Chapter 643: The Tiger and the Hungry Wolf
A day later, two flyships arrived at Tanegashima, which was five or six hundred miles from the Goho Islands, and even the flyships had to sail for more than four days to reach them.
And from Tanegashima to Qiumei Island along the first island chain, it will take more than ten days, so Zhen Shi's attack on Qiumei Island this time is said to be two months, but in fact, it is only one and a half months, and this battle can be said to be the first step that Zhen Qian really took at sea after the occupation of the Wufeng Islands.
If this battle goes well, the Gomine Islands, Tanegashima Island, Yakushima Island, and the entire Ryukyu Islands will be connected in a line, which is equivalent to crossing the entire sea area between the north and the south, and in the future, merchant ships from Jiangnan and other places can choose to arrive at Kumi Island first, even if it is not during the monsoon season, and then go north to the Wakoku for trading, and they can travel back and forth to the Wakoku more than two or three times a year.
Of course, this is only the surface, the real benefit is that the island controlled by Zhen Qian is more closely connected with Datang, and it is no longer really isolated overseas.
Even after controlling the island of Taiwan in the future, Zhen Qian's influence will be able to reach the southeast coast, and at that time, Zhen Qian will really be able to gain a foothold overseas and control the entire maritime trade of the Tang Dynasty.
As Zhen Qian controlled more and more islands, even Zhen Qian himself didn't know how ridiculous the idea of self-preservation was at the beginning.
There are no eggs under the nest!
After all, when Zhen Qian first came to Datang, he had the idea that a little rich would be safe in his heart, if it weren't for the huge crisis of the Anshi Rebellion, which made Zhen Qian breathless and didn't dare to relax at all, I am afraid that Zhen Qian's idea of being a rich man in his life could really be realized.
Fate always likes to play tricks on people!
In addition to Zhen Qian, he also made a big joke on the three of Shao Er Dongshang.
Maybe Zhen Qian really misunderstood Shao Er Dongshang, although Shao Er Dongshang hated Zhen Qian for capturing him, but after all, there was no life-and-death feud between Shao Er Dongshang and Zhen Qian, in contrast, when Fujiwara Shuxiong captured Matsuura City, he also secretly saved his wife and several children, which was considered to be kind to the Shao Er family.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Shaoer Dongshang to become the guardian of Osumi Province now. But sometimes I can't help myself, and what I'm talking about is Shao Erdong is still now.
In a house in Kaya Prefecture, Osumi Province.
Shao Er Dongshang listened to the report of the visitor, his face was gloomy as a thousand years of ice, and he waved his hand to drive the others in the room away, and then looked at the two people sitting next to him and said, "The plan has failed!" ”
The old man sitting on the left hand lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and then looked up at the burly middle-aged man opposite: "I hope this time will not make Zhen Qian crazy and lose his mind, we still underestimate Zhen Qian's strength, not only on land, but also on the sea, we can't easily capture Zhen Qian, the old man opposed this plan at the beginning, you don't listen, how to end it now!" ”
The burly middle-aged man was none other than Ji Yishou, and said with a hideous look on his face: "Don't worry, if Zhen Qian had the strength you said, I'm afraid he would have killed him a long time ago." Since Zhen Qian did not return, it means that he does not have this strength at all, this matter is all the incompetence of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, more than 300 pirate ships actually let the three flyships kill the big defeat, it is useless for this person to stay! ”
Shao Er Dongshang's face twitched suddenly, among the three of them, Ryoshi Yuan resolutely opposed this plan, this is not to say that Ji Yishou and Zhen Qian have any life and death friendship, but they don't want to tear their faces with Zhen Qian now.
Ji Yi Code thought that Zhen Qian should be controlled in his own hands, only Shao Er Dongshang's position wavered, and after listening to Ji Yishou's plan, he thought that it was foolproof, so he reluctantly agreed to Ji Yishou's plan, who would have thought that it would be such a result.
"That's it! I shouldn't have listened to your ...... in the first place", Shao Er Dongshang's character is destined to be a centrist, but he can't stand the demagogy of others, just like when he was preparing to attack Fujiwara Shuxiong in Hizen Country, he always looked ahead and backwards, "Now we should send someone to contact Zhen Qian, I hope he can look at our previous cooperation and forget about this matter!" ”
"Smack!"
Ji Yishou slapped the table in front of him suddenly, and his body straightened up suddenly: "We should now send troops to attack Tanegashima and Yakushima, instead of bowing to Zhen Qian, you are raising tigers for trouble!" ”
"It's your own business to send troops, and Osumi Kuni won't be involved!"
Yuan Liangqing shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Don't argue with the two of you anymore, now we have no chance, after this incident, maybe Zhen Qian will not tear his face with us, after all, we didn't take action in person." But once we send troops to attack Zhen Qian, it will be a situation of non-death, Ji Jun, are you sure that Zhen Qian will be eliminated within a month? ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Kii Mamoru is still tough.
"Nonsense, if you fail, will you bear the consequences?" Shao Erdong Shang was also anxious, "In a month, Tosa Province will be the first to start a war, and at that time we will echo Tosa Province in Saikaido, do you think we have the ability to deal with Zhen Qian now?" ”
In fact, the reason why Yuan Liangqing was reluctant to tear his face with Zhen Qian at this time was also considering the plan for Tosa to attack a month later, this plan has been hidden for too long, so long that many people have forgotten it.
There are still many things that Zhen Qian doesn't know, the reason why there has been no war in Xikaidao for a long time, in addition to waiting for the Ezo clan to distract him, there are also other families involved, the war has never been thought up by that person with a hot brain, and even the interception of Zhen Qian this time is not something that Shao Erdongshang can decide personally.
"We need an ally, and even if it isn't, we can't make him our enemy, we can only say that you are in a hurry this time!"
Yuan Liangqing slowly stood up, with a tired face, and walked out of the house, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.
Shao Erdong still looked at Ji Yishou who was far away, and looked at it again: "Zhen Qian is not an impulsive person, I hope he can forgive me this time, don't talk about the attack on the island again, we have to deal with the next thing with all our heart now, Yuan Jun is right, our enemy is not Zhen Qian!" ”
Ji Yishou snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, kicked over the case in front of him with one kick, stepped forward to leave, and turned around when he walked to the door: "If the Fujiwara clan is a tiger, then Zhen Qian is a hungry wolf, while we are dealing with the Fujiwara clan, we must also beware of the hungry wolf behind us, you will understand what I said one day!" ”
Shao Er Dongshang was silent, watching Ji Yishou leave, a scene of getting along with Zhen Qian appeared in front of him, and sighed, at this time, only he knew in his heart that if Zhen Qian was easy to deal with, he would have made a move a long time ago, some people may not be friends, but they are not necessarily enemies, but this time the stable situation was broken, and I don't know what will happen in the future?
"Zhen Qian, I really don't want to be your enemy, but for the sake of the Japanese country, I have to be your enemy, I hope you don't wronged me!"
