Chapter 146: Qi Jiguang: Annihilate the Invincible Armada of the Franc Machine! (5k request!) )
Luxurious cabins with carved railings.
Its luxury, even the dishes and chopsticks on the table are made of pure gold and silver, and the main thing is a sense of dignity.
If you don't say that this is a pirate cabin, you think it is a palace.
'Buying and selling? ’
The moment he heard these two words, the bewildered Wang Zhi reacted instantly.
He is also a generation of One Piece in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and in terms of personal courage alone, Wang Zhi's courage is definitely one of the best in the world.
Otherwise, it would not have taken only ten years to go from a horse boy who had just gone to the sea to work for others to the current One Piece.
I took a breath and calmed down.
'How did this Emperor Jiajing come to my ship?' ’
'Why did Qi Jiguang call this strange person an immortal master? ’
'Immortal Master? Isn't it really a fairy? ’
"No, this Hu Zongxian has always been deceitful, could it be that someone who is deliberately looking for me is deliberately deceiving me?" ’
Wang Zhi thought quickly in his mind, if he believed it so easily, he would not be Wang Zhi.
However, on second thought.
No, this is my ship, and it is impossible for anyone to touch it quietly, let alone enter the main cabin. ’
To be on the safe side.
Boss Wang has always been extremely secretive about the ship he is on.
In the entire fleet, there are nine ships that are exactly the same as Wang Zhi's appearance, and outsiders can't tell which one is where Boss Wang is.
And all the entrances and exits of the ship are guarded by younger brothers with guns, and there is no possibility of sneaking up.
Just when Boss Wang was thinking about his little Jiujiu in his heart.
Jiajing Immortal glanced at Hu Zongxian.
"Hu Zongxian, is there something wrong with your brain?"
The kneeling Lao Hu instantly chuckled in his heart and hurriedly kowtowed.
After all, even if the pirates bribed themselves and were caught by the emperor on the spot, even if they were confiscated, as an official of the imperial court, they colluded with the pirates to drink and have fun.
It is absolutely no exaggeration to give yourself a suicide.
"Minister, ten thousand deaths!"
"The minister dares to ask His Majesty to be clear, but the minister will not dare to accept the silver of this thief!"
"The whole Zhizhejiang knows that the minister Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi, the thief, are incompatible, and they came here to attend the banquet today to find out the truth of the thief, and he will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Wang Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Hu Zongxian: Lao Tzu gave you silver, you fucking bite me, open your mouth and shut up to steal people, and when you shouted King Hui before, you were more comfortable than anyone else.
"Why not?"
"Even if you Hu Zongxian don't want it, you won't send these 50,000 taels to Jingshi to me?!"
Jiajing Immortal's words, Governor Hu was stunned and broke the defense.
How else can you do this?!
These words instantly opened up a new world for Hu Zongxian, and he suddenly found that it was not possible to send silver to Zhang Shoufu by himself, so he would send it to the emperor in the future!
"Idiot."
Throw down the next sentence.
Then, Jiajing looked at Qi Jiguang, who was kneeling aside.
"You are Qi Jiguang?"
Hearing this, Qi Taibao, who was debating whether to send silver to the emperor in the future, trembled, and hurriedly said yes.
He had already learned from Zhang Juzheng's letter that he was able to be promoted from an unknown military attache to the deputy chief military officer of Zhejiang in just a few years because of His Majesty the Emperor's attention.
"Well, that's good."
The main reason why Jiajing Immortal was promoted to Qi Jiguang like this was because during recess, he heard from other emperors that he had gone to Dengzhou Wei to steal the flat burden before, and he remembered the name Qi Jiguang.
In Zhu Houxi's view, since he is a person valued by the master, he is a person with immortal fate, so he naturally needs to use it and reuse it.
"From now on, the governor of the five armies will be added to the governor of the left capital of the same knowledge, and the Zhejiang capital will be controlled."
Qi Jiguang, who was kneeling, was stunned.
‘??? ’
'This, this is another promotion?! ’
On top of the military position of the Ming system, there is actually no official position of chief military officer.
There was no constant rank of the chief military officer, it was originally just a wartime official position, which was held by the military generals sent by the imperial court to the local control of soldiers and horses, and it was generally taken back immediately after the war, but in the middle and late periods, in some long-disturbed border areas, this general military officer slowly replaced the commander of the capital and became the highest military commander in the local area.
This operation is very similar to the governor system among civil officials.
At first, the governor only inspected the place on behalf of the imperial court, but after a long time of patrolling, he became a permanent resident, replacing the political envoy and becoming the local leader.
Therefore, although the current Qi Jiguang is the deputy chief military officer of Zhejiang, in fact, his official position is not the deputy chief soldier, but the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Department.
And now he has been promoted to the Governor of the Five Armies Governor's Office, and the control of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division is equivalent to being promoted from the deputy chief soldier to the chief military officer.
Of course, in terms of subordination, he is still under the jurisdiction of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, after all, the authority of the governor of Zhejiang is to control the military affairs of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Nanzhili.
"Ministers and relatives should repay the country with death! Live up to Your Majesty's grace! ”
Qi Jiguang pounced on his head, and banged loudly.
He stumbled on his head, and he didn't lose at all.
After all, Qi Jiguang was not yet thirty this year, and the chief military officer in his twenties could not be found in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Stop kneeling, get up and talk about business."
Ji Boying patted Wang Zhi's shoulder, and then pulled a chair to sit down, Jiajing Immortal did the same, and also pulled a chair to sit on Ji Boying's side.
Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang and Xu Wei all took a deep breath, and then stood up, of course they didn't dare to sit, they all bowed their heads and stood on one side.
As for Wang Zhi.
Boss Wang took a deep breath, the cigarette burned for a small part, and then white smoke billowed out of his nasal cavity.
This operation is very familiar.
Obviously, as the business boss of East Asia and Southeast Asia, Boss Wang has long seen tobacco similar to cigarette rolls from the Spaniards, but he has never seen such refinement.
took off the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, got up, and stared at Ji Boying and Jiajing Immortal.
"I don't know what kind of deal Immortal Master, Your Majesty, is going to talk to Wang."
Jiajing Immortal didn't speak, because he didn't know either, he just looked at this One Piece King, and Wang Zhi trembled when he saw it.
After all...
This is the Emperor!
In Ji Boying's eyes, the emperor was a very ordinary creature.
But in the eyes of any subject of the Ming Dynasty, even a One Piece King like Wang Zhi, the emperor is an absolute supreme existence.
"Da Ming can allow you to be straight and trade freely."
A word fell.
Wang Zhi was stunned for an instant, and an irrepressible ecstasy appeared on his face.
He had waited for this day for too long!
Everyone in the world knows that he Wang Zhi is a super sea thief who crisscrosses the southeast coast, and he is even more in the Wa Kingdom to open a 'country', but Wang Zhi still believes that he is a person of the Ming Dynasty, a son of the Han family, and a descendant of Yan and Huang living on land.
From the original historical line, Wang Zhi, who was strong and strong, accepted Hu Zongxian's recruitment, and it can be seen that Wang Zhi has always wanted to go ashore in his heart.
Otherwise, with his strength at that time, tens of thousands of people under his command, and a large amount of silver support, it was enough to be able to spend a lifetime overseas, and Daming had no way to take him at all.
"However, there are a few conditions."
Ji Boying glanced at Wang Zhi, who was in excitement.
Sure enough, whether it is a man or a woman, going to the sea and going to the sea are forced to be helpless.
"As long as the imperial court allows me to trade freely, no matter what conditions are proposed, I Wang Zhi will agree to it."
Jiajing Immortal frowned slightly.
Of course, he had heard of Wang Zhi's name, and according to his past attitude towards the sea ban, he had to kill this smuggler.
"One, from today onwards, all the weapons and firearms under your command will be issued by the imperial court, and they shall not be equipped privately."
"Second, from now on, your fleet is not allowed to collect goods from the people of the Ming Dynasty without permission, and the goods that flow overseas from the Ming Dynasty are purchased by the government from the people, and the government will load the goods and set the price in a unified manner."
"Third, all the silver you earn in overseas trade, whether it is the purchase of goods from the Ming Dynasty or the resale of firearms from Spain and other countries, are all owned by the imperial court, and the imperial court will give you a cent of the trade volume every year as a salary."
"In addition, from now on, all the problems you encounter in maritime trade, the governor of Zhizhejiang will solve them for you as soon as possible, and the entire Ming Dynasty will support you in the future."
"There's only one thing you have to do."
"That is to rapidly expand the scale of your sea trade, what Daming wants, not only the southeast coast, but also the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian Sea, I want you to expand Daming's maritime trade business to any sea in this world."
"On the day of success, the imperial court will register you as a first-class Jinghai Marquis, hereditary replacement, descendants will build temples for shrines, and incense will continue."
Wang Zhi, who originally had a lot of opinions when he heard the first few sentences, became more and more excited the more he listened to it, especially when he heard the last sentence of 'hereditary replacement', there was no hesitation in his heart.
The whole person was like a turkey, which burned up in an instant.
Damn!
Can you do One Piece for a lifetime?!
Even if it looks infinitely beautiful now, maybe one day it will be hacked and blackened, and there is not even a whole corpse when he dies, and Boss Wang himself has done this kind of thing.
This is also the reason why Wang Zhi never takes his family to the sea, because he knows that the risk is too great.
Although the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, Boss Wang knows better that as long as he capsizes the boat once in this wind and waves, it will be a catastrophe.
It's still cool to join the system!
The hereditary first-class marquis, the old Wang family has been hard to find with lanterns for eight lifetimes.
And...!
Boss Wang is also a person with ideals.
Since it is One Piece, the goal is naturally the boundless sea, and Boss Wang has long been dissatisfied with tossing around on this southeast coast, and has long wanted to further expand his career.
From the mouth of Franco, he already knew that in the waters on the other side of the continent, the progress of maritime trade between various countries was in full swing.
It's a pity that he was just a private boss before, and he didn't dare to rush to the west.
But, now it's different.
Lao Tzu has become the CEO of a state-owned enterprise!
There is a state that pays salaries, and I'm afraid of a jer!
"How?"
Ji Boying calmly glanced at Wang Zhi, who was in a period of excitement.
Jiajing Immortal also looked at Wang Zhi, frowning.
Thump.
Wang Zhi, who had already stood up, knelt down again.
This time, the kneeling one is called a sincerity.
"Minister, Wang Zhi, in this life, I am willing to be loyal to the country, serve Your Majesty, go to the soup and fire, and never give up!"
"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”
'Bang' is a knock on the head.
"Well, you go and prepare first, and you will implement it in a few days."
Ji Boying waved his hand.
It is not an easy task to change from a private enterprise to a state-owned enterprise.
First of all, Boss Wang had to kill a group of people, and then he had to parachute in a few leaders.
"Yes!"
Boss Wang saluted and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, with a pause, he thought of something.
"Immortal Master, Your Majesty, the minister still has a question."
"Can we sell domestic firearms to the Japanese country, the Japanese country is currently in the midst of war, the demand for firearms is huge, and the profit is huge, as long as I ask the price directly, the price difference of five to ten times is not a problem."
"I've been reselling the firearms of the Franc machine all these years, and just that amount of money has been eaten by the bunch of the Franc machine."
Don't wait for Ji Boying to speak.
"I'm ready!"
As soon as the Jiajing Immortal heard the price difference of five to ten times, his eyes lit up.
That's equivalent to a hundred taels of silver smashed into it, and it's a thousand taels when it changes hands and comes back, this kind of business is simply not too cool.
The appearance of this chicken thief inexplicably reminded Ji Boying of the eagle sauce of later generations, this dog eagle, made a fortune from this thing, and in order to sell this thing, he tossed coups everywhere every day wearing the skin of the world's security guards.
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded slightly.
Wang Zhi saluted and exited the hatch.
The moment he stepped out of the door, Boss Wang still had a feeling of dreaming, exhaled a long breath, and suddenly felt that the whole world had become clear, and he could finally take his family to visit Hangzhou openly.
'It's fucking bright. ’
From today on, Lao Tzu is also a person with status. ’
Taking a deep breath again, Wang Zhi looked left and right at his side, and his expression was sharp.
"Listen to me, no one is allowed to enter this door today."
"Violators, no mercy."
"Also, go and call the owners of the ships at once."
At this time.
Inside.
"Master, isn't it too high to give him a cent of profit on the total trade volume?"
Jiajing Immortal frowned, daring to love that he had been struggling with this matter.
But Jiajing Immortal is also right.
If this sea trade is really completely liberalized, the annual trade silver is hundreds of millions, even if it is a penny, it is also millions of taels of silver.
"You think he's a fool?"
"Since he is willing to belong and do things for you, he naturally has a lot in his heart."
Jiajing was so smart that he instantly understood the meaning of the immortal master's words.
Wang Zhi categorically didn't dare to really take this one cent of silver, and finally he would inevitably write to Jiajing Immortal to collect this share of interest, and then give him a generous gift, such as an official salary of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year.
From start to finish.
Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang were both listening to the side, and both of them were a little stupid.
They had long known that the imperial court had hidden intentions to open the sea, but they definitely didn't expect it to be in such a way.
"Hu Zongxian."
Ji Boying looked over, and Hu Zongxian, who was in a daze, was stunned for an instant.
As long as you are not a fool, you can see at this moment that Emperor Jiajing is listening to this immortal master.
"Today, Wang Zhi's matter must not be mentioned to anyone, and on the surface of the imperial court, the forbidden sea is still maintained."
"And what you have to do is to cooperate with Wang Zhi to eradicate all other smuggling gangs in China, especially the Liu family, regardless of their size."
"Da Ming's smuggling, oh no."
"The sea trade of the Ming Dynasty can only allow Wang Zhi alone."
Hu Zongxian was stunned.
‘??? ’
What does this mean?
Isn't it going to open a sea ban? If the sea ban is opened, where is the smuggling?
"Didn't hear clearly?!"
Jiajing Immortal said a word in a cold voice.
Groov.
Hu Zongxian couldn't care if this chaotic brain thought clearly, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Minister Hu Zongxian, obey the order!"
"Wait by the side, I still have something to say to you."
Ji Boying withdrew his gaze from Hu Zongxian, Hu Zongxian took a deep breath, and hurriedly stepped aside, he had the illusion that he had become the umbrella of the underworld forces.
"Qi Jiguang."
His eyes fell on Qi Jiguang's body.
"Immortal Master."
Qi Jiguang hurriedly saluted, looking extremely excited.
"From now on, you will begin to form and train the Ming Navy, but if you need it, the soldiers, warships, and equipment will be reported to you, and the court will not be allowed to do so."
"You have only one duty, that is, to form an invincible navy, in addition to ensuring that Wang Zhi's merchant ships can sail unhindered at sea, you also have to make the ships of other countries feel terrified the moment they see the Ming flag."
"Remember, I set you a goal."
"Annihilate the Franc Invincible Arada."
The Ming Dynasty could not distinguish between Portugal and Spain, and was collectively referred to as the Franc machine.
In this era of the 31st year of Jiajing, that is, in 1552 AD, the Spanish Armada was rampant in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, with more than 300 large warships and thousands of main warships.
"On the day of the hero, he gave the first class Dinghai Hou, built a temple and an ancestral hall, and was worshiped by the descendants with incense."
The pie that should be painted should not be missing.
In an instant, Qi Jiguang was like Wang Zhi just now, and it instantly ignited.
The bloodline nourished by the land of Kyushu has the inertia of sheltering the descendants in its bones, especially for a military general, the hereditary title of the marquis can be described as a lifelong pursuit.
After speaking, Ji Boying's gaze fell on Hu Zongxian on the side again.
"Zhu Houxi, you can hear what I want to say next."
The Jiajing Immortal who was playing soy sauce on the side was also cheering up.
"Hu Zongxian, I know what you want to ask."
"You want to ask why you don't just open the sea ban if you allow Wang Zhi to trade in the sea."
Hu Zongxian took a deep breath and nodded.
