Emma, ??Sara and Chizuru Hattori all looked at Zhao Hongyu with curious expressions.
They were very confused and didn¡¯t understand at all why this guy named Li Xiang was so useful to Zhao Hongyu?
Looking at the three girls who were puzzled, Zhao Hongyu decided to give them a good explanation.
"It seems that the three of you don't understand at all, so I have to explain it to you." Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said helplessly.
"Yes, we also want to know why this guy is useful to my dear." Emma responded immediately after hearing this.
Sara and Hattori Chizuru also said that this was indeed the case.
"Hey." Zhao Hongyu smiled, "This is the East. We are not very familiar with everything here, right?"
Emma and Sara looked at each other, then nodded to Zhao Hongyu.
"It is true that the fleet under my command is very powerful, but in a relatively unfamiliar sea area, we actually still have certain disadvantages." Zhao Hongyu continued. "For example, we don't know anything about some of the whirlpools and dangerous places like the rocky beaches in this area. But the pirate named Li Xiang knows it very well."
"And this Li Xiang has been famous in the East for many years. Since he can have the title of Sea Dragon King, it can be seen that this guy is by no means a wasted name. There must be some means to have such a reputation. That¡¯s it.¡±
Zhao Hongyu paused here and then looked at the three women.
He found that the three women were all staring at him, quietly.
Then, he continued: "Also, Li Xiang must have been in contact with various countries in the East, such as Goryeo, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he must have some connections. And if we want to gain a foothold in the East, It¡¯s this kind of relationship that¡¯s missing.¡±
Zhao Hongyu sighed slightly: "Although we have occupied Kyushu now, we are still very strange to the East. Even for people here in the East, we are invaders from a very far away place. , so we will definitely encounter some troubles and difficulties when doing things in the East. Although we have powerful force, we cannot solve everything with force."
After saying that, he looked at the three women and his expression became serious.
"So, a guy like Li Xiang who has a wide network of contacts and can be related to everyone is the talent we need." Zhao Hongyu's last words were very serious.
Emma and Chizuru Hattori didn¡¯t know much about this kind of thing, so they listened a little confused. But Sarah was a female noble in Europe after all, so after hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, she immediately understood what Zhao Hongyu was thinking.
you do not say.
As Zhao Hongyu said, even though they have occupied Kyushu, they have a territory here in the East as a base. But for the East, they actually don't know much at all. It can even be said that they don't know anything at all.
" Moreover, because of their actions on the Japanese side, they may have been feared by the countries in the east.
The name "invaders" shows that it is extremely detrimental to them.
However, looking at their behavior in the Japanese country, it seems that they have really responded to this title.
Therefore, if they want to act in the East in the future, they will definitely have some trouble.
At the same time, because they are outsiders, they are not familiar with the customs and customs of the East. Even if you want to do something, you can't find a way.
¡°Even, maybe because you don¡¯t understand the local customs, you will offend some people who deny it, so the matter cannot be done at all.
So, guys like Li Xiang are somewhat important to them.
Just like Zhao Hongyu said, Li Xiang has been a pirate in the waters of the East for more than thirty years.
Thinking about it, this guy named Li Xiang must have a lot of connections here in the East.
After all, as a pirate, Li Xiang doesn¡¯t matter how majestic he is. But the things he robbed must be converted into gold and silver, so he must have a network of connections to help him do this.
Otherwise, there is no future in being a pirate.
At the same time, Li Xiang will also provide some protective services to maritime merchants traveling from various countries. The premise is that the other party pays a considerable fee, otherwise this kind of maritime businessman will definitely be a target of robbery.
In this era, maritime merchants in the East basicallyThere is a big background behind everything.
"If it is an ordinary person, it is impossible to do maritime business in the eastern seas.
Li Xiang has been in contact with these people for a long time, so how can he have a few people with whom he gets along well? In this way, he can get to know the big guys behind these maritime merchants, and if the two parties can reach some agreements related to interests, Li Xiang will be even more at home.
And judging from the fact that Li Xiang was able to achieve such a big name, I guess he must have connections in this area.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to achieve such a big name.
Although he is now in dire straits, you can¡¯t deny that he doesn¡¯t have those connections.
And Li Xiang¡¯s network is very important to Zhao Hongyu.
Because this can save him a lot of detours and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
You know, when Zhao Hongyu came to the East, he had to do a very important thing, which was to immigrate.
At the same time, the number of immigrants he needs is also very large.
For things like this, ordinary people have no way to do the master, so the strength of the East is needed.
But the problem is, how does Zhao Hongyu know the powerful people in the East?
Even if he can slowly make contact and find useful and powerful people, how long will it take?
After all, time is very important to Zhao Hongyu.
"What the Americas lack now is population. Although Zhao Hongyu has a heaven-defying cheating device, the genetic people produced by the cheating device are not only expensive, but they must also be of Chinese descent.
Only in this way can the empire he established be prevented from experiencing some unstable turbulence.
"Maintaining the majority of the population of Chinese descent needs to be strictly enforced."
Therefore, if it is not enough to replenish the empire with genetically cultivated humans, Zhao Hongyu must find another way.
Thinking about it, is there any place in this era that can meet the Song Empire's population needs without conflicting with Zhao Hongyu's rule that he needs Chinese descendants?
"Looking at it this way, the only one left is the Eastern Ming Dynasty.
Because the Ming Dynasty in the east had a large population. And due to natural and man-made disasters in recent years, many refugees and bankrupts appeared in the Ming Dynasty, which greatly affected the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
But even so, it would be difficult for Zhao Hongyu to immigrate from the Ming Dynasty.
But if you can establish a relationship with some powerful people, even if this matter is very difficult, it will become easier to handle.
Emma and Chizuru Hattori didn¡¯t understand this matter, but as a European female aristocrat, how could Sara not understand it after listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words.
As a European female aristocrat, Sarah is generally aware of some of the key operational issues and steps. Because whether it is the East or the West, people in power are basically like this.
But if you blindly touch on things, you may not be able to accomplish the task except spending money.
So, people like Li Xiang who have a strong network of relationships have become very important to Zhao Hongyu.
¡°In fact, the three girls didn¡¯t know that Zhao Hongyu made Li Xiang so important, but he just made it up.
As a Chinese from another time and space, how could he not know the rules of China?
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, he even knew the rules of earlier dynasties.
The reason why he said this was just to give an explanation to satisfy the three women.
"Don't you know that in the Ming Dynasty, you need money to do things, and you need to find people with high officials and real power to do things?"
No, he knows it all.
But no matter what, with Li Xiang's support and guidance, he can indeed make a target.
¡°At least, after going to the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Hongyu can find precise targets and start contact, and at the same time launch a silver bullet offensive.
"Yes, it seems that this guy is really useful." Sara nodded and began to agree with Zhao Hongyu. Emma and Hattori Chizuru turned to look at Sara who couldn't help but nod, their eyes filled with deep curiosity.
Although they listened to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s explanation just now, the two of them still couldn¡¯t understand it.A pirate, a guy who is known as the Dragon King, what use can he have?
It¡¯s understandable that Emma doesn¡¯t understand, after all, she is an Indian.
??In the minds of Indians on the American continent, things are not really complicated and troublesome.
Especially in the Eastern Ming Dynasty where things were done with a lot of rules and even some rules, there would be more things that Emma didn't understand.
This is an ideological difference and generation gap, and has nothing to do with Emma herself.
Even though she followed Zhao Hongyu across half of the world, the little girl¡¯s knowledge is still not enough.
As for Hattori Chizuru, it is even simpler. She is a ninja, but she spent her previous life hiding and killing, and it is impossible to learn this knowledge.
All she knows are some killing techniques.
Only Sarah, a woman who is a noble in Europe, can understand Zhao Hongyu's plan.
Looking at the two girls looking at her curiously, Sara felt that she should explain for her husband.
My husband¡¯s explanation was very general, so the two girls might not understand it very well. If that's the case, then I'd better explain it more clearly.
Then, Sara started chatting with Emma and Hattori Chizuru.
While the three women were chatting, they ignored Zhao Hongyu.
Regarding this situation, Zhao Hongyu was also happy to take some time off.
After all, the explanation I just gave really cost a lot of my brain cells. Now that Sarah is willing to take over this responsibility, it's too late for Zhao Hongyu to be happy.
Time passed by, and after Sara explained to Emma and Hattori Chizuru, the two girls finally understood Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan and need for Li Xiang.
Li Xiang also took his nephew and three Ming-style warships into the waters of Nagasaki.
"Come here, prepare your horses! I'm going to the dock!"
Zhao Hongyu, who was about to run out of time, asked Emma and Sara to stay in the residence. He left the residence with Hattori Chizuru and a group of guards, preparing to go to the dock to meet Li Xiang.
¡°I have done everything I need to do now, and even went to the dock in person, which can be regarded as giving Li Xiang face.
¡°If this guy is still arguing with me, then I won¡¯t tolerate him.
Zhao Hongyu mounted his horse, sat on it and began to gallop towards the pier, thinking secretly during the bumps.
Yes, what I have done is enough now.
You must know that his current status is the crown prince of a country and the heir to a huge empire in the future. In the Ming Dynasty in the east, that person would be the emperor in the future.
And what about Li Xiang?
He is just a pirate.
?According to Hattori Chizuru, it was a pirate.
He is an unfashionable existence. Zhao Hongyu gives him face like this. If Li Xiang still doesn't know what to do, then I'll be sorry.
Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t have that much leisure and patience to waste time with him.
"In short, if Li Xiang and him can't come to terms with each other during this meeting. Then Zhao Hongyu doesn't plan to talk about it. After all, although Li Xiang's network is useful, Zhao Hongyu is too lazy to bother and think about it.
For a rich man like Zhao Hongyu, who wants to get some craft silver from the virtual world to make silver bullets, doesn't he believe that he can't find some useful people in the Ming Dynasty?
The effect of sugar-coated bullets is very powerful even in the 21st century, let alone in ancient times. I don¡¯t know how many officials have been corrupted, let alone officials in this seventeenth century.
When the time comes when money and beauties come together, he doesn¡¯t believe that he can¡¯t handle these people.
Zhao Hongyu has a lot of money. One tael of silver in the virtual world in this era is only twenty yuan even if it is in hexadecimal form.
He fully afforded it, and it was more than enough.
As for beauties, that¡¯s even better. The Japanese just choose some soft girls and dress them up. This is not difficult at all. Who allows Zhao Hongyu to control Kyushu now.
If the big guys in the Ming Dynasty have strong tastes, then they can get some blond, blue-eyed or black women. This will not be difficult for Zhao Hongyu.
In his fleet, there are many women from Europe, America, the Arab world and Africa. There are many such maids around Emma and Sarah
With this in mind, Zhao Hongyu and a group of guards arrived at the dock.
And when he arrived at the dock, three Ming-style warships flying the "Li" flag also appeared in the distance.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Li Xiang's camel is bigger than a horse. He has a Ming-style warship in his hand, which surprises me."
Standing at the pier, Zhao Hongyu picked up the monocular telescope in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He looked at the three Ming-style warships with admiration.
¡° This kind of warship would be an absolute antique in modern times (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
