Zhong Liqing was silent for a long time, he came to Zhu Yunwen's side and said, "Your Majesty, there are actually other methods, which are very feasible, but you have to take some risks. ” Zhu Yunwen asked, "What method, you can tell me and listen to it." ” Zhongli Qingzheng said, "I have read some strange people's travels, and I found that under the Ming Yunnan, there are some small uncivilized countries, some of which occupy many waterways, and we only need to let the fleet enter the Western Regions from the waterways of those small countries, and then land, and we can attack the countries in the Western Regions in one fell swoop." ” "There are three problems in this, first, the Western Regions are located in a desert area, and it takes time for the fleet to reach the Western Regions, and it cannot reach the destination directly, the army still needs to march, and second, these fleets naturally cannot be the Ming Army, so which country's fleet should we use, third, I said that this is a strange man's travelogue, if it is fake, we will return in vain and miss the fighter."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhong Liqing's confident expression, he knew that Zhong Liqing must have a solution, Zhu Yunwen asked, "So what are the solutions to these three problems?"
” "The first point is not very difficult, and our army suddenly attacked, but it can catch the countries of the Western Regions by surprise, and the second point, we can find the British Empire that we contacted not long ago, hehe, I believe they will be willing to help, as for the third point, this is the point that worries me the most, because I have never been to those places, I am not sure if this is true."
Zhu Yunwen then Zhong Liqing said, "The first point is very good, and the second point is hehe, England and Spain have been fighting for hundreds of years because of the Silk Road, and now give them a chance to appear directly in the key area of the Silk Road, and stop this place, the British Empire must be very willing to help." ” "That's what I thought too."
Zhongli Qing smiled treacherously, "But until then, we can't expose our intentions, but use an attitude of help to let the English fleet reach the Western Regions by waterway, and after that, we will send someone to inform the Spanish trade team, and let Spain send someone too, so that we can get the maximum benefit with the least effort." ” "The third point."
Zhu Yunwen squinted his eyes and said, "Do you remember the direction of that waterway, draw it and show me." ” Zhong Liqing didn't think much about it, he picked up the brush, briefly drew a Yunnan on the paper, and then drew other small countries below, among them, a waterway runs through all the small countries, leading directly to the Western Regions, I have to say that Zhong Liqing's memory is still quite good.
Zhu Yunwen smiled, "Not bad!
Just do as you say, Zhong Liqing, you really didn't disappoint me. ” Zhongli was stunned, "Emperor. . .
Your Majesty, this.
We haven't verified the accuracy of this course, and rash action could backfire, and England will think we're cheating on them. ” "No, no, no."
Zhu Yunwen said confidently, "I'm sure it's true that you can draw this channel." ” Zhong Liqing asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the emperor has been to these places himself?"
Or did someone in the empire ever go?
Even Hua Xirui behind Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, he followed Zhu Yunwen on the trip to Yunnan, and he had never heard that Zhu Yunwen had left Yunnan to go to a small country below Yunnan.
Zhu Yunwen smiled mysteriously, "Keep it secret, but you just need to know that what you drew is completely correct." ” Thinking that Zhu Yunwen had never been open-minded, Zhong Liqing nodded, "Since this is decided, how should we announce it and inform the people in England?"
” "Nope."
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, we must secretly inform the people of England in my name." ” Zhong Liqing can also understand Zhu Yunwen's thoughts, indeed, the more people there are, the easier it is to leak out, if the people in England know Daming's thoughts at that time, I am afraid that they will withdraw angrily.
"And when will you tell them?"
Zhu Yunwen said, "The sooner the better, we must take into account the time of thinking about England and the time of returning to England to deploy troops." ” "Tomorrow, then."
Zhong Liqing said, "This matter should be sooner rather than later. ” Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhong Liqing seriously, "I have full authority to you to do this matter, you go to someone in England and convey my thoughts, and I will send you the holy decree and the emperor's seal later." ” "Me?"
Zhong Liqing pointed at himself in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, it's not like you haven't seen it, just now I was blushing with anger because of that little thing, and now I am arranging such an important task to negotiate with the people of England, aren't you embarrassed for me?"
” Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhong Liqing deeply, "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to complete it, Zhong Liqing, when did you become so inkblot and timid?"
” Zhong Liqing's expression perked up, and he pursed his lips, "Okay!
I'll take over this errand today, Your Majesty, don't blame me if I mess up!
” "Absolutely not to blame!"
Zhu Yunwen said seriously, "Even if you make a mess in the end, I don't blame you for half a point."
"Zhu Yunwen uses me here, which represents his trust in Zhong Liqing.
People who really do great things must be able to stand up at critical moments, Han Xin is like this, no one thought that he could order millions of troops before, but in the end, he did it, Zhu Yunwen saw Han Xin's momentum from Zhong Liqing.
In other words, Zhong Liqing, a person who is usually moody and angry, laughing and laughing, is even more terrifying than Han Xin, hand over this matter to Zhong Liqing, Zhu Yunwen dares!
Zhu Yunwen got up, Hua Xirui took out a holy decree that did not write anything under Zhu Yunwen's instructions, and Zhu Yunwen solemnly wrote down the content: Spain blocked the land Silk Road, blocked the land trade between the Ming Dynasty and England, and the finance of England was shortened by half.
After writing, Zhu Yunwen handed over the holy decree to Zhong Liqing, "There is very little writing, but Richard is a smart person, he will understand."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen took out the seal letter he was carrying, "This is the emperor's seal letter, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where you are, you can go as you like, no matter what official you are, you can kill it casually, no one dares to touch you at all." ” Hua Xirui was slightly surprised, how important the emperor's seal was, but she quite understood, she didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to hand over this thing to Zhong Liqing now.
Zhong Liqing solemnly accepted the seal letter and the holy decree, he knelt down and said, "Minister, you will not disgrace your mission!"
” People like Zhong Liqing rarely kneel, and his kneeling is a promise to Zhu Yunwen.
