Chapter 501
"You...have you forgotten what promises you made before you came out of Japan? You built warships for Japan. Even if you were caught by the Tang people, you would just die. How could you do this? If I hadn't been tied up today, I would have killed you for the Emperor!"
Koizumi was excited at that time, not only because he was a ronin, but also because the Japanese people have a tough personality. They think that once they are caught, they will die, and surrender is a behavior that is worse than even pigs and dogs.
"If you weren't tied here, I wouldn't have used it. If I were to make warships for Japan, I would be willing to die at the beach. But what the Japanese people asked me to do now is plagiarism! I am a craftsman, not a thief! Whether in Japan or in the Tang Dynasty, I can't stand being a thief. Whoever can make me a craftsman is my own person."
Although Muto Ichiro's words were a little bit ugly, they were completely true. He just wanted to be a craftsman, and he also had this method, but the emperor of Japan did not let him do this.
After listening to this, Koizumi didn't say anything to deal with it for a while. Although he had no ideals and was not a craftsman, he also felt that Muto Ichiro's words were fine.
He is a craftsman, not a natural thief. If you ask a thief to do this every day, then the thief would definitely not become Muto Ichiro, right?
"I can't kill you, but I won't be like you. We have no names to kill people. Whether the mission is successful or failed, we have come to the end now. Since you have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, I think Yamamoto and the others are almost going to be arrested. There is probably nothing valuable here. If you are both Japanese, let the Tang Dynasty give me some fun."
Koizumi's words were obviously what Ichiro Muto had long thought of.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty never does useless things. He took me in to make warships for the Tang Dynasty, because I am a good craftsman. If I could live, it was actually my own credit. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew you ronin very well and was quite interested. According to him, after fighting with you ronin, he became interested in the training method of ronin. He wanted to know from your mouth, that is, this, and he did not say that he would bypass you. Maybe the existence of a person like you would make the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty feel threatened."
Muto Ichiro told Koizumi the truth, and he also understood that Li Yi would not keep such masters. Even if he didn't tell the truth, he would not have any major impact on the Tang Dynasty. However, if a person like Koizumi was free, he would be a weapon of mass destruction when thrown out. Most people would kill him if he wanted to. If he lost control, it would cause great panic to the people.
"The Tang Dynasty is not short of soldiers and horses, so why do you still want to train ronin? Does he think ronin really look as glorious as it looks?"
Thinking of the training I received when I was a child, Koizumi sneered.
"He seemed to know that the training of ronin would go through a lot of hardships, so he wanted to get the essence and remove the dross. He also said that if you don't say it, when he defeated Japan, those nobles might not be as hard as you."
After finishing what he should say, Muto Ichiro left the house where Koizumi was. He couldn't wait to return to the military camp of the Dongmu Navy Army and bring his wife and daughter there as well.
Hong Yuan had already told him that his wife and daughter could still live with him. During the day, he could build warships with the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. When he finished, he would not have to take turns to station in the barracks like soldiers, but could return to a village not far away that specifically arranged for soldiers and craftsmen's family to rest every day.
In that village, Li Neng also found scholars to teach them how to read and write for their children, and they were all free of charge. According to Hong Yuan, this reflected the Tang Dynasty's emphasis on the navy. Even if they were craftsmen in the navy to build warships, the money they got was much better than those craftsmen who built barges.
That was exactly what he had been looking forward to for countless years, and it was the most important thing in Muto Ichiro's life. So after he informed Hong Yuan and Li Yan about everything he knew, he hurriedly went to build the warship.
"Your Majesty, according to Muto Ichiro, this time, the Japanese may have used up all their fifteen ronin. The surviving one is the leader of these fifteen ronin, named Koizumi. In this way, can we capture Yamamoto and other envoys of the Tang Dynasty? Otherwise, if they learn the news through some special way and run away, it will be difficult to deal with it. After all, the surveillance of them in Henan Road is not as good as Chang'an City."
After collecting information for two days, Hong Yuan once again proposed a plan to capture Yamamoto Kogoro and the others.
This matter is actually obvious. If Kogoro Yamamoto was not arrested, once he learned that the assassination of Li Yan failed, he would definitely pass the news back to Japan as soon as possible. In this case, the emperor of Japan would be prepared. Although Li Yan was not afraid of him being prepared, it would take only two or three years before he attacked Japan. Who knows what they could do in the past two or three years with their urination.
"Yes, it's time to do this, but you don't need to make a big fuss about arresting them. You can take Lei Wanchun and fifty imperial guards to capture everyone in Huangxian. Remember, keep a low profile."
Hong Yuan was quite excited to be involved in this matter directly, so he took Lei Wanchun to the county where Yamamoto and his team were located. The county and Hongyuan were actually brother counties. The county magistrate also knew where Hongyuan came from. In addition, there was also a big Buddha like Lei Wanchun, the Minister of War, so Li Wu did not need to do anything to do.
Speaking of Yamamoto Kogoro, he has really not slept in a stable sleep since Koizumi left him. He asked people to go to the county every day to see if there was anything abnormal in the county government and see if there was any news that Li Qing was assassinated.
