Chapter three hundred and twenty nine. silver and heart
Western proverb, war is the continuation of politics! Sometimes victory in war is not even important, how to control the situation created by war is the most important thing! Just like the Western war god Hannibal, Kanny killed 80,000 Romans in the Battle of Canny, and a small half of the adult men in the city of Rome were wiped out by him. No ancient war before the war did not create such a brilliant single-day killing number as many as him, but what was the result?
After 15 years of fighting in Italy, Hannibal did not achieve any results. In the end, he was defeated by the famous Roman general Scipio, who fought back to the basic land of Gatha and was killed and humiliated.
There is also the overlord Xiang Yu. In the battle of Pengcheng, he defeated the Han King Liu Bang with only 30,000 cavalry. He defeated the army of 650,000 Han King Liu Bang, but in the end he ended up committing suicide at Gaixia.
There is also Li Cunxu, a famous war god in the world, and Zhu Wen, a fierce man like Zhu Wen, who was defeated by him. After a few years of his country, he was killed in a coup and ruined Jiye of the Later Tang Dynasty.
There are so many more! These are the ends of war academic masters and political idiots. Now it is time for Mao Jue to win the war and deal with the subsequent things.
Zheng Zhilong was on time. Three days later, he only brought ten green boats and arrived at Iki Island again. However, this was also the result of Chen Yonghua's hard persuasion. This Fujian juren was a discerning person. He could see that destroying Zheng Zhilong was actually not good for Mao Jue. After all, Dongjiang was strong, and his hands were not yet grown to reach Fuhai. Since he also had a job as a trader, an orderly South China Sea was far more beneficial than the heroes. The chaotic South China Sea brought him more benefits.
In this case, if Zheng Zhilong dares not go, his prestige will fall to infinitely close to zero.
But it also conforms to Mao Jue's military proverb. Anyone can start a war, but only the winner will end the war! Although he will not be destroyed, Zheng Zhilong, Mao Jue will never make him feel better. Before this, Chen Yonghua also became aware of it.
However, even when the group arrived, the eighteen Zhizheng generals who had left behind from Zheng Zhilong to Chen Yonghua still felt sour when they arrived.
Until now, there are Fujian warships with large and small wounds parked on the edge of the Dongjiang Cement Port Pier, which has not yet been built. The warehouse in the port area where the loading was originally converted into a prisoner of war camp by Mao Jue. There were 20,000 Zheng Jun pirates wrapped in bandages or splints on his arms, and they were locked in the fence with their eyes. Zheng Jun lost too badly in this battle!
I don’t know if it was intentional humiliation. Mao Jue was standing by the POW camp at the port and looking at the docking of the green boat with two big eyes. Their dragon head Zheng Zhilong brought Chen Yonghua and others down. The pirate prisoners were almost burst into tears, and they crowded anxiously on the edge of the iron fence. They stretched out their hands like zombies, shouting miserably.
"Flag!"
Before the old man on both sides said, Zheng Zhilong saw this scene and his throat was tight and he didn't say anything for a while.
Who knew that at this time, Mao Jue actually snatched in front of him and shouted with his hands high.
"Don't worry, this time I will invite you Zhengda's boss to resolve this dispute and let him redeem you back. Everyone is in the world and follows the rules of the world. You have a word and say it! One thing is the only one! In the future, you will be able to release the money from your boss immediately! No delay!"
It was not enough to just shout, and more than a dozen iron speakers followed Mao Jue's words. Don't say it, this really works. Everyone is a world-renowned man, and many people have done the business of tying meat tickets. They know the rules. Now that they are not as good as others, they are considered meat tickets! He is the open-minded and willing to talk about it. Then everyone is almost hopeless to go home. After all, Zheng Zhilong, the leader of his family, is rich, and no one knows that he is a little brother, and he is the eldest brother, who is the eldest brother!
But as the chaotic pirates of Zheng Jun dispersed and sat on the ground, Chen Yonghua's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled helplessly, and Mao Jue played with it again.
He is like Lu Buwei, so he released the news first, and after the negotiations, he asked for a huge price. But no matter how much money it costs, it depends on whether you redeem it! If you don’t redeem it, you won’t be redeemable? If you don’t redeem it, you will lose all your heart! If you redeem it? That means you suffer from your pocket, and Mao Jue will still have a bright reputation.
When Chen Yonghua thought, the two bosses finally started to strife, and they were fighting against the rivers and lakes of all directions. When both sides bowed, the heroes of the two sides entered the house leaning against the beach one after another.
Mao Jue has a good habit. He doesn’t have to tell who goes up and down the water when he sits in the middle or outside. He always holds his head, and his left hand is the most respectable. Both subordinates can sit on the left, and he can take care of his face.
However, the hall was not so easy to sit in. Next to the long round table, Mao Jue carried out the pervert to the end. Zheng Zhilong's thirty female guards of Nidanic priests asked him to tie up pigs and tie them up into a meat forest. There was less pressure on the top and more below, and the piles were placed in a large iron plate like a pyramid.
I have to say that these girls are wild enough and are not honest when locked up. They actually injured the guard in the middle of the night and almost ran away. On the one hand, they have to give them some trouble, and on the other hand, they are also demonstrating like Zheng Zhilong.
I don’t know how many of these Nanyang girls Zheng Zhilong slept. When he watched him come in, the wheat-colored little faces of these foreign goddesses fluttered red. The little hands tied to their backs twisted into fists and shook them, biting walnuts in their mouths and screaming. Zheng Zhilong’s face was also twitching.
The other few were much more honest. They had already sat at the table and experienced a Japanese "razor". Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhibao, and Shi Daxuan, who were shining their chins and lowered their heads sadly.
Everyone knows their weight, one north and one south, and there is no dispute over the leadership of their subordinates, and the two sides have sat down one after another.
To be honest, I was used to the kind of gathering hall of Liangshan heroes, and I was really not used to such a big table. Chen Yonghua, who was anxious, was embarrassed for a second, then he stood up first and was the first to hug Mao Jue with his fists.
"Mao Longtou! Our Zheng family has no idea about Mount Tai, offended your true dragon face and contradicted your old wharf! You are still magnanimous now, and the Zheng family is very grateful! In order to express their apology and integrity, my leader is willing to offer Cheng Yi a million taels of gifts, and please accept it with a smile!"
One million taels! If it were so poor a few years ago that they could not get rid of the blame, the generals of Dongjiang would be happy, but now they are all full of disdain. They can obviously hear sneering one after another. Even Adrena, a girl, rolled her eyes in a funny way.
Only Mao Jue has better quality, but he still maintains his smile and waves his hand with a smile.
"You are polite to you. My boss and you are all businessmen! Although the quarrels have been a little unpleasant recently, they are all business matters. There is no question of who is right or wrong, so you will be exempted from apologizing!"
How can Mao Jue not want the silver delivered to the door? Unless it is for a larger share, there is a saying that goes, don’t hit the smiley person! Chen Yonghua’s million taels of silver are not for nothing. If you accept the apology, even if the grudges between the two families are written off, what will I kill you? Just kidding!
Although Mao Jue's refusal was expected, Chen Yonghua's old face couldn't help but feel a lot of hardship when he heard him discussing business. If he wanted to discuss business, there would be some talks.
"Our Dongjiang is a poor place, poor mountains and rivers are unlucky! But it is difficult to manage. The court has been in a bad state in the past two years! The salary for a month or two a year is a great emperor's grace! It's also necessary to fight the Donglu to the death, and it's not easy for Mao!"
"How about the Master Zheng's family's food? This boat is north of Zhoushan, and I will hang the flag of my Dongjiang in the future! In the future, young people will hang the Dongjiang flag and go to Jiangnan to earn two wine money. Zheng's family's family will also make a fuss, how about it?"
Sure enough! Mao Jue leaned forward like this and looked over with a vigor. No matter what Chen Yonghua or Zheng Zhilong looked, his face couldn't help but twitch.
When Zheng Zhilong was in his prime, he had more than 4,000 ships of all sizes under his name. It was not that these 4,000 ships belonged to him, but that these ships had to be hung with the Zheng family's flag to go on a business trip in Southeast Asia. There were 30,000 taels of large ships, 3,000 taels of medium ships, and 300 taels of small ships. Zheng Zhilong relied on the ground to share the spoils and accumulate a large amount of family property.
Now Mao Jue is also eyeing this piece of fat. If you want to come to Japan to do business, you can! But this time you have to be my banner! As for how much money this banner costs, it depends on your sincerity!
Moreover, Chen Yonghua had a good plan before. He went to Japan to do business and supplied 30% of the goods to Mao Jue. If you come to Fujian from Dongjiang, you have to supply 30% of the goods. Now, you can't even think of cashing for ships with the Dongjiang banner. This is the entire unequal tariff system.
More importantly, this also particularly hurts the authority of the Zheng family!
In the past, the Zheng family dominated the main family! If you don’t pay the money, just wait for the ship and cargo to be lost! But now people are swaying in front of you under the banner of Dongjiang, and you have to greet them with a smile. Nowadays, people who do maritime merchants are no more than those exporters in later generations. To put it bluntly, they are all snobbish and pirates. If you have milk, you are a mother. After a long time, who will still worship your Zheng family’s wharf?
But don't agree? Now there is only one-quarter of the Zheng family's fleet left! Whether he can get back that half depends on Mao Jue's expression. If he offends him, Mao Jue doesn't even have to come to take revenge. He then puts the Dongjiang fleet in the South China Sea for two rounds. Some people are mad dogs who rush up and bites the Zheng family hard. Now that they have to swallow their front teeth, they have to swallow their stomachs! All they can fight for is swallowing less blood.
"The ships north of Zhoushan are on the banner of Maolongtou, and the ships south of Zhoushan are on the banner of my family, and they are on the gate of the mountain. How about it?"
Now you are your father! We recognize this! But don't stretch your claws too long! The flag is sent to my maid! Chen Yonghua's eyes are as if they are light bulbs, and he almost bites Mao Jue. When he kills you with his eyes, Mao Jue finally gives in a little.
"That's what it should be!"
After agreeing, Mao Jue was still sneering in his heart. Chen Yonghua was smart enough, but after all, he was limited to the times and didn’t even know about tariff protection! Businessmen from Fujian and Guangdong went north to do business and wanted to buy an extra flag. It was enough for him, a businessman from Zhoushan, Shandong, Liaodong, Shandong, to buy a flag. The cost was one difference. In terms of market competitiveness, these Jiangnan great men were shorter, and forever, the poor and weak Beijing merchants would do them all sooner or later.
Mao Jue originally hated those selfish and greedy Jiangnan gentry who could stab their money in the wallet. Why didn't he do it?
This is the first core of the negotiations between Zheng and Mao families. Although they have suffered a huge loss, the Zheng family members breathed a sigh of relief.
However, immediately, Mao Jue's words almost made Zheng Zhilong jump up.
"It is said that the south ship is a horse, and the brave man of Zheng Da's head taught Mao a lesson. In order to express his respect, one person ransoms, one thousand taels will be collected, and there are also the masters! The body of a thousand gold! One person ransoms is 10,000 taels! Ten thousand taels of gold."
"You're just grabbing!"
One person is one hundred taels, and twenty thousand people are two million taels! The leader of the general leader is one thousand taels. Even if the young leaders of more than ten or twenty brothers are not counted, there are still five hundred and seven hundred taels, which is sixty or seven hundred taels. As for Zheng Cai and the others, the core group of the Zheng family asked Mao Jue to do more than ten, more than one hundred thousand taels of gold, and one piece of four or five hundred taels. You should know that the pure silver income of the Ming Empire is only four or five million taels per year.
Moreover, in the concept of pirates, life is not worth the money, and the ship is worth the money. The three great blessing ships in the Zheng family are parked at the port, including the face of the Zheng family. How much money does it cost to redeem these?
Even Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but feel moved, stood up suddenly and roared angrily.
"One hundred taels per person is too expensive. In Fujian, even if you kidnap, ten taels per person is enough. The leader and several masters will follow what you said in the boss Mao family, how about it?"
Chen Yonghua also frowned and beat the drums on the side, but this time, Mao Jue did not give in at all and shook his head solemnly.
"A person has only one life! In our Dongjiang River, whether it is a personal soldier or a guard, if he dies, I will burn 100 taels of silver. Is the life of the Zheng family so worthless?"
Zheng Zhilong choked again, asking him to admit that the lives of the southerners are inferior to those of the northerners are noble! Is he still scrambling to the world?
He felt bitter in his mouth, and the master was silent, and Chen Yonghua was fucking and continued to cheat.
"Mao Da Zheng, we are a customer from afar, and we don't bring much money. Such a big deal will take some time even if we raise it! You are so cruel!"
"It's okay to have no cash! You are all well-known figures on the sea of Fujian. Let's erect a monument on this Iki Island! People and boats can be taken back first. When will Zheng Da's boss get enough money and send it to the north, Mao knocked the monument and sent the affidavit back, let's...
The eyes that had a long sound here also flashed with a strange look, and she said with a smile.
"There is a difference between closeness and alienation. Zheng Dazhen just needs to redeem the people he is close to. There are not many ships left, and there is no need to redeem them all. What do you think?"
Can you save money? Zheng Zhilong suddenly had a great intention on his face, but Chen Yonghua wanted to go up and slap Mao Jue two big shots.
