Chapter 161 If you want to crush people, you must first convince them! (Please subscribe, please vote)

When George Yilu boarded a 10,000-ton sailing ship and sadly left the sad place of Japan, Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei had already arrived in Fucheng, Tianjin.

Tianjin is, of course, a modern industrial city full of "steamy Chinese style". It is the manufacturing center of coal chemical industry, chemical equipment, mining equipment, railway equipment and aviation equipment in the Ming Dynasty. There are vast areas on both sides of the Haihe River and near Dagukou.

Even though the Ming Dynasty's economy is a bit depressed now, this old industrial center still shows a lively and busy scene.

The train Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei took arrived at night, but the "Tianjin Industrial Zone" was still brightly lit, machines were rumbling, and the air was filled with the smell of industrial waste gas. King Zhuge Wuzhong obviously had nothing to do with it.

Environmental awareness.

After Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei got off the train, they were immediately invited by two carriages sent by Zhuge Yangwu, the Governor of Zhili, to an airship testing ground belonging to the Zhuge Family on the edge of the Tianjin Industrial Zone - this airship testing ground belonged to the Zhuge Family

Several branches of Feilong Industries are jointly controlled by Feilong Industries, and the famous Feilong series of airships are products of this company.

After the Battle of Peshawar, Feilong Industries' orders were overwhelming. Not only the Ming Army and Navy placed large orders, but also several vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Rakshasa Kingdom next door, all requested the purchase of airships.

.

Business has never been very good. Zhuge Weitian, the general manager (equivalent to the CEO) of Feilong Industry, became famous after the Feilong No. 3 boat battle, but he was happy every day. Everyone he saw was smiling from ear to ear.

The happy man gained weight and became "Little Fat Zhuge". However, he still couldn't be happy when he saw Zhuge Weidao. This is because this man has been fond of aerospace since he was a child, and even changed his name to "Wei Tian."

", so he held back his energy and wanted to be the aerospace strategist of the Zhuge family, but he didn't expect that he had been preparing for twenty years, and then he let Zhuge take the lead.

Therefore, when Zhuge Weidao came to Tianjin to test-ride the airship earlier, he did not even show his face. The last time Zhuge Weidao came to Dagukou, Tianjin to board the ship, he also avoided seeing the Eighteenth Military Advisor.

But this time Zhuge Weidao passed by Tianjin again, and Zhuge Weitian couldn't help but see him. This is because after the Battle of Kii Waterway, Feilong Industrial's airships have been sold like crazy. In the past few days, France, Austria, Prussia, and Turkey

, military attachés from the United States, Brazil, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and other countries all went to the headquarters of Feilong Industry with orders. According to Feilong Industry's current production capacity, if all those orders were placed, it would not be completed in ten years!

So with Zhuge Yangwu's help, and for the sake of the rolling silver coins, Zhuge Weimin served good wine and delicious food on the site of his own Feilong Industry to honor Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei who returned to the court in triumph.

Catch the wind and wash away the dust.

In addition to Zhuge Yangwu and Zhuge Weitian, there is also Zhuge Yangming, the "Shanghai Navy Commander" of the Yang generation. It is said that he has some cooperation projects with Feilong Industry in the past two days. He also came to Tianjin in person and was roped in together.

As a companion.

And at the banquet where the wind and dust were washed away, Guan Tianpei inquired about the war with Japan from Zhuge Yangwu, the governor of Zhili (who was also a military advisor) - despite the fact that Guan Tianpei had the rank of lieutenant general and was also the admiral of the naval aviation force, it could be said that

He held such a high position that the Navy Ministry and the Army Ministry had sent people to seek his opinions before. However, he had little say in the final battle and decision-making. The Ming Dynasty's major national policies were always decided by the cabinet and the political council.

It is firmly in control, and the soldiers do not have much say.

Because Zhuge Weidao can exert influence on the Military Advisor Corps, the core group of the Zhuge family, he has a bigger say in this regard than Guan Tianpei. But with his qualifications here, even if he is in the Military Advisor Corps, he cannot compete with the great military advisor Zhuge Weidao.

Compared with people like Zhuge Yangwu, he is certainly not as good as Zhuge Yangwu and Zhuge Yangming. Moreover, he is now a frontline officer, so he has even less influence on major policies. This soldier has been involved in politics since Queen Zhuge Wuzhong.

This is the area of ​​focus for the eight aristocratic families - it is not a restricted area, but the officers who are in the core group of the eight aristocratic families must be careful in their words and deeds! If you are too high-profile and are recognized by everyone as ambitious, then nothing good will happen!

So Zhuge Weidao can make suggestions now, but he also has to be "good". If others don't listen to him, he has to obey the decisions of the military advisors and the cabinet. Moreover, he'd better not make any radical suggestions!

Hearing Guan Tianpei's question, Zhuge Yangming and Zhuge Weitian both turned their attention to Zhuge Yangwu, Zhuge Weijiu's son. Although he was Zhuge of the "Yang" generation, he was the son of Prince Wu and the son of the great military advisor.

He is recognized as the successor of the great military division and has a great say in the military division.

Moreover, he and Zhuge Weidao have always had a good relationship.

"This Japanese dog must be taken away!" Zhuge Yangwu said with a smile while twirling his beard, "And the current progress is also very good. But my Ming Dynasty is the Chinese dynasty, and the Chinese dynasty must convince people with reason!"

While he was talking, he was looking at Zhuge Weidao from the corner of his eyes.

Of course Zhuge Weidao knew what his eldest nephew meant? What happened last time when he "accepted Natalie for his own use" could not happen again. Moreover, accepting Natalie did not involve military power, but was just to run errands for the royal family.

That's all, Empress Dowager Zheng and the young emperor were satisfied afterwards, and others had nothing to say.

But beating Japan into a dog is a real important military matter. It cannot be done randomly. The beating must be justified and measured. It is best to let Japan applaud after being beaten!

Zhuge Weidao smiled and asked: "Ziyi, the two prime ministers have agreed that we implement the strategy of helping the king to fight against the barbarians?"

Zhuge Yangwu waved his hand: "It is not enough to help the king to fight the barbarians. We can only talk about it within Japan, but not outside Japan. Even the Samu sect in Japan will be unhappy after hearing this!"

If we want to win over the Nagasaki rebels with an overwhelming advantage, we must get the broadest support, and to get the broadest support, we have to convince people! We must not only get the support of the emperor, but also the support of the emperor.

The support of the general, after all, Japan has been the emperor for a long time, and the general shares the same interests.

In addition, we must also obtain the understanding of the United Kingdom internationally. Only in this way will the Nagasaki rebels become a small group isolated by everyone!"

So cautious!

Zhuge Weidao thought to himself: "With the Ming's national power, it would have been an advantage to defeat the Japanese pirates in Nagasaki, but the Ming court still wanted to take advantage of it, and it also had to involve the emperor, the shogunate, and even the Kii waterway.

The British guys who have been beaten should be appeased and not allowed to continue to provide aid to Nagasaki. This is a sure win and a triple insurance!"

Zhuge Yangming interrupted at this time: "Uncle One Hundred and Eighth, have you decided how to tell General Tokugawa?"

Of course he was not asking to be nosy, but to help Zhuge Weidao get the job done - he would go to Edo with Zhuge Weidao to work as a lobbyist. People may not believe the empty words.

With a large amount of silver dollars, those shogunate veterans might think that Zhuge Weidao's words make sense!

"I've already thought about it!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Of course we should first attack the enemy and put maximum pressure on the Tokugawa shogunate, and then we will pretend to be good people."

Now Zhuge Weidao is smarter and knows that Zhuge Yangming must have come to Tianjin with a mission.

"The greatest pressure?" Zhuge Yangming asked, "What is the greatest pressure?"

"Of course it's Bai Chuan who's visiting!" Zhuge Weidao said.

The so-called white ships refer to the warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Because they are all painted white, they are called white ships.

"Oh," Zhuge Yangming asked, "How much is appropriate?"

Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "Of course, the more the merrier!" He paused, "As long as General Tokugawa knows that our Ming Dynasty is invincible, he will naturally surrender. Then we can say whatever we want. Let's talk about the ones in Nagasaki.

The Japanese pirates are all Baiyi lackeys and have quietly entered the Catholic Church!"
