Chapter 617: War Promise
"That's all?" Shao Eryi was really a little surprised, really surprised, he thought that Zhen Qian would raise his mouth, but Zhen Qian proposed these.
What is the right to open mines, the country of Wa has become a country of gold and silver, and the poor are left with only gold and silver mines. As for the islands south of Saikaido, that's even less significant, except for the two slightly larger islands of the Osumi Islands, the Wakuni did not include the surrounding islands under its jurisdiction.
In fact, Zhen Qian quietly occupied the Wufeng Islands, not everyone didn't know, but what could they do if they knew, they didn't regard Zhen Qian as a threat at all, just a few small islands, how much strength they could have.
Shao Eryi Zhen may be able to understand Zhen Qian's purpose of opening up mining rights, but it is difficult to understand why Zhen Qian likes the island, which can only be attributed to personal love!
"That's all for now, if I think about it later, I'll bring it up!" Zhen Qian seemed to be thinking, and finally showed a resolute expression.
"Good! If so, I believe it is not difficult to promise you? ”
Shao Er Yizhen did not pat his chest and promised Zhen Qian, obviously he needed to bring these words back, but in Shao Er Yizhen's opinion, this was not a condition at all, and subconsciously, Shao Er Yizhen thought that Zhen Qian would propose to ask for a piece of land in the Japanese country, or even ask for a few official positions for the family, which was reasonable.
"We need your weapons and equipment support, the more the better, especially the kind of thunderbolts and fire oil bombs, we will pay you in gold and silver, this time the deposit has been brought. This is the list of weapons and equipment we need, Zhen Lang will see when it will be available", Shao Eryi Zhen showed smugness on his face and took out a list that had been prepared a long time ago.
Zhen Qian looked at the list in his hand, even if he was calm, he was taken aback by the number above, if the weapons and equipment that the Ezo people needed could arm 10,000 people, then the list of weapons and equipment in his hand now could equip more than 50,000 people.
This is to provoke a war to destroy the country!
Zhen Qian felt his little heart beating uncontrollably, and at this time he felt scared for the first time, it was the deepest fear of war in his heart, which made his heart tremble for no reason.
War!
It has always been a topic that Zhen Qian deliberately avoided, even if he asked Zhen Shi to lead troops to occupy Qiumei Island, he didn't regard this matter as a war in his heart, at most it was a conflict between different civilizations, just like when he first arrived in the Japanese country and led his troops to attack Shaoer Dongshang, he subconsciously thought it was a friction.
In the final analysis, it is another manifestation of a political confrontation on the table, the difference in the ideas of the two sides, and the test of life and death, in which the winner is the king and the loser is the loser, and there is no right or wrong.
Is Fujiwara Nakamaro wrong?
Are these people behind the scenes righteous?
Some people say that war is an act of violence by two groups, an act of violence, an attack, and a killing by a collective, a group, an organization, a nation, a faction, a state, and a government, and an armed battle between the two hostile sides in order to achieve certain political, economic, and territorial integrity.
Where there are people, there are relations, and where there are relationships, there are contradictions, and when the contradictions intensify to the point of irreconcilability, wars arise.
Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, there are desires, and when desires swell to a certain extent, wars arise.
There is no one right or wrong at all, only the difference between strong and weak, endless desires and ambitions.
Zhen Qian doesn't like war, and even hates war, but he is not afraid of war, especially the war between the Japanese people, and there is still a trace of expectation.
You can choose the side of Shaoer Dongshang, of course, you can also choose the side of Fujiwara Nakamaro, as for which camp you will choose, it all depends on which side is more beneficial to you.
Zhen Qian is not a three-year-old child, he knows very well what he is doing, this is a big gamble, the purpose is different from those people in Shaoer Dongshang, they want power, but they want time. Without strength, Zhen Qian doesn't believe in anyone's promises, even if the other party really agrees to his request, it is a kind of charity, and it will not be kept at any time.
"I need a lot of iron, a lot of coal, and if possible, I need a thousand craftsmen and slaves ......", Zhen Qian put forward his own requirements, Shao Eryi Zhen asked for too many weapons and equipment, and it was impossible to meet them in a short period of time, and obviously Shao Eryi Zhen couldn't wait.
"Yes!" Shao Eryi really didn't hesitate for a moment, if Zhen Qian didn't make these requests, it would make him a little suspicious, "The things and people you want will be prepared immediately, when will the weapons and equipment be provided?" ”
Zhen Qian didn't want to ask Shao Eryi when he would start a war, none of this had anything to do with him, as long as he knew that the Wa Kingdom was about to be in chaos.
"I can provide one-tenth of the weapons and equipment first, and when all the necessary things and people are ready, I can provide one-fifth of the weapons and equipment every month, and if I want to be faster, I will need a large number of artisan slaves?"
Zhen Qian didn't want Shao Eryi Zhen to know his strength, and he believed that Shao Eryi Zhen would not pin all his hopes on himself, and once the war broke out, it would be impossible to end it in a short time, and this time would be better than two years, or even longer.
"The place of the transaction is located in the port of Kaoya Prefecture in Osumi Province", Shaoji Kazuma hesitated slightly, and said with a meaningful look: "I hope we have a happy cooperation with each other!" ”
"Definitely!"
Zhen Qian picked up the teacup and saluted Shao Eryizhen, and laughed in his heart: "It will definitely be a happy cooperation, and it is best to break the mountains and rivers that the Japanese country fought ......." ”
Zhen Qian didn't think about helping Fujiwara Nakamaro, a strong man doesn't need the help of the weak, helping Fujiwara Nakamaro will only make him die faster, maybe this is fate, so that the internal contradictions that have been backlogged for a long time in the Wa Kingdom completely erupt at this moment and evolve into a big war.
Zhen Qian is not the planner of this war, but he is the promoter of this war, and even an important catalyst, from the moment the Osumi country was captured by Shaoer Dongshang, the weapons and equipment provided by Zhen Qian gave those behind them great confidence, if these people did not meet Zhen Qian, they might have been dormant for a long time to accumulate strength, it was Zhen Qian who gave them hope and confidence.
Perhaps Zhen Qian himself did not expect that in history, Fujiwara Nakamaro did launch a rebellion a few years later, peeking into the emperor's throne and trying to replace him, but he didn't want to be dealt a fatal blow by the secret reactionaries in the end, completely shattering the dream of Emperor Fujiwara Nakamaro.
