Chapter 566: Wooing (2)
Jackson also didn't understand Ling Jingyang's question, he just explained to Ling Jingyang that it was the Pope's order.
The Pope repeatedly ordered the countries of Europa to attack the land of China by sea, and the ultimate enemy was not the Ming Kingdom, but the Fusang Empire of East Asia, not only Jackson did not understand, but the kings of other countries in Europa also did not understand.
There was a small country that was the first to attack the Ottoman Empire after receiving advanced weapons, and was discovered by the Pope before it reached the border of the Ottoman Empire.
For this reason, the Pope issued a killing order, and the countries that received advanced weapons encircled and suppressed this disobedient small country, and the European continental powers did not dare to disobey the Pope's holy decree, and were forced to attack against their will, and finally destroy the small country and enslave its people.
Because of the pope's high-handed policy, the countries of Europa endured their disgust and allowed the Ottoman Empire to continue to dangle under their noses.
After Jackson finished speaking, Ling Jingyang touched his chin, thinking to himself, could it be that not only him, but also the Fusang people, the Europas, and other forces have also returned to this world?
But this is also unreasonable, he asked Jackson again, did the Ottoman Empire get advanced weapons from the pope?
Jackson shook his head firmly, after the countries were given advanced weapons by the Pope, many countries did want to attack Ultraman, although they were forbidden by the Pope, but they still sent a large number of spies to the Ottoman Empire.
According to the information fed back by the spies, the Ottoman Empire is no different from before, and the weapons used are still old-fashioned weapons, and I don't know how far behind the new weapons are.
At this moment, Ling Jingyang was also confused, and Zhao Tu thought about the problem from the perspective of a Ming army general. He suddenly said: "Duke, could it be this so-called Ottoman Empire, which the Pope used to contain the European continent countries?" ”
Everyone suddenly opened their mouths, and Ling Jingyang also knew a lot about the grievances between the Ottoman Empire and the countries of Europa.
When France was strong, the British Empire and the Ottoman Empire attacked France, and after the German Empire became strong, the Rakshasa Empire united with the Ottoman Empire to harass Germany.
In short, the countries of Europa are a group of powerful hooligans who do not obey other countries, and they are either fighting or going to mix

On the way to war.
According to the available information, there are several big countries in China, including the Netherlands, France, the British Isles, and Spain, which are also powerful countries in the European continent, but there is another country in Europa, and there is no news, that is, the Prussian Empire.
This empire is most famous for its military strength, and Ling Jingyang asked Jackson whether the Prussian Empire had sent troops to China.
Jackson replied in the affirmative that the Prussian Empire absolutely did not send troops to China.
Ling Jingyang asked him again, what about his hometown when the powerful countries of Europa sent their strongest troops to the Huaxia Continent? Isn't it vulnerable to a sneak attack by hostile countries?
This question made Jackson a little unable to get off the stage, and Ling Jingyang said that he was just a grenadier regiment commander, and he couldn't know the more advanced inside story at all, and if he wanted to know more information, he had to go to Guangzhou Mansion to talk to Sir Edmund, Sir Edmund was a member of the royal family, and he must know the inside story in this regard.
Ling Jingyang thought about it, Jackson has so many Inner Mongolia in a small regiment, since this Edmond is a member of the royal family, then he has more cultivation value than Jackson, Ling Jingyang decided to play a big vote, he can support Sir Edmond and replace the existing king of the British Isles, Jackson is secretly cultivated as a pawn to contain Edmund, if Edmond is disobedient, get rid of Edmund, Edmond is obedient, let Jackson lie down.
Ling Jingyang suddenly changed his face and gave Jackson a task, as long as he completed this task, he would send Jackson 5,000 taels of silver, and also promoted Jackson to the general army.
The general army of the Ming Dynasty is not important to Jackson, his troops only have more than 100 remnants of the defeated generals, and Ling Jingyang has not returned the weapons to them, this more than 100 people are not as good as the ordinary 100-person combat troops of the Ming army, if you want to get Ling Jingyang's approval, you have to make achievements.
Jackson looked up highly, patted his chest and asked Ling Jingyang to give the order.
"Okay, you go to Guangzhou Mansion now, invite Sir Edmund to Huizhou City for a gathering, and say that the governor of the five armies of the Ming Dynasty has invited him."
Jackson would never have thought that Ling Jingyang would not let him charge, but let him invite Sir Edmund to Huizhou City, it was better to let him charge, Jackson's face was more ugly than crying, Ling Jingyang deliberately stimulated him,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Is it a lack of faith?
Where does Jackson still have confidence, the grenadier regiment was defeated by the Ming army, it should reach Sir Ears, he is a defeated general, and he has the face to return to Guangzhou Mansion, what will Sir Edmund think of him, can he be sent to the gallows immediately?
He wrote the expression of rejection on his face, and Ling Jingyang was not ambiguous, the grenadiers were the absolute main force of the British Isles in China, at least until the Royal Cavalry Regiment arrived in China, the Grenadier Regiment was synonymous with Britain in China.
It's just that now that the grenadier regiment has been annihilated, will Sir Edmond in Canton be besieged by France and Spain?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and Jackson is like an initiation.
This is Ling Jingyang's opportunity to give him meritorious service, after thinking about it, he learned the etiquette of the Ming people, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Governor, I will go to Guangzhou Mansion and invite Sir Edmund to Huizhou City, and also invite Sir Edmund to entertain Sir Edmund." ”
"You can teach you, go! By the way, I will give you another thousand taels of silver as a gift from me to Sir Edmund. ”
Then Ling Jingyang let the three of them go down, he remembered that after leading the army into Huizhou, Jin Sheng and the imperial court still gave him a lot of support, especially in the area of military salary, Jin Sheng gave Ling Jingyang 500,000 taels of silver in one go, as well as one million stones of grain and grass, these military salaries and grain and grass were accumulated by Jin Sheng in Huizhou Mansion and Shaozhou Mansion, and they were all given to him in one go, he was very grateful to Jin Sheng and Du Yinxi for their support to him, but his determination to stand on his own still did not change.
It is precisely because of the silver that Ling Jingyang became very generous, not only giving Jackson 5,000 taels of silver, but also giving 10 taels of silver to each of the defeated remnants of Jackson's men, and letting the military doctor treat the wounded soldiers, and finally in order to have a sense of belonging to this group of remnants, Ling Jingyang ingeniously gave each remnant a spear, at least from the face of it, and did not treat this group of grenadiers as prisoners of war.
After Jackson took the order, he deliberately returned to the barracks and asked the adjutant to trim his hair and beard, and when he was taking care of his makeup, Xu Sheng sent him silver and silver, and said that he could escort Jackson to Guangzhou Mansion.
Jackson expressed his understanding of Xu Sheng's kindness, and only asked to give him two fast horses, rush to Guangzhou City as soon as possible, bring the Governor's intentions to Sir, and then ask Sir to meet with the Governor in Huizhou Mansion.
