"Father." Kang Maocai said in a deep voice: "Do you want to tell the Ouchi clan about our attitude?" ”

"There's no hurry." Kang Tianqi said: "I have learned a lot of things for my father in the sea for decades, but the most important thing is nothing more than two words, caution. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't panic, as long as you do your own thing well, external threats are nothing more than threats, irrelevant, like a spring breeze. If you feel weak and need the help of others, then the external threat is the wind and frost of winter. ”

Kang Tianqi closed his eyes and said to Deng Qi beside him: "When you return to Pingdao in a few days, tell Brother Wang Zhiwu and persuade him not to get involved too deeply in the Northern Expedition of the Great Wei. ”

Deng Qi agreed in a deep voice and came out with his fists clenched.

After Deng Qi left, Kang Mao prayed to Kang Tian: "Father, my son has always been strange, and cooperating with Tianfang has never been considered by my father, I don't know what the reason is?" ”

"What's the reason, you kid can't figure it out?"

"Are you afraid of being criticized by future generations?" Kang Maocai smiled, as if he didn't take his father's idea for granted.

When a pirate, it's already completely notorious, and you're still afraid of these?

Of course, Tianfang people have prescribed conditions for the Kang family, which are quite generous and very attractive. If the Kang family is also used by the Heavenly Party, then Lanfang and the Three Buddhas and other countries will definitely not be able to resist the enemy, and the meaning of the Heavenly People is to naturalize these countries and the natives on those big islands into Heavenly Sects, and they can be allowed to stand on their own, but they must be owned by the Heavenly Sect.

The Tianfang people sent Pu Xingfeng and others to fight, and spent a huge amount of money to help the Kang family build weapons, train soldiers, and take the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop, so that the Kang family became the lord of the Wa Kingdom, and did not want the Kang family and the Wa Kingdom to become under the education of the Heavenly Fang, as long as the Tianfang fought the Great Wei again in the future, the fleet controlled by the Kang family and the civil and material resources of the Wa State helped the Tianfang people and Pu Xingfeng to help.

Kang Tianqi said: "I didn't study well as a young man, I was brave and ruthless, killing and hurting people, so I could only go into exile at sea." I don't complain about the imperial court, and I don't feel that Great Wei owes me. What is there to say about the path you have chosen? But when I was out on the sea, robbing others on ships of the sea, and killing what was good, was I not indebted in my heart? I was also injured by someone, the wound was suppurated, maggots, fever, and pain, and I only thought at that time, even if I was hanged, I wanted to go back to my hometown and die in the land of Great Wei. In my life, I have been down, but also beautiful, and now I am famous. I know that there will be no tablet for me in the ancestral shrine of the Kang family, but when the people in the clan mention it privately, they have to show their faces, after all, I have changed from an outlaw to a strong man on the side of the Japanese country, with 100,000 people and more than 1,000 warships. At this time, everyone can't remember how many evil things I have done, only that I am a prince, if I want, the general, the festival envoy, and the three grades of the show are at my fingertips. How can the people of the clan not dance when they mention me? After I die, you don't have to enclose it, but the court will definitely accept my bones to the clan cemetery for burial, and the people in the clan will also accept it, if there is really a spirit in the world, I can go underground, the ancestors will beat me with a stick, scold me for not being a weapon, and do a lot of evil things, but I have to say that I Kang Tianqi is a man, and I have not made the family too ashamed, and I live up to this surname. But if I attach myself to the Heavenly People, I will be troubled by the Great Wei, destroy my Han Society, and destroy my sect...... What virtues do you not know? Who can have an ancestral hall after that? If this is the case, I will also be a disgraced ancestor after I die, and what face will I have to meet the ancestors of my Kang family? All my life, I had a thick face and a black heart, and now I am old, and I look kind and amiable, but everyone is still afraid of me, because they know that I can kill people when I talk and laugh. But so far in my life, I still have things to fear. ”

It was the first time Kang Tianqi had talked to his son like this, and in the end, Kang Mao was already shocked.

He pondered for a long time, and finally hugged his father and said: "Don't worry, my lord, even if my subordinates scatter and die under the knife in the future, and flee to the sea, he will not be able to be taken by the heavenly people." ”

"That's the best." Kang Tianqi sighed heavily and said, "When the old man was young, Da Wei was still strong, who dared to fight Da Wei's idea?" Now it's okay, the Donghu people are becoming more and more arrogant, Wang Zhi Lao'er said when he recruited An, he didn't listen to the call, he surrendered on the surface, and he didn't obey the orders of the court. However, since the Northern Expedition, Wang Zhi was still willing to be used by the imperial court, and his fleet transported ordnance, personnel, grain and grass for the imperial court. Wang Zhi is also looking forward to a big victory in the imperial court, taking time to free up his hands, managing the sailors again, and regaining his prestige at sea. Fuck it, this guy doesn't care about anything for the sake of the old man. However, the old man also thinks so, if Dawei is really stronger, with the strength of the old man in his hands now, he will also make a festival and return to his hometown, wouldn't it be happy? Now stooping down in this Wa country, what about being comparable to a daimyo, doing a dojo in a screw shell, like a brocade robe at night, so unhappy. Now that Nan Anhou, like an outstanding relative in the clan, some people say that he is the young King of Qi, I don't think so, he is more decisive than the King of Qi, and he doesn't seem to be a person who takes the rules and guidelines seriously, such a person has the qualifications to be the overlord. ”

Kang Maocai said: "Father means that we help them? ”

"No!" Kang Tianqi said: "Let's not make a move, let's see how the people he sent out, whether they are good enough, not only look at Nan Anhou himself, but also look at the people he envoys." If you are submissive and timid, you will not be able to support you. You have to remember what kind of lord you are and what kind of subordinates you use. Then what King Zhao is also thinking about recruiting me, don't you see what kind of people he sent over? If it weren't for a little incense, the old man would have directly tied up the people he sent and Shen Hai. What Prince Huangzi, his son is the Son of Heaven, he does things without rules, he acts recklessly, and he thinks that his blood is noble? But I forgot, Son of Heaven, soldiers and horses can be strong, and this statement will always be true! ”

It was only then that Kang Mao realized what a ridiculous joke it was for someone to say that his father was old.

Old and strong, with a firm heart and a strong will, this is the king of pirates who can cross the seven seas and achieve a career!

……

Chen Daojian didn't know the movements of the Kang family, but the undercurrent here in the Wa Kingdom was quite obvious.

In the evening, Chen Daojian picked up the lamp and read at night, and generally understood the movements here in the Wa Kingdom.

There is no clear attitude towards the Muromachi Palace, foreign trade, and the Great Wei, Tianfang, Manchu, Srivijaya and other countries.

Emotionally, it may be that the shogun was more inclined to maintain a good relationship with the Great Wei.

After all, from the time the Tang envoys were sent, the Wa Kingdom began to learn the Chinese rules and regulations, the way of culture and education, including architecture and tea ceremony, all of which were learned from the Great Wei.

The high-level of the Japanese people can easily and fluently write Chinese characters, write Chinese poems, and even use Chinese to converse.

Most of the texts of the Japanese people were written in Chinese characters, although they were mixed with their own scripts, unlike the Bohai and Korean states, where the rules and regulations were written entirely in Chinese, and they did not have their own scripts.

On the other hand, the Wa Kingdom has its own language, which uses about 70% of Chinese characters, and the high-level can use all Chinese characters to read books, write poems, and have dialogues.

However, Chen Daojian does not think that this kind of cultural connection can make the Japanese people abandon realistic considerations, which is complicated and understandable.

The Great Wei is in continuous decline, the Celestial people are aggressive, although the Celestial side is also facing various pressures in the homeland, and it may fall apart at any time, but at least at the current stage, it still looks like a behemoth, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

There are many things to consider at the top of the Wa Kingdom, and the cooperation with the Nan'an Hou Mansion seems to be a trivial matter, but it is easy to be seen as a choice between Tianfang and Great Wei, and its prudence and hesitation are quite understandable.

It was because when Zhang Bofu returned to the station and reported to Chen Daojian that the Ouchi family had no plan to meet for the time being, Chen Daojian did not show negative emotions such as anger.

"I'm afraid the meaning of the Ouchi family is that they don't ask, and they don't guarantee anything." Zhang Bofu was quite angry and said: "We have spent thousands of times before, from its warriors to the elders of the family, almost everyone has sent them, this is millions of dollars, and it is a specialty of the Great Wei, calligraphy and painting, antiques, and it is even more valuable here in the Wa Kingdom." Received things, but did not do things for others, the Japanese boasted of their faith and righteousness, and it seemed that they were also bragging a lot. ”

"It's a matter of big politics, and it's useless to give gifts." Chen Daojian closed the file, smiled, pinched the bridge of his nose again, and said to Zhang Bofu: "If the generals and the daimyo fail to reach an agreement, the most important thing is what does the governor of Ouchi Shengda think, do you choose to fight against Manchu Jia and face the threat of Pu Xingfeng now, or do you want to be false and delay time?" ”

"What's more important is that our Nan'an Hou Mansion has not yet shown something that can be respected." Chen Daojian said thoughtfully: "Cotton, raw silk, including salt, tea, sugar, these things we are working on, but they have not yet succeeded, commercially, we have potential, but people only see our publicity, not the real thing." If you were a daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, would you be willing to bet right now? As for the sailors and the army, they only listened to us themselves, and they did not see our fleet appear in the port of the Japanese country. So despise us, and don't even treat us as dishes, isn't it a matter of course? ”

"That's right." Zhang Bofu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "But contempt is nothing, I heard a small person say that there are people in the Heavenly Envoy who know that our Nan'an Hou Mansion sent people here, and the Heavenly People are estimated to negotiate with the Japanese people, and let the Ouchi family kill us all to determine the cornerstone of cooperation." If this is the case, if the villain's life is not at stake, I am afraid that the adult will also be at risk. ”

Chen Daojian said very calmly: "What do you think? ”

"It's not unfounded." Zhang Bofu said with a pale face: "I see that the adults will board the ship tonight and get out of danger." ”

"Then you'll be a joke." A smile appeared on Chen Daojian's face, and he said to Zhang Bofu: "Do you think someone really has someone to give you the wind?" The money spent is not counted, and it is nothing more than two intentions to give you through the wind, one is to tell us that the hesitation and unfriendliness of the Japanese people come from the pressure of Pu Xingfeng, and they have nothing to do with themselves. Second, let's try it and see how we react. Even if we really run away this time, how will we talk about cooperation in the future? When something happens, run away, like an envoy? ”

"But I'm in a foreign country, what can I do?"

"You don't understand the habits of the Japanese people." Chen Daojian said: "If we can solve the best problem, if we can't solve it, we should stay here and apologize to our lord and the master's family, which has brought trouble to others...... This is the habit of the Japanese people. If you can't do anything, you will take your life. ”

Zhang Bofu was dumbfounded and said, "What is the truth of this? ”

"This is their 'way'," Chen Daojian said, "They live in their own circle, and they live very well." ”

"So what do we do?"

"What should I do?" Chen Daojian suddenly laughed and said, "Since you are here, use their Dao to solve things...... You gather all the people stationed there, and I will send an order to Fu No. 1 to send all the sailors and soldiers to come. ”

"Good!" Zhang Bofu did not shirk out of unexpectedness, nor was he timid or afraid, he gritted his teeth and said: "When I first selected people to come here, I said that it was not safer than in the Eastern Domain, and since I came out, I had to fight, I listened to Lord Chen." ”

"Very good," Chen Daojian said peacefully, "the sailors are willing to come, tell them that each of them will be rewarded with twenty yuan, and I am in charge of this matter." Those who were wounded in battle and died in battle should be dealt with according to the example of the government army, and they will be given pension money and their families will be provided for in old age. If you don't want to come, you will never blame it, the sailors are not soldiers in the first place, and they are not obliged to fight. ”

"Yes, the villain will do it immediately."
