Of course, there is nothing to consider for Wanli, because just sending some Jinyi guards over to engage in espionage activities is very low, and it does not need to be reviewed by the imperial court, but if it can be successful, the reward is not small.

And Guo Dan was very nervous about this, and he was also very anxious, otherwise, he would not have come to Wanli immediately after getting the secret letter.

Because the Ming court would not give him any support for overseas plans, it all depended on them, but on Franc's side, there was a huge Spanish Empire behind him, and he had been operating on Luzon Island for so many years, and there were a large number of natives and Japanese who served them, Guo Dan was actually very empty in his heart, and he was not sure that he would be able to win.

But if there are tens of thousands of people to respond to him, it will really be a tiger with wings for him.

On the contrary, if he loses these tens of thousands of people, he may have to pay a greater price and spend more time to take Luzon.

In addition, he knew that the Great Yin Empire over there had begun to be restless, and this time was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Therefore, after getting Wanli's permission, he immediately took Wanli's holy decree and rushed to the guard in the horse racing area

But it can also be seen that Wanli actually controls all this, and without his permission, Guo Dan can't mobilize too many Jinyi guards.

However, as soon as Guo Dan walked on the front foot, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale came on the back foot.

Wanli also wondered very much, what is going on today, how are there more things.

"Your Majesty, the commanders of Liaozhou, Datong, Jizhou, Yifu, Guyuan, Yansui, and Ningxia have written one after another, saying that they will send people to Beijing this year."

Zhang Cheng reported to Wanli.

Wanli was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

The Ming Dynasty has nine border armies, and this includes seven important military towns, how can Wanli not be nervous, is this going to a full-scale war with the north?

Oh, my God!

Zhang Whale said: "Back to Your Majesty, judging from their letters, they should all come for armament." ”

"Army... Armaments? ”

Wanli was stunned, frowned and asked, "What?" Didn't the household department allocate military salaries? ”

The word "again" alone is enough to see that arrears of military salaries have been the norm in the Ming court, but due to Zhang Juzheng's change of law, the treasury has a little money, and there has been no arrears of military salaries over the years.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, the household department has already allocated military salaries to them, and they are mainly here for the armament of Weihui Mansion this time. ”

"The armament of the Weihui Mansion?" The more Wanli listened, the more confused he became.

Zhang Cheng said: "Here's the thing, after these two years, the Liaodong Army has all been replaced with the armaments purchased from Weihui Mansion, and the soldiers of the Liaodong Army are very satisfied with this, and also said that the armament made by Weihui Mansion is the best armament in the history of the Ming Dynasty." But this also caused dissatisfaction among the other border troops, who also wanted to purchase armaments from Weihui Mansion, and this time they sent people to Beijing in the hope of discussing with the imperial court, and in the future, their armaments would also be purchased from Weihui Mansion. ”

"And that includes the birds."

Zhang Whale added: "I don't know who leaked the news and let the Liaodong border army know that Weihui Mansion has now produced very sophisticated bird guns, so Li Chengliang sent his son Li Rumei to the capital, hoping to purchase bird guns from Weihui Mansion." ”

"Who else leaked the news, it must be that Li Rusong." Wanli immediately snorted and said, "Regarding the bird gun of Weihui Mansion, I still don't know what the situation is. ”

Zhang Whale immediately replied: "Yesterday, Director Zhao has returned to Beijing, and he also brought the new type of bird gun produced by Weihui Mansion, which has been inspected by the Ministry of War, and it is said that it is much better than the bird gun used by our army today, but there is a problem that is not easy to solve." ”

"What's the problem?" Wanli asked.

"It's just that the cost is too high."

Zhang Whale said: "According to Director Zhao, the cost of Weihui Mansion's production is twice the purchase price of the imperial court, and this does not include their profits. ”

"Double?"

Wanli was surprised: "So much more expensive? ”

Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng nodded at the same time.

Wanli thought for a while and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Although the armaments produced by Weihui Mansion are good, but the price is also relatively expensive, if all the armaments of the border army are purchased from Weihui Mansion, it is difficult for the household department to afford it, but if the Liaodong Army is allowed to continue to purchase from Weihui Mansion, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with other border armies, and the minister suggested that the armament cooperation between the Liaodong Army and Weihui Mansion be lifted." ”

Zhang Cheng glanced at Zhang Whale slightly, and thought, no wonder he was still helping Wei Hui Mansion to speak, it turned out that in order to relieve the cooperation between the border army and Wei Hui Mansion.

Wanli nodded slightly, and said: "Since this matter has attracted the attention of the border army, the imperial court should also face it cautiously, and then I will convene a court meeting to discuss this matter." ”

If this was before, Wanli would have decisively refused, after all, the household department is also his granary, and he can save a little bit, but now he is a little contradictory, because Wei Hui's mansion is good, he earns a lot, and the household department... Well, the household money is not his money, he really wants to support the purchase from Weihui Mansion, but he also has to consider it from the national level, if he really can't afford it, then he can't do it.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make a decision, he still had to talk to Guo Dan about this matter, and he also had to ask the military department about the situation.

At this time, Guo Dan didn't know about this at all, because these armaments could not bring him too much profit, Qin Zhuang was not very eager for armament orders, and the textile workshop was mainly used for civilian use, so he did not pay attention to the follow-up matters in this regard at all, and he did not know that the armaments produced by Weihui Mansion had attracted great attention among the major border armies in the north.

Not to mention anything else, now the Liaodong Army has become the most handsome army among the nine border armies of the Ming Dynasty, if this is hidden, other border armies can not find it, at least not so early, but now it is very different from the visual point of view, this other border army can not bear it, mainly because the soldiers below are not happy, the same Ming army, why they dress like nobles, and we dress like beggars.

The key is that their cotton nails are warmer and better than ours.

It's so unfair.

The guard house in the racetrack.

"Does Your Majesty want me to go over there in person?"

Tong Li asked Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "This matter is very important, because according to intelligence, if the milk valve is slightly disturbed, the Franji people may do something to the local Han people, and if we go late, then we will only be left with a pile of white bones."

We must not give them this opportunity, but the problem now is that it is impossible for the imperial court to send troops to rescue, and it will not even help those people to say a word, and my words are helpless for the time being, but no matter what, we must ensure that during this period, if the Francois want to make a move, someone must lead the Han people above to resist, and they cannot be captured.

This could lead to war, and you must go over and preside over the overall situation. ”

Tong Li frowned and said, "But what we said in the past may further irritate the Franji people and make them reject the local Han people. ”

Guo Dan said: "I will provide assistance to Tong Qianhu, and my people will help Tong Qianhu disguise himself as a silk merchant and enter Luzon." ”

Yang Feixu frowned and said: "But it's not enough to have people, the Francois have firearms, and the local Han people don't even have a decent weapon." ”

Guo Dan said: "Don't worry, I will secretly send someone to send weapons up, there are only more than 2,000 franc machine people on it, and their precautions cannot be leaky." ”

Tong Li said: "But what about here? Do you want to leave Xiao Wu here to watch. ”

"No, the fifth brother and the second uncle are your most trusted, and you need their help over there." Guo Dan shook his head, and said: "Actually, this is used to disgust Zhang Whale, I will continue to disgust him, and then I will ask Your Majesty, and then send some Jinyi guards over to make a show, so that Zhang Whale is like a fish in the throat, that is the greatest success." ”

Tong Kasa smiled and nodded, "I see." ”

The reason why Wanli agreed to set up this guard was not to weaken the East Factory, because the East Factory was also his, and it was to escort his business empire, because Wanli knew that Zhang Whale and Guo Dan had a holiday.

In the past two years, the layout has actually been completed, and all economic towns have their people.

It's just that Zhang Whale's attention was attracted by this guard, so he just stared at Jinyiwei, for fear that Jinyiwei would get out of his control, he didn't expect that Guo Dan found a group of people from the people to find out the news for him.

Of course, he doesn't care about this, for him, those people in the people will not affect his power.

Tong Li suddenly glanced at Yang Feixu.

Yang Feixu also seemed to notice his eyes, and his gaze flickered a few times.

It turned out that her father was accidentally sacrificed in the mission to spy on the Japanese Kou, although it was an accident, but this person died, and that mission naturally ended in failure, so Yang Feixu was very interested in this mission, and she hoped to comfort her father's spirit in the sky with success.

Guo Dandu saw it in his eyes and said very clearly: "Fei Fu can't pass, because after you leave, only Fei Fu can be trusted by my side, she must follow me, otherwise, those weapons may not be delivered to you." ”

Yang Feixu glanced at Guo Dan and snorted, "I didn't want to go." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I know, I just see that Tong Qianhu is a wolf with ambition and wants to kidnap you, I want him to understand that this is impossible." ”

Tong Li smiled bitterly.

Of course, Tong Li is also very willing to go, after all, he has learned a skill, but he has been cleaning up the streets, Jin Yiwei's experience is very poor, and now he can be regarded as waiting for an opportunity for him to show his skills.

The two discussed it again.

Guo Dan can only help Tong Li infiltrate Luzon Island as a businessman, as for what to do on the island, Guo Dan, a layman, naturally can't arrange it, he let Tong Li do it himself, Guo Dan's request is that he must keep the Han people on the island and prevent them from being slaughtered by the Franco.

Although he didn't know much about history, he knew very well that this era was quite barbaric, and all because of the advent of capitalism, and the massacres were really commonplace.

But Guo Dan also did not ask for the necessary moment, not to start a war with the Franco, and it was best to wait until his pirate army was formed.
