Chapter 137 [Bring the Foreign Girl Home]

Although Ao Bai can't make guns, he still understands the general principle. ^^ UC e-book

The flint was made by the French in the 16th century, and many countries in Europe are now equipped with this musket. When firing, the trigger is pulled, and under the action of the spring, the flint is hit the side of the fire door, and sparks emerge, igniting the gunpowder strike. The firing process is greatly simplified, the rate of fire and accuracy of fire are increased, it is easy to use, and the cost is low, which facilitates mass production. The flaw is still that it is relatively slow to reload.

Ao Bai knew the principle of the flint gun, the three of them did not talk about firearms to the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but they were basically like playing the piano to the cow, Ao Bai was not only not surprised by what they took out, but also broke the mystery in one word, they all felt incredible.

Gomez said a few words, and Long Huamin smiled: "Lord Huang, the marquis said that you are a person who really understands science. ”

"I also have some research on firearms, and this gun is good." Ao Bai smiled.

Giovanni took out a small black pistol and asked, "Can these guns be fired continuously?" ”

After Long Huamin translated, Giovanni shook his head, indicating that he could only shoot one and reload from the front. Aobai's interest suddenly decreased, the firearms of this era only focus on power and range, but in large-scale battles, thousands of troops charge in unison, and they can't resist it with this, and the chain crossbow is much stronger in continuous combat. He felt that Westerners were also lacking in inspiration, and if they had seen the construction of a chain crossbow, they might have been able to make a machine gun a few years earlier.

After looking at the firearms, the two sides talked about business dealings again. Now the Ming Dynasty also traded with Portugal, but only for officials and merchants, and the Ming Dynasty was definitely the one who suffered.

Scarcity is expensive. The reason is the same as trading with the Jurchens in Zhangjiakou, many of the goods of the Ming Dynasty are extremely scarce in Europe, and they can make huge profits as soon as they are brought back, while the goods brought by the Portuguese are very cheap in Europe. So if you want to make a lot of money, you must let the Ming Dynasty's navigation skills reach a certain level and go to foreign trade. In this way, it is also possible to import cheap things directly from foreign countries and sell them back.

In the future, Ao Bai plans to turn the sea ban into a customs agency that collects import and export taxes. This prevents illegal smuggling, collects taxes from foreign merchants, and controls the market. He really wanted to be emperor now, and then cooperate to obtain the Portuguese navigation skills and charts as soon as possible, so that he could sail to the New World as soon as possible, and the good places were occupied by the Europeans. If you want to grab resources, you have to go to war.

Ao Bai also proposed a plan for mutual assistance and mutual benefit, and jointly opened a colony, which Gomez did not dare to agree to casually. == .first. Fa== Ao Bai smiled and said: "Then do you want to get out of the control of Spain?" I'm used to treating you as two countries, and of course it doesn't matter if you work together, but I'm afraid that Spain will be the main country at that time. ”

Ao Bai studied world history in his previous life, and he still remembers some major events. In 1580, Portugal was annexed by Spain and became a vassal of Spain. In 1581, the Portuguese parliament agreed that King Philip II of Spain and King of Portugal would be called Felipe I. This is different from the vassal of the Ming Dynasty, which calls itself the Ming Dynasty, at least the people have their own kings. In the seventeenth century, Portugal fought Spain for decades for independence, and for the Ming Dynasty, this was the best opportunity to set foot in Europe. In other countries, it is very difficult for them to interfere in political affairs.

Long Huamin didn't know how many times he was surprised by Aobai's proposal. He didn't understand how an Oriental could understand the situation in Western countries. The Portuguese did intend to regain independence from Spain, which was an important reason why they wanted to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. They were once powerful, how could they be willing to become vassals.

Gomez originally thought that Ao Bai kept saying that Portugal dominated Europe, but he didn't understand the current situation in Europe, but he didn't expect that he wanted to help them overwhelm Spain. Da Mingken certainly did this for a purpose, but it was a godsend for Portugal to regain its independence.

Ao Bai has not yet become an emperor, and he has begun to plan to his heart's content, making empty promises, and all of them are suggestions that are difficult for people to refuse.

Gomez asked: "What if in the future the army of the Ming Dynasty goes to Europe to help our country deal with Spain, but in the future it occupies it and does not leave?" ”

Ao Bai said: "Daming is a country of etiquette, it is impossible to take advantage of the danger of people, then just give us a place like Macao as a stronghold, convenient for trade with Europe." It is too far to say that this is now, when we can sign the agreement of the Brotherly Alliance and cooperate in friendship forever. ”

After some consideration, Gomes made up his mind to report to his superiors, and Portugal gave him his full support, providing him with state-of-the-art firearms and a number of weapons experts to assist in the exhibition. Ao Bai also set a date, so that the people of the Salt Gang could find a way to receive these people and secretly bring them to the mainland.

Anna said a few words to Long Huamin, and Long Huamin translated with a smile: "Miss Anna said that you are really knowledgeable, as if you know everything. ”

Ao Bai said: "As long as the two sides cooperate, I guarantee that your military strength will also increase." As long as you go to my house and take a look, you will understand that although the flintlock is very powerful, it is still very poor in shooting, and the shortcomings are obvious, but I have a practical weapon that shoots very quickly. ”

After Long Huamin translated, Gomez expressed his willingness to let Giovanni go home with Aobai, and he wanted to return to Macau to report the matter.

Ao Bai welcomes foreigners, but he needs an interpreter. Long Huamin said that he could send a missionary who knew both Chinese languages to go home with him. At this time, Anna said a few words in Gomez's ear, Gomez shook his head with a wry smile, and said a few more words to Long Huamin.

Long Huamin smiled and said, "The marquis said that Anna wants to stay, and I hope you can take good care of her." She also knows how to make firearms and can help you. ”

Yes? Ao Bai was stunned for a moment, seeing Anna winking at herself playfully, and couldn't help but feel ape. Is this about to start a foreign romance? After saying so much today, she must have been curious about me.

Anna's appearance is an absolute Western beauty. The main reason is that the body is too hot, the face is very small, and it looks delicate, but it is convex and backward, and it is concave and convex. She has black eyebrows, black eyes, and a brown head, which is also in line with Aobai's aesthetics.

Ao Bai couldn't help but say, "Okay, very welcome." I'll take care of her. ”

Anna understood what he meant when she saw his expression, and smiled happily.

Long Huamin called his missionaries to introduce him to Aobai. He's the most tired guy here today. When he was done, he took the two guns as a gift and went home with the missionaries and Anna.

Gomez and Giovanni were about to go back immediately to report on the negotiations, and they did not want to wait for a moment. Anna stayed, on the one hand, to help, and secondly, to see if Aobai's strength was really possible to become the Ming Emperor.

He Rupet has returned from the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that Ao Bai brought back two people, he said strangely: "Dapeng, who are these two foreigners?" ”

"This is the missionary Vieri, and this is a girl from Portugal whose full name is Anafree, and everyone can call her Anna. They were going to stay in Hefu for a while, and they would study Western science with me. ”

He Rupet had no opinion, and unexpectedly, Hai Lanzhu saw that he brought back a girl, and she was not jealous, but smiled secretly. Ao Bai guessed that she must not be used to the appearance of foreigners, and thought Anna was ugly.

Ao Bai said: "These three are my wife, as well as my grandfather and grandmother. ”

As soon as Vieri translated, Anna looked at Ao Bai with a little surprise. Ao Bai added: "People in the Ming Dynasty generally marry early. ”

After Anna greeted everyone in stiff Chinese, Ao Bai arranged for someone to prepare a room for them. He carried the box to find Sun Hedou, Sun Hejing. The flint was handed over to them.

Ao Bai talked a little about the situation of these two guns, and both of them said that they were much stronger than the arquebuses used by Daming.

If this kind of gun can be changed to a company, it will really be an artifact, at least in this era, it is invincible in the world. Ao Bai said: "You guys study it, and there will be foreign firearms experts to study with you after a while." Great work. ”

"Childe's whimsy, we just do it according to Qilai, how can it be called hard work. It took a lot of effort for Childe to come up with these things. ”

I don't work hard at all, and anyone who has watched TV knows a little bit. If I'm really talented, I can do it myself. Ao Bai smiled and exited the door. The delicate pistol, he left on his body, ready to use it as a self-defense.

Anna quickly chose a room and came to worship her.

Ao Bai smiled in English: "How is it, do you like it here?" ”

Anna nodded and smiled, "I like Daming very much, and I like the people here." You're an amazing man. ”

Ao Bai can understand this sentence, and his heart beats wildly a few times, Westerners are just not ordinary. It was so straightforward when we first met. smiled: "I also like the people of your country, especially a beautiful girl like you." ”

Anna looked up at him and blinked, "Really? Do you think I'm pretty? ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Of course it's true. You're the prettiest foreigner I've ever met. ”

Mrs. He happened to pass by, heard their conversation, and said strangely after entering the living room: "I saw that Dapeng and that foreigner talked in the foreign language, when did he learn it?" ”

He Rupet was also curious: "He can speak a foreign language?" Xu Guangqi knows some, could it be that he taught it? I haven't seen them much lately, though. Do you know when he learned? ”

Hai Lanzhu and Yao Qianyu both shook their heads. Yao Qianyu said: "Maybe he learned it when he went out, don't you realize that he is different from ordinary people, and he learns things very quickly?" ”

He Rupet said: "Why didn't he show up, Xu Guangqi has always praised him as a strange person, and Daming can't find a second one." He only met foreigners once, and they became friends. He seems to have a knack for drawing people to his side. ”

Yao Qianyu sighed secretly in her heart, Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen, and even the killer are very optimistic about Aobai. When I first met him, I was quickly attracted, maybe this is the talent of a leader.
