Chapter 412 Covenant
In this era, those literary and scientific giants of the Russians have not yet appeared, and the national strength is not stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Han can call the other party a barbarian without shame, and there is no psychological burden.
"It seems that the Tessie people are also strong and weak." Mo Zongtong summed it up like this.
Because of the relationship between Joao and others, first affecting the army, and then on the side of the government and commercial banks, everyone has a better impression of these Taixi people, and Zhang Han will not deliberately say anything, in the future, there will definitely be a war with the white skin in Nanyang, and everyone will understand that these white skin guys are good and bad.
"Don't worry, proprietor." Mo Zongtong stood and said, "I must watch more, listen more, think more, and remember more." If it is true that the shipbuilding and all aspects of the other party are worthy of cooperation, they will also make the matter completely settled over there......"
"Well, you have to be responsible." Zhang Han said happily: "Don't be afraid to take responsibility......"
"It's that my subordinates knew almost nothing about the sea before." Mo Zong channel: "But the subordinates are not afraid of hardship, and they will learn from the Zheng brothers along the way, and there will always be some benefits." β
"Yes, you have to have the courage to ask questions without shame......"
Zhang Han felt very relieved about Mo Zongtong, although Zheng Zhilong and they were strong, Mo Zongtong may not be weaker than them, and even had stronger experience in presiding over the overall situation......
"My lord, it's ready over there."
Li Mengnian and Zhang Xuwen walked in together, and Li Mengnian said, "The eldest son, they are ready......
"Okay, I'll go over now."
Zhang Han got up, and everyone went out with him.
The place of the oath was in the middle of the barracks, in order to make Li Guozhu feel better, the recruits of several divisions who were undergoing training in the barracks were mobilized, and lined up in the middle of the school field, and the officers of each division ordered to wave all the flags of the division, bureau, and flag team, and the military flag bearer stood in front of the queue and held the flag high.
Li Guozhu stood on the right side of the general platform in the center, with a solemn expression.
As soon as Zhang Han arrived, he first learned from Li Dong: "Ready?" β
Li Dongxue nodded and said, "Everything is fine." A rooster, liquor, and a knife were prepared. β
"Good!" Zhang Han nodded and said to Li Guozhu: "Let's start?" β
Li Guozhu nodded and walked over, at this time the clerk handed over a big rooster with beautiful feathers, Li Guozhu took out the knife on the plate, wiped it on the rooster's neck, and then dripped the chicken blood into a large cup, which was full of a cup of soju.
Li Guozhu raised his glass and said loudly: "From today on, I and Lord Zhang have become brothers with different surnames, the two families are allies with each other, help each other, and never harm each other. β
Zhang Han also said the same thing on the side, the school review platform was surrounded by two important teams, Zhang Han's civil and military team, including people from the commercial bank and the chamber of commerce, came, densely packed with people standing on the ground, compared to Li Guozhu's attachΓ©, Zhang Han put on so many people, of course, not to make a strong noise, but to gather all his subordinates to do such an oath, which is also to show enough sincerity.
The two said the words of the oath, and then Zhang Han drank first, Li Guozhu drank later, and then dropped the cup heavily.
"Good!" Liang Xing shouted at the bottom, and the soldiers of the three divisions also shouted together.
After Zhang Han cheered a few times from the soldiers, he pressed his hands.
The bottom was immediately silent, and Li Guozhu nodded secretly, knowing that Zhang Han's soldiers were really well trained.
In fact, Li Guozhu felt that Zhang Han didn't have to build Western-style warships, using hundreds of small boats to carry such sophisticated soldiers to jump into the gang to fight, and those white-skinned guys had no way at all.
It's just that Li Guozhu also knows that once a person like Zhang Han makes up his mind, he will never turn back, and he will not change his opinion easily, so he doesn't need to say more.
"Chang Wei, Jiang Kui, Wang Zhang...... You wait to take a step forward. β
"Yes, sir."
The people named by Zhang Han, including Chang Wei, all stepped forward together.
Zhang Han looked at them and said in a deep voice: "You and others have all been sent overseas to hook up with me and Yusheng's overseas foundation, whether it is building merchant ships and warships, or organizing and training battalions, and cultivating camps, these things must be done in a down-to-earth manner, not anxious, not in a hurry, but also not because of setbacks and the idea of giving up." The eldest prince will help you, but you must stand up for yourself in everything, and don't lose my people. β
Chang Wei raised his head and said: "Please rest assured, if we don't build the foundation of Taiwan, we will never return to Shanxi." β
Zhang Han nodded lightly, and said: "You must know, my Ming Dynasty originally forbidden the sea, since Longwan opened the sea, a large number of ships went to sea, in exchange for a large amount of silver in exchange for my Ming property, with my own, to earn great profits that others do not have, Fang Nanyang has the Taixi countries are intertwined, the Taixi people come from thousands of miles away, a single voyage will take more than half a year, the sea journey is long and difficult, but they are not afraid of life and death, come from afar, what?" They are for profit, and I, a businessman, seek profit, so how can I be left behind? It's not enough to make our own people's money and Tartar money on land, we also have to grab the territory of the South Seas and make the money of the Taixi people! Nanyang Xiang is the birthplace of China's trade, and many countries have been canonized by our Ming Emperor, how can such a place be allowed to be occupied by others for too long? Nanyang place, sooner or later, will become the unswerving foundation of me and Yusheng for thousands of years! β
The thousands of people present only then knew the big hills and ravines in Zhang Han's chest!
Everyone felt passionate and generous, and many people knew at this time that Zhang Han's determination to operate in the south was so great, and some people began to regret that they did not seek a place among the people who went south early.
"I know that the turmoil at sea is quite bad," Zhang Han continued: "The pioneers who went south, whether in terms of salary and future distribution of share capital, must be better than those who stayed behind. β
This time the thunderous cheer was all the people who went south, and there were two soldiers of the flag team to follow, a bird gun and a soldier flag team, and the soldiers of the two flag teams almost jumped up...... Lord Zhang's generosity has always been well known, and even adults say that there are generous returns, and this time it seems that he really went to the right place.
Ma Chaoren whispered to Zhang Yanhong and others below: "It seems that Nanyang has a lot of profits......
"I've also heard about ......," Robin Zhang said, "a boatload of iron is a net profit of more than 100,000 yuan, and you can do a lot of other business in the future......"
"The purchase of the boat was done by Heyusheng himself......"
As long as the Chamber of Commerce can do it, Zhang Han has tried his best to hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce to do, anyway, and Yusheng also accounts for a large share, and even the smuggling business in the north is the same, and the matter in the south, because Shanxi people are really not interested in overseas trade, and almost no one understands it, so this matter is promoted by Zhang Han himself.
Including the three ships that have been bought, Zhang Han named Xinpingbao, Zhenyubao and Zhenxibao, in the future, the naming of the entire ship is according to tonnage, doubling is to name it after the acropolis or county, doubling it is the government, and then naming it after the province.
Zhang Han was ambitious, hoping that all the provinces and autonomous regions in the future would be used in the future, and it should be enough to have a fleet of this size in the South Seas.
If it doesn't work, then double it.
These are all paid by Zhang Han out of his own pocket, and they have nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce, today Ma Chaoren and others just came to watch the ceremony, but now it seems that Ma Chaoren and others feel that they have made a mistake.
"Let's talk about it later......" Ma Chaoren frowned and said: "Lord Zhang has not been able to convince us of this matter, and there are many people at the bottom who are noisy and unwilling to invest money, I think it is necessary to convene a council meeting to unify the tone." β
Robin Zhang said: "I am happy to see it, and my brother will definitely vote for it." β
Jiang Dalin said: "I'm afraid that proprietor Zhang doesn't want the Chamber of Commerce to intervene." β
Zhang Yanhong said with a smile: "Have you seen the proprietor Ma and proprietor Li over there in Lingqiu?" And Proprietor Sun, how about we hold a joint meeting with Lingqiu and Xinpingbao? β
"Wonderful ......" Ma Chaoren glanced at Zhang Yanhong with appreciation, and felt that this old friend's mind was moving quickly.
The alliance of chambers of commerce in various places, of course, it is impossible to have any practical pressure on Zhang Han, and the comparison of the strength of the two sides is here, but Zhang Han can be considered in terms of favor and public opinion...... Do this, and that's enough.
"Your matter of going to the South China Sea, Taiwan, and Yusheng is the matter of my Li family......"
Li Guozhu also expressed his stance on the side, of course, saying some words to enhance friendship, and after he finished speaking, several military leaders led the team, and the soldiers applauded warmly.
Everyone felt very excited, the grand strategy of going north and south, ordinary soldiers didn't know much, but what they knew was that they could make meritorious achievements, get promoted, and then change the fate of themselves and their families...... For ordinary people, it is always themselves and their families that are the most important, and Yusheng and Zhang Han, as well as Li Zhuang Inspection Division, Tianchengwei, and the business group, everything is Zhang Pi, going south and north is just a task, what matters is what they can get in the task.
In the past few years, the people who have followed Zhang Han have more or less changed their fate, of course, in a good direction, and almost nothing that goes against him ends well, so in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, Zhang Han's actions are always right, and they have an almost blind sense of trust in Zhang Han.
After the oath was over, Li Guozhu and others set off in the car, Zhang Han and Li Guozhu were in the same car, and walked more than ten miles south before getting out of the car to say goodbye, and Li Guozhu also got out of the car and bowed again and again...... This trip to Datong, Li Guozhu benefited a lot, not only made an oath with Zhang Han, and the two families officially became a good relationship, but more importantly, this trip to Datong opened a new window in front of Li Guozhu's eyes, so that he also learned a lot of things.
As for how much of a difference what has been learned, it can only depend on Li Guozhu himself, or how much change Li Dan and the backbone of the Li family group are willing to make...... In this regard, Zhang Han did not have much confidence.
Once a group has been formed, it is almost much more difficult to completely change the norms and habits that have worked in the past than to start from scratch completely......
