Chapter 214: Go through the back door

After giving a warm reception to everyone at the Peninsula Hotel, He Yu took his leave, and although he knew that someone would come looking for him in the evening, he could not stay here any longer.

With He Yu's farewell, people from all walks of life began to act, among which Zheng Sen was the most active, in fact, he really just wanted to discuss with He Yu about the live exercise not long ago.

He had a few thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to explain to He Yu, but this time the matter was also very important, so he didn't ask immediately when he met.

"General He, I want to hear your truth, whether this weapon can be sold," Zheng Sen still had that standard serious face, as if He Yu had never seen him smile since he saw him.

"Zheng Gongzi is here for this, drink tea, let's talk slowly, then you tell me first, whether the Zheng family wants this batch of arms, how they will use it, and whether they plan to form an army that uses firearms completely."

Two questions in a row, Zheng Sen's face showed a complicated expression, from the bottom of their hearts, the Zheng family needed it, and they didn't want this batch of weapons to fall into the hands of the Japanese shogunate from several aspects.

But whether the Australians will sell it to them is a question, after all, there has been a lot of friction between the two sides.

"Yes, yes." Will General Ho sell. Zheng Sen answered honestly and simply without concealment, which may be one of his points, so most people in the traversal believe that he is the most suitable person to be supported as a new warlord.

Unlike other officials of the Ming Dynasty, who are greedy for money and ignore the danger of the country and the nation, this is the difference between heroes and ordinary ministers.

"If it is handed over to Childe, can Childe train a team that can match the Australian Army?" He Yu continued to ask, still not answering his question.

Zheng Sen, who had seen the training of the Australian Army, believed that all the units that use firearms alone should be formed together and separately, rather than in other units.

However, Zheng Zhilong's idea was just the opposite of him, thinking that although Huo Gongbi was sharp, it could not withstand the big sword bow and arrow when it rained, and it was better to exist as a vassal.

Now if you want him to say, he can't guarantee it, after all, the Zheng family is not his family, and he doesn't have so much power.

"Zheng can't guarantee it, but if it is assigned by me, I will form a new fire unit according to the formation of the Australian Army, so that they are completely different from other soldiers."

It can be heard from inside and outside the words that Zheng Sen's helplessness is just because he is not a decision-maker, so his ideas may not necessarily be realized.

At the same time, he himself wondered why Australians were asking himself such a question, whether it was really something else.

"If Zheng Gongzi talks about the relationship, your Zheng family and my Australian country are partners, and this batch of arms gifts should be given to you, but it may not be able to play the greatest role in the hands of the Zheng family, so I think it is better to leave this batch of arms to others."

"How can this work, my Zheng family does need this batch of arms, didn't General He also say that we are partners, and we should deepen cooperation, right, the Ming Dynasty is now in full need of this batch of weapons, and please ask the general to see the same ancestors and the same ancestor."

Zheng Sen's opposition is expected in He Yu, in fact, there is no domestic regulation on who this batch of arms is sold to, but there are still many military people who are more inclined to give the Zheng family, in the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's imminent entry into the customs, the momentum is like a bamboo, if the Zheng family can have a hot weapon unit against the Manchu Qing at this critical time, it is good, and it can also buy more time for Australia to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Gongzi knows that Australia has always respected the sovereignty of other countries and does not interfere in their internal affairs, and if I sell you these weapons, I am afraid it will not be good to attract the tongue of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

If Australia does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, it will be a really big joke, in Southeast Asia, who does not know that Australia likes to intervene wherever there is a population of the same race, I heard that there has been a move on Manila recently.

Now that he said such a thing, Zheng Sen believes that it is strange, in his opinion, the Australian old man definitely has other plans.

So did General Ho really want to sell this batch of arms to the shogunate?

"The shogunate, not necessarily, now it seems that both the Spaniards and the Portuguese want it, so it is not clear to whom it will be sold in the end, whether Zheng Gongzi really wants it."

He Yu suddenly came out with such a sentence, so that Zheng Sen didn't know what it meant, and looked at him a little strangely.

There are about 300 rifles in this batch of weapons, and for the sake of friendship with Childe, I can deduct dozens of them to evenly distribute them to you.

Dozens of new-style Australian firecrackers, although not much, but it was definitely an unexpected surprise for Zheng Sen, although Zheng Zhilong did not agree with him to completely form an army that all used firearms, but it was still possible to form a team of dozens or hundreds of people.

As early as a few months ago, Zheng Sen gave his subordinates the dozen rifles given to him by Australia to form a firearm squad, and it would be different if there were dozens of rifles now.

He still understands the truth of accumulating a lot, in fact, for the Zheng family, as long as this batch of weapons is not sold to the shogunate, it is not a big problem to sell them to the Dutch or the Spaniards, and if they are sold to the shogunate, they must buy them at a high price, and they must not let the shogunate have such sharp firearms in their hands, otherwise this will definitely be their nightmare.

"Thank you so much for this truth, I thank you on behalf of the Zheng family, but I still hope that you can consider selling them all to the Zheng family, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

"I'll consider your suggestion, now let's talk about the issues you are interested in, I think you must have a lot of questions in your mind that you want to get an explanation from me, now we can discuss and discuss." He Yu interrupted the other party's continued conversation about buying weapons, and instead led the conversation to the tactical issue that the other party wanted to know.

Judging from the last confrontation drill, He Yu expected that the other party must have a lot of questions that he hadn't figured out, and now that he has such an opportunity, he will definitely come to find answers.

Sure enough, as soon as He Yu raised it, Zheng Sen gushed out a few tactical questions in his heart, completely forgetting what the main purpose of this visit was, but it can't be said that he completely forgot that at least he made some efforts at the beginning, and now it is certain that the weapons of the Australians will not necessarily be sold to Japan, so there is no need to worry too much, or solve the doubts in his heart first.
