Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 700

It is now certain that this young master is the one who calls the shots, but isn’t Imagawa Ryotoshi the person with the highest status in Saga Castle?

With this doubt, Shimazu Motohisa deliberately pretended that he did not understand Chinese and showed no expression when he heard anything.

However, Shimazu Motohisa was still thinking too much. He wanted to hear more useful information by hiding himself.

But he didn't know that his existence was of no use to Wei Wu, or rather that he had no value at all.

Now that the coalition forces of the three countries have been completely wiped out, only about 500 soldiers are left on his side.

In this battle, more than 7,000 people died on both sides combined, a number that Wei Wu was quite satisfied with.

So, after Zhang Hai finished talking about Shimazu Motohisa's identity, Wei Wu just waved his hand indifferently.

"Whether he is the young master of the Shimazu family or not has anything to do with me. Doesn't the young master need to die? Drag him out and bury him."

After hearing Wei Wu's instructions, Zhang Hai turned around without saying a word and prepared to carry out Wei Wu's orders.

At this critical moment, Shimazu Motohisa spoke, and in Chinese.

"No, don't kill me!"

It’s not that Shimazu Motohisa didn’t want to hide it, but mainly because Wei Wu’s unreasonable behavior was too scary.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they interrogate him first and try to get some important information from him?

Why is this person in front of me playing by the rules? He just comes up and attacks me, leaving me no chance to survive.

When Wei Wu heard Shimazu Motohisa speaking Chinese, he raised his eyebrows and looked at this guy with interest.

"Give me a reason not to kill you?"

Seeing that there was someone to talk about, Shimazu Motohisa spoke his reasons at a very fast speed.

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape. My father is about to unify the Nine Kingdoms Island. If you kill me, he will definitely avenge me."

"If you don't kill me and let me go, I promise not to retaliate, and I will even ask my father to spare you."

Wei Wu really didn't expect that Shimazu Motohisa would choose to speak to him in a threatening manner at this time.

Looking at Shimazu Motohisa, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"I have to say you're very brave! You dare to threaten me at this time? You really are that person!"

As soon as Wei Wu said this, Shimazu Motohisa's expression changed immediately, and he quickly said:

"Although all our troops died in this battle, you're not having an easy time either. There should only be a few hundred people left!"

"You only have a few hundred people now, and Hyuga and Satsuma also have a few hundred people. You are no match for my Shimazu family."

"Father has secretly trained three thousand soldiers, all of them elite. If the army approaches, you will have no chance of winning."

After hearing this, Wei Wu finally understood that this was Shimazu Motohisa's confidence. No wonder he dared to speak in a threatening manner.

It’s a pity that Wei Wu was not threatened by him, but he was a little surprised by the three thousand elite soldiers mentioned by Shimazu Motohisa.

Osumi Province was just a daimyo province, but it had the ability to secretly raise so many soldiers. Its ambitions were huge!

To be honest, Wei Wu is now quite grateful that Shimazu Motohisa was caught at this critical moment.

Otherwise, once he left Kyukoku Island for Kyoto, Zhang Hai who stayed here might be in danger.

If what this guy said was true, once the army came, the 500 soldiers under Zhang Hai's command would not be able to stop them at all.

Unless Zhang Hai has ten cannons and five hundred soldiers to cooperate with him, he would be able to fight the enemy for a while.

But when Imagawa Ryotoshi came from Kyoto, he only brought four gates, one of which was destroyed by Wei Wu.

"It seems that we have to deal with this hidden danger before going to Kyoto! However, we have to confirm that he is telling the truth first."

Muttering to himself, Wei Wu raised his head and looked at Shimazu Motohisa.

"They say people can make up any nonsense to survive. It seems that this is true. You are really good at making up stories!"

"A mere Daimyo state can afford to support three thousand elite soldiers? Even your entire Shimazu family couldn't afford it if they sold their butts."

Seeing that Wei Wu did not believe what he said, Shimazu Motohisa immediately became anxious and quickly explained:

"I'm not making this up. Everything I said is true. Father started planning it twenty years ago and only just brought it out now."

"And we don't need to support those 3,000 elite soldiers. Father has quietly placed them on Yakushima and Tanegashima."

"These two islands are not only warm but also have abundant rainfall. Rice can be harvested three times a year, so there is no shortage of food."

Wei Wu had some doubts before, but now after hearing what Shimazu Motohisa said, he believed it in his heart.

Because he also knew the two islands that Shimazu Motohisa mentioned, their names did not change in later generations, and they were still called Yakushima and Tanegashima.

The most important thing is, as Shimazu Motohisa said, these two islands can indeed support 3,000 people.

Their geographical location is in the subtropical region, which not only has sufficient sunshine but also abundant rainfall. It is no exaggeration to call it a plant paradise.

Among them, the southern part of Tanegashima is particularly rich in rice, and was later known as the "Rice Town". It is very easy to support 3,000 people.

After confirming that what Shimazu Motohisa said was true, Wei Wu began to think about how to deal with these 3,000 soldiers.

In fact, it is not difficult to deal with these soldiers. After all, Imagawa Ryotoshi has 5,000 people under his command, and now they are prisoners.

Even so, Wei Wu kept Imagawa Ryotoshi useful and did not launch a complete killing spree. If it were the Shimazu family, the situation would be different.

He drove his tank straight forward and crushed the entire army along the way, and with the help of the Wuchang Squad's infantry and tank coordination, he had no worries and just killed!

The key is to know the movements of these three thousand people before taking action, and this requires the cooperation of Shimazu Motohisa.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu once again fixed his gaze on Shimazu Motohisa and asked with a smile:

"If I'm not mistaken, you really want to live, right?"

Shimazu Motohisa was stunned, thinking: Isn't your question nonsense? Who wants to die when they can live?

Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart, and on the surface he just nodded in response.

"Yes."

After Shimazu Motohisa finished speaking, Wei Wu spoke again:

"If you want to live, then tell me everything you know, for example, where the three thousand soldiers are stationed."

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Shimazu Motohisa quickly said:

"In order to dispatch the troops as quickly as possible, my father placed them in Kumamoto Castle. As long as...Ah!!!"

Before Shimazu Motohisa could finish his words, a dagger pierced his thigh and he let out a scream.

Then he heard Wei Wu's cold voice.

"Lie again, and next time it'll be my heart!"
