Chapter 335 Trade the princess for a battleship!

The Sultan gave the order, and the explanation was so clear that the Minister of State did not dare not go there.

After stuffing the last bite of fish into his mouth, the Minister of State took out a paper towel and wiped his mouth.

"The Ming Dynasty is indeed the legendary kingdom of gold. Look at the paper towels used for dining. They are the softest and best paper I have ever seen in my life. What a waste! Is the Ming Dynasty really that rich?"

Omurad also agreed very much. He reached out and took out a few, folded them and put them in his arms, ready to use them to wipe his butt in the toilet later.

"I heard that they also have a chamber of commerce. Their chamber of commerce should sell this kind of tissue. You can discuss it with the Duke later and see if you can invite their chamber of commerce to open a shop with us."

"Oh, right!"

"It doesn't matter whether the gun business can be negotiated or not. I must buy some of these tissues. I'm tired of wiping my butt with parchment paper and string."

"Ha ha!"

The Minister of State laughed in agreement, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Zheng He with an interpreter.

"I haven't seen Mr. Luo Ke for a long time. It seems that the last time we met was the last time. At that time, I was still thinking that given Mr.'s age, the last separation was probably forever. I felt very sad for a long time, but I didn't expect that today

It’s such a shame to see you again, oh no, I’m so happy.”

Western musketeers reloaded ammunition and fought. In addition to their own exploration, most of them were learned from the Portuguese country, and the Portuguese country learned it from the prisoners of Zheng He's fleet.

But we can't lose face in front of this sworn enemy, and we have to bear it with gritted teeth.

Zheng He: Damn it, His Highness is indeed right. These guys are really rich.

Everyone who saw this team felt envious in their hearts and sighed in their mouths.

One person is sarcastic to the other person who is so old and doesn't take care of himself at home. He still wanders around and be careful of sudden death.

The two people who had just sat down quickly stood up and thanked them.

But today, after seeing how the Ming troops used muskets, Omurad officially understood.

Zheng He smiled awkwardly, replied quickly, and then greeted some of the various forces beside him who were eager to try it and prepared to buy some.

Just when Zheng He was wondering if his heart was too dark, Luo Ke, who had just been so arrogant, rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Representatives from various countries who had been waiting for this moment clapped their hands and stretched their necks to look at a group of Ming army soldiers walking over to the side of the stage with guns on their backs.

Luo Ke: "Haha, let's talk about it. Do you believe what you say?"

"The wonderful shooting demonstration is over. Come on, follow me for a few steps to see the shooting effect."

"Even when some soldiers went to the battlefield to fight, they were naked butts holding wooden sticks."

"Next, we invite our brave warriors from the Ming Dynasty to demonstrate to you the most sophisticated and most powerful flintlock gun in the world!"

"sure!"

After giving the order, the soldier in front pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Good guy, you've shaken my bottom before I even leave. It's easy for you to have no friends if you do this.

When the 10th round of shooting was completed, the soldiers lined up under the command of the squad leader, saluted the audience, and turned around to leave!

"How much does that cost? Our Ottoman Empire bought it."

The stage is no longer the stage at noon.

But thinking about my mission, although I didn't want to be with these dirty slaves, I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Raising his hand to attract Mamluk Minister of State Luo Ke who was sitting next to him and winking wildly, Zheng He revealed all the deals they had just reached as if he was careless.

"They are papermaking, printing, the compass, and gunpowder, which was initially just celebrated for festivals but was later drawn into the battlefield!"

What follows are demonstrations of various types of artillery, as well as the very lightweight Tiger Crouching Cannon.

"The Mamluks have a very strong interest in the weapons and equipment this morning. Mr. Roko considered that the country's national defense was still insufficient, so he customized some weapons and equipment from me and planned to take them back to arm an army to fight against domestic terrorism.

Robbers and roadblockers."

As the bullets were loaded and the squad leader gave the order, the soldiers uniformly raised their flintlock rifles and aimed at the target in the distance.

"1st Platoon fire!"

After a moment of diplomacy between the two, Oliver pretended to be suddenly enlightened, then his expression changed and he grabbed Zheng He's hand.

"Thinking that your people are living in dire straits, His Majesty couldn't bear it, so he decided to ask His Excellency Duke Zheng He to bring these weapons to Aden to hold an exhibition. He wanted to see how these sharp weapons that once protected the Yanhuang race could be used.

Can it bring you a trace of security? Can these country-protecting weapons protect your country and race just like the Yanhuang race?"

Both parties met with smiles on their faces, and their words were indeed as sharp as knives.

"This really doesn't work!" Zheng He shook his head again.

"Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty is great."

The main reason for Zheng He's discomfort was not being pestered by the other party, but the pain of not being able to make money.

After receiving the response from the audience, Sashur's eyes flashed with pride, and she pressed her hands toward the bottom of the stage.

"Bang bang bang..."

As the saying goes, the people who know you best are not your relatives, but your enemies.

"Oh, I see!"

"You two also know that I don't speak Arabic well. It's really hard for me to speak so quickly."

The filling steps are all done in bulk, which is usually better. If you have a calm mind, you can estimate the dosage.

"It turns out to be Baron Oliver. I haven't seen him for a long time."

But before he took a few steps, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"I heard the laughter of the two of you from a distance. It seems that the two gentlemen are communicating very harmoniously. I wonder if you can take me with you."

Representatives from various countries who owned muskets had this scene deeply etched into their minds, and planned to teach this method to the army immediately after they returned.

After the teams lined up, under the expectant eyes of everyone in the audience, and under the command of the squad leader, the hundreds of soldiers began loading ammunition.

The person speaking this time was not Sa Xuer, who was also the master of ceremonies, but Zheng He, who was accompanying representatives from various countries to watch.

The other one was not to be outdone and directly mocked the other person as a watchdog.

Artillery is a weapon of war. Although the most primitive artillery sold is, the power of this thing should not be underestimated.

After the three of them sat down, Zheng He personally poured them a cup of milk tea.

It is his habit to scratch his head with two fingers, and it is definitely not to tell the other party the price.

"So that's it. It seems that we have learned from each other."

Target walls built one after another were shattered by artillery fire.

"Load!"

Zheng He didn't know whether he didn't hear the other party's destination or pretended not to understand. He replied with a smile: "I think Mr. Oliver also watched the entire exhibition at noon today."

"In order to protect their own race and resist those greedy enemies, the Yanhuang people sharpened the ritual vessels originally used for sacrifice and the farm tools used for farming to resist the invading enemies and protect their hometown."

If you sell a little, Ming will be able to accept it. If you sell too much, it will not only be of no benefit to Ming, but it may also cause Ming to face these weapons when it attacks in the future.

The distance between the stage and the stage at noon cannot be extended, so we need to change to a larger display location.

"It's trade fair time now. Let's watch the demonstration first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. Let's talk about it later!"

The two of them were bickering and flirting, and under Zheng He's strange eyes, they walked towards the equipment venue, ready to have a friendly and cordial exchange.

The group of people chatted and laughed as they came to the target. They looked at the cracked clay pots and the human-shaped wooden boards that were full of bullet holes. Everyone had different expressions. The only thing that unified them was their shock at the powerful power of Ming's weapons.

But in the complex environment of the battlefield, it is simply impossible for soldiers to accurately estimate the dosage of medicine.

Are you kidding me? You can still consider selling a wooden boat. If you want to buy my ironclad ship, just go ahead and dream about it.

Don't underestimate this small change, just this small change can bring great optimization to the war.

"There is an old saying in Yanhuang: A good man will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others."

"Two hundred taels a gun, the price is quite reasonable. Our Mamluks want 5,000!"

Although he felt depressed in his heart, but now Mamluk needed Ming's help, and his enemy was sitting next to him, Luo Ke had to pretend to be calm and calm even though he felt extremely depressed.

"this…"

"Haha, the friendship between our two countries will last forever. Cheers to peace!"

Seeing the Mamluk representative chatting and laughing with Zheng He, the Minister of State felt disgusted in his heart.

The demonstration stage in the afternoon was very large, big enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Zheng He:"……"

When the time reached the end of the day, Sashur had a nice lunch and took a nap, and stood on the new stage in high spirits.

Seeing the two parties clenching their fists while chatting, Zheng He was worried that the two of them would get angry and start fighting, disturbing his lunch. He quickly stood between the two of them with a smile and invited them to sit down with a smile.

This hundred-man team was once a soldier of the Shenji Battalion. Although they have now been equipped with new weapons, they are still very familiar with the flintlock guns that have been used for several years.

He really wanted to tell the other party that he scratched his scalp just now because he wanted the other party to talk in private, after all, so many people were watching.
