What Dongping Feifu wants is simple, but not simple at all.
What he provided was a picture, which was a picture of Chalupina Buddha. According to his explanation, it is also called the Kamakura Great Buddha.
Or the Great Sun Tathagata in Tantra.
There are differences between Japanese Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism. China is now dominated by Zen Buddhism. Japan is still Tantra.
What Dongping Feifu wants is a glass Buddha statue. He even took care of the dimensions.
This Buddha statue is more than three feet tall, with a compassionate and solemn expression, but the details are too fine, which is not easy to achieve with glass products.
For Xu Qin, making glass is easy. But he didn't know if the craftsmen were confident in making such a large Buddha statue and such a delicate statue.
"No wealth can match such a magical thing, but you have also given me an unprecedented challenge, and I can accept this challenge. But it depends on fate."
Xu Qin said it very piously, and emphasized that it was very Japanese.
This made Dongping Feifu's eyes light up and he rubbed his hands impatiently.
"Master Xu, as a deposit and sincerity, I will tell you first who your enemy is." Dongping Feifu quickly finalized.
"Okay, but let me guess first. Guo Liang? Xu Jingchang? Qiu Fu?"
Xu Qin looked into Dongping's fat eyes and spat out his names one by one.
Dongping Feifu didn't react for a while.
When talking about Guo Liang, Dongping's fat eyes moved and quickly regained his composure. When talking about the other two people, he didn't have much reaction.
"It seems that it is Guo Liang, the Marquis of Ancheng. I have no enmity with him, right?" Xu Qin said to himself.
This sentence shocked Dongping Feifu. How did he know? I obviously didn’t say anything. Could he see through what I was thinking?
As soon as this idea came up, Dongping Feifu immediately stiffened. This man had sorcery. He can see what I'm thinking.
Damn it, he already knows this secret, doesn’t it mean it has no exchange value? It seems that there is only one other thing to initiate.
In fact, Xu Qin just read too many minds, and the two people were arguing in Fengtian Temple that day. When they finally failed, Dongping Feifu glanced in a certain direction.
There happened to be three people in that direction, Qiu Fu, Guo Liang and Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo. After identifying three people, I mentioned it today.
You can guess it based on Dongping Feifu's reaction.
In later generations, this was just a simple psychological technique, or a little joke in interpersonal communication.
But it was not popular in this era, and it was even very advanced knowledge, which directly broke through Dongping Feifu's inner defense.
"Master Xu, you are truly worthy of being Master Xu. I admire you greatly. You must also know about the Dai family's communication with the Japanese."
Dongping Feifu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Qin anymore, nor did he dare to show off.
Xu Qin almost picked him up, what the hell? Daijia, that Daijia? Did the Lianghuai Salt Shang Dynasty actually communicate with the Japanese?
But Xu Qin immediately calmed down.
"Is it just to communicate with the Japanese? That's all you know?" Xu Qin asked calmly.
Xu Qin felt that the Dai family was not simple. Xu Qin judged it based on what the two sisters Guan Guan and Wanwan said.
The sisters were purchased by the family when they were very young, and then they were trained day by day for more than ten years. Even more careful than training oirans in brothels.
All I learned was how to serve a man and keep him favored.
The final fate of these women is to be given to powerful officials in exchange for the necessary connections for the Dai family.
Moreover, it was not only their sisters who were bought on behalf of the family, but also sisters Su Mingquan. They are just a small group of people, there are many other women.
Keep buying and giving away non-stop.
According to Su Mingquan's age, he is at least twenty years old. these twenty years. How much will you send out on behalf of your family?
Moreover, these people have taken root and established themselves around these officials and dignitaries, not just in terms of interpersonal relationships. Xu Qin was more alert to another thing than the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Maybe other officials knew about it and didn't take it seriously, just treating it as a way for a businessman to protect himself. Just good at management.
But Xu Qin knew that this was an intelligence network. Not to mention anything else, every girl who is given away knows something secret. How many illegal affairs of officials have the Dai family mastered over the years?
What does the Dai family want to do? Conspiracy to usurp the throne or control the Ming Dynasty?
Everything is afraid of perseverance. How big of a net is the Dai family's perseverance like this?
So although Guan Guan and Wanwan are good, they are also poisonous bait. I haven’t figured out how to eat them yet.
That Su Mingquan is in and out of Wei Guogong's mansion all day long, so he must be careful.
At this time, I heard that Dongping Feifu said that the Dai family was involved in Japanese pirates. The first thing he thought of was the Lianghuai Salt Shang Dynasty.
So he cheated Dongping Feifu.
“My Lord, the head of the Dai family is Japanese himself, a descendant of the Hojo clan of the Kamakura shogunate.
After Ashikaga Takauji defeated Kamakura, he came here. At that time, it was still Meng Yuan. Through management, they control the Lianghuai Salt Industry. Is this a fat pig? "
Dongping Feifu said in a slightly flattering way.
When Xu Qin heard this, he thought, "I'm going to kill you." The entire Dai family is actually Japanese pirates. And the Yuan Dynasty came.
"We are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into conflict. If you reveal this, their whole family will be dead."
Xu Qin patted Dong Ping's fat shoulder and said, "I didn't expect this guy to be a traitor."
"I am a member of His Highness the General, and Hojo is the enemy of the General. Over the years, some people have been funding the daimyo who oppose the General. They are the ones who did it."
Dongping Feifu lowered his head and said with a trembling voice.
Xu Qinxin said that no wonder you were so kind, it turned out that you were using a borrowed knife to kill someone. I want to use my hand to help your general kill this person.
"As the saying goes, you can't get to know each other without fighting. If you give me such an expensive gift, we will be friends from now on. If you can't survive in Japan in the future, come find me."
Xu Qin patted his shoulder and said. The heart says, come to me and I will feed you to the dogs.
"I can't thank you enough, Mr. Xu. Then this statue..." Dongping Feifu kept his head lowered.
Because it is said that monsters who can see through people's hearts have to look through their eyes. As long as you don't let him see your eyes, you'll be fine.
"I'll try my best to prepare it. If it succeeds, I'll send it to you naturally. If I haven't found you before you leave, I'll wait until you come back next time to take it away, or I'll find someone to bring it to you."
Xu Qin said, this cannot be said to death, in fact, he is not sure.
"Thank you so much, sir." Dongping Feifu said solemnly.
"By the way, how did you know this news? They have hidden it for so many years. There is no reason why you found it so easily."
Xu Qin asked.
"Master Xu, it's because a traitor appeared in their family and found me here. I was going to report it to the emperor, but now I will give it to Master Xu." Dongping Fatty said flatteringly.
Xu Qin took off a glass tiger head accessory from his waist and gave it directly to Dongping Feifu.
This thing is definitely the best among the glass ornaments that can be fired now. If Xu Qin owns something from his own family, he will naturally want the best one to bring with him.
Dongping Feifu's eyes gleamed as he watched.
"Leave it to me." Xu Qin said.
Dongping Feifu fumbled with something and nodded happily.
The two people quickly reached a deal, and the man was sent to the Duke of Wei's mansion soon after.
This man's name is Dai Demin, and he is Dai Deqing's cousin. It was he who betrayed the Dai family and took the initiative to find Dongping Feifu to inform him.
Xu Qin found Mr. Xia Zifu, and the two of them conspired. Then precise arrangements were made.
The design of the Buddha statue was directly transferred to Zhuangzi, and the glass craftsmen were asked to study it to see if it could be fired.
This was the first time he received such a large order, and Xu Qin also wanted to test the skills of these craftsmen.
The next day Xu Qin went directly to Shenji Camp to report. After all, he was guarding thousands of households and had already reported to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
In the Ming Dynasty, the civil service had not yet reached the level of civil service, and military matters were under the management of the Fifth Army Governor's Office.
After the Tumu Fort, all the elite soldiers were killed and injured, and the noble military ministers suddenly lost their right to speak, which led to the Ming Dynasty being dominated by civilian politics for more than a hundred years.
At that time, military affairs were completely under the control of the Ministry of War.
The leader of the Shenji Battalion was Anyuan Bo Liu Sheng, a fierce man who followed the British Duke on his expedition to Annan. He is also good at breaking formations and killing enemies with firearms.
The Shenji Battalion is composed of 400 artillery, 3,600 infantry, and 1,200 cavalry.
These soldiers are not Xu Qin's soldiers. He is responsible for the forging and training of firearms. The specific matters are still under Yagyu's control.
He brought two personal soldiers with him, one was Wudang master Zhang Yuanxing, and the other was his younger brother Xu Hao.
I discussed with my old father that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I don’t know how long Xu Qin can be an official. It's better to let Xu Hao learn from it first.
Regardless of whether he is a commoner or not, he is still a disciple of a general, and entering the military camp is the best training.
Xu Qin didn't want to enter the camp, but the evil wind outside was too strong, and Zheng He had to come as promised.
But there are still people who don't want him to come even more.
