11. Qi Shuai's doubts
Time is a thing that sometimes really can't stand chewing, and it's a long time in a flash. It's too busy, I don't know why I live; It's too idle, and I think it's a pity. Just like this month, I immersed myself in my own world every day, and although I made progress in all aspects, I always felt empty in my heart every time I was silent. It's not a good world, it's not ugly, but for better or worse, I always feel as if I don't belong here. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be so sentimental, because no matter how sad I am, I have to go to work tomorrow morning to wipe away my tears, wash my face, and go to work.
But after really calming down and thinking about it, I think the reason why I am so unsteady is because I am about to face a big exam, and I am indeed a little timid in my heart.
On the night of the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the nine ghosts Zhengxiao, Su and a person who had never met came to me together. I looked at them and asked the newcomer to take off his cloak first, it was a man in his twenties, ordinary looking, with a noticeable long burn on the right side of his face, which was typical of Japanese ronin looks. Holding two cloth bags, one long and one short, in his hand. Nine ghosts Zhengxiao introduced, this person is called burning, and he is the lower forbearance of the Zaga people.
I interrupted him and asked, "Miscellaneous people?" Shigehide Suzuki? ”
The Nine Demons replied, "It is Saga Sun City, that is, the artillery group of Suzuki Shigehide that Mr. talked about. Mr. is really well-known! ”
I nodded and motioned for him to continue. The Nine Demons continued: "During the battle with Nobunaga, he was injured by the fire of the iron cannon, and was driven out of the Saga by his brother Shigehide, and has been wandering in the Kansai area for nearly half a year. Last time, my husband asked me to choose a reliable candidate, and I recommended this person to him. ”
I asked, "Since you are from the Saga family, you must have outstanding iron cannon skills." He said and looked at the burn.
Burn nodded, but did not speak. This stuffy gourd, I can't help but laugh. The Nine Ghosts said, "Sir, this person doesn't speak much, but his skills are top-notch. He is good at both foot shooting and mounted shooting, and is a first-class iron cannon master! ”
I hummed and looked at the burn again. Although I need talents, I don't need varieties that can't speak, so my eyes are already a little cold. Blaze didn't look at me, but untied the bag. In the long cloth bag is an iron cannon, which is called a bird gun in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Inside the short cloth bag was a hand cannon, that is, an iron cannon with a truncated body that could be fired on a horse. My eyes lit up suddenly, and I gave up the unpleasant thought just now, and asked sincerely: "Burn, how do your two iron cannons compare with the Daming artillery battalion?" ”
As soon as this person spoke, I realized that he was a pure technical stream, and he was the top one. If you have to give him a level, it is probably the level of the core source code engineer of modern Microsoft.
I saw that he started with the Ming Dynasty's imitation of Dongying artillery with a disdainful face, and analyzed the gap between the two sides in terms of armament, tactics, training and other aspects, especially in terms of horse shooting, the two sides are almost incomparable! In terms of technology alone, the gap between the two sides is also very huge in terms of loading, firing, and range. And so and so and so and so for nearly an hour.
I listened to it with relish, and he spat on it. But when he finished speaking, he shut up, but he didn't speak again. I laughed secretly in my heart, such a person actually has an advantage, that is, he is simple, all he needs is your affirmation, and there is room to show his talents, I need such a person. So I asked him, "Will you be loyal to me?" ”
Zhi raised his head, stared at me and said, "When you run out of me, will you drive me away?" It's like Sagasun. "I know that this is a deep wound, presumably this man once swore allegiance to the Zaga people, but was swept away because of his negligence, and there is a shadow in his heart.
I thought about it for a while, and said very sincerely: "Give your loyalty, and I should treat you like a brother, just like nine ghosts." There is a place for me to stay, and there is your home. "Don't say anything, put away the iron cannon, and bow down. So I accepted his allegiance and instructed him to prepare two more cannons, one long and one short, according to the two iron cannons he had in his hand. Receiving orders is said to be done quickly.
When it came to the beginning of the lecture, it was a different situation. Although the Ming Dynasty closed itself to the rest of the country, the official tributary trade did not close the window to the East, so there were no obstacles in policy. After negotiations, he finally chose to cooperate with a chamber of commerce in Kyushu and Honshu. Since Echigoya and we had a very pleasant trade before, and the Damei market is very large, the two chambers of commerce are very active, and the first shipment has been shipped to the port for unloading.
Due to the trade side involved in the garrison, the Ming Dynasty tariffs have been reduced to less than one and a half, and the cost of freeing up the cost of entrusting the most time-honored local mule and horse gang to transport, according to the current cost calculation of all aspects, the actual monthly dividend income at the beginning of the stage can reach more than 1,500 yuan, and then depending on the business volume gradually enlarged. The overall coordination of this matter was made by her uncle-in-law Yan Lei, and all aspects were barrier-free. In addition, he has negotiated with the two companies separately to leave a feasible green channel for us in terms of transportation channels.
With such efficiency, I don't know what to say. According to the conversion of later generations, 1500 per month is about 1 million yuan, although the current total is not large, but it will slowly increase in value, plus this is not my pursuit, because one day, we will lose the Ming Dynasty market, so I have repeatedly emphasized that profits can be made, and channels should be unblocked. Su received the order, said that he understood, and the three of them went.
After the establishment of the trade routes, the accommodation and other conditions have risen correspondingly, and I have repeatedly said that they should step up their learning of Chinese to reduce unnecessary troubles.
To be honest, these two pieces of news tonight are like timely rain for me, otherwise I really don't have the confidence to face Qi Jiguang and Qi Dudu, the final boss-level figure. As for now, since the big exam is coming, let him come.
What should come, will always come, and the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month has finally come. The rumor of the year says: the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughtering the chicken, catching up with the big set, this day the camp yard kills the pig and slaughters the chicken, very vivid, the store catches the market, the people who purchase the collection are endless, the items needed for the Spring Festival are in the purchase, the market in the town is very prosperous.
But my heart is not here, because there is silence in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp. It is impossible for me to enter the account to listen to the training, and all of them are officers above the general level, because there is a person sitting in the middle of the big tent, that is, Qi Jiguang, a famous general who wrote "I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope Hai Boping". Before the Spring Festival, he went to various garrison points to inspect as usual, in previous years, Jinzhou was the first to come, but this year for some reason, but it was put last.
After the lecture and condolences, the time was almost dusk. I didn't go anywhere, I waited in the barracks. When the herald came, I had already packed up and gone with him, much to the herald's surprise.
The first time I saw this legendary general, I was filled with emotion. The great man has broad shoulders, and he can afford to carry the dynasty in the next era, but he is also a person after all, and he will be old. Qi Dudu in front of him was already an old man with gray hair. He sat in the middle, with only one guard next to him, and Ye Sizhong stood on the right. Calling me in, Ye Sizhong smiled at me, and I glanced at him to indicate that I had received it.
After entering the door, I leaned over and clenched my fists, and reported according to the military salute: "Sun Qilan, the manager of the baggage battalion, has seen the governor!"
The old governor waved his hand to indicate that the salute was over. I straightened up, stood diagonally across from his seat, and just looked at him. He didn't speak, just looked at me. I know that this is a psychological tactic, you must know that in my previous life as a cleaner, I went through the most rigorous mental training, and these contents were practiced more than 100 times. Whoever speaks first loses.
But when I think about it again, Qi Jiguanggui is a local military commander, and he has no time to play against me, if I blindly emphasize winning or losing, he will not like it. So I clenched my fists and asked, "I don't know if the governor has summoned the lower officials, what are the arrangements?"
Qi Jiguang stared at me for a while before asking, "Sun San, Sun Qilan, who are you?"
I smiled slightly, and then replied, "Since the governor knows my Sun San's name, he must already know who I am." Why bother? ”
Qi Jiguang patted the case and said: "It is precisely because of you that I have deeper doubts!"
Saying that, he stood up and took a step forward, such an action is a more intelligent psychological pressure, seeing that I was not moved, he continued: "Si Zhong recommended to me a few days ago, saying that you have quick thinking, bold action, and are a good rider!" You lost your mother when you were six years old, and your father and eldest sister were injured by the Japanese when you were thirteen, and you are your uncle-in-law who has raised you to this day. You have not been able to grow up since childhood, you are lazy and tired, you have no skills, and you have not achieved anything until you are sixteen years old. But last year, when he came to this place with his family, he suddenly opened his mind, as if he had been reborn, and even killed the Tatar warrior Jebeaguru! That's Aguru! The governor of Pontus sent people to encircle and suppress him in many ways, but he injured many fierce generals, how can he be subdued by a grass-dwarf who is powerless? ”
Then, he changed his posture, stood with his back to me, and continued: "Recently, you rescued the Fusang people Baidi Tanbo He was born in fire and water, according to investigation, you do not know each other, and you took this opportunity to subdue the Fuso ninja and his party, and took the initiative to open the business road, these methods are very clever, including Lu Zeping's death......" He turned his head to look at me, and then said: "It must also be involved with you." Sun Qilan, you tell the governor of Pontus, who are you? ”
Ooh! Do your homework well enough! Dig up all three generations of my grandparents! Tsk, awesome! I know very well that these people in high positions must have their own merits, and because of the information asymmetry, it is best not to play tricks with them. However, I had expected such a day and had started preparing for it a long time ago, so I was not afraid at all, and what I was facing now was not a multiple-choice question at all, but a fill-in-the-blank question. I get as much as I fill, it seems that I am in an absolute weakness, but in fact I am not invincible at all. It's very simple, because what he knows about me is not who I really am, but what I know about him is from life to death!
That's the power of the hanging.
