The name of the battalion is a small station, and the ship number is dawning.

It's all the same meaning, it's a long road, and this is the first step.

The emperor thought so.

Liu Yu thinks so, and he doesn't think so.

Thinking about the aura on his body, the Qingzhou Army, the training of soldiers in the small station, the name of the ship is Aurora, and he is a little worried that he will not be able to control it.

After Bering and the others retreated, the emperor summoned Liu Yu alone and finally asked how to break the situation.

It's okay to train the army, and it's okay to immigrate, but how to break the situation in Japan?

The Wa State did not come to pay tribute for a long time, so he sent an official ship to go once, although he was polite, but politely said that he would not send another official ship in the future.

Dashun is short of copper, especially with the development of the commodity economy, copper coins as currency are really in short supply. Liu Yu also proposed that North Korea should use Chinese money, which would have to get copper in Japan.

However, Japan's trade policy makes it difficult to enter the port for trade.

In the future, he said that he would open the door to Japan, order it to pay tribute, and force trade; Now it is still far from this step, and the emperor does not want to invest too much money in raising the navy with the navy...... The main thing is that I can't afford to vote.

Li Gansui really wanted to ask, how to make money before the navy was formed?

"Back to Your Majesty, a few months ago, the minister had found a merchant who had been to Japan for trade. A few questions were asked. ”

Hearing this, Li Gan nodded, secretly approving in his heart.

Liu Yu is a person who really serves the country. Before the matter was completed, he first thought about what to do if he used it in the future. If everyone in the DPRK and China is like this, this society will definitely be stable for 10,000 years, but it is a pity...... It turned out to be a white crane in a flock of chickens.

"Qing can never forget the night, which shows loyalty. Just do it, rest assured. But what did this businessman who had been to Japan say? ”

That's what I'm waiting for.

Liu Yu immediately said that Japan was collecting war horses, military books, and classics of the national dynasty, and Li Gan was furious when he heard this: "It's really a wolf's ambition!" Do you want to repeat the events of Renchen Nian? What Qing said that day, he really looked at it from a distance, and in the future, when Dzungaria is peaceful, disaster will come from the sea. or Westerners, or Wa countries. If his heart does not change, he should really be as Qing said, organize the navy as soon as possible, and annihilate it once and so. ”

"Can any merchant bring these forbidden things?"

Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the sea is thousands of miles away, how can you check the ban?" In the previous retreat, did Wang Zhi and others not go to sea? With the Japanese kingdom with a strip of water, the temptation is in front, even if Your Majesty is in retreat, he can't control it. Besides, our dynasty is short of copper, so we should buy copper from the Japanese country. ”

Speaking of copper, Li Gan also sighed.

Indeed, the sea is thousands of miles away, and the forbidden sea cannot be stopped at all. Besides, even if trade with Japan is banned, will the South Seas and the West also be banned?

But if you want to ban it, you must ban it completely, otherwise it is meaningless.

And even if it is a total ban, it has long been proven that it is useless. Moreover, Taizong has a testament, and he must not lock up the country, because of the matter of female officials and eunuchs, they have to go to the temple to cry and complain, and this kind of testament cannot be moved at all.

Li Gan thought that Liu Yu had some forbidden method, but he didn't want Liu Yu to say: "Your Majesty, since you can't help it, the minister thinks it...... Why not do it officially? ”

Without waiting for Li Gan to be shocked, Liu Yu said again: "Dare to fight, please plan to die!" If the Japanese have ambitions, they should use their death to make them misjudge. In this way, it not only messes up the Japanese people, but also obtains silver and copper trade. At this time, the minister never dared to make his own self-determination, let alone play in the court, so he privately invited His Majesty to decide. ”

"Dead?"

After pondering the word for a while, Li Gan vaguely understood the meaning and asked, "How to do it in death?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty. This matter still requires His Majesty's firmness. ”

"What?"

"Riding archery and martial arts are useless. Flintlock bayonet array, square is the right way. ”

Li Gan frowned slightly, and said, "I have long been firm in this matter, so why should Qing say anything more?" ”

Then he thought of the word "dead", and suddenly said: "Qing is saying...... In the dead room, let the Japanese people think that riding and archery and martial arts are the right way? This...... Don't the Japanese know? ”

He was convinced that flintlock pistols and bayonets were the right way to the army in the future. According to what Liu Yu said, it does make sense, the bayonet is equipped with a flintlock pistol, and the flower team becomes a pure team, which has been clearly explained in the strategy of the day "the army of control".

Since it is the right path, it is like the earth is round, and the hook three strands and four strings must be five. Today you know, tomorrow I know, you will always know, and in the end it will be right.

Although it is said that it can be used in death, but the Japanese are not stupid, can they really be fooled?

"Back to Your Majesty. The Japanese people are still feudal today, with generals on top, daimyo below, and samurai under the daimyō. If you want to carry out the army of guns, you must first break the feudal division. This is also difficult. ”

"The Japanese samurai are martial arts. Use knives and bows a lot. The martial virtues of this dynasty are based on geometric warfare and arithmetic; The martial arts of the Wa Kingdom are based on the bow and knife method and riding skills. Therefore, please choose the best martial arts from the children's army, especially the method of mounted archery. The Japanese people are now 'eagle hunting', and they like to ride and shoot the most, in order to raise martial virtues, and to be a person between the dead, one must be loyal, and there must be the ability of Hou Yi Fengmeng. ”

"Hmmm......"

The children's army has its own henchmen of the emperor, who are both highly skilled in martial arts and loyal. The martial arts are high, so naturally they disdain to use muskets, not to mention that they are better than Hou Yi Fengmeng, but there is a skill in archery.

In the previous dynasties, Yiding was mostly used, and the Mongolian method of riding and archery was still inherited, which is indeed not a problem.

Thinking about Liu Yu's words, it is indeed reasonable.

Forbidden, since you can't help it, then why not do it yourself?

Do it yourself, use it to the death, and you can still control it. That's one way to do it.

Because Li Gan's mind is still very sober, he can't help it, he really can't help it. If you think that you can ban it, it is tantamount to covering your ears and stealing the bell, and you can't afford huge economic losses.

Merchants are highly profitable, which can be known since ancient times. Japan's special trade policy makes it inevitable that merchants will not hesitate to break the law in order to make a profit.

When his heart was moved, he said, "The dead can be used, but not all the dead." ”

Liu Yu said in his heart, what kind of death, it's just to find a lofty reason to facilitate smuggling. I don't look for a samurai who can ride and shoot, how can I get a trade license from Japan? It's just that I don't dare to do this myself, so I have to report it to you. If it is not necessary to say that it is not necessary to die, that is, to find out the intelligence of Japan, is it really expected to rely on his words to fool the Japanese as fools?

"Your Majesty. The minister trained the troops this time, and when the soldiers were completed, they could return when they died. And the ministers wanted to use the dead room, but they just took the opportunity to meet with the Japanese people, one was tempted, and the other was to ask them to trade. If it can be successful, it will be able to obtain hundreds of thousands of catties of copper every year, and it will be able to make profits to build a navy. ”

"The minister thought that if the navy was prosperous, even if the Japanese people understood that it was a dead time, they would reform the system and change the feudal county to the county...... This has been done, and what is the use of changing the military system? A horizontal ship locks its sea frontier; If they build ships, they will shell them and raid them. Could it be that the Japanese could still move the shipyard to the mountains? ”

And that's where it comes to the point.

Li Gan laughed and said, "Yes! If the navy is prosperous, even if the Japanese are really out of business; Even if I rebelled against the past Shen Gong Wuchen and taught them the method of land warfare, what is the use? Qing was extremely thoughtful. I agreed, and I will do it in the future, and if there is a new law, I just need to play it. ”

"I am in the forbidden palace, and I can't know the affairs of the country. The so-called, the general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, you Liu Shouchang, I can still trust it. ”

After laughing, his face sank again and said: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, five years, don't forget." I'm going to get results. ”

"The minister will not dare to forget."

"I ask you, do you have any ideas about the flintlock gun?"

"There it is."

"Okay."

He didn't ask Liu Yu's thoughts, but chose to "use people without suspicion, don't use suspicious people". Anyway, I gave the money, I don't want half a set of armor, half a fire gun, and half a helmet from the court, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

Otherwise, no one will have any ideas, and in the end they will choose others, and Li Gan understands what it means to drift. Liu Yu, at least at this time, is still credible.

Before letting Liu Yu leave, Li Gan gave Liu Yu half a token.

…………

When I got home, I cleaned up a little, and I was ready to check the exam papers and select those who were qualified.

On the way back in the evening, he went to Yang Erguan Hutong again and routinely asked Hannibal about the content of the French military discipline.

After going out for a while, a person suddenly came out of the corner, with a hat, his face couldn't be seen clearly, and he was holding a Miao knife in his hand.

Liu Yu subconsciously dodged back, and his hand touched the reed wheel gun that had already been wound with gunpowder on his waist, but the man put the knife on the ground, raised his hands and asked, "But Liu Yu and Lord Liu?" ”

asked kindly, but Liu Yu confiscated the gun in his hand, held it up and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"A certain person has a good martial arts, and he is good at riding and shooting. I wanted to take the Wude Palace, but the Wude Palace of the National Dynasty was not a martial artist of the previous dynasty, but it had to take the geometry and arithmetic and other academic ......"

Liu Yu chuckled in his heart for a moment, and when he heard the word riding and shooting, he had already guessed the identity of the other party, shook his head and said, "That's not right." You obviously want to consider Wude Palace, you have the ability to bow and horse, and you will definitely be able to come out on top. However, someone insulted your master, was killed by you, and fled. The Wude Palace of this dynasty, heavy martial arts, light writing, geometric arithmetic, but for the selection of quartermasters. Am I right? ”

The man arched his hand and said, "My lord! The villain is killing someone and fleeing, with all his skills, but someone insulted my master, was killed by someone, and he couldn't be admitted to the Wude Palace, otherwise he would be the leader. ”

After speaking, he threw a token that was only half half in Liu Yu's hand, and after Liu Yu carefully checked it, he compared it with the half given to him by Li Gan, tightly sealed, hid the token on his body, and said, "I see." Okay, come with me. ”

After confirming the token, Liu Yu also withdrew the musket, and the man followed behind Liu Yu, not to the Yiguo Mansion, but to the small courtyard near the Wude Palace.

Although the steamed bun was curious, he didn't ask much, but went to prepare tea. When that person saw that Liu Yu didn't avoid steamed buns, he also knew that he must be a confidant.

"Can you have confidence in testing the knife technique with the Japanese people?"

"I don't dare to call myself invincible, but I am not afraid."

"Can you ride and shoot?"

"Skilled in bows."

"Why dare you have the heart of death? Disloyal? Sharp? Kindness? Hate? ”

"Yes."

"Where's the grace?"

"When Your Majesty was still the prince."

"What's your name?"

"I'll call me whatever the adults tell me."

"Very good, it turns out that your name is Shi Shiyong."

"Yes, in the history of the surname, the name is used in the world. But I don't know the words. ”

"Heisei."

"Yes. In the next history of the world, the word Heicheng. His ancestral home is Jizhou, and he studied in Liaodong, so the master's reputation is not obvious in the southeast. ”

Liu Yu smiled, crumpled what he just said and asked again, not only did the sentences match, but also had richer details.

I took off the hat and looked at it carefully, and saw that this person was mediocre, not to say that it was good-looking or ugly, it was the kind that he couldn't find when he threw it into the pile. In his thirties and with a strong physique, Liu Yu asked at the end.

"Do you have a baby?"

"Yes, and many. has a wife, no concubine, must not be accepted, but really do not want to accept. ”

"Traveling far to Fusang, don't you miss being alone?"

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people. Why do you think I'm going alone? Your Majesty's words: If you can't believe it, the quality is useless. ”
