"It seems that you have made our Crown Prince unhappy. He is not willing to eat such a delicious meal."
After His Royal Highness the Prince left, Dashuai Zhang said with a smile. Although he was questioning Gao Shaoyi, he did not have a questioning tone, but showed off like a winner.
"I said Mr. Zhang, it would be a bit rude of you to say that. All the people were arrested according to the orders of your Governor's Mansion. My people were just lent to you to do a favor. If you want to say
Whoever made His Highness the Crown Prince unhappy, it was you who made him unhappy."
Gao Shaoyi rolled his eyes. What Zhang Dashuai said was obviously because he got a bargain and was able to maintain the current situation in the three southern provinces. Zhang Dashuai can be said to be the biggest profiteer. Gao Shaoyi is just following along to get some benefits. If
If the imperial court's plan is really put into action, although our war will be affected, the most unlucky person will be Marshal Zhang. From the southern emperor to a prisoner, this gap is no joke.
"Okay, okay, let's stop teasing between the two of us. Didn't we talk about borrowing money last time? Recently, I have reached two loan agreements with foreigners, but those people under me are all deadbeats.
, I just asked you to come and show me."
Zhang Dashuai asked the person next to him to bring out two documents. Both documents were money borrowed in the manner of Gao Shaoyi. Of course, they were all banks opened by Western colonists.
The amounts of the two loans were not very large, one was about three million silver coins, and the other was five million silver coins, but the repayment period was more than ten years, and of course the interest rate was not as low as Gao Shaoyi's.
"Ten years are almost here. Just follow this loan agreement and mortgage all the things you can mortgage. As long as we enter a state of war with the other party, then this loan will be written off directly."
Gao Shaoyi said with a smile, although we may not be enemies with everyone, but we can recover some losses in this way. This is something Gao Shaoyi has been thinking about for a long time. If the Zhenlu Army is allowed to continue borrowing money, it will seem a bit
It's not a good idea. After all, suppressing the captive army doesn't require that much money. It's easy for these Western bankers to guess.
"One of my two agreements represents the Windsor Empire, and the other represents the Morgan Empire. These are the two most powerful empires in the world. Are you planning to have a falling out with them?"
The inquiry about borrowing money is false. It will be true to see Gao Shaoyi’s next move. According to Marshal Zhang’s understanding, our fleet is training hard offshore every day. Lao Maozi’s fleet came from so far away in the west. Along the way
He has already spent all his energy and energy, and it would be a hell if he could defeat us.
What we need to consider now is not the war in front of us, but how to take the future path. Gao Shaoyi is not a simple person. He has already made various plans for the future, so Marshal Zhang also
I want to see if I can still have a place in my future plans.
"I said, Lao Zhang, what you said is a bit unkind. I am a peace-loving person, how could I be a warmonger? Even if people all over the world want to fight with me, I will give it a try.
They wave the flag of peace, let alone fall out with our friendly people."
Gao Shaoyi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Dashuai Zhang next to him rolled his eyes. If you are a peaceful person, then everyone in the world is a peaceful person, and they are all of a higher level than you.
The new expansion plan of the Suppression Army has come out. If you are really a peaceful person, why should you continue to expand the Suppression Army? Although Gao Shaoyi has not announced it to the outside world, some people have already got the news, and there are some things that the Suppression Army has It's for external procurement. If you want to hide everything, it's impossible.
"You can do whatever you want to do with your plans in the future, but there is one thing I have to remind you. Among the various plans of the imperial court, in addition to these officials from the three southern provinces, there is also a very important figure, and that is The Dragon General of the Southwest.”
Marshal Zhang stroked his beard and said, he himself can be said to be Nan Ba Tian, but the southwest region is ruled by General Long. He controls the three southwest provinces of the Daqian Empire. He has an army of 200,000, and there is Gaul behind him. The people of the Empire are standing, so General Long is definitely a tough sell.
"Any news about him?"
When he was in the capital, Gao Shaoyi had already received news. Many people said that General Long would declare independence in the near future, and it would be with the support of the Gallic Empire. However, because Gao Shaoyi led his army south, General Long would not It's relatively quiet. Now the Rakshasa Empire's fleet has arrived at the southern sea. If this guy wants to cause trouble at this time, he really chose the right time.
"The specific information is not very clear yet. You also know that we are constantly fighting with each other, so I have placed a lot of spies under him. Based on the information they sent back, I think there should be some changes in his army recently. , As for what direction it will be in, I’m not sure yet.”
Dashuai Zhang said apologetically, the two of them have been fighting to the death over the years. Although there are many spies on the other side, if you want to find the first-line information, those under Dashuai Zhang are not enough. The main reason is that the three southwestern provinces are too isolated and there are not many people coming and going, so it is not easy for us to send people in.
"I can't take care of him for the time being. The most important thing is the Rakshasa Empire's fleet. After the Rakshasa Empire's fleet is resolved, I should invite him to come here to talk, or I should go to him in person, and try my best to Don't fight a civil war, it will cause too much damage to us."
Speaking of this matter, Gao Shaoyi felt a little distressed. When he came to the territory of the three southern provinces, Gao Shaoyi carried out only a few internal clearance activities, but there were also certain casualties. The most important thing was that it brought indelible consequences to the local area. damage.
For example, Gao Shaoyi indeed wiped out the Zhang brothers in Fucheng, but the sequelae left by the war cannot be easily recovered, so try not to create conflicts in your own land. Under such circumstances, the scale of the war must be reduced to a minimum. General Long has 200,000 troops, which is a headache...
