"Yes, I am just a businessman, how can I be worthy of fighting with Your Highness, since this is the case, then please give our father and son a death, which can be regarded as worthy of the court." Li Dan seemed to be out of the way, and said resolutely.

Xiubao never thought that after being tortured like this by the sea ban, Li Dan still had a pure heart. "When I say you're unworthy, I mean you're not worthy to be a businessman." Hideho regained his composure and explained gently, "There is no merchant like you, who doesn't make any money, so why don't you learn from the Franco." ”

Although Xiubao's attitude eased, Li Dan still did not relax his vigilance, and insisted: "My dynasty is a dignified central country, the four feudal domains are subdued, all countries come to the court, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the minister dies Sheji, how can it be compared to Taixi's Yi, although he is a businessman, but there is still courtesy, righteousness and shame, and he will never do anything that harms the overall situation, or that sentence, if you want to kill, you must scrape and listen to the respect, Li will never beg for mercy." ”

"It is said that the Han people are iron-clad, I didn't believe it before, but now I feel the wind of a big country." Xiubao waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and continued, "Does Brother Li really think that I am going to buy the Galion sailboat to deal with the Ming Kingdom? ”

"Isn't it?" Li Dan sneered, "The Gallien galleon is a giant ship that can compete with the Fu Ship, more than thirty meters long, ten meters wide, three to four decks, each layer can be equipped with more than ten guns, the main hull can be placed with heavy cannons, and there are light gun groups in the bow and stern for defense, and the flexibility of the three-masted sailing ship is also beyond the reach of the Fu ship, not to mention the hard hull and ramming angles, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a 'sea fortress', such a divine object, if it is not against the Ming Dynasty sailors, it will not be used at all, right?" ”

"Brother Li really misunderstood me." Xiubao shook his head in frustration and explained, "From the beginning of the war to the present, has my country's naval army ever fought with your country's naval division?" Can I rely on these few galleons to withstand the huge sailors of the Ming Dynasty and East Asia? Our army is now in the Korean Dynasty is not safe, how can we still have the leisure to vainly try to attack the Ming Dynasty? ”

Hearing Xiubao say this, Li Dan did think for a while, from the beginning of the war to the present, although the sailors of the Ming Dynasty provided a large number of sailors and weapons for the Korean navy, they have been wandering in the Bohai Bay, and there is no exchange of fire with the Japanese army at all; Moreover, although the fortune ships of the Ming Dynasty had their own defects, they had defeated the Spaniards and the Dutch many times by virtue of their numerical superiority, and if Xiubao wanted to sneak attack the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty with three galleons, he would inevitably be attacked by the Fujian Naval Division and the Zhejiang Naval Division, and the result would not have to be thought about at all; The last point is also the most important, now that the Japanese army is mainly stationed on the southern coast of Korea, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale counteroffensive, let alone bypass North Korea to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Dan was a little confused: "Since His Royal Highness doesn't want to deal with the Ming Dynasty sailors, why do you want to get the Gallion Sailboat?" ”

"Brother Li really doesn't know or pretends not to know." Xiubao lowered his head in frustration and counted carefully: "Yupo, Tangxiangpo, Sacheon, Xianshan Island, Busan, since entering the DPRK, every naval battle has been invincible under the hands of the Korean navy, this matter must have become a laughing stock spread all over the world, right?" ”

"So that's the case," Li Dan seemed to understand a little, and cross-examined: "If you deal with the North Korean navy, the lucky ship is enough, why bother trying to get a Western sailing ship?" ”

"Brother Li doesn't understand my hard work," Xiubao said disappointedly, "If you use the fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty against the tortoiseshell ship of North Korea, you must not be able to mix in Quanzhou, right?" ”

Hearing this, Li Danmao suddenly opened, as Xiubao said, if he really provided Xiubao with a blessing boat, it wouldn't be long before the Ming Dynasty would be able to find out his own, not to mention that the business had not been done, and even the end would be the same as Wang Zhi, and the head would be shown to the public.

"Is that wrong for you?" Li Dan tried to ask, but in fact, he had already succumbed in his heart.

Xiubao also saw the change in his attitude, so he took the opportunity to add to the fire, and poured out with a sad face: "But isn't it, I know that Brother Li is enthusiastic, how can he make a request that makes it difficult for you, I thought you could understand my hardships, but I never thought that it would finally come to such a point, hey, I blame me for being too domineering, and it is difficult for strong people, so that Brother Li and Ling Lang are frightened, since you don't want to, I won't force it, just act as if this incident didn't happen, but it's a pity that I can't avenge those fallen sailors." Xiubao couldn't extricate himself as he spoke, choked up many times between his words, and Li Dan's psychological defense line was gradually removed.

"Boats, it's not a problem, artillery, it's not a problem, not only that, but you can also recruit Western sailors and gunners for Your Highness to serve your country's navy, but Your Highness must promise to do the next thing." Li Dan calmed down and said lightly.

"Don't say one thing, even if it's ten, as long as I can take revenge, I will do my best." Xiubao is still crying and sad, but his heart is already happy.

"That's good," Li Dan said word by word, "No matter what the outcome of the battle is, after the war, His Highness must blow up those Western sailing ships in public, leaving not a single one." ”

"That's fine!" Xiubao replied decisively, "Please also rest assured that Brother Li will definitely be invited to the scene at that time to prove his sincerity." ”

"Since this is the case, I will accept it here," Li Dan took a deep breath and said calmly: "But please be mentally prepared, although you can get these advanced warships in Xia, but the number will never be too much, five is estimated to be the limit, and in terms of price..."

"The price is no problem, no matter how much money is on me," Xiubao patted his chest and promised, "Brother Li just needs to do his best, even if there is only one ship, I will not have half a complaint." ”

"In that case, then our father and son will take their leave." After speaking, Li Dan motioned for Li Guozhu to get up and prepare to leave, but at this moment, Li Guozhu suddenly felt pain in his abdomen and fell to the ground.

Soon after Lee Kook-suke was sent into the inner room, Hideho followed him in.

"You guys go out first." Hideho waved his hand, and the doctor and attendant in the house respectfully retreated outside.

"Say, what 'orders' does the young master of the Li family have?" Xiubao raised his eyebrows lightly and said indifferently.

"The lord is extremely smart, I really can't hide anything from you." Li Guozhu smiled, quite flattering, "Does the lord know that the envoy of the Ming Kingdom Mission has escaped by boat?" Compared with Li Dan's prudence and independence, Li Guozhu shouted as a "lord" on the left and a "lord" on the right, completely with a loyal face, and the gap between father and son really made Xiubao a little unacceptable.

"yes, I really don't know." Although Hideho was a little surprised to hear the news, he still maintained the unfazed demeanor of the superior, which made Li Guozhu somewhat disappointed.

"But please rest assured, he is now in the hands of the minister, whether to kill or stay at the disposal of the lord." Li Guozhu still greeted him with a smile.

"Did Zun know about this?" Hidebo asked coldly.

"Such a big thing, how can I let my father know," Li Guozhu said awe-inspiringly, "The lord must have seen it today, for the sake of the so-called integrity, the father completely disregarded your great kindness and virtue, and openly bargained with you, the minister saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, with his kind of character, if he knew about it, he would definitely send the envoy back to China, this is still a trivial matter, if the lord's peace plan is delayed, then the father will not be a pity even if he dies a hundred times." ”

"Well, it seems that you know more about current affairs than Ling Zun." Xiubao nodded and said with appreciation: "It is a great blessing for the young man to have such foresight, since you are honest with each other, I will also be open and honest, if Your Excellency is determined to take over the Li family's business, I will give my full support." ”
