Chapter 193: Aftermath
In addition, Hong Tao led the fleet to circle most of the circle in Bohai Bay and finally worked, the Mongolian high-level allowed the attack to fail, and also allowed the loss of troops to lose generals, but it was never allowed to be beaten passively, and it was not possible to succeed on the road or on the coast, which would weaken the pride of the Mongolian army, and they were an invincible army. Therefore, from May onwards, they withdrew the troops that had attacked Goryeo, deployed their defenses at the two remaining ports of Dengju and Miju, and began to cut down trees from Goryeo, preparing to build a naval division against sea attacks.
"Hahaha...... Cixi, now I can leave with peace of mind, and tell Kong Pei not to disturb the Mongolian fleet. If necessary, you can contact some pro-Mongolian foreign businessmen and provide them with some salmon-class battleship technology, don't give them all, let them think about it, and come back with some information we need by the way. Hong Tao saw that Mongolia was actually going to build a sailor, and he laughed so much that his back molars were exposed. This saved him a lot of trouble, he had guessed several modes of warfare before, the simplest and most suitable of which was to drag the Mongols into a naval battle. This time God is really blind, it is estimated that he may have thrown this favor to the wrong person when he was tossing with God's mother, and it actually fell on his head, where to reason!
"Master, this is going to hurt people, right? Hey, hey, hey...... I pondered that they would definitely not be able to build a big ship like their master, and when the master came back, they would all sink them, cry, hehehehe...... "As she got older, Cixi's back was a little hunched, and the shape of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills became more obscene. But his brain is still very, very useful, Hong Tao just sighed, and he roughly figured out the taste. The most valuable thing is that he doesn't have any curiosity. Never asked Hong Tao what he did or why he did that. As long as Hong Tao confesses one thing clearly. Whether he understands it or not, he will strictly implement it.
"That's right, it's too timber to let them build sand ships, and it's better to build our big cargo ships. Let them cut down all the big trees in northern Goryeo and Liaodong, and use up all the wealth of the country, so that they can worry about it later. "Hong Tao knows very well how many resources it takes to raise a fleet, and every warship is piled up with copper coins. The crew is even more expensive, and even a rich place like Jinhewan can't afford to raise a large standing fleet, and now the number of pure warships added every year is up to two. If it weren't for the purpose of being stationed at various ports. Hong Tao simply didn't want to continue building warships, and changed the salmon-class cargo ship slightly, plus half of the gun deck, it was a good armed merchant ship. In peacetime, I have nothing to do with this kind of half-merchant ship and half-warship ship to run maritime trade, and I can also use it as a warship if I am full of cannons in battle.
The Mongols are arrogant, they will never play a small naval battle with themselves, and as soon as they come up, they have to go up the road of tall and pure crushing. In this case, the manpower and financial resources they spend will be astronomical, and the wealth they have plundered everywhere is estimated to be enough. Now he has not defeated the Southern Song Dynasty and lost this biggest money bag. Whether Mongolia can build this large fleet is a question, and maybe their domestic economy will collapse if they build half of it. Let's play. It's good to just play like this, they're going to play themselves to death. Just like the Soviet Union back then, it was pulled into the arms race by the old United States, and it looked very beautiful and uplifting at first, but this is a chronic poison, and by the time you realize it, you are already not far from death, and there is not even an antidote.
"Compared with their masters, they are not even as good as slaves, that is, we have fewer people, otherwise we would have burned them to ashes by pushing our galleons ashore and pushing them all the way. It's just that the master is gone, and the marriage between Mercy and Weng Ya won't be able to catch up, or I'd better let him wait for the master to come back and do something! Cixi didn't know much about the war, he didn't even know where Mongolia was, anyway, he knew that it was in the north, but this did not prevent him from praising Hong Tao and asking for a reward for his son by the way.
"Oh, yes, if you don't say that I forgot about it, don't wait for me, and then wait for Weng Ya to become an old girl. I don't have anything to give them, so how about having my last name when they have their first child? Our two families have been good for generations, your grandson is my grandson, and as long as there are still living people in our family, your family will not suffer. "Hong Tao knows very well what Cixi needs, it's useless to give him money, money is useless in Jinhewan, it's all rationed, you can't spend any money you have, and you can't show it off. Due to his background, Cixi has always felt that he is half a head inferior to others, and he is very worried about the future direction of his family, his brother's brain is not as good as his, and his son's power is weak, so he is always afraid that one day he will lose his power and be bullied. This concern is not unreasonable, Cixi and his brother are indeed not very popular in Jinhewan, because they both do the most offending work, from the residents of Jinhewan to the slaves have been offended all over again, in case the flood is a hundred years later, who can cover their family?
"That's the best, that's the best!" As soon as he heard this gift from Hong Tao, Cixi's hunchback straightened, which was better than he expected, and in the future, the son of mercy will be Hong Tao's grandson, as long as the Hong family does not fall, his family will have basic security. In his opinion, the Hong family will definitely not be able to fall, Hong Tao is a god, and it will definitely be passed on to his descendants in the end.
"Is mercy willing? And mercy doesn't count, your son married a powerful daughter-in-law! Hong Tao felt that it was too early to say this, and compassion would definitely not be the master of Weng Ya.
"Hey, hey, hey...... My son I know, Weng Ya can't fight him. Cixi was not worried, he was confident in mercy. Let him say this, Hong Tao was worried that Weng Ya was coming. Cixi makes sense, Weng Ya is a straight person, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take advantage of such a cheeky guy with a bad stomach as Cibei.
"Let the children think about the children's affairs, let's worry less, and we don't have to point fingers on the side, how about what I asked you to do?" Hong Tao didn't want to interfere in the life of Ci Compassion and Weng Ya, he felt that Cixi's heart was also in vain, who could say for sure what would happen in a few decades, instead of thinking about those things, it was better to think about the things in front of him.
"She came, and the day after I forwarded your letter to her, she went to the docks to look for me, and is now in the cabin, and she is the one who follows me on board." As soon as Cixi heard Hong Tao talk about business, she immediately lowered her voice a lot, and her expression was also sneaky.
"Let her come, I'm not stealing, there's no need to be so mysterious." Hong Tao made Cixi's expression a little uncomfortable, and straightened his waist, wanting to make himself look tall and upright.
"What about Boss Luo? Did I put him on the Karl ship? Cixi didn't feel any righteousness from Hong Tao, and the person Hong Tao asked him to pick up was Jiang Zhuyi from Mingzhou. Cixi is clear about the relationship between this woman and Hong Tao, but he has been helping Hong Tao carry the black pot from beginning to end, and he still takes the initiative, all the arrangements about Jiang Zhuyi are his instructions, and he has never said anything to anyone except him.
"Let's invite us together, it's a big deal for me to marry another four-room, what do you say?" Hong Tao is thick-skinned, and he said ** confidently, and there is a little bit of a sense that no one is afraid, this master and servant are really a natural pair, no one dislikes anyone, no one.
"Isn't there a baby salamander, I'm afraid that the child will find out. I heard my daughter say that the salamander is very smart in school, and every teacher praises her, and I am afraid that this kind of thing will not be hidden for a few days. "Cixi still hasn't moved, he's picking up the missing for Hong Tao, Hong Tao is good for him, so he can't be sloppy at all.
"It's okay, the child will know sooner or later, instead of hiding it from her, it's better to let her know it early, and they will get along well in the future." The theory that Hong Tao said made Cixi speechless, he simply admired it to death, the master is the master, this atmosphere, Mount Tai collapsed without blinking!
"Wait, there's one more thing...... You listen to me, you don't interrupt or contradict, just remember every word I say. Cixi was just about to leave, but Hong Tao called him back again, with a very serious expression.
"I'm ready...... Cixi knew that Hong Tao had serious things to explain, so she quickly took out a small notebook and a pen from her pocket, and posed for the record. It's not bragging, what Cixi recorded, except for himself, no one can understand it, not even Hong Tao can understand it. He used the cipher system invented by Hong Tao and fused the words he created according to his hometown dialect, and mixed them together, just like ghost drawing symbols.
"If Carl and I don't come back within two years, it's likely that we won't be back! It is possible that the ship sank in the middle of a heavy storm, or it could be that I was shipwrecked in Carl's hometown. No matter what the reason is, you don't have to avenge me, you don't have to go to me for your life, you just need to take care of my family. If there is a change here and you feel that it is dangerous, then take my family and take a boat to find Moor. I'll explain it to Bo Jiao, and he will take you to find Medini, where he will settle down, do you understand? "Hong Tao is explaining what happened to him. The voyage to Europe, and perhaps to the Americas, is full of dangers, both natural and human. If something really happens, you can't just leave it alone, Jinhewan and Da Song can't take care of it themselves, and their families and Cixi can still take care of it.
If Jinhewan loses itself, what will become of it, Hong Tao does not know. Now these board members will not do anything to their families, they are afraid of those rising stars, they are all wolf cubs cultivated by themselves, in case there are interests to carry out any reforms, and there is an irreconcilable conflict of interest with their own families, the outcome will be very tragic. Hong Tao doesn't want to see that result, he can't hide if he can't be provoked! Pojiao can be trusted, and so can Martini, the former is like his son, the latter is a pure businessman, and South Africa is a good haven under the principle of no conflict of interest. In the future, Hong Tao can't control it, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. (To be continued.) )
