Chapter 1880: To Each According to His Needs
The arms trade has always been one of the most lucrative projects in Haihan's commodity export field, and as a large buyer with financial resources, Daming's economic strength is obviously far greater than that of Haihan's other sales partners. Although the financial revenue level of the Ming Dynasty is relatively limited, it still has strong purchasing power from the national level, otherwise it would not be possible for a local warlord like Xu Xinsu to create a strong army with the help of one place.
The coastal states and provinces of the Ming Dynasty have garrisons in guards, and now that the country is in internal and external troubles, many military attachés with military power in their hands have begun to think about it. Some people want to follow Xu Xinsu's successful model, use the sea trade to accumulate wealth, and then buy the Haihan weapons to arm the troops under their jurisdiction; some people resell some of the weapons they bought from the Haihan to the Ministry of War to pave the way for their own careers; and some people simply want to hold the thigh of the Haihan, after all, some time ago, even the North Korea, which was about to be destroyed, was rescued by the Haihan people, and there is no need to worry about their future way out by cooperating with them.
But there is one thing that almost everyone thinks in unison, that is, to have a good relationship with Haihan. Whether to buy the weapons provided by Haihan, how to buy them, how much to buy, and how to use them after buying them are actually secondary issues, and the key is to maintain a subtle tacit understanding with Haihan by means of arms transactions.
For these generals, who were more well-informed than the imperial court, they knew very well that in addition to trading, the Haihan was also a very warlike country, and although the Ming had signed a peace agreement with it, it might not be able to stop the ambitions of the Haihan people. If the two countries are at war, they will be the first to bear the brunt, and the actual combat effectiveness of the Haihan army is much clearer than those high-ranking officials in the court who can only look at the twists and turns and give orders on assumptions.
Through a series of displays of force in Zhejiang in the past two years, these people have already seen that if there is a conflict between the two countries, the situation of the coastal garrisons in Zhejiang will be very embarrassing, and they will definitely not be able to defeat the Haihan army, and the best way to protect themselves is to try their best to maintain peace. Moreover, the Haihan people are not so difficult to deal with, as long as the trade door is opened, any conditions can be negotiated slowly, and the business is done first, and the possibility of the Haihan invasion of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be greatly reduced.
However, Li came to Zhoushan for a short time, and he was not clear about the entanglement of interests in the middle, and in his opinion, the arms trade between the two countries seemed to be a great advantage for the Haihan Dynasty, and some third-rate goods were exchanged for real money and silver of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, both sides took what they needed for their own purposes.
