Suleiman couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The warships of the Dutch are really good things. The three-masted sailing ship is basically the main force of the Dutch navy. Suleiman has long coveted the benefits-the pirates in North Africa, the so-called Ottoman Navy, saw the Dutch The three-masted sailing ships go around.

Mingguo Li said that he can make the decision by himself and sell himself two ships?

Two ships is a lot, and if there are more, Cairo will not be able to support it at all-whether it is the cost of procurement, the deployment of naval personnel, or logistics and supplies, they all feel a little powerless.

Moreover, Cairo only purchased two warships, which would not cause objections from the Divans and Askaris within the empire, and would be able to afford the corresponding expenses.

Overjoyed, Suleiman simply decided to give up the idea of ​​buying two Ming warships.

For such a large warship, Cairo can only afford one of the materials and personnel needed, but after replacing it with a Dutch three-masted warship, it can support two.

Seeing that Suleiman agreed again, Li Chengyan smiled and said: "In that case, let's take our leave first. After half a month, will we still come back, or meet online at this place?"

Suleiman pointedly said: "We all work together. This is something that is good for both of us and our country, isn't it?"

Li Chengyan laughed loudly and said: "Of course, if you don't earn money for nothing, if you change it to anyone, his conscience will feel pain!"

Suleiman pointed to his heart, and also smiled at Li Chengyan: "Look, my conscience is already crying out for pain!"

……

After returning all the way to the place where Emperor Chongzhen was, Li Chengyan and Song Yunxian, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, handed over the materials they had prepared long ago to Emperor Chongzhen, including Li Chengyan's memorial.

Reaching out his finger and knocking on the table, Emperor Chongzhen said: "I already know what Li Aiqing played, let's discuss it later.

As for the result of Song Aiqing's exploration, it is actually similar to what I expected in my heart, and it is completely possible to dig through. "

Song Yunxian bowed and said, "Your Majesty's candle illuminates thousands of miles, and I admire you.

It's not enough to just confirm the problems that can be dug up. I, Ming, still have to move the common people and military households here to guard the border. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "That is to say, most of the problems are not problems now, including the governor of Cairo, Suleiman, who is also willing to cooperate with Daming?"

Li Chengyan bowed and said, "Exactly. There are two things that Suleiman is most concerned about now.

One is about the three-masted sailing ship, and the other is whether they will allow the reopening of the Suez Canal in their country. "

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Aiqing can handle the matter of the three-masted sailing ship as she sees it, and there is no need to report everything to me.

But Suleiman, he didn't ask for benefits from you? "

Before the somewhat bewildered Li Chengyan could answer, Emperor Chongzhen continued, "Since you have already mentioned the fushou cream to him, why don't you give him some more, so that he can use it as a favor?"

Li Chengyan suddenly felt a little vain.

It's not like I don't know what drug drug is, and I've seen the images of people who smoked it for a long time—except that they don't look like normal people.

Provide more drugs to Suleiman, and it is clear that he wants to use drugs to pull more officials of the Ottoman Empire into the water, and eventually promote the reopening of the canal.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and ordered the two to retreat.

After returning to the big tent where he was resting, Chongzhen Emperor Li Chengyan threw the memorial to the eldest prince Zhu Cixiu: "Look, what kind of knowledge is there?"

After Zhu Cixiu carefully looked at the memorial several times, he said cautiously: "What does the emperor mean? Do you intend to continue the fight, or temporarily suspend the army?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Now I am testing you, but I am not asking you to come to test me. What I want to know is what your opinion is? Should the canal be restarted or not?"

Zhu Cixiu said: "Report to my father, my son thinks that some kind of canal should be reopened."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Tell me your reason?"

Zhu Cixiu simply bowed and said: "Qi Zou Father, my son thinks what Master Li said in the memorial is very true, but I, Daming, have these problems in front of me, so I can't wait for a while.

It is precisely because of this that this canal should be built - nothing else, just to attract and force the people to migrate here, and it is also to facilitate my Ming Dynasty to attack England and conquer the Ottoman Kingdom in the future. "

With a slap, Emperor Chongzhen's big hand patted the head of the eldest prince Zhu Cixiu: "You are the only one with a big heart! Still want to conquer this and conquer that?

Do you know that if the fighting continues, if there are not enough people to immigrate to Shibian, what will happen to the land that has been struck?

What Li Chengyan said in the memorial is also the truth, and there have been no problems because of my reasons.

In addition to the reasons of the people, the problems of the officials must also be considered-if there are not enough officials, what if the people are willing to help?Is there still a marching law? "

Zhu Cixiu, who had received a slap on the head, didn't take it seriously, but said with a faint smile: "What the father said is not wrong, it can indeed be ruled by military law."

Emperor Chongzhen glared at Zhu Cixiu and said, "You are the only one who is smart!"

This is the point of view of the problem is different.

Zhu Cixiu's point of view is more like what a seasoned veteran can say, but not what a qualified prince should say.

Immigrants can just talk about it?

Do you know that Guo Yunhou, whose eyes are starting to turn red, is about to go crazy?

With the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, plus those large and small prefectures and counties, how many people will need to relocate?

As the weather turns cooler, shouldn't these guys have some clothing to match?Should they come right away?How many will die on the way?

These are all vain money, and the Ministry of Accounts needs to allocate the money, which is equivalent to slowly cutting the flesh of Guo Yunhou with a blunt knife!

Not to mention the ammunition and supplies that the East China Sea Fleet and South China Sea Fleet need to consume every day.

And artificial.

It is simply impossible to rebuild the Suez Canal without tens of thousands or even 10,000+ laborers.

In addition to this, it is necessary to equip this tens of thousands of labor force with supervisors and soldiers who "guard" the safety of the laborers.

Then, there are the supplies for these people, the supply method and the cycle, and the things to be prepared are simply endless in a day or two!

These things, if the two sides do not discuss and negotiate well, it is simply impossible.

After teaching Zhu Cixiu, Emperor Chongzhen once again returned to the big tent and stood in front of the huge map.

Emperor Chongzhen still knew who that unlucky Di Xin was—his martial arts were really good, and he could beat anyone like a scumbag, but he never thought that his own family would have problems first.

But now, the only thing he wants to be better than Di Xin is that he doesn't have to worry about rebellion when he is alive, and the rest may not be as good as Di Xin at all.

After a long sigh, Emperor Chongzhen finally made up his mind and made a difficult decision.

PS: I have lost 76 leaders, if you see it, please help me find it, thank you!

Although Chapter 673 is far away in China, it should be sought.

Emperor Chongzhen decided to run back to Daming, and by the way, translated the two wonderful books "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" into Arabic, and then printed them in large quantities so that everyone could afford them.
