138 Zhen Youqian, who threw himself into the net
"Audience of the deceased messenger of Seishri Buddha!"
In a hall that is even more magnificent than the Dongyue Palace, Zhen Xiong is sitting in a dragon robe.
And his son Zhen Youqian was wearing a python robe and standing below him.
"I've seen the lord of the kingdom!" The messenger who had passed away from Sri Buddha folded his hands together and asked, "I have come today because my lord has asked me to ask, when will the goods that Great Wei promised to give me the goods of Sri Buddha's death be delivered?"
"This ......" Zhen Xiong hesitated, but it was Zhen Youqian below who took over.
"Envoy rest assured, my Great Wei promised you that it will naturally be done, but the situation on this sea is changing rapidly, and it cannot be changed by manpower, so please also ask the envoy to tell your lord to give me a few more days!"
"Huh." The envoy smiled slightly: "I, Sri Buddha, asked Dawei to send these goods to Nanyang, it was either windy or rainy, and it has been transported for two months, Your Highness!"
Although the words were polite, they were meaningful, they all said to be obedient and listen, how could Zhen Youqian not hear that the other party was squeezing himself.
"You!"
was about to get angry, but was stopped by Zhen Xiong: "Don't be rude!"
"Rest assured, at most half a month, we will deliver the goods according to the trade agreement! We still have some of the goods in our inner treasury that are on the trade agreement, and we will send them to Sri Buddha as soon as possible."
"In that case, then I will return to my family to live!" The envoy bowed his hand, and then left the Dongyue Imperial Palace.
"Damn one, you deceive people too much!" Zhen Youqian stomped his foot and said.
"What the hell is going on now?" Zhen Xiong handed over this matter to Zhen Youqian, intending to train him to succeed, but he really didn't know the specific situation.
As a result, Zhen Youqian himself did not know.
"Now there is only news that came not long ago, saying that Datang went to Dongyue with dozens of pirate ships, and no one knows what happened next."
Zhen Xiong touched his beard: "I'm afraid that Dongyue has changed its master now!"
"Daddy...... No, Father, according to you, shouldn't we have planned earlier?" Zhen Youqian's face changed, and he asked eagerly.
"I know what you're worried about! How many times have I taught you to be calm in everything!" Zhen Xiong glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "What are you going to prepare? That Datang doesn't even have its own navy, I know it, those who go to East Vietnam are the ships of two pirates in the north, Qian Laosan and Luo Laosi, what did they look like when they were in the north?"
"Dongyue has changed hands, it must be the Tang Dynasty marching from Baozi City, the Tang Army is powerful, and there are artifacts like the Tang Shenwei Cannon, plus we have taken so many people, it will be easy for them to capture Dongyue."
"But if you want to come to the South Seas, don't say if they have a route here, but with those dozens of pirate ships, do you think our Great Wei Navy will be afraid?"
When Zhen Youqian heard Zhen Xiong's analysis, he was also relieved.
Indeed, if nothing else, as far as their Great Wei Navy is concerned, it is a real fight.
It turned out that when he swept the East China Sea in Dongyue, Buyeo, Silla, and Fusang and other northern countries and forces, as well as the strongest Sri Buddha after coming to Nanyang, all faced once, but none of them were defeated.
This gave the Zhen family father and son infinite confidence.
"Father is wise!" Zhen Youqian slapped his ass.
"Okay, now we just need to stabilize our Great Wei country!" This entire land was occupied by them, and there were still a lot of Nanyang natives who were suppressed by them, so it can be said that there are still many contradictions in the country, and they really don't have the energy to take care of the affairs of Dongyue.
"But what are we going to do with Sri Buddha's death?" Zhen Youqian asked.
"This ......" Zhen Xiong thought for a while and said, "Now there is no ship from Dongyue coming over for a long time, I'm afraid that after the Tang Dynasty takes Dongyue, it will blockade the sea frontier!" Those pirate ships may not be useful in naval battles, but they are still fine with sealing off those merchant ships."
"Won't we all be able to buy things from East Vietnam in the future?" Zhen Youqian said urgently.
This South Seas
It's not bad, but it's much more primitive than Datang and Dongyue.
And there are a lot of things he is used to in Dongyue, especially a lot of good things purchased from Datang, and they are even more indispensable, if you can't buy things over there in the future, just guard such a Nanyang, what is the difference between it and a savage?
"Hmph, they don't sell it, can't we pick it up ourselves?"
"Pick it up yourself?" Zhen Youqian was stunned: "How to take it?"
Zhen Xiong really didn't expect that his son was so unenlightened?
He said it so clearly, he still couldn't think of it.
"How did Qian Laosan and Luo Laosi get things?"
"Ahh Zhen Youqian's face was happy, and he said with a smile, "Yes, we can go and be pirates!"
"Ahem, ahem!" Zhen Xiong coughed a few times, this number seems to be really wasted, and now he is still in the prime of life, although this Nanyang woman is a little darker, but if she chooses one, she may also be beautiful, so she should hurry up and have another one!
Great Wei has the strongest navy, and if Datang wants to blockade the sea frontier, then he can only let people keep attacking.
The only thing that Datang can threaten them now is the Datang Shenwei cannon, but Zhen Xiong knows the weakness of that cannon, and it is impossible for Datang to defend the seaside with this kind of thing.
When the time comes, first, you can rob, and second, you can buy some people to help you smuggle.
The things in Datang Chang'an are all good things, and they sell very well in this Nanyang, so naturally they can't be missed.
In the future, as long as you raise some smugglers in Datang, the precious timber and metal that you have transported from Nanyang can be sold by them in Datang, and then they will go north to Buyeo, Silla Fusang and other places to sell all kinds of goods bought in Datang, and finally go back to Nanyang.
As long as the Tang Dynasty is not stronger than the Great Wei navy, then it can only be at its own discretion.
Of course, the blueprints of his battleship were provided by Tang Ping's guy, and I think Datang will also start building such a battleship, but the naval background he has saved for so many years is not something that they will be able to catch up with for a while.
As long as Dawei has a firm foothold in Nanyang, there are many more wood resources for shipbuilding than in Dongyue, and Zhen Xiong believes that Datang Shipbuilding itself can also build ships, and they will not be able to catch up with themselves after all.
As for the goods over there, he promised to do well, but in fact, he still planned to drag it out, and it really didn't work, and Dawei also had some inventory that could deal with a whole thing.
"Give the goods in your storehouse to Sri Buddha first, and you can be considered an explanation."
Zhen Youqian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhen Xiong and said, "Father, what are you talking about?"
"Okay, don't pretend to me, don't think you've hidden it from me!" Zhen Xiong said angrily: "You have raised so many women, I didn't say anything about you in the past, but now that the situation is special, you just tell them to bear with it first!"
His own son, he has no other skills, there are more women in the prince's mansion than in his own harem, and goods such as bronze mirrors and perfume are originally women's favorites, so Zhen Xiong has always known that Zhen Youqian has a private treasury that hides a lot, but it is not necessary, so he has never said him.
Now Sri Buddha is in a hurry, and although Zhen Youqian's things are not enough, at least some of them can be delivered first.
"Yes! Father!" Zhen Youqian drooped his head and arched his hand and said.
"Then let the child take someone to Sri Buddha and die this time!"
Thinking of deducting these things, the women in the family are afraid that they are going to make a fuss, since this is the case, it is better to lead the team to send it over, and they can hide for a few days.
"It's okay for you to go to Sri Buddha and die, and you can share it with their lord."
Although Zhen Xiong didn't know the saying that the truth was only within the range of the cannon, he understood this truth.
He knew that even if Sri Buddha was unhappy, he didn't dare to turn his face against him.
Even if their Sri Buddha is a lot stronger than the Great Wei Army, but after all, the South Seas occupy most of the sea, and they are really going to turn their faces, and their Great Wei Navy can turn the sea trade of Sri Buddha upside down.
When the time comes, the gains will outweigh the losses, and he thinks that what he Zhen Xiong can think of, Sri Buddha must be able to think of after his death.
So three days later, Zhen Youqian, with one or two scratches on his face, five warships and five merchant ships, passed away towards Sri Buddha.
"By the way, last time I remembered that Sri Buddha had a subordinate of Barab who had been talking to me, what was that person's name?"
Zhen Youqian, who was on the boat, touched the scratches on his face with his hand, and in the past few days, he has almost been fine.
"It seems that his name is Dong Li, and he is a Ryukyuan man, but he has been doing things with Yarabu, and he sent you a lot of things last time."
"Yes, yes, it's Dong Li!" Zhen Youqian smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit: "After the death of Sri Buddha, please contact him, he told me last time that after the death of Sri Buddha, there were many women who believed in Buddhism, and they all shaved their heads like monks, and this prince has not tried this kind of woman!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what ...... When Sri Buddha died, I am afraid that it would be ...... to do so."
"Afraid of what?" Zhen You glanced at his entourage and persuaded him: "Dong Li said, as long as you have money, you can find some in private, and even if something happens at that time, it will be Dong Li's matter, could it be that Sri Buddha really dares to offend our Great Wei?"
"That's what the prince said!" His followers all know his character, and since he has decided, it is better not to disobey him.
And he is not wrong, as long as it is not strong, if it is money, Sri Buddha will not be able to find trouble with them, even if he really wants to find trouble, he should be looking for Dong Li who is the matchmaker.
It's just that they don't know that Dong Li has long been thrown into the sea by Ba Rabu and fed to the fish.
"Where's the front?"
"I'll be able to get to Dama Island tonight, that's the territory of Barab, is the prince going to visit?"
"Well, it's good to go and see, that fat man has a lot of delicious food there, what is the food on the boat these days, his mouth is about to fade out of the bird, it's not bad to go to the tooth sacrifice!"
"Yes, Prince!"
