"Xu Lang, what are you painting, when did you change to painting. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Everyone stuck their heads over.

"I'll explain." Xu Lang said the same thing as Tao Min, "Now the whole of East Asia is divided into seven or eight forces, Huang Taiji and Tao Min are counted as one side, and they control the whole north, Korea, Northeast and Mongolia; We are on one side with the Ming Dynasty and Zheng Zhilong, and now control several points south of the Great Wall, half of Taiwan and Southeast Asia; Westerners are counted as one side; Lee was in his own right, but now the British were also involved. You see, every color indicates a force, if you were Huang Taiji or Tao Min, what would you do in this situation? ”

Everyone thought for a while, and Han Wantao said first: "I think Tao Min's goal is still to break through." Now that the entire north has been controlled by Huang Taiji, then according to the trend of history, they must go south and enter the Central Plains. ”

"It's a sure thing to go south." Wei Yang said, "But I think there is another possibility, Tao Min may also unite with Westerners." This is because, first, Tao Min will not give up on Japan, and he is not capable of taking Japan alone now. Since we can think of attacking Japan with the help of Westerners, Tao Min will do the same. Second, if Westerners do lose Taiwan, their interest in Japan will increase, which will also increase the possibility of a union between the two. ”

"If I were Tao Min, I would have another idea." Leng Tianbing said, "Tao Gong sent 3,000 guns to Mongolia, we don't care if Tao Min went to Mongolia or not, if there is a Mongolian iron cavalry equipped with flintlock pistols, then I will attack Xinjiang and Tibet, and attack Sichuan from the west, which is what the Mongols did back then." Moreover, if Tibet and Sichuan were occupied by Tao Min, they could form an encirclement posture against the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xu Lang asked Xia Yang: "Old Xia, you haven't spoken since the meeting, express your opinion." ”

"I don't know much about military affairs." Xia Yang smiled, "But I really have an idea, do you think Tao Min will unite Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, after all, now they all think that we killed Gao Yingxiang, Tao Min will not take advantage of this matter." ”

Xu Lang wrote down everyone's opinions one by one in his notebook: "I have consulted Lu Lao, there is one thing that may have an impact on us. In February next year, the Tulip Bubble burst will break out in the Netherlands, which will cause many people in the Netherlands to lose their families in an instant, which in turn will affect the Dutch national economy. ”

"Xu Lang, when did you become an economist?" Dong Fei said with a smile, "What kind of tulip do you talk about, and what impact will this matter have on our Yulin Bay?" ”

"I won't talk about the specific process, it's complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. If you really want to know, you can ask Lu Lao. Xu Lang replied, "To put it simply, the Netherlands or the whole of Europe is now hyping tulips, which has caused its price to rise by hundreds or even thousands of times. It is recorded that a tulip worth three thousand guilders could be exchanged for eight fat pigs, four fat bulls, two tons of cream, a thousand pounds of cheese, a silver cup, a bag of clothes, a bed with a mattress attached and a boat. But next February, prices suddenly plummeted, 3,000 people were said to be in debt, and Dutch cities were thrown into chaos. It was also the first speculative bubble in the history of modern finance. ”

"But what does this have to do with us?" Cheng Yiyi asked, "The Netherlands is too far away from us. ”

"I don't know if it's going to affect us, so I'm saying maybe there will be an impact, maybe there will be no impact at all. But we assume that if this event affects the finances of the Dutch East India Company, then the Dutch may indeed withdraw from Taiwan. ”

"I think you're thinking too much." Cheng Yiyi smiled, "You just love Lenovo too much." ”

Xu Lang didn't speak, and smiled at Cheng Yiyi.

"That's probably the case." Dong Fei saw that no one was talking, "If no one wants to express their opinions anymore, let's summarize the situation." Xu Lang, Tian Bing, your General Staff has come up with a plan to report to the Military Commission, and we need to agree on the next step. ”

"Yes, Chairman Dong." Xu Lang replied together with Leng Tianbing.

"Then we'll adjourn."

After the meeting ended, Xu Lang did not go back to the General Staff with Leng Tianbing, nor did he go home with Cheng Yiyi, but went to the courtroom and called Shi Xianyang to go to Xia Yang's office together.

Xia Yang was looking at the report sent back by Sun Dalei and Liu Guannan in the office, and the tax work of Thanksgiving County and Changhua County has been completed, and these two people are now in Danzhou.

Xia Yang saw Xu Lang and Shi Xianyang come in, and closed the document: "Didn't you just finish the meeting, why are you here again." ”

"I don't know." Shi Xianyang's face was innocent, "Xu Lang brought me here." ”

"What, Chairman Xia, can't I talk to you again after the meeting?" Xu Lang said with a smile.

Xia Yang smiled bitterly: "I didn't say that I couldn't talk, but I'm worried that you Xu Lang will have something like that, your ideas are often so unexpected." ”

Xu Lang didn't smile, and sat down on the chair by himself: "I do have some ideas, I didn't say it during the meeting just now, I want to talk to you and Xianyang first." Beiming and Guannan are not at home, and you two can understand my thoughts best. ”

"Don't count me in, I don't understand you." Shi Xianyang smiled, "It's noon, let's go and have a drink together, if you don't drink, how can you talk about it." ”

The three of them came to a remote restaurant outside the earthen wall, there were few customers in the restaurant, Shi Xianyang asked for a private room and ordered a few dishes. When the guy had finished serving the food and drinks, he closed the door.

"There's no one else, just say it." Shi Xianyang poured wine for everyone.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just about the British." Xu Lang picked up his wine glass.

Xia Yang didn't take the cup, and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong with the British, didn't you already say about Weddell when you had a meeting just now, you can just get your opinion, what else can you do?" ”

"What's Weddell's business, what's going on?" Shi Xianyang did not know this history.

Xu Lang briefly introduced the matter of Weddell's fleet to Shi Xianyang, and then said: "I have a bold idea about the British, but it may not be realistic at all, and it cannot be implemented. ”

"Is there anything you think is not bold?" Xia Yang smiled, "Xu Lang, let me guess first, do you want to cooperate with the British?" ”

Xu Lang nodded.
