Chapter 676: Waiting for news

Ye Xun's magic immediately made William put away his proud tail.

Puzzled, he said to Ye Xun: "Lord Ye knows our Majesty the King? ”

"Of course I know, his swordsmanship is still taught by Bengong, he should be James VI in Scotland, and he was called James I after the annexation of England, I'm right! Well! This should have been twenty years ago, and after all, my father hadn't seen him for more than twenty years, by the way, did he plan to dissolve the parliament recently? ”

William was completely blinded, as far as he knew, the Ye Gonggong in front of him was not yet thirty, and twenty years ago, how old was he to teach King James swordsmanship?

If you want to say that it is impossible, but he said everything that happened in the British Empire accurately, didn't he really go to Scotland?

Ye Xun didn't seem to see William's shock, and said to himself: "Is it that James missed me, a swordsmanship teacher, so he sent you?" Take the gift list and let my father see it, what gifts has he prepared for me, the teacher? ”

It's really the same as the legend, this legendary Ye Gonggong really loves money like life, and he is really so shameless.

Of course, there were gifts, but they were not given by King James, but by order of the Viceroy of India, all of which were some local products, precious swords and swords, and the most valuable thing was a delicate short-handled firearm.

Looking at the gift list presented by William, Ye Gonggong's face suddenly sank, and he casually threw the gift list aside, and said lightly: "Tell me what you are doing!" My husband is very busy, only half a pillar of incense time"

As soon as Ye Xun's words fell, the guards on the side cooperated to light half a pillar of incense.

Looking at the incense candles that had been lit, William felt that his brain was a little bad, and his face changed too quickly, right?

Judging from Ye Xun's attitude, William can see that this is definitely a master who does what he says.

Busy said as quickly as possible: "The Governor wants to sign an agreement with Lord Ye on the affairs of the Mughal state."

"What kind of agreement?"

Ye Xun asked quietly, and said in his heart that as Lao Tzu expected, these guys would not have chased after them if they were fine.

"Your Excellency the Governor hopes that the Mughal will be divided into two, and we will support Shah Jahan, and the Bengal region controlled by Marshal Bashik will be managed by the Ming Dynasty, I wonder what Lord Ye thinks?"

This kind of shameless agreement is only proposed by these colonists, they came to negotiate with Ye Xun, if Ye Xun agrees, it is equivalent to dividing up the Mughals in private, without caring about what the Mughals think.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, and justice is only within the range of artillery.

These hegemonic ideas can be said to be vividly embodied in these colonizers.

Although Ye Xun has never done colonial business, he is undoubtedly a staunch practitioner of power.

Turning his head to look at the incense candles that were about to burn out, he suddenly smiled and said: "There is a military exercise outside the city tomorrow, General William may wish to go with my father to watch it, and then my father will return to Beijing, this matter is still left to Beijing, and our officials of the Ministry of Rites will discuss it with General William!" ”

After Ye Xun finished speaking, he didn't wait for William to react, and got up and left directly.

William stretched out his hand to call Ye Xun, but saw that the tower-like body of the head of the guard was already in front of him.

His subordinates would arrange for William's and his entourage to stay and eat, and after returning to the back residence, Ye Xun sat on a chair and pondered.

Bashik has written more than once, hoping that Ye Xun and Arjuna's son will go to the Mughal to inherit his inheritance, but the son is too young for Ye Xun to bear to let him leave.

However, since feeling the evil of his eldest son, Ye Xun has a premonition that in the future, whether it is Red Sleeves or Arjuna, their life in the palace will not be good, so it is better to let Arjuna leave with her son first.

Since his son could inherit the Mughal inheritance, Ye Xun would never allow the British to get involved in the Mughals.

But with the arrogance of the British, negotiations will certainly not solve the problem, and it is obvious that a major war between the Ming and the British is inevitable.

To put it bluntly, the combat capability of the British Army has really not been taken into account by Ye Xun, but if it is the Shah Jahan army armed by the British, it cannot be taken lightly.

Early the next morning, William and his party were invited out of the city.

The commander-in-chief of the Ming army stationed in Korea was Cao Wenzhao, who was not only in charge of the Korean garrison, but also had to take into account the movements of the Japanese side.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, the defeat ten years ago has always been regarded as a great shame by Cao Wenzhao, so in terms of guarding against the Jurchens, he has never been more than half lax.

In order to prevent Huang Taiji from killing the horse pistol, Ye Xun also transferred a large number of artillery to North Korea, in addition to the military camp outside Seoul, which has been deployed to the seaside, there are still more than 40 powerful field guns.

So when William and the others saw the heavy guns with the barrels held high, they couldn't move their legs, and they had seen the guns on the Ming warships before, although they were shocked, but they didn't make them scared.

But at this moment, William felt a chill rising from his back, was the Ming Dynasty army already strong?

In order to facilitate observation, Cao Wenzhao set up a high platform behind the artillery position, and not only that, but every Englishman who came to watch the performance was presented with a monocular.

This alone makes the British ashamed of themselves, knowing that although telescopes are not a rare thing on a sea ship, they are not available to everyone.

As the glass in the northwest base becomes more and more refined, telescopes have long been popular among the Ming officials, so it is really not a matter of recklessness to send dozens of them at a time.

The personnel were in place and after asking Ye Xun, Cao Wenzhao gave an order, and more than 40 artillery pieces roared almost at the same time.

Forty artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the earth shook the mountains.

Many Britons, who were standing and watching with binoculars, were immediately frightened and sat down, and couldn't help but drop their binoculars and cover their ears.

The target is a hillside miles away, stacked with stones as a target.

After one round of artillery fire, those targets were already submerged in the firelight, and after three rounds of artillery fire, the entire hillside seemed to be cut off a layer, let alone the targets, and even a piece of land that was a little more intact could not be found.

Ye Xun glanced at William, who had already adapted to the sound of the cannon and stood up again, and said with a smile: "General William, how is the artillery fire of our army?" ”

William's mood at the moment, not to mention how depressed he was, he really couldn't understand how the Ming Dynasty people made such a powerful artillery?

The eardrums were buzzing just now, so I didn't hear Ye Xun's words at all.

Seeing this, Ye Xun of course knew what was going on, and he didn't continue to call him, waved his hand to Cao Wenzhao, and signaled the exercise to continue.

At Cao Wenzhao's signal, the eyes of all the British turned to the other side.

On the other side was an open field, and with the order of the front-line officer, five hundred Ming soldiers carrying new muskets walked out quickly.

British muskets have also begun to develop, but when William looked at the musket carried by the Qingming army from the telescope, he couldn't help but exclaim...
