Both Trafford and Speke were unimpressed by Richelieu's proposal, because neither country had too many troops, and it would not be of much benefit to them to increase the production of flintlock muskets in a frenzy, and they did not want to sell flintlock muskets to allies who had more troops than them, in case it would be dangerous to feed a white-eyed wolf.

Hmph, play with me, Richelieu sneered in his heart, and Chunchun induced: "Do you want to curb the development of the Ming Empire?" “

Isn't this nonsense, let the Ming Empire continue to develop like this, let alone rob the colony, they will all be in danger in their homeland, the two nodded in unison, with a faint eager expression in their eyes, they knew that the old fox was going to make a move.

Richelieu continued: "Do you want to send troops to drag down the Ming Empire? “

What kind of international joke, send troops to drag the Ming Empire, the Ming Empire is not so easy to provoke, if you can't drag it, it is very likely that you will even drag people to your own house with cannons, isn't that looking for death, the two shook their heads very firmly, and said they would not do it.

Richelieu spread his hands like a picker and asked very irresponsibly, "Then what do you say?" “

The two of them were dumbfounded, would they have a way to run to Paris in a hurry?

In his later years, Risseliu was notoriously empty-eyed and arrogant, and when he saw the stupid appearance of the two of them, he asked very unceremoniously: "No way? I can't help but listen to me, what do you want? “

The two looked at each other awkwardly, and there was a stalemate for a while, and finally Spie relented, and he said carefully: "Your Royal Highness, don't be angry, aren't we listening." “

Richelieu snorted coldly, took out a simple world map from his pocket, spread it out among the three of them, and then pointed to the South China Sea, and asked coldly: "Have you done anything to the Ming Empire at sea?" “

The two shook their heads helplessly, they rushed up to do it too early, and they came to listen to your chatter.

Richelieu pointed to the Persian Safavid Empire and asked coldly: "Let them attack the territory of the Ming Empire in South Asia, do they dare?" “

They dare, it's strange, now the Persian Safavid Empire is trembling between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, it's good if the Ming Empire doesn't fight them, they still dare to fight the Ming Empire, unless their high-level collectives go crazy!

Richelieu poked the Siberian region on the map heavily, and said undoubtedly: "Now, only by letting Tsarist Russia go up and dragging the Ming Empire on the cold Siberian Plateau, can we take the opportunity to develop." “

When Trafford and Speke heard this, their eyes lit up, but they soon dimmed again, Tsarist Russia is not a fool, why should they rush up to fight the Ming Empire!

Speke couldn't help but remind: "Your Royal Highness, there is a chance that Tsarist Russia will not agree to make a move, even if they agree to make a move, just by lighting the arquebus in their hands, they will not be able to withstand the regular army of the Ming Empire at all, and they will collapse in a short time." “

Richelieu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "So I asked you to increase production, make more new flintlock pistols, and contribute all the arquebuses you don't want, arm the army of Tsarist Russia, and let them drag down the Ming Empire, the longer the better." “

Even Trafford couldn't help it now, and he carefully reminded: "His Royal Highness the Duke, it is difficult to get Tsarist Russia to make a move. “

Richelieu said proudly: "I have my own way of this, you just have to provide the musket." “

Speke couldn't help but worry: "We don't have as many troops as them, what if they bite us back when the time comes?" “

Richelieu said arrogantly: "What are you afraid of, don't you have more powerful artillery, besides, no matter how strong their army is, can it be stronger than our France?" “

Trafford and Speke don't seem to be stupid at this time, oh, let's make guns crazy and send them to Tsarist Russia, you France made your own guns, and you don't produce anything, is there such a cheap thing?

Seeing the suspicious expressions of the two, Richelieu couldn't help but point to his head and scolded angrily: "Use your brains, if you want Tsarist Russia to make a move, you must use money to smash it, do you know how much money it costs?" I don't want you to make some flintlock pistols, so if you don't pay for it, we'll make guns! “

When the two of them heard this, they both showed expressions of sudden realization, they were smashed with money for a long time, according to the current situation in Tsarist Russia, they can really be smashed with money, and they are really old foxes, amazing!

The eyes of the two of them looking at Richelieu slowly turned into reverence, and when it came to playing intrigue and trickery, no one really played him in the continent.

However, it seems that the two allies, Sweden and Denmark, have been forgotten? You can't let them be cheap!

Trafford couldn't help but remind: "His Royal Highness the Duke, what about Sweden and Denmark?" You don't have to pay or contribute, it's too cheap for them, right? “

Richelieu said in a gloomy voice: "How can there be such a good thing, let them provide grain and grass, we are far away, the freight is not cost-effective, they are close, and the grain and grass are just right." “

This is all thought of, and the reverence of the two of them for Richelieu can't help but add another point, and they have to admire this brain!

Tsarist Russia didn't know that they had been calculated by the most famous old fox in Europe, and they would run to fight the terrifying Ming Empire.

In other words, would Tsarist Russia really be stupid and run over to do something with the Ming Empire?

This has to talk about the current internal situation in Tsarist Russia, in fact, it is not Tsar Mikhail I who is in power in Tsarist Russia, but a group of big nobles in the court.

This Mikhail I did not have the spirit of his uncle Ivan the Great at all, his personality was extremely weak, and he turned a blind eye to the seizure of power by the great nobles in the court, and he also cooperated very well to hand over the power in his hands and let them toss!

This led to the current rampant corruption in Tsarist Russia, and the big nobles seized power for something, not to make money, so Richelieu, Trafford and Speke all concluded that they could use money to smash them.

In other words, will these great aristocrats of Tsarist Russia really disregard the interests of the country for the sake of money and provoke the powerful enemy of the Ming Empire?

Someone once famously said, "If there is a 10% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With 20% of the profits, capital can be active; With 50% of the profits, capital will take risks; For the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all the laws of the world; With more than 300% of the profits, capital dares to commit any crime. “

Those big aristocrats inside Tsarist Russia are one of the prototypes of capital, and now it is not as simple as a profit of more than 300%, but someone wants to give them money for nothing, as long as the money is sent enough, they can't do anything!
