The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Chapter 834 Fooling the King of Korea [3]

Yan Song said indifferently: "The Grand Council has already made a decision. It is impossible for Ming Dynasty to get involved in the Korean civil war before you try it. This is a great national policy. The elders of this cabinet cannot change it."

Li Chenggui looked disappointed: "Could it be that there is really nothing to do?"

Yan Song blinked: "If there is no way, it is not necessarily true."

Li Chenggui said anxiously: "Son-in-law!"

Yan Song rolled his eyes, Li Chenggui, how anxious are you to give your daughter to me?

Li Chenggui laughed dryly and said, "Slip of the tongue. But we are all on our own, so just speak up."

Yan Song also reluctantly agrees with this person's statement that the gang still needs to help (of course, if it does not lose its own interests).

Yan Song said sternly: "In the affairs of Goryeo, you must first base yourself on yourself, and you can't rely entirely on Daming. Your subordinate Li Shunchen and others are all talented generals. Why don't you personally lead the attack on the Cui family?"

Li Chenggui said helplessly: "My son-in-law (Yan Song rolled his eyes again), ah no, Mr. Yan Ge doesn't know something. It's not that I don't want to. I really can't beat the Cui family. The powerful ministers of the Cui family have been in business for more than 15 years in the country. Profound. Even the few troops I control are only led by my people, and many of the subordinate generals and soldiers obey Cui's orders. In a fight, our chances of winning are not great."

Yan Song nodded.

What Li Chenggui said was true.

If he could survive the fight, Li Chenggui would not be so distraught and escape to Daming.

But Yan Song just smiled.

Goryeo's split and civil war was a disaster for Goryeo, but not necessarily for Ming Dynasty!

Just as Japan fell into the Warring States period at this time, it was only possible for Ming to make a fortune and triple the price, just as Korea fell into civil war, so it must rely more on and respect Da Ming!

In this way, Ming's position in East Asia will be more stable.

Don't look at Li Chenggui as a grandson now, try Cui Ying's death and let him unify Korea, what is his attitude?

He will immediately become awesome, with five people and six people, treating himself as a character.

Politicians all turn their faces and deny people.

Therefore, Yan Songcai didn't care about the civil war in Goryeo, which lasted for a long time. It would be better for Goryeo to become two countries. Li Chenggui and Cui's long-term confrontation would be good!

Yan Song Throughout history, the suffering of a country is the gospel of neighboring countries.Conversely, the rise of a country is the disaster of its neighbors.

This is the case with China, Japan, and North Korea.When China is strong, Japan and North Korea have to be grandchildren. When China is weak and divided, and there are no tigers in the mountains, these countries will immediately become kings from monkeys.

However, Li Chenggui talked about his son-in-law one by one, Li Xiaoli looked at him affectionately, and Yan Song couldn't help expressing it.

He said lightly: "Since the relationship between the two parties is so good, I, as the chief assistant, should also show something. In this way, I can have another audience with the emperor and convey your request. You Koreans can buy my Daming's weapons at a high price! Gear up! How about it?"

"Weapons?" Li Chenggui's eyes lit up.

During the sea-opening ceremony in Tianjin, he saw the power of the Daming artillery!

When hundreds of cannons bombarded the Japanese warships, those arrogant Japanese daimyos blasted the ground like dirt, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy, not daring to fart.

If these weapons can be sold to his army, what kind of fart is Cui Ying?

Li Chenggui immediately became excited.

Although Daming is unwilling to send troops, if he can buy some advanced weapons, it means that his strength will be stronger, and his confidence in dealing with Cui Ying will be greatly increased.

Yan Song looked at the excited "father-in-law" and laughed in his heart.

Li Chenggui is an old fox, of course Yan Song will not give him sincerely.

His intention is actually to sell weapons!

In the arsenal of the Ming Dynasty, those outdated weapons and obsolete old cannons had to be sold as scrap iron, or simply melted down and recast.Yan Song felt it was a pity.

If you can sell it at a sky-high price and cheat some people, isn't this routine the common practice of later generations of rice emperors?

In the name of Mi Di, and then sell the obsolete weapons that he does not use to those who have been taken advantage of at a sky-high price, to show his intimacy, and to deter the enemy, why not do it?

It's true that Daming opened the sea, but who thinks too much money?

To be honest, Yan Song still has many plans to be realized, but he has been suffering from lack of funds.

For example, Shanghai Kaihai.

Tianjin Kaihai, the imperial court issued 3000 million taels of Kaihai construction bonds, and there are still a whole bunch of bonds from the three major banks.

Yan Song estimates that even if the market in Tianjin is booming and the tariffs are increasing day by day, it will take 1-2 years to pay off the debt.

This is only one aspect.

The military shipyard invested by Yan Song in Tianjin, the Sail Battleship, has already begun to test the waters.

Again, money is needed!

Battleships burn more money than anything else in this era.King Philip II of Spain spent tens of millions of gold louis to build the Armada. At that time, Spain's 670 national income was only 300 million. He went bankrupt 12 times to avoid the creditors' debt collection.

The construction price of a British battleship at this time is also expensive, requiring 20000 pounds.That's the equivalent of 20000 pounds of gold.

It is conceivable that Yan Song is ambitious at this time, and how much it will cost to build an invincible navy of the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Song didn't dare to tell Jiajing that his ambitious naval construction plan cost, otherwise, once this matter was exposed, there would be a lot of opposition in the court.
