Emma, Sara, and Hattori Chizuru all looked at Zhao Hongyu with curiosity.

They were very puzzled and didn't understand at all, why was this guy named Li Xiang so useful to Zhao Hongyu?

Looking at the puzzled three girls, Zhao Hongyu decided to explain it to them well.

"It seems that the three of you don't understand it at all, so I'll have to explain it to you." , Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said helplessly.

"Yes, we also want to know what this guy is useful for my dear." , Emma immediately responded.

Sara and Chizuru Hattori also said that this was indeed the case.

"Hey." , Zhao Hongyu smiled, "This is the East, we are not very familiar with everything here, right?" ”

Emma and Sara glanced at each other, then nodded at Zhao Hongyu.

"There is nothing wrong with the fleet under my command that is indeed very powerful, but in a relatively unfamiliar sea, we actually have a certain disadvantage." , Zhao Hongyu continued. "For example, some of the whirlpools in this area, the reef beach and other dangerous places, we don't know anything about it. But the pirate named Li Xiang, he knew it very well. ”

"And this Li Xiang has been famous in the East for many years, since he can have the name of Sea Dragon King, it can be seen that this guy is not in vain. There must be some means to have such a reputation. ”

Zhao Hongyu paused here when he said this, and then looked at the third girl.

He found that the three girls were staring at him, quietly.

Subsequently, he continued: "And the countries in the East, presumably Li Xiang has been in contact with them, Goryeo, the Wa Kingdom, Southeast Asia and the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that he must have some connections. And if we want to gain a foothold in the East, it is this kind of relationship that is missing. ”

Zhao Hongyu sighed slightly: "Don't look at us now that we have occupied Kyushu. But we are still very new to the East. Even for those on the eastern side, we are invaders from a distant land, so acting on the eastern side will certainly be subject to some troubles and difficulties. Although we have strong force, we can't solve everything by force. ”

After speaking, he looked at the third girl, and his expression became serious.

"So, a guy like Li Xiang who has a wide range of connections and can relate to anyone is the talent we need." , Zhao Hongyu's last sentence. Very seriously.

Emma and Hattori Chizuru didn't know much about this kind of thing, so they listened a little ignorantly. After all, Sara was a noblewoman in Europe, so after hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, she immediately understood Zhao Hongyu's thoughts.

Not really.

As Zhao Hongyu said, they don't look at it as having already occupied Kyushu and have a territory here in the east as a base. But for the East, in fact, they don't know much at all, and they can even say that they don't understand anything at all.

Moreover, because of their actions on the side of the Wa Kingdom. It's hard to be afraid of the countries of the East.

The name of the intruder is extremely unfavorable to them.

But, looking at their behavior on the side of the Wa Kingdom, it seems that they really coped with this title.

So. In the future, if they want to act on the eastern side, there will definitely be some trouble.

At the same time, because they are outsiders, they are not familiar with the customs of the East at all. Even if you want to do something or something. I couldn't find a way either.

Even, because you don't understand the local customs, you will offend some denials and make things impossible at all.

So, ah. Guys like Li Xiang are a little important to them.

Just like Zhao Hongyu said, Li Xiang has been a pirate in this sea area of the East for more than 30 years.

Come to think of it, this guy named Li Xiang must have a lot of relationships here in the East.

After all, Li Xiang is a pirate, no matter how majestic he is. But the things he looted had to be cashed out for gold and silver, so he had to have a network that could help him do that.

Otherwise, there is no point in being a pirate.

At the same time, Li Xiang will also provide some protection services for maritime merchants from various countries. The premise is that the other party pays a considerable fee, otherwise this kind of maritime merchant is definitely the target of robbery.

In this era, the maritime merchants in the East basically have a big background behind them.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to do maritime business in the eastern seas.

Li Xiang has been in contact with these people for a long time, so how can there be a few people who have a very good relationship. In this way, you can get to know the bigwigs behind these maritime merchants, and if the two sides can reach some agreements related to interests, Li Xiang will be even more able to be like a fish in water.

And judging from the fact that Li Xiang can break into such a big name, I think he must have a relationship in this regard.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a big name.

Although he is down now, you can't deny that he can't have those relationships in his hands.

And Li Xiang's network is very important to Zhao Hongyu.

Because this can save him a lot of detours and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.

You must know that Zhao Hongyu came to the East, but he had to do a very important thing, that is, immigration.

At the same time, he needs a large number of immigrants.

Ordinary people can't call the shots about things like this, so they need the strength of the East to come forward.

But the question is, where does Zhao Hongyu know the powerful faction in the East.

Even if he can slowly reach out and find useful people in real power, how long will it take?

After all, time is very important to Zhao Hongyu.

What is lacking in the Americas now is the population, although Zhao Hongyu has a cheating device against the sky, but the genetic people made here by the cheating device are expensive, not to mention, it must be guaranteed to be a population of Chinese descent.

Only in this way can he avoid some unstable turmoil in the empire he has built.

Maintaining the majority of the Chinese population requires strict enforcement.

Therefore, it is not enough to use the cultivated gene human population to supplement the empire. Zhao Hongyu had to find another way.

Come to think of it, what else in this era can meet the needs of the Song Empire for population, without conflicting with Zhao Hongyu's rule that he needs Chinese descent?

If you look at it this way, there is only the Ming Dynasty in the East.

Because in the Ming Dynasty on the eastern side, there was a large population. And because of natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years, there were many displaced people and bankrupts in the Ming Dynasty, who greatly affected the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, if Zhao Hongyu wants to immigrate from the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult.

But if you can get in touch with some real power figures. It's a very difficult thing to do, but it's going to be easy.

Emma and Hattori Chizuru didn't understand this, but as a European noblewoman, how could Sara not understand after listening to Zhao Hongyu's words.

As a European noblewoman, Sara was generally aware of some of the key issues and steps in this operation. Because whether it is the East or the West, the people in power are basically like this.

Matchmaking, and then giving some benefits, and everything will fall into place.

But if you are blind everywhere, then you will spend money in vain. It doesn't always work out yet.

Therefore, a person like Li Xiang with a strong network has become very important to Zhao Hongyu.

In fact, the third daughter knew that Zhao Hongyu said that Li Xiang was so important. It's just something he made up.

As a Huaxia from another time and space, how could he not know the rules of Huaxia.

Don't talk about the Ming Dynasty, he even knows the rules of earlier dynasties.

The reason why he said this was just to give an explanation. Let the three girls be satisfied.

Doesn't he know that in the Ming Dynasty, he has to give silver, and when he is looking for someone to do things, he has to find someone with real power.

No, he knows everything.

But anyway. With Li Xiang's refuge and guidance, he can indeed be targeted.

At least, after going to the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Hongyu can find accurate targets and start contact, and at the same time carry out a silver bullet offensive.

"Yes, it seems that this guy is really useful." , Sara nodded and began to agree with Zhao Hongyu. Emma and Chizuru Hattori turned to look at Sara, who couldn't stop nodding, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Although they listened to Zhao Hongyu's explanation just now, the two of them still couldn't understand what use a pirate and a guy known as a good dragon king could be.

It's understandable that Emma doesn't understand, after all, she's an Indian.

In the notion of the Indians on the American continent, there was no such thing as a twist and turn.

Especially in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, where there are many rules in doing things, and even some rules, there will be more things that Emma doesn't understand.

This is a difference in thinking and a generation gap, and it has nothing to do with Emma herself.

Don't look at her following Zhao Hongyu for most of the world, but the little girl's cognition is still not enough.

As for Hattori Chizuru, it's even simpler, she's a ninja, yes, but her previous life was spent in hiding and killing, and it's impossible to learn this knowledge at all.

All she knew was some murderous technique.

Only Sarah, a woman who is a nobleman in Europe, can understand Zhao Hongyu's plans.

Looking at the two girls who were looking at her curiously, Sara felt that she should explain it for her husband.

My husband's explanation is very general, so the two girls may not understand it very well. If that's the case, then I'll explain it more clearly.

Sara then chatted with Emma and Chizuru Hattori.

And the three girls chatted, but Zhao Hongyu was left aside.

Regarding this situation, Zhao Hongyu is also happy to relax.

After all, the explanation I gave just now really cost me a lot of my brain cells. Now that Sara is willing to take over this burden, it is too late for Zhao Hongyu to be happy.

Time passed minute by minute, and after Sara explained to Emma and Hattori Chizuru, the two girls finally understood Zhao Hongyu's plan and where the demand for Li Xiang was.

And Li Xiang also took his nephew and three Ming-style warships into the waters of Nagasaki.

"Someone, prepare the horses! I'm heading to the docks! ”

Zhao Hongyu, who was about the same time, left Emma and Sara in the residence, and he himself left the residence with Hattori Chizuru and a group of guards, preparing to go to the dock to meet Li Xiang.

I have sat down all the things I should have done now, and even went to the dock in person, which can be regarded as giving Li Xiang face.

If this guy is still messing with himself or something, then he won't be used to him.

Zhao Hongyu, who rode on his own war horse and sat on it and began to ride his horse in the direction of the dock, kept thinking secretly in the bumps.

Yes, it's enough to do it yourself now.

You must know that Lu Dao, his current identity is the crown prince of a country, and the heir of a great empire in the future. The Ming Dynasty placed in the east, that is the person who will be the emperor in the future.

And what about Li Xiang?

He's just a pirate.

According to Hattori Chizuru, it was a pirate.

It is an existence that does not enter the stream, Zhao Hongyu gives him face like this, if Li Xiang is still not interested, then he will not be able to bear it.

Zhao Hongyu doesn't have so much leisure and patience to consume him.

In short, this time they met, if Li Xiang couldn't talk to him. Then Zhao Hongyu is not going to talk about it here, after all, although Li Xiang's network is useful, Zhao Hongyu is too lazy to bother and think about it.

For Zhao Hongyu, a local tyrant like today, to get some craft silver from the virtual world to make silver bullets, he doesn't believe that he can't find some useful people when he goes to the Ming Dynasty?

The effect of sugar-coated cannonballs, not to mention this time in ancient times, is very powerful even in the 21st century. I don't know how many officials have been corrupted by the Dao, let alone this seventeenth-century official.

When the time comes, silver and beautiful women go hand in hand, and he doesn't believe that he can't handle these people.

There is a lot of silver Zhao Hongyu, and one or two pieces of silver in the virtual world world are only twenty yuan in this era, even if they are sixteen digits.

He fully afforded it, and more than enough.

As for the beauties, it's even better to say, just pick some soft girls here and dress them up. This is not difficult at all, who let Zhao Hongyu control Kyushu now.

If the bigwigs over there in the Ming Dynasty have a heavy taste, then it would be good to get some blonde hair or black women, which is not difficult for Zhao Hongyu.

In his fleet, there are many women from Europe, America, the Arab world, and Africa, and there are many such maids around Emma and Sarah.

With such a thought, Zhao Hongyu and a group of guards came to the dock.

And when he arrived at the dock, three Ming-style warships flying the big flag of 'Li' also appeared in the distance.

"Yo, I didn't expect that Li Xiang's emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. He also has a Ming-style warship in his hand, which surprised me. ”

Standing here at the dock, Zhao Hongyu picked up the monocular in his hand and looked at it very carefully.

He looked at the three Ming-style warships with admiration.

This kind of warship is an absolute antique in modern times...... (To be continued......)
