In front of Xiao Letian were more than a dozen pirate representatives led by Noheita and Xiao Bingtaro. There were more than a hundred pirates who were restlessly drinking sake on the streets of Sakuranosu. These people were already anxious when they were waiting for this celebration, because everyone knew that there would definitely be rewards at the celebration. Isn’t the brothers who work hard to do their best to just give them a reward?

Xiao Letian tapped the tatami gently with his fingers, as if he was thinking. The whole hall was silent and no one dared to speak loudly. The gentle tapping sound seemed to hit No Heita's heart. After a while, the swordsman became a little uneasy.

At this time, Xiao Letian suddenly said, "No Heita, I am going to form an assault force directly to me. The legion code-named 'Foreign Legion' is all composed of foreigners other than Chinese. You Japanese samurai will be the backbone of them... I want to ask you, if you give you enough money, how many loyal Japanese samurai can you hire me?"

"Nani?" The Japanese and Chinese were stunned. Foreign Legion? This term is too strange and novel. Just from this name, everyone has already felt the ambition in Xiao Letian's heart.

Shi Dakai, Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Hexin looked at each other, unable to hide their shock at all. In China, since ancient times, it was a crime of rebellion. Didn’t An Lushan’s rebellion rely on his foreign legions to rebel during the rebellion of Emperor Minghuang of Tang? At that time, countless warriors from the northern nomadic peoples armed by him rushed into Tongguan and headed straight to Chang'an, directly destroying the glory of the Tang Dynasty civilization.

What is Xiao Letian doing now? What do you want to do with the Qing Dynasty when forming a foreign legion? This... This is so greedy, it's so fucking satisfying.

At this time, the flames in Noheita's eyes were sprayed. He wanted to cut his heart out so that the fire in his chest could be poured out. "Lord, please accept my loyalty! As long as the lord can provide sufficient military pay, I can bring you 20,000 ronin troops within one year..."

"No, no, no, what I want is quality rather than quantity, what I want is a battle-efficient man, and he must be absolutely loyal to me. I will give you sufficient food and salary, the best equipment, and give you Western-style military training. I will also give you fair promotion opportunities, and may even reward you with land on the opposite continent..."

"I can't give you too many staffing now. I can only give you two companies first, that is, 180 people. Soldiers are more expensive than elites. Norita! Whether foreign legions can grow depends on their future contributions..."

Noheita bowed his head and yelled loudly, "Hai... I will definitely fulfill my mission! But I beg the Lord to fulfill my promise on the battlefield first..."

Ah! Commitment? When did I make a promise on the battlefield? Xiao Letian was fainted by No Hirata. At this time, Xiao Bingtaro, who was kneeling on the side, raised his head and said, "My father, you have promised that when No Hirata brings an army, you will give him the surname..."

Dizzy, Xiao Letian looked at the face of a dark look. Why did he forget this? But looking at Ye Heita's vicissitudes of appearance, it would be really different if he recognized his son. If he recognized his brother, Xiao Hexin would not be so angry.

Xiao Letian was immediately embarrassed. Giving a surname is very unreliable to modern people. No one would believe that it would be filial to recognize a godson. However, in ancient times, the matter of giving a surname is very reliable, and this kind of relationship is second only to blood relatives.

For example, Xiao Bingtaro has a certain right to inherit property because he has a surname given by Xiao Letian in his name. This is a typical crow turned into a phoenix. A deceased turned into a nobleman. This opportunity has long inspired these pirates to be red in their eyes.

A needle fell silently in the hall, and even Xiao Hexin and the others stared at him with a strange expression. Xiao Letian knew that if this matter was not handled well today, it would be very likely that the various factions under his command would have cracks.

It is definitely not enough to recognize a son. Xiao Letian really doesn’t have that thick-skinned face, and it is even more impossible to recognize a brother. Sima Yun, Luo Huo and others are staring at him. If they really favor one and the other, they will definitely have complaints in their hearts.

What to do! What to do? While thinking, a team of maids suddenly came to the yard to change vegetables and drinks to the house. The commander was Xiao Bingtaro's sister Chiashi.

"Ah, there is..." Xiao Letian slapped his thigh and smiled, "Chixia, come here, and you, No Hirata... Today I will be a matchmaker in front of everyone and find a husband for Qianxia. No Hirata, are you willing to marry Qianxia?"

When people heard this, they suddenly realized that it was like this. No Heitaki inherited the word "Zi" from Qianxia, ​​which was considered a disguised gift of the surname. This kind of reward of marriage-in-law would not make the Chinese officers taste good. As expected, everyone was very happy.

Qianxia and No Heita were stunned at that time, but when they looked at each other secretly, their faces turned red. When Xiao Letian saw that there was a door, he quickly hit the iron while it was hot. "Well, I think it's tomorrow. Please ask Jin Changsen and Lin Yuanmiao to be the main marriage partners. I will pay private money to hold the wedding for you. You can use this word "Xiao naturally..."

Alas, I'm so tired. The mentality of the ancients is really hard for modern people to understand. Noheita became excited without any controversy, and the pirates were all envious and wanted to go crazy. Several of them picked up bottles of wine and poured them into their mouths.

"From tomorrow, you can use the name Xiao Ye Heita. I'll ask you for the first establishment of the foreign legion..."

"Hai... dare not obey!" The pirates behind Noheita and the pirates solemnly salute. From this moment on, they finally got rid of the identity of the samurai and were officially promoted to a high-level samurai with the Lord. Well, of course, they just think so. In Xiao Letian's eyes, they are their new army like everyone else.

A night of carnival, coupled with the next day's grand but not luxurious wedding, is a two-day holiday for Xiao Letian to his subordinates. In the following time, Xiao Letian's team and the administrative system of the Ryukyu Kingdom began to work hard, and the reconstruction work of Naba was officially launched.

"Cleaning the hills on the left and right sides of the docks and cleaning out the open spaces and roads. I want to import the most advanced shore defense cannons from the United States..."

"The whole city began to clear the fire, and the ruins were flattened for me. The whole city needs to be re-planned... However, the ruins of the long street assault battle in the wharf must be left behind. Where will a garden be built in the future so that future generations will always remember this battle of Ryukyu..."

"In the new city planning, ten empty spaces must be reserved. I want to build eight Chinese schools and two military academies, and one in the Navy and Army..."

"I sent a notice to all the foreign merchant ships on the dock, saying that I would hire experienced captains, first mates, sailors, and deck officers with high salaries... Anyway, all important positions on the seaside must be invited to make them teachers. I will train a group of sailors who can fly far in the fastest time..."

"Don't talk to me about money. As long as he has the ability, I will give him a tenfold salary in Europe and tell them that no sailing college in the world will pay so much..."

"Go to the American merchant ship on the notice dock. If anyone has plans to return home, let him come to me to receive the purchase order and let those American merchants cheer. This time I will give them the most lucrative purchase contract to give them a sumptuous Christmas..."

One order after another was issued, and one sum of cash was spent. In the end, the treasury of the Ryukyu Kingdom was completely killed. It doesn’t matter if the Ryukyu Kingdom has no money. Lotte Foreign Company can lend him it. As much as you want, isn’t it just to issue national debts? Lotte Foreign Company has all included it.

Hundreds of thousands, 500,000, 1 million... After Xiao Letian spent 1.5 million in ten days, the Ryukyu royal family, the Japanese and foreigners were all crazy. They never thought that Xiao Letian would be so rich. At first, these foreigners recognized the IOU issued by Xiao Letian. Xiao Letian asked them to go to Tanggu to withdraw cash, but when the amount was too large, these foreigners were also guilty.

Now only American businessmen and French businessmen are still accepting Xiao Letian's IOU, because they have long known the background of Lotte's foreign company. Captain Corsica saw Xiao Letian unified the Tanggu business district with his own eyes. He will never forget the pile of silver mountains on the dock in his life, let alone Americans. They have known all kinds of bizarre rumors about Xiao Letian for a long time.

People's doubts about Xiao Letian only lasted ten days. When the earliest flying scissor ship that sent a letter to Tanggu returned to Naha again, Lotte Foreign Service not only brought 200 new forces brought by Wang Huaiyuan, but also brought 500,000 Mexican Eagle Ocean.

When the people on the dock saw silver boxes like a hill, all their doubts were swept away, and Lotte Foreign Company's commercial reputation was unbreakable.

Let’s do it, work with Xiao Letian. This is a real hero, this is a mysterious character, a miracle is a regular visitor in his family, and the goddess of luck is the person next to him.

Perhaps some people were also worried about King Shangtai secretly. Seeing the IOUs in the Ryukyu Kingdom getting higher and higher like a mountain, and the numbers of national debts rolled upward, many old ministers even doubted whether their country could pay off the interest. However, King Shangtai looked at the Port of Naba, which changed day by day, and listened to the long-term vision picture Xiao Letian painted for him, the young king had long been unable to hear any "faithful advice".

The modern army, the indestructible shore defense turret, and a fleet of oceans that can protect themselves. All of this attracted young kings like a dream, not to mention the construction of large factories, repair bureaus, military factories on the Ryukyu island... All kinds of products from the industrial era, like the freshest toys, made King Shangtai look forward to it.

Ryuma Sakamoto has been quietly recuperating for more than half a month. Naha's changes and Xiao Letian's military orders frightened him. He knew that the Ryukyu, which belongs to Japan, was gradually drifting away. If Xiao Letian and the Americans reach a written agreement, if the Americans recognize Xiao Letian as the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, then Japan will no longer have the chance to get involved in Ryukyu.

Just when the version of Ryuma was worried, his subordinates suddenly brought him a shocking news, and the little ghost of Mizuki actually escaped from prison.

"Nani? How could it be possible to escape? This vicious woman is too dangerous. You must not let her return to Japan..."
