After the Wei Dynasty left, Zhu Youxiao's gaze turned back again, and then said: "In order to ensure the smooth operation of this war, North Korea should open several ports to Daming and let Daming's warships dock." In this way, both parties can have better communication and do business more conveniently. ”

This matter must be done, so Zhu Youxiao directly mentioned it.

This is a kind of garrison in disguise, and it will definitely not withdraw after entering it anyway. If there is any change, Daming can also respond in time.

Now the Ming Dynasty has occupied the entire Liaodong, and when the Wa State is defeated in the future, then North Korea will be between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa State. This kind of survival map, it is estimated that it is difficult to climb out.

When Li Zong heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and it was cold.

Let the army of the Ming Dynasty go to North Korea?

You don't have to think about it, it's not that simple. Li Zong has already seen that the Ming Dynasty will not only take action against the Japanese state, but also against North Korea.

What should I do? Don't you agree?

Li Zong raised his head and looked at Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youxiao.

Sun Chengzong still had a calm face, and he looked like I didn't speak.

As for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has a bright smile on his face, and he looks like he is discussing with you.

But Li Zong knew that this was not a discussion. If he doesn't agree, then maybe Daming will turn the spearhead and attack his own country.

Li Zong was ruthless in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Of course there is no problem with this, after all, it is a joint operation." The minister will do his best to cooperate, and there is no problem in opening the port. And there was an island between the Wa Kingdom and Korea, which could be used by the Ming Dynasty to garrison and dock. ”

Although I don't know which island Li Zong wants to assign to himself, he will definitely not be able to do it if he is small.

The island between the Japanese and Korea, I am more interested in the future Jeju Island, that location is just right for the Ming Dynasty, whether it is to the Japanese country, or to North Korea, it is very suitable.

There is also a very important island, Tsushima Island, which was later controlled by Japan. If you fight this time, you will definitely take Tsushima Island.

It's just that a better logistics base is needed, and Tsushima is not suitable. On the contrary, Jeju Island is more suitable for Daming, and you can attack in all directions.

Anyway, no matter which island Li Zong gives, what he wants is Jeju Island.

Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "It's so good, this matter is so decided." ”

Li Zong nodded bitterly, still maintaining a smile on his face, and said, "All obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

Sun Chengzong on the side didn't care, anyway, Li Zong agreed, which is good.

As for His Majesty's idea of fighting the Japanese Kingdom, Sun Chengzong didn't care even more. Anyway, the country owes it to clean up, so let's fight it.

You know, Your Majesty has been spending money on the navy, and it's not been a day or two.

Although it is now called the Ming Royal Navy, in Sun Chengzong's opinion, it is the former sailor, but the warships are more and larger than before, and they are all equipped with new weapons. If you want to fight a Japanese country, it shouldn't be a problem.

With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, fighting a war is not a big deal. As long as you don't fight that kind of dizzy war, it's not a big deal.

Besides, isn't there the cooperation of North Korea?

There shouldn't be any major problems. What's more, he had to go back to the capital to continue his research, so Sun Chengzong didn't speak.

"Good." Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with Li Zong's answer, and said with a bright smile on his face: "That's it." Now that we're done, let's go for a drink. ”

Zhu Youxiao said directly: "After you go back, you draw up a national document, and then I will stamp the jade seal." ”

Naturally, there was no need to sign a treaty between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

The signing of a treaty is a matter between two reciprocal countries. The Ming Dynasty and Korea have never been reciprocal countries, and Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such thing as a treaty at all.

The way for the two sides to communicate was that the DPRK wrote a letter of state, and then Zhu Youxiao agreed. This is the courtier's invitation to the king.

In this national letter, North Korea needs to bitterly show the harm done to them by the Japanese state, write that they need the help of the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, write down the price they can pay.

None of the things we have just talked about are requests from the Ming Dynasty, they are all requests from the DPRK, and this will not change. Even if this is the meaning of the Ming Dynasty and the meaning of Zhu Youxiao.

After the national credentials are handed over, Zhu Youxiao will stamp the jade seal and agree.

Li Zong was helpless in his heart, but his strength did not allow him to resist the Ming Dynasty, and he could only accept his fate. But he had one more thing to say.

Li Zong didn't have any cheekiness, and said directly: "Your Majesty, if the North Korean army wants to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, it is really a little weak. Our army is too poor, and our weapons are backward, I'm afraid we will make a mistake. ”

"I wonder if you can give us some of Daming's weapons? We are willing to buy with money. As long as His Majesty agrees, the price is negotiable. ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Li Zong to buy weapons.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao didn't have the idea of selling weapons originally, but when he heard him say this, he suddenly had some ideas.

This money is not earned in vain. The arms trade is a lucrative business, and it can be done.

So Zhu Youxiao stopped again and sat back directly.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty really had weapons to sell, that is, the batch of equipment eliminated by the royal army, artillery and muskets.

It's just that the artillery is an old artillery, and the musket is an old flintlock pistol.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to sell these things to Li Zong.

Compared with the weapons they use, these things are indeed not advanced enough, and they are even more than one era behind. But for outsiders, it's still a very advanced weapon.

What Zhu Youxiao wanted to sell to North Korea were the artillery guns used in the past, some of which were even from Qi Jiguang's era. There are also those firearms that have been eliminated, such as tiger squat cannons and the like. In addition, there are muskets, arquebuses, and other things in the warehouse.

Even if you don't have it, you can collect some of it from all over the country, replace it with the military equipment, and then sell all the old equipment that has been replaced to North Korea.

In this way, not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also turn all this rags upside down.

As for the Ming army, Zhu Youxiao no longer had the idea of changing flintlock pistols for them. That thing doesn't mean much, it's a waste to make it now.

In the future arms sales, Zhu Youxiao didn't think of who he needed to sell arms to. In an age like this, there is really no need to do any trade.

If you really want money or something, then use force to fight and rob it. This has always been the way the world is, and there are no messy rules at all.

Besides, after this batch of weapons is consumed, I am not going to make it again.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao seemed to agree, Li Zong's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

Finally, there is a happy thing!

If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty agrees to this matter, it will also be good news. At least their own army has decent weapons, and when they fight the Japanese country, they can have fewer casualties, and they can fight more places, and maybe they will have more benefits.

How could Li Zong be unhappy?

It was a good idea for him to go to the Wa Kingdom to occupy more territory and use it to make up for his losses.

When Sun Chengzong heard that North Korea wanted to buy weapons, he frowned directly beside him.

He didn't expect Li Zong to say this. What he didn't expect was that His Majesty actually wanted to agree.

This is not good news, the Ming Dynasty finally came up with such things, how much money has His Majesty invested over the years, how can he sell them so casually?

In fact, Sun Chengzong didn't know that these things could not be developed overnight. It's not that if I sell you a weapon, you'll be able to make it.

This requires the support of the entire country's industrial base, whether it is the steel industry, or machine tools, or forging, etc., all aspects are integrated together to have such a result as Daming.

With the level of science and technology in this era, no one can do it. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, how many countries have no way to have a complete production line of weapons and equipment?

Most countries still need to import to buy it, and this kind of thing is not surprising.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter can be discussed later." Sun Chengzong said directly: "There are enough things to talk about today. After today's discussion is finalized, it is not too late to talk about arms trading. After all, if you want to attack the Wa Kingdom, it still takes a lot of time to prepare. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong and knew what he meant.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Zong and felt that it was okay to drag it out. A delay can make Li Zong spend more money, and this kind of thing is also conducive to negotiations.

Zhu Youxiao said directly: "What Master Sun said makes sense, then this matter is decided." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong again and said, "Let's put this matter back first." We've already talked about the previous things, and now I'm in a good mood, go to the bar. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao stood up again and prepared to eat, without any intention of saying any more.

Li Zong was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something more. But when he saw Sun Chengzong glaring at him directly, he also understood in his heart that the emperor's teacher didn't want to talk about this matter at this time.

Sun Chengzong's words just now directly made the emperor of the Ming Dynasty change his mind, which shows his status in the heart of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If you continue to talk at this time, I am afraid that you will offend this person, and you will not be able to do anything at that time.

Li Zong could only hold back and say, "All obey Your Majesty's orders." ”
