Chapter 139: The Enemy of Enemies is Friends

"How can this be? What is this Chu Cai Lao? At the beginning of last year, he also raised troops and came to attack our Nanri Island, don't forget, you were almost buried alive by Chu Cailao's cannon to collapse the wall!

How can you sell them cannons now? I sold Yan Siqi some cannons before, but it's okay, this Chu Cai always said that he couldn't give them anything! ”

As soon as everyone heard that Yu Xiaotian was going to sell cannons to Chu Cailao, it was like throwing a firecracker in a hornet's nest, and the nest exploded.

Liu Lao Liu had the biggest face, and he jumped up on the spot to sell guns to Chu Cailao for Xiaotian.

As for the others, especially the sailors or soldiers in the military system, they all jumped up one by one and protested loudly, saying that they could sell this cannon to anyone, but they couldn't sell it to Chu Cailao.

Yu Xiaotian knew that Lu Dao would encounter such a voice of protest, and they expressed their dissatisfaction, but after a while, he saw Lin Yiyang with a smile on the corner of his mouth, sitting aside and never making a sound, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

In addition, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi on the other side of the council hall did not object, but just sat there silently.

After Yu Xiaotian listened, he nodded, the reason why he wanted to put this kind of thing on the table and let his subordinates know the Tao was not that he had to ask his subordinates for their opinions on everything, but in this way, he wanted to touch the thoughts of his subordinates, of course, the decision was ultimately in his hands.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to make some kind of big decision himself, so that his subordinates don't know what he is doing for him, and privately feel dissatisfied with the decision he made, and make all kinds of noises below, causing internal cracks, it doesn't matter once or twice, if it takes a long time, this dissatisfaction will accumulate and eventually make people's hearts and minds.

So when there is something more important that he needs to make up his mind, after he has thought it through, he will usually gather his subordinates, ask their opinions first, understand their ideas, and then tell them his decision and why he wants to do it.

In this way, his subordinates can eliminate the problem at this time, unify their understanding, and complain indiscriminately among the subordinates below after the province is saved.

After everyone had expressed their attitudes, Yu Xiaotian coughed lightly, turned his head and looked at a few people in the council hall again, he knew very well what these people were thinking.

From the end of last year to the present, they have made huge profits in the arms transaction with Yan Siqi, and sold the cannons to Yan Siqi, which has made the council hall earn a lot of silver.

The council hall is in charge of the sea wolf's eating, drinking, Lasa and sleeping, everywhere is a place to spend money, never think of less money, no time when there is more money, as long as they can make money in business, they are willing to do it, the reason why they opposed it in the past is that they did not taste the sweetness, once they have tasted the sweetness, now it is Yu Xiaotian who wants to sell arms to the imperial court, and they are probably willing to do it.

So this time Yu Xiaotian planned to sell the cannons to Chu Cailao, and what they considered was not whether Chu Cailao would turn around with these cannons to deal with them, nor whether Chu Cailao was their former enemy, but they had already begun to make a small calculation in their hearts, and began to think about how many cannons should be sold to Chu Cailao, what model and how much money they could make, and how much silver they could earn in this transaction.

It was Lin Yiyang's attitude, which seemed very ambiguous at this time, but Yu Xiaotian could roughly guess that Lin Yiyang, this kid, must have seen through his thoughts, so he didn't speak indiscriminately.

"Mr. Lin! Why don't you speak? Yu Xiaotian asked Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang heard Yu Xiaotian call his name, so he quickly stood up and replied, "I have no opinion, so there is nothing to say!" I would like to listen to the decision of the big boss! ”

"Oh? What are these words? What is no opinion? So do you support the sale of the cannon to Chu Cailao, or are you against? I don't want to hear what you say there is no opinion, you talk about it, is it for or against? Yu Xiaotian saw that Lin Yiyang was playing tricks, but he didn't give him a chance, and he had to make a clear statement.

Lin Yiyang couldn't stop talking at this time, so he had to reply: "I support selling guns to Chu Cailao!" ……”

After hearing Lin Yiyang's words, everyone below immediately buzzed again, Liu Laoliu looked unhappy, and felt that Lin Yiyang was a little abnormal.

"Listen, everybody! It is a view that Chu Cai Lao was once our enemy and owed us a blood debt, but in other words, Chu Cai Lao paid a greater price, making him, a big man on the sea, have been reduced to a second-rate after the First Battle of Nanri Island!

And at the moment, we have no plans to go south, and Chu Cailao has been accommodating to us everywhere for more than a year, and has behaved deferentially, so this enemy is no longer our enemy for the time being!

On the contrary, it is Zheng Yiguan who is aggressive everywhere at the moment, wanting to expand his power, and Zheng Yiguan is our threat right now.

But Zheng Yiguan temporarily has Yan Siqi's restraint and is afraid of our strength, so he doesn't dare to fight with us for the time being, so he can only grab land with Chu Cailao! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yiyang deliberately paused.

Liu Lao Liu then said: "They are the best dog to eat dog, dog to dog hair, whoever bites to death is not distressed!" Let them bite it! ”

Lin Yiyang shook his head and said, "No! That being said, it's true, but it also depends on which is stronger! It seems that Chu Cai's strength is not weak, but after the First World War on Nanri Island, Chu Cai's strength declined, but Zheng Yiguan, as a latecomer, is in the limelight, and Zheng Yiguan's path is wider, he has a deep friendship with the Francophile of Entrenchment Ao, and he has been baptized and is a Catholic, so he is quite supported by the Catholic Church.

So he can buy Hongyi cannons that others can't buy, but Chu Cailao can't do it, he can only eat his old book, and rely on his savings to confront Zheng Yiguan, and this period of time is gradually declining.

As time goes by, Chu Cailao is afraid that he will fall apart, and then Zheng Yiguan will seize a large piece of territory and have stronger strength.

This is not what the big boss wants to see, so I think we can sell some cannons to Chu Cailao, so that Chu Cailao can recover some strength and have the ability to confront Zheng Yiguan.

What's more, we just gave him weapons, not how to cast cannons, Chu Cai Lao wants to rely on these cannons we sold him, and turn around to fight us in the future, which is not our opponent at all, so there is no need to worry too much about this!

On the contrary, after Chu Cailao got our cannon, he could know how powerful we were, and he didn't dare to offend us easily.

It is better to let a person who is favorable to us control the sea surface around Zhangzhou and Chaozhou than to let a person who is hostile to us control it!

So I'm in favor of this! ”

After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, those who opposed it began to bow their heads and ponder, and some began to nod their heads to show that it made sense, including Liu Laoliu, who also closed his mouth, touched the goatee on his chin and began to close his eyes and think about it.

Yu Xiaotian slapped his face with a smile, nodded again and again: "Well said!" Mr. Lin, who knows me, too!

Mr. Lin said it very well! We would rather let a person who surrenders to us occupy the surface of the Zhangchao Sea than watch Zheng Yiguan occupy it, not to mention that Chu Cailao has a lot of silver, and the others were killed by Zheng Yiguan, and these silver fell into Zheng Yiguan's pocket, so it is better to put it in our pockets first!

Chu Cailao is indeed our enemy, but that was once! Even if we want to clean him up in the future, we can clean him up at any time! But our current focus is not on how much territory to occupy, but to concentrate on holding the current territory, vigorously develop freshwater and chicken coops, if possible, I want to develop to the south in the next step, because the southern part of Taiyuan Island is more suitable for farming, and the environment over there is better than the north!

So at the moment, we need Chu Cai Lao to contain Zheng Yiguan for us, because Zheng Yiguan is one of our biggest enemies, this person is ruthless, and young and vigorous, once he grows stronger, he will become our strongest opponent.

One Yan Siqi alone is probably not enough to deal with Zheng Yiguan, once Zheng Yiguan kills Chu Cailao, it will only be bad for us, not good!

You will always remember that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Zheng Yiguan is now our enemy, so the person who opposes Zheng Yiguan is our friend! Even if Chu Cai was once our enemy, he can still be our friend, because we have a common enemy!

Instead of us personally carrying a knife to fight with Zheng Yiguan, then I would prefer to let Chu Cai go first, just like my father-in-law said, the dog bites the dog, let them bite! But the premise is that you can't let a dog be bitten to death, if a dog is weak, we will help him, if a dog bites another dog to death, it will not be fun!

We need to be in chaos over there for a while, the more chaotic the better, they are in a lot of chaos, in order to disperse our pressure, don't forget the current Fujian Futai Lord Zhu Yifeng, but he is fighting hard, sharpening knives, with them tossing in southern Fujian, Zhu Yifeng has to think about who to start with.

How about my father-in-law? After listening to our words, do you think this cannon should be sold to Chu Cailao, or should it not be sold to him? ”

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Liu Lao Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, you are still reasonable!" According to what you say, I now also think that if this cannon is not sold to Chu Cailao, it will be wrong! Well, sell it to him! But the price can't be low! Why do you want to slaughter him fiercely! ”

"Ha Lu Ha! This is easy to say, easy to say! It won't be cheaper for them! Yu Xiaotian laughed.
