    Chapter 472 Reason 2

    The second prince was stunned, and his face changed greatly. Now Yinghai Kingdom has just experienced a civil war, which consumed a lot of troops. At the same time, due to the war, many towns have been devastated, and the domestic economy has also been seriously damaged.  It will take a lot of time to restore the damage to the past. The current Shadow Sea Kingdom can no longer withstand another war, and this war is still a war with neighboring countries.

    Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat poured down his face, and he said anxiously: "This can't be done!"

    "Nothing is impossible!"

    I said coldly: "These are my conditions. Please go back and tell your father that after ten days, if we don't get your reply, we will evacuate this sea area. At the same time, you don't have to worry about our ammunition."  You must have seen the problem. Our supply fleet has brought us enough ammunition. Moreover, I think if we want to leave, you will not be able to stop us at all."

    "Your Majesty!"

    The second prince said anxiously.

    I waved my hand unceremoniously and said: "That's it for what I said, you think it over for yourself! Also, I will give you a stick of incense to leave with your fleet, otherwise, I will treat you as enemies.  !¡±

    If we follow the current calculation rules, we are now in the territorial waters of the Shadow Sea Kingdom, which can be considered an invasion. But the fact is that simple. In the face of powerful force, any law can be distorted and any law can be ignored.  Powerful force means everything!

    The second prince was stunned, and then his eyes couldn't help but cast his eyes at the row of soldiers holding heavy crossbows in front of him. The steel arrows shone coldly in the sun. At the same time, the gun compartments on both sides of the warship had been opened, revealing the black paint.  He only had a lacquered barrel, and the power of the artillery was enough to sink the warship he was riding in with just one salvo.

    The second prince couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and was about to argue, but as soon as he came into contact with my cold eyes, he immediately swallowed his words, and then directed the battleship to evacuate. He probably also knew that in the current situation, it was useless to say anything.  .

    After the second prince left, the third prince asked: "Are you really going to go to war with the Shadow Sea Kingdom over two cannons?"

    I shook my head, looked at the battleship that the second prince left, and said: "Two cannons? Even if I give him two cannons for them to study, what else can they do besides copying them like us? In the absence of machines,  Next, they can't make the rifling in our artillery at all, and they can't make the shells at all. In this case, even if they imitate the artillery, it is still an empty shell. An artillery without shells is just without minions.  Wolf, it just looks scary! Moreover, do you think our artillery is so easy to build? They have been studying the steel composition of the artillery barrel for a period of time. Moreover, according to my request, they finally attacked the city.  All the cannonballs should have been consumed by then! So now there is nothing in the Shadow Sea Kingdom except a lot of shells, so it will take a lot of time for them to figure out the structure of the cannonballs!  "

    After hearing what I said, the second prince couldn't help but wonder: "Then why are you still angry about this? And you also threatened to help their neighbors attack them if they don't hand over their artillery?"

    I smiled slightly, pulled him to sit on the chair on the deck, and said: "You don't know, we are far away from Dazhou now, and we don't have any ground troops to rely on. The only thing we can rely on now is us."  The power of the sea is also our most powerful weapon at present. We must use it to obtain the greatest benefits! Now the Shadow Sea Kingdom probably knows this, so they want to seize our artillery and then imitate our artillery, so as to  To restrain our maritime power, after all, they are now fighting on the mainland. The exhausted troops can be replenished immediately, and with strong rear support, their supply is not a problem, but we are different. Our supply line is very  It will take a long time, and it is very unsafe. So I will take advantage of this opportunity to strive for greater benefits. And there is a saying that goes too far. If we don't show any expression for their behavior, they will undoubtedly think that we are weak.  It¡¯s a shame, then when we negotiate in the future, I will be in a very unfavorable situation.¡±

    The third prince nodded, understood what I meant, and said: "You mean to take this as an opportunity, when they have just experienced a civil war and are in urgent need of a stable environment to pacify the country, if we threaten them like this, we will definitely make them  They panicked and agreed to our request?"

    I smiled slightly, and then said: "Actually, this is also risky. The key depends on how their monarch handles it. On the one hand, he can ignore us. When we and their neighboring countries attack them, he can use foreign enemies to invade."To divert the attention of the people in the country and consolidate their rule, there are only two results. One is our failure, and the other is their failure. No matter which one it is, the consequences are very serious, and they cannot bear the current situation.  , then in this case he can only choose the second option, which is to obediently hand over the artillery!  "

    For a country with cold weapons, the threat of artillery is obvious. I think that when China was in the Qing Dynasty, it was also opened by other people's powerful ships and cannons, and signed some treaties that were humiliating and humiliating the country. But what I am doing now is,  I just repeated what others did, and compared to others, I am much gentler now. I just rented a small island.  Moreover, the only result of armed aggression is the resistance of others. Even if you can't resist now, you will resist later. Then the interests here in the Zhou Dynasty will be completely lost. At the same time, once you fall into the mud of war,  Even Dazhou can't bear it. Then, the economic approach is different. There is cheap labor and cheap raw materials here. At the same time, our arrival can also develop their economy and promote their development in all aspects, so it is not too late for them to welcome us.  Well, let¡¯s not talk about rejection.  In that way, we will not only gain huge economic benefits, but also have a very good reputation. As for force, it is necessary, and it is only a means of threat.

    Hearing what I said, the third prince couldn't help but nodded and said: "If they hand over the artillery, what should we do next?"

    I leaned hard on my back, and then said with a smile: "That's not simple. It's just using the topic to gain more benefits for us. The main thing is that in addition to leasing the island to us as a base, the more important thing is  There is another option, which is to open the port, but I think it¡¯s too late for them to be happy if I say what we mean!¡±

    ¡°Open the port?¡±

    The third prince was stunned and said: "What do you mean by this!"

    ¡°It¡¯s very simple!¡±

    I sat up slightly and said: "It means allowing our merchant ships to stay in their ports and reducing our taxes! Of course, they generally won't agree to this, so we have to have our own conditions, one of which is  Just like I told you, provide technology and cooperate with them!"

    The third prince nodded and said, "I understand what you mean! But, do you think they will agree to us so easily?"

    I shook my head and said: "Of course not, that's why I'm talking to the second prince today. Of course, someone will fight for us if we need it. We just need to wait patiently!"
