Song Yang called the guards and took the three Japanese pirate brothers to the guard camp to take care of them.
After the person left, he looked at Gao Junyan, who had not interrupted and was confused.
"My lord... you are so versatile!" Gao Junyan admired him sincerely.
Before the natural disaster, Jiangning was a very developed and prosperous place in Daqian.
There are not many people who can speak foreign languages. There are many people in the interpretation hall.
But as a prince, Song Yang can also master a foreign language, which shows the difference.
"I'm just learning when I'm bored. I've dabbled a little." Song Yang said with a smile.
"Old Gao. I had a chat with three Japanese pirates just now..."
Song Yang told Gao Junyan what he had just said to the Japanese pirates.
Gao Junyan generally knew about the Japanese pirates' defection to Song Yang.
The three guys kowtowed and wore their clothes in reverence to Song Yang.
Gao Junyan guessed what method Song Yang used to recruit these three people.
Sure enough, when Song Yang said it, Gao Junyan said with admiration:
"Your Majesty's strategy of using the enemy to defeat the enemy is very clever. Our cadres are rarely dealing with the Japanese, and their tactics and strategies are not very clear. By letting these three people be the vanguard, we can save a lot of effort."
Song Yang smiled and said: "Yes. That's what I mean. And we will provide money and supplies so that the three of them can build up strength and gather the refugees from various places."
"What the prince said is true. It's just that people who are not from my race must have different minds. We have to be more careful."
Gao Junyan nodded and put forward his own suggestion.
"This point is to note that there must be enough officers in their team that we trust. These matters are left to Yu Ming to arrange."
After saying that, Song Yang asked the guard to find Yu Ming.
Yu Ming came soon after.
On the way here, the guard had already roughly explained the matter to Yu Ming.
"Lao Yu. You and Lao Gao will form a temporary team and be responsible for helping those three people form a preliminary team. You two will discuss various issues such as how to arrange our people, how to supply, and where to supply."
"The boss is responsible for the personnel, and the boss is responsible for the supply of materials."
Song Yang was a typical hands-off shopkeeper, so he found Yu Ming and started assigning tasks directly.
"Your Majesty, shall we investigate the situation of the Japanese pirates ourselves?" Yu Ming asked.
"Tan! It's hard to say when these three people will be able to form combat effectiveness. We have to be prepared ourselves." Song Yang said with certainty.
"Yes! I understand." Yu Ming nodded.
Song Yang asked Yu Ming and Gao Junyan to discuss the matter of supporting the Japanese pirate brother for three days.
Three days later, Song Yang had a plan on his desk.
It was jointly formulated by Ming and Gao Junyan.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at our plan. Is there anything you would like to add or modify?"
"That's right, just follow this."
In this plan, it is planned to provide a team of 100 people to the three younger brothers.
These hundred people were all selected from Minzhuang and retired Renaissance Army soldiers, and were absolutely loyal to Jiangzhou.
These one hundred people are the help and control of the three Japanese pirate brothers.
The three Japanese pirate brothers have no objection to this. (I definitely dare not!)
With this base of 100 people, we then went to the coast of Northland to recruit refugees, and eventually expanded to a team of at least 2,000 people.
In addition, in terms of materials.
The first is ships. Jiangzhou will provide them with enough small ships and a small number of medium-sized ships to allow them to operate in offshore areas.
As for more boats, you need to rob other Japanese pirates.
Secondly, there are weapons. Jiangzhou has many obsolete swords, guns, swords and halberds.
In the past, in order to deal with the Liu brothers and sisters in Tanzhou, most of the cold weapons were sold to alliance members.
After Tanzhou was pacified, most alliance members began to reduce the number of troops.
The extra weapons returned to Jiangzhou.
Song Yang sold it at a high price and bought it at a low price. He really made a fortune by flipping it.
The original plan was to melt these weapons into iron ingots.
Later, Yu Ming suggested to keep it temporarily, and maybe it could be used by setting up a Minzhuang patrol team later.
That's why I kept it, but I didn't expect that this time it would be used by the Japanese pirate brothers.
Finally, there is the support in terms of food, grass and money.
For the safety of food and grass and the convenience of supply, Gao Junyan suggested that the supply point of the Japanese pirate brother should be placed in Jiangyin.
Jiangyin has entered the Jiangkou, with convenient transportation and superior geographical location.
Whether it is going to sea or returning to port, it is better than making supply points directly on the coast.
Moreover, Jiangyin’s strategic location is also good.
All it takes is cannons on both sides of the bank to block the Yangtze River.
Jiangyin City already has twenty Tiger Crouching Cannons, and they only need to establish a stronghold in Jiangbei.
In this way, if the Japanese pirates are chased back, they can hide for a while.
"Okay. Not bad. Let's do this. Let's recruit those three guys." Song Yang put together the plan and said.
"Huh? That's not right! Your Majesty, we forgot one thing!"
As soon as Song Yang finished speaking, Gao Junyan slapped his thigh and shouted.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Song Yang tilted his head and looked.
"We don't speak Japanese! We can't let the prince communicate everything."
Gao Junyan expressed his worries.
really.
This matter was ignored.
That day, Song Yang communicated with the three Japanese pirate brothers. After the communication, Song Yang told Gao Junyan and Yu Ming about the matter.
Gao Junyan forgot about the Japanese language.
"Um...is there no one from the interpretation center in Jiangning?" Song Yang asked.
"Alas! There are, but there are no people who can speak Japanese. A few days ago, the official asked people to find people from the old interpretation hall, and only found three people who can speak Nanban and two who can speak Thai and Spanish."
"A few years ago, there was an old translator of the Japanese language, but he died of illness at the beginning of this year."
Gao Junyan shook his head and said.
After catching the Japanese, he immediately went to find a translator.
Unfortunately it was not found.
"Huh? How can those people communicate with the Japanese without an interpreter? They can't pretend to be Japanese pirates with their hands, right?" Song Yang asked doubtfully.
"Ouch! Look how stupid I am!" Gao Junyan slapped his head and shouted.
It turns out that this guy actually ignored this point.
He was only thinking about interpretation, and he even forgot that those pretending to be Japanese pirates must be able to speak Japanese!
"Prince, Lao Gao, those people you are talking about are not the thirteen people who were sent to Daye?" Yu Ming asked.
The last time he came, the group of thirteen had already escorted him away.
But later Yu Ming met the thirteen people at the pier.
"Yes, that's them!" Gao Junyan nodded.
"Those people may not be reliable. If you ask them to translate, they may betray you!" Yu Ming frowned.
When he said this, Song Yang and Gao Junyan fell silent.
Just now I regretted not asking them about the Japanese language. Now Gao Junyan also felt that it would be inappropriate to ask them to translate.
To form a Japanese pirate team, translation is the most important thing. If there is no reliable person to translate, you will be tricked to death and you don’t know how you will die.
"Then what to do now?" Song Yang scratched his head and looked at Yu Ming and Fang Zhe with some embarrassment.
They were also at a loss.
When I was in a dilemma, the guard standing guard at the door poked his head in and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say below."
"you say!"
"That... Lord Fang Zhe may speak Japanese!"
Song Yang, Gao Junyan, and Yu Ming were all stunned by the guard's words.
Does Fang Zhe still have this skill?
Song Yang didn't even notice.
"What's going on? Tell me." Song Yang waved the guard in.
The guard said that it turned out to be what happened the day before yesterday.
The guards were not on duty that day, so they rested in the guard camp.
Fang Zhe went to the guard camp to check supplies, food, accounts and other matters, and met three Japanese pirate brothers wandering around the camp.
These three people were trapped in the guard camp, but their personal freedom was still guaranteed. As long as they did not leave the gate of the guard camp, they could wander around the yard at will.
The three of them didn't know Fang Zhe, and they didn't say hello when they met.
When Fang Zhe saw that these three people looked crooked and cracked, he knew they were not from the guard camp.
He thought he had encountered a spy.
He stopped these three people and was about to ask, but these three people spoke loudly first.
Then Fang Zhe also chatted up the conversation.
The patrolman heard the chatter here and came over to see that it was Fang Zhe and the three Japanese pirates talking.
So everyone in the guard camp basically knew that Fang Zhe knew Japanese.
Fang Zhe also knew the origins of these three Japanese pirates.
Of course, this matter was not under Fang Zhe's control, and he had never communicated with Song Yangti or the three Japanese pirates.
"Where's Lao Fang? Ask him to come." Song Yang waved his hand and said.
"Your Highness, Mr. Fang didn't come today. He said he was alone because he was too hungry. He didn't come yesterday afternoon," the guard said.
The government bodyguards are responsible for patrolling, guarding, and guarding the government offices.
It can be said that they know best who is coming and who is not coming in the yamen today.
"Is Lao Fang sick?" Song Yang was stunned.
Fang Zhe is in pretty good shape. He can still have diarrhea for two days after having diarrhea. It seems to be quite serious.
"It seems so. I saw him running to the latrine several times yesterday morning." Yu Ming nodded.
"Uh. Then let's go to Lao Fang's house and have a look." Song Yang suggested.
So the three of them formed a group and left the government office, preparing to visit Fang Zhe.
When we arrived at the gate of the government office, we met Ma Cheng and Gongsun Qi who were returning from outside.
So there were two more patients in the visiting team.
On the way, I talked about the formation of a Japanese pirate team.
Ma Cheng also agreed.
He also said that he would fully assist with the ship affairs.
Originally, the plan was to give one point to Ma Cheng, but now we happened to watch it together.
"That... Your Majesty, this Japanese pirate camp... doesn't sound very good."
Gongsun Qi, a man of few words, spoke up.
This guy rarely talks, but what he says is quite constructive.
When Song Yang heard this, he felt that what he said made sense.
It's really not nice to call it a Japanese pirate camp.
Those who didn’t know better thought they were in the same group as the Japanese pirates.
"Then let's call it Tokyo Camp." Song Yang thought for a moment and said.
Yu Ming asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what does Tokyo Camp mean? Is it named after Luoyang, the eastern capital?"
The great generals made Luoyang the eastern capital, also called Tokyo.
As for Bianliang at that time, it had not been developed yet.
And what Song Yang was talking about was not Bianliang or Luoyang.
It’s the one from Japan!
"Just call it that, and you will understand later." Song Yang emphasized.
From then on, there was an additional Tokyo Battalion in Dagan, and many years later the Tokyo Battalion was reorganized into the Tokyo Garrison Command.
