Fukue Island. [No pop-up novel network]

"Brother Ma, the maritime merchants who are close to the distance have all the news, and the reputation of the Maori family has spread to the area of Jinnai, and many daimyo have expressed their respect to us through the maritime merchants, and they all said that as long as we are willing to help, any conditions can be discussed."

Lu Renyi said excitedly, he is equivalent to Ma Ang's deputy in the Governor's Palace, especially in the military, he is the general of the naval army who stands alone, for him, the strategy of the Japanese State is absolutely not to be lost. This not only involves the issue of merit, but to a greater extent, he does not want to live up to the trust of the Hou Ye and the kindness of promoting him to Yu Weimo.

"Of course." Ma Ang smiled calmly: "Hou Ye has the wisdom to know people, the Shanyin region is still a mountainous area, but that Liu Qi can command two thousand cavalry like an arm, and fully exert his power, it is strange that the Japanese people are not shocked, haha." ”

After the First World War, the Maori family quickly unified An Yun, and then marched north at the urging of Liu Qi. Iwami battle,Annihilated thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ouchi family,And then defeated the Niko family who wanted to pick up the cheap,Two months and three battles,The Maori family jumped to become a daimyo that shook the western country,Liu Qi, who is known as Maori Kogoro,Also got the nickname of the first general in the western country。

Now that the Ouchi family has completely retreated to Zhou Fang and Nagato, the Nizi family is even more precarious, because of remorse, Sugi Takeaki vomited blood and fell ill, and Nizi often lamented for a long time. All of this is a footnote to the rumors that Maung has spread through the Maori family, making it sound more credible.

The rumors are very legendary, and this is roughly the case.

The famous general Kogoro is a warrior, and in order to pursue the highest meaning of the art of war, he crossed the ocean to the Ming Kingdom and was taught by a certain adult. Then, he not only comprehended the mystery of the art of war, but also gathered a group of cavalry from the north of the Ming Kingdom, and then, at the most dangerous moment of the Maori family, appeared on the battlefield and turned the situation in one fell swoop.

There are many people who believe in it, and there are many people who don't believe it, but whether they believe it or not, the Japanese country, especially the daimyo in the Sanyin and Sanyang areas, have to look sideways at the Maori family, because no matter how they came to be, the strength of the other party is already in front of them.

For the legendary lord of the kingdom, the daimyo also have their own measurements, and there are many people like Urakamimura Mune, which surprised the maritime merchants first, and at the same time enjoyed a super-national treatment.

Taking Maori as a model, and then supporting warlords by sea to achieve a perfect strategy for the Japanese kingdom, in fact, this strategy is exactly the one set by Xie Hongdang, and on the basis of the original, it has been supplemented, and now the plan is more perfect.

For businessmen, troubled times are a time of opportunity and trouble. Needless to say, as long as you look at the wind and bet, you may be able to fight for a background; can mention that in troubled times, even if a businessman is strong, he can only frown.

Safety cannot be guaranteed is one of them, the most troublesome is the checkpoints all over the place, every level of checkpoints has to be stripped of a layer of skin, and each force has its own set of rules, profits are really not guaranteed.

The troubled times of the Wa Kingdom are much more exaggerated than those of the Central Plains, and the sixty-six countries, each of which has a number of forces of different sizes, are enough to make people desperate when they travel by land. As for the sea route, the navigation technology of the Wa Kingdom itself was not well developed, so all parts of the country were in a relatively closed state.

The silk tea sold by the maritime merchants in Jiangnan was a luxury item in the Wa Kingdom, with a relatively high profit margin and a more popular product with the daimyos, so there was no need for them to cast a net everywhere, they only needed to trade with local snakes like the Matsuura Party or the Ouchi family, and then the other party would find a way to make a move.

The few who had the intention of expanding the trade routes, at most pondered the trade routes to the Kinai, and although the Wa Kingdom was very chaotic, the Kai Town, a port where the local merchants of the Wa Province were self-governed, was quite peaceful, and if the goods were shipped there, the price could be raised.

Xie Hong's mind is much bigger than that of the Jiangnan people, what he wants to do is not only to make money by doing sea trade, but to completely monopolize the shipping and trade of the Japanese State, and while earning a huge amount of gold and silver from the Japanese State, he also wants to use trade to control the situation of the Japanese State.

Except for the few large mines that he was targeting, the entire island of the Wa Kingdom was covered with gold and silver. Although the wealth of most places is not as concentrated as that of Nagasaki or Kaimachi, the new maritime merchants in the north are not the same as the old maritime merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, they have less capital and a smaller scale of trade, which is just right to cast a wide net out of the sky.

With the existence of these merchants, the Wa Kingdom will continue to remain closed on the land routes, and at the same time, it will not be able to study navigation and shipbuilding, after all, the foundation of this era does not have the crisis consciousness of the island country in later generations, at least not so urgently.

If it weren't for Xie Hong's own food shortage, he would have been eager to let the merchants transport grain to sell, and the wars of the Japanese kingdom were generally fought in winter, not because they were not afraid of the cold, but only winter was more suitable for gathering peasants and soldiers.

Once enough food could be bought with gold and silver, the daimyo would have been happy to fight the war year after year, and in the process, the Japanese would slowly bleed and weaken until they died.

Of course, Xie Hong will not explain these reasons to the captains, and here in the Wa Kingdom, only core figures like Maang have an understanding of this strategy, and the captains are more concerned about which trade route they will get, and how to develop the road as much as possible.

Ma Ang was not surprised at all by Xie Hong's strategic planning, he had long been accustomed to it, and even those scholars in the court were not the opponents of Brother Xie, let alone the small Wa Kingdom? No matter how cunning the Japanese are, they are just a little clever, how can they be compared with Brother Xie's world-mindedness?

What surprised him was Liu Qi. Most people know that the cavalry is most afraid of the place where the water network is crisscrossed, followed by the mountains, and this is the terrain of Anyu and Iwami, or in other words, most of the Wa Kingdom is like this. Therefore, Ma Ang was a little suspicious of Xie Hong's decision to mobilize the Mongolian cavalry, and he was also a military household, so he was no stranger to the military.

Unexpectedly, a Liu Qi appeared and exerted the power of cavalry in the mountains, although it may be because their opponents are relatively weak, but this person's command ability, as well as Xie Hong's insight, also have to make people sigh.

Of course, Ma Ang will be surprised, and it is also related to the fact that he does not know Liu Qi's background, there are many mountains in Shandong, and Xiangma has to rob and avoid officers and soldiers, and when marching and fighting, where will he care about the terrain or something, it is the most suitable candidate.

For Xie Hong, this was actually a surprise, when he drew up the strategy, he didn't expect that he would recruit this famous horse thief leader.

Ma Ang clapped his hands, stood up, and greeted: "The problem of the new maritime merchants has been solved, next, let's go to Jeju Island and deal with those old maritime merchants, after so many days, they must be in a hurry, haha." ”

"If they don't know each other again, the unlucky ones are still to come." Lu Renyi's eyes showed murderous intent and sneered slightly.

…… Jin Jushu was really anxious, after leaving Dengzhou, he took the people sent by Wang Jianzhi back to Hanyang, all the way desperately running around without saying, he was not idle when he returned to Hanyang, through the North Bang faction to instruct the king, and then in the name of the Korean royal court to contact Jeju Island, after a long toss, this was the other party's nod, so, they came to Jeju Island with the payment.

But I never thought that after arriving on Jeju Island, the matter was not resolved, for more than ten consecutive days, not to mention Governor Maang, even the other party's agent, his old rival Jin Xia Ai only showed his face once, these days he has a fire in his heart, alas, people are anxious, people are anxious to die.

Not only is he anxious, but the people sent by Wang Jianzhi are also anxious and afraid, every time they delay for one more day, the panic in their hearts will intensify a point, for fear that the other party will peek into the truth, or what trickery is brewing, their own surname is a trivial matter, if it delays the major affairs of the adults, it is really a hundred deaths.

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, this day finally looked forward to the appearance of Jin Xia Ai, Jin You was impatient to meet him, regardless of the contempt in the other party's eyes, bowed and said: "Lord Jin, but there is news from the Governor's side?" ”

"Lucky for you, Master Ma just made some time, you can come with this official." Jin Xia loves to use his nostrils to face his old opponent and said arrogantly.

"Great." Glancing at a few people pretending to be entourage, Jin Jushu was overjoyed.

Jeju Island is still the same, but it is a little quiet without the sound of horses neighing, and the low thatched houses by the sea are still the same, but next to the original Manho Mansion, there is a new house, which is the governor's annex.

"You're the one who wants to buy the boat?" When Jin Jushu and the others entered, Ma Ang was holding the teacup and didn't even lift his eyelids.

"It's ...... Villain. In order to show respect, Jin Jushu temporarily changed his name.

"Well, this official has always done things fairly, and he won't bully you little people, you just have to rest assured that you ......" Ma Ang lazily raised his eyelids, stretched out a finger, and said: "For the sake of North Korea's always respectful, this official will give you a preferential price, 50,000 taels of gold a ship, one hand of money, one hand of goods, and one hand of goods. ”

"Uh...... "Don't bully us little people?" It's a lot of bullying, right? Since you bandits came to Jeju Island, how many blood and tears have we Koreans shed! No, the nightmare came earlier than this, it should have started with the appearance of the plague god, if it wasn't for the plague god to stir up the situation, would last year's day be so sad?

"The kindness of the adults is really high, and the whole North Korean is grateful...... when he said these unconscionable words, Kim Jushu's heart was also colic, but the smile on his face was very sincere, full of flattery.

"Please forgive me, the villain has a reluctant request, that is...... Can you let the villain inspect the goods a priori? "Endure humiliation and burden, these are all performances, everything is for the sake of this sentence to pave the way, Jin Jushu endured his trembling legs and asked this question hard.
