"Your Highness, even if you plan to go to the Pacific Ocean, I think it's better for you to bring some more warships with you on this trip. After all, Dongying connects the seas around the Ming Dynasty, and there are a lot of pirates. ”

In the face of Wang Shan's persuasion, Zhao Hongyu accepted it in the end.

After all, Wang Shan's starting point was also for his good, not to harm him.

As Wang Shan said, even if he takes the Pacific route, it is not so safe.

Dongying is now the territory of Li Xiang of Dahaidao, while Zheng Zhilong is entrenched in Haojing and joins forces with Portugal and Spaniards, and the two sides are fighting each other for hegemony on the southeast coast.

Therefore, if Zhao Hongyu goes to Japan, he will be in trouble.

After all, for the Daming pirates, there is no difference between Zhao Hongyu and them as fat sheep sent to the door.

Of course, if Zhao Hongyu had fought a few naval battles with them, those people would not have thought so.

But the problem is that as long as there is a war, there is danger, that's for sure.

In case Zhao Hongyu clicks his back, he will be killed with one shot......

No one can pat their chests and promise that such a thing will never happen.

So, it's a good idea to bring some more warships with you, so that the pirates don't dare to act rashly. And then you can have less trouble, right?

After figuring out this joint, Zhao Hongyu is no longer stubborn.

Bringing a little more people can also help him to be active in Daming.

"Wang Shan, you said that if I go to the Ming Dynasty, in what name will I contact the people of the Ming Dynasty? It wouldn't be good if they thought of us as a big vassal like Vietnam and Siam. ”

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and touched his chin and expressed his worries to Wang Shan.

Hearing this, Wang Shan shook his head and said, "No, Your Highness, as long as you insist on being a descendant of the Song Dynasty, it's fine." We are more upright than the Ming Dynasty, how can we be the same as a vassal state like Siam and Korea, we are reciprocal with the Ming Dynasty. Definitely not a vassal state. ”

Wang Shan's words were categorical.

"That's why I asked Your Highness to wait for something, and by the way, I brought a little more warships with me. When people see that there are many people on our warships, they won't think that we are small shrimps, right? ”

It turned out that Wang Shan still had this aspect of consideration.

Zhao Hongyu nodded silently and said, "Alas, now I think about these seamen, and I will wait until those warships are launched." How many warships are you going to let me go? ”

For this question, Zhao Hongyu is more or less curious.

"Two fleets, seventy-two battleships, three of which were heavy battleships. The remaining sixty-nine are converted Dutch-style frigates. Wang Shan replied.

Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment, and then said to Wang Shan: "Isn't more than seventy warships a bit much, and we are not going to fight." ”

However, after saying this, Zhao Hongyu immediately thought of the words that Wang Shan said before.

The number of warships also shows that their national strength is strong, and those officials of the Ming Dynasty in the province underestimate themselves.

When the time comes, it will be worth the loss to underestimate yourself as a small country like North Korea and Siam.

So, think of this. Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and patted his forehead.

"Oops, I'm such a pig brain, I forgot the reason you just said."

After speaking, Zhao Hongyu smiled at Wang Shan embarrassedly.

Wang Shan didn't care. After responding to Zhao Hongyu, he said: "Actually, there are other reasons to bring more warships, but it is not just to show our strength." ”

Zhao Hongyu became interested when he heard this.

"Oh, tell me anything else. It also gave me a bottom in my heart. ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was so interested, Wang Shan continued to speak.

"Your Highness, the internal and external troubles on the side of the Ming Dynasty are not peaceful now. The Qing Dynasty has risen, and this has to be guarded against. Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously. I'm afraid that His Highness will bring fewer people, and if he fights with the Qing soldiers on a whim, he won't be without help. ”

Wang Shan's words made Zhao Hongyu stunned.

Yes, I went to the Ming Empire in the East, and I had to see the power of my Qing Dynasty, who boasted of invincibility in later generations, so it was really dangerous to bring fewer soldiers.

Therefore, it is easy to understand that the more warships there are, the more soldiers they bring.

"Your kid is really thoughtful, I don't have anything to say."

Zhao Hongyu did not deny Wang Shan's speculation.

Wang Shan smiled and continued: "And if you take the Pacific route, you will definitely have to pass through Japan, Your Highness, haven't you thought about taking Japan?" When he said this, Wang Shan stretched out his right hand and shook it with five fingers!

Zhao Hongyu still understands what Wang Shan means.

"Later generations of whites used a few warships to let Japan trade. We can't let this happen again, so we can get Japan first, because there's a lot of gold and silver over there, isn't it? ”

Wang Shan now had a lewd smile on his face.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "You are right, we can indeed plan for Japan in this era, which is okay." The Japanese can't eat enough now, as long as we can conquer them with food, then I think the Japanese can still bring us a little benefit. ”

Zhao Hongyu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what kind of bad idea Lu Dao had come up with.

But no matter what kind of bad idea it is, it won't make the Japanese feel better anyway.

"Your Highness, although the Japanese are rubbish, the Japanese low-level samurai of this era are still very valuable. Once they identify their masters, they will follow them to death, and I think we can gather a group of Japanese samurai. ”

Wang Shan suggested.

Zhao Hongyu didn't say anything, to be honest, he used the Japanese, and he himself still had cautious reservations.

After all, the Japanese had just experienced the Warring States period, and it was an era in which the lower grams appeared frequently.

Therefore, on the issue of the user himself, Zhao Hongyu did not dare to be careless.

"Wang Shan, have you forgotten that the Japanese have a tradition of going down to the gram?"

Zhao Hongyu pondered for a long time, and finally said to Wang Shandao.

Wang Shan smiled and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but so what." You don't need so many Japanese, you just need to gather a dozen or even dozens of samurai. Use them to manage other Japanese people. ”

Zhao Hongyu's heart moved.

In fact, he fully understood Wang Shan's plan, and knew that Wang Shan let himself conquer Japan and bring Japan under the control of the empire.

"Let's talk about it then, it's a little early for us to talk about this, and besides, our territory is already so big that we ourselves are already indigestion. Therefore, we are greedily conquering Japan, and you are not afraid that there will be problems. ”

After Zhao Hongyu thought about it, he said to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan was stunned when he heard this.

Then he thought that the current situation of the empire was indeed like this, and he patronized the attitude of an angry youth to make suggestions to His Highness, but he forgot that the empire had begun to 'indigestion' now.

Therefore. Wang Shan smiled bitterly: "Damn, can I just let Japan go like this, I feel uncomfortable." ”

As an angry young man, when he knew that Zhao Hongyu was going to the East, he had already begun to plan this plan in his heart.

"We can't control Japan, but it's not easy to make Japan chaotic." After Zhao Hongyu saw Wang Shan's disappointed face, he said to him with a smile.

Wang Shan heard Zhao Hongyu say this. It was a shock to the body.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Who is the shogun on the Japanese side now?"

Zhao Hongyu asked.

Although he vaguely knew some of the history of the Dao, it was impossible to know the Dao in such detail.

He only knew that in 1622, it seemed that Japan had just ended the Warring States period, but now it is a little vague whether Tokugawa is in power or Toyotomi is in power.

After all, he's not a humanoid computer. It is impossible to understand the history in such detail.

"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Tokugawa Hidetada, but he's almost finished. I've heard Professor Liu talk to me. It looks like this guy is going to die next year. ”

After getting the answer, Zhao Hongyu had a plan in his heart.

"This Professor Liu's history is good, and he still knows these things."

Zhao Hongyu nodded and said to Wang Shan with a smile.

"Old man. When I'm not working, I like to study these histories. ”

Wang Shan also replied with a smile.

"The Tokugawa shogunate has nothing to do with it, and although it is about to reach the third generation, I think there will be people who will disobey him, right?"

Zhao Hongyu laughed yin.

Wang Shan also chimed in: "Yes, as long as there are interests in this world, then there must be conflicts. It's just that the Tokugawa family was lucky, and he eventually became a shogun. If Your Highness, you can rekindle the war in Japan and add some small support, then Japan will eventually return to the Warring States period. ”

Regarding the endless turmoil and war in Japan, both Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu want to see it.

After all, they don't have a good impression of Japan in their hearts.

Of course, the samurai who were willing to sacrifice their loyalty and their lives were a different story.

What else is there in this world that can be used by the Billies to oppress Japan with the Japanese?

Especially using the Japanese to be your own dogleg and gold medal fighter.

It's comfortable to think about.

"Don't worry, kid, I will definitely fulfill your wish and provoke the war in Japan. Because of a turbulent Japan, it is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty and us, isn't it? ”

Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.

Wang Shan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if we have any interests, but there must be for the Ming Dynasty." But by doing so, wouldn't we help the Ming Dynasty? ”

It could be seen from Wang Shan's face that he seemed to be a little unhappy that Da Ming might take advantage.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan: "Don't be so stingy, no matter what, the people on the side of the Ming Dynasty are all Chinese." In the end, we didn't let other races take advantage of us. ”

In the end, Zhao Hongyu persuaded Wang Shan.

However, Wang Shan's careful eye also gave Zhao Hongyu a glimpse -

Dividing Line –

Port of Marseille, France.

More than a dozen double-decked, three-pole warships flying the French flag, the decks were already full of sailors.

The sailors kept pulling the ropes in their hands to raise the big sails.

A group of Royal Guard musketeers stepped onto the deck from the dock and boarded the ship.

On the docks, little Louis XIII, dressed in military uniform, was talking to a Chinese descendant with black hair and black eyes.

The young man of Chinese descent who looked to be less than twenty-five years old had a good conversation with little Louis XIII, talking and laughing.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I wish you a smooth trip, and I wish you a pleasant time in the Americas."

"Colonel Sun, thank you for your kindness."

Louis XIII Jr. thanked him in an awkward Chinese language.

The young man, whom Louis XIII Jr. called Colonel Sun, was the administrator of the Song Empire Concession in the Americas, which was under construction on the outskirts of Port Marseille.

Because of some agreements in Zhao Hongyu's early stage, the concession has now been opened to France.

For Europeans of this era, the concessions of the Song Empire in the Americas represented wealth and status.

The concession in Lisbane brought prosperity and excitement that other countries also wanted to have.

What's more, there are many goods in the concession that can be specially represented, and the price of these goods is more cost-effective than importing from the Americas.

And those goods in the concession also brought a lot of tax revenue to the country to which they belonged.

Therefore, at the strong request of the French, the concession was opened to France.

The concession in Lisbon has created a lot of rich people, so the French are also red-eyed.

This time, Louis XIII Jr. was heading to the American continent, so he must have to say hello to the concession side first.

Therefore, after receiving the news, the concession immediately began to prepare to send people back to the Americas with little Louis.

After all, Louis XIII Jr. was in the Americas, and he also needed someone from the imperial side to be his guide.

Otherwise, his eyes would be black.

In this way, Colonel Sun took the selected genetic man and sent him to the docks to accompany Louis XIII on his journey to the Americas.

And the strange Mandarin of Louis XIII Jr. was learned here in the concession.

New Oriental Language School, which is a school in Europe that belongs to the American Concession.

The main teaching is the Chinese Mandarin in the Americas.

The same group we are dealing with are those who want to go to the Americas to work and businessmen.

Because he was going to the Americas, little Louis XIII also came to New Oriental to study in a hurry.

Although he is very smart, because the study time is too short, he can say a few words of everyday language, but the taste is really obedient.

"Your Highness should be careful about the recent appearance of British ships in the waters at the entrance to the Mediterranean."

After sending Louis XIII Jr. to the ship, the Colonel Sun told Louis XIII Jr. about what he had.

"Thanks for the reminder."

Louis XIII Jr. thanked him, but at the same time his heart was muttering.

These damned Englishmen, he hasn't said anything about church union, but he's already started to do it himself.

The British appeared in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea estuary, which Colonel Sun said, was actually telling him that the British had begun to act.

And what is behind such an action, little Louis XIII also knows with his ass.

It's nothing more than another privateer certificate......
