Chapter 834: If you want to take it, you must first take it

The living room is very well lit, and the morning sun shines on the floor to bring a sense of life, and Madame Rambouillet, who is in a good mood, leans back on the sofa and slowly enjoys a cup of black tea from the East. Being able to own a mansion in the concession of the Ming Dynasty, although it is bought with one's own money, is not something that everyone can do.

Friendship is the most unreliable thing, and the most reliable thing is gold coins. Madame Rambouillet's relationship with Carnon was based on gold coins, and it would have been impossible for Madame Rambouillet to have a connection with a Protestant if it were not for profit. Not to mention the luxury houses that can get a 50% discount on the concession of the Ming Dynasty, the scope of the concession is limited.

"Madame, the carriage is ready." The maid came over to report, stood up and looked in the mirror, and after turning around, the marquise smiled with satisfaction: "The clothes of the Ming Empire are comfortable to wear." "The aqua blue dress with broken white flowers alone was enough to drive the ladies of the Parisian salons crazy, not to mention the perfume and diamond corsage that Carnon gave her, which were good things that money could not buy. In return, XLR successfully entered the luxury market in Paris.

Carnon, who was holding his waist with one hand, looked at the Marquise de Rambouillet who was getting off the carriage with a strong maternal luster on his face, and after a warm hug, the two whispered intimately.

"As soon as I arrived yesterday, I heard that the Governor's wife was holding a ball tonight and invited Mr. Zhang to attend." With a simple sentence, the Marquise succeeded in stirring up Carnon's discontent, but there was no strong reaction. Yesterday's incident gave Carnon a big blow. Zhang Guangde, who pulled down his face, found the momentum of killing people in Herosmo Port again. This made Canon quickly see his status clearly, and there was a bottom line for men's connivance.

"Damn Portuguese bitch smash! I always want to send a cheap woman to Zhang's side. Canon could only curse like that. And it doesn't change anything. Zhang Guangde did not hide the situation in her family, and also knew that there was a home in the distant Ming Dynasty, as well as a wife and children. Of course, for the time being, there is only one woman in Europe who gives birth to Zhang Guangde. But just with that guy's wind and flow nature, who knows how many women will come to their father with wild seeds in the future.

"Honey, men are like that. You should be content. After all, if you can stay by his side, the child born will not be without a father. It is not enough for a woman to have a good look, your biggest role is not in bed, but in the business channel in your hands. As long as you have a firm grasp of this, don't worry about no future. The Marquise whispered a persuasion, and Carnon nodded, her frustrated expression much better. Knowing that his influence on Zhang Guangde's actions is limited, that is, he is pregnant with a child, Zhang Guangde is much gentler.

"I know. But the thought of those circling around him makes my heart unhappy. ”

Zhang Guangde in the study crossed Erlang's legs to drink tea, and Ni Zhigao, a spy, sat opposite the coffee table.

"The hatred between the old and the new is too deep to resolve. Madame is Protestant, and this can be exploited. Louis XIV advocated religious unity, and there was a lot of pressure from the Protestants. One more point, Louis XIV advocated the introduction of technology, a deal with us. There will definitely be requirements for this. On the face of it, the French suffered on the battlefield. In fact, Spain is too weak, and the gap between the two sides in strength is very large, even with our arms support, it is still difficult for Spain to win. ”

Ni Zhigao's work affects the results, and Zhang Guangde must admit this, and there are few words. The situation was analyzed very clearly.

"Right now, in the religious circles of Europe, an old narrative has resurfaced." When Ni Zhigao mentioned this, his expression became serious. Zhang Guangde's casual appearance was also put away, and he sat upright and looked at the other side and said, "What do you say?" ”

"Yellow Peril!" Ni Zhigao spit out word by word, and his tone was extremely solemn. "Huh?" Zhang Guangde tilted his head. When he looked at it suspiciously, Ni Zhigao sighed and popularized science to this boss who thought it was quite reliable: "More than 400 years ago, during the Mongols' westward expedition, the Mongols hit the banks of the Danube. ”

"Damn, the Mongols are so good?" Zhang Guangde exclaimed in surprise, what happened more than 400 years ago is really incomparable with now. According to the current mode of war, the war against Europe must be carried out by sea, otherwise the ammunition problem alone will not be solved.

"It's not the Mongols who are cattle, but the Europeans are rotten, and the tactics of the Mongols are relatively rough, and they fight all the way to feed the war, and they have an absolute advantage in tactics. How to say it, the mobility is strong enough, and the European armies are fighting on their own soil and can only be beaten passively. Besides, at that time, there were no firearms in Europe, and there was no good way to deal with the Mongols' mobile cavalry and archery tactics. ”

"What do you mean, someone is comparing the Ming Empire with the Mongolian barbarians?" Zhang Guangde finally returned to the topic, Ni Zhigao nodded and said: "European countries can play dog brains for religious issues. In their eyes, Da Ming is a heretic, and the contradictions are irreconcilable. After the Thirty Years' War subsided, the European countries were scattered, and this statement will not cause major trouble for the time being, but it is difficult to say in the future. Grandpa's foreign policy, adults are not unaware. In the South Seas, in India, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries, there is no less loss from the grandfather. Now that Daming has set foot in North America and occupied such a place in Port Heroís, the roots of hatred have long been buried. Cut off people's money and kill their parents. ”

Zhang Guangde nodded and said: "I understand, in the future, we must keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and try to avoid European countries uniting." ”

Ni Zhigao shook his head and said, "The adults have misunderstood, I mean I hope that the adults will report this matter to the grandfather as soon as possible." As for what we do in Europe, it doesn't really matter. The key is still the conflict of interests between the expansion of the Ming Empire and the European powers, which is the cause and effect. ”

The knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two, and Zhang Guangde asked unhappily: "Who?" The door opened, and Carnon came in with one hand on his hip and said, "My dear, the Marquise de Rambouillet has arrived, will you meet?" Seeing that it was Kanon, the displeasure on Zhang Guangde's face subsided slightly, and when he walked to the door, he still stared at the guards in the courtyard with fierce eyes. Today's conversation is top secret, no one is allowed to disturb it, and someone has violated what he has explained, and this cannot be tolerated.

"Okay, I know, you go to the reception first, I'll come later." Zhang Guangde said perfunctorily, and Kanon looked at him pitifully with big eyes and said: "My dear, I was wrong, for the sake of the child, don't be angry, just this once." As soon as he said this, Zhang Guangde immediately understood, this woman came over with her stomach up, who dared to stop her.

Thinking about it carefully, without this woman, the future plan is not easy to promote, Zhang Guangde nodded, still gloomy face, and said coldly: "Don't take it as an example." Karnon immediately knelt down and trembled, "Master, you should punish me." ”

Zhang Guangde, who eats soft and does not eat hard, was made out of temper, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Remember, I'm not targeting you." For you, I'm an amazing big person, but back to Daming, I'm a small person. If I delay the affairs of the big guys, even if I want to apologize with death, it will affect Daming's family. ”

This is a bit heavy, on one side it is for Kanon, and on the other side it is for Ni Zhigao. This spy leader, looking at the harmlessness of livestock, Zhang Guangde knows very well that his yin damage is ruthless. For the layout of Europe, many of the tricks are based on his intelligence and plans. For example, the arms purchased by Spain were achieved under his plan. The stupid governor of Angra Sanstromo Sansseemo, who had used all his strength to eat, had only sold more than a thousand flintlock pistols, and the object of sale was still Viana.

Hearing this, Kanon shuddered, she was not stupid, otherwise she would not be able to keep the child in her belly. If it weren't for the ability he showed at the beginning, and Zhang Guangde really needed a helper, Kanon didn't feel any different from other concubines and heads.

"Come here today, and I'll go meet the pretty widow." After sending Carnon away, Zhang Guangde came back to explain, Ni Zhigao smiled and said: "My lord, this widow is a fan of high society in France, not just a luxury dealer. This should not be reminded of this. ”

Zhang Guangde immediately thought of Pierre, who had hit the iron plate, and sold arms to France, Zhang Guangde was not reluctant, but planned to wait for other competitors to appear and force Pierre to compromise. Zhang Guangde, who had already walked to the door, stood up and turned his head and said, "You mean, can France be stronger?" ”

Ni Zhigao smiled and nodded: "Louis XIV is ambitious, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not have a positive conflict of interest with him, France is destined to become the target of Europe." As the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must give it first. The meaning of this is very simple, to launch a guy to hate Da Mingla.

Zhang Guangde smiled, turned around and left. Ni Zhigao is too shady to say that he doesn't have a very good appetite for Zhang Guangde. However, in terms of the current situation, his idea is still the most appropriate. On the one hand, it fueled Louis XIV's ambition to fight for Damingla, and on the other hand, he took advantage of the religious contradictions in France to quietly cultivate the seeds of civil strife.

With the gentlest smile, Zhang Guangde appeared in the living room, and the marquise who was waiting in the living room stood up, straightened her chest, and shook her full part slightly. This French woman is indeed rich in money, and she easily attracted Zhang Guangde's attention.

"It's rude, honorable Marquise." Zhang Guangde is thousands, and the locals come to kiss the hand, and the moment they bow their heads, the eyes of the two are intertwined in the air, giving birth to a trace of calcium carbide fire.

After the hypocritical greetings, the Marquise de Rambouillet smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I have specially invited you to tonight's ball. ”

"Prom?" Zhang Guangde paused slightly, and the marquise said: "That's right, it's in the concession, in my house." (To be continued......)
