The Spanish officer repeatedly looked at the Ming muskets, and then asked the interpreter if he could let him fire a few shots?

This can make Zhu Hongsan's guards embarrassed, who knows what these foreign devils think, what to do if they hurt His Majesty the Emperor.

Han Sanqiang objected: "Your Majesty, you must not give them gunpowder, what if you miss and hurt Your Majesty?" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "It's okay, give him some gunpowder and let him try it!" ”

The emperor ordered Han Sanqiang not to disobey, but he also sent someone to protect the emperor before handing over a musket bullet to the officer.

The officer's eyes lit up when he took the bullet of the fixed assembly, and now the European army still uses bullets and gunpowder to be packed, and if you learn from the Ming army, you can save a lot of loading time!

The officer, under the guidance of a Ming soldier, loaded gunpowder and opened fire.

After the end, all the Spanish officers were stunned by the range of the muskets, but they did not expect the Ming army's muskets to shoot so far, and the accuracy could be completely guaranteed within 50 meters, and the longest range could reach 300 meters. Because of the airtightness of the European musket, even the heavy arquebus firing distance is only 150 meters, and the accuracy can be guaranteed within 30 meters.

Several Spanish officers muttered together for a long time before sending a major to whisper to López for a while.

López stood up and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, now my daughter is your imperial concubine, according to the etiquette of the Ming Kingdom, should I be given a dowry, I am also a Spanish nobleman, and my aunt is the king's mother, so this dowry cannot be low, I want the production technology of the musket and the gunpowder formula as a dowry!" I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom can agree? ”

Zhu Hongsan listened to this group of foreign devils and lions and wanted to hang out loud, you Spaniards want to get my skills without a dime?

Zhu Hongsan didn't answer, but said to Lang Zhong, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites on the side: "Bring the Spaniards down, treat them well, don't treat them slowly!" ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he ignored the group of Spaniards, turned around and got into the car and returned to the palace.

Zhu Hongsan now wanted to fight the Manchus and make his people poor, and he was in great need of the resources and wealth of Nanyang, so he also hoped to form an alliance with the Spaniards and clean up the Netherlands and Britain. Zhu Hongsan knows that Spain is now going downhill, but this downhill will take nearly a hundred years, and the overall strength of Spain is still stronger than that of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. And Britain does not occupy all of India now, but only occupies a few coastal cities in Calcutta, if they now unite with Spain to defeat the British, then the entire Indian subcontinent will become their own backyard, and the Ming Dynasty will also have a formal colony.

Now Luzon is only the area around Manila is the land of civilization, and all other places are still cannibalistic lands, and there is still a long way to go before Luzon can become a qualified colony.

But India is different, there are now tens of millions of people in the Indian subcontinent, and these people are not inferior to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, India is now divided into dozens of princely states, without a complete empire, when the time comes to occupy India, these princely states will be divided and disintegrated, and in less than ten years, India will become a pearl in the crown of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Hongsan and the Spaniards have the same goal, Zhu Hongsan is a politician and knows who compromises first in this kind of negotiation and who suffers, so Zhu Hongsan is ready to dry these Spaniards for a few months.

Although those Spanish turtles don't know the political wisdom of my Daming, there is no shortage of old fritters around Zhu Hongsan.

Zhang Huangyan, the military aircraft of the military aircraft department who followed Zhu Hongsan, knew that the emperor was ready to agree to an alliance with the Spaniards, or he could not take them to see the army drills. But what Zhang Huangyan was afraid of was that the secret recipe of gunpowder on his side would be transmitted to Europe, which would be unfavorable to him.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing to be in alliance with the Spaniards, but isn't it too much to give them musket manufacturing technology and gunpowder formulas, what if the Spaniards turn around and attack my Da Ming's idea?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Xuanzhu, you don't know!" In distant Europe, Spain is not the only country, they have dozens of the same countries, and these guys fight to the death by themselves, just like my Chinese Spring and Autumn Warring States! Now that Spain has declined, one of the countries called Britain is rising, and it will be a great threat to my Ming in the future! Now handing over the musket technology to Spain is precisely because I want to support Spain, let him fight in Europe and England, and when the time comes, it will be us who will make money, and it will be the Europeans who will die, isn't that good? ”

Zhang Huangyan listened to Zhu Hongsan's words in a cold sweat, just now in the main hall Zhang Huangyan heard the Spanish envoy say that the more than a dozen countries in Europe have just ended a big war, and one-third of the population of the whole Europe has died, and now the emperor has to provoke disputes for his own interests, and the Spanish army supported by the Ming army and muskets must be ashamed, and many people will die in Europe!

Just when Zhu Hongsan was hanging the Spanish mission aside, his own mission to the north for peace talks was also left aside by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, it was not that the Manchu Qing did not want to deal with this peace negotiation mission, but that the regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, was sick, and the court was in chaos, and there was no principal, so Tong Tuchang and others were left to dry.

Tong Tuchang has been in Beijing for half a month, except for a member of the Ministry of Rites to greet him when he first arrived, and after arranging for himself and others to be in the post house courtyard, no one will take care of him, and at the same time, on the grounds of different clothes, he will lock up the embassy and others in the post house, and they will not be allowed to walk around the streets freely.

The Manchu Qing arranged this way, but Tong Tuchang was in a hurry, he was the head envoy of the mission, and now he can't help if people ignore you, and at the same time, he can't figure out the true attitude of the Manchu Qing towards his side, Tong Tuchang is so anxious that he is scurrying like an ant on a hot pot.

Tong Tuchang saw Fang Fengnian, who was there with the old god, and asked, "Lord Fang, it's been half a month, and the Manchu Qing hasn't summoned us yet, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Fang Fengnian smiled and said: "There's no way to be in a hurry, we can only wait, wait until the Manchu Dynasty remembers us!" ”

Fang Fengnian can wait, anyway, he already came with the intention of repaying the king with a death, but Tong Tuchang can't! He has to go back to be promoted and make a fortune, and he still has a wife and young children waiting for him at home.

Tong Tuchang turned his head and looked at Zhao Mengguan: "Lord Zhao, aren't you Jinyiwei omnipotent?" Why is there no news now? ”

Zhao Mengguan's idea was to stir up the peace talks, so he didn't do anything for half a month, except for eating and sleeping every day, and lived a very leisurely life.

Now listening to Tong Tuchang ask himself, Zhao Mengguan replied: "Lord Tong, you have no order!" The lower official is only a military attaché, and he doesn't know what to do without the order of the superior! ”

Tong Tuchang heard Zhao Mengguan say this, so he was so angry that he didn't order you to stay?

Tong Tuchang suppressed his anger, there was no way, now he wanted his subordinates to work, so he had to say in harmony: "That's good!" Lord Zhao, now I order you to contact the secret agents in the city to find out why the Manchus don't see us!" ”

Shangguan had an order, Zhao Mengguan didn't dare not do it, and he had no choice but to stand up and take the order.

Zhao Mengguan came out of Tong Tuchang's house and thought about it, it was not a way to stay like this, it was better to go out and ask what the problem was.

After Zhao Mengguan thought about it, he found his most trusted confidant Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng caught up with Zhao Mengguan in Yangzhou and became a member of the mission. At the same time, Zhang Cheng was born in the market and was alert, which was Zhao Mengguan's help.

"Zhang Cheng, you dress up and go out, go to the old store of the Ma family in Nancheng, connect with the secret agents in Beijing, and ask about the situation of the Manchu court!"

Zhang Cheng nodded, went out to dress up, put on a Qing Dynasty horse coat, put on a melon skin hat, and a fake braid, similar to those ordinary people in the city.

Zhang Cheng came to the clean place of the post house, saw that there was no one around, and climbed over the wall.

The Ministry of Rites Post House is located here in Dongjiang Mixiang, which is the north city and is still far away from the south city.

After the Manchu Qing occupied Beijing, they divided the northern city into a Manchurian city, and only Manchurian nobles were allowed to live, and at the same time divided the northern city into eight areas, which were stationed by the Eight Banners. However, now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has just entered the customs for less than five years, there is still a mix of Manchus and Hans here in Beicheng, so Zhang Cheng's appearance is so bad that no one pays attention to it.

The closest passage from the south city in the north city is to take the Zhengyang Gate, but the Zhengyang Gate is the road taken by the Son of Heaven, which can be opened from time to time, and Zhang Cheng has no choice but to detour to Chongwen Gate.

Chongwenmen here in the Ming Dynasty is where the tax customs are, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to extend the old system of the Ming Dynasty, Chongwenmen here has not changed at all.

Zhang Cheng honestly handed over five coppers to let him out of the city, and the southern city is now full of Han people, and the management is not as strict as the northern city. Zhang Cheng followed Zhao Mengguan's instructions and quickly found the old Majia store located in Caochang Hutong.

It is said that it is an old store of the Ma family, but in fact it is just a small restaurant selling inferior soju on the Caochang Hutong in Nancheng. Nancheng Caochang Hutong is inhabited by coolies, and the old shop of the Ma family is mainly engaged in their business.

Zhang Cheng looked at the signboard of the Ma family's old store, looked around again, and no one followed, and bent down into the store.

Now there is a shortage of food in the whole north, and there are still people who come to the restaurant to eat and drink, so the business of the old Ma family store is not very good, and there is not a single customer in the house.

After Zhang Cheng entered the house, he saw that there were only five tables in this small shop, a guy was sitting on the edge of the table and napping, and the shopkeeper was sleeping on the counter.

When Zhang Chen came in, the doorbell rang, and the guy quickly stood up when he heard a guest coming to the door and asked, "Uncle is here!" What do you want to eat? I have good old wine in my shop! ”

Zhang Cheng looked around, found a table near the window, sat down, and asked, "What kind of wine are there?" ”

"Uncle, we have a bowl of self-brewing, Uncle can taste it!"

"Is there three bowls of Wu Song to drink?"

Zhang Cheng was talking about the incision in the Jinyi Guard, and the guy was stunned when he heard it, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still need cooked beef?" ”

"Pick up the good ones and cut them into two or three catties!"
