Turn back from thoughts.

Liu Mingqi sighed: "I originally thought that the problem would be in the prefecture, because the warehouse staff there were the most unhonest... I didn't expect that it was the northern navy that should have appeared the least!"

The Northern Navy has been fighting with the pirates for many years.

Last year, they suffered a great loss at the hands of Japanese pirates and were scolded by the people of Jiangnan - second only to the Southern Navy, which was annihilated by Japanese pirates.

Logically speaking, the Northern Navy should be incompatible with the Japanese pirates.

Unexpectedly, they secretly sold so many wooden grenades and went out.

More than 700 pieces!!

This is still under strict management, otherwise, tens of thousands of coins might be sold by them!

Su Feng said that they did not know the identity of the buyer, and Liu Mingqi did not believe this statement very much.

These Northern Navy borers are not fools, they certainly dare not sell such sensitive things as wooden grenades to strangers.

Must be a regular customer!

It must be someone who has traded!!

Otherwise, they would rather not make this money than save their lives first.

So even though these people don’t know it’s Lin Hao, they must know that some of them were sold to Japanese pirates!

The Japanese pirates committed so many murders in Jiangnan last year, and the families of many soldiers of the Northern Navy also died in the disaster.

Unexpectedly, these people were so cruel that they didn’t even care about the same hatred and shared the same hatred among the robes. They just knew that corruption would make money!

Such worms are not enough to calm the public's anger if they are not killed!

Su Feng and Liu Mingqi felt the same: "These guys are simply worse than beasts! Now Zhang Gongli has launched a new round of thorough investigation and cleaning in the Northern Navy... I believe he will give your highness an explanation!"

"This is not just a problem with the Northern Navy." Liu Mingqi said: "As time goes by, as the wooden grenades become more and more abundant, such things will continue to happen. Navy, government office, grain transportation yamen, border troops... etc., and even the imperial guards secretly steal and sell them."

Su Feng nodded, his face very heavy.

Before the wooden grenade, Dakang's swords, military supplies, etc. often appeared on the grasslands, small countries outside the territory, and pirates.

I used to think that this kind of harm was great enough.

But now it seems that the leak of wooden grenades is far from the terrifying thing.

After hearing that more than 700 wooden grenades were resold, Liu Renhuai directly overturned the table and cursed, let alone His Highness De, the inventor of the wooden grenades.

How ironic do you think it is to assassinate His Highness De with something that His Highness De was invented?

Moreover, such behavior will never be prohibited in the future.

There are at least hundreds of places to store wooden grenades in the entire Dakang.

There are countless borers in such hundreds of warehouses.

They dared to sell large quantities of life-saving food from ordinary people, let alone wooden grenades with more profitable profits.

It is said that the price of a wooden grenade sold by the Northern Navy borers is 100 taels of silver!

More than 700 pieces are more than 70,000 taels of silver!!

With such a huge temptation, no wonder they dared to take risks.

"These places cannot be completely banned." Su Feng said: "So recently some wealthy people in Jiangnan have been discussing whether to ban wooden grenades? In this way, their safety is unsafe. If you throw them over, they will be wiped out, which makes people feel a little panicked."

Liu Mingqi shook her head and said, "The wooden grenade is very important to us, at least in recent decades, so there is no need to completely ban it. Otherwise, the ones who are happy will be Shi Wei and the evil neighbors of Japan. If you can't give up your food because of choking, it will definitely not work."

Speaking of this, Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Actually, there is a way to avoid it! As long as the wooden grenade is thrown over, ask a dead soldier to spread it on it, or ask the dead soldier to cover the owner under his body, the wooden grenade will not hurt them."

Su Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. How can there be so many dead soldiers? I'm afraid that only the emperor has such guards!"

"The emperor's security is still very careful, including the defense of hot air balloons." Liu Mingqi's jaw head.

He actually had no need to worry.

First of all, the emperor rarely leaves the palace, and it is almost impossible to kill the emperor in the palace.

Secondly, even if they go out, the emperor is surrounded by guards, spies, etc. These people are the best barriers for Jing Hedi.

"I came here, in addition to reporting the situation, I also brought some requests from merchants." Su Feng then said to the young man: "Mrs. Chen took a large number of wooden grenades to conquer the pirate's nest this time, and achieved great success. In recent months, our merchants' trade has become much safer and easier. Many marine traders are very grateful to her, but this also leads to a problem.

Many noble families came to ask why His Highness De's concubines could be equipped with so many wooden grenades when they went to sea. However, the children of Dakang's nobles could not own wooden grenades at their own homes? The difference between safety in the hands of others and in their own hands is still very big!

In addition to them, there are many businessmen with big business operations, who have also asked. Lord Liu has considered it carefully, but who knew that this kind of assassination happened this time, so they all stopped all of a sudden."

Liu Mingqi looked at him, "Mr. Su, what do you mean by that is, do you want to fight for them?"

"Sooner or later, will it be open?" Su Feng did not answer positively, "One of the matter is not fair, and secondly, everyone does need more power to protect themselves. Only by solving this problem can our Dakang's maritime trade develop rapidly, completely dominate this ocean, and go further."

Liu Mingqi laughed.

The boy replied: "It will open up, but it is definitely not now!"

Looking at Liu Mingqi's decisive attitude, Su Feng had already made a prediction.

In fact, he was just testing Liu Mingqi's attitude.

He and Liu Renhuai both understood that this matter would not be possible in the court first, and that group of stubborn guys would not be willing to let the people control this power.

Once developed, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and everyone is afraid of it.

Especially after experiencing the crazy siege of the six-party forces last year and almost couldn't stand it, anyone was afraid of talking about it.

As one of the most important weapons to save Jiangnan and Northeast China, wooden grenades, a treasure with intimidation power, you said you can take out many of them so that the enemy can also study them. Is this possible?

Of course, Liu Mingqi also did not deny that to some extent, Su Feng's words were right.

How did the Western world develop?

It was after their cannons and muskets were invented, and more and more merchant ships drove their ships to do business, rob, and plunder the wealth of the whole world.

Then these wealth were taken to the country, which not only made them live a richer life, but also gave them more capital to develop their navy and military power.

This is a good positive cycle.

Of course, there are also negative examples, such as Spain and Portugal, which each occupy one-third of the world's territory and possess countless lands and gold and silver treasures.

As a result, after returning these wealth to China, they began to enjoy themselves extravagantly and spent all their money on eating, drinking and having fun.

If they only took half of the money to develop the navy, nothing could have happened in Great Britain.

Liu Mingqi knew that in the Age of Discovery, there was no warmth to say.

If you are kind, you will only be regarded as a fool. If you don’t snatch and occupy it, then there will naturally be others to snatch and occupy it.

Therefore, Dakang not only needs the official to dispatch the dominant position, but also needs the armed forces of private merchants to do what the official cannot do and do the "buying and dealing" that the official is embarrassed to do.

This requires them to have enough deterrent force so that they will not be bullied by the natives and traders.

The experiences of our descendants of Chinese immigrants in Southeast Asia in history fully illustrate this point.

Force is definitely not about swords, guns, sticks, and these have no shocking uses and no crushing effect.

What is the effect of crushing?

It refers to a tribe that could sweep thousands of people in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Hundreds of people dared to attack tens of thousands of people and achieved undisputed victory.

If this is not the case, what is the difference between you sending two thousand people to defeat 5,000 people and sending five thousand people to defeat 10,000 people to defeat 10,000 people now?

How much military force is needed to dominate the world?

This runs contrary to the original intention of the Age of Discovery.

Small-scale armed caravans are the essence of the early stages of the Great Navigation.

But to achieve this, it is impossible to achieve this with today's wooden grenades.

Instead, it will cause the wooden grenade to gradually spread out, causing you a lot of trouble.

yes!

Liu Mingqi is now experimenting with a civilian version of a wooden handle grenade - its power is reduced by about half.

But making does not mean it will be used immediately.

Dakang's maritime merchants have hundreds of thousands, and once they are given it, they will be supplied with hundreds of thousands of wooden grenades every year.

As long as the enemy can get tens of thousands of wooden grenades, they can fight a large-scale offensive and defensive battle with Dakang.

They can even capture Dakang's city, thereby obtaining more wooden grenades from the city, and then continue to capture more cities with captured wooden grenades.

This is called fighting to support war.

In the end, it will definitely be a disaster.

Although this possibility is not great, it cannot be said to be eliminated.

When can I give it?

After Liu Mingqi began to equip the Dakang army with the muskets and cannons, it was time to distribute them to the maritime trade merchants.

It's the same idea as before a teenager.

There must be a generational difference!

There must be a gap between the people and the court in order to ensure the security of the country!
