto Masaichi even more suspicious. He always felt that there was too much in Zhang Zhun's smile. The subconscious mind told him that this matter was very bad for the Japanese, well, to be precise, for the Japanese royal family. He had to meet Zhang Zhun's requirements before the Dutch arrived.

"Governor, I think Shi Jian Yinshan can be rented."

Miyamoto Masaichi made a quick decision and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Zhang Zhun said deeply.

"I swear in the name of God Amaterasu!"

Miyamoto Masaichi took the initiative, straightened his body and said loudly.

"very good!"

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

"please!"

Wang Shide made a request gesture to Masaichi Miyamoto.

Miyamoto Masaichi obviously didn't want to leave. He looked at Zhang Zhun and wanted to get a further clear answer from Zhang Zhun's mouth. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun only had two words "very good". After saying these two words, Zhang Zhun was so sad that he was so sad. There was no way, Miyamoto Masaichi had to leave with Wang Shide for the time being.

A moment after Miyamoto Masaichi left, Wang Junyu arrived with the Dutch envoy. The Dutch envoy was a familiar face. When he was in Yangzhou, Zhang Zhun had already seen him. Although Zhang Zhun could no longer remember his name.

"Dear Governor of the Ming Kingdom, Anita greets you."

The Dutch messenger bowed to Zhang Zhun.
