Chapter 316. Everybody is here to join in the fun
The Luo family wants to intervene in the Wa Kingdom? Just kidding!
Don't look at him and Luo Ning have an old relationship, for the Jiangnan family, the so-called Donglin Party, he has no good impression at all, he is usually poor and extravagant, and talks about it in the court, but when the country is in crisis in the real Ming Dynasty, he is not pulling out a dime, and he refuses to let even a trace of interests, why Zhang Juzheng's new policy was resisted and slandered by the local government in every possible way, in fact, it is not that Zhang Juzheng collects taxes to convert silver, but that he wants to thoroughly measure the land, so that the land hidden by those big families and the encroached on the guards have nothing to hide.
The illegal encroachment of national interests is still unwilling to spit out, not to mention their own feudal privileges, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the biggest winner outside the Ming and Qing dynasties, during the Songjin War, Hong Chengchou's army was hungry and growled, and the court had no food to send, but Yang Sichang, who was in charge, still gritted his teeth and did not raise taxes, and watched Hong Chengchou have to come out of the nest and bury all the elites outside the gate in Songjin. Because Yang Sichang knew that Xiaomin really had nothing to add, and if he added it, he would have to add it to a family like him, so he would rather watch more than 100,000 people risk their lives than offend this huge interest group, and he was even more afraid of breaking their rules of the game.
A rich businessman in Yangzhou is fat, Shanxi Jin merchants are also rich and rival the country, but every time the DPRK and China discuss the commercial tax, but they are their comprador spokesperson, those more annoying than the crow of the official croaking and screaming, what to compete with the people, what starvation everywhere, those Donglin officials, every time they talk about the disadvantages of the DPRK and China, they must be impassioned, crying bitterly, but no one can compare to them in the struggle for power and profit, Yangzhou ten days, in Mao Jue's view, sad, sighing, crying, but also did not taste the taste of self-repercussions.
The greedy and inflated Jiangnan clan, Mao Jue estimated that he had opened an opening in the Wa Kingdom, and these guys would have to stuff their faces into it, and when the Wa Kingdom heard about it, it might be uncertain that Jiangnan had no choice, they were the head snakes, and they could only cooperate, as for the Wa Kingdom, except for those who came to travel and send money, they wanted to intervene, there was no way!
With a hypocritical smile on her face, Mao Jue nodded her head with a self-humble look, her eyes were as sincere as she wanted to be, who knew that this Luo Ning not only didn't eat him, but instead turned her charming eyes out of the window.
"When the concubine came, it happened that the Shen Shibo family in Hangzhou had just bought more than 300 acres of land on Jeju Island and wanted to build a new Zhuangzi, which said that the northern wasteland was a bitter and cold place, but the concubine looked here, it was really a different scenery, and the concubine also wanted to buy a thousand acres of land, and when the concubine was old in the future, she could also spend her days here, and General Mao would like to open this favor?"
Luo Ning is serious, his dark eyes are like the deep West Lake water, and he is looking at himself with affection, but the corners of Mao Jue's mouth twitch uncontrollably, eldest sister, do you really regard yourself as the number one beauty in the red face and trouble? Everybody has to listen to you? Still want to put your hand on Sakhalin?
seemed to see that Mao Jue's expression was wrong, and this girl threw a wink again, picked up the small soup cup again and took a very ladylike sip, and then she picked up her full little breasts again.
"The concubine is not a vexatious person, she has traveled thousands of miles to the north, so she naturally prepared something for the general, is the general interested?"
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
It is said that the red sleeves are fragrant, with a fragrance, Luo Ning took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it over lightly, to be honest, Mao Jue is really curious, Luo Ning is a smart woman, she can bring the Luo family to a stable place, but it is not in exchange for flattery, she hurriedly opened the picture scroll, Mao Jue's eyebrows immediately raised, Adriana is also a kitten and quickly leaned over the little brain melon, and then she was stunned.
"This ......"
The vividness of a picture should be from the hands of a famous artist, the painting is a harbor, quite a bit of the feeling of "Qingming Riverside Map", the swaying sails, the busy crowd, the weather of the carrying, and even the wet light rain are vividly expressed, the painting can be regarded as a famous painting, if it is left to future generations, it should not be a problem to sell a few million, but this thing can make Mao Jue cut a piece of the cake of the Wa Kingdom and distribute it to the Luo family?
It really can!
After staring at the painting for three seconds, Mao Jue raised his head solemnly.
"Zheng Zhilong?"
This really surprised Luo Ning, she made so much effort to make a fuss, the purpose was to give Mao Jue a deep impression, it was better than opening her mouth to say, Brother Mao, Zheng Zhilong is going to you! I'll tell you first, that's interesting, right? That's a lot stronger, isn't it?
But she really didn't expect Mao Jue to be able to guess it herself, and she was stunned for two or three seconds, and then she nodded in surprise.
"That's right, Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the South China Sea! He also piggybacked on the red-haired feudal clan of Macau and the Ryukyus. ”
After another pause, she added.
"It's Xiaoliuqiu! There is also this picture of Quanzhou. ”
"When?"
"When I painted this painting, it was half a month ago, Dengzhou, where the bird passed the book, and the time when I got Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Conference was a month and a half ago, and the concubine went directly to the sea from Songjiang, and after a two-day delay in Tieshan, she came here directly."
Now that Luo Ning is out with the plate, he has no reservations at all. It's not that Mao Jue was shocked and messed up, this should be her original plan, this woman is really smart enough, she knows, even if she relies on the news to blackmail Mao Jue to agree, his old man is a local snake, and he feels uncomfortable, and when the time comes, he can still squeeze the Luo family out of the way, but now, the momentum of pretentiousness is full, and the impression on Mao Jue is deep enough, no matter how generously he passes the news to Mao Jue, with this kindness in the snow, Mao Jue is a person who does great things, and he will not treat the Luo family badly.
Luo Ning's mission has been achieved, and the rest is left for Mao Jue to have a headache, sitting on the ground and rubbing his head, Mao Jue has a headache, I really can't wait to see Luo Ning today.
Luo Ning's picture is pretended, but for connoisseurs, a picture can provide a lot of details, after all, he also became the leader of the East China Sea, and he basically knows the shape of the ship walking in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, like the kind of tall and square, there is a ship tower called the big green boat, a kind of lucky boat, basically belongs to Zheng Zhilong's main battleship, and usually acts as a merchant ship, so that the ship is the closest next to Fujian regardless of its size, such a ship seems to account for six or seven percent of the dense port, indicating the maritime strength of Fujian, It's almost already gathered by the Zheng family pirates.
On the sea in the distance, several masts are towering, hanging crosses, and the belly is slightly big, it is a Dutch ship, Mao Jue took the Dutch East India Company to Phi Island, and then sent a ship south to inform, it seems that the Dutch East India Company either did not receive the message, or simply the trade point of Iron Mountain, and the trade point of Nagasaki, according to the appetite of the Western colonists, it is not impossible!
On the sea, there are also two pointed long ships, which are Boni pirates, with dragon flags, very similar to lucky ships, and those who are Annan ships, and the pirates in this place have come to participate in the gathering of the alliance leaders, so the assembly of Zheng Zhilong's pirate group is basically seven or eight out of ten.
The rest is to replenish, hold a meeting, everyone have a drink, discuss and discuss how to cut down the fat sheep and then how to divide the fat, this is still half a month ago, maybe this kung fu, people have already pulled the sails and set off.
There is no need to fight for Zhoushan, and Mao Jue can't catch up with exhaustion, and even Nagasaki and Kyushu don't have much time left.
"A month!"
Looking at that picture, Mao Jue said this to himself.
Still a little confused about the situation, Adriana still looked at Mao Jue in confusion and put down the picture, but Mao Jue simply hugged her fist at Luo Ning.
"Mao can't continue to accompany him, forgive me for shopkeeper Luo!"
With a smile, Luo Ning will finally be a little more cute, and nodded intellectually.
"The concubine understands that there are also some business contacts between the Luo family and the Zheng family in the South China Sea, the concubine is brave, if the general wants to go on the expedition, please take the concubine with you!"
Hey, little, are you sticking to my official? The big eyes of the foreign girl were immediately round, but what surprised her even more was that after hesitating for a second, Mao Jue actually nodded and agreed.
"In this way, it will be troublesome to the shopkeeper Luo!"
"Master, this is ......"
"Na, immediately let people call Luo Zhige, Han Cheng, Song Xiance, Su Changmei, and they are all called to the general, and the military will be urgently discussed!"
Seeing that Mao Jue's expression was very wrong, she didn't say anything more, Adriana turned around and hurriedly went downstairs.
It was another fist to Luo Ning's confession, and when he was leaving, Mao Jue also gave a few words to the two maids beside him, and then hurriedly went downstairs, a table of good dishes left Luo Ning to enjoy by himself, and listened to the sound of hurried footsteps below, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful and petite face.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, this girl actually fished out a pheasant leg from the pot where the chicken stewed mushrooms and stuffed it into her small mouth.
The conference room is completely Mao Jue's habit, the long big table made of oak is covered with green cloth, his big portrait hangs on the wall, wearing a helmet and armor, and holding a knife in both hands, just like the chairman of the later generation Jiang Guangtou, looking at it majestically, sitting under his portrait, holding his chin with one hand, and clicking on the table with the other hand, Mao Jue is gloomy grinning.
To be honest, he is all to blame for the situation in front of him!
Zheng Zhilong is not the earliest seafarer in China, but he is definitely the biggest and most successful one, he has been in Macao since he was a child, and has a Christian name of Nicholas, and then followed his uncle Huang Cheng, the great pirate Li Dan, Yan Siqi, and finally settled in Taiwan, and established his own power. Zheng Zhilong chose an extremely shrewd path, took refuge in the imperial court, and was edicted by Xiong Wencan, relying on this white identity, his strength swelled up like a snowball, and successively defeated a series of competitors such as the great pirate Liu Xiang and the Dutch.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is said that he carried tens of millions of taels of silver to the north.
The contradiction is here, when he left the Wa Kingdom last year, Mao Jue ordered that the port of Nagasaki be closed, so that the Nagasaki Domain's famous Inoue Fujitaro locked the country, and Zheng Zhilong's fleet began to be turned away, which was even more painful than breaking his life, this guy's rebound Mao Jue had already thought of it.
But Mao Jue's thinking was too idealistic, he thought Zheng Zhilong would have to negotiate with him, right? It is not impossible to collect some tariffs and share them with Zheng Zhilong, who makes the family lose face, but he forgot, Mao Wenlong is a pirate after all, this cuts off his wealth, this guy didn't want to discuss it at all, and jumped up directly to buckle his eyes and desperately.
It's really feng shui in turn, the city head changes the king's flag, at the beginning of spring last year, he was still worried about going to stab the Wa country of Nagasaki, and this year he will be replaced by him to defend others to attack, and Zheng Zhilong is not like the Wa country, when he fought little Japan, he stood in the sea and bullied people on the land to stare dryly, but now people also have sailors and boats, and the Dutch can't do Zheng Zhilong, can he be a sailor who is a monk halfway through, Mao Jue really has no bottom in his heart.
And you must know that the ultimate enemy of Dongjiang is still Houjin, and this series of wars are all to fatten himself, so that Dongjiang can withstand the iron cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the mountains and wilderness, and he Zheng Zhilong feels that it is no good to fight the truth, and it is just consumption. How did Japan's first shogunate, the Kamakura shogunate, perish. Hojo Tokimasa and Kublai Khan fell out, don't look at the Yuan army twice annihilated, a large number of samurai family members who came to participate in the war were also bankrupt because there was no reward, the Kamakura shogun's imperial family This ruling foundation was destroyed, and the samurai who rebelled stood on the side of the emperor and killed the Hojo family, and not many years after the Battle of Motohi, the Kamakura shogunate perished.
This is a lesson from the past!
But Luo Ning's news Mao Jue is convinced, she didn't go north to tease you, everyone came to the door, no matter how unwilling Mao Jue was to take it, he had to take this war.
It's really a bit like in the movie, in just a few minutes, a lot of things were released from Mao Jue's mind, one by one, but unfortunately, it was all a mess, and he didn't think of anything useful for the war in front of him, just when he was beating the table irritably, Luo Zhige finally came in, looking at Mao Jue, who was a little irritable, the governor of Sakhalin Island who was appointed by Mao Jue, was full of surprise and bowed with a fist.
"The subordinate has seen the general, the general is so late to convene the subordinate general, is something wrong?"
"The military situation of the Japanese country, I am going to leave tonight! After I leave, you will be the commander of Sakhalin, Han will be the deputy commander, and Sumu Yeertai will be the garrison, and the Red Twin Cities will be handed over to you!"
So urgent! Not to mention Luo Zhige, even Song Xiance didn't react, and after a full second, Song Xiance asked in amazement.
"General, what happened to the Wa Kingdom?"
"Let's talk about this matter on the ship, and solve the Sakhalin matter first! This year, after the Sakhalin Tuntian and the Red Twin Cities are full, you will build the next city at the Storm Point near Mao Lianwei, and try to recruit the natives of Sakhalin, just like the example of the Hamgyong Jurchen. ”
Speaking of this, Mao Jue suddenly glanced at Song Xiance's big head inexplicably, and then tilted his head towards Adriana again.
"By the way, Na, you go and find out the stack of documents on the top of my study, this thing, you want to build it for me!"
