"I'm here to find out the news, right?" Kang Tianqi's face showed a tired look, and finally leaned on the soft couch, and said: "The news has been confirmed, Yan Qi and Li Dan have gathered soldiers and horses, and plan to come to the sea on this side of the Wa Kingdom within a month. The Muromachi Palace, the daimyo of all parties, have ordered the samurai to mobilize. The first to bear the brunt is the Ouchi family, the Hosokawa family and several others, of course, the most important thing is the old man here, because I have already ordered the ships to be on guard, and the major masters have sent samurai, ashigaru, and can be sent to fight at any time. ”

Chen Daojian said: "Kang Shuai and these two, isn't it a good relationship? ”

Kang Tianqi said with a smile: "We people have done a lot of things to lick blood with knives, and we have not done a lot of things to slaughter villages and destroy cities." Who can trust whom? There was an agreement before, but it was just a benefit, and there were many people who supervised it, so everyone could only act in good faith. If there is no supervision, no one will take faith seriously. I walked closer to Wang, and we were Wei people, Yan Qi and Li Dan, one of these two was Siamese and the other was Luzon, and it is said that they both had Wei blood, and no one could say anything about this. But they will never value Dawei as much as the old man and Wang Zhilao'er. Now the heavenly side is powerful, Yan Qi and Li Dan have been following Pu Xingfeng, and now Pu Xingfeng is entangled by the war of the Three Buddhas and can't get out, behind Manchu Jia, there is Siamese to help, Zhenla, Zhancheng, these countries are also eyeing Manchu Thorn Jia, these countries are small countries, but the land power can not be underestimated, Manchu Thorn Jia once invaded Siam, and returned defeated. Pu Xingfeng can't get out of a year or two, I see, he wants to destroy the Three Buddhas and Lan Fang within a year or two, and it is also difficult. ”

Chen Daojian pondered: "Then Kang Shuai means that Yan Qi and Li Dan are driven by Pu Xingfeng to come?" ”

"Roughly about."

"Within a year or two, Pu Xingfeng will not be able to eat Srivijaya Qi and Lan Fang at all, and Kang Shuai said that he still has the threat of Siam and Champa. So why bother getting along with Kang Shuai? Yan and Li are evenly matched with Kang Shuai at most......"

Kang Tianqi closed his eyes slightly and did not answer.

Chen Daojian stood up and said with a resolute face: "Kang Shuai's meaning, I understand it, I originally decided to leave tomorrow morning, and I will leave by boat at dawn tomorrow to return to the Eastern Domain, and I can't go back to say goodbye to Kang Shuai in person, and I still ask Kang Shuai to forgive me." ”

Kang Tianqi nodded and said, "You are a smart descendant, I am optimistic about you, and I am also optimistic about what Nan'an Hou did in the Eastern Domain." The two of us can rely on each other a lot in the future, and you can bring this to Nan Anhou for me to know. ”

Chen Daojian hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation must bring Kang Shuai's meaning, I believe Nan Anhou will also understand." ”

Kang Tianqi nodded and watched Chen Daojian turn around and leave.

After a while, Kang Mao entered from the side room and said to Kang Tian, "Father, this future life really understands, right?" ”

"Of course." Kang Tianqi thumped his legs and said with a smile: "The old man has never looked at people in his life, and what he has said is so obvious, if he still doesn't understand, then the old man has lost his eyes." Luckily, as soon as I said it, he understood immediately. If it weren't for the bad weather in the past two days, and many ships in the harbor were sheltering from the wind, and it was not easy to get in and out, I think he would have left tonight. ”

Kang Maocai sighed with emotion: "Nan Anhou is really good, he can control such subordinates, our father and son, there is no such young man around him." ”

Kang Tianqi laughed at himself: "Most of the people around us are outlaws, businessmen, and those Japanese nobles are respectful to us, when do you think they will talk to us directly?" Nan Anhou sent a hairless messenger to come, and the head of the Ouchi family saw him in person, why? Because he has an official position in the Great Wei, he is a serious court official, and he has an official status. We have more than 100,000 people, who are kings who sound good, handsome, and ugly, just a group of grass cobs. The Japanese people value their identity, and under the millennium the emperor is the emperor, the noble minister is the minister, the samurai is the samurai, and the mud legs are the mud legs. No matter how strong we are, even if we wipe out the Japanese country, they will not admit that we are a big name, a great general, what Guan Bai or something, no matter how strong we are, they will not recognize us. Grass is always a grass coat. Those scholars, no matter how downtrodden Nan Anhou is, he is still a clan, or a close branch clan, what do they want to serve us? Serving Nan Anhou, at least he will not disgrace his ancestors. ”

Kang Tianqi showed a slightly desolate smile, no matter what, he is already rich and powerful today, with 100,000 people, so that he is desperate like Wang Zhi, just to return to his hometown, he is still unwilling.

"The next step is up to Nan Anhou." Kang Maocai said in a deep voice: "Now that this Chen Daojian has understood what we mean, he will return to the Eastern Domain soon, but it won't take too long for them to prepare." According to many reports, Yan Qi and Li Dan have been mobilized for more than 20 days, and many peripheral ships have gone to Cebu Island. I estimate that in ten days at most, they will be in the city. ”

Kang Tianqi groaned: "Even if these two people are mobilized, there will be only thirty or forty thousand people who can dispatch, and the ships, there are fifty or sixty warships of more than 200 tons, and more than 100 ships of about 100 tons, plus supply ships, they can dispatch more than 300 ships, about 30,000 people, which is almost about seventy or eighty percent of their strength." There must always be some housekeepers, and they can't be brought out with all the old brains. ”

"The son and the father think the same thing." Kang Maocai said: "So I specially inquired about how many people there are in the garrison of the Eastern Domain. ”

"How much?"

"Their sailors are four battalions, more than 2,000 people. There are more than 500 cavalry battalions, and there are 1,200 people stationed in Nan'an Town, in addition to more than 1,000 garrisons, which were rebuilt from the Xiang army originally stationed in the Eastern Domain. And then down were thirteen battalions of infantry. According to the unanimous opinion of everyone, the government army of Nan'an Hou Mansion was born in the Nan'an regiment training, and its training, combat skills, and experience are quite outstanding, and there are at least four or five battalions of veterans in the team who have experienced more than three battles, and most of the recruits have experienced more than six months of hard training, and their training intensity is much stronger than that of the forbidden army. If so, when this battle broke out, the government army of Nan'an Houfu was divided into two parts, Penghu all the way, more than 2,000 people and more than 20 large and medium-sized warships. It is impossible to go to sea to invite battle, but it is difficult to attack Penghu with the strong crossbows and garrisons on the shore, and the terrain of Penghu is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is estimated by many people that Yan, most of the Li and the others will lead the main force to attack the Eastern Domain, burn and loot, and a small part of the men and horses will contain the Penghu Naval Division in case they are attacked from behind by the Nan'an Fu army, and there is no other way to fight. ”

"In your opinion, how do you predict the outcome of the victory?"

"Steady and steady," Kang Maocai said a little depressed: "Thousands of people and more than 100 warships are involved in Penghu, more than 20,000 people, and they have landed with large and small ships. If the Nan'an Hou Mansion of the Eastern Domain gathers the main force and fights Yan Qi and Li Dan head-on on the shore, the chances of the Nan'an Hou Mansion are only 30%. Even if his son's 7,000 men are all the strength of the forbidden army, it is also true that the armor of the Eastern Domain is not much, the weapons are not fine, and the equipment is far inferior to the forbidden army. And Yan, Li and the two are entrenched in Luzon, the two years of training non-stop, and looting and killing people everywhere, the subordinates are all fighting at sea for many years, fierce and brave, ferocious and brutal, and then trained in the method of battle formation, and hit it with double blows, if the Nan Anhou Mansion wants to fight head-on with a dignified formation, the son is afraid that he will lose more and win less. ”

Kang Tianqi said with a smile: "There are more than 7,000 government troops, more than 500 cavalry, more than 1,000 van troops, and there are always thousands of people who can be mobilized, and the number of people is about the same." ”

Kang Maocai said with some dissatisfaction: "The father wants to test his son, so he should use a good question." Yan Qi and Li Dan's subordinates are all pirates who fight desperately with people all year round, the Nan'an Mansion army is good, Chen Yutai and others are not their opponents, but they are already weak, how can they compare with Yan Qi and them? Chen Yutai is like that, at most he is a small leader in Luzon. More than 20,000 pirates came ashore and used the people to fill the number of people? Isn't this a gift to pirates? ”

"Then according to you, what should you do to have a chance?"

"Let's clear the wilderness." Kang Maocai said: "I know that the development of the Eastern Domain is very decent, and they have invested millions of dollars. If it is destroyed, it will not be able to slow down in two or three years. I also wonder where Nan Anhou will find such a sum of money? But is it better to survive than to be knocked to death with a stick? The strong wall clears the wilderness, avoiding without fighting, moving the islanders into the mountains for temporary shelter, there is no food on the island, there is nothing to grab, the delay is long, the pirate army is unstable, Yan Qi and Li Dan can't suppress them. This is the only chance, when Yan Qi and Li Dan are gone, they will come out again to clean up the mess. Perhaps it would be the best outcome to strike at the tail end and get some results to deal with diplomacy. ”

Kang Tianqi smiled and said: "According to Wu'er's opinion, what kind of strategy will Nan'an Hou Xu Zi use first?" ”

Tang Maocai hesitated for a moment and said categorically: "Xu Zixian rose quickly, he seems to be reckless, but he is actually quite strategic in his heart. He has negotiated with us, and the road with the Japanese people has also been opened, as long as the cotton fields are planted and cloth is produced, hundreds of thousands of dollars a year can also be earned, so why fight to the death with people? You still have to learn from Han Xin, endure the humiliation for a while, and there will still be a chance for revenge in the future, if you don't bear it now, I'm afraid there will be no more chances. ”

Kang Tianqi laughed a few times, and then couldn't help laughing.

Kang Maocai's face was pale and uncertain, if someone else laughed at him like this, I am afraid that he would have pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed it head-on, and it was his own Laozi who laughed at him, and he was the leader of the tribe, don't laugh, even if Kang Tianqi now ordered the little ones to come in and drag him out to beat him, Kang Maocai could only endure it.

You must know that Kang Tianqi is a big pirate, there is no serious wife, there are dozens of concubines, Kang Maocai has more than a dozen brothers, he is not the biggest one, nor the most favored one, just because his ability is relatively top-notch among the brothers, this has gradually become the heir of the Kang family, if he loses Kang Tianqi's trust, I am afraid that he will die miserably in the future.

Other brothers have no heir position, no threat, and if they can't inherit the position, they will live the life of a rich man, Kang Mao has sat in such a position, he knows that no matter which brother takes his position in the future, the first thing he will do after taking the throne is to completely destroy Kang Maocai from body to soul.

If he had changed, he would have done the same.

What kind of brotherhood, how can it be more important to hold power and control more than 100,000 people?

Not to mention the Kang family, those Japanese daimyo who only have an income of tens of thousands of stones, brothers cannibalism, sibling killing, and even killing father and son, that is not a great thing.

Kang Maocai didn't dare to ignore his father's laughter, he saw that Kang Tianqi's eyes were cold, and he didn't smile at all.

Then Kang Tianqi stood up, his beard and hair were all white, but his body was still strong, his back was broad, and his waist was straight. After he stood up, he suddenly drew his saber, the sharp sword was narrow and heavy, and Kang Tianqi used the sharp edge to add it to Kang Maocai's neck.

When a few small people heard the movement, they pushed the door to see, and when they saw this situation, they retreated silently.

Kang Maocai has already taken power for the first time, but in front of his father, who has been afraid since he was a child, he has not the slightest idea of resistance. Although he was frightened at the moment, he could only feel the blade on his neck, and the neck was cold, but he didn't dare to move, but he just whispered: "Isn't my father happy to hear it?" ”

"It's not very happy." Kang Tianqi swept the blade over, and the sharp long knife cut off a strand of Kang Maocai's hair, Kang Tianqi seemed to be unwilling, but still put the knife away.

Kang Tianqi sat down, shook his head and smiled: "Lao Tzu has never been afraid in his life, and I don't know what it means to endure a momentary humiliation. When I was on a ship, the captain was a Luzon man, and he didn't like Wei people like Lao Tzu, so he once insulted me in public. If you change someone else, I'm afraid I'll put up with it. But my brain was hot, and my blood was surging, and I took out a knife from my bosom, and stabbed him in the chest a few times, and the captain was bleeding and died on the spot. His subordinates were all Confucian sons, and I thought I was going to die at the time. Either I was tied up and sunk into the sea to feed the sharks, or I was chopped to pieces. Unexpectedly, everyone was stupid at that time, and when they saw that my face was covered with blood, and I was still holding a blood-dripping knife in my hand, the gang was scared and knelt down one by one. Then Lao Tzu had his first ship, really became the owner of the ship, and achieved the current feat. ”

Kang Tianqi patted his son on the shoulder and motioned for Kang Mao to sit down.

Kang Tianqi continued: "I expect that Nan Anhou will not back down, I think his actions can achieve great things." People who have achieved great things will back down when they can back down, and they will not be reckless. But when you can't retreat, you will never retreat, and you'd rather die than retreat. Just like the matter of the Eastern Domain, it is a trivial matter to invest a million yuan, but it depends on whether this million yuan can be raised in a short period of time. According to what you said, he can't raise millions of yuan, in this way, Yan Qi and Li Dan are digging Xu Zixian's foundation, digging a pit for him, he will die if he lies down, and he may not die if he fights, as long as he is a man's husband, how can he lie down by himself without fighting? His cotton fields and dwellings took more than half a year and millions of dollars to build, and the pirates would definitely destroy them, which Nan'anhou Mansion could not afford. It is possible to continue to do business, but whether it is us, or the Japanese people, or the Fujian people, as well as the Lanfang people of Nanyang, and the Srivijaya people, who will recognize the Great Wei Monarch who will be a shrinking turtle when a strong enemy attacks? Nan'anhou Mansion will be struggling at that time! This is still a trivial matter, if Yan Qi and Li Dan will attack again at this time next year? ”

Kang Maocai said: "If they don't benefit from this battle, why should they come next year?" ”

Kang Tianqi shook his head with a smile and said, "Yan Qi and Li Dan want to rob, where can't they rob, why do they have to gather a large army to rob the princes of Great Wei, or is it on a desert island?" This is the meaning of Pu Xingfeng, the Pu family is not a pure merchant or pirate, they are the vanguard of opening the way for the Heavenly Kingdom. Pu Shougao was made a few times by Nan'an Hou, and he was disgraced, and now he is hiding in Fuzhou and does not dare to show his face. Chen Yutai was the pawn that the Pu family placed on the periphery of Fuzhou, and he was also removed by Nan'anhou. Now Xu Zixian is cultivating land in the Eastern Domain, and once it is developed, it will be much more threatening than the bureaucrats on Fujian Road. The Pu family is also the heavenly side, and its ambition is not only the Three Buddhas, Lanfang, but also Luzon, the Wa Kingdom, Siam, and the Great Wei. They want to rob the Eastern Domain, not for a few copper coins, but for the general trend of the world. Ruined once this year, I dare to bet 100 million dollars, and they will definitely do it again next year. Once a year, Nan Anhou simply hid back in Fuzhou, but from then on, don't mention any ambitions, and be a rich man for a lifetime. ”

=============

It's been a few days, I'm sorry everyone, and I'm trying to recover.
