Chapter 427: Arms Dealing
If Zhen Qian's heart is darker, he will think that Zhen Qian is inviting people to buy people's hearts and doing things that should not be done by himself, and the perspective of looking at the problem is naturally different depending on the position, and the Tang Dynasty court will think that Zhen Qian is making an unauthorized advocacy to provoke trouble, and the Japanese government will also think that Zhen Qian is not doing his job properly and meddling in affairs, and only the people of the Japanese State will be ......grateful to Zhen Qian.
In the final analysis, the position of the butt is different, and the things to consider are different, Zhen Qian has only one purpose in doing this: to buy people's hearts!
Let go of four or five hundred pirate captives, and there will be four or five hundred more mouths to sing praises for Zhen Qian, one person said that the whole family listened, and one family heard that it was equivalent to one family and one village knowing Zhen Qian's benevolence and righteousness!
Zhen Qian was not a maritime merchant, and after the rescued captives heard that it was the Tang Dynasty that made Zhen Qian save them, it felt as if the civilians saw the emperor appear in front of them with heavenly soldiers.
This feeling is first of all because of the huge impact caused by the strength of the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the Japanese people, and there is an inexplicable good impression and trust for Zhen Qian, which is a sense of identity that cannot be exchanged for no amount of money, of course Zhen Qian will not let go of such a good opportunity to promote himself!
Zhen Jiu and Wang Tianxing don't understand the truth here, so they will naturally think that Zhen Qian's gains outweigh the losses, and Zhen Qian didn't understand it before, this is because the reason for looking at the problem has nothing to do with wisdom, and it has to do with the position under the buttocks.
The pirate captives who were about to leave would each be given a hundred yuan and some food, which of course were from the pirates' rich booty, and if it weren't for the fear of chaos, Zhen Qian would very much like these people to empty the entire island.
When the red sun in the west was hidden below the horizon, flames burned all over Iwo Jima, and the red of the sky made the whole island particularly gorgeous, and countless sparks drifted in the air with the sea breeze, and even the surrounding dark waters were reflected red.
A large sea ship was docked three miles away from Iwo Jima, and there were three pirate ships that had just been captured behind him, Zhen Qian stood at the bow of the ship and stared at Iwo Jima, Shao Er Dongshang was full of emotions, holding a bottle of chilled grape wine in his hand, at this time, the ice cubes could still be found on the ship, which made Shao Er Dongshang speechless in shock, but at this time, Shao Er Dongshang's mind was no longer on the question of why there were ice cubes on the ship.
"The Fujiwara clan is powerful, didn't Zhen Ying's envoy see the crisis? Once the Fujiwara family is allowed to dominate the right to speak in the court, they will inevitably want the Tang Dynasty to start a war, and then the two countries will be at war, the trade routes will be cut off, and the people's livelihood will wither. ”
I don't know if Shao Er Dongshang has water in his head, and he has been talking to Zhen Qian for a quarter of an hour about the dangers of the Fujiwara clan after he sits down, this is his own business!
"Forgive Zhen for being powerless, although I am an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, my task is to communicate with the Japanese state, but I can't interfere in the internal affairs of the Japanese people, and please don't say anything more!"
Shao Erdongshang's mouth was dry, and seeing that Zhen Qian was still unmoved, his face showed grief and said: "It's a pity that now the Japanese country is blinded by the Fujiwara clan, and few capable people are willing to come forward, and the Japanese country is a bright and bright country, although a certain is low and intelligent, but he is willing to throw his blood, please send Zhen Ying to help me?" ”
"You and I know each other, as long as it doesn't involve the internal affairs of the Japanese, it doesn't affect the friendly exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese state, and doesn't do anything that hurts nature and reason, Zhen will definitely help if he can help?"
Why do you have to make a lot of generous words before talking about interests, as if you are the embodiment of justice, conform to the destiny of heaven, conform to the hearts of the people, and everyone else is a devil and crooked way, everyone can be punished, such nonsense is just a fool and a stupid woman, isn't it playing the piano to the cow when you talk to Zhen Qian? Do you expect Zhen Qian to rush to the crown in anger and raise his sword to wipe out the Fujiwara clan.
"After preparing to go to Hyuga Country this time, I will gather people with lofty ideals to raise the banner of righteousness to crusade against the Fujiwara clan, hoping that Zhen Ying will send envoys to support some ordnance?"
After talking nonsense for such a long time, Zhen Qian waited for Shao Er Dongshang to open his mouth and ask himself about buying ordnance, what is support, who wants to do things that are not beneficial in this world, and those who treat others as fools are fools themselves.
Zhen Qian laughed dryly and said, "Young Erjun, this is the difference!" If I support your weapons and equipment, it will be equivalent to the Tang Dynasty meddling in the internal affairs of the Japanese state, which is a major event that provokes the diplomacy of the two countries, and Zhen can't afford this crime? ”
"Isn't Zhen Ying's envoy willing to help me?"
Zhen Qian immediately changed to a businessman's face and said, "If you are talking about such a thing with the greeting envoy of the Tang Dynasty, I can categorically refuse your request!" However, if you are saying these words to a businessman, it does not involve friendly exchanges between the two countries, as the saying goes, in business! Whether it's as a friend or a businessman, can I sell some weapons to Shao Erjun? ”
"Really!"
Shao Er Dongshang only wants the weapon in Zhen Qian's hand, as for whether Zhen Qian is using the identity of the Tang Dynasty to welcome and send off, or as a businessman, it doesn't matter to Shao Er Dongshang.
"Zhen Lang is willing to trade weapons and equipment with him?" Shao Er Dongshang reacted quickly, and immediately changed Zhen Qian's title from a greeting envoy to a address between friends.
"Of course! Shao Erjun, we are friends, if you want to buy weapons and equipment, you can only buy them from Shangjia, and there is no relationship between you and Datang? Is this my bottom line and my commitment? ”
Zhen Qian didn't call Shao Erdong Shang Shao Er's guardian from the beginning, but he didn't want to deal with the officials of the Japanese State, and of course he wouldn't drag Datang into this whirlpool.
Shao Erdong said impatiently: "I don't know if this weapon and equipment sale includes fire oil bombs and thunderbolt bombs?" ”
After Shao Erdong Shang saw the power of fire oil bombs and thunderbolt bombs, he made up his mind to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from Zhen Qian, weapons and equipment are also an important part of the private trade between the two countries, the best knives in this era Tang knife occupies an important position, the katana of the later Wa Kingdom has not appeared at this time, and the arms trade has been profitable from ancient times to the present, but the Tang court did not allow weapons and equipment to flow out of the Tang Dynasty, and found that the light were exiled and the heavy lost their heads. However, there were still many maritime merchants who came one after another to bring weapons from the Tang Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom and sell them at a good price.
"This ......!" Zhen Qian was a little embarrassed: "The more powerful the weapon, the rarer it is, this time I didn't bring too many oil bombs and thunderbolts when I came to the Wa Kingdom in a hurry, if Shao Erjun didn't need much, Zhen could take out a dozen of them for Shao Erjun to use first, and wait until the next time I came to the Wa Kingdom, how about bringing some more and selling them to Shao Erjun?" ”
When Shao Erdongshang heard that there were only a dozen of them, his mood immediately dimmed, and when he heard that Zhen Qian was going to bring more when he came to the Wa Kingdom next time, he immediately had a hope and said: "I don't know when Zhen Lang will come to the Wa Kingdom next time, how many such oil bombs and thunderbolt bombs can he bring?" Ready to buy them all? ”
