Two hundred and ninetieth chapters tireless teaching
The whispers in Honglu Temple are still going on. The Western envoys who have completed their purchases and are packing their bags have no time to run to the Qinhuai River like Ansel all day long. For Roy and others who have been wandering in the East all year round,
Japanese women who were originally very good at providing special services were indeed more likely to turn into wolves after being packaged by the masters of the Ming Dynasty. Although it has been suggested more than once that the copycat version of the nun's outfit is a bit eye-catching, but even the messenger group
The most devout believers here also admitted that they could not resist this temptation. But in any case, this is just an additional entertainment activity. Didn’t the Ming Dynasty give away dozens to one family? You can also take your time on the way back.
Enjoy, why waste your time on romantic things now?
As for the outcome of the negotiation, Roy and others are basically confident. Although the asking price for arms has exceeded their expectations, with that kind of evil cold weapon, wouldn't it be more convenient to rob in the future? Moreover, those negotiators from the Ming Dynasty
I definitely don’t know the market price, but a piece of exquisite Fu Kiln jade and porcelain is only exchanged for a hundred worthless slaves. This is simply a hugely profitable transaction.
However, there were so many things for sale in the Ming Dynasty, so much that the Western envoys felt a little dissatisfied. The gorgeous and thin new silk, the Ming Dynasty clocks with full functions and accurate timekeeping, and the new navigation equipment that was small and exquisite and easy to carry.
The instruments... simply dazzled them.
These things are both expensive and cheap. The reason why there are two completely opposite feelings is determined by the way of purchasing. Like Fuyao jade and porcelain, these goods need to be exchanged for the same weight of silver or even gold.
, but if you choose to barter and sign a trade peace treaty in Ming Dynasty, you only need thirty to two hundred slaves to exchange for one.
What annoys the cash-strapped Roy and others even more is that unlike the previously available goods such as arms, which could be paid on delivery, the profiteers of the Ming Dynasty who produced these civilian products said that small businesses do not accept credit, and you have to pay if you want.
Money was given to slaves. In the end, the Western allies collectively lodged a strong protest and wanted to reduce the purchase of Shenxian Powder. This forced Zhu Yousong, who was in charge of the negotiations, to make concessions and agreed that the Ming court would first pay for the purchase of the envoy.
The artillery on their battleships, so that they can have money to purchase some samples to stimulate the Western nobles.[
As for the specific transaction price, no one knows. Anyway, Roy and Cohen's battleships are destined to be disarmed, and the more than one hundred artillery pieces will soon be dismantled and installed on Ming Dynasty's merchant ships. Fortunately,
There are no pirates along the way from Macau to Batavia Port. As long as you are careful not to be discovered by the Spanish fleet in Luzon when you come here. And the envoy from the Principality of Provence who mortgaged all the ships to the Ming Dynasty profiteers will probably have to find him.
Others have to buy a boat ticket to return home.
Compared with these ordinary envoys who had little knowledge and only knew how to purchase goods on a large scale, Shivera, who was secretly sneaking to Fuwang Courtyard to negotiate, seemed much more depressed. He finally cooperated with Anastasio to persuade the kind-hearted Daming Town
The Chinese general agreed to help them destroy the Spanish fleet that took the bait. Of course, the price exceeded their original expectations. Not only did they have to recognize the Ming Empire's rule over Luzon, but they also had to sell the city of Malacca to the Ming Dynasty.
Saying it is selling is actually the same as giving it away for free. Twenty taels of silver to buy the city of Malacca, it is better not to give it! Although Zhu Youcong has a standard oriental face and his smile is so innocent. But Shivella dares to swear to the Lord
, under the yellow skin of this damn fat man, he must have a body so black that it can absorb all light, and a good appetite enough to swallow any object. With such a thick skin, including the weapons produced by the people of the Ming Dynasty.
, may not be able to penetrate.
Zhu Youcong, who was idle and chatting, wanted to fish. But considering his huge body, it would definitely not work if the place was too small. Fortunately, he had an elder brother who was an emperor, and the kind-hearted Chongzhen just took it easy, and the entire Pacific Ocean belonged to him.
The fish pond was privately contracted by General Zhenguo of the Ming Dynasty. As for the time limit, it seems that there is no word on it. Anyway, this little fat guy only has three days of enthusiasm. Maybe he will give it to the court one day?
Of course, this place is a bit big. There are also many people stealing fish, and it will take time to clean it up. But what does it matter? He is a relative of the emperor, a Ming Dynasty general who defrauded and abducted with a national license. This is a trivial matter
Can it be difficult to catch him? Han Xu's group of stubborn old men are unwilling to help? Then he will take action himself.
Zhu Youcong's excuse for taking advantage of the situation is very strange, because Princess Libao of the Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty once married to Malacca, and according to the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty royal family, this was a very serious mistake. In order to wash away this shame for his ancestors, he will go to Malacca on a certain day to wash away this shame.
Recover his homeland at the right time. If Shivera is unwilling to hand it over, although it will not affect the agreement reached between the two countries, we cannot blame him for taking care of the Spanish fleet...
"General..." Anastasio wanted to die at this time. The ruined city of Malacca was worthless, but it guarded a very important sea channel. Any businessman who wanted to make a fortune in the East had to pass through.
There. And judging from the Ming Dynasty's wealth, the Strait of Malacca will soon develop into a golden waterway. In the foreseeable future, just a few tolls can far exceed the income of other colonies.
And Shivera, who had spent a whole year studying Eastern history seriously, was even more hateful, but he really didn't dare to hate the Ming Dynasty's general. At most, he would just use some Western witchcraft to curse this fat man behind his back. He
What I hate is the person who treats history books as novels and writes them down.
After all, Han is old and his health is not optimistic. He wants this apprentice who has never respected him to know that the Donglin Party members have been able to control the government for so long not only because they are good at playing tricks. They also know how to be tough.
When it is time to show strength, you will never be soft-hearted; when it is time to show your strength, you will definitely not hide it.
As a general who presides over military affairs in the Ming Empire, he can't just use childish and ridiculous methods, he must also understand this truth. Sometimes bullying others is the best way to negotiate. Problems that cannot be solved by using your brains and words, just
Violent means can be used to resolve disputes, and only people who understand the truth should be discussed.
"If you give this crappy place to me, how about I give you another big gift?" Before the start of this secret negotiation, Han also reminded Zhu Youcong that it is not difficult to see through other people's plots and avoid them.
The traps will not show any ability. Only those who know how to use the traps dug by others to bury their own traps, not only giving others face but also achieving their own goals, can be considered qualified. Don’t think this trick will not work for Zhu Youcong who likes to fool around.
It's useful, but it's still quite effective when dealing with normal people who follow the rules.
"General means..."
"Don't you want to occupy the Iberian Peninsula and become the new overlord of the West? Although I am very busy, I can help you realize this wish!" After a pause, Zhu Youcong followed Han's teachings and first showed his trump card.
"In terms of weapons, as long as you can organize enough troops, I can guarantee your supply. As for the price, not only are there discounts, but you can also get credit. I will return it when you become stronger in the future and can occupy more colonies in the New World!"
"But..." The conditions offered by the other party are indeed very tempting, but Shwela does not think that the farmers he temporarily recruited can be better than others when using the same weapons. No matter which country in the West,
There are also mercenaries with stronger combat effectiveness.
"Don't worry, Spain. Although I won't go there in person, I have already found someone to clean up their fleet!" Knowing the concerns of others, Zhu Youcong continued: "As for the battle on land, I can send one if you request.
Overseas legions are coming for reinforcements, and of course you have to pay the corresponding fees!"
"General, do you mean to provide us with mercenaries?" Even Anastasio, who had never seen the Ming army fight, couldn't help but get excited after hearing this. The overseas legions of the Ming Empire, that's
The evil reputation is out there.
"Of course, are we allies? But their price is not low, and 80% of the fee must be paid in advance!" Sometimes the lion opens his mouth not to scare the other party, but to let them know the importance of the deal.
.
"No problem. If General you can really help us, we can afford all the expenses!" Shvera had no doubt at all about the combat effectiveness of the overseas legions. He asked Zhu Youcong to help destroy the Spanish fleet this time because he wanted to
He wanted to tie Daming to his chariot and use this powerful ally to defeat others when necessary, but he really didn't expect that this ignorant fat man would actually express his support for him in such a most direct manner.
If there is such a group of demons who can completely regard human life as nothing, will the standing mercenaries in the West with poor military discipline and fighting qualities still be opponents? The Portuguese Empire, this former dream will become a reality again. And this time, the size of the
The vast empire has a more solid foundation in the west, and the name of Shivera will become a legend.
"Since you also have such an idea, maybe we should add some more negotiation items?" Zhu Youcong, who had been struggling to find opportunities to make a breakthrough in the West, was secretly happy. The method taught by Old Man Han was really good.
Mercenaries? Maybe, the overseas legions will definitely help Shwela become the overlord of the West. Otherwise, how would they learn how to fight with the Westerners? But next... there is a saying? It's easy to invite gods, but hard to send them away! (
