After thinking about it, Emperor Jingtai said again: "Then how can we avoid him from seeing all our things! If they know about it, wouldn't we lose our advantage?"

"I know this!"

Jiang Lang nodded slightly and then continued: "What we want to show him is not how our weapons are structured, but to let him see the effects of our weapons and army attacks! This also plays a deterrent role in a certain aspect, so that they do not underestimate us, and at the same time conveys a meaning to them. Those who violate my power will be punished even if they are far away! Only when we show strong enough can our merchants have stronger support! This will be of great help to trade between us and the Great Britain!"

On the one hand, the military exercises in society are to test the effectiveness of soldiers' combat and combine daily training and combat. In this way, even if soldiers on the battlefield are on the battlefield, they will not be uncomfortable. In the original society, military exercises are the most commonly used method in every country, but some military exercises are also a kind of showing off their military power in one aspect!

And Jiang Lang is planning to do so now!

The so-called seeing the big one from the small is just a very small military exercise. The news that Jiang Lang wants to convey is the news that the Ming Dynasty has strong force, and William will naturally convey the news back. In this way, it will also play a role in promoting the Ming Dynasty in one aspect, and in one aspect, it can also let Britain know that the Ming Dynasty is not a small country in the East, but a very powerful country!

Jiang Lang knew the role of the demonstration-like military exercises, so he thought it would be good to let William see it!

I just rejected Jiang Lang. If I were denying Jiang Lang's proposal at this time, I would feel that it would be a bit bad. And it seemed that it was no big deal. I just sent some soldiers to train, so I nodded and said, "That's OK, I don't know which troops you plan to participate in the military exercise?"

"Navigator!"

Jiang Lang expressed his thoughts without hesitation. Great Britain is also a powerful country on the sea, and the best way to deal with the power on the sea is the power on the sea, so William had to see that the Ming Dynasty's navy could easily destroy them, and their proud navy was just a decoration in front of the Ming Dynasty's navy!

"Navigator"

Emperor Jingtai asked strangely, but he still didn't understand this Great Britain very much!

At this time, Britain was in a melee. Their emperors Henry VI and Henry VI ascended the throne nine months after their birth. Due to the death of his grandfather, Charles VI, he was the king of England and France. His uncle, Duke Bedford, was regent. Due to the appearance of Joan of Arc in France, Britain lost in the Hundred Years' War and lost all its territory in France. In 1455, Henry VI fell ill, and the Duke of Richard of the York family was declared the regent. The Lancaster family could not tolerate this and relied on the support of the feudal lords in the northwest to abolish the regent. The long-term melee between the two sides began. Because Richard, Duke of York, demanded the right to inherit the throne, and launched a civil war between the British aristocratic families (War of the Roses).

The Rose War, or the Rose War, usually refers to the intermittent civil war between the supporters of the British Lancaster and the house of york for the throne of England. Both families are branches of the Plantagenet royal family and are descendants of King Edward III of England. The Rose War was not the name used at that time. It originated from the family emblems chosen by the two royal families, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York.

William belonged to the Lancaster Dynasty. Although there was a civil war, it did not have much impact on the sales of Ming products in them.

In Britain, the first person to use established maritime power was Alfred the Great of Wessex, who sent ships to resist the invasion of the Nordic pirates. The navy's actions were local, defensive and temporary until the French occupied Normandy in the 13th century, and trade activities expanded to Spain and Portugal, when ships were used to transport infantry into land operations. However, in the Battle of Sluys in 1340, the British Navy had engaged in maritime operations.

Henry VIII formed a fleet equipped with large artillery and established a naval executive. Under the leadership of Elizabeth I, the Navy developed into the main British defensive force and became a means of global expansion of the British Empire. Charles II named the maritime power the Royal Navy, although during the British Civil War (1642-1651), the army was controlled by Congress.

Therefore, in 1457, their navy did not actually form a large scale, and the Ming Navy was definitely the most powerful navy at this time. Jiang Lang was not clear about the history of Britain, but just wanted to show the Ming Dynasty's military strength in this form!

Emperor Jingtai pondered for a moment before asking: "Why do you need to use a navy? Can't other troops work?"

Jiang Lang shook his head slightly and then said, "I have thought about it carefully, but this navy is our best choice, because the terrain of this country is somewhat similar to that of high-strength, and they have a long coastline. Therefore, the one who can best show our power is our navy. Beijing can make them feel that we are powerful, because even if we want to pose a sufficient threat to them, there are only navy, and others are really not possible!"

Jiang Lang's words sounded reasonable. Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly and said, "You actually said that, of course, that's fine. So how many troops are you going to use?"

Jiang Lang stretched out his hand, raised three fingers, and then said: "Third warships are enough!"

Emperor Jingtai didn't expect that Jiang Lang would only have three ships. These three ships were too weak. He said strangely: "You only have three warships?"

"Yes, three warships!"

Jiang Lang emphasized again, saying: "Three warships are enough, because the firepower of our three warships is enough to scare William. Moreover, our military exercises, that is, tell him one thing, our three warships can play a very good role. William is also a smart person and knows that all our three warships have such firepower, so he can imagine how strong the attack power our fleet has, so three are enough."

There were not many three warships. Emperor Jingtai nodded after thinking about it, and then said, "Okay, you can arrange this matter yourself. Then tell the Ministry of War that there is no problem with the three warships!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Lang said immediately!

Emperor Jingtai pondered for a moment before asking again: "You won't be angry if I didn't pass your proposal!"

Jiang Lang did not expect that Emperor Jingtai would ask such a question, but immediately shook his head and said, "The emperor disagrees, which only means that my suggestion is loopholes, and it is not suitable for the current national conditions of the Ming Dynasty. Good policies can only be implemented if they are combined with the current laws!"

"Um……!"

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "It is best if you can understand this. Your proposal is actually very good. I am actually very moved. However, you should also understand that our national strength is indeed a bit tight for building these ports. Moreover, the high-strength side is very calm now. There should be no problems. The port should be usable now, so there is no problem. The most important thing is that there is a place to spend money now. Everything requires money. I hope you understand the difficulties of the court!"

Emperor Jingtai actually wanted to tell him this. Jiang Lang was still a little surprised, but he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I understand!"

"Just understand!"

Emperor Jingtai nodded. Although he denied Jiang Lang's suggestion, he had to consider Jiang Lang's idea. After all, he is now an important official in the court and an overweight hero, so he still had to consider his opinions!

After a slight pause, Emperor Jingtai said: "Okay, then you go, the envoy's affairs will be left to you, but I think this should be somewhat concealed with the strength to hide something, and it cannot be seen through by others!"

Jiang Lang naturally understood this point that whether it is a friendly army, an enemy, or a potential enemy, it must maintain the necessary sense of mystery, so that people will not see their old fortune clearly.

After Jiang Lang said goodbye, he left the palace and found the guards. Then he was very serious and asked someone to send a post to William, inviting him to come for lunch tomorrow, and then went to the Ministry of War. The soldiers who mobilized the troops still had to say hello to the Ministry of War. Although the emperor agreed, he could not act too arrogant!

After going to the Ministry of War, the people of the Ministry of War were somewhat surprised by Jiang Lang's arrival. You must know that Jiang Lang did not come here often, but they still respected Jiang Lang. Under Jiang Lang's leadership, their Ministry of War has made a lot of contributions. Although Jiang Lang, as the factory supervisor of the East Factory, robbed them of their power to send troops, at this time, Jiang Lang's power had surpassed Wang Zhen of that year. Who would dare to have any opinions on Jiang Lang? So after explaining Jiang Lang's purpose, he agreed immediately without any hesitation, and at the same time asked someone to prepare several warships! Perhaps because of the pleasing reason, the warships they allocated to Jiang Lang were three of them, which had just been in service, which were completely considered the most advanced warships of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Lang didn't know because he forgot to explain!
