    "Six hundred thousand taels" Lu Ce walked a few steps beside the sand table, smiled and said, Can't you offer a higher price?"

    Dong Xuepu shook his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty valued courtiers more than foreign officials. He looks quite powerful as the governor of three provinces, but in fact he only has a little influence. He can only grant us 600,000 taels, which is already a hard work on his old capital.  Fighting."

    Dong Xuepu looked at the huge sand table, pointed to the northwest and said, "This is also an extraordinary moment. The border troops in several towns of the Ming Dynasty have been defeated, the refugee army is running around everywhere and cannot be stopped, and Chongzhen has no cards to play. That's it.  At this time, Xiong Wencan is confident that he can get us money. In the past, the conditions for recruiting rebels in the Ming Dynasty were very harsh!"

    Lu Ce smiled and said, "I don't think so. I have read the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in Qin Mingtao's notebook several times. Didn't it say that Zhang Xianzhong was favored in Gucheng, and Xiong Wencan invited him "One Hundred Thousand Six  A month's salary, no matter how you calculate it, it's more than 600,000."

    Dong Xuepu waved his hand and lowered his voice and said, "That happened in the twelfth year of Chongzhen. Now it is only the fifth year of Chongzhen. The situation" Dong Xuepu originally wanted to say that the situation was different, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

    He suddenly felt that with Qin Tao in the north and Sha Dingzhou in the south, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was worse than in the 12th year of Chongzhen in history.

    The life of the little emperor, whether he has traveled through time or not, is not easy.

    Dong Xuepu shook his head, looked at the terrain of Guangdong and Guangxi on the sand table, and said, "No matter what, Shadingzhou is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't send troops, the war will burn to Guangdong. If Xiong Wencan loses his official position, the market of Guangdong and Guangxi will also be destroyed.  We killed Sha Dingzhou's father, and this barbarian probably hates us, so letting him become more powerful will be harmful to us."

    Dong Xuepu added, "Don't just focus on cutting the flesh of the Ming Dynasty. You should also look at the production lines that Shi Ban shut down. The money lost every month is worth tens of thousands"

    The economic structure of Haiguo is now a bit dualized. It is the private economy. Although there are some handicrafts such as ironware workshops and soap workshops, it is still dominated by agriculture and breeding, and is less affected by market fluctuations in Guangdong and Guangxi.  After Guangdong and Guangxi entered a state of war, people in Guangdong were busy hoarding food to prepare for shortages, and the demand for food purchases increased.  Food prices have risen a bit recently, and the people of Nanhai Country are living a bad life.

    on the other hand.  It is a state-owned enterprise monopolized by the Shiban Banner.  These companies mainly produce glass products.  Ironware and other products are produced in a factory-like and mechanized manner.  Fixed costs are high.  Large output.  Highly dependent on external markets.  To put it bluntly.  Guangdong and Guangxi sneezed.  Spain is about to catch a cold.  Basic wages are still required even if the production line is stopped.  The losses are huge.

    Seeing Dong Xuepu's anxious look, Lu Ce nodded.  Think about it.  He asked the chief of staff next to him.  "What are the results of the analysis?"

    The chief of staff replied.

    "Comed out. Now in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, the local chieftains and even some local Jin gentry forces listened to Sha Dingzhou's orders. They are known as an army of 200,000. According to frontline intelligence, Sha Dingzhou specifically invested four troops in the siege of Deqing Prefecture.  Thousands of troops. Dedicate troops to Yulin Prefecture to attack the battlefield. Sixty thousand."

    "Although these native soldiers have backward weapons, the chieftains have been attacking each other for many years. The native soldiers have a good military tradition and are very effective in hand-to-hand combat. According to the current intelligence and the combined combat effectiveness of the vanguard camp, we defeated the main force of Shadingzhou head-on.  Six thousand to eight thousand people are needed. But the battle location is extremely complex in Guangxi. It takes more than ten thousand people to ensure battlefield advantage."

    Dong Xuepu¡¯s heart sank after hearing this.  His face suddenly looked ugly.  He looked at the staff officer.  He looked at Lu Ce again.  Dong Xuepu said sarcastically, "We don't have enough troops This is not easy to handle"

    Lu Ce took the analysis report from the chief of staff, flipped it through Dong Xuepu and said, "I know I want the 600,000. I will go to Changhua today to transfer Pang Ning's fleet."

    Dong Xuepu stared blankly and said, "Pang Ning is not in Changhua. He returned to Beigang, Dongbo yesterdayBesides, have you decided now? Is this force enough?"

    Lu Ce glanced at Dong Xuepu and smiled.  The young general of the Nanhai Kingdom did not answer this sentence. He just looked at the sand table in silence. After a long time, he raised his head and said to the officers around him,

    "Send my order and the whole battalion will enter combat mode and prepare for cross-sea operations and expedition to Guangxi."

    ¡­¡­

    In the fifth year of Chongzhen, July 28th of the third year of Nanhai, Beigang, Dongfan Island.

    ??Continuously receiving the transfer of the shipbuilding industry in Chishan Port, the shipyard in Beigang now has more than 2,000 craftsmen, which is quite large.  Thousands of acres of land were opened outside the shipyard, and various crops needed for shipbuilding were planted.  Phoebe shipped from Colao Port, canvas shipped from Qiongzhou Prefecture, and various materials were strewn throughout the noisy shipyard.

    A large number of various workshops have been built in the shipyard. To the east is the "Profile Workshop", that is,Suddenly, such a treasure came from Manila.  After thinking for a while, he then said, "You have also designed dozens of Colao Clipper boats. Take the time to learn all the traditional Chinese shipbuilding techniques. From now on"

    Pang Ning was talking when he suddenly saw a personal guard climbing up from below the deck. He seemed to have something to do with him. He couldn't help but stop talking.  The guard rushed over and handed over a letter sealed with fire paint.

    "Your Highness, this is a letter from Changhua."

    Pang Ning looked at the envelope and was stunned when he saw it was from Shi Ban.  After thinking about it for a while, he guessed a little bit and smiled helplessly.  Zhao Ru came up curiously and said in bewilderment, "Master always comes to see Prince Taiping. This time Prince Taiping wrote to Master."

    Pang Ning shook his head and spat, "There is work to do!"

    He pulled out Zhao Ru's sword, cut the wax paint, and took out the letter paper inside.  Opening the letter, Pang Ning frowned when he saw that Shi Ban's quill writing was still ugly and crooked like an earthworm.

    Seeing the expression on Master¡¯s face, Zhao Ru was full of curiosity, so he came over and started reading gently.

    "Lu Ce came to Changhua to communicate with me on the 24th. The two of us and Dong Xuepu have reached a consensus and decided to go north to assist Xiong Wencan in suppressing the rebellion. In early August, Lu Ce's vanguard camp crossed the sea to expedition to Shadingzhou in the north. This northern expedition is close to Hainan Island, and the outcome will be determined.  It has a great impact and is extremely important to the Nanhai Kingdom. Please send your navy and Pohai Battalion to fully support and assist in the Northern Expedition. If there are insufficient muskets and artillery, please come to Changhua to supplement. Shi Ban."

    Zhao Ru grinned and said in surprise, "The King of the East has just finished fighting in Gyeonggi Province, and the King of the West is going to fight against Guangdong and Guangxi again?"

    Pang Ning chuckled, folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope. He spat coldly, "The people of Nanhai Country have really stood up These warmongers! The Eight-Nation Allied Forces protecting colonial interests" and patted the envelope.  , Pang Ning said helplessly, "King Taiping has given an order, all naval officers, prepare to go to war!"

    The guard didn¡¯t know the details. Hearing this, he saluted and shouted loudly, ¡°You have the order!¡±

    Pang Ning glanced at him, stuffed the envelope into his pocket, waved his hand and walked off the boat.

    "Zhao Ru, if you manage Beigang, I will go to war!"
