Min Min was confused by these strange words, but after thinking about it, she understood what Shen Xing was referring to, and she suddenly became excited. "You, you don't want to lead troops to fight them, you are too brutal, the ancients are good, the Warring States will perish, not to mention that Britain and our China are thousands of miles apart, and they can't have a good relationship at all, why do you want to fight people!"

Seeing Shen Xing silent, the red lady sitting on the side immediately grabbed Min Min. "It's getting more and more unruly, stop talking, is it our women's turn to intervene in the affairs of the state? Husband, he has his own plans to go out and do your own business, don't make your husband angry! Chao Minmin looked at the red lady's serious expression, stomped her feet a few times, and quickly ran out of the door.

At this time, Wangcai cautiously walked to Shen Xing's side, lowered his head and whispered. "Young Master, Madame Min Min has been getting close to a few Englishmen recently, and those people seem to have been inquiring about our arsenal. There is also news from the people in Dongchang, a month ago, several groups of people from the Netherlands came to the port of Fujian one after another, and on the surface, they are no different from ordinary businessmen, but in private, they frequently investigate the news of artillery! ”

After hearing this, Shen Xing suddenly snapped and slapped the table heavily, Liu Rushi and the others, who had already been silent because of Minmin, were all frightened, although the red lady did not react so much, but she understood that the news that Wangcai said must be extraordinary, and hurriedly pressed Shen Xing's shoulder to comfort him.

"Why, it's still so shocking, if you have something, just say Minmin, she is still young after all, how can she know those ways between countries! I must have studied in the West for many years and been bewitched by bad people! ”

Shen Xing exhaled slowly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the dog moved over very consciously. "You personally go with Wangcai to dispose of those people for me, and in the future, you must defend the secrets of science and technology and military industry more strictly, especially those foreigners must be strictly monitored in secret, and no mistakes can be made!"

"What about Mrs. Minmin's side! Do you want to give me an instruction? The dog walked to the door and turned back and asked. It's better to let her know less about these dirty things, and it is better to do clean hands and feet so that it can't affect foreigners who do business normally. The dog and Wangcai looked at each other, nodded, and trotted all the way out of the yard.

"Damn, you can still think of sending spies over, it seems that this arms business really can't wait! Someone! Call Liu Tie and Zhang Yuliang over at night! After Shen Xing finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiangjun and their stunned appearance, and immediately showed his usual smile, hugged the red lady, and several women shyly followed behind.

The iron guards led by Gou'er and Wangcai were very efficient, and in less than a week, they wiped out the spies sent to China from more than 30 countries to spy on intelligence, and the means were also varied. After Shen Xing talked with Zhang Yuliang and Liu Tie all night, he decided to put the business of arms trafficking on their shoulders.

The Ottoman army was counterattacked by Erke when it expanded into Ukraine, although it was difficult to supply guns and ammunition in time because of the long distance, but the powerful Mongolian cavalry regiment still relied on its own excellent tactics to block the Ottoman army from Ukraine, and also recaptured Kazakhstan, which is linked to the Chinese territory in the east.

However, after the first battle, Erke and the 100,000 marines sent by him were both severely damaged, and they no longer had the military strength to fight with the Ottoman Empire, so they could only rely on the powerful fortifications built of cement to barely resist. The Ottoman expedition was devastated by a powerful blow at the very beginning, but their belligerent instincts and desire for Europe kept them on their tracks.

Instead, the main targets were Poland, Italy, and Germany, the three countries that had just been sacked, and the war in Europe was getting stronger and stronger, and more than 100 warships laden with arms led by Liu Tie and Zhang Yuliang quietly sailed around the Arabian Gulf into the Mediterranean. On the other hand, Britain, France and other countries also sent strong troops to support after receiving requests for help from the three countries. The maritime industry, which had developed with great difficulty, came to a halt in an instant.

Zhang Yuliang went directly to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, as a diplomatic ambassador of the Chinese Empire, to meet their king Koprurus Faqir Ahmed, but as soon as he entered, he was treated very unreasonably, and he was still taken to the main hall like the last time he went to Mongolia.

The two Turkish businessmen who accompanied the translator were scared. "Your Majesty, is this how your Ottoman Empire treats guests from afar? Isn't it a little too unreasonable! Zhang Yuliang was as righteous as ever, and did not show any fear. Under the reprimand of the guards, the translator stammered and translated Zhang Yuliang's words.

Koprulu Faqir Ahmed was furious and said a lot of words, and Zhang Yuliang watched the translator quietly wait for the message.

"Mr. Zhang, the king said that you Chinese helped the Russians attack their soldiers, and killed almost 100,000 people, and he said that you are the lamb sent to the door to be slaughtered."

"Your Majesty, I think you have misunderstood that the Russian Empire no longer exists, it is now just a provincial capital in the Far East of our Chinese Empire, and you will naturally be resisted if you rashly launch an attack on our land, if it weren't for our ** hope to make friends with you, I'm afraid that soon they will have to reclaim the Ukraine and other places that you have robbed."

Koplulu Faqir Ahmed was stunned when he heard Zhang Yuliang's words, and all the elders and officials present were also very excited, when did the country of Russia become the Chinese Han Empire, isn't it a joke? But before their smiles could fade, one of the guards hurried in.

"Is this sure that this is a credential from a Russian envoy? When did they surrender to the Han Chinese, it's incredible! Kopruru Fachir Ahmed opened the silk in his hand over and over again, for fear of missing a word.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed their envoy who has just arrived, and they are still waiting outside the door and say that they want you to treat their country's envoy with courtesy!" "Are they intimidating the king? Have you forgotten the lesson that the Ottomans taught them last time, that Moscow was rebuilt in a sea of fire, or that they want to try again! ”

These words were spoken aloud to Zhang Yuliang. "Your Majesty, can you let me go, even if you and the Russian Province want to go to war again, there is no need to embarrass a messenger, this really does not match your status as king." Koprulu Fachir Ahmed thought for a moment and waved his hand to let Zhang Yuliang loosen the rope.

"I don't like your tone, but what you said makes a lot of sense, and I wonder what kind of magic attracted you all the way to our Ottoman Empire to die!"

Zhang Yuliang moved his hands and feet, then took a few steps forward, respectfully embraced his hands and saluted. "Your Majesty, it's not magic, it's business, a big business trend is coming from thousands of miles away, I guess you also know that the firearms of our Chinese Empire are very sophisticated, and the sacrifice of the 100,000 soldiers you just mentioned, I'm afraid most of them are masterpieces of firearms."

Before Zhang Yuliang's words were finished, everyone present was suddenly angry, if it weren't for the fact that Koplulu Faqir Ahmed hadn't spoken, they might have really torn Zhang Yuliang apart alive.

"You're so arrogant, aren't you really afraid of death?" "No, I'm afraid of death, but some words are not clear, some misunderstandings are not resolved, then the business cannot be done, the Ottoman Empire has had dealings with our Tang and Song dynasties through the ancient Silk Road hundreds of years ago, speaking of which, the relationship between the two families is very close, I see Your Majesty, your clothes seem to be silk fabrics produced in China!"

Koprulu Fachir Ahmed nodded unconsciously, "Yes, we have a long business relationship, and we exchange spices and gems for your silk, cloth, tea, and porcelain. ”

"That's right, in the early years, you exchanged goods for goods and sold them to Europe and other countries, but then they opened up the sea route and gradually did not need you, which led to the decline of your country's economy, and they became more and more powerful, especially after getting the Chinese ** and musket artillery, they began to oppose your expansion, but the history is always strikingly similar, if it were not for the large-scale attack of the cavalry of the Russian province on them, how could there be a re-rise of the Ottoman Empire, Isn't it the same as Temujin's breakthrough hundreds of years ago? ”

There was a deathly silence at the scene, and Kopluru Faqir Ahmed also looked at Zhang Yuliang with wide eyes. Zhang Yuliangcuo smiled slightly and continued.

"Your Majesty, but Europe is not as vulnerable as it used to be, six or seven of them will soon be united, and a small plunder will not hurt them at all, and they will soon recover with powerful firearms and warship artillery, and will soon be re-established as your Mediterranean fleet was before. And our Chinese Empire's Shen ** hated the barbarism of the Europeans very much, and he very much hoped that he could provide His Majesty with some good muskets and artillery. Helping you dominate the European continent. ”

"That's the big business you just talked about?" Kopruru Fachir Ahmed rushed down from the throne with a big step of excitement. Walked up to Zhang Yuliang and reconfirmed: "You China are really willing to sell us excellent firearms to the Ottoman Empire!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ship transporting firearms is docked not far outside the Mediterranean Sea, because I am afraid that you will cause a misunderstanding, Zhang Mou came over first!"

"Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding, Mr. Zhang just frightened you, please go to the palace with this king to talk, this king is going to put on a banquet for Mr. Zhang!" Zhang Yuliang shirked it, but he followed with a smile. The two translators were overjoyed, wiping the sweat on their foreheads and following up with hope in the palace!
