Chapter 389: Sell the Ship A brand new ship

writing

At this result, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at the description of these people is similar to the world war, the Dutch and the British ganged up in Europe respectively, and the Ming and Qing also used their influence to fight a decisive battle in Asia, how similar is it to the world war in history, but, who is the axis of evil, or who is the allies?

But this doesn't matter, what is called the axis of evil, the axis of evil is the villain, that is, the executioner who exterminates humanity, even if the Manchus and the Dutch are not, the propaganda of public opinion must make him be. Chinese Network @ Overdrive Update Latest Chapter Zhu Jun was confused for a while and didn't know how to deal with it, an arms trade turned into the fuse of a world war through the butterfly effect, which Zhu Jun never expected, let alone be on guard.

"Your Majesty, Britain urgently needs the help of the Ming fleet." The envoy of the country is still Jason, this time he pleaded with a bitter face, completely deprived of his well-dressed gentlemanly demeanor, a naval battle wiped out the British fleet, the entire British sea was blocked by the Dutch, and some much-needed trade had to be transported by pirates.

"The northern coast of France was also attacked by the Dutch, and Austria and some of the German Confederation gathered 70,000 men on the eastern border, and Your Majesty ......"

"Spain's naval power has been exhausted, and the Portuguese are now harassing the coast."

In the face of bitter faces, only the envoys of the Kingdom of Sardinia were calm, because they were located on the southern islands of Italy, and they were not threatened by the enemy for the time being.

Zhu Jun knew that if he couldn't take Shi, this group of guys holding the thighs of the Ming Dynasty would probably immediately fall to the Netherlands, and the closer the Netherlands and the Manchu Qing Dynasty became, it was equivalent to pushing the whole of Europe towards the Manchus, so the war in Europe was almost equal to the competition between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing in Europe.

had to be saved, and he could go all out to fight hard for these small countries, Zhu Jun was really nerve-wracking, and with a face full of hope, Zhu Jun said to the attendants beside him: "Go, call Yang Side." ”

The chamberlain knew that the matter was very important, so he did not put it down, and even went to the cabinet to call someone.

Half an hour later, Yang Side stepped in, and without waiting to salute, Zhu Jun asked with a face: "How many warships have been produced in the Daming dock now?" ”

It's been half a year since the Europeans placed their orders. Although the countries have made deposits. But because of the war. I didn't come to pick up the goods. The Damingdi Dockyard is only concerned with frantically building warships. Therefore, there is a lot of ground in the dock. Yang Side hurriedly said: "There are eighty-seven big ships. There are also a number of supply ships and medium-sized large ships. ”

Zhu Jun ordered: "Let the craftsmen rush to work day and night these days." How much can be driven out. ”

Then he turned to the envoys and said, "A hundred warships have been built in the dockyard of the Terrain. Enough to build a new land fleet. It's just that countries want to rearm. You need to send your own sailors and sailors to receive it. If there are not enough people. I can send a strong army to hire for the country. As for the ship's fare. For the time being, I'll owe it first. ”

The four envoys were depressed again. At best, most of the sailors and sailors were either killed or taken prisoner. And the Dutch blocked the sea. Where can someone be sent to receive it. Or the French have a way: "We can go back to our country and recruit pirates." Let the pirates break out of the blockade. Let them come and receive the new ship. Take care of some sailors and sailors of the Ming Kingdom. It should be enough. ”

The rest of the lands immediately came interested. Especially the British. Britain suffered the heaviest losses in naval battles. And it's an island nation. Dutch battleships blockaded for a day. The losses speak for themselves.

A solution was found. The four envoys bid farewell to Zhu Jun. When I returned to the Pavilion of Nations, we began to discuss again. It's a good idea to recruit pirates to pick up ships. The pirate lands are experienced. The battle is also very brave. And the pirates in the middle of the four countries are not a few. There are dozens or hundreds of people in almost every port city. After all, piracy is a legitimate business in Europe. Many have worked in this industry at one time or another. Just give a conscription order. After a simple training, they can become qualified sailors. It's just that the Dutch blockaded the coast. If you want to break out of the encirclement. Receive battleships. It needs to be thought through.

After two days, the four envoys finally reached an agreement, their idea was to first let all the pirates take advantage of the darkness to take the pirate ship or merchant ship to break out first, and then meet in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Sardinia is located in southern Europe, is one of the largest islands in the Mediterranean, the Netherlands and other countries do not have strong influence here, and did not send a fleet to blockade the Kingdom of Sardinia, as long as the pirates arrive in Sardinia, even if it is safe, here, the pirates can gather together for training, on the other side, As soon as the warships meet with the Sardinian pirates, the alliance will have a naval strength that can be warned, although it cannot overwhelm the Dutch allied fleet, but it is more than enough to protect the coastline.

After the envoys agreed, they met with Zhu Jun again, and Zhu Jun felt that this method was the way to listen to the opinions of the four people

On the surface, this plan is perfect, but it is naturally difficult to predict the difficulties of letting the pirates get rid of the Dutch army and rush out of the coastline, in addition, if you want the plan to succeed, you must coordinate with all countries, otherwise it will inevitably fall short, but this is also no way, Zhu Jun has no intention of sending sailors to Europe to fight, and it is good to send some sailors to advisers and mercenaries appropriately, after all, Europe is thousands of miles away, and the risk of sending sailors is extremely high, and the Ming sailors can defeat the Dutch in the South Seas, When I arrived in Europe, I was afraid that I would only be beaten by the Dutch, which was the geographical factor.

Once the Daming Sailor is defeated in Europe and the myth of the Ming in the eyes of the Anti-Dutch Alliance is shattered, who will have the confidence to fight? Therefore, as long as the Ming Dynasty still maintains support for the anti-Dutch alliance, remote control is the safest way.

Zhu Jun expressed his support for this plan, and specially took four ambassadors to visit the docks of the Ming Dynasty, which now have more than 40 docks, and on the other side of the bay, there are many docks that are breaking ground.

The ambassadors were originally worried, but when they saw such a large-scale dock, they felt full of confidence, according to the production capacity of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be a problem to form a huge fleet in half a year, with these continuous supports, as long as the countries continued to train sailors, it was like a cheat in the game, no matter how they fought, they could not be killed, as long as they survived until the war was won, the robbers could go to the Netherlands, Portugal, these rich countries to plunder, and at that time, all the capital was back.

Zhu Jun heroically pointed to the docks that stretched to the end of his sight, and encouraged the envoys: "I can build as many warships as the country wants, and no matter how many warships the Dutch have, if it continues to be consumed for a long time, it will be defeated sooner or later." ”

The ambassadors agreed one after another, knowing that this was a protracted war, but also having the confidence that they would win, and now they were mired in the quagmire of war, and if they wanted to turn the book around, they could only fight to the death and take the losses from the enemy.

Following.

More than 80 new ships full of artillery and supplies, more than 20 medium-sized warships and more than 50 supply ships officially went to sea, the military port last week Mu Bai opened his tired eyes and constantly reviewed the accounts, the big warships, artillery, and supplies, these must be counted, the total amount is 5.5 million taels, the four envoys respectively on behalf of the country to draw a charge, which is regarded as the arrears of the four countries to the Ming Dynasty, in addition, there are 5,000 sailors hired to the four countries, these high salaries are also paid by the four countries, Zhou Mubai looked at the bill, and couldn't help but feel a little painful, Throughout the ages, there has never been a matter of paying accounts to other countries, if people do not repay their debts, and these Xiyi are thousands of miles away, how to ask for it?

The four envoys boarded the ship with great interest, standing on the side of the ship and waving goodbye to Zhou Mubai, Zhou Mubai pretended not to see, this time he was ordered to send these envoys, so that he was very uncomfortable, when the fleet began to anchor and sail, a hundred large and small warships slowly sailed out of the military port, Zhou Mubai only blackened his face and let the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Rites go home, a few months ago he inspected the Jiangnan and southwestern provinces, and the construction of the opening area has its own importance, such as the opening area in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely lively, although it has only been built for a year, but there are many businessmen, All of a sudden, a continuous workshop was built, and although the opening area of the southwest provinces was built early, there was still not much improvement, which was also determined by geography, Zhou Mubai is a clever woman without rice is really unable to do it, can only cry out in vain, back to Haidu, the emperor saw that he had lost too much weight recently, so he gave him some vacation to rest, Zhou Mubai is now an idle person, and he still runs to the opening area of Haidu every day, and now he has received such a messenger, which really makes him depressed.

Waiting for the port, there was already a carriage waiting here on the side of the road, Zhou Mubai said goodbye to several officials of the Ministry of Rites, and was about to help him get on the car, but a person riding a fast horse came in the distance. Zhou Mubai couldn't help but raise his eyes and take a look, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, in broad daylight, there were still people on the bustling street who dared to ride a fast horse, what kind of person is this, he didn't even obey the law, this didn't matter, at a glance, Zhou Mubai couldn't help but stop getting into the car, and while helping his family, he couldn't help but sigh.

The person on the horse was getting closer and closer, and the person who came was a little eunuch in a navy blue robe, who seemed to be carrying a yellow silk behind him, and he also saw Zhou Mubai from a distance, and quickly opened his throat: "It's Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou, please stay." ”

Only then did Zhou Mubai know that this eunuch was giving a decree to himself. The little eunuch had already reined in his horse beside Zhou Mubai and sang loudly: "Congratulations to Lord Zhou, congratulations to Lord Zhou, congratulations to Lord Zhou ......"
