Rodelney and his mercenaries were of course very willing to be "invested" by the crown prince of the Song Empire for a long time. Because they knew that this crown prince was a big financial backer and very rich!

If you were with this rich rich man, maybe when will the halo of wealth be affected by these losers?

Anyway, the rich, let’s be friends.

It's the voice of these guys.

Of course, being friends is just talking, that is impossible.

After all, there is no way for them to cross the past with the differences and gaps in identity.

But it is still OK to be ‘packed*’.

And the crown prince promised that there would definitely be war in the future, which means that according to the contract agreement, you should get money once a war, unlike in Europe that you would have to pay monthly payments.

This clause is very wonderful for the mercenaries.

Besides, when there is no battle, they can still receive five Longyang salaries in a month. Such a salary is also very good in Europe, it is a lot of silver.

Therefore, when the news spread, it even attracted many Japanese ronin samurai near Nagasaki to join in.

Although Zhao Hongyu and the others are strictly considered invaders, it is not a big deal for these ronin warriors.

Ronins are lawless, they have no national beliefs and national concepts.

As long as you have money, they can work hard for you.

This completely goes against the spirit of Bushido.

However, Rodelney would not care about this because he was the leader of a mercenary and believed in getting money from war.

This is a very appeal to the ronin.

What's more, as mercenaries of the Song Empire, they received a lot of silver.

You know, in Japan, it’s cheap and precious.

If there is no battle, the salary of five dragons per month is only five taels of silver, which is much higher than the salary of less than one tael of silver for soldiers in Japan.

At least, he is also the salary of a foot leader who is in charge of fifty people.

So, how could the ronin in Kyushu not be moved?

In this way, in addition to the two thousand European mercenaries under Rodelney, he also formed a legion mainly composed of Japanese ronin warriors, with a scale of as many as 2,000.

If it is normal to support so many mercenaries, it will cost a lot of money.

Basically, there will be no daimyo in Japan that would do this.

Even if it is placed on the Ming Dynasty, it will not do this.

But for Zhao Hongyu, there was no problem, and there was not even a little pressure.

The 4,000 mercenaries are only 20,000 taels of silver a month now.

The price of industrial silver in the virtual world plummeted, and now it is 40 cents per gram.

If it is converted into one or two silver taels, it will only cost thirteen yuan, and at most it will only cost fifteen yuan.

Of course, the Oriental weights and measures at this time are sixteen digits, which means one or two equals sixteen qian.

In other words, one or two is about forty-eight grams.

If you save trouble, it would be fine as fifty grams.

Then fifty times four cents, it is only twenty yuan.

According to this algorithm, the salary a mercenary receives when there is no war is only one hundred yuan.

This is one hundred yuan!

If you put it in the virtual world or the world where Zhao Hongyu was originally in, even temporary workers and interns would not get so few.

So, when Rodelney proposed to Zhao Hongyu, he agreed to Rodelney's suggestion without even thinking about it.

400,000 virtual world coins per month, feeding 4,000 cannon fodders who are ready to die. No matter how you look at this, it is cheaper for yourself.

Now I'm waiting for Li Xiang to see if he appears. If he doesn't appear for three days, Zhao Hongyu will leave Jiuzhou and go to the Ming Dynasty.

Then bring these mercenaries and take the time to see the "My Qing Dynasty". These people are definitely the best cannon fodder, aren't they?

Just think of it as my virtual world 400,000 yuan a month, and hired a group of actors to perform with their lives so that I can watch real-life pk movies.

Human life is really worthless.

This is what Zhao Hongyu feels most emotional.

However, he did not have any burden on hiring Europeans and Japanese.

Although they are being supported now, once there is a war, they will be the first to rush forward.

As for whether their combat effectiveness is guaranteed, Zhao Hongyu has no worries about this.

Because Zhao Hongyu and Rodelney made it clear that when they fight, they will pay high salaries for every battle, and at the same time, they will take out part of the spoils they will defeat when they defeat the enemy.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the mercenaries not fighting to the death.

After all, that's a matter of their own trophy and purse.

So, these mercenaries are definitely very happy to fight, and will also burst into great enthusiasm for fighting.

Kyushu was first decided, and Nagasaki made a very smooth transition here.

Yuji Kawaben, Kayo Tokugawa, Hattori Kyozo and Ikeguchi Satomi, all of them have begun to implement their development plans in their newly divided territory, while stabilizing the people's hearts.

Relying on a large amount of materials, tax exemption policies, and various welfare measures, Kyushu quickly stabilized.

With its strong combat power and fierce reputation for massacre, the four countries and other daimyos who were close to Kyushu did not dare to act rashly.

At the same time, the turmoil that broke out in the shogunate due to the position of the general was becoming more and more intense.

Therefore, even if General Ishida and the Emperor were released, they had no experience in taking revenge on Zhao Hongyu and the others.

Today, Japan has been divided into three major groups and attacking each other.

Among them, the original general was the sect, the general's younger brother was the sect, and the other was the general's original favored concubine. The three parties had already fought.

Such chaos cannot be calmed down in a short period of time.

If you want to decide the outcome, it will not work in just a few years.

Maybe it's okay, because of Zhao Hongyu's relationship, Japan may even fall back into an environment like the Warring States Period.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhao Hongyu and the others.

Anyway, Zhao Hongyu has already bought Kyushu and achieved his goal, so he no longer wants to waste time conquering Japan. Of course, this is a matter for the future, at least he will not consider it now.

And the turmoil in Japan is also good for them. After all, it can give them a few years to develop themselves steadily in Kyushu, right?

With Zhao Hongyu's support, it only takes two years for Kyushu to undergo great changes. Even if the Japanese regime stabilizes again, they will not pose any threat to Kyushu.

Everything is very beneficial to Zhao Hongyu.

What Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to wait for three days in Nagasaki, Kyushu, to see if he can receive a response from his kindness he has released to Li Xiang.

If Li Xiang didn't react after three days, then he wouldn't be waiting for it.

Zhao Hongyu won't do anything about using a hot face to put on a cold butt.

It’s not that he has to need Li Xiang.

Zhao Hongyu, who has a cheating device against the will, is quite confident.

If it weren't for saving some trouble and giving himself more time, Zhao Hongyu wouldn't have pinched Li Xiang with his eyelids at all.

Now, it depends on whether Li Xiang can seize this opportunity.

If you can't grasp it, then the Sea Dragon King in this time and space will probably be like him in another time and space, and will eventually become Zheng Zhilong's stepping stone, and will be destroyed in the long river of history—

Dividing line—

There are five connected islands southwest of Nagasaki Port. The place where the Nagasaki Navy was originally named Wushi. Now the defenders of Wushi have surrendered and have completely surrendered to Zhao Hongyu.

Even half of their defenders were transferred.

Half of the new imperial soldiers and generals managed the Five Islands.

As a gateway to the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, the Five Islands are very special.

Under the control of Kyushu, except for Goshima, only Amami Island and Naha are the most important ones.

Unfortunately, because the Japanese navy's power was not very strong, Amamijima was now controlled by Li Xiang, while Naha, who originally belonged to Li Xiang, was seized and controlled by Zheng Zhilong.

Because Goshima is close to Nagasaki and belongs to Kyushu, Li Xiang did not dare to take action, which ensured that Goshima is still in the hands of the Japanese.

In the winter, the sky is blue, and skua circling in the sky to find targets in the sea.

Standing on the lookout on the coast of Wudao, two Japanese defenders and a genetic soldier discovered that three Ming-style warships appeared on the sea.

"This is a Ming-style warship. We need to report it to the garrison general immediately. I don't know if it is a naval warship from the Ming Dynasty. We must not delay it."

After discovering these three ships, two Japanese soldiers who served as auxiliary personnel quickly suggested to the genetic soldiers.

From the faces of the two Japanese soldiers, this genetic soldier saw nervousness and panic, which shows that the Japanese were still afraid of the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the genetic soldiers did not leave immediately, and also stopped the departure of the two Japanese soldiers.

"Let me see first, how could there be a Ming Dynasty sea boat coming here at this time? What's more, these three ships were obviously coming from the south. If they were a Ming Dynasty navy, they would have to come from the west."

After saying that, the genetic soldier took out a monocular telescope and watched with the two Japanese soldiers looking envious.
