Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 270 Zhu Rihe

Zhu Zhanchang thought about the layout overnight, Ashikaga Yoshichi, called Emperor Guangyi, Zhu Yunwen, Kui Organization, all the Dongying forces that he wanted to deal with have now become his own forces to use.

How to use it?
It is now known that both Emperor Guangyi and Ashikaga Yoshichi used Zhu Yunwen as a condition to get the help of Zhu Zhanchang. It's not good to find a suitable person to replace it, and it is not good to replace it yourself. After all, it is better to have your own people in charge of your own people.

Zhu Zhanchang could not support Ashikaga Yoshichi's decision to overthrow the Emperor. The change of regime and the change of the political situation will cause drastic changes in the country. If the two come together, it is estimated that Dongying will be turbulent for a long time, which does not meet its own final needs.

So it seems that Ashikaga Yoshihiro was a better partner, but now it has to be replaced by the emperor.

Ashikaga Yoshihide could never stay, and so did Zhu Yunwen, and they had to be dealt with quietly, and Zhu Zhanyi began to think of a way.

The premise of everything is to see Zhu Yunwen first and confirm that Zhu Yunwen is the real one. No one has seen the others yet.

……

A few days later, a merchant ship from Guangzhou arrived. It was a merchant ship that sailed over without reporting to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. Naturally, the matter was concealed.

Ashikaga Yoshiji rushed to Ota City immediately after he got the news. In the port of Ota City, he saw ten steam merchant ships that he was thinking about, and the port of Ota City could not stop, and the others were parked at sea.

Really, a complete steam merchant ship.

Ashikaga Yoshichi said excitedly, "Your Highness is really a man of his word."

"General Ashikaga, I've thought about it for a while. Not only are steam merchant ships here, but also our craftsmen. I want to build a steam engine factory in Dongying."

When Zhu Zhanchang said this, Ashikaga Yoshichi was taken aback.

"Your Highness, I heard you right. You mean to build a steam engine factory in Dongying?" Ashikaga Yoshichi had fought with Zhu Zhanqian for so long before and got Zhu Zhanqian's steam merchant ship, but he didn't expect Zhu Zhanqian to suddenly A big turn of more than 800 degrees. Is this going to build a factory for myself in Dongying?
How is this going?Can a pie really fall from the sky?
Zhu Zhanyi laughed: "I talked with General Ashikaga before, although there was some friction, I think General Ashikaga and I think very much, and Zhang Xianqi has been in Dongying for many years, and he told me that Dongying is a very beautiful place, and the people here love it. Peace, the people here are kind and friendly, and the general is doing his best for Dongying. Since they have already cooperated, it is better to cooperate more deeply."

"After all, the general gave me Datian Port, and I have to make a little contribution to Dongying." Zhu Zhanyi said with a smile on his face very righteous words, and he believed what Ashikaga Yoshichi said.

Ashikaga Yoshichi then asked, "So, can we also buy steam engines from factories?"

"No!"

Zhu Zhanchang immediately refused, which made Ashikaga Yoshichi somewhat incomprehensible.

"You're welcome to buy it. General Ashikaga, do you still remember what I said earlier about creating a consortium with your Excellency to control the steam merchant ships?"

Ashikaga Yoshichi had a new mind at this time. He felt that Zhu Zhanzhen might not want him to own a steamboat so easily, so he threw sugar-coated cannonballs.

"That's what I think. We still set up a consortium to control the steam engine factory. The steam engines and steam merchant ships that will be produced in the future. General Ashikaga said that it's polite to buy them, and they are all our own."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is stupid, what colorful pies are falling from the sky, it is more beautiful than what I dreamed of.

Zhu Zhanchang actually let him participate in the manufacture of steam engines, and let Dongying actually own a steam engine factory. Although it was a cooperation between the two parties in name, the factory was located in Dongying, and the steam engine was built in Dongying. Isn't this just for himself?
No wonder I went out to step on dog shit today, and it was delivered.

Zhu Zhanzhen did not do this just because he was hot-headed. First, he had to gain enough benefits in order to gain trust and Ashikaga Yoshichi, and second, it was to make Zhu Yunwen completely lose his value.

The Kui organization led by Zhu Yunwen was in Hiroshima, aiming at the intelligence work of Daming, as well as the research and development of steam engines. This is their main task.

Ashikaga Yoshihito betrayed Zhu Yunwen and intended to ban it.

Now Zhu Zhanchang has shown an unprecedented cooperative attitude to him. In this era, Dongying has temporarily lost the ability to do something with Daming, and it is not necessary now, so the intelligence work against Daming seems to be too big.

As for the steam engine, Zhu Zhanchang will give it to you directly. Although the Kuilai information on Hiroshima has been developed, it is the first generation of steam engine, and its performance cannot be compared with the mature products brought by Zhu Zhanchang. Zhu Zhanchang discovered the potential threat of them stealing Daming intelligence drawings.

No matter in terms of actual value or development space, the value has become extremely low, and the only valuable things now are those hidden piles and Zhu Yunwen himself.

He will find a way to deal with it without Zhu Zhanchang's hands.

At the same time, since it is planned to seize Dongying, then the establishment of factories is to develop their own territory, and it cannot be a deserted place.

"If General Ashikaga thinks this is feasible, then we will start to set up this consortium."

"His Royal Highness loves us so much, if I still hesitate, I just don't know what to do, I can do it today."

Zhu Zhanzhen smiled and shook his head: "General Ashikaga, although the consortium is led by you and me, it can't be just you and me, but both of us. Some people in our Guangzhou prefecture also have to join in. I believe in the same way. The general will also have some subordinates or friends who have to join in, so that they can benefit together for a long time."

Ashikaga Yoshichi instantly understood what Zhu Zhanzhen meant. The two of them accounted for the majority, but some important people had to be brought in together, so that the consortium they were going to set up next could become even stronger. great thing.

Ashikaga Yoshichi smiled knowingly: "It's still as thoughtful as His Highness thought."

Zhu Zhan's words were right in Ashikaga Yoshichi's favor. He didn't have the heroic appeal of his father. Before that, the Uesugi Zenxiu Rebellion occurred in Kanto, and he almost shook himself.

Those nobles and high-ranking officials who hold power have to be united together, and they can firmly stand on their side in order to stabilize their rule.

And this newly established consortium is the cooperation between Daming and Dongying, and the future is limitless. He can foresee the wealth brought by the steam engine, and perhaps Dongying will become the second Canton House in the future.

And those nobles who get a share of it will continue to contribute to themselves, and their status will be more stable.

Do more than one thing, you can't ask for it.

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he felt that Zhu Zhanchang had started to help him by doing this, to stabilize his position, to overthrow the emperor in the future, and he would be the real master of Dongying.

"I really admire what Your Highness thinks and thinks. Your Highness is like this. I will not hide my clumsiness. From tomorrow, I will send a letter to some people to let them come."

"Okay, wait for the good news, let's set the headquarters of the consortium in Daejeon City."

Ashikaga Yoshichi immediately set off back to Kyoto to call together some of the most important noble leaders under his command to discuss this matter.

Everyone was very surprised when they heard that Zhu Zhanchang was going to build a factory in Dongying, and they all had a share in it, but they also suspected Zhu Zhanchang's purpose. Steam engine plant, it doesn't make sense.

But Ashikaga Yoshihide is very confident. In his opinion, after negotiating the conditions with Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanqi made a compromise on the matter of Zhu Yunwen. At the same time, he believes that Zhu Zhanqi is still an ambitious person. , There is a reason for his own ambition to establish a steam engine factory in Dongying.

"Everyone, everyone, you don't have to worry about the purpose of the Prince of Pearl River. I am sure that I can control the Prince of Pearl River. This will be an important opportunity for us to improve our strength." Ashikaga Yoshichi said very confidently.

The aristocratic Fugashi Mancheng of Dongying asked: "General Ashikaga, you have to be careful with the sudden kindness of the people of Daming."

"Don't worry, everyone, the Prince of Zhujiang County has leased Daejeon City and the port from us to build a factory, which is beneficial to us without any harm. I believe that many of you have heard of the current situation in the Nanyang Kingdoms, relying on and Guangzhou Prefecture. In recent years, the economy has prospered and the income of port leasing has increased sharply.”

"But General Ashikaga, the countries of the South Seas, are now controlled by Daming's economic lifeline and controlled by others."

Ashikaga Yoshichi was still very confident, but he couldn't tell the story of Zhu Yunwen: "We are different from the Nanyang countries, and everyone here is different from the leaders of the Nanyang countries, I believe in ourselves, I believe in our East Ying, and according to The spies have reported reliable news that the Great Emperor of Ming Dynasty has become a declining trend."

Hearing this, everyone talked a lot, and the situation of the Great Emperor of Ming Dynasty, those of them who did not have espionage intelligence, were not clear.

Ashikaga Yoshichi knocked on the table: "Everyone, everyone, be quiet, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty is declining in the west, and Daming is at a time of turmoil. At this time, Daming visited both Korea and Dongying, and he was generous in Korea, and when he arrived at Dongying, it was so much fanfare. Good for us, you can guess why?"

Everyone's faces changed at this time, and everyone began to think in their minds.

In their opinion, Zhu Zhanchang's trip is to enhance his influence and prestige, and what he has done in North Korea is already very obvious.

The battle for the throne is not yet his turn, but it will be his turn next.

Ashikaga Yoshihiro let everyone discuss and then knocked on the table: "My cooperation with the Prince of Pearl River is very beneficial to myself and everyone here, you can understand the reason and provide help, Do I understand enough?"

"General Ashikaga, how much can we get?"

"The Prince of Zhujiang asked them to account for [-]% of Guangzhou Prefecture and [-]% of us. After all, they need their technology and production capacity. This disadvantage is also reasonable. [-]% of Dongying's [-]% is reserved for you. ."

"What does the general call the highest bidder?"

"This, I have to wait until Datian City, and the Prince of Zhujiang County will tell you in person." Ashikaga Yoshihide sold it off, but in fact he didn't understand it himself, but he couldn't be seen by others.

Zhu Zhanchang told him what shares and what went up and down, but he understood that he had seen a ghost.

Zhu Zhanchang said that this is the latest consortium form on the Great Wall Street in Guangzhou, and even their shares can be traded publicly.

Because he believed that as long as the steam engine factory, other factories were in Dongying, some other forms of things did not matter, as long as the final decision in Dongying was in the hands of the general of Dongying.

"Everyone, get ready, I will go to Daejeon City or send a representative to Daejeon City. The Prince of Zhujiang County will open the purchase of the consortium's shares in Daejeon City in the next ten days. You are all eligible to subscribe."

"General Ashikaga, you haven't said the name of this consortium yet?"

Ashikaga Yoshichi kept a smile and looked smug in the spring breeze: "The Prince of Zhujiang said that since it is a cooperation between the two parties, they will form a consortium with the names of the two parties. and."

Everyone praised the sincerity of the Prince of Zhujiang County from the name alone.

After Ashikaga Yoshichi informed the news, the group of high-ranking aristocratic officials began to prepare to buy the shares of the [Zhu Rihe] consortium. These people are the top of the East Ying, the top of the pyramid, and every family is rich. Flowing oil, especially after the opening of business with Daming these years.

There's no reason to throw more money at such a good opportunity this time around.

After discussing the matter with this group of dignitaries, the people around Ashikaga Yoshichi asked, "General, do I need to notify Emperor Shimitsu to go?"

Ashikaga Yoshichi was stunned and almost forgot: "No need, His Majesty the Emperor is still recovering from his injuries, so don't bother him with these things. After all, His Majesty's health is very important. If there is a mistake, we can't afford it."

Looking for a random reason, Ashikaga Yoshihide excluded Emperor Shimitsu, and there was no need to continue to carry those who were to be abandoned in his plan.

"But it's not good for the general, such a big thing."

After all, Huang Huang is nominally the owner of Dongying, so the matter of renting out a city must at least be reported.

"It doesn't matter." Ashikaga Yoshichi has become less and less concerned about the emperor: "You can send someone to report it, so I believe that the emperor will not object to things that are of great benefit to Dongying. It's over."

"Yes, General."

When his subordinate was about to leave, Ashikaga Yoshichi stopped him again: "Also send someone to Hiroshima to inform Taishang Komatsu, let him go to Ota City."

The pupils of his subordinates dilated: "General, this is not in line with the rules? Empress Komatsu Taishang has already retired, and he stepped over the emperor called Guangxi, but let the emperor Xiaomatsu attend. This is not good."

Ashikaga Yoshihisa smiled disdainfully: "What are the rules and regulations, my rules are the rules, just do it."
