Chapter 376: Attacking Wang Qinian
After Yang Youji withdrew from the group, Zheng Zhilong and Xia Nan continued to interrupt the topic, and both of them looked calm, as if the scene that almost met just now had not happened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zheng Zhilong asked curiously: "General Xia, this brother behind you said that the fire gun is three times faster than the official army's bird gun, is this true?" ā
"It's true. If not, how can I repel the tens of thousands of troops sent by the former governor Wang Zunde to overwhelm the border? Under the city of Guangzhou, the officials and troops are attacked by water, how can I retreat with my whole body, and how can Governor Xiong appease me? I, a general, also fought with a knife and a gun. ā
"General Xia's subordinates are really an elite division. I wonder if this kind of fire gun can be sold to me with love? "Zheng Zhilong has a huge power on the water, and there is also a private musket guard on land, mainly composed of blacks, well-trained, stronger than the combat effectiveness of ordinary officers and soldiers, and the weapons used are also arquebuses, which are similar to the bird guns of the official army. Hearing that there was a better firearm in the south of the summer, with a rate of fire three times that of the arquebus, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be moved.
Xia Nan made an embarrassed expression: "This ...... Don't hide it from General Zheng, I can gain a foothold in Lingao, relying on the fire guns, this fire guns are my lifeblood, and the Jade Emperor will not sell them when he comes, please forgive me. ā
Seeing that the other party's attitude was so resolute, Zheng Zhilong couldn't say anything. As long as other competitors don't have this kind of firecracker, it doesn't matter, and their own center of gravity is not on land anyway.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement on the alliance and the price of artillery: the two formed an alliance at sea, jointly dealt with Liu Xiang and the Dutch, and waited for an opportunity to find the main force of the other side for a decisive battle, with the Zheng family as the main force and Xia Nan as the auxiliary. The price of the artillery was 3,000 taels of silver, and Zheng Zhilong did not bargain again, but it was agreed that each cannon would be given an additional 30 solid bullets and 30 shotgun barrels, and the first batch of 100 guns would be ordered, and half of the silver would be paid immediately, and the artillery would be delivered after the New Year, and the remaining half of the silver would be paid.
One got a sharp weapon in his hand, and the other earned 300,000 taels of silver, both parties were in a good mood, and they chatted about it. But after chatting for a long time, neither of them mentioned the issue of dividing up the territory after forming an alliance to defeat Liu Xiang - Zheng Zhilong deliberately ignored it, and had the idea of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge in his heart; Xia Nan also pretended to be confused, his goal was to dominate the South China Sea, and Zheng Zhilong was a stumbling block in his way forward, which would have to be eliminated sooner or later, so the most important issue of the alliance was avoided by the two who had their own thoughts.
After politely rejecting Zheng Zhilong's "enthusiasm" for a few days, Xia Nan embarked on the way home with half of the deposit.
This trip to Fujian can be described as a full return, not only successfully allied with Zheng Zhilong, but also made a very convertible deal. In the summer, Nan smiled toothlessly and couldn't see his eyes, a full 300,000 taels! How many pieces of cotton cloth do you have to sell, how many bottles of Erguotou do you have to sell to earn back? Sure enough, it is the arms trade that is the most lucrative.
He said to Lin Weiye with a smile: "Lao Lin, this Zheng guerrilla is a big financier, you can't be lazy, your white-mouthed iron cannon has to be of good quality, and you have to let people finish the dozens of shells they gave away before they can be reimbursed!" ā
Lin Weiye said disdainfully: "Look at your face of a profiteer, you are typically cheap and obedient!" ā
"That's the tech bonus, who lets us have the stuff they covet? Speaking of which, you are the greatest hero, without you to create such a good cannon, even if I have a lotus tongue, it is useless. Come, hug one, for encouragement! Xia Nan was in a good mood, teasing honest people and making gestures to hug.
Lin Weiye jumped to the side in a cold chill and scolded loudly: "Get out!" ā
"Hahaha......"
In the summer, Nan's trip to Fujian was smooth, but Wang Qinian, who was burdened with an important mission, vomited and died on the way to Taiwan.
Since being successfully pulled into the water by Xia Nan, Wang Qinian has found a new goal in life, and he takes this trip to Taiwan very seriously. In the past, he was hidden in the market, and he didn't need to face danger, but this time he infiltrated Liu Xiang's group, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his head, but he was not afraid - the days of living for others in the past made him afraid, and there was no future in those days.
He and Liang Dong found a small fishing boat to cross the sea to Taiwan, and the reason was also thought of, saying that Liang Dong was captured and killed the guards to escape from the opportunity, and he pretended to be Liang Dong's subordinate. As a small leader, Liang Dong still has more than a dozen people under him, but they all died at the mouth of the Pearl River, and no one came to expose this lie.
Using a fishing boat as an escape tool will not make people suspicious, but it makes Wang Qinian, who rarely goes to sea, suffer a lot, and he began to vomit when he got on the boat, and the earth was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and there was nothing to vomit on the third day.
Liang Dong looked at him sympathetically: "I said, Mr. Wang, why do you have to suffer this sin?" ā
Wang Qinian replied weakly: "I have reached the age of not being confused, but I have achieved nothing, as the dark line of Jinyiwei, in order not to affect future generations, I don't even dare to marry a wife and have children, and half my life has been in vain." Now that there is an opportunity in front of me, so that I can live again, raise my eyebrows, and have the opportunity to be a master, why not give it a go? ā
Liang Dong thought thoughtfully: "You have worked so hard, I am still a few years younger than you, and I don't seem to be able to live with myself if I don't have a future." ā
After all, the other party is a pirate who has been captured for a short time, whether it can be used for his own use, Wang Qinian did not dare to pack the ticket, he did not let go of this opportunity to attack the heart: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, this Xia Shen general dares to destroy the mouth of Jinyiwei, and he also wants to wipe out sea giants like Liu Xiang, which can be described as ambitious, and the future is limitless." Don't miss this opportunity to take a ride on a hitchhiker! ā
Liang Dong sighed: "Mr. Wang, you are right. Staying with Liu Xiang, I have always been a small leader, and I can't see much hope in my life, so it's better to fight, change my career to become an officer and soldier, and mix up the future of my wife and son. ā
Although the seasickness is terrible, Wang Qinian still wants to laugh: "You are robbing houses and houses at sea all day long, doing the business of licking blood from the knife edge, and you have no fixed place to live, do you still have wives and sons?" ā
Liang Dong replied embarrassedly: "The girls have played a lot, but the wife has never married." However, when Liu Xiang was destroyed, I joined General Xia Shen and became an officer and soldier, and when I stabilized, I would naturally be able to marry a wife, and maybe I could return to my hometown with beautiful clothes and scenery. ā
Maybe he talked about his life ideals with Liang Dong and distracted some attention, or maybe he adapted to the bumps of the fishing boat, Wang Qinian slowly eased up and didn't vomit again. Every day in the bow of the ship to watch the change of day and night, I don't remember how many days have passed, finally arrived at the coast of Fujian, listening to Liang Dong said, the big man is not far away.
