Chapter 1789 There is no other way(2/2)
There was a look of anger in the king's eyes, "What did they bring?"
The general of the Great Food said: "They brought more than 100 merchant ships, more than 70 warships, and very tall warships."
"Who said that the warships of the Song Dynasty were vulnerable?"
The king lost interest in eating, pushed open the exquisite plate, got up and walked down.
"Tell me, what we missed."
The general of the Dashi followed him and said, "We thought the Song people's sea boats were terrible and thought they were not our opponents, so when we saw those warships, we would panic and be at a loss."
The king walked out of the room and reached out to wipe the crumbs from his lips, "In just a few years, the situation has changed so much. Could it be that the Song people have help?"
"No, there is only a powerful man named Chen An who is supporting the reconstruction of the navy. It is said that he has invited our people to build the sea ships with a lot of money."
"The merchants who are jealous of money are creating opponents for us!" The king was angry, "But who can tell me that our students from a few years ago are now stronger than us, why?"
The general bowed his head, "The Song people are so smart. As long as they start, they will all come by themselves, and they will surpass us in a few years."
The king turned around and asked with a bright look: "What about a few years in?"
The general's eyes were a bit fierce, "In a few years, they will become giants."
"Yes, a giant." sighed the king, "and if the food loses those trades, do you know what else will you lose?"
"We have lost the opportunity to trade directly from the Song people, and we can only trade in Dashi in the future, so we will lose a lot of money." The general looked into the distance with melancholy eyes, "We have lost Baghdad, and those enemies are strong and strong. If we lose a lot of money, we will never be able to maintain a strong army. That will be the end of the day."
"Yes, doomsday." The king clapped his hands, and a guard next to him brought hot towels. "The east towel is very good, I think... it would be better if it could be cheaper."
How can it be cheap?
Only by defeating the opponent and let the Dashi's sea ship reoccupies the ocean of this world.
Big food cannot lose the ocean!
The general understands it and says goodbye after saluting.
"I don't know whether my decision is right or wrong, but we have no other way."
The king behind him had a low voice.
He then summoned civil and military officials to discuss matters.
"Our fleet can no longer go to the East."
Just one sentence made the officials roar.
The king looked coldly, knowing that these people had taken great benefits from the sea trade.
Now that the Song people want to control the maritime trade themselves, how could they be willing to do so?
"Is the Song people's army strong?"
A civil servant asked.
A general came out and said proudly: "No, no, no, their army is very weak. The whole world knows that the Liao people in the north have suppressed them for a hundred years. There was also a rebellion inside them. Just in the northwest, the small rebellion force has been suppressing the Song people."
The civil servant said, "In other words, the Song people... have nothing except money?"
"Yes, your understanding hits the disadvantages of the Song people."
The king nodded, feeling a little happy.
"The Song people's warships arrived at Dashi, which was driven by ambition. If we don't take action, they will think we are weak and next time they will bring countless troops to land."
"Yes, we must decisively eliminate their ambitions!"
These words are nonsense.
The king knows, everyone knows it.
How could the Song people transport large numbers of troops from thousands of miles away?
Just supply can make the Song people collapse.
But Dashi needs an excuse.
Now there is an excuse.
He smiled and said, "I get it."
This is a signal that later civil and military officials gathered together to discuss matters.
"You want to attack!"
A civil servant said loudly: "Use tincture to burn their warships."
"Yes." The generals agreed calmly.
"No, no! Why can't those warships be kept?"
This idea made everyone laugh.
"Yes! The Song people's warships are very tall. If they can be taken over, they will be ours. And we can also improve our warships based on their warships."
“Good idea.”
Everyone agreed with this idea, but how can we do it?
"Invite their generals to enjoy the food, but don't need to be too far away, so that they won't be alert. Then let them get drunk and we take the opportunity to do it."
The civil servants' eyes were full of excitement.
"And those beautiful women are all made out to confuse them!"
