Chapter 152: Deceiving each other
Li Ling met Yoshihito Ouchi, and he felt that his situation was a little bad.↑ Someone actually stared at his fleet and tried to attack them.
Perhaps the Japanese aristocratic families like the Ouchi clan had long colluded with the Japanese pirates, and it was possible that these people were secretly supporting the Japanese pirates.
No wonder Yoshihito Ouchi asked about the situation of the Ming Dynasty in such detail. It seems that he had long wanted to find a way out for the Japanese pirates!
The Lu family also has its own dock here, although it is publicly used by many maritime merchants. The courtyard there is very spacious and can accommodate these people brought by Li Ling.
When maritime merchants go on business, they naturally have to deal with local officials, and their most common method is naturally to give gifts.
Later, the network of relationships became bigger and bigger, and their influence in Japan became bigger and bigger. In the end, they sold their own docks and houses in the port in a panic.
The dock is shared by several companies, while the surrounding yards are unique to each company.
After Lu Xiang settled the few people, he took Li Ling to the Lu family's warehouse. Everything that he usually sells is available here.
Silk, porcelain and even Western glass mirrors are all listed!
Every time the Lu family transported goods from Ming Dynasty, they had to leave 10% of the goods as an emergency. This was the rule left by the ancestors.
"Li Ling, with these things, we can open up the situation in Feiqian Kingdom and even the entire Japan!" Lu Xiang said happily. As long as she could help the other party, she would not mind the value of these things!
"What a silly girl, but that's fine. I guess the boy named Li will not doubt her anymore!" After the two left, the warehouse manager said to himself.
There was no one nearby, and he actually tore off a human skin mask from his face. In an instant, the man changed from a young man in his twenties to a middle-aged uncle.
He continued in a low voice: "More than ten years have passed, I wonder if you still remember me?"
The warehouse administrator threw away the human skin mask and actually walked towards the Lu family courtyard.
The next morning, Li Ling found that Lu Xiang's eyes were red and thought that he was not used to life in a foreign country and had affected the quality of sleep, so he didn't take it to heart!
Trucks of goods were transported from the Lu family warehouse and handed over to the three major families. Their favorability towards Li Ling, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, rose sharply.
The Qianye family governor found out from somewhere that Li Ling wanted to rent a wharf. He worked hard and personally took action. He bought a huge dock from a merchant and sublet it to Li Ling.
The relationship between the three major families and Li Ling gradually improved. There was no grudge between them!
Saburo Ouchi was a trusted retainer of Yoshihito Ouchi. He got a new task from his master. Yoshihito Ouchi asked him to thoroughly investigate the movements of the Qingming Army warships.
This is another test for him by the master. Saburo Ouchi was very excited. If he completed this character himself, how would the acting governor reward him?
When he arrived at the port quietly, he found that except for the three-masted warships that the Ming envoys were riding, he thought there were no other Ming ships.
"Things are wrong!" Saburo Ouchi did not think that the Ming army would care about diplomatic relations between the two countries so much that they did not pay attention to the territory of the former country.
"To the smallest, you are guarding Feiqian Kingdom. To the bigest, the entire Japanese are waiting for the news you brought back!" He remembered his master's advice to him, and looked for the traces of the Ming ships more carefully.
Saburo Ouchi found a small fishing boat, pretended to be a fisherman, and drove to the sea on a small fishing boat.
The Ming army was indeed very sinister. He drove the boat out of the coast for more than 20 miles before seeing the Ming army's warship.
The ships docked side by side on the sea, with a hundred and ten large ships, the smallest of which was two masts.
Saburo Ouchi couldn't help but gasp, how to fight this battle?
Even the three families put all their efforts into a few thousand soldiers, which was as powerful as the Ming army. What did they use to resist the Ming army's artillery fire?
Saburo Ouchi was unwilling to accept it. He did not believe that the Ming army had no weaknesses and quietly leaned against the Ming army fleet. At this time, he could see all the Ming army on the ship and see their activities clearly.
Someone was drying the fishing nets on the deck;
Someone made a fire directly on the deck to cook;
Some people even fish with fishing rods on the bow of the boat!
Saburo Ouchi's lungs were so angry that he was the legendary invincible Ming army? With such loose discipline, how powerful can they have?
He drove forward for a while and confirmed that there were no weapons of destruction such as shells on the Ming army's warships.
There were just some debris piled up on the deck!
It is their luck to be able to defeat some pirates!
You must tell the owner about the situation here. This is great news. Saburo Ouchi thought to himself that without the power of the other two families, you only need to mobilize the soldiers of the Ouchi family and defeat the Ming army with one charge!
Saburo Ouchi hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and quietly left the Ming army's fleet.
After dark, Xiao Ba ordered the soldiers to clean up the deck. After the performance was over, it would be up to see if the fish bit the hook!
"Everyone should be careful. Japanese pirates may come to attack at night. You should not fall into their tricks!"
Although the eldest young master said it was true, Xiao Ba was not sure that someone would really come to attack them at night.
After Saburo Ouchi returned to the shore, he carefully confirmed the location of the Ming army, and then went back to repay his master.
Yoshihito Ouchi, who had received the exact news, was directly excited. If this huge fleet of warships was defeated by them, what a great achievement would it be!
With the achievements of destroying the Ming army this time, his brother can walk sideways in Beijing/du!
I just don’t know what the attitudes of the Shaoer and the Qianye family are? Although the attack on the Ming army was first proposed by the two of them, there is no guarantee that the two families will do their best when the matter comes to an end.
"Brother Da Nei, don't worry, as long as Da Nei is willing to send troops to fight with us, I promise that all three families will do their best, let us defeat the Ming army and carry forward the Feiqian Kingdom!"
Qianye's governor, Chiba Mian, suddenly came to Danai's house. He patted his chest and assured him again.
Sure enough, the Shao Er family also agreed to send troops, and the three families finally reached an agreement on their opinions.
They hurriedly gathered their own fleets and set out in the direction where the Ming army was!
More than a hundred ships and thousands of soldiers.
Although they do not have an advantage in numbers, they have a good position.
These people are full of confidence and will definitely be able to destroy the Ming army this time.
Everyone was full of fighting spirit and finally arrived at the place where Saburo Ouchi was referring to before dark.
Chapter completed!
