Selling the treasure ship and the fortune ship to the Ottoman Empire has no psychological pressure on Emperor Chongzhen at all - that thing will have to become obsolete sooner or later, if you don't sell it while it can be sold for money, who will you sell it to in the future?

The problem lies in the words morning and evening.

If it's sold late, it won't work.

If the Ming Dynasty killed the Ottomans, who else would buy these lucky ships? It is estimated that the final end will be to sell to the people, and finally act as a cargo ship or fishing boat.

It's even worse if it's sold early.

The current destroyer is only more powerful than the Fuchuan treasure ship in terms of headwind sailing and ordinary speed, even if it is solid and durable, the firepower is not weak, and the remaining tailwind and endurance are also great disadvantages.

If the treasure ship is sold to the Ottomans or other barbarian countries early, it is very likely that the destroyers will suffer when the two sides go to war.

In other words, if you don't make a Ming version of the nurse aircraft carrier, this thing will definitely not be sold.

So sooner or later, these two words have become the key, only before the Ming Dynasty has not killed the Ottomans, or when the Ming version of the nurse aircraft carrier is about to come out, this lucky ship treasure ship can be sold, otherwise it is to find trouble for yourself.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Invite Ferdinand III, and Innocent X, and say that I invite them to fish."

As for the Ottoman side, before the Ming Dynasty completely dealt with England, he would not propose to them the matter of selling treasure ships and fortune ships for the time being, and he had to wait for the Ming Dynasty to gain a firm foothold in England. ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said again: "Your Majesty, what about Tsarist Russia?" Just now, information has been transmitted from the military government that Tsar Alexei has agreed to the request of the Poles. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "If you agree, you agree, anyway, Holguin has already discussed with Alexei, and it has become a foregone conclusion that Tsarist Russia will send troops to Europe, so don't worry about them."

It's just that I want to see what Tsar Alexei will do to fight Nikon after losing Morozov and Holguin, and who will give him ideas to deal with this mess in Europe. ”

Europe has indeed become a mess.

Relying on the arms and instructors provided by the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See rose almost in a straight line, and after the two sides joined forces, they even formed a crushing trend for the whole of Europe.

Ferdinand III and Innocent X even had the illusion of being able to dominate the world at one point.

Of course, an illusion is an illusion, and the two bigwigs who have been mixed to the top are not enough to take the illusion as reality - both of them know very well in their hearts that even if they unify the whole of Europe, the two of them do not have the strength to wrestle with Daming.

Poland, which was losing ground under the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, would invite Tsarist Russia into Europe, which really shocked Ferdinand III and Innocent X.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which has only devoted its energy to Europe and Tsarist Russia in recent years, the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See, which were originally close to Europe, are clear about Poland and Tsarist Russia.

In the eyes of Ferdinand III and Innocent X, Poland has never been a good bird, it was not, it is not, and it certainly will not be.

In the past, the Poles made such a farce as Ivan IV Crown Prince Dimitry.

Dimitri, who has long been confirmed dead, appeared before and after, and the second one successfully ascended to the throne of the tsar, and then favored Poland in politics and other aspects, if you want to say that there are no ghosts here, only ghosts will not believe it.

Now, the Poles are again trying to bring in Tsarist Russia at a time of European turmoil.

Tsarist Russia is definitely not a good thing either, especially the current Tsar Alexei, this guy is definitely the kind of villain who is full of desire to conquer from the bones!

The tsar's palace was decorated with some of Europe's most popular sculptures and fashionable frescoes, and he ordered the construction of a Spanish-style glass summer palace, his costumes were cut in the Polish style, and his portraits were painted in the style of Western art, which he also ordered

Plates, plates, knives, forks were eaten, and even the earliest court theater in Russia, the Entertainment Palace, was built.

In order to promote the development of the Russian economy, Alexei brought in a large number of skilled personnel from the West, and hundreds of European technicians and craftsmen went to Moscow for silver coins - one more craftsman and quality who went to Moscow, one less in Europe.

At the same time, Alexei continued to introduce advanced European production technology, encouraged European businessmen to invest and set up factories in Russia, and promoted the gradual formation of Russian handicraft factories and markets.

If they had only been close to Europe in terms of life, politics and economics, Ferdinand III and Innocent X would never have been so wary of Alexei, but would have laughed from ear to ear.

It was really Ferdinand III and Innocent X who were wary of Alex that Alexei had never stopped fighting.

After obtaining silver coins from various sources and strengthening the national power of Tsarist Russia, Alexei directly sent troops to recover Smolensk, Chernihiv, Seversk and other regions annexed by Poland.

After that, Alexei had been thinking about Ukraine and Poland until Khmelnitsky formally petitioned Tsar Alexei to agree to annex eastern Ukraine, centered on Zabarozhye, to Tsarist Russia.

If Ferdinand III and Innocent X knew that Tsarist Russia under Alexei had been confronted by the Ming Empire, I am afraid that the two would not be able to help but bow down to Alexei - how did you survive until now?

Of course, no matter how much Ferdinand III and Innocent X admired Alexei, they only admired his fearlessness in daring to make a great death, but in fact they did not have the slightest intention of learning from Alexei.

Especially when Ferdinand III and Innocent X stood on the deck of the "Pangea", this spirit of Alexei's death was even more admired.

On the deck, the left and right sergeants were all fully packed with bags, standing with halberds, looking at the two people who were trembling, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "My sergeant, is it quite majestic?" ”

Ferdinand III and Innocent X said: "What a man of bears and tigers! ”

Emperor Chongzhen led the two to the artillery compartment again, pointing to the many artillery pieces and saying: "My artillery, can it be thick and long?" ”

Ferdinand III and Innocent X said: "It's so thick and long, I can't wait." ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said: "I want to chong ling, Ke Cheng unification, at that time there were slaves outside, there were party disputes, the treasury was empty, the court and the civil and military were not compatible, I really never thought that there could be today." ”

Ferdinand III said: "It is not an exaggeration to say that Your Majesty is magnificent. ”

Chongzhen was in charge of Ferdinand III and Innocent X, and said: "When a husband is in the world, he should look down on life and death, and do it if he is not satisfied." Today, I want to pacify the barbarians of England with this, even if the generations of Constantine and Caesar are resurrected here, how can they endure it? ”

After that, Emperor Chongzhen wrote a lot of money, and the faces of Fei and Ying were like earth.

Emperor Chongzhen brought the two of them into the account, and the ministers of civil and military affairs drank again, because they pointed to everyone and said: "This is the hero of the Ming Dynasty, and this meeting today can be called 'Heroes Meeting'." ”

The governor of the five armies, the British public of the Ming Dynasty, saw that Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and called the soldiers to sumo for fun, and made people dance swords, and made a song and said:

The husband is famous for his meritorious service, and his meritorious service is comforting for his life.

I will be drunk, I will be drunk and moan.

At the end of the song, the audience laughed.

Innocent X and Ferdinand III did not understand what it meant, so they called for an interpreter and asked, "What is the meaning of his song?" ”

The interpreter hesitated for a moment and replied: "It means that a man should use a knife to cut people, drink when he has finished cutting people, and brag loudly if he drinks too much." ”

Innocent X and Ferdinand III looked at each other and exclaimed, "What a hero! ”

After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Chongzhen put down the wine glass and said with drunken eyes: "Now that England will be peaceful, I am not far from the return date, but I am quite reluctant to be here." ”

Ferdinand III also put down his glass and persuaded: "Why did Your Majesty say this? Although the Ming Dynasty and Rome are separated by thousands of miles, the sea route is convenient, and the Ming warships crisscross the sea, and the exchange is only a few months.

After the third prince and the youngest daughter Avril are married, His Majesty can also come to Bavaria to visit Bavaria and come to see their children, which must also be a beautiful conversation. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, but then turned his gaze to Innocent X: "I have previously discussed with the Pope that the Pope will go to Daming to preach, but I don't know what the Pope has considered?" ”

Innocent X lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, being able to go to Daming to preach was originally the dream of all priests in Europe, and Innocent was no exception.

It's just that the current war situation in Europe is chaotic, and the Holy See is also involved in it, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to spare time for a while. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay to do this, I won't make it difficult for others, and the Pope can rest assured."

It's just that I still have one more thing I want to discuss with the Pope, and I don't know what the Pope wants. ”

Without waiting for Innocent X to ask what was going on, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "In my Ming Dynasty, there were originally two religions, one was Taoism and the other was Buddhism.

Taoism has a Taoist ancestral garden, in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi; Buddhism has a Zen ancestral garden, in Henan Shaolin Temple; Now the Holy See also has its own ancestral court, which is the Vatican.

Taoism, Buddhism, and the Holy See, all three of them are leading people to goodness, and finally seeking great detachment and freedom, which is really a rare good deed.

However, the Taoist Longhu Mountain Dazhen, the abbot of the Buddhist Shaolin Temple, was canonized by my Ming Dynasty, and the Vatican Holy See, should it also be canonized by my Ming Dynasty? ”

Before Innocent X could speak, Cardinal Archbishop Barney Addison got up angrily and said angrily: "My Holy See has been inherited for thousands of years, and the Pope has its own rules for selection, so why do you need to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face did not change, he was still smiling, and Innocent X and Ferdinand III twisted their bodies uneasily, as if there were small insects crawling on their backs, looking quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Zhiji glanced at Zhang Shize, and Zhang Shize bowed down to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has learned some Western swordsmanship in recent days, and under the mutual confirmation of my Ming swordsmanship, I have also gained, please dance the sword for Your Majesty to watch." ”

Emperor Chongzhen played with the wine glass in his hand and said meaningfully: "The so-called swordsmanship is nothing more than stabbing, splitting, teasing, hanging, pointing, wiping, supporting, racking, intercepting, and sweeping.

As the so-called martial arts in the world, invincible, only fast and unbreakable, all the moves are to attack the enemy and have to defend, this is the world's first-class swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Shize bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Xie pointed out, and the minister wrote it down." ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and ordered: "You can take a look at what you have learned." ”

Zhang Shize played the role of Xiang Zhuang, but Innocent X did not have Xiang Bo by his side, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Chongzhen had never hinted that Zhang Shine had killed Innocent X, I was afraid that before Zhang Shine collected his sword, Innocent would have been killed in two places.

Putting away the long sword in his hand, Zhang Shize bowed down and said: "I am not good at learning the arts, but it makes the Pope frightened, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and signaled Zhang Shize to step back, then said to Innocent X with a smile: "This kid Broad & Bright, he learned a few swordsmanship indiscriminately, and then he learned to come out and show off, which is really ridiculous and generous. ”

Innocent X wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "The little duke's swordsmanship is superb, and Innocent admires it tightly, but Your Majesty, he is still too harsh on the little duke." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "My son-in-law, it's normal to be more demanding, if you don't have any enterprising spirit, I don't like it." ”

After a few more idle sentences, Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "By the way, where did you just go?" What are the rules for the Holy See to nominate a pope? I'm curious. ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to think of something, and continued: "By the way, just chatting like this, it seems quite boring, why don't you change someone to dance the sword to help the fun?" ”

No more!

Innocent didn't think about it, and directly shook his hands and said: "No, Your Majesty the Emperor, it's good to talk like this, it's easy to be distracted by watching the sword dance." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded regretfully and said, "Then forget it, I won't be strong." By the way, Pope Innocent hasn't answered my question yet, especially the cardinal archbishop just now, right? What do you call it? ”

Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's aggressive attitude, Cardinal Barney Addison, who was still indignant just now, suddenly wanted to find a place to bury his head.

This is also too scary, if you don't agree with each other, you will dance the sword, and you will make a move to the key point, if you don't agree today, we people will have to die here?

Facing Barney Addison, who wanted to pretend to be dead, Innocent X had no choice but to bow down and say: "Your Majesty, this is Cardinal Archbishop Barney Addison of the Holy See, he was drunk just now, and he didn't choose what to say, I hope Your Majesty will forgive him." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "How can I be as familiar as a drunken person? But the Pope, what do you think about canonization I? ”

Innocent suddenly expressed his position firmly: "Your Majesty, God has let the Holy See manage the flock, and the owner of the flock is the great and wise Emperor Ming, so the Holy See must accept the canonization and authorization of the Emperor Ming in order to fulfill the responsibility of managing the flock!" ”
