Chapter 239 The ghost is coming
In the end, Zhengliang used his annual salary of ten taels of gold and the land of the three rebellions to settle the family, and eventually hired Ander as the iron cannon general of the Luo family.
After hearing that Zhengliang provided such generous treatment and had a war to fight, Ander sold his soul to Zhengliang without hesitation. He was a calm guy on the outside but a fanatical heart, especially after adhering to the unique aristocratic temperament of Europe, he was particularly keen to make achievements on the battlefield to reflect his own value. Zhu Qinfeng's plan was too illusory for him. In front of the powerful Spaniards, he could not see any hope. However, Zhengliang painted him another attractive blueprint and allowed him to see hope, so he became a firm follower of Zhengliang.
"What? Are you really going to do this?" Zhu Qinfeng said in surprise after the second ri learned Ander's decision.
After receiving Ander's affirmative reply, Zhu Qinfeng said nothing, but gave the other party a big hug to show respect for the other party's decision. Compared to the free and easy relationship between men, the women seemed much more lingering. After learning about Ander's decision, Lilu was very sad for a while, because Ander's departure meant that the good sister Angel, whom she had finally met, would also leave. You must know that it is rare to find a sister who can express her thoughts in the vast sea. Now the two sisters are about to part. Everyone on the boat tactfully did not disturb the two ladies, but left them enough space to get along well for the rest of the time.
"What? Do you have to take away three more mesh guns?" Zhu Qinfeng shouted after learning that Ander wanted to take away three more mesh guns and several gunpowder from the warehouse.
"Your Excellency Zhengliang is already your employer? Well, just let that guy pay." After being surprised, Zhu Qinfeng suddenly became a fraudulent businessman again and said to Ander with a smile. The latter had to tell Zhengliang the news.
"Jiān's scam guy!" Zhengliang had no choice but to mutter to himself, and began to negotiate with Zhu Qinfeng, who suddenly transformed into a "Jiān Businessman".
Finally, amid Zhu Qinfeng's proud laughter, Zhengliang paid fifty taels of gold with pain, and finally got three undesirable mesh rope guns. One of these three mesh rope guns will be given to Ander as a weapon, one will be used as research for the upcoming firearm workshop, and the last one will be Zhengliang's special weapon.
After returning to the room arranged by Zhu Qinfeng for Zhengliang on the ship, Zhengliang laughed while stroking Xin and getting the coercion. He made a profit. He really made a profit this time. You should know that more than two years later, in order to obtain the batch of coercion, the guy from Seed Island paid thousands of taels of gold. (.) Compared to their efforts after ri, Zhengliang really made a profit this time.
While laughing secretly, Masayoro also remembered his initial plans for the development of firearms. According to historical records, the combs were introduced to the Warring States Period more than two years later, and then it was fully promoted after more than a year.
Based on this time, Zhengliang has three years to prepare. In these three years, Zhengliang must speed up the maintenance, research and development, production, improvement of the mesh gun, and finally mass production. At the same time, a secret firearm team is initially established to enable it to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In this way, time is indeed very urgent.
Just as Zhengliang was thinking alone in the cabin, Zhu Qinfeng's ship finally began to march towards the territory of the Luo family under the command of two subordinates sent by Zhengliang. At the same time, the small boat that Zhengliang, which had been near the ship, began to sail behind the ship.
In this way, the two ships sailed three ri on a calm sea. This ri, Zhengliang, who was discussing the firearm tactics with Andel on the deck, suddenly heard a loud shout from the mast: "I saw the land, everyone should pay attention, I saw a large area of land."
The loud shouts attracted a large number of crew members to walk onto the deck.
"Are you finally back?" Zhengliang looked at the direction pointed by the lookout and thought to himself. It has been a full month, starting from October 22, 20th year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of the Ninth year of
"Send the order and let our ships go back to the territory first, and let the Luo family's navy come to lead the way." Masarara said to Kinoshita Masara beside him. Since he was already familiar with Zhu Qinfeng, during the day, Masarara could let one and two men come down to the big ship to obey the command. In order to let these guys who have never seen the world, Masarara took turns to let all his retainers come this time, and today it happened to be Kinoshita Masarara came.
Kinoshita Masato, who received the order, went down to arrange it immediately.
Soon the small boat that Masara was riding on carried Yoshida Shigemasa quickly over the big boat and flew towards the direction of the land. Now only Masarara was left beside Kinoshita Masana, Liu Le and a curious little stone.
As the ship continued to advance, Masarara soon saw a land area. To be precise, it was an island called the Goshima Island, and now there were some pirates with good relationship with the Hirado Matsuura family. After seeing the big ship Zhu Qinfeng, they seemed to have seen ghosts, and they hid away, directly cleared the sea area of nearly half a mile in diameter for the big ship. It was no wonder that these ships were so panicked. Zhu Qinfeng's big ship was too big, just like a fortress moving on the sea, which really scared those pirates who had never seen the world. If the rich merchants who often smuggled along the coast of the Ming Dynasty or even smuggled in Southeast Asia, they would not have seen this. After all, they had seen such a big ship.
Following the seaway that had left in panic, the big ship continued to move forward. Finally, along the vast seaway between Nikko Island and Hirado Port, he entered the Chinjie Beach. The island ahead was within the naked eye.
Have you finally arrived home?
When Zhengliang left a month ago, the Xuanjietan area between Xiangdao and Kabu Island, which is still controlled by the Huzi family, was included in the control of the Luo family. In this sea area, without the permission of the Luo family, no ship, including fishing boats, would otherwise be attacked by the Luo family's naval army. It can be said that after passing Xiangdao, he would step on his own territory.
Sure enough, just as Zhengliang was imagining, a magic snail suddenly sounded in front of him. Then Zhengliang saw four passers-by and thirty little ships sailing towards the big ship in the shape of sharp swords.
Seeing so many ships suddenly appearing in front of them, the sailors who were originally watching the scenery on the ship immediately started to jingle.
"Your Captain, there is no need to do this. Those who come are the retainers who are in the lower house." Zhengliang quickly saluted Zhu Qinfeng, who was standing not far away from him.
"Oh?" Zhu Qinfeng obviously did not expect that Zhengliang, the young lord, had such strength. He was really surprised. Although these twenty ships looked very small, even the ships he had encountered before were not as good as those of pirates. They were all elephants and were afraid of many ants. As long as so many ships came over, it would probably not be easy to deal with them. In fact, Zhu Qinfeng measured Zhengliang based on the standards of those European lords. The small lords in Europe had at most one or two ships and one hundred peasant soldiers. After Zhengliang introduced himself as a lord, Zhu Qinfeng took it for granted that this was the case.
After some analysis, the ship finally became quiet and looked at the Luo family's naval army curiously. At this time, the Luo family's naval army finally came to the vicinity of the ship.
On a ship led by the leader, there were all the Luo family general Heiji Togo and the navy general Sun Wuro. The Gongfang pursued the wooden craftsmanship, and the close attendant Hidemasato Akifeng, and the bow and arrow teacher Yoshida Shigemasato. The other two Masayora also saw Wang Hai, an acquaintance. It seemed that Wang Hai had successfully arrived at his territory with the craftsmen and immigrants. These were all the retainers who could be found in the port, and the rest went to his own station to stay at his post according to Masayora's requirements before setting off.
This time, in order to welcome the head of the family, the Luo family's naval base, except for the two clearance ships and twenty-seven Xiaozao who had been patrolled by Hunatong and the remaining ships, all the remaining ships came out.
Of course, Yoshida Shigemasa, who was responsible for delivering the letter, had arrived at the port half an hour ago. Heiji Togo, who happened to be inspecting the sea salt drying situation near the base, got the news first. He immediately organized personnel to welcome Masarara, and also sent many messengers to report the message to various retainers who were on duty in the territory. After all, the lord who had worried them for a month was finally back.
When the Luo Family Navy fleet was about to encounter a large ship, Sun Wulang picked up the Luo Family Army flag and waved it. The thirty-four ships immediately split into two and swam to both sides of the large ship. While guarding the large ship on both sides, leading the way forward.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qinfeng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but look at Zhengliang with a squint. This young lord is indeed very interesting, no, it is getting more and more interesting now.
"Meet Your Highness" When the fleet returned to the dock of Luo's house in Banwu Bay, after Zhengliang got off the boat and went to the ground, the retainers who had been waiting there knelt down and saluted. Wang Hai, the only one who had not kneeled down, bowed to Zhengliang with a smile on his face.
Masara nodded slightly, and then signaled that all the retainers would rise. Looking at the retainers headed by Hiraji Togo, Masara couldn't help but feel secretly. It seemed that this period of time really made them worry.
On the deck, Zhu Qinfeng and others felt Zhengliang's authority in this territory again. When they saw the very neatly built wharf and the ground paved with inferior cement on the yard, they had to look up to Zhengliang. At least in Southeast Asia, they had never seen such a flat wharf. It can be seen that this is a lord with considerable strength and financial resources.
"Lord is back!" In addition to the navy, there are many workshops near the dock. The lord who had disappeared for nearly a month has returned, so of course they are coming to welcome him.
But when they saw the huge sailing ship and a few "ghosts" walked down from the ship, they were boiling again. White face, sè eyes and curly hair, isn't this the legendary "ghost"?
So, with the appearance of the Lord and brought a giant ship, the news that there were several "ghosts" people on the ship immediately began to spread, and it was very likely to spread to other parts of the entire territory.
