Chapter 786 Change to a more direct method!
Emperor Chongzhen saw that Wang Guoxing's expression was subtle, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Most of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were waste, which is undeniable, but most of the waste had been slowly cleared out of the noble class by Emperor Chongzhen, and most of the remaining ones were the kind that could come in handy.
Liu Wenbing is naturally one of them. In addition to the identity of Emperor Chongzhen's cousin, Liu Wenbing's own abilities should not be underestimated.
When it comes to overall command, Liu Wenbing naturally cannot compare to Zhang Zhiji. When it comes to personal bravery, Liu Wenbing cannot compare to a ruthless person like Fang Zhenghua.
However, just like a programmer who writes novels the most successful, a server writer who plays the most powerful, and a mudslide with the best code among server players, Liu Wenbing's development direction is very comprehensive.
Zhang Zhiji's literary talent is not as good as Liu Wenbing's. Founder Zhenghua's ability to command the army is not as good as Liu Wenbing's high. Except for the civil servants who cannot choose Lu Xiangsheng who is better than Liu Wenbing.
However, even Lu Xiangsheng, the cabinet chief assistant who obviously deviated from a certain level, could not beat Liu Wenbing in terms of vicious plot.
Nothing else, except that Lu Xiangsheng has a higher military power than Liu Wenbing, his literary talent is better than Liu Wenbing. The rest of the aspects are actually infinitely close to Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the previous few pavilions.
In general, there are still some gentlemen who have not lost their moral integrity. This is why Emperor Chongzhen chose Wen Tiren and Lu Xiang to be promoted to the two cabinet chiefs.
However, Liu Wenbing didn't care about anything that was not a gentleman. As for what kind of moral integrity, he threw it to Yihonglou Yihongyuan and other places early.
Now when Wang Guoxing asked about Liu Wenbing, his expression was so subtle. Maybe Liu Wenbing did something sexy in England.
After considering it, Wang Guoxing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the first envoy sent by Charles I was shot down before he even saw the face of Xinlehou.
As for the second wave of envoys sent by Charles I and Cromwell, they both successfully met Xinlehou, but the treatment of the two families was completely different."
After saying oh, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and listened to Wang Guoxing continue to talk.
Wang Guoxing said: "The first person whom Xinlehou met was the envoy sent by Cromwell. Regarding Cromwell's proposal to hire the Suez Canal Fleet, Xinlehou directly rejected Cromwell's proposal to hire the Suez Canal Fleet and put forward several requirements at the same time.
The first point is to ask Cromwell to immediately release the imprisoned little Ellis and the two Ming merchants and entourages. The second point is to ask Cromwell to compensate for all military expenses for this expedition and to ced the South Cape Town to serve as a military base for the Ming Dynasty.
As for Charles I, Xinlehou said that Charles I had no image of a man, and was in a state of no way, so there was such a big trouble. The Suez Canal Fleet destroyed Cromwell and helped Charles I, so he also put forward the above three requirements for Charles I.
According to current news, Cromwell will not agree to Liu Hou’s request. The final bottom line is to release the person and pay compensation, but it is impossible to cede the land.
The news from Charles I was that Charles I was likely to agree to all the requests of Liu Hou, that is, to quell Cromwell, compensate for military losses, and ced the port to the Ming Dynasty as a military base."
With a puff, Emperor Chongzhen sprayed out the tea that had just been drunk in his mouth.
Two hundred years later in the original history, there was an old and immortal Lao Fu in China in the Far East who embezzled the military funds of the navy to build a garden, an emperor who had been waiting for a long time but had not ruled, and a scribble-papered craftsman's central hall to support an old empire where foreigners came to build railways for us.
About three hundred years later, the foreigners who went to China to build railways in the Far East had an old and immortal Lord Buddha, a prince who had been waiting for a long time but still could not ascend the throne. In addition, a craftsman's central hall also supported an old civilian empire that was built by the Chinese and foreigners to build railways for us.
However, the current situation is that two or three hundred years ahead of schedule, the ancestors of the British Empire began to play the advanced gameplay of cede land and paying compensation for Jiawaining and friendly countries without giving domestic slaves.
After taking the handkerchief handed over by Wang Encheng and wiped his mouth, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What about?"
Wang Guoxing's face suddenly became more subtle: "Now Cromwell and Charles I both publicly accused each other, and both sides were about to break out, and the Hou Liu had led his troops to retreat 30 miles and gave up all the ports and land.
Mr. Liu sent envoys to Cromwell and Charles I, saying that he would only negotiate with the masters of England, and the current situation was not suitable for negotiations at all.
For this purpose, both Cromwell and Charles I borrowed a large amount of loans from France as military expenses, and then purchased a large amount of arms from Liu Hou respectively."
Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Zhiji looked at each other, and they couldn't help but secretly admire Liu Wenbing for being more playful than him, a time traveler.
Now that the England war is together, both sides are English barbarians, which must have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. However, the fleet led by Liu Wenbing is cruising on the sea in England, forcing Cromwell and Charles I to go to war, which is definitely to suppress people with the general trend.
Regardless of the final battle, whether Cromwell wins or Charles I wins, the Ming Dynasty, not England, is naturally the one who gains the most.
The reason is very simple. Both sides have to fight, because if they don’t fight, they will face attacks from the Ming fleet. The arms consumption after the battle will be astronomical. Both sides have to buy arms from Liu Wenbing.
Then there were prisoners of war from both sides. In order to obtain arms supply, both sides had to sell the prisoners in their hands to Liu Wenbing, but these prisoners were still the barbarians of England.
With Liu Wenbing playing like this, the Ming Dynasty could earn money from arms while obtaining a large amount of labor from England, and basically no other cost was required.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since England is in chaos now, why not wait a little longer? Once you have enough time, you will have more ammunition and supplies, and you will also make England more in chaos?"
Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "What are you waiting for? If you didn't plan to expedition to England, it would be fine. Now that you have come, can you still go back empty-handed?
According to the original plan of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, we will continue to assemble various garrisons and fleets and go to England as scheduled. This time I will order London with my own hands!"
Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's statement that he wanted to nod London with his own hands, Zhang Zhiji just nodded gently and agreed.
For the Governor's Office and the Cabinet of the Five Army, things have reached this point, and there is basically no possibility of any change. I hope that Emperor Chongzhen will suddenly be kind and return to the capital?
It is impossible to think about it with your heels. It is better to honestly follow the wishes of Emperor Chongzhen and ask him to order London, just as the fireworks party to celebrate the 22nd year of Chongzhen.
According to Emperor Chongzhen's usual style, after ordering London this time, he could stay in the capital for a few years at least.
Although this time may not exceed three years, at least it will last for three years. It is better than being able to stay in the capital honestly for a day!
After another silence, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "By the way, put those two bastards into the army of Shize, the child, let the three of them be together, and at least there is a way to take care of them.
As for the third brother, that little bastard let him follow me. After all, he is still too small and not suitable for going to the battlefield.
Also, when the matter in England is over and after returning to the capital, your British Duke's Mansion will start preparing for the marriage between Shize and Xueer."
After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh: "My daughter is grown up, and she still can't keep it. Staying around is a grudge.
Shize, I have been saying this for a long time. Xueer married into your Duke's Mansion, not your Duke's Princess Shang. I looked down on the same thing as before, but you can't let Xueer down, otherwise I will not spare you!"
Zhang Shize immediately bowed and said, "I, thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
After nodding, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Get up. My daughter has been spoiled since childhood. Give her more to everything. A couple will be together for a lifetime. Be harmonious and beautiful is the blessing of the family."
Zhang Shize bowed again and said respectfully: "I dare not forget your majesty's words!"
After waving his hand to order Zhang Zhiji and his son to get out, Emperor Chongzhen began to become idle himself.
In this blink of an eye, I have become my grandfather and I am about to be my grandfather again, but why do I feel that it is not much different from when I first traveled through time? Should it be the heart of a little red fan or a little red fan? A heart of a big Han dynasty has never changed.
Emperor Chongzhen was in a daze, and Liu Wenbing was in a daze, but unlike Emperor Chongzhen, he was completely confused about Little Ellis and the two Ming merchants.
Liu Wenbing originally thought that this war would sacrifice Little Ellis and the two Ming merchants, although this idea had never been mentioned to anyone.
After all, this is a war, and the most direct culprit is these three guys and their entourages. If it weren't for these people, this war wouldn't have started at this time.
To be precise, this is a wrong war because the wrong person, at a wrong time, at a wrong place, fought by two wrong players under the intervention of a wrong off-field black whistle.
Especially for Cromwell.
Liu Wenbing carefully read all the information about Cromwell, including the information provided by both the Jinyiwei and the East Factory, as well as all the relevant information provided by the East India Company. Liu Wenbing carefully read it.
Regarding Cromwell, Liu Wenbing believed that this person was definitely not a good person. Even if he was a member of the parliament, he planned to kill Charles I, Cromwell was not a good person.
At the beginning, this guy first sought peace with the Ming Dynasty, and even wanted to use his strength to hire the Suez Canal Fleet to kill Charles I for him.
When he discovered that his plan was not successful, Cromwell declared war on Charles I at the first time, not mentioning the matter between Ellis and the two Ming merchants. Instead, he kept sending people to negotiate with Liu Wenbing to discuss matters related to arms trade and other related matters.
If we simply judge from the current situation, in addition to successfully provoking the opening film of Zhang Huo on both sides of Charles I and Cromwell, Liu Wenbing's original plan to force Cromwell to release Ellis Little could be said to be completely disappointed.
Facing such an opponent, it was impossible for Liu Wenbing to say that it was not bad.
After all, Liu Wenbing's original plan was to rescue Ellis and the two Ming merchants, rather than talking about the arms trade with Cromwell.
However, these trade-related matters discussed together were obviously beneficial to the Ming Dynasty without any harm. In addition to a large amount of gold and silver, there were also a large number of laborers.
Except for Little Ellis and the two Ming merchants.
But when did you start to go astray?
What makes Liu Wenbing most troubled now is that the two Ming merchants, as well as Little Ellis, who was naturalized on the front line, are likely to be sacrificed in the end.
However, it is precisely this that makes Liu Wenbing unacceptable, otherwise it would have been a perfect military intimidation operation!
After glanced at everyone in the cabin, Liu Wenbing said, "Let's talk about it now, what should we do to deal with the matter.
I will say first, that is, Little Ellis and the two merchants must be rescued. No matter what the price is, they must be rescued, otherwise we will not be able to explain to His Majesty.
But in this arms trade, you all know how much profit and how much benefits it will be, so you have to rescue people without affecting this trade.
Now Cromwell never mentions anything about Ellis and the two merchants, and the situation has begun to develop in another direction."
Liu Xiaoyao sneered: "Cromwell is an absolute hero. It is no exaggeration to say that he is cruel and ruthless. It is precisely because of the existence of these three people that our fleet will be afraid of attacking England in full.
As for how many English civilians would die, I think it is not within the scope of Cromwell's concern.
But Cromwell doesn't care about the deaths of the common people in England, but we have to care about the life and death of Little Ellis and the two Ming merchants. This is the most troublesome thing.
However, when things have come to such a situation, there is actually a solution. Speaking of which, it depends on how determined and courageous the Marquis is?"
Liu Wenbing sneered: "Determination? Divine? When did this marquis lack that thing? Brother, please tell me directly, is there any way to get these three guys out?"
