Tianjin Wei.

Although the overseas plan is very important, although Tianjin Wei is on the side, if it is fast, it is only two or three days away, but Guo Dan is still the second time to come here.

And the reason is very simple, that is, he believes that at this stage, the key is still internal production, because they do not yet have the conditions to go to sea.

Unfortunately, this plan can never catch up with the changes.

After all, he was just a businessman, and he couldn't have imagined that because Tianjin Wei opened the port, the Spaniards would target the Penghu area.

This is self-defeating!

Coming to the territory of Luwangfu again, it is much more lively than the first return.

But it's very singular.

As soon as I entered the territory of Luwangfu, at a glance, it was full of warehouses, and the road was full of donkey carts full of goods.

However, this warehouse complex is like a wall, separating the port from the outside world.

......

"This uncle, who are you?"

"Stinky boy, even the old man dares to tease."

"Oops! It turned out to be Mr. Xu, wow... Mr. Xu, you are much more handsome than before. ”

Of course, this is a lie, but Xu Wei in front of him really shocked Guo Dan.

I saw that Xu Wei was wearing a very clean Confucian shirt, his sparse hair was blown into a small ball on the top of his head, and his beard was neatly combed, although there was not much left.

"Laugh if you want." Xu Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "The old man has quit drinking." ”

"Ring... On the wagon? ”

Guo Dan was shocked, Xu Wei, who has always been a heavy drinker, actually quit drinking?

This is stimulated by something.

Seriously, Guo Dan really doesn't mind Xu Wei drinking, after all, he is a big artist, and a big artist will definitely have crazy genes in his bones, it has been the same throughout the ages, this is not crazy or not a demon, it is impossible to become an artist with a calm personality like him.

Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled: "Because the old man found something more interesting than wine, this wine naturally became tasteless." ”

"Really?"

Guo nodded with a smile and said, "The juniors understand." He asked again, "Why don't you see Mr. Shen?" ”

Xu Wei said: "He is entertaining a guest of honor below, and the old man has already asked people to invite him." ”

While communicating, the two entered the palace of King Lu.

When he came to the hall, Guo Dan told Xu Wei about the situation on Luzon Island.

Xu Wei frowned slightly, and said, "But we can't afford to go and compete with the Francois for Penghu now." ”

"I know."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have already informed Your Majesty of this matter, if it really can't be done, I can only find a way to let the imperial court send troops, but... But I wasn't willing to let the imperial court intervene in overseas wars, so I came over to see if there was any other way. ”

Xu Wei laughed and said, "The imperial court may not be able to send troops. ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Xu Wei smiled: "I originally had bad news for you, but now it seems that it may be even worse news." ”

Guo Dan was curious: "What's worse news?" ”

Xu Wei said: "According to the news from Shen Weijing, Japan may invade Korea, and invade our Ming Dynasty in the near future. ”

"What?"

Guo Dan's face was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this news reliable?" ”

Xu Wei nodded and said: "It should be very reliable, first of all, the news from Langzhong, he heard the news when he was helping a very powerful person in Japan to see a doctor, but then Li Dan and they confirmed that Japan is mobilizing a large amount of grain and grass to hoard in the port, if you don't cross the sea to fight, it is impossible to hoard so much grain in the port." ”

Yes! One of the three major expeditions of Wanli was to fight Japan in Korea. In the end, what is the order of the three major expeditions, which is to fight Japan first? Or do you want to fight with the southwest first? Or at the same time? Nima! If I had known this, I should not have stimulated the situation in the southwest, these two sides would go to war at the same time, no, if Penghu was added, the three sides would go to war together, oh my God! Then I'll go and jump into the sea, Lao Tzu should really study liberal arts, God, can you give me a history book of original intentions.

Guo Dan really wanted to die, he only knew that there were the three major expeditions of Wanli, but he didn't know anything about the specific year, and said: "Old man, I really messed up this time." ”

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with you. ”

"It may not be that simple."

Guo Dan sighed heavily, and briefly told Xu Wei about his instigation of the emperor to send troops to the southwest, and said with tears in his eyes: "This time it's good, if there is a change in the northeast, then the situation in the southwest will become completely uncontrollable, and the strategy of stimulating Yang Yinglong may be self-defeating." ”

Once the Ming Dynasty and Japan started a war in Korea, Yang Yinglong may really fight, if the Ming Dynasty falls into a two-sided war, whether it wins or not, the newly recovered economy may also be defeated, and this war, the imperial court will definitely desperately collect taxes.

This is the most terrifying thing for the economy.

Xu Wei laughed when he heard this, pointed at Guo Dan and said, "You kid really deserve it!" ”

Wow! The old man had no sympathy at all. Guo Dan looked at Xu Wei very speechlessly.

Xu Wei snorted: "You look at the old man like this, this is all your own sin, and you can't complain about it." ”

"I know."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "But if the situation really develops like this, I will really be finished." ”

Xu Wei pondered a little and said, "The old man heard that there are only thousands of Francos in Luzon. ”

Guo Dan said: "But they recruited a lot of pirates, including Japanese, Jiaozhi people, big cannibals, and so on. ”

Xu Wei said: "Even so, if they want to capture Penghu, they also need to dispatch the main force, not to say that they can take it down by sending a few pirates, we can surround Wei and save Zhao." ”

Guo Dan's eyes lit up and said, "That's right! If they come out, then Luzon must be very empty, and Luzon is their base camp, and they must not lose Luzon for the sake of Penghu. ”

After a pause, he said again: "But now there is more Japan to stir up the situation." ”

At this moment, Shen Weijing suddenly walked in, bowed, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Shen Weijing has seen Consultant Guo. ”

"Mr. Shen."

Guo Dan hurriedly got up and saluted back, and stretched out his hand again, "Mr. Shen, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you."

Shen Weijing sat down.

Guo Dan barely squeezed out a smile and said, "These days, there is really Mr. Lao Shen." ”

Shen Weijing hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you, I have to thank Advisor Guo for giving me the next opportunity." ”

Here, Xu Wei doesn't care about trade, he only cares about defense work, and everything else is under Shen Weijing's care, it is conceivable that the businessmen who come here to do business don't all have to slap him, he has changed from a gangster to a bigwig, which greatly satisfies his vanity.

Guo smiled lightly: "I have given many people opportunities, but only Mr. Shen has helped me share a lot of pressure. ”

"Where, where."

Shen Weijing was a little praised a little, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Consultant Guo, you came just in time, do you know who I am entertaining?" ”

Guo Dan frowned and said, "Who?" ”

Shen Weijing said: "A Japanese businessman named Ryugoro, but he was recognized by one of our langzhong, this person's real name is Konishi Yukicho, also known as Toyotomi Governor, and he is a major minister under the account of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese Taikotomi.

But he didn't know that we had recognized him, and we had received news that Japan might invade Korea, and when we talked to him, he always asked me about the situation of the Ming Dynasty, intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed that he had come to spy on the news. ”

Guo Dan said: "I was talking to Mr. Xu about this matter just now, and the situation may be more complicated. ”

Shen Weijing looked at Guo Dan inexplicably.

Guo Dan told Shen Weijing about Luzon again.

There is no suspicion of employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, and he can discuss with them at present.

Shen Weijing frowned when he heard this.

Even Xu Wei couldn't help but glance at him.

Could it be that he thought of something. Guo Dan couldn't help but wait patiently.

Shen Weijing didn't know it at all, after a while, he suddenly raised his head, saw Guo Dan and Xu Wei looking at him, and said in astonishment: "Why are you two looking at him like this?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "We are waiting for Mr. Shen's clever plan. ”

"Huh? Oh, there's no trick to talk about, it's just ....... ”

Shen Weijing said: "It's just that I am thinking that at present, our port is only selling goods, and it is a large number of Japanese merchants who transport goods to Luzon.

If we can unite with the Japanese to deal with the Francis, then we can defuse the crisis. ”

Guo Dan's eyes lit up and said, "Yes!" If the Japanese join us in fighting the Francos, then it will be impossible for them to invade Korea for the time being. ”

Xu Wei said suddenly: "The old man has also heard a lot about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's deeds recently, this person is in that projectile land, he can be regarded as a hero, he dares to invade my Ming Dynasty with the power of projectiles, the old man doesn't think he will look up to a Penghu!" ”

Shen Weijing said: "Then I can go to Japan to lobby that Toyotomi Hideyoshi." ”

He was agitated and fearless, and he loved this kind of big scene.

Guo Dan hesitated a little and said: "Franco is our big customer, if we really beat them away, who will we sell our goods to!" ”

Shen Weijing immediately shut himself up.

Xu Wei couldn't help but say, "You kid has a lot of requirements!" ”

Guo Dan sneered: "We are all fighting for interests, not because of deep hatred. ”

Xu Wei felt that there was nothing wrong with him, he suddenly stood up, came to the front of the overseas map hanging on the wall, stared at it for a long time, and said: "The old man has always felt that it is difficult to convince Toyotomi Hideyoshi to give up his ambition to win the Central Plains by just relying on a mouthful, and run to fight Penghu, but if you throw a piece of meat to him, it will not be necessarily." ”

"Throw him a piece of meat?"

Guo Dan stepped forward.

Xu Wei nodded and said: "Mr. Shen is very right, the Francois attack on Penghu is the greatest threat to Japanese merchants, if Japan can take Penghu without much effort, the old man believes that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will still seriously consider it." ”

Shen Weijing said: "Effortless? ”

Xu Wei said thoughtfully: "If they find out about our plan to save Zhao from Wei and Wei." ”
