Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Master Zhong thought wrong. I am not worried about this problem."
After finishing speaking, he said to Li Wei: "I can forgive you for all your past sins, so you don't have to worry."
When Li Wei heard the emperor's golden words and pardoned his sins in person, he was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed again to express his gratitude.
"You have to answer truthfully, how does the Western army compare with the Ming army?" Emperor Chongzhen asked, staring at Li Wei.
This stumped Li Wei. The Ming army was notoriously bad. If he told the truth, if the emperor was angry, his head would still be in danger. And from the conversation just now, he had a vague feeling that the court seemed to have intentions.
North America, if this is the case, has its own place.
So, he rolled his eyes and immediately lowered his head to avoid facing the front and replied: "Your Majesty, there are not many Western troops in Mexico City, maybe not even a thousand people. Most of those Westerners are just ordinary people who can't survive in their own countries."
.”
"You just said that the indigenous people have established a country?" Emperor Chongzhen seemed not to realize the hidden meaning of Li Wei's words and continued to ask him.
"As far as the grassroots know, the indigenous people in the Mexico City area have a nation, but although they are many in number, they are just chickens and dogs." Levi still lowered his head when answering the question.
"Why do you say that?" Emperor Chongzhen asked immediately after hearing this.
The other four people in the palace listened to their questions and answers, but did not answer. Among them, Wang Chengen already understood the identity of this person and knew why the emperor asked him to take the person in person.
"Your Majesty, the common people heard that the Westerners defeated the 20,000 indigenous army with less than 200 troops."
Li Wei's words shocked everyone in the Wenhua Palace. Such a huge disparity was really unheard of.
Westerners are definitely not the devils with magical powers as those foolish men and women think. Everyone present knows this. In turn, it only shows that the natives are really bad.
Li Wei was afraid that these big men wouldn't believe it, so he quickly added: "Westerners are fully armored, but the weapons used by the natives are made of stone, and they fight without rules and will only swarm them. Therefore, when the native army faces the Westerners, it is just
Hit an egg against a stone."
Suddenly, Li Wei thought of something and couldn't help but raise his head and added: "The natives have never seen a horse, and they are terrified when they see people riding horses."
The horses in North America were brought there by Europeans, and they really scared the Indians who saw the knights for the first time.
When Li Wei raised his head, he found that there were many high-ranking officials in scarlet robes standing around looking at him, and in front of him was a young man in yellow robes staring at him. He was startled and quickly lowered his head.
What Li Wei just said made everyone present feel relieved. They thought that the indigenous people were so primitive, which made it much easier for the vassal to establish a country in North America. The only people who needed to worry were the Westerners.
They don't know that as long as they are human beings, they will change.
During the contact with the Westerners, the Indians' force was greatly enhanced due to various reasons. In history, the armed Indians also massacred many Westerners.
Zhong Jinwei had a better concept of North America than others. He first asked an important question: "Have Westerners spread to western North America now?"
Levi thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are few Westerners, and now they are basically only entrenched near Mexico City. I don't know if they will expand westward in the future."
After Emperor Chongzhen learned about these situations, his frown finally stopped.
At first, he was worried that if the indigenous people established a country, they would be as powerful as the barbarians on the grassland. After receiving a reassuring reply, he started to worry about the Westerners.
It happened that Zhong Jinwei asked the question he was worried about again, but Li Wei's answer also made him relieved. The threat from the Westerners was not great yet.
However, Zhong Jinwei turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, North America is like a delicious piece of pastry. Now Westerners have begun to eat it from the east. As time goes by, they will not be satisfied with just a small piece of pastry.
.As a result, they will inevitably expand westward in the hope of swallowing the whole pastry."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this is obvious, no one will be satisfied as long as they have the ability.
Several people in the hall were familiar with Zhong Jinwei's speaking style and knew what kind of suggestions he had. So they all looked at him and listened to what he said.
"Your Majesty, before the new army is trained and expanded on a large scale, the key to the competition between the Ming Dynasty and the Westerners in North America is who can stand first."
Wen Tiren listened and frowned, could this new army really be so strong?
Zhong Jinwei did not look at Wen Tiren. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen nodding again, he continued: "But for now, the Westerners have seized the opportunity. Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wants to gain an advantage in North America, the feudal feudal issue must be carried out as soon as possible. That is,
It is said that all resources should be given priority to this matter."
The people in the palace knew this originally, but after Zhong Jinwei said this, their understanding was strengthened.
However, Wen Tiren was a little worried. He was afraid that if the court really implemented what Zhongxing Hou said, some people might object.
At this time, Li Wei understood clearly. It turned out that the imperial court wanted to seal off the vassal king and establish a country in North America. This excited him, who had been oppressed by Westerners in North America. For him, the opportunities contained in this were as long as
You don't have to be a fool to imagine how big it is.
At this time, Zhong Jinwei turned around and asked Li Wei: "If a large-scale fleet sets off from the Ming Dynasty to North America. Can you answer truthfully, is it feasible?"
Upon hearing Zhong Jinwei ask this key question, everyone focused their attention on Li Wei again.
Because whether the North American route can now allow large-scale fleets to go to America is the key to the feudal maritime North America of the feudal clan.
Zhong Jinwei waited for a while and saw that Li Wei still lowered his head and did not answer. He was slightly worried, fearing that Li Wei would say no.
I have never heard of people traveling to North America through this route in ancient times. Now that we have discovered that a small number of people can go, it is an improvement. But if we go to North America on a large scale, we have no confidence at all in entering the Wei Dynasty at this time. After all, this is ancient times.
"Look up and look at me to answer." Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but demand.
Li Wei had already thought of his explanation at this time, so he obeyed Zhong Jinwei's request, raised his head and looked at the young high-ranking official, and cautiously reported: "Sir, if the Ming Dynasty sends ships to North America on a large scale, it is okay to say so.
, It’s impossible to say no. Please allow me to explain the situation on this route first.”
Zhong Jinwei nodded and said to Li Wei: "Okay, you can tell me first and listen."
Li Wei saw Zhong Jinwei looking at him with a look that seemed to encourage him, and his heart felt even more stable, and he immediately began to describe it in an orderly manner.
