Chapter 1162 Layout (2)

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "It is not difficult to take Malacca back from Europe, and those European countries are far away from Malacca. It takes a few months at the shortest to travel from Europe to Malacca. I just didn't have the energy to take care of that place before, and now you let me do it, and I'll take him down."

"You only have three enemies left at sea. If the Daming navy doesn't go to sea, this is not your enemy. One of your enemies is Goryeo, but Goryeo has no energy to go to sea now. When Cuiqiao provokes internal wars in Goryeo, I don’t even have the energy to go to sea, so this enemy is not a threat. The second enemy is the Japanese pirates who are active at sea today. I can ask Hu Zongxian to cooperate with you, and both sides will completely wipe out the Japanese pirates. The third enemy is the pirates gathered in Malacca , there are not only adventurers from various European countries, but also pirates around Ming Dynasty. This needs to be dealt with by you.”

"I see."

"Cuiqiao!" Luo Xin looked at Wang Cuiqiao who was sitting on the side.

"master!"

"How are things going?"

"People have infiltrated Korea. Within three months, Korea will definitely be at war." Wang Cuiqiao said in a condensed voice.

"Okay!" Luo Xin's face showed joy.

"That's how it is." Luo Xin looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Tomorrow I will return to Daming, and my cousin will also start to act."

Luo Sheng nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.When Luo Xin saw it, he said, "Cousin, what questions do you have? Ask it. After all, I don't know as much as you do about the various forces in the sea."

Luo Sheng shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "No, don't laugh at me. With this understanding of the general situation, I really don't deserve to lift your shoes. You are in Daming, but you know the whole world so well , Is it true that a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out?"

"Where is it so evil?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

Luo Sheng glanced at Wang Cuiqiao, and his heart moved, probably because of the news collected by Wang Cuiqiao.So she was even more afraid of Wang Cuiqiao, but after thinking about it, even without Wang Cuiqiao, with Luo Xin's ability, she would still be able to cultivate a Li Cuiqiao and Zhang Cuiqiao.Anyway, he has no dissent towards Luo Xin, so there is nothing to be afraid of.After figuring this out, his mood suddenly brightened, and he looked at Luo Dao:
"No, when we attacked the Wa Kingdom, we found an excuse. At that time, although we coveted Ryukyu, we had no excuses and no righteousness. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Wa Kingdom launched an attack on Ryukyu and wanted to occupy Ryukyu. "

"I know that." Luo Xin nodded and said, "Ryukyu once asked Daming for help. It's just that Daming didn't have the energy to help Ryukyu. Moreover, Wa country is very arrogant, and it's not something that can be solved by sending an envoy from Daming."

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "At that time, our Huaxia Kingdom already had a great reputation in the sea, so Ryukyu sent envoys to ask us for help. We sent troops one by one to drive the Wa Kingdom away from Ryukyu, and took advantage of the situation to occupy Ryukyu. I also obeyed your orders, and was very friendly to the Ryukyu royal family, so the Ryukyu royal family also integrated into our Huaxia Kingdom. After that, we attacked the Wa Kingdom for the reason of Ryukyu revenge.

but……

Now we seem to have no excuse to attack Malacca. The situation in Malacca is very complicated. It is not only a gathering place for pirates from all sides, but also a place where various European countries are stationed. Once we send troops to Malacca regardless, it will arouse the anger of Spain and Portugal. Including the anger of European countries.Their strength is not as good as ours, and we can occupy Malacca and drive them away without much effort.However, I am afraid that they have blocked the air routes to various European countries.In this way, the European countries eager to trade will pour their anger on us, and we will become the target of public criticism. If they form a multinational coalition force, even if we are not afraid, they will become a stalemate in Malacca.In this way, we will not get any benefit, but will lose a lot. "

"Yes! We need a righteous excuse." Luo Xin tapped his fingers on the table, looking back and forth on the map. When he saw a location, his eyes moved, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Let's hit here first."

"Luzon?" Luo Sheng looked at the location on the map.

"That's right!" Luo Xin said calmly, "Recently, envoys from Luzon also arrived in Daming."

Luo Sheng's eyes flickered and he said, "I have received news that Franji wants to occupy Luzon. Is this news true?"

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "There has already been a small-scale tentative attack. Facing the powerful Franji, Luzon has no power to fight back, so he sent envoys to Daming to seek shelter. It's just..."

Luo Xin shook his head and sighed: "Since Daming banned the sea, Daming's navy has been abolished. Although Hu Zongxian has been trying to develop a navy recently, the effect is limited. It is barely possible to maintain the coastline of Daming. Want to Expeditions simply don’t have that strength.”

"Luzon is actually not far from Daming, but it is closer to Taiwan. You must know that the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and there are many gold mines there.

In fact, there are nearly [-] Ming people living in Luzon, which is one of the reasons why Luzon is close to Ming. The natives of Luzon are very friendly to Ming people.So under the heavy pressure of Franji, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask Daming for help.

However, it is impossible for Daming to help Luzon.And why didn't Luzon ask his cousin for help? "

Luo Sheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Our rise is too short, others don't know much about their strength, and Ryukyu is in front..."

Luo Xin understands, the first one is easy to understand, although the Huaxia Kingdom has risen, it is just a matter of the past few years.Strength has not been recognized by the surrounding.The second is that Luzon is afraid that the Huaxia Congress will occupy Luzon like it did to Ryukyu.Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said:
"You asked the Ryukyu royal family to go to Luzon as the envoy of the Huaxia Kingdom, and persuade Luzon to become a part of the Huaxia Kingdom. Now that Luzon has reached a desperate situation, once Luzon is occupied by Franji, let alone they are still looking forward to enjoying Luzon. The Ryukyu royal family will tell the Luzon royal family. If they are fully integrated into the Huaxia Kingdom, they can still maintain the throne and enjoy the glory and wealth. The Ryukyu royal family is the best example. I think he can convince Luzon Royal."

Luo Sheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, at first Luzon probably wouldn't agree. But when Franji started to attack Luzon, Luzon had to agree. After all, we can still give them dignity, glory and wealth."
