Vol 13 Chapter 150: identification

Popular recommendation:
The reason why such a bizarre phenomenon occurs is because of the deformed environment in China today. The foundation of the Qing Dynasty’s rule has been rotten in the Taiping Rebellion. After the Western invasion, a large number of people of insight are also resentful in their hearts. Door.
As for the court, hehe, everyone can see what kind of it is!
However, what the Qiao family did this time seems to have opened a new door for them.
What the patriots see from this is: It turns out that we can serve the country without going through the imperial court!
What the well-known sees is this: It turns out that I can increase my reputation in this way.
What the rich see from this is that they can make money with money in this way.
What careerists see from this is: It turns out that money can be transformed into fame and force in this way!
And the uncle of the Qiao family, who is in the center of the vortex, has the deepest experience:
After the news came, Qiao Jiakai's bank in Shanghai was directly bombed!
In order to support the expeditionary army, even the old man wearing leather shoes came to the "Da Detong" ticket number created by Qiao's family to save money, and he himself received a snow-like invitation. , posted it directly.
Not only that, but the Li family, who had been frequently stumbling with themselves in the shopping mall recently and undermining them, actually shunned them, saying that they admired the loyalty of the Qiao family and did not dare to entangle them any more.
But the uncle of the Qiao family is very clear about one thing. If the of the Li family were loyal, then they would not have forced seven people to death for the sake of three acres of water last year. They were afraid!
The Qiao family can hire Russians to sack Nagasaki, Japan, then of course they can hire Russians to sack their entire family!
The uncle of the Qiao family immediately and keenly realized that this kind of business must continue to lose money, not to mention that the dust has not yet settled, and his family has already made a lot of money.
Therefore, due to the keenness of the businessman, the uncle of the Qiao family began to instinctively absorb those who took the initiative to approach, and of course there were resources ------- everyone formed a state of warming up, sharing resources, and even more power. Expanding like a snowball, of course, you will feel that the road is getting wider and wider.
Of course he doesn't know, this is the prototype of the consortium! And once a monster like a consortium takes shape, how terrifying the power that erupts in the face of obstacles ahead will be!

three days later,
Watching another huge warship start slowly and leave the dock full of items plundered from Nagasaki Port, Fang Linyan showed a smile on his face, and then looked at Zheng Xianren next to him.
"Sorry... I really can't wait any longer. The time for safety in Nagasaki is running out. The combined fleet will appear on the sea outside Nagasaki Port in fifteen hours at most. "What are the plans of the Zheng family?"
Zheng Xianren, who was standing next to Fang Linyan, smiled brightly, and of course he was quite high-spirited:
"Being able to hold Nagasaki in your hand, and possess it for a few days as if you were ravaging a slut, this is already the peak that the Zheng family can reach in the past 153 years! Next, we are going to negotiate with Japan. ."
"Negotiation?" Rao Shi made various considerations, but Fang Linyan did not expect to hear such two words.
Zheng Xianren said with confidence:
"Of course, we are a group of businessmen, and the essence of businessmen is to chase profits. Now that we have enough chips in our hands, of course we can negotiate a deal with the Japanese government. , we will use a spokesperson."
"Wait!" Fang Linyan was also a sharp-minded person, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Are you planning to use the entire Nagasaki as a bargaining chip? Are you crazy?"
Zheng Xianren laughed, and even burst into tears:
"That's right! When the Tang Dynasty's house wailed amid the fire and thick smoke, and then turned to ashes little by little, my heart died, and my whole body went crazy!"
"Brother Hu, as far as you are concerned, the destruction of Tang Ren's house is just one less place for sightseeing and a smuggling port, but for us!"
Looking at the excited Zheng Xianren and the several young Chinese businessmen behind him, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important thing, that is, personal emotions!
He was about to speak when he heard Zheng Xianren's grief and indignation:
"I am fifty-eight years old now, born in Tangren Yashiki, studying here, meeting the first girl I liked here, building a family here, and even before that day comes, I will be buried after death. Among the ancestral graves here..."
"However, everything has changed. All my thoughts, memories, and longings have all turned into smoke, blood, and ashes... That's my hometown!"
Speaking of the last few words, Zheng Xianren was already hoarse, the blue veins on his neck bulged, and he was breathing in a low voice, like a dying beast:
"In the past three days, my people have buried a lot of explosives in Nagasaki, and there are hundreds of firehouses full of inflammables. Jiaguang is helping me with the final work."
"So, if the Japanese government can't meet my request, then let Nagasaki be buried with my hometown."
The main building materials in Japan are "bamboo, wood and paper". The reason is that earthquakes occur frequently here. If these materials are used to build buildings, it is not easy to hurt people even if they collapse, and the reconstruction speed is very fast.
The disadvantage is of course also obvious, afraid of fire!
Japan has occupied several of the world's famous fires.
In 1657, the Mingli fire burned directly for three days. The fire in Edo Castle burned down more than 500 samurai mansions, more than 300 temples, more than 9,000 warehouses, 61 bridges, and 100,000 people lost their lives.
In 1945, General Li Mei of the US military used napalm against Tokyo, and a quarter of Tokyo was reduced to ashes, with 200,000 casualties and one million homeless. The most ironic thing is that in the end, the Japanese actually awarded the highest-level "Order of the Rising Sun, First Class" to General Li Mei -- ahem, Li Mei arrogantly refused to receive it.
Under such circumstances, Zheng Xianren's arrangement for Nagasaki really has the ability to turn Nagasaki into a sea of ​​fire, and his bargaining chip turned out to be the entire city! There is no doubt that this time will really make the Japanese government bleed!
Zheng Xianren turned his head to look at the west face, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Of course, first of all, I want to convince the Japanese government that I have the ability to turn the entire Nagasaki into ashes, so let's use Isahaya as a sacrifice for Tang Ren Yashiki!"
Isahaya is a town below Nagasaki City, similar to the administrative level of the prefecture! It is more than 20 kilometers away from Nagasaki. The two were standing on a hill outside Nagasaki at this time, looking far into the distance, they could see that billowing smoke had already appeared in the west. It should be that the manpower arranged by Zheng Xianren had already been activated.
Looking at Zheng Xianren, who was already hysterical, Fang Linyan sighed slightly, feeling that his methods were a bit extreme.
But don't persuade others to be kind without suffering others. Fang Linyan has not experienced the severe pain of Zheng Xianren's hometown being destroyed, so he can't judge his methods. He nodded to Zheng Xianren, then turned and left.
After returning to his residence in the Nagasaki Naval Port, Fang Linyan found that a man was already waiting here. After seeing Fang Linyan, he saluted and said:
"Master Hu, what you said to the big housekeeper yesterday has been done, and now these people are already waiting in the conference room next to you."
Fang Linyan nodded, then got up and went to the conference room next to it. This was originally the staff room used by the Japanese when they were stationed in the military port.
Right now, there were four Russians, five big and three thick, chatting and laughing casually. Some of them were still chewing pickled cucumbers. When they saw Fang Linyan, they hurriedly stood at attention.
Fang Linyan has already expressed that he is used to it, Lao Maozi is not afraid of death, it is their characteristic to be able to fight, but it is also common for the military discipline to be sloppy and rough.
After Fang Linyan walked into the staff room, he saw about five Japanese people in kimonos. Judging from the material of the kimonos they were wearing and their plump figures, they should all be rich people.
And this group of people were talking worriedly. As soon as they saw Fang Linyan, they immediately closed their mouths, then stood up one after another, and bowed 45 degrees directly at him.
Fang Linyan didn't speak, and looked over their faces. After a while, he found a stool and sat down, and then said casually:
"I heard that you are the famous big merchants in Nagasaki! Especially in the identification of antiquities, it can be said that you are very proficient."
If it were the other time, place, and occasion, then these five people would definitely be very happy to hear such compliments, but in this kind of place---------It is said that there are tens of thousands of warriors of the emperor here. People are broken, these five people can't wait to be a pauper with nothing, the more low-key the better.
A fat businessman wailed directly:
"Your Excellency, we have already provided the army three times to reward the army. We have really tried our best and we have gone bankrupt."
Another businessman named Jinzong Jiuri also complained:
"It's really about to be cornered, my lord!"
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"I heard that if a person is extremely thirsty, he can drink his own urine. If I wanted to sell a bowl of water at that time, a bowl of 200,000 yen, I wonder if you would buy it? ?"
"By the way, there is a kind of torture in China. A knife is cut on a child's body, and then a salt is put into the wound. After ten cuts in a row, the child is made to cry in the cell for an hour, and then carry a bucket to rinse. The water from the wound was sold to his father, and it was very cheap, only 200,000 yen, I wonder if you are interested?"
As soon as Fang Linyan said these words, the merchants present immediately turned pale, and even two people were so frightened that their lips trembled at the scene he described.
After the five people discussed, the big fat man at the head could only stand up and said with a pale face:
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency, I am willing to donate another 600,000 yen as military expenses. I just ask your lord to raise your hand."
Fang Linyan laughed out loud, and then said with great interest:
"Who is your Excellency?"
The big fat man trembled:
"In Shimosokawa Jingzhong."
Fang Linyan stepped forward, patted his shoulder and smiled:
"Just now, I was just joking, and I didn't want you to pay. However, there is indeed one thing that needs your help."
Then he took out the broken battle flag he had obtained earlier.
"I got this thing by accident, I like it very much, but I don't know its origin, but I have asked many people in Nagasaki and I can't tell."
"So, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. I'm a special person. When I'm in a good mood, I will forget what I said/planned to do, but if I'm in a bad mood, before I feel bad, I will forget about it. There are some bold ideas that are about to be implemented.

Hearing Fang Linyan's words of tiger and wolf, how dare these five bosses slack off, they immediately got the "broken battle flag" and watched carefully.
After Hosokawa Jingzhong took a few glances, he discussed it with the rest, and immediately said to Lin Yan:
"This item should not be an antiquities in our country, but my uncle should be able to identify it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
Another businessman also said:
"Your Excellency, I can see that you attach great importance to this, so I hope to call the shopkeeper in the store. He is an expert in this field."
Fang Linyan nodded.
Half an hour later, after the group of Japanese murmured for a while, Hosokawa Jingzhong finally stepped forward, bowed deeply, and returned the broken battle flag to Fang Linyan with both hands, and then said seriously:
"Your Excellency, we have identified this antique of yours."
Fang Linyan was refreshed and immediately said:
"Okay, you say."
Hosokawa Jingzhong said:
"This battle flag is not my Japanese antiquities, but something from China. According to the analysis of several masters, it is the flag left by the Ming army during the battle of Wenlu Qingchang that year."
After Fang Linyan first heard the "Battle of Wenlu Qingchang", he felt very unfamiliar, but then he suddenly remembered that it should be the Korean campaign among the three major campaigns of Wanli!
During this war, there were two more popular words in the history of North Korea, Yi Sun-sin and North Korean turtle ship.
Japan indirectly led to the death of the historical legend / Guan Bai / Monkey / Kinoshita Tokichiro, and the Tokugawa family also successfully usurped the throne.
Although the Ming Dynasty won, it was also greatly damaged. Li Rusong, who guarded the northeast, died in battle, providing external conditions for the subsequent rise of Nurhaci.
Hosokawa Jingzhong continued to explain:
"According to the Chinese theory of Five Virtues Reform, the Ming Dynasty is a fire virtue, so most of the battle flags in its army are red, and the most important battle flags in the Ming Dynasty are three, the sun flag, the moon flag and the dragon flag. ."
"According to our judgment, this battle flag is the sun flag of the Ming army."
