() There is actually nothing to talk about in the so-called cooperation agreement. The official representative of the Ming Dynasty was not Zhu Youcong but Zhou Fengxiang. This guy didn't seem to care much about how much benefit his country could get.
After deceiving and bribing Devigne, who was acting as a translator, Governor Cohen and Sir Roy failed to obtain from each other the right to visit the in-breeding demon battleship that was still docked in the open sea. They had already obtained what they wanted.
Everything he wanted. He even managed to convince the fat man through this guy, agreeing to stay the army for a year while the coalition crossed the river, and entered the Indus River to help them stab the Mughal Empire in the back! The two of them were ecstatic the most.
What's more, this time the Ming general didn't need money, land, or population. As a price for hiring this terrifying army, they only had to pay for something they had never heard of, Indian sacred oil!
Of course, Cohen and others who are full of exploratory spirit will not think that the damn fat man will really provide almost free help. Since he has made this request, it will definitely be very important to him and even the entire Ming Dynasty! After some careful inquiries,
They finally got an incredible piece of news from the translator Devigne, but they had to take it seriously. It turned out that the gunpowder formula left by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the West was incomplete, and what was missing in it was this divine oil! And Ming Ming
There is not much left in the country now, and we urgently need to obtain the formula and produce it ourselves...
After this explanation, even the wisest Sir Roy called it a fluke. This damn fat guy is really a thief. He was throwing a big pie, but in fact he wanted to use our hands to disrupt the entire area.
Send people around to search for this formula that can quickly increase the strength of the Ming Dynasty? Now that we know this secret, no matter how difficult it is, we must get the formula in front of him to curb the development momentum of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the scene on the dock will be very...
May be staged on a larger scale!
"Husband, what is the use of that Indian sacred oil?" Because he had to stay here for a few days, Zhu Youcong was reluctant to let the two troubles continue to suffer, so he sent someone to take them to the shore. Of course Zhang Yan knew that now the new
The gunpowder used by the army was a new type of gunpowder that had nothing to do with it, but even with her knowledge, she had never heard of such a thing that might affect the fate of the Ming Dynasty.
"Is this..." Zhu Youcong really couldn't explain it. Although the thing was said to be a men's product, how could he afford such a high-end thing as a migrant worker in his later generations? The reason why it is said to be related to the national destiny?
Is it because he wanted to use Chongzhen as a guinea pig and was afraid that the Ming Emperor who would collect three thousand beauties in the future would not have enough energy?
"Can't you even know who I am?" Zhang Yan would inevitably be a little unhappy after not being able to see Zhu Youcong come home for a long time.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's really..." Regardless of whether it is a legend or not, Zhu Youcong can't resist the lethality of the two evil and resentful eyes, so he can only get close to Zhang Yaner.
Bian said softly: "This thing is a gift I am going to give to the emperor's brother. It is said..."
"Bah! You..." Zhang Yan suddenly remembered that the person who said this was her unruly husband, and quickly swallowed the scolding that was about to come out. Instead, she blushed with embarrassment.
She looks even more charming and touching.
"Brother Cong, can you tell me too?" The sour smell of the little lemon may come out at any time. Although she is not jealous of her sister, she is not willing to be kept in the dark by herself. Anyway, these are things
There was no one else in the bedroom Yi provided to the Ming Dynasty general, so she simply stayed with the fat man.
"Dear General, may I come in?" Even on his own territory, Cohen still showed the courtesy of a gentleman in front of his powerful allies. Thanks to his not-so-weird tone of voice.
Only in time did he stop the little fairy's irritating behavior, and also avoided a family tragedy of murdering her husband after she knew the answer.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" After half a cup of tea, the red glow on Zhang Yan's face gradually faded away and returned to normal. The careless little fairy also sat down quietly beside her. Zhu Youcong tidied up.
His clothes responded to the door: "Please come in!"
"Dear General..." After carefully checking around, he found that the iceberg-like beauty was not in the room. Cohen, who felt that he would not be shot for no apparent reason, finally set his sights on sisters Zhang Yan. This was not him.
What kind of crooked idea was he having? He just couldn't figure it out. Why would such a greasy-looking general from the Ming Dynasty marry such two beauties who were so weak that they could be blown away by the wind? Is this the aesthetics of their Ming Dynasty?
If this is really the case, you have to think carefully about the selection of the emperor to confuse the Ming Dynasty. Although most of the princesses in your country can be blown away by the wind, it must be a typhoon!
"Cough...cough..." Although the two troublemakers put on face masks again, Zhu Youcong was still not used to someone staring at his wife like this. He asked: "Mr. Governor, you are here with Sir Roy.
But what’s the matter?”
"This..." Inquiring about the emperor's hobbies can be left at the end. The purpose of Cohen's visit this time is to negotiate a big deal with Zhu Youcong.
"You want to buy arms from me?" Zhu Youcong was confused after listening to Devine's serious translation. These smart politicians were kicked in the head by donkeys? Don't they often sell weapons to Tatars and Japanese pirates? Even our Ming Dynasty
I used to buy Hongyi cannons and muskets from them before, why did it suddenly happen the other way around now? The money-hungry little fat man really wants to sell arms, but new firearms and gunpowder will not be available for a long time in the future.
They are all for the exclusive use of the Ming army and cannot be sold to the outside world, and those old weapons are probably not wanted by others!
"Yes, dear General, please provide us with a batch of gunpowder mixed with divine oil because we are allies! This way we can defeat the Mughal Empire faster and complete the agreement between us...
"If someone else had told Cohen that something must be added to gunpowder, the shrewd governor would probably have kicked the liar into the sea and would have been half-believed at most. But the person who said this came from a powerful person in the birthplace of gunpowder.
The credibility of General Zhenguo of the Ming Dynasty is at least 90%, otherwise where would his terrifying lethality come from?
"But here..." No, does anyone really believe in such ridiculous things as adding Indian sacred oil to black gunpowder to increase its power? Zhu Youcong was really embarrassed to be so deceptive. He wanted to tell Cohen that it was when he was bored.
It's just an excuse, don't take it so seriously!
"Dear General, we also understand that gunpowder is a strategic material for your country, but you also know that we do not have many troops in the east. If we cannot get enough help from you, I am afraid..." Zhu
Youcong's hesitation was directly interpreted by Roy as distrust of his allies. Although he had already made up his mind to control the production of the sacred oil before others did, it would still take time to test its effectiveness in gunpowder even after getting it.
proportion, so the money that should be spent has to be spent.
"No, I..." Is this a threat? Don't you know that I don't eat anything soft or hard?
After all, Reyoz had spent some time around the Ming Dynasty, and he knew the principle of taking advantage of someone with short hands and a weak mouth. He handed over a huge box with his own hands and said: "Dear General, here is a little bit of our thoughts, please accept it.
!”
"This..." Looking at the large box of pure diamonds, Zhu Youcong was shaken. Even though this thing was not as attractive as his own glass in the eyes of those two misfortunes, but if it was used in the research institute,
It’s a treasure to use on various tool molds, and it can improve production efficiency a lot!
"My kind general, please meet our request!" Luo Jacob stood up at the right time and cheered Zhu Youcong: "The two governors were envious after seeing the gunpowder you gave me...
"
The gunpowder Luo Jacob carried with him? Isn't it the ones mixed with copper oxide? Zhu Youcong finally understood why people were fooled, but the performance of this magic stick was really gratifying. It seemed that he still knew very well.
Without the support of Ming Dynasty, he is nothing! No wonder people say that as long as the benefits are big enough, these people would even dare to sell their souls. In order to secure the position of Archbishop of the East, this guy can successfully get on the throne of the Pope and trick his own people.
I'm much more ruthless.
"Although I feel your sincerity and am willing to help, but..." They are all trying to fool me. If they don't agree, it will really be a loss of face, and it is very likely to make their allies feel grudges. However.
It's not easy to get Zhu Youcong to agree. This damn fat guy never knows how to give up when he's ready.
"If the general agrees to facilitate this transaction, then we are willing to give you 10% of the profit based on the transaction price!" After receiving the signal from the two governors, Reyoz gritted his teeth and endured the pain and threw out his final trump card.
.
"Sure! In this case, I will take the risk of being scolded by the emperor. I will help you again!" He even used bribery. If he continues to be reserved, if others also set up a honey trap for Zhu Youcong, then he will have to
Beware of being stepped on by the little fairy.
"Thank you! Thank you, the kind General!" You must not discuss such a trivial matter as price with this damn fat man, otherwise he would be so greedy that he would not know what sky-high prices he would shout out.
"But..." Zhu Youcong, who was full of bad intentions, suddenly thought of a bad move. And he believed that once he said it, the other party would definitely burst into tears of gratitude, and maybe even kneel down on the spot to add to his boots. "You also know this kind of gunpowder.
It’s also very scarce in our country, Ming Dynasty, so I can’t provide you with too many quantities at one time…”
"General, how much can you sell?" The newly ignited hope seemed to have been poured cold water on. Cohen and others' hearts were in their throats. If they could not obtain a large amount of new gunpowder from the Ming Dynasty, how could they sell it in the Ming Dynasty?
After carving up the whole of India, do you still have some leftover to compete with this devil for territory?
"There is a saying in my Ming Dynasty that it is better to be fished than to fish. Although the help I can provide is limited, if you can send the best talents in the country to study in my Ming Dynasty, I will definitely let people teach you all the knowledge.
Give it to them! This not only ensures your supply, but also prevents us from running into shortages..." The angel's smile appeared on the devil's face again, and Zhu Youcong finally said something that no one could believe.
Solution!
"Ah?" Cohen and others, who were still a little depressed just now, patiently listened to Devigne's translation, and after receiving confirmation from Jacob Luo and Reyoz, ecstatic was not enough to describe their mood at the moment.
People come to learn their advanced technology? It seems that gold cakes are really falling from the sky in the East. No wonder the seniors have said that the Chinese are the best to cheat! "General... General, what you just said is for us to send people
Come to study?”
"What? Are you reluctant to part with it?"
"No! No! Great General, we are willing, very willing to accept your gift!" Don't agree? We are as stupid as you. We don't accept such a good opportunity even if ten elephants crush our heads with their butts.
We will refuse! When we learn these skills, it will be your Ming country’s fault!
"However, I need to make one more point! Although I agree with you sending people over, what they can learn depends on the mood of Emperor Ming and their own wisdom. If these people fail to pass the test, it cannot be blamed
I don't keep my word!" I deliberately raised the threshold in order to dig out real elites from the West openly. Anyway, learning can't be completed in a year or two. After these people arrive in the Ming Dynasty, they will go there.
Once the institute is thrown away, it will be classified as a missing person. There will never be any records about them in the world! If the factory guards responsible for torture cannot first empty out the Western knowledge in their heads, they will never receive it in this life.
A penny of salary!
"Understood! Understood! We will definitely live up to your good intentions, General!" It's easy to please the lustful emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Small countries in the West are looking for princesses, so why don't they just grab a lot of them? As for those with high IQ, then that's it.
It’s not a problem anymore. No matter how much money we have, we won’t let idiots who just wait to die to study abroad at public expense. You don’t need to take tests. We will conduct the most stringent screening before departure to ensure that only the best students come.
Excellent scientist!
"As long as you understand, you can discuss the specific cost with Mr. Zhou!" After being noised by a group of flies for a long time, Zhu Youcong was really a little tired. He weighed the diamond box in his hand and felt that the weight was too light to make up for it.
My own loss. "This thing is good, I like it very much. If you still have some that you can't use up, give me another fifty pounds!"
"Plop!" Cohen and others who were about to get up heard this and their legs became weak and they knelt on the ground. This damn fat man was just going to praise you again, but now it seems that you are too ignorant! You know
I don’t know that in the West, these things are measured in carats? One pound is more than two thousand carats, and you actually want fifty pounds with just one mouthful? Do you think this diamond is a Tucara? (To be continued.)
