Chapter 200: How to Retaliate
The main courtyard of Hushan, the official room to the west of the library.
Seeing that Ye Liangchen fell into silence for a long time, Zhu Daolin smiled slightly, picked up the draft agreement in front of Ye Liangchen, and flipped through it casually.
The original of the agreement stamped with the counterfeit Great Seal of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing and the Great Seal of the Governor's Office of the Philippines in Spain has been hidden by Zhu Daolin in the secret room at his feet.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Liangchen finally mustered up the courage and stared into Zhu Daolin's eyes without fear: "Don't you want to deceive me...... Everything that the adults have done is definitely not for the sake of today's saints, otherwise, with the wealth and military talents of the world, the adults will not ignore the war-torn north, but stay in Jinling to accumulate money in an orderly manner, and strengthen their power step by step! ”
"I thought that the reason why the adults donated copper, artillery and money to the emperor again and again, invested huge energy and financial resources to rebuild the Nanjing Firearms Factory, rebuilt the Jiangnan Navy Division for the Ming Dynasty, and recruited tens of thousands of troops for the Nanjing Governor's Mansion was to gain the support of the nobles and the people in Jiangnan."
"One sentence can be summed up: Daming is crumbling, and adults are ambitious!"
Zhu Daolin's pupils contracted suddenly, and he admired the crippled eunuch in front of him in his heart, but his tone of voice became indifferent:
"Master Ye has won the award! I don't have that much ambition, nor do I have the military talent praised by Master Ye, my greatest ability is to do business, and my biggest purpose is to live a peaceful and stable life. ”
"As the saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and it's not much fun for me to get rich by myself, and it's more enjoyable for me to benefit from the parents and villagers around me...... But whoever violates my interests I will clean them up, that's all! ”
"That's all?" Ye Liangchen asked with a smile.
"That's all!"
Zhu Daolin replied very seriously.
Ye Liangchen held on to the table and slowly stood up: "Okay, I believe it, but I hope that the adults will allow me to walk around the Ziyang Martial Arts Hall every day." ”
Zhu Daolin looked at him suspiciously: "Why?" ”
Ye Liangchen put away his smile and replied solemnly: "Because I saw the future of the Ming Dynasty from those hundreds of children who had been trained for less than three months. ”
Zhu Daolin hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ye Liangchen back to his seat: "Okay!" You can go wherever you want, no one in the entire Hushan Manor dares to stop you, but don't learn the bad habits of those shameless literati, the big fart is said to be earth-shattering, just a thousand-pound cannon, shooting out a few pounds of iron eggs, flying out not five hundred steps away, they said that it was ten miles of erosion, killing countless enemies, and countless unjust, false and wrongful cases are probably made out in this way, right? ”
"Come on, come on, sit down first, let's not talk about the useless, only the ...... in front of us I also ask Master Ye to give me an idea, how to deal with the Wang family who dare to hire someone to assassinate me? If I don't give him a few slaps back, I feel really uncomfortable! ”
Ye Liangchen, who was pressed into the leather chair, couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that Zhu Daolin was pretending to be a stupid scoundrel, but he was embarrassed to poke his face, so he had no choice but to continue to chat with Zhu Daolin: "Actually, you already have an idea in your heart, you don't need to ask me anymore." ”
Zhu Daolin smiled, returned to his seat, and asked in a low voice: "If I don't retaliate immediately, I can only wait until five months later, but in this way, will the opponent be more proud?" ”
Ye Liangchen shook his head again: "Do you think Gonggong Wu and Guogong Wei are vegetarians?" They joined forces to stir up such a stir inside and outside Jinling, and the opponent may not be able to eat......"
"No matter how powerful the door valve of the Southeast family is, it can't stand a few such tosses, not to mention anything else, just in terms of business, the revenge launched by Gonggong Wu and Guogong Wei can make the Southeast Haoqiang lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the Wang family of Yangzhou who was pushed out by them to be a villain is even more panicked, and the Cao Gang, who don't know whether they are alive or dead, may have already been scattered!"
"So, even if you don't retaliate, the goal has been achieved, why not hurry up and build your most troublesome sailor? As long as the sailor has an eyebrow and an army in his hand, the means of revenge will be gone, so why rush? ”
Zhu Daolin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Okay!" I will listen to you, as soon as possible, the ships sold to me will be refitted, and the officers and men under my command will study and train diligently under the leadership of more than 100 Franc machine instructors, and strive to become an army in half a year, and at the same time, I will personally train the strong army of five firearms battalions, and then the gunpowder manufacturing and artillery casting of the firearms factory should also produce results. ”
Ye Liangchen smiled with satisfaction: "Actually, you don't have to stay still all day in the past half a year, when your sailors are almost trained, you can unite Wei Guogong's warships to go around the mouth of the Yangtze River, and seize all the smuggling ships in the name of fighting bandits, otherwise why would you take out so much silver from your pockets to help them build an army?" ”
Zhu Daolin laughed: "Good plan!" It can not only hurt the southeast Haoqiang, but also disrupt the entire market controlled in the hands of the Jiangnan family, and also train the rookie officers and soldiers of our Shangyuan Water Division, killing multiple birds with one stone, good! ”
