Chapter 244: Surrender
Watching Isabella's ship go away, Wang Ying stood beside Yang Guang and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, don't you worry that she will fly away after taking the things, and the money will be gone!" ”
"If she's stupid enough to be that stupid, she's not qualified to continue working with me. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yang Guang explained with a smile: "With the Spaniards having an absolute advantage, she needs me as an ally and a safe haven. ”
"The reason why I indicated that the interest could be repaid with anything was to imply that she would not be able to get along with the Spaniards. With the firearms, we can plunder the Spanish ships and bring the goods to Long Island to sell the stolen goods. As for the price, I don't push it down too much, as long as I make sure that there is some profit that I don't lose money. ”
"Then big brother, why do you still have pricing power? If it is directly stated that it will be purchased at the market price, it will definitely make her grateful! Wang Ying asked puzzled.
"Because I'm going to control who she's plundering." Yang Guang spread his hands and said, "When I need her to deal with someone, I can adjust the object of her looting by raising the purchase price." ”
"I see!" Wang Ying nodded suddenly with realization: "It is indeed a very cost-effective deal to use some firearms that have not been sold out and are also lost in the treasury when they are taken back, in exchange for a force that clings to their own existence on the sea." ”
Then Wang Ying seemed to be inspired, and said with excitement: "Then can we do the same in the future?" Those maritime powers close to us have unwittingly become our vassals by providing arms to buy goods. ”
"Those who are good at force cannot be defeated, and those who are good at intelligence cannot die." Yang Guang said a little off-topic: "To subdue others by force, you must win one after another, as long as he loses a battle, it is likely to be the result of the collapse of the whole line, because the invincible image he painstakingly built has been broken, and the people who were afraid of him before also have the courage to challenge him." ”
"Think about Xiang Yu back then, how many times did the invincible Overlord of Chu defeat Liu Bang? But after the defeat in the battle of Qixia, even he himself could not accept this fact and killed Wujiang himself. In fact, if Xiang Yu returned to Jiangdong at that time, with the strength of his hometown, he would still have a chance to make a comeback. ”
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit! The ancient sages have already told us the way, and the temptation to take advantage can make the vassals willing to be used by us, why force them with swords and firearms? Of course, the premise of all this is that we have enough power to protect ourselves, otherwise we can only marry others. ”
I don't know if it's "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Just as Yang Guang and Wang Ying were talking about this, a ship appeared on the sea in the distance and soon docked at the pier of Long Island Port.
The guards on the dock went up to negotiate, and it didn't take long to report the situation of the visitor to Yang Guang, Yang Guang couldn't help but rub his nose, he didn't expect these things to rush together, just sent Isabella away, and a Japanese came to ask for attachment.
"In the Lower Nine Ghost Jialong, meet your lord!" The Japanese samurai, who was dressed a little tattered and had a childish face, knelt in front of Yang Guang and said loudly: "I am the head of the Shima Nine Ghost Family, and this time I came here in the hope that I can serve the adults!" ”
"Nine Ghost Family?" Yang Guang repeated the name in his heart, vaguely feeling that it seemed to be a little impressed, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Why?" You can choose Oda Nobunaga or Takeda Shingen, why choose a Ming country merchant? ”
Nine Ghost Jialong is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is a high school student in modern time and space, but in the troubled times of Japan's Warring States, he became the head of the family early and had to work hard for the continuation of the family.
After hearing Yang Guang's question, Nine Ghost Jialong said without much thought: "Whether it is the Oda family or the Takeda family, they are too powerful for the down-and-out Nine Ghost Family, when will I have my first day?" On the other hand, if I am attached to your command, I will be able to use it if I prove my loyalty! In the past, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to reject Yuan Shao and take refuge in Cao Cao, which is because of this. ”
Listening to the nine ghosts Jialong mention the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yang Guang couldn't help laughing, this romance story written by a novelist in the Ming Dynasty was regarded by the Japanese as an excellent book on the art of war, and ordinary people could not access it at all. Nine Ghost Jialong was able to casually say the contents of it, and he should have read it in the morning, which showed his martial arts identity.
As for whether it is "talking on paper", although there are Zhao Kuo who buried 400,000 Zhao soldiers in history, there are also Huang Taiji's counter-plots, and the key is to see whether theory can be linked to practice. So Yang Guang then asked the second question: "What are you good at?" ”
The Nine Ghosts replied, "The Nine Ghosts were once subordinate to the Kumano Naval Army, and in their heyday, they fought against the naval forces of Kyushu to seize the dominance of foreign trade. Unfortunately, later on the Kyushu side, there was a Ming merchant Gomine ship owner, and the Franc machine musket was introduced, and the Kumano naval army withered after successive defeats, so that it could only rely on the Kitabatake family to barely survive. ”
"The Kitabatake family always wants to annex the Kumano Water Army, and several other heads of the family are forced to agree to the situation, although the Nine Ghost family is weak, they will not let them do it, and they have to escape from the territory and wander outside. Later, the adults bombarded Toba Castle and destroyed the Kitabatake family's navy, and also lost the Kumano navy that was attached to the Kitabatake family, and this is the day when our nine ghost families came out. ”
"The Shimo's family has been boating for generations, and they are familiar with the sea, can build ships, and know the many routes in Japan. If you can be accepted by adults, I am willing to die for adults! I just want to pass on the family name of the nine ghosts! When the Nine Ghosts said this, he put his hands in front of him, slammed his head on the floor, and waited for the verdict of the family's fate in the most respectful and humble posture.
Japan is very interested in the inheritance of the family, and in order not to be swallowed up by others and lose this inheritance, the nine ghosts Jialong did not hesitate to flee with his clansmen. You must know that a warrior without a territory is no different from a grass without roots, and no one will look down on this kind of ronin. Given the opportunity, this ronin will re-become a samurai at any cost, serving a daimyo in order to regain a fief and continue to pass on the family lineage.
"I don't have a territory for you right now." Yang Guang had already made a decision in his heart, but before that, there were some things that he still had to say clearly, so that the Nine Ghosts Jialong would complain in his heart in the future, so that it would be unfavorable to do things.
"The Nine Ghost Families are not eligible to receive a reward from the adults now!" Nine Ghost Jialong replied in a proper manner.
"You'll have it!" Yang Guang's tone was very flat, but in the heart of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, it was no less than the sound of heaven.
"Nine Ghost Jialong, meet the lord!" Nine Ghost Jialong said loudly in an excited tone. (To be continued.) )
