"How can this be possible? What is this Chu Cai Lao? At the beginning of last year, he raised a large number of troops and came to attack our Nanri Island. Don't forget, Mr. Chu Cai Lao, you were in a higher risk with cannons.
The wall collapsed and they were buried alive!
How can we sell them cannons now? I sold some cannons to Yan Siqi before, but that was fine, but Chu Cai always said he couldn't give them anything!"
As soon as everyone heard that Yu Xiaotian was going to sell cannons to Mr. Chu Cai, they were like throwing a firecracker into a hornet's nest, exploding the nest.
Liu Laoliu had the greatest reputation and jumped up on the spot to object to Yu Xiaotian selling cannon to Mr. Chu Cai.
As for other people, especially those in the military system, whether they were marines or soldiers, they all seemed to be trapped. They jumped up and protested loudly, saying that the cannon can be sold to anyone, but it cannot be sold to Mr. Chu Cai.
Yu Xiaotian knew that he would encounter such protests and let them express their dissatisfaction, but when his eyes moved, he saw Lin Yiyang with a smile on his lips, sitting aside and never making a sound, as if this matter
It has nothing to do with him.
In addition, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi in the council hall did not express any objection, they just sat there silently.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian nodded. The reason why he wanted to put this kind of thing on the table and let his subordinates know was not that he had to ask his subordinates for their opinions on everything, but that in this way, he wanted to touch
After understanding the thoughts of his subordinates, of course, the final decision-making power rests with him.
The most important thing is that when he makes a major decision, his subordinates don't know why he did it. They are privately dissatisfied with the decision he made and make various noises below, causing internal cracks. Once
It doesn't matter if it happens twice. If time goes by, this dissatisfaction will accumulate and eventually turn people against each other.
So when there is something more important that requires him to make up his mind, after he has thought it through, he usually gathers his subordinates together, first asks their opinions, understands their thoughts, and then tells them his decision.
, and why he did it.
In this way, his subordinates can eliminate the problem at this time, unify their understanding, and save themselves from making random complaints among the subordinates below.
After everyone had expressed their stance, Yu Xiaotian coughed slightly and turned to look at the people in the council hall. He knew very well what these people were thinking.
From the end of last year to now, they have made huge profits from the arms transaction with Yan Siqi. The cannons sold to Yan Siqi have made the council a lot of money.
The Council is in charge of Sea Wolf's food, drink, toilet, and sleep. There are places where money is spent everywhere. They never complain about the lack of money, not the abundance of money. As long as they can make money, they are willing to do it. The reason why they opposed it before
, but they have not tasted the sweetness from it. Once they have tasted the sweetness, now it is Yu Xiaotian who wants to sell the arms to the imperial court, and they are probably willing to do it.
So this time Yu Xiaotian planned to sell cannons to Mr. Chu Cai. What they were considering was not whether Mr. Chu Cai would use these cannons to turn around and deal with them, nor whether Mr. Chu Cai was their former enemy.
They began to make small calculations, and began to think about how many cannons they should sell to Mr. Chu Cai, what model and how much each one, and how much money they could earn from this transaction.
Lin Yiyang's attitude, on the other hand, seemed very ambiguous at the moment, but Xiaotian could roughly guess that Lin Yiyang must have seen through his thoughts, so he didn't speak randomly or express his position.
"Mr. Lin! Why haven't you spoken?" Yu Xiaotian asked Lin Yiyang.
Lin Yiyang heard Yu Xiaotian call his name, so he quickly stood up and lowered his hands and replied: "I have no opinion, so I have nothing to say! I am willing to listen to the decision of the master!"
"Oh? What are these words? What does it mean to have no opinion? So do you support selling the cannon to Mr. Chu Cai, or do you oppose it? I don't want to hear what you say. You have no opinion. Tell me, do you support or oppose it?
?" Yu Xiaotian saw that Lin Yiyang was playing tricks, but he did not give him a chance and insisted on making a clear statement.
Lin Yiyang had no choice but to speak now, so he had to reply: "I support selling cannons to Mr. Chu Cai!..."
After hearing Lin Yiyang's words, everyone below immediately became buzzing again. Liu Laoliu looked unhappy and felt that Lin Yiyang was a little out of his mind.
"Everyone, please listen to what I'm saying next! I have the same opinion as the leader. Although Mr. Chu Cai was once our enemy and owed us a blood debt, in other words, Mr. Chu Cai paid a greater price.
As a result, he, a big boss at sea, has been reduced to a second-rate player after the battle on Nanri Island!
At the moment, we have no plans to go south. Mr. Chu Cai has been accommodating and respectful to us for more than a year, so this enemy is no longer our enemy for the time being!
On the contrary, it is Zheng Yiguan who is aggressive and wants to expand his power, and Zheng Yiguan is our threat now.
But Zheng Yiguan is temporarily restrained by Yan Siqi and is afraid of our strength, so he dare not fight with us for the time being, and can only compete with Chu Cai for territory!"
Speaking of this, Lin Yiyang paused deliberately.
Liu Laoliu then said: "They are the best dog-eating dogs. If a dog bites a dog, it will be a hair in its mouth. No one will feel bad if it kills anyone! Just let them bite!"
Lin Yiyang shook his head and said: "Otherwise! Although it is true, it also depends on who is strong and who is weak! It seems that Chu Cai is not weak, but after the battle on Nanri Island, Chu Cai's strength declined greatly. As a
The latecomer Zheng Yiguan is in the limelight, and Zheng Yiguan has a wider path. He has a close relationship with the Folangji people in Haojing'ao. He himself has been baptized and is a Catholic, so he is quite popular among the Catholic Church.
support.
Therefore, he could buy Hongyi cannons that others could not buy, but Chu Cai Lao could not. He could only rest on his laurels and rely on his savings to fight against Zheng Yiguan. During this period, he gradually lost ground.
As time goes by, Chu Cailao may fall apart, and Zheng Yiguan will then seize a large territory and have stronger strength.
This is not what the boss wants to see, so I think we can sell Chu Cai Lao some cannons so that Chu Cai Lao can regain some strength and be able to fight against Zheng Yiguan.
What's more, we only teach him weapons, not how to forge cannons. Mr. Chu Cai wants to rely on the cannons we sold him to fight us in the future. He is not our opponent at all, so in this regard
Don’t worry too much!
On the contrary, only after Mr. Chu Cai gets hold of our cannon can he know how powerful we are, and he will not dare to offend us easily.
It is better to let someone who is beneficial to us control the sea surface in Zhangzhou and Chaozhou than to let someone who is hostile to us control it!
So I support this matter!"
After hearing what Lin Yiyang said, those who objected began to lower their heads and think about it. Some people 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 smiled and clapped his hands, nodded repeatedly and said, "Well said! Mr. Lin knows me well!"
Mr. Lin said very well! We would rather let someone who surrendered to us occupy the Zhangchao Sea than watch Zheng Yiguan occupy it. What's more, Mr. Chu Cai has a lot of money, and other people who were captured by Zheng Yiguan
Get rid of it, this money falls into Zheng Yiguan's bag, it would be better to put it in our pockets first!
Mr. Chu Cai is indeed our enemy, but that was in the past! Even if we want to deal with him in the future, we can always deal with him! But our focus now is not on how much territory we occupy, but on concentrating our strength to defend the current situation.
I will vigorously develop the freshwater and chicken coop areas. If possible, I would like to develop southward next, because the southern part of Taiyuan Island is more suitable for farming, and the environment there is better than the north!
So now we need Mr. Chu Cai to restrain Zheng Yiguan for us, because Zheng Yiguan is one of our biggest enemies. This man is ruthless and young and energetic. Once he grows stronger, he will become our strongest enemy.
opponent.
Yan Siqi alone may not be enough to deal with Zheng Yiguan. Once Zheng Yiguan kills Mr. Chu Cai, it will only do us harm but no good!
You should always remember that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Zheng Yiguan is our enemy now, so those who are against Zheng Yiguan are our friends! Even if Mr. Chu Cai was once our enemy, he can still become our enemy.
Our friends, because we have a common enemy!
Rather than carrying our swords and going into battle to fight Zheng Yiguan, I would rather let Mr. Chu Cai go first. As my father-in-law said, if a dog bites a dog, let them bite it! But the prerequisite is not to let a dog
If a dog is bitten to death, if the dog is weak, we will help him. If one dog bites another dog to death, it will not be fun!
We need to temporarily suppress the chaos over there, the more chaotic the better, they can be very chaotic in order to disperse our pressure. Don't forget that Zhu Yifeng, the current master of Futai, Fujian, is working hard and sharpening his sword. They are tossing in southern Fujian.
, Zhu Yifeng had to consider who to attack.
What about father-in-law? After listening to what we said, do you think this gun should be sold to Mr. Chu Cai, or should it not be sold to him?"
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Liu Laoliu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, you are right! According to what you said, I now feel that if this cannon is not sold to Mr. Chu Cai, it will
That’s wrong! Forget it, just sell it to him! But the price can’t be low! You have to kill him hard no matter what!”
"Haha! This is easy to say, easy to say! It will definitely not come cheap to them!" Yu Xiaotian burst out laughing.
