The negotiator of the European envoy was none other than the Spanish governor of Manila, Corquean, because he successfully purchased 100,000 flintlock pistols from the Ming Dynasty last time, and said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire sent a fleet to the European continent, the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor attached great importance to him, not only handed over the negotiation to him with full responsibility, but also promised that if he could buy all the weapons and equipment required by the two countries, he would be awarded the title of count!

O Count! A count in Daming may not be nothing, but it is not a problem in Europe, you must know that in Europe the duke is qualified to fight for the throne of a country, that is to say, the earl is already the largest noble title below the king, how glorious it is, how noble!

After getting this promise, Coquian's whole person was like a stimulant, full of energy, in order to win this title of earl, he was even ready to use his private property to befriend the favored retainers of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, begging them to say good things to him.

Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, his mood was quite urgent, because this batch of weapons and equipment is not only related to his personal title, but also related to the victory or defeat of a major war, and now almost the entire European continent knows that because France did not listen to the Habsburg Dynasty's note and insisted on participating in the war between the Catholic League and the Protestant League, the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire have decided to send troops to attack France, maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe the war has started after the fleet of the envoys left the continent.

This battle can be said to be the key battle that determines the victory or defeat of the two major alliances, you must know that France is a traditional European continental power, before the Age of Discovery, he is a well-deserved European hegemon, and now the main forces of the Protestant alliance Denmark and Sweden have been defeated, and they still insist on refusing to end this war, because they still have France, they believe that France can lead them to turn the tables!

The Catholic League also knows that as long as France is overturned, then this war for hegemony on the European continent, which has lasted for more than 30 years, will be over, and the Habsburgs will rule the entire continent! Therefore, they eagerly sent an envoy group, and even did not hesitate to take Princess Anna, the pearl of the Holy Roman Emperor, just to get a large number of weapons from the Ming Empire as soon as possible.

Ke Kui'an's mood was quite urgent, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire was not in the mood to talk to them at that time, as soon as they arrived in Daming, they were notified that the emperor was not available during this time, so you should travel to various places in Daming for the time being.

This basin of cold water was poured down, Corquian was pulling out the cold in his heart, seeing that the European side was about to fight, he was in the mood to travel, this is related to his earl title, in case the combined forces of the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire were defeated, then his earl title would not be in vain!

He was not in the mood to travel, but the other envoys in the same company were quite interested in the scenery of the Ming Empire, of course, maybe some people had other tasks, such as spying on the military technology of the Ming Empire or something, in short, whether they wanted to or not, they all embarked on the journey.

There were many things that surprised them on this tour, and the first thing that surprised them was that their tour guide turned out to be a Portuguese aristocrat!

This Portuguese nobleman is naturally the Count of Svera, he went to the Americas to purchase rubber during this time, and he went to Ceylon to plant rubber trees, it can be said that he was tired and half dead, so he gave himself a vacation, and came to the capital to rest for a while, which was resting, I heard that the envoys from the European continent came, and the emperor intended to let them travel to Liaodong, he just wanted to know about the recent situation on the European side, and just wanted to go to Liaodong to visit an old friend, so he volunteered to be a tour guide.

Portugal is also a country under the rule of the Habsburgs, so the people of the envoy group are still very welcome to the arrival of Svera, and it is better to have their own people to lead it than to let those officials of the Ming Empire who do not understand the language lead it.

As soon as they set off, they were shocked again, because this time they actually went by train! In fact, when they first arrived in Daming, they had seen the train from afar, but at that time, they set off to the capital with His Royal Highness the regent of the Ming Empire, and it was naturally impossible for a huge team of nearly 100,000 people to take the train, plus the translators were arranged to serve Her Royal Highness Princess Anna along the way, so although they were curious, they didn't know what this moving big iron box was.

At this time, they got on the train and realized that this thing was a carriage that could run on its own, of course, the name of this carriage was not very appropriate, because it didn't need a horse to pull at all, and as for how it ran by itself, Schvera didn't know this. However, Schvila's Da Ming Tong is not blown, it can be said that he doesn't know how the train runs by itself, and he knows everything else, so along the way, the envoys are so shocked that they can't even close their jaws.

If they are surprised if they don't see a novelty, then they are at least 10,000 surprised along the way! Under Schvera's explanation, they finally realized how powerful the Ming Empire really was.

The first stop, the North Daying, where the Tianxiong Army and the First Regiment of the Frontier Army were stationed, under the leadership of Schwila, they visited the barracks, visited the houses, and stopped on the wall full of artillery. A city is an army of 200,000, and a city can accommodate a million people, which is equivalent to a medium-sized country in Europe!

The second stop, Shanhaiguan, the world's first Xiongguan was shocking enough, Shi Weila also introduced them to the history of this Xiongguan for thousands of years, and how many wars it has experienced, well, thousands of years, a thousand years ago, most of the European continent was still wild, this Xiongguan is older than their ancestors!

The third stop, Ning Yuanwei, Shi Weila introduced to them the Ming Empire's guard system, Ning Yuanwei is a relatively large guard in the Ming Dynasty, there are more than ten thousand households below, tens of thousands of guards, and there are five thousand households under the general guard, more than 5,000 people, of course, there are tens of thousands of people, like Jinyi Wei, there are fifty or sixty thousand, and such internal and external guards, there are more than 300 in the entire Ming Empire! Doesn't it mean that the Ming Empire has at least more than 1.5 million troops, and there are only a few countries with a total population of more than 1.5 million in Europe!

The fourth stop, Haizhouwei, they saw an endless sea of green, according to Schwila, this crop planting area alone has tens of thousands of square kilometers! Buying cakes, tens of thousands of square kilometers, all planted with crops, this is just a piece, there are a few countries in Europe that have this large farmland!

The fifth stop, Guanning City, Shi Weila took them on the city wall to remember the great battle, it is said that the total number of soldiers on both sides involved in the battle exceeded one million, and the number of dead alone exceeded 300,000! This seems to be a bit exaggerated, but they can't help but not believe it, because next, Schwila took them to the Liaodong Fallen Martyrs Cemetery outside the city to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in the war, just by looking at the scale of the cemetery, you can know that at least four or five hundred thousand troops can be stationed, and there are dense tombstones that can't be seen at a glance, and the soldiers who died on the Ming side alone are afraid that there will be no less than 100,000, and the casualties on the defeated side must be greater! If it was in Europe, even if it was the most powerful Spanish Empire now, if so many soldiers were killed, I am afraid that the country would have been destroyed long ago!
