Warring States Eagle

Chapter 553 Spanish War Horse

In the port of Hirado Port in Hizen, Kyushu, Zhu Qinfeng's Nanman ship "Knight" was moored there quietly.

Although he has admired the size of this Nanman ship many times from a distance, every time he sees it with his own eyes, Zheng Liang can't help but marvel at the wisdom of human beings. Without the help of later generations of machinery, such a huge ship can be made. .This is a standard European-style sailing ship with a double-layer main body and four masts. It has a double-layer ship building at the rear. What is different from the past is that this time it has a new full-armored knight's bow on its bow. picture.

Since the opposite Hirado Island is the current port of the Luo family's foreign trade, many local businessmen from the Wa country and even the Ming country will choose to park here, which indirectly caused dozens of shops to be established on the side of the Hirado port. , some of which are commercial houses controlled by Zhengliang's wives and concubines.

Although these shops are usually open to locals, their biggest role is to serve as long-term cargo warehouses.As long as they negotiate with merchants from all over the island on the opposite side of Hirado, they will send people to the warehouse here to pick up the goods, and then transport them to the opposite side of Hirado Island to complete the transaction.

"Welcome, my old friend!" When Zheng Liang boarded Zhu Qinfeng's boat with a large group of people, the latter immediately greeted him warmly, "Your complexion is really different than last time." [

"Hmph, I don't dare to be an old friend anymore, and do you think I really look that good now?" Zheng Liang said, staring at Zhu Qinfeng.

Not long after Zhu Qinfeng made a deal with the Shimadzu family, Zheng Liang got relevant information.In Kyushu, the Ouchi family, the Otomo family, and the Shimadzu family are the three tyrants that Zheng Liang is most concerned about. For this reason, Zheng Liang has arranged a lot of detectives in their territory.Coupled with the obvious characteristics of Zhu Qinfeng's Nanman ship, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Luo family detectives.After a little searching, the information about Zhu Qinfeng's transaction with the Shimadzu family was naturally sent to Zheng Liang.

After receiving Zhu Qinfeng's ship docking in Hirado and requesting to meet Zhengliang, Zhengliang didn't need Zhu Qinfeng to come to meet him, and directly brought a group of people to Hirado Port to prepare for the questioning.certainly.In fact, Zhengliang's purpose is to blackmail more benefits.

It is impossible to say that the bad behavior of the Nanmans tearing up the cooperation agreement will not arouse Zheng Liang's anger.It's just that in this troubled age of the Warring States Period, everything is based on profit.If there are greater interests in front of Zheng Liang at this stage, it is estimated that Zheng Liang will tear up the cooperation agreement without hesitation.

In a word, profit comes first.So after experiencing the initial anger, Zhengliang quickly calmed down.Now even if he turned against the Southern barbarians, in fact Zheng Liang would not get much benefit.Even because of this, there will be a lack of a trade channel, and at the same time, the Nanman people will be turned to such powerful as the Shimadzu family, who will in turn use the Nanman people to develop and grow and then deal with the Luo family.Of course, Zhengliang saw the importance of everything being based on his own strength from this incident. If it is the waters along the coast of Kyushu, no.Even the entire coast of the Wa country is his world, so why is it so embarrassing?

However, no matter what, at the current stage when the Luo family is still unable to control the fate of others, it is still the same sentence, interests are higher than anger.Now Zhengliang suppressed the anger in his heart because the southern barbarians tore up the agreement, and then came to the port in person.See if you can get any benefits from the southern barbarians by tearing up the agreement.

"Hehe, dear old friend, it seems that you already know what happened the day before yesterday?" Seeing Zheng Liang's unkind expression, Zhu Qinfeng knew after a little thought that he had already known about the deal with the Shimadzu family in violation of the agreement.

Facing Zhu Qinfeng's friendly smile, Zheng Liang not only said nothing, but even maintained a stern expression, making it look as if he was here for a showdown today.

"Old friend. Please don't get angry. In order to make up for your loss, I brought you a nice gift this time. It's all free." Zhu Qinfeng continued to say cheekily.In fact, at this time, he was unwilling to lose Zheng Liang, his friend and business partner.

At least so far, the Luo family is still his main partner in the Wa country. As for the lords in other places, due to lack of mutual trust, so for the time being.He still has to rely on the Luo family to develop trade locally.So generally speaking, whether it is him or Zhengliang, both of them still need to continue to cooperate.only.Both of them also know that after going through this incident, the relationship between them will be more of a relationship of interests in the future.

"Come on, pull it out." Under Zhu Qinfeng's gesture, a beautiful war horse soon appeared in front of Zheng Liang.

This is a silver-white steed with a shiny coat reflecting the sun's brilliance, but the mane and tail on its neck are golden yellow.Its neck, shoulders, waist... the whole body is full of strength that is about to explode, and the tense muscles on the four legs are quite strong.This horse is just a little short, with the top of its head only about [-] meter, and the height of its back no more than [-] meter. Coupled with its strong body, it seems to be standing there like a huge boulder.

"Is this a Spanish pony?"

"Haha, I knew you would recognize it, yes, it is a local war horse from my hometown. How is it? It is much better than those war horses in your territory? I forgot to tell you, it is still a horse A strong young man who is less than two years old." Zhu Qinfeng said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zheng Liang's eyes lit up when he heard that.Indeed, just as Zhu Qinfeng said, this war horse was indeed much stronger than the local pony of the Wa country in the territory, and it was a good horse at first glance.Zheng Liang couldn't help but instantly came up with an idea, that is horse breeding.

A long time ago, he thought about getting some war horses from the Ming Dynasty, and then adopting the method of mating with local war horses to breed a new generation of war horses from the Luo family.It is a pity that the war horses in the military and in the market of the Ming Dynasty were basically castrated at this time.So the idea never came to fruition.

Now that such a strong Spanish pony suddenly appeared, Zhengliang's plan was naturally brought up again.It is not an easy matter to just breed war horses.

Not to mention, it takes a long time from a horse's pregnancy to birth, and then from birth to growing up to become a war horse.Even the daily feeding of war horses is a matter that consumes a lot of resources.

If a war horse eats only grass, it will not grow fat at all.The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty at this time usually relied on bean cakes, hay, alfalfa, and wheat as feed for their horses.Now it is not easy to maintain a small ranch and a standing stock of [-] war horses in the Luo family.If such a breeding program is added, it is estimated that Dongxiang Heiji, who is in charge of internal affairs, will immediately ask Shang Zhengliang to quit.
