Chapter 1183: Grinding a mirror in ten years (seeking a monthly ticket)
Although Li Qi had negotiated good opportunities with Park Zhiqian, Iga Baichuan and others in the past, they were only limited to trade, because Li Qi had enough decision-making power in this regard. As for the military alliance, although Li Qi also mentioned it,
Few, but those were all tentative, verbal exchanges, which could be said to pave the way for today, because at that time he was not in charge of the Privy Council, and he had no decision-making power in this regard.
If Huizong of the Song Dynasty is still the emperor, then no matter whether Pu Zhiqian begs his grandfather, sues his grandma, or Li Qi lists thousands of reasons, this is impossible. Don't talk about going to war. If he doesn't break up with you, it will be to give you face.
.
But things are different now. Now that Li Qi holds real power and has strong support from the emperor, he can make full decisions. This negotiation will definitely achieve substantial progress. A new Northeast Asian pattern centered on the Song Dynasty has quietly arrived.
.
Li Qi gave Iga Baichuan and the others one day to discuss. One day later, Li Qi invited Park Zhiqian, Iga Baichuan and the others to the Liyuan again.
Negotiation, negotiation, talks about interests.
As long as the interests are appropriate, then nothing is a problem. As for morals and rules, they are all based on interests.
Why Japan doesn't want to help Goryeo is because they feel that Goryeo can't give them any benefits. In this case, why should I help him? On the other hand, the Song Dynasty is different. They even took the initiative to come and help.
Therefore, the key to this negotiation is not how eloquent Li Qi is, but whether Park Chi-kyeon can use benefits to impress Iga Momokawa and others.
To put it simply, it is what the three parties need to pay and what they will get. Once a consensus is reached on this aspect, the rest will not matter.
However, Li Qi is very confident in this negotiation. The key is that Goryeo is facing a powerful regime. They urgently need assistance, and it is necessary. It is difficult for them to resist Tieting of the Jin Kingdom on their own.
, so. They will definitely give in and will not care about everything as before. If this is the case, then you can go and have fun on your own.
After three days of negotiations, the three parties finally reached a preliminary consensus.
The Japanese samurai promised to send 8,000, 5,000 elite samurai and 3,000 ordinary soldiers. However, since the samurai group could not represent the Japanese court, they decided to go to aid under the banner of businessmen.
The Song Dynasty sent out 80 warships. Among them were 30 of the most advanced ships, as well as bows and arrows and other weapons. In addition, a hundred non-commissioned officers were sent to command the battle.
Goryeo promised to provide Japan with at least 100,000 koku of military rations in the future, and to open trade with the Ping clan. In fact, Goryeo had always wanted to launch trade cooperation with Japan, but the Japanese court did not agree. Therefore, even now,
They must communicate under the banner of private trade. In addition, Park Ji-kyeom also signed an arms sales contract with Li Qi worth 1.5 million guan.
This is what Goryeo had planned long ago. It is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself. Now the rise of the Jin Kingdom has made them feel threatened. Therefore, it is urgent to build a powerful army. Then the arms trade will be logical. If it happens again
If you are reluctant, you may even lose your life.
Not only that, Goryeo also had to build large docks on several islands near its own country for the warships of the Song Dynasty to berth.
After reaching a consensus on interests, the three parties began to conduct in-depth research on strategy. In the end, it was decided that the three parties would first gather on an island near Goryeo. Goryeo would first let the boatmen wait there, and the Song Dynasty would transport the ships there and then transfer them to Japan.
Warriors, of course, before that, Goryeo must try every means to delay the Jin's attack, but Li Qi believed that the Jin would not be so hasty to send troops to Goryeo, after all, it also had to recover.
In addition, the Song Dynasty and Japan were only responsible for sniping the Jin soldiers on the Yalu River. It was up to you, Korea, to fight on land. However, if the Jin soldiers dared to cross the Yalu River, the fleet could cut them off and prevent them from keeping up with their supplies.
As long as Goryeo holds on, the balance of victory will slowly tilt towards them later on.
Finally, the samurai groups represented by Song, Goryeo, and Iga reached a military alliance, and everything discussed above was written into the covenant.
Of course, this military alliance is still dominated by the Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to one big brother and two younger brothers.
……．
The next day.
Boom boom boom!
On the Jinshui River northwest of Tokyo, only rows of soldiers were seen running on the shore, while giant ships sailed on the river.
It turned out that in order to make Park Zhiqian, Iga Baichuan and others more convinced of the strength of the Song Dynasty, Li Qi specially arranged a military drill before they left.
The troops Gein sent to Goryeo were mainly engaged in water operations. Therefore, Li Qi focused this exercise on amphibious operations.
Continuous explosions came from the shore.
Since Li Qi came to Sanya, the Imperial Guards in the capital have become accustomed to exercises of this scale, and the people of Tokyo have long been accustomed to it. On the contrary, this kind of exercise can make them feel more at ease, and they are very encouraged.
"Hurry up!"
I saw small boats approaching one after another. The soldiers on the small boats climbed up by ropes, and the non-commissioned officers on the boats kept urging them.
"Put-put-put."
Whoosh whoosh!
I saw a shower of arrows from several stern boats falling on the fortress on the shore, making a violent explosion. After a burst of thick smoke, the fortress on the shore was almost destroyed.
Under the cover of arrow rain, the soldiers on the ship successfully landed.
"ignition."
Hoo ho ho!
On the three sterns, dozens of Fire God Crows soared into the sky and flew to the boat three hundred steps ahead. After a long period of exploration, the Fire God Crow's hit rate has now reached 50%, but this time
It was just a drill, so there was no gunpowder inside, but bursts of black smoke were seen rising from the boats.
Hand-to-hand water warfare was gradually eliminated after the birth of this series of firearms.
And on a small hill inevitably two miles away from this exercise area, there was a group of people standing, it was Li Qi, Park Zhiqian and others.
Pu Zhiqian was amazed when he saw it, and said repeatedly: "Tsk, tsk. Your country's firearms are really amazing."
Iga Baichuan and others were also dumbfounded. This is how the love war was fought. They were very lucky to have such a powerful ally. Moreover, they were more determined to send troops to support Goryeo because they hoped that they
The soldiers were able to learn such water skills and tactics from the Song Dynasty. They sighed: "This exercise is really eye-opening for us, but it is a pity that we are too far away and cannot see clearly."
Phew! After waiting for a long time, I finally heard your words. Li Qi laughed and said, "Mr. Iga, does it feel far away?"
Iga Momokawa nodded dullly.
Li Qidao: "It's a little far away, but I really didn't mean it. I'm used to supervising battles from such a distance."
"Oh? The Privy Councilor's eyes are so good, he can see so far."
"No, no, it's just because our Song Dynasty has just invented an artifact called clairvoyance. Clairvoyance, as the name suggests, is the ability to see all details thousands of miles away."
"really?"
"Of course."
Li Qi suddenly pulled out a copper "stick" from his waist.
Pu Zhiqian had noticed it a long time ago and said, "Isn't this a flute?"
Flute? It's all in vain to give him clairvoyance with that look in your eyes! If worry hadn't destroyed the clairvoyance, Li Qi would really have rewarded him with clairvoyance. He smiled and said: "Brother Pu, you are joking. This is a treasure. Take it."
You can see thousands of miles away!"
Pu Zhiqian didn't believe it: "There is nothing strange about this clairvoyance?"
"Do not believe?"
Li Qi directly handed over the clairvoyant eye and said, "Take it and take a look."
Just try it! Park Zhiqian took it, and Li Qi told them how to use it.
Pu Zhiqian glanced up doubtfully, and exclaimed, "Oh my god!" His hands shook, and the clairvoyance fell from his hands. Ma Qiao on the side took it easily and handed it to Li Qi.
Li Qi said angrily: "Brother Pu, this thing is very valuable. You should be careful!"
Pu Zhiqian said hurriedly: "Sorry, sorry. Can you lend it to me again?"
"You have to be careful. If it's broken, you'll have to pay for it. This thing costs thousands of dollars."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Li Qi handed it to him again.
Park Zhiqian was mentally prepared this time and picked it up carefully. He closed one eye and looked into the lens tube with the other eye. He immediately exclaimed: "This---this is really amazing and incredible.
"
Iga Baichuan became more and more curious as he listened. After waiting for a while, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he said, "Mr. Park, let us have a look too."
Park Zhiqian reluctantly handed over the clairvoyance to Iga Baichuan.
Iga Momokawa took it and started to look at it. While looking at it, he shouted: "It is indeed clairvoyance. Baby, this is really a treasure! Huh? What is that thing thrown off the boat? It's bulging."
With the help of clairvoyance, I could see everything happening on the river. I saw a series of bulging things, dark red, dropped from a stern.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Oh, that's an airbag made of sheepskin rafts, specially used for underwater combat. Soldiers can stay underwater for a long time with it, and have enough time to destroy the enemy's airbags."
vessel."
"I see, that's really awesome. Your country's water tactics are really impressive."
Later, Fujiyoshi Miki, Hira Takero and others also had a great time.
Pu Zhiqian felt itchy and couldn't bear it. He rolled his eyes and said, "Privy Envoy, what you did is not kind!"
Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said: "Brother Pu, why did you say this?"
Park Zhiqian said: "How can you take out such a good treasure now?"
Iga Baichuan also said: "Yes, you are so unkind."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I just made this."
Park Zhiqian smiled and said, "How about selling me some?"
Iga Baichuan said: "We want this too."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, this thing is not for sale."
"Why is this?"
"Don't look at how small this thing is. It's called exquisiteness. It's really complicated to make. It can be said that it takes ten years to polish a mirror. The cost alone is 5,000 yuan."
"So expensive?"
"Who says it's not the case? If it's cheap and easy to make, it's no problem for me to give you a dozen each. To be honest, I only have more than ten Song Dynasties in total, and I only have three in my hands."
Three?
Iga Baichuan and Park Jiqian looked at each other at the same time.
After a moment, Pu Zhiqian chuckled and said, "The Privy Councilor will take a step to speak."
"What's going on? Hey, hey, what do you want to do?"
Park Zhiqian and Iga Baichuan almost walked Li Qi aside.
After a stick of incense.
Li Qidao: "Hey! This is you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't care. Do you know how much risk I have to take? This is betraying state secrets. Don't tell anyone."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Okay, five thousand guan, just five thousand guan, just think of it as a favor from me. Alas, I'm doing business with my life. I'm really at a loss!" Li Qi sighed reluctantly.
, but I thought in my heart, it seems that I am still too kind. If I had known that they would agree so readily, I would have asked for 10,000 yuan, that's all. It's too expensive, and they can't sell too much.
Five thousand guan of favor, your favor is really expensive!
