464. Difficult business
What makes a good salesman?
To put it simply, what can be done, must be done; What can't be done, find a way to do it.
Konishi is quite a good salesman, but he is really entangled - how can he complete the business given to him by his boss?
It is not difficult to lose this city, as long as you retreat immediately, someone will definitely take over. But then it will not meet the requirements of the boss to "unconsciously and inconspicuously".
In the past few days, he has grabbed a lot of his hair, just because he can't hand over this difficult business. Until this day, Governor Konishi couldn't stay any longer, so he changed into civilian clothes and walked to the market, wanting to relax.
I don't know if it's a ghost messenger, or if it's the blessing of the gods in the sky, Konishi Yukinaga walked and saw a lively thing in the street market in front of him.
In recent years, the success has not been good, and it coincided with the war, and the people began to practice martial arts as a fashion. Many people have begun to look for some homes to take with them, even if it is useless to encounter real chaos, but it can always give themselves courage, right?
However, since the Japanese invaded the city, in order to prevent the occurrence of civil rebellion, all iron tools have been banned, and even the kitchen knives used by the people for cooking at home have been registered, and it is almost impossible to buy iron tools in the market.
So all kinds of wooden weapons have become a popular product in the Wangjing street market today, and the street that Konishi Yukichang encountered happened to be a small stall selling sticks and self-defense weapons, and there were a few characters standing next to him who looked like they were not stingy, and they were inking with the boss there.
Konishi Yukicho didn't understand the Goryeo language very well, but he could understand it more or less, and he saw a few bastards inking there for a long time, which seemed to be too expensive. But after talking about the price for a long time, the boss just didn't agree, it seemed that he had set the price, and he wouldn't let go even if these bastards said it.
These bastards also have a way, and when they saw that there were vigilant robbers walking around, they didn't go up to rob them, but walked away.
However, President Konishi had a hunch that this matter would not end so easily, so he sat down in the teahouse on the side of the street and watched the changes in the street market opposite.
The owner of this teahouse is also a good person, although he is dressed casually, but just by looking at the long and short saber, he knows that it is not ordinary, and immediately nods and serves good tea, and intimately serves two small snacks.
This made Governor Konishi feel very good, eating, drinking, and watching, so he was right to watch a play. I saw that the bastard turned around, still coveting the guy on the weapon stall, lingering and refusing to leave.
The boss seems to be a practitioner, so he naturally refuses to suffer this secret loss, but if he directly closes the stall and leaves, he is afraid of being beaten up, so he is also in a predicament and is at a loss.
At this moment, a patrol of Ashigaru turned far away from the street, and it looked like it was still forty or fifty paces away from the weapons stand. I saw that the boss of the weapon stall saw it from a distance, and he didn't know what to think, so he stood up and waved to those bastards.
Those bastards didn't hesitate to see that the transaction had come to the door, how could there be any reason to refuse, and immediately ran over with a smile and a fart, and continued to negotiate the price with the boss.
Unexpectedly, as he spoke, he didn't know what the boss said, which stimulated those bastards, and those few directly pointed at the weapon boss and scolded him! The boss said two more words, and those bastards were even more angry as if they were going to hit someone!
When the boss saw this, he was blushing and arguing with those bastards, but as soon as he saw the patrol arrive, he knelt on the edge of the stall on the spot, crying and grabbing the ground, it was really miserable!
These bastards were still stunned, I don't know why this vicious boss suddenly coaxed, and when they heard the scolding behind them, they knew that they had fallen in love with this guy!
When the patrol saw that there was a dispute here, they rushed over without saying a word, drew their knives and slashed at the heads of several people! Thankfully, because it was to maintain law and order, the ashigaru patrols brought two knives, one metal and one bamboo.
Although there was a dispute at this time, there was no blood, and those patrolling ashigaru naturally pulled out bamboo knives. But this bamboo knife is also a knife, "crackling" hit the head, and only these bastards screamed and ran towards the city gate!
As soon as the boss saw that the patrol was running after the bastards, he naturally took the opportunity to slip away, rolled up his baggage, put those sticks on his back, and ran away without looking back!
This thing is really unintentional by the doers, intentional by the watchers, the pedestrians on the road just watched the excitement, but President Konishi saw it! After thinking about it again, I immediately laughed happily, excited not to want it.
This smile frightened the owner of the tea stall, but he didn't know what disturbed the adult from Dongying, so he hurriedly came up to refill the teapot with hot water, and brought over a plate of braised pork, which was considered to be filial piety to this uncle.
Governor Konishi was in a good mood, took a sip of tea, then wiped his lips, and threw a small piece of silver at the boss with a smile.
Where does this boss dare to collect! It's good that these vicious dogs don't want your life, and they dare to take money from others? Don't want to live anymore?
After several excuses, Governor Konishi was amused by him, laughed for a while, and forced the silver into the boss's hand, and said to the boss in half-baked Goryeo dialect: "Leave, city, go north, live." ”
After saying it twice in a row, seeing that the owner of the tea stall didn't understand, he stretched out his hand and pointed north. After thinking about it, he pointed to his feet again, and then made a motion to wipe his neck.
This startled the owner of the tea stall, and suddenly understood, and after making trouble for a long time, this adult let himself escape from the city! Aren't you allowed to go out of the city?
Is something big going to happen? The owner of the tea stall muttered to himself. This chaotic idea, I can't tell when a team will come to take this Wang Jing!
Let's go! I heard that there has been a fight in the north recently, and it seems that the Heavenly Empire has sent troops to save us! If that's the case, it's definitely a good idea to get out of here! As long as you run to the control area of the Celestial Empire, I'm afraid that life will be much better!
Thinking of this, seeing the adult leaving with a smile, the owner of the tea stall hurriedly cleaned up the guys, prepared to go back to the hotel to make a settlement, and then sold the hand-pushed tea stall - even if it was cheap, as long as it could be turned into cash as soon as possible and pretended to be good to go!
How this tea stall owner thinks and acts is not the focus of our attention. When Governor Konishi returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately called a few of his henchmen and generals, and so on and so on, before the sun went down, he really asked them to come up with a solution.
So a big net facing "one's own people" was spread out without any life......
It is said that the Shibata Katsuya in the south is also quite unhappy, some time ago the logistics supplies were robbed continuously, and the delivery is still not smooth to this day. I heard that in addition to Li Sunsin's sailors, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was the main force in this naval battle.
And the main force in the main force turned out to be the kid surnamed Sun who helped him win the battle of Zhiyue in the first place, but left the West! Now that he has returned from the West with a great victory, it means that his majesty is not what it used to be!
But standing on his own position, now he and Sun Qilan are friends and enemies, and it would be too silly to talk about the old friendship back then, but how to break the current situation of relying on people to help?
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a message from his subordinates, a piece of news that was excellent for him!
It is said that the monkey of Hideyoshi Hashiba suffered a big loss in the north, and even Pyongyang was lost! After hearing the news, it is said that the monkey, which has always been steady, could not sit still, and clamored to fight to the death with the army of the Ming Dynasty in the north!
It is said that Hideyoshi Hashiba has been carrying out a large mobilization recently, especially near Wangjing, and nearly 100,000 troops have been gathered! I heard that he is preparing to go north to Pyongyang and recapture this northern capital in one fell swoop!
If that's the case, then isn't my chance? Shibata Katsuya said in his heart: In Seoul, where birds don't, his group is almost starving to death! As long as Yushiba Hideyoshi really raised a large army to the north, he would attack Wang Jing in one fell swoop!
By that time, Pyongyang, Wangjing, Seoul, and the three capitals themselves had already occupied two of them, so what if Hashiba Hideyoshi really recaptured Pyongyang? It's not like you're going to be a stepping stone for yourself!
Thinking of this, Shibata Katsuya only felt that the blood of his whole province was boiling! Although he is over 60 years old, because of the perennial war, his body is still quite tough, and this personal expedition to Goryeo can be regarded as his last expedition with a thousand miles of ambition!
Like the Hashiba Hideyoshi army on the front line of Wangjing, the Shibata Katsuya army entrenched in Seoul and Busan was also mobilized! They gathered all their limited supplies to the front line of Seoul, and the elite soldiers also gathered over, just waiting for a good opportunity, they were ready to go north and take Wangjing!
But this wait, until the Lantern Festival of the lunar calendar has passed, and it is about to be February, and this Chai Xiuji army is still assembling and assembling. What are these guys waiting for?
Shibata Katsuya couldn't help but ask himself and his subordinates, but he never got the point.
There were a few times when Shibata Katsuya was anxious to rush up and grab Hideyoshi Hashiba's collar and ask him what he was waiting for? If you want to fight, what are you still doing here? Whether it's a man or a samurai?
But this is not possible. On the second day of February, Shibata Katsuya received two good news in a row!
The first, the army of the Ming Dynasty was short of food and grass, and it seemed that they collected grain in various places, but the effect was very limited.
Second, Yushiba Hideyoshi's army seized this opportunity to march north, and there were less than 3,000 people left in Wangjing City to defend the city!
Three thousand! All it takes is one charge to take it down! If you don't take it, it's against the sky! Shibata Katsuya will never do such a thing!
So on the day when he received the news that Yushiba Hideyoshi's army was going north, Shibata Katsuya gathered an army of 120,000 and went straight to Wang Jing from the south!
At this time, the largest troop movement in recent times is taking place on the Goryeo Plain! The two on the back are about to catch fire, and the city in the south of the center is about to fall.
Once again, the wheels of history are stirred at high speed!
As for who won and who lost, I don't know - after all, this is not at all the history I know it with......
