Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Roderney and the mercenaries under his command were of course very willing to be 'acquire' by the crown prince of the Song Empire for a long time.  Because they know that the crown prince is a big benefactor and very rich!

    If you are following this rich tycoon, maybe at some point the aura of wealth will be tainted by losers like them?

    ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s be friends, rich people.

    That¡¯s what these guys are saying.

    Of course, being friends is just a matter of words, that is impossible.

    After all, it is impossible for them to bridge the differences and gaps in status.

    But it¡¯s okay to be ¡®covered¡¯.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the blue, there will definitely be war, which means that according to the contract agreement, you get money once for every war, unlike in Europe where you have to settle the bill monthly.

    This clause is very wonderful for mercenaries.

    Moreover, when there is no fighting, they can still receive a salary of five long oceans a month.  This kind of salary is very good in Europe, and it is a lot of silver.

    Therefore, when the news spread, it even attracted many Japanese warriors from around Nagasaki to join in.

    Although Zhao Hongyu and the others were technically invaders, to these ronin warriors, it was not a big deal at all.

    The ronin are lawless, they have no national beliefs or national concepts.

    As long as you have money, they can work for you.

    This completely goes against the spirit of Bushido.

    However, Rodelny will not care about this, because he is a mercenary leader and believes in getting money from fighting.

    This aspect is quite to the rondo¡¯s liking.

    What's more, as mercenaries of the Song Empire, they received nothing but white money.

    You know, in the Japanese country, silver is precious and gold is cheap.

    Without fighting, the salary of five Longyang per month is five taels of silver, which is much higher than the salary of soldiers in Japan who are less than one tael of silver.

    At the very least, it is the salary of an Ashigaru leader who is in charge of fifty people.

    So, how could the ronin of Kyushu not be moved?

    In this way, in addition to the 2,000 European mercenaries under Roderny's command, he also formed a legion composed mainly of Japanese ronin warriors, with a size of 2,000.

    If we go by normal circumstances, it will cost a lot of money to feed so many mercenaries.

    Basically, no daimyo would do this in Japan.

    Even if it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, it would not act like this.

    But for Zhao Hongyu, there was no problem, not even a little bit of pressure.

    ¡° Four thousand mercenaries now only earn 20,000 taels of silver a month.

    The price of industrial silver in the virtual world has plummeted, and is now 40 cents per gram.

    " Converted into one tael of silver, it's only thirteen yuan, or fifteen yuan at most.

    Of course, the Eastern weights and measures at this time were based on the hexadecimal system, which means that one tael equals sixteen coins.

    In other words, one tael is almost 48 grams.

    If it saves you trouble, just count it as fifty grams.

    ¡°So fifty cents multiplied by forty cents is only twenty yuan.

    According to this calculation, the salary a mercenary receives when there is no war is only one hundred yuan.

    This is a hundred dollars!

    Put it in the virtual world or the world that Zhao Hongyu originally lived in, even temporary workers and interns would not get so little.

    Therefore, when Roddelny proposed to Zhao Hongyu, he agreed to Roddelny's suggestion without even thinking about it.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Now we just have to wait for Li Xiang to see if he shows up. If Ya doesn¡¯t show up in three days, Zhao Hongyu will leave Kyushu and go to the Ming Dynasty.

    When the time comes, take these mercenaries with you and take the time to see ¡®our Qing Dynasty¡¯. These people are definitely the best cannon fodder, aren¡¯t they?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the virtual world of 400,000 Tianchao coins a month, hired a group of actors who use their lives to act, so that you can watch real-life PK movies.

    Human lifeIt's not worth it.

    This is what Zhao Hongyu is most emotional about.

    However, he has no worries about employing Europeans and Japanese.

    "Don't worry about keeping them alive now, but once there is a war, they will be the first to rush to the front.

    As for whether their combat effectiveness is guaranteed, Zhao Hongyu has no worries in this regard.

    Because the contract agreement between Zhao Hongyu and Roddelny made it clear that when they mercenaries fight, they will pay high salaries for every battle, and at the same time, they will also share part of the spoils of defeating the enemy.  Go down.

    Therefore, there is no need to worry about the mercenaries not fighting to the death.

    After all, it is a matter of their own spoils and pockets.

    So, these mercenaries must be very happy to fight, and they will burst out with great fighting enthusiasm.

    Kyushu was initially decided, but the transition here in Nagasaki was very smooth.

    ??And Yuji Kawabe, Kayo Tokugawa, as well as Hattori Onizou and Iguchi Zozo, each began to implement their development plans in their newly divided territories and stabilized the people's hearts at the same time.

    Because of relying on a large amount of supplies, tax-free policies, and various welfare measures, Kyushu quickly stabilized.

    And with their strong fighting power and reputation for ferocious massacres, the Shikoku and other daimyo who were close to Kyushu did not dare to act rashly.

    At the same time, the turmoil that broke out in the shogunate over the position of shogun is now becoming more and more intense.

    Therefore, even if General Ishida and the Emperor were released, they would have no experience to retaliate against Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    Today's Japanese country has been divided into three major groups that are attacking each other.

    Among them, the former general is on one side, the general's brother is on the other side, and the general's former concubine is on the other side. There has been a fight between the three parties.

    Such chaos cannot be calmed down in a short time.

    If you want to decide the winner, it will take just a few years.

    "Maybe, because of Zhao Hongyu, the Japanese country may even fall into an environment like the Warring States Period again.

    However, these have little to do with Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    "Anyway, Zhao Hongyu has already conquered Kyushu and achieved his goal, so he no longer wants to waste time conquering Japan.  Of course, this is something for the future, at least he won't think about it now.

    And the turmoil in the Japanese country is also good for them. After all, it can give them a few years to develop themselves steadily in Kyushu, right?

    With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s support, it only takes two years for Jiuzhou to undergo great changes.  Even if the Japanese regime is stabilized again by then, they will not be able to pose any threat to Kyushu.

    Everything is very beneficial to Zhao Hongyu.

    What Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to wait for three days in Nagasaki, Kyushu, to see if he can receive a response to his kindness to Li Xiang.

    If Li Xiang has no reaction after three days, then he will not continue to wait.

    Zhao Hongyu would not do anything like putting a hot face on a cold butt.

    He doesn¡¯t necessarily need Li Xiang.

    Zhao Hongyu, who has a heaven-defying cheating device, is quite confident.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the sake of saving some trouble and allowing him to have more time, Zhao Hongyu wouldn¡¯t even look at Li Xiang at all.

    Now, it depends on whether Li Xiang can seize this opportunity.

    If you can¡¯t grasp it, then the Sea Dragon King in this time and space will probably be like him in another time and space, and eventually become Zheng Zhilong¡¯s stepping stone and be annihilated in the long river of history¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    There are five connected islands to the southwest of Nagasaki Port. The place where the Nagasaki Navy was originally stationed is called the Five Islands.  Now the defenders of the Five Islands have surrendered and completely surrendered to Zhao Hongyu.

    Even half of their defenders were transferred away.

    Half of the new imperial soldiers and generals arrived to manage the five islands.

    As the gateway to the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Wudao is very special.

    Under the control of Kyushu, apart from the Five Islands, only Amami Island and Naha are the most important.

    It is a pity that because the Japanese navy is not very strong, Amami Island is now occupied.Li Xiang was in control, while Naha, which also belonged to Li Xiang, was seized and controlled by Zheng Zhilong.

    Because Goto is close to Nagasaki and is an important part of Kyushu, Li Xiang did not dare to take action. This ensured that Goto was still in the hands of the Japanese.

    ?? In the Japanese sea area in winter, the sky is blue, and skuas are circling in the sky looking for targets in the sea.

    Standing on the observation deck on the coast of Goto, two Japanese defenders and one Gene soldier discovered three Ming-style warships on the sea.

    "This is a Ming-style warship. We need to report it to the garrison general immediately. I don't know if it is a Ming Dynasty naval warship. We must not delay."

    After discovering these three ships, the two auxiliary Japanese soldiers quickly gave suggestions to the genetic soldiers.

    From the faces of the two Japanese soldiers, the genetic soldier saw tension and fear, which showed that the Japanese were still afraid of the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

    However, the genetic soldiers did not leave immediately, and also stopped the two Japanese soldiers from leaving.

    "Let me take a look first. How could there be ships from the Ming Dynasty coming here at this time? What's more, these three ships appear to be coming from the south. If they are the navy of the Ming Dynasty, why should they come from the west?  Just come."

    After saying that, the gene soldier took out a monocular and looked at the two Japanese soldiers with envious expressions.

    A large flag embroidered with the word "Àî" in black appeared in the telescope (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
