After reading the letter, Zhao Shuo was slightly stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Isn't it time to fight again? This is a problem. You must know that the current Zhao Shuo Navy should be the strongest.

And the people who ambushed Zhao Shuo were obviously the Mongols and the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, why don't you take advantage of your advantage to kill them on the sea? But it is not suitable to fight? This is a big problem.

Speaking of ironclad ships, Zhao Shuo told Zhao Cheng that without an industrialized transmitter, even if an ironclad ship is built, its power will be greatly reduced, and it will not even be able to go to sea at all.

But now, industrialization has clearly not yet begun, because commerce is only just developing. At this time, is it too early to start studying ironclads?

Zhao Shuo hesitated, he didn't understand what Zhao Cheng was going to do.

"Lord Wang, who is Zhao Cheng?" After reading the secret letter that Zhao Shuo had placed on the table, Orihino asked Zhao Shuo. "With the strength of the prince, is there still a lord to be afraid of? This is obviously Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty to test our strength, at this time, we should give them a hard blow, otherwise they will not have a long memory. ”

Zhao Shuo was still pondering, but after Zhi Yanye finished speaking, his frowning brows gradually relaxed.

From Orihino's words, he caught a sentence. 'This is obviously Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty testing our strength', since the other side is testing and we don't fight, what will they think?

I'm scared! After we are afraid, will the Mongols and the Great Song continue to act together? There are many benefits at sea. If we don't get involved, they can create a conflict, and then they get angry, and then it's profitable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo once again studied another sentence of Zhao Cheng, building an ironclad ship. It stands to reason that ironclad ships can never be built in three days or two days. There are also industrial transmitters, which will take at least a few years to appear.

At this time, to build an ironclad ship, is this Zhao Cheng ready to lie dormant for so long?

Now for the understanding of the sea, because of Li Jun in Siam, Zhao Shuo's fleet can enter the Indian Ocean. But after entering the Indian Ocean, what will happen, Zhao Shuo is not clear.

And the Great Song? It should only be known that Li Chao and Ma Yi and the Champa generation, and other places should not be clear.

As for Mongolia, I am afraid that only Japan knows, and as for other places, Mongolia, which has just established ports and ships, should not know at all. Japan should have known about it when their fleet went south.

Now there should be a crisis on the ocean, and we don't fight? Let them go and look for resources, and when they find them, we are strong and are grabbing them?

Zhao Cheng originally had this idea.

After some smoothing out, Zhao Shuo roughly understood what Zhao Cheng meant.

Zhao Cheng's plan was to make Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty think that Zhao Shuo was weak, and they would not dare to confront them and let them swell.

After the expansion, if the two sides can be combined, it is naturally the best. If they can't merge and still develop reasonably, let them go.

The combined naval forces of Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not be idle, and will definitely look around for territory that can be plundered, and Zhao Shuo's side is going all out to develop ironclad ships at this time.

A few years later, after Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty developed the surrounding islands, the powerful Zhao Cheng Navy went out in ironclad ships to occupy them directly.

Because of the ironclad ships, coupled with several years of development, Zhao Cheng's naval army will never be worse than the strength of Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty. It shouldn't be a problem to convince them.

Zhao Shuo shook his head, he was not satisfied with Zhao Cheng's strategy. After all, after a few years, there are too many variables.

You know, the westward expansion of Mongolia is definitely going to happen. Once the Mongols began to advance westward, Zhao Shuo was bound to compete with the Mongols on the road.

In other words, Zhao Shuo suddenly became an enemy of Mongolia. At this time, will Mongolia really just start a war with Zhao Shuo from the road?

The Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols sent people to ambush them, and Zhao Shuo's army retreated in Dengzhou and Laizhou and did not dare to go out. Will they be afraid of such a water army?

Since Zhao Shuo is weak, when Mongolia confronts Zhao Shuo on the road, there will never be peace on the sea.

What to do at that time? Even if it can be defended in a military port. But what about the construction of ironclad ships? It will definitely be delayed.

At that time, it was okay if the Great Song Dynasty spent the water army, but if the army followed along the road. The Mongols and the Great Song Dynasty attacked from the north and south, plus the naval army attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou Harbor. Zhao Shuo's situation is really in crisis.

"No, no!" Zhao Shuo shook his head repeatedly.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong." Zhang Chujiu saw that Zhao Shuo was silent for a long time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked anxiously.

"Tell Zhao Cheng that it's okay to build an ironclad ship, but it's not okay if you can't shrink back." Zhao Shuo made a decision. "Tell him to let the crew carry more firearms, and if they come across a ship without ships, they will beat me as a pirate."

"Yes!" Zhang Chujiu nodded, and planned to leave to deliver the news to Zhao Cheng.

"Chu Jiu, you wait a minute." Zhao Shuo stopped Zhang Chujiu, who was about to go out. "You can send another message to my uncle, saying that there have been a lot of pirates on the sea recently, so let his army be careful when they go to sea, don't be ambushed by pirates."

"Lord, do you want to say something about Mongolia too?" Zhang Chujiu saw that Zhao Shuo was going to remind his opponent, and he was worried that he would do something wrong, so he brought Mongolia out.

"Forget about Mongolia, on their side, whatever we do, they will not be affected, they still do what they should do." Zhao Shuo shook his head and vetoed Zhang Chujiu's question.

"Lord Wang, if there is nothing else, I will retire." Zhang Chujiu bowed and spoke.

Zhao Shuo knew that Zhang Chujiu was going to deliver the news to Zhao Cheng and Zhao Gou immediately, nodded and waved his hand. "Go ahead, remember to report something in time."

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" Zhe Yanye was confused about Zhao Shuo's arrangement, and finally asked after Zhang Chujiu left.

"I, what's going on?" Zhao Shuo looked at Ori Yanye with puzzled eyes.

"It's the order you just gave you, didn't you want Zhao Cheng to go to sea to attack those disguised Great Song and Mongolian ships? Then why do you have to tell Da Song. After asking, Orihiko added what he saw. Is it to divide them? ”

"It's divisive, but more importantly, I don't want to be my uncle." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"That uncle of yours is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. He has already attacked you, if you don't fight him, do you want to wait to be beaten by him? Orihiko was a little confused.

"If you don't make enemies of him, you don't necessarily have to be beaten by him." Zhao Shuo waved his hand and chuckled. "Also, in fact, to be precise, it's not that I don't want to be an enemy of my uncle, but I don't want to be an enemy of Da Song."

The more he listened, the more confused he became, he scratched his head and said with a depressed face. "Lord Wang, what are you talking about, the more I listen, the more confused I become."

"You're still young, you'll understand later." Zhao Shuo didn't explain, laughed and walked out of the living room.
