Chapter 290: The Strategy of the Wa Kingdom
On the sea outside the port of Hirado, the caravan that had been floating for several days still honestly accepted punishment one by one, no matter how much the merchants and stewards scolded in their hearts.
They also understood that this Qiongzhou Hou Jinghai General is a bastard, if he continues to drag on like this, he doesn't know what will happen!
The Li family's fleet has already made a baby appearance for everyone, and the chief steward who ordered to ignore the warning of the Qiongzhou regimental training and blatantly lead the fleet to leave, has already died on the cargo ship that was hit by a flying thunder cannon.
Now the Qiongzhou regiment has a record of 2,000 people defeating 100,000 coalition troops, all of whom are businessmen who run ships at sea to do business, and they have not had a few cameo pirate experiences, how can they dare to confront such a brave man head-on?
If you let you pay taxes, you have to pay taxes, and if you pay fines, you will pay fines, and it's not a big deal to be soft and admit for the time being, and it's not a shameful thing.
As for the future, except for the merchant ships of the Tang family, everyone needs to pay extremely heavy taxes and silver to and from the Wa Kingdom, so it will naturally be said in the future!
The Marquis of Qiongzhou thought about the things in this world simply, let's not talk about whether he can defeat the shogunate, even if he can really defeat the shogunate's army, even if he can really return to the emperor in the Wa Kingdom, but so what?
We are the merchants of the Great Yan Kingdom, and he is the Marquis of the Great Yan Kingdom, so the merits of the matter naturally have to be clearly explained in the court of the Great Yan Kingdom!
If you just show off your might, even if you find a way to pit some money, the big guy will grit his teeth and endure it, but if you want to collect taxes and silver privately in Qiongzhou Tuanlian, this matter will be a big deal.
Look at Concubine Chen's face, you Qiongzhou Hou is arrogant, the elders in the court may turn a blind eye, but you have to set a rule on this sea, every sea ship and every caravan must collect taxes and silver, not to mention Concubine Chen, even if it is a current official, he can't protect you!
These caravans, who had been trapped on the sea for several days and were finally allowed to enter Hirado Port to replenish food and fresh water, left Hirado Port in a hurry after having their tax collectors sent by Zhao Hengyi on board to count the goods, and after paying a certain amount of tax silver.
Some of the ships returned directly to the Great Yan Kingdom and brought back everything that had happened here.
There are also ships that go out to sea and go directly to other Japanese ports, and also bring everything that happens here to their colleagues in the Japanese country.
These people left in a hurry, and they didn't even care, those guys who boarded the ship to check the goods and collect taxes and silver were all subordinates of the newly promoted Hirado daimyo Iijima Ryuyan!
Just like Zhao Hengyi once said when he taught his disciple Tang Xiaosi, the name of righteousness cannot be lost at any time.
Your tax money was handed over to the Iijima family, what does it have to do with me, Zhao Hengyi, Marquis of Qiongzhou?
Things in the world are often like this, you can do it, but you can't say it, you have to find more flowers to cover when you do it, and in the future, someone will turn over old accounts, and there will be room for ripping.
And as a maritime merchant who is making money every day, he will definitely not be able to survive him Zhao Hengyi in the field of ripping!
didn't care at all about those maritime merchants doing things behind their backs, Zhao Hengyi and others came to the Tang family's fleet to transport ammunition, and there were also a thousand soldiers of the C-shaped battalion on board!
The Qiongzhou regimental training has always implemented a strict drill system, but in Sanya Bay, there are too few opportunities for actual combat, and it is an indispensable process to take turns to let each battalion get the opportunity to fight.
The shogunate, which was considered invincible by everyone, was just an object for his soldiers to train in the eyes of Zhao Hengyi!
Even in his plan, the Qiongzhou regimental training will inevitably be stationed in the Wa country for a long time, and here, the soldiers of the entire Qiongzhou regimental training will cultivate invincible self-confidence, and will experience the means to kill the enemy bravely!
Continuing to maintain the situation of coercion in the Japanese country will be the standing policy of Sanya Bay and Qiongzhou in the next few years!
In Cho Hyung-yi's plan, defeating the shogunate's army was never in doubt, what he needed to focus on, what he needed to manipulate, was how to maintain a delicate balance between confrontation and strife for the entire Wa Kingdom!
Even Zhao Hengyi has begun to make detailed arrangements for the distribution of interests occupied by various classes in the future of the Wa Kingdom, once all the plans are realized, when the time comes, the court of the Great Yan State will really be swayed by some people, and if they want to deal with him Zhao Hengyi, then the first one to jump out against it will be the Wa State!
Such an assumption seems incredible, but Zhao Hengyi has taken every step very steadily, and in his own deduction and evaluation, the probability of success is as high as seventy percent!
Along with the Tang family's fleet came an old friend Tang Ji, the chief steward who had deeply bound his net worth and life to Zhao Hengyi, and smiled bitterly as soon as they met.
"Master Hou, didn't we say before that we came to the Wa Kingdom to find gold and silver mountains? Why do you kill people as soon as you arrive in the Wa Kingdom? ”
Although Tang Ji always pays great attention to his words and deeds and his humility, but after staying with Zhao Hengyi for a long time, it is inevitable that he will follow his example and joke, "The fourth young master is worried at home, you, as a teacher, can't let students worry about you every day, right?" ”
Zhao Hengyi laughed and said nonchalantly: "This gold and silver mountain is a good thing, even if the people of the Japanese country are stupid, they will not take it out easily, they will always be afraid of them, and they will be obedient!"
Old Tang, come and see, now the whole Wa Kingdom is surging, all waiting for me to fight with the shogunate general, as long as we win this one, in the future, in the Wa Kingdom, don't say that it is a mountain of gold and silver, we want to take what we want!
Old Tang, your old lady's courage is really admirable!
Even if I'm in his position, I'm afraid I can't do it so neatly!
This matter of the Japanese kingdom is for the sake of my student, and it will definitely not disappoint your old lady! ”
"Master Hou is mighty!"
Tang Ji smiled and flattered, and then talked about the news that the Tang family's merchants scattered in various places inquired, "The Hou Ye is recuperating in Hirado City, but the shogun is not idle, and he will not mention the deployment of a large army near Gyeonggi for the time being, that is, on the surface of the East China Sea, the people of the shogunate are also attracting the Japanese pirates, presumably to beware of the Qiongzhou team taking the sea route to Beijing."
Our Tang family got the news that now in the open sea, the shogunate has gathered more than a dozen groups of pirates and pirates, even if the Hou Ye does not take the sea route, they will take the initiative to attack the port of Hirado! ”
"Are there traces of the Ten Ghost Sects among these pirates?"
Zhao Hengyi expected that the shogunate would gather pirates, and even if the shogunate didn't do so, he would be disappointed, after all, it was a very troublesome thing to exterminate the pirates scattered everywhere.
"I have never heard of the whereabouts of the Ten Ghost Sects, since Sanya Bay was defeated by Hou Ye, the Ten Sects of the Ghost Sect and the Rakshasa Remains under his command have disappeared."
Tang Ji's answer made Zhao Hengyi a little disappointed, the identity of the Ghost Fang Ten Divisions is special, and he can't be regarded as an ordinary pirate, this bastard didn't even think about taking the opportunity to take revenge, he is really cunning!
