Chapter 361 Long Knife and Neck (Repair)
"Is the prison here here to find out the news?" Kang Tianqi looked tired on his face, and finally leaned on the soft couch and said, "The news is true. Yan Qi and Li Dan gathered their troops and ships, intending to come to the sea in Japan within more than a month. Muromachi Temple, Daming of all parties, has ordered the samurai to mobilize the warriors. The first ones are the Ouchi family, Hosokawa family and other companies. Of course, the most important thing is that I have put the ships on guard. The major masters can send samurai to war at any time."
Chen Daojian said: "Isn't Kang Shuai and these two a good relationship?"
Kang Tianqi smiled and said, "We have done a lot of blood licking at the knife, and have done a lot of things to slaughter the village and destroy the city. Who can trust who? There was an agreement before, but it was only a benefit. With more people supervising, everyone can only act trustworthy. If no one supervises, no one will take Xinyi seriously. Wang Zhi and I are closer, and we are from Wei, Yan Qi and Li Dan. These two are Siamese and the other are from Luzon. It is said that they have the blood of Wei, so no one can explain this. But they will never be as good as me and I.
Wang Zhi valued it so much. Now the people in Tianfang are powerful, Yan Qi and Li Dan have been following Pu Xingfeng. Now Pu Xingfeng is entangled by the war between the Three Buddhas and Qi. Behind Man Tsaijia, there are also the help of Siam, Zhenla and Chameng. These countries are also eyeing Man Tsaijia. These countries are small countries, but the power on land cannot be underestimated. Man Tsaijia has invaded Siam and returned in a crushing defeat. Pu Xingfeng cannot escape within one or two years. I think it is difficult for him to destroy the Three Buddhas and Qilan in one or two years."
Chen Daojian thought, "What Kang Shuai means is that Yan Qi and Li Dan are driven by Pu Xingfeng?"
"It's roughly the same."
"Pu Xingfeng could not afford Sanfoqi and Lanfang within one or two years. Kang Shuai said that he also had the threat of Siam and Champa. So why not be able to get along with Kang Shuai? Yan and Li were at most evenly matched with Kang Shuai..."
Kang Tianqi closed his eyes slightly and did not answer.
Chen Daojian stood up and said with a firm face: "I understand what Kang Shuai means. I originally decided to leave the Japanese tomorrow morning. I will take a boat to go back to the Dongfan when it dawn tomorrow. I can't go back to say goodbye to Kang Shuai. I still ask Kang Shuai to forgive me."
Kang Tianqi nodded and said, "You are a smart young man. I like you and what Nan'an Hou did in the Dongfan. Our two families will rely on each other in the future. You will bring this meaning to Nan'an Hou for me."
Chen Daojian clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely bring Kang Shuai what he meant, and I believe Nan'an Hou will understand."
Kang Tianqi nodded and watched Chen Daojian turn and leave.
After a while, Kang Mao entered the side room and said to Kang Tianqi: "Father, do you really understand this young man?"
"Of course." Kang Tianqi beat his legs and said with a smile: "I have never missed people in my life. I have already said so obviously. If he still doesn't understand, it would be that I have missed it. Fortunately, as soon as I talked about it, he immediately understood. If it weren't for the bad weather these two days, many ships in the port were sheltering the wind and it was difficult to get in and out, I think he would have left tonight."
Kang Maocai sighed: "Marquis Nan'an is really amazing. He can control such subordinates, and we father and son, and there is no such young man around us."
Kang Tianqi said self-deprecatingly: "Most of the people around us are outlaws, merchants, and the great Japanese nobles said to us respectfully. When do you see when they talk to us directly? Nan'an Hou sent a hairless envoy to come, and the head of the Da Nei family met him in person. Why? Because he has the official position of the Great Wei Dynasty, a serious court official, and an official identity. For more than 100,000 people, to put it nicely, they are kings, handsome, and ugly, they are just a group of pirates. The Japanese value their identities.
In a thousand years, the Emperor is the Emperor, the nobles are the Lords, the warriors are the warriors, and the mud legs are the mud legs. No matter how strong we are, even if we are toppled, they will not recognize us as a daimyo, a general, or something like Guanbai, no matter how strong we are, they will not recognize us. The bandits are always bandits. Those scholars, no matter how far away the Nan'an Marquis, are they still a royal family or a close member of the royal family. What do they want to serve us? At least they will not be ashamed of their ancestors when they serve Nan'an Marquis."
Kang Tianqi showed a slightly desolate smile. No matter what, he was already very rich today, with a huge crowd of 100,000 people, and told him to do whatever he wanted like Wang Zhi to return home just for the sake of glory. He still didn't want to.
"The next step depends on the Nan'an Marquis." Kang Maocai said in a deep voice: "Now Chen Daojian has understood what we mean. He will soon return to the Dongfan, but the preparation time for them will not be too long. According to many people's returns, Yan Qi and Li Dan have been mobilized for more than twenty days, and many ships from the periphery have gone to Cebu Island. I estimate that at most ten days of kung fu, they will be at the city."
Kang Tianqi pondered: "Even if these two people mobilized, they could only dispatch 30,000 to 40,000 people. What are the ships? There are fifty or sixty real warships with more than 200 tons, and more than 100 tons. With the supply ship, they can dispatch more than 300 ships and about 30,000 people, which is almost 70,000% of their strength. They always have to keep some guardians, and they can't bring them all out with the ancient brain."
"My son and father think about the same thing." Kang Maocai said: "So I specifically asked about how many troops there were in the East Fan."
"How many?"
"Their navy has four battalions, more than 2,000 people. One cavalry battalion has more than 500 people, and there are also one or two hundred people in Nan'an Town. In addition, there are more than 1,000 guards who have been relocated with the wing army originally stationed in the Dongfan. Then there are the infantry battalions of the thirteen battalions. According to everyone's unanimous view, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion's military was born in the Nan'an regiment training, and their training, combat skills and experience are excellent. At least four or five battalions in the team have experienced more than three battles. Most of the new recruits have experienced more than six months of hard training, and their training intensity is much stronger than that of the imperial guards. If so,
After the battle, the Nan'an Marquis's army was divided into two parts, including Penghu Road, with more than 20,000 people and more than 20 large and medium-sized warships. It is impossible to go out to sea to invite war, but defend the port of Penghu Island, with strong crossbows and garrisons on the shore, Penghu's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In some places, there are only a few people who can pass along side by side, which is difficult to attack. Therefore, many people estimate that Yan and Li will probably lead the main force to attack the Dongfan, burn, kill and loot, and a small number of people will restrain the Penghu navy to prevent the Nan'an Mansion from raiding from behind. Apart from this, there is no other way of fighting."
"In your opinion, how do you calculate the outcome?"
"Fight steadily," Kang Maocai said a little depressedly: "Thousands of people and more than a hundred warships involved Penghu, more than 20,000 people, landed onshore with ships of all sizes and sizes. There were some shore defense fortresses in the East Vanguard, but they still couldn't defend them. If the Nan'an Marquis Mansion of the East Vanguard gathered the main force and fought against Yan Qi and Li Dan head-on on the shore, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion had only 30% chance of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. Even if his seven thousand men were all the strength of the imperial guards, the Dong'an Marquis Mansion had not many armors, poor weapons, and far less equipment than the imperial guards. Yan and Li occupied various places in Luzon. They have been training in the past two years and have robbed and killed people everywhere. The subordinates have fought at sea for many years, brave and violent, and have trained by the method of battle formations and attacked them twice. If the Nan'an Marquis Mansion wanted to fight head-on with a dignified formation, the son would probably have lost more than defeat."
Kang Tianqi smiled and said, "More than 7,000 government troops, more than 500 cavalry and more than 1,000 wing troops can still mobilize thousands of people and strong people, and the number of people is almost the same."
Kang Maocai said with some dissatisfaction: "My father wants to get his son's test, so he can use a good question at least. Yan Qi and Li Dan's subordinates are both pirates who have been fighting with others for many years. The Nan'an Prefecture Army is good. Chen Yutai and others are not their opponents, but they are weak in the beginning. How can they compare with Yan Qi and the others? Chen Yutai is like at most a small leader in Luzon. More than 20,000 pirates came ashore, and the powerful people were used to increase the number of people? Isn't this giving the pirates a head?"
"So, as you said, what should I do to have a chance?"
"Let's clear the world." Kang Maocai said: "I know that the Dongfan development looks very much. They invested more than one million guan. If it is destroyed, it will not be able to get enough money for two or three years. I also doubt where Nan'an Marquis will go to find such money? But it is better to survive than to be beaten to death by someone with a stick? Strengthen the world and clear the world, avoid fighting, and move the islanders into the mountains for a while. There is no food on the island and there is nothing to grab. If it is delayed for a long time, the pirates will be unstable, and Yan Qi and Li Dan will not be able to suppress them. This is the only opportunity. When Yan Qi and Li Dan leave, they will come out to clean up the mess. Maybe they will fight to the end and make some battle results to the outside world. This is the best result."
Kang Tianqi smiled and said, "In my son's opinion, what kind of strategy will Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an, use?"
Tang Maocai hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "Xu Zixian rose very quickly. He seemed to be a reckless man, but in fact he had a good sense of strategy. He had agreed with us and had a way to get the Japanese. In the future, as long as he planted cotton fields and produced cloth, he could earn hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan a year. Why fight to the death with others? He should learn from Han Xin and endure temporary humiliation. There will still be a chance to revenge in the future. If he can't bear it now, he will probably never have a chance."
Kang Tianqi laughed a few times, but later he couldn't help laughing.
Kang Maocai's face was pale and unstable. If someone else had laughed at him like this, he would have pulled out the Japanese sword from his waist and slashed him towards him. The one who laughed at him was his biological son and the commander of the tribe. Don't laugh at him. Even if Kang Tianqi ordered the young men to come in now and drag him out to whip him, Kang Maocai could only endure it.
You should know that there is no serious wife like Kang Tianqi, but there are dozens of concubines. Kang Maocai has about ten brothers. He is not the biggest or the most favored one. It is just because his ability is superior among the brothers that he gradually becomes the heir to the Kang family. If he loses Kang Tianqi's trust, he may die miserably in the future.
Other brothers have no heirs or threats. If they cannot inherit their positions, they will live a life as a rich man. Kang Maocai has been in such a position. He knows that no matter which brother takes his position in the future, the first thing he needs to do after taking office is to completely destroy Kang Maocai from his body to his soul.
If it were him, he would have done the same.
What kind of brotherhood does it have the power to control more than 100,000 tribes?
Not to mention the Kang family, those Japanese daimyos that only earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of stones, killing each other, killing each other, or even killing fathers and sons, are nothing great.
Kang Maocai didn't dare to ignore his father's laughter. When he saw Kang Tianqi's eyes cold, he had no smile at all.
Then Kang Tianqi stood up, his hair and beard were all white, but his body was still strong, his back was wide and thick, and his waist was straight. After he stood up, he suddenly pulled out his sword, and the sharp Japanese sword was narrow, long and thick. Kang Tianqi used the sharp blade to add it to Kang Maocai's neck.
When a few little men heard the movement, they pushed the door to see it. Seeing this, they retreated silently.
Kang Maocai has just taken over the power, but in front of his father who has been afraid since childhood, there is no slightest idea of resistance. Although he is so scared that he can only feel the blade and neck, and the neck is cold, but he dare not move at all. He just whispered: "Don't my father be happy when he hears it?"
"I'm not very happy." Kang Tianqi swept the blade past, and the sharp long knife cut off a strand of Kang Maocai's hair. Kang Tianqi seemed unwilling to accept it, but he still put it away.
Kang Tianqi sat down and shook his head and smiled, "I have never been afraid in my life. I don't know what to endure humiliation for a moment. At the time, the captain was a Luzon man on a boat. He didn't like Wei people like me. Once, he insulted me in public. If it were someone else, I would have to endure it. But my mind was hot and my blood surged. I took out a knife from my arms and rushed forward and slapped a few times. The captain's blood flowed and died on the spot. His subordinates were all Kong Wuhanzi. At that time, I thought I was dead. I was either tied up and fed sharks in the sea or chopped me to pieces. Unexpectedly, everyone was stunned at that time. Later, I saw that my face and body were covered with blood, and I was holding a knife with blood in my hands. Those people were afraid and knelt down one by one. Then I had the first ship, and I really became the owner of the ship, and achieved the current achievements."
Kang Tianqi patted his son's shoulder and signaled Kang Mao to sit down.
Kang Tianqi continued: "I expected that Nan'an Hou would not retreat. I think his actions would be able to accomplish great things. People who can make great things will give in when they can give in, and they will not be reckless. But when they cannot retreat, they will never retreat, and they would rather die than retreat. Just like the matter of the Dongfan, it is a small matter to invest millions of coins, but it depends on whether these million coins can be raised in the short term. According to what you said, he cannot raise millions of coins. In this way, Yan Qi and Li Dan are digging Xu Zixian's foundation and digging a hole for him. He lie down and dies. If he fights, he may not die.
If a man is a husband, how could he lie down without fighting? His cotton fields and residential houses took more than half a year and spent millions of money to build them, and the pirates would definitely destroy all of them. The price could not be afforded by the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. He could continue to do business, but whether it was us, the Japanese, the Fujian, the Lanfang people of Nanyang, and the Sanfoqi people, who would recognize the Marquis of the Great Wei who would be a turtle when a strong enemy attacked? The Marquis of Nan'an will be difficult at that time! This is still a trivial matter. If Yan Qi and Li Dan will attack again next year?"
Kang Maocai said: "If they don't get any benefits in this battle, why are they coming next year?"
Kang Tianqi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Yan Qi and Li Dan want to rob, where can't they? Why should we gather a large army to rob the lords of the Great Wei Dynasty, or on a deserted island? This is what Pu Xingfeng means. The Pu family is not pure merchants or pirates. They are the pioneers who pioneered the way for the Tianfang Kingdom. Pu Shougao was made hard by the Marquis of Nan'an, and was covered in dust. Now he hides in Fuzhou and dares not show up. Chen Yutai is the chess piece that the Pu family placed outside Fuzhou, and was also removed by Nan'an. Now Xu Zi first reclaims the land in the Dongfan.
Once developed, it will be more threatening than the bureaucrats on Fujian Road. The Pu family is Tianfang, whose ambitions are not only the Three Buddhas, Lanfang, but also Luzon, Japan, Siam, and until the Great Wei. They want to steal the Dongfan, not for a few copper coins, but for the general trend of the world. Once this year, I dare to gamble for one billion yuan, and they will definitely come again next year. Once a year, the Marquis of Nan'an simply hides back to Fuzhou. But from now on, don't mention any great ambitions and be a rich man for the rest of his life."
