Chapter 389: Selling the boat, a brand new boat

When we got to this point, we couldn't help but take a deep breath. Seeing that these people were similar to the World War, the Dutch and the British formed cliques in Europe, and the Ming and the Qing dynasties also used their own influence to fight in Asia, which was very similar to the world war in history, but who was the axis of evil or who was the ally?

But this is not important. What is the axis of evil? The axis of evil is a bad guy, an inhumane tyrant. Even if the Qing Dynasty and the Dutch were not, the propaganda of public opinion would make him be. Zhu Jun was confused for a moment and didn't know what to do. After the butterfly effect, an arms trade turned into the fuse of the world war. This was something Zhu Jun never expected, let alone be wary of it.

"Your Majesty, Britain urgently needs the assistance of the Ming fleet." The country's special envoy was still Jason. This time he begged for advice with a bitter face, and he had no good-dressed gentlemanly demeanor. A naval battle wiped out the British fleet, and the entire British sea was blocked by the Dutch. Some urgently needed trade must be allowed to take risks to transport.

"The northern coast of France was also attacked by the Dutch. Austria and some German federal states gathered 70,000 people on the eastern border. Your Majesty..."

"The Spanish naval power has disappeared, and the Portuguese are now constantly stumble on the coast."

Faced with each bitter face, only the envoys of the Kingdom of Sardinia were quite calm. Because they were located in the southern Italian island, they had not yet been threatened by enemy countries.

Zhu Jun knew that if he could not take the initiative, these guys who were holding the Ming Dynasty would probably immediately turn to the Netherlands. The closer the Netherlands and the Qing Dynasty became, it would be like pushing the whole of Europe to the people. Therefore, the war far away in Europe was almost equivalent to the competition between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in Europe.

Zhu Jun was really worried about having to save and was able to fight for these small countries with all his might. With a look of hope, Zhu Jun said to the eunuch beside him: "Go, call Yang Side."

The eunuch knew that the matter was of great importance, so he refused to let it go, so he even went to the cabinet to ask someone to go.

Half an hour later, Yang Side stepped in and without waiting for the salute, Zhu Jun asked in a slight manner: "How many warships have been produced in the Ming Dynasty dock now?"

It has been half a year since the Europeans placed orders. Although countries have paid deposits, they have never come to pick up goods due to war. The Ming Dynasty docks only care about creating warships in a crazy way. Therefore, there are many lands in the docks. Yang Side hurriedly said: "There are 87 large ships in total, and there are supply ships and several medium-sized large ships."

Zhu Jun issued an order: "Let the craftsmen work day and night, and how much they can drive out."

Then he turned around and said to the messengers: "Hundreds of warships have been built in my dock. It is enough to form a new fleet. But if countries want to re-arm, they need to send their own sailors and sailors to receive them. If there is not enough manpower, I can send a powerful brigade to hire you. As for the ship payment, I owe it for the time being."

The four special envoys were depressed again. Most of the best sailors and sailors were either killed in battle or captured. Moreover, the Dutch blocked the sea surface. Where can they send people to accept it? Or the French had a way: "We can return to our country to recruit pirates. Let the pirates break out of the blockade. Let them take care of the sailors and sailors from the Ming Dynasty. It should be enough."

The rest of the envoys immediately came to interest. Especially the British. Britain suffered the most serious losses in the naval battle. Moreover, it was an island country. Dutch warships blocked for one day. The losses were self-evident.

The solution was found. The four envoys bid farewell to Zhu Jun. They returned to the Wanguo Pavilion and started discussing again. It is a good idea to recruit pirates to receive warships. The pirates are experienced and very brave in combat. Moreover, there are not a few pirates in the four countries. Almost every port city has dozens or hundreds of people. After all, pirates are just making a living in Europe. Many people have been engaged in this industry. As long as they issue a recruitment order, they can become qualified sailors after simple training. But the Dutch blocked the coast. If they want to break out of the siege and receive warships, they still need some consideration.

Two days later, the four envoys finally reached an agreement. Their idea was to let all pirates break out on pirate ships or merchant ships while dark, and then meet in the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Kingdom of Sardinia is located in southern Europe and is one of the largest islands in the Mediterranean. The Netherlands and other countries do not have strong influence on the land here, nor do they send fleets to blockade the Kingdom of Sardinia. As long as the pirates arrive in Sardinia, even if they are safe, here, the pirates can gather together for training. On the other side, the new ships are from the alliance to the Ming Dynasty's mercenary sailors. As long as the warships merge with the pirates in Sardinia, the alliance will have a warable naval strength. Although it cannot overwhelm the Dutch alliance fleet, it is still more than enough to protect the coastline.

After the special envoys agreed, they met Zhu Jun again. After hearing the opinions of the four people, Zhu Jun thought this method.

On the surface, this plan is perfect, but it is natural that the dangers of getting pirates out of the Dutch army and rushing out of the coastline are difficult to predict. In addition, if the plan is successful, all countries must be coordinated, otherwise it will inevitably fail. However, there is no way. Zhu Jun had no plans to send a navy to Europe to fight. It is good to send some sailors to consultants and mercenaries appropriately. After all, Europe is thousands of miles away, and the risk of sending a navy is extremely high. The Ming Navy can defeat the Dutch in Southeast Asia, but when he goes to Europe, he may only be beaten by the Dutch. This is a factor of geographical advantage.

Once the Ming Navy was defeated in Europe, the myth in the eyes of the Anti-Dutch Alliance was shattered, who would have the confidence to continue? Therefore, as long as the Ming Dynasty still maintains support for the Anti-Dutch Alliance and stay in the back to control it remotely, the safest way is.

Zhu Jun expressed his support for this plan and specially brought four ambassadors to visit the Ming Dynasty docks. There are more than 40 docks now. On the other side of the bay, many docks are breaking ground. This time, Zhu Jun has invested his old capital. The anti-Dutch alliance won the victory, and the ship payments purchased by these countries can make a lot of money. However, once they fail, the Ming Dynasty will lose the entire Europe, and the ship payments owed by these countries will not be taken back.

The ambassadors were worried at first, but when they saw such a large dock, they felt confident that with the production capacity of the Ming Dynasty, it would be no problem to form a huge fleet in half a year. With these continuous support, all countries would be able to train sailors continuously. Just like cheaters were activated in the game, they could not be killed no matter how they fought. As long as they survived the war, the robbers could plunder the rich countries of the Netherlands and Portugal. By that time, all the capital would be back.

Zhu Jun pointed his heroic fingers at the docks extending to the end of his sight, cheering the envoys: "There are as many warships as you want in your country, and I can make as many Dutch warships as you want. No matter how many Dutch warships there are, if they continue to consume for a long time, they will sooner or later be defeated."

The ambassadors agreed, knowing that this was a protracted war and also had the confidence to win. Now they are trapped in the quagmire of war. If they want to make a comeback, they have to fight to the death and take the losses from the enemy country.

The next day.

More than 80 new ships filled with artillery and supplies, more than 20 medium-sized warships and more than 50 supply ships officially went out to sea. Last year, Mubai, Mubai, opened his tired eyes, kept reviewing the accounts, warships, artillery, and supplies. These must be counted. The total amount was 5.5 million taels. The four special envoys respectively used their own country to cover the debts of the four countries to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there were 5,000 sailors employed to the four countries. These high salary was also paid by the four countries. Zhou Mubai looked at the bill and couldn't help but feel a little painful. Throughout history, there has never been a matter of paying for other countries. If people are lying to pay back the debt and these Western barbarians are thousands of miles away, how should they ask for it?

The four special envoys boarded the boat with great enthusiasm, stood on the side of the ship, waved goodbye to Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai pretended not to see it. This time he was ordered to send these special envoys, which made him very uncomfortable. When the fleet began to anchor and sail, hundreds of large and small warships slowly sailed out of the military port. Zhou Mubai only had a dark face to let the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Rites return home. A few months ago, he inspected Jiangnan and the southwest provinces. The construction of the development zones has its own importance. For example, the development zones in Jiangnan are extremely lively, although only

After one year of construction, there were many merchants, and a continuous workshop was built. Although the development zones in the southwest provinces were built early, there was still not much improvement. This was also determined by geography. Zhou Mubai was a good wife and couldn't handle it. He could only do anything. When he returned to Haidu, the emperor saw that he had lost too much weight recently, so he gave him some vacation rest. Zhou Mubai, who is now unable to stay, runs to Haidu Development Zone every day. Now he has received such a job, which really makes him depressed.

After waiting for the port, there was a carriage from the mansion waiting by the road. Zhou Mubai bowed goodbye to several officials of the Ministry of Rites and was about to help the shaft get on the car, but unexpectedly, a man came from a distance on a fast horse. Zhou Mubai couldn't help but look up and looked at it again. He felt anger again. In broad daylight, there were people on the bustling streets who dared to ride fast horses. Who was this? He didn't even abide by the rules. It didn't matter. After seeing it, Zhou Mubai couldn't help but stop getting on the car, and the servants who were helping him were stunned.

The person riding a horse was getting closer and closer. The person came was a little eunuch in a navy blue robe. He seemed to be carrying yellow silk behind him. He also saw Zhou Mubai from afar and quickly opened his voice: "It's Lord Zhou, please stay."
