Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Because they have already learned about the problem of the trench mirror and the past events through the information manual issued by the imperial court, at this time Chen Jitai and others actually have a draft on how to deal with this matter.

Chen Jitai said the guidelines for solving the trench mirror problem this time, and then continued after a pause: "If you want to defeat the enemy without fighting, you must put out the soldiers to frighten the Frangji people.

Then send a team of officials into the trench and order Franji to rectify the trench according to our new regulations.What do you think? "

Li Yutian and Kuang Lu both nodded and had no objection.

Immediately, Chen Jitai began to issue orders...

Trench mirror.

In a secret room in the church, several blond men were talking under four bright oil lamps.

"Before I left Amsterdam, the oil lamps with glass shades of Ming people had been sold in Europe, and the price of one lamp was as high as [-] Dutch guilders, and the supply was still in short supply.

You put four lamps in this small secret room, what a luxury. ’ said a middle-aged man with graying red hair and deep features in Spanish standing under an oil lamp.

This person is Drapey, one of the deputy envoys of the Dutch mission that entered the trench this time.

As Gao Shida said, he turned aside and walked out of the secret room.

Although there were no troops, there were thousands of Ming troops lining up outside the checkpoint, and they seemed to be able to rush in at any time. "

In all aspects, anything that does not comply with the regulations must be corrected before Daming negotiates with the Dutch, otherwise all the Portuguese in the trench will be expelled. "

So he reminded: "Don't talk about this, let's discuss cooperation. The Ming country is indeed too strong now, and it is becoming more and more domineering. If we don't cooperate and fight, we will be driven out of the East sooner or later."

After listening, Gao Shida first returned to the secret room in the church, roughly said what Fei Susha said, and finally said to Drapey: "We may not be able to keep ourselves now, I am afraid that the discussion of cooperation can only be postponed." .”

The barbarians in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty were originally very powerful, and they were the victors most of the time in the decades of war, and in the end they almost occupied the vast north of the Ming country.

Standing on his side is Gao Shida, the current chairman of the Haojing Council, who is also the justice of the council.

Draper turned around, sat down at the round table in the secret room, and said: "Ten years ago, I stayed in the East for a few years. At that time, the Ming Kingdom was still busy dealing with the northern barbarians and suppressing internal rebellions. I heard that the emperor They were so poor that they couldn't even pay the soldiers' salaries.

Just like this kind of oil lamp, one only costs forty or fifty Ming Yuan in Daming.That is 50 taels of silver, which is about two hundred Dutch guilders.

It's a pity that we can't send people out to investigate, and we can't know how many people are in those camps. "

Industrial products?
Because of language conversion and cognitive problems, Drapey had difficulty understanding the word for a while.

Therefore, when the Dutch came to discuss cooperation with the Portuguese of Haojing this time, they first persuaded Du Chen, the governor of Australia, and then contacted the council.

But before he could speak, there was a knock on the door of the secret room.

The church holds the divine power and has considerable influence on the Portuguese citizens, businessmen and even the Han people who settled here.

Unexpectedly, not only defeated the barbarians and suppressed the rebellion, but also became so rich.

The level of handicrafts and commerce has also improved so much, it feels like they have surpassed us, right? "

"No, no, you are wrong." Gao Shida shook his head, "The artifact I am talking about is not a steel armored battleship, but something else.

On the contrary, Gao Shida praised the handicraft industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty, and was faintly proud of it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Fei Susha said, "There are hundreds of officials in the Ming Dynasty, but there are only about [-] real officials, and I don't know the leader.

The last is the Governor of Australia.

Plus, many of the good things they produce these days are called industrial rather than handcrafted. "

"How did this happen?" Gao Shida became anxious when he heard this, and then asked again: "How many Ming officials have come here? Do we know the leaders? Did you lead any troops?"

He stared at Costa and said: "As the judge of Portugal in the trench mirror, I doubt whether we can reach a cooperation this time if you say good things about the country like this."

It is not only brighter, but also can adjust the size of the light, but also saves fuel, and it doesn't matter if we use a few more lights. "

"An artifact?" Draper sneered after hearing this, "Are you the steel armored ship of the Ming Dynasty? We can actually cover the ship with iron sheets and steel plates. At most, their steel armored ships can fly without sails It's just a little weird.

Outside, Fei Susha, the director of the council, said urgently: "The chairman is not good, just now a large group of Ming officials broke in, and let us immediately follow the new regulations of the Ming Dynasty to rectify the moat mirror.

"I didn't really agree with this cooperation." Gao Shida also sat down and took a sip of tea, "You still don't know enough about the current Ming country, and you don't know that empress of Ming Dynasty.

This made Gao Shida and Du Chen frown.

Du Chen, the governor of Portugal next to him, also chimed in: "Yes, we must unite against Ming, otherwise we might be driven away.

But I think it's definitely not because those steel armored ships are magical weapons, but because the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty has made breakthroughs that we can't fathom. "

Under Du Chen's persuasion, Gao Shida was finally ready to talk about business.

At this time, Portugal was actually co-managed by the three parties in Haojing, and the governance power was mainly in the hands of the autonomous council.

Rumor has it that the female emperor has some magical birds to assist her, and she also has something that can be sent across thousands of miles in an instant. If it is not a divine weapon, what is it? "

The reason why he was quickly defeated and driven out by the Ming army was because the Ming army had the divine weapon of the Empress of Ming to help them. "

Hearing this, Draper found it ridiculous and didn't want to believe it at all.

Although Portugal appointed the governor of Australia in 1616, under the influence of internal and external factors, the governor of Australia could only serve as a military officer such as the commander of the city defense. Apart from the military, he had little power in other aspects.

She is not only a wise, good at fighting, and wise female emperor, but also a "goddess descending from heaven".

Draper took the opportunity to encourage and said: "In my opinion, the Ming Dynasty is just looking for an excuse to drive you Portuguese away.

I already had this premonition—in the past few days, the Ming Dynasty seems to have deployed a lot of troops outside the trench mirror.

"Hahaha," Goldstar couldn't help laughing, and said, "Drape, are you joking? The handicraft level of Ming people has always been higher than ours. The prosperity of their business in the south is no less than that of Europe.

Although Du Chen is not the top leader, he controls most of the Portuguese troops here after all.

In our words, it is an archangel who descended to the mortal world, possessing real magic and many artifacts.

Coupled with the fact that the development of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years has indeed caused losses to the interests of the Portuguese living in Australia, and they are becoming more and more frightened, the council agreed to discuss cooperation with the Netherlands.

"It seems that something important has happened—because I told you not to disturb us if there is no important event."

Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Your family is also in business, you should know that although some good things from the East are expensive in Europe, they are very cheap in Ming Dynasty, or the price is very fair.

At times like this, you all need to cooperate with us—but not to make Ming make concessions in the negotiations, but to form a coalition and teach Ming people a lesson! "

When Du Chen, the governor of Australia, heard this, his brown eyes flashed brightly, and he immediately agreed: "You're right, we really should unite and teach Ming people a lesson, otherwise the days to come will only become more and more difficult.

Not to mention being kicked out of the Ming Dynasty, it is possible to be kicked out of the Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean! "

Costa looked at the fourth person in the secret room, Bishop Manrique of the Trench Mirror Church, and asked, "Dear bishop, do you think the proposal of these two lunatics is feasible?"

Good night~
