Chapter 616: Can You Promise?
Zhen Qian didn't want to finalize everything with the Ezo clan in front of Shao Er Yizhen, the Shao Er clan was very ambitious, and the forces behind it were also ambitious, and it was not something that Zhen Qian could provoke for the time being.
Shao Er Yizhen is also a shrewd person, and said with a smile that does not match his actual age: "There are many mines in Osumi Country, if Zhen Lang takes a fancy there, the Shao Er family is willing to cooperate with Zhen Lang for a long time!" ”
The islands that Zhen Qian now occupies are too small, and the resources on the islands are not enough to support economic development, especially such mines as iron, copper, and coal, except for the existence of Daliuqiu Island, there are either no other islands or they are difficult to mine, so they can only rely on the input of the outside world.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhen Qian will not stay in Saga Town now.
However, under the influence of Zhen Qian, there are many resources in the northern part of the main island of Wakuni and the large island of Hokkaido, and if they can be developed, the degree of dependence on Saga Town will be greatly reduced.
Even Zhen Qian was still thinking about whether to occupy the whole of Hokkaido at the right time.
But these prerequisites are to weaken the strength of the Ezo tribe first, and the best way is of course to let the Ezo and the Japanese people continue to wage war, after all, compared to Saikaido, Hokkaido is just a desolate existence.
At this moment, Zhen Qian is no longer an elegant scribe, nor does he want to be an official of the Tang Dynasty, but more like a cunning businessman, revealing that he is a philistine and a baht.
Shao Eryi really looked confused, this time he was really puzzled, there were too many secrets in Zhen Qian, Shao Eryi really wouldn't say, this is the basis of the interaction between the two sides, just as Zhen Qian had never inquired about the secrets of the Shao Er family, the two sides maintained rational restraint.
Settling Nubo and his party in the lease area, Shao Er Yizhen did not leave, and Zhen Qian did not pay attention to it, as if they were already very familiar with each other, and when Zhen Qian returned again, Shao Er Yizhen was still sitting there sipping tea, as if waiting for Zhen Qian to come back.
"Please forgive Zhen Lang for the matter of the Ezo clan!" Shao Eryi really opened his mouth lightly, as if he was talking about something that had little to do with him.
"It doesn't matter! If you need Zhen's help, please speak up! ”
"Zhen Lang is really a happy person!" Shao Er Yizhen slowly straightened his body, and his lazy body that had just fallen into the sofa suddenly became solemn, "Zhen Lang should know the current situation of the Shao Er family, in any place, it is respected by strength, people and countries, and now the Shao Er family has been forced into a desperate situation by Fujiwara Nakamaro, if you don't resist, it is a dead end, and there may be a trace of life in resistance." So we united all the forces that could be combined to overthrow Fujiwara Nakamaro, but our strength was still too weak, so we contacted the Ezo ....... ”
Zhen Qian nodded, naturally knowing the status and influence of the Fujiwara clan and Fujiwara Nakamaro in the Wa Kingdom, coupled with the trust of Emperor Xiaoqian, in the words of later generations, Fujiwara Nakamaro at this time was a standing Wa Emperor with the power of the emperor, not the name of the emperor.
All this had nothing to do with Zhen Qian, but after Zhen Qian occupied the Wufeng Islands, he had a little relationship with Zhen Qian.
The reason why Fujiwara Shuxiong is arrogant to Zhen Qian, in the final analysis, is because of the Fujiwara clan, without the support of the Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara Shuxiong is nothing.
If Zhen Qian's rise is standing on the shoulders of the Zhen family in Hengzhou, then Fujiwara Shuxiong is standing on the shoulders of the entire Wa Kingdom, allowing him to have more resources and connections, all of which Zhen Qian can compare.
"There is news that Fujiwara Nakamaro will launch a war against Silla next year, at most at the beginning of the next year, at that time, all the Lingyu countries will send a part of the troops and horses to fight together, and that is the time for Fujiwara Nakamaro to eradicate dissidents and establish his own authority, and there is not much time left for other families, we must fight back before this, Zhen Lang, can you help us?"
Shao Eryi really said these words, and he was not worried that Zhen Qian would go to the informant, if someone would leak the secret, that person would definitely not be Zhen Qian.
The confidence of the young two is not speculation, but speculation, and the difference between speculation and speculation is only a world of difference.
Maybe others don't know Zhen Qian, but after Zhen Qian sold weapons and equipment to Shao Er Dongshang for the first time, he never stopped collecting information about Zhen Qian, and Shao Er Dongshang took the initiative to give up the Osumi Islands, in fact, it was also a test to test Zhen Qian's ambitions and test Zhen Gan's strength.
Zhen Qian's weapons and equipment were only sold to Shao Er Dongshang, and Zhen Qian never sold Fujiwara Shuxiong a knife, and at that time Shao Er Dongshang knew that Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong had already separated from Germany and were not all the way.
Speaking of which, Zhen Qian and the Shaoer family have a closer relationship, not to mention that the Aoi Ji of the Shaoer family still has Zhen Qian's child in her belly, that is, the sale of weapons and equipment and the occupation of the Osumi Islands are enough to tie the interests of Zhen Qian and the Shaoer family tightly together, and support each other, so that later Zhen Qian secretly transported a large amount of relief grain to Osumi Province.
Now Shao Er Dong Shang is willing to let go of all the mines in Osumi Province, this is a gesture, but also a kind of conspiracy, in this regard, Shao Er Dong Shang knows better than Fujiwara Brush Ao what is called interests, what is called human .......
At this moment, Zhen Qian was silent, he had to make a choice, in the past, Zhen Qian hoped that the Xikaidao would not stop the war, and now a greater war would happen, in contrast, the two sides would definitely pull the wavering allies tightly around before.
At this time, there is no such thing as neutrality, neutrality is the enemy, because neutrality means rebellion at any time!
There is no neutrality, when Shaoji Yizhen said these words, there is no possibility of swaying and currying favor with both sides, choosing an enemy or a friend, all in a thought, this is apportionment, it is a strong counterattack by the opposition of Fujiwara Nakamaro, maybe a moth throws fire, maybe it is an egg hitting a stone, but there is no way back in all this.
"As Datang's greeting envoy, I can't promise you anything. But what do I get as a friend of the Shao Er family? ”
Shao Eryi really smiled, and heard the meaning of the final negotiation from Zhen Qian's words, "What do you want, as long as it is owned by the Japanese state, except for the throne and the position of the Great Nayan, even if you are an official in the Japanese country?" ”
Zhen Qian also smiled, this is sincerity, of course, what you can get in the end depends on how strong Zhen Qian's strength is.
"I want all the islands south of Saikaido and the right to open mines in the Wa Kingdom, can you agree?"
