"Daddy!"

Seeing the shou han sitting high in the lobby, Xiao Huamei immediately broke free from the arms of the Taoist aunt, and she didn't know if it was because the little girl had a relationship with this Taoist aunt in her previous life or because of her sweet mouth, after a while, the Taoist aunt with a cold face was able to carry her into the door of the general's mansion.

"These people bully us! Here! That kid is going to cut down the banner of our Nanzhong Army! ”

There is no taboo in children's words, and children do not tell lies. Hearing this, the officers of the South China Army present were all furious. "We just helped you defeat the Dutch, sent troops and efforts, let you make meritorious contributions, and the lord also gave away the gold pirates in the sea on Nanao Island, and you actually want to cut down the banner of my Nanzhong army outside? What is the intention? ”

The impatient one pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword, just waiting for the command of the guard.

"Zhibao, what's going on?"

In front of everyone, Zhilong took out the majesty of the boss and his brother to ask his brother Zheng Zhibao, who dealt with the matter.

"Dashuai, this Nanao Island has always been known for sailors and sailors, and our people and Li Dashuai's people have put up recruitment flags outside to recruit soldiers. It's just that some people who were originally going to come to our camp saw that the Nanzhong Army had good food and high salaries, so they turned to the Nanzhong Army, which was understandable. But it happened that Da Mu passed by there, and when he saw it, he was a little angry, and he wanted to teach this group of people who had seen different ideas, and claimed to cut down the flag of the Nanzhong Army, which happened to be heard by Li Dashuai's palm pearl, and the two dolls clashed, but fortunately they were stopped by Shi Daxuan's son Shi Lang and this Taoist chief, otherwise. That's the trouble for today! ”

Historically, the banner in the army has been regarded as a symbol of the soul, honor, and commander, especially in this era of extremely underdeveloped communications, commanding troops is basically relying on the flag, so the importance of the military flag is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a capturing the flag.

And today, Zheng Zhilong's baby son actually wanted to cut the other party's flag, and he also drew a knife with the eldest lady of the Nanzhong Army, which has brought the two armies to the brink of fire.

After listening to Zhibao's words, he confirmed from the mouth of the Taoist aunt that his son was actually going to use a knife to cut Li Huamei. If Zheng Zhilong can still be quiet. Without making a statement, this matter will definitely cause a merger between the two armies.

He pulled the cowering Fumatsu Pill out of the crowd, and looked at the two big-eared scrapers on his face, "You decrepit boy!" The South China Army is here to help us! You're so ignorant of how to mess with people. And you want to cut down other people's flags?! Even more hateful. A man wants to use a knife to fight a delicate little girl? What about your courage and audacity? All eaten by dogs?!! ”

looked at the baby son's snow-white and pink face, and ten finger prints appeared. Zheng Zhilong's anger did not subside, he turned his head, and looked at the five Fusang people who followed His Highness Fumatsu Pill today with a blue face.

"Are you following the eldest young master today?"

Those five Fuso people had already been terrified. Today's events are really a big disaster! The delicate little girl in front of her, her Lao Tzu is a figure that even the Shogun and Lord Zheng have to look up to.

"His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru is young and a little impatient, don't you know how to stop him?! If he really provokes a big mess today, how many of you can take it?! ”

Zhilong's words were not loud, but they smashed into the heads of the five Fuso people like a big mountain.

"What should I do, how can I make amends for your sins, and I don't need to say anything more?"

When several Fusang people heard this, they didn't say a word, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zheng Zhilong three times, and kowtowed to His Royal Highness Fumatsumaru, "The ministers can no longer serve His Highness, please take care of Your Highness!" ”

The Fusang people led by him walked in front of Shouhan and bowed to Shouhan in the same way, "My master was careless for a while and missed the inspection, which is our sin." ”

After speaking, he got up and came to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion proudly, and carefully took off the array feather weaving he was wearing with the deerskin of the big man and made of high-quality Jiangnan silk. Fold it, put it aside, take off the clothes on the body, wrap it around the long knife, kneel on the bluestone slab in front of the door, stab it in the abdomen, and pull the blade horizontally, the sharp blade immediately opened the belly, and the intestines inside flowed out. The samurai was not finished, and taking advantage of the breath of blood, he pulled out his knife again, and slashed it again from top to bottom, cutting a cross in his stomach.

The other four committed suicide by seppuku.

Five clumps of blood bubbled on the bluestone paved road, and the five men supported their bodies with long knives that pierced their bodies, preventing them from falling forward or backward.

Seeing that the five living beings had become five sculptures in an instant, Zheng Zhilong nodded. "Order, the five of them will be doubled according to the death rule."

Zheng Zhilong's action immediately made the people of the Southern Central Army speechless, and the Dao Gu even blocked Xiao Huamei's sight with her hand, and kept chanting "Sins and sins." ”

Looking at the internal organs outside the door, and the blood that silently seeped into the ground along the cracks in the stone slabs, and smelled the slightly sweet and rusty smell of blood in the air, the generals of the Nanzhong Army became speechless one by one.

"This Dao Master, the matter just now is up to you. Daughter, go and take out the snacks that your aunt brought you, and ask this Taoist chief and the young master of the Zheng family to drink tea and rest together. ”

"Well said! The poor road is bothered! ”

"I don't know what to call it?"

"A monk is originally homeless and nameless, if you want to ask, call it the poor Dao Liu Guidan!"

"Damu, take out all the red bean cakes and gong yaki that your mother made for you, and go to the back to talk to the eldest lady of the Li family and drink tea!"

Shouhan and Zhilong's words made the generals of the Nanzhong Army breathe a sigh of relief, although the Nanzhong Army has always had strict military discipline, but it does not kill people casually, let alone kill people with the will of the commander. This made the officers who saw this scene very relieved and happy.

"Where is this a soldier in the army, it's clearly just a cat and dog raised by the Zheng family!"

In fact, the status of these Fusang ronins is just like the slander in the hearts of the soldiers of the Nanzhong Army. Shiron spent money to hire them from Hirado and other places. The whole family is counting on their salaries to live, once they lose this job, then the family will suddenly become starving, and if according to the treatment of the dead, not only will there be a lot of pension and burial money, but also in the Zheng family army in the future there will be a share of silver can be received, which is also a benefit of the Zheng Maritime Group.

"The dog has no form, but Brother Shouhan laughs!"

Swiftly and brutally quelling an incident that might have sparked a conflict between the two armies, Zheng Zhilong showed his iron fist and ability to control his subordinates. Turning the subject back to Fang Cai.

"That's what I mean. Both your and our armies rely on the sea for their livelihood, and they all rely on this sea for the transfer of military salaries and materials, and for trade. But not to mention the dangers of the sea wind and waves. There are a lot of young people. It's not as good as this. Your two families guarantee each other. Shouhan threw out his thoughts.

"In the waters of our South Central Military District. Anyone who hoists the flag of your army will be protected by our army as a whole, and our ships will be within the jurisdiction of your army. The same is true of your army. I don't know what Brother Feihuang thinks? ”

"This is one of them."

A flag, in exchange for tens of thousands of miles of sea safety, Zheng Zhilong's brain is spinning rapidly, this is completely beneficial and harmless for himself, you can promise him!

"Second, our army has already taken control of the Manraka Strait, and in a few days it will move south to take Batavia, the old nest of the Dutch."

"But the ship's guns are insufficient? Sailors are not enough? Brother Tai just said, how much do you need? It's all on the Zhilong brothers and others! ”

Listening to Shouhan saying that he was going south to Batavia to find the bad luck of the Dutch, Zhilong had to pat his chest to show his pride and righteousness.

Batavia is to be taken, but it will definitely not borrow troops from the Zheng family, which is the bottom line in Shouhan's heart.

"Definitely! Definitely! ”

Li Shouhan has his own thoughts in his heart.

"I just want to ask Brother Feihuang for a favor here."

"You and my brother are still so polite? I owe you a lot of favors! Just say, go in the water, go in the fire! ”

"That's good! Shouhan said! ”

The meaning of Shouhan is simple.

In the future, all kinds of bulk materials sold from inland areas to Japan and Nanyang regions, no matter how much money Zheng's maritime group spent, how much effort it spent to buy or rob them, the pricing power was all owned by the Nanzhong Army.

"I won't let my brothers shed blood and sweat and sell at a loss what they bought with silver and their lives, at most they will be sold at a few percent!"

I see!

When Zhilong, Zhihu, Zhibao and others heard this, they were all relieved, and turned to snicker. "I thought that the Li family kid was a character, but he was also a greedy person for money. Anyway, you are also domineering Manraka, and those Franc machine merchants will pass through your territory, and they will be sold by you! ”

Zheng Zhilong and others believed that Shouhan wanted to sell the tea, silk, raw silk, porcelain and other goods produced in the mainland by him, and the same was true of the goods imported from the mainland.

As everyone knows, due to the limitations of knowledge, the power of this pricing power demanded by the Shouhan is far greater than that of the Dutch fleet!

According to modern business theory, pricing power, especially commodity pricing power, means that a company has the initiative to set commodity prices, and if the product pricing is changed, it will not have a negative impact on demand. Companies with pricing power can raise prices in the event of rising costs, passing on the new costs to the downstream without affecting sales.

In other words, no matter how the market changes, the company with pricing power will not lose money, but will only pass on the loss to other links.

As a traverser, Shouhan deeply knows the pain and embarrassment of not having the right to set prices, and the days when the price of what to buy and what to sell is simply shame and pain.

Of course, Shouhan will also follow the general laws of market economy and follow the principle of matching cost and price. The price of a commodity is determined around its cost, plus expenses, plus expected profits, etc. It should be a universal principle.

Holding the right to speak and the right to set prices, this is a decisive step for the South and Chinese military to further control the trade between the East and the West, but in the process of setting prices, we must not blindly maximize profits, and at the same time, we must also consider the stability of the market order, as well as long-term development, long-term cooperation with partners and other factors. Some of them are even related to the country's economic lifeline, and are coordinated with the country's economic policies and development plans.

Of course, if necessary. Shouhan will not renounce the use of force either.

"It's easy to do! I will make a package ticket to Brother Shouhan, in the future, the tea of Fujian, the porcelain of Jiangxi, the silk and raw silk exports of Jiangnan, and the import of all kinds of foreign goods will be completely priced by the brothers of the Southern Chinese Army! ”

The rest is much simpler.

The two opened the charts and began to bargain over the surface of the sea.

As a result of the final negotiation, the two sides took Dayuan Island as the boundary and Dayuan to the north. It is under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhilong. To the south, it is under the jurisdiction of the Southern Chinese Army Naval Division. The strait between Dayuan and Kinmen, Xiamen, and other places served as a joint jurisdiction between the two sides, and the Spaniards to the north and the Dutch to the south met Dayuan. Both sides have an obligation to cooperate in their operations to drive them out and eliminate them.

A route to the east to Japan. It's the two sides going their own way. Because the purpose of trade is different at the moment. For the time being, it is still at the point where the well water does not interfere with the river water, so they are each holding their own territory.

As for the exchange of samples of the flags of the ships between each other. There are also small technical links involving pricing power commodities, etc., which are handed over to Zheng Zhibao, Chu Tianlei and others to deal with.

"Are you Shi Daxuan's son?"

Zhilong looked the twelve or thirteen-year-old half-year-old boy in front of him up and down.

"Yes, you're talking about my father."

"Well, haven't you seen Li Dashuai of the Nanzhong Army yet?!"

"Greetings to Li Dashuai! Thank you Li Dashuai for your help! ”

Let the subordinates deal with the technical details, and the two marshals returned to the second hall to deal with the mess that was almost caused by the dispute between the children.

"Brother Shouhan, this is the son of a sentry officer under me, who followed his father in the army, and I don't want to make this great achievement today."

Looking at the dim sum scum on Shi Lang's face, the two of them couldn't help but smile, in the end, they are still children, even if they have been exercising at sea for a long time,

His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru and Shi Lang himself were very interested in the dim sum from Daoxiang Village that Xiao Huamei took out, and they couldn't care about eating it. It's called Xiao Huamei a meal, "What kind of dorayaki, what kind of red bean cake, it doesn't taste good at all!" ”

Looking at the sturdy young man in front of him, Shouhan suddenly had an idea in his heart that he was going to swing a small hoe to dig the foot of the wall. This is a person who will leave a great reputation in the future! It also made great achievements for the early transition and rise of the Zheng Group, but unfortunately, it could not be used by the Zheng family. It is better for me to dig it up first, lest he serve the Tartars in the future.

When he proposed to take Shi Lang back to Nanzhong, he was politely declined by Zhilong. "The sentry officer is not on Nanao Island, I can't make the decision for him, and besides, the child's father was also in the war with the Dutch a few days ago, and no one can take care of him. He had to wait for his father's injuries to heal before sending him there. ”

Seeing Zheng Zhilong say this, Shouhan had to give up.

"My lord, why don't you let that kid surnamed Shi follow Li Shouhan?" When there was no one around, only Shiryu and his son were left, His Royal Highness Fukumatsumu couldn't help but tell his father the Nahan in his heart.

"You know what!"

Zhilong's eyes narrowed and reprimanded His Highness Fumatsumaru.

"And don't say that this Shi Lang has solved the scourge of killing for you today, which can be regarded as a credit to me, but on weekdays, his cousin Xiàn can't give him to the Nanzhong Army surnamed Li!"

"Why?"

"Why? Let me ask you, are there many people in the army who have learned guns and sticks, are they brave in combat, know the nature of water, and are familiar with hydrology and meteorology? Have you ever read a book? How many people have these conditions combined? ”

"Such talents, even if they are allies, cannot be given to others! What's more, what should we do if today's allies, who are not tomorrow's enemies, give such a person to someone else, and he will come to fight us in the future? ”

"What you did today is a bit of a gaffe. Fortunately, there is a father, and the lives of five Fusang people are used to relieve the siege for you, if the father is gone, or you are leading the troops alone, what should you do? ”

"Then I'll be on fire with my opponent!"

Fumatsu Maru was young in the end, and immediately said the simplest thoughts in his heart.

"Wrong. As the head of an army, you can let your subordinates do it, not yourself. Today's matter, you should let those Fusang people deal with it, it's a big deal to go back and beat a military stick, why take five lives? ”

"Then," Fumatsu Pill hesitated a little, "If there is any further possibility of infringing on the interests of my Zheng family, how should I deal with it?" To do it or not to care? ”

"Silly boy! If you find out that someone else threatens or violates you, can you still sit idly by? However, there is a question of method and strength in the shot. ”

"If it weren't for Shi Lang and that Dao Gu to stop it today, if you slashed out, it doesn't matter if you can hurt the other party, alas! Daddy is going to be embarrassed. ”

Thinking of that scene during the day, Zhilong couldn't help but be afraid for a while. His own army is fighting on the water, and he is confident that he can at least make a draw with the Nanzhong army, but on land, he is afraid that he will be defeated and lost.

On the same day, the deputy general of Nanao Island ordered that all homes on the island that raised chickens, pigs, cattle and sheep should be purchased by the official family at a price, and a banquet would be held to entertain the naval divisions of the Nanzhong Army and the Zheng Family.

The South China Army took out all the meat in the fleet and shared it with the Zheng Jiajun and the garrison on Nanao Island.

Zheng Zhilong simply ordered the ships to go to Shantou, which was close at hand, to buy wine and meat, so that the brothers could have a good meal.

After wandering on the sea for a long time, sailors are extremely tired of fish and shrimp, but they are very interested in pigs, cattle and mutton on land. When night fell, the whole island of Nanao was enveloped in the enticing aroma, Zheng Zhilong and Li Shouhan generously ordered, but all the residents of the island can receive a piece of wine and food, and enjoy with the people.

Suddenly, the whole Nanao Island became more lively and festive than the New Year.

"If Chen Weilian is worried, he is hot. The authorities are sparse, and the spurts are repeatedly called, and there is nothing to make up for the scorching. Seeing the devastated eyes, if Mangla is in his body, there is no escaping the sin. He has already surrendered to impeachment, and he does not dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven as his own strength, and the ministers have relied on the power of heaven outside the world, so they should be in the domain. Offering the prisoner Que Ting, punishing the street, the anger of the gods and the courage of the cold Kou, this move is also. Captured a pseudo-king of the Yi chieftain and several leaders of the Yi party, burned and sank thousands of Yi people, 18 people were captured by Ji Sheng, 120 Yu Yi level, five giant ships were burned and three giant ships were captured, more than 50 small boats were destroyed, and armor, swords, compasses, sea charts and other things were captured. And the corpses were killed before and after, and those who were dragged to the level of those who could not be cut off were too numerous to count, and they did not dare to tell. Gaichen to the sea in January to complete the work, the division is not old and the wealth is not scarce, the speaker is said that Fujian, Guangdong has its own Hongyi to come for decades, this is a good news, so the minister did not dare to avoid suspicion and follow the routine to offer prisoners, in order to show the emperor to the sky to discuss a grand event, waiting for the investigation and implementation of the military department. For this reason, I have this book, and I would like to ask for the title of the special messenger Pan Kunhua. ”

When Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, learned of his past experience, he couldn't help but be greatly admired, and ordered his staff to quickly write a report book, asking for credit for themselves and for his subordinates to fight the enemy bravely.

However, in the face of a long list of seized goods and weapons and artillery handed over by Zhibao, Lord Zou generously allocated military weapons and artillery to Zheng Zhilong for use, and gently comforted and rewarded him, promising to ask for General Zheng to be added to the ranks.

The seized goods, gold and silver, unfortunately, were forgotten by the staff and Lord Zou to report to the emperor. (To be continued......)
