Chapter 848
Zhu Cixuan thought about it in his mind that if he could only transport 100,000 rounds at one time, and it would take at least six days to arrive, it would not be able to catch up with the consumption of the front line. Li Yan's memorial said it very clearly that the consumption per day was about tens of thousands of rounds.
If they could not be sent over, their offensive offensive could only be temporarily stopped. Although they could rely on the lives of soldiers, this was definitely not what Zhu Cixuan thought. The land seized with the lives of soldiers was not a victory for the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty..."
When Hou Fangyu saw Zhu Cilang falling into deep thought, the guy remembered another thing, so he was about to bring it up. Zhu Cilang raised his hand and asked the guy to continue talking.
"There are also some Western transport ships in Nanjing. If they are asked to help, they can transport a lot of cargo. We only need to send a navy warship to escort the ship, and they can also make up for the transport ship."
Hou Fangyu thought for a while and said that although these Western transport ships are not as fast as ours, they are quite large in number.
If they were allowed to transport it, it would also alleviate the transportation pressure here. It happened that there were nearly thirty ships there, and nearly 200,000 shells could be transported at one time.
"This matter is absolutely impossible. Didn't Master Long live to say it before? If it is my race, the minds of the foreigners will be different. If it is other materials, it can help the foreign merchant ships, but now this is a must-use thing on our battlefield. If these foreigners have other ideas, it may be detrimental to the front line."
Zhang Shenyan immediately raised an objection.
Although the others didn't say it, they all nodded. For these people, Long Live has warned us more than once that these Westerners have no good intentions.
Although we are brothers now, it is because there is enough profit in trade with us. If there is a dispute, these people will instantly become our enemies.
"Do you have some skills to hold on to them?"
When everyone present knew that Zhu Cixuan was tempted, he would have known that Long Live was moved, otherwise he would not have said this.
"I thought that our navy warships were around us. If they had other ideas, they could sink them at any time. And we had to agree with these people that our soldiers must be armed escorted on their transport ships. They have seen their weapons and equipment, which is really far from ours."
Hou Fangyu thought for a while and said, our navy warship was surrounded outside.
There are also our soldiers on their transport ship. If we have other ideas, we can make a living for them at any time. These people are chasing profits. As long as we give them more money, there is no need to be unable to get along with us for Annan.
"Are you sure you can collect so many foreign transport ships? Don't they want to load the goods and return to the West as soon as possible?"
When Zhang Shenyan asked this question, Hou Fangyu's face began to be happy. Zhu Cilang also understood what was going on, but the adults present did not deal with foreigners very much.
So they didn't know very well that these Westerners went to the Ming Dynasty to do business, and they relied on our silence to live a life.
When will we give them goods and how much goods trade initiative is in our hands. If we are willing to help, we will naturally be happy. But if we want to refuse, don’t blame us for being ruthless.
"Don't worry, after the past two years of trade, the Westerners also know how powerful our Ming Dynasty is. They will not have any other thoughts. Even if they have it, they will not dare to bare their teeth at our court."
Hou Fangyu said confidently, no wonder he said so. In the recent year of exchanges, all Western businessmen dared not even make a fart.
According to our various ways, these Western merchants were divided into several stocks, and they were not united within them. Through the struggle between them, we, the Ming Dynasty, made more money.
In the eyes of these Western merchants, the Ming Emperor was naturally the existence they looked up to, but Hou Fangyu was able to meet them cordially.
In their eyes, Hou Fangyu seemed to be the God of Wealth. Although he had already determined everyone's share in the past, there were still some subtle changes when trading. With these subtle changes alone, some people also made a lot of money.
"It's better to be careful."
Zhang Shenyan didn't know much about Western things, but he had seen these Western businessmen, and always felt that these people were not very kind, so he would give him more advice, and Hou Fangyu next to him naturally bowed and agreed.
"Mr. Zhang is right. You can discuss this matter. You must negotiate with them as quickly as possible, and then send elite soldiers and strong generals on board the ship. They will never be allowed to unpack along the way. If there are any bad intentions, it is not hesitant to blow up the ship directly."
People have heard Zhu Cixuan's words. The reason why Zhu Cixuan has made such an arrangement is that he is thinking that he cannot change the world's progress too quickly. He must know that the grenade launcher shells will not come out after hundreds of years.
If these Western merchants find it now and take it back for a while, they still don’t know what strange weapons will appear. If they can’t handle it, this rebirth will be in trouble.
It took two full hours to end this imperial meeting.
"Does Mr. Zhang have other things?"
The others have already withdrawn, but the old guy Zhang Shenyan has not moved.
"Of course, I have something to do. Can you imagine that Long Live?
As soon as Zhang Shenyan said this, Zhu Cilang understood what was going on. Originally, Zhang Shenyan had already separated from the civil service group.
However, as the Minister of Rites, Zhang Shenyan had to take care of the wedding of the Long Live Emperor, so Zhang Shenyan had been trying to find an opportunity in the past two days. Who knew that Zhu Cilang was hiding from this old man and was now caught.
"I'm still saying that, either Zhou Luan or you will discuss it again..."
Zhu Cilang was also determined to get along for a while, and Zhu Cilang also saw his cousin's charity.
Moreover, if someone else was chosen to be the queen, the harm to this little girl would not be a joke, so Zhu Cilang had no room for regression on this issue. Even if all the civil service groups came, Zhu Cilang still said this.
