Li Lin first asked a question again, that is, in what way will the war against the island nation end.

Gao Junshan told him that how to deal with the Tartars, how to deal with the island country.

Li Lin thought about it and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence very much, but he knew that the emperor's decision was always the most correct, and although he didn't understand it now, he would definitely be able to understand it later.

Gao Junshan gave Li Linxian an explanation of the world trade system he had learned, so as to raise his understanding of the position of first assistant in the future.

Gao Junshan told Li Linxian that the current world trade is divided into two major trade circles, the Pacific and the Atlantic, the trade in the Pacific is mainly concentrated in Asia and Europe, Europe is mainly imported, and the types of imported commodities are constantly popularized, earlier it was mainly spices, pepper, amber, linen, rice, cotton, tin, lead, silk fabrics, pottery, silk, etc., and recently a large number of industrial products produced in China have been imported, such as soap, umbrellas, water shoes, aluminum pots, hot water bottles, and other goods. Their large imports provided us with silver taels of white flowers. The Atlantic trade sphere, under the leadership of the Netherlands, has now developed into an important subsidiary of the Afro-Eurasian trade and the division of labor in the world economy.

Li Lin first asked: "What is our international strategy?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Our strategy is to break the European trade system and establish our own system, and we want to become the leader of world trade." This determines that we cannot be friends with the Dutch, and they still control half of the South Seas, which is detrimental to our interests, and we will eventually drive the Dutch out of the whole South Seas. ”

In Li Linxian's mind, a picture of a lofty prospect emerged......

Gao Junshan only gave Li Lin a general introduction to the situation, and many specific substantive things could only be learned after he went to the Shoufu Yamen.

……

Gao Junshan returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and happened to meet Bailisha, who was reporting something to Gao Junshan.

"Maocheng, is there something urgent?" Gao Junshan asked as he invited Bailisha to sit down.

Bailisha said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has just received a telegram from the North Korean side, and the DPRK has agreed to send an army of 130,000 people to join our army's campaign to conquer the island country, but they have put forward one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"They want us to support them with 100,000 mini guns and 200 artillery pieces free of charge."

Gao Junshan said without hesitation: "Promise them." Allocate 100,000 guns for the training of our militia to them, and artillery can also be given to them. ”

Bailisha said: "Please give your majesty an edict to the Military and Political Yuan to let them do this." ”

"Yes." Gao Junshan stood up, "I'll go to the Military and Political Yuan now, you can go with me!" ”

Bailisha also stood up and said, "I won't go, I still have to arrange the transfer of rice to the island country." ”

Gao Junshan said: "This is a big deal, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, you still have to go and get busy with yours!" ”

"In this case, I will take my leave!"

Gao Junshan stopped Bailisha: "Wait a minute, I met with Li Lin just now, and I told him about transferring him to you, and I will give an order to the Academy of Science and Technology after you go back." Now Li Linxian is grasping the matter of the money printing machine, and you ask him to continue to get the money printing machine out and take care of the work of issuing banknotes. ”

"Yes!"

Gao Junshan nodded: "You go back first!" ”

After Bailisha left, Gao Junshan asked Li Derong to prepare a sedan chair, and he wanted to go to the Military and Political Yuan.

Gao Junshan just came back by chariot, and now that he was still outside the palace, Li Derong told the sedan chair man who carried the chariot not to leave first, and the emperor had to go out.

Gao Junshan sat on the throne, came to the Military and Political Yuan, and ordered Cai Zhishan to prepare 100,000 Mini guns and 200 artillery pieces for militia training and hand them over to the North Korean army at any time.

Cai Zhishan said: "It is difficult to prepare so many guns at once, give us three months, and we will transport the guns to North Korea in batches." ”

Gao Junshan waved his hand and said: "Three months is too long, the North Korean army must conduct several months of training after getting the gun, and we need them to support our island war." ”

Cai Zhishan said: "We first gather the guns in the hands of the militia of the three eastern provinces and transport them to North Korea, which can greatly shorten the time. ”

Gao Junshan nodded and said, "I agree." The Military and Political Yuan is going to send an officer training regiment to Korea to train soldiers for them, and although the militia's guns are not as fast as the Mini guns of our regular army, they are many times stronger than those spears, broadswords, bows and arrows. ”

Cai Zhishan asked: "Which one is better for them with artillery?" ”

"Mountain artillery. There are also many mountainous areas in the island country. ”

Cai Zhishan asked again: "How to configure the ammunition, please advise Your Majesty." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Give them enough ammunition." Could it be that they still dare to go to war against us when they get the Minnie gun? ”

Cai Zhishan said: "They don't have the guts. ”

Gao Junshan said: "We can't help but be unguarded, after the end of the war in the island country, we will immediately stop supplying ammunition to North Korea." ”

"Yes!"

"How is the operation of my 603rd Division landing on the island progressing?" Gao Junshan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, my 603rd Division has already stared at Hirado Island."

"Didn't the Tokugawa shogunate react?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Tokugawa Shogunate's troops have blocked my landing on the island, and with the cooperation of the troops stationed on the island, the troops who landed on the island drove out the 3,000 troops of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Hirado, and this is the battle report we just received." Cai Zhishan reported to Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan asked again: "Where is my follow-up troops?" ”

Cai Zhishan replied: "My Second Army has passed through Ganzhou in Jiangxi and is marching rapidly in the direction of Fujian. ”

Gao Junshan instructed: "Be quick. According to Zheng Zhilong's report, the ronin of the island nation is plotting a riot, and we can use this riot in the island nation to transport our troops to more parts of the island country. ”

Cai Zhishan asked: "They also held a peasant uprising?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "The ronins of the island country are nothing more than some rogue people wandering around, they are not farmers, more precisely, some unemployed people who wield guns and knives, and they can't set off much wind and waves, we just take advantage of their civil strife to drive our army up." ”

Cai Zhishan asked again: "Can we take this opportunity to recruit a group of ronins to use for me?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Zheng Zhilong is already doing this. However, the people of the island nation are unreliable, and if we want to conquer them completely, we still have to rely on our own army. ”
