Chapter 460 Killing monkeys to warn chickens is very important
Xiao Hua and Marshall finally calmed down a little - just because Hamis wanted to target Ming merchants, the entire Benghazi was slaughtered into a piece of white land. Not only did the Benghazi people who survived by chance became laborers, but even the Hamis and his son who caused all this were caught out of the cave and drowned in the cessation pit.
Seeing Xiaohua and Marshall calm down, Howard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Listen, we still need to ask for assistance from the Ming army. Now is not a good time to offend the Ming people."
The expression on Xiaohua's face was gloomy and clear. After a while, he snorted coldly: "Mr. Howard, if those short-lived men were instructed by the Ming people, is it useful to ask for help from the Ming people?"
Howard also snorted coldly and said, "Listen, the Ming army at Xiaohua's Chennai military base is far more terrifying than those short sluts! Now it is just a war between us and short sluts. Even if we can't defeat those short sluts, we can still hold them back. If we pull the Ming army into the water..."
Xiao Hua suddenly interrupted Howard's long speech: "Mr. Howard, you should know that the army of the Ming people have always claimed that they are the guardian gods of the civilians of the Ming country. If they don't care about the lives and death of the Ming people, then let them do it. Anyway, the final result will not be any different - or, are you sure to hold those short men?"
Howard suddenly fell into silence.
As Luo Hong, the leader of the Ming military base in Chennai, said: Those people from the East India Company in England are not so much military, but rather a group of outlaws for money. Even though they know that kidnapping Ming merchants would offend Ming, they would even face the pursuit of the Ming army by the Ming army forever, but that is after all, it is a future matter. What is more important now is how to deal with those short sluts like mad dogs.
It was not until a while later that Howard shook his head weakly and sighed: "Then do what you said. It's impossible to be worse than the current situation anyway."
However, Howard's voice had just fallen, but the attendant outside the door hurriedly pushed the door in, walked to Howard and whispered: "Mr. Howard, the Ming commander of the Chennai military base has sent someone to ask to pick up all the merchants in Sri Lanka."
Howard was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly and said to Xiaohua's Lai: "Facts have proved that you are right - the Ming people asked to pick up all their merchants in Sri Lanka."
Xiao Hua Laishi took a deep breath and said with a ferocious expression: "Now Sri Lanka is still in our hands, so it is up to us to let them take away the Ming merchants."
The attendant who came to report the message frowned and said, "Mr. Xiaohua, I have to remind you that the Ming people did not just send people to send messages, but sent a complete fleet to pick up their merchants - eight warships and a troop transport ship, which even exceeded the number of Ming people's warships in Chennai."
Xiaohua was stunned when he came to Squad.
The troops in the Chennai military base are not secret. Even Xiaohua Lai in Sri Lanka knows that the Ming Dynasty only had two warships and one troop transport ship in the Chennai military base.
So, what happened to the six additional warships?
If it was transferred from a nearby Pune military base or a relatively far old port military base...
Does that just mean that the Ming people have long been planning actions against Sri Lanka?
Xiao Hua became more and more angry as he thought about it. Just as he was about to say something, Howard asked the attendant first: "Do they say anything else?"
The attendant said, "They said they were not interested in the conflict between England and Japan. They would not interfere with the affairs between us and the Japanese short-skinned men except to pick up Ming merchants."
Howard nodded and sighed, "You go and tell the Ming people, just say I agree to them pick up the Ming people, the condition is that they cannot interfere in the matter between us and the short-skinned ones, go."
After the attendant left, Howard turned his head and said to Xiaohua and Marshall: "Don't think about using Mingguo merchants as shields."
Xiao Hua was furious when he came to Squad, staring at Howard viciously and said, "If you hadn't allowed them to pick up Mingguo merchants, those Mingguo merchants would still be our shield!"
Howard was also furious and asked back, "Can you guarantee that you will definitely catch those Ming merchants? At that time, Hamis thought he could catch those Ming merchants in Benghazi, but the final result? Just those Ming merchants and their employers caused a whole Benghazi chaos. The Ming army in Benghazi military base was not only to open the city gates of Benghazi, but the rest was to arrest laborers!"
After Howard said this, Xiao Hua and Marshall were also deflated.
In fact, Xiao Hua Lai Shi also knew in his heart that Ming Dynasty merchants were not the same as English merchants. English merchants would be unconsciously afraid when they saw the East India Company, but those Ming Dynasty merchants didn't care about the East India Company at all. Even if they could catch those Ming Dynasty merchants, they didn't know how much the price they would have to pay.
Xiao Hua became more and more angry as he thought about it. Zeng stood up with a sound, kicked the stool behind him, and said while walking out, "I'll call up those damn miners."
Howard did not pursue Xiao Hua's rude behavior, but said to Marshall: "You don't need to think about asking for help from the Ming army. You should find a way to notify His Majesty George III."
After Marshall nodded and responded, Howard whispered again: "Prepare the fastest ship. If... if the situation is really bad, we will hurry up and leave."
...
Just as Howard and Marshall were discussing the matter of running away with the bucket, Emperor Zhu was already thinking about the next itinerary.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Emperor Zhu stayed at the Chennai military base these days was entirely for the fleet he brought to cooperate with the warships from the Chennai military base to go to Sri Lanka to pick up the Ming people.
As for the destruction between England and the sluts, it seems to Emperor Zhu that it is really not worth mentioning - whether it is the rose beef in England or the sluts in Japan, there is no good thing on both sides. It is best to fight for both sides. It would be better if they all die.
After thinking about it secretly, Emperor Zhu simply smiled and ordered Zhu Jianying, "Okay, let them go about the mess between England and the short-skinned man. We both can't waste all our time on this."
Zhu Jianwen was stunned and asked immediately: "Don't you care about the matter in Sri Lanka?"
Emperor Zhu said with a hunch, "What else? Let those short sluts attack Sri Lanka is just to attract the English army. After the English army arrives in Sri Lanka, it is time for our Ming Dynasty to kill monkeys and chickens."
Zhu Jianwen nodded and then asked, "Then where are we going next? Go to Ottoman?"
Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's Ottoman. Don't look down on the Ottomans if they are not big. What Ottomans lack the least is oil. The oil in our Ming Dynasty now basically relies on Ottomans."
Zhu Jianwen suddenly didn't know what to say.
Do you look down on the Ottomans?
No!
All of this is your own feeling, right?
Emperor Zhu continued, "By the way, we still remember something. Speaking of which a few years ago, wasn't the first time Ottoman sent someone to our Ming Dynasty to attend that sports meeting?"
Zhu Jianwen nodded and said, "It's true that Ottoman has participated in many events, but his best result is to get a bronze medal."
Emperor Zhu smiled and said, "We don't care what medals he won. What we want to talk about is their Cuju - it is said that before their Cuju team officially competed with our Ming Cuju team, they also specifically studied how to lose to our Ming Cuju team, but they still failed to lose."
Zhu Jianweng said with a hunch, "My son also heard about this. It is said that the people who were in charge of Cuju competition were furious after returning and slapped the people from their Cuju team one by one."
Speaking of this, Zhu Jianying couldn't help but sigh: "Our Ming Dynasty's Cuju team is really not good, and it can't even win the Ottoman."
Emperor Zhu chuckled and said, "If our Ming Dynasty Cuju team wants to win, it is actually very simple - first allocate an area to Antarctica, and then allocate our Ming Dynasty Cuju team to the Antarctic Division. At that time, as long as our Ming Dynasty Cuju team tied the penguins away, they could qualify. Next, set the home court in the Jiaozhi Administrator's Office or Benghazi, which will kill the penguins. Of course, how to tie the penguins is also a problem."
Zhu Jianyou fell into silence again, because Zhu Jianyou always felt that he could not keep up with his father's brain circuit - he was talking about the Ottoman, how could he get involved in Antarctic penguins? And how did he get involved in the Ming Cuju team falling out?
After thinking for a long time, I didn't think about it. Zhu Jianwen simply stopped thinking about it, but turned the topic back to Ottoman: "Dad, do you want to give Ottoman a sweet date this time? Just slapping him with a big mouth is not a big deal?"
Emperor Zhu, who was thinking about how to establish the Antarctic Cuju competition zone with justification, was interrupted by Zhu Jianyou, and immediately scolded with an unhappy face: "What sweet dates are given to? Your sweet dates were picked up for free on the road? Let's listen to us. The barbarians fear power but are not virtuous. Before you can get rid of them honestly, you can't think about any sweet dates or not."
"Besides, what is Ottoman? Do you still remember the name of the dog you sent to third uncle? Husky, that thing is two-six? This Ottoman is just like that Husky!"
"If you give them a little good face, they will feel that you are afraid of them, and they will regard you as Kaffier who should go to the fire, but if you slapped him hard, they will be honest and obedient."
Zhu Jianwen's face was full of disbelief.
As the eldest prince of the Ming Empire, Zhu Jianyou didn’t know that Ottoman produced a lot of oil, nor did he know that Ottoman always did something wrong, but Zhu Jianyou didn’t expect that Ottoman actually had the problem of not getting a lottery?
Damn, what is the difference between this and the legendary Qing Dynasty?
Looking at Zhu Jianying, who was confused, Emperor Zhu simply laughed and said, "Okay, when the Ottoman has time to study it slowly. Now you can think about it carefully. What should we do after teaching the Ottoman lesson?"
Zhu Jianwen secretly thought about it and replied: "Of course we are attacking England. Didn't you just say that you want to use this monkey in England to warn the chicken."
Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, asking, "What about it?"
Zhu Jianwen said with a confused look: "Of course, we will let the military bases in Old Port and Pune be dispatched, teach the English army a lesson in Sri Lanka, and then let the garrisons from the Lanfang Administrators go straight to New South Wales. When England proposes peace talks, we will ask England to cede New South Wales to us."
Emperor Zhu laughed: "Isn't it superficial? We have told you a long time ago that not only fights, kills, but also needs to be considered for human accidents - you just use force to suppress England is just a temporary solution, and it is not a one-time solution."
Zhu Jianwen was even more confused.
Because in addition to defeating England by force, the Ming Dynasty has always used the remaining methods such as culture, economy, etc., but judging from the current results, it seems that no way can achieve a one-time and for all effect?
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianyou simply scratched his head and asked, "What should you do if you say?"
Emperor Zhu reached out to grab the globe, and gestured on the globe, saying, "Our Ming army wants to beat England, except for using Sri Lanka to lure England's army, they can only go around the cape of good hope and make a big circle to reach England."
"If we build a canal here, we can go to the Cape of Good Hope without having to go through the line between Xikunlun and Ottoman, and it will be much more convenient to beat people to Europa in the future."
Zhu Jianwen shook his head and said, "There are quite a few workers who need to be mobilized here, and the amount of money they need to be spent is even more. It is absolutely impossible for Liu Butang to approve such a large budget."
Emperor Zhu laughed and said, "We won't pay back the Ming Dynasty Treasury. Do you need his approval from Mr. Liu?"
Zhu Jianwen was stunned and asked, "If you don't spend the money from the Ming Dynasty treasury, who will spend it?"
Chapter completed!
