Chapter 116 Mercenaries

Helping the Southern Song court to defend is a bit irrelevant. It has to contact and cooperate with the Southern Song court. Maybe it has to involve who commands whom. Hong Tao doesn't want to hand over his fleet to the group of literati in the Southern Song Dynasty to command blindly, so it is still a problem whether he is willing to let himself help defend. Now, I don't care about you at all. Let's go to the Mongolian rear to make trouble. Don't quarrel with me. If you say too much, I will destroy your city together. We just want to help this era, but we don't say we have to help a certain emperor or a certain court.

"Sir, if possible, can you lend me a sailboat? I can recruit sailors to go home by myself. If you want to fight, I promise that I can help you hire the most elite knights in the empire. The price is not too high, so that you will have an invincible army on land." Carl went around and wanted to go home. In order to convince Hong Tao, he actually wanted to find mercenaries for Hong Tao to Europe.

"Mercenary! Fuck! Carl, you are simply my dog-headed military advisor. Landing war and mercenary... Let me think about it. In this way, I only need to build a warship and prepare enough money and materials. The difficulty is reduced a lot!" Hong Tao heard another word that made him very excited. If he followed this idea, the burden on his shoulders would be much lighter. Building ships and making money is his long term, while training the army is his shortcomings.

"Sir... Sir, what about my boat?" Karl didn't care about the Mongols or Mongolians. He only cared about when he could go home.

"Boat! Oh, yes, boat... let's do it, I promise you that you will definitely take you home within five years. From today's perspective, it's not that I don't want to lend you a boat, but that you can't go back at all by yourself. You don't know the route. I will send you back in person and then recruit mercenaries from you. You won't lie to me, right? Someone is willing to follow me to fight in a foreign country and a foreign country. I don't know if I can go back?" Hong Tao felt that he had to go to Europe, not only to find mercenaries from Europe, but also to North Africa and Egypt. Anyway, he would find them wherever there was an army and get them all back. He wanted to bring an Eight-Nation Alliance for the Mongols. I think you are afraid!

"I swear in the reputation of the royal family that as long as you can pay a few cans of whale oil, you can get the loyalty of a down-and-out knight. The final amount depends on how much money you have. If you don't believe me, I can stay here as a hostage. After the first batch of knights are transported back, I will follow the ship home!" Carl didn't say much nonsense, and the kacked the ground on one leg again, swearing to the sky, and even took him as a hostage.

"Whether you swear or not has nothing to do with whether I believe you or not. OK, go to bed, just stare at me, and help me get the oil lamp and paper and pen." Hong Tao felt much more happy. Regardless of whether the problem was really solved, he felt that he had a clear direction, which was enough. Now he was not worried, but was full of energy. This game is very fun. You must plan carefully and strive to pass the level successfully. Otherwise, the Sun Thief in the sky might throw himself to what dynasty next time. If he went to the Shang Dynasty, he would be really shocked and he knew nothing about that period of history.

When the rooster crows came from the shore, a figure swayed on the back deck of the Predator, and Hong Tao stalked on the back deck for half a night. Looking at the more than ten pieces of whale scutellar paper in front of him, he was a little confident. But he had been kneeling for a long time, and his waist and neck were almost unable to turn. He was about to dawn, so he should stop sleeping. He might as well have a set of radio gymnastics on the deck.

Luo Youde is very efficient in his work. Before Hong Tao finished his breakfast, he took a group of people to carry it on his shoulders, carry it, and the car was pulled to the dock. After getting a springboard, he started loading the goods on the ship. All the goods on Hong Tao's list have been purchased. Three farmers and blacksmiths are refugees from the north. They have signed a five-year contract with Luo Youde and don't even ask where they go. As long as they give food and wages, they will carry a small bag and follow you. They really can't survive.

"Old Luo, what if these people can't come back in five years? For example, what should I do if something happened to the sailboat and drowned in the sea?" Hong Tao didn't want to harm Luo Youde. He didn't want to let these five people come back at all. If Luo Youde will sue at that time, then he has to find another way. He can't just drag Luo Youde into it.

"They all have no family members. I will take some money to the Yashang to cancel these contracts as long as no one pursues them. Brother Hong... are you hiding something from brother, right?" Luo Youde thought more thoroughly than Hong Tao, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, Lao Luo! I won't harm you. It's a little early to tell you about this. When I make a mistake, I will not only tell you, but also bring you into the group." Hong Tao did not deny anything, but it still doesn't mean that everyone is adults, and there is no need to hide it. As long as the chain of interests is there, the relationship will be harmonious, and everything else is nonsense.

"Then I wish Brother Hong everything goes well!" Luo Youde didn't expect Hong Tao to tell himself what he was doing. Hearing Hong Tao say this, don't ask.

"Uncle, you don't know what he is doing, right?" Seeing Hong Tao's ship loading the goods and people, he pulled up the sails and left the port without delay. Luo Youde stood by the dock, waved his goodbye, and asked Luo Dacai beside him in a low voice.

"I don't know. This person is very meticulous. The Han family on the island probably doesn't know what he is doing. He has basically not been on the island in the past two months, and the whaling matter has not been delayed, but he doesn't know what he is doing. I think he is probably operating his own industry. These goods are all daily necessities, and there are a large number of them. There are farmers and blacksmiths. Where do you need to use these?" Luo Dacai roughly explained Hong Tao's movements over the past few months. He had long doubted it, but could not confirm that when he arrived at the sea, basically no one could do anything to Hong Tao, and the Han family would not say a word to him.

"He might find a place to live on the sea, and those sacred families are his forces... I didn't expect that a sacred family would have such ability. In time, he might become a domineering sea. How should I get along with him then?" Luo Youde thought for a longer time. He had already felt that he could not control Hong Tao. Since Hong Tao built that weird little sailboat, he had this feeling. Now Hong Tao has a larger sailboat, and he felt more certain. What is the most important thing in the sea? That is the ship and the captain. Luo Youde, who has been running on the sea all year round, is very clear about who has a good boat and a good captain, and who has the final say on the sea. Hong Tao just meets these two conditions, and he has a group of loyal sacred families around him, which is like adding a pair of wings to Hong Tao.

"As long as he doesn't take those priests with those priests, it's all right! I think he values ​​you very much, and I don't know what he thinks. With these objects in his hand, he doesn't look for bigger merchants. What are we going to do?" Luo Dacai has never had a good impression of Hong Tao. This is called a false appearance. He looks at each other at first sight and will never change it in his life.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. He is a good partner... Partner, hehe, this word is very interesting." Luo Youde couldn't understand this issue, so he simply stopped thinking about it. In fact, he was the one who benefited the most from his cooperation with Hong Tao. Not only did he make enough profits with Hong Tao's whale oil, but he also created his own industry. As long as he has been stable for a while, he can't rely on the Luo family's business in Qiongzhou and be truly. If he is not satisfied, he is really a bit too greedy. Given what he knows about Hong Tao, he dare not play too much tricks with Hong Tao. People who cannot figure it out are the most terrifying.

Hong Tao didn't care what Luo Youde thought, just thought Luo Dacai said, now he had a foundation, without Luo Youde, it would be the same if he had Sun Youde, Zhang Youde would be the same. However, Hong Tao was a very nostalgic person. As long as Luo Youde did not harm his own interests, he would continue to cooperate with him. The better he did in the Southern Song Dynasty, the more beneficial he would be to him. To use each other, love is the most unreliable thing. Only when interests are consistent first can one talk about love, otherwise the love will become weaker and weaker, and in the end he will be in love and become an enemy.

If you want to cooperate with others for a long time, you have to level up your position and ability with the other party first. Only when both sides are evenly matched can you balance this cooperative relationship, and the more balanced the more stable it is. At present, Hong Tao is strengthening his abilities and raising his status. As long as he sets up the base in Jinhewan, he will have the ability to compete with any maritime merchant in the Southern Song Dynasty. If he does business with, the other party should not plan to take advantage of himself.
