Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 488 The Last Vote

Hearing what Gao Shishu said, the desperate eyes of the Japanese pirates suddenly lit up. One Japanese pirate swallowed his saliva nervously and looked at him hopefully: "...Gang leader, what do you mean by this? Is it possible... …Do you still have any backup plans?”

Gao Shishu glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "I have been retreating to Mingsha Island for so long. Do you think I just sit there and do nothing? After all, I have thousands of brothers who eat at me. It’s impossible for me not to be responsible for you.”

"As early as a month ago, I contacted the Fujiwara princes of Japan, and they expressed their willingness to accept us. Nowadays, Japan is in civil strife, and the princes are fighting endlessly. Fujiwara is quite strong. He has long been willing to compete for hegemony. Let’s recruit people.”

"You must know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if I, Gao Shishu, am now declining, I am still a powerful pirate with a great reputation. Not to mention that I have thousands of elite soldiers and generals under my command. I can fight wherever I am. It is a military force that cannot be ignored. If I can help Fujiwara, it will be even more powerful, which is the main reason why he is willing to accept us."

The Japanese pirates here are basically of Chinese origin. They have been wandering in the southeastern sea for most of their lives. The farthest place they have been to is Nanyang. They have never thought about developing in Japan. They were confused for a while, but they couldn't help but be tempted. Some people don't Definitely authentic:

"Is what the gang leader said true? Are the Fujiwara princes really willing to accept us? Not to mention the treatment he gives, the key point is that we are not familiar with the Japanese language and customs. I don't know if we will get used to it after going there..."

"Are you out of your mind!" The person next to him slapped him on the head, saying, "Do we have any choice now? If we stay and continue to be pirates, we will either wait to be beaten to death by officers or soldiers, or I was trapped on Mingsha Island and starved to death. It would be great to have a way to survive now, but you are still worried about whether you will get used to it!"

"Since the gang leader can say this, it must be the best choice after careful consideration. Anyway, everyone's lives are tied together now. If you stretch your head, you will shrink your head or you will cut it. It is better to follow the gang leader to Japan, maybe you will meet With some opportunities, you can also find a good future for yourself."

It was rare to see someone with a clear mind. Gao Shishu cast an approving look at this person and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we have no second choice now except going to Japan. I have already discussed this matter with Fujiwara. He promised to give us the best treatment. The life we ​​lived before will remain the same after we arrive in Japan."

"He has promised me that he will not impose too many restrictions on us, and we are still very free on weekdays. As long as we serve him as the master and help him strive for hegemony and unification of Japan, there will be countless glory and wealth in the future. Think about it... It will be much worse than the recruitment conditions offered by the imperial court to Tao Lian."

Gao Shishu has many wandering warriors from Japan under his command. It is indeed not difficult for him to contact the princes of Japan. His words are still very credible.

It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. The more chaotic and turbulent a society is, the easier it is to have opportunities to make contributions.Not to mention that these thieves and bandits are warlike and bloodthirsty by nature. Japan, which is undergoing civil strife, seems to be a natural battlefield prepared for them.

After hearing this, the Japanese pirates present were already moved, and they decided to make up their mind: "In that case, I will follow the leader of the Dinggao Gang. I will go wherever you go, and I will go to Japan to make a living! Having said that, When shall we leave?”

Gao Shishu said: "Soon, probably in more than ten days, a ship from the Fujiwara princes will come to pick us up."

"Then what are we waiting for!" Someone immediately couldn't sit still and stood up immediately, "You know we are moving to Japan with a group of people. With so many belongings inside and outside, it will take a lot of time to pack them up. I Go back and prepare now.”

"Not urgent."

Gao Shishu raised his hand to signal him to sit back, his eyes flashed, and he said gloomily: "Anyway, I, Gao Shishu, am also a well-known figure in the southeast, but now I am forced to do this by the government. If we just leave like this, what do we have to do with a bereaved dog?" Difference?" "To put it mildly, it will damage our reputation; to put it more seriously, it will make people think that we are spineless and incompetent. Even if we go to Japan, we will easily be looked down upon. In my opinion... before we leave , and then give him a vote with the government."

When everyone heard this, a rush of blood rushed to their foreheads, and their palms suddenly became sweaty. They looked at each other for a few times, and then looked at Gao Shishu in unison and asked nervously: "...What should we do?"

Gao Shishu's eyes were filled with darkness, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already inquired about it. On November [-]th, that is, ten days later, the government and Western merchants will transfer a large number of goods at the port of Ningbo Prefecture. All the goods will be transported. We might as well grab important goods like silk and tea and treat them as saving money for our future trip to Japan."

"During this period, the government's defense focus is mainly on Fujian. If we take advantage of them and attack the Ningbo government at this time, they will definitely not be able to react. Once we have snatched the goods, we will immediately set off for Japan. The officers and soldiers will pursue us even if they want to. Not on."

The Japanese pirates' eyes dazzled when they heard this, and they licked the corners of their mouths excitedly: "That's great! I have been huddled in Mingsha Island for several months without eating meat, and my sword is almost dull! This time I will definitely grab it and kill it." I’ll pay back all the anger I suffered from the officers and soldiers!”

"By the time the officials come to their senses, we have already gone to Japan Xiaoyao. What can they do to me!"

"That's right! After this last step, we will live a happy life!"

-

"...A few days ago, the Japanese daimyo Oda Sosuke came to report on behalf of the king, saying that Japan is currently in turmoil and the young master is doubtful. Although there are ministers of the country to help, it is still difficult to quell the civil strife. I sincerely request our court to send troops to calm down and help his young master secure the throne. .Your Majesty, how should you reply?"

At the court meeting, an official from the Ministry of Rites stood up and after finishing what he had said, he lowered his head and respectfully waited for Emperor Jingfeng's reply.

The so-called daimyo are the lords of Japan. Most of them occupy a certain amount of land and population and have their own armed forces.They are nominally under the command of the emperor, but in fact they have considerable power and freedom within their own territory. In many cases, even the emperor cannot control them.

Since Japan entered the Warring States period many years ago, daimyo from various places have risen and fought endlessly with each other. The emperor has become a nominal symbol, no more than a decoration.Today, the relationship between the Japanese daimyo and the emperor is just like the relationship between the princes and the emperor of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period of our dynasty, so some people also call them Japanese princes.

As a vassal state of Daxia, Japan has been experiencing civil strife for more than a day or two. In the past, their king also sent letters to the court asking for help, but the emperor ignored them.

The place in Japan is small and far away, and it is not the territory of our dynasty. We spend a lot of food and troops and send troops all the way there. What is the purpose?What are the benefits after winning?It's better to ignore the matter and just turn a blind eye.

However, this time, Emperor Jingfeng changed his mind.
