Chapter 749: You Say Count
The mania disappeared with the eruption and gradually subsided, and Chen Xie, who was sitting on the kang and smoking, still had a gloomy face. Whether it's this world or the modern world, it's essentially the same. Chen Xie knows very well that human society is always a pyramid structure, depending on how high you can climb.
Ah Yue, who came in with a copper basin, ignored Ah Xi, who was still lying limp on the kang, she was already numb to this scene, and even a little jealous that her sister could withstand the wind and rain from the master at this time. This will at least prove that she is the first choice over others when she needs it most, proving that she is valuable.
As a ninja, those who can be sent to Chen Xie and left behind are the envy of those of the same kind in China. Ninjas don't have a high status in Japan, and these people who live in the shadows have never had a chance to be in front of people. But when Chen Xie was around, he could clearly feel the humility of the local master. Just rush this, it's worth it. Not to mention the abundance of materials in life, which can be compared to the fact that I often don't have enough to eat when I was training in Japan.
The towel soaked in warm water was wrung out, and Ah Xi, who was kneeling in front of him, carefully cleaned the battlefield. Ah Xi had already relieved himself, got up and cleaned up briefly, and came over to reach for a towel to take over. Ah Yue hesitated, and when she met her sister's firm gaze, her hand still loosened, and she silently took a step back.
The competition between the two sisters, Chen Xie didn't see it at all. In Chen Xie's eyes, this Japanese woman is a group of loyal dogs. Their loyal servants have no problem at all, but they don't do much.
"Go, call Masayuki Hoshina!" Chen Xie gave an order, Ah Yue retreated, and after a while, Ah Yue's voice was heard at the door: "Master, Ah Yue brought people here." "The house has returned to normalcy. The kang was cleaned up, and Chen Xie was also dressed and sat upright, without any abnormality.
"Come in!" Chen Xie's voice was low and powerful, and Bao Ke Masayuki was called, and he felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart. When he saw Chen Xie, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "What is the lord's send?" Chen Xie glanced at him condescendingly. Said lightly: "You go back tomorrow, I will send someone to send you back, there is a garrison in the lease, which can ensure the safety of your family." Sue sΓΉ Tokugawa, hold on for a month and a half, it will take time for me to mobilize troops and horses here. β
"My lord! The subordinate has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not? "Baoke Masashi doesn't dare to leave like this, it's no different from not coming here like this, there is always something to achieve. I can't talk until I go back. "Hmm!" Chen Xie nodded, and Bao Ke was right: "The future king of Dongying, the birth of KuΓ i is conducive to the stability of Dongying." β
Chen Xie smiled when he heard this: "What's the matter, can't someone Chen sit in that seat first?" Bao Ke Masayuki immediately understood, and immediately kowtowed like garlic and said: "The lord atone for his sins, and the subordinates are dull, so go back and do what the lord commands." β
Chen Xie was happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What are you going to do?" "Between words. There is a lot of ridicule. Baoke Masayuki didn't dare to think so, he had to work hard to prove that his savings were valuable. "After the subordinate goes back. First convey the meaning of the lord to Tokugawa, and then find some like-minded people to jointly launch an appeal, kneeling down and asking the lord to take pity on Toei Kojima and reluctantly accept the position of king of Toei first. β
Masayuki Hoshina felt that Chen Xie didn't seem to like the term "Japan". wittily followed the change of words "Dongying".
"Good, so be it. When leaving, there was a regiment of troops that followed, and they did not dare to say that they could win, and it was not a problem to hold it for two months. If you don't worry about the safety of your family. Send it in to the lend-lease, there is a garrison there, and you can be safe. After Chen Xie finished speaking unhurriedly, Masayuki Baoshi's face showed a look of joy, he was a person with no ambitions, otherwise he would not be able to honor Tokugawa. The joy now is really because he has truly seen that he and his family can be protected.
As for whether he will send his family to rent it, Masayuki Baoke doesn't dare to think about it at all. Without family members as hostages, why should Chen Xie believe them? A group of defeated dogs, if they don't show some sincerity, they might as well support those heroes.
Bao Ke Masayuki retreated, and when he saw Li Xiang holding a Wen JiΓ n clip at the door, he immediately bowed his head and didn't dare to look directly. Li Xiang was like air, lifted the curtain and came in, handed a copy of the text in his hand to Chen Xie, and said: "Master, this is the situation from Wanyu's side, I asked people to check it, and it is basically consistent with what Li Hunyuan said." β
"Well, so be it." Chen Xie glanced at it and was not interested in continuing to watch, but Li Xiang did not relent: "Is it really just that?" Is it appropriate to let Chang and Li come forward to deal with it? Chen Xie couldn't help but show a weird smile when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Didn't you send someone to supervise?" Don't have faith in the young people of the Renaissance Society? β
"After all, they are a little younger, and they don't need those old thieves." Li Xiang was not confident, Chen Xie didn't mean to give her advice, just smiled: "Don't worry, just follow and keep an eye on it, and you'll know when the time comes." Li Xiang still didn't understand, but she didn't ask again, and when she exited, she saw Chen Zilong coming, nodded and said, "Mr. Wozi." β
Chen Zilong smiled back and wanted to go in, but was stopped by Li Xiang and said, "The master handled it too simply." "Chen Zilong only let him know what she meant, and he also knew what she meant, so he let himself persuade Chen Xie." Hehe, just do what your grandfather tells you to do. β
Early the next morning, Masayuki Hoshina was woken up, and with a dozen of his men, he followed a young officer into the carriage and sent him all the way to the train station. When he arrived here, he found that an army had almost boarded the car, and Masayuki Hoshina soon discovered that the weapons of this army were all different, and there was no common flintlock mechanism. There was also a monster he hadn't seen before, and some cannons that looked very different. followed to a colonel, and Masayuki Hoshina hurriedly bowed: "I'm Masayuki Hoshina, please take care of me." β
"You're welcome, Liu Qingshan, the first regiment commander of the First Division. I was given the task of making sure that Edo was not lost. βγ Liu Qingshan was tall and had to bow his head when he looked at Baoke Zhengzhi. After a brief contact, the young lieutenant left Masayuki Hoshina and went back to his life, and Masayuki Hoshina got on the train with him, and after a long whistle, the train started.
On the train, Baoke Masayuki learned that a train had been sent last night, taking away half of the troops and equipment.
"Your Excellency Regiment Commander, how many people are in a regiment?" Baoke Zhengzhi looked for an opportunity to ask, but Liu Qingshan told him very simply: "Not much, less than 3,000, five infantry battalions, a firepower company, and a brigade and platoon-level unit under the regimental headquarters. "Baoke Masayuki listened and looked at the direction of the sea with difficulty, how much role can more than 2,000 people play? You know, the shogunate's army had 50,000 troops, and this did not stop the attack of the coalition army, and they were defeated and retreated, losing a large part of their territory.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to question it, fearing that in that case, he would be thrown off the train first.
Li Xiang really went to find Chang Shiren the next day, dressed in a military uniform, and he didn't look heroic. Under the banner of supervision, when she arrived at the place, she found that the situation was not as simple as she thought, Chang Shiren was really guarded here, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and when she approached to inquire, she saw a full house of guests, and they were all businessmen.
"Secretary Li, everything in Shenyang City is here, and I have already sent someone to arrest other places." Chang Shiren didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came up to report. What grandfather raises his hand to walk a way of life for everyone, this is a premise, that is, those who don't take the road of life can only go to the road of death. If you can't understand it like this, Chang Shiren won't be able to get to this point.
"General Chang is polite, I'm just here to take a look, how to deal with it and ensure that I don't interfere." Li Xiang's words sounded polite, and there was a sense of distrust in his bones. Chang Shiren was helpless, and at this time he could only try his best to make up for himself. He didn't think about rebelling or anything, it didn't sound good, as long as he mentioned it, the people below could be tied up by him and sent to Chen Xie to invite merit.
"Okay, let's do it one by one." Chang Shiren sighed, led her into a separate courtyard, and sat in the front hall, waiting for Zhang Qing, the first businessman to be brought in.
"Lao Zhang, grandpa still lives in your yard, I don't have a lot of things, how much do you say you can take?" As soon as Chang Shiren opened his mouth, he said this, and took out how much money to buy his life. Zhang Qing is very sober, it is a thing of the past that the social status of businessmen in the Ming Dynasty is not high, but there is also something to do.
"I have prepared an account book below, and all the transactions I have made over the years have been recorded. According to the above figures, I can take out more than 8 million silver dollars here. This should be heard from another angle, that is, Zhang Qingneng took out eight million silver yuan to buy a life for himself. If Chen Xie can raise the status of a businessman, he can find an excuse to destroy them. What's more, these guys are too out of line, and they don't have to bother to make excuses.
"Don't report it, for Yue'er's sake, let me remind you." Chang Shiren said this coldly, Zhang Qing's face showed a painful look like a knife, and he said with a slight waist: "Then add another two million and make up a whole number." β
Hearing this, Chang Shiren glanced at Li Xiang, who was sitting there expressionlessly, crooked his mouth, and said to the officer who recorded: "Don't remember this sentence." After speaking, he turned around and smiled at Zhang Qing: "You want the child to have no grandfather." β
Looking at this hideous face, Zhang Qing finally understood that his feelings were also difficult to protect. The woman sitting on the side, Zhang Qing had seen it beside Chen Xie, and when she rubbed her hands, she gritted her teeth and said, "You name it." β
Chang Shiren turned to the officer who recorded and said: "Record, Zhang Qing, a patriotic businessman, donated 20 million silver yuan for the country, and shared the cost of grain, grass and ammunition for the Eastern Expeditionary Army. After saying this, he turned to Zhang Qing and said, "It's okay, you are still the speaker." (To be continued......)
