Chapter 707: Making Up and Reaping
Not only was Zhen Jiu frightened by Zhen Qian, but even Wang Lun, who was calm, became more and more difficult to look at, Zhen Qian was not blaming Zhen Jiu for acting recklessly, "You can't be blamed for this matter, you didn't know that it was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty before you got on the boat, there are many coincidences in this world, what needs to be considered now is the possible consequences of this matter?" ”
There is nothing more coincidental than Zhen Qian's own crossing, but with this, Zhen Qian is mentally prepared for anything to happen.
In the end, what happened in this matter was not right, Zhen Qian calmed down and analyzed: "There is a cause and there must be an effect, the appearance of the Tang envoys is because of the war between the Silla Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom, and no one can stop ......." ”
If Zhen Qian knew that the real purpose of the Tang envoy this time was to find himself, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
After listening to Zhen Jiu explain the whole thing, Zhen Qian was silent for a moment and said: "The matter has happened, let's consider the worst outcome first, but the Wufeng Islands were detected by the Silla Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom, causing a war, treating the Wufeng Islands as pirates, and giving an explanation to the Tang envoys?" ”
"Is this the worst possible outcome?"
Wang Lun was much more optimistic than Zhen Qian, and comforted: "Except for the flying steamer, no one knows that the person who robbed the Tang envoys is us, even if it is found that we robbed the Tang envoys, it is just a war with Silla and Wa, aren't we already preparing for war with Silla and Wa?" Now that the Datang Naval Division is no longer what it used to be, even if it launches an attack on the Wufeng Islands, I am afraid it will take more than a year to prepare, and the Wufeng Islands should be able to fight with the Datang Naval Division at that time! ”
Zhen Qian didn't want to provoke Datang at this time, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the quality and training of the Datang naval warships might not be as good as the Wufeng Islands, but the Datang ships had more troops! Dispatching thousands of warships and tens of thousands of sailors to play as if they were playing, can the Wufeng Islands compete with Datang?
Of course not!
But Zhen Jiu really can't be blamed for this matter, especially after learning about the five-tooth battleship from Zhen Jiu's mouth, Zhen Qian's worries were immediately replaced by excitement and joy.
There are not many people who know the Wuya battleship in this era, after all, this kind of ship is not suitable for sailing on the sea, even in the inland river, it is also an aircraft carrier-like existence in later generations, think about the fact that Lao Mei only has a few aircraft carriers in his family, and the Wuya battleship is also not a few in Datang, and it was actually hit by Zhen Jiu, a kid, which is even more exciting than winning hundreds of millions of prizes.
"You mean...... Brought back the sailors and the singers accompanying the Tang envoys? ”
"Yes!"
If Zhen Jiu hadn't taken a fancy to the Wuya warship, he wouldn't have cared about the pirates', because of the existence of pirates, the trade level of the Tang Dynasty to Silla and the Wa Kingdom would have increased a lot, and this kind of thing is very beneficial to the current Wufeng Islands.
With the development of all walks of life in the Gobong Islands, it will not be long before trade with Silla and Wa will inevitably be replaced by the Gobong Islands, and no one wants to compete with the Gobong Islands.
Zhen Jiu understands this truth!
The monopoly of trade means huge profits, and the Wufeng Islands are the first to be close to the water, and last year alone, the trade between the Wufeng Islands and the Wa Kingdom exceeded 2 million.
If it weren't for the sudden war between Silla and the Wa Kingdom, the Wufeng Islands would be ready to establish a trade route with Silla next year, and then the Bohai Sea Sea Trade Route would be established, and once these three sea trade routes were stabilized, not to mention the local goods produced in the Wufeng Islands, the trade scale of the Wufeng Islands would be more than ten times more than ten times if the goods of these countries were shipped back to Datang.
If you want to develop maritime trade, it is not enough to rely on small boats, and the Wuya battleship is a pillow sent by Zhen Qian's sleepiness, which is too timely!
Zhen Qian knew that until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the largest merchant ship in the western maritime trade was only 2,000 materials, which was equivalent to 2,000 tons of ships in later generations, and the Wuya battleship was a large ship of more than 2,000 materials, which was equivalent to the 3,000-stone sea ship in the planning of the Wufeng Islands.
It's exciting to think about!
"The Wuya battleship and sailors were handed over to Mr. Ke, and as for the singer who accompanied the ship, they were handed over to Qingyan?" Zhen Jiu hurriedly explained.
"Hmmm! That's a good thing to do...... ”
Even if Zhen Qian saw the five-tooth battleship, he would be as tempted as Zhen Jiu, so if he treated others with himself, Zhen Qian would naturally not complain about Zhen Jiu, and even had merit!
As for the consequences triggered!
Now I can only remedy it, thinking of this, I said: "It's impossible for the sailor and the singer to be sent back, if you want these people to stay in the Wufeng Islands with peace of mind, you must bring their relatives here, the sailor's affairs will be handed over to Mr. Ke, and the singer's affairs will be handed over to Qingyan, and then let Wang Qun finish this matter in Datang?" ”
Zhen Qian knew in his heart what Zhen Jiu meant by bringing the sailors and singers back, not to mention that there was a shortage of sailors in the Wufeng Islands, the sailors on the Wuya battleship were all elites, and they were the most suitable as test pilots and instructors, and such talents would naturally not give up.
As for those accompanying singers, they are all hard-working people, and if there is a chance to get out of the sea of suffering, Zhen Jiu will naturally not turn a blind eye.
Zhen Jiu robbed this time, and casually gave the gifts from the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to Silla and the Wa Kingdom, to be honest, Zhen Jiu and Zhen Qian will not value these gifts, but the robbery should have the appearance of robbery, and it can't be anticlimactic!
Compared with the capture of the Wuya battleship, Zhen Jiu's return to the Bohai Sea this time is nothing remarkable, he met Zhen Er and others who came from Heiyu City to meet at the mouth of the Liaohe River, the situation of Heiyu City is much more difficult than that of Wufeng Islands, and this meeting is mainly due to the complementary advantages and resources of the two sides.
The fierce fire oil, furs, and horns in Black Domain City are all strategic resources that Zhen Qian urgently needs, although he can also buy some directly from the herdsmen, but the quantity is still too small, especially things like cowhides, horns, and cow tendons, which are contraband anywhere, not to mention the price, even if you have more money, don't think about buying them in large quantities.
Heiyu City brought more than 100,000 beef tendons alone this time, this kind of quantity can alarm Li Longji's existence even in the Tang Dynasty, with these materials, the output of weapons and equipment in the Wufeng Islands can be increased by more than ten times.
Needless to say, this kind of thing is an ordinary thing in Black Domain City, but it is definitely a scarce commodity in the Wufeng Islands, and Black Domain City also knows that the Wufeng Islands are in urgent need, so it sent five thousand barrels at once, so that the Wufeng Islands can boldly use fire oil bombs.
