But weighing the current pros and cons, throwing meat to a dog is better than having it pounce on you and take a bite of it, right?
Even if we wave a big stick to break its legs, we will still be bruised and bruised.
It feels uneconomical.
And then again, if you feed the dog meat, it has to help us guard the house.
If a robber or thief comes, will it pounce and take a bite?
Even if he doesn't bite, just barking a few times will do.
It’s better than not having a dog, right?
To take a step back, they are growing stronger, and we are also growing stronger. As they become stronger, we will also become stronger.
Our height, weight, strength, intelligence, culture and even appearance are far superior to theirs. In front of them, we are complete giants!
The only problem is that we are now infected with a disease. As long as we heal our injuries and regain our health, what the hell are we still afraid of?
As for their little dwarfs, they can blow them away with one punch and flatten them with one kick. If they sneeze, they will become a violent storm. If they fart, there will be a typhoon in their hometown!
"What Xiao Chen said is really inspiring!" Zhu Xiaochuan praised loudly.
"Not only does it make people angry, but it also makes sense." Li Shi also greatly praised, "The most rare thing is that he can look so far, see so clearly, and think so carefully."
"Then which port does Mr. Xiao think is most suitable to open in the future?" Chen Wenqi said.
"Naturally Shunfeng Port is the one that is closest to them. Secondly, it can control their scope of activities, reduce the pressure on the defense of the southern coast, and try to completely cut off their connection with Yizhou Tianxuanhui." Xiao Chen was really thinking too long term.
The main thing is to dispel Li Wanjiang's concerns, because Li Wanjiang definitely does not want to open the ports of Jiangdong County and Jiangnan County Minzhou County at the moment. What he is most worried about is that once the ports are opened, foreign enemies will take the opportunity to enter.
There is no radar, no satellite identification system, not even a telescope. If a ship comes to the port, do you know whether it is a cargo ship, a merchant ship, or a warship?
I'm afraid you'll have to see if someone can fire or not to know.
This is under good weather conditions. If it is cloudy, rainy, typhoon or tsunami, it will be even more difficult to tell.
This is what Xiao Xinghan and the others did when they attacked Minzhou County. They took advantage of a stormy night at sea and extremely poor visibility to sail their warships directly to the coast of Minzhou County. A patrol warship from Dazhou could not tell the difference at all. Is the other party an enemy or one of our own? When we get close and get bombarded by others, we realize that it is an invading enemy!
This is happening even though the coast is blocked and on high alert. If the port is open, how many ships will come in and out every day?
How can you be so defensive?
Moreover, these ports also have Grand Canals leading directly to the mainland...
Shunfeng Port also has a Bailong River, but the Bailong River waterway is narrow and winding, so it is not suitable for large warships to pass through. Moreover, what will happen even if the warships rush in? There is just a desolate land, and you can't find the target even if you want to fire a cannon.
Moreover, Yanyun County is vast and extremely deep. No matter where you go, you will fall into the vast ocean composed of Yanyun soldiers and civilians!
Therefore, if the enemy invades Shunfeng Port, they can only occupy the port, so go ahead, it's not like it has never been occupied before.
This is Xiao Chen's so-called commercial concession, and his so-called military concession sounds quite scary, which is to allow some warships of the Japanese Navy to dock at Shunfeng Port.
Note that it is a stop, not a station. There is an essential difference.
But whether it is docking or stationing, it is equivalent to opening the coastal waters of Shunfeng Port to the Japanese fleet.
In other words, in theory, the Japanese fleet can capture Shunfeng Port at any time.
This may actually be the case.
It sounds scary at first, but if you think about it carefully, it seems feasible.
Because it can't be better than the current situation.
The current situation is that Shunfeng Port and the coastal waters are under the control of the Russians!
Moreover, Xiao Chen's not-so-funny joke made sense, "Isn't it true that we keep dogs just to guard the door? With them guarding the door, the Russians won't dare to cause trouble easily."
"What do my son and all your dear friends mean?" Li Wanjiang asked this question because he was tempted.
Xiao Chen has clearly explained all the pros and cons of cooperating with the Japanese. It is obvious that the pros outweigh the cons.
"If the aftermath can be dealt with, I think this is feasible." The word "deal with the aftermath" that Li Shi said is the key point.
Li Wanjiang and a few others also understood everything.
Whether going to war with the Russians or cooperating with the Japanese, no matter whether the battle is won or lost, the most critical issue is to deal with the aftermath, and who will deal with the aftermath?
"Your Majesty, please come with Yanyun County to deal with the aftermath." Xiao Chen stepped forward and shouldered the heavy responsibility.
That said, it was only him.
"I will not come forward in this matter. I will leave all the power to you. You will contact the Japanese side in Yanyun County on my behalf, but you must be careful in negotiating with the Japanese people and inform you in detail. Send someone to report the results of the discussion to me quickly." Li Wanjiang said.
"My lord, I obey the order." Xiao Chen promised generously.
This can't be blamed on Li Wanjiang Chicken Thief. If the emperor personally came forward to talk to the Japanese people about this matter, it would appear to be less upright and more like a conspiracy.
And there are many things that the emperor cannot say, so it is better to let Xiao Chen deal with the other party. This will leave a lot of room for Li Wanjiang no matter what the discussion is.
Li Wanjiang is really worried if he entrusts someone else to go. He can rest assured if he sends Xiao Chen to go. With this guy coming forward, it should be the Japanese who should be worried...
"Your Majesty, I still have a bold idea that I want to report to your Majesty." However, Xiao Chen hadn't finished speaking yet.
Some people are saying, damn, your idea just now was already very bold, what are you going to do now?
"But it doesn't matter." Li Wanjiang was also curious.
"I think what the prince just said is very reasonable. No matter it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!" In order to make his next words less sensational, Xiao Chen made a first bedding.
"So I think that since we want to eliminate the rat problem, we can use both domestic cats and wild cats for a while... I think we can also try to contact Xiao Xinghan from the Tianxuan Society." Despite Xiao Chen's foreshadowing, But as soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Master Xiao, we didn't hear what you said clearly. Can you say it again?" Chen Wenqi couldn't believe his ears!
"I mean, the Yizhou navy is also quite strong. If we can get them to send a fleet to fight with us, the chances of winning may be better." Xiao Chen said in more detail this time.
"You are not using a cat to catch mice, but you are seeking skin from a tiger!" Wang Anbang was frightened and his face turned pale.
"Is their Tianxuan Society a piece of shit? At best, it's just a paper tiger." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
