0151 The Short Water War (1st Shift)
Enemy attack? Li Guang was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "It's not me, you must believe me." ”
Jin Rushan stared at his eyes tightly, nodded slowly, and said, "I want to believe you, if it were you, you wouldn't have the courage to get on the boat." But this matter must be inseparable from you. ”
Li Guangdao: "I was really wronged. ”
Jin Rushan waved his hand to stop him and said, "Whether it has anything to do with it will be known immediately." ”
At this time, one of his subordinates came in to report the situation: "Big treasurer, five miles away, we found the Baekje Sailor warship, which is heading towards us at full speed. ”
Li Guang's face suddenly turned dead, he had already guessed what was happening, and the chief had been sending people to monitor him.
Jin Rushan glanced at him, then turned back to the subordinate and said, "Leave it to Commander Wang, he is better at handling this kind of thing than me." ”
The commander of the king he said was Wang An, the commander of the naval division, who was responsible for guarding the safety of the caravan this time.
Waiting for the next person to withdraw, Jin Rushan said lightly: "Shopkeeper Li, let's go out and have a look together." ”
"Yes, yes, please." At this time, Li Guang was already frightened, and he dared to refuse, and he was busy.
When I came to the deck, I saw countless sturdy sailors busy, anchoring, sailing, and groups of soldiers armed with weapons and bows appeared......
This is a caravan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are elite sailors.
At this time, Li Guang was already convinced that the other party was at least a big nobleman in the Tang Kingdom, and he could also be a general who guarded one side.
No wonder the strength is so strong, no wonder it dares to sell grain.
However, as a maritime merchant, he quickly discovered the differences in this ship, such as the speed at which the sails were hoisted too fast.
The sails of a fifteen-zhang ship are so huge that they can't be raised at all without dozens of people.
However, it took less than ten people for these Tang people to easily raise the sails to the top, and it took no more than a cup of tea.
How did they do it? Could it be that each one is a strong man with a thousand pounds in his arms?
Normally, such a large ship would not have been able to run without half an hour of preparation, but now the hull of the ship is moving in less than a quarter of an hour.
When the Baekje warships appeared on the water in the distance, the fleet had already begun to pick up speed.
But seeing fifty or sixty warships sailing in the distance, the last bit of luck in Li Guang's heart disappeared, and he was followed.
The Tang people can run, and his Li Guang's roots are in Baekje.
At this moment, his heart was like ashes.
However, just when he thought that the Tang people were going to run, he heard a loud voice shouting: "Order, seize the upper hand." ”
Then one man began to wave the flag in his hand, and then all the boats began to change direction.
"It's ...... Command a warship with a flag? Terrible. Even in the face of danger, Li Guang still thought subconsciously.
But immediately he reacted: "Grab the upper hand? What do these Tang people want to do? You can't fight back, right? ”
He was taken aback by his own thoughts, this place was close to the Baekje Sea.
And there are obviously more ships in Baekje, what the hell do these Tang people think? Are they really not afraid of death?
Soon he knew that the Tang people were not afraid of death, but had the qualifications to be confident.
Under the command of that loud voice, these dozen ships successfully seized the upper hand.
Then Li Guang found that the ship of the Tang people was walking at a forty-five degree angle against the wind, and the speed did not decrease at all.
His eyes were about to pop out when he saw this scene.
You must know that the boats of this era can only walk with the wind, even the crosswind cannot borrow strength, and the boats of the Tang people can actually walk against the wind.
Incredible, incredible.
Soon he discovered the secret, the sails, the sails of the Tang people could be adjusted.
As a maritime merchant, he couldn't help but be shocked by the technology of the Tang people again.
It's amazing.
At the same time, he also understood the confidence of the Tang people.
Sure enough, the Tang army took advantage of the ship's mobility to keep going around in circles and turning the Baekje warship around.
Moreover, they were always in the upper hand, and the arrows of the Baekje could not attack them, while their bows and arrows could easily reach the opposing ship.
Li Guang felt happy when he saw it, and he felt aggrieved for the Baekje sailors.
On the warship of Baekje, the atmosphere was heavy and terrible at this time.
Baekje City Minister Shi Shaai's face was gloomy: "General Mu, is this what you said can be broken with a snap of your fingers?" ”
Mu Lie's face was even worse, he thought it was a brilliant opportunity, but he didn't expect to be embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.
He could see that the other side was playing tricks on him, otherwise he wouldn't have just released a few arrows sporadically, but a rain of arrows and even rockets.
But the more this happened, the more angry he became, and he wanted to run to the opposite boat and stab all the people who played him to death.
But he knew it was even more unlikely.
Sha Ai didn't dare to offend the other side too hard, and said, "Why don't you try to divide the troops and surround them?" ”
Mu Lie said: "The opponent's ships are faster and more flexible, once they divide their forces, they will be broken by each one, and only by gathering together can they protect themselves." ”
Sha Ai didn't know the art of war, and when he saw that Mu Lie was talking about the Tao, he didn't dare to give opinions at will. Otherwise, in the event of defeat, all the responsibility will be your own.
"Stop the pursuit, send someone to negotiate with the other side."
Mu Lie said without a head or a tail: "The other side is by no means an ordinary businessman. ”
Shaai knew what he was thinking, and said, "I know, ordinary businessmen don't have the guts to do this. But no matter who the other party is, as long as he is willing to sell us food. ”
"Today we are not here to fight, but to talk about business, let's collect troops."
With the steps, Mu Lie ordered to stop the pursuit and sent a speedboat to negotiate with the other party.
Wang An saw that the other party stopped, with a disdainful expression on his face, and also ordered to slow down. As for the negotiations, it was naturally handed over to Jin Rushan to be responsible.
The two sides exchanged air-to-air battles through messengers.
Sha Ai invited Jin Rushan to their ship to negotiate, and Jin Rushan naturally would not fall into the tiger's mouth, and invited the other party in turn.
Shaai didn't dare to come easily, so the two sides met alone on the sea in a small boat.
Jin Rushan refused without hesitation, either come over to talk or go, don't grind.
Sha Aiqi's face turned blue, he himself was one of the eight surnames of Baekje, and he was born a nobleman, how could he have suffered such anger.
But there is no way to let their country lack food. The key is that they are still losers in the battle just now, and their waists are really not hard.
Thinking of this, he drenched the dog's head scolded by Mu Lie in his heart, and when he came, he swore that he could teach the other party a profound lesson and let them take the absolute initiative in the negotiation.
What now...... How did such a waste appear among the aristocracy.
Cursing in his heart, he still had to pinch his nose and board the other party's ship, and he was greeted by the cold gaze of hundreds of heavily armed soldiers.
He knew that the other party was deliberately setting up the score, so he could only pretend not to see it.
Entering the cabin, Li Guang quickly got up and saluted him, with a very humble attitude. Jin Rushan sat in his place with a golden knife, and he didn't mean to get up at all.
Sha Ai also adjusted his mentality and entered the role, trying to take the initiative in words: "I heard that the Tang Kingdom regarded itself as a remnant of the Han Dynasty, and I thought you were people who understood etiquette and etiquette, but I didn't expect ......"
He shook his head at this, sarcastic in his words.
Jin Rushan said lightly: "Put away your set of tricks, I, the Tang people, have been taught a truth since I was a child, what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table." ”
Sha Ai's expression froze, and his face was a little unbearable, and he subconsciously wanted to pick up the water glass on the table to relieve the embarrassment.
When the cup was lifted, he found that it was actually a transparent glass cup, and his hand shook and he almost didn't hold it steady and dropped the cup.
I looked left and right, and my eyes were spent...... He was even a little red-eyed, what a luxury this was, he was sure that the king of Baekje did not have the luxury of the other party.
Taking advantage of his shock, Jin Rushan said: "Sha Changshi, let's open the skylight and say something." ”
"I know you want food, and my lord's hands are piled up with food, even if it is a million. But the question is, what can you get in exchange? ”
"Gold, jewelry, leather goods." Shaai blurted out.
After saying that, he regretted it, the old man leaked too quickly.
"Haha......" Jin Rushan pointed to the glass cup in his hand, and then pointed to the porcelain in the room, and laughed: "Do you think we lack these things?" ”
Sha Ai retorted: "No one thinks that you have a lot of money, right, besides, aren't you trading with Li Guang for money?" ”
Jin Rushan shook his head and said: "It's different, what we are going to do with Shopkeeper Li is porcelain and glaze, and what you want is food." ”
Shaai was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want?" ”
Jin Rushan said: "I don't know." ”
"No...... I don't know? Sha Ai thought that he would be blackmailed, but he didn't expect the other party to give such an answer.
Thinking of the rumors about Tang Guo, and then thinking about what happened to him today, he couldn't help but have a thought, is there something wrong with their brains?
Jin Rushan spread his hands and said: "This time I am here to talk to Shopkeeper Li about the porcelain, glass and salt business, who knows that you will kill it halfway." ”
"If you are also here to buy these goods, I can give you some evenly, and it is no problem to trade in gold, jewelry, and leather goods."
"But whether you want to buy grain, or a large amount of grain, this kind of thing is not something that I can make as a shopkeeper, and I must ask the head of the house."
This was a pure lie, and he had no idea of trading grain at all.
Any million grains are bragging, and there is a surplus of grain in the Tang Kingdom, but it is a surplus based on a small number of people.
There are very few that can actually be traded.
After a while, he replied to Sha Ai, saying that the head of the Yan family, who was investigated in China, did not want to take this risk and had no intention of trading grain for the time being.
Perfect.
Sha Ai was relieved that if this shopkeeper could decide on a large grain transaction, he would not believe it.
After telling the other party to make a decision as soon as possible, he hit the idea on porcelain and glassware.
"Shopkeeper Jin, if you want to do porcelain and glazed business, you can come to us, we can eat as many goods as you want."
