While Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking, Lan Yu couldn't help but speak:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Jin has no intention of rebellion."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, his curiosity was aroused, and he asked:

"How do you know?"

"Intuition!"

Lan Yu spread his hands, indicating that he always did things intuitively.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Lan Yu, this kid has never been reliable.

But at this moment, he has already made up his mind.

Standing up slowly, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da and Lan Yu:

"Is the current army of 20,000 still under your control?"

Xu Da also stood up and said:

"Yes, the generals in the army are all brought out by us from the Beijing camp."

"They are also loyal to the emperor, and we will never dare to be sloppy in this kind of thing."

Lan Yu interjected beside him:

"This kind of thing, the emperor can rest assured, we will never dare to be careless."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, and then said:

"Let these soldiers learn how to control the Italian cannon as soon as possible, just in case of accidents."

"If Li Jin has any misdeeds, we will allow you to cut it first and then play."

"But if Li Jin is really single-minded and wants to exterminate the Japanese Bandits, you don't have to stop him."

"If you are really loyal to your country, this is a good thing."

Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts in his heart were not dispelled.

The main thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked today, it was too big.

It's not so much shock as shock.

I didn't expect Li Jin to be able to come up with such a lethal weapon, which was really unexpected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it weren't for Xu Da and Lan Yu being here, and the 20,000 army was still under their control, I was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would chop Li Jin on the spot.

After all, this threat to the imperial power is too great for Zhu Yuanzhang to accept at all.

Even now, Zhu Yuanzhang is still skeptical.

As Xu Da said, it is completely unreasonable for Li Jin to hate those Japanese islanders so much.

Li Jin is not a child who grew up by the sea, and although his parents are no longer there, he was not killed by the Japanese islanders.

He wants to hate, and he should hate the Mongols, not those dwarfs on the other side of the ocean.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe in this kind of nonsense, but he remembered that it was the first time he came to Shanghu County.

In the black market in the dark place north of the city, the people who were trafficked and entered the gladiatorial arena were basically all Japanese people.

Although there are still a few Kunlun slaves, the Wajima people occupy an absolute number of slaves.

There is also Li Jin's vision for the future at the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the East India Company formation meeting, the most important of which is to exterminate the Japanese invaders.

The conquest of Wajima, and then the slave trade in Wajima, look at that posture, it is indeed necessary to exterminate Wajima.

All these made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of suspicions, temporarily choose to believe in Li Jin.

But if Li Jin has any abnormal moves, he will never be soft, but will directly dispatch a large army to completely kill Li Jin.

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang left Li Jin with a glimmer of life, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao put down their hearts slightly.

Although Li Jin is still in the range of observation, he has finally saved a small life.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind, he discussed with Xu Da about the problem on Li Jin's side.

"Superior, there are 20,000 horses on our side, and some of them have already begun to participate in the boarding exercise."

"I also went on the ship to see it, and the ship was very large, two or three times more than the kind of giant ship that Chen Youliang had at the beginning."

"And it's really two decks, and I've seen the guns on it, and there are definitely no less than hundred."

"The ship can accommodate more than 1,500 soldiers, and sailors alone need more than 300 people."

"There is also a giant ship underneath that can use foot power to propagate the ship."

"The sails are also stiff, but there are two spinnakers at the stern and bow for quick turning."

Xu Da just took a group of soldiers with good training performance a few days ago and boarded the huge ship that Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Jin were talking about today.

The moment he first saw it, Xu Da felt a huge sense of oppression, which made him feel a little suffocated.

It was the largest ship he had ever seen, and it looked even bigger than some small islands, and it was a monster of the sea.

And the most terrifying thing about this kind of ship is that it is not only large, but also not slow at all, and even far exceeds the speed of the lucky boat.

Because of the spinnaker, the change of direction is also very fast.

In addition to this, there is terrifying fire support.

It's like playing a game, while others can't beat you, they can't run as fast as you, so you can only be abused by you.

After hearing Xu Da's report, Zhu Yuanzhang asked:

"How many of these ships did Li Jin make?"

"I'm afraid there are no less than ten, and I saw in the shipyard before that there are no less than fifteen sinks in the shipyard."

"If they were going to build it, they would definitely build it together."

"So Li Jin now has no less than ten giant ships in his hands, and maybe even fifteen."

Xu Da said confidently.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of what he saw and heard in the shipyard, and couldn't help but nod a little.

If you follow the manufacturing speed of Li Jin's assembly line, I am afraid that the speed at which he builds ships will definitely far exceed expectations.

If Li Jin really exterminated the Japanese invaders, just that Longjiang Treasure Shipyard would be able to make money every day and generate huge profits every year.

In addition, there are also those gold and silver mines in Wadao, which are in Li Jin's bag.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glance at Queen Ma, fortunately, our sister was smart and decisively accounted for half of the share.

Otherwise, Li Jin would have to swallow all the money.

Xu Da continued:

"But there is a little bad about this kind of ship."

"Oh? What's not to like? ”

Queen Ma was listening to it with relish, but she didn't expect Xu Da to change her words suddenly, which made her heart chuckle.

"It's just that the draught of this kind of boat is not very deep, although it runs relatively fast, but it does not carry much."

Xu Da analyzed:

"So at the beginning, Li Jin said that it seemed that several large Fu ships would be built as transport ships to provide supplies for the fleet."

"In addition to this, there is a need for corvettes, and dozens of smaller and faster corvettes will be built."

"Lin Lin has finally calculated, almost nearly a hundred warships are needed, and together they form a fleet, they can sweep the four seas and level the eight wildernesses."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded, but he just asked Li to go in to exterminate the Japanese invaders, why now it seems that he wants to destroy all the countries on the sea.

Besides, nearly a hundred ships, how much silver do you get for the cost of this?

"With so many ships, did Li Jin build them?"

"This forest has finally come down, but I'm afraid that if there are no five million taels, it won't be able to be made at all, right?"

Xu Da stretched out three fingers and said:

"Li Jin said that he made it himself, and he didn't need so much silver, at most three million taels of silver."

"And the money will be recorded in the head of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, after all, if the trade route is really opened up and the island is occupied, it is the Royal Chamber of Commerce that benefits the most."

Speaking of this, Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is the major shareholder of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

This unjust money, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally gave the most.

Sure enough, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard Xu Da's words, he immediately said angrily:

"Bastard, why let the Royal Chamber of Commerce give money, it's all our money, our money!!"

"Li Jin, this dog thing, for his own personal vendetta, he has to destroy the Japanese and the Japanese island, why do you spend our money?"

"Let's go to him and ask him to give us an explanation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get up, but was held down by Xu Da and said:

"Superior, it's not appropriate for you to go to him now!"

"No matter what people say, it is also to contribute to the country, although it contains their own personal grievances, but it is also to clear the sea for the Ming Dynasty."

"For so many years, these pirates have ravaged the seashores of the Ming Dynasty, causing killings every year."

"The farther we retreat, the farther they will follow."

"Now that Li Jin is willing to stand up, that's also a good thing, let's not go to him for trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, although what Xu Da said was true, but it also made him very unhappy.

But now I can only be patient for the time being, after all, the matter of going to sea is imperative, and Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to be delayed.

"Let's ask you, when will Li Jin be able to go to sea and exterminate the Japanese invaders?"

"I'm afraid it will take another three months, after all, the soldiers have not yet completed their training."

"And the ships, as well as the artillery, all kinds of weapons are not fully equipped."

"If you attack rashly, you will not only startle the snake, but also expose yourself, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Xu Da thought softly for a moment and gave Zhu Yuanzhang an accurate time.

"At least for more than two months, all kinds of materials in Shanghu County have been continuously supplied to the port."

"The shipyard is also working overtime, if everything goes well, in about two months, the emperor will be able to see an invincible armada, appearing on the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly, he has been waiting for so long, and if he waits for another two months, of course he can.

"Let the soldiers not be afraid of hardship, let alone tiredness, the situation of the war in the future is likely to change, so that they must learn their skills well."

"When you return to Jingying in the future, you need to teach these to other friendly forces, so as to increase the strength of the Ming Dynasty."

"We believe that the next time we meet, it will definitely make Wang Baobao unforgettable for life."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something happy, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Da also smiled involuntarily.

To be honest, he is looking forward to meeting Wang Baobao next time.
