Chapter 590
"Wang Baihu, please don't come?" Ma Ang walked into the living room with big strides, and greeted with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
"If you have any questions, the Governor General is concerned, and his humble position is really a thought of the inner world." Wang Hai felt warm in his heart. Although he didn't have much contact, through his previous observation and understanding of Xie Hong, he knew that the other party was not the kind of hypocritical person.
In Jiangnan's reputation, Xie Hong and his subordinates were described as vulgar scoundrels, and even the current emperor was included in this category. However, when it comes to Zhengde, they usually use a more obscure statement.
The same words are different in the ears of different people. In Wang Hai's opinion, this sentence clearly means that Xie Hong does not value vain etiquette, but only focuses on effectiveness. It is the appetite for him, a person who has never read books. After experiencing some struggle in his heart, Wang Hai's gratitude was also sincere when he saw Ma Ang's enthusiastic attitude.
When he was talking to the Koreans, Ma Ang said a lot of nonsense. It was not only his nature, but also his opportunity to take advantage of it. Anyway, the other party could only listen to whatever he said, and the other party could only bear whatever he did. How could there be more comfortable things than that?
When talking to his own people, especially when he talks about serious matters, he becomes concise.
Of course, this is also due to the situation. In recent months, the affairs of the Governor's Office have increased sharply. Ma Ang has had a very deep understanding of the concept of Xie Hong's growth. If he hadn't known that there was no one on Xie Hong's side, it would be too late to regret it now. He really wanted to quit.
It is of course a pleasure to be a governor, but it is not interesting to be a governor like this now. It is too hard to be a governor.
"Wang Baihu, please sit for a while, and wait for the official to explain to Zheng Qianhu first." There are quite a lot of people in the Jiangnan sea business, and Ma Ang's courage to delegate power is the same as Xie Hong, so he still shared some of the burden.
"I will leave first." Wang Hai was very self-aware. He knew that Ma Ang wanted to tell Zheng Long Fangluo that he would not dare to listen, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye.
"Hey, they are all their own people. Wang Baihu just sits by and listens."
Ma Ang waved his hand and signaled Wang Hai not to avoid it. After thinking about it, he continued: "When the Jiangnan incident comes, you must be alone. Listen more. The strategies implemented by the Governor's Office are also the future overseas strategies of the Ming Dynasty. Now it is a pilot project. We are about to discuss them together."
"Thank you, sir, then... it's better to obey your duties than to be respectful." Wang Hai was so excited and excited, mostly because of Ma Ang's trust, and partly because of his yearning for the future. The Japanese and Korean countries were just pilot projects, so the overseas strategies included are probably not ordinary.
An old sailor like Wang Hai, of course, knows what the concept of overseas is. In addition to the East China Sea, there is also Luzon to the south. In Luzon, the West where the Sanbao Eunuch went to.
It is difficult to tell how big it is, even the oldest elder in Jiangnan or the most knowledgeable person, but Wang Hai is very clear that as long as the Ming Dynasty makes up its mind to seize it, there will be endless wealth there, which is an unquestionable fact.
In recent years, Wang Hai has been looking forward to resurrecting, but the reason is not that he is tired of sailing, but that he is tired of the life he had before.
In the Ming Dynasty, he could only be a servant with a down-eyed look on his face. When he went to sea, he had to leave the port sneakily. When he arrived in Japan, he still had to be worried. Sometimes those Japanese could maintain their rationality, but without the strength to suppress them, no one knew when they would go crazy, even the Matsuura Party, which had always cooperated well.
The only thing that makes him feel refreshed is probably the only time on the road. The vast sea makes him feel the taste of freedom. However, even at this time, he still cannot take it lightly, because the navigation itself contains huge risks. If you are not careful, the ship may fall into trouble.
If it is just a risk of navigation itself, he has nothing to complain about. Since he sets his sails out of the sea, he must of course be aware of it. But in fact, this risk is also artificially caused to a certain extent.
As the saying goes: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The risk of navigation depends largely on the ship. Wang Hai had no idea what the treasure ship in the era of the Three Treasures and Eunuchs, but the Wang family has been sailors for generations. He knew very well that over the past few decades, the lucky ship has become smaller and less useful.
The technology of building large ships is still circulated in Jiangnan, and materials are easy to find, but the scale of the ship is a sea ban that is in name only. The Jiangnan family has to set up a archway when they become bitches. They obviously have to trade in seas in private, but they have to say something about justice in the court. Therefore, for their sake, for their appearance, Wang Hai's depression became inevitable.
The large ship has a deep draft and high demands on ports, so it is difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears. Of course, it will not be liked by the adults of aristocratic families. Anyway, they are not themselves who go out to sea to face the storm. Who will care about the life or death of the servants? As long as there is silver in the account, it's enough. If they weren't afraid that wealth would be wasted, they would want to let someone take a small sampan to go out to sea for trade.
Ma Ang's words were very simple, but it was heard in Wang Hai's ears, which made his spirit quickly excited.
Learning civil and martial arts and selling with the imperial family, the Tian family used to only value the things that Wang Hai did not have and had no chance to own, but now the world has changed, and navigation technology and personal work have also been staged to display. He can also use this to win a favor with his wife. How can he not be excited?
"Zheng Qianhu, the fleet is about to set sail, and all 500 cavalry have boarded the ship... In your opinion, is the Changwei family trustworthy? Do you have the ambition to expand to Jiafei?" Ma Ang felt Wang Hai's excitement, but he had no time to pay attention. The fleet was ready to go, and he had to confirm the intention of the partner at the last time.
Even if the Mongolian cavalry were all cheated, Ma Ang didn't feel sorry for him. However, after suffering such losses, it would be difficult for Jia Fei to do it. He wouldn't borrow it from North Korea again? Brother Xie said that such things should sometimes come for a while, and the frequency should not be too high, so as not to ruin the stick. It would be enough to come once a year or two.
"That Master Wei Jing is an ambitious person. He has been trying to unify Echizen, but his strength is just not good. If he can get five hundred cavalry help and attack Jia Fei, he should have the determination to attack Jia Fei, and he also recognized Sado's belonging. However, he said sincerity... but his subordinates cannot be completely sure."
When Echigo came back, Ma Ang had already confirmed with Zheng Long once, but that time was not as serious as this time, so Zheng Long was a little hesitant at this time.
"It's okay, keep talking..." Ma Ang raised his eyebrows and saw that Zheng Long was still not finished speaking.
"It's the thing that the lord wants his subordinates to ask..." Zheng Long secretly looked at Ma Ang's expression, but saw the other party staring at him with a serious expression. He knew that he could not avoid it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "It's that Hu Chiyo..."
"Oh?" Ma Ang was stunned.
"Sir, generally speaking, Japanese girls will not give this kind of name. Moreover, Changwei Jing just inherited the position of family governor last year, and now there is no heir, let alone daughter. What the subordinates see does not seem to be fake..." Zheng Long said embarrassedly: "However, since it is the Marquis' inquiry, maybe it is because Jingcheng Mansion is too deep, so it is unknown if the subordinates can't see through it."
"How is that?" Ma Ang pinched his eyebrows and had a headache.
This matter was explained by Xie Hong before leaving. It was the same as that Maori Yuan. He also predicted the Tsuchiyo of the Nagata family and specifically explained that if there was such a girl, no matter how old she was, she would bring her island and send it to Liaodong so that he could see it and serve the other party.
Xie Hong's statement is very strange. In Japan, Yuanfu is a boy's coming-of-age ceremony, and girls' names generally do not have the word "tiger". However, because he has too many magical places, neither Ma Ang nor Zheng Long, who received Ma Ang's order, he did not doubt it. Anyway, the Marquis has great magical powers and will never say it wrong.
Therefore, Zheng Long was very embarrassed and could not confirm the sincerity of the Changwei family. Ma Ang was also a little dizzy, no matter what age he was? When did Brother Xie become so cruel? In theory, Brother Xie is not a lustful person either.
Of course they didn't know that Xie Hong was just a otakus and wanted to confirm whether the Uesugi sister in the game really existed.
The burning of Xiaguan Port was actually a resentment from later generations. Xiaguan, also known as Maguan, was the place where after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the place where the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" signed with Japan that was humiliating and humiliating. Xie Hong originally planned to give the other person the other way, but in Japan in this era, he really couldn't find an authoritative person to sign this thing, so he simply burned it and knocked it down.
"Forget it, this matter is nothing. Maybe Hu Chiyo is too young, so the long tail is reluctant to give up for the scenery..." Ma Ang sighed, the young girl who even the Japanese couldn't give up... Alas, brother-in-law, you are so cruel.
"Prepare as planned, Zheng Qianhu, then you will stay there. While urging the expansion of the Changwei family, you will also have to support the maritime businessmen in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, you must also take into account the mining progress of Sado Island. Well, then you will have to work hard."
"I should do my best to repay the kindness of God and the trust of my Lord." Zheng Long stood up and folded his fists, responded with a sigh, nodded to Wang Hai, and then turned around and left.
Although he didn't fully understand the conversation between the two, Wang Hai still felt very powerful. On the land of other countries, he robbed money, mines, and women must be the daughter of the local lord, and they are also called princesses in the local area. Isn't that amazing?
"Wang Baihu, you are here this time..." As he was excited, Ma Ang had turned to him and asked him directly about the purpose of his trip.
Wang Hai did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly calmed down and replied seriously: "This time, I was because I heard of the natural disaster in Liaodong, so... Unexpectedly, the Marquis had already reversed the situation. He had no choice but to plan and had to send it out. His fleet is now docking in Kagoshima, with food on it."
"Oh? Wang Baihu is really a person of thought. I thank you for my marquis and the people of Liaodong." Ma Ang's eyes lit up. He originally thought that Wang Hai would return if he reported the letter or revealed his identity. Unexpectedly, there would be unexpected gains. He laughed and said, "Although there is no shortage of food in Liaodong, for me, Wang Baihu came very timely and should remember a great achievement.
"Sir, is it... the Governor's Office still provides food to those Japanese names?" Wang Hai was overjoyed when he heard this. He was very familiar with the situation in Japan, otherwise he would not have made this suggestion to deceive Wang Ergong, so he immediately thought of what Ma Ang meant.
"Wang Baihu is indeed extremely smart and has a quick response." Ma Ang praised: "In the Japanese strategy set by my marquis, it is a two-pronged approach, taking advantage of the troubled waters, and slowly drawing blood from Japan to achieve the goal of weakening the enemy and enriching oneself."
After a pause, he continued: "The food matter is easy to talk about. In order not to arouse the doubts of other people in the fleet, you just sell it to the Shimazu family, and the things you want are easy to handle. This official will send a message to the Daming of Kyushu to let them buy them as soon as possible... But in Jiangnan, Wang Baihu, you came from Jiangnan, have you discovered any abnormalities?"
"Sir, wise." The meaning of Ma Ang's words was to let him turn to Jiangnan as an undercover agent. If Wang Hai had been a little confused and disappointed before the conversation just now, but now he was full of energy. The Marquis would reward him for his contributions. The more he paid now, the more he would gain in the future.
"The great families in Jiangnan have all changed..." After his thoughts were settled, Wang Hai said his discoveries and speculations without reservation.
"First of all, the fleet and sailors... Secondly, the pirates in Zhoushan suddenly stopped and seemed to have been bribed by the aristocratic family. The pirates in the South China Sea led by the Xu brothers seemed to be still watching, but from the subordinates, they were afraid they had already moved, otherwise they would not have suddenly moved to the Yachong Mountain area."
"Well, it turns out that they were the ones who came to test before. The Xu brothers are considered personalities. It seems that they really need to be strictly guarded." Ma Ang sneered.
"I dare to teach you, and I still have some speculations..." Wang Hai gradually became relaxed.
"Tell me." Ma Ang continued to be concise and concise.
"Before my subordinates set off, I heard such a thing in Ningbo......"
"Guangdong? What's there?" Ma Ang frowned. He didn't know anything about the south, but he understood the strangeness of the matter.
"Based on the speculation of his subordinates, the fleet's target is likely to be... Guangdong Navy."
"Maritime merchants, pirates, even the navy emerged. Humph, it was true that the people of Jiangnan were holding back their energy and were ready to take a desperate attack." Ma Ang snorted coldly and suddenly asked: "Wang Baihu, in your opinion, when will the Jiangnan be launched and where will the direction be launched?"
The boss generally refers to a considerable degree of attention when asking his subordinates. Wang Hai cheered up and immediately replied: "It is not easy for the specific time for subordinates to determine, but according to the current situation, the fastest will be next spring. If you are well prepared, it is likely that the direction will be next spring and summer next year..."
He thought about it and shook his head with uncertainty:
"In the opinion of their subordinates, the aristocratic family and the pirates have not reached an agreement. The pirates in the South China Sea must have planned to come to the five islands. The aristocratic family thinks further and should pay more attention to the marquis' side, but there are also a lot of noises inside them, so it is difficult to judge. However, the subordinates have a way to make them determined to attack Lushun, but they just don't know the marquis' side..."
"There is no need to worry too much over there, it's okay if you talk." Ma Ang waved his hand and was very interested in Wang Hai's plan.
Wang Yang and others felt that they had worked hard on the decisive battle in the Five Islands. In fact, Xie Hong was also in trouble. The time for the decisive battle here was not yet ripe, but it was not a solution if the route was cut off. Although the opponent's intention to attack Lushun was stronger, it was speculation after all, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents, and Xie Hong was not sure, so it was a trouble if this matter was not big or small.
"Whether pirates or aristocratic families, most people who want to attack the five islands value immediate interests. Nowadays, as long as their subordinates return to the voyage and spread the news, they will surely strengthen their determination to attack Lushun." This is what Wang Hailingguang thought of.
Ma Ang pondered for a moment and nodded, "This plan is very good, but Wang Baihu, you came out privately. If you go back like this..."
"If I had been before, my subordinates would have lost their lives, but now the Wang family is employed, so I guess the handling will not be too serious. As long as I do not die, my subordinates can wait for the day when the Marquis clears the sky. Even if there is a plan for the world, in order to repay the Marquis' trust, my subordinates will not refuse." Wang Hai replied with a determined look on his face.
"Then, I promise you here. If there is really an accident, Wang Baihu doesn't need to worry about your family. I will have my own responsibility for you."
"Thank you, sir."
