The news that Li Xiang had come with his troops was reported by the Five Islands defenders who dispatched a clipper, and they arrived at Zhao Hongyu's side half a day earlier than Li Xiang and the others.
When Zhao Hongyu learned the news, he was still very happy.
After all, as long as we have this Li Xiang and let him lead the navy here in Kyushu. I don't have to worry about too many problems, but focus all my energy on Ming Dynasty.
When the time comes, Li Xiang can take care of things like guarding against Japanese naval forces and ensuring immigration transport ships. It saves me a lot of worry, and I can become a great shopkeeper, right?
As for the issue of loyalty on Li Xiang's side, Zhao Hongyu doesn't have to worry anymore.
He could completely leave some genetic sailors and infiltrate them into the navy assigned to Li Xiang, making it impossible for Li Xiang to have full control of the navy.
In this way, even if Li Xiang had any disobedience, he would not be able to rebel against him.
Because he simply doesn¡¯t get the support of the people below.
"Well, that's it. Some captains and low-level sailors can be held by genetic people. At the same time, in order to show his generosity and sincerity, he can also give Li Xiang and his subordinates some insignificant positions.
As long as Li Xiang is determined to join him, it is impossible to refuse these things.
Because he has no capital at all now.
¡°Besides, for Zhao Hongyu, Li Xiang is just a dispensable person.
If he is unwilling to surrender, the worst he can do is detach part of his fleet and let him form the Kyushu Navy.
Although I don¡¯t know much about the waters in the east, with powerful warships, I can maintain stable waters for several years.
When the time comes, a group of warships will be mobilized from the Americas, and Kyushu will still be as stable as Mount Tai.
Now, it depends on Li Xiang¡¯s choice.
Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t know anything about the current distribution of maritime power in the East.
Zhao Hongyu has already inquired about everything from Master Wang and Liu Dashen.
Therefore, of course he knows and understands how bad the situation of this so-called Hailongwai Li Xiang is.
Today, Li Xiang is completely at a disadvantage when facing the aggressive Zheng Zhilong.
??Zheng Zhilong was smart enough to defect to the Ming Dynasty, and used silver bullets to clear the way, gaining the support of those powerful men. And they bribed Europeans to deal with Li Xiang together.
Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for Li Xiang to fight against Zheng Zhilong.
How could he and his family be able to deal with three people?
Unless he is a god, he can do it.
But is Li Xiang a god?
? ?Obviously he isn't.
So, the door I opened for him is saving him.
If Li Xiang cannot seize this opportunity, it will prove that he is ignorant of current affairs. Zhao Hongyu would not be interested in such a guy.
? People should always know their own weight and situation.
If you can't see this clearly, then this person is nothing more than a waste.
" What else does Zhao Hongyu have to care about for waste?
However, now that Li Xiang has started to come to Nagasaki, it means that he understands that this guy is not an idiot.
He should be able to see these problems clearly.
Although this guy took a while, Zhao Hongyu could understand a little bit.
It¡¯s just a matter of caution, and I want to see the situation before speaking.
After all, he was leading an army to fight in Jiuzhou at that time. Li Xiang would definitely not be able to see what happened in the end.
The fighting power of the Japanese is very strong for Ming people.
Therefore, Li Xiang may still think that he may be defeated by the Japanese.
It¡¯s not surprising at all to have such thoughts.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT back in this era, no one except himself would understand how strong the combat effectiveness of Zhao Hongyu's men is.
Of course, as people of Chinese descent from the empire, they know it, but they have to keep it a secret.
"I think Li Xiang has thought it through clearly, and my efforts have not been in vain."
Sitting on the tatami in the hall of the former lord of Nagasaki Castle, Zhao Hongyu asked the soldiers who reported the news to retreat, and said with a smile to Emma, ??Sara and Hattori Chizuru.
At this time, on the Japanese side,It has entered the harsh winter, heavy snowfall has begun to fall in the sky, and the temperature has dropped sharply.
So, at this time, Emma and Sara both put on furry black bear fur coats and wore winter hats made of black bear fur on their heads, which made them look together.
On the other hand, Hattori Chizuru is Zhao Hongyu¡¯s personal bodyguard and wants to protect Zhao Hongyu¡¯s safety, so it is impossible for her to wear so many clothes because it will affect her movements.
Therefore, at this time, Chizuru Hattori was only wearing a Japanese-style men's samurai kimono. But even such a kimono is stuffed with thick cotton.
¡° Zhao Hongyu spent a lot of money to customize this from the virtual world.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, it seems that Li Xiang has surrendered."
Hattori Chizuru was the first to congratulate.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head, waved his hand and said: "It's too early to congratulate me now. Li Xiang is here to negotiate this time. Although he doesn't have much capital anymore, he probably still hopes that he can sell it at a good price, right? . If the negotiation was not very good, I think Li Xiang would not seek refuge with me."
Zhao Hongyu understood clearly and did not feel that the situation was settled just because Li Xiang came.
Emma on the side pouted her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Is this guy named Xiang Xiang so important? Why must he join us? I think with our battleships, we don't need this guy at all."
For Emma, ??Li Xiang is a dispensable person.
The warships under her man's command are very powerful. They defeated the British, the Dutch and the Spanish in America, so they won't have any opponents in the East.
The little girl has absolutely overwhelming confidence in her husband.
Therefore, she does not think that this man named Li Xiang necessarily needs him to come over.
Can he have such a powerful battleship?
Are his men as capable as the soldiers of the Song Empire?
Come to think of it, there is absolutely no such thing.
Because in Emma¡¯s heart, the soldiers of the Song Empire were the most powerful and fierce in the world.
¡°Well, of course, Mohawk¡¯s warriors are pretty good too.
"It's just that compared to the soldiers of the Song Empire, they are still a little bit behind, so they are ranked second.
As soon as Emma said this, Sara on the side nodded and said with an expression of agreement: "Yes, what use is this Li Xiang to us? Why must he come to us? This makes me I really can¡¯t figure it out.¡±
¡°Compared to Emma, ??Sarah¡¯s cognition is deeper.
"To me, the empire's fleet is absolutely powerful. I dare say that there is no other country's fleet on the sea that can compare with our empire's fleet. Therefore, I don't think this Li Xiang is powerful to us. How important.¡±
As a French female noble, Sarah knew how powerful the Song Empire's fleet was.
What's more, the Song Empire's fleet swept across the American colonies and completely annihilated the now very powerful European fleet. Such strength is basically invincible in Europe.
At the same time, Sarah has also seen the power of the imperial warships.
She felt that after having such a powerful battleship and elite sailors, what else would she need from Li Xiang.
After Zhao Hongyu heard this, he looked at Emma, ??then at Sara, and then looked back at Hattori Chizuru. He found that the faces of the three women showed the same meaning.
That is, Li Xiang is a waste, what should he do?
To Hattori Chizuru, Li Xiang is just a pirate.
" Zhao Hongyu is a noble crown prince, and he is like an emperor in the Japanese country.
With such an identity, how can one climb high as a pirate?
Therefore, in Hattori Chizuru¡¯s heart, he looked down upon Li Xiang.
Because the girl feels that Li Xiang¡¯s background is too low, even as a subordinate of her lord, it is a bit embarrassing.
However, after Hattori Chizuru mentioned these words once, Zhao Hongyu said it and never dared to mention them again. But she was still thinking in her heart, if she looked down on him, she would look down on him.
Pirates!
That¡¯s a thief!
He's not even as good as a ninja.
But Emma¡¯s idea is much simpler. She thinks that Li Xiang is a weak person. As a weak person, if he wants to take refuge with the strong, he must have some ability.
Otherwise, what will I do if I accept you???
Unless you are a slave.
Well, the idea of ??an Indian girl is that simple.
It depends on whether you are useful or not. What is useless is waste. What is the use of waste?
Anyway, Emma doesn¡¯t see the use of Li Xiang.
Sara has different ideas from Hattori Chizuru and Emma, ??but she also believes that Li Xiang is of little use to them.
With the strong ships and powerful artillery, it is not difficult for the empire to gain a foothold in the eastern seas.
Is there anything more powerful than the Imperial Fleet in the Eastern Sea?
This is simply impossible.
During the war in Kyushu, Sara and Roddelny had a chat. So she got a lot of information about the East from Roderny, a Western adventurer.
First of all, the number of artillery pieces on the Eastern warships is very small. Some ships even have no artillery at all. Their maritime battles rely on their large number of men and ships, and most of the time they are boarding battles.
"Tactics like this are useless against the Imperial Fleet.
This point has been proven by the Imperial Fleet in actual combat.
Sarah knows this too.
Therefore, Sarah feels that the imperial fleet is absolutely invincible in the Eastern Sea.
With the advantages of speed and artillery, dealing with ships without artillery in the East is just like playing.
So, what is the use of Li Xiang?
Zhao Hongyu looked at the expressions of the three women and knew what they were thinking.
He could only smile bitterly and decided to explain to them.
After all, how do they know their own thoughts?
Although Li Xiang seems to be miserable, he actually has many uses (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
