Han Du smiled slightly, "But later I discovered that at a certain time, there would be a thick fog that would not clear away for several days. You must have discovered this a long time ago and took advantage of the opportunity for the thick fog to break out.
escape."
Hosokawa Mokiyuki looked at Han Du for a moment, lowered his head and sighed helplessly, "My father-in-law is right, we did leave under the cover of thick fog."
"There must be a lot of people who left at the beginning, right? How many people were there?" Han Du asked curiously.
Hosokawa Noriyuki didn't answer. He looked up at Han Du and smiled, "Do you want to find out about the situation in Japan through my mouth?" ??
"Do I still need to inquire about your situation?" Han Du smiled faintly, "Although you escaped from the Japanese island through the thick fog, there was not much time left for you at that time, and you could not escape in a short time.
Too many ships were built in a short period of time. And the more ships there are, the easier it is to be discovered by the navy."
"So you must have very few ships at that time, and the number of people who could leave the island was only ten thousand at most."
As for this, Handu calculated it based on the number of people a ship could hold if it was completely packed.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki smiled and shook his head slightly, obviously not thinking that Han Du's words were right.
Han Du didn't care and continued, "Considering that you went out to sea in a hurry, you must not be fully prepared. In addition, there are various diseases at sea and the storms you may encounter."
Finally, Handu concluded, "The number of people you can reach Latin America is at most 20,000 to 30,000, and probably even less than 30,000!"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki looked at Han Du without saying a word, but his eyes suddenly opened wide.
Han Du saw the change in his expression and knew that he had guessed correctly.
But Hosokawa Mokiyuki lowered his head and said with full of grievance, "The world is vast, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to occupy every inch of the world. Can't you leave us some land?"
At the end of the sentence, Hosokawa Mokiyuki raised his head and stared at Han Du with red eyes. He no longer had the initial fear of Han Du, and all the fear of Han Du in his heart turned into anger.
Han Du smiled slightly, looked at him seriously, shook his head and sighed, "You also said that there is a lot of land in the world. If that's the case, why do you have to choose to be next to Ming Dynasty every time?"
"Why do you mean we have to be next to the Ming Dynasty?" Hosokawa Mochiyuki became angry instantly and shouted hysterically, "The Japanese country and the Ming Dynasty are across the sea from each other and are not close to each other at all, but you don't hesitate to build warships.
We must destroy the Japanese country!"
"We hid on the other side of the ocean again. This is far enough away from the Ming Dynasty, right? But you have to branch out to join us! Now, you actually say that we shouldn't be next to the Ming Dynasty?"
Facing Hosokawa Mochiyuki's angry accusations, Han Du just responded calmly. After he finished speaking, Han Du said calmly, "The reason for going to Japan to conquer Japan is because you allowed Japan to kill our people, the Ming Dynasty!"
Looking at Mochiichi Hosokawa with a sneer, Han Du sneered, "Don't call you so innocent, as if you were bullied. But in the years of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese country was closely related to the Central Plains. With the national power of the Tang Dynasty at that time,
Can we destroy you? But what is the result? Datang still chose to live in friendship with you."
"When we got to the Song Dynasty, we also had enough strength to destroy you. But the Song Dynasty didn't do this either, and even fought with you
Strengthen trade and bring culture and skills to you."
"But how did you do it? With the skills of the Central Plains, after hundreds of years of development, you in turn invaded the Ming Dynasty's territorial waters and killed the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"The destruction of your country is entirely your own fault. You can only blame yourself and no one else!"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki was speechless for a moment. Judging from the past dynasties, the Central Plains had indeed not treated the Japanese country badly, but
"It was the ronin who invaded the Ming Dynasty, not the Japanese! In this case, it would be enough for the Ming Dynasty to wipe out the ronin, so why did it want to destroy all the Japanese countries?"
"Hahaha" Han Du was so angry that he burst into laughter and pointed at Hosokawa Mochizuki, "You are considered a high-level official of the Japanese country, so you can say such a thing? How did the ronin come to the Ming Dynasty? Didn't you deliberately condone it?
"
"If you didn't secretly help the Japanese pirates, how could they sail to the Ming Dynasty with just their poor people?"
"Also, where did the gold, silver, treasures and goods that the Japanese pirates stole from the Ming Dynasty go? Didn't they fall into the hands of you people?"
"Now you are telling me that Japan was wronged? Don't you think it's funny?"
Hosokawa Mochiyuki was immediately speechless. Although he had never done such a thing personally, he had heard people in his family mention the Ronin thing.
"Whether you believe it or not, sir, we really do not condone the rogues invading the Ming Dynasty."
As he spoke, Hosokawa Mokiyuki took a deep breath, "At that time, there was a war between the north and the south of Japan, and many ronin had lost their lords and could only wander around."
"So you just don't stop doing anything and lure all the Japanese pirates to the Ming Dynasty, right?" Han Du stared at Hosokawa Mochichi and said coldly.
"This can not only eliminate the instability caused by too many rogues in your territory, but also obtain the wealth of the Ming Dynasty through rogues. It is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone!"
Hosokawa Mochizuki remained silent, taking a deep breath and slowly shaking his head, "Now that the Japanese country has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, what is the meaning of what happened at the beginning? Please show your noble hands and give Her Majesty the Queen a way out."
Seeing Hosokawa Mokiyuki moving Komatsu Reiko out, Han Du raised his eyebrows, "Is it Komatsu Reiko who asked you to spread this rumor?"
Hosokawa Mochiyuki hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly, "Yes."
It's not that he doesn't want to hide it, it's just that he knows that in front of a smart man like Han Du, concealing it will not be of any use except irritating Han Du.
Even if he didn't say anything, Han Du could easily deduce the facts.
It's very simple. Without the approval of Her Majesty the Queen, how could he, a minister, dare to spread rumors about Her Majesty?
Han Du looked at Hosokawa Mochiyuki, but his mind went back to the last time he saw Reiko Komatsu.
"When she used this matter to blackmail me, I had already exposed her conspiracy. Why, now she wants to embarrass herself in front of me again?"
"What are you saying that I have a child with her? I haven't even slept with her. Where did the child come from?"
An anxious look suddenly appeared on Hosokawa Mochiyuki's face, "Sir, Your Majesty the Queen did spend that night in the same room with you, and I was guarding the door at that time. It is absolutely true."
"Don't come!" Han Du waved his hand to interrupt him. Han Du smiled slightly, "But later I discovered that at a certain time in this place, there would be a thick fog that wouldn't clear for several days. You must be
I had discovered this a long time ago and took advantage of the thick fog to escape."
