Chapter 502 Buying the Banner Book
"Where... is this place? Who are you?" Taro Ono looked dazed when he woke up. He was lying on a bed, and besides him, there was a naked woman.

"Ono-kun, what's the matter with you?" After getting up, the woman lazily said to Ono Taro, it turned out to be pure Japanese.In other words, this is a woman from Dongying Kingdom, not a Han woman.

Ono Taro's back turned cold, but fortunately she was not a Han woman, otherwise the crime would be serious, and maybe the Kyushu Army would blame her for having sex after drinking.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Ono Taro got up and put on his clothes, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"It was the general of the Kyushu Army who asked the servants to come here to serve the lord. Does the lord think that the servants are not serving well enough?" The woman on the bed also asked Taro Ono while getting dressed.

"No..." Ono Taro was a little apprehensive, this was not a woman who was found by ordinary people to serve him, but a general of the Kyushu Army.Besides Shi Daxuan, Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhihu, the three giants of the Beiyang Fleet, who among the officers of the Kyushu Army in Japan can be called a general?
And after Taro Ono got a hangover, how could he remember how well he served...

But Shi Daxuan found a woman for Taro Ono, what does that mean?Could it be that you want to win him over?But if you stay here for too long, you will inevitably be misunderstood by others, so it is better to leave quickly.

"Ono-kun, did you have a good time last night?" A Chinese businessman was waiting outside early in the morning, and was caught when Taro Ono hurriedly opened the door and wanted to leave.

"Who is your Excellency?" Ono Taro saw that he was on a boat, and the way to escape was blocked.

"I am under the orders of General Shi Daxuan, and you must let Mr. Ono enjoy himself. General Shi Daxuan is inconvenient, so I asked Xiao Ye to act on his behalf. In addition, this is a little wish from the general. Please accept it." The Huaxia merchant from the long He took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve and secretly handed them to Taro Ono.

"General Shi Daxuan, what do you mean by this..." Ono Taro looked at the silver note that the Huaxia businessman took out, and was greatly surprised. Such a large sum of money is his?

"General Shi wants to be friends with Ono-kun. It's right for friends to give gifts to each other, right? Besides, there are no outsiders here, so please accept Ono-kun. It's not good to let down General Shi's wishes." The Huaxia businessman laughed and said He looked around specifically and said that no one else knew except them.

"General Shi is really generous, since that's the case..." Taro Ono swallowed as he looked at the huge amount of money, but couldn't help but take the stack of bank notes, "If General Shi needs help in the future, I will definitely do my best.”

"Okay, may the friendship between Ono-kun and General Shi last forever!" Seeing that Ono Taro accepted the bank note, the Huaxia businessman secretly breathed a sigh of relief for completing the task.

Ono Taro secretly benefited from the Kyushu Army, and became closer to Shi Daxuan, and he didn't pay much attention to counting firearms, as long as the number was right.

This time Ono Taro brought a thousand shogunate troops to carry the firearms.However, Yokohama Village is the garrison of the Kyushu Army, and the shogunate army cannot enter without authorization. Instead, the Kyushu Army troops stationed at Yokohama Port will first transport the goods to the border of Yokohama Port, and then the shogunate army will take the firearms away.

"General Shi, thanks to your care during this period, I need to escort this batch of supplies back to Edo Castle. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I must repay the general's kindness." Taro Ono said.

"Why be polite, I just happen to have a few jars of Shaoxing's daughter red wine in my hand, so I will give them all to my virtuous brother." Shi Daxuan ordered the soldiers to hand over several jars of wine with red paper to Ono Taro's men.

"It's so embarrassing, it really makes people fearful." When Taro Ono saw these jars of good wine, he couldn't help thinking about what kind of good job he had accepted, and he received a servant, a bank note, and fine wine successively. , Also won the friendship of the deputy commander of the Beiyang Fleet.

"Our Beiyang Fleet focuses on the affairs of Dongying and Korea. We should be stationed here for a long time. We will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I believe we will meet soon." Shi Daxuan said.

Taro Ono happily returned to Edo Castle with [-] muskets and ten cannons, as well as the corresponding ammunition rationed by the Kyushu Army.

Shi Daxuan watched the thousand shogunate troops leave with his hands behind his back.This is the boundary of the Musashi Kingdom in Dongying during the Warring States Period. Because Zheng Zhilong's expeditionary army defeated the army of the Shimadzu family here, and at the same time forced back the fallen coalition forces under the Edo Castle, the Musashi Kingdom has returned to the control of the shogunate. A thousand shogunate troops escorting this batch of firearms can already guarantee the safety of the firearms.Of course, in the eyes of the Kyushu Army stationed in Yokohama Port, a thousand shogunate troops are really not enough. Two hundred Kyushu Army armed with bayonets can defeat them by charging.

"It's much easier to buy these banners than to buy daimyos. There are already many banners like Ono Taro in the intelligence department's list?" Shi Daxuan asked the Huaxia businessman next to him.

"General Shi, forgive me for not having the right to confess this kind of thing to you." The Huaxia businessman said.

"The intelligence department is a special agency, and I should have no right to ask. But the shogun who really controls the military power in the shogunate is the shogun, followed by the old middleman and daimyo, and the next is the banner with only a few hundred shi and a few thousand shi. These There are only a few dozen people under Banner, and hundreds more, can they really control the military power of the shogunate? If they can't seize the military power of the shogunate, there is no need for the Intelligence Department to spend a lot of resources to win them over, right? " Shi Daxuan asked from the side.

"The military master proposed that the Warring States Period in Japan was an era in which subordinates overcame superiors, that is, subordinates replaced superiors, families usurped masters, retainers eliminated patriarchs, and farmers expelled samurai. Now Japan is re-divided into Eastern Army and Western Army, and the two sides are at war. The current daimyo It will be hit hard, but the middle and lower classes are most likely to become an emerging class, and this class needs to be in our hands." The Huaxia businessman said.

"Will Banner replace the daimyo and the shogun and become the backbone of the shogunate army? It's really interesting, and I'd like to see that day come." Shi Daxuan said fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"The more chaos in Dongying Kingdom, the better for us, isn't it? Our intelligence department is deployed in a dark place, and the adults just need to watch the show from the sidelines." The Huaxia businessman said.

"Heh, I used to think that killing people at sea and monopolizing trade were the most profitable things, but now compared with the practice of supporting forces and comprehensive infiltration, it is simply nothing." Shi Daxuan shuddered when he thought of what the Intelligence Department was doing.
