Chapter 762 Preparing for War with India
At the same time, the Daqin Navy Department is located in Qilu.
Recently, I have received many, many requests for help.
These requests for help come from the holders of the plunder license.
It has been a while since the Daqin government sold licenses for plundering.
During this time, large numbers of private individuals purchased licenses to plunder, and construction of ships began to go to sea.
However, because they do not have a lot of experience, they did not gain much at the beginning.
Later, after getting started slowly, I also started to make relatively good profits.
In addition, they also spent a lot of money to hire some experienced old sailors, which brought their income to a higher level.
People who have tasted the sweetness also know the benefits of plundering licenses.
But after all, it is still a private force, and at the beginning, they did not encounter any effective resistance.
It is easy to plunder a large amount of supplies.
So they took it for granted that this is a risk-free activity, and began to try boldly.
Some of them pointed the finger at Indian merchant ships.
Daqin's plundering license only stipulates that the property of Daqin's own people is not allowed to be plundered.
There is no explicit prohibition, and merchant ships from other countries cannot be plundered.
Indian merchant ships must also be plunderable.
Human nature has a lot in common, and this is especially true when it comes to things like this. Many people don't have good intentions, but have the same thoughts.
India is not considered a small country. They have had good foreign trade relations with Daqin for more than a year.
It can be seen from these transactions that their own national strength is still not weak.
Therefore, the supplies they carry must also be of great value.
The last time Liu Bang killed an Indian businessman at the port of Lingnan.
After a period of fermentation, it is reasonable to say that India's understanding of Daqin is limited. They think they are strong, and they should take the initiative to trouble Daqin at this time.
But it has been a while, and India has not taken any action, and I don't know why.
But since they still dared to send merchant ships, and Daqin did not expressly prohibit it, they could not plunder.
Then this big fat sheep naturally became the target of public criticism.
As a result, a large number of people with plundering licenses targeted Indian merchant ships.
However, when it was time to actually do it, these people with a plundering license discovered it.
It turns out that Indian caravans are indeed powerful, and they are fundamentally different from the small tribal boats they plundered in the past.
They went forward to confront each other with an attitude of underestimating the enemy, but naturally they returned in defeat.
A large part of them were directly annihilated. Not only did they get nothing, but they also took their own lives.
So after the follow-up plundering team knew this situation, they didn't dare to attack the Indian caravan rashly.
But often the more this is the case, the more lucrative the benefits are.
Not daring to do it doesn't mean they don't want to do it, but relying on their own strength, they can't do anything with the Indian merchant ship, so someone thought of hiring the Great Qin Navy.
This is also what they have explained when they purchased the plundering license.
When more and more plundering teams made such demands on Daqin's navy, Daqin's navy also began to pay attention.
The navy naturally knew that India had trade relations with Daqin.
But the core secret is only known by the senior generals in the navy, and a few people know that ordinary generals cannot make decisions.
They are also afraid of undermining the trade relationship between the two countries.
So the matter could only be reported to the top management.
After Zi Wangli left, Zhang Han is now the top general of the Great Qin Navy.
Zhang Han is naturally very clear about the real reason why Daqin did business with India.
But this time, if Daqin Haijun made a move, it would be tantamount to completely tearing his face off with India. He can't make a decision on this matter, so he can only send someone to send a memorial to Xianyang.
To make such a big decision, Ying Yu needs to nod in person.
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Yu looked at the memorial sent by Zhang Han.
In fact, for Ying Yu, it was a matter of time.
It is not surprising that it happened at this moment, and its handling method is also extremely simple, and it is directly agreed.
After all, there was trade with India at the beginning, and it was just to understand India's strength.
That was also because Ying Yu was not in Daqin during that time.
Now that Ying Yu has returned, the time for him to send troops to the world is getting closer and closer.
So at this time, it was a little earlier than he expected to directly tear his face off with India.
But the problem is not too big, and now they have just sold a large number of plunder licenses.
If their rights and interests cannot be guaranteed, Daqin's official reputation will inevitably be damaged.
This is something Ying Yu must never see.
For Ying Yu, he wanted to create a government that the people would absolutely trust.
Therefore, the reputation of the government is the most important thing for Ying Yu.
This matter will play an extremely important role in the future when the Great Qin Kingdom expands to the world.
At that time, only when all the people believed in the government of Daqin, what Daqin was going to do could continue.
And this kind of trust requires unconditional absolute trust.
Because Ying Yu knew exactly what he was going to do in the future.
If the people's beliefs are not enough, they may start to question the government of Daqin from within.
At that time, the Daqin government will be in a predicament of both internal and external affairs, and it is very likely that Ying Yu's plan will be difficult to realize.
He wanted to emancipate the minds of humans in this era, but this emancipation of minds brought another disadvantage to Ying Yu.
That is, they can think independently, and what Ying Yu wants to do in the future does not require them to think.
Therefore, Ying Yu must win over the hearts of the people before doing those big things.
This time, Daqin's government was asked to sell the plunder license, on the one hand, it wanted to make a profit.
On the other hand, it is also to let the people know that the government of Daqin will not monopolize the benefits, which is completely different from before.
No matter what benefits there are, they will definitely be shared with ordinary people.
Coupled with Ying Yu's previous series of systems, they are actually guiding the common people to think in the direction Ying Yu wants.
Today, the people of Daqin have almost blind admiration and trust in Ying Yu.
It was all the result of Ying Yu's policies and methods, but it was not enough for Ying Yu.
Because what he wants is not to let the people believe in him unconditionally, but also to believe in Daqin unconditionally.
