Chapter 561 Triumph
After signing a huge IOU, Miko Orishino was taken to entertain her. Yes, it was just entertainment. In order to make the noble Miss Miko feel at home, Xu Jin even sent two Japanese women who had been placed in some way to serve her.
Of course, the noble Miss Miko had to continue wearing shackles and handcuffs, and there were four fierce soldiers following and monitoring at all times. Otherwise, Xu Jin would not dare to bring a Japanese girl who could fight with her second brother-in-law for more than ten rounds and kill without blinking. It would be too dangerous.
In order to be more secure, Xu Jin even asked his two brothers whether there was a way to slap his body or poke his fingers to destroy martial arts. Unfortunately, both brothers said that they did not. Xie Sanqiang looked at his brother-in-law with an idiot's eyes.
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly. It seemed that Jin Daxia was a lie, and he could only cut off his hands and feet if he wanted to waste one's kung fu.
However, Zhao Datou's drenched goods gave Xu Jin an idea, which was to go to the brothel to buy a few kilograms of crispy bone paste. This crispy bone paste is specially used to regulate girls who refuse to accept customers. After drinking the crispy bone paste, people will be soft and weak for a while, so that the customers can ask for it.
This idea sounds quite effective, but considering that the timeliness of Sugu San is only one hour, it is obviously impossible to give the noble Miss Miko twelve times a day. Maybe it will take a few days to torture the person to death. This person is a shaking silver tree, and even Xu Jin has thought about how to shake silver in the future, so he naturally cannot kill him, so he rejected Zhao Datou's proposal.
Xie Erjian felt that his brother-in-law was a little too cautious. Orishi Miko's martial arts were indeed good, but wearing handcuffs and shackles, four brave men were watching over him. What kind of storm can he bear?
"If you are worried about safety, then let County Magistrate Zhu set up an independent prison in the county jail to lock her up. Why bother with it?" Qi Jingtong said disapprovingly.
Xu Jin nodded: "This is a good idea, but you must be careful and you must not have any accidents."
Qi Jingtong frowned and asked, "Sir, I think Cui Shuimang will really transport one million taels of silver to redeem Orishimiko."
Xu Jin shook his head and said, "It's unlikely."
Zhao Datou scratched Datou and asked in confusion: "Sir, you are still writing the IOU solemnly, is it really a waste of time?"
"Old Zhao, what would you do if someone owes you a lot of money and doesn't pay it back, but lives in a magnificent mansion?" Xu Jin asked in a tempting manner.
The guy Zhao Datou immediately said with a grim voice: "That's more important than saying, "Go to chase people from the door, and you'll be charged with your house to pay the debt. Kill people to fill your life and pay back your debts."
Xu Jin tapped the coffee table and smiled, "Will it be knotted? It is said that there are several silver mines under the name of the Zhixin family."
Zhao Datou's eyes suddenly became lit up, and he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, if Cui Shuimang dares not transport a million taels of silver to redeem people, we will kill to Japan to collect the mines."
"Wrong, it's 1.82 million taels!" Xu Jin took out two IOUs from his arms, which were filled with Orishi Miko's signature and fingerprint.
Zhao Datou immediately took a breath of air conditioning like a toothache, but Qi Jingtong hesitated: "I'm afraid it's impossible to cross the ocean to confiscate the silver mines of the Zhixin family to pay off the debt, right?"
It is indeed impossible. The current Ming Dynasty was not during the Yongle Dynasty. The national strength was severely declining, and the military preparations were abandoned. Even the military pay of the border soldiers was still in arrears. How could a navy expedition be sent? What's more, since the eunuch of the Sanbao stopped voyage to the West, the navy of the Ming Dynasty had plummeted, and it was estimated that even the army could not get enough ships to go to sea.
Xu Jin naturally understood that the current Ming Dynasty was beyond the reach of Japan. The reason why he was so determined to let Orishi Miko write the IOU was that his real goal was to ban the sea.
According to Xu Jin's estimate, Zhang Cong and Gui E may have set off from Jinling to the capital. Yang Ting and Yidang in history were defeated by these two people, so once the two are transferred back to Beijing to serve, I believe that the Yang Party is not far from falling, that is, this year or next year.
When Yang Ting and these stubborn old ministers were eliminated, it was an excellent time to promote the lifting of the sea ban. As long as the sea ban was opened, the Japanese would definitely flock to the Ming Dynasty to do business, and the Zhixin family would naturally be no exception. Hehe, by then, your Zhixin family would want to do business with the Ming Dynasty. You should pay back the owed silver first.
If the Zhixin family dared not pay back the money, Xu Jin would not mind forming a navy to visit Japan. Given the current chaos of Japan's scattered sand, it would be estimated that only 5,000 elite soldiers equipped with flintlock guns could easily sweep away. At that time, what Xu Jin wanted was not as simple as a few silver mines, and the colonies would probably be the destination of Japan.
Of course, sending troops is just a filing. As the saying goes, we must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. Today, the Ming Dynasty is still very weak, and many problems need to be solved urgently. After the two things of clearing land in the country and opening up the maritime ban are implemented, I believe that the Ming Dynasty's finance will improve rapidly.
Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible. As long as the treasury is full, everything will be easy. It is naturally no problem to form a powerful navy.
...
All the seized goods were loaded on the ship. The next morning, Xu Jin led a fleet of dozens of ships of all sizes and sizes to set off in a mighty manner and return to Dongtai County.
Before leaving Dongsha Island, Xu Jin ordered people to destroy all the fortifications on the island, dismantle and transport the five artillery pieces, and even the caves on the island collapsed, so that pirates would not cause any more pirates to come to Dongsha Island to entrench them.
Xu Jin also kept his promise and released twenty-eight Japanese people including Cui Shuimang, and left them a brig sailboat and twenty-eight swords. However, these swords were all miscellaneous goods seized from the pirates, and some of the blades were already bumpy.
"It's my mother, that Ming official is just an evil ghost who eats people and doesn't spit bones. What kind of garbage stuff!" A Japanese warrior looked at the broken knife in his hand, which looked like a saw, and couldn't help but curse, and smashed the broken knife to the ground hard, but the broken knife was simply broken into two pieces.
Although the knife in Cui Shuiwan had no gap, it was rusty. The other party sold a thousand taels of this thing. Alas, the person was under the eaves and had to bow his head.
Cui Shuimarang sighed and said, "Everyone, get on the boat."
At this time, the fleet led by Xu Jin had disappeared from the sea level. Cui Shuimang and others boarded the brig sailboat in dejected manner, raised their sails and left the Dongshabi, and headed towards the sea to the east.
