Chapter 632: Selling Life Money

The position of the general who came to Luo Delai is completely different from the canonization of the Ming Dynasty. These feudal clans in Japan, their understanding is that the Ming Dynasty cannot afford to provoke them, that is, Tokugawa Iemitsu, a national thief, wants to replace the emperor. I can't bear this!

I knew that this would be the case, and Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't bother to have any crooked thoughts, this was all the courage given to him by Chen Xie's guns. Now this courage, it seems that others have it, and it threatens his status, how much do you care about it at this time? Do you think he doesn't know where the weapons of the other domains come from? You know, the problem is that he is a Japanese general, and there is a canonization of the Ming Dynasty, do you think that when the Ming people are busy making money in the concession, can they take care of your life and death?

Iwami Silver Mountain is good, but it also takes time to mine. The continuous spending of a lot of money has almost tossed up the little money of Tokugawa Iemitsu, which will make him use money to buy weapons, which he can't come up with. Don't you see, during the Meiji period, the Japanese emperor took the lead in donating money to the navy to buy warships? This country is just one word, poor! After the Meiji era, Japan was able to rise up, that is, to catch up with the "I Daqing" group of royal families who only cared about their own interests and regarded themselves as outsiders. Otherwise, with the national strength of the Qing Dynasty at that time, during the Nagasaki incident, Dingyuan Zhenyuan would have been able to bombard Yaya.

Chen Xie wants to make money, and he won't watch the Tokugawa family finish, and said very boldly: "The mortgage is too outward, forget it, I will give you credit for this batch of weapons." A total of 5,000 new rifles and 50 cannons. The price is the same as that of North Korea, and there are two other big boats, and I will give you credit. But this money, you have to send someone to follow me to India, there is gold everywhere, let's go get some and spend it together. ”

Chen Xie is this again, this time he is running for the samurai class in Japan. Millions of Japanese samurai, it doesn't matter if you get a dozen or two hundred thousand to go to India, or Nanyang, anyway, you just go to exchange your life for money. These people are different from ordinary Japanese, they have a relatively strong national feeling. So. They are the lives of cannon fodder, a small number can be assimilated, and most cannot.

The Tokugawa family was overjoyed, and immediately said that he could sign a peace treaty now, and he couldn't care about things like losing power and humiliating the country. However, as for this peace treaty, it is literally impossible to see the Ming Dynasty's intentions against Japan. Triple Alliance, common defense, own trade circle. No matter how you look at it, this is a very equal thing. Actually? If you look at modern history, you will know that when the United States imperialism was not yet strong, it shouted all over the world all day long, "open door, free trade", and you see who pays attention to him? Chen Xie's this, it's also an open door policy in disguise, if you have your own trade, you have to be competitive. What does Japan have to compete with? There is wood! Why did the British Empire risk an expedition to fight an opium war? Do you think it's really for the opium and chip trade? It's so naïve. The real essence is the market, and opium and chips are smuggling. It's not a serious business in the UK. A large amount of British industrial products needed a market, and that was the essence of the war.

Since you don't have to fight, why let go of the benefits that you can get by flickering? When the salt eaten by the Japanese has to be imported from the Ming Dynasty, what threat do you think this country can have?

After signing the peace treaty, Chen Xie said with a smile on his face: "General Tokugawa." From today onwards, you are allies. As an ally, I have a small gift for you. After saying that, Chen Xie came out of the house, stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Bring things up." The soldier came out carrying four boxes, and when he opened them, he revealed the rocket launchers and rockets inside.

"This thing. It's called Chen's rocket, remember the burning of Edo? That's it, I was so embarrassed at the time, so I'll give you a thousand pieces as equipment for housekeeping. "Chen Xie is really generous, the goods on credit, the silver has to be returned. Tokugawa Iemitsu was saddled with a debt of one million silver yuan, and he had to recruit a thousand samurai to go to India to rob.

How can this money be repaid? After deducting the fees of these samurai, the rest of the money is Chen Xie's. It is estimated that if you grab it for ten or eight years over there, this account will be able to be repaid. It is not known how many of these Japanese samurai will come back alive and how many will devote themselves to the great business of repaying debts.

To say that this interest is really not high, five cents of interest a year, conscience price. But if you look at it from another angle, this money will be deducted from interest before it reaches Tokugawa Iemitsu's hands. The actual amount of money that was received was only 950,000. You have to pay for weapons and ships, and you have to recruit samurai and give them their lives.

For a poor country like Japan, robbery is really not a good way, so you have to play with their IQ and philosophy.

Chen Xie has always been extremely "generous", and even more so to "friendly countries". Just as Japan lent money to Sheng Xuanhuai for the Hanyang Iron Works in history, Chen Xie also lent money to Tokugawa Iemitsu for the "friend" of the shogunate. Oh, by the way, Japan also lent money to Sun Cannon to lease Manchuria for ninety-nine years. If it hadn't been for the Great Powers, this might have happened.

Tokugawa Iemitsu left the money purchased, took the rest of the money, and left satisfied. Chen Xie was also very satisfied, looked at the two ninjas kneeling in front of him, and looked at them curiously before saying, "Take off your mask." ”

The two women were able to understand the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and after taking off their masks, they revealed their immature faces, which were not too big at first glance, no more than sixteen years old. This Tokugawa Ieguang is really a beast, this is forcing Lao Tzu to be Loli Control.

"Are you really ninjas?" Chen Xie asked again, with one hand in his pocket, he pinched the pistol, and the safety was opened.

"We are Nakashinobi and have been training since they were four years old, my name is Kiko and her name is Etsuko. I would like to ask for your continued concern. The two female ninjas were facing the sky and did not rub a thick layer of powder on their faces, which Chen Xie was still very satisfied with. Speaking of looks, it's naturally not a role, but it's definitely a more outstanding level. There is also this Da Ming's words, which are more difficult to understand.

"Don't dress like this in the future, you usually dress up as a maid, by the way, how old are you?" Chen Xie still decided to determine his age, and the Xizi who spoke said: "The villain is fifteen years old, and Yuezi is fourteen years old." In the future, I will obey the master's orders, and ask the master to punish us at will if he is dissatisfied, but don't drive us away. ”

Chen Xie felt that there was something hidden here, but if you think about it carefully, it's about me. "Well, so be it. You go down and change your clothes, this dress doesn't look good. ”

Before dark, another visitor came, brought in by Su Haochen. Chen Xie sat on the chair and looked arrogantly at the person who came in, a Japanese man in his forties, dressed as a literati, and knelt on the ground after coming in: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Senator Fujiwara Kiyoshi, I have seen Your Excellency Lord Shangguo." The Ming Emperor lived a long life, and the Lord of the Kingdom lived a long life. ”

This living Ming official said very well, the Japanese minister, when it came to the period of victory, it was extremely bleak. Many people have gone to mess with the samurai, and those who remain with the emperor are either out of luck or die-hard. This guy should be a die-hard one. Otherwise, how could he have the courage to come to see Chen Xie, who had just signed a peace treaty with Tokugawa.

"Your courage is really not small, aren't you afraid that I will tie you up and give it to Tokugawa Iemitsu?" Chen Xie smiled after speaking.

Fujiwara Kiyoshi said very calmly: "The kingdom of God is not here for the land of Japan, but for the old grudges of the past. Otherwise, with the current national strength of the above countries, Japan will not be far away. The people of Shangguo do business in Japan, and the ministers come here for a deal. ”

This guy is very good at talking, and Chen Xie feels that this product has a set when he listens to it. immediately put away his smile and said coldly: "Trading? How much silver do you give? You should know better than me what the Japanese ministers are like. Don't look at the fact that there is a samurai family supporting the emperor now, and after just a few full meals, you want to come to me to take advantage of your tongue? I don't know what to do! Come on, drag them out. ”

"My lord, my lord, please listen to the ministers say a few words, and if you finish speaking, you will kill or chop, as you like." The two soldiers came in and dragged Fujiwara Qing away, and the goods hurriedly shouted, and Chen Xie raised his hand and said, "Okay." It doesn't hurt for me to listen to you. ”

"I have long heard that Lord Shangguo is expanding the territory in the South Seas, and Japan has nothing else, and there are samurai who are willing to work hard. As long as the lord agrees to sell a weapon to the feudal clans, they are willing to send people to fight for the lordship. As for the silver, it is not a small amount of the adult's. If your lord has come to buy and sell to earn money, whose money is not silver? Fujiwara Kiyoshi said something quite neatly, and his face was normal, indicating that he had been prepared for a long time, and it was very sufficient.

Chen Xie looked at him silently, waved his hand, and motioned for the others to retreat, and when there were only two people left, Chen Xie said: "I have no intention of interfering in Japan's internal affairs, and Japan, a poor place, has nothing worth my energy." I hope you understand that. Arms can be sold to you, but they are not cheap, you can pay for them in full. By the way, when you walk out of this door, I won't admit it, how did you buy weapons before, and how do you buy them now. As for your manpower, you can go to the concession to find a job by yourself, and I will give them a satisfactory amount of money. ”

How did you buy it before? Fujiwara Kiyoshi felt that the egg hurt, and he bought it from those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It's all some smoothbore guns, or used old goods. At this price, it is not cheap, it is one or two percent more expensive than the price purchased by the shogunate. Even at this price, these weapons are not easy to get, they are bought by dozens of dozens, and little by little they have been saved for more than a year, and only then have they saved more than 2,000 smoothbore guns.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is forming a crusade team, and he wants to raise the king's division to beg for his ministers, hum. It's all burning eyebrows, where can I take care of so much. It's important to get the guy quickly, or it'll be over, and the emperor will never come out. (To be continued......)
