Win the Ding 1617

"Father!"

Seeing the guard sitting high in the lobby, Xiao Huamei immediately broke free from the Taoist nun's arms, and she didn't know whether it was because of the predestined relationship between the little girl and the Taoist nun in her previous life or because of her sweet mouth. The cold Taoist nun was able to carry her into the gate of the general's mansion.

"These people bully us! Here! That kid is going to cut down the banner of our South China Army!"

Children speak freely, and children will not tell lies.After hearing this, all the officers of the South China Army present were furious. "We just helped you defeat the Dutch. We sent troops to make you famous. The lord also handed over the pirate gold on Nan'ao Island. You actually want to cut down the banner of our Nanzhong Army outside? What is it?" Intentions?"

Those who were more impatient put their hands on the handle of the knife, and only waited for the guard to give an order.

"Zhibao, what's going on?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhilong showed the majesty of the coach and his brother to question his brother Zheng Zhibao who was handling the matter.

"Marshal, this Nan'ao Island has always been famous for its sailors and sailors. Our people and Marshal Li's people have set up recruitment flags outside to recruit soldiers. However, some people who were originally going to our camp saw that the Nanzhong Army had good food and treatment. Gao Jun was paid enough, so he turned to join the South China Army, which is understandable. But it happened that Damu passed by there, and he was a little annoyed when he saw it. He pretended to teach this group of dissidents and threatened to cut down the flag of the South China Army. It happened to be overheard by Marshal Li's favorite pearl, and the two dolls clashed, fortunately, it was stopped by Shi Daxuan's son Shi Lang and the Taoist priest, otherwise, today's troubles will be serious!"

Historically, the banners in the army have been regarded as the soul, honor, the symbol of the commander, etc., especially in this era of extremely underdeveloped communications, commanding troops basically depends on the banner, so the importance of the military flag is beyond ordinary people imagine.Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the achievement of beheading the general and capturing the flag.

But today, Zheng Zhilong's precious son actually wanted to chop off the opponent's flag, and even drew his sword against the eldest lady of the South China Army. This incident has brought the two armies to the brink of annihilation.

After hearing Zhi Bao's words, he confirmed from the Taoist nun that his son actually wanted to kill Li Huamei.If Zheng Zhilong can still remain calm.If you don't make a statement, this matter will definitely cause the two armies to merge.

He pulled the timid Fusongwan out from the crowd, and with two big ears on his face, he said, "You bastard! The South Central Army is here to help us! How can you be so ignorant of good and bad?" Going to provoke others. Want to chop off their flags?! What's even more hateful is that a man wants to use a knife to fight a delicate little girl? What about your courage and guts? Have you been eaten by dogs?!"

Looking at the baby son's snow-white and tender face, ten finger marks suddenly appeared red.Zheng Zhilong was still angry, turned his head, and looked with a livid face at the five Fusang people who followed His Highness Fusongmaru today.

"You are following the young master today?"

The five Fusang people had already been terrified.What happened today really caused a catastrophe!For this delicate little girl in front of her, her father is someone whom even the shogun and Lord Zheng look up to.

"His Highness Fukumatsumaru is young and a little impatient, don't you know how to stop him?! If he really caused a big mess today, can you guys take the responsibility?!"

Zhilong's words were not loud, but they hit the five Fusang people like a mountain.

"What should I do, how can I redeem your sins, I don't need to say anything else?"

After hearing this, the Fusang people kowtowed three times to Zheng Zhilong and Fusongmaru without saying a word, "Your Highness can no longer serve His Highness, please take care of your Highness!"

The leader of the Fusang people walked up to the Shou Han, kowtowed to the Shou Han in the same way, "My master was careless for a moment and failed to check, this is all our fault."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the gate of the General Military Mansion proudly, and carefully took off the feather weaving made of high-grade Jiangnan silk, which was made of high-grade deerskin.Fold it, put it aside, take off the clothes on your body, wrap it around the long knife, kneel on the bluestone board in front of the door, stab at the abdomen suddenly, and pull the blade horizontally, the sharp blade immediately The belly was opened, and the intestines inside flowed out.The samurai was not done yet, taking advantage of a rush of blood, he pulled out the knife again, and cut a cross on his stomach with another slash from top to bottom.

The other four committed seppuku as well.

Five clumps of blood were gurgling on the path paved with bluestone slabs, and five people supported their bodies with long knives that pierced their bodies so that they would not fall forward or backward.

Seeing five living beings turn into five sculptures in an instant, Zheng Zhilong nodded. "Order, the five of them will double their compensation according to the death rate."

Zheng Zhilong's move immediately made the Nanzhong Army people speechless, and the nun blocked Xiao Huamei's sight with her hands, and kept saying "sin, sin."

Looking at the piles of internal organs outside the door, and the blood silently seeping into the ground along the stone slabs, smelling the slightly sweet and rusty smell of blood in the air, all the generals of the South China Army become speechless.

"The Taoist priest, I have to trouble you for the matter just now. Daughter, go and take out the snacks brought by your mother, and invite the Taoist priest and Uncle Zheng's young master to drink tea and rest at the back."

"It's easy to say! The poor are bothering you!"

"I don't know how to call him?"

"A person who becomes a monk is originally homeless and nameless. If you want to ask, he is called Liu Guidan, the poor Taoist!"

"Oki, take out the red bean cakes, dorayaki and so on that your mother made for you, and go to the back to talk to Miss Li's family and drink tea!"

The words of Shou Han and Zhi Long made the generals of the Nanzhong Army heave a sigh of relief. Although the Nanzhong Army has always been strict in military discipline, it does not kill casually, let alone kill people at the will of the chief officer.This made the officers who saw the scene just now very gratified and fortunate.

"This is not a lieutenant, it is clearly a cat and dog raised by the Zheng family!"

In fact, the status of these Fusang rogues was just as the officers and men of the South China Army had slandered in their hearts.They were all hired by Zhilong from Hirado and others with money.The whole family expects to rely on their salary to live. Once this job is lost, the whole family may be starved to death immediately. In the future, there will still be a share of silver in the Zheng family's army, which is also a benefit of the Zheng's Maritime Group.

"The dog has no shape, but Brother Shouhan laughed at him!"

Using almost cruel means to quickly suppress a disaster that might have triggered a conflict between the two armies, Zheng Zhilong showed his iron fist and ability to control his subordinates.Turn the topic back to just now.

"What I mean is. Your two armies rely on the sea for their livelihood. The transfer of military supplies and trade, all rely on this sea. But not to mention the dangers of the sea. Mutual protection." Shou Han threw out his own thoughts.

"In the sea area under the jurisdiction of our South Central Army. Anyone who flies the flag of your army will be protected by our army, and my ship is within the jurisdiction of your army. The same is true for your army. I don't know what brother Fei Huang thinks?"

"This one."

In exchange for a flag, the tens of thousands of miles of sea area will be safe and sound, Zheng Zhilong's mind is spinning rapidly, this is completely beneficial and harmless to him, he can promise him!

"Secondly, our army has already controlled the Straits of Malacca, and will soon move south to take Batavia, the Dutch lair."

"But not enough ships and guns? Not enough sailors? Brother, just say, how many do you need? It's all on the Zhilong brothers and others!"

Hearing that Shou Han said that he wanted to go south to Batavia to seek the bad luck of the Dutch, Zhilong had to pat his chest to show his pride and loyalty.

Batavia wanted to take it, but he would never borrow troops from the Zheng family. This was Shouhan's bottom line.

"No! No!"

Li Shouhan had his own thoughts in his heart.

"I just want to ask Brother Feihuang for a favor."

"You and my brother still want to be so polite? I owe you so much! Just say, go in the water, go in the fire!"

"That's good! Let Shouhan say it!"

The meaning of Shou Han is very simple.

In the future, for all kinds of bulk materials sold from inland areas to Japan and Southeast Asia, regardless of how much money Zheng's maritime business group spent, how much effort it took to acquire them or rob them, the pricing power will belong to the South China Army.

"I won't let the brothers shed their blood and sweat and sell the things they bought with silver and their lives at a loss. At most, they should be sold with a few percent of the price added!"

That's it!

Zhilong, Zhihu, Zhibao and others were all relieved when they heard this, and then snickered. "I thought the Li family boy was a character, but he is also a man who is greedy for money and good goods. Anyway, you are also domineering Manga, and those Frangji merchants will pass by your territory, and they will sell it to you! "

Zheng Zhilong and others believed that Shou Han wanted to sell all the tea, silk, raw silk, porcelain and other things produced in the inland by him. The same is true for the goods imported into the inland from outside.

As everyone knows, due to the limitations of knowledge, the pricing power that Shou Han wants is far greater than the Dutch fleet!

According to the knowledge of modern business theory, pricing power, especially commodity pricing power, means that the company has the initiative to set the price of its bulk commodities, and changing product pricing will not have a negative impact on demand.Companies with pricing power can smoothly pass the increased cost to downstream through price increases without affecting sales.

In other words, no matter how the market changes, companies with pricing power will not lose money, but will only pass the loss on to other links.

As a time traveler, Shou Han is deeply aware of the pain and embarrassment of not having the right to set prices. The days when the price of what he buys is raised and the price of what he sells is reduced is simply shame and pain.

Of course, Shouhan will also abide by the general laws of market economy and follow the principle of matching cost and price.The price of the commodity is set around its cost, plus expenses, plus expected profit and other items.Should be a general principle.

Holding the right to speak and pricing is a decisive step for the South China Army to further control the trade between the East and the West. However, in the process of setting prices, we cannot blindly maximize profits, and we must also consider market order. The stability of the company, as well as long-term development, long-term cooperation with partners and other factors.Some are even related to the country's economic lifeline, and are coordinated with the country's economic policies and development plans.

Of course, when necessary.Shou Han will not give up the use of force.

"It's easy to handle! I'll make a promise to Brother Shouhan that in the future, the tea from Fujian, the porcelain from Jiangxi, the silk and raw silk from Jiangnan, and the import of various goods from overseas will all be imported by the brothers of the South Central Army." Let's set the price!"

The next thing is much simpler.

The two opened the chart and began to bargain over the sea territory.

As a result of the final negotiation, the two sides took Dayuan Island as the boundary line, north of Dayuan.Under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhilong Navy.To the south, it is under the jurisdiction of the Navy of the South China Army.The strait between Dayuan and Kinmen, Xiamen and other places was used as the common jurisdiction of both sides, and encountered the Spaniards in the north of Dayuan and the Dutch in the south.Both parties are obliged to work together to drive and destroy them.

Is it an eastbound flight to Japan?It is the two sides going their own way.Because now the purpose of trade is different.For the time being, they are still in a situation where well water does not violate river water, so they each guard their own territory.

As for the matter of exchanging flag samples of ships between each other.There are also detailed technical links involving pricing power products, etc., which are handled by Zheng Zhibao, Chu Tianlei and others.

"Are you Shi Daxuan's son?"

Zhilong looked up and down at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in front of him.

"Yes, you are talking about my father."

"Well, haven't you met Marshal Li of the South China Army yet?!"

"Greetings to Marshal Li! Thank you Marshal Li for your help!"

Let the subordinates deal with the technical details, and the two commanders returned to the second hall to deal with the chaos that was almost caused by the dispute between the children.

"Brother Shouhan, this is the son of a sentry officer under my subordinates. He followed his father to practice in the army. I don't want to make such a great achievement today."

Looking at the scum on Shi Lang's face, the two couldn't help but smile. After all, they are still children, even if they have been exercising at sea for a long time,

Both His Royal Highness Fusongmaru and Shi Lang himself were very interested in the snacks from Daoxiang Village brought out by Xiao Huamei, and they didn't care about the many when they ate them.On the other hand, Xiao Huamei rolled her eyes, "What kind of dorayaki, what kind of red bean cake, it doesn't taste good at all!"

Looking at the stalwart young man in front of him, Shou Han suddenly had a thought in his mind that he was going to dig the wall with a small hoe.This is a person who has left a great reputation in the future!It also made great achievements for the transitional rise of the Zheng Group in the early days, but unfortunately, it could not be used by the Zheng family.It would be better for me to poach him first, so as not to make him work for the Tartars in the future.

When he proposed to bring Shi Lang back to Nanzhong, Zhi Long politely declined. "Officer Shi is not on Nan'ao Island, so I can't make decisions for him. Moreover, the child's father was also injured in a war with the Dutch a few days ago, so he cannot be left without someone to take care of him. We have to wait for his father's injury to improve before sending him away. That's right."

Seeing what Zheng Zhilong said, Shou Han had no choice but to give up resentfully.

"My lord, why don't you let that boy surnamed Shi go with Li Shouhan?" When there was no one around but Zhilong and his son, His Highness Fukusongmaru couldn't help but tell his father what was in his heart.

"What do you know!"

Shilong opened his eyes and reprimanded His Highness Fukumatsumaru.

"Let's not say that Shi Lang saved you from the disaster of killing your life today. I can be regarded as credited to me, but his performance on weekdays cannot be sent to the Nanzhong Army surnamed Li!"

"What?"

"Why? Let me ask you, how many people in the army have learned guns and sticks, are brave in battle, know water, and are familiar with hydrology and meteorology? Are there many people who have worked hard and studied? How many people have all these conditions in one body? ?”

"This kind of talent, even if it is an ally, cannot be given to others! What's more, today's allies may not be tomorrow's enemies, if such a person is given to others, and he comes to attack us in the future, what should we do?"

"What you did today made you lose your composure. Fortunately, your father is here, and he saved you with the lives of five Fusang people. If your father is gone, or you lead the army alone, what should you do?"

"Then I'll annex my opponent!"

Fukumatsumaru was young after all, and immediately expressed the simplest thought in his heart.

"Wrong. As the leader of an army, you can let your subordinates do it, and don't take the lead yourself. For today's matter, you should let those Fusang people handle it. At worst, you will be beaten with army sticks later. Why take five lives?"

"Then," Fukumatsumaru hesitated, "If there is any possibility of infringing on the interests of my Zheng family, how should I deal with it? Whether to care or not?"

"Stupid boy! If you find out that others are threatening and infringing on you, how can you sit idly by? However, there must be a method and strength of action."

"If Shi Lang and that Taoist nun didn't come out to stop it today, it doesn't matter whether you can hurt the other party with your knife, alas! Father will be in trouble."

Thinking of that scene during the day, Zhilong couldn't help feeling scared for a while.His army was fighting on the water, and he was confident that he could at least draw a tie with the Nanzhong Army, but on land, he was afraid that he would definitely lose.

On the same day, the deputy general of Nan'ao Island ordered that all houses on the island that raise chickens, pigs, cattle and sheep will be bought by the officials at a price, and a banquet will be held to entertain the Nanzhong Army and Zheng Jiajun's navy.

The Nanzhong Army took out all the meat in the fleet and shared it with the Zheng Jiajun and the garrison on Nan'ao Island.

Zheng Zhilong simply ordered the boats to go to Shantou, which is close at hand, to buy wine and meat, so that the brothers can feast on it.

After wandering at sea for a long time, sailors are very tired of fish and shrimp, but they are very interested in pork, beef and mutton on land.When night fell, the entire Nan'ao Island was enveloped in a tempting aroma. Zheng Zhilong and Li Shouhan generously ordered that all residents on the island can receive a share of wine and food to have fun with the people.

Immediately, the whole Nan'ao Island became more lively and festive than the holidays.

"Such as Chen Weilian, when he is worried, his heart is hot. The authorities are not talented, and Qu Tu keeps shouting, what can he do to make up for the scorched rot. Seeing the eyes full of scars, if the pain is on the body, there is no escape. I have already impeached myself, dare not The merits of greedy heaven are our own strength, and the ministers have already relied on the power of heaven outside the hut, so they should spread the sage and martial arts in the domain. Offer captives to the court, and punish the street. This action also captured a puppet king of the barbarian chieftain and several leaders of the barbarian party alive, burned and sank thousands of barbarians, captured 120 barbarians alive, killed [-] barbarians, burned five barbarian clipboard giant ships, and captured barbarians Three clipboard giant ships destroyed more than [-] barbarian boats and seized armor, swords, compasses, charts, etc., all of which are preserved. The corpses of barbarians were killed by gunshots before and after, and those who failed to be graded were dragged away by barbarians There are too many to count, and I dare not narrate. Gaichen went to sea for one month and ended. His teacher is not old and his wealth is not lacking. The speakers all say that Fujian and Guangdong have had red barbarians for decades. Dare to avoid suspicion and present captives according to the routine, so as to show that the emperor went to heaven to ask for a grand event, and I am waiting for the Ministry of War to investigate and implement it. For this purpose, I am specially sent to Pan Kunhua's relatives, and I would like to ask for an order."

When Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian Province, heard about the past experience, he couldn't help but be greatly admired, and ordered his staff to quickly write the report book, asking for credit for himself and his subordinates for their bravery in killing the enemy. Give a helping hand, and the king of hard work will make a contribution.

However, facing the long list of seized goods and weapons and artillery submitted by Zhibao, Lord Zou generously allocated the weapons and artillery to Zheng Zhilong, and warmly comforted and rewarded him, promising to ask for an order Added an official to the rank of General Zheng.

Unfortunately, those seized goods, gold and silver, were forgotten to report to the emperor by the staff and Mr. Zou. (To be continued..)
