After the war with Japan ends, they will inevitably be in a state of severe damage. At that time, we will take the opportunity to send troops.
By then, we will surely be able to silence the world's gossip. Therefore, the warships must be sold to Qin. Only then will Qin believe that it is foolproof and then send troops."
Mi Xiong asked, "Since we want to sell it, there must be a price. Prime Minister, how much silver do you think a warship should be sold for?"
Huang Xie said: "A warship without cannons would cost only 700 taels to build, and we could sell it to Qin for 1,000 taels.
The cost of building a giant warship equipped with artillery is about 3,000 to 7,000 taels. A slightly inferior one sells for 4,000 taels, and a slightly better one sells for 10,000 taels."
"Will Qin buy it at such an expensive price?" Mi Xiong frowned.
Huang Xie said, "He Shen is very sensitive about money. He will definitely try to lower the price. If he doesn't, that would be even better."
Mi Xiong nodded and said, "Let's do it."
There is no such thing as common ancestry between countries.
They are all pursuing profit.
Cao Cao, Cai Jing and others had already been mentally prepared for this.
However, they had no choice but to purchase warships from the State of Chu.
......
at the same time.
Xianyang City.
The Japanese envoys have arrived here.
They brought with them gold and silver treasures worth a total of 20 million taels.
In addition, they also brought many specialties unique to Japan.
In short, they did have great sincerity in negotiating peace with the Qin State.
Just when they were full of confidence and were about to sign a peace treaty with Qin Emperor Ying Yuan.
But I was frightened by the other party's words.
"I accept the gifts you sent me.
As for the matter of the covenant, let’s put it aside for now.
Mr. Cao, the Japanese envoy has come from afar and must be exhausted both physically and mentally.
From now on, let them rest in the Imperial Guards camp.
If the soldiers are dissatisfied with them, they can discuss it with the Japanese envoys.
Please advise our officers and men to demonstrate the magnanimity of our great Qin."
Japanese envoy: This...
I'm dumbfounded!
Instead of staying at the post station, he can live in the imperial guards camp?
They're still competing with each other.
We are civil servants!
This means there is absolutely no intention to negotiate!
"Bakayaloo!"
A Japanese envoy could not help but roar in the court hall.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan suddenly stood up, snatched the spear blade from Zhao Yun beside him, and then made a javelin throwing gesture.
There was only a whoosh sound.
The Japanese envoy who spoke rudely fell to the ground.
Many Japanese envoys were filled with indignation and said one after another:
"We are messengers!"
"When two armies are at war, do not kill envoys!"
“…”
Hearing this, Ying Yuan laughed and said, "To be an envoy, you must first be a human being.
But I... have never considered you Japanese pirates as human beings!
Besides, this is not the first time that I have killed an envoy. From now on, no matter what my Great Qin does to you.
I believe that you will gradually get used to it and adapt to it.
Take them away and keep them under close surveillance. Don't allow them to have any contact with the outside world!"
Afterwards, the Japanese envoys were dragged out of the palace by the Qin soldiers with expressions of extreme surprise and anger, and placed in the imperial guards camp.
The court was stained with blood and the ministers were stunned.
What surprised them was not the death of the Japanese envoy.
But it was the action of His Majesty the Emperor throwing the spear just now.
It was done in one go, without any delay.
It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is a martial arts master!
Because the emperor and the empress needed to appear at the same time when meeting envoys from other countries.
So, Daji is also in the court hall today.
She witnessed with her own eyes how her man killed the messenger.
From beginning to end, she never showed any fear when she saw the blood.
This... is the weight of the current Queen of Qin!
Recovering Yizhou is imperative!
Peaceful recovery?
Since my son was taken away by another adult.
Then peaceful recovery will be nothing but empty talk.
We have to catch that adult and beat him to death.
...
After the court was dismissed.
A man named Yu Qian deliberately waited for Huo Guang outside the imperial city.
He recommended a person from one of the twelve tribes in Jiangnan who might be able to help Huo Guang.
The person being recommended is a member of the Zheng family.
He served as governor in Quanzhou.
This person's name is Zheng Chenggong.
