Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 121 Chaozhou Mansion Hemisphere Experiment ([-])

Will the Dutch really leave like this?Of course not.

The negotiating table is another battlefield, and the victory here sometimes even surpasses thousands of troops.

Swearing is nothing, in order to win the negotiation, no matter how bad the means are, it is normal.

After Tangning returned, she drafted a notice and sent people to post it all over the city.

The content of the notice naturally explained when and how Tangning would explain the reason for the copper ball that everyone couldn't do anything about.

The time will start at [-]:[-] pm the day after tomorrow, and the location will be three miles outside the North City. Tang Ning will personally demonstrate it to everyone at that time.

But the copper ball that day was not only as big as the current experimental site, but much larger, a foot or two inches high.

Now such a small copper ball, no one can pull it away, and such a big copper ball cannot be pulled away by human power.

So on that day, Lord Tang will send out war horses, not just one, but at least four.As for how many horses, we will wait and see.

"My God, use war horses? And more than four, this, this..."

"This, this, this is simply incredible."

"Master Tang is just extraordinary, and his actions are different. I can't wait. I really want to see it, I really want to see it."

It didn't take long for the notice to be posted, and the content quickly spread to the whole city. People in their 70s and [-]s, as well as children, were all talking about this matter, and they were all full of anticipation.

As soon as the notice came out, people's enthusiasm for those experimental sites in the city suddenly faded a lot.

Mr. Tang has to dispatch a few horses to be able to pull away, and now he is still foolishly trying to pull away with his own brute force, isn't it wishful thinking?

Although the hemisphere at the experimental site is much smaller, no matter how big the difference is, is there a big gap between someone and a few war horses?
Jia Long and the others didn't know what happened just now, and they weren't in the mood to pay attention. After returning, they closed the door to start a discussion.

At this time, the Portuguese already knew that the Dutch had entered the city. Some people suggested that this information should be released secretly, so that the angry Chaozhou people would give the Dutch a little color.

But this proposal was eventually rejected by Claudia, who felt that it did not make much sense.

It's impossible for Tang Ning to let the Dutch do something wrong here. If something happened to the Dutch, he would know that it was the Portuguese who did it.

Apart from making Tangning angry, this won't do much good. It is almost impossible to use this method to disrupt the negotiations between the two parties.

Tangning's prestige in Chaozhou was too high. If he just said a word, no one would dare to hurt the Dutchman.

So the Portuguese did not act rashly.

The next day, both parties seemed to have almost forgotten the unhappiness of yesterday, and became much calmer.

The biggest difference between the two parties now is the amount of compensation, but neither of them is willing to make concessions easily. After all, the amount is too large. A casual compromise is a few 10 taels, or a million taels.

After talking for less than half an hour, they didn't reach an agreement, and they broke up again.

In the afternoon, Tangning asked Jialong to send a post, telling him about the upcoming event in Chaozhou Prefecture the day after tomorrow and inviting him to participate. The implication was that there was no time for negotiations the day after tomorrow.

At first, Jia Long wondered if Tangning was deliberately delaying time in this way?If this is the case, they will have to consider whether it is necessary to continue the negotiation.

Because the Dutch couldn't afford it, the so-called Caribbean pirates didn't stop their operations. Every day of delay would cause Dutch merchant ships to suffer losses.

If Tangning was just delaying the negotiation and preventing them from seeing any hope of a successful negotiation, then they had no choice but to think of other ways.

Cooperating with Zheng Yiguan is not a joke, but a real consideration before coming here.

But after discussion, this choice was finally made secondary, because the loss in the South Australia naval battle was too great.

Even if they successfully unite with Zheng Yiguan, they are not fully sure, and even if they win, it may be a tragic victory.

The current strength of the Netherlands in the Far East cannot withstand too much consumption for the time being, otherwise, the Spaniards and Portuguese will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

If they choose to go to war again, the fate of the thousands of captives will be even more worrying, so they don't want to give up their peace talks until the last step.

Jia Long immediately sent someone to verify the authenticity of the news.

This matter is already an open secret in Chaozhou Prefecture, and the notice was posted yesterday, so it is not difficult to verify.

It can be confirmed that before the Dutchmen came, Tang Ning had promised in notices and "Ming Pao" that he would solve the mystery of the experiment ten days later.

"What the hell." Jia Long was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

One day later, after the two sides started talking again, the Dutchman's attitude relaxed and he backed down a bit, but Tangning still felt that it was not enough, so the two sides still failed to sign an agreement.

On the last day of the countdown, the new army has already imposed martial law in the planned experimental area outside the city, and some necessary experimental facilities are also being quickly set up.

After the time limit on this day, all the experimental sites announced that the experimental challenges in the city were over, and all the experimental sites in the city were demolished.

As for the copper coins earned these days, all of them will be donated to Chaozhou College as scholarships for those students who study hard and achieve excellent results.

Everyone has no opinion, it's just that those who lost more are a little frustrated.

Finally, the much-anticipated second day arrived.

On September [-]th, the Chaozhou Hemispheric Experiment officially started.

On this day, the weather was fine, the sky was blue, the gongs and drums proclaimed the sky, the flags were flying, and there were huge crowds of people, and it was very lively.

Even though he had expected it, Tangning never expected that so many people would come. In addition to the original 1000 soldiers to maintain order, he immediately dispatched another 1000 people from the security team in the city.

In the central area surrounded by the circle of people is an area the size of a football field.

In the north of this area, a platform was set up, and on the background wall of the platform were written the words "Chaozhou Prefecture Hemispheric Experiment".

Under the background wall, hundreds of people have been seated one after another. These people are either teachers from Chaozhou College, or famous figures in Chaozhou Prefecture.

In the position of the teacher of Chaozhou College, there are more than a dozen very conspicuous figures. Except for Claudia, a well-known woman, all of them are bearded and high-nosed.

What is rare is that among these people, apart from the Jesuits from Chaozhou College, even Wannu Bujialuo, who only has cannons in his eyes, also found time to come today.

It is true that the impact of the hemispheric experiment has been too great these days, and everyone in the city is talking about it.

Wannu Bugarao was also very curious about the principle of this. He put down the cannon in his hand and applied to watch it with the foreign teachers of Chaozhou University, and he could also act as an interpreter for Claudia.

The Dutch in Jialong were also on the list, but they deliberately kept a certain distance from Claudia and the grapes, and the two sides did not like each other.

Few people see the tricks in it, because to the people of Daming, no matter whether it is a Franji man or a red-haired ghost, they are all the same, and no one can tell who is who.

In the wide open space below the platform, the most conspicuous thing was the war horses. There were quite a few of them, and there were twenty horses in total. Do we need so many war horses?
