My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Li Yin's faint words caused a huge wave in Su Wo's heart. With the help of King Shu of the Tang Dynasty, it would be easy to defeat Brother Zhong and his noble coalition forces. He said: "His Royal Highness Shu King Seriously!", for the Suwo family, there is no way out now, and the result of failure is that the family is wiped out by Brother Zhong.

"Really! But the premise is that you have to pay the ransom. How about it, I won't make it difficult for you. Pay half of it first. With such a port, your Suwo family's wealth will definitely not be small. If you even take this If you don’t come out, it’s meaningless to support you, I might as well talk to Brother Zhong.” Li Yin threatened that if he helped Brother Zhong, the Suwo family would definitely be defeated.

Su Wo's face changed when he heard the words, and he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, our Su Wo family is willing to accept this condition, but because silver is not in circulation, although we occupy the silver mines, we do not mine in large quantities. We can't hand over the amount now, but as long as His Royal Highness King Shu gives our family three months, we can give five million taels of silver to His Royal Highness Shu King at once!"

"Three months? Well, this can also be considered, but you have to stay in Ryukyu as a hostage. This is no problem, but you don't have to worry. We will let you go back as soon as the ransom money arrives. At that time, our cooperation will be the best." It's officially started, so you have to pay the ransom as soon as possible in these three months, otherwise Brother Zhong's army will probably kill all of your family." Li Yin smiled, "Of course it's the best, then Minister Su, now you can write to your family. Let them come to the ship to discuss this matter."

Suga Ezo nodded, picked up the pen and began to write the letter. After the letter was finished, Suga Ezo went to the pier with the help of Su Dongxu and found a Japanese businessman. This Japanese businessman obviously knew Suga Ezo. He took the letter and hurried back. Not long after, a sea boat more than ten meters long sailed towards the fleet, and a person who looked very similar to Suga Ezo got off the boat.

   "Rulu!" After the man boarded the boat, Suga Eizo shouted, "Why did you go back to Nazhijin?"

  The young man didn't answer Suga Ezo's words immediately. Instead, he observed the surrounding situation, his eyes paused when he saw Li Yin, and he continued: "Pingjin City has been breached by Brother Zhong's coalition forces."

   "What! So fast!" Su Wo exclaimed in shock.

  Su Worulu nodded. With a gloomy look on his face, he remembered the contents of his father's letter, and said, "Father, are all the contents of the letter true?" Li Yin glanced at the two of them from time to time, and they communicated in Japanese language. He couldn't understand it at all. But judging from the expressions of the two, it must not be a good thing.

  After discussing for a while, Su Wo walked up to Li Yin and said, "His Royal Highness, King Shu. This is my son Su Worulu."

   "Su Worulu sees His Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty!" Su Worulu said in stiff Chinese, he doesn't seem to be proficient in Chinese like Su Wo Ezo.

  Li Yin nodded and said: "Excuse me. How is it? How is your father and son's discussion going?"

Su Wo hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is no big problem, but Pingjin City has been breached by Brother Zhong. The coalition forces will soon attack Su Wo's family's fief, and we are worried that it will affect the mining of silver mines, so I hope His Highness can Sell ​​us the weapons, but rest assured, Your Highness, we will buy these weapons with gold."

"You want to buy artillery? It's impossible. This kind of weapon will not be sold by me." Li Yin shook his head, and sold these artillery to them. Although Li Yin believed that they could not imitate them at all, they could still imitate some earthen artillery. out, and this is not conducive to his future plans.

  Su Wolu was young and energetic, he said: "His Royal Highness Shu, if you don't provide support, I'm afraid our Suwo family will be finished in three months, and what you want will be even more difficult."

I have to say that Su Worulu is very smart, and his words hit Li Yin's mind. In history, this big brother Zhong was a very wise person. If such a person is allowed to rule the Wa Kingdom, it will be very detrimental to his future colonial plans. The Japanese country is what he wants.

   After pondering for a while, he said: "I won't sell you the artillery, but I can sell you other things." After finishing speaking, Li Yin pointed to the plate armor worn by a soldier.

For Li Yin, selling the plate armor to the Japanese would not increase the threat of the Japanese to him, because now Li Yin's muskets can completely penetrate the plate armor. These plate armors can defend against bows and swords, but they cannot defend against musket bullets. , and Li Yin will not sell them the reinforced plate armor equipped by the Yizhou army, but the original plate armor, but even so, the combat power of the soldiers of the Suwo family equipped with plate armor will be a direct substitute.

   "Your Highness is talking about this kind of armor?" Suga Eizo's heart moved.

   "That's right!" Li Yin said to Sun Dongxu, "Give them two sets of plate armor and let them experience it for themselves."

   "Yes, Your Highness!"

  Suga Ezo and Suga Rulu immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Ten minutes later, Suga Ezo and Suga Rulu were both wearing plate armor. At this time, a few soldiers suddenly swung their knives and slashed at the two of them several times in a row, scaring them into screams.

   "How, is this kind of armor okay?" Li Yin asked with a smile when the shocked two took off their helmets.

The two of them no longer knew how to describe their feelings in words. If equipped with this batch of armor, his family's army would be invincible. Suga said excitedly: "We want this kind of armor, but this kind of armor What's the price?"

  Li Yan showed a reasonable expression, and he said: "The production of this kind of armor is very troublesome, and it also requires exquisite iron-smelting technology. The cost of a set is at least one hundred taels of gold."

"One hundred taels of gold?" Su Wo's scalp tightened, and his eyes turned around Li Yin's face. Li Yin's expression was very calm. He knew that this kind of armor could not be so expensive, but everyone Tang Shu King Shizi opened his mouth and there was nothing he could do. After all, this kind of armor was the only one, "We want five thousand sets!" He understood that the financial resources of the Suwo family were already the limit.

"Deal!" Li Yin showed a triumphant smile. Today's Yizhou industry is not as good as in the past. It only takes one week to make 5,000 sets of armor. "Delivery within one month, but our Yizhou rules, first Pay half the deposit."

Su Wo Eizo hated it, but he could only hate it. After all, money is only something outside of the body. Once the rule is stabilized, it can be searched back soon, but if the family’s foundation is lost, it will be all over. Under the two measures, this kind of The choice was easy, even if Li Yin doubled the price, they had to agree.

  The two sides reached an agreement verbally. Suga Ezo and his son discussed it. Suga showed a embarrassed expression at first, but finally agreed with gritted teeth.

   "His Royal Highness, wait a moment, our people will bring the gold over soon!" Suga Eizo said, "But I have to let my son Rulu go back in person for this matter!"

   "Of course there is no problem." At this time, Li Yin was very tolerant towards the two, after all, the two would be his cash cows in the future, and the mineral deposits of the Wa Kingdom would soon be in his pocket.

  Su Wo went into the deer and saluted Li Yin, and then returned the same way. Li Yin explained in front of Su Wo Ezo how Sun Dongxu treated Su Wo's guests, so that he could feel at ease.

One hundred taels of gold for a set of plate armor, 5,000 sets is 500,000 taels of gold, and half of it is 250,000 taels, which is twelve and a half tons if converted into tons. It is not easy to transport so much gold. It took several trips back and forth to deliver the two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold.

   After the verification was correct, Li Yin asked the soldiers to carry the yellow orange gold into the warehouse, "Within a month, it will still be this port, we will trade here!"

  Su Worulu translated Li Yin's words to Su Worulu, Su Worulu nodded and said something to Su Worulu, then Su Worulu bowed to Li Yin and left.

  Watching the last box of gold enter the warehouse, the corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, and he said, "Set sail and return to Ryukyu!"
