Chapter Forty-Six: Ping Yingce
Li Yingyuan was stunned when he saw the other party, and only then did he know that his words were not clear, so that the other party did not understand, so he hurriedly explained. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I've been thinking about the English pirates for a long time, thinking about what to do to get them to quit, and finally I have some ideas and come up with a whole set of methods.
I call this strategy against the English Pingyingce, and I hope that my senior brother can bring it back to Song Guerrilla, so that he can act according to the strategy, and solve this disaster on the southeast coast first. ”
"Oh, you wrote an article about Ping Yingce, dealing with the English people, are you sure you said that?" Xie Xun looked incredulous.
"I know what you're thinking, senior brother. Li Yingyuan hurriedly spoke, trying to dispel the other party's concerns: "Senior brother, you are worried about the safety of the master, and you want to search everywhere and put the master in danger."
But I also watched it on the day Master was injured, and he ran like flying, and his martial arts were not affected much. And I've been with the English and I'm familiar with their affairs, and they're hunting down the whole city, and they're not hiding anything that we, the apprentices, will know.
I see that Master Bacheng still left Dinghai safely, and now I don't know where to heal my wounds, maybe I won't return to Song Guerrilla until my injuries are healed.
Therefore, the top priority is not the master's problem, but how to complete the task left by the master first. ”
"I'm not talking about that, okay, let's talk about this task first. Xie Xun scratched his head, as if he felt that something just didn't understand: "Our mission is to obtain the Amber Golden Cicada Dao Seed, why does it involve the English people, does this have anything to do with the English people?"
Li Yingyuan looked at Xie Xun and made sure that the other party didn't look like he was drunk, and he looked like he had a normal IQ, so why didn't he understand. Well, maybe I was drunk and didn't explain things thoroughly, so let's make it clear from beginning to end.
"Master sent me here to take the contents of the Amber Gold Cicada Perry, that's right.
The reason for taking the contents of this amber golden cicada is that it contains a list of spies of the Japanese Invaders, and after obtaining it, it will have a miraculous effect on the Japanese Invaders;
But since this island has been occupied by the English, and the English have become the greatest scourge of the people, our task is to deal with the English, isn't that so, brother?"
"Senior brother, your words seem to be very reasonable, but why do I feel that I can't understand it at all?" Xie Xun had a confused expression on his face.
"What's so incomprehensible about this? Things have come to this point, senior brother, don't you think that everything will be fine if we go back after obtaining the Golden Cicada Dao Seed, you won't think so?"
"Isn't that what I should think?"
The two people stared at each other with big eyes, looked at each other, and suddenly found that there was a big gap between the two people's ideas.
"You're too conservative, aren't you?" Li Yingyuan suddenly accused.
"Don't you think you're not doing your job?" Xie Xun also criticized at the same time, glared at Li Yingyuan for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"Senior brother, you have been in Dinghai for this time, can't this be what you are thinking?"
"Naturally, this is it, so what else can there be?" Li Yingyuan didn't understand where the other party's smile came from.
"It's just that I don't understand, I heard you say that you are on an errand in England, and the other party pays you well, why do you want to deal with them?"
"Senior brother, why do you think that? On the first day they came, Hai Dagui died under their stray bullets, this Hai Dagui is also my comrade anyway, how can I be an errand for the person who killed my comrade?
Later, it was my duty to treat them as a langzhong, and I was worthy of my conscience as a langzhong. However, the other party didn't treat us Mingren as human beings, and injured those Lang Zhong who were unwilling to cooperate in public, and I didn't want to do it for them at that time.
It's just that since I am a secret agent of Jinyiwei, I need to collect information about the English and send it back, so I have been lurking, only saving people and not hurting people, so as to prepare for the return of the king one day.
I treated their injuries and took the money I deserved, and I never joined them from beginning to end, so, senior brother, do you understand?" asked Li Yingyuan suspiciously.
"Oh, I just... Forget it, what the junior brother said makes sense, it's the senior brother that I have a little bad thinking. Xie Xun rubbed his face, and seemed to be still a little confused: "Since you have said this, I have to ask my junior brother, what are you talking about?"
"I walked around during this time, and found out the military deployment of the English in Dinghai and the situation of warships, and found out the displacement and speed of each ship, the number, type and range of the guns on board, including the number of crews.
Senior brother gave this to Song Guerrilla, which will definitely be of great help to my Ming Dynasty in dealing with the English in the future. Li Yingyuan paused and continued to speak confidently.
"That's not the point, though. I look at this Englishman, the ships are strong and the guns are sharp, the whole fleet has at least three or four hundred guns, and what is even more rare is that the soldiers are well-trained, and they are by no means easy to deal with.
If you really want to fight head-on, you must gather at least five or six hundred Ming warships to compete with the English, and I doubt that the Ming side can come with so many ships and sailors.
Therefore, the first step is to focus on Huairou, first promise the other party to do business, and then we will vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry and military industry ourselves, build English-style warships and artillery, and then compete with others after training the navy, which is the best. ”
"So, your idea is to stabilize the other side first, and then build better warships and cannons, and then fight people? Xie Xun nodded, but asked again: "However, my Ming Dynasty is now full of smoke, and the people are not making a living, but I don't know where the money for shipbuilding, artillery training, junior brother, comes from?"
Xie Xun used an inquiring tone, but Li Yingyuan had already entered the state at this time, and he only felt that the other party had just scratched the itch, slapped his hand, and said excitedly.
"It's still the senior brother who understands that what he said just happens to be the real point, and the key to this whole thing falls on how to make money.
Is this profitable, it is necessary to rely on a science called economics by the English, and of course make some changes in combination with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.
During this time, I read history books diligently, and combined with the knowledge of the English people, I have some experiences, one of which is to find that some of my Ming practices are fundamentally wrong.
Today happens to be a good moonlight, so I will talk about these experiences and discuss them with my senior brother. ”
