Zhao Hongyu didn't know, but Rodelny knew it all too well.
They, the Europeans who traveled across the ocean to the East, originally thought that they could do whatever they wanted here in the East, just like they did on the American continent.
However, the big stick of reality was ruthlessly dealt to them.
The Ming Empire of this era is not comparable to those of the native Americans.
In many places and even in technology, the East was far ahead of Europe during this period, but it may be relatively lagging behind in terms of warships.
In addition to the geographical location, the Europeans were given a good deal of treatment, and then they became more honest.
Roderny has also experienced several naval battles with the Ming Dynasty, so he knows this very well.
And from then on, Europeans like Roderney were very frightened when they saw Akito in the East.
Now when he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of America was actually trying to cause trouble on Akito's territory, he was so scared that his calves started to cramp.
Faced with Zhao Hongyu's inquiry, Baron Roderney responded truthfully: "Your Highness, Akito is very powerful. Just for us to cause trouble on Akito's territory, it is no different from seeking death. I and I My mercenaries are firmly opposed to this sortie."
Zhao Hongyu frowned after hearing this. He really didn't expect that Roderney actually refused his order.
This is not a good situation.
However, after all, Rodelney and the others were just mercenaries hired by him for money, not his soldiers. Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had nothing to do about this situation.
but!
Roderney and the others took their own money. Using money to do things is the mercenary's creed.
If it¡¯s so easy to get your own money, why would you hire them?
no!
We must not let such a thing happen.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to manage in the future.
??Besides, it¡¯s nothing special for them to be afraid of Akito. As long as they provide enough money, they won¡¯t be afraid if they come to fight the devil Satan.
"Each mercenary dispatched can get three imperial gold coins!"
When thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Roddelny's eyes.
Of course, his words were not addressed to Roderney, but to the Portuguese mercenaries who had gathered around him.
Roderny made enough money during the Kyushu Conquest, so he is not short of money at all now. Therefore, the conditions he offered obviously failed to impress him.
" However, the mercenaries at the bottom are different. They don't earn as much as Roderney. In addition, these mercenaries like to spend money lavishly, and after the development of the empire in Nagasaki, they spend money on entertainment, so they don't have much money now.
Now that Zhao Hongyu has offered such a price, it has obviously impressed many mercenaries.
"Lord Baron, we are willing to go! It's just Akito, there's nothing special about it." It didn't take long for someone who was willing to eat crabs to jump out.
A full three pieces of imperial gold coins!
This is not a silver coin but a gold coin!
And behind the American crown prince, there is a large box with gold coins.
"Come here, give this man three gold coins!" Zhao Hongyu called out to a gene man guard and pointed at the mercenary who suggested attacking Roddelny.
"As long as you work for me, I will give you enough reward. And don't worry, I don't think there will be any danger this time. Even if there is danger, I can take you out of here. You all have to be respectful to me. Confidence is.¡±
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s expression was very calm, which caused some psychological changes among the mercenaries.
"Don't you think about it, if there is danger, would I take the risk myself?" Zhao Hongyu smiled and slowly turned his eyes to scan the faces of the mercenaries.
yes!
The American prince¡¯s words are good. If there is really danger, would a big man like him be involved in the danger?
?Obviously this is unlikely.
"If a big shot like this encounters danger, why wouldn't he run faster than a rabbit?"
Um!
From this point of view, perhaps it is just as His Highness himself said, and there will be no danger at all.
NoHowever, for the sake of three imperial gold coins, so what if it is really dangerous.
It¡¯s worth it!
"Please don't forget that when we were in Kyushu, you also saw the combat effectiveness of our imperial army. I promise you that as long as you obey my orders, I can lead you out of danger even if you encounter danger. Besides, , you are mercenaries who work for money, and I have a lot of money here, but I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t have the guts to make money.¡±
As Zhao Hongyu spoke, he turned around and walked to the big wooden box behind him. He leaned down and grabbed a handful of gold coins and let the gold coins fall from his hands.
After the gold coins fell, they made a very tempting sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong.
"We went!"
"I'll go too, we want to earn this gold coin!"
Under Zhao Hongyu¡¯s encouragement, the mercenaries¡¯ desire for wealth was completely ignited.
The fear in their hearts has been completely dispelled. At this time, the mercenaries' minds are filled with imperial gold coins.
Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with the reaction of the mercenaries.
This is what he wants.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, come one by one. I said I have a lot of money, and the empire's wealth is also a lot, but you have to make it based on your skills. It depends on whether you have the courage."
Zhao Hongyu looked at the angry mercenaries with a smile.
Roderny¡¯s face didn¡¯t look good at this time. After all, he was the nominal leader of this team.
However, this baron from Portugal is also very aware of the virtues of his compatriots. They are all typical mothers who have breasts. If someone can give them enough benefits, it is not impossible to abandon themselves.
Therefore, it is difficult for the Baron to stop the reaction of the mercenaries.
If he really tried to stop it, he might even lose his life.
Because doesn¡¯t this prevent big guys from making money?
You must know that destroying someone's financial resources is like killing one's parents. This is something that must never be done.
Therefore, Lord Baron Roderney can only stand there in embarrassment with a tangled look on his face.
Zhao Hongyu saw his expression and reaction, but Zhao Hongyu did not intend to embarrass the baron.
After all, there are still many opportunities to use him in the future, so it is not worth getting rid of him.
Besides, Rodelny¡¯s refusal to carry out his orders this time was just because of fear of the Ming Dynasty.
¡°As long as I slowly let him regain his confidence, then things like this won¡¯t happen in the future.
Zhao Hongyu thought about it and found it a little funny, because what he didn't expect was that Europeans in this era were so afraid of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of thinking was completely impossible in the dynasty ruled by braids.
You must know that during the Braid Dynasty, Europeans were all aloof masters, but it was the Easterners who were afraid of Europeans.
This situation lasted until the founding of New China and was changed, but some of the thinking during the rule of the braids is still affecting future generations.
Even in the new society, the Chinese people still feel that the moon of the kingdom is round, and secretly foreigners are still masters, while their own people arebastards.
But now that Zhao Hongyu has come to this era, he will never let this situation happen.
This is also the consensus reached by him and the high-level officials of the empire, and the goal that everyone strives for together.
That is, let Chinese descendants stand on the top of the world and be a high-ranking master. It can no longer be like in another time and space, where Chinese people are inferior people.
"You come with me and take a look. In fact, there won't be any danger. All your subordinates have gone. If you don't go, how can you convince the public in the future?"
The gene soldiers began to quickly distribute money to the mercenaries, and Zhao Hongyu himself walked to Baron Roderney and whispered to him.
"Your Highness, Akito is not someone to be trifled with. We have suffered a great loss at their hands. If you do this, you will bring us all into a place of eternal destruction."
At this point, what can Roddelny say? Just like Zhao Hongyu said, as the nominal leader of the mercenaries, he must also follow him now.
Otherwise, who among the mercenaries will listen to him in the future.
However, Rodelny still had a bitter look on his face and reminded Zhao Hongyu again.
"I know that when you first came to the East, you were dealt with by the Ming Dynasty. But we Song DynastyThe empire is not for you Europeans. " Zhao Hongyu didn't have any fear on his face, but instead smiled.
well!
Roderny could only sigh deeply, knowing that he could not change His Highness's decision.
"We in the Song Empire are not soft-footed shrimps. Since I dare to make such a decision, then I will definitely not put myself in danger. As long as you follow us, you will know that this time is nothing."
After saying that, Zhao Hongyu stepped off the battleship.
On the shore at this time, a group of 500 Imperial Guards were ready to go. They lined up neatly, attracting the attention of onlookers at the water transport terminal.
Everyone has no idea what these people in weird costumes are doing.
Therefore, everyone is very curious.
At this time, what happened in Yangzhou City has not yet reached the water transport terminal.
So, everyone is here to see something new.
About ten minutes later, the mercenaries also stepped off the battleship.
After ordering people to guard the warship and making a series of arrangements, Zhao Hongyu led a group of imperial soldiers and more than 80 mercenaries to leave the water transport terminal and began to head towards Yangzhou City.
"Hmph! These Francois are so cowardly!"
Hattori Chizuru, who was escorting Zhao Hongyu with a dozen Japanese warriors, looked at the mercenaries running behind and complained. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
