This news made Xiao Ruxun frown, and also made the generals who were paying their New Year's greetings in Xiao Ruxun's tent feel a little strange.
Li Rusong immediately shouted, "What are they here for? Can't they see that we are celebrating the new year? Do those Japanese pirates want to eat our dumplings? I say, let those Japanese pirates go back to wash their necks clean and wait for me to chop them off! "
"Hahahahaha! General Li is too hot-tempered! "Xiao Ruxun smiled and waved his hand." No, no, no. What if they have thought it through and want to surrender? Subduing the enemy without fighting is the best strategy. Let them in. I want to see what these Japanese pirates are up to. "
Thus, a group of generals straightened their postures and held their swords at their waists. They looked majestic as they waited for the arrival of the Japanese pirates. Xiao Ruxun even asked someone to call Monk Xuan Su over to translate.
Monk Xuan Su quickly ran over, followed by the arrival of the Japanese pirates' envoy. There were five of them, one clerk and four soldiers. Their attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. They did not panic when they saw Xiao Ruxun and looked like they had a card up their sleeves.
"What business do you have with us? Our two armies are still at war. If you don't give me an explanation, I will behead you! "
Xiao Ruxun sat at the head of the table, looking majestic.
The generals all snorted in unison, glaring at the Wokou envoys. The entire tent was overflowing with murderous intent, causing the four Wokou soldiers to tremble in fear. On the other hand, the scribe envoy was neither servile nor overbearing. With a calm expression, he bowed to Xiao Ruxun using the Great Ming Dynasty's etiquette. He then opened his mouth and said, "This humble servant has come under the orders of my army's commander-in-chief, General Yu Xiduo, to discuss the matter of peace between the two armies. 0↑ 9 △ small ↓ say △ net] "
As soon as he said this, all the generals in the tent, including Yuan Huang, were surprised. They all looked at Xiao Ruxun.
"Yo, you can speak Mandarin. Xuan Su, you're useless now!"
Xiao Ruxun ignored the envoy and turned to look at Xuan Su with a teasing smile.
"There are many people in Japan who can speak the language of the Celestial Empire."
Xuan Su's face was full of flattery.
"Xuan Su? Jing Zhe and Xuan Su? It's you? Aren't you working for President Xiaoxi? Why was he here now? You're not dead? "
Xuan Su's face froze, and she covered her face with her sleeves.
Xiao Ruxun sneered and said, "President Xiaoxi is not dead, neither is Kato Kiyomasa. They were captured alive by me. I'm going to bring them back to Beijing and present them to His Majesty the Daming Emperor. First, I'll parade them in the streets, then behead them, and then spread their heads all over the land of the Daming Empire to tell the people of the Daming Empire that clowns will be killed no matter how strong they are!"
The Japanese pirates envoy swallowed unconsciously, then stood up straight and said, "Admiral Xiao, you're wrong. Our country sent troops to Korea to ask for tribute. Who knew that the King of Korea was so hateful. He not only killed our envoy, but also cut off our way to Korea. Our country had no choice but to send troops to Korea. What we asked for was just tribute. Of course, we also hope that the admiral can be magnanimous and release these two people."
"Hahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! Aiya, aiya, there are actually people in the world who yearn for our country so much? Did you hear that clearly? In order to pay tribute to the Daming Empire, the Japanese are actually sending 200,000 troops. Those who don't understand their desire to pay tribute might really think that they want to destroy Korea! "
Xiao Ruxun said these words in a strange tone, causing the generals in the tent to burst into laughter.
"Although this admiral is young, the amount of books I've read is no less than those cultured people. Is there any country in the world that would send 200,000 troops to attack another country just for the sake of paying tribute? Is there any country that would attack the whole of Korea and slaughter hundreds of thousands of its people just for the sake of paying tribute?! Do you think this admiral is an idiot?! Men! Drag them out! Behead them! "
"Yes!!"
The group of generals all answered in unison, pulling out their swords and rushing forward, they grabbed the five pirates and dragged them out to be beheaded. After a series of cries and howls, Xiao Ruxun saw the envoy hurriedly pull out a letter from his robes.
"Admiral Xiao! Admiral Xiao! This is a letter from our General! It's a letter from General Yukito! Please take a look! Please take a look!! "
"Wait! Bring his letter over. "
Xiao Ruxun only wanted to scare him a little, to dampen his arrogance. He had no intention of killing him.
The one who captured him was Luo Shangzhi. Luo Shangzhi snatched the letter and passed it to Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun received it and opened it, laughing coldly.
"Since ancient times, has there ever been an army that could leave easily without paying a price after surrendering? He's too optimistic. There's no need to say anything else, I can only understand the words related to benefits. Tell me, what are the benefits of agreeing to let you guys surrender and retreat. "
Xiao Ruxun casually tore up the letter from Yukito's family.
The Wokou envoy's face froze, and he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to say, "As long as Admiral Xiao agrees to surrender and retreat, we will return the two princes of Daehan to Admiral Xiao. We will also return the thirty thousand strong Daehan youths we captured, as well as the money and goods we plundered from Daehan."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Returning the 2 Korean princes is a prerequisite for negotiations. If we don't return them, forget about negotiations, we won't even have a chance."
Xiao Ruxun stated her request directly: "What's more, what you have to pay are all things that belong to North Korea that you plundered from North Korea. These things, as the Celestial Empire, do you think my Great Ming Dynasty will embezzle them and not return them to North Korea? These are also the prerequisites! As for you guys! You will have to take out your belongings in exchange for your lives! "
The Japanese pirates's expression changed, and he shouted: "But Admiral, although these things belong to North Korea, they are also the spoils of war of our army. Furthermore, our army has also suffered casualties. How can they be considered North Korea's belongings?"
"Oh, that's new. Didn't you say that you are not here to conquer North Korea, but for the tribute? Since it's for the tribute, you don't have the right to snatch other people's belongings, right? Or are you admitting that you are bandits and are negotiating with me from such a standpoint? "
Xiao Ruxun's words had led the Japanese pirates into a dead end.
"No … Admiral, Admiral, that's not what I meant. What I meant is … is …"
"Alright, you don't have to say anymore. Go back and tell the Yukita Shuu family that they can negotiate and surrender, but the prerequisite is that they return everything they have obtained from North Korea. After that, they can officially negotiate. Otherwise, there won't even be a chance to negotiate. Our army's cannons will flatten you in a matter of days!"
Xiao Ruxun's voice turned cold, and the Japanese pirates trembled in fear.
"Admiral … Isn't Admiral a little too overbearing …"
"So what if I'm domineering? Don't forget who you are. You are here to ask for peace. Whether you accept it or not is up to me. The reason why I am not attacking you now is to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf, and to stock up on cannons. If you are stubborn, before the fifteenth of the first month, I will lead my army to flatten all your cities and celebrate the Lantern Festival in your commander's castle! "
