Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Convince People with Virtue
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Fang Linyan was staring at the telescope. Suddenly, he gave an order:
"Stop the ship and send a semaphore to the Japanese saying that we will be inspected!"
After hearing Fang Linyan's words, the rest of the people were shocked. The captain Welgen next to him was already furious and said:
"I can't accept your order!! Your decision will lead us to hell, bastard!"
Fang Linyan said coldly:
"Then what do you think you should do? Set off on a boat and escape immediately. Unfortunately, Mr. Welgen, that is also a decision that will lead you to hell."
"Don't worry, now that I've made this decision, I'm sure I can pass the test."
After discovering that the merchant ship had really stopped, the Japanese sent a small boat and drove directly over in the wind and rain.
Obviously, this small boat was loaded with insignificant cannon fodder, so even if they were captured, the Japanese could fire directly without restraint.
It can be seen that the leader is a middle-aged man with a straight face, wearing the most popular Japanese beard at this time, a pair of small eyes shining, his hair has been wet from the rain, and it is stuck to the top of his half-bald head.
It was very embarrassing.
After seeing Wergen, he immediately stood at attention, clicked his heels, and then made a meticulous 90-degree bow, and then said loudly:
"Dear Captain, I'm sorry for causing trouble to your journey. I, Kazuo Yinchuan, hereby solemnly apologize!"
Welgen's face turned livid and he shouted loudly:
"Because of this damn storm, our shipment has been delayed for three days. Now your delay is likely to lead to serious consequences of breach of contract. According to Articles 7 and 19 of the Marseille Shipping Law,
I will file a lawsuit against you and hold you responsible for all possible consequences!"
When Vergen roared angrily, spittle splashed onto Kazuo Yinchuan's face, but he remained unmoved, silently bending over and maintaining a bowing posture, repeating one sentence over and over again:
"Your Excellency, please cooperate with me in boarding the ship for inspection."
Facing such an inexperienced guy, anyone would feel very overwhelmed. After the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, a man in black behind Yinchuan Kazuo said coldly:
"If your ship is not willing to be inspected within five minutes, then we will return the same way we came."
"If you want to detain us by force, our warships will launch a forcible attack in half an hour."
This guy's words undoubtedly forced everyone present into the corner. At this time, Wergen couldn't help but look at Fang Linyan. After all, he was the one who strongly requested to stop the ship. Once this kind of old-fashioned steam ship stopped, it would start again.
Acceleration is very slow.
If we had listened to Wergen and escaped decisively, there would still be a chance. But now that the ship has stopped, there is no hope of escaping.
Fang Linyan did not refuse at this time, and stood up simply, then pulled Yin Chuan Kazuo aside and said something, and Yin Chuan Kazuo immediately looked over with a surprised expression.
Then Fang Linyan whispered something to him again. Yin Chuan hesitated for a moment, and Fang Linyan immediately scolded him without thinking:
"Haga! Haha, haha!" (Haga, is this a humble thing for you to decide?)
Yin Chuan Kazuo immediately trembled, then he bowed deeply to Fang Linyan, then turned around and gave a few instructions to the people.
Sure enough, although the rest of the people expressed confusion, the Japanese people's extremely high obedience immediately allowed them to carry out the orders of their superiors.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Linyan was sent to the Yura by two people. As the boat approached the Yura, Fang Linyan also saw the people on the deck clearly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, because he knew that this
The level has finally passed.
After Fang Linyan climbed up the rope ladder to the deck of the Yura, he was of course greeted by doubtful and hostile looks. However, Fang Linyan ignored these people, pointed at an acquaintance and walked over directly, laughing and saying:
"I saw you from a distance, but I couldn't see it clearly because of the heavy wind and rain. Now I came over and took a look, and it turned out to be Fujii-kun."
Who is Fujii? He is Togoi’s confidant.
The old sword guard, known as Lord Sumiyoshi, was the number one person under Togoi's command.
This Fujii is the person in charge of intelligence, and can be regarded as the second and third person under Togoi. The information about Fang Linyan’s attack on Fukushima was passed on by Fujii. When Fang Linyan met with Togoi at that time, he
I've seen it twice.
Fang Linyan had seen this guy through the telescope before, so he ordered the boat to stop.
Fujii obviously recognized Fang Linyan, nodded to him and said:
"It turns out to be Hu Sang."
At this time, Fang Linyan said to him:
"There are a lot of people here, let's have a few words alone."
Fujii obviously didn't know how to adapt, and he immediately showed a troubled expression and said:
"Sorry, Hu Sang, this is inconvenient."
Fang Linyan immediately straightened his face and shouted:
"Fujii-kun, it doesn't matter if we talk here. Are you sure you can afford the consequences of leaking secrets? This is related to Lord Togo's entrustment!!"
After hearing these four words, Mr. Togo, Fujii's expression suddenly changed, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. It was obvious that Togo had great authority over him.
Not only that, the surrounding Japanese ship officers also looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces. Some were angry, some were helpless, and some were expressionless...
After Fujii hesitated for a moment, he pointed at Fang Linyan, then sighed and said:
"bring it on."
After the two entered a small cabin, Fang Linyan said simply:
"These three ships cannot be inspected."
Fujii snorted coldly and said:
"Why."
Fang Linyan said calmly:
"Because in addition to normal goods, there are also a lot of contraband, such as opium and so on."
Fujii immediately said angrily:
"Baga! You know it's contraband, why do you still carry it!"
Fang Linyan sneered:
"You want to know why? Well, let me tell you, because the things Mr. Dongxiangjing sold me are too expensive, and I can't get enough money and goods at all! If you want to check these things, you can, even if you have to
The righteous will also be left to you."
"You were so loyal to your duties that you directly caused these goods of mine to be confiscated. The country received huge benefits, but it caused Mr. Dong Xiangjing's goods to be unable to be sold. Then he will definitely be very grateful for your contribution!"
Fang Linyan knows that Dong Xiangjing is a suspicious person. After all, this guy has been assassinated several times, and he was betrayed by his own people. He has been on the verge of life and death several times. No matter how generous and open-minded a person is, he will definitely lose his temper.
Great changes and extremely brutal.
Sure enough, after Fang Linyan said the last words, Fujii's face became very ugly!
Just like what Fang Linyan said, if Fujii is selfless, then the outcome of this matter will be national (Japan) gains, and Dongxiang's interests will suffer huge losses. Obviously, Dongxiang's reaction can be imagined!
Seeing Fujii's silence, Fang Linyan showed a smile, then reached into his arms and took out a "Golden Fanzhao" with a denomination of 20,000 yen. This thing was a special financial product of Japan at that time, equivalent to
of banknotes.
This thing was prepared by Fang Linyan before he set out. He firmly believed in one thing: sometimes money is much more useful than fists.
Then Fang Linyan stood up, pointed at Fujii and bowed solemnly:
"Fujii-kun, please, please help me get through the current difficulties! In fact, smuggling is too frequent in Japan now. There are countless contrabands pouring into the country every day. Even if you strictly enforce the law, other places will also
There is also an influx of contraband, even if you stop me, this behavior is actually meaningless!"
Then Fang Linyan pushed the "Golden Fan Zha" in his hand.
Maybe Fang Linyan told the truth. Of course, the greater possibility is that the numbers on the "Jin Fan Zha" are very convincing.
Fujii was silent, and then said:
"There are too many people on the boat. I can't do this alone."
Fang Linyan laughed and said simply:
"It doesn't matter, you call in the person who can make the decision. What I'm best at is convincing people with virtue!"
Fujii continued to be silent for a while, then slowly picked up the "Jin Fan Zha", looked at the numbers on it, and his face suddenly looked better.
In fact, why was he on this warship, and why did they come to a place that was not outside the war zone even though the United Fleet was currently fighting Beiyang?
The reason is very simple, that is, there is no oil or water on the normal patrol route!
As Togo Heihachiro's power in the navy increased, Togoi began to act unscrupulously.
Most of the senior officials on these two warships have been captured by Dongxiangjing's sugar-coated shells. In fact, it is illegal for this warship to appear here. Its defense area is in another place. The purpose of coming here is to
Doing private work in the name of anti-smuggling.
Once the smuggled goods were found, they were handed over to Dongxiangjing at a low price, and Dongxiangjing then sold them as an intermediary. This guy had lost everything in order to help Dongxiang Heihachirou get to power. Of course, he urgently needed a wave of blood at this time...
As for whether his influence will affect the country's war and great cause, that's none of my business. If the sky falls, there will be tall people in the way.
Of course, it’s not just Japan that has such people, there are also such people in the Beiyang Navy. If you dare to sell ammunition, I will sell weapons. If you dare to attack me, I will run away directly. Everyone
Who's afraid of a warship?
Therefore, in fact, when Fang Linyan shouted "Dongxiang-sama" after boarding the ship, he was actually invincible. As for Fujii's behavior, it was completely normal -----
---I'm working for Mr. Dongxiang, but I also need to make a meal!
Soon, Fujii called in four more naval officers. At this time, Fang Linyan already knew what was going on, so he simply laid down on Ge You, raised his legs high, and placed them on the table opposite.
When the four naval officers saw Fang Linyan's fearless look, one of them suddenly became furious and slammed the table and shouted:
"Damn Chinese! Are you looking for death?"
Fang Linyan knew very well in his heart that the more unscrupulous he acted now, the safer the three ships would be, and the deeper the truth would be buried, so he simply laughed and said:
"Come on, kill me! Killing me is easy, but it will offend Lord Togoi. Do you know what happened to Fukushima who offended Lord Togoi before?"
Then Fang Linyan looked at Fujii:
"Fujii-kun, do you want to tell him? If I hadn't been merciful and said good things in front of Lord Sumiyoshi, Fukushima's ten-year-old daughter and wife would not have survived!"
The example given by Fang Linyan immediately sent chills down the spines of everyone present. Of course they knew about Fukushima, but they didn't know what the inside story was. After being exposed by Fang Linyan, they must have thought deeply about it.
fear.
You know, among the four people present, three of them have a status worse than Fukushima!
At this time, Fang Linyan's psychological tactics can be put simply in four words: coercion and inducement. If there are four more words, it is a fox pretending to be a tiger.
The time for coercion was almost over, and of course it was time for inducement! He slapped the four "Golden Patriarchs" on the table, looked around and said:
"Everyone is working for Mr. Dongxiang. As a Chinese, I am actually very embarrassed. But now that I have to go to sea in this situation, who is not messing around with their heads up? Among these four golden seals, each one
Zhang Du has 20,000 yen (yen), which is a small token of my respect from you all. Please take care of me."
After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan stood up straight and bowed deeply. This is what the Japanese do. Four generals, you look at me and I look at you. Fujii coughed and walked out. Then the four of them silently
I collected the money and left immediately.
After only waiting for about five minutes, someone came to Fang Linyan, bowed deeply to him, and then said:
"Your Excellency, please come with me."
Immediately afterwards, Fang Linyan recognized this person. His name was Shan Pingchuan. He was one of the members who had brought him to the boat in a small boat. Obviously, this person's status on the boat was not high and he could be stepped on by anyone.
A kick, otherwise, he wouldn't be sent as cannon fodder to inspect merchant ships.
After all, many merchant ships nowadays are not kind-hearted people. Once the agreement is not reached, the first one to suffer will be the one who goes up for inspection.
Then Fang Linyan walked out of the hatch and found that most of the people gathered outside had dispersed, but there were still several Japanese sailors gathered not far away, discussing something heatedly, and then looked over coldly,
He looked very unhappy.
Fang Linyan said he didn't care about this. Now that his upper-level joints have been completely opened, what role can these lower-level soldiers play?
But just when he passed by these soldiers, Fang Linyan felt an indescribable fanaticism in the eyes of these soldiers. Emotions such as hatred, madness, excitement, nervousness, etc. were also reflected in them.
Suddenly, Fang Linyan looked around, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind:
"What would have happened if they had shot me?"
