Chapter 569: Meeting the Messenger
Du Bishu greeted Okamoto Rishan and asked him to wait in the outer hall first, then walked inside alone to see if Li Chen woke up.
Inside, in Li Chen's office, he had just woken up from a beautiful dream. In the dream, he had just fought with Duke Zhou's daughter for 300 rounds and was now yawning.
I have to say that I have been fighting outside for many years and I can’t see a woman, which really makes Li Chen’s yang energy a little strong.
"Ka, da, da."
Just as Li Chen was yawning, a sound of footsteps sounded outside, and Du Bishu slowly walked in from outside.
Du Bishu is a typical literary style. He is slow and calm no matter what he does. But no matter what he does, he is organized and never has any trouble. Perhaps, this is just a slow work and meticulous work.
Du Bishu walked to Li Chen and whispered: "Marty, Fusang's messenger is here."
When Li Chen heard that Fusang's envoy was coming, he did not expect that it was the envoy of the Tokugawa Shogunate, but thought that it was the envoy of the Kamakura Shogunate or the Muromachi Shogunate. After all, since the war between the three major shogunate started, the Qin Dynasty cut off contacts with the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Hearing this, Li Chen raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is it Kamakura Shogunate or Muromachi Shogunate? Could it be that he is here to ask for help again?"
When the war between the three major shogunate started after the New Year, Oqin supported a batch of cannons and a batch of artillery soldiers of the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate. These aids played a crucial role in the process of the three major shogunate wars.
Originally, even if the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate were combined, they were not a rival to the Tokugawa Shogunate. It can even be said that the forces of the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The reason why they can tolerate the existence of the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate is that they can vent their vent when conflicts arise within themselves.
But now, after receiving support from the Qin Dynasty, the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate were able to change their previous disadvantages. Instead, they have become a situation where the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate united to suppress the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Of course, Li Chen's aid is not free, but rather a high paid aid. However, for the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi Shogunate, the only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive. The aid of the Qin Dynasty is indeed effective. If there is no assistance from the Qin Dynasty, then the result of waiting for them is defeat. The result of defeat is death. With the choice of life and money, I believe that as long as you are not a fool, you know which one to choose.
But now the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate have already gained the upper hand on the battlefield, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to let themselves slaughter them.
Du Bishu found a chair to sit down, and then said to Li Chen: "Not either, it's someone from the Tokugawa Shogunate."
"The people from the Tokugawa Shogunate are here. It seems that they really can't hold on anymore. They are trying to beg for mercy from us." Li Chen said after pondering for a moment, and then asked Du Bishu: "Why did the person who came said he was here?"
"The person who came is not the main master, he is here to submit a prayer letter. What's the name? By the way, it's called Okamoto Ridge Mountain." Du Bishu said hurriedly.
"Okamoto Ridge Mountain, 03 is not good, 03 is a bit thick, 01 is better, 01 is thin, and there is no feeling." Li Chen said to himself when he heard this name.
"It's okay anyway. Take this Okamoto Ridge Mountain to see me. I want to see what the Tokugawa family is going to do." Li Chen said with a smile.
Du Bishu left, and not long after, he brought Okamoto Ridge to see Li Chen. Looking at the person sitting in front of him with the Golden Knife, Okamoto Ridge couldn't help but feel excited. You know, the two sides are now a belligerent country, and even if Li Chen doesn't see him, he has no choice. Who would have thought that he would meet Li Chen so easily?
When he saw Li Chen, Okamoto Ridge was full of respectful expressions. With a "pubo" sound, Okamoto Ridge made a big gift that was protruding, and then lay on the ground and said in a bit of Qin dialect: "Okamoto Ridge, the envoy of the Fusom Tokugawa shogunate, pay homage to the Grand Marshal of the Great Qin army."
Okamoto Ridge Mountain's posture is particularly low. Of course, facing the current prosperous and powerful Qin Dynasty, as a person from a small Fusang country, Okamoto Ridge Mountain is also inferior from the bottom of his heart.
Okamoto Ridge Mountain knew very well that Li Chen was the largest mountain in the Qin officialdom. Faced with such a powerful village, it was his own way to keep humble.
This is the benefit of a country's prosperity and strength. A country is rich and strong. In terms of people's livelihood, a strong country will have a strong sense of national pride in the hearts of the people, while a weak country will have a very low self-esteem. From a military perspective, it is the situation in which Li Chen and Okamoto Rishan are now. A rich and powerful country envoy can sit and listen, while a weak country envoy can only kneel down and speak.
Of course, Li Chen is not a merciless person. As the saying goes, he does not hit people with a smile. As the dignified Grand Marshal of the Great Qin Army and Horses, Li Chen does not need to make things difficult for a small Fusang country. This is the pattern that a Grand Marshal of the Warrior should have.
Li Chen looked at Okamoto Ridge Mountain, smiled, then pointed to a position beside Du Bishu and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you for the seat of Marshal." Okamoto Riyama stood up respectfully, and then sat carefully on the chair.
Okamoto Rishan's sitting posture was very cramped. He sat carefully on the chair, and only dared to touch a little of the chair on his butt. This posture was to allow himself to kneel down at any time.
Li Chen looked at Okamoto Ridge Mountain and asked slowly, "I don't know what the purpose of Tokugawa Shogunate is to come this time?"
Hearing Li Chen asks himself, Okamoto Rishan's attitude is very respectful. He hurriedly said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, since the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate started war against our Tokugawa Shogunate, the entire Fuso land has been shrouded in war. The lives of the people are terrible. The patriarch of our Tokugawa family cannot bear the suffering of the people, and hopes that the Grand Marshal can come forward to mediate. For this reason, our Tokugawa Shogunate is willing to offer Qingyu Maple."
What Okamoto Ridge Mountain calls it? The Tokugawa family can't bear to see the people suffer, so it's naturally a bullshit. As a person in power, the Tokugawa family will not care about the lives and deaths of the people. The reason why they want Li Chen to mediate now is that they can't beat the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate.
If the battle continues, I am afraid that the authority of the Tokugawa shogunate will be lost. These people in power will not care about the lives of the people. Even if all the people are dead, as long as their authority is not lost, it will be fine.
For the Tokugawa family, they can't beat it. The price of defeat is not just losing power and status, but I'm afraid even losing my life.
In order to preserve his rights and status, the Tokugawa shogunate had no choice but to offer Qingyumaru and put his hopes on Li Chen's ability to agree to mediation.
