"Hmm…a hundred thousand. How many troops does King Jingjiang have?”
Zhu Yunhao thought for a moment and said casually.
" Heh…" Mr. Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Hundreds of thousands?
Did he think he was a fool?
How many people were there in Qiongzhou?
Pretending like this?
Alright!
"King Jingjiang only has an army of 800,000. It's not much." Mister Yun smiled disdainfully.”
Zhu Yunhao smiled slightly and was not angry. He continued,"If you don't want to tell me, then let me ask you another question. Why did King Jingjiang send you here?”
"Your Highness, I've already answered your question. It's time for me to ask."”
"Impudent!" Li Qing, who was beside him, shouted,""His Highness is polite to you, but that doesn't mean you can be disrespectful to him. Eight hundred thousand troops?”
"Your Highness lied first. If Qiongzhou has hundreds of thousands of troops, then it wouldn't be difficult for Guilin to raise an army of eight hundred thousand.”Mister Yun sneered.
"It's fine. You can continue asking." Zhu Yunhao waved his hand to dismiss Li Qing and said thoughtfully.
"Your Highness, you have firearms and an army of hundreds of thousands. What do you want to do?”
"Is it hard to understand? Now that the order to cut the vassals has been issued, the vassal kings only have two choices. One is to protect themselves as mercenaries, and the other is to be demoted to civilians. What do you think I want to do?”
"But the order to cut off the vassals has just been given. It's impossible for you to have so many soldiers who have just been recruited, right?”
" It's time for me to ask you," Zhu Yunhao interrupted." What did King Jingjiang send you here for?"”
Hearing this question, the corners of Mr. Yun's mouth curled up slightly. He said,"Your Highness, it seems that you are also a little ambitious.”
"But to achieve great things, ambition alone is not enough.”
"If your fist isn't strong enough to survive in this chaotic world, why not find a powerful backer?”
"Backers? Are you referring to King Jingjiang?" Zhu Yun said.
"Naturally! To be honest, Your Highness can find some time to see His Highness. His Highness has always wanted to make a deal with you.”
"What deal?"
"As long as Your Highness is willing to give up Qiongzhou, His Highness might even hand over Leizhou Prefecture…No, even the entire Guangdong Province to Your Highness!”
"Guangdong? Was King Jingjiang going to attack Guangdong? Are you confident?"
"I wasn't confident at first, but with your help, I'm sure it won't be a problem.”
"Why can this king help? How could such a big city like Guangzhou be taken down so easily?”
"Your Highness, are you pretending? You have a craftsman who can make handguns, so it won't be of much use here, but it will be different when it comes to His Highness. If we get more of this thing, then…"
Mr. Yun revealed a yearning expression.
"You want a craftsman? That won't do. There's no room for negotiation. It seems like your prince and I aren't on the same side.”
"That's enough, Li Qing!" Zhu Yunhao waved his hand.”
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Drag this person away and feed him to the dogs!”
"Yes, sir!"
Li Qing raised his hand, and a few guards immediately went forward to hold Mr. Yun.
"Ah?"
At this moment, Mr. Yun was dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, weren't we having a good discussion just now? Why…"
He was puzzled.
This turn was too big.
"Drag him away!"
Li Qing shouted coldly.
"Your Highness! You have to think carefully. I have King Jingjiang behind me. If you kill me, King Jingjiang will not let you off!”
"Please reconsider, Your Highness!"
Knowing that Mr. Yun had been taken away by the guards, Zhu Yunhao did not say anything, but frowned thoughtfully.
"Your Highness, did you really kill him?" Li Qing asked in confusion. Don't you need to use words to force a confession? Maybe we can get something out of him."
"No need," Zhu Yunhao said lightly,"I've almost understood what I wanted to know from the conversation just now."”
"Just now…"
Li Qing was shocked.
He recalled the previous scene and came to a realization.
Previously, he was still puzzled as to why His Highness was so unusually polite.
It turned out that everything His Highness did had a deeper meaning.
Thinking of this, Li Qing looked at Zhu Yunhao with deep respect.
If the world was really in chaos…
His Highness will definitely shine!
He was looking forward to the day when His Highness would be born.
Li Qing cupped his fists and quietly retreated.
At this moment, Zhu Yunhao was deep in thought.
From the conversation just now, he knew that King Jingjiang was also a rebellious and ambitious person.
However, his strength was average. Even if he did not count the flintlock, he was still much weaker than him.
He estimated that there were only about 50,000 to 80,000 soldiers.
This was already very shocking.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, a vassal king could only have the strength of three guards.
Each guard had around three thousand to ten thousand people.
In other words, they could recruit about 30,000 people in total.
This King Jingjiang was able to hide tens of thousands of private soldiers in Guilin. He was also very capable.
After all, Guilin wasn't as remote as Qiongzhou, and there was also the Guangxi Viceroy watching over it.
"It seems that King Jingjiang is also in trouble because of the hidden soldiers, so he has the idea of attacking Qiongzhou.”
"If that's the case, then don't blame me.”
