"Your Highness, even if you plan to go to the Pacific, I think it would be better for you to bring more warships with you on this trip. After all, the sea area connecting Japan to the Ming Dynasty has a lot of pirates."
Faced with Wang Shan¡¯s persuasion, Zhao Hongyu finally accepted it.
After all, Wang Shan¡¯s starting point was for his own good, not to harm him.
As Wang Shan said, even if you take the Pacific route by yourself, it is not that safe.
Japan is now the territory of Li Xiang of Haidao, while Zheng Zhilong is entrenched in Haojing and joins forces with Portugal and Spain. The two sides are fighting each other for hegemony on the southeast coast.
Therefore, if Zhao Hongyu goes to Japan, he might also run into trouble.
¡°After all, to the Ming pirates, Zhao Hongyu and the others are simply fat sheep that come to their doorstep. There is no difference.
Of course, if Zhao Hongyu fought a few naval battles with them, those people would not think so.
But the problem is that as long as there is a war, there will be danger, that¡¯s for sure.
¡°What if Zhao Hongyu points his finger at me and gets killed with one shot
No one can guarantee that something like this will never happen.
Therefore, it is best to bring more warships, so that the pirates will not dare to act rashly. Furthermore, it will save you some trouble, right?
After figuring this out, Zhao Hongyu was no longer stubborn.
Bringing more people with him will also help his activities in Daming.
"Wang Shan, if I arrive in the Ming Dynasty, what name will I use to contact the people of the Ming Dynasty? Maybe they will treat us as a big vassal country like Vietnam and Siam. It will be bad."
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand to touch his chin and expressed his worries to Wang Shan.
Hearing this, Wang Shan shook his head and said: "No, Your Highness, as long as you insist that you are a descendant of the Song Dynasty. We are more upright and Miaohong than the Ming Dynasty. How can we be like Siam and Korea?" Just like other countries, we have equal exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, and we are definitely not a vassal state."
Wang Shan¡¯s words are unequivocal.
"That's why I asked His Highness to wait a moment and bring more battleships with me. When people see that our battleships have so many people, they won't think that we are little shrimps, right?"
It turns out that Wang Shan still has this consideration.
Zhao Hongyu nodded silently and said: "Well, I miss these sailors now, and we will wait until those battleships are launched. How many battleships do you plan to let me take?"
Zhao Hongyu is more or less curious about this question.
"Two fleets, seventy-two battleships, three of which are heavy battleships, and the remaining sixty-nine are modified Dutch frigates." Wang Shan replied.
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while, and then said to Wang Shan: "Isn't more than seventy warships a bit too much? We are not going to fight."
But after saying this, Zhao Hongyu immediately thought of the words Wang Shan said before.
Having more warships also shows that one's country is powerful, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty in the province underestimated themselves.
When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses because you underestimate yourself and regard yourself as a small country like North Korea and Siam.
Therefore, thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and patted his forehead.
"Oh, I'm such a stupid person. I forgot the reason you just told me."
After saying that, Zhao Hongyu smiled sheepishly at Wang Shan.
Wang Shan didn¡¯t care. He responded to Zhao Hongyu and said, ¡°Actually, there are other reasons for bringing more warships, but it¡¯s not just to show our strength.¡±
Zhao Hongyu became interested after hearing this.
"Oh, tell me everything else, so that I can have a better understanding."
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was so interested, Wang Shan continued.
"Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful now with internal and external troubles. The Qing Dynasty has risen and we have to guard against it." Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and said. "I'm afraid that His Highness will not have enough people with him. If he fights with the Qing soldiers on a whim, he won't be without helpers."
Wang Shan¡¯s words stunned Zhao Hongyu.
Yes, when I went to the Ming Empire in the East, I had to see the power of the Qing Dynasty, which was boasted to be invincible by future generations. Therefore, it was really dangerous to lead fewer troops.
Therefore, it is easy to understand that more battleships bring more soldiers.
"You are really thoughtful, I have nothing to say."
Zhao Hongyu did not deny Wang Shan¡¯s speculation.
Wang Shan smiled and then continued: "And if you take the Pacific route, you must pass through Japan. Your Highness, have you never thought about taking Japan?" When talking about this, Wang Shan stretched out his Hold the five fingers of your right hand!
Zhao Hongyu still understood what Wang Shan meant.
"The white people in later generations used just a few warships to allow Japan to trade. We can't let this happen again, so we can get Japan over first. After all, there is a lot of gold and silver there, right?"
Wang Shan now had a lewd smile on his face.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "You are right. We can indeed make some plans for Japan in this era. This is okay. The Japanese are not full to eat now. As long as we can conquer them with food, then I think Japan People can still bring us some benefits."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes flashed, and he didn¡¯t know what kind of bad idea he had thought of.
But no matter what kind of bad idea it is, it will not make the Japanese people feel better anyway.
"Your Highness, although the Japanese are rubbish, the low-level Japanese samurai in this era are still very valuable. Once they identify their master, they will follow him to death. I think we can definitely gather a group of Japanese samurai."
Wang Shan suggested.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t say anything. To be honest, he still had cautious reservations about being Japanese.
After all, the Japanese had just experienced the Warring States Period, which was an era where subordinates and superiors frequently appeared.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu does not dare to be careless when it comes to the user himself.
"Wang Shan, have you forgotten that the Japanese have a tradition of defeating the superior?"
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a long time and finally said to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan smiled and said: "Of course I haven't forgotten it, but so what. You don't need so many Japanese, you just need to recruit a dozen or even dozens of samurai, and use them to manage other The Japanese."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s heart moved.
In fact, he fully understood Wang Shan¡¯s plan and knew that Wang Shan asked him to conquer Japan and bring Japan under the control of the empire.
"Let's talk about it then. It's a bit early for us to talk about this now. Besides, our territory is already so big that we have indigestion. Therefore, we are greedily conquering Japan, and you are not afraid of problems. "
After Zhao Hongyu thought for a while, he said to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan was stunned when he heard this.
? Then he thought that the current situation in the empire was indeed like this. He used the mentality of an angry youth to give advice to His Highness, but he forgot that the empire had begun to suffer from indigestion.
Therefore, Wang Shan smiled bitterly: "Damn, are you going to let Japan go like this? I feel uncomfortable."
As an angry young man, when he knew that Zhao Hongyu was going to the East, he had already started to make this plan in his heart.
"We can't control Japan, but we can make Japan chaotic. It's not easy." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan with a smile after seeing the disappointment on his face.
Wang Shan was shocked when he heard what Zhao Hongyu said.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Who is the shogun in Japan now?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
Although he vaguely knew some history, it was impossible to know it in such detail.
He just knew that in 1622, Japan seemed to have just ended the Warring States Period, but now he was a little confused whether Tokugawa or Toyotomi was in power.
¡°After all, he is not a humanoid computer, so he cannot understand history in such detail.
"Your Highness, if I remember correctly, it should be Tokugawa Hidetada, but he is almost dead. I heard Professor Liu tell me that this guy will die next year."
After getting the reply, Zhao Hongyu had some concerns.
"Professor Liu has a good history, and he knows these things."
Zhao Hongyu nodded and said to Wang Shan with a smile.
"As an old man, I like to study these histories when I have nothing to do."
Wang Shan also answered with a smile.
"It has nothing to do with the Tokugawa shogunate. Although the third generation is about to come, I think there will still be people who will dissatisfy him, right?"
Zhao Hongyu laughed darkly.
Wang Shan also echoed: "Yes, as long as there are interests in this world, there must be conflicts. But moralityThe Kawa family was lucky enough to become the shogun in the end. If Your Highness can reignite the war in Japan, and add some small support, Japan will eventually return to the Warring States Period. "
Both Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu hope to see Japan continue to be in turmoil and war.
¡°After all, they don¡¯t have a good impression of Japan from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, as for those warriors who are willing to devote their loyalty and their lives, it is another matter.
"Is there anything else in this world that would be more satisfying than using the Japanese to oppress Japan?"
Especially using Japanese as their lackeys and gold medal thugs.
Thinking about such a thing makes me feel comfortable.
"Don't worry, kid, I will definitely fulfill your wish and start a war in Japan. Because a turbulent Japan is in the interest of the Ming Dynasty and us, isn't it?"
Zhao Hongyu smiled.
Wang Shan shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know if it will benefit us, but it will definitely benefit the Ming Dynasty. But if we do this, won't we help the Ming Dynasty?"
It can be seen from Wang Shan¡¯s face that he seems a little unhappy that Daming might take advantage of him.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan: "Don't be so stingy. After all, the people in the Ming Dynasty are all Chinese. In the end, we didn't let other races take advantage."
In the end, Zhao Hongyu persuaded Wang Shan.
However, Wang Shan¡¯s narrow-mindedness also showed Zhao Hongyu¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
France, Port of Marseille.
There are more than a dozen double-deck three-pole warships flying the French flag, and the decks are already full of sailors.
These sailors kept pulling the ropes in their hands to raise the big sail.
Groups of Royal Guards Musketeers stepped onto the deck from the dock and boarded the ship.
On the pier, little Louis XIII, dressed in military uniform, was talking to a Chinese man with black hair and eyes.
The young man of Chinese descent, who looked to be less than twenty-five years old, was talking and laughing with little Louis XIII, and they seemed to be having a good conversation.
"Your Highness, I wish you a smooth trip and a happy stay in America."
"Colonel Sun, thank you for your kindness."
Little Louis XIII thanked him in awkward Chinese.
This young man, whom little Louis XIII calls Colonel Sun, is the chief executive of the American Song Empire Concession under construction on the outskirts of Marseille Port.
Because of some early agreements made by Zhao Hongyu, the concessions have now been opened to France.
For Europeans of this era, the concessions in the American Song Empire represented wealth and status.
The concession in Lisbane has brought prosperity and excitement, which other countries also hope to have.
What¡¯s more, there are many products that can be specially agented in the concession, and the prices of these products are more cost-effective than importing them from the Americas.
And the goods in the concession also brought a large amount of tax revenue to the countries where they belonged.
Therefore, at the strong request of the French, the concession was opened to France.
The concession in Lisbon has created many rich people, so the French are also jealous.
This time, little Louis XIII is going to the American continent, so he must say hello to the concession first.
Therefore, after the concession received the news, they immediately began to prepare to send people back to America with little Louis.
After all, little Louis XIII also needed someone from the empire to guide him in America.
¡°Otherwise, his eyes would be completely black.
In this way, Colonel Sun took the selected genetic man and sent him to the dock to accompany little Louis XIII when he went to America.
And little Louis XIII¡¯s weird Mandarin was learned in the concession.
New Oriental Language School, this is a school opened in the American Concession in Europe.
??The main thing he teaches is Chinese Mandarin from the Americas.
The groups we are facing are also those who want to work in the Americas, as well as businessmen.
Because he was going to America, little Louis XIII also made a surprise trip to New Oriental to study.
Although he is very smart, because the learning time is too short, he can speak a few daily expressions, but his taste is really obedient.
¡°Recently, British ships entered the Mediterranean SeaSea areas appear frequently, so Your Highness should be careful about this. "
After sending little Louis XIII to the ship, Colonel Sun told little Louis XIII the information he had.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Little Louis XIII expressed his gratitude, but at the same time he was muttering in his heart.
"These damn British people, he hasn't talked about church union yet, but he has already started to take action in this regard.
"The British that Colonel Sun said appeared in the waters at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea were actually telling him behind the scenes that the British had already begun to take action.
"And what is behind such an action, little Louis XIII knows it even if he thinks about it with his buttocks.
It¡¯s nothing more than issuing privateering documents again
