Chapter 192: Leave a guarantee (additional update for Pirates)
"Brother, can I come in?"
Liu Mingzhi packed up the papers on the desk and put them in the drawer: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in!"
An Gou'er was dressed in purple robes of a marquis and walked into the study with a calm expression on his face, holding a horizontal sword in his hand: "My younger brother has prepared a memorial and plans to send one to the Ministry of War later, so he came a little late.
Forgive me, brother!"
"These two days are the period of Xiu Mu. What discounts are you going to give to the Ministry of War?"
"Brother, the charter for the second voyage to the West has been drawn up. In addition to the original 25,000 troops, we will add 35,000 officers and soldiers. My younger brother got a discount and asked for 100,000 troops!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at An Gouer in surprise: "Seven hundred new warships and thirty-five thousand people are already a lot. Why do you need one hundred thousand people?"
An Gouer gently slapped the horizontal knife on the table and looked at Liu Mingzhi with cold and bright eyes!
"The younger brother wants to prepare a guarantee for the elder brother!"
"Assure?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and immediately stood up from the chair, walked to the door and closed it, turned around and stared at An Gouer closely!
"Jiang He, don't be ridiculous! The governors of the two ports are ordered by the state government to command a maximum of 60,000 troops. Because the number of soldiers for your voyage to the West is only 60,000, and 100,000 is no longer in line with Taizu's order.
Rules! Where’s the discount?”
An Gouer hesitated and took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Mingzhi!
"Brother, why did His Majesty demote you to Northern Xinjiang for no reason? You went to Northern Xinjiang, and my younger brother went to the West. How will there be a place for you in the court in the future?"
"The new generation is better than the old ones. In the future, there will be a change of blood in the court. If I replace you with something that is not eye-catching, I have a hundred thousand elite marines in my hands. No one will dare to look down on you and me, brothers!"
"Elite? You dare to call your soldiers elite after just one trip to the sea? Do you believe that my elder brother can recruit 10,000 soldiers from northern Xinjiang to join me in the westward expedition and kill 60,000 of your navy soldiers to a rout? You
It wasn't like this before, why did you become so ambitious after going to sea?"
An Gouer looked at Liu Mingzhi quietly and shook his head slightly, with a hint of killing intent condensed on his body. The horizontal sword in his hand was unsheathed three inches, revealing the cold blade.
"Brother, the younger brother hasn't changed, and it's not that the younger brother is too ambitious. Now they are not elites in a hundred battles, but that doesn't mean they won't be elites in a hundred battles next time they come back from the West!"
Liu Mingzhi's expression changed when he felt the killing intent in An Gouer!
"Jiang He, change what you learned from Liu Yi. Blood Sword Sima Hongdu has become Liu Yi. Now you are no longer a knight of the rivers and lakes, but an official of the imperial court, the noble Marquis of Haining!"
"Get rid of all the martial arts habits you learned from Liu Yi. Go deep alone and have no follow-up support. Western countries are definitely not the best place for military training!"
"You are an eighth-grade master, but the soldiers under your command are not!"
"Don't let the brothers who followed you overseas bury their bodies in a foreign country just because of impulse. This is my brother's warning and advice to you!"
"No matter how elite sixty thousand people are, they are incomparable to millions or even tens of millions of people! In the West, you have only made friends with more than a hundred countries now, and there are still many countries that you have not yet made friends with. Once you use the butcher knife, in the
You and your 60,000 soldiers will be unable to move across the Western Ocean, and may even die overseas!"
"Promise brother, don't be impulsive!"
"Brother, I just want to leave a trump card for you. Jianghe will do things that eldest brother dare not do, and Jianghe will not tolerate things that eldest brother can't bear. Jianghe is the knife in your hand!"
"As long as eldest brother orders me, there is no one Jiang He dare not kill! Jiang He just doesn't want eldest brother to be looked down upon by some young people in the future!"
"Jiang He, promise brother, don't be impulsive or do anything random. You swear in front of me!"
"Brother!"
"Jiang He, you know my eldest brother's temper. I don't want to say it a second time, I swear!"
"Alas" An Gou'er stood up from the chair with a helpless expression, knelt on one knee in front of Liu Mingzhi and raised three fingers together: "I, An Gou'er, swear to God that I will live up to the expectations of my elder brother, make friends with all nations with peace of mind, and never use the butcher knife rashly!
"
"Jiang He, don't blame elder brother. Not only is elder brother worried about the lives of you and the 60,000-year-old man, but also because now is really not the best time to take action!"
"Don't delay the long-term plan because of impulsiveness. It's a hundred times better for you to explore the road peacefully now than to explore the road with the bones of soldiers in the future!"
"Yes, Jiang He realizes his mistake, please punish me, brother!"
"Get up and sit down, and stop putting on such stinky airs in front of big brother!"
An Gouer scratched his head and sat down with a smile: "Brother, I have no other intention, I just want to help you with something!"
"Brother understands your thoughts!"
Liu Mingzhi opened An Gouer's book and looked through it, took out the fire book, lit it and threw it into the brazier aside to start burning!
"The matter of asking for soldiers is rotten in my stomach. Jiang He, your foundation in the court is not stable now. Just after you appointed Marquis Haining as the governor of the two ports, you dare to ask for 40,000 soldiers. This is a bit arrogant!"
"If someone catches you, a copy of Painjiao Ginseng will be enough for you to drink a pot. The right way is to take it slowly and gradually. You won't be able to play in the court for long without relying on your brain!"
"If you dare to interfere with me, I will strike with my sword." An Gou'er picked up the sword and saw his elder brother's frown before he even took it out of its sheath, and he immediately put down the horizontal sword in his hand angrily!
"I will change, I will definitely change!"
"When has the date of sailing been decided?"
"About twenty days! Those Westerners have been impatient for me to give the order to set sail!"
"Can't wait? Don't want to stay in Dalong so much? Could it be that their country is more prosperous than Dalong?"
"Shit!"
An Gouer crossed his legs and threw something into his mouth and chewed it: "What is there to go back to in a remote place? They can't wait because they bought all kinds of rare treasures from us and want to hurry up."
Go back and make a fortune!"
Liu Mingzhi didn't pay attention to An Gou'er's words. He stared at the peanuts in An Gou'er's hand and swallowed his saliva!
"Are you eating peanuts?"
"Peanuts? This one? I don't know what it's called. It's a half-bag given by a Westerner. It tastes good. I put a handful in it when I'm fine, and chew a couple of them when I'm fine."
Young Master Liu stood up with a gloomy expression, grabbed An Gouer's collar and roared.
"You bastard, I made a list for you to find some things before going to sea. Did you take it to heart?"
"Uh... don't worry... I'm worried about it!"
"Stop your mother, you're just giving me a snack that I've always dreamed of eating?"
"Brother, listen to my explanation, I really didn't see it!"
"Fart, you ate something crunchy and you said you didn't see it?"
"But I really haven't seen peanuts. Peanuts, I think about it, there is such a thing. The key is that the shape on the paper is not like this!"
"The Westerners gave you peanuts without shells?"
"That's what you see!"
"How much is left?"
"Half a bag!"
"Send them all to me and get out!"
"knew!"
"Jianghe!"
"Brother? What's wrong?"
"The sea is changing rapidly and there are dangers everywhere. Before leaving, try to find a wife so that you can have a family and a wife."
