Chapter 286 gains and losses
Gao Qiong's understanding of the sea boats going out to sea has basically understood the costs and resources required for the ocean. When he was surprised by these resources, Gao Qiong also made his own small calculations. Although Dali has a lot of resources, if he really follows what Han Zhenhan said, the manpower and material resources consumed would be huge.
Gao Qiong was right about what he thought, because in the context of the Ming Dynasty about two hundred years later, when the world was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace, the eunuchs of Sanbao only went out to sea seven times with the help of the country. Finally, they were called to stop by the court officials because of the huge financial deficit. The voices of opposition also existed from the beginning.
"You need our Dali to provide you with a fixed number of resources, right? You can't fill holes for you like a bottomless pit..."
Gao Qiong pondered for a while and then looked up and said to Han Zhenhan. His tone and expression seemed to be young and mature, and his posture was full. If it were really an ordinary person, he would be easily frightened by him...
The most troublesome thing about political negotiations is Liu Zheng. After Gao Qiong said this, Liu Zheng was really abducted. Gao Qiong's thinking was that going to sea was so expensive. Isn't Han Zhenhan just a big hole? At that time, the chassis he had paid and worked hard to build would be all added to Han Zhenhan. Then this transaction would be inappropriate, so Liu Zheng also turned his confusion to Han Zhenhan.
But Wang Jian just curled his lips and had no attitude.
"Young Master Gao! I think you may have found the wrong position? You are a nobleman from Dali, but you are not a descendant of the prime minister of Yunnan Province, and we are not going to fight your Dali..."
As an officer from a businessman's family, Han Zhenhan's advantage is to talk about business. To put it simply, Han Zhenhan can easily catch the weakness of being caught when chatting with others, so that the other party can directly compromise or make concessions psychologically. However, good businessmen will never do business that makes the other party feel at a disadvantage. Smart businessmen will only make the other party, or many parties, feel that the money is worth the money and are happy.
Han Zhenhan's words were like a sword, and they directly stabbed Gao Qiong in the heart. This was really sad, especially in that war, Gao Qiong lost his father, his motherland, and his freedom.
Gao Qiong's face was flushed and anger filled his heart, but this young man was really good. Compared with his peers, he had done well enough. He could control himself who was experiencing emotions. It was no longer a self-restraint that ordinary people could do.
"No need for you to help, can I lead my tribe and take back our things?"
Gao Qiong lowered his voice, like a young wolf, lowered his voice, as if he had closed himself up.
"Don't use that kind of nonsense about self-improvement or something to make excuse me. War is about resources and experience. What do you have? And if you want to figure out one thing, we are going to attack Yun... South... Travel... Province... Not to help you, we don't seem to be so pretentious. The resources and experience used for war, as well as the salary and pensions of all soldiers, are not blown by the strong wind."
Seeing Gao Qiong's face turned cold, Han Zhenhan naturally would not show weakness, but he did not say that he would turn his face cold. Dogs that bit people would not bark, and people who kill people would not scare people. Han Zhenhan just said to Gao Qiong contemptuously, and he had not finished speaking yet.
"The reason why you can sit here is not that the Bai people are dispensable in our future plans, but that I don't want the Bai people, or the locals, to hinder our actions. Of course, if you are willing to contribute in the war, sharing the results is not impossible. As for how to share and how much, do you think the dominance should be in your hands, or your Bai people?"
Gao Qiong listened to Han Zhenhan's words blankly. Han Zhenhan said it very concisely and clearly, so Gao Qiong understood that he had the role of the Bai people. The three people present did not take the Bai people seriously.
But this kind of disrespect is well-founded, because in the battle just a few days ago, my own people were indeed vulnerable. If the other party starts a massacre, how many Bai people will survive.
Although Han Zhenhan's contempt made people feel uncomfortable and angry, the facts were right in front of him. Now Gao Qiong also understood what Han Zhenhan's attack was venting his "private anger".
This has nothing to do with personal grudges. The battle a few days ago was when the three people in front of him were showing off their martial power to the entire Bai tribe. They were very successful. In the face of those terrifying aircraft and tens of thousands of enemies, the Bai tribe warriors who were swearing and the arrogant Bai tribe warriors were completely suppressed.
"Then what can you give us the Bai tribe?"
"Did you figure it out?"
Gao Qiong is not an indecisive child. His life experience has made him a courageous and extremely strong child. Han Zhenhan finally smiled when he saw Gao Qiong reacting so quickly.
"I figured it out. Whether I or the Bai people, it is impossible for me to regain Dali in the short term. However, over time, Duan Xingzhi has the support of the Mongols, and only more people and rebels will die in their hands. So I am willing to cooperate with you... But should Mr. Han also say what will this place in Dali and Yunnan Province look like in the end? What will we Bai people do? What can we get? What will you lose?"
Han Zhenhan raised his eyebrows. Gao Qiong still had the style of a politician. At least he looked quite decent when bargaining.
"I'll briefly tell you what you want to do, and what you can get in the future..."
Han Zhenhan began to introduce the specific matter to Gao Qiong. Liu Zheng and Wang Jian around him all heard Han Zhenhan say.
First of all, the Bai people or the original people of Dali should actively participate in this war without dragging them down. Secondly, they should provide a large number of soldiers, and the main combat power is composed of the Luzhou New Army, based on these 30,000 people. The replenished troops and the additional troops will be mainly composed of the current 30,000 people. All the troops with additional troops will be classified as the Luzhou New Army.
Liu Zhen will be the highest official of the Luzhou New Army. The military equipment, food transportation tools, etc. will be all under the responsibility of Liu Zhen. In the future, Liu Zhen will obtain military power in Yunnan. In other words, Liu Zhen has the right to mobilize all the troops in the entire Yunnan territory. However, Liu Zhen will pay for the food, grass and military pay.
