Volume 12 Chapter 28 Da Ming is really terrifying
Isn't it a bit too strange to say that an emperor who has nominally come to visit his relatives has already signed two contracts, but a duke who has officially come to negotiate has not yet talked to anyone about peace talks, isn't it a bit too weird, what is this duke doing?
Gaston can't help it, he is lying on the bed humming, he has not been beaten since he was a child, but this time he was beaten by a pirate leader, he was already the bone if he was not beaten and paralyzed, and it was impossible to think that he could get up and negotiate.
Besides, he doesn't have much heart to negotiate now, he just wants to kill that barbarian Zhennan King and take revenge!
While he was lying there thinking nonsense, Philip IV came, and with the help of his chamberlain, he sat up with great difficulty, leaned on the soft pillow, and asked with hope: "Brother-in-law, have you arrested that barbarian prince, quickly, bring him here, I will kill him with my own hands!" ”
Philip IV shook his head and sighed, "Gaston, you've caused me a big problem!" “
When Gaston heard this, he said with a surprised face: "Trouble? What's the trouble, just a barbarian! “
Barbarian? Philip IV turned his head to look around, then pointed to the revolver on the waist of the guard at the door and asked, "That's advanced enough, isn't it?" “
Of course, the revolver is advanced, it can automatically revolt, and the rate of fire is super fast, he nodded: "This is the most advanced weapon I have ever seen." “
Philip IV said angrily: "The revolver was made by the Ming Empire, can you make it in France, say they are barbarians, who are the barbarians?" “
Gaston was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly quibbled again: "Hmph, what's the big deal about making a pistol, is their army as much as ours in France?" “
Compare the number of troops with the Ming Empire! Today, Philip IV is specially here to scare Gaston, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but exaggerate: "Do you know how many troops the Ming Empire has?" Speaking out scares you to death, there are more than 2 million in the army alone, and more than 1 million in the navy, there are more people than them, don't laugh people's teeth off. “
This is indeed a bit exaggerated, it is estimated that a lot of exaggerated data in history comes from this, an emperor or a king or a celebrity sometimes says an exaggerated data under special circumstances, and it will be recorded in the history books, this is said by a certain emperor or a certain king or a certain celebrity, do you believe it or not?
Gaston must not believe it, he doubted: "Impossible, then they can dominate Europe and Asia?" “
Philip IV thought for a moment and asked, "When it comes to dominating Eurasia, do you know the Mongol Empire?" “
The Mongolian Iron Horse is a nightmare for generations of Europeans, and Gaston has heard of it even if he is an idiot, and he proudly said: "You know, is it the superpower that dominated Europe and Asia in the past?" “
Philip IV said angrily: "You still know that the Mongol Empire is the previous one, tell you that the Mongol Empire was destroyed by the Ming Empire!" “
When Gaston heard this, his face changed a little, now there is indeed no Mongolian Empire, is it really destroyed by the Ming Empire, then this Ming Empire is really terrifying!
However, people like him are generally tough donkey temperaments, and they have to be killed to death, so he continued to stubbornly say: "Just kill one of their princes, you don't have to go to war with the entire Ming Empire, right?" “
Philip IV was really angry, and he asked angrily: "It's just a prince, didn't you hear how terrible that prince was that day?" “
Gaston was beaten that day, where could he hear what others were saying, except for using all his strength to identify Zheng Zhilong, who committed the murder, he was basically in a daze at other times, and he couldn't hear what others were saying at all.
He couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "I was beaten by that guy that day and almost fainted, where can I hear what you are talking about." “
When Philip IV heard this, he had to shake his head helplessly and said: "Okay, I'll tell you again, hear clearly, the barbarian prince you want to kill is the king of Zhennan of the Ming Empire, and the territory under his jurisdiction is three times larger than the Holy Roman Empire, his younger brother is the strongest sailor of the Ming Empire, the commander of the Nanyang Navy, with 100,000 navies under his command, and his four cronies are also naval commanders, and they all have 100,000 navies, his eldest son will soon become the marshal of the Ming Empire, and his youngest son is the heir of a vassal state of the Ming Empire, That subject is bigger than the Kingdom of Spain! Such a prince, let alone you, even your brother Louis XIII can't deal with it! “
When Gaston heard this, he said with horror on his face: "They lied to people, such a noble prince still beat people with his own hands?" “
Philip IV hated iron and said: "Gaston, you should also understand something, don't think about messy things all day long, the matter of the Ming Empire has actually spread in Europe a long time ago, but you have never heard of it at all, alas, let me say anything about you." “
Gaston was actually very scared in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth with the last hope and said: "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't believe you, these are all rumors, they are all rumors, none of them are facts that can be seen, what is the basis, how can people believe it?" “
Philip IV shook his head helplessly and said, "Isn't there a little truth that will be passed on to the whole continent?" There are many facts, but you don't care, the Second Fleet of the Dutch Far East was annihilated, you know? “
Gaston said unconvinced: "I know, why don't I know, their admiral Van Dimen has been captured." “
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, looked at Philip IV in fear, and muttered, "They won't be annihilated by the Ming Empire, right?" “
Philip IV said angrily: "If it's not the Ming Empire, what country can it be?" Do you know who led the Ming Empire Navy to annihilate the Dutch Second Fleet in the Far East? Tell you, it's the younger brother of the prince Zheng Zhilong you want to kill, his younger brother is now in the port of Valencia, leading 200,000 elite navies of the Ming Empire to be stationed there, do you want to go and see it? “
Gaston was really scared now, his frightened face changed, and he sat there in horror, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Philip IV put on a concerned expression and said kindly: "Gaston, do you know how much I paid to appease the anger of the Emperor of the Ming Empire, do you know that the vacant land behind the port of Valencia is almost the size of the old city of Valencia, and it is all lost to the Ming Empire." However, I still can't guarantee that they will let you go, so you better go back quickly, take care of your injuries, and come back when they are gone. “
Gaston was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, he didn't want to die, he immediately shouted in horror: "Quick, quick, pack your things, prepare the carriage, and leave tomorrow, no, leave tonight." “
Philip IV pretended to comfort a few words, then turned his head and walked out, saying in his heart as he walked: "Idiot, I can't scare you to death, you just go back and grind it for me first, the longer you grind, the better, and when the super battleship of the Ming Empire arrives, I want you to look good!" “
