Great Ming National Teacher

In the Great Ming Dynasty’s pacification of the northern war, there were three major people who were watching melons, namely Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, the three most powerful European countries in the East. The strength of the Ming army surprised them very much. Whether it is the east or the west, the barbarians in the north are quite troublesome and even fearful. This time, the Ming Dynasty completely solved the barbarians in the north. In particular, it was the warships of the Ming Dynasty that surprised the Three Kingdoms.

The West has not yet invented the steam engine. These three countries are the overlords of the age of great navigation, and their shipbuilding technology is quite sophisticated. However, warships either use manpower or wind power. It is still impossible to imagine the logic of making a ship move by burning coal. There is electricity that cannot be seen or touched.

What interests them most and dazzles them most is the powerful artillery. The bow gun on the cruiser Yaksha is bigger than their heaviest city defense gun, and its firepower is many times stronger. It is basically One shot at a time, even if it does not disintegrate immediately, it will leave a large hole that cannot be repaired.There is more steel plate armor on the ship, and the opponent's shells can't cause fatal damage to it at all. It's almost like scratching an itch when hit by an ordinary jack cannon.

The things are really good things, otherwise Sordo would not have come, but the price is precious. Li Yunya offered a price of 20 taels for a sea shark ship, 30 taels for a killer whale ship, and 80 taels for a patrolling Yasha. Aldo bargained almost beggingly.

Zhu Youjian was not happy: "Besides, the big country is heavy, how can you allow you to bargain like a village woman who buys vegetables in the market? Come, see off!" After speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.

Li Yunya hurriedly smoothed things over, invited out the Ouchi guards who came in to see off the guests, and then said to Sordo: "Look at you, you have made our emperor angry and left. To tell you the truth, I don't know that old man Pa in the Netherlands gave our emperor a drink. What ecstasy soup, the emperor is determined to sell the battleship exclusively to them, you think, at least one cruiser Yaksha, plus four killer whales, twelve sea sharks..."

"That old rascal Pazik really wants to buy so many??" Sordo was sweating more and more, imagining that if the Dutch really got these ships, plus other large warships to form a fleet, Block the shipping lanes in the English Channel, and Spain is doomed!The nightmarish picture of the Dutchman chasing his ship in an ironclad battleship had already appeared in his mind.

"Dear Master, we really hope to buy warships from your country, but we really can't afford the price."

"How is it possible? Don't lie to me, didn't you find gold in Central America? Right now, your family has the most gold and silver in the whole world!" Li Yunya said, "I was sincere and risked being reprimanded by our emperor, or even It’s the risk of being dismissed from office who came to discuss this deal with you, if you lie to me again, we’ll forget it.”

"It's true!" Spain has been going from bad to worse recently. Having fought wars in Europe for decades, it has long lost the prestige it had at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. Especially the defeat of the Armada by the United Kingdom hit them even harder. Spain A total of five conquests against Britain ended in failure. The national strength has long been declining year by year. Now that the independence of the Netherlands is not even settled, and now it is caught in the chaos of the whole of Europe. Silver is really powerless.

Li Yunya didn't listen to his complaints: "You have to think about it this way. Although it takes a lot of money to buy our warships, you will be a master after you get them. You can go to England this time to see if they can withstand it." ?If you block the sea and land outside the Netherlands, within a year, the Dutch will have to kneel on the ground begging you, dare to be independent? At that time, the whole ocean will be yours, and mountains of gold and silver will be waiting for you to mine In addition, I will give you another news for free." Li Yunya took out a map and swiped in southern Africa, "In this place, there are gold and diamonds. If you dig a hole, you can dig a fist. Big diamonds, rolling all over the floor like potatoes!"

"Really?" Suo Erduo gasped, wanting to believe it or not, but these words came from Li Yunya's mouth. The number two figure in such a huge empire should not lie and deceive others.

"Of course! The Dutch already know the news, as do the Portuguese and the British. I don't know if it has passed. It's too late for you to do it now!"

"Since this is the case..." Sordo said, "Why don't our two countries form a joint fleet to drive them out. We are more familiar with that side, and when we find gold and diamonds, we will be happy." Half split?"

"I think so too!" Li Yunya said dejectedly, "It's just that we are a huge country of China, a state of etiquette..." He pointed out with his hand, "Our emperor is very pedantic, he abides by the precepts of the ancestors, You know, when our Emperor Yongle sent Zheng He to lead the fleet to the Western Ocean several times, the farthest reached Africa, but he never occupied a country, did not plunder a single population, and never set up a colony. I advise him I didn’t listen, so I thought about it and told you this news. After you become stronger, our two countries will be friendly for generations, one in the east and the other in the west..."

Suo Erduo is an old fox, and he doesn't care much about such things that don't leave a word. The more he speaks, the more bitter he is, and he still wants to bargain. Li Yunya used his patience to fight a war of attrition with him, starting at nine o'clock in the morning , lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, during which Li Yunya left twice, went to the side hall to eat and drink with Zhu Youjian to replenish his strength, left Sordo where he was, and finally talked about the business.

Spain and Daming bought a patrol Yaksha, two killer whale ships, eighteen sea shark ships, plus 350 flying electric guns, 1000 field guns, 400 and [-] mortars, Rounding off the odds and ends, the total is [-] million taels of silver!

Before leaving, Zhu Youjian was invited by Li Yunya to meet Sordo. After all, he is a big client. Sordo proposed to establish formal diplomatic relations with Daming. Zhu Youjian vetoed it coldly: "Then Go back and tell your king to withdraw from the island of Taiwan first! Only by withdrawing completely from Taiwan can our two countries formally establish diplomatic relations!" After speaking, he turned and left.

After sending Sordo away, Li Yunya took the transaction contract and presented it to Zhu Youjian: "How is it? This thing is a huge profit, right? The cost of three to fifty thousand taels, which has been used for several years, can be sold for another 5 yuan. +!"

Zhu Youjian took the contract and read it word by word twice, and said with emotion: "Before you bought it, our Daming State Treasury's annual income was just this!"

"That's where it is!" Li Yunya walked past him and kissed him on the cheek, "This is just the beginning, let me tell you baby, our good days are coming, only the battle in the west can't be over, We will have a steady stream of money coming over."

Zhu Youjian was held in his arms, and he looked outside with some guilt. The corridor was quiet, so he was relieved, and asked blushingly: "You told that Soldo that there are diamonds in southern Africa, is it true or not?" of?"

"It's true." Li Yunya sighed, "I know what you mean, in fact, I also want to occupy that place, but it's too far away from us, and our strength is limited, so we have to take care of what's in front of us first, and America, I have weighed it over and over again, America is more important, so let the news out, let them fight, and fight until they are bloody, so that we can buy better arms."

Zhu Youjian nodded: "Then what if they stop fighting and sit down to make peace and develop together?"

"Then let's go in and get involved, talk with them, and develop together!" Li Yunya said, "In the future, we will interfere with everything in the world, and we must set the rules!"

The next day, the two met with the representative of the Netherlands, that is, Pazik. This time Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian switched roles. Then he expressed his firm support for the Dutch to resist the dictatorship of the Spanish king: "That old man Philip is simply a tyrant like Jie and Zhou! He is stupid, you should stand up bravely and overthrow him. We in China There is an old saying, the dynasty, the generals, would you rather have a kind? It’s just that you only want the Netherlands to be independent. This is not good. The structure is too small and too lacking in ambition. The whole of Spain was toppled to the ground, and then the whole of Spain, including their current colonies, was unified, and then the dynasty was changed..."

Pazik was dumbfounded, and quickly explained the current situation in Europe. People in the Netherlands don't want the whole of Spain, as long as Spain stops exploiting them and enslaving them.

Zhu Youjian shook his head after listening, and then told him the story of Qin Shihuang: "A small country with few people, too small-minded, can't achieve great things! A man lives his whole life, standing upright, looking up to the universe, controlling mountains and rivers, controlling the world, and being born as a hero. Death is also a ghost hero! Always make contributions, do something great, and make your name in history, you are too petty, and you are too petty to guard your home like a woman, it is not worth it!"

He told Patzik that you should kill the Spanish royal family, unify Spain, and then unify Rome, and I fully support you.Then he said how powerful Daming's ordnance was, and asked him to buy it quickly.

This Pazik is also a cunning guy, he is full of praise for Da Ming, Zhu Youjian, and various weapons, his mouth is as sweet as honey, but he is not sure about the price, Li Yunya is sneering and sarcastic, and he is smiling Di Sheng suffered, but praised Li Yunya more and more vigorously. Finally, Li Yunya took out the form he signed with Sordo yesterday and threw it on the table: "See? Spain has decided to buy these ordnance and firearms from us. Just think about it, if a fleet with Yasha and Sea Shark as the main force appeared in the Mediterranean Sea, appeared in the English Channel, and even blocked the mouth of the Netherlands, would you still be able to survive? Twenty thousand flying electric guns, hundreds of field guns, and more than 1000 mortars have appeared on the European battlefield. Do you think Denmark, Sweden, and France are capable of resisting them? Will they be wiped out like fallen leaves by the autumn wind? He stepped on the chair with one foot, condescendingly pointed at Pazik's nose and said loudly, "I tell you, what I hate the most in my life is the rebellious officials and thieves who disturb the country. I wish I could kill them all! You Do you know how I deal with the rebellious bandits in our country? If the emperor didn't sympathize with you, I wouldn't even let you in the country!"

"Yunya." Zhu Youjian said with some displeasure, "Sit down first. People say it represents a country. You should be more polite, lest people say that our state of etiquette is not worthy of the name." He asked Pazik again Buy it now.

When Pazque saw Spain's purchase list, he was immediately discouraged. He couldn't bear what Li Yunya said, the blockade of the sea by Spain, and the fact that a large number of Ming Dynasty firearms appeared in Europe. The firearms sold by Ming Dynasty this time were all It is a sub-casket, and the gunpowder is fixed in the rear compartment. It is not a star and a half stronger than their flintlock guns that are filled with pellets, and the gunpowder inside is more powerful, and there is no such thick gunpowder smoke. There is very little residue after shooting... and Those artillery with longer range and lighter weight, if the Spaniards really take these weapons, the countries on their side will definitely suffer heavy losses!
