Now Zhu Hexi took advantage of the opportunity of contacting Shinra and the French envoys to directly hit up the next family... This kind of business behavior is really honest and in line with the rules of the game!

The faces of the two heads of the East India Company were of course ugly, but the ugliest of them was not Charlie Goff, who was about to lose the market, but Johann Masek, the governor of the Dutch East India Company.

Because the British East India Company was about to lose only part of the perfume market——Zhu Hechi proposed a plan to "jointly operate the perfume monopoly business" in the "Unequal Treaty" to Charlie Gough.

He didn't want to kick out the middleman of the British East India Company immediately, but wanted to pull them to open a perfume store with the King of France and Emperor Shinra.

Although a single family has turned into four families earning money together, Zhu Heyi promised to provide ten times the amount of "Royal Perfume", and is willing to develop more fragrance types, and is also ready to provide more beautiful ones with the Royal Mark of Ming Dynasty (trademark) Porcelain bottles are used to distribute perfume——Zhu Heqi knows how to deal with this luxury product!

Therefore, the British East India Company did not lose too much, which is still acceptable.

But the Dutch East India Company is now facing a more serious crisis!

Because Zhu Heqi asked the Dutch East India Company to recognize that the Great Ming Dynasty had extensive and undisputed suzerainty in Southeast Asia and East Asia!

That is to say, the "zero-dollar purchase market" in Southeast Asia belongs to Ming... The Dutch either do business honestly, or pack up and leave.

Their colonies in Batavia and Malacca can only exist as vassals of the Ming Dynasty with the "approval" of the Emperor Ming.

"No, this is not acceptable!"

"Absolutely unacceptable!"

Those who shouted unacceptable were the Spanish envoys Santos and Portuguese envoys Sander.

Because the terms Zhu Heqi offered to them were harsher than those offered to the Dutch—the Dutch East India Company is a "commercial company" after all. impossible.

But how could the divine Spain give up the Philippines?It is impossible for the Governor-General of the Philippines to surrender to Daming!

For the East India Company, the cities of Batavia and Malacca were "properties", not sovereignty.Sovereignty in the Ming Dynasty, property rights in the arrangement of the East India Company, barely acceptable.

But the Philippine colony is the territory of the Kingdom of New Spain!

However, Zhu Heqi's request to Portugal was to give up the "guarantee right" in the east... After losing Macau, Portugal only had two interests in the east, Timor Island and the right to protect the church.

Moreover, the seemingly inconspicuous "Guardian right" is even more important to Portugal than Timor Island-with this right, the Kingdom of Portugal can not only send bishops to many places in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but even send missionaries to many places. Go to Emperor Kangxi's side as an advisor!

If Zhu Hechi could recognize that Portugal had the "right to protect the church" in China and allow the spread of Catholicism in China, the Kingdom of Portugal would even be willing to give up Macau.

Zhu and Qi did not need an interpreter, as they already knew their answers from the fierce reactions of the Spanish and Portuguese envoys.

Now only Johan Mathek of the Dutch East India Company remained.

The guy was frowning, as if he was thinking hard.

Looking at his appearance, Zhu Heqian understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Governor Masiike, if you don't want to sign a contract, you can leave with the Spaniards and Portuguese. I know, you Dutch East Indies The company has been sending warships to Ningbo for several months now... it's on the line!

Then let's fight a war. After I conquer Jiangnan, you can come to sign this treaty again.I guarantee that the conditions will not change much, the most is to add some money. "

Chapter 365 Kang Mazi, I'm going to tear you into pieces this time!

The third year of King Ding of the Ming Dynasty supervised the country, on April [-]th, outside Zhangjiang Gate in Nanchang.

Starting early this morning, the gates of the nearby Ganjiang Wharf have once again been controlled by the brigade's "Red Scarf Killing Confucianism".Inside and outside, the security is heavily guarded.

Just after the time passed, a group of carriages and horses drove out from the city of Nanchang in a mighty way—the carriages were all four-wheeled open carriages, and in each carriage sat a few "curly-haired barbarians" wearing wigs .They stared wide-eyed, looking around at the heavily guarded wharf outside Zhangjiangmen.

Today is the day they left Nanchang, they didn't stay in this city for a long time, and they were not happy at all.

The supervisor of the Ming Empire was not only arrogant, but also a bit picky, and the hospitality he gave them could not be compared with that of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.The most exaggerated thing is that the hotel provides unclean food and drinking water.It caused many members of the mission to suffer from terrible dysentery a few days ago, and the most seriously ill was Leibniz, the messenger of King Louis of France!

This unlucky Chinese culture lover was on the verge of dying this morning, and he couldn't leave Nanchang by boat at all, so he could only ask the deputy envoy to bring the two treaty texts and the gift from the Ming Dynasty to King Louis of France back to France.And he himself finished the dying mass ahead of schedule with the help of Father Philip, and now he is waiting alone in that posthouse for the arrival of the god of death...

The wharf outside Zhangjiangmen has been expanding in the past few months, and now the long wharf is full of wooden boats of all sizes.There are also many shirtless workers and soldiers, under the command of Ming army officers, who will use a two-wheeled cart to transport large and small bags of supplies to these wooden boats.

On a few dock berths a little farther away, several human-powered cranes are hoisting a bronze cannon with a polished golden door onto the wooden boat!

Obviously, the Ming army in Nanchang is about to go out to attack the territory ruled by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty!

When the carriages of the members of the mission stopped at the pier outside Zhangjiangmen, the Western envoys on the carriages felt a sense of schadenfreude in their hearts - the Qing emperor's army was so powerful, and it was still in the Yangtze River. A western-style bastion was built on a narrow river bank in the city, and the arrogant Ming Dynasty supervisor would definitely have a bloody head in front of the Qing emperor's army and fortress!

"The supervisor is here!"

Suddenly someone shouted.Ji Dabao, who left with the Western Mission, hastily shouted loudly in Latin: "His Royal Highness Jian Guo is coming! Get out of the car and greet him!"

Zhu Heqi hadn't said that he would come to the pier to see the mission off, but he didn't expect to show up now.

Although the members of the mission didn't like the Great Ming Supervisor, they still had to get out of the carriage and stood neatly on the pier, waiting for His Highness the Supervisor to appear.

They didn't wait too long when they heard a rush of horseshoes, and then saw Zhu Dajianguo in red and yellow scarf riding along the banks of the Gan River under the guard of a group of knights who were dressed similarly to him.

Obviously, the Great Superintendent must have been inspecting somewhere in the wharf outside Zhangjiangmen, and when he learned that the mission was about to board and leave, he came here on a whim to say a few words.

"See Your Highness Jian Guo!"

A group of foreigners bowed casually, and Ji Dabao greeted them in Chinese.

Zhu Heqi looked at the group of Westerners whose attitudes were not considered respectful, and did not dismount, but asked from the horseback, "Why didn't you see Leibniz?"

Charlie Gough, who can speak Chinese, replied: "The envoy of Leibniz is dying. He had already celebrated his deathbed mass in the morning, and now he has probably returned to the embrace of God!"

"Oh, that's such a pity, he's still so young." Zhu Heqi looked regretful.

But he knew very well in his heart—God would have to wait many years before seeing Leibniz.

Because Zhu Heqi had sent his disciple Yan Yuan with allicin to rescue Leibniz early in the morning.At this moment, most of them have been revived, and they should be drinking rice porridge while considering whether to accept Zhu Heqi's employment as an army engineer?

After all...the Western Mission has already returned home, and it is impossible for Breinitz to bear the travel expenses back to Europe alone.And the Chinese magic medicine used to heal him is also very expensive!So he might as well work in China to make money first, and when Louis XIV sends people to China, he can go back with him.

However, Zhu Heqi will not tell the Western missions that are about to leave now that Breinitz cannot die...

He specially came here today from the wharf where the cannons and rocket launchers were shipped, in order to ask them to bring a message to Emperor Kangxi.

"When you go back this time, you should be able to see Qing Yao Emperor Kang Mazi again!" Zhu Heqi said, "So please bring a message to tell Kang Mazi that the lonely general will lead an army of [-] to attack him... Get ready to lose your head again!"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, you said... to drop again?" Charlie Goff was taken aback by what Zhu and Qi said.

"Yes!" Zhu Heqi nodded, "Just fall again! Last time in Sanjiangkou Town, I had already beheaded him once...but he didn't die completely, and came back to life! But next time, Gu not only If you cut off his head again, he will be cut into pieces!"

"The meaning of the broken body is..." Charlie Goff's Chinese is still not good enough!

"It's just chopped into pieces!" Zhu Heqi stared at his eyes and said, "Then feed it to the dog and see how he treats it!"

Charlie Gough was furious when he heard this, and said to himself: "It seems that there is no rule of law if you cut off your head! If you sew it on, can it grow back together? Is Emperor Kang Mazi still a human?"

Just when Charlie Goff was thinking wildly, the sound of horseshoes sounded again, and Zhu and Qi had galloped away.However, he did not return to the wharf where the artillery was being loaded, but flew all the way along the Nanchang City Wall to the very remote Yonghe Gate in the northeast corner of Nanchang City.

A group of Ming army soldiers in red clothes and red scarves surrounded the official receiving pavilion outside the Yonghe Gate. Seeing Zhu Hexi approaching, the soldiers surrounding the pavilion opened a passage and let him rush in.

When they got to the front of the pavilion, Zhu Heqi got off his horse and walked in quickly.

Inside the pavilion, there was also a farewell ceremony going on at this time.

A group of monks were preparing to leave from the Yonghe Gate, all of them were wearing monk's robes, and their bald heads were burnt and scarred, and they all looked like the real thing.

The head monk was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion at this time, saying goodbye to King Zhu and Princess Kunxing!

Seeing Zhu Heqi coming, the great monk hurriedly made a Buddhist salute, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the poor monk is polite when he rises up."

It turned out that Zhu and Qi came to see Yang Qilong off!

And Yang Qilong, who was dressed as a monk, stood in the front line for Zhu Tianwang and Princess Kunxing.

"Mr. Yang, you really look like a monk!"

Zhu Heqi looked at Yang Qilong who looked like an eminent monk, nodded repeatedly and said: "With this appearance, you should be able to get away with it, right?"

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "Don't worry about the supervisor, the poor monk still has something to do with it!" As he spoke, he took out a token engraved with the four languages ​​of Mongolian, Tibetan, Manchu and Chinese, and handed it to Zhu Heqi with both hands, "This is The badge that Prince Chahar Burni gave to the minister... the officials on the Qing Yao side dare not give face to Prince Chahar's mansion."

"Burni..." Zhu Heqi remembered that it was the Mongolian prince who was pacified by Tuhai with a group of coated slaves in the TV series. He didn't expect that this guy had something to do with Yang Qilong.

This Yang Qilong is really capable of tossing around!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi asked, "Can Burni fight against the Qing with us?"

"Of course!" Yang Qilong laughed, "This Burni is the king of Chahar, a direct descendant of Beiyuan, his grandfather is Lin Danhan, and his father Abu Nai was lured into Beijing by Kangxi a few years ago. He has been imprisoned to this day... the country's hatred and the family's hatred, what reason does he have for not rebelling? When the third prince stationed troops in Tianjin, and King Chahar Khan rebelled against him, Wu Sangui could still sit on the Diaoyutai? If Wu Sangui sent his army northward, Nanjing would not be a prison country. in his pocket?"

Chapter 366: Borrowing Teachers to Assist in the Suppression Plan!

"Your Majesty, when we left Nanchang City, we saw with our own eyes that the surface of the Ganjiang River was full of ships of all sizes, at least three or four hundred. Moreover, we also saw that the rebels were casting fine copper gates. The cannon was hoisted onto the wooden boat with a crane...

On the dock of the Ganjiang River, we also met the leader of the rebel army, Zhu Heqi, who boasted in front of us, saying that he would do it again, again..."

In the South Study Room of the Wuying Hall in the Forbidden City, Nanjing, Emperor Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty was receiving the main members of the Western Mission who had just returned from Nanchang.On behalf of the mission, it was Charlie Gough who could speak fluent Chinese and conveyed Zhu Heqi's oral message to Emperor Kangxi.

"What more?" Emperor Kangxi urged and touched his neck... Recently, I don't know if the pillow is too hard, Emperor Kangxi always feels that his neck is not very comfortable.

"He said he would cut off the head of the Great Emperor again," Charlie Gough said cautiously, "and won't let you pick it up and install it again..."

When he said this, a group of foreign envoys sitting on the embroidered pier were all stealing eyes on Kangxi—why does he always hold his neck?Not installed yet?It won't fall down suddenly, will it?

Emperor Kangxi sneered: "He really dares to brag!"

Charlie Gough said seriously: "Emperor, you must be careful... The rebel leader said that if he wants to catch you again, he will not only behead your head, but also chop your body into pieces. Hey the dog... the body is gone, where can the head be put?"

"Bold!"

"shut up!"

In the South Study Room, the ministers of the South Study Room who accompanied Kangxi to summon foreign envoys couldn't help but growl.

Zhu Hechi's words are really irritating!

Killing people is nothing more than nodding, but he is good. Not only does he want to kill the emperor, but he also wants to chop up the emperor's body and feed it to the dogs... It's so hateful!

Emperor Kangxi was also trembling with anger, but he didn't say much to the envoy who sent the message, he just waved his hand and said: "I understand, you all kneel down!"

Several Western envoys were quite "good", they kowtowed to Kangxi, and then went out with Nan Huairen.

Seeing that the envoys had all left, Kangxi let out a low growl: "It's really deceiving!"

"The emperor calms down..."

The big servants below seemed to have been waiting for Kangxi to get angry, and they all fell on the ground neatly.

Kangxi looked at the gang of slaves under his eyes, but still felt that it was not very reliable.This gang of slaves is loyal, but they are all a little weak... Relying on them to protect the Qing Dynasty and keep their heads is not enough!

When he was anxious, Duo Long, the minister guarding the gate, came in, bowed his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please see me Hong Shiming."

Hong Shiming is the son of Hong Chengchou, the "internal diplomat" who made the unequal treaty for Kangxi before, but after the treaty was completed, this guy didn't return immediately, but went to the hero meeting with President Wu, after the hero meeting ended I went to Jingzhou with President Wu again... I was waiting for President Wu Lixian to ask him to come out of the mountain to help!

But after waiting for a long time, Wu Sangui ignored him at all.I had no choice but to come to Nanjing with the cheek again.After arriving in Nanjing, Emperor Kangxi didn't want to see him, please see him several times but didn't see him—Kangxi is not stupid, of course he knows what it means that this guy has stayed with Wu Sangui for so long?

Wu Sangui's "applying" was unsuccessful, and you still want to come to the Qing Dynasty to turn back?

Think beautiful!

Just as Kangxi wanted Duolong to send Hong Shiming away, Duolong said again: "Your Majesty, Hong Shiming told the servant that he has a plan to dedicate to the emperor with the help of his master."

"Borrowing a teacher to help suppress it?" Kangxi frowned when he heard this familiar word, "Kneel down... Duolong, you go and beat Hong Shiming and bring him directly to see me."

"Whoo!"

Duolong should go away with "嗻".

The other big servants also knelt down and retreated one by one, leaving the Hall of Martial Arts.

When Kangxi saw the crowd leaving, he whispered to himself alone: ​​"Borrowing the help of a teacher is better than losing your head... I can't lose my head again! No, why should I say goodbye?"

"Slave Hong Shiming respectfully invites the emperor's peace!"

Hong Shiming's voice of greeting suddenly sounded, interrupting Emperor Kangxi's thoughts.

Kangxi looked down and found that Hong Shiming was lying on the ground, and Duolong was standing beside him.

"Duolong, Xiao Guizi, you all step down...except Hong Shiming, everyone step down!"

"Whoo!"

Duo Long, Eunuch Gui, and other court ladies and eunuchs all retreated, leaving only Emperor Kangxi and Hong Shiming in the huge Hall of Martial Arts.

"Speak!" Emperor Kangxi said, "What price do you want me to borrow from Wu Sangui?"

Hong Shiming said: "The land of the three provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang!"

"Bold!" Kangxi became angry when he heard it, "You want me to hand over half of the country!"

"Your Majesty!" Hong Shiming was crying, "How dare you let the emperor hand over the land of the three provinces? This servant is trying to protect the emperor's bottom... This servant knows that Wu and Zhu Erni have made an agreement. Once Zhu Ni conquers Anqing , Wu Sangui will launch the Northern Expedition! Your Majesty, if this happens, our Qing Dynasty will be over!

The slave has been thinking about it these days, and thinks that the only way to use Wu Sangui's division to suppress Zhu Ni's thieves can protect half of my country in the Qing Dynasty!

Wow, the emperor, the emperor who is half of the country, he is also the emperor! "

He also really loves Qing Dynasty!Wu Sangui doesn't want him, Zhu Heqi... must sharpen their knives and wait to kill him!His father, Hong Chengchou, lied to Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, Zheng's family was ruined!
