Chapter 454: Cooperation between the East and the Barbarians
Wang Yuanya was a little embarrassed, as most of their support until now relied on "donations"!
Since they couldn't rob, they basically had to ask the local gentry and wealthy people for help.
After all, they're armed, too. They've come to your door asking to borrow some food. Do you dare refuse? If you drive these soldiers crazy, and they resort to the methods of the rebel Li Zhenbei, or at worst, Li Jize's methods of suppressing the local tyrants and dividing up their land, that would be deadly, wouldn't it?
So, they all have to show some appreciation!
just now……
What should we do now? If we don’t provide them with food and wages, what’s the point of the soldiers following them?
Zhang Xiaolan gritted her teeth, mainly because she heard that sentence, "Jingchu will be given to the King of the North!"
She directly stated that she would handle the matter! She wrote to the King of the North and asked him to pay the money.
After all, she was the personal maid of the Northern King's wife, so she naturally sided with our Li Zhenbei. So after this letter was sent...
Hahaha! Li Zhenbei was so happy.
Who would have thought that he only sent out 3,000 soldiers and now he can get the Jingchu Province for free?
Of course he knew Wang Yuanya's character clearly. This girl was a Yijun and his fan, and everything she did was imitating him.
Isn't it just a little bit of silver?
Perfect! He had made a lot of money from Zuo Santong by reselling arms, and now he could buy back a province with just a small amount of money.
It’s a small matter!
So, he generously gave her the silver and appointed Wang Yuan as the highest general of Jingchu, mainly because he wanted to continue using her to ask Li Jize for "firearms".
Jingchu has become a very interesting place!
Because of Wang Yuanya's existence, both Li Jize and Li Zhenbei firmly believed that Jingchu would be "my" territory in the future!
So they were all generous and invested in Wang Yuanya without hesitation, secretly happy. The other party was Sabi! "Don't you know this is a pig-killing scheme? When you invest enough, I will take Jingchu away effortlessly. Let's see what you will do?"
In this way, Li Zhenbei's silver was sent over in a huge amount, and Li Jize's muskets and guns were sent over in a huge amount.
With money, guns, and connections, and the support of two big bosses, even if Wang Yuanya is a pig, she will take off!
If we were to ask who was the most furious right now, it would of course be the Barbarian Regent, Bo Chijin. Damn it! They'd been suppressing these rebellious bandits for so long, not only had they failed to wipe them out, allowing Li Zhenbei and Li Jize to gain a foothold, but now they'd even lost Jingchu!
and……
Jingchu is actually still headed by a woman, which is a slap in the face to Bo Chijin!
That’s not all. Goryeo also had a coup. The person in charge now is Park Geuk-chang. He directly announced that Goryeo has returned to the embrace of Da Qi and will no longer be a vassal of the barbarians.
How angry Bo Chijin must be!
Grandma! What do you mean?
Ah! What does that mean?
A mere Goryeo, now so powerful that it dares to challenge us barbarians? Do you believe that I can stage a "three massacres" for you in a minute?
But Park Gechang said he didn't believe it! Qin Jun's father is here, come on if you dare!
Bo Chijin really had no choice, mainly because of his third brother, this loser! After taking control of his main army, he could not take Li Zhenbei, and he himself had a group of useless soldiers and could not defeat the Qin army.
It’s so terrible! Can you understand this feeling?
Originally, they were in a bitter and cold land, and after spending the efforts of several generations, they finally seized the once-in-a-millennium opportunity of the Great Qi and decisively entered the Central Plains.
and then?
Then, since Li Jize took on the responsibility of "defending the territory", the barbarians' territory seemed to have expanded and occupied the northern part of the Central Plains.
but now?
Damn it! After entering, it was like stepping into a mud pit and being completely stuck in it. I couldn't even pull my foot out.
Bochijin was horrified to find that wherever he looked, he saw enemies. What kind of devilish place was Shenzhou?
This is simply a place for breeding poisonous insects!
Family, who knows! Although he lives a life of luxury and prosperity every day, Bo Chijin feels that it has been so difficult for him to survive these past few years! Because of his special hairstyle, he didn't have much hair on his head, but now it's falling out in clumps!
He could feel that they swallowed an "elephant" in one breath. If they had swallowed it in one bite, they would have become a fat man.
But rather...
Damn Li Jize, he suddenly appeared and grabbed the barbarian's throat.
I have an elephant in my mouth. I want to swallow it but I can't, and I want to vomit but I can't bear to. I just have to endure this miserable pain.
This kind of life is so sad!
what to do? What should he do?
Just when Bo Chijin felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to do...
Finally, the appearance of a memorial gave Bochijin hope.
what?
It turned out that the military governor at Haiphongkou had submitted a petition, saying that a group of East Japanese had arrived and were mumbling something. Later, he found someone who could understand East Japanese and had them translate. It turned out that these people represented the general of East Japanese and had come to seek cooperation with the barbarians!
The Eastern Japanese have finally woken up!
I have to say that the General of East Japan is quite capable and he is not stupid.
We spent money to buy firearms from your Great Qi, but we were robbed as soon as we left Korea. Aren't you making fun of them?
The General of East Wo took advantage of the peace period between the pirates and them, and in addition to sending people to buy firearms, he also sent people to Da Qi to understand the situation.
After learning about the current situation in Da Qi, he suddenly had an idea: maybe he could buy firearms from the barbarians? He even thought that the two sides could cooperate deeply. You barbarians are dealing with the Da Qi court, and we are dealing with the Qi invaders. At least for now, we have no conflict of interest, and our enemies are surprisingly the same.
To be honest, when Bochijin faced this memorial, he sneered and looked down on it.
Haha! Damn it, if you can’t even defeat pirates, what kind of country are you?
but……
When Bochijin saw in the memorial that these pirates were not ordinary pirates and that they had firearms and warships, he fell silent.
Is it possible that these pirates were actually Qin troops disguised as pirates? Could it be that Qingzhou was running out of money, so Li Jize came up with this bad idea?
It's true, Bochijin was quite smart. When he thought about Qingzhou fighting against the barbarians, he inexplicably built a large number of warships.
If Li Jize was in the south, he would want to defend Tianjiang, which is understandable! Tianjiang definitely needs warships to defend it.
But he is in the north, occupying Qingzhou, so it is simply incomprehensible that he is building a navy.
Seagoing ships are extremely expensive. The amount of silver spent on a warship is enough to form an entire cavalry unit.
If we want to plunder Eastern Japan, we need to rely on warships, which seems to be a clear explanation.
