Chapter 132: The Grass and Mud Horses of Spain
In fact, there is no matter of time to break through Hirado Castle, but everyone is used to fighting surrender battles, once the Zheng obedient official as the lord has made up his mind, who really dares not to work hard, not to mention, the more samurai killed in Hirado Castle, the more meritorious deeds, these years, where are so many samurai heads for you to cut, it is all snowflake silver! So, after the cut, the Spanish mercenaries of Ryan Stein and the samurai under the Tachibana family began to fight for the head.
This really annoyed Zheng Chengguan, and said in his heart that it is no wonder that Europeans think that mercenaries are vultures and mud horses that flock to them when they smell corpses, and you can still eat and look good!
However, this is not the time to care, after all, people are mercenaries, you expect these people to have the virtues of knights is a dream, so, these people can only be cannon fodder, the early strategy of Kyushu is used for a makeshift use, and so on in the later stage of the season when there are many generals, who is still rare you, however, the good official has the intention to leave some of these elite veterans, who can be used as instructors, after all, the Spanish phalanx shined in the 16th and 17th centuries, not to mention anything else, first of all, it should be seen by those generals on the nine sides, How can the phalanx, which is shrunk into a hedgehog, not collapse in the face of artillery fire and kill the enemy.
Therefore, Zheng obedient officials don't care about the ugly appearance of these European turtles, but the samurai of the Tachibana family were scolded by him for a while, you know, hundreds of samurai knelt in front of him, you can scold as much as you want, this kind of hearty pleasure is definitely not something that later generations of otaku can experience.
Therefore, knowing that this is not good, the obedient official was still impulsive, and scolded the Kyushu turtle warriors so that they didn't dare to look up, because people have a show-off mentality, just like when mobile phones were first popularized in later generations, those who have mobile phones can't wait to make a dozen calls on the street to show themselves, even if the situation at that time is not possible to have more than a dozen calls, who to call, the ghost knows, however, this is the surname of the person.
Therefore, the obedient official was really majestic, and in front of the bombed Hirado Castle, not far from the strange situation of climbing on the roofs of various houses in Hirado Town, which was full of people watching the battle, a teenager, kneeling in front of hundreds of samurai, he walked back and forth, and scolded the noble samurai masters who were in the eyes of the people in the town, and those samurai old men, kneeling like a quail, did not even dare to put a fart.
This is simply incredible in the eyes of ordinary Fuso people, you know, even if the lord reprimands his retainers, who has ever seen such a scale? What era is this? It's the Warring States period on the next gram! It is said that this kind of large-scale drinking and scolding of the retainers,Only the Lord Oda Youfu, known as the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, has done this.,And the final outcome of the Lord of the Right House is to be killed by the rebellion of the subordinates.,Now someone is doing it again.,And the person who did it looks like he's only a teenager and just dressed in Yuanfu.,Just now he ordered the slaughter of the Matsuura family.,This son scolded the retainers like this.。
However, most of the people who watched and watched felt very happy, and this was like a criticism meeting in later generations, when those landlords and rich peasants were pulled to the stage, and perhaps the poor peasants below clearly knew that these landlords and rich peasants may not have done anything bad, but they just felt very happy, very happy.
When the samurai men travel, ordinary people have to kneel on the side of the road, and now when I see these samurai men kneeling there, the feeling is nothing more than that, ha, you also have today.
The obedient officials didn't care about right or wrong, and scolded the samurai of the entire Tachibana family so much that they couldn't wait to take the wakicha and forget it, and one by one, their faces turned purple and touched the ground with their foreheads, where did they dare to say a word, after all, it was really unsightly to grab the head with the southern barbarians, but then, all the samurai were ecstatic, because the obedient officials were tired of scolding, and then routinely slapped the rules of a sweet date, reward, low-level samurai each had a consistent money, intermediate samurai each had three guan money, and senior samurai had five guan money per person.
This kind of rewarding method, if you change your name, you will have to go bankrupt immediately, but the good official is not afraid! the groove, the Matsuura family, the Goto family, and the Hadao family, these three are all old Japanese cowards, so they have to have some surplus food!
Therefore, under the heavy reward, the obedient official suddenly became his father, the samurai who knelt on the ground grabbed the ground with their heads, and they didn't know whether to cry or laugh on their faces, since they met this Ming Maocai, from the killing of the princess Fang of the Otomo family, and then each person pressed the bloody handprint to declare allegiance, all kinds of surprise, joy, they have been a little numb, if it is said that tomorrow this Maocai will unify Kyushu and call himself Kyushu to explore the topic, and then each person will seal a thousand Zhixing, whether the samurai of other families believe it or not, they may not believe it.
Of course, this is the treatment that only samurai have, and the ashigaru have two hundred wen each, which is enough for the ashigaru to treat the good officials as their own fathers, so many daimyo today, whose ashigaru fights and pays back the money? Fighting for the lords and lords is an obligation, and if you can eat white rice dumplings, you have to kneel on the ground and thank you a thousand times.
Watching Zheng Chengguan reward him lavishly, Tachibana Xuanhe was so entangled in his heart! This Maocai master is good at everything, but he is too good at tossing and losing, and the lord's family has no surplus food! The most important thing is that if you are used to the reward of Master Maocai, you will fight with His Royal Highness Otomo Zonglin and His Royal Highness Tachibana Daoxue in the future, and there is no reward, what should I do?
He vaguely realized that something was wrong, but don't look at the good official smiling and calling him Lord Mikawa Mamoru, in fact, the hearts of the people are back, and the samurai have completely accepted this master of the Ming country.
Whether this method of spending money to fight a war is good or not, in short, there are arguments, the most famous thing in Fuso to spend money to fight is the Yuchai Hideyoshi at this moment, known for loving the soldiers, and the people who can spend money to solve it will never take human lives to fill it, looking at the famous war of Yushiba Hideyoshi, it is basically a posture of smashing people with money, but the one who is known for his [China Great Return] and ordered the people to make hot rice from the white rice at home at ten times the price and put it on the side of the road for the soldiers who are in a hurry to eat, and the money is not as generous as Zheng Mao's!
In Tachibana Genga's view, they are fighting a tailwind battle, and they don't need to reward money at all, just ask for a few samurai symbols with more heads to be rewarded, and it is really ...... Of course, he would never dare to say this, after all, he had just been taught a lesson by the good official and Sister Chiyo before, so where would he dare to talk more.
The good official's move is nothing more than to let everyone know in front of everyone, do it with me, the benefits are great, what about killing Mao Cai, under the recitation of the onlookers, his generosity will also be recited.
If you want to spend money, you can spend a lot of money so that people have nothing to say, just like Dad makes a few clothes for Chen Jiru and Dong Qichang today, and Ming'er makes a few robes. The obedient official secretly thought, when it comes to spending money, my old man is still big, I am rich and confident, my old man, when he has no money, he is still extravagant, but it can't be said that it is useless, I didn't see that Chen Jiru, who was even above the top, was also knocked down by his own old man.
If Daddy Zheng knew that the good official was spending money to imitate himself, he didn't know how to feel.
At this time, the obedient official began to reward the guy with the most heads, and called it up to take a look, it was actually a foot light, and the height was estimated to be at least 1.9 meters, no wonder, this kind of size can already be regarded as a monster in Fusang.
After the ashigaru was brought up, he knelt in front of Zheng obedient official with a pop, not because his legs were weak, but because the obedient official was in the eyes of this kind of ashigaru, it was really similar to the emperor.
This guy was the first to attack Hirado Castle, or the first to rush into Hirado Castle, with the custom of Fuso, this guy is the battle of Hirado Castle [Ichiban gun] and [Ichiban] plus [Ichibanshou], so the good official naturally does not hesitate to reward, his biggest flaw now is that there are few people, set up a model, then don't worry about no one to run, immediately rewarded this lucky guy samurai status and five hundred stone of knowledge, envy the rest of the people's eyes are green.
"Do you have a Miao character?" The good official was in a good mood, so he asked the guy who was knocked out by joy, I have to say, the so-called [Heaven and Earth are all the same force], this guy is really lucky, and he had an idea for a while, as if Zhu Bajie had eaten the fruit of life and opened his mind, and immediately kowtowed, "The villain's young name is Big Bear, please give the name to the master." ”
I knew that it was this kind of name, and the obedient official was already mentally prepared when he asked, and it was strange for a foot light to have a name, it was nothing more than a good name, but he looked at this guy and kowtowed again and again, and couldn't help it for a while, so he said: "Then, I will give you the Miao word Gangtian!" I hope you can be a brave general who is unparalleled in the world, and you are called Takeshi Gangda...... Ahem! After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Sister Chiyo, who was overjoyed to receive the name, "I would like to offer all my loyalty to the Lord's family." ”
The obedient officer smiled in his heart, and the expression on his face twitched a little, and Chiyo couldn't help but ask him in a low voice when he looked like this, he restrained the smile on his face, said nothing, and then began to deal with the problem of the Spanish mercenary.
These mercenaries are easy to solve, promised in advance, each of them will be given three taels of silver, and then, the good official asked Tachibana Xuanhe to get five hundred taels of gold on the boat, and when he heard five hundred taels of gold, Tachibana Xuanhe almost fainted, and finally couldn't help it, "Maocai, this is five hundred taels of gold." ”
The good official was not angry, and said in his heart that I paid for this gold out of my own pocket, what are you anxious about, I couldn't help but stab him, what, are you going to make me untrustworthy? Hurry up, and by the way, count the salary of three taels of silver each of these guys. Chiyo next to him saw that the husband had signs of anger, and hurriedly let Tachibana Xuanhe go, and Tachibana Xuanhe was on the ship, but he also knew that the gold was given to Master Maocai by the Zhongli general of Ningbo Bawei of the Ming Kingdom, and he had nothing to do with the Tachibana family Yongle Tongbao, so he had to get on the boat.
At this time, because everyone was still outside Hirado Town, the cold wind of the New Year was still very biting, especially Hirado Castle killed too many people, and there was a smell of blood in the wind. ”
The obedient official seemed to have a smile on his face, so he said to Yi Neng Jingzhai: "Don't you think that some things should be done better in front of people!" Yi Neng Jingzhai suddenly realized, it turned out that Xiao Mao was trying to buy people's hearts, no wonder he was so wanton with silver!
As the first dog leg under the command of a good official, how could he bear to let the lord stand in the cold wind all the time! Hurriedly retreated silently, but called Kan Naoto and a few others, and hurriedly got on the boat to get the Taishi chair, the big gun, the furnace, the Persian blanket to shelter the wind and other things, Kan Naoto and the others immediately went.
Naturally, it was Tachibana Xuanhe who came back from the ship with them, and even Hu Litao came ashore, and the five hundred taels of gold were not a small amount, and there was no warrant or anything, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked the household to take the silver, then he had to write a holy decree! In this way, the officials of the household department also refused to pay the silver because there was no cabinet seal on the holy decree.
Therefore, he, Hu Litao, naturally wants to send it in person, and you can't say that five hundred taels is five hundred taels if you say that five hundred taels are five hundred taels! Although you once said that you would swear goodbye to my old Hu brother and change his surname to Hu Lihua.
The five hundred taels of gold were taken out, and the box was put in front of the Spanish mercenaries like Ryanstein, and when it was opened, it was full of gold, which immediately dazzled the eyes of those European turtles.
In fact, there were three taels of silver per mercenary salary for these Spanish mercenaries here, and when the good officer loudly announced that the gold would be exchanged for the salary of these mercenaries at a ratio of 1:10, Ryan Stein said it aloud in Spanish with a surprised face, and those mercenaries immediately threw the hats on their heads into the sky, "viva", and all kinds of hats and Spanish pot helmets flew all over the sky.
This is the reason for the different exchange ratios, the good officials have already used the gold and silver exchange ratio of the Ming Dynasty, but in Europe, the gold and silver exchange ratio is as high as 1:15 or even higher, which is equivalent to the good officials giving them a salary of 5,000 yuan a month, and finally issued 7,005, no one likes the silver, and the European turtles like it.
"Allow me, honorable Excellency, to offer you the highest respect." Ryan Stein knelt on one knee, and then, huhula, all the mercenaries also knelt down, as if a knight was serving a king, anyway, the mercenaries have enough respect for the aristocratic lord who is willing to pay his salary on time and in quantity, this year, who paid you the full salary in Europe, and the lord of the Ming Kingdom in front of him, actually gave a tip, whoever gave the money, who is God, no matter how good those noble lords said before, but in fact, the mercenaries are always the worst.
Therefore, these mercenaries are willing to dedicate their loyalty to this lord of the Ming Kingdom, who is not selling, naturally it is more cost-effective to sell a lord who is happy with money, as for His Majesty the King, let him hell with him! Chingasumadre (grass mud horse), damned Philip II never once gave a verbally promised salary.
"Oh! Oh, God! I can't believe it. "At sea, that Isabella. Antreep. Countess Francisco was opening her cherry lips wide enough to fit two eggs, and she couldn't believe that she had seen in her binoculars a knight of the Knights of Malta with countless Spanish mercenaries bowing down to a heretic.
