"Longjiang Bao Shipyard?"

Ma Shiying looked stunned and asked: "Longjiang Bao Shipyard is going to be abandoned, for decades, almost no ships have been built, so what's the matter?" What's more, Longjiang Bao Shipyard is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and it doesn't match the two of us......"

"Master Ma, you're wrong!"

Xu Hongji replied: "Maybe Longjiang Bao Shipyard was not a good thing before, but now it is different, Zhu Jie has come to Nanjing, then the current Longjiang Bao Shipyard is a place to fight, which is closely ......linked to our interests."

"Wei Guogong, what does this mean?"

Ma Shiying asked suspiciously.

Xu Hongji smiled and immediately replied: "Master Ma, you are far away in Fengyang, although you have heard about what happened in Nanjing, but the details are not clear, right?" All of our nobles want to meet Zhu Jie, fight to the death, and even take more than a dozen noble lives for this, for what? Definitely not as simple as you think it is a military power struggle of the Fourteenth Guard of Nanjing......"

Ma Shiying raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it for that to make Nanjing City bleed?" ”

"It's simple,"

Xu Hongji said in a deep voice: "Zhu Jie not only wants to control the military power of the Fourteenth Guard in Nanjing, but also wants to get involved in the military power of the Dongting Lake Water Division, trying to move the Dongting Lake Water Division to Nanjing, through the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, to reproduce the peak glory of the Ming Empire's water division, and after that, it is to control the overseas trade of the entire Ming Dynasty. To be really, isn't it just to get promoted and get rich? Overseas trade, lucrative, every year tens of millions of taels of silver from overseas into the Ming Dynasty, this is a white flower, our Jiangnan these noble families, these wealthy businessmen are not relying on these to make a fortune, amassing money? This Zhu Jie is going to cut off our financial resources......"

Ma Shiying was really shocked, he didn't expect that this Zhu Jie would have such great ambitions, what did he want to do? Control of the entire overseas trade? This is the dish on Zheng Zhilong's plate, and he wants to compete with Zheng Zhilong's sailor in the South Seas just by relying on a tattered Dongting Lake sailor? Isn't that too unrealistic?

"Wei Guogong? Is this possible? Don't say that one Dongting Lake sailor, even if it is ten Dongting Lake sailors, it may not be Zheng Zhilong's opponent, Zheng Zhilong has been crisscrossing the coast for twenty years, who is his opponent? This, this Zhu Jie wants to monopolize overseas trade with the Dongting Lake Water Division? This is undoubtedly whimsical......"

Ma Shiying was shocked.

Xu Hongji sneered: "Of course, if it is just one Zhu Jie, it may not be able to break Zheng Zhilong's strong position in overseas trade, but what if, what if the emperor is also involved?" The emperor stretched his hand into the pool of overseas trade with the dignity of the ninety-five, can that Zheng Zhilong still be able to withstand it? Not necessarily, right? Now, all the information of Zheng He's voyage to the West hidden in Wenyuan Pavilion has been taken out by Zhu Jie and stored in Longjiang Bao Shipyard, Zhu Jie has ordered before he left office to mobilize the Dongting Lake Water Division, and in a few days, the Dongting Lake Water Division will come to Nanjing, if Zhu Jie is in charge of the Water Division, and then he wants to take the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, there is Zhu Jie instigating and planning below, and the emperor is supporting him, when the time comes, what will the situation be, but it is really not good......

Ma Shiying's brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wei Guogong, to tell the truth, almost all of us have our own industries in our families, and as long as we are wang clans, we are all inextricably linked with this overseas trade, does this Zhu Jie really dare to risk the world's condemnation?" The imperial court has been trying to restore the court and open the sea ban since a hundred years ago, but who has done it, won't we still let us go back? This time, I'm afraid that Zhu Jie is only afraid that it will be in vain, right? What's more, even if the current Dongting Lake Sailor arrives in Nanjing, it will be at the mercy of the three of us, and it has nothing to do with him Zhu Jie, if he wants to order the Dongting Lake Sailor, he has to be able to order, unless the three of us are dead! ”

In Ma Shiying's view, Zhu Jie now has no military power, even if he still maintains a certain influence on the three towns of Nanjing, but for the Dongting Lake Water Division, it is a blank sheet of paper, nothing can be discussed, without military power, who will listen to him?

Xu Hongji smiled bitterly: "Master Ma, tell you a bad news, I just got the exact news, Zhu Jie has written a chapter to the imperial court, asking the emperor to let him lead the Dongting Lake Water Division in Nanjing, the emperor has just exempted him from military power, this time he has such a request, judging from the emperor's character, it is very likely that the emperor will hand over the Dongting Lake Water Division to Zhu Jie, after all, the influence of the water division is far less than that of the infantry, and the courtiers can't put too many beaks......"

"So, we have to master the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard first?"

Ma Shiying groaned.

"Yes, you must master the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard!"

Xu Hongji said firmly.

Ma Shiying hesitated: "However, after all, Zhu Jie is in charge of all the affairs of Nanzhili, and Longjiang Bao Shipyard is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, so naturally it has the leading power, where can we influence it?" ”

Xu Hongji said in a gloomy voice: "There are two ways, one is to find a way to get the Longjiang Bao Shipyard from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of War, and the other is to mix sand into the Longjiang Bao Shipyard for him!" After all, the Ministry of Industry is not Zhu Jie, on the issue of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, the Ministry of Industry has the greatest right to speak, we must win the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Longting Khan, as long as there is the support of Long Ting Khan, then things will be much easier......"

Ma Shiying shook his head and replied: "The first method is not feasible, the emperor will never put the Longjiang Bao Shipyard from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of War, this is not in line with the etiquette system, even in the court, we will not get much support; The second way, you can try it, but I don't know how Long Ting Khan is......"

Xu Hongji said with a smile: "No matter what he does, during this period of time, Zhu Jie frequently interfered in the affairs of Longjiang Bao Shipyard and other treasurers of the Ministry of Industry, and this Longting Khan was about to be squeezed to death, where does he still have the prestige of the Ministry of Industry?" was suppressed by Zhu Jie, he complained in private more than once, but, in view of Zhu Jie's strength, he could only dare to be angry. Now that Zhu Jie is a tree is scattered, without the power of the army as a backing, embattled, I think at this time we will make a move and bring Long Ting Khan over, there should be no problem, as long as Long Ting Khan stands with us and the three of us support him, then Zhu Jie will not be able to control Longjiang Bao Shipyard! ”
