When the other person has shown a high level of distrust, there is no need to try to win his trust, because that makes no sense.

Facing Qi Dudu, who was full of doubts, I actually sympathized with him very much in my heart. For the Ming Dynasty to fight in the south and the north all his life, it is also a tragedy that he was poor and fell to death when he was old. Therefore, although I respect him and admire him, I have absolutely no intention of following and being loyal to him. Because I don't have any sense of belonging to Daming at all, what does its rise and fall have to do with me?

Seeing that I didn't speak, Qi Dudu returned to his seat, and Ye Sizhong coughed lightly, I knew that this was a reminder to me. After glancing at him, I smiled, and then turned to Qi Dudu and hugged his fists and said, "The governor is above, please let me tell you."

Qi Shuai nodded, noncommittal. I continued to say leisurely: "Lord Xie cares and inquires, but who is below, this is very clear, there is no need to argue at all, and I don't want to bother to talk about it." I didn't look at his face at all, I must have been very unsightly to hear this, because Ye Sizhong had already slapped my eyes, but I continued without turning a blind eye: "Ye Yingguan should have reported all my situation to you, so for me, I stayed here not to be loyal at all, but to accept the invitation. That's all. ”

Hearing my words, Qi Dudu laughed angrily and said, "Oh! I wonder what are your specialties that deserve to be invited by the Governor of Pontus? ”

I saw that the words had already been spoken, just as I expected, knowing that I had already succeeded half of today, so I did not answer and asked: "From the previous dynasty to my dynasty, the Japanese invaders have disturbed the people, and it has become a problem of elbows and armpits. However, now that the Tatars are returning to Koubian, Fusang is becoming more and more unified, and the Jurchens are getting bigger and bigger, they will become a big trouble for our henchmen in the future, I don't know if the governor thinks so? ”

Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment, these words were the knot in his heart that could not be erased. He reorganized the army in Jizhou, nominally to guard against the Tatars, but in fact, those steppe barbarians have long since gone, what is there to do about it? What he really has to guard against is the Jurchens who have accumulated strength, and the Dongying Fusang people who have never been honest. It's just that he has suppressed these things in his heart for a long time, but he has never said it, and today I broke it with a word, and he suddenly looked at it differently, so his heart suddenly disappeared, and he nodded politely and asked: "Then what do you want?"

I continued to talk eloquently: "The Tatars are conservative and do not want to forge ahead, they are already a thing of the past, and they are not worth mentioning, do the governors approve of it?" What I said in these words is completely arrogant, because what the current court is most worried about is that the Tatars imitate Temujin's method and re-invade the Central Plains. But Qi Dudu understood that these barbarians on horseback had been gradually eliminated, and they could no longer make any waves. So although my words are arrogant, they coincide with him.

Qi Jiguang's heart suddenly felt good, raised his left hand and said, "What you said is very true!" Sit down and talk. This sentence has represented his approval of my words, indicating that he was moved, of course I must strike while the iron is hot, otherwise I will keep the words for the cubs?

I thanked him and sat down on his lower left before continuing: "Although the Jurchens are getting stronger and stronger, their wisdom has not yet opened, as long as I guard the pass, they will not be able to set off any storms!" It's just ...... "Speaking of which, I deliberately bought a pass and stopped talking."

This sentence was tickling Qi Jiguang's itch, but when he saw that I had sold Guanzi, he was suddenly anxious and asked, "But how?"

I looked left and right, smiled, and said slowly: "I don't dare to say it!"

Qi Jiguang glanced at me and instructed left and right: "You go down first!" Sizhong also sits. Left and right agreed and left the big tent. Ye Sizhong sat on the chair opposite me, and Qi Jiguang continued: "How? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it! ”

I arched my hand at him, smiled and said, "It's just that I am worried about internal and external troubles, and although the disease is in the gut, it is increasingly eroding the bone marrow." The multi-faceted reform of the first assistant is indeed to scrape the bones and cure the poison, but ...... But the first assistant is in one day, and the reform is pushed in one day, once the first assistant ...... "Speaking of this, I paused for a moment, and the fingers of Qi Dudu's right hand trembled a few times, but he didn't speak, motioning for me to continue. I nodded and continued: "Once the first assistant is a hundred years old, I am afraid that the previous achievements may not be able to be kept, and it will be difficult for future generations to act." I'm not afraid of the East Window incident, I'm just afraid of the disaster! ”

Qi Shuai's back was cold when he said these few words, the deep cold was biting, and the air in the big tent froze for a while. Ye Sizhong had been mentally prepared, but he still listened with a blank face. Qi Dudu stopped for a long time and said to Ye Sizhong, "Serve tea to Mr. Sun." Fang turned to me, and his attitude was already very polite: "This matter...... Is there a solution? ”

I sighed and said, "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone." If you are proud, you have to turn back early, and let go of your heart."

Qi Dudu was a little depressed, but he had to nod thoughtfully.

I waited for a while, Ye Yingguan ordered someone to bring tea, I thanked the tea, and waited for the next person to go out, before continuing: "It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, I have no choice, and let him go, but no matter if you go against the wind or retreat bravely, it is essential to take precautions!"

This sentence spoke to Qi Shuai's heart again, at this time he had let down most of his guard against me, and nodded casually: "Exactly!" There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, and this matter is difficult to complete. Mr. Takami! ”

I arched my hand and said, "Don't dare!" As for the Fusang people, they have invaded each other, and they have passed the Jiazi, and the great wisdom has emerged, and the general trend of unification has been achieved. The people of Dongying Fusang are cruel and tyrannical by nature, and they are full of wolf nature, which is really a big trouble. My father died at the hands of the Japanese Invaders, and he studied the Japanese people every day, and secretly thought that although Dongying was a small place, it had its own strengths. Now, I have established a trade route with the intention of using its strengths to my advantage. But it aroused the suspicion of the governor, and he really hoped to forgive him. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Dudu already understood what I meant, and he continued to ask, "I don't know how to introduce it?" I thought to myself, the best compliment is none other than you, and continued to laugh: "I don't know if the governor has Yaxing, can we talk about it again at the school?"

The huge school field is surrounded by water, and everyone wants to see what I said to Qi Dudu, making such a big battle. After Qi Dudu sat down, I stood down and said, "My lord, please arrange for the best bird player in the camp to appear, can you?"

Qi Dudu nodded and ordered the artillery battalion to select the best marksman. According to the artillery training program of the Ming Dynasty, the shooting assessment distance of artillery, that is, bird guns, and fire door guns is 100 steps. I saw that the best marksman came out of the ranks, and according to the training program, fired five shots at the fixed target in a row, and four shots at the target. Qi Dudu looked at me and said, "What do you think?"

I smiled and said, "Beggar to bring some plates!"

Qi Dudu nodded, and someone came to the school with a large stack of plates. Everyone laughed and coaxed, thinking that I was crazy and wanted to play a trick on the governor, and there were not a few people who laughed for a while. Qi Dudu didn't speak, he had a lot of trust in me, and wanted to see what I was going to do.

I instructed the infantry battalion to choose a wrestler, and ordered him to stand a hundred paces away from the bird's hand, and throw the plate into the air with all his might. Everyone immediately understood that I was trying to let the bird shoot the moving target, and they immediately burst into laughter. There are two reasons for this, one is that according to records, the "northerners" at that time, that is, the northern soldiers were quite resistant to muskets, believing that muskets were useless and inferior to rockets. The second is that the muskets used in the Ming Dynasty are all slow-fired, and the fuse burns for a long time, and it is almost impossible to hit a moving target. So, the result was already doomed, five plates, flying, falling, and shattering. The gun went off five times, one missed.

Qi Dudu looked at me and motioned for me to continue. I made a final gesture to the queue, and with his flintlock pistol in my arms, I stepped out of the line and stood not far from the bird's hand.

Qi Dudu looked at it and smiled at me: "Wolver?" I nodded, and he motioned for the start. I saw that the gun was aimed at the flowing water, the gun rang out five times, four plates were broken in the air, and one smashed a corner of the plate before it fell to the ground and shattered. This is the generation difference between the instantaneous gun and the slow-acting gun!

Four seats in an uproar! Qi Dudu stood up even more in shock! He devoted his life to reforming armaments, and the slow-firing musket guns of the Ming army were a whole era behind the Japanese people, which has always been his heart disease, and today he saw that the new guns were near, how could he not be surprised in his heart? I was about to ask him to come over with a gun, but I stopped him and said, "Slow down, there's still a show!"

Qi Dudu nodded, sat down again with the agitation in his heart, and motioned for me to hurry up. I told someone to prepare a horse and let the bird gun man ride and shoot, but because the recoil of the bird was too great, the archer shot three times, and three times he fell off his horse, and the frequency of the shot was very low, almost one shot a minute, and even slower on the horse. And I let the burner get on the horse with a short gun, and fired three shots in one minute, and the gun was on target! Cut and move freely, unaffected by the shooting!

The audience was in an uproar again!

This time, I didn't wait for Qi Dudu to speak, so I took the first step and asked someone to bring over a firearm of each length that had been prepared earlier, and presented it to Qi Dudu.

Qi Shuai Dayue, excited to reward me on the spot, but I hugged my fists and said: "My lord, I am just dedicated to the country, but I am not interested in fame!"

Qi Dudu's expression was very regretful, and he thought for a while and said: "Order: The steward Sun Qilan is a counselor directly under the governor of the capital, and he enjoys the rank of camp official, and everything can be done cheaply, without being controlled by others!"

This gives me a lot of freedom and permission! It seems that he understands that I am not interested in this at all, but only cooperation, not allegiance. I thanked the reward, approached the governor of Qidu, and whispered: "I am willing to raise five hundred taels of silver every month to serve as military funds!"

Five hundred taels is not much, but it is enough to feed a cavalry team. Governor Qi was overjoyed again, and ordered his subordinates to take more care of my Oriental trade, and everyone was happy for a while. I'm taking out a third of the profits, in exchange for a red pass, it's worth it! Isn't that what I want! Then I hope we have a happy cooperation!
