The report was one level. After Zhao Yunjie left the Beizhen Fusiya Office, Shi Lei also left in a carriage.

Unlike the two-wheeled chaises used by most merchants, he was sitting in a four-wheeled spring carriage, and there were two attendants standing behind the carriage compartment.

Shi Lei, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but think about His Majesty's intentions while organizing the language in his heart. His Majesty obviously had other plans for Japan and Jiannu who fled to Japan from east to east, but what were his plans?

Let them kill each other?

Thinking about the past few years, under the instruction of His Majesty, he sold the guns and cannons to them by his hands. It was not a one-hundred-million tael business, but a one-hundred-million tael business. There were more than 200 Jinyiwei who specialized in this business in the Beizhen Fushi. While they were making huge profits, they of course also penetrated Jiannu and Japan into sieves.

But the problem is... this is never a long-term solution!

Even if His Majesty wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, let them bite the dog first and then talk about it for a while. But after a long time, something will inevitably happen?

For the strength of Wei Jinyiwei, its mission is to prevent all this from happening.

How can we prevent possible accidents?

With a random thought, the carriage drove into Zhengyang Gate. The streets were all over the yamen of various departments. Further forward was the Hongwu Gate that entered the imperial city. Of course, he could not walk through the Hongwu Gate. The carriage turned right from the Five Army Governor's Office, and then went to Chang'an You Street. If it were a civil servant, turn right to Zuo Street.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "special paths of literature and martial arts". Even if it is a different path, it will eventually lead to no urination in the same pot.

Entering the imperial city from the right gate of Chang'an, Shi Lei met His Majesty under the guidance of the internal officials. When His Majesty was watching the information about Japan, he stood there quietly.

Let me add that I have been using the book-chasing app recently, [app] to read books and read offline!

"So, the shogunate decided not to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty?"

Close the briefing, Zhu Guoqiang asked with a smile,

"Your Majesty, based on the information currently in hand, the shogunate is worried that after asking for help from us, the Japanese court will take the opportunity to seize power, so they once again rejected the suggestion of Daming and civil servants for help."

After pausing, Shi Lei said.

"But if your Majesty wants to use troops in this way, we can protect the concession and send troops to Nagasaki, and then slowly draw them..."

Nagasaki Ai Concession!

That was Zhu Guoqiang's proud work!

In another world, only Japan built a concession in "My Tartar Qing Dynasty", but here we built a concession in Japan. Not only did we build a concession, but there were extraterritorial legal rights and rated tariffs that were actually no tariffs at all. It was a great blessing to sell Ming goods to them. Is it possible?

Of course, we have not lost the privileges we should have!

Protect the Concession?

This seems to be a privilege, but it seems that there is no need yet.

"It's not necessary yet, but Concubine Xing has always been concerned about the situation in Japan. After all, after all, it's always her hometown. How can she not care about it?"

Concubine Xing is Xingzi, that is, Emperor Mingzheng, but even so, she still ranks the queen in the harem; after the imperial concubine, she is just the imperial concubine.

After all, he is just the emperor of the vassal state! At most, he is a mistress.

"But in my opinion, just let them bite the dog there. Isn't it just a war? Let them fight enough, and we just need to just reap the benefits!"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile,

The Qing Dynasty invaded Japan, which was simply...it was a great thing!

Is there anything better than this?

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang was also confused. On the one hand, he wanted to see the Japanese shaved their hair and change their clothes and become slaves, and he always said, "Master, I am greeting you." On the other hand, he didn't want such a group of disasters around him.

Even though I knew that "I, the Qing Dynasty", had no other skills, and had great ability to harm the slaves, I didn't want to leave this hidden danger.

It's difficult!

It’s better now, let them kill each other happily. It’s a good thing for them to bite the dog!

Not only did the silver and copper strips flow into the Ming Dynasty, but even the fellows continued to flow into the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese slaves in Southeast Asia worked hard when they worked, and the Japanese maids in the Ming Dynasty served their masters, and they were as tender as they could.

If they stopped fighting, would there be so many people selling it? How could the people of the Ming Dynasty have so many servants to use?

It's not easy to deal with!

It is indeed very difficult to deal with, but even if it is difficult, we have to find a way to keep fighting. Only when they continue to fight can Daming benefit from it.

Let's do this for now.

"In short, the purpose of selling weapons to them is not to let them defeat them, but to let them continue to fight. The more they fight, the more beneficial it will be to us..."

Zhu Guoqiang casually stated that the Ming Dynasty's future policy to the East China. What is this policy? In short, you beat you, I will do my business, and earn your money. When your money is almost the same, the meat is eaten up, the bones are smashed, and then it is not too late to turn back and clean up you.

"Your Majesty, Jiannu has always wanted to buy our rifled guns at a high price, and the same goes for the Japanese. But this is our weapon to defeat the enemy. I am worried that if we don't sell it, will there be any profiteering merchants colluding to sell the rifled guns to them?"

Shi Lei's worries made Zhu Guoqiang nod.

"Well, there is indeed this possibility."

What do I believe most in the Qing Dynasty?

Foreign guns and cannons.

They are now willing to spend a high price to buy Ming guns and cannons, isn’t they just because they have taken advantage of the battlefield?

However, guns and cannons sold to the Qing Dynasty and Japan have always adhered to one principle, which is to be relatively backward. For example, the barrels of muskets are all well-made, while those used by the Ming army themselves are all steel barrels. In addition, the performance of the cannons is also relatively backward.

But such restrictions will definitely be broken, especially with so many profiteers involved, these people... there is a country in their eyes!

Could it be that this is what is called "arms merchants who do not sell weapons to the enemy are not good arms dealers."

He is truly a group of capitalists!

What’s more important is that the government has no way to stop it, because the Ming Dynasty not only has an official arsenal, but also a private one. Immigrants in the Northeast can buy muskets freely. The price is extremely cheap, only a few more than three taels... Of course, this kind of musket is all smooth-bore and mature iron barrel, and its appearance is similar to the brown besse flintlock musket. In fact, it is simply why I chose it because it is cheap enough!

The ex-factory price of a private gun factory is even less than two taels, which is too cheap?

That is, the cost of the bird gun is similar. Why is it so cheap? Because the iron is cheap, the official iron plants such as Dalian, Zunhua, Liguoyi, and Nanjing that use blast furnace iron smelting and iron stirring furnaces to make cooked iron are sold for less than ten taels of silver dollars per ton of cooked iron, which is no less than ten times cheaper than in the past, and the cost naturally decreases a lot.

It is precisely because muskets are cheap that they become the standard for immigrants. As for those military households, who don’t have three or five people at home, they are embarrassed to say hello to others when they go out.

This is true in the Northeast and in the South China Sea. Immigrants equip their weapons to prevent native attacks. Unless an order is issued to prohibit privately building possessed muskets, smuggling is inevitable.

Sooner or later, private factories will understand the secret of rifling. In fact, rifling is not a secret. After all, the Liao Thirteenth Style has long been popularized, and it has even flowed to the Qing Dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, everything has been lacking, but there has been no lack of profiteers. Those capitalists can't do anything for a little money?

There is nothing they can't do. Nothing, something they dare not sell.

As long as someone offers enough prices, they will definitely try their best to meet the requirements of those funders.

The manufacturing of rifled rifles is indeed quite complicated, but to put it bluntly, there are some core secrets, and I have to say anything. I am afraid that it is the rifled bed. Even so, the technology of that thing is not complicated. In fact, it is just a few pieces of iron and wood. If someone pays a lot of money to find the right person, he can really get it.

Things have become a little tricky!

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang asked.
