Chapter 2823: Indemnity
"Yo, now we don't send people back to report, and we don't start fighting. What's the matter? Shall we go when we get bored?" Seeing this scene, Shen Long laughed, it's still the old routine, a little Nothing fresh.
"If they don't come, let's go there! Aim at the shore and shoot a few shots to see what they will do?" So the battleship continued to move forward, raising its muzzle to aim at Osaka City, and another wave of shells fell.
This time he did not use incendiary bombs like he did in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Last time, his purpose was to force Mrs. Qing to hand over eight reals, and rob a wave by the way. Now, he is forcing the Tokugawa shogunate to reach a trade agreement with him. , The purpose of the strategy is not the same, so the tactics will naturally be different.
If Nagasaki is completely destroyed, it will be inconvenient for future transactions. After all, the shogunate has only had such a foreign trade place for so many years.
Now they just need to let them know that they have the ability to destroy Nagasaki. A wave of shells flew into the city of Nagasaki. Nagasaki Makoto fainted, and then he was quickly awakened by his subordinates. You can't faint. If you faint , who will take the blame? We are small, but we can't carry it.
"What should I do now? The general handed over Osaka Castle to me to manage. If Osaka Castle is destroyed, I can only apologize to His Excellency the General by harakiri!" Osaka Makoto cried again. Why am I so unlucky? The former Osaka Makoto They all made a lot of money, why did this happen to me when it was my turn?
Those with a little brain stood on the castle tower and watched the shells launch from a distance, and after pondering for a while, they came back to report, "Even if such a large warship can hold many shells? There are so many warriors in Osaka Castle, they must not dare Going ashore, if you just fire cannons in the sea, it won’t hurt the foundation of Osaka Castle.”
Everyone can understand what he means as soon as they hear it, since we can't beat him, let's just shrink our heads and be a turtle! Anyway, the tortoise shell is hard enough, so they probably won't be able to break it open! They will leave naturally when they are tired from fighting! Speaking of being a tortoise, that is the skill of the Tokugawa family. Think about it, it might be a good idea.
It's a pity that before they were happy, Shen Long changed his strategy again, took out incendiary bombs, aimed at a certain warehouse on the port, fired a few shells, and immediately ignited the entire warehouse, and the nearby merchants ignored the danger Now, bring your men to put out the fire right away. It won’t work if you don’t put out the fire, or you’ll burn to yourself. I have the best silk from the Qing Dynasty in my warehouse. If it burns, you’ll have to hang yourself .
"Go back and tell Osaka Fengxing, if you don't agree, I will burn Nagasaki Castle! Then go to Edo, talk to your piss general, and see if Edo can stand the fire!" Shen Long said again A prisoner was sent.
The prisoner returned to the shore in a small boat, and said the original words to Osaka Fengxing. This time, there was nothing to say up and down the Osaka Castle. The Osaka Castle was full of wooden houses. Then Osaka City is really doomed, and after a few shells, you can still find a way to perfuse it, but if Osaka City is burned, there is really nothing to say.
Not to mention that they are going to Edo, if the general knows that these villains were sent to Edo by himself, then my whole family will have to pay for it! In desperation, Osaka could only send envoys to negotiate with Shen Long.
With a swipe of his pen, Shen Long made a condition, "Look at you bastards, if you don't want to do business with you, I have to deal with you first before you kneel down and agree! I don't want much. I will bring over some things that you Japanese ministers like, such as perfume, mirror, soap, silk, tea, etc., and then buy copper and saltpeter from you.
This is the minimum number of transactions per month, you can figure it out! "
Shen Long threw over a list, and the envoy immediately felt a lot of pressure after the result, "This... this is a bit too much, the country can't make up these numbers!"
"Then I don't care. If there are not so many things in next month, I will go to Edo to find your bed-wetting general!" Shen Long played a rogue, "I didn't ask you to come here for discussion, just say yes." Still don't agree!"
"Let's go back and discuss one or two!" The envoy can be such a big master, so he can only find a way to delay the time.
Shen Long didn't bother to waste time, "Go back and discuss it, wait for your incense burner." Lit a stick of incense and stuck it in the incense burner, pointed at the stick of incense and said, "If you don't agree before this stick of incense burns, I will continue to bombard Nagasaki Castle, but this time I will use the shells that were used to bomb the warehouse just now."
The envoy hurriedly got out of the way, and took the list back to Osaka Fengxing to have a look. Osaka Fengxing felt that although these things could be assembled, it was very difficult, but he had to agree now, so he asked the envoy to go back and reply. When the envoy returned, Osaka City was in complete chaos, and there were people fleeing in panic everywhere.
Large and small vehicles were filled with goods, blocking the road ahead. These were businessmen who were about to escape from Osaka Castle. The envoy was afraid of delaying time and triggering artillery fire, so he could only ask the guards to draw out their samurai swords and cut them all the way! These samurai were usually cheated by the usury of the merchants, and it was as if they were beaten with chicken blood when they got the order.
Yelling, he resumed his samurai sword and slashed it up. Besides slashing people, he secretly stuffed something in his pocket to subsidize the family. Hey, life is hard, and I really can’t live without some extra money.
I remember the emissary jumped up and down, what time is it, you guys still care about this, hurry up and clear a path for me, finally get out of Osaka Castle, get on the boat and row all the way to Shen Long's boat, at this time Xianxiang It happened that there was only the last point left, and those cannons were ready to fire. If he came a little later, Shen Long would really fire.
"It's still in time." Shen Long raised his hand to stop the gunners from attacking temporarily, and then asked, "How is it? Have you agreed to your commitment?"
"I have already agreed!" The messenger knelt down and sent the list, and Shen Long asked Osaka to fulfill all the promises.
"That's fine, let's settle another matter, and then we can start the first transaction!" Shen Long said lazily.
"Ah? What else is there?" The messenger panicked again.
Shen Long pointed to the cannon and shells and said, "If you promised earlier, it would be over? Why did it take so long? I wasted so many shells, it's all money, since you made me waste it , shouldn’t it be up to you to compensate?”
