Chapter 343: Li Kang's Confidence
Yue Fei almost burst out laughing, this Sang Hongyang is even more ruthless, and he doesn't even want to keep the Second Fleet under construction, and as for the matter of armed merchant ships mentioned by Kaifeng, he directly ignores it.
The smile on Kaifeng's face instantly froze, and he couldn't wait to kill Sang Hongyang with one shot.
For Sang Hongyang, he doesn't have a good impression of the army and navy, he knows how to ask for money all day long, especially the navy, the fart effect is not half of it, and he spends money and thieves, who do you cut if you don't cut it?
"The minister agrees with Sang Shangshu's opinion!" said the chief cabinet officer, the chief of the internal affairs, and the Shangzhu State Administrator.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
......
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Yue Fei smiled and raised a hand.
Li Kang was silent for a while, and then looked at him with a blank eye, and now the only one who can turn the tables is Li Kang.
Li Kang is also reluctant to let go of his dream of a big navy, but unfortunately, in this matter, he is not good at being arbitrary, there is no need.
"Abolish the establishment of the Second Fleet, change the Strait Fleet, transfer the former Admiral of the Second Fleet Deng Zilong to the Admiral of the Strait Fleet, immediately reorganize, and urge all shipyards to deliver the warships ordered by the original Second Fleet as soon as possible, and when the next caravan sails, all the troops will escort the fleet and sail to the Kuril Strait. Now that he has made a decision in his heart, Li Kang no longer hesitated and ordered directly, but he still won some benefits for the Strait Fleet in the order, which can be regarded as a little selfishness.
"No!"
"No," Kaifeng replied reluctantly.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, I don't know where the Strait Fleet is stationed?" Qi Jiguang, chief of staff and major general, got up and asked.
Li Kang turned his gaze to Zhang Qian's five people, especially Chi Jin, the deputy captain of the pathfinder team and the navy captain in charge of military affairs, and asked: "Do you think that the 800-mile thousand-island strait is the most suitable place to be used as a naval base?
The five of them were stunned at the same time, they all thought that their task had been completed, and the next thing was to play soy sauce, and the king didn't let them go out in their opinion, just an honor given by their merits, but they didn't expect this kind of big event, the king would ask them directly.
The five of them made eye contact with each other, and the relatively most professional Chi Jin answered.
"Your Majesty, within a hundred miles around Dingyuanjiao, there is only one place that can be used as a military port, and in the entire Kuril Strait, along the way, I have found no less than ten places that can be used as a military port... The ability to humble himself is limited, and he can't distinguish the specific advantages and disadvantages for the time being, and he still hopes that the king will atone for his sins!"
"It's much better to tell the truth than to brag nonsense..."Li Kang smiled, waved his hand to sit down, and said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I haven't personally measured and investigated, it's hard to say now, but I believe that Captain Chi still has a naval vision, well, the strait fleet will temporarily use the natural port near Dingyuan Corner as the home port, but don't be busy with the construction of the home port for the time being, and make the final decision after the field investigation." ”
"The gentleman is wise!" Qi Jiguang didn't say anything, and sat straight back.
After Qi Jiguang sat back, the meeting continued.
"Sending troops is only the first step, Your Majesty, next, we need to establish a trading station on the Storm Sea Islands and even on the mainland, so that we can better accumulate materials and gather intelligence and make overall arrangements, and finally we may be able to seek the right to station a resident envoy. Yang Pingwei, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Shangzhu State, said.
"Merchant station?" said the chief of defense, Zhu Guo Bi Mao Kang, "Is it possible to directly acquire the concession?"
Yang Pingwei's eyes were also bright, and he said excitedly: "Yes, if you can directly obtain a piece of concession land, it will naturally be the best, and it is very operational." For the nobles of Hedong, a piece of barren land in exchange for visible white flowers of silver, I believe they will be very happy. What's even more wonderful is that the Hedong countries still practice the ancient feudal system, and the major nobles all have their own substantive fiefs, and within the fiefdoms, these nobles have completely independent political power, military power, financial power, diplomatic power, and even part of the legal power, even if the central court of each country does not agree, it is guaranteed that the nobles who are interested in profit will reach an agreement with us in private! And we just need them not to make trouble at the beginning, once three or five years pass, then they will not be able to help them!"
"Hehe, why is Yang Shangshu so angry!" Xu Guangqi, the chief minister of industry and commerce and Shangzhuguo, said with a smile, "My generation of scholars, Si Swenwen, needs to convince people with virtue and treat people with courtesy." If people are willing to set aside a concession for us, they are our friends, so how can they shout and kill with revenge? I think it would be very good to lead them to achieve common prosperity! I believe that the nobles who are on the side of the feudal town are all educated, and they know who to be friends with is the most suitable for their status and status. ”
"Xu Shangshu is the words of the old man to seek the country, and Pingwei has been taught. "It's not that Yang Pingwei didn't expect the bundle of interests, but he was just excited for a while, "As Xu Shangshu said, I think it may be more in our interests to take the initiative to avoid the central governments of various countries and directly find the nobles whose fiefs are on the coast, and it is also more convenient to support the pro-Huaxia faction." ”
"But!" Li Kang nodded in agreement, as for the specific operation, that is something that needs to be considered later.
"Your Majesty, now we need to speed up the production of military supplies, Lin Guo can't wait too long..."At this time, Yue Fei said.
"Hmm..."This is indeed a problem, not only the military supplies, but also the sea ships for transportation, without enough sea ships, no amount of military supplies can be transported, with sea ships, there must be a correspondingly large enough crew...
Li Kang felt that his brain was hurting, but these had to be solved, and after thinking about it, he said: "Let Changping and Fuxi escort the gold in the second half of the year in advance." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all knew that Li Kang was going to use "immortal art".
Li Kang is also helpless, in recent years, he has minimized the use of the system, and even has not used it for a long time, not that Li Kang is hypocritical or pretending to be high, and he doesn't need to have a golden finger, of course, it is not that Li Kang has persecution paranoia, thinking about conspiracy theories all day long, but because the system can only provide unlocked items and technologies, and what is unlocked depends on luck, not what you want can be exchanged for something, some urgently needed or extremely useful technology, if you want to try your luck to unlock the system, it is better to study it yourself quickly, and it is practical。
Therefore, the position of the system in Li Kang's mind has gradually changed from a dependent object to an emergency tool, just like now, the production capacity cannot keep up, so it will rely on the system to copy, and this great god is not usually used at all.
However, it is precisely because there is such a "first aid kit" in the system, for the current situation of food shortage in China, Li Kang will not be in a hurry at all, Li Kang, who sits on a golden river and a golden mountain, does not have the problem of food shortage at all, only the question of whether it is necessary or not, whether it is worth it.
