Chapter 453 Choice
Hikawa Okamoto returned to Zhongshan Kingdom this time. He originally brought more than 300 Japanese masters and 500 Japanese pirates who traveled across Southeast Asia. Because he knew that Yang Xingzhou had seized his house, he couldn't wait to lead more than 30 confidants to kill him.
He thought that killing Yang Xingzhou was just a trivial matter and did not require the use of so many subordinates.
As a result, he made a misjudgment and didn't even have a chance to call for help. He was beaten to death by Yang Xingzhou on the spot, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
When he faced Sun Baifa, the head of the Sun family, he was still able to withstand one move, and he knew in advance how powerful Sun Baifa was, so he was extremely careful and prepared to run away if something went wrong, so that he could escape with his life, but in
When he faced Yang Xingzhou, he didn't know that Yang Xingzhou was so scary. By the time he realized how powerful Yang Xingzhou was, it was too late to escape, so he died very simply.
But his death shocked all the 800 subordinates who had just disembarked from the ship at the shore. Especially in the distant restaurant, they watched Yang Xingzhou kill Taro Hikawa Okamoto with one blow, and then killed more than 30 people with three moves.
After being escorted by Taro Hikawa Okamoto, the Japanese pirates no longer even thought about avenging their leader. They rushed out of the restaurant and boarded the ship in a hurry. When Yang Xingzhou was about to kill them all in one go, they had already left the port and fled towards the Japanese country.
.
Even Hikawa Okamoto Taro couldn't block Yang Xingzhou's move. Needless to say, people like them, no matter how strong the bushido spirit is, it depends on who they are facing. When facing a ruthless person like Yang Xingzhou, the most rational way is to go to the enemy.
The boat escapes.
After learning that these people had escaped, Yang Xingzhou was too lazy to chase him. What he wanted was for these people to return to the Japanese country and report the news. Only if these people returned to the Japanese country to report the news, the Japanese people would have a reason to send troops. By then, the chaos in Ryukyu would be better, and only muddy water could
Fishing.
The battle at the gate of the small courtyard caused a sensation throughout Ryukyu, and the whole country of Zhongshan was shocked.
Taro Hikawa Okamoto was so powerful in the Zhongshan Kingdom that even General Mao Fengyi and his thousands of officers and soldiers could not deal with him. He was regarded as a monster by the Zhongshan people. Although the people hated him, they were also afraid of him. There had been many Zhongshan people before.
The national masters challenged Hikawa Okamoto, but in the end they were all killed by Hikawa Okamoto Taro, and almost none of them survived.
At first, the people of Zhongshan were filled with righteous indignation, but as more and more people died, this hatred has evolved into fear, and fear has turned into despair. In the past two years, no one has dared to challenge him.
But now, this guy who was regarded as the devil by the people of Zhongshan was beaten to death by Yang Xingzhou with his bare hands in front of many people. Not only did he beat Hikawa Okamoto to death, he also took Hikawa Okamoto Taro with him.
More than 30 top security guards were also beaten to death in public, and then they even occupied Taro Hikawa Okamoto's house at the port, killing people and occupying the house. It was really cruel and overbearing to the extreme!
The name Yang Xingzhou spread throughout Ryukyu Island for the first time, making people realize that the people from the Central Plains were more terrifying and more powerful than the Japanese people.
"Brother Yang, why did you really beat Taro Hikawa Okamoto to death?"
The day after Yang Xingzhou killed Hikawa Okamoto, Mao Fengyi led a crowd to visit Yang Xingzhou, looking furious: "Our country of Zhongshan is not ready to deal with the invasion of Japan. If you kill him now, will you?"
Didn't you deliberately give the Japanese a reason to attack our country? What is your intention?"
Yang Xingzhou looked puzzled: "Yeah, yeah, brother Mao, you can't say that. Someone Yang finally said, since we reached an agreement last time, then I will naturally act in accordance with the agreement. This time, Taro Hikawa Okamoto
, I will kill as soon as I say, it is completely fulfilling my promise, what is wrong with me?"
Mao Fengyi said angrily: "I want to kill Taro Hikawa Okamoto, but I can't kill him now! As for Taro Hikawa Okamoto, the main thing now is to stabilize him. Only our soldiers are prepared to deal with the enemy.
It’s not too late to kill him and sacrifice the flag! If you kill him now, you will definitely anger the Japanese army. When the Japanese army comes, how can I, Zhongshan, resist with only a few soldiers?"
Yang Xingzhou was very unhappy: "The two countries, strong and weak, are adjacent to each other. They have always been close friends and close friends. You Zhongshan people are useless. You have been adjacent to the Japanese country for so many years and have not even made preparations for a war. Who can you blame? I just can't
Kill Hikawa Okamoto Taro. The Japanese will fight against you even if they are fighting against you. If the country is weak, it will be beaten! You can’t blame others! You can’t even blame me!”
Mao Fengyi was furious for a moment, but she had no words to refute. Yang Xingzhou was right. It has always been the historical nature of dynasties and many countries to make distant friends and attack close friends. Zhongshan Kingdom is adjacent to the Japanese Kingdom, so it should be prepared for the Japanese Kingdom to attack at any time. However,
Now the death of Taro Hikawa Okamoto has alarmed the imperial court, which shows how weak the imperial court of Ryukyu Nakayama Kingdom is. Even before the war started, it was already so frightened that even the imperial court itself was panicked.
Facing future Japanese attacks with this mentality, the consequences can be foreseen.
He did not dare to fall out with Yang Xingzhou. He could not afford to offend Taro Hikawa Okamoto, nor could he afford to offend Yang Xingzhou, who killed Taro Hikawa Okamoto. He immediately stamped his feet, let out a long sigh, and turned around to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yang Xingzhou shouted from behind: "I fulfilled my promise and killed Taro Hikawa Okamoto. You must also fulfill your promise and lend me this port!"
Mao Fengyi did not look back and shouted: "Okay, on behalf of the king, I promise to lend you an area of this port for you to use for three years. If our country is still there after three years, you will be able to use it rent-free. If I
The Zhongshan Kingdom is no longer here, so you will have no choice but to negotiate with the Japanese Kingdom!"
As he talked and walked, his words were desolate, as if he had a premonition that his court's time was running out, and even the figures in the distance became desolate.
Seeing this situation, Yang Xingzhou shook his head: "He can be considered a loyal minister and a good general. It's a pity that Ryukyu is a small country and the court is incompetent. This guy will be worried in the future!"
In history, Mao Fengyi once asked China for help as an envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom. However, the request for help was sabotaged by another envoy Jin Yingyuan, so that the Chinese court had no way of knowing. Ryukyu could not compete with the Japanese country, and the Zhongshan Dynasty perished. Mao Fengyi worked hard.
, and eventually turned into running water.
Shortly after Mao Fengyi left, a letter was sent from the Japanese country. The person who wrote the letter was Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Japanese shogunate, and the person who sealed it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The letter severely condemned Hikawa Okamoto Taro for being in the Zhongshan Kingdom.
After his death, the Zhongshan Kingdom was asked to hand over the murderer Yang Xingzhou so that they could avenge the Japanese warrior elite Hikawa Okamoto Taro.
If they could not hand over the murderer, they asked the Zhongshan Kingdom to open its borders and allow the Japanese Kingdom to send troops to capture Yang Xingzhou. At the same time, they asked the Zhongshan Kingdom to sever tribute relations with the Central Plains and change the tribute object to the Japanese Kingdom in the future. Otherwise, they would definitely send troops to destroy him.
All living things on Ryukyu Island.
This letter was strongly worded and had a strong sense of threat. After reading it for a long time, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom thought that Yang Xingzhou was just a martial arts man in the Central Plains. Even if he caught it, the Central Plains court would not send troops to Ryukyu. On the contrary, this kind of martial arts fanatic would
Just because the court was displeased, killing him on his behalf might actually make the Central Plains court happy. As for the rumors that Yang Xingzhou was more powerful than Hikawa Okamoto Taro, the monarch didn't really believe it.
The reason why Hikawa Okamoto Taro was not killed by Mao Fengyi was because the King of Zhongshan stopped him in time. Otherwise, if Mao Fengyi had been allowed to lead the army in a fierce battle, ten Hikawa Okamoto Taro would also have been killed.
Now as long as Yang Xingzhou can be killed, the Japanese army can be delayed. From the perspective of the Shimazu family, the king of Zhongshan, this can still be done. They immediately called the secret guards and asked them to lead 300 elite troops to the port where Yang Xingzhou was located.
