After the envoy group toured Liaodong, even Ke Kuian had a strong interest in the Ming Dynasty, and he threw himself into the ground for the five bodies that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire had admired, no wonder people had no time to discuss the matter of arms, how many things did a superpower with such a vast territory have to deal with, and the purchase of tens of millions of taels of arms may be just a trivial matter for him.

Of course, if he knew that His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Empire actually had time for their niece of His Majesty the King of Spain, Her Royal Highness Princess Anna, who was expected to become the queen of their Spanish Empire, would have been tired of it for a few days, and it was estimated that he would be able to spurt out a mouthful of old blood in anger.

Joke, at that time, Zhu Cijiong was really focused on the northwest, and as for going to Princess Anna, it was just a procrastination plan, not really idle to have time to fall in love.

In short, no matter what, since His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire did not summon them, they still have to continue traveling.

Next, Shi Weila strongly recommended Dongdaying to them, if Liaodong is the most developed place in agriculture in the Ming Empire, then Dongdaying is the most industrially developed place in the Ming Empire, where the shipyards and the cannon foundries are terrifyingly large, if you want to understand the strength of the Ming Empire, go to the East Camp to see the most intuitive.

For the proposal of the Count of Schwila, everyone naturally readily agreed, and everyone was familiar with it at this time, although everyone vaguely knew that this count seemed to have signed a friendship treaty on behalf of Portugal and the Ming Empire, and it was a bit of a taste of making small moves behind the back of the Spanish Empire, but what does it have to do with them, who doesn't want to tie the knots in such a powerful empire, and they will stammer hard as long as they have the opportunity.

Look at the people's mix, there are thousands of guards, all of them are revolvers, there are several grenades hanging on each person, and even the entourage is equipped with revolvers, and two for each person, these weapons and equipment alone are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

And the high-ranking officials of the Ming Empire are very enthusiastic about him, every time he arrives, officials at all levels run out to greet him, just like welcoming the leaders to inspect, even His Royal Highness the Zhenguo Duke of the Ming Empire personally feasted them, and the chat with Count Schwila during the banquet was in full swing, just like an old friend who had not seen him for many years, you must know that he is a prince with an army of four or five hundred thousand, and he alone is estimated to be able to overthrow the Spanish Empire!

When they arrived at Dongdaying, Schwila even took them directly into the shipyards and cannon foundries of the Ming Empire, except for the core processing workshop, they could not go to other places, and they could visit other places casually, the scene was spectacular, there were more than ten dock waterways several kilometers long, and the super battleships could build a hundred at a time! The cannon casting workshop is more than ten kilometers long, and thousands of cannons can be cast at a time, although I don't know how their success rate is, but no matter how low the success rate is, at least a few hundred cannons can be cast in one day!

At this time, those who steal the technology are all dumbfounded, a lot of technology is placed there, what if you learn it, there are hundreds of steelmaking furnaces more than ten meters high, and in Europe, it is difficult to build one! There are more than ten docks dozens of meters high in a row, and in Europe, you try to build such a high dock, and it's no wonder if it doesn't collapse!

Just when they were amazed and unsatisfied, news came from the capital that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire would meet them tomorrow to discuss arms procurement.

In the face of such a powerful lord of the empire, they showed due respect, and as soon as the news came, they immediately hit the road, took the earliest train, and rushed to the capital.

The next morning, they got up at six o'clock, hurriedly ate something and rushed to the palace, before seven o'clock, they were already waiting outside the Chengtian Gate of the palace, they thought they had come early enough, but as a result, just in time for the morning court, the rows of officials kept coming out of the doors on both sides, afraid that there would not be thousands of people.

Shi Weila secretly told them that these are all officials of the Ming Empire who are above the fifth grade, what is the concept of the fifth grade? If it were put on the ground, they would have governed a larger area than the territories of the princes below the Holy Roman Empire! There are thousands of such officials in the capital alone, how big is the Ming Empire!

This Schwila really can't explain it to them, but then they realized that the Ming Empire is vast, they have always thought that the place where they are standing is outside the palace, looking at the width of the city wall, they estimate that the depth of this palace can be a quarter of the width of the front city wall, because no matter how big it is, it will be equivalent to a small city in Europe, why does His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire live in such a big place alone.

As a result, when they walked in and took a look, they found that they were completely wrong, this was not the gate of the imperial palace, but the gate of the imperial city, the depth of the imperial city was much longer than the width of the front wall, and this imperial city was comparable to a large city on the European continent!

Although Zhu Cijiong did not deliberately arrange a big battle for this meeting, even the guards and eunuchs of the palace are also super large in the eyes of these envoys, there are tens of thousands of guards alone, and all the emperors in the entire European continent have not had such a big battle!

After walking all the way for nearly half an hour, they finally entered the Imperial Palace, and at this time, their respect for His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire had reached its peak, so when Shi Willa took the lead and knelt down, they all knelt down without hesitation.

Zhu Cijiong is quiet on the surface, but he is a little excited in his heart, it is not easy to make foreigners take the initiative to bend their knees.

The more he admired Svera, who took the lead in kneeling, and after letting everyone calm down, he also made a joke: "Count Svera, why did you come here, do you also want to buy weapons from me?" ”

Shi Weila's Chinese is above level 10, he can naturally hear that this is the emperor joking with him, and he replied excitedly: "Your Majesty, Wechen is not here to buy weapons, Wechen is here to be your translator." “

Zhu Cijiong pursed his lips, does he still need this product as a translator, today he deliberately left all the officials above the fifth grade of the Ministry of Industry, Zeng Dezhao was standing there, but since this goods are good, he will be fulfilled, so he smiled and said: "Well, then you stand on the right with them." “

Schvila chattered a translation, and the gang quickly lined up to stand on the right, even if this thing knew that he was here to be a translator, he didn't steal the limelight from Kokuian, and stood behind the people honestly, if this goods went to the right to stop, then Koquian would be embarrassed, after all, he was the negotiator.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the envoys from the European continent were lined up, and even if all the negotiators were in place, Zhu Cijiong cleared his throat and said majestically: "As for your requirements for purchasing Type 24 flintlock pistols, I have all agreed, how do you plan to pay, and what are the requirements for the delivery date and delivery method?" “

After Schvera's translation, most of the envoys showed a relieved expression, because they were all representatives of the small princes under the Holy Roman Empire, and they mainly wanted to buy two-four flintlock pistols, of course, they also wanted to buy other weapons, but they didn't have so much money!
