After Wei Chao left, Zhu Youxiao's eyes turned back again and said: "In order to ensure the smoothness of this war, North Korea should open several ports for the Ming Dynasty to dock the Ming warships. In this way, the two sides can have better communication and more convenient business."

This matter must be done, so Zhu Youxiao brought it up directly.

This is a disguised garrison. Anyway, it will definitely not withdraw after entering. If there are any abnormal movements, the Ming Dynasty can also respond in time.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has occupied the entire Liaodong, when Japan is defeated in the future, North Korea will be in the gap between the Ming Dynasty and Japan. It is estimated that it will be difficult to climb out of this kind of survival map.

After hearing this, Li Zong felt a sudden sensation in his heart, and he felt a chill.

Let the Ming army go to North Korea?

This matter is not that simple. Li Zong has already seen that the Ming Dynasty not only has to attack Japan, but also North Korea.

What should I do? Don’t you agree?

Li Zong looked up at Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youxiao.

Sun Chengzong still had a calm face, looking like I was not talking.

As for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had a bright smile on his face, looking like he was discussing with you.

But Li Zong knew that this was not a negotiation. If he did not agree, the Ming Dynasty might turn its fingers on its own country.

Li Zong felt cruel in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course there is no problem with this, after all, it is a joint combat. I will do my best to cooperate. There is no problem with opening the port. Moreover, there is an island between Japan and North Korea, which can be used by the Ming Dynasty to garrison and dock."

Although I don’t know which island Li Zong wants to assign to him, it will definitely not work if it is smaller.

The island between Japan and North Korea is more interested in Jeju Island in the future. That location is just right for the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is to Japan or North Korea, it is very suitable.

There is another very important island, that is Tsushima Island. This island in later generations was controlled by Japan. If I fight this time, I will definitely take Tsushima Island.

It’s just that a better logistics base is needed, and Tsushima Island is not suitable. On the contrary, Jeju Island is more suitable for the Ming Dynasty and can attack everywhere.

Anyway, no matter which island Li Zong gave, he wanted Jeju Island.

Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "It's so good, this matter is settled."

Li Zong nodded bitterly, and said with a smile on his face, "Everyone follows His Majesty's orders."

Sun Chengzong on the other side didn't care either. Anyway, Li Zong agreed, so that's great.

As for the idea that Your Majesty wants to attack Japan, Sun Chengzong cares even more. Anyway, Japan needs to be cleaned up, so just fight.

You know, Your Majesty has been spending money on the navy, and that’s not a day or two.

Although it is now called the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, in Sun Chengzong's view, it was the previous navy, but the warships were more and larger than before, and they were all equipped with new weapons. It should not be a problem to fight a Japanese country.

The current national strength of the Ming Dynasty is not a big deal. As long as you don’t fight such a dazed war, it’s no big deal.

Besides, isn’t North Korea cooperative?

There should be no major problems. Moreover, he had to go back to the capital to continue his research, so Sun Chengzong didn't say anything.

"Very good." Zhu Youchao was very satisfied with Li Zong's answer, and said with a bright smile on his face: "That's it. The matter has been talked about, let's go have a drink."

Zhu Youxiao said directly: "After you go back, you will draft a national letter, and then I will stamp the jade seal."

There is naturally no need to sign a treaty between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

Signing a treaty is a matter between two reciprocal countries. The Ming Dynasty and North Korea have never been reciprocal countries. North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no treaty or something like that.

The way of communication between the two sides was to write a letter from the country in North Korea, and then Zhu Youxiao agreed. This was a request from the minister to the king.

In this letter of nationality, North Korea needs to explain the harm that Japan has done to them, and states that it needs the help of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time write down all the prices it can pay.

None of the things I just talked about was the request of the Ming Dynasty, but all of them were the request of the North Korea, and this will not change. Even if this is the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, it is the meaning of Zhu Youxiao.

After the letter of nationality was handed over, Zhu Youxiao would stamp the jade seal and agree.

Li Zong felt helpless, but his strength did not allow him to resist the Ming Dynasty, so he could only accept his fate. However, he still had one more thing to say.

Li Zong was not ashamed and said directly: "Your Majesty, the North Korean army is really not capable of cooperating with the Ming Dynasty's operations. Our army is too poor and our weapons are behind, so it may be a mistake."

"I wonder if I can give us some weapons from the Ming Dynasty? We are willing to buy them with money. As long as your Majesty agrees, the price is easy to negotiate."

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Li Zong would actually buy weapons.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao had no idea to sell weapons, but when he heard him say this, he suddenly had some ideas.

This money is not profitable. The arms trade is originally a transaction that makes a lot of money, and this transaction can be done.

So Zhu Youxiao stopped again and sat back directly.

In fact, there were really weapons to be sold in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the batch of equipment eliminated by the Royal Army, including artillery and muskets.

It’s just that the cannons are old cannons, and the muskets are old flintlock rifles.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to sell these things to Li Zong.

Compared to the weapons I use, these things are indeed not advanced enough, and they are even more than one era behind. But for people outside, they are still very advanced weapons.

What Zhu Youxiao wanted to sell to North Korea was the cannons used in the past, some of which were even from the Qi Jiguang era. There were also the firearms that were eliminated, such as tiger squat cannons. In addition, they were muskets, previous coercion guns, and these things were also in the warehouse.

Even if there is no, some of them can be confiscated from various places, replaced the military equipment, and then sold all the replaced old equipment to North Korea.

In this way, not only can you make a big profit, but you can also free up all the junk.

As for the Ming army, Zhu Youxiao no longer had the idea of ​​replacing them with flintlock rifles. That thing doesn't make much sense, and it would be a waste to make it now.

In the future arms transactions, Zhu Youxiao did not expect to sell his arms to whom he needed to sell his arms. In this era, there is actually no need to do any trade.

If you really want money or something, then fight and grab it with force. This has always been like this in the world, and there are no messy rules at all.

Besides, after this batch of weapons is consumed, I am no longer planning to make them.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao seemed to agree, Li Zong immediately showed a bright smile on his face.

Finally something happy!

If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty agreed to this matter, it would be good news. At least his army had decent weapons, and he could have fewer casualties when fighting Japan, and he could capture more places, and maybe he would have gained more benefits.

How could this make Li Zong unhappy?

He wanted to go to Japan to occupy more territory to make up for his losses, which is a good idea.

When Sun Chengzong heard that North Korea wanted to buy weapons, he frowned directly from the side.

He didn't expect Li Zong to say this. What he didn't expect was that His Majesty actually wanted to agree.

This is not good news. The Ming Dynasty finally made such things. How much money has His Majesty invested over the years? How could he sell it so casually?

In fact, Sun Chengzong didn’t know that these things could not be developed overnight. They did not mean that you could make them by selling you weapons.

This requires the support of the entire country's industrial foundation, whether it is the steel industry, machine tools, forging, etc., to combine all aspects to achieve such a result of the Ming Dynasty.

With the technological level of this era, no one can do it. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, how many countries cannot have a complete weapon and equipment production line?

Most countries still need to import and buy it, and this kind of thing is nothing surprising.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter can be discussed again." Sun Chengzong said directly: "There are enough things to talk about today. After the matter we are finalized today, it is not too late to talk about weapons trading. After all, it still takes a lot of time to prepare if you want to attack Japan."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong and knew what he meant.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong and thought it would be better to delay. Raising can make Li Zong spend more money, and such a thing is also conducive to negotiations.

Zhu Youxiao said directly: "What Master Sun said makes sense, then this matter will be settled."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong again and said, "Let this matter be put aside first. We have already agreed on the previous matter. Now I am in a good mood, go to a bar."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao stood up again and prepared to go for dinner, without any intention of saying anything.

Li Zong was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something else. But when he saw Sun Chengzong staring at him, he also understood in his heart that the emperor's teacher did not want to talk about this matter at this time.

Sun Chengzong's words just now directly changed the mind of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which shows his position in the hearts of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If you continue to say something at this time, you may offend this person and you will not be able to do anything at that time.

Li Zong could only hold back his words and said, "Everyone follows His Majesty's orders."
