"I'm going to return the things he sent." Han Shu nodded, got up and left.
"Wait a minute." Han Du grabbed his brother and said with a smile, "Why are you sending him back?"
Han Shu was stunned, not understanding what his eldest brother said, and looked at him doubtfully: "Since eldest brother has rejected Hosokawa Noriyuki, then give him back what he brought."
"What else can I pay back?" Han Du pulled his brother back to sit down, smiled and shook his head: "Just keep those things, there is no need to pay them back."
"Ah? This..." Han Shu glanced at his elder brother suspiciously and asked softly: "Isn't this something bad?"
Han Du shook his head directly and explained: "There is nothing wrong! Although according to etiquette, you should return the things to them. But etiquette is used to treat friends, not enemies."
"Do you think the Japanese are friends or enemies with us?"
"It's the enemy!" Han Shu nodded quickly.
Han Du shrugged and spread his hands: "Isn't that right? Since we are enemies, why go back? Let him buy knives and guns to deal with us?"
After listening to the elder brother's explanation, Han Shu smiled and nodded: "I listen to the elder brother."
...
After Hosokawa Mochiyuki returned, he really couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he had no choice but to go see Zhu Gaochi again.
Upon hearing Hosokawa Mochizhi's request to see him, Zhu Gaochi did not embarrass him and asked someone to let him in.
"The foreign minister pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Noriyuki Hosokawa could no longer see the smile on his face as before, but was filled with sadness. The moment he saw Zhu Gaochi, he bowed his head and bowed.
Zhu Gaochi still had a smile on his face and nodded slightly: "Your Excellency Hosokawa, you don't need to be so generous. Please come and invite me."
Hosokawa Mochizuki felt better after hearing Zhu Gaochi's words. Although Han Du's attitude towards the Japanese was very bad, it seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince had no ill feelings towards them.
This allowed Hosokawa Mochiyuki to see an opportunity, an opportunity that could turn Japan's crisis into safety.
"Your Highness!" Hosokawa Mochiyuki suddenly knelt down towards Zhu Gaochi and cried bitterly: "Xinming is the dynasty of heaven, and the Japanese country has never shown any disrespect to Xinming. After learning about Xinming, they came to pay tribute.
, and presented a letter of credence to show surrender, couldn't Xinming give the Japanese a place to stay..."
Zhu Gaochi did not expect that a man named Hosokawa Mochiyuki would cry like a woman, which caught him off guard.
After reacting, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Your Excellency Hosokawa, please get up quickly and speak."
However, Hosokawa Mokiyuki refused to get up no matter what, insisting on kneeling on the ground. Because he knew that once he got up, there would be no way to make Zhu Gaochi relent. Now his only hope is that Zhu Gaochi can take pity on him and
With a soft heart, he let the Japanese go.
But Zhu Gaochi is not stupid. Such a major matter is simply not something he can decide.
Moreover, Han Du had made it very clear before that compared to the five great families, the Japanese were the real hidden danger to Xinming and they must not be allowed to grow.
The Japanese country must be completely eliminated!
Seeing that Hosokawa Mochizhi refused to get up, Zhu Gaochi also gave up the persuasion, shook his head and said perfunctorily with a smile: "You have something to say, what are you doing? Besides, you can't make the decision on this matter alone. If you really have
If you are in trouble, why don't you go and ask to see my father?"
When Hosokawa Mokiyuki saw that Zhu Gaochi didn't want to help at all, his heart suddenly sank and he cried even louder: "Xinming has not occupied the Americas yet. The Japanese have no threat to Xinming in Latin America. Is it possible that Xinming is even the Japanese?"
Are you unwilling to accept surrender?"
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's face darkened: "It is true that Xinming has not conquered America yet, but it is only a matter of time. You must not think that Xinming cannot conquer America, right?"
What else could Hosokawa Mokiyuki say? Of course he hoped that it would be best for Xinming to never conquer America, so that Japan could sit back and relax.
But he also knew that this was impossible. Although Xinming had not made rapid progress in the Americas in recent years, according to what he learned, it was not that Xinming did not have the strength to conquer the Americas, but that Xinming wanted to recuperate and recuperate.
He was devastated by the conquest of America.
As long as Xinming accumulates enough power in a few years, even if it cannot conquer America in one go, it will at least be able to double its current territory.
When the time comes, Xin Ming will be able to conquer the entire America in one go after another ten years of cultivation without any suspense.
Seeing that Hosokawa Mochiyuki didn't speak, obviously agreeing with his own statement, Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly and continued: "As for Latin America, that is the land discovered by Zhen Guogong, so it naturally belongs to the Ming Dynasty."
"Although the Ming Dynasty is currently beyond its reach and cannot touch this land, Xin Ming has the responsibility to take back this land."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki looked at Zhu Gaochi with despair on his face, and said sadly: "Can't Xinming give the Japanese a place to stay?"
"Yes!" Zhu Gaochi smiled faintly.
"What?" Hosokawa Noriyuki didn't expect that things would turn out like this, and asked with surprise, "Where is it?"
Zhu Gaochi returned to the chair and sat down, crossed his hands in front of his stomach, and said with a smile: "The Duke of Zhenguo said that if you want a place to stay, I can give you a Japanese island to live in."
"Homeland?" Hosokawa Mochizuki gritted his teeth and stared at Zhu Gaochi, the anger in his heart rising.
Before Hosokawa Mokiyuki left Japan, this would have been his dream. But since he arrived in Latin America and saw the products here with his own eyes, he no longer looks down upon his former homeland.
Don't talk about hometown complex, no complex is as important as having enough food. The former Japanese country was obviously an island, but there were many rocks and wasteland, and there was very little land that could be cultivated.
Even with such a small amount of land, the fertility is very poor. Compared with the fertile land in Latin America that can produce three crops a year, it is not even considered garbage.
What's more, Hosokawa Mokiyuki had long known that since the Ming Dynasty drove them away from the Japanese country, the island had become a place of exile for Ming Dynasty criminals.
If they go back again, they may face a ruined homeland with countless vicious and evil people.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki let out a long sigh, stood up and shook his head vigorously: "It seems that Xinming has decided to become an enemy of Japan."
Zhu Gaochi still had the same smile as before, but the meaning revealed in his eyes was very clear.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki also took the risk and laughed and said: "You, Xinming, are now surrounded by enemies on all sides. If we go to war with the Japanese country again, I'm afraid you will also have a hard time. What's more, the Japanese country is no longer what it used to be.
.”
"Since Xinming cannot accept the surrender of Japan, then accept the anger of Japan!"
After saying that, Hosokawa Mokiyuki didn't even bother to salute and turned around to leave.
